Entertainment from Divorce

Monday morning.

After two days of careful preparation over the weekend, the official media interview organized by the State Administration of Culture will be officially held in the conference room of Brilliant Entertainment.

The large conference room on the top floor of the building has been arranged in a simple yet solemn manner, perfectly matching the atmosphere of an official interview.

In the center of the conference room, there were two dark-colored sofas.

In front of the sofa is a small coffee table with two bottles of warm mineral water on it.

Directly opposite the coffee table are professional photography equipment.

The photographer and lighting technician are making final adjustments. The lens is pointed at the sofa, and the light shines softly on the sofa area, ensuring the shooting effect without being too glaring.

The backdrop in the conference room reads "Brilliant Entertainment: Deeply Rooted in Culture, Moving Forward with the Light," with the logo of Brilliant Entertainment displayed next to it.

Below is a line of smaller print: “Joint interview with official media of the State Administration of Culture”.

The overall design is simple and sophisticated, which not only reflects the company's brand image but also highlights the seriousness and authority of this interview.

Chen Ye, along with several administrative staff members, was making final preparations for the interview. They carefully checked the status of the filming and recording equipment, confirmed that the interview outline was in place, and verified the list of reporters present to ensure that no mistakes would occur in any step.

She had a serious expression and hurried steps, frequently giving instructions to the staff around her. Her tone was urgent, yet she remained organized.

"Check the equipment again to ensure the recording is clear and the video is smooth, without any noise or stuttering," Chen Ye instructed the photographer, his gaze fixed on the filming equipment, carefully examining every detail.

"Adjust the lighting to be a little softer to avoid glare and ensure that Mr. Tan and Mr. Chen look natural on camera."

"Don't worry, Assistant Chen, the equipment has been tested and adjusted several times. There won't be any problems," the photographer replied with a smile.

As he spoke, he adjusted the camera again to ensure the perfect angle that could clearly capture Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu's expressions and movements.

Meanwhile, the administrative staff were organizing interview materials, neatly arranging information about Brilliant Entertainment's development achievements, representative works, and artist training results over the years on the reporters' desk for easy access by the reporters.

Everything is proceeding smoothly, with everyone fulfilling their responsibilities and giving their all to ensure the official interview goes well.

Just then, the conference room door was gently pushed open, and Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu walked in side by side.

Tan Yue was dressed in a dark custom-made suit. He stood tall and straight, with a calm expression. He exuded an aura of composure and control. He had a faint smile on his face and his eyes were gentle yet firm.

Chen Ziyu wore a beige business suit, her long hair was neatly tied up, her makeup was light, and her temperament was gentle yet capable. A gentle smile played on her lips, and her every move showed both feminine grace and the decisiveness of an entrepreneur.

How are the preparations going?

Tan Yue walked to the sofa, his gaze sweeping over the room's layout and equipment. He asked in a gentle tone, his eyes landing on Chen Ye with a hint of inquiry.

"President Tan, President Chen, everything is ready." Chen Ye quickly stepped forward.

"The filming and recording equipment has been set up, the interview outlines have been laid out, and the reporters are waiting in the conference room downstairs. In ten minutes, we can guide them over and begin the interviews."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Tan Yue nodded, then sat down on the sofa with Chen Ziyu, gently adjusting his posture to fit the camera angle.

Chen Ziyu picked up a bottle of mineral water from the coffee table, gently unscrewed it, and handed one to Tan Yue, saying in a gentle tone, "Don't be too nervous. Just answer calmly, like we did before."

Tan Yue took the bottled water, smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not nervous. But you, you stayed up all night yesterday to organize your interview ideas and got up early today, you need to be careful."

The two exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with unspoken understanding. The busyness and preparations of the past few days had transformed into composure and confidence.

They all knew that this interview was not only about the image of Brilliant Entertainment, but also about showcasing the company's achievements over the years.

They must seize this opportunity to fully convey Brilliant Entertainment's development story and philosophy to the public.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Ye walked into the conference room and said respectfully, "President Tan, President Chen, the reporters have all arrived. You can guide them in now."

"Okay, let them in." Tan Yue nodded, his expression becoming slightly more composed and calm. Chen Ziyu also adjusted his expression, preparing for the interview.

Soon, Chen Ye led a group of reporters into the conference room.

The host sat in the chair opposite Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu, with a gentle smile on his face. He first greeted the two of them warmly, and then adjusted the microphone.

"Mr. Tan, Mr. Chen, good morning everyone. I am Li Jing, the host from the Culture Channel. Thank you very much for accepting this joint interview with our official media."

"The main purpose of this interview is to introduce the development history of Brilliant Entertainment to the public through our lens, as well as your views and suggestions on the current development of the film and television industry, and also to let more people understand the current development status and original mission of domestic entertainment companies."

Tan Yue nodded slightly: "Hello, host and fellow journalists. It is a great honor to accept this interview. We would also like to thank the State Administration of Culture and all the media friends for their attention and support to Brilliant Entertainment. We are happy to take this opportunity to share the development story of Brilliant Entertainment with you and to discuss the current development path of the film and television industry."

Chen Ziyu smiled gently and added, "Hello everyone, I am Chen Ziyu, the founder of Brilliant Entertainment. Today, I am very happy to be here with you all to talk about the company's development and the future of the film and television industry."

The host nodded, a pleased smile on his face, then picked up the interview outline and officially began the interview.

"First of all, we understand that Brilliant Entertainment was founded by Mr. Chen. It has now developed from a third-rate entertainment company in China to a first-rate entertainment company in China and a second-rate entertainment company internationally. Such a speed of development is very rare in the industry."

"Mr. Chen, could you share with us what your original intention was in founding Brilliant Entertainment? Did you encounter any difficulties in the early stages?"

Upon hearing this question, a hint of emotion flickered in Chen Ziyu's eyes, and her tone softened considerably as she slowly answered. The host listened attentively.

The host then looked at Tan Yue and asked with a smile, "Mr. Tan, we understand that after you joined Brilliant Entertainment, the company experienced rapid development, gradually rising from a third-rate company to a first-rate company in China, and even going international, becoming a second-rate international entertainment company."

"Could you share with us what measures you took after joining the company to drive such rapid development? Also, there are two established top-tier entertainment companies in China. How did Brilliant Entertainment, as a rising star, manage to overtake them?"

Tan Yue picked up the bottled water on the table, took a small sip, put down the glass, and said in a calm and clear tone, "First of all, I am very grateful to Ziyu. It was she who laid the foundation for Brilliant Entertainment. By adhering to her original aspirations and remaining humble yet assertive, she laid the foundation for the company's later development. After joining Brilliant Entertainment, I mainly did three things."

Tan Yue's words were clear and logical, and his tone was firm. Every sentence showed his deep consideration for the company's development, which earned him nods of approval from the reporters present.

Next, the host raised several questions, focusing on Brilliant Entertainment's artist development system, development plans for its film and variety show segments, expansion plans for the international market, and views on the State Administration of Culture's efforts to promote the high-quality development of the domestic film industry.

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu had a clear division of labor and worked together tacitly, answering each question carefully.

The reporters present carefully recorded the two men's answers and occasionally asked follow-up questions.

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu patiently answered all their questions.

The entire interview process was conducted in a harmonious yet rigorous atmosphere.

Before we knew it, more than half an hour had passed, and the interview was gradually coming to an end.

The host looked at the interview outline in his hand, a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Tan, Mr. Chen, thank you very much for your wonderful sharing. It has given us a deeper understanding of the development history of Brilliant Entertainment and the development of the domestic film and television industry."

"Finally, on behalf of our fans, we would like to ask Mr. Tan a question."

"Recently, many fans have been asking if you have any plans to film any new works. Everyone is very much looking forward to your new movie. I wonder if Mr. Tan could give the fans a response?"

Upon hearing this question, Tan Yue smiled gently and said to the camera, "First of all, I am very grateful to all the fans for their love and expectations. You have been silently supporting me and Brilliant Entertainment for so long. I will always remember this kindness."

"Regarding my new project, I only have a general idea at the moment. The script hasn't been finalized yet, and we haven't entered the preparation stage. However, I can tell you that my next film will have a small adjustment—it will only be released in China."

Upon hearing this, the reporters present were slightly taken aback, and then they all picked up their pens and quickly took notes, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Tan Yue continued, "Making this decision was the result of careful consideration."

"Today, the potential of the domestic film market is growing, and the aesthetic standards of the audience are also constantly improving."

"I want to calm down and polish a work that is more down-to-earth, more emotionally resonant, and better able to convey Chinese culture and social warmth, so as to truly meet the spiritual and cultural needs of domestic audiences and also meet the call of the State Administration of Culture to promote the high-quality development of the domestic film industry."

"Therefore, for my next film, I will focus on the domestic market, carefully polish the script, and meticulously film it. I will not rush into it, but strive to make a work that can move the audience and stand the test of time, so as not to disappoint the expectations of my fans or my original creative intentions."

The host smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Tan, for your sincere response. I'm sure the fans will be very excited to hear this news. We also hope that Mr. Tan can polish the script soon and release a new work that lives up to the fans' expectations."

"Thank you, host. I definitely will." Tan Yue nodded, a gentle smile on her face.

"Alright, fellow journalists, this concludes today's joint interview with official media. Thank you again to Mr. Tan and Mr. Chen for accepting our interview, and thank you to all the journalists for your participation."

The host stood up and spoke gently to Tan Yue, Chen Ziyu, and the reporters present.

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu also stood up, nodded slightly to the host and reporters, and showed gentle smiles on their faces.

"Thank you to all the journalists for your attention and support, and thank you to the State Administration of Culture for giving us this opportunity to showcase our work."

After the interviews, the reporters packed up their equipment and materials and left the conference room in an orderly manner.

Following the pre-arranged procedure, Chen Ye proactively stepped forward and warmly guided the reporters downstairs, arranging vehicles to take them away. His attentive and meticulous approach throughout demonstrated the professionalism of Brilliant Entertainment.

The meeting room gradually quieted down, leaving only Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu.

The filming equipment had been temporarily removed by the staff, leaving only a few sofas and coffee tables. Sunlight streamed through the conference room windows, warming the two of them and dispelling some of the winter chill.

Chen Ziyu turned around, looked at Tan Yue, a gentle smile on her face, and her tone was somewhat teasing.

"Why did you reveal your idea of ​​making a new movie so easily? It's just a rough idea right now. What if there are changes later? Wouldn't that disappoint the fans?"

Tan Yue couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Chen Ziyu's teasing expression. He said, "Recently, many fans have been leaving me messages and sending me private messages, repeatedly asking about the new movie. Their tone is full of eagerness and anticipation. Some fans are even worried that I will stop making movies."

“I am very touched and also feel sorry for these fans. They have always supported me and Brilliant Entertainment silently. I don’t want them to keep waiting and hoping, and I don’t want them to have any wild thoughts.”

"So, I'll take this opportunity during the interview to let everyone know that I have a new movie idea, to reassure them and give them something to look forward to."

After listening to Tan Yue's words, the teasing on Chen Ziyu's face gradually faded, replaced by gentleness and understanding.

From a fan's perspective, she is very happy to have such an idol.

After a brief moment of relaxation, the two composed themselves and returned to work.

Tan Yue glanced at the time and said calmly, "It's getting late, we should go back to our respective offices and continue our work."

"Okay." Chen Ziyu nodded.

The two then walked out of the conference room side by side and returned to their respective offices to begin their work. (End of Chapter)
