Entertainment from Divorce

Time slips away quietly in the midst of busyness, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Tan Yue was reviewing the filming clips and progress reports sent by Lin Qingye's production team in the president's office. His fingertips tapped lightly on the keyboard, and he occasionally jotted down key points in his notebook. His expression was focused and meticulous.

The tea on the desk was still steaming warm, and the sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dappled shadows on the desk and dispelling the winter chill.

"Knock, knock, knock—" A crisp and efficient knocking sound rang out.

Tan Yue raised his head and looked toward the doorway.

"Enter."

The office door was gently pushed open, and Chen Ye strode in.

Dressed in a smart black business suit, holding a tablet in her hand, with a mixture of urgency and joy on her face, she quickly walked to Tan Yue's desk and stopped.

"Mr. Tan, are you busy?" Chen Ye nodded slightly, speaking respectfully, and then raised the tablet in his hand.

"Just letting you know, the State Administration of Culture has finished editing the interview video and sent it to me just now so I can have it reviewed by you. As long as you are satisfied with it, they will arrange for it to be released across the entire network, simultaneously on major official media outlets, video platforms, and social media platforms."

Upon hearing this, a smile flashed in Tan Yue's eyes. He put down his pen and leaned forward slightly: "Oh? You finished editing so quickly? Let me take a look."

"Yes, Mr. Tan."

Chen Ye quickly handed the tablet to Tan Yue, adding, "I've already glanced at it beforehand, and the editing is very smooth, without missing any key points."

"Whether it's the content of your and Mr. Chen's answers, the camera transitions, or the quality of the footage, it all fits the tone of an official interview and highlights our company's development achievements and core values."

“Especially the part you mentioned about the new movie only being shown domestically, the editing was very complete, and the tone and expression were well preserved.”

Tan Yue nodded without speaking, then tapped the tablet screen with his fingertip to open the interview video.

The video begins with an exterior view of the Brilliant Entertainment headquarters building, accompanied by a simple and elegant narration that introduces the background and purpose of the interview.

The camera then switched to the conference room, where the host sat in front of the camera with a gentle smile.

The next scene showed Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu walking into the conference room side by side.

The two looked calm and confident, exuding a powerful aura.

Tan Yue watched the video intently, his gaze focused, not missing a single detail.

The video editing was indeed very smooth, with natural camera transitions, clear audio recording, no background noise or stuttering, and soft lighting that made him and Chen Ziyu look very natural on camera.

Every question and every answer from the interview was preserved in its entirety, without any deletions.

In particular, when Chen Ziyu recounted her initial motivation for founding Brilliant Entertainment and the difficulties she faced in the early stages, the emotion and determination in her tone were perfectly conveyed.

When he recounted the measures he had taken to promote the company's development, his views on the film and television industry, and his decision on the new film, he spoke clearly and firmly, and his sincerity was evident in his expression.

As he watched, he mentally compared the video to the original interview, confirming that there were no inappropriate statements, no omissions of important content, and no editing errors.

Especially the parts concerning the company's development history.

The video is about forty minutes long, which is basically the same length as the original interview. There is no excessive redundant content, nor are any key segments missing.

Tan Yue carefully read through the entire document and found no problems. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he handed the tablet to Chen Ye.

“Very good, the editing is excellent, there are no problems at all. Please reply to the State Administration of Culture and tell them that we have no issues on our end and can arrange for it to be released online at any time.”

"Yes, Mr. Tan!"

Upon hearing Tan Yue's approval, Chen Ye smiled with delight and quickly took the tablet, saying respectfully, "I'll contact the State Administration of Culture right now to confirm the release time and ensure the video goes live smoothly."

"In addition, I will also inform the company's publicity department to do a good job in follow-up publicity work, guide netizens to pay attention, and expand the influence of the interview video."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Tan Yue nodded, his tone gentle.

"There's no need to be too deliberate in terms of promotion; just let it happen naturally. The key is to ensure that the video content is accurately conveyed so that more people can understand Brilliant Entertainment's development philosophy and achievements, and also so that fans can see my response."

"Understood, Mr. Tan. I will arrange it." Chen Ye replied respectfully, then added, "By the way, Mr. Tan, the State Administration of Culture said that the release time is set for 3 pm today, and it will be launched simultaneously on official media, as well as major video platforms and social media platforms to ensure a wide coverage."

"Okay, let's go with this time." Tan Yue nodded and waved his hand. "Go ahead and get busy. Report to me immediately if anything comes up."

"Yes, Mr. Tan." Chen Ye nodded again, turned around and walked quickly out of the office, his steps light and brisk.

After Chen Ye left, Tan Yue picked up the filming progress report on the table again and continued to review it.

However, he couldn't help but recall the content of the interview video.

Especially the part where he mentioned that his new movie would only be released domestically.

He knew that once this content was released, it would inevitably spark widespread discussion among netizens and fans, and some people would raise questions.

But Tan Yue does not regret her decision.

He firmly believes that as long as he puts his heart into polishing his work, he will definitely gain everyone's understanding and support.

Time passed by little by little, and before we knew it, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

As agreed, the interview video was released simultaneously on major official media outlets, video platforms, and social media platforms on time.

In no time, almost every netizen could find this interview video.

Initially, many netizens simply clicked on the video casually without having high expectations.

After all, the State Administration of Culture also organized interviews with several other entertainment companies during this period.

After the post was published, it did not attract much attention. The number of comments and reposts was very low. Most of the attention came from industry insiders and a few fans, while ordinary netizens did not show much interest.

But as the video played, more and more netizens were drawn in.

Tan Yue, a well-known director in China, has achieved both critical and commercial success with every film he has directed, winning the love and recognition of audiences and gaining a huge fan base.

Moreover, he has always been low-key and rarely accepts interviews from official media. This interview organized by the State Administration of Culture is itself a highly topical event.

Most netizens clicked on the video to see Tan Yue's recent situation, hear his views on the film and television industry, and his future work plans.

Within just over ten minutes, the interview video's popularity began to soar.

On Douyin (TikTok), the interview clip garnered over a million views and quickly surpassed 100,000 likes, with the comment section flooded with messages from netizens. On Weibo, hashtags such as #TanYueOfficialInterview# and #BrilliantEntertainmentInterviewGoesViral# rapidly climbed to the top of the trending topics, exceeding ten million views and over one hundred thousand discussions in just half an hour.

The discussion among netizens was very enthusiastic.

In stark contrast, the official interview videos from other entertainment companies received very few views after being released, with even fewer comments and shares, and they didn't even make it to the trending topics on any platform, attracting almost no attention.

However, the interview video from Brilliant Entertainment has been gaining momentum and its popularity has continued to soar.

It not only surpassed other previous interview videos, but also exceeded other entertainment topics that were released at the same time, becoming the hottest topic of the day.

The online discussion is getting more and more heated, with netizens leaving comments in the comment section to express their opinions.

"Finally, we got to see Tan Yue's interview! It's been so long since we've seen him in public, and he's still in such great shape!"

"Chen Ziyu is amazing! She single-handedly founded Brilliant Entertainment and built it from a third-rate company to a second-rate international company. She is truly admirable!"

"Tan Yue is absolutely right. The film and television industry should stay true to its original aspirations and focus on crafting high-quality works, rather than pursuing popularity and short-term profits!"

"So it turns out that Brilliant Entertainment was founded by President Chen, and it only developed rapidly after President Tan joined. The two of them work together so well!"

Of course, the most discussed topic was Tan Yue's new film project.

When netizens heard Tan Yue say, "I only have a rough idea right now, and my next movie will only be released in China," they instantly went wild.

The related topic quickly rose to the top of the trending search list.

The article garnered over 30 million views and more than 500,000 discussions in just one hour, becoming the hottest topic online.

Netizens engaged in a heated discussion about this, with most expressing support and anticipation.

"I support Tan Yue's decision! The domestic film market is getting better and better, and focusing on the domestic market is a good thing!"

"I'm so excited! I'll definitely go see Tan Yue's new movie no matter when it's released!"

"Tan Yue's films never disappoint. This time, the film is only being released domestically, which means he's definitely trying to create a work that resonates more with Chinese audiences. I'm looking forward to it!"

"No need to cater to overseas markets, just focus on making the works you want to make—that's Tan Yue's style!"

A few netizens also raised questions.

"Why is it only being shown in China? I really want to see Tan Yue's new movie overseas too!"

"Won't releasing the film only in the country affect Tan Yue's international influence?"

But such doubts were quickly drowned out by voices of support.

"Teacher Tan Yue said that he wants to create works that are more down-to-earth and have emotional resonance, which domestic audiences can better understand and support his choice!"

"Truly high-quality works will be remembered even if they are only released domestically, regardless of whether they are released overseas!"

Major entertainment media outlets also keenly captured this trend, forwarding the interview video and writing related reports.

The number of followers on Brilliant Entertainment's official account is also growing rapidly.

The interview video released on the official Weibo account has been forwarded over one million times and received over five million likes. The comment section is filled with fans who are looking forward to Tan Yue's new movie.

The company's publicity department staff, in accordance with previous arrangements, promptly followed up on public opinion trends, responded to netizens' questions, guided public opinion, and ensured that no negative public opinion arose. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, Tan Yue's fan group had already exploded with excitement.

As soon as Zhuang Bailin saw the news that the interview video had been uploaded, she immediately forwarded it to the core group of Tan Yue's fan club.

Immediately afterwards, the heads of fan clubs in various regions also forwarded the message, and in an instant, all fan groups were in an uproar, with the message flooding the screen so fast that people couldn't keep up with the scrolling.

"Family members! Go check out the official interview! Teacher Tan Yue gave an interview and even mentioned his new movie!"

"I just finished watching it. Teacher Tan Yue said he has an idea for a new movie. Although the script hasn't been finalized yet, the next movie will only be released in China. I'm so excited!"

The moment the message was sent, the group chat was flooded with comments, and the fans' excitement was palpable.

"I saw it! I just saw it on Douyin, Teacher Tan Yue looks so good, so handsome!"

"Finally, news of a new movie! I've been waiting for this day for so long. I almost thought that Teacher Tan Yue wasn't making movies anymore!"

"Waaaaah, I'm so touched! Teacher Tan Yue still remembers us and specially responded to our expectations in the interview!"

"It doesn't matter if it's only released domestically. As long as it's directed by Tan Yue, I will definitely go see it. I'm willing to watch it ten or eight times!"

Seeing the lively atmosphere in the group chat, Zhuang Bailin smiled gently and typed rapidly on the keyboard to send a message.

"Everyone, please calm down. Thank you all for your support and anticipation for Teacher Tan Yue!"

"Teacher Tan Yue has made it clear that he only has a general idea at present. The script has not been finalized and it has not entered the preparation stage. Everyone should just wait patiently for official news."

"Don't believe the rumors on the internet, and don't rush Mr. Tan Yue too much. Give him enough time to polish his work, and I believe he will definitely bring us surprises!"

"Understood! Sister Bai Lin, we will wait patiently and will not rush Teacher Tan Yue!"

"Don't worry, Sister Bai Lin, we trust Teacher Tan Yue. He never lets us down!"

"Yes, Mr. Tan Yue has always been very rigorous in his work. All we can do is support him quietly, and he will naturally let us know when he is ready!"

Afterwards, fans started discussing Tan Yue's previous movies in the group, sharing their favorite works and clips, recalling the emotions brought by each of Tan Yue's movies, and guessing the subject matter of the new movie. The atmosphere was very lively.

Some speculate that the new film will be a realistic drama, because Tan Yue's previous realistic films have received good reviews.

Some speculate that it will be a suspense thriller, since Tan Yue is also very good at handling suspense thrillers.

Some speculate that it will be a work about national sentiment, catering to the needs of domestic audiences and in line with the call of the State Administration of Culture.

The heads of fan clubs in various regions also started discussions in the group to plan subsequent support activities. They planned to organize fans to carry out support activities for Tan Yue's new work after Tan Yue officially announced his new movie.

While looking at the messages in the group, Zhuang Bailin wrote down the fans' expectations and requests, planning to give feedback to the company and Tan Yue later.

Let Tan Yue know that no matter what decision he makes, his fans will always support him. (End of Chapter)
