I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"Your boss really doesn't like older women, does he? Or does he have Cao Mengde's tastes?" Yang Mi's eyes showed a strange look, and she thought to herself, "Why don't I just find a man and marry him? And then go find Cheng Sheng?"

It's no wonder Yang Mi had this idea, because the women Cheng Sheng dated were all 'older women'.

"Mimi, don't talk nonsense. You can't trust the news on the internet. The boss is so nice, he wouldn't do something like that!" Jiao Junyan said indignantly.

Yang Mi's eyes flickered, but she didn't refute it. After all, as someone in the entertainment industry, she knew that most of the information online was false, and people just parroted what others said.

As a social media platform, entertainment websites have a large number of users and a wealth of information.

Gossip about celebrities may come from various sources, including some false information or exaggerated reports.

Therefore, the authenticity and accuracy of the leaked information cannot be determined.

People who leak celebrity gossip on websites may have various purposes and motivations, such as seeking attention, promoting themselves, or entertaining the public.

These motivations may affect the objectivity and authenticity of the information leaked.

Celebrity gossip on the internet often lacks sufficient evidence and is often based on rumors, speculation, or one-sided statements.

Without substantial evidence, it is difficult to determine the credibility of these revelations.

Therefore, people should maintain a rational attitude towards celebrity gossip and avoid blindly believing it online.

When determining its authenticity, it is necessary to verify it from multiple sources and make a comprehensive judgment by combining information from multiple sources.

At the same time, we should respect the privacy of celebrities, refrain from spreading unverified information, and maintain a healthy social media environment.

"Could there be a conspiracy here? Could Wu Baige be smearing the boss again?" Zhang Xiaofei asked hesitantly.

It's true that Wu Baige has a history of using the media to smear Cheng Sheng, so it's normal for her to use this method to smear her boss again.

Moreover, it seems he's going to be competing with the boss's new movie, and Wu Baige is afraid he'll lose again. It wouldn't be unreasonable for her to use some underhanded tactics.

“Yes, no one else would plot against the boss except him,” Jiao Junyan agreed.

“This photo doesn’t look edited, and I’ve been to this hotel a few times. I’ve also seen the sunset picture hanging in the corridor,” Yang Mi said, staring at the computer.

"The fact that the boss and Chen Hong met at the hotel doesn't necessarily mean anything. Maybe they were discussing serious business, such as collaborating on a film."

Zhang Xiaofei pondered.

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaofei mention collaborating on a film, Yang Mi narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself: This explanation does help explain why Cheng Sheng met Chen Hong in the hotel room.

If it really is a collaborative film, then this movie...

"Yanyan, do you know if your boss has written a script?" Yang Mi asked tentatively.

Jiao Junyan was taken aback, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There's no word in the company group that the boss has written a new script."

"No new scripts?" Yang Mi asked, a little disappointed.

If Cheng Sheng writes a new script, then meeting Chen Hong at a hotel might actually lead to a collaboration between the two.

If that's the case, then I must use every means to get it.

If the news of Chen Kaige and Cheng Sheng getting together were to get out, it would probably cause a sensation in the Chinese entertainment industry.

At that time, all actors in the Chinese entertainment industry will take action. As long as they can secure a role in one of the two great directors' films, whether it's a lead or a supporting role, they'll basically become famous.

If you perform well, you might even walk the red carpet in Europe and your status will rise.

If they're lucky enough to win an award, they could become the next Zheng Guolin, Fu Dalong, or even Li Naiwen.

This is no exaggeration.

For example, the future Sachiko Rei.

The day after she won the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival.

The fashion industry, which directly represents a celebrity's commercial value and "status," is now being fawned over.

As the top fashion magazine, VG directly replaced the original cover model, giving Sachiko Rei the second most important solo cover of the year.

Before winning the award, Xing Zilei had already appeared on the cover of VG magazine's most important annual event, along with ten other actresses including Liu Yifei, Song Jia, Dilraba Dilmurat, and Zhang Zifeng.

In the questionnaire sent to everyone by VG magazine, Xingzi Lei wrote down her wish without hesitation: to get a solo cover for VG.

Just two days later, her wish came true.

This also means that Sachiko Rei graced the covers of both the September and October issues of VG magazine, which is almost unprecedented in the magazine's history.

This is the benefit of winning the three major European awards.

The fashion industry has always been the most snobbish and opportunistic place.

The scene of VG magazine and the other four major fashion publications (Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, ELLE, and COSMO) vying to invite Xing Zilei to appear on their covers.

This also dealt a heavy blow to the fallacies that Xing Zilei had been trying to undermine her future prospects after winning the award, and even believed that she could not surpass the so-called "85 Flowers"!

Do you really think the so-called "85 Flowers" have such high status?
When the "85 Flowers" were at their peak, Liu Sisi starred in two films, both of which only grossed a little over 1000 million yuan at the box office. The online hype about "million-dollar army" was a complete embarrassment, and the film industry finally learned what fake traffic meant.

In Lu Yang's film "Brotherhood of Blades 1," Liu Sisi was given ten minutes of screen time, yet she managed to portray a sighted prostitute as if she were blind. The film ultimately grossed 9000 million yuan, barely breaking even and barely making a profit.

In contrast, Xing Zilei, who also starred in Lu Yang's "Brotherhood of Blades 2" and played a minor, supporting role, became famous overnight with her Qi family sword.

This propelled her from a 30-year-old actress into the ranks of second-tier stars, and two years later she landed a leading role in a big-budget commercial film, co-starring with A-list male stars like Sun Yanwang and Xu Guangtou.

That's when the difference in quality becomes immediately apparent.

Of course, this is not to praise Sachiko Rei.

Rather, Xing Zilei is indeed a very talented actress.

She entered the industry at the age of thirty, had never acted in a period drama, and did not have any die-hard fans. Of course, she could not guarantee box office success or high viewership ratings. After seven or eight years in the industry, the quality of her works has been uneven.

However, even before winning the award, Xing Zilei was able to play the dual female lead in "Qiao Yan's Heart" with Zhao Zhao Xiaodao, who had just won several awards, and was one of the three female leads in "Blossoms Shanghai" with Tang Yan.

When Xing Zilei was crowned Empress in Venice, did she know what this meant?
First of all, she is the third actress from mainland China to win the UEFA Best Actress award in the past forty years, and the sixth actress from the entire Chinese-language film industry (including Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas Chinese).

Scarcity increases value, and its worth is self-evident. This achievement is well-deserved and has been directly written into the history of Chinese-language cinema.

This means that, solely from the perspective of 'recognizing the contributions of Chinese cinema,' unless the film's content is too sensitive to be publicly released, Xing Zilei will be automatically nominated for Best Actress at next year's Golden Rooster Awards. (End of Chapter)
