Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Investment Promotion Conference

The celebration banquet was always lively and the atmosphere was relaxed, not to mention that Jiang Yiyu received good news halfway through the meal: "The Little Mermaid Who Mistakenly Became a Rich Family's Daughter" had passed the review, which meant that once the investment was confirmed, it would be scheduled for broadcast immediately.

Double good news! Those who had already placed orders at the barbecue restaurant added another case of wine to celebrate.

Jiang Yiyu posted the message in the group of the main creative team of "The Little Mermaid", and tagged the two leading actors who had not met much since the filming was completed, asking if they had time recently as they had to attend the investment promotion meeting.

He Shu responded very quickly. She was a little flattered after finishing filming Jiang Yiyu's scene. It was rare to meet such a poor yet rich crew. Rich refers to the costumes, and poor means that all other expenses are very frugal. The cooperation was very pleasant. After the filming was completed, He Shu lingered at home for a long time reminiscing about the past, and then came out to audition for the crew again and accepted a guest role.

She made it clear that everything would be arranged by Director Jiang, but Zhou Yu'an, a college student, was in a dilemma for a while.

After finishing filming, he returned to school to make up for his lessons, and then participated in a club activity to shoot a short film, in which he would serve as the leading male actor. It was said that the character was complicated and there were many shots designed. In addition to the fact that his role was difficult to play, there were also some off-site factors. There were huge contradictions in the division of labor within the club itself, and it was in the midst of a cast change and factional quarrels, so the filming progress was almost zero.

After listening to Zhou Yu'an's few words, it seemed that the excitement of the college students competing with each other was no less exciting than the mutual criticism in the entertainment industry. Everyone felt awe and was in awe.

Zhou Yu'an: "Director Jiang, please make the reservation first. When the time comes, just let me know. I will definitely come."

Zhou Yu'an now misses the simple and pure shooting environment at that time. He thought that society was dangerous, but he didn't expect that school was not as easy as he imagined.

Jiang Yiyu sighed slightly.

I didn’t expect that people who work can be on call at any time, but students have more concerns than those who work.

"It's going to be busy again."

They are just small web dramas, with nothing particularly attractive. There are hundreds of web dramas that pass the review every year, but only one or two make a splash. If you want to get good results at the investment promotion conference, you must make sufficient preparations that will impress the client - a beautifully complete PPT that covers all the highlights of the drama.

After all, this world is still dominated by PPT, this statement is the truth.

However, the process of making PPT is so long and endlessly painful that it makes people want to challenge the correctness of the truth to the extreme.

When she was finishing the plot summary of the fourth episode, Jiang Yiyu could no longer continue and couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in the studio.

The studio was filled with a depressing and dead atmosphere, and Tang Ya, who was sleeping on the soft sofa, seemed so carefree and relaxed.

Jiang Yiyu picked the man up directly.

"What? Are you done?"

"Take a break and go out for a walk."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's numb nerves relaxed at once. Some got up to stroll around, some drank water, and some played games.

Tang Ya, who was taken away by Jiang Yiyun, asked in confusion: "Where are we going for a stroll?"

"Let's go to Sister Xuan and ask her about the clothing designs for the investment conference."

I have worked with Tong Xuan many times. As soon as the news of passing the review came out, Tong Xuan said that I could ask her to do makeup and styling for important occasions. Anyway, I can't do PPT anymore, so I just happened to visit her.

Jiang Yiyu drove with Tang Ya straight to Tong Xuan's studio. She had been to Tong Xuan's office a few times when they first started working together a long time ago, but she hadn't been there for two years. At first glance, it seemed much larger than the previous small workshop.

To say that it is much bigger is only compared with the previous rather informal small workshop. In fact, the area of ​​the crowded studio is not that big.

Tong Xuan rented a two-story shop. The first floor was used to receive customers. A sign outside read "Xuanhe Modeling Studio". The Japanese square design separated the modeling area and the rest area. It was small but exquisite. The second floor was where Tong Xuan worked and stored her clothes.

When I opened the door, there was no one on the first floor. If there were guests, I would have to shout at Tong Xuan upstairs. The reason for not asking the front desk was simple and sincere.

Labor is so expensive!

How could she afford to hire someone who worked everywhere? So she just did everyone's work by herself. As a result, Tong Xuan is so busy now that she doesn't even have an assistant.

Jiang Yiyu went straight to Tong Xuan's office area on the second floor. As soon as she opened the door, Tong Xuan, who was ironing clothes, heard the sound and turned around.

"Who...Oh, you're here! Come in." Tong Xuan greeted them warmly, but neither Jiang Yiyu nor Tang Ya, who were standing at the door, took a step forward.

"Sister Xuan, could you please tell me where we should stand when we come in?"

The whole room was filled with clothes, even the floor was covered with all kinds of fabrics and various dresses. On the hanger in the middle were Jiang Yiyu's haute couture dresses that were scrapped after filming, which were particularly eye-catching. There was also Cheng Shuyi's orange and blue gauze dress that had been worn in the water after filming a promotional video not long ago.

"Wait a moment." Tong Xuan turned off the iron in her hand, took a difficult step over, gathered up the pile of scattered cloths on the ground, and piled them on the clothes chair that was already piled with a lot of clothes and looked shaky. She managed to maintain her balance very riskily and prevented the clothes chair from collapsing.

"What are you busy with?" Jiang Yiyun looked at the hundreds of different styles of clothes and fabrics in the room. "Are you going to change your career and start a clothing business?"

"Of course not," Tong Xuan said excitedly, "Because of that promotional video, several high-end luxury brands approached me and said they wanted to see my portfolio."

The promotional video of Cheng's released by Jiang Yiyu is really popular. The shots are beautiful and the storyline is so scratching and makes people want to complain. It has indeed been the focus of discussion in recent days.

In the short six-minute promotional video, the skirt that appeared had already been stripped clean by netizens, and even the most popular clip was captured as an animated GIF. In the shot, Cheng Shuyi did a 360-degree rotation and looked back on the sightseeing bus, and the original rose-patterned long skirt and the feather train that she sewed on the original skirt were clearly visible.

After netizens took a look at the details, they were shocked. Although they knew that the dress on the little princess was not simple, they found out how extraordinary it was after seeing the collection. Every dress was haute couture. Cheng's promotional video was really generous. To be able to borrow so many haute couture dresses, the stylist hired by Cheng must have a very strong background and is not an ordinary person.

Tong Xuan, who is rumored to have a strong background and is not an ordinary person, saw the comments and said: "..."

There is indeed someone with a strong background, but it is not her. These are the little princess's own skirts.

The brands of the skirts took advantage of the hype and rushed to claim their own skirts. After all, while netizens may not know, the brands themselves knew exactly what clothes they had loaned out and their VIP client list. Those skirts were custom-made for the daughters of the Cheng family, a top client that every brand wanted to please.

Without anyone even asking, brands rushed out to post pictures and claim their clothes. Even the two couture houses whose dresses Tong Xuan had altered extended an olive branch. Appreciating couture clothing, even though she knew her chances of actually being chosen were slim, these brands' designers possessed exceptional skills and forward-thinking design philosophies. Tong Xuan had been busy tinkering with her own clothes lately, resulting in a pile of fabric filling her studio.

Tong Xuan pulled out a stack of her design drafts from the table and said proudly, "How about it? It looks good, doesn't it?"

Jiang Yiyu leaned over and gave half to Tang Ya, and they both nodded in agreement.

Tong Xuan was originally just a makeup artist. The small crew did not have much money to hire makeup artists and costume designers with clear division of labor, so most of the time she was asked to do everything herself. In addition, after a thorough disassembly and research of haute couture in the past, her design drafts were unique. However, design drafts alone were not enough, and the actual products had to be made.

"Let's not talk about that," Tong Xuan moved the pile of clothes off the chair and let Jiang Yiyun and the others sit down. "I've thought of all the clothes you'll wear for the investment conference. You two will wear suits, and I'll get He Shu a beautiful dress. I guarantee you'll look stunning."

At the investment conference, directors and screenwriters mainly look at actual performance, while the leading stars need to be flashy and eye-catching. In general, they need to live up to the stereotypes of outsiders about stars, especially female stars.

The more beautiful it is, the greater the chance of winning.

They are just in a web drama, and their acting skills are not going for awards, so of course the prettier the better.

Tong Xuan lived up to her expectations. At the investment promotion conference, He Shu wore a halter-neck printed dress and attracted a lot of people's attention when she entered.

The platform held a unified investment promotion meeting for the web dramas scheduled for the second quarter. There were about a dozen groups present, all of which were low-cost web dramas. When they went on stage to introduce themselves, most of the clients sitting below listening were not interested.

Most web dramas flopped silently. It was difficult to make a splash without a hit point. He Shu and Zhou Yu'an, who were sitting in the audience before their turn, were a little nervous.

"It's okay. Our team is so good-looking, we will win if we go up." Jiang Yiyu comforted them while sending a message to Cheng Shuze.

Although there is a bit of self-boasting in it, I have to say that the overall appearance of their group is indeed amazing. Just look at the two leading actors, Zhou Yu'an, a straight-figured male college student, He Shu, who has perfect makeup today, plus Jiang Yiyu, who has a stable and strong aura and delicate eyebrows, and Tang Ya, a senior screenwriter in the circle. As a whole, they still overshadowed the other carefully dressed crew members.

Jiang Yiyu was messaging Cheng Shuze saying that she was at the investment promotion conference, and Cheng Shuze threatened to give her a surprise.

Jiang Yiyun: "No, please don't ask your group to invest in us."

Cheng Shuze: "Jiang Yiyun, do you really dislike my money?"

"Yeah," Jiang Yiyun admitted.

Mr. Cheng, who was sitting across from him, felt a rare sense of frustration. This was the second time Jiang Yiyun had refused to take his money. They were both investments, so what was the difference between his money and others'?

"Compared to money, I still like you more as a person."

"No more talking, I'm going to go on stage."

Jiang Yiyu exited the chat interface, completely unaware of the uproar her direct shot had caused in Mr. Cheng on the other end of the room.

"Mr. Cheng, the flight tickets have been booked, at six o'clock in the evening..." Assistant He, who was accompanying him on the business trip, was about to report the itinerary when he was coldly interrupted by Mr. Cheng.

"Change to the nearest flight and go to the airport now."
