Actors, singers, idols, MCs, hosts...
On the stage, stars shine under the spotlight. The media chases them, fans support them, they are like idols high above.
But behind the brilliance,...
Chapter 240: The dog has nothing.
Wanda Cinema in CBD, Beijing North.
Although it is a weekday, there is still a long line at the entrance of the cinema.
Today is the premiere of the movie "Youth: You Are Still Here". Because of the popularity of the male and female protagonists Wu Fan and Liu Yifei, there are also many fans coming to the scene.
In the main hall of the event, the ceremony has not yet begun. The leading actors and creative staff of the movie are either chatting together or looking for invited guests and friends.
In the front row of the leading actor area, Li Qin sat absent-mindedly in her seat, looking at her phone from time to time, as if waiting for some news.
After looking at it several times, the WeChat chat box she was waiting for was still empty, which made her purse her lips.
"Li Qin."
Someone next to her called out, and Li Qin looked up and saw that it was Jin Shijia, the actor who played the second male lead in the same crew.
"Here's some water."
Jin Shijia handed over a bottle of water with a somewhat attentive smile on his face.
"Thank you, but I have it here."
Li Qin replied politely, taking out her own water bottle from the side and gestured.
"Ah... OK."
Rejected, Jin Shijia's smile froze, he chuckled dryly, and returned to his seat awkwardly.
Seeing him walk away consciously, Li Qin also breathed a sigh of relief.
When they were filming in the crew before, Jin Shijia had also been attentive, and it seemed like he wanted to pursue her.
This kind of thing is actually quite embarrassing for girls.
If you don't say it, it seems like tacit consent, giving people unrealistic fantasies.
But if you say it directly, the other party doesn't have any specific behavior, but it seems like you are being self-indulgent.
Li Qin's approach is to maintain a distant and polite attitude throughout the process. No matter what you say or do, I will ignore it.
Anyway, she didn't have many scenes, and it took only half a month to shoot. After the filming was completed, they didn't have much interaction.
Fortunately, the other party was also sensible. After hitting a soft nail twice, he stopped asking for trouble.
"Ha!"
After leaving a little dejected, Jin Shijia just sat down in her seat and suddenly heard someone around her snort and laugh.
Turning around and taking a look, it was the male lead of the movie, Wu Fan.
"What are you laughing at?" Jin Shijia asked with a frown.
Although they were all collaborators in a drama, their relationship was not very good.
He had always looked down on Wu Fan, who had no acting skills and abilities, and relied on traffic and face to get the resources of the protagonist.
"Nothing."
Wu Fan shook his head, but the smile on the corner of his mouth betrayed his thoughts.
Like the other party, he also looked down on Jin Shijia, who was arrogant all day long and said "I am awesome".
But the key is to look through his resume, and there is nothing to show for it?
Wu Fan himself is a "king of forcing", so he is very disgusted with people of the same kind.
Just now, this guy rushed to chat up, but ended up getting rejected, and he saw it all.
Although he was not interested in Li Qin - he liked younger girls - it didn't stop him from laughing at the joke.
Looking at the contemptuous expression on Wu Fan's face, Jin Shijia's eyes were filled with anger.
But even so, he took a deep breath and held back his emotions.
He comforted himself in his heart that this had nothing to do with the other party's popularity and traffic, but it was just not suitable to argue with the other party at this time.
He turned the water on his hand and took a sip of water. His anger subsided a little.
He couldn't help but look at Li Qin again. He suddenly found that she had swept away her usual cold expression and was looking at her phone with a bright smile on her face.
Then, she seemed to reply to a message, and then stood up and looked at the entrance of the theater with expectation.
Following her line of sight, he saw a young man in casual clothes walking in.
The man looked like a recent college graduate, but he had a mature temperament. Even in this situation full of media cameras and audiences, he still looked like he was strolling leisurely.
Looking at Li Qin again, it was obvious that she knew him, and her eyes brightened instantly. She took two steps forward and waved at him.
Fuck! Jin Shijia cursed inwardly, the girl who was cold to him was so proactive towards other men, this feeling was really fucked up.
Li Qin naturally didn't know that she had stabbed someone in the back again, of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
Now in her eyes, there was only Meng Bai who had just arrived at the scene.
After taking a few steps forward, Li Qin was about to say hello, but suddenly found a woman walking out and blocking the other person.
She subconsciously frowned, but then relaxed.
She had seen that woman before, her name was Chen Zhixi, and she was one of the producers of today's movie.
When she was chatting with Meng Bai before, she heard him mention that he was working with her.
As the boss of the company behind the scenes, it seemed that she should also say hello to her in an occasion like today.
Therefore, seeing Meng Bai's apologetic look, Li Qin smiled and indicated that it was okay, and asked him to get down to business first.
"Come on, Meng Bai, let me introduce someone to you."
Chen Zhixi pulled Meng Bai and walked to a middle-aged man wearing glasses: "This is our Ruyi chairman, Mr. Ke Liming."
"Haha, Mr. Meng's name, I have heard Mr. Chen mention it many times, and I have long wanted to meet him by chance."
Ke Liming smiled eagerly.
"No, I should have met Mr. Ke earlier." Meng Bai said politely.
Ke Liming is also quite amazing. He
started out as a book publisher in his early years. "Fleeting Time", "To Youth" and "House of Cards (Chinese version)" were all produced by him, and naturally the copyrights of related movies are also in his hands.
Of course, the most well-known achievement is the promotion of the song "Little Apple".
At the beginning, he found the team of Psy's "Horse Riding Dance" in "Gangnam Style" to design dance moves and MV for "Little Apple", and paired it with a magical brainwashing melody, making this song a hit "divine song" in 2014.
During the most popular period, dogs on the street would twist their body when they heard the melody.
"I heard that Mr. Meng is discussing cooperation with Huace Film and Television recently?" Ke Liming asked.
Meng Bai sighed in his heart, there are really no secrets in this circle. As long as he makes a little move, the news will spread immediately.
He did not hide the truth and nodded and said: "Indeed, there are many common ideas with Huace Film and Television in strategic planning, so let's see if we can deepen our cooperation."
In fact, it is no longer "negotiating" at present, but has basically been reached, and it is only the final details that need to be determined before it can be announced to the public.
As he said to Liu Jun before, with the blessing of "Breakup Leshi.com" and "'Green Ivy Series' IP", the value of Arc Light has greatly increased, and the other party agreed very quickly.
Ke Liming smiled and said, "In fact, we at Ruyi also have many film and television projects. If Mr. Meng is interested, let's have a meal together some other day and discuss it."
Ruyi Pictures not only makes movies, but also TV series.
Like Noon Sunshine's "No War in Peking" and "Langya Edition", they are both producers.
Meng Bai naturally agreed to Ke Liming's invitation.
Let's not talk about film and television projects. It's also good to deepen cooperation for the other party's film resources.
After a few more pleasantries, Ke Liming took Meng Bai to the main creative area of the film, saying that he would introduce him to the director of the crew.
"This is the director of our film this time, Zhou Tuoru, who was mainly engaged in advertising and micro-films before, and he is very strong."
Although he had never heard of this name, Meng Bai still greeted him seriously.
The track of youth film director is not easy, and many big directors started from this. Maybe
this is the next Guo Fan.
After the director was introduced, the leading actor of the movie came.
"I don't think this person needs an introduction."
Ke Liming pointed to the woman in front of him and said with a smile, "The lead actress of our movie, Ms. Liu Yifei."
