The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 666 Turning a deaf ear

The concert hall fell silent.

Peter Chan is a director who is brave enough to try new things and constantly break through himself. The opening clip of the movie made the audience scream with excitement.

The dragon emblem flashed by, and Cheng Dongqing, played by Lu Yuan, appeared on the screen.

He was wearing an old-style navy blue suit, his hair was parted in the middle, he wore plastic-framed glasses, and he was hunched over.

At this moment, I was interviewing the US visa officer with trepidation, and was subsequently rejected.

I speak Chinese English with a cowardly, weak, and inferior accent. It's almost as if it's written on my forehead that I'm a country bumpkin.

Then, Meng Xiaojun, played by Huang Xiaoming, appeared on stage and spoke fluent English, which made the audience burst into laughter.

A brave student in the back row spoke up: "Every time Xiao Ming and his junior Lu Yuan film together, it is a whitening experience, and their professional abilities have also improved significantly."

"The leader becomes stronger when facing a strong opponent and weaker when facing a weak opponent. His English pronunciation is pretty accurate this time. He can hit 85 points."

"Pfft, a set of jokes~"

As soon as these three words were spoken, Huang Xiaoming in the front row turned his head to look as if by telepathy.

After Huang Xiaoming it was Tong Dawei. The interview results of the three were different. Meng Xiaojun passed the interview and Wang Yang also passed, but refused to go to the United States.

Only Cheng Dongqing, played by Lu Yuan, was rejected.

Lu Yuan's voice-over appeared on the screen, introducing the past of the three protagonists.

In a moment, the scene changed and Cheng Dongqing appeared again, this time he was completely different from before.

He was much thinner, like a bamboo pole, with neat short hair and a sky blue short-sleeved shirt. He had one hand in his trouser pocket and used the other hand to calmly interact with the audience.

His entire temperament changed drastically, his cowardly air disappeared without a trace, his smile became gentle, his steps were steady and confident, and his every move exuded the aura of a successful CEO.

"Damn, this transition is amazing."

"Yeah, he was rejected miserably just before, but in the blink of an eye, he made a comeback and got promoted. His aura was fully revealed. It was awesome."

"It has to be Lu Yuan. It's a pleasure to watch him act. The few bad movies he made last month almost made me vomit."

"That's right. Lu Yuan's simple appearance is enough for the new actors to learn. The switching between the two identities of student and boss is seamless. This drama is a sure win!"

There were whispers in the audience.

On the screen, Lu Yuan and two other people were surrounded by a group of students and rushed into a stadium that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The stands around were crowded with people.

Lu Yuan stood in the center, clasped his hands together, bowed to everyone around him with a smile, and talked about what dreams are!

In just five minutes of plot, a lot is revealed.

The audience present generally knew the direction of the next plot. A loser from the lower class would counterattack and grow into a domineering president!

Wu Yiran is a student at Tsinghua University. After this summer vacation, she will be entering her junior year.

When I learned that "Chinese Partners" was coming to our school for its premiere, I signed up immediately.

On the big screen, Cheng Dongqing, played by Lu Yuan, appeared again, wearing a vest, kneeling on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, with bulging muscles on his arms.

When she saw this scene, she swallowed and clenched her fists subconsciously.

Wu Yilan has a little secret in her heart. She is a die-hard fan of Lu Yuan, and few people know this secret.

She didn't dare tell too many people, because in the eyes of many people, it was a very stupid thing for college students to chase stars.

Especially since she is a favored student of Tsinghua University.

In the public's impression, what kind of people are filling the entertainment industry?

It is generally believed that these people failed to get into college, lacked basic cultural literacy, and had nowhere else to go, so they entered the entertainment industry to make a living.
Just an actor.

Many young actors do not even have basic historical knowledge and can even confuse the period of the founding of the Party with the period of reform and opening up.

Objectively speaking, there are quite a few such examples.

But in Wu Yilan's opinion, we cannot generalize, and not all actors are like this.

Some actors may not be able to get into a top university.

However, through unremitting efforts, broadening of horizons, accumulation of life experience, and a sharp increase in cultural literacy, he has become very successful in the entertainment industry.

For example, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Lu Yuan, Huang Xiaoming.
The reason why people are human beings is that experience prompts them to grow all the time.

The more things you experience and the more people you meet, the different perspectives you will have on things.

Wu Yilan has always believed that in any industry, people who can reach the top through their own professional abilities have merits that are worth learning from for the public.

Regardless of whether the so-called "business ability" is good or bad, there are always areas for reflection and reference.

If you despise or deny someone just because you know more than them in some aspect, you will only reveal your own ignorance and stupidity.

Chasing stars is actually chasing yourself.

It is to design an ideal life personality for yourself.

In this sense, celebrity idols are more like symbols, representing the direction of life, the success that can be achieved, and the hope of self-realization and perfection.

Usually, what the idol is like determines what the fan base is like.

Wu Yilan's grades dropped for a period of time during high school because she was in a relationship.

The target was a cool-looking boy with dyed blond hair, a handsome face, who drove a motorcycle and took her for rides on the streets at night.

For a young and obedient girl like her, it is extremely attractive.

However, when my father found out about this, he called me and my boyfriend dropped out of school the next day.

She became rebellious and had a big fight with her father. Her father was watching the spy drama "The Disguiser" at the time and used Lu Yuan as an example.

Based on his appearance, after she calmed down, she tried to learn about his past and searched for relevant reports online.

As a result, I got stuck in it.

She discovered what an excellent man should be like, not only in appearance, but also in attitude towards life, thinking, and the ability to withstand stress in adversity.

In comparison, her cool yellow-haired biker boyfriend looks so childish.

So she turned her attention back to her studies, hoping to become excellent, and secretly vowed in her heart that when she looks for a boyfriend in the future, she would look up to Lu Yuan.

Maybe my standards are too high. I’m about to enter my third year of college, but I’m still a single guy.

Lu Yuan was a symbol during her three years of high school.

She draws strength to move forward from such an idealized character symbol, and thus strives to escape and get rid of the unbearable and muddy life with full fighting spirit.

In her senior year of high school, she left a message to Lu Yuan on Weibo, saying that she wanted to apply to Tsinghua University.

Lu Yuan even responded specifically to encourage her, saying that he would let her know after she was admitted to Tsinghua University and that he would give her a gift.

Unexpectedly, after she finished the college entrance examination in 11, she found out that the man of her dreams had officially announced his marriage on May 520th. She was so angry that she unfollowed him and became a dark figure for a while.

I joined seven or eight black groups on Lu, all of them were black fans, and there were more than two thousand people in each group.

Later, I don't know why, because I saw a certain film or TV clip, I suddenly found that Liu Shishi is quite good-looking. She looks really beautiful in ancient costumes, and her fighting scenes are really cool. After getting to know her carefully, I also found that her personality is very nice.

The way they show their love on Weibo from time to time always makes her feel so sweet that she smiles like an auntie.

So he turned back to the right path and corrected his past mistakes.

Return to the peak of true love in one day!

He returned to the fan group again, and with his true fans, he reported all those black fan groups.

Wu Yilan was daydreaming when suddenly there was a commotion at the scene.

"Wow!"

She withdrew her thoughts.

It was Cheng Dongqing, played by Lu Yuan, who, in order to pursue Su Mei, went to visit her after she was diagnosed with tuberculosis. In his excitement, he rudely kissed her.

This shot slowly pulls back, and it is unclear whether it is a borrowed shot or a real shot.

Wu Yilan widened her eyes and checked carefully, but there was no result, so she turned her gaze to the front row where Liu Shishi was sitting.

Liu Xinyu also glanced at her best friend and boss of the agency beside her.

Seeing her frown, I felt a little panicked and felt that the future was uncertain. In the drama "My Love from the Star" which will be aired at the end of the month, there are several real kissing scenes.

Professor Chen is an alien stranded on Earth. She is relatively dull in emotions and not good at expressing herself. Therefore, in the play, she, as the leading female character, will take the initiative many times.

From a woman's perspective, she feels that some scenes in this drama are really quite romantic.

It’s just not clear how Liu Shishi will react after the show airs.

Will she get angry and sever her friendship with her in a fit of rage?

Miss Liu didn't know what she was thinking. She first cast a murderous look at Lu Yuan in the first row before noticing her little movements.

"Why are you watching me if you don't watch the movie?"

"Nothing." Liu Xinyu shook her head. Seeing her staring at him, she made up a story: "Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend is looking at us."

Liu Shishi looked in the direction she pointed and immediately realized that she had been tricked.

The concert hall was pitch black, and it was even darker in the distance. At most, I could see a silhouette. I pinched her in annoyance.

"Didn't you notice? When we were entering the red carpet just now, she was deliberately trying to please you." Liu Xinyuo dodged and covered her waist desperately.

Seeing that she couldn't tickle her, Liu Shishi pouted and said, "She and I are not familiar with each other, and Teacher Lu doesn't allow me to play with her."

"Oh, I see." Liu Xinyu answered casually.

In fact, it’s not just Yang Ying. Many female stars tonight tried to get close to Liu Shishi deliberately.

Liu Xinyu knew it very well. It was probably because "See You Tomorrow" grossed over 5 million yuan in days after its release that stimulated them.

Or to put it more bluntly, it was her sudden appearance, from an unknown third-tier actress to a first-tier actress, that made many actresses in the industry who were hovering around the first-tier completely unable to sit still.

Yang Ying is one of them.

Sitting in the same row with Liu Shishi, near the corner, Yang Ying silently withdrew her gaze.

Liu Xinyu accidentally stumbled upon it, and she did look in the direction of Liu Shishi just now.

As Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend, she should appear at the premiere tonight.

Through Huang Xiaoming's disclosure, she also learned a piece of news.

Billionaire director Wen Muye and his senior from the same school, Cao Baoping, are preparing to shoot a realistic film.

The script was sent back by the General Administration for revision at the end of May, and was approved in early July, with Lu Yuan starring in the lead role.

However, there is a female character with a lot of scenes, but the actor has not been decided yet.

Yang Ying did not ask Huang Xiaoming to help her get a role as his senior brother, because she had tried it before and it was impossible.

Lu Yuan is very persistent and the actor's professional ability is always the first consideration.

And in this regard, the impression she had given to the other party in the past was obviously not up to standard.

But Liu Xinyu's sudden popularity made her realize that Lu Yuan was similar to Huang Xiaoming and was also a soft-eared person, so she still had a way out.

That is to let Liu Shishi whisper in his ears.

In her opinion, Liu Xinyu's promotion was pushed by Liu Shishi behind the scenes.

The idol drama "My Love from the Star" is about to be aired, and Hunan Satellite TV and PPS are promoting it with great fanfare.

She still remembers that when the leading female role for the TV series was first decided, netizens spontaneously made a list of candidates for the female lead of "My Love from the Star".

Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Zhou Xun, Sun Li, Liu Qian, Jing Tian, ​​Yang Mi.
All actresses with some fame in the entertainment industry are on the list.

Fans of actresses judge their idols' popularity based on their idols' voting rate and whether they can work with Lu Yuan.

Fan Binbin's vote count once topped the list, but the final result was unexpected. The role of the female lead was won by an unknown third-tier actress.

After checking, everyone found out that this was a female artist signed by Yuanfang Media many years ago.

This choice was unexpected, but reasonable.

At least in Yang Ying's opinion, if she were in his shoes, she would make the same choice.

Lu Yuan personally acted in the idol drama, obviously intending to create a top-tier actress like Liu Shishi.

A-list actresses can generate tens of millions of dollars in revenue for a company every year.

Why would they choose someone else instead of using people from their own company?
Or resource exchange?
But with Lu Yuan's current influence and capital, apart from a few people with mysterious backgrounds, who in the circle can give him what he wants?
Even if there is, like Jing Tian.

However, Lu Yuan, who has extremely high requirements for business capabilities, obviously would not agree to the other party joining.

Lu Yuan has many identities. He is not only an actor, but also the helmsman of a film and television company.

Since you want to promote a new person, why does it have to be Liu Xinyuo and not someone else?
Sijiu Entertainment can definitely sign a contract with an actress who is more famous and whose acting skills are not inferior to Liu Xinyuo.

For example, Jiang Xin, who became famous with "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and was among the top candidates for the female lead in "My Love from the Star".

There is no doubt that the choice of Liu Xinyu was the result of Liu Shishi's repeated persuasion.

The competition between the two movies "Tiny Times" and "See You Tomorrow" has become clear.

A week later, the box office of "Tiny Times" collapsed due to word of mouth and shoddy content. It is unknown whether it can exceed 500 million.

"See You Tomorrow" has a good reputation and its box office has officially exceeded 500 million.

It also allowed the leading actress Liu Xinyou to make her mark on the big screen. If she takes on another idol drama "My Love from the Star", she will be the most promising female artist in the industry in 2013.

Therefore, Yang Ying has similar ideas to many female artists tonight and follows Liu Shishi's path.

As for business capabilities.

Yang Ying is not sure about other people, but she is full of confidence. After being trained by Tsui Hark in "Detective Dee: Rise of the Mystery Clan", she is no longer the same person as before.

On the big screen, the movie continues.

If we divide the plot of "Chinese Partners" into two halves.

The first half of the film vigorously promotes American culture, as if America is superior, and shows a crazy obsession, as if ordinary people must go to America to live a carefree life and realize the illusory dream of freedom.

The second half is a ruthless exposure of the so-called freedom and equality in the United States.

Meng Xiaojun was born into a scholarly family. After graduation, he went to the United States to study with great ambitions. However, he had a terrible time in the United States and had to come back to live with Cheng Dongqing.

Through Meng Xiaojun's perspective, the lighthouse is not what everyone imagines, and the American dream is shattered.

Cheng Dongqing's girlfriend, Su Mei, a cool girl who likes to wear floral dresses, plastic red sandals, and coarsely knitted sweaters, kissed a foreigner passionately by the lake.

"Fuck, what a piece of shit, leaving such a potential stock behind to lick the foreigners."

"Amazing! This plot actually passed the review?"

"It's unbelievable that after Xiaobei, Lu Yuan was cheated on again." An audience member joked with a smile.

Liu Shishi stretched her neck and glared angrily, blind or not, that was Cheng Dongqing, and I was the real one!
Peter Chan understands his audience very well and knows how to make them happy.

As the plot develops, Cheng Dongqing's career is booming, and his new dream is getting bigger and stronger. By chance, he meets Su Mei, who is already a mother, in a business building.

The other party brought a little foreign boy with him, and his biological father was not seen.

In the elevator, two people went up and down, passing each other. At this moment, the sense of fate was full.

"Director Peter Chan's shot is just amazing. When they looked at each other, Su Mei dodged a little, and Lu Yuan went from being stunned to feeling sad, and then back to being indifferent. It was a textbook-level performance."

"Su Mei deserves it. She is a Westernized person. Now she regrets it."

"Well, young lady, it's not impossible."

At the end of the story, the trio went to the United States for negotiations.

Cheng Dongqing made an impassioned speech at the negotiation table and donated a laboratory in the name of Meng Xiaojun.

"The flowing water takes away the story of time, changing three people, in that sentimental youth when they shed tears for the first time"

After the movie ended, there was no movement in the concert hall, and everyone seemed to be still immersed in the story.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

Scattered applause broke out, and more and more people clapped and praised until it was deafening.

"Beep beep beep!"

Lu Yuan and the others looked at each other, understood what was going on, stood up from the first row and walked onto the stage.
