Chapter 13- After rebirth, I decided to inherit the family property.
In the evening, Xinghe Entertainment’s official weibo released news that the shooting of Joyous Occasion had come to an end.
The attached picture was the working photo provided by the crew and the final photo released today.
A week had passed since the turmoil of Fang Zhou’s contract termination. The hot headlines in the entertainment industry had long changed, but everyone still kept an eye on that company who had a peculiar style.
As soon as the Weibo post was released, netizens who watched the excitement arrived immediately:
【I’ve never heard of any one of them, from the director to the actors. I thought Ningdong was going to enter the entertainment industry in a big way, but this was it? 】
【Checked that the director has made several niche themes with a good reputation before. It should be his first time trying commercial films. Let’s wait and see. 】
【What is there to look forward to, looking at it, it will definitely flop】
【What are you talking about? Who is the handsome guy in the black shirt in the photo? Very well. I want all his information within three minutes.】
【Oh, so you guys can accept it, now? How superficial. As we all know, making movies is not a beauty contest, and being handsome can’t make you money.】
Well, it’s not a question of whether handsomeness can give you money or not for the time being. Anyway, most people’s eyes were sharp.
The people in the company’s publicity department were not stupid, and they knew who was most suitable to be used to promote Joyus Ocassion at this stage. Most of the selected photos are based on Qin Ke as the center of the composition. In addition, Qin Ke’s original fans took the opportunity to publicize wildly in the comment section. Anyway, Qin Ke’s number of fans had skyrocketed overnight.
When Song Yunran heard the news the next morning, his right hand that was holding the mouse trembled slightly.
He looked at Assistant Tang, who came forward to announce the good news, with a complex mood and thought to himself, could this be the protagonist’s aura? With just a few photos posted by the company, he could attract fans without even buying a hot search?
You know, when he debuted in his previous life, Wancheng Film and Television had been on the hot search for a long period of time only because of a Water Army.
Song Yunran couldn’t say whether he was happy or sad, or if there was some envy mixed into it.
He thought for a while and asked: “How much attention is everyone paying to Joyous Occasion?”
Assistant Tang said regretfully: “It seems that more attention is being paid to Qin Ke…”
At this point, he couldn’t help feeling ashamed of his joy just now. He hadn’t seen the big picture at all.
Song Yunran nodded: “Forget it, the movie has just finished filming, there’s no hurry.”
As soon as his voice fell, Assistant Tang’s cell phone rang.
He pressed to answer, and after understanding the other party’s intention, he covered the microphone: “President Xiao Song, a media company would like to ask you for an interview, saying that they would like to talk to you about the experience of investing in “Joyous Occasion. When would it be convenient for you?”
The surprise came so suddenly that Song Yunran was startled at first, then there was a burst of excitement in his chest.
Has it finally come? The legendary interview with the president.
After his rebirth, he watched a lot of videos of his parents’ previous interviews.The momentum belonging to his parents when sitting in front of the camera and talking eloquently was great, not to mention the prestige.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Ke’s Weibo fans suddenly weren’t worth mentioning.
Song Yunran cherished this rare opportunity, and said quickly: “The sooner the better.”
Assistant Tang: “…”
I have never seen such an active president.
The interview time was set at six o’clock in the evening two days later.
Entertainment Directly on the Spot was an online media company with the theme of live interviews.
Unlike its competitors who only look at the heat of things , they were more inclined to pay attention to some new, but unique, professionals in the industry.
When Xinghe Entertainment and Fang Zhou had a dispute over their contract, they paid attention to this company. This time, seeing that Xinghe actually invested in Joyous Occasion, they became more and more convinced that this company did not take the usual path.
In general, most of the bosses of these kinds of entertainment companies were literary and artistic youths.
In order to avoid showing timidity in front of Xinghe Entertainment, Entertainment Directly on the Spot especially sent the team’s most senior film critic, Shi Lin, and wanted to show a deep collision of souls for the netizens that viewed the live broadcast.
At five thirty, Shi Lin drove to the Film and Television Cultural Industry Park where Xinghe Entertainment was located.
He parked his car outside the company gate and looked up to admire the small three-story building, which was no different from the other company buildings in the park.
”It is obviously relying on Ningdong, yet it’s still able to maintain such a low-key and practical style, Xinghe is really extraordinary.”
Shi Lin expressed his feelings in his heart, and asked the accompanying photographer, “What a fine conscious enterprise; filled with artistic sentiment, don’t you think so?”
The photographer rolled his eyes while carrying a large bag of equipment: “Can we go in quickly, do you know how heavy this is?”
Shi Lin coughed awkwardly a few times and gave up communicating with the photographer.
Forget it, let’s use our energy to communicate with the president of Xinghe Entertainment, surely he would be able to understand his thoughts.
The two walked through the door and explained their intentions to the front desk.
The front desk checked their identities , then smiled and got up to lead them to the third floor.
Several people came to the door of the president’s office.
The front desk knocked on the door: “President Xiao Song, the reporter for the interview is here.”
Prior to coming up, she notified Assistant Tang in advance. Before the people inside could do so, she took the initiative to help open the door for the visitors.
Shi Lin had rich experience in the industry and was ready to smile professionally at this time.
But then, he heard a sentence from inside: “Are they already here? Come on, come on, lend me your glasses, everyone says I have a special aura when I wear glasses! ”
Shi Lin’s smile stiffened for a second:“…”
He must have misheard it.
When they entered the office, Assistant Tang, whose glasses had been snatched by the boss, squinted and greeted them.
He had learned his lesson from previous times and introduced himself: “Hello, I am President Xiao Song’s assistant, my surname is Tang.”
Without the modification of the gold-rimmed glasses, Assistant Tang’s elite aura had been weakened by more than half.
Shi Lin did not have the common misunderstanding, smiled and said hello, then turned to look at the young man sitting behind the desk.
Song Yunran had specially styled himself before going out today.
A dark-colored suit with a silk tie tied into Prince Albert’s knot. His fluffy fringe was slick back with hairspray, revealing a smooth and full forehead, not to mention the gold-rimmed glasses that were just snatched on the bridge of the nose.
At first glance, it seemed he was both calm and sophisticated, yet fashionable and exquisite, and that it would be possible to directly shoot a series of fashion blockbusters immediately .
Shi Lin was immediately amazed by Song Yunran’s appearance. He settled down, and took the initiative to step forward and stretch out his hand: “Hello.”
Song Yunran controlled the expression on his face, and stood up and shook hands with him without a rush: “Hello.”
After a few brief greetings, Shi Lin asked the photographer to set up the camera.
While waiting, he sat on the sofa to confirm the setting of the interview. Considering that the interview was broadcasted live, he thought that he should first explain a few precautions to the interviewee.
As a result, as soon as Shi Lin looked up, he saw Song Yunran saying to the photographer: “Remember to turn the light more to the right. I look better from that angle.”
The photographer tried it suspiciously:“It’s true, I can’t believe you did your research on this. ”
Song Yunran liked to hear others praise him most, and proudly puffed up his chest: “Of course.”
He used to cooperate with many well-known photographers to shoot blockbuster films, so he learned a little through his ears and eyes.
The appreciation in Shi Lin’s eyes became stronger and stronger. Sure enough, he(SYR) really is a tasteful film lover, even in his daily life he valued the skills of lighting and photography so much.
After everything was assembled, the time approached six o’clock.
The two sat on two single sofas prepared in advance, with the bookcase in the president’s office as the background, and it looked quite good.
After the live broadcast signal was connected, Shi Lin immediately introduced them to the camera: “Hello, friends in the live room, this is Entertainment Directly on the Spot, and I am Shi Lin. Today we have Song Yunran, the president of Xinghe Entertainment. President Xiao Song, please say hello to our friends.”
Song Yunran waved his hand skillfully: “Good evening, everyone.”
The live broadcast had just begun and there wasn’t much of an audience.
But even so, when the camera was aimed at Song Yunran, there was a neat barrage of question marks.
Is this the face value that a president should have? Something’s wrong, it must have been that the beauty filter was on.
Everyone looked at Shi Lin next to him while refusing to believe , and then fell into silence one after another. It doesn’t seem to be a beauty filter, after all, Shi Lin is still the same Shi Lin they were familiar with.
Beyond the camera’s view , a computer was showing Shi Lin the barrage. As early as his first glance ofSong Yunran, he had already guessed that the audience would react like this. It seems that today, no matter what, at least the appearance of President Xiao Song would attract traffic, and he could complete this week’s KPI1A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively a company is achieving key business objectives.
Shi Lin nodded in satisfaction, chatted a bit, and then turned to the main topic: “As far as I know, the crew of Joyous Occasion encountered a shortage of funds in the middle of the year. What caused you to decide to send charcoal in the snow?2雪里送炭 (Xuě-lǐ-sòng-tàn) :Send charcoal in a snowstorm means Offer help when help is needed.”
Song Yunran said: ” Of course, it was to make money.”
Song Yunran’s overly frank answer made Shi Lin stunned on the spot. He looked at the seemingly sincere-looking Song Yunran and then at Assistant Tang who was standing behind the camera nodding silently, and found that this was different from what he had expected .
Shouldn’t you be a company that would step forward and talk about emotions?
Shi Lin still didn’t give up: “But I don’t think Joyous Occasion is a movie that will explode at the box office. So in addition to making money, there must be other reasons, right?”
Song Yunran frowned, he had extremely high expectations for today’s interview. Unexpectedly, it didn’t take long for the interview to begin, yet the pace of the interview had already become extraordinarily awkward. But after a little thought, he realized what Shi Lin was talking about.
He shook his head and denied: “There is no other reason. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to want to make money, just like you work to get a salary. Only if a good work gets the reward it deserves will it encourage everyone to make better works to give back to the audience. ”
Shi Lin nodded absentmindedly, and all he thought about was — how did this President Xiao Song continuously think completely differently from what he expected .
Did he prepare all those deep soul collision questions in advance in vain?
He had to urgently ask several follow-up questions and change the subject to another topic .
”In fact, netizens have paid attention to Xinghe Entertainment, much of which was due to the contract termination incident a while ago. I believe that a lot of people have asked about the conflict between you and Fang Zhou…”
Song Yunran explained without a pause: “I have no conflict with him, and no one has come to ask me about this, either.”
“ … Okay. “Shi Lin continued to follow the script,“But I noticed that you mentioned Equation of Love in the recording. At present, it seems that this will be a typical mature commercial film. As an investor in Joyous Occasion, what do you think of it?
Shi Lin no longer expected Song Yunran to present himself as a sentimental representative to criticize the assembly line commercial film. This interview was completely different from what he had imagined, and now he just wanted to complete the interview step by step.
Unexpectedly, Song Yunran was taken aback.
What ideas could he have ah, he just wanted to call on all the investors to withdraw quickly for their own good.
Seeing that he did not speak, Shi Lin had to continue to ask: “Since you said that the Fang Zhou is not suitable for Equation of Love, you must have a certain degree of understanding of it. Just a few words will do, even if it is just a bit of encouragement to your peers.”
Song Yun Ran originally wanted to skip this topic, but when she heard Shi Lin’s words, he suddenly became happy.
Yes, since he was the only person in the world who knew the ending of Equation of Love, even if it couldn’t be too obvious, he could still give a vague reminder!
According to the timeline, the male protagonist of this movie had already cheated on his marriage, and sooner or later he would be exposed. However, he(SYR) could still save the director a little bit.
Song Yunran made up his mind and said aloud: “Then, I wish they could choose a suitable actor, and I wish their director could be a good citizen who abides by laws and regulations.”
As soon as his voice fell, Shi Lin closed his eyes helplessly, and the barrage exploded instantly.
Qin Ke, who had just clicked into the live broadcast room, frowned in front of the screen.
