247 A Career in Entertainment?
As soon as Gu Qingming returned, she saw a big boy running over. His eyes lit up and he looked very excited.
He ran to her and looked at her beautiful face, but he was at a loss.
He rubbed his hands together and stuttered, “Sis… are you interested in entering the entertainment industry?”
Gu Qingming raised her eyebrows and repeated, “Entertainment industry?”
“Yes, the entertainment industry!” Xu Duoduo said excitedly. “Sister, your looks are natural. Even compared to the stars in the entertainment industry, you’re stunning. So, with your looks, you’ll definitely become popular.”
Gu Qingming asked in amusement, “So, you mean that I can rely on my looks to enter the entertainment industry and become famous?”
Xu Duoduo didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. He nodded and said, “That’s right. After you become famous because of your beauty, all kinds of jobs and endorsements will come looking for you. At that time, you can earn a lot of money.”
At this point, he looked outside and sighed softly. “Sister’s beauty is hidden in this small mountain village. That’s really too beautiful. Sister is so beautiful, so devastatingly beautiful, and so stunning. You should let everyone know and let everyone see your beauty.”
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “So, to put it bluntly, I’ll just be relying on my looks to earn money in the entertainment industry.”
Xu Duoduo was slightly stunned. Then, he scratched the back of his head and explained, “Sister, you can clearly rely on your looks to earn money. Sister, your good looks are really wasted in this countryside. Do you want to consider it?”
At this point, he explained, “Don’t worry, I’ll sign you to my company. I definitely won’t let you be tainted by those messy things.”
Although his entertainment company was not the leader of the industry, it was a big company. If one wanted to touch his company, they had to think twice.
When Gu Qingming heard this, she asked in amusement, “If I really enter the entertainment industry, do you really think you can protect me?”
Xu Duoduo was either too young or did not have enough experience and did not see the problem.
With her beauty and his small entertainment company, how could he protect her? In the entertainment industry, one might be the boss of the industry, but how could he fight against the many forces outside the industry?
The entertainment industry had always been extremely messy. In order to stand out, other than having a deep background and a relatively powerful force, one could only be subjected to unspoken rules.
Celebrities who were not made famous by unspoken rules either relied on their ability or luck. But such celebrities were few and far between! He was really too naive.
If she was really an ordinary farmer, she might be tempted by the temptation of money. However, her family was rich.
The family’s tens of billions were waiting for her to inherit. Why should she enter the entertainment industry?
Moreover, she was not interested in the entertainment industry.
Gu Qingming did not refuse directly. Instead, she continued in amusement, “Little Xu, you only saw my face. Didn’t you see my belly?”
With that, she patted her stomach gently.
Xu Duoduo smiled and said, “Your belly is already so big. You should be able to give birth soon. When your child is born, we can hide the existence of this child from the public.”
Unexpectedly, when Gu Qingming heard this, her expression sank slightly, as if she was unhappy.
She asked again, “You want me to hide the existence of this child? Why?”
“Of course, it’s because of the value!” Many said. “In the entertainment industry, the value of a woman who has given birth is completely different from a woman who doesn’t have children. In the entertainment industry, how many female celebrities who have given birth can continue to be popular after coming back? These people were very popular at that time. They got married and had children. When they came back after giving birth, they were replaced by the new generation.”
At this point, he paused for a moment and sized up Gu Qingming. He said honestly, “If Sister enters the entertainment industry, she should take the route of beauty. However, this route has to be carefully planned. However, the value of a famous celebrity who becomes famous with her beauty lies in not getting married and having children.”
The commercial value of celebrities who got married and had children would greatly decrease. No company would allow their artists to get married and have children before their contracts were terminated.
Even if they did, they were not allowed to make it public unless they had no choice!
Of course, as rich second-generation heirs, many businessmen in the future would naturally prioritize benefits.
He was only 18 years old now. It was too easy for him to see the problem!
Gu Qingming shook her head and refused. “I’m sorry, Little Xu. I’m not interested in joining the entertainment industry. My interest now is the peace and elegance of the countryside. I’ll give birth to this child and watch her grow up.”
Xu Duoduo said anxiously, “Sister, entering the entertainment industry is really profitable. Just by filming an advertisement, you can earn a few million. There’s also a certain popular female celebrity who clearly doesn’t have any acting skills. But by relying on her beauty, she can earn hundreds of millions from filming a television drama. Also…”
He cited many examples of celebrities earning money, as he tried to move Gu Qingming.
After all, since ancient times, wealth was the most moving!
To him, Gu Qingming was a countryside farm girl. When she heard that she could earn so much money with her looks, would she not be tempted?
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingming still shook her head and refused. “Little Xu, don’t say anymore. I’m living in the countryside now. I don’t want to go to those messy places!”
She did not tell him that her true identity was a rich person. Not to mention a few million or hundreds of millions, she had a net worth of billions.
Hearing Gu Qingming’s rejection, Xu Duoduo looked a little disappointed. He refused to give up and said, “Sister, think about it again. I’ll give you my business card. Call me when you’ve thought about it, okay?”
With that, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Gu Qingming.
Gu Qingming did not refuse.
Many years later, when he saw that beautiful and valiant woman on the financial news answering the host’s questions, he felt very ashamed and vexed.
The person he thought to be a villager was actually the heir of a billionaire corporation and the wife of the richest man.
His wealth was nothing in front of her.
He had even tried to use money to move her into that dirty entertainment industry.
Grandma had been listening from the side. After Gu Qingming left, she smiled and said, “My Ming’er is a quiet person. The entertainment industry is not suitable for her. You should find someone else.”
Xu Duoduo was stunned. “Huh?”
