I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

New employees have low profile when they first join the company and cannot bring tangible benefits to the company.

This is when Yang Mi needs to pave the way for them.

In the films and television dramas starring Yang Mi in those years, audiences would often see other artists from the same company.

For example, TV series such as "Eternal Love" and "The Interpreter", and movies such as "Flipped" and "The Witness".

Every time Yang Mi walks the red carpet, she brings along the artists under her management.

Major film and television companies that want to collaborate with Yang Mi must include all of Jaywalk Studio's artists in the package; otherwise, they will not cooperate.

Yang Mi has always had a good reputation and a good network of connections in the entertainment industry, and as a boss, she is very responsible.

She is generous in helping her juniors, and would rather forgo her own screen time to secure exposure for the artists in her company. The artists under Yang Mi's management are all very grateful to her.

During the years when Yang Mi was "working herself to the bone" for Jaywalk Studio, the pressure she faced was unimaginable.

Yang Mi has always been known as a "workaholic" in the entertainment industry. Every year, she can film several dramas, appear at various galas and red carpets, and has countless magazine endorsements.

There are reasons for all of this.

Jaywalk Media started as a small company. In order to attract investment from large companies and achieve better development, Jaywalk Media signed a 3 million yuan performance-based agreement with Shanghai Media Group Pictures.

If Jaywalk Media's net profit does not reach 3 million yuan after three years, it will have to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract, and Jaywalk Media will cease to exist.

In order to fulfill the requirements of the performance-based agreement, Yang Mi frantically accepted gigs, regardless of whether they were bad films or advertisements, or whether they would affect her future career.

As long as the money is right, Yang Mi will participate in the filming. She works for 360 out of 365 days a year.

Yang Mi's reputation collapsed during that period. Articles criticizing her were everywhere, and various marketing accounts said that she had poor acting skills, always acted in the same way, took on multiple projects at the same time, made bad movies, and was willing to do anything for traffic, deviating from the essential requirements of an actor, and could only be considered a celebrity.

Fortunately, he won the bet in the end.

But in the end, Yang Mi discovered that she had fought for capital, only to become its outcast. Yang Mi's experience is truly lamentable.

In the end, he had no choice but to leave Jaywalk Studio.

Cheng Sheng recalled Yang Mi's future journey and then sent her an emoji.

As for how Yang Mi will guess after seeing the meme, Cheng Sheng can only let things develop on their own.

If Yang Mi can guess correctly, then congratulations to her, Cheng Sheng wouldn't mind helping her out.

After closing Yang Mi's chat page, Cheng Sheng opened the message sent by Qiao Shan.

When Cheng Sheng saw Qiao Shan's message, he felt like the sky was falling and quickly turned on his phone's network.

He saw a flood of news online about him and Chen Hong checking into a hotel.

Cheng Sheng's face grew increasingly pale. He hadn't expected that even though he and Chen Hong had been so careful, they had still been photographed.

Damn it.

Didn't the hotel manager guarantee that reporters wouldn't be allowed into the hotel?
Cheng Sheng smiled bitterly. This storm of public opinion was sweeping in, and he didn't know if he could withstand it.

Fortunately, the camera only captured him and Chen Hong at the hotel room door, not inside the hotel room.

Otherwise, no matter how much I try to argue, probably no one will believe me.

Cheng Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky. Before coming, he had told Zeng Li that he was going to the hotel to meet Chen Hong to give her the script.

It seems that this advance 'prevention' was effective; at least Zeng Li didn't send him any messages or call him, clearly believing his words.

He thought it was just a meeting with Chen Hong to give her the script, but he didn't expect the other side of the story.

[Shanzi, those news articles online are all fake. I met with Chen Hong because I wanted to collaborate with director Chen Kaige on a new film.]

Cheng Sheng sent the written message. Although Qiao Shan was his brother, there were some things that needed to be kept from him.

After closing Qiao Shan's chat page, Cheng Sheng looked at other messages.

Those who can add him as a friend and have his contact information are basically Cheng Sheng's friends, teachers, and collaborators.

All these people were asking him about his relationship with Chen Hong and whether he needed any help.

Teachers such as Chen Daoming, Li Naiwen, and Bao Guoan even said they could post articles online to support themselves.

Cheng Sheng was deeply moved when he saw it.

Thank you, Teacher Chen. The information online is all false.

【fake. 】

After replying to Professor Chen Daoming, Cheng Sheng looked at the hundreds of messages and could only reply with the word "fake".

Ring ring ring!
Suddenly, his phone rang. When Cheng Sheng saw that the caller ID showed it was Han Sanye, he felt a headache coming on.

"Mr. Han, Happy Lantern Festival! What brings you here to call me?"

After the call connected, Cheng Sheng immediately spoke.

"Xiao Cheng, I was supposed to be at home with my family for the Lantern Festival, but this whole thing has blown up too much. Now the whole internet is talking about you and Chen Hong. Tell me honestly, is it true?" Master Han said helplessly.

"It's all fake, all fake. It's all just reporters spreading rumors," Cheng Shengyi said sternly.

"Fake? But the photo doesn't look fake!"

Although Master Han believed Cheng Sheng—after all, it wouldn't be a problem for Cheng Sheng to want a woman without a word—he still hoped to get an answer from Cheng Sheng himself.

"Mr. Han, is it possible that Chen Hong came to see me on important business, and then the reporters took pictures, causing this media storm?" Cheng Sheng said.

"Serious business? What's your relationship with her?"

"Chen Hong and I are from the same hometown, you should know that!"

"I almost forgot, Chen Hong is also from Rao City."

"Not only that, Chen Hong came to the Central Academy of Drama when I was in college, and that's when I met her."

"So that's how it is! Xiao Cheng, what was the important matter you discussed with her?"

"It's okay to tell you this. Sister Hong asked me to write a script for Director Chen Kaige." Cheng Sheng hesitated for a moment before telling Han Sanye.

Anyway, the script has already been given to Chen Hong, so this matter can't be hidden anymore.

"What? Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"

Han Sanye's shocked voice came from the phone, followed by, "No, I have to go find Chen Kaige."

"President Han, what do you want with Director Chen Kaige?" Cheng Sheng asked curiously.

"Investment," Master Han said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng's lips twitched slightly.

"Blue Is the Warmest Color" is a low-budget drama, but Han Sanye seems to have treated it like a blockbuster.

“There’s no need. This movie doesn’t have a high budget. Director Chen Kaige can come up with the investment money all by himself,” Cheng Sheng said.

"Low investment? No, shouldn't the movie you're working on with director Chen Kaige be a blockbuster? How could the investment be low?"

A film co-directed by two of China's top directors—even if it doesn't become a blockbuster, the investment cost alone should be around seventy or eighty million yuan! (End of Chapter)
