Stars of China Entertainment

Cheng Shuo crossed his legs and rested them on the table very casually.

After working hard for several months, he finally had some free time.

Movie invitations and scripts have piled up in his mailbox and desktop, but he doesn't even have the mood to take a look at them.

Having just experienced the great film and television year of 2010, the mainland film industry needs a year to catch its breath and settle down.

On his side, he was holding up his corpse, while the other members of the Sugar Man team were vigorously promoting "Xiu Chun Dao".

The company has been preparing for the film from post-production to release, and has continued to promote it, so it is bound to achieve good results.

Cheng Shuo is not worried at all. In his previous life, "Xiu Chun Knife 1" won 96 million at the box office without any publicity. This time, with Sugar Man spending heavily on publicity and even removing a fly, the box office results are certain.

A rising tide will lift all boats.

"Dingling bell~"

Cheng Shuo glanced at his phone and said that a fly has arrived.

When she picked up the phone, Yang Mi's voice was slightly sulky.

"Didn't Lao Hu deliver the message to me? Why didn't you call me?"

"I just woke up."

"It's already one o'clock in the afternoon."

Yang Mi angrily exposed Cheng Shuo's lies, "Forget it, take a look at the script now."

Cheng Shuo said helplessly, "Okay, I watched it."

"You didn't read it. There wasn't even a sound of turning the page."

"Didn't you send an email? Why is there the sound of turning pages?"

Yang Mi said angrily: "I sent a paper copy yesterday, look at the desktop."

Cheng Shuo has been busy for several months, and the scripts on his desk have piled up in the shape of a hill.

I wanted to just pretend to flip through it and get through it, but I didn't expect that this "Tiny Times" was right on the top.

He picked it up and turned it over a few times, making a splashing sound, "Do you hear it now?"

"I don't believe it, just start the video."

Cheng Shuo turned on the computer helplessly, and the video invitation suddenly lit up in the lower right corner.

After clicking it, Yang Mi's forehead was immediately reflected in the screen.

"let me see."

Cheng Shuo shook the script, and after seeing the three words "Little Times", Yang Mi calmed down.

"This script is terrible, but it's pretty good."

What she said was contradictory, but Cheng Shuo knew what she meant.

The movie is bad, has no depth, and is frivolous, but it can easily become popular.

To use a later cliché, this was deliberately provoking public anxiety.

To a certain extent, now that the mainland is developing so fast, this kind of restless movie has emerged to take advantage of the audience's yearning for life and wealth.

Yang Mi's vision is indeed accurate, and her choices are also very wise.

She had been in many TV series before this, and most of them were terrible.

It's just that the release of these dramas has not affected her reputation at all, and she has appeared on major TV stations through her production.

Even though "Palace" aroused criticism from some people, she also gained popularity.

Now she sees this drama more accurately, and the director has black spots on her. No matter how bad the effect she presents, the audience can't blame her.

"Oh, thank you, I don't need it."

Cheng Shuo pretended to be polite and made a shooting gesture with his hands. The script then drew a perfect arc in the air and fell into the trash can.

Yang Mi saw all his actions, but he was not the least bit annoyed.

She held her chin and said, "If you don't like it, forget it."

Yang Mi looked at Cheng Shuo and hesitated to speak.

"If it's okay, I'll hang up."

Yang Mi immediately asked: "What are your recent shooting arrangements?"

"There is a youth idol drama."

Yang Mi's eyes lit up, "What story?"

"It is a youth idol romance drama that revolves around campus and workplace."

"Take me one?"

Cheng Shuo twitched his lips and said, "Forget it."

"Who do you look down on?" Yang Mi frowned, "I still have acting skills in idol dramas."

"That's not what I mean." Cheng Shuo shook his head, "Don't think too much about it."

Yang Mi's expression softened, but before she could speak, Cheng Shuo continued: "I just think you are a bit old and not suitable for campus idol dramas..."

"Cheng Shuo, it belongs to your uncle!"

Cheng Shuo picked his ears and hung up the call expressionlessly.

Now this person doesn't want to hear the truth.

...

"To be honest, you are already past the stage of making TV series."

Ning Hao looked at Cheng Shuo, his tone full of sincerity.

He is a man of his word. When he said he would help Cheng Shuo form a team, he actually formed a team.

But that doesn't mean he is willing.

On the one hand, I want Cheng Shuo to give up this idea, on the other hand, I also think that Cheng Shuo should really take more steps towards the big screen.

So many people want to make a name for themselves on the big screen, but the more he lives, the more he makes moves.

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice."

Cheng Shuo didn't have that much fuss when facing him, so he spoke sarcastically.

He has been in the film industry for a long time and does not have such an accurate grasp of the context of the Internet.

Now that the ratings are declining year by year, offline results will eventually be borne by online.

With the entry of major Internet companies, TV dramas will always have a second spring on online platforms.

Moreover, compared to TV stations, advertising placement on webcast platforms is more direct and convenient.

It used to be that when I watched a drama, I could change the channel when it got to commercials, but now you can’t even think about continuing to watch it until you finish watching the commercials.

With VIP membership and advance on-demand viewing, the Internet thinking of these people is clearly revealed when they calculate how much money the audience has in their pockets.

It is also because it is easier to invest in advertising, which has also given rise to many TV dramas with large investments.

A TV series worth tens of millions per episode was unimaginable in the past. It would be even better if all this money could be used in addition to the actors' remuneration.

The main business of Sugar Man is TV series, so this line must not be lost.

"Who did you recommend to take the photo?"

Ning Hao blew out a smoke ring and said, "Jin Yimeng."

Cheng Shuo recalled it in his mind before recalling it.

The director of "One Night Surprise" was shortlisted for the short film section of the Cannes Film Festival with "The Seventeenth Man" in 2004.

Although she has not many works, she is the first female director in the industry to have a box office of over 100 million.

"She originally didn't want to take it, but she saw that your script had elements of suspense."

Ning Hao couldn't stand the script of the TV series at all, and he didn't know how the script was so good that it made Jin Yimeng's attitude change so quickly.

"Okay." Cheng Shuo confirmed the date, "I will find a good person at the end of the month, discuss the theme song, and start shooting at the beginning of next month."

"Are you in such a hurry? Are you rushing to reincarnate?"

Ning Hao was dressed in casual clothes, with a vest and pants and sandals. Compared with Cheng Shuo, he seemed to have completely lost his life.

Something's wrong. Isn't your 20s the most decadent time? When I was at his age, I thought about how to be lazy every day. Why is he so motivated?

Cheng Shuo sighed, "It's already 2011."

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Cheng Shuo glanced at this decadent man and said, "I haven't become..."

Cheng Shuo rubbed his forehead, he couldn't quite describe his goal.

Actor? Number one? Artist?...or all of them?

Ning Hao was eagerly waiting for the last part of his sentence, but saw him stop, "Tell me, what do you want to be?"

Cheng Shuo said impatiently: "I want to be your father."

Ning Hao sneered, "He's a big star, but his speaking skills are so poor."

"Then tell me something of a high standard."

"Just say, I want to make waves in the industry and become a trendsetter in the next era."

Cheng Shuo gave a thumbs up: "Quite good."
