Chapter 1363 - 708: Gold Medal Producer
Tang Jierui, male, 21 years old, material science major at East Sea University, a junior student.He is 1.85 meters tall, perfectly meeting the height standards of girls these days, not to mention he is quite the heartthrob.
As early as elementary school, he was recognized as the school’s top crush. It’s inevitable; his parents’ genetics combined too well.
Although his biological parents aren’t ugly, they weren’t exactly handsome and beautiful, yet he was extremely lucky to inherit all the good looks from them.
His dad has a square face, his mom has a round face, and somehow he ended up with a lovely oval face.
His eyes and eyebrows resemble his father’s, with thick brows and large eyes, especially lively big eyes. His nose and mouth resemble his mother’s, with a prominent nose and lips that are neither too big nor too small, quite rounded, making him look very appealing.
Thus, his combination of features makes him a heartthrob.
Starting in elementary school, he began receiving special care and affection from many girls, with female classmates fighting for his attention, even physically at times.
In middle school, the situation intensified, and his desk would regularly receive love notes or letters, along with breakfasts and snacks delivered to him by girls almost every day. Besides, many girls were openly and secretly fighting over him.
But he always remembered the teachings of his parents, especially his retired veteran father, who would discipline him with a belt whenever he disobeyed, leaving a significant psychological shadow from childhood with a powerful deterrent effect.
As a result, his academic performance remained excellent. He remained indifferent to the girls’ affections and pursuits around him until he successfully entered East Sea University with relatively outstanding grades.
After entering university, he became an adult, and being away from parental supervision, especially relieved from his father’s deterrence, he began to truly unleash himself.
Shortly after starting his freshman year, a senior with a hot body and proactive personality pursued him, leading him to lose his virginity at a hotel, which confused him. It was as if he discovered a new world, unlocking a hidden part of himself.
Afterward, he gradually transitioned from a novice in romance to a playboy, lingering among several women, both inside and outside of school, both young and mature.
These women never asked for his money; many even gave him money, bought him clothes, and gifts were normal.
Because he was a heartthrob, he not only gained physical satisfaction from these women but also earned money and benefits.
To him, without a doubt, it was a new approach to work-study.
Coming from an average family background, his roots trace back to a small central town. His dad, a retired soldier, shifted to become a driver, earning less than several tens of thousands a year. His mom, with poor health, has always been a housewife without any income.
Being their only child, his parents managed to save enough to raise him to college, supporting his university education.
However, the monthly allowance from his parents barely covered basic living expenses. Going out for gatherings like his classmates for recreation and fun was nearly impossible.
Now that he realized he could date while making money, he certainly wouldn’t let the opportunity slip.
Thus, he began to flutter like a busy butterfly among the flowers, starting to lose himself.
Hence, after entering university, he gradually loosened his academic requirements and lacked the energy and spirit to study.
During his freshman year, he managed not to fail any subjects, but in sophomore year, he began to fail, failing three subjects consecutively.
Just as he resolved to tone down unnecessary social activities and lessen work-study gigs, he was discovered by a talent scout.
Without much hesitation, he chose to sign a contract to become a celebrity, immediately receiving a signing fee of 200,000. He sent 100,000 to his parents, telling them about his signing and celebrity plans, flaunting in front of the father he dreaded since childhood.
Initially, being a celebrity inevitably conflicted with continuing his university studies. He wasn’t foolish enough to completely abandon his East Sea University degree for celebrity life.
Moreover, the signing company needed East Sea University’s honor student status as a golden label for promo and persona, so after several communications with the school, primarily relying on the signing company’s strength, they finally managed to settle the relationship with the school, extending him special consideration.
Mainly allowing him to take leaves at any time, skipping classes, but exams-wise, there was no compromise; he’s still at risk of failing.
Tang Jierui proved himself, having a solid knowledge foundation, and successfully through the retake of the previous three failed subjects despite being busy with various talent trainings post signing the contract.
Afterward, he tried to attend classes whenever possible, squeezing in study time. It’s not only his requirement but the company’s as well.
As for the women he previously associated with, most relationships were severed, leaving only the top-quality ones—the ones that satisfied him most—with occasional secret contact.
Tang Jierui, post two to three months of urgent talent training, officially debuted by first participating in a variety talent show called "Flower Handsome Man," unexpectedly winning the championship.
Thereby officially gaining fame with a distinct fan base and popularity, he proceeded to release a digital single under the company’s arrangement.
Although the song wasn’t superb, and his singing skills weren’t excellent, his undeniable handsomeness garnered him a mass of female fans promoting his work, offering various marketing deals to passersby. Alongside the company’s strong support and abundant resources invested in him, within just a year of debut, he became a popular traffic star known among the top-tier.
Even though he’s not yet at the pinnacle, many are optimistic about him.
What he currently needs most is a hit TV series to serve as his signature work. Throughout the past year, he’s frequently undergone professional actor training and guidance, all in preparation for this.
However, finding a great script and role for a traffic star like him isn’t easy.
Firstly, Tang Jierui was a complete amateur with no prior performing experience, which serves as a significant shortcoming.
Yet, his signing agency is quite strong in networking and capital operation to land him a role in a drama.
Secondly, a good script and team are essential.
Although the quality of a script can be judged, producing it into a hit isn’t evidently easy.
This requires an exceptional production team and company.
Currently airing "Green Jade Case" from Fengmang Film and Television Company is undoubtedly a leading production company domestically.
