Become famous another day.
Chapter 704: What does he want this black and red for?
Yang Zhouli and the Shijin Group behind him obviously want to hold a large-scale filmmaker event at the Netherlands-Spain Film Festival to send a signal to the domestic entertainment industry that they will make every effort to develop the cultural and entertainment industry.
For the cultural and entertainment industry, the film and television industry is only a part of it, but it is the most influential part.
Movies are the link that occupies the highest ecological niche.
Lu Yanhe was hesitant about the invitation to this event.
Just as Chen Ziyan said, attending an event can be simply the act of attendance itself, but it can also be what attendance symbolizes.
Do we want to get too close to the Shijin Group?
Xin Zixing returned to Yemai.com, and Yemai.com was acquired by Shijin again——
This incident has invisibly made Lu Yanhe and Shi Jin have a closer connection in the eyes of outsiders.
Of course, there is no way to avoid these layers of connections, but the nature of personal presence is different.
If he goes, will Shang Yongzhou go? Will the couple from Longyan Films go? Will anyone else from the movie "Burning Fire" go?
If they didn't go and he went, what would that mean in the eyes of others?
Lu Yanhe discussed it seriously with Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan said, "Don't agree to anything yet. Just say that I am coordinating your work in Ho Chi Minh City. I will make all the decisions. I will go and find out who will be attending this Shi Jin Night and what Shi Jin wants to do. With your current status, you really can't just show up at such a targeted event casually."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
In early May, the sunlight has a transparent texture, unlike winter when the low temperature gives people the illusion of being furry.
Xin Zixing personally brought the editors of the entertainment section of Yemai.com to Shihuo.
Lu Yanhe was also present.
Xin Zixing is here to discuss cooperation.
To put it simply, the content of this cooperation is that Shihuo's contracted artists will be stationed at Yemai.com to share their "entertainment life", and Yemai.com will provide Shihuo's contracted artists with a certain amount of remuneration. Of course, the most important thing is to tailor-make "literary and artistic projects" for them.
"Before, Zi Yan, you said that we would tailor a re-popularity project for each artist. In addition to their simple sharing, Yemai.com will have a series of art and cultural projects in the future, from museum celebrity explanations and cultural relics stories, to local chronicles in cooperation with local cultural and tourism bureaus, and then back to personal life sharing. There is a lot of room for cooperation with celebrities." Xin Zixing said, "These works have strong social welfare attributes. At the same time, they are high-quality projects that can bring implicit blessings to artists, just like "City Travel Notes."
Chen Ziyan nodded.
“But, generally speaking, the remuneration for projects like this isn’t very high, right?” she laughed.
Xin Zixing nodded.
"But this is also the reason why I want to work with Shihuo." Xin Zixing said, "Maybe other people are short-sighted, but Ziyan, you are not."
Lu Yanhe smiled at Chen Ziyan and said, "Sister Ziyan, you've been taken advantage of."
Xin Zixing looked at Lu Yanhe again.
"At the same time, Yan He, I also want to reach an exclusive cooperation with you." Xin Zixing said.
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
"Me? Didn't I already promise you? You will exclusively follow and report on Jose's entire trip."
Xin Zixing: "This is another framework cooperation I want to talk about."
"Ok?"
"I hope to release information about Linghe's TV series, from the initial preparation stage to all the links in between, on Yemai.com," Xin Zixing said. "This is also another direction that Yemai.com wants to develop, an information platform."
Lu Yanhe: "Like casting, release date?"
"Yes, of course, in addition to this information, we hope to obtain more details through exclusive interviews and other means based on this information." Xin Zixing said, "The premise is that you are all willing to report it. It will be good for the promotion of film and television dramas and for our website."
Lu Yanhe fell into deep thought.
Chen Ziyan asked: "Is it meaningful for you to publish such information? In this Internet age, countless marketing accounts will repost your information the second you post it. How many people will go to Yemai.com to read it? Even if you have supporting and more detailed interview information."
Xin Zixing smiled slightly: "In the Internet age, the focus of information platforms is not on information, but on centralized organization. Today's information is overloaded, and fresh news can be refreshed at any time every day. However, many times, when we see something, we are interested and want to know more related information, but we can only search and query here and there. However, on Yemai.com, such as "Legend of Sword and Fairy", we will classify and mark relevant information, which ones are officially confirmed, which ones are unconfirmed rumors, and which actor has been rumored to be starring. All the information related to him will be sorted out in the corresponding order, which will be very convenient when everyone wants to search. Once this set of things is used, users will naturally develop the habit of searching for relevant information on Yemai.com."
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan seemed to be thinking about something.
Xin Zixiong’s idea is actually quite good.
Not to mention the general public, sometimes they have to spend a long time to look up information about a film or TV series. In this circle, news is true and false, real and fake, and what you get from people on the phone may not be the truth.
With such a timeline and character axis, many things can be compared, and everyone will naturally have a scale in their hearts to judge what the situation is.
Lu Yanhe said: "You can give it a try first, but the current film and television environment may not be so ideal. Sometimes, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. People will deliberately pick on you and set the pace, which will affect the normal filming."
"You provide whatever news you want to release," Xin Zixing said. "The biggest difference between this section and the ones currently on the market is the labeling of information sources. We will try our best to track down every source of information, including which ones are confirmed by the production company, which ones are mentioned in an interview, and which ones are first reported by which person or media. I think this arrangement may be helpful in combating rumors."
"Wouldn't it be a huge workload to track down every source of information? Can you handle it?" Chen Ziyan was skeptical.
"You won't know until you do it. It's useless to say more now," Xin Zixing said, "because there is no comparable product. This is a completely new thing."
Lu Yanhe nodded: "Then let's give it a try first. Let's try it with the projects we are going to start this year."
Xin Zixing: "That's great. If you are willing to cooperate with us, it will make negotiations with other film and television companies easier."
Lu Yanhe: "I'm just curious. If Yemai.com wants to do something like this, it will probably have to invest a lot of manpower and funds in the early stages, right?"
"This is the benefit of having a strong capital transfusion behind you." Xin Zixing said with a smile, "There are now many more things we can do."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Ziyan: "Now that you are back in your old place, you feel more at home."
"My understanding of work started from Yemai.com. My abilities and methodology have grown along with it. I think there may be no place that suits me better than Yemai.com," Xin Zixing said frankly.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Lu Yanhe was also very happy that Xin Zixiong could return to a place where she was so passionate about work.
-
After discussing this area of cooperation, they went to Chen Ziyan’s office together.
I won't talk about business here.
Xin Zixing told them: "The inner veins of the leaves are almost rotten."
"Ok?"
"No wonder Yemai.com agreed to the acquisition so readily." Xin Zixing complained, "It has been losing money for years, and all the projects launched in the past few years have ended in failure. If it is not acquired, it will go bankrupt."
"Ah? Why is it like this?" In Lu Yanhe's impression, Yemai.com itself is a pretty good website. Even if Xin Zixing took his people away, it would not cause serious damage to Yemai.com.
Xin Zixing explained: "Because we have not found a profit model, on the contrary, in order to maintain the main programs such as "Star!" and "City Travel", we have to continue to invest money even if it means losing money. "Star!" alone can lose two million a year."
Lu Yanhe was shocked.
When "Jump Up" was on Yemai.com, I can't say how much profit it made, but it never made Yemai.com lose money.
Xin Zixing: "I'm already looking for the next editor-in-chief for Star!. Once Yu Jiang's contract expires, I will end my cooperation with her. I've actually cut the production cost of the next issue in half. She's very dissatisfied and says the magazine can't continue like this. I wish she wouldn't do it. It's better not to do it now."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"Have you had a conflict with her yet?"
"I didn't have a direct conflict with her. We communicated through my assistant," Xin Zixing said. "She didn't dare to make a big fuss. After all, she knew that Star! would lose money every time it made an episode."
Lu Yanhe asked: "Will you continue to keep the electronic magazine "Star!"?"
"Yes." Xin Zixing nodded. "However, its current positioning is basically the same as Jump Up. I still hope that it has its own uniqueness. I want to combine the two characteristics of an information platform and literature to produce essays and commentary articles. Of course, I will still produce fiction, but it will not be the main type."
"The Shijin Group may not be satisfied with this. Their plan is clearly to expand into the entertainment industry."
"They can do it in other ways, such as cooperating with Jump Up magazine." Xin Zixing said, "My first priority is to make Yemai.com a success. I have discussed the development goals of Yemai.com with them and only took on this job after we reached an agreement."
Chen Ziyan reminded: "If they need you to do this one day, your personal strength will not be able to stop the car, you have to be prepared."
"I will." Xin Zixing nodded. "There's no need for me to go against them. If we can't get along, then we both benefit. If not, then forget it. We can just part ways amicably."
After Xin Zixing finished speaking, she suddenly smiled and took out two festive red invitations from her bag.
Lu Yanhe showed a surprised expression.
"What is this? Are you finally getting married?"
Xin Zixing smiled and nodded, "Huang Kairen and I will get married on August 11th."
Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sure, sure. By that time, The Mist 2 had finished filming and I returned to China."
Lu Yanhe was still worried that he would not be able to catch up because he was still filming.
Xin Zixing said: "Our wedding has not been made public yet, so we won't reveal it to the public for now."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded and made a gesture of zipping up his mouth. "Don't worry, we will definitely keep our mouths shut tightly."
-
As a result, no one expected that that evening, the news that Huang Kairen and Xin Zixing would get married this year was exposed online by a marketing account.
Lu Yanhe’s first reaction was, how come it was exposed today when he and Chen Ziyan received the invitation letter?
It seemed as if it was just the two of them who said it.
Fortunately, the source of the news was quickly found.
It turned out that an employee of the wedding company leaked the news.
Huang Kairen and Xin Zixing immediately became hot searches on Weibo.
Any woman who falls in love with a male star will inevitably be attacked by some female fans.
Especially when it comes to marriage.
Xin Zixing herself is not a pure amateur. From Yemai.com to program producer, and now back to Yemai.com, she has actually appeared in the public eye from time to time over the years. Although she is not a public figure, she is definitely a celebrity.
The more this is the case, the more people will attack you. People cannot be perfect, and if they are not perfect, they will be attacked.
Even some of the behind-the-scenes footage of Xin Zixing and Lu Yanhe filming "City Travel Notes" were magnified infinitely, and it was said that she tried to seduce Lu Yanhe.
These sounds are not mainstream, but they are annoying, just like flies flying around.
Some flies even flew to Lu Yanhe's comment section, hoping that he could come out and respond to Xin Zixing's "flirting behavior" towards him.
When Lu Yanhe saw this, he replied bluntly: "Are you sick? If you have delusions, go get treatment immediately."
The relationship between Xin Zixing and Huang Kairen has always made Lu Yanhe envious and admired.
To some extent, Xin Zixing and Huang Kairen are like Chen Siqi and Lu Yanhe. The patterns between the two people have certain similarities. It is precisely this similarity that makes Lu Yanhe sincerely hope that Xin Zixing and Huang Kairen can be successful and stay together forever.
Lu Yanhe really hates those who deliberately make trouble, especially those who make trouble for no reason and deliberately spread rumors about Xin Zixing.
Huang Kairen and Xin Zixing were both very good people he knew. Therefore, when he saw that there were always some people who were paranoid about attacking them, or one of them, Lu Yanhe even felt more angry than when he saw them attacking him.
Chen Siqi said to Lu Yanhe, "You don't have to be so upset. Don't worry. I know Sister Zixing. She doesn't care about what people on the Internet say. If she is the girlfriend of your male star, she would have broken up with him long ago if she didn't have a big heart."
Lu Yanhe asked: "Do you also receive such news every day?"
"It would be a lie to say that I don't have any, but I basically just watch it for fun." Chen Siqi said frankly, "In fact, sometimes when I see their comments, I feel more... how should I put it, I really want them to focus more attention and energy on their work and life, but every time I think so, I feel that I am shameless, because our work is obviously to grab their attention."
Lu Yanhe: "Ideally, it is of course a rational focus, which is what we want, but in reality, it is not difficult, it is basically impossible to achieve. We can only try to control and adjust it as much as possible. Now I feel that I have done at least one thing very well."
"what's up?"
"Disband the fan club," Lu Yanhe said. "I will not allow any fans to do anything in an official name. My team will not invite fans to participate in any activities. Don't pick me up at the airport, don't cheer for me, and don't brush my data on the Internet."
Chen Siqi smiled helplessly, "You know what? When I heard you say all this just now, my subconscious reaction was that this is what you can do. If a celebrity artist is not popular, they have to do this. Then when they become popular, will they abandon it like a worn-out shoe? This is a paradox."
"It's so complicated." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I can't figure it out."
Chen Siqi: "So let's just leave it at that. Don't analyze these things rationally. We just need to do our part well."
Lu Yanhe: "Is there no crazier reader of "Jump Up"?"
"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded. "But the advantage of Jump Up is that it is not only the top literary magazine, it can even be said to be the only one. There is no competitor. The other magazines that followed suit, none of them can break through 80,000 copies in monthly sales, and they are not even on the same level as Jump Up."
Lu Yanhe: "Well, after Sister Zixing took over "Star!", I think, with her ability, "Star!" may become a competitor to "Jump Up"."
Chen Siqi: "It's great. I really hope that some competitors will emerge. A market without competition will definitely shrink. To be honest, sometimes people say that the market is generated by consumer demand, but sometimes, consumer demand can also be guided, just like "Jump Up" is now for the student group. Its role is to show a poetic literary world."
"Poetic world of literature and art, what is this saying?"
"This is a positioning proposed by our editorial department. Simply put, it is like the two-dimensional world to anime fans. A large number of students do not expect the world to be like the two-dimensional world, but a more poetic and literary world." Chen Siqi said, "To be precise, in the process of reading our magazine, they think that the world ecology presented by this magazine is what they yearn for."
“What kind of world ecology does this magazine present?”
"It's complicated to say, but it can be summed up in a few key words: simple and honest but with spiritual pursuits, love of self-discipline and belief that man can conquer nature." Chen Siqi smiled, "Have you read "Jump Up" in the past six months? The content of the manuscripts we publish, whether it is the protagonist or the style, is close to this aspect, because readers like it. Even a short mystery novel written by Liu Jiazhen two months ago, according to readers' feedback, their favorite part of the novel is that the protagonist is a man who works as a cleaner in a bathhouse after bankruptcy, and his hobby after work is to read in the bookstore opposite the bathhouse."
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
"Liu Jiazhen was stunned. He said he wrote a crime mystery novel, but everyone liked it best because of the detailed character design."
Chen Siqi: "But this is also a trend. A large part of our magazine readers are actively or unconsciously looking for people like themselves. I know this was a common feature of magazines in the past, but the attribute of "Jump Up" is getting stronger and stronger, which makes me a little worried."
Lu Yanhe said: "This will increase the stickiness of core readers, but it will also gradually form a circle and then exclude readers who don't fit in this circle."
"Yes, especially once their circle becomes a physical entity." Chen Siqi slapped herself on the forehead, "I've been worrying about this recently. I don't want 'Jump Up' to become a concentration camp for fans."
worry.
Lu Yanhe came behind Chen Siqi, put his hands on her temples, and gently pressed and kneaded them.
Chen Siqi smiled and said, "It's not like I'm worried now!"
Lu Yanhe: "Same, press it first to relieve it."
Chen Siqi: "What do you want to do by acting like this now?"
"I don't want to do anything." Lu Yanhe chuckled.
-
"Lu Yanhe hasn't given a definite answer yet." The assistant told Yang Zhouli, "Maybe Longyan put pressure on him."
Yang Zhouli shook his head: "Long Yan can't put pressure on Lu Yanhe. This matter is mainly about Chen Ziyan. I will call Chen Ziyan again."
"Mr. Yang, although Lu Yanhe is indeed the most powerful and most promising filmmaker in recent years, if he still refuses to come, should we prepare a backup plan?" asked the assistant.
Yang Zhouli said: "Lu Yanhe must be invited. There is no alternative plan. Shang Yongzhou and Jiang Yuqian should communicate and confirm as soon as possible. If they both confirm that they will attend, Lu Yanhe will be able to relax."
The assistant nodded.
"In fact, if Xin Zixing could invite Lu Yanhe, Lu Yanhe would definitely agree."
Yang Zhouli glanced at his assistant.
The assistant immediately lowered his head, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.
He waited for a while, and seeing that Yang Zhouli had no intention of pursuing the matter, he said, "There is one more thing, Mr. Yang, some of the requests made by Chen Pinhe may exceed the budget by nearly half a million."
Yang Zhouli: "It can be approved."
The assistant wrote it down immediately.
"However, except for actors of Chen Pinhe's level, if other actors want to exceed the budget we give them, forget it," Yang Zhouli said, "Not everyone is worth our concessions."
The assistant nodded.
"Yang Zhouli!" Suddenly, a roar came from behind them.
Yang Zhouli and his assistant looked back in surprise.
Yang Zhoujin appeared behind them with a fierce and angry face. If this moment were to be expressed in a cartoon, Yang Zhoujin's surroundings would definitely be filled with blazing flames.
He suddenly rushed over and raised his fist high.
"You fucking tricked me!"
Yang Zhoujin's angry roar echoed in the corridor.
Yang Zhouli dodged at the moment when Yang Zhoujin's fist was about to hit his face.
After Yang Zhou's force failed, he was carried forward by inertia, staggered two steps, and almost fell.
Yang Zhoujin turned around suddenly and wanted to attack again.
Suddenly, Yang Zhouli rushed to him, grabbed his collar, and pushed him against the wall.
Yang Zhoujin raised his hands in horror, grabbed Yang Zhouli's arm, and tried to push it away.
However, Yang Zhouli grabbed Yang Zhoujin's collar and did not move.
"If you want to be a troublemaker, go find someone else." Yang Zhouli looked at Yang Zhoujin with cold eyes, "If you want to continue to be detained, I don't mind sending you back."
Yang Zhoujin's face was grim, with veins bulging on his forehead: "Who the hell do you think you are? Let me go!"
-
When reading novels, many people often think that the plot is so ridiculous and call the author an idiot.
However, many times - definitely not occasionally, for example, when you see the boss of a well-known company leading people to snatch the official seal, or when you see a partner poisoning someone to vent his anger, you will also sigh that the bloody things in this world are always more bloody, more low-level, and even more stupid than you can imagine.
A good novelist will of course do his best to whitewash the melodrama - note, it is not melodramatic.
A less talented novelist who wants to advance the plot cannot do so at such a high level, so he can only pull it as hard as he can, like pulling a carriage that rattles and seems to be about to fall apart, continuing to run on the muddy road, praying that it will not fall apart midway.
Just like the public relations staff of Shijin Group at this moment.
It was obvious that the matter had died down, and no one was paying attention to the trivial matters between Yang Zhouli and Yang Zhoujin anymore. However, Yang Zhoujin suddenly returned and started a live broadcast, giving away watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and trips to Europe, which attracted a large number of people into the live broadcast room. He excitedly recounted the story of how he had taught Yang Zhouli a lesson today, with a contemptuous tone and arrogance in his words.
All the receding tides roared in with even more hysterical momentum.
Everyone is paying attention to this matter and discussing it.
The other party involved, Yang Zhouli, disappeared, did not appear in any public occasions, and did not accept any interviews.
The clips of Yang Zhoujin's arrogant attitude in the live broadcast room spread across the entire Internet, triggering heated discussions.
Shijin’s stock price also fluctuated accordingly.
When Lu Yanhe saw this scene on his mobile phone, he felt a sense of absurdity deep in his heart.
Too ridiculous to be true.
They act, play characters, and pay attention to the logic of the characters.
However, people like Yang Zhoujin are like a robot with a wrong program, and what they do are beyond people's rational understanding.
It's like a murderer hysterically showing off how sharp the knife in his hand is.
"Maybe Yang Zhouli had his own plans, but Yang Zhoujin's behavior of pushing himself into the fire pit cannot be blamed on Yang Zhouli."
Chen Ziyan was also very surprised about this matter and even made a joke about it.
"Last time in the live broadcast room, Yang Zhoujin attacked Yang Zhouli. You thought Yang Zhouli deliberately provoked him. But this time, it was Yang Zhoujin who was yelling, and he wanted the whole world to know that he beat Yang Zhouli." Lu Yanhe asked, "Do you think it is possible that Yang Zhouli provoked him again this time?"
"Whether Yang Zhoujin was provoked or not, he took the initiative to do the live broadcast," Chen Ziyan said. "But I can't judge whether his behavior is simply mentally retarded or he wants to go the black-and-red route."
"Black and red route?" Lu Yanhe asked, "How can this be black and red?"
"If Yang Zhoujin can prove that Yang Zhouli is a problematic person, it will be much easier to whitewash his behavior," Chen Ziyan said. "But this is all my guess. I don't know their specific situation. Without more information, it's hard to infer."
Lu Yanhe thought about it and wondered if Yang Zhoujin was really planning to discredit others in this way?
The problem is, he is not an artist, why does he need this black and red? -
