Chapter 263 The Fourth Generation

In mid-June, an even hotter wave swept through the entertainment industry.

Tangren Film and Television officially announced that its leading actress and the company's top sister Liu Shishi has established her own film and television culture studio.

As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar inside and outside the entertainment industry, and major media, fan groups and industry insiders all focused on it.

Different from Fan Bingbing, Qiao Zhengyu, Zhou Xun and others who opened their own studios before, they are all veteran first-line talents with complex network resources, so they have the courage and confidence to work alone.

Liu Shishi is the first of the new generation of stars to set up a studio, and her influence is huge.

The establishment of a star studio means that artists transform from "employees" of traditional brokerage companies to "bosses" of independent operations.

Celebrities can more easily participate in film and television investment, sign new talents, and develop derivative businesses, thereby increasing their control over their own career development.

Any star with a little ambition would want to own his or her own studio and make a gorgeous transition to capital.

Now that Liu Shishi has taken the lead, the new generation of young actresses and actors are also getting excited, and the landscape of the entertainment industry seems to be quietly changing.

In a high-end hotel in Donghai, Cai Yinong specially prepared an internal celebration cocktail party to celebrate Yijie’s establishment of her own studio.

The banquet venue was decorated in a warm and elegant manner, with balloons and ribbons creating a festive atmosphere. At this moment, the senior management and all employees of Tangren Film and Television were present.

On the stage, the lights were dazzling. Liu Shishi, wearing an exquisite evening gown, her face full of confidence and composure, was giving a speech, expressing her vision and determination for her future career word by word.

"...Here, I would like to especially thank Sister K and everyone for their strong support. It is you who have accompanied me through the ups and downs and made me who I am today..."

Cai Yinong was standing in the audience, seeing the thunderous applause from the audience. Everyone's eyes were on Yi Jie. He couldn't help but feel emotional. The soft and sweet little girl back then has now grown into the mainstay of Tangren Film and Television.

After Liu Shishi finished her speech, she walked off the stage with her skirt slightly lifted, came to Cai Yinong and Hu Ge and breathed a sigh of relief. She was still not used to such a noisy and lively scene.

"Master, congratulations. I toast you."

Hu Ge's carefully combed hair was shining brightly, his face was beaming with joy, and he raised his wine glass to toast and congratulate his junior sister.

A fire of hope ignited in his heart. Sister Yi already had her own studio, so how could his studio be far away?

"Thank you!" Liu Shishi smiled as bright as a flower. She took the glass of champagne brought by the waiter, clinked glasses happily with Hu Ge, and took a sip.

"Shishi, let's have one too. Congratulations." Yuan Hong on the side had a look of envy on her face, with a hint of desire in her eyes.

Although he debuted early, his status has always been low, and he is still a long way from opening his own studio. Even Hu Ge is almost there, let alone himself.

He and Hu Ge both understood that Sister K had always been coaxing and praising Liu Shishi. After all, there was a great god behind Sister Yi. As long as the little junior sister was kept in Tangren, many benefits would be brought invisibly.

Yijie was elegant, with a gentle smile on her face, and she clinked glasses with Yuan Hong: "I also wish your "Tianya Zhinu" a big hit."

Speaking of her new drama, Yuan Hong's heart was moved, recalling the splash screen she saw on the "Toutiao" app on her mobile phone that day. The promotional effect of "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" was unexpectedly good, and the number of her Weibo fans increased a lot.

I thought that if "Tianya Zhinu" could receive such recommended treatment, the ratings would probably not be a huge hit, but at least be above average.

So Yuan Hong plucked up her courage, put on a flattering smile, and begged eagerly:

"Shishi, the splash screen promotion effect of "Chinese Paladin III" on mobile phones is really great. Can you help me think of a way to make one for "Tianya Zhinu" as well?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Ge's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yi Jie with anticipation. He also has a new drama "Bitter Coffee" to be broadcast, and he also hopes to have such novel and eye-catching publicity.

Liu Shishi shook her head and refused directly: "The splash screen push promotion of "Chinese Paladin III" is a special case, and it is also a test for Tengda Group to see the effect. Mr. Song asked me to get a bargain.

This situation will not happen again in the future. Tenda takes this kind of splash screen recommendation very seriously. Too many of them will inevitably affect customers' experience of the app."

Yuan Hong was disappointed: "I understand."

Cai Yinong, on the other hand, had a lot of ideas. He caught the key information and asked, "Tenda's use of app flash screens must be converted into commercial benefits. Don't you accept normal business cooperation?"

"We will accept commercial cooperation, but the price is very high, and there are strict requirements on the types and quality of the products pushed. If you are interested, Ms. K, I will ask for the details for you next time."

Cai Yinong nodded slightly. Forget about "Tianya Zhinu". The cast and plot setting are very average. It doesn't have the potential to be a big hit and is not worth the high price.

As for the new drama of the No. 1 actress next year, if conditions permit and some funds are spent, the last splash screen promotion on "Toutiao" would be worthwhile.

Everyone gathered together and started chatting. Hu Ge asked with a smile, "What has Mr. Song been busy with recently? There has been no news about him on Weibo or in the financial news recently?"

Liu Shishi sighed: "He stays in the company every day, busy with that green bubble, like he is possessed. No matter what I say, he won't listen."

"Is that the chat tool you recommended us to install that day?"

“Yes, it’s WeChat.”

“It’s a very good app, very convenient to use.”

Currently, there is only one chat software on the market that is specifically for mobile phones. After trying WeChat, Hu Ge was full of praise for it.

Cai Yinong looked at Yijie's resentful look and couldn't help but tease her, "Look at your expression! Mr. Song is a man who can do great things. You have to understand him.

He is so concerned about this new software, I think it is very important to Tengda Group. Maybe it is a software that is no less important than Weibo. "

Liu Shishi is extremely worried about her fiancé's recent day and night busy schedule: "I know he has lofty ambitions, I'm just worried about his health, just like the last time he came back from Switzerland, the facts proved that he can get sick, he is not made of iron."

Cai Yinong patted Yijie on the shoulder and said, "The filming of 'Go Lala's Promotion' has also been completed. You don't have anything important to do recently. Just go back and take good care of him tomorrow."

Sister Yi nodded vigorously, wishing she could grow a pair of wings and fly back to Peking immediately: "That's the only way. It will be better if I'm around. Mr. Song won't be so sleepless."

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you! WeChat hasn't been officially launched yet. When it goes online next month, you guys have to help me promote it."

Yuan Hong took the lead and never missed such an opportunity to sell good things: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to help promote it."

Hu Ge also made an OK gesture and responded readily: "It is my duty."

Liu Shishi smiled widely, and was very satisfied with the attitude of the two senior brothers: "Thank you! I'll go somewhere else to toast and come back soon."

After saying that, Yijie turned around gracefully and walked to a place not far away to toast with Li Guoli and other directors and behind-the-scenes team members.

At this moment, in a secluded corner of the venue, a young girl with a beautiful youthful face was holding a slightly old mobile phone and making a phone call, arguing fiercely with a stubborn look on her face.

"Sister, I'm grown up now and can share the pressure of the family."

On the other end of the phone, the little girl's sister was extremely anxious: "Naza, you are only 17 years old, not yet an adult. The world outside is not as simple as you think. Come home quickly. Dad and Mom are very worried about you."

"No!" The little girl bit her lip and shook her head, "Dad's illness requires a lot of money for surgery, and I need to make money now.

Sister, don't worry, I'm doing well in Donghai. Today a film and television company held a cocktail party and invited models to walk the runway to warm up the audience. They gave us 300 yuan each for appearance fees."

"Naza, why are you so rebellious now? How old are you and you want to be a model?"

It would have been fine if the little girl didn't say anything, but once she did, her sister became extremely nervous. If someone with ulterior motives targeted her sister's appearance, she would definitely suffer a great loss.

"Sister, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to be busy."

"Don't hang up, Naza, tell me where you are. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

The little girl held the phone tightly and begged: "Sister, I'm really fine. I will go back to Northern Xinjiang when I make enough money during the summer vacation."

After saying that, she gritted her teeth, wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, and hung up the phone cruelly. She ran away from home without saying goodbye this time just to earn some money for her father's medical treatment.

The family relies on my sister's income as a flight attendant, and there is no money to treat my father's illness, which can only get worse.

Now she works as a model, shoots a print advertisement, and participates in some fashion shows, which can bring her a lot of income and reduce the burden on her family.

After Yijie left, Cai Yinong was a little tipsy from the lively cocktail party, so he wanted to find a quiet place to sober up and catch his breath.

So he said something to Hu Ge and walked to the corner of the hall.

When I came to a secluded corner, I saw a little girl wiping her tears. I was curious and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, the other party looked up and was very surprised. Isn't this the female CEO who just spoke on the stage and the organizer of today's banquet? She hurriedly greeted politely: "Hello, Mr. Cai!"

When he saw the little girl's appearance clearly, Cai Yinong was immediately stunned. The little girl had a delicate oval face with clear and smooth facial contours, like a carefully crafted work of art.

Her eyes are big and bright, with just the right amount of double eyelids and pointed eye corners. Although she is still young and immature, she reveals a unique charm and mystery.

The facial features are three-dimensional and deep, yet feminine and soft, with a unique exotic style. This appearance is really bright and moving, making people unforgettable.

"This face! What a great talent!" Cai Yinong couldn't help but praise.

If we say that Sister Yi's appearance is a representative of the light color system, it is like a gurgling stream, gentle and tender, giving a feeling of peaceful years.

The girl in front of him was a typical girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, bright and elegant, like a blazing flame, the extreme of two styles.

All of a sudden, an idea came to her mind. She wanted to sign the little girl to Tangren Film and Television and train her to be the top star of the fourth generation.

"It's great that you know me! Little girl, why are you crying here?" Cai Yinong said with a pleasant face, trying his best to appear friendly and amiable in order to win the favor of the little girl.

The little girl was obviously inexperienced and was a little nervous when asked. She said in a soft voice, "My father is sick, I ran away secretly because I wanted to make money, but my sister insisted that I go back."

When Cai Yinong heard this, he thought to himself that it was a good thing that she had difficulties. It was obvious that the girl's family was not well off, otherwise she wouldn't have been thinking about making money to help her family at such a young age.

If she was like Sister No. 1 Liu Shishi, who was childhood sweethearts with the richest man, and then met the type of man who had no desires or demands, she would not dare to sign the contract.

But the girl in front of me is completely different. Having experienced the hardships of life, she knows the benefits of money and will devote herself wholeheartedly to her career instead of thinking about looking for a man out of love.

As the president of Tangren Film and Television, she firmly believes that she will not make a mistake this time. She must cultivate a new generation of top actress who is dedicated to her career and open up a new world for the company.

"Your family is concerned about you, too. What's your name? Where are you from? How old are you this year?"

Perhaps sensing Cai Yinong's kindness, the girl did not hide anything and answered in full: "My name is Gulinaza, I'm from northern Xinjiang, and I'm 17 years old."

Cai Yinong nodded slightly. It turned out that he was from northern Xinjiang. No wonder he looked so exotic. Being a minor at 17 years old might be a little troublesome, but it was not a big problem. She was confident that she could convince the other party's parents.

Just based on this face, he is a rare talent. As long as he is carefully cultivated, he will definitely have a place in the entertainment industry in the future.

"That's right! I like you." Cai Yinong's eyes were burning, and he asked directly: "I won't beat around the bush with you, do you want to make money?"

"Yes!" Gulinazha nodded hurriedly. She dreamed of making money, otherwise why would she leave her hometown and travel thousands of miles to the East China Sea alone.

Cai Yinong said sincerely: "I'll be frank. You are very beautiful. I want to sign you to Tangren Films and train you to become a big star."

"Big star!" Gulinaza murmured, her beautiful eyes shining with longing and yearning, "Just like the sister on the stage just now?"

"Yes, Shishi is the leading actress of our Tangren Company. You can find out more about her online. She is very famous. If you join Tangren, I promise that the company will do its best to cultivate you."

Gulinaza's mind flashed back to the image of the Tangren No. 1 actress who had just appeared on the stage with all her grace and elegance, as if she was the focus of the whole world. A strong desire surged in her heart: "Boss Cai, I also want to be like my sister, or even surpass her."

Cai Yinong was slightly stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the little girl was so ambitious. Before she even joined Tangren Film and Television, she had already thought of "I can replace the senior sister Liu Shishi".

"Well, don't be too ambitious. You have to eat one bite at a time. If you want to be a big star, you have to learn how to act first. Only with excellent works can you become famous step by step.

Moreover, Shishi’s situation is quite special. If you want to be like her, not only do you have to be popular, but you also have to have a good eye for men.”

Gulinaza listened to Cai Yinong carefully. She nodded frequently at the first few sentences and felt that they made a lot of sense. It is true that nothing can be accomplished overnight.

But after hearing what happened, I was like, what kind of vision do you have when looking for a man? I was muttering to myself, I'm only 17 years old, I've never been in a relationship, what are you talking about when you're looking for a man? Is Tangren Films a legitimate company?
