Rebirth: I made my fortune by navigating the entertainment industry

Chapter 8 Title: Inhuman!
"Sister Yang?"

"Xiao Guan, you're here too?"

"Was it an invitation from Jaywalk Studio?"

"No, it was an invitation from Shangshi Pictures. They said that their first collaboration with Jiaxing Media is about to start filming a period idol drama, and they wanted us to come and participate to help promote it."

Outside the camera studio in Zone C of Hengshan Film and Television Base.

The two female entertainment reporters met up and started chatting.

Both of them work for one of the top news companies in the country.

The entertainment reporter, called "Xiao Guan," looked puzzled. "Sister Yang, a lot of our colleagues have been called over this time. It's quite a big event. I feel like even the press conferences for big directors' new films aren't this big. But this is just a TV series premiere. Who is this director who's so amazing?"

Upon hearing this, Sister Yang, who was also an entertainment reporter, smiled, and a smile appeared on her mature and beautiful face, leaving young Guan stunned.

"According to my inside information, I heard that this is a new director, and he is one of Wu Qian's people, but why is there such a big fuss... I don't know."

After saying that, Sister Yang shrugged her shoulders.

The silk blouse hanging on her body trembled twice, highlighting her mature womanly charm beyond compare. That's the charm of a mature woman; every move she makes is full of allure.

Xiao Guan, standing in front of her, couldn't help but frown.

Damn it!
We're both women, so why is she so lacking in femininity?

However, such thoughts were fleeting. After all, she was here to work. Xiao Guan coughed twice and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that Jiaxing is trying to promote this newcomer and is deliberately spending money on him to stir up public opinion?"

This method has been used before.

On the surface, he is said to be a director working behind the scenes, but in reality, he intends to use the persona of a "behind-the-scenes director" to promote him as a trendy figure that young girls love to follow.

For example, a handsome young man debuts as a "singer," but his backing company throws money at him and various online trolls praise him as "the only handsome man in China's five thousand years of history."

He uses his "handsome guy" persona to make money in various ways, sell merchandise, attract customers, and so on.

In the end, people forgot that he was originally a "singer," but by the time the public realized it, he had already made enough money.

Sister Yang shook her head gently, "Who knows? Maybe this new director is really talented. Otherwise, why would even Shangshi Pictures be willing to support him? Don't forget, Wu Qian from Jiaxing and Shangshi Pictures have a performance-based agreement."

Xiao Guan clicked his tongue in agreement, "That's right. Logically speaking, Shangshi Pictures should be doing everything it can to stop Jiaxing from making money. After all, compared to those few hundred million, Wu Qian, this cash cow, is much more powerful!"

"Sigh, a woman should be like Wu Qian."

Sister Yang sighed softly, unable to help but feel sentimental.

"Sister Yang, you don't need to envy Wu Qian. That woman might not even be human!"

"what?"

"Otherwise, why would they be so awesome!?"

"..."

Sister Yang was speechless.

From a child star to a leading female celebrity in the entertainment industry.

The worst part is that this woman is several years younger than her!
Saying she's not human... is understandable.

"Alright, Sister Yang, there's no point in comparing yourself to those superhumans. You're already very strong. You're so young and you've already become the company's chief entertainment reporter. Maybe you can even be promoted to editor-in-chief!" Xiao Guan's eyes were practically sparkling!
"Still young? I'm over thirty!"

"Sister Yang, is thirty-two years old considered thirty-something?"

"Why not?" Sister Yang chuckled twice. "Alright, let's go in and see what kind of medicine that inhuman gourd you're talking about is really selling."

……

Upon entering the tent, it was already packed with people.

Many of them were colleagues they knew, including quite a few entertainment reporters from major internet companies. When colleagues meet, especially in a setting where they know nothing about each other, they inevitably have to ask each other questions.

But after asking around for a long time, everyone finally realized... they had been kept in the dark.

The only thing they could say was the little information that entertainment reporter Sister Yang knew, and it was this little bit of information that made everyone present even more curious.

The discussion grew louder and louder.

Several more people came up onto the platform one after another.

Lead actress Wu Qian walked out first, followed by Yan Qingning, Zeng Jia, and several other actors. Oh right, these actors are all under Jaywalk Studio.

Following closely behind was the head of Shangshi Pictures, and the newcomer they had brought in in exchange for giving Shen Luo control of the production team—Li Yimiao.

But at this moment, all the reporters' eyes were focused on Wu Qian, who was wearing a plain white dress, and several entertainment reporters in the front row even wanted to rush up to interview her.

Wu Qian was already used to such scenes.

She smiled and nodded to the entertainment reporters in the audience, then sat down in her seat. After everyone was seated, the audience realized that the center position was still empty.

But before they could ask who was in the center position...

Shen Luo came up.

Then he sat in the center position.

Upon seeing this, the audience erupted in uproar.

However, Shen Luo did not immediately introduce himself. Instead, he let the reporters discuss the matter while casually chatting with Wu Qian next to him. "Mr. Wu, you've got some serious reporters here in such a short time. You're still got it."

"Get lost, you're the one who's old."

Wu Qian said coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, I'm getting old." Shen Luo agreed with a smile. "President Wu, don't forget, I'll be in charge of the whole thing. You can just sit here and be a decorative vase."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qian gave him a playful glare.

The two's subtle actions were witnessed by the head of Shangshi Pictures and Li Yimiao, who were standing nearby.

They were all very surprised.

Wu Qian, who is usually quite aloof, seems to be acting a bit like a spoiled little woman in front of this little guy named Shen Luo?
"Are you treating me like a data package?" Wu Qian rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Shen Luo.

"I'll treat you like a data package, but it can generate a huge buzz for Gujian Qitan before filming even starts. How about it? Want to be one?"

"when."

"Would you stoop so low just to make money?" Shen Luo clicked his tongue contemptuously a few times. "Hakiqian, you bastard!"

"Hakiqian? Where did you learn so much nonsense?"

"What happened?"

……

However, the flirtatious couple clearly didn't notice that many entertainment reporters in the audience had already noticed their furtive little actions.

Even the entertainment reporters sitting in the front row could faintly hear the conversation between the two, and they were a little confused for a moment.

But their initial shock was short-lived. These shrewd entertainment reporters immediately realized, "Holy crap! This is huge news!"
It doesn't matter whether you two are related or not!

I immediately posted: "#Shocking! Top female celebrity caught being all lovey-dovey with a young male celebrity?!"

At worst, it would be something like: "#TopFemaleCelebrityOpenlyFlirtsWithYoungMan?!"
