HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Inside the elevator.

Xu Lang took out the note that Liu Yan had given him and looked at it. After the name and phone number, there was a small flower drawn playfully, like a smiling face, smiling at him.

"This Liu Yan, back in 2004, probably hadn't even debuted yet; she was still a nurse."

The thought of being a nurse filled Xu Lang with a strange sense of excitement.

"This profession is great, wearing a full-body nurse's uniform, paired with this figure, how exciting!"

Thinking of this, he took out his phone, saved the number, and then sent Liu Yan a text message.

"My name is Xu Lang. It's nice to meet you, but I have to go now. Let's talk later."

Soon, Liu Yan sent back a text message.

"it is good."

Just then,

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened. Xu Lang didn't have time to overthink things. He straightened his clothes, wiped the wicked smile off his face, and strode towards the station director's office on the east side.

The office door was ajar, and the voices of two people could be heard coming from inside.

Xu Lang knew that it must be Director Wang who had returned.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and went inside.

The two people in the office, one the host and one the guest, were Wang Peng from Tianyu Media. Seeing Xu Lang enter, he pointed at Xu Lang and said with a smile:

"Battalion Commander, this is the young man I told you about, Xu Lang."

At this point, Wang Peng pointed to the person opposite him and introduced him to Xu Lang:

"Xu Lang, this is my former superior, the person in charge of 'Super Girl' and the founder of 'Happy Camp,' Director Wang Bingwen."

"Oh, Battalion Commander Wang, Godfather Wang, hello, hello."

Xu Lang quickly stepped forward and extended both hands to shake hands with Wang Bingwen.

As they shook hands, Wang Bingwen also sized up Xu Lang.

He still had some impression of Xu Lang, after all, Xu Lang's packaging of Zhang Hanyun and the song "Sour and Sweet Is Me" were both very successful.

In a way, Xu Lang has also made contributions to Hunan TV.

Thinking of this, Wang Bingwen patted Xu Lang's hand and said enthusiastically:

"Young man, I've seen the photos you took of Zhang Hanyun, as well as the planning. Not bad, not bad at all!"

Upon hearing this, before Xu Lang could speak, Wang Peng, who was sitting to the side, couldn't sit still any longer. He picked up an entertainment newspaper from the table next to him, handed it to Wang Bingwen, and said with a smile:

"Old Battalion Commander, I knew it! Your impression of Xu Lang is still stuck on the Super Girl finals. That's all ancient history. This is his latest work!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Wang Peng say this, Wang Bingwen became very curious.

"Could it be that this kid has some new work to create?"

Thinking of this, he picked up the newspaper that Wang Peng handed him and saw on the front page that it was a photo of Liu Yifei with "two immortals".

As the deputy director in charge of the station's flagship entertainment programs, he pays exceptional attention to the dynamics of the entertainment industry.

He knows this photo all too well.

In the past few days, this one photo has caused an uproar in the entire entertainment industry.

Whether it's the audience in the entertainment industry, or various media outlets, reporters, magazines, fashion circles, or celebrities, everyone seems to be on steroids, not hesitating to waste ink and space reporting on matters related to this photo.

Liu Yifei, this 17-year-old girl, is rising rapidly. Even before her two major works have been released, she is already showing signs of becoming a top-tier actress.

Meanwhile, both "Chinese Paladin" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" were highly anticipated even before their release.

Not only in the gaming and novel writing communities, but even ordinary viewers have started paying attention.

Looking at the entertainment newspaper in his hand, Wang Bingwen was somewhat surprised. He glanced at Xu Lang, then at Wang Peng beside him, and pointed to the photo of "One Man, Two Immortals."

"this..."

"Ha ha!"

Wang Peng laughed loudly, pointed at Xu Lang and then at Wang Bingwen.

"This is Xu Lang's latest work, and he also spearheaded this hype surrounding 'one person, two immortals.'"

"Whoa!"

Even Wang Bingwen, with his high status, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this moment.

He stood up and extended his hand to Xu Lang again.

"Xu Lang, good heavens, you are truly a force to be reckoned with! Your dual immortality is truly boundless, and you have turned the entire entertainment industry upside down."

Hearing Wang Bingwen's heartfelt praise, Xu Lang smiled modestly and said very politely:

"Master Wang, you flatter me. My work is just small-scale and cannot be compared with your work, which involves big projects."

As he spoke, Xu Lang extended his hand and shook hands with Wang Bingwen again.

"Sit down, please sit down."

This time, Wang Bingwen was much more enthusiastic and no longer sat in the main seat, but sat directly next to Xu Lang.

Holding the newspaper, he spoke to Xu Lang with eyes full of amazement.

"Your photo is absolutely stunning. All the photographers and related staff at our station, dozens of people in total, spent most of the day in a meeting to study and analyze it."

However, in the end, they still don't know how you filmed it.

"It would be a miracle if we knew!"

Xu Lang thought to himself, but spoke very modestly, shifting all the blame for things that were difficult to explain onto Liu Yifei.

"It has to be Liu Yifei who is amazing. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has great acting skills. She plays two roles and her expressions are very lifelike."

With the addition of costumes and props, this effect was only achieved by sheer luck.

After listening to Xu Lang's explanation, Wang Bingwen shook his head and continued to give Xu Lang a thumbs up.

"Young man, no need to be modest. All the photographers under my command have said that this photo has reached the pinnacle in terms of light and shadow, composition, color, and emotion. It is absolutely at the level of a master."

At this point, he looked at the photo in his hand again, clicking his tongue in admiration.

"However, what you said makes sense. Liu Yifei is indeed a rare talent."

Tsk tsk tsk, just look at this spiritual energy, you can tell that this golden carp is no ordinary fish.

In the future, she will definitely become a top-tier actress in China, and it wouldn't be surprising if she even goes international.

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Peng again, and teased him with a smile:

"You guys at EE-Media, can't you find some actresses like Liu Yifei? I still haven't seen Liu Yifei in person!"

Despite being teased by Wang Bingwen, Wang Peng didn't get angry. Instead, he pointed at Xu Lang and said:

"Want to see him in person? That's easy! Look, Xu Lang is coming right to your doorstep!"

"Oh?"

Wang Bingwen's eyes lit up as he looked at Xu Lang.

"Young man, what's going on? Tell me about it."

Now that things had come to this, Xu Lang had nothing left to hide and said directly:

"Battalion Commander Wang, I plan to bring the main creators and actors of 'Chinese Paladin' and 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' to our 'Happy Camp' for a joint episode."

As soon as Xu Lang finished speaking, Wang Bingwen's heart erupted like a volcano, surging with intense emotions.

"If we could get Liu Yifei, who is 'one person with two immortals', onto 'Happy Camp,' would I still have to worry about the ratings?"

With her current popularity, the ratings are guaranteed to be off the charts!

However, although he was excited inside, having weathered many storms, he showed no sign of it on his face, and even spoke with some difficulty.

"To promote TV dramas on our show?"

Hiss~~~!

He frowned, pinching his chin with one hand, looking very conflicted.

"I've never done this before?"

Besides, isn't this a clear indication that he's going to get dumped?

"If we let you defeat our flagship program, we're going to get criticized!"

Seeing Xu Lang's expressionless face, Wang Bingwen, afraid of frightening him, started to pull him back, glanced at Wang Peng, and added:

"However, given your relationship with President Peng, I can't very well refuse you."

But this cost...
