Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 240 On-site work, the counterattack begins

Lu Kuan knocked on the half-open door.

Perhaps it was because she was different from Liu Xiaoli’s habit of pushing the door open directly, Liu Yifei noticed something and turned around suddenly.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds without saying anything.

A faint joy visible to the naked eye, like fine cracks in the glaze.

In an instant, it covered Concubine Liu Yi's entire face.

"Where...where have you been?"

Seeing that she had no difficulty in getting dressed, Lu Kuan walked in casually and sat down on the bed.

"I went to Jiangsu Province and flew to the United States."

"Just got off the plane, so tired."

Boss Lu leaned back and fell straight onto the bed in the girl's boudoir.

In four days, he traveled back and forth between China and the United States in order to plan the attack strategy against Xinlang and the subsequent counterattack plan.

The phone has been in airplane mode for a long time and I'm almost sitting stiff.

All the sadness that Concubine Liu Yi had felt before seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and she walked over angrily and pulled his arm.

"Hurry up and get up! You're so dirty! Don't sleep in my bed!"

"Lie down on the ground!"

Lu Kuan let her drag him without moving, smelling the fresh scent of the sheets and resting his head with one hand.

"I heard that you've been teased by crickets these days?"

"Cricket" is a Northeastern dialect, but it later became an Internet slang.

In his mouth, a devastating disaster and online violence seemed as simple as a few gossips behind someone's back, which made the worried Concubine Liu Yi feel a little relieved.

This gave her a psychological hint: it seemed that this matter was not that big of a deal and he could handle it.

"Yeah, but I don't care what they say."

I'm just afraid that because of these you...

"You're too weak. You've been with me for two or three years for nothing. How can you curse back at them?"

Concubine Liu Yi was upset: "I..."

Lu Kuan suddenly sat up, dragged her chair away and sat in front of the computer: "Come, let me see who scolded you."

"Fuck them! They're affecting my ability to make money. I won't let any of them off."

"We're working on-site today."

Liu Yifei quickly moved to cover her computer. "Don't read it. It's all... so ugly."

In the past three or four days, apart from the "Three Sins" written by the big-mouthed monster Song Zhude, which was like a manifesto, all kinds of monsters and demons have appeared.

It's like he wants to dig her out from the womb and force her to tell him everything.

With Huayi taking the lead, other domestic entertainment companies are taking advantage of the situation, which is also expected.

That’s the nature of the entertainment industry.

But in the end, it all comes down to who has the loudest voice and the harder fist.

Boss Lu pushed her away with his hand and went straight onto Xinlang.

This place has become the base camp for those who want to overthrow Liu. There is no need to look for it specifically, the negative information will come to you.

The content of Jiang Yiyan's blog highlights a revelation, about Liu Yifei not attending classes, being rude to Professor Gu, an old senior at the school, and liking to curry favor with big directors, etc.

"Wow, why is Jiang Yiyan the first one here? Do you have a grudge against her?"

"No."

Concubine Liu Yi had a cold expression.

It’s all because of that day at KTV, because you’re a washing machine.

Lu Kuan thought about it and called Yu Dong.

When Fatty Yu was on "The Drummer", he could still sit on equal footing with Boss Lu, talking about brotherhood and building friendship.

It’s just that Yu Dong’s rise in the industry has been too fast in the past two years. After “Alien Land”, he is no longer a big shot. It’s considered good enough for him to be able to invite Lu Kuan to dinner.

Fatty Yu picked up the phone excitedly: "Boss Lu, give me your orders!"

"Oh no! What are you talking about? He is the only one who can give orders or not."

Boss Lu crossed his legs and winked at Liu Yifei who was staring at him. The latter smiled, knowing that he was going to start to torment her again.

"Hey, let me ask around. There's a girl named Jiang Yiyan in the 02 class of the Beijing Film Academy. Did she film a movie called Summer this year? Could you help me find out?"

"Oh, it's called 'Summer with You'. It hasn't started filming yet, and they came to me to get investment. I've seen that girl before."

"Mr. Lu, what's this? Hey, I'm familiar with Director Lao Xie, how about that?"

Fatty Yu didn't change his bad habits and started thinking about sexual bribery on the phone.

Last time he was pretending to be a gentleman, but didn’t he sign that little girl from northern Xinjiang later?
Hypocrite! A real pervert!
Boss Lu looked at Liu Yifei, whose face changed slightly, and covered the microphone tightly: "Ahem, what are you talking about!"

"Well, talk to Director Xie and ask her to replace the actor. Focus Media can give him some free advertising."

Yu Dong was stunned for a few seconds, thinking of the recent turmoil, and thought that this was a way for people to vent their anger, so he smiled and agreed.

The director of "Summer" is Xie Dongshen. The reason why Lu Kuan was impressed by this movie was because this person later filmed "Psychological Crime" and produced the "Tiny Times" series.

He should be a member of the Directors Guild now, and Boss Lu is even the vice president!

Concubine Liu Yi hesitated and said, "Isn't this a bad idea? Actually, she didn't say anything excessive..."

Boss Lu said sternly, "I'm telling you, don't be a saint. Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself."

"It doesn't matter if she's smearing you, but do you know how many fewer downloads that ringtone you recorded for me would have? Or how many fewer votes would have been cast in the Super Girl finals?"

"Anything that affects my ability to make money must be dealt with immediately."

The mastermind behind the entertainment industry continued to browse the Xinlang blog.

"Zhang Ziyi? How did she end up like this?"

Concubine Liu Yi looked a little unhappy.

The same words have different impact when spoken by different people.

Zhang Ziyi is the second internationally famous and recognizable big screen actress after Gong Li, and is also ranked first among the Four Little Flowers.

What Boss Lu saw was not her blog, but a simple interview with a reporter, in which she vaguely hinted at the secret behind Liu Yifei's replacement of the female lead in "Foreign Land".

In short, it implies that she has an affair with the director!
I wanted to get the color but failed, so I'm jealous of others.

Boss Lu was furious. When you are falsely accused of doing something bad, you'd better actually do it.

But I really didn’t do it!
Come to think of it, it shouldn’t be a crime, right?

The call was to Harvey.

"Lu! Have you just arrived in China? How about the Venezuelan beauty I prepared for you this time? Haha!"

Venezuela is a South American country that produces many beauties. Its beauty pageant culture is extremely crazy, and a large number of them have entered the United States to work in the tertiary industry.

Lu Kuan's face turned dark, and Xiao Liu's face turned even darker.

Boss Lu quickly interrupted his flirtatious chat and said, "Please contact Spielberg for me. You have a good relationship with him. Ask him to warn Zhang Ziyi and clarify the content of his recent interview."

"What do you mean?"

"Literally, Zhang Ziyi will understand."

Zhang Ziyi is currently filming "Memoirs of a Geisha" in North America, with Spielberg as the producer, and Harvey's influence on the Oscars is of great significance to these directors.

This is the hidden politics of Hollywood.

Concubine Liu Yi didn't plead for Zhang Ziyi this time: "Lu Kuan, what kind of friends do you have? They are all like dogs with no ivory in their mouths."

Boss Lu sighed, "Well, I'm the one who has emerged from the muddy waters and is untainted. None of these people are good people."

"Tsk, you're the worst!"

"How can you talk like that, Sissi!"

Liu Xiaoli pushed the door open and walked in. In fact, she had been eavesdropping outside for a long time.

Afraid...

"Xiaolu, Auntie made some food for you. You just got off the plane, why not go and have a bite?"

Liu Xiaoli brought another bowl of washed fruit and placed it on the table, watching him work on the spot with a smile on her face.

It’s so refreshing!

The old mother looked around and didn't feel anything was wrong. She chattered for a while and then left.

It's not closed.

Jiang Yiyan, Zhang Ziyi, and some supporting actors and extras in the previous "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "Chinese Paladin" were bribed by Huayi to frame and falsely accuse others.

Boss Lu dealt with the top tigers one by one, and let the flies go. He just blocked their accounts on the blog.

As for Xinlang, it will only take a month or two, waiting for them to call me daddy.

In fact, the most important thing is to capture the bridgehead Song Zude, and he has arranged Zhong Lifang to do this.

This is not just a matter of verbal battle.

"Fuck, this Song Zude is really good. He even found the record of your sex change operation in the United States when you were twelve years old!"

Lu Kuan looked at the big-mouthed monster with a smile and tears as he announced the latest evidence he had discovered: a surgical record issued by a private clinic in New York, USA.

"And they said you don't like wearing skirts in the summer because of high levels of testosterone, which causes your leg hair to grow?"

"Pfft hahaha!"

Damn, Song Zude is such a talented person.

Boss Lu left a message under the blog post with great interest:

"Bullshit! Concubine Liu Yi obviously doesn't wear skirts because her legs are too thick."

Xiao Liu watched him with shame and anger as he cursed Song Zude and became the second Song Zude. He turned around, picked up the pillow from the bed and smashed it!
"To make you laugh! To make you laugh!"

She was completely unaware that the so-called black material that had made her sad and depressed in the past few days seemed to have turned into dust and disappeared at this moment.

The little girl was quite strong. No matter how soft the pillow was, her head still made a buzzing sound from the impact.

"Surrender! Surrender!"

"We're even!"

Concubine Liu Yi quarreled with him for a while, her pretty face flushed: "What do you mean by even? It's you who has been insulting me all along, okay?"

"I'm insulting you? Then what does your ID mean?"

Lu Kuan pointed at the [Zha Lu Ji] on the screen and said, "Come on, explain it to me."

"Hey, it's nothing, just picked it up casually."

Concubine Liu Yi stuck out her tongue and put down the pillow in her hand, feeling a little embarrassed as if she had been caught doing something bad.

He must not read the comment record!

All of them are slandering him!
"Come on, Ah Fei is here, I have to go."

Concubine Liu Yi hadn't spent enough time with him yet, so she blurted out, "So early?"

"What? You want me to stay overnight? I wasn't even allowed to sleep in the bed just now."

Liu Yifei was quirky: "Well...if you want to stay, you can sleep in the RV outside. I think it's very comfortable too."

"No, thanks."

RVs are for shaking, not for sleeping!

Liu Xiaoli and her daughter saw him out, and then Liu Xiaoli turned back and urged her daughter to pack her luggage.

"What are you packing for? Are you going to Jiuzhaigou to join the crew? Isn't there still a week left?"

"Tomorrow I'll go through the paperwork to visit your father in Paris."

"what?"

Liu Xiaoli thought of the phone call her ex-husband had just made to her, and she felt a sense of relief, as if the clouds had finally parted and the moon was finally visible: "Goodbye, hurry up!"

"Oh!"

If we say that an hour ago, Liu Yifei was like an envelope without an address, not knowing where to go;
Just now, watching the man vent his anger for her, she felt like she had fallen into a honey pot.

Don't tell her that Lu Kuan is clearing obstacles so that you can continue to make money for him.

I, Xiao Liu, don’t admit it.

I think he just feels sorry for me!
Liu Yifei returned to her room and took a good bath. Looking at her radiant self in the mirror, she turned off the lights and went to bed with satisfaction.

She suddenly felt that there should be some music at this moment, so she walked barefoot to the table again.

He skillfully pressed the button on his Walkman to play Jay Chou's new album "Qilixiang" which he had sent to a few friends.

The theme song that I hadn't finished listening to because of the sadness a few days ago continued to play melodiously in the room.

All night under the rain, my love overflows like rain
The fallen leaves in the yard are thick with my thoughts

A few words of right and wrong can't cool down my enthusiasm

You appear on every page of my poetry...

She lay down on the place where Lu Kuan had just lain, and used her white scallion-like fingers to stroke the sheets that were wrinkled by him. She fell asleep without knowing when.

Leo Tolstoy wrote in War and Peace:

The higher a person's social status, the more people he is connected to and the greater his power over others.

The more he acts, the more evident is the destiny and inevitability of his every action.

The massive amount of negative information Zhou Jun and Hua Yi spread about Liu Yifei did not affect Lu Kuan, so he was not able to use the titles of Vice President of the Directors Association, Executive Committee Member of the China Democratic League in Peking, and Senior Consultant of Radio, Film and Television.

Even Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Zhiqiang and others who have always been good friends and have influence in the industry are powerless.

They are targeting an actress who has nothing to do with the industry. What does it have to do with you?

However, according to Tolstoy's judgment, with Boss Lu's current social status, he is already able to stir up trouble without making a fuss.

Just like the on-site office work in Liu Yifei's bedroom last night.

After being heavily fined 100 million yuan, order on Blog.com was restored as expected, and the work of rectifying the chaos is also proceeding smoothly.

Although Xinlang has reaped a huge wave of benefits in the past three days, the center of public opinion on the entire Internet at this time is undoubtedly still on Blog.com.

The support and affirmation from top stars such as Anita Mui, Jay Chou, Gong Li, and even foreign celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio have greatly reduced the momentum of the negative news.

Then the official Weibo account of Beijing Film Academy listed Liu Yifei as an outstanding student of Class 02 in the admission brochure, expressing the school's recognition and endorsement of her.

This long-planned cyberbullying campaign has reached a low point.

But for Huayi and Zhou Jun, they won the victory without bloodshed!
Despite her status as the "domestic box office champion heroine", Liu Yifei has been attacked by negative news, and her economic value and fan growth have slowed down.

This can be seen from the recent download volume of her ringtones and the public opinion environment.

And what about the “freshly baked” Jang Nara?

Ambassador for Cultural Exchange between China and South Korea;

The female lead in Xu Ke's latest martial arts action blockbuster "Seven Swords";
The female lead in the film "Silver Years", a tribute to the 55th anniversary of the founding of Beijing Film Academy;
The Hunan-Taiwan friendly cooperation artist is said to be a judge in the finals of a music program modeled after "Super Girl" to be launched by Hunan and Taiwan next year.

Currently, her fans on Xinlang and Blog.com have exceeded 300 million.

If this trend continues, within a year, the position of "the most powerful concubine" in the domestic entertainment industry will be filled by another person, and it will be a foreigner.

Seeing that the spread of the negative news had slowed down, Zhou Jun instructed Wang Xiaolei to continue handing the knife to Song Zude.

Wang Xiaolei naturally would not take action personally, so he asked a vice president of the company's business line to handle the matter specifically.

In the end, when the accident happened, he was just a temporary worker.

Song Zude said awkwardly over the phone, "Liu Xiaoli posted a long article on her blog, posting photos of her daughter from childhood to adulthood."

"And their neighbors, both in Wuhan and later in Long Island, New York, have come out for interviews. This sex change claim... is really untenable, isn't it?"

Huayi's vice president imitated Zhou Jun's thinking and taught him: "It takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them. Are you the one who loses, or is she? Are you the one who is tired, or is she?"

"How can transgenderism be untenable? Aren't there still ignorant people asking questions under her blog?"

"If you do this, get some more pictures and medical records of promiscuity and abortion, and do it quickly. Don't let this fire be extinguished!"

Song Zude was angry but dared not say anything. If this news were to get out, it would be a fight to the death.

But with Huayi's obvious temptation in front of him, he had no choice but to take a gamble. At least Xinlang had strong support.

Who cares? I’ve been cursing the entertainment industry for so long and nothing’s wrong with it, so there should be no problem this time.

Damn it!
Song Zude encouraged himself and was full of confidence, but less than an hour later he was "shocked to hear the bad news"!
On the fifth day of the National Day holiday, Wenjie and Travel Channel’s official Weibo published a notice:

The cultural promotion event "Hanfu Gathering" co-organized by our station (our company) and the Chinese Embassy in France will officially begin at 10 pm the day after tomorrow (October 7), which is 8 pm local time in Paris.

Location: Rodin Museum, Paris, France
Event organizers: Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, Art Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Embassy of the People's Republic of China in France, Ministry of Foreign Languages ​​and Culture, Wenjie Culture Media Co., Ltd.

Event co-organizer: Liu Yifei Studio

At that time, Travel Satellite TV and CCTV-3 Variety Channel will broadcast the event live, and Blog.com and Douban will broadcast the event simultaneously with pictures and texts. Please stay tuned.

Blog.com has returned as the king and is pushing traffic hard. Coupled with the announcements from CCTV and Travel TV, whose ratings are currently second only to Hunan TV, the news instantly swept the country!

What kind of magical organizer is this?
The Radio and Television Department of high-ranking officials, the Embassy in France at the vice-ministerial level, and the Art Department at the director-general level can be said to be the current high-level counterpart units for the country's foreign cultural propaganda!

This was the result of Lu Kuan utilizing his connections in radio and television, combined with Ankang himself and his family's power to communicate.

What the organization recognized and was most reassured about was, after all, what Boss Lu did in "Foreign Land": he listened to both the sound of his wallet and the sound of his books.

This cultural exchange activity in the name of Hanfu is a beneficial attempt.

Within just half a day, the official blog of Wenjie and Liu Yifei's blog became busy again!
Fans rushed to tell each other, and it seemed as if the celebrations were only beginning in the last two days of National Day.

This is the first time that Liu Yifei has encountered cyber violence in her life, and so have these fans!
Now that we have official endorsement, how can we swallow this anger?
Go fight hard!
What the hell is that Big Mouth Monster, Jang Nara, and you, Xinlang, who is taking sides, right?

Don’t leave any one behind, spray them all!

Fans who have a little insight know that it is Huayi, the company behind Jang Nara, who is behind this, and Huayi’s official blog has been completely destroyed!

The fans' fury only subsided after Liu Yifei posted a photo of herself in Paris on her blog.

Blog post: No matter how dark the clouds are, they cannot block the warm sunshine. Hello Paris!

PS: See you on CCTV-10 and Travel Channel at 7 pm Beijing time on October 8th!
The photos are very beautiful because they were taken by the Golden Lion Award-winning director Zi Lu himself.

In Paris, France, Liu Yifei looked at several photos in her digital camera in amazement, switching back and forth, unable to let go.

"Lu Kuan, you're such a great photographer! This composition, this..."

Xiao Liu was a little at a loss for words because she really didn't know how to praise him as she didn't have that much professional knowledge of photography.

Ankang and Liu Xiaoli looked at each other and smiled: "He is an internationally renowned director. Taking a photo is easy for him. You are surprised by what you have seen."

Boss Lu also sneered in his heart. With my photography skills, even Lao Pi, the photographer Chen who licked my heels, is not worthy of me.

If he wants Gillian Chung and Bai Zhi to be his models, then he shouldn't go beyond the scope of ordinary eroticism and directly rise to the aesthetic realm of eroticism without being obscene, right?

Boss Lu was a little distracted by the thought...

"Hey! I'm talking to you!"

Concubine Liu Yi looked at him with dissatisfaction, her face full of peach blossoms, and it was obvious that she didn't mean anything good!

Lu Kuan resolved the awkwardness and looked at his watch: "It's almost time, shall we go to the set?"

Today we have to rush to shoot a promotional video for Liu Yifei wearing Hanfu as the opening for the cultural exchange program on the 7th.

The video lasts half an hour and the content is very simple. She wears Hanfu and recites an article in front of several landmark buildings in Paris.

This article is called "A Quiet Sing for Hanfu" and was posted on Hanwang in 2003 by a netizen named "Tianya Zai Xiaolou".

Later, it spread to Tianya, Maopu, Blog.com and other places, causing a sensation for a while.

It took me more than two days to visit the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, Luxembourg Gardens and other places wearing more than a dozen sets of Hanfu.

Boss Lu personally took the helm and borrowed a filming team from Luc Besson's film company just to shoot a promotional video for Liu Yifei.

It is the best of the best.

Boss Lu naturally took two steps at a time. He had already helped Dongzi find "Tianya Zai Xiaolou", who later became a representative figure of the Hanfu movement and had a certain influence.

With her assistance, several factories were arranged to prepare materials and goods according to the style that Liu Yifei would be wearing today, ready to harvest a wave of Hanfu fans brought by Xiao Liu.

Jie Jie Jie. . .

Do you think I will be the promotional video director for you, Liu Yifei, for free?
It would be better to say that you, Liu Yifei, can be my product model for free.

You may make a lot of money, but I, Boss Lu, never lose money.

Liu Yifei is also somewhat well-known in France. Many Chinese and international students recognized her as Lan Yue, the heroine in "Foreign Land" at a glance.

The movie has been released in Europe for less than two months, and the posters in many places haven’t been taken down yet!
From the first day of filming, the stills of Liu Yifei in Hanfu that occasionally leaked from the blogs of overseas students in Paris, France, quickly became popular.

"Wow! This really is a fairy sister!"

"Haha, didn't someone just ridicule Concubine Liu Yi as a celestial fairy? Now you guys are right. She really has become a celestial fairy."

"Jang Nara, get out of here! You came to China to promote Korean culture, and Liu Yifei went to France to promote Chinese culture. The difference is obvious!"

The official traffic promotion, data calculation and regular water army of Blog.com are at the top level in the industry. Before the arrival of the "Hanfu Gathering" on October 10, a new climax was set off on the entire network.

At Huayi headquarters, Zhou Jun and two other people were smoking in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the office.

Wang Xiaolei sighed and said, "Brother Jun is right. Blog.com and Lukuan are in cahoots. Once the block is lifted, we won't be able to stop their voices."

"And Travel TV, they started rerunning 'Chinese Paladin' the very first day Blog.com was blocked, and the ratings are still so high!"

Zhou Jun put out his cigarette. "The key to Travel Channel rebroadcasting 'Chinese Paladin' is that it gives Concubine Liu Yi a place to appear and gather with her fans, preventing our offensive from penetrating the terminals."

"These two weapons of his are too powerful. As long as you can't kill him with one blow, he will have endless channels to speak out and clear his name."

“There’s simply no solution.”

Wang Dajun slapped his thigh and encouraged everyone: "No matter what, we still gained something this time. At least Nora's popularity has increased greatly, and there is great potential for future development."

Zhou Jun nodded: "It's easier for a foreigner to chant sutras. Nara's biggest advantage is her nationality."

"What do ordinary people like to watch the most? Watching foreigners speak Chinese and praising China. You need to explain this to Nora clearly."

"Why not just speak Chinese wherever you go? It's a great way to win people's favor."

It's quite ironic.

A Korean comes to China and shows some goodwill, and then he can make a fortune. However, Liu Yifei, a Korean from China, was labeled by Song Zude as a guide for Hollywood movies.

Wang Dajun seemed to recall something: "Boss Zhou, about the financing?"

Zhou Jun asked in return, "How was your conversation with Jia He?"

"Mr. Zou is not in good health and has not been seeing any guests. His daughter, Zou Chongheng, is in charge. She is quite satisfied with our offer, but..."

Zhou Jun nodded, understanding the implication of his words.

Acquiring Zou Wenhuai’s shares requires a large amount of cash, and Huayi has no money!
If they want to take over this cinema chain's industry branch, they must rely on Zhou Jun's connections to find investment for them.

Here are some of Huayi’s most important financing rounds:
In 2006, Ma Yun made a personal investment;

In 2007, investors represented by Jiang Nanchun injected US$2000 million into Huayi in one go.

This was also Wang Dajun's way of leveraging capital to consolidate the industry and prepare for a potential IPO. The private placements after 2010, in which Ali and Penguin participated, together propelled Huayi to its peak.

In this life, Lu Kuan's butterfly wings have stirred up a storm in the film market and domestic entertainment, attracting a large amount of hot money.

Zhou Jun was also attracted to Guan Liao Capital in advance.

However, after several failed attempts, he had no choice but to settle for the second best and join Huayi.

"Tomorrow, Dajun and I will go to the American Club. I have appointments with Yahoo China, Tom.com, and Xinlang."

"Lukuan's development strategy is worth learning from. The internet and entertainment are inseparable industries."

"Just like the initial rise of blog.com, if it hadn't had friends like Mei Yanfang and Jay Chou, the user base wouldn't have grown so quickly."

Wang Dajun said with a smile, "It's not shameful to know shame and then be brave. Although we are a step behind the curve, if we can integrate with these internet companies and take over Golden Harvest Cinemas, we can definitely compete with Lu Kuan."

Especially with the joining of Zhou Jun, they really got a taste of what the aphrodisiac of power is.

The key to suppressing Lu Kuan and Liu Yifei this time was undoubtedly to use legal means to silence the blog network for three days.

These are three days to cover the enemy's mouth!

How can you speak up for yourself if you can't even speak?
Zhou Jun looked at his watch and decided not to stay any longer as he had to accompany his wife to visit an old leader today.

"By the way, have someone urge Song Zude to take better care of himself. He can't stop taking the medicine, haha."

Wang Dajun and Wang Xiaolei looked at each other, thinking that this was going to force the big-mouthed monster to death.

Beijing time, October 2004, 10, the last day of the seven-day National Day celebration.

Whenever the holiday time is insufficient, students and young and middle-aged people feel sad and lost.

But tonight, all of Liu Yifei's fans were waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the show they had been looking forward to for more than two days.

Today they don't have to fight with their parents for the channels to watch. Don't you adults like to watch CCTV? Then just watch CCTV!

Limited to CCTV-3!

After the "serial broadcast" is over, it's time to wash up and wash the fruit.

Without exception, those who had to go to school or work the next day sat in front of the TV.

Most people definitely watch CCTV, but there are also quite a few watching the Travel Channel.

Dong Shuangqiang was in the studio, and the real-time ratings data backstage had reached 15% and was still soaring.

He was both emotional and frightened.

I feel that Lu Kuan's appeal and operational capabilities are still so strong, but I am also worried about the role I will play between him and Zhou Jun.

He knew the inside story of this conflict, but he had always been in a neutral role.

He didn't want to offend Boss Lu, who was his partner and the God of Wealth;

He also didn't want to offend Zhou Jun, who had family connections and was well-informed about domestic and international policies.

These days, a piece of news is worth more than a fortune.

Across China, televisions in thousands of households are filled with viewers.

There are ordinary audiences and "professional audiences" here.

What is a "professional audience"?
At the Ideal Building, Wenjie's headquarters, Long Danni worked overtime with the variety show team. Everyone collectively observed the boss's extraordinary cultural promotion event, which also served as a public relations activity for the artists.
In a villa in a high-end residential complex in Peking, Wu Kebo, who had just returned from Japan, looked thoughtfully at the pre-show trailer. The domestic entertainment industry was developing vigorously, and perhaps he should also join the gold rush as soon as possible.

Huo Wenxi and Li Shoucheng were in a mansion in Repulse Bay, with Tang Yan, the newly signed young actress from Eagle King, and the other artists;
At Tangren’s Shanghai headquarters, owner Cai Yinong, director Li Guoli, and Beijing Dance Academy student Liu Shishi are watching the screen.

The boss specifically asked her to watch the show of her "cousin" Liu Yifei, and the intention was obviously obvious.

The most unconvinced person is Yang Mi from Rong Xingda. She doesn’t think there is any need for her to watch it. Who won’t be a star in the future?

Concubine Liu Yi is very good, but I also have my own way to go!
The bosses of domestic film and television companies, along with their agents and company backbones, have experienced the turbulent "anti-Liu movement" in the domestic entertainment industry this week.

Everyone, come tonight and humbly watch and learn from this open class called cultural promotion, which is actually about artist public relations and image building!
An open class organized and planned by Boss Lu himself!
At 8 o'clock sharp, the show starts, class begins, and everyone stands up.

A melodious and ethereal classical folk music sounded, and Liu Shishi keenly recognized that it was the prelude to "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" played on the guzheng.

She danced classically.

The clear sound of the guzheng is like pearls falling on a jade plate, creating a classical and tranquil atmosphere at the beginning of the program, and quickly bringing the audience into the theme of today's "Hanfu Gathering".

Concubine Liu Yi appeared.

The first outfit is an emerald green strapless dress. The Golden Lion Award-winning director gave a close-up horizontal shot, in which the sunlight cast a spot of light through the gaps between the leaves of the plane trees.

The woman walked under the Eiffel Tower, which had been temporarily cleared of visitors. The hem of her skirt swayed with her steps, and the embroidered patterns sparkled in the sunlight.

Xiao Liu is dressed up today, with an exquisite hairstyle, a hairpin and a step-shaking ornament.

With every step, the hairpin swayed gently, making a crisp sound.

The camera slowly zooms in to give a close-up of the details of Concubine Liu Yi's Hanfu, showing the fabric material, embroidery technique, color matching, etc.

The close-up shot focuses on the floral and bamboo patterns on the skirt. Every stitch and thread is clearly visible, as if you can feel the embroiderer's care and exquisite skills.

The audience in front of the TV were stunned, and the foreign guests at the gathering were also stunned.

The domestic audience is watching TV, and the audience on site is looking at the screen. This is the opening of today's event.

In a residential complex in Beijing, a family of three is watching TV.

"Is this the Zhao Linger you like?"

"Yes! I asked you for pocket money to buy a DVD for The Legend of Sword and Fairy, the one she starred in."

The parents felt proud when they saw the foreigners in the video covering their mouths in surprise as they looked at her.

I just felt a sense of pride in traditional culture filling my heart.

In fact, they don’t understand what Hanfu is, and don’t know what is so exquisite about this clothing.

But it is our cultural treasure after all. It is enough if someone can take it abroad and show it to the foreigners.

"Okay, I'll give you money tomorrow, go buy it."

"okay!"

Such conversations take place in thousands of households in different forms.

The scenes switched several times, showing Concubine Liu Yi wearing clothes of different styles and dynasties and lingering in front of the landmark buildings in Paris.

During the presentation, bilingual narration in Chinese and French introduced the different styles and characteristics of dynasties in an easy-to-understand manner.

Not only the guests from the breathtaking romantic city, but also the audiences in the mainland are eager to learn more.

"Hanfu originated in the Yellow Emperor period and has evolved over thousands of years to form a rich variety of styles."

"The Han Dynasty's long, curved-hem gown embodies solemnity and elegance."

"The chest-length skirt of the Tang Dynasty embodies the open and inclusive spirit of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Song Dynasty jackets highlight the fresh and refined style of scholars."

The picture not only depicts the realism of Concubine Liu Yi, but also uses special effects technology that was rushed to recreate some historical scenes.

The palace banquets of the Han Dynasty, the Lantern Festival of the Tang Dynasty, the literary gatherings of the Song Dynasty, etc.

In these scenes, people wear different styles of Hanfu and carry out various activities, allowing the audience to more intuitively feel the application scenarios and cultural atmosphere of Hanfu in different historical periods.

Lu Kuan, who is hailed as the best director in China by the audience, has his aesthetic design ability highlighted in this video.

The entire video's tone is mainly elegant and soft, which fits in with the elegant temperament of Hanfu and can better highlight the beauty of Hanfu.

At the same time, in some important scenes, such as close-up shots of Hanfu costumes and the reproduction of historical scenes, the color saturation and contrast are appropriately increased.

This can enhance the visual impact of the picture and allow the audience to pay more attention to the details and cultural connotations of Hanfu.

In view of the facial and body features of Concubine Liu, Boss Lu used side and back lighting to create a sense of three-dimensionality and layering.

The texture and material of Hanfu are presented more clearly, and Concubine Liu Yi's beautiful face and exquisite clothes complement each other.

When the brothers Wang Dajun and Wang Xiaolei from Huayi saw this, they turned off the TV.

"Nala, you should go back and rest early."

Jang Nara didn't know what to say.

Did I lose?
Obviously not. On the contrary, her recently flourishing career made both her and her father happy.

But after watching the opening ten minutes of the cultural program, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

This feeling of powerlessness does not mean that she is so convinced of Concubine Liu Yi herself, but that she has given up.

But it is about the broad road, about China and Chinese culture.

South Korea is too small, too cramped, and has too little to offer.

This country with a population of 13 billion has a lot to offer artists and practitioners in terms of both geographical breadth and temporal scope.

Concubine Liu Yi has Chinese blood in her body. She can represent and interpret such profound and classical Chinese culture. Those gorgeous clothes seem to be tailor-made for her.

But what about yourself?

Zhang Nara left with a sad heart. She did not hear Wang Xiaolei's calls on the phone urging Song Zude to act quickly.

Although I don’t know if it will still be useful, and I don’t know if it will cause a big backlash against road width, let’s wait and see!
We can't just watch her soar to new heights with the blessing of Lu Kuan, or even surpass her before, right?

Then how can our Huayi’s Jang Nara come to the fore?

Not only Huayi, but also the young actresses who are watching the live broadcast with their bosses and agents in the company.

Everyone has mixed emotions.

They know that they were selected and trained according to the acting style and development model of the girl on TV.

But this road seems too difficult to walk on.

But no one was discouraged.

Liu Shishi studied dance, and this experience made her particularly resilient and hardy, and she possessed a kind of unspoken tenacity in her character;
Tang Yan is older and more mature among the young actresses. She is confident that she can make a fortune by relying on the resources of the Hong Kong circle.
Yang Mi doesn't need any encouragement at all. She is even looking forward to joining the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" next week to compete with this Concubine Liu Yi.

I also wanted to be selected as the female lead in CCTV's TV series "Wang Zhaojun"!
Who isn’t the heroine?

We are all at the same age, and no one will give in to the other.

Soon, all the landmark buildings were displayed along with various styles of Hanfu, and the video used parallel montage techniques to take the audience through the various styles that had been shown before.

Concubine Liu Yi finally arrived at Notre Dame Cathedral.

Notre Dame de Paris is a symbol of ancient Paris and has a profound historical and cultural heritage.

The solemn and dignified architectural style complements the elegance and solemnity of Hanfu. Holding the final performance here can naturally give the audience an immersive sense of involvement.

This is a unique charm and ultimate aesthetic that is a fusion of Eastern and Western cultures.

Concubine Liu Yi finally returned to the origin of "Hanfu", wearing a Han Dynasty bun and a red Han Dynasty skirt.

Boss Lu suddenly turned up the contrast in this scene. To the audience in front of the TV, it seemed as if there was only an elf in red Hanfu left between heaven and earth.

She paused, and as if by habit she used Grotowski's combined breathing, her clear chanting resounded throughout the ancient Notre Dame Cathedral.

When I climbed the ancient city wall
When I touch the rotten pillars and beams

When I excitedly lean on the railing and look into the distance
There will always be a hint of bitterness rushing to the eyes
I always hear a voice saying loudly:

Remember?
Your ancestor's name is Yanhuang
All the viewers in front of the TV got goosebumps when they heard the words "Yanhuang".

A beautiful Chinese girl in a red dress recited our own Hanfu poem in such a shocking way in the ancient Western Notre Dame Cathedral.

This is even several times more direct and intense than the sense of national pride that "Foreign Land" brings to everyone!
Where does the shock of aesthetics come from?

Many people have had this experience: when they travel around the beautiful mountains and rivers of their motherland, they are shocked by the wonders of nature, and tears flow unconsciously from their eyes.

Similarly, faced with the shots and colors specially designed by the Golden Lion Award-winning director, many viewers in front of the TV and at the scene were already in tears.

Liu Xiaoli and Ankang at the scene are among them.

On the one hand, it was because of my feelings for my daughter, and on the other hand, the scene was so shocking that it made my throat dry and painful, and I couldn't help crying.

The recitation continued, and Concubine Liu Yi gradually absorbed the emotions in the poems, her voice sometimes low and sometimes high.

Where is that country of etiquette?
Where are you, my Han son?
Why do I wear the most beautiful clothes?

You say I'm behaving abnormally?
Why do I cherish Hanfu so much?

You actually said it belongs to Fusang?
Why do I sincerely confess?

Do you always think it's a joke?
Why did I shed tears

Nothing can move your hard heart?
In the CCTV studio, the CCTV-3 program director took off his glasses and touched his eye sockets.

He is in charge of the variety show channel, which is responsible for the production and promotion of cultural programs, and shoulders the heavy responsibility assigned by the General Administration and the Cultural Department.

How should cultural production and output be carried out?
The director looked at the lonely Concubine Liu Yi in the picture thoughtfully and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Dong Shuangqiang in the Travel Channel studio was ecstatic as he watched the ratings soar to a peak of 25%.

This year, Travel Channel, which has "Super Girl", "Zhu Xian" and prime-time TV dramas, has a total advertising revenue of 2.2 million yuan, including sponsorship fees.

Judging from today’s data and feedback, if the entire station’s advertising budget doesn’t double next year, it would be a sign of his incompetence!

Equally popular were the live text and picture broadcasts on Blog.com and Douban. Fans of Liu Yifei were frantically flooding the screen with likes, and they also took the opportunity to sneak under the Xinlang blogs of Song Zude, Jang Nara and others to curse and ridicule them!
Hate Korean fans: "Go home, you bastards! The clothes your ancestors wore were all copied from us Chinese!"

Patriotic fans: "Support Consort Liu Yi! Let those foreigners see what small chaff is!"

Comments on beauty fans: "You can doubt the character of a washing machine, but you can never doubt its vision. Liu Yifei has proved this once again."

Male fan: "I'm sorry I shouldn't have trolled you before. If anyone says you're transgender again, I'll cut him off and make him transgender first!"

Female fans: "Xixi, it would be great if you really had a sex change, then I could marry you..."

Fans who quoted classics said: "Hua is the beauty of Zhangfu, Xia is the greatness of etiquette. Thank you Liu Yifei for your interpretation in the program today. I have become a fan."

Even a contemporary internet celebrity named Sister Furong got in on the act: "Actually, I was planning to look like this too, oh, let's not talk about it..."

Liu Yifei's recitation reached its final climax, and her voice was choked with sobs.

As far as lines and voice are concerned, after two years of training, I am already a master.

Remember

Remember

There was once a time

Named Han Tang
There once was a river

Named Yangtze River
There once was a pair of totems

Named Longfeng
There was once a feathered robe

Name is——

Colorful clothes!

The picture changes gradually, and Lu Kuan designed a closed scroll effect at the end.

The black edges at the top and bottom of the video gradually moved towards the middle until the red figure disappeared from the screen.

The 30-minute Hanfu promotional video ends.

The scene was filled with thunderous applause, and the audience across the country was excited.

"It's broken! It's broken, Dong Zong, 35%!"

"Have Song Zude send me a message immediately! Immediately! Arrange for the navy to rush in!"

"Tang Yan, don't overthink it. Director Lu is a friend of our Eagle King. We will have opportunities for cooperation in the future."

“Shishi, your dancing skills are very good, even better than Liu Yifei. You will be fine in the future, just go for it!”

"Mi Mi, you have a long way to go. Keep working hard. You are no worse than anyone else!"

The TV screen switched to the scene at the Rodin Museum.

The program's location director first started at the entrance of the art museum and briefly introduced the history and cultural connotations of this place.

Domestic audiences are very familiar with the statue of the Thinker with his chin resting on his hand.

Oh~ It turns out this is Rodin’s work!

Once you enter the museum, you will find that it has been completely decorated in the style of a catwalk. It has also been the venue for many high-end fashion shows by well-known brands such as Dior.

Today it is rented by the embassy and the community to promote Hanfu culture.

The spread of Chinese culture requires a carrier. Movies are one of them, and clothing is another more direct one.

As the French beauty host Melissa said in her opening remarks:
In 1895, the Lumière brothers of France screened a film at the Grand Café in Paris. This day is considered the birth of cinema.

"Thousands of years ago, in the ancient East, the gorgeous costumes we just saw in the opening video were already popular among the nobility."

"China and France, two countries renowned for their splendid cultures, film and fashion are our common topics."

Melissa paused and nodded gracefully to Lu Kuan and Liu Yifei in the audience.
"Today, we are honored to invite Mr. Lu Kuan, the director of 'Foreign Land', winner of the Venice Golden Lion Award and the Grand Prix of the 56th Cannes Film Festival."

"And Miss Liu Yifei, who just showed us her gorgeous crown and beautiful clothes and plays Lan Yue in "Foreign Land"."

"I would also like to thank the leaders and staff of the Chinese Embassy in France for bringing everyone together to share Chinese Hanfu culture at the Musee Rodin, a museum full of art!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy this afternoon, Amuse toi bien! (Have fun)"

This was followed by a tightly-knit cultural exchange activity.

There will be Chinese musical instrument performances and Hanfu fashion shows, illustrated cultural lectures and on-site try-on experiences.

As the host introduced the guests, familiar faces appeared on the screen.

In addition to officials from the French cultural and foreign education departments, there are also many film and cultural celebrities present today.

Jean Reno, a Spanish-French actor, has long been well-known to Chinese audiences through pirated DVDs, but not many people know Luc Besson.

Suddenly, a face that was very familiar to people born in the 60s, 70s, and even the 50s came into view and was shaking hands and greeting Lu Kuan.

What the hell!

In thousands of households across China, many parents were surprised and swore.

Isn't this Alain Delon?

He is here too!

Alain Delon is the protagonist of "Zorro", a co-production between Italy and France. It entered the mainland in 1978 and was one of the first Western films introduced during that period.

The image of Alain Delon, a brave and righteous knight in "Zorro", is very consistent with the aesthetic pursuits and spiritual intentions of the Chinese people.

According to statistics, more than 1978 million people watched "Zorro" in China in 7000.

It was definitely a hit at the time, and it is still a favorite of many older movie fans.

Alain Delon was invited by Luc Besson and Lu Kuan, but he himself is also very friendly to China.

In 1987, Alain Delon premiered "A Police Promise" in Beijing. He was one of the few foreign movie stars who personally came to the roadshow.

Later, he often traveled to China and held his 50th birthday party at BJ's Maxim's Restaurant, which became a legend of the restaurant.

Teenagers in front of the TV watched their idol Liu Yifei introduce Chinese culture to French guests;

Middle-aged and elderly people in front of the TV watched their idol Alain Delon and Chinese director Lu Kuan greet each other, take photos together, and try on Hanfu.

From the opening 30-minute promotional video directed by a Golden Lion Award winner, to this moment of communication between Chinese and French cultural celebrities on Hanfu and Chinese culture;

The worship of idols and the pride of national culture going global are embodied at this moment, and the whole program is about to come to an end.

In thousands of households across China.

"Hmm... This program on Travel Channel is pretty good. If you see it next time, remember to ask your dad to watch it!"

"Dad, what about the money I need to buy the 'Chinese Paladin' DVD and the 'Zhu Xian' T-shirt?"

"Go find your mother!"

Just as Zhou Jun and Huayi Wang and Wang Xiaowang said, Travel Channel, as a local TV station that can directly face the national audience, plays a very sharp role in Lu Kuan's hands.

This time, even if he didn't find help from the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture and Art and Liu Yifei's father in the Ministry of Foreign Education, even if the program could not be broadcast on CCTV, he could still use Travel Satellite TV to output his own content.

It's like a loudspeaker that can speak at any time and face the people of the whole country.

As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, Boss Lu can say whatever he wants and support whoever he wants.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to have good works so that the audience can pay attention to your channel, which is something that other satellite TV programs cannot do on a regular basis.

"Super Girl", "Zhu Xian" and the prime-time dramas such as "The Disguiser" and "Soldier Assault", other satellite TV stations would be lucky if they could get one.

Travel Channel is running non-stop. Apart from CCTV and Hunan TV, who the hell can stand it?
After the "Hanfu Yaji" program became so popular that it went viral, heated discussions about such a cultural product and activity undoubtedly swept the entire Internet.

Before "Foreign Land", Liu Yifei had about 800 million fans.

With the support of the female lead who has become the champion of the domestic box office history, the box office of "Hanfu Yaji" has exceeded 10 million.

This number is not an exaggeration. In 2005, within less than three months of Xu Jinglei starting her blog, the number of hits on her blog exceeded million.

What's more, the blog network in this world is the gathering place and essence of public opinion on the entire Internet, and its traffic is second to none.

In today's blogosphere, only Jay Chou, Anita Mui, Andy Lau and others are on par with her in the entertainment circle, and the second tier is the other four little beauties and the two iced girls.

In the early morning, Liu Yifei uploaded a photo on the homepage of her blog. There was no text, only a heart.

The photo shows himself, Ankang and Liu Xiaoli in front of the T-stage of the Rodin Museum.

Not far behind the three people, Lu Kuan was chatting with international friends.

The netizens in the comment section were very resourceful and quickly found out that the man was Xiao Liu's old father and a diplomat at the Chinese Embassy in France.

So I started to play jokes and mentioned Lukuan below.

"Washing machine, why don't you come over this time?"

"Are you afraid of being beaten by his father?"

"Liu Yifei's father, please arrest that washing machine man on the spot. He has been coveting your daughter for a long time!"

"For the sake of your daughter, please ask Mr. Liu to hang the washing machine on the cross of Notre Dame Cathedral!"

Liu Yifei laughed wildly and gave thumbs up one by one!

After teasing Boss Lu on his homepage, he would go to Song Zude's Xinlang blog to rant about him every day when he had nothing to do.

In short, people who enjoy the Internet can never be idle.

Subsequently, the official Weibo account of the Chinese Embassy in France issued a statement, specially appointing Ms. Liu Yifei as the China-France Cultural Exchange Ambassador to contribute to the exchanges between China and France in film, fashion and food.

Liu Yifei forwarded the blog and sent a few red hearts, national flags and small fists.

The CCTV homepage on Blog.com reposted the video of last night's 30-minute program, and the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Foreign Education of the Embassy of China in France gave real-name thumbs-up.

The event's scale and subsequent sensational effects continued to grow, so in addition to Song Jude, another person who suffered was Jang Nara.

The troops went to the blog post where Jang Nara had previously participated in a cultural exchange activity wearing Korean costumes.

"You stupid Korean, are you still so arrogant?"

“Who the hell isn’t a cultural exchange ambassador?”

"Jang Nara, take off your Korean clothes! They're copied from China!"

"I support the above! Take off the bra and other things, that's just plagiarizing the West!"

“Support the above and above, take off everything and re-blog it!”

. . .

The public relations drama that Lu Kuan tailored for Concubine Liu Yi has come to an end.

The counterattack against Hua Yi and Song Jude's attempt to cut down his cash cow is about to begin.
