After director Song Zhenbao left a message, he received a personal hot search: Song Zhenbao, the unlucky one who failed to buy the painting.
Netizens clicked on the hot search with the mentality of "see what painting made Director Song become a big villain", and found that this entry was actually linked to Lu Xiu's hot search. Then they saw the ink painting favored by the two celebrities - "Muse".
The Muse crew struck while the iron was hot and posted a new update: [Haven’t seen enough of Xiguang’s paintings? We still have two unreleased posters. @路休@Director Song Zhenbao. ]
8G surfing netizens rushed to the scene.
[Muse's official Weibo account actually @Lu Xiu and Director Song, what kind of dream collaboration is this? Can I dream of Director Song Zhenbao and Director Xiao Xiayan working together? ]
[This scene... I would like to call it a team building event for the top of the entertainment industry pyramid.]
【Who says it isn’t? Adding @纪明旭’s words, it can also be said that it is a weird experience home for team building. 】
[Is this a boastful tone? Haha, a painting worth 30 million? We still have two. ]
[Don't keep us in suspense, just reveal it now! It's the hottest time now! ]
【Hahaha, Brother Lu, your limelight has been stolen @路休. 】
Lu Xiu and Director Song were actually @ed by this post, and they both commented.
Lu Xiu: “Look.”
Director Song: "This is a series, so I still have a chance!"
Muse’s official Weibo account replied to them, “See you at 8pm,” whetting everyone’s appetite.
Shi Xi: "...you guys are the ones who know how to have fun."
The Xiguang account has been gaining followers and is about to break through one million.
After old fans learned that Xi Guang's painting was sold at a high price of 30 million, they also started to celebrate.
[I knew Xi Guang was not an ordinary person. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he came out of nowhere! ]
[Remove the word "吧", Xiguang is a phenomenal painter with a promising future! ]
[Movie Muse made a fortune. Collaborating with Xi Guang was the right choice for them.]
[Is Xiguang still very young? 】
[I don't know, he is too mysterious and has never revealed any information about himself.]
The topic of Lu Xiu buying paintings became the number one hot search, and the topic immediately following this hot search was - Muse will release a new poster at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Various marketing accounts heard the news and took part in the discussion spontaneously. The Muse crew achieved the much-anticipated effect without spending a penny.
At around seven in the evening, the comment section of the Muse official Weibo account exploded again.
Song Zhenbao, Xiao Xiayan, Lu Xiu, Ruan Shu, Shi Xi... it's hard not to cause a sensation when these people get together.
Looking at the urging and waiting voices in the official blog's comment area, Xiao Xiayan's assistant covered his chest and said, "We have never had such a great publicity effect with a movie poster alone. Who would have thought that we only spent 100,000 yuan on commissioning the works?"
Xiao Xiayan was drinking juice beside her, but she couldn't finish this sip of juice.
Xiao Xiayan originally planned to buy the original work as well, but the investors did not want to spend the money. For them, it was enough to have a publicity effect. There was no need to buy a painting from an unknown painter.
Now, these people must be regretting their decision.
Xiao Xiayan is confident in her work. When the movie is released, this group of paintings will appreciate in value. No one can predict how much room there is for appreciation of a painting that was traded for 30 million yuan in the first place.
"Lu Xiu is still the most courageous one," Xiao Xiayan put down the cup: "Is it time?"
The assistant stared at the screen nervously: "It's here, it's been sent!"
Muse’s official Weibo account released two movie posters.
The first painting shows three children walking by the river, full of joy and fun. Their reflections in the river look like adults. They are a Hua Dan, a composer and a profiler. This painting is titled "Different Paths".
The second painting shows Shan Yue standing in the ruins and playing the piano, titled "Finale".
These two paintings are more refined than "Muse" and create two different atmospheres. Because of their strong emotional resonance, people feel as if they are personally experiencing the scene.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time, and when I saw this moment I just wanted to say - Wow!"
"I won't praise the visual effects and painting techniques, I'll leave those to professionals. I just want to praise the emotions conveyed by this painting. How amazing is this? I fell in love with the characters in the movie before it was even released..."
"I wonder who will get the first prize of these two paintings. I really like "The Finale". It gives me a strong sense of loneliness. I feel like I have briefly traveled into the painting and listened to Shanyue playing a requiem. Who understands?"
Director Xiao's assistant read out the top three reviews to Director Xiao, and his face flushed with excitement: "I understand, I understand. Every time I look at Xi Guang's paintings, I feel like I have traveled through time for a short time."
Xiao Xiayan nodded: "This description is good, it's an improvement."
"Xi Guang drew Shan Yue, and Ruan Shu's fans were so happy that they were all reposting this post! Lu Xiu's fans were also praising her, and even Director Song reposted this Weibo post," Director Xiao's assistant said with a smile, "We definitely won this time!"
Xiao Xiayan: "But I missed out on tens of millions."
assistant:"……"
The next day.
Shi Xi received private messages from various major galleries seeking to poach his talents, as well as some interview invitations.
Shi Xi was not interested in these and slowly opened the new message from Crescent Gallery.
[Hello, painter. Lu Xiutuo Gallery would like to ask you if you still have "Different Paths" and "Ending". He offered 70 million. In addition, Director Song Zhenbao wants to buy "Different Paths" and offered 30 million. Ms. Ruan Shu wants to buy "Ending" and offered 30 million. ]
Even Ruan Shu wants to buy it?
Shi Xi thought about it and replied: "Not for now, I want to exhibit these two paintings in my personal exhibition."
On that day, the hot topics on the set were also Lu Xiu and Xi Guang.
No matter where Shi Xi went, he could hear the words "Xi Guang".
During lunch break, everyone surrounded Director Xiao's assistant and asked her various questions about Xi Guang.
"Is Xi Guang a man or a woman?"
"Have you seen the originals of those paintings? I saw many netizens' reposts of the exhibition, and they all said that it was more shocking to see them in person. Is it really that magical?"
"When we were chatting, I felt like she was a girl," Director Xiao's assistant said slowly, holding a cup of milk tea, "I haven't read the original work. Our crew only bought the right to use the painting."
Speaking of this, Director Xiao's assistant was also a little sad, and lowered her voice and said: "Director Xiao was very sad last night. She proposed to buy the original work, but the investors did not approve it."
"It seems that our investors are the real victims. You all saw Director Song's hot search, right? It's so funny. Do you think Director Song will buy the other two paintings?" The assistant director looked at Shi Xi: "Shi Xi, what do you think? You have worked with Director Song before, so you should know her well?"
Shi Xi blinked: "She wants to buy it."
The assistant director was slightly surprised: "Are you sure?"
Shi Xi said "hmm". In fact, as long as she nodded now, Director Song's 30 million would be transferred to her account tonight.
"You learned to paint when you were little before you joined the crew, right?" the assistant director asked again, "In your opinion, does Xi Guang's painting have this value?"
Shi Xi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Yes."
The assistant director laughed: "Haha, you really are a true fan of Xi Guang!"
Shi Xi: “…”
"Oh my god, something's wrong," Director Xiao's assistant suddenly said, "Hurry up and check Weibo. There's a marketing account trying to hype up Xi Guang!"
Everyone asked curiously: "What's the rhythm?"
"Look for yourselves, it should be on the trending search soon. I'm going to find Director Xiao first! Xiguang's reputation cannot be damaged now!"
Shi Xi opened Weibo and typed "Xi Guang" into the search box. He saw a long article that had just been published with the title "Capital Creates God: Crescent Gallery and Xi Guang's Scam".
The person who posted the long article is an old marketing account with millions of followers.
This article makes Xi Guang's paintings worthless. All of this is just a trick of capital to deify the world. Lu Xiu and Song Zhenbao are just cooperating with the Crescent Gallery in putting on a show.
The front row of this Weibo post was filled with a mixture of agreement and insults, and it was obvious that this was a prearranged group of internet trolls controlling the comments.
Shi Xi read a few messages and then stopped reading. He moved his fingers and forwarded the Weibo to the manager of Crescent Art Gallery.
She signed an agency contract with the gallery, and the gallery's operations team will help her handle such matters.
Moreover, this article does not attack Xi Guang, but the Crescent Gallery that stands behind Xi Guang, probably a competitor.
Shi Xi was not affected and continued filming as usual in the afternoon, performing exceptionally well in a major scene.
Director Xiao explained the play to her for a while, then patted her on the shoulder and said, "You've worked hard. Go and take off your makeup."
On the way to the dressing room, Shi Xi overheard two makeup artists discussing Xi Guang. They were so engrossed in the conversation that they didn't notice Shi Xi standing at the door.
Makeup artist Xiaomai said: "Whose cake did Xiguang touch? He was criticized so badly, and all his paintings were criticized as worthless."
Makeup artist Wenwen disagreed and said, "It's not necessarily that she was criticized. There were talismans in her previous works. Some people said that those talismans were just randomly drawn. Xiguang is a liar!"
Xiaomai: "This has not been confirmed yet, and Xiguang's ink paintings are really beautiful and have a strong emotional resonance."
They talked one after another, and Shi Xi could hardly find a chance to intervene.
Wenwen: "That can't be 30 million per painting. She's a new artist, and she doesn't have any information. Don't you think it's strange?"
"Many geniuses are mysterious!" Xiaomai retorted, "It's fine if others don't know about it, but you've been in this crew for so long, don't you know that it was Director Xiao who took the initiative to invite Xiguang to draw for the movie? Could it be that Director Xiao has also been bought by the capital?"
"Stop talking nonsense and stop arguing." Ruan Shu came at some point. She stood behind Shi Xi and interrupted the conversation between the two makeup artists.
Shi Xi and Ruan Shu both knew Lu Xiu and Director Song. Wen Wen didn't know how much they had heard, and her face turned pale: "Teacher Ruan, Teacher Shi, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything else. I was just misled by the marketing account and got a little carried away."
On the way back to the hotel, Shi Xi opened Weibo and saw #Xi Guang’s paintings are not worth 30 million# ranking first on the trending search list.
