Chapter 391 Everyone Wants to Transform

After the ceremony, Deng Chao keenly noticed that his wife Sun Li looked strange, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Sun Li had a cold face and pointed to a female celebrity who was surrounded by several people not far away and said, "She is Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend?"

Deng Chao followed his wife's gaze and nodded in confirmation: "Yes, I remember her name is Yang Ying. Why are you asking about her suddenly?"

Sun Li snorted coldly, with dissatisfaction in her tone: "Just now, that girl winked at me and looked smug.

It's all your fault that Huang Xiaoming outshined you. You couldn't compete with her boyfriend in the audition, so he started showing off to me."

Deng Chao raised his eyebrows and responded: "I can't help it. The role of the male lead Cheng Dongqing is too cowardly and doesn't fit my image at all."

Sun Li rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Come on! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're definitely trying to get back at me later in the scene."

A few days ago, the crew of "Chinese Partners" held an open audition in the circle, and many male stars participated.

Deng Chao originally wanted to compete for the male lead, but unfortunately he was not chosen by the director. Fortunately, he finally got the role of the male second, so he did not return empty-handed.

Deng Chao shook his head indifferently: "It's like pie in the sky to get high-quality film resources for free. Tangren and Hu Ge have such a close relationship, but he only plays the third male lead. I can play the second male lead, so I should be happy."

"That's true." Sun Li looked around, seeing the stars shining in the backstage and the new generation of actors emerging one after another, and couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" would be so popular, I should have delayed having a child for two years."

Since "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was aired last year, although the ratings for the first broadcast were mediocre, it has received numerous praises for its excellent production and ups and downs of the plot.

As word of mouth continued to grow, the drama gradually became popular across the country and became a phenomenal hit.

Lines such as "I can't do it" and "Baojuan, my voice" have become classic internet memes, becoming popular all over the Internet and setting off a cultural trend.

Unfortunately, Sun Li, the leading actress, chose to return home to have a child when the show was at its peak, and missed many development opportunities.

Nowadays, competition in the entertainment industry is becoming increasingly fierce. The careers of several 85 flowers are booming, and other female stars of all ages are also desperately scrambling for resources and improving their status, which makes Sun Li feel more pressured.

This time, while the popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has not yet subsided, she came to participate in Weibo Night as soon as she was out of confinement, hoping to accumulate some popularity.

Deng Chao gently held his wife's hand and comforted her gently: "Don't think too much. This is God's gift to us. As for the resources for your postpartum comeback, leave it to me.

As for Hairun Films, you are the only actress who can be shown off at the moment, so they will definitely take the initiative to give you good resources."

Although Sun Li felt regretful, she felt that all her efforts were worth it when she thought of her angelic son: "My contract with Hairun will expire next year, and the company's resources are not so easy to get."

Deng Chao was confident: "Let's talk slowly. Nowadays, it is a general trend for celebrities to set up studios. If Hairun doesn't want to lose you, the top star, it will definitely take the initiative to talk to you about this."

Sun Li pondered over her husband's words and nodded in agreement: "I am not the top sister at all. That person is the real top sister in the entertainment industry!"

Deng Chao noticed that Zhao Liying, who had been talking to Liu Shishi, turned and left, and quickly suggested: "Let's go over and say hello to Sister Yi, she is the producer of "Hua Guo Partners"."

"She invested in this movie again? I heard that Huaying was not in the lead?" Sun Li was a little surprised. Due to her postpartum recuperation, she was a little unfamiliar with the recent developments in the entertainment industry.

"She was the one who made the decision!" Deng Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, speaking with deep thought, and couldn't help but tell the plan that was lingering in his mind.

"If you want to be a capital player in the entertainment industry, you have to get involved in film investment. The revenue from a movie like "Charlotte's Troubles" is equivalent to the salary of many movies!

When you make a comeback next year and your career is back on track, I plan to become a director."

Sun Li's eyes widened in surprise. This was the first time she heard about her husband's plan to direct. "Are you sure?"

"If Xu Zheng can do it, why can't I? A good actor can become a good director. We are almost reaching a bottleneck on the road of acting.

In the future, I will just have to accumulate experience and win awards, but that is not what I want. I have made up my mind and I must try to be a director and make movies!" Deng Chao's eyes were burning, and he exuded an unquestionable aura.

“But will anyone invest in you?”

"Xu Zheng is a ready-made example! I plan to ask Liu Shishi for investment. She has plenty of money, and 10 or 20 million is just a drop in the bucket for her. As long as the script is exciting, she will definitely be interested.

As long as Liu Shishi leads the investment, with this golden signboard, subsequent financing will come naturally!" Deng Chao looked determined, and it was obvious that he had been planning for a long time.

"I know what to do." Sun Li seemed to be thinking about something. For the sake of her husband's career plan, she secretly figured out how to please Sister Yi and get closer to her.

Just as the couple was about to go up and talk to Liu Shishi, there was suddenly a commotion from the direction of the red carpet.

After some inquiries from the audience, they found out that just now, Jia Nailiang proposed to Li Xiaolu in public in front of the media reporters.

Going back to a quarter of an hour ago, after Li Xiaolu and Jia Nailiang stepped onto the red carpet, she noticed something was wrong with her boyfriend and her body was shaking slightly.

After calming down his excitement and answering his girlfriend's questions, Jianailiang's steps became lighter and his eyes were full of longing when he thought of the plan that was about to be implemented.

At the autograph wall, the two interacted with the red carpet host and then took a group photo in front of the camera.

Just as Li Xiaolu was about to walk off the stage, Jia Nailiang suddenly knelt on one knee and took out an exquisite gift box from the inside pocket of his suit. The dazzling diamond ring shone brightly under the flash lights.

After the passionate confession, Jia Nailiang stared at his sweetheart, and his voice trembled: "Lu Lu, marry me, okay?"

The reporters in the audience frantically pressed their shutters, and shouted, "Marry him!"

Li Xiaolu covered her mouth, surprised and happy, but a hint of hesitation flashed through her mind. She was not in a hurry to get married.

But at this moment, in front of everyone, she remembered that Jia Nailiang was always obedient to her. Due to the occasion, she finally slowly stretched out her hand and accepted her boyfriend's proposal.

Jia Nailiang was overjoyed and trembling as he put the diamond ring on his girlfriend's finger. With the blessings of reporters and hosts, the two kissed passionately and instantly became the focus of the entire audience.

When the news reached the backstage, Sun Li chuckled: "Jia Nailiang and Li Xiaolu's proposal will definitely be on the hot search list and earn a wave of traffic."

Deng Chao couldn't help but think of the time when he publicly confessed his love to Sun Li at the MTV ceremony and thus offended Feng Xiaogang.

"It may not be a good thing. There are still so many first-line stars who haven't walked the red carpet yet. If they do this, it will definitely divert a lot of traffic."

Sun Li instantly understood what her husband meant. This Weibo Night was very grand and the red carpet segment attracted much attention.

Several first-line actresses have borrowed haute couture dresses from high-end luxury brands with which they have good relationships, and are waiting to make a stunning appearance on the red carpet, becoming a hot topic on Weibo to build momentum for the brands and consolidate their cooperative relationships.

However, the sensational proposal of Jia Nailiang and Li Xiaolu was bound to attract attention and occupy a leading position in hot searches, which became an eyesore in the eyes of the first-line actresses who were about to walk the red carpet.

"It has nothing to do with us, let's go find Liu Shishi!" Deng Chao took his wife's hand and was about to step forward, but someone got there first.

Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying finished their chat and were about to return to VIP Room No. 1 when suddenly a man blocked her way.

"Hello, Mr. Liu. I am Guo Jingming, the editor-in-chief of Zuixin Xiaoshuo magazine."

The person who came was short, estimated to be less than 1.6 meters tall, much shorter than Liu Shishi who was wearing high heels.

After hearing the other party introduce himself, Yijie immediately remembered the identity of the person in front of her. This was a new and cutting-edge writer who was as famous as her husband in his early years. So she politely asked: "Hello, Mr. Guo, what can I do for you?"

Time was running out, so Guo Jingming got straight to the point: "Mr. Liu, I plan to adapt the novel Tiny Times into a movie, and I will be the director. I would like to invite you to play the leading female role."

Yijie was startled. She didn't expect that the other party was here to invite her to make a movie. "Sorry, Mr. Guo, I don't have any time recently."

Guo Jingming did not give up and said sincerely: "Mr. Liu, I don't have time in the first half of the year, but what about the second half? I can wait."

Liu Shishi explained helplessly: "Mr. Guo, thank you for your kindness, but I can't spare the time this year."

Guo Jingming was skeptical: "No schedule for the whole year?"

Yijie nodded seriously. She did not deceive Guo Jingming. She had to shoot "Silent Shorthand" in the first half of the year, promote "Xuan-Yuan Sword" during the summer vacation, and be busy preparing for the wedding in the second half of the year. She was not planning to take any acting jobs.

Guo Jingming was disappointed, but still held on to a glimmer of hope: "Mr. Liu, I will send the script of Tiny Times to your studio email. If you change your mind, the leading female role of the movie will be reserved for you at any time."

Liu Shishi was a little amused and helpless about Guo Jingming's persistence.

Considering that the other party was a writer who was as famous as her husband in his early years, she still gave him some face: "Mr. Guo, it's really possible to make a movie, but if you need investment, I can help."

Seeing that Yi Jie really didn't want to film "Tiny Times", Guo Jingming sighed softly: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for the investment."

"Mr. Guo, I have something else to do. Let's talk another day!" Liu Shishi was afraid of being pestered, so she left in a hurry.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. The scene where Guo Jingming invited Liu Shishi to film a movie was seen by Deng Chao and his wife and Yang Mi.

Deng Chao's transformation into a director is even more so now. Guo Jingming, a layman, can cross over to become a director and make movies, so why can't he do it!

Yang Mi became more active. Liu Shishi had abundant resources and could tailor-make any movie or TV series she wanted to shoot, but she lacked film resources, so she took the initiative to talk to Guo Jingming and prepared to recommend herself.

There are no secrets in the entertainment industry, not to mention that this is a public place.

Soon, the news that writer Guo Jingming invited Yi Jie to make a movie but was rejected spread throughout the entire after-the-ceremony area. Several female stars became interested and came forward to talk to Guo Jingming.

When Liu Shishi returned to VIP Room No. 1, she was slightly stunned by the sight of the room full of guests. She quickly stepped forward, took her husband's arm, and asked curiously, "Honey, who are they?"

Zhang Zhao beside him quickly introduced the boss lady: "Madam, these are Mr. Yang, Mr. Lin, Mr. Xiang, and Mr. Jiang from Xiangjiang."

Liu Shishi understood instantly that the four people in front of her were the helmsmen of several major film and television companies in Hong Kong.

The four of them greeted each other quickly. "Mrs. Song." "Madam!"

Liu Shishi was very graceful and responded gracefully: "Good evening, everyone."

Song Ci said at the right time: "My wife and I still have something to discuss, so please go back first. Thank you for coming to Weibo Night. We are like one family, and we will cooperate more in the future."

The four Hong Kong tycoons exchanged a few more words with the richest man, then said goodbye and returned to their own lounge.

The door closed gently, and Song Ci chuckled: "You are quite sensible! This is good, the martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, and this way Director Wang and I can explain it."

Liu Shishi could no longer suppress her curiosity: "Husband, what are they doing here?"

Zhang Zhao explained to Yijie in an excited tone: "Madam, they are here to admit their mistakes and make peace! Since the last confrontation between the entertainment circles of the two places, let them completely face the reality. If they want to expand the market in the north, they must abide by our rules!"

Song Ci said calmly, "These companies only have some value in terms of distribution channels."

Before the first sister asked, Zhang Zhao took the initiative to explain: "In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong films were popular in Asia.

With this favorable wind, companies such as Le An Pictures and Emperor Entertainment have established distribution channels in Southeast Asia and other regions.

This time they gave in and offered their overseas channels as compensation. In this way, Tenda can have its own distribution channels throughout Asia.”

Liu Shishi suddenly realized and understood the whole story. In short, the Hong Kong circle gave up some of its interests and made peace with Tengda.

Zhang Zhao tactfully resigned, leaving the space to the boss and his wife.

There were only two people left in the room. Liu Shishi smiled sweetly, sat on her husband's lap, and put her arms around his neck. Just as she was about to be intimate with the handsome Song, there was a knock on the door, and she got up in a hurry.

"Come in."

After getting permission, Secretary Jian Ning pushed open the door and said, "Director Song, Mr. Liu Xiangdong is here."

"Why is Brother Dong here?" Liu Shishi looked at Liu Xiangdong, who was wearing a neat suit outside the door, and was a little puzzled.

"The influence of Weibo is growing day by day. The awards of this year's Weibo Night are not limited to the entertainment industry, but also cover many fields such as finance and sports. Dong Ge is the most influential corporate leader on Weibo this year."

As Song Ci spoke, he walked forward and welcomed Liu Xiangdong into the room.

"Brother Dong!" "Director Song, sister-in-law!"

They were all old acquaintances, and after a few pleasantries they began to chat.

As JD.com grows stronger, Liu Xiangdong becomes more and more like a big boss, and he speaks with great force: "Mr. Song, JD.com is about to start its sixth round of financing, which will raise US$1.5 billion. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Song Ci thought for a moment and said, "If JD.com plans to go public on the U.S. stock market, this round of financing is crucial. It would be best to bring in a few North American shareholders."

Liu Xiangdong nodded in agreement. Song Ci's idea coincided with his: "Currently in North America, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan is willing to lead the investment, and Tiger Fund will follow suit."

"Very good! Brother Dong, you can make the decision on the financing matter." Song Ci knew that Liu Xiangdong always had his own ideas. Since he promised not to interfere in the business when he invested, it would be inappropriate for him to interfere too much.
