Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.
Chapter 34 Sincerity and the Next Client
The broadcast of "My Love from the Star" in Hong Kong also sparked a craze for watching dramas. Fan Bingbing even rose to the throne of top actress with her role as Zhang Wangshu in "My Love from the Star". It would be a lie to say that she is not regretful.
The team initially declined the idea because they thought the "alien" concept was too novel, but it unexpectedly became a symbol of an era.
"This 'Shen Jiayi' is different."
Liu Yifei lightly traced a line from the script with her fingertips: "There are many things in life that are futile."
She looked up at her mother, Liu Xiaoli, and said, "Mom, I feel like he can see something different about me."
Looking at the long-lost look of longing in her daughter's eyes, Liu Xiaoli finally nodded: "Alright, since you insist on seeing Zhang Yang, I'll make the arrangements."
...
Negative rumors about Zhang Yang continue to circulate online, but the sheer power of Zhang Yang's fans means the response hasn't met Wang Xiaoer's expectations.
Just as Wang Xiaoer was losing his temper, in a villa in Beijing, the warm yellow wall lamps outlined the languid silhouettes after a passionate encounter.
Fan Bingbing, like a satisfied cat, curled up in Zhang Yang's arms, her fingertips unconsciously drawing circles on his chest.
"A few days ago, Sister Hua contacted me."
Her voice was hoarse afterward, as if she had just casually mentioned a trivial matter: "We talked about 'The Heirs'."
Zhang Yang closed his eyes, his large hand gently stroking her smooth back, and a lazy murmur escaped from his nose: "Hmm?"
Fan Bingbing chuckled softly, her breath tickling his skin: "She, you know, is just beating around the bush; she still wants some investment share."
"Looks like Sister Hua knows how to play the madam route now!"
Fan Bingbing didn't pay much attention to Zhang Yang's teasing. She raised her eyes, observing his calm profile in the dim light, and continued in that nonchalant tone: "Tell me, is Sister Hua interested in the project, or is she interested in how much the name 'Zhang Yang' is worth now?"
Zhang Yang slowly opened his eyes, meeting her probing gaze. His famously fox-like eyes, usually so sharp and shrewd, now held only a misty glint and a barely perceptible hint of probing. He didn't answer immediately, but instead pulled her closer, lowering his head to place a kiss on her forehead.
What she values is your place in my heart.
His deep voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet room. His words, though seemingly casual, were like a pebble thrown into the center of a lake.
This statement not only points out Wang Jinghua's ulterior motives, but also brings the core of the problem back to Fan Bingbing herself. Wang Jinghua is trying to test how much Fan Bingbing means to her.
Fan Bingbing paused for a moment, then chuckled and lightly punched him: "You slippery fellow."
She buried her face in the crook of his neck, inhaling his familiar, comforting scent.
"So... are you going to give Sister Hua some investment share or not?"
She asked in a muffled voice, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry, as if she were deciding on a trivial matter.
Zhang Yang's hand slid to her waist and gave it a light pinch, eliciting a soft gasp from her.
"Since Sister Hua wants some, then give her some, but not much, only 5%!"
Having received the answer, Fan Bingbing didn't want to dwell on the topic and changed the subject, saying, "Wang Xiaoer's methods this time were a bit dirty. He wanted the public to assume from the outset that you have a 'chaotic private life.' Even if you clarify these things later, people will still bring it up."
"Don't worry, I didn't have time to deal with him before. Now that I've finished dealing with some things at hand, I'll get on with this matter soon."
"Alright, let's stop talking about those unpleasant things and do something we love."
.....
Zhang Yang has fallen into the trap of proving his innocence, so he needs to take the initiative.
Upon arriving at Starry Sky Pictures, Zhang Yang called over his assistant, Sun Yu, and instructed him, "Sun Yu, organize the video footage that I had you arrange for a photographer to follow me."
Sun Yu was somewhat puzzled: "Boss, those are just your most ordinary daily routines on set..."
Zhang Yang smiled meaningfully: "It's all about the most ordinary daily life. Authenticity is often hidden in the most mundane details."
And just like that, a lot of videos of Zhang Yang's daily life being secretly filmed by fans suddenly appeared online. Well, this is the early development of the fan-shot video industry. I just don't know if it will give rise to the proxy shooting industry.
These "fan-perspective" videos are quite fragmented, showing glimpses of Zhang Yang's daily life, such as repeatedly studying lines, a figure sweating profusely in a gym late at night, or someone practicing vocalization in a recording studio.
These seemingly ordinary contents make Zhang Yang seem more real, as if he were a friend living next to you.
Subsequently, Zhang Yang employed a major relocation tactic, creating other hotspots to dilute the focus of his attacks.
In the early hours of the next day, the entertainment industry was rocked by a major earthquake.
First, a well-known gossip blogger exposed various scandals involving artists from Huayi Brothers. As for the provider of these scandals, it was naturally our good Sister Hua. After all, she has been with Huayi for so many years, if she didn't have some scandals on her hands, wouldn't she have wasted her time?
Of course, this can also be seen as Wang Jinghua's way of repaying Zhang Yang for giving her a share of the investment in "The Heirs".
With a series of scandals being exposed, Wang Xiaoer's phone was ringing off the hook. He was overwhelmed and exhausted from dealing with two crises, leaving him no time to focus on his plans against Zhang Yang.
At this crucial moment, Zhang Yang gave an exclusive interview to Entertainment Weekly. During the interview, he seemingly casually remarked, "I think the most important thing for an actor is sincerity. Sincerity towards the work, sincerity towards the audience, and sincerity towards oneself."
These words were interpreted by fans as a response to the recent controversy.
The topic of "Zhang Yang's Sincerity" went viral online overnight.
What's even more interesting is that on the same day the interview was published, a reputable film and television magazine published an interview with Liu Junjie, the director of "My Love from the Star," who specifically mentioned: "Zhang Yang is one of the most dedicated young actors I have ever met. He can go through a single shot twenty times over."
After a series of well-coordinated actions, the uproar and doubts on the internet have quietly subsided, and Wang Xiaoer of Huayi was thoroughly scolded by Boss Wang.
.....
Yang Mi sat in the conference room on the top floor of Rongxinda, her fingertips icy cold. The gray sky outside the window mirrored her mood.
Opposite her was Li Shaohong, one of the founders of Rongxinda, who was leisurely brewing tea, with wisps of white steam rising from the purple clay teapot.
Li Shaohong pushed a cup of tea in front of her: "Mimi, the company has treated you well, hasn't it? Now that you've grown wings, you want to fly away?"
You think I've treated me well? Giving me a maid role in "The Dream of Red Mansions" is considered treating me well? Do you think I'm stupid?
Of course, I can't say these things aloud; I can only grumble in my heart.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Yang Mi said, "Aunt Li, I just want a change of scenery."
"A change of scenery?"
Li Shaohong chuckled: "You've found a new client, haven't you?"
