HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Shanghai, Tangren Media Headquarters.

Cai Yinong frowned as she looked at the work report below.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy is releasing next week, why hasn't the promotion for Hu Ge and Liu Yifei started yet?"

"Ugh!"

Li Guoli sighed and said:

"Everything is ready, but we haven't received Liu Yifei's confirmation letter yet. We've urged her several times, but it seems like she doesn't quite agree with the idea of ​​hyping up her relationship with Brother Hu."

"Wasn't a lot cut out? There's not much substantial content left, so why does she disagree?"

Cai Yinong was very annoyed.

"She's currently in her rising phase, so she needs to maintain a pure and innocent image."

Li Guoli guessed.

"snort!"

Cai Yinong slammed her hand on the table in anger.

"This Liu Yifei, I invited her to join Tangren so sincerely before, but she made excuses all the time. Now she's not even cooperating with the publicity. She's really going too far."

Hearing this, Li Guoli remained silent. He knew that normally, artists would have to cooperate with each other in post-event publicity, which was stipulated in the contract.

However, subsequent announcements based on rumors or romances are not within the scope of the contract.

After all, that wasn't a normal post-announcement.

After Cai Yinong chose this theme and announced it, even if Liu Yifei didn't cooperate, she could only verbally scold her, but in reality, she didn't have any other way to deal with Liu Yifei.

Sure enough, Cai Yinong understood this as well.

After venting her frustrations, she looked at Li Guoli and asked:

"By the way, how did the negotiations with Liu Shishi go?"

"No problem."

Li Guoli flipped through the information and said, "As long as we give her a role in 'Young Warriors of the Yang Clan' and promise to arrange at least one drama with a female lead within three years, she can come to Tangren."

"good!"

Cai Yinong looked at Liu Shishi's photo, nodded in satisfaction, and instructed Li Guoli:

"The packaging of Liu Shishi will follow the path of 'Little Liu Yifei'."

"Hmph, if Liu Yifei won't come to Tangren, then I'll just promote another one myself and completely overshadow her."

After finishing the arrangements, Cai Yinong picked up the phone again and called Xu Lang.

The call connected quickly, and Xu Lang's voice came from the other end.

"Oh, Mr. Cai, you're calling me. Is it because my commission payment is finally coming in?"

Hearing Xu Lang urging for money, Cai Yinong cursed inwardly, but still spoke aloud.

"Teacher Xu, you really know how to calculate. Part of the money has arrived. Don't worry, I'll transfer the rest to you as soon as the accounts are settled. Don't worry, we're people who do big things, you can't be shortchanged on this little bit of money."

"Haha, then I'll trouble you to do the work for me, Mr. Cai."

"It's nothing, you're too kind."

After exchanging pleasantries, Cai Yinong got down to business.

"Mr. Xu, my company has a new drama series about to start production. Could you, as a genius cinematographer, offer some guidance?"

"Guidance? Mr. Cai, you must be joking. I don't have that kind of ability!"

"Haha, you're being modest, aren't you?"

Cai Yinong put away her jokes and said seriously:

"Xu Lang, seriously, no joke, my new drama 'New Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio' is about to start production. Can you come and take some costume photos and promotional photos for my actresses?"

Don't worry, you'll get your money back.

"The New Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?"

Upon hearing this name, Xu Lang was genuinely intrigued.

This is another major drama series launched by Tangren Media after "Chinese Paladin 1".

The series is presented in an episodic format, and the cast includes Lin Zhiying, Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Yang Mi, Hu Ge, Tang Ning, Huo Siyan, and others, making it a gathering of beautiful women and stars.

With a thought, Xu Lang said:

"No problem, Mr. Cai, I'll be there anytime you need me."

"Okay, then I'll reserve the visual director position for you for this show."

The two talked on the phone and verbally confirmed the matter.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang was thinking about how to squeeze some people into "New Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio".

As she was thinking, she saw Park Shi-yeon walk over with a pout, looking very unhappy.

"Hey, who messed with our international friend? Look at that pouty mouth, I can't help but want to give it a kiss."

Hearing Xu Lang's words, Park Shi-yeon's face flushed slightly, but then she looked at Xu Lang, her eyes filled with sorrow and grievance.

"Xu Lang, do you hate me that much?"

"Um?"

Xu Lang was taken aback by her question.

"What are you talking about? Why do I hate you?"

Seeing Xu Lang feign ignorance, Park Shi-yeon felt even more wronged, and her eyes began to well up with tears.

"As a result, Manwen asked you to develop a relationship and create some hype, but you refused. You still say you don't hate me?"

Do you know how many people want to have a romantic relationship with me?

"Oh, so that's what it's about."

Xu Lang chuckled softly, thinking to himself,

"Could it be that Liu Manwen's methods didn't work, so now they're resorting to using their femininity?"

Xu Lang was right.

Last night, after reporting to the Korean headquarters, Li Manwen decided to let Park Shi-yeon personally take charge.

After all, the essence of hyping up relationships and scandals is to spend less money and invest less.

The common thought among all bosses is to take advantage of any opportunity to get something for free.

"Xiao Yan, this has nothing to do with you. It's just a publicity stunt by the company. It has nothing to do with whether you like it or not."

"Hmph, I think you're only unwilling to collaborate with me on this publicity stunt because you don't like me."

Park Si-yeon spoke angrily, as if her self-esteem had been hurt.

"ha!"

Xu Lang was at a loss.

Looking around and seeing that there wasn't much of a person nearby, he chuckled and whispered in Park Shi-yeon's ear:

"Xiao Yan, you're wrong. I not only don't dislike you, I like you a lot. After all, how could a normal man like me not be moved by a beauty like you?"

"What's the point of all this hype if you can't actually hug, kiss, or touch each other? Don't you think so?"

"Well..."

Xu Lang's words were blatant flirting.

Park Si-yeon's face flushed red after hearing this.

She looked at Xu Lang in disbelief, never expecting him to be so bold as to say such things to her.

Xu Lang, on the other hand, was all smiles, as if nothing had happened.

He figured it out: Park Shi-yeon's company wanted to take advantage of him for free, so why should he be polite?

This can be considered a form of retaliation!

Moreover, even if Park Si-yeon turns against him, there's no evidence, and she can't really cause any trouble.

Seeing Park Shi-yeon's face turn red, Xu Lang was waiting for her to lose her temper.

However, he underestimated the tolerance, or rather, the limits, of South Korean female celebrities.

This kind of "flirting" is a piece of cake for the Korean entertainment industry.

Park Shi-yeon blushed, partly from the accident, and partly from Xu Lang breathing so close to her ear.

She did indeed have some feelings for Xu Lang.

She was initially unsure, but after hearing Xu Lang's words, she became somewhat excited.

"So, he liked me too."

Thinking of this, instead of turning hostile, she said softly:

"Xu Lang, why don't you give it a try? Maybe we really can develop a relationship!"
