China Entertainment: Great directors start by winning actresses

Chapter 331 Explosive!

After hanging up the phone, Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Half an hour later, Su Zhe was dressed and ready to leave. Ju Jingwei stood there in a daze, his eyes following Su Zhe's figure, until Su Zhe was about to step out of the door, he woke up from his dream.

"Director Su, are you leaving?" Ju Jingwei asked hesitantly.

"Well, in two days, 'Dreaming of Performing Arts' will officially begin recording. Miss Ju, you can just come and participate." Su Zhe's tone was calm and professional.

The name "Miss Ju" suddenly rang in Ju Jingwei's ears. He shuddered and recalled what happened last night.

At that time, Su Zhe affectionately called her "baby", but now he calls her "Miss Ju" so formally.

"Director Su, don't you want to have breakfast together?" Ju Jingwei tried hard to put a smile on her face, and the quilt slid down, revealing her fair and tender breasts.

But Su Zhe didn't even raise his eyelids.

Glancing at Ju Jingwei, Su Zhe said calmly, "In the next ten years, I will basically not have a girlfriend, let alone get married."

Ju Jingwei felt a chill in his heart.

She still wants to get married.

Su Zhe is certainly an ideal candidate.

Su Zhe left with one sentence before leaving: "Ms. Ju, I believe our friendship can continue regardless of whether you have a boyfriend or are married."

"Of course, it's not a big problem for you to follow me all the time. After all, Tai'a Media is big enough for you to use."

As the number of girls increased, Su Zhe gave up holding and switched to sharing.

"Scumbag." Ju Jingwei cursed inwardly.

But she only dared to curse in her heart.

The entertainment industry, this glamorous stage, is constantly testing everyone in it.

Although simple-minded stars can also make a name for themselves in this circle, like Shuang, who became popular in the entertainment industry with her unique emotional intelligence, such success is often accompanied by a great deal of luck.

Ju Jingwei knew this very well. She didn't believe that she could easily have such luck, so she chose to adapt to the rules and accept various challenges in the industry.

Su Zhe walked out of the hotel and quickly got into his car.

As a heavyweight in the entertainment industry, he naturally has his own driver.

The driver immediately apologized to Su Zhe: "Boss, I'm really sorry that I didn't find the reporter in time last night."

Su Zhe nodded gently, expressing his understanding: "You should be more careful in the future. Although I don't appear in the spotlight as frequently as actors, it is difficult to avoid the sharp sense of smell of reporters once they focus on me."

The driver quickly agreed: "Yes, I will be more careful."

Su Zhe has always been generous in treating his employees, which makes his drivers not want to lose their jobs.

Fortunately, Su Zhe didn’t have this idea.

He guessed that the reporters last night should have been arranged by Ju Jingwei.

He didn't want to keep it at home.

Su Zhe handed the driver a business card with the address of a private club printed on it.

"Go to this address." The driver took the business card, looked at it, and then told Su Zhe: "Boss, you can take a rest in the car first. It is expected to take an hour and a half."

Su Zhe nodded and closed his eyes. He was indeed a little sleepy. The in-depth conversation with Ju Jingwei last night made him feel that Ju Jingwei's fighting ability far exceeded his expectations. This little guy is really sensible!

Fifty minutes later, the driver gently woke Su Zhe up: "Boss, we're here." Su Zhe opened his eyes and woke up.

"You come in with us, we can have a meal inside. I expect the talks will last for a few hours." Su Zhe said to the driver.

The driver didn't hesitate and followed Su Zhe into the private club.

Su Zhe has always been generous in treating his employees. He knows that such thoughtfulness and generosity will win employees' loyalty and hard work. The most important thing is that the driver also works part-time as a bodyguard, and big problems will arise if he is not generous.

Another half an hour later, Su Zhe finally waited for the person he had an appointment with - the host he had prepared for the upcoming "Dreaming in Show Business".

"Teacher Zhou, I grew up watching you host the Spring Festival Gala. Your professionalism and charm have always been my role models." Su Zhe shook hands with Zhou Tao enthusiastically and expressed his respect.

Zhou Tao smiled and responded: "Director Su is too polite. You are too kind."

She first appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage in 1996 and served as the host of the Spring Festival Gala for 2011 consecutive years until 16. She is the female host who has hosted the CCTV Spring Festival Gala the most times to date.

Her hosting style is deeply loved by the audience and she is hailed as "a milestone figure in Chinese variety shows."

"Dreaming in the Entertainment Circle" is a reality-themed variety show that aims to show the true face of the entertainment industry and the artists' dream-chasing journey.

Su Zhe is well aware of the importance of the program and the requirements for the host, so he goes straight for the "national level" selection, hoping to find the most suitable candidate to control the rhythm of the program.

Among many outstanding hosts, Zhou Tao caught Su Zhe's attention with his rich experience and outstanding hosting skills.

"Teacher Zhou, to tell you the truth, it was Director Han who specially recommended you to me." Su Zhe smiled and raised a big flag, cleverly narrowing the distance between himself and Zhou Tao.

Then, he said seriously: "However, this is not just Director Han's recommendation. In my mind, you are indeed one of the best female hosts of CCTV."

Zhou Tao smiled and shook his head, seeming a little helpless about Su Zhe's compliment: "Director Su is trying to feed me with druggy words."

Although she is currently in a semi-retired state at CCTV, her rank within the system is already quite high.

Zhou Tao is indeed still hesitant about whether to try online variety shows.

She needs to see if Su Zhe can convince her and whether this project is really worth her investment.

Su Zhe was well aware of Zhou Tao's concerns, and he began to elaborate on the program concept, goals, and possible social impact of "Dreaming in the Entertainment Circle".

His words were full of passion and confidence, not only demonstrating the professionalism and innovation of the program, but also emphasizing its positive impact on the entertainment industry and society.

Under Su Zhe's eloquent speech, Zhou Tao was gradually convinced.

She saw Su Zhe's passion and dedication to the program, and also felt his seriousness and responsibility towards the program.

Two hours later, the two went from an initial handshake to a final hug.

"I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with Director Su." Zhou Tao said sincerely.

"Of course, I believe we will have a very pleasant cooperation."

Half a month later, the first episode of "Dreaming in the Entertainment Circle" was officially launched, attracting huge attention and discussion.

On the day of the launch, the traffic of Bilibili reached a new peak, and the number of online users broke the historical record. In order to welcome this grand occasion, Bilibili specially scheduled the premiere time of "Dreaming in the Entertainment Circle" at 8 pm.

However, starting from 7: p.m., the first trailer of "Dreaming of Performing Arts" released in advance has aroused enthusiastic response, and its playback volume has doubled in a short period of time.

The trailer was so exciting that it attracted countless people's attention, not just the audience but also people working in the entertainment industry.

Tang Yan was one of them. At the moment, she was leaning closely against Su Zhe, watching the trailer intently.

The trailer dropped a big punch at the very beginning, with thrilling plot, wonderful clips, and an eye-catching guest lineup, all of which make people look forward to the feature film.

Tang Yan rode on little Su Zhe's body and watched with great interest, making sounds of admiration from time to time.

She knew that this show would definitely become one of the most popular variety shows in recent times.

As soon as the trailer of "Dreaming of Show Business" was released, it caused an uproar on the Internet.

Zhou Tao, a senior host of CCTV, actually chose to come down to earth to host an online variety show. This decision itself is amazing enough.

However, her first conversation with Su Zhe triggered a barrage of comments and became the focus of heated discussion among netizens.

"Director Su, are unspoken rules the norm in the entertainment industry?" Zhou Tao's question was direct and sharp, which made people excited.

Su Zhe's answer was even more straightforward: "Of course." These two words were like a bombshell, instantly exploding in the barrage.

Tang Yan sat aside, looked up at Su Zhe, and couldn't help but complain: "What big truth are you talking about?"

Su Zhe chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there are more truths to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second scene of the trailer began.

Zhou Tao turned to another guest - Yang Mi.

As the guest commentator in the first episode, Yang Mi’s appearance also attracted widespread attention from netizens.

Zhou Tao's question was direct and sensitive: "Mi Mi, if you were in a similar situation, and you couldn't get the role if you didn't sleep with the director, and this play was very attractive to you, would you accept the unspoken rules?"

Yang Mi's answer was beyond everyone's expectations. She said without hesitation: "I definitely can't do it with ordinary directors, but if it's a big director like Director Su who has basically reached the top, I can do it. If I sleep with Director Su once, I can get the leading role in his movie. If I refuse, I'm a fool. I can guarantee that 99% of the female stars in the entertainment industry can do it. The only difference is that they dare not admit it."

When the trailer reached this point, comments burst into flames, with people discussing Yang Mi's outspokenness and Su Zhe's "charm".

Tang Yan was also a little confused by this sudden remark. She turned to Su Zhe and said in a surprised tone: "She is so bold. Isn't she afraid of her fans rebelling?"

Su Zhe complained silently in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface: "It's not just Da Mi Mi who dares to steal your girl. I am now Tang Monk's meat in the eyes of female stars. There are too many female stars who want to eat me up."

He responded half-jokingly, trying to ease the tension.

Tangtang looked at Su Zhe with a scrutinizing gaze, as if trying to find some flaws in his face: "Are you happy to hear her say that? I have to help Da Tiantian keep an eye on you."

Su Zhe shrugged, not caring at all: "It's no big deal. Just like what Da Mi Mi said, there are so many female celebrities in the entertainment industry who are attracted to me. I'm used to it."

Tangtang frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied with Su Zhe's frankness: "Are you proud?"

Su Zhe nodded honestly: "There is still a little bit of this."

He paused and added: "But don't worry, I'm a very difficult person!"

Tangtang curled her lips, seemingly dissatisfied with Su Zhe's answer: "Don't look for her anymore in the future, this girl is too scheming!"

Tangtang doesn't seem to like Da Mi Mi.

She paused, and continued, "Mi Mi is a person who won't let you take advantage of her. Do you think she is me, so easily charmed by you?"

Facing Tangtang's questioning, Su Zhe smiled helplessly. He was indeed caught off guard by the "pitfalls" in the trailer.

However, he knows that this is just the tip of the entertainment industry iceberg, and the real scale is much larger than this.

He turned to Tangtang and said seriously, "It's indeed a big deal, but I've already reported it. Besides, I have someone above me, so don't worry."

When Tangtang heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. She didn't expect that Su Zhe could even get the top two in cultural approval on his side.

She couldn't help but admire Su Zhe's courage and skill.

The trailer continued to play, and Zhou Tao's interview reached its climax. She asked Chen Long: "Brother Chen Long, are there any unspoken rules in Hollywood?"

Chen Long laughed and said bluntly: "Hollywood has many more unspoken rules than us. Many Oscar winners are slept with their wives. Don't think the Oscars are sacred."

As soon as this sentence came out, the barrage of comments exploded again, and the screen was filled with “?”, “Fuck”, “Exciting”, and “666”.

Tangtang was also surprised. She didn't expect Chen Long to say this so directly.

She turned to Su Zhe and asked worriedly, "Su Zhe, is this really okay? Will it cause any trouble?"

Su Zhe shook his head calmly and said, "No problem, we are fully prepared.

Moreover, the audience likes to watch this kind of real and appropriate content.

Only in this way can our program stand out and become a real hit.”

Audiences don't come to watch variety shows like "Chasing Dreams in Entertainment Circle" to see truth, goodness and beauty, so of course it has to be as realistic as possible.

The last scene of the trailer was reserved for Teacher Chen, who agreed to let Su Zhe join "Dreaming in the Entertainment Circle".

Although he only appeared for a few seconds, Teacher Chen's face generated enough expectations for the program team.

The trailer, which was only two minutes long, became a hit on the Internet.

It also brought unprecedented popularity to the premiere of "Dreaming in the Entertainment Industry". Even professionals in the entertainment industry were attracted, so you can imagine how much the general audience will be looking forward to it.

Tangtang said with emotion: "Su Zhe, you really know how to have fun. If the main film is not a fake, this show will be a hit."

"Don't worry, I won't put everything in the trailer of the show I produce." Su Zhe said confidently.

They chatted casually for a while, and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. The first episode of the variety show "Dreaming in the Entertainment Circle" was officially launched.

The variety show "Dreaming in the Entertainment Circle" chooses an observation mode, allowing celebrity guests to sit in the observation room and watch the feature film with the audience and then give their own comments or revelations.

Mainly the latter.

So the choice of guests is very important.

Su Zhe thought about it later and decided not to assign any permanent guests to the program team, because he was not sure whether the guests could relax and whether they were suitable.
