The next morning, Liu Wangxue was awakened by her biological clock. Pengpeng, who was sleeping beside her, also woke up. Now she didn't need to help. Pengpeng opened the door and ran out by himself. Guaguo came out of the jewelry villa and followed closely. Xiaoci stretched lazily beside Liu Wangxue's pillow, then nestled in her arms and asked for a hug.
Liu Wangxue sat up and woke up, then got out of bed carrying Xiaoci, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and opened the curtains. Outside, the golden morning sun was already shining, and it instantly jumped over the balcony and poured into the house through the window glass.
Liu Wangxue yawned, stretched with one hand, turned around, put Xiaoci on the ground, patted it, took off his coat, put it on, went out, turned left and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When I heard the laughter and looked down, I saw that little Cha Cha had already gotten up and was playing in the yard with Anding and Pengpeng.
Liu Wangxue leaned his elbows on the guardrail and greeted everyone below: "Good morning~"
They both looked up at the same time. Anding said good morning, and Chacha smiled widely: "Good morning, Aunt Liu~"
At this time, Du Yunxiang came out of the bathroom and asked her, "Are you going for a morning run later?"
Liu Wangxue nodded: "Together?"
"Okay." Du Yunxiang went back to his room to change clothes.
After a while, Liu Wangxue came downstairs and Xu Qingsong also came over. Four adults, a child and three pets went out together and walked towards the asphalt road in the east.
Xu Qingsong and Anding ran forward with Pengpeng, Guaguo chased them and flew freely, and Chacha ran to catch Guaguo. When Guaguo saw Chacha chasing him, he deliberately slowed down, flew to a fixed point and stopped to wait for him.
Liu Wangxue was holding Xiaoci on his shoulders, and he and Du Yunxiang were jogging and chatting behind him. Du Yunxiang would remind Chacha from time to time: "Run slowly, and watch your feet."
When they reached the finish line of Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong's daily run, the boy's forehead was sweating. Du Yunxiang wiped it for him with a handkerchief, and then they walked back at a walk.
Du Yunxiang had been observing the environment all the way here. She didn't know much about farming, and seeing that many fields were green, she asked Liu Wangxue: "What are these?" Du Yunkai said that this place grows rice, two seasons a year, and the late rice had been harvested long ago. Now these are obviously not rice.
Liu Wangxue pointed to the left and then to the right, marking an area and said, "Most of the fields are planted with rapeseed. Some fields have some vegetables, such as carrots and radishes."
She didn't pay much attention to it at first, until she heard what Gu Xuelan said. At that time, she was imagining that when the rape flowers bloomed, one after another, bright yellow and golden, it would be beautiful to take pictures.
Last time, after helping Qiu Xiangrong take pictures of the products, she told Xu Qingsong while running the next day that when the flowers bloom, she could suggest to her brother-in-law to develop some new products that suit the occasion, and take a series of pictures in this rapeseed field, which would be absolutely beautiful.
Anding then asked, "When will the rape flowers bloom here?"
"In the middle of next month," Liu Wangxue said, and then asked Du Yunxiang, "Sister Yunxiang, are you free by then? Bring Cha Cha over to play."
When Cha Cha heard about coming over to play, she answered first, also with the intention of deliberately playing around, and said, "Okay, okay!"
Du Yunxiang smiled and wiped his sweat, saying, "Okay, but mom may not have time by then, so let your uncle pick you up, okay?"
"Really?" Cha Cha asked in surprise, "Mom, is it true? Can I still come and play?"
"Of course it's true," Du Yunxiang said, "When has mom ever lied to a child?"
"That's great!" Cha Cha hugged Gua Gua and jumped happily. "I'm going to talk to my uncle this afternoon."
Liu Wangxue touched Cha Cha's head. She was easily infected by the joy of the child and said, "When you come, auntie will take a photo for you, okay?"
Cha Cha was about to nod and say yes, but Du Yunxiang interrupted her: "Don't think about it for now, you may not have time by then."
"Me?" Liu Wangxue pointed at herself, thinking, as a "vagrant" without a formal job, what was there to be so busy about? The two scripts would not start filming so soon. If she was busy, she would at most be busy with the script based on Tao Huaxin and Qiu Xiangrong. She was busy writing the script for Yiyou some time ago, which had been put aside for a long time. She was planning to start writing it in two days.
Du Yunxiang said, "I received internal information last night that the broadcast schedule for Moon Over Spring Stream has been announced, but it will not be officially announced until after the Spring Festival. You didn't go to see the finished film last time. The show was finally edited into 30 episodes. After review, the higher-ups thought it was very meaningful, so they put it on the prime time of the national TV drama channel."
It airs two episodes a day, Monday to Friday, starting in mid-March and finishing in late March, for a full three weeks.
Du Yunxiang went on to say: "After the Spring Festival, the release date will be officially announced, and the creative team will have to take some interviews and appear on a variety show for promotion."
The schedule was too tight, but there was nothing we could do about it. In order to submit this support project to the national station in time, the filming of this drama had been rushed since its inception.
Du Yunxiang had already contacted people in advance for interviews and variety shows. They are all influential and popular programs, but they are not produced by his own company. Therefore, he had to wait for the official announcement before he could give them a chance to temporarily add them in. The recording will be at the end of this month at the latest, and will be broadcasted in the middle of next month along with the TV series.
Liu Wangxue asked: "Do I have to participate too?"
She has never participated in any interviews, let alone taken part in any variety show recordings. Moreover, she has withdrawn from the Internet now. It was indeed Liushi Entertainment who deliberately used her as an example to expose her on the Internet again during the New Year's Day incident.
Since the official announcement was made using Xu Qingsong's WB account, the attention to his account has been rising rapidly. Now every day there are many people calling Xu Qingsong to give out sweets. Of course, there are also some unpleasant voices, and some even sent private messages to Xu Qingsong to disgust him.
Xu Qingsong didn't care about these remarks at all. He would even check WB unless he had nothing to do. However, one time when Liu Wangxue's phone was muted when she was writing a script, Beibei and Kang Kang couldn't contact her because of something. She only found out when they called Xu Qingsong.
There was nothing important that the twins wanted to talk to Liu Wangxue about, but Xu Qingsong hadn't had a good talk with her for several days, so he made an excuse to go find her.
After she answered the call, she saw a small red dot with "99+" on the WB APP, and asked Xu Qingsong how he could resist clicking it.
Xu Qingsong smiled and said, "Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Then you can order it."
Liu Wangxue actually clicked on it, and was disgusted by the private messages at the top - they were all cursing Xu Qingsong. She regretted it so much, and felt that she really shouldn't have involved Xu Qingsong. But then she thought again, this matter was unsolvable, Liushi Entertainment was just trying to stir up trouble, and whoever stood with her would be splashed with dirty water.
Xu Qingsong immediately took the phone and cleared the private messages with one click. He returned to the comment section, picked out a few flattering comments and showed them to her. He also held her hand and made a blocking gesture, saying, "This is called rebound. With the blessing of my magic, those bad comments will eventually backfire on them."
"Isn't this the same tactic that little brats use when they're fighting?" Liu Wangxue was amused by him. "It's a method of spiritual victory."
"Childish, right? But it's enough to deal with this kind of person." Xu Qingsong held her hand again and made a hugging gesture, saying, "This is called absorbing blessings, and if you do this action frequently, your various blessings will increase rapidly."
Liu Wangxue looked at Xu Qingsong holding his arms around his waist and said, "I suspect you have selfish motives and impure intentions."
Xu Qingsong defended himself: "No, I was just reminding you that it's best to hug me and absorb my blessings every once in a while."
After Liu Wangxue finished writing the script, she thought back to this scene and felt that he was so obvious in his move. She didn't even understand it at the time and felt quite upset.
Liu Wangxue has always understood that being under the camera means exposure, and exposure will lead to magnification, followed by the emergence of some false statements that are made out of nothing.
Nowadays, if these remarks were directed at herself, she could completely remain calm and not care about them. However, if these people insulted people close to her, she would still be very angry and upset when she saw it.
Du Yunxiang could more or less guess what Liu Wangxue was thinking, so she said, "You are one of the key figures of this drama, so it doesn't matter if you participate in variety shows or not, but you should consider interviewing."
There are interviews with the main creative team of the crew, as well as individual interviews with Liu Wangxue.
Du Yunxiang first considered it from a business perspective.
The New Year's Day incident caused a sensation on the Internet. Liu Wangxue was forced to be at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion, and Xu Qingsong also received a lot of attention.
Now a month has passed, but Yunxi Entertainment's public relations department is still paying attention to this matter. Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong don't go online often, so they may not know much about it. Liu Wangxue's accounts on major platforms have been cancelled, so she probably doesn't feel anything - they are actually quite popular on the Internet.
This "popularity" was due to their identities, but the main reason was that video - a scene of the two of them taking a selfie next to a musical fountain in the background of a live broadcast by internet celebrity Li Zigao - which was cut out by netizens and uploaded to the Shiliu Video platform. After the online violence subsided and the two made an official announcement, the video gained another wave of popularity and was moved to various major platforms.
Now this live clip often appears in some mixed-cut videos, with titles like "Sweet moments of young couples", "Sour love makes me feel sour", "No wonder they are in love", etc. It seems to have become a traffic code. As long as the video cover is a screenshot of this scene between the two of them, the number of views and likes will not be low. More importantly, there is no one behind this popularity, it is all created by netizens spontaneously.
As a side note, the two of them are so popular that Liu Nanshan came across them when he was watching short videos a few days ago, and then he was pushed a complete explanation of the New Year's Day cyberbullying incident. He was very angry after reading it.
It was almost midnight, Liu Wangxue was still revising the script, and Xu Qingsong was ready to go to bed. Gu Xuelan failed to stop Liu Nanshan. He called Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong to his side and criticized them severely, thinking that such things should not be hidden from parents.
Gu Xuelan understood the two children's thoughts. She was just afraid that they would worry unnecessarily. However, Liu Nanshan felt that whether they could help in practical matters was another matter, but when going through certain things, the family had to be together, at least to give each other spiritual support.
Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong admitted their mistakes and said nice things to him, and it took a long time to coax him into calmness.
Du Yunxiang was also quite surprised after seeing the data monitoring results, thinking that if Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong were willing, they could use this opportunity to prepare for their debut. This kind of natural popularity should not be wasted, so Du Yunxiang planned to give Liu Wangxue a separate interview on top of the interview with the main creative team of the crew, which would definitely have a good effect on the publicity of the drama.
It's just that he was too busy recently, and the news of the release date of this drama had not yet come out, so Du Yunxiang forgot to tell Liu Wangxue in advance.
Putting aside the angle of the drama promotion, Du Yunxiang secretly hoped that Liu Wangxue would take over these two interviews. Needless to say, the benefits are obvious, and you can understand it with a little thought.
The former is the main creative team, and the director and the leading actor will naturally participate at that time. Now there are still people on the Internet who are discrediting the relationship between Liu Wangxue and the crew, and some people are even purely discrediting the crew, saying that no one except Lou Rui had Reuters during the filming, and the official Weibo of the crew did not post anything. The director and the actors did not see any interaction after the filming was completed. Only when Liu Wangxue got into trouble did everyone come forward to speak for her. Obviously, it was not voluntary but "people in the company cannot help themselves." Everyone tacitly ignored these words, whether they were familiar with each other or not, and whether they had a good relationship, etc. After the official release date, publicity and interviews will be released, and then the highlights will be released as the show is broadcast, and then it will naturally become clear.
The latter is a personal interview with Liu Wangxue. Although the theme is about the creation of this drama, it is also an opportunity for her to personally express her attitude to the public.
Du Yunxiang had admired Liu Wangxue since she got to know her. Excluding the cooperative relationship between the two, Du Yunxiang was also willing to help out of selfishness. She never thought that Liu Wangxue was a weak and fragile person. She believed that Liu Wangxue had the courage to face everything, and she had seen it.
Du Yunxiang didn't need to explain all this in detail to Liu Wangxue. Liu Wangxue understood after just a few words.
Liu Wangxue agreed: "Okay, I'll participate, but only for the interview."
She has no interest in variety shows. To be more precise, she has no interest in more exposure. She now positions herself as an ordinary screenwriter. It is enough for her to write scripts, earn some money, and live a worry-free life.
The reason why she agreed to Du Yunxiang was not to "personally express her attitude to the public", but simply for the sake of this drama and everyone's joint efforts, she had to help out no matter what, and it was just a piece of cake for her.
Besides, as for whether or not to express their attitude, they had already expressed their attitude when they used Xu Qingsong's Weibo account to post the photo and make the official announcement, but some people's bad breath will exist no matter what. On this point, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong could reach a consensus without any communication. Their lives are their own, and they just need to be happy. They don't need to deliberately do it for others to see.
Seeing that Liu Wangxue agreed, Xu Qingsong took her hand and asked Du Yunxiang: "Sister Yunxiang, can you tell me which platform it is? Who are the hosts?" He was still a little worried.
Before he finished speaking, Gu Gua flapped its wings and flew out of Cha Cha's arms. Cha Cha thought the little parrot wanted to play the same game of chase with him again, so he ran after it. But Gu Gua suddenly pooped on the ground, and Cha Cha was unable to stop in time, so his left foot happened to step on it.
The child's pupils trembled as if they were frozen in time. He turned around and called Du Yunxiang, "Mom, I stepped on Guagua's poop, and my shoes are dirty now."
Du Yunxiang smiled, walked over quickly, pinched Chacha's armpits and carried her away from the bird shit. When Chacha landed on the ground, he supported her and lifted her left foot.
Du Yunxiang took out a small pack of wet wipes from her pocket, squatted down, and put Cha Cha's left leg on her knee: "Hold it steady, mom will help you clean it."
So Anding answered Xu Qingsong's question: "Don't worry, both of you. These two interviews are from big platforms. You may have heard of the column--"
The interview with the main creative team was conducted on a long-established interview program on Qianshan Video called "Behind the Scenes Story".
This program has been running for more than 20 years. It was first broadcast on the then very famous Seagull TV, and interviewed the behind-the-scenes production teams of movies, TV and music. Back then, this program was extremely popular. It is no exaggeration to say that it influenced a generation's aesthetic taste for movies, TV and music.
The content of the later columns was expanded, and some writers were interviewed to talk about the creative background of their works. The behind-the-scenes teams of some grand evening parties and ceremonies, as well as some documentary filming teams, etc.
Old viewers all know that anyone who can appear on this talk show is of a certain standard. In today's words, just follow the show with your eyes closed and there is no need to think at all. You won't suffer any loss or be fooled. Whether it is a movie or a paper book, this program is a guarantee of word-of-mouth.
Later, as the times changed and the Internet developed, Haiou TV failed to keep up, its revenue declined, and many programs had to be cancelled. The copyright of "Behind the Scenes" was sold and acquired by Qianshan Video, the largest video platform in China. They also poached Ning Jianbing, the host who became famous for this program.
After the acquisition by Qianshan Video, "Behind the Scenes" was appropriately revised while ensuring the core of the program, in order to cater to the current younger market and attract young audiences, and it was broadcast simultaneously on Haiou Satellite TV and Qianshan Video platforms.
The program has become a two-person show, with a young female host, Ning Jianbing, as the male host. She is also a new generation of Qianshan Video's own training. The interview format of the show retains the previous discussion format, and adds some popular game interactions.
However, due to the overly sensitive atmosphere in the circle nowadays, the topics interviewed in the program are no longer as in-depth as before. In addition, due to certain considerations, such as personal relationships and profits, many old viewers have complained that the current "Behind the Scenes" has lost its original intention and has become a publicity tool for certain celebrities and bad dramas.
Even so, "Behind the Scenes" still has a certain national popularity because of Ning Jianbing. Coupled with the young audiences attracted to it, the number of views both on TV and on the Internet is quite considerable.
The interview and publicity for "Moon Rising from Spring Stream" was arranged by Du Yunxiang after he asked Sheng Zongjiang for help and used his connections to get him in.
"Oh, it's this show." Liu Wangxue knew that she almost grew up watching this show.
Seagull TV was so famous back then, with all kinds of programs being very popular. Every night when they turned on the TV, they would watch Seagull TV. Every Friday night, her father would be in front of the TV on time to watch "Behind the Scenes". The interview with host Ning Jianbing was humorous and profound. Apart from the hosts from the national TV station, her father liked Ning Jianbing the most.
Liu Wangxue thought, what a coincidence, she would not tell anyone yet and give Liu Nanshan a surprise when the time comes.
The one-on-one interview arranged for Liu Wangxue was a program produced by Shiliu Video, which is only broadcast on the Internet platform and is called "Ju Youliao". Unlike "Behind the Scenes", "Ju Youliao" is broadcast daily, and this program usually conducts one-on-one interviews, and the interviewees are all the main creators of the current hit dramas.
For example, when the palace drama directed by Meng Huadong was popular that year, "Ju You Liao" interviewed almost all the main creative staff of the drama, from the director to the screenwriter to the actors, as well as the camera, props, costumes, and makeup. The 80-episode drama was broadcast for 40 days, and "Ju You Liao" broadcast the drama as the theme for 34 consecutive days from the 7th day of its broadcast.
In terms of reputation and popularity, although "Ju You Liao" is not as good as "Behind the Scenes", its traffic is definitely greater than that of "Behind the Scenes".
Since this program only focuses on currently popular dramas, when Du Yunxiang sent someone to contact them, the other party, although in a tactful way, also expressed a refusal. In other words, your drama hasn't been aired yet, and the key is that it hasn't even been scheduled yet. How do I know if it will be popular? If the drama doesn't become popular when it's aired, wouldn't my efforts in making this program be in vain? The person sent by Du Yunxiang gave a hint, but the other party didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, and just refused to give in. After Du Yunxiang learned about it, he said forget it, it's not like other platforms haven't contacted him for a program of equal strength.
Who would have thought that after two days, a new person in charge would come over to finalize the matter. The person in charge of the negotiations on Du Yunxiang's side had to suspect that there was something fishy going on, so he didn't dare to make a decision and reported it.
Liu Wangxue frowned when she heard this: "It's a bit strange."
Du Yunxiang finished wiping Cha Cha's soles and put his legs down: "Okay, it's clean."
"Thank you, Mom~" Cha Cha looked at the soles of her shoes without any traces of bird droppings and breathed a sigh of relief. She caught Gua Gua who was flying back and asked Du Yunxiang for a wet tissue to wipe Gua Gua's butt. "Be good, I'll help you clean it."
Du Yunxiang stood up and said to Liu Wangxue: "Shiliu Video is also your old employer."
Liu Wangxue pointed at herself and smiled: "You mean, my face? Is it that big?"
Du Yunxiang seemed to be joking: "That's hard to say." After she heard about it, she just asked someone to bring the contract for review. Seeing that there was no problem with the terms, she made a verbal agreement first, saying that she would sign it after the show was officially scheduled and Liu Wangxue agreed.
Anding paid attention to the expressions of Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong. He didn't know what was going on, but he instinctively added, "Don't worry, the two interviewers will follow us throughout the process and record the video. We won't let them edit it randomly."
This is not what Xu Qingsong was worried about. Liu Wangxue once said that she and Mu Jingsheng met at the annual meeting of Pomegranate Video. He didn't want to have any connection with this person behind the scenes.
Liu Wangxue didn't think of this and was simply feeling strange. It was just an interview and Du Yunxiang had given her assurance, so she didn't think there was anything to worry about and nodded in agreement.
Xu Qingsong said to her: "I will go with you then."
Liu Wangxue turned around and gave him a meaningful smile, wanting to ask him if he was reluctant to let her go on a "business trip". However, since there were other people around, she was too embarrassed to ask, so she nodded and said, "Okay!"
Du Yunxiang and Anding also looked at them with a smile.
In front, Cha Cha carefully wiped Gua Gua's butt - actually, she just wiped that patch of feathers. The little parrot is very clean and will never get itself dirty. When Cha Cha wanted to wipe it, it really stayed still. Then Cha Cha praised it highly.
Liu Wangxue asked Du Yunxiang again: "Is this interview for "Ju Youliao" only going to be with me? Director Jing, Jia Jia and Rui Rui are not going?"
"I'm afraid Ni Jia and Lou Rui don't have time." Du Yunxiang said.
"That's right." Liu Wangxue nodded.
Liu Wangxue has kept in touch with both of them privately. She heard from Ni Jia that her agent had recently brought back a few scripts for her, and she is concentrating on preparing for the audition. She wants to be an actor and let her works speak for her. She may take on some shows to increase her exposure, but if her schedule conflicts with her main job, she will choose her main job without hesitation.
As for Lou Rui, his transformation from an idol artist to a talented singer was quite successful, and he also planned to enter the film and television industry, so he has now begun to "retreat and practice", and spends almost every day in the company's actor training classes. In his own words, he wants to walk the path that Ni Jia has walked again, and he will not leave if he fails the assessment.
Ni Jia also praised him for his courage. After all, his current career can be described as "at its peak". If others were in his position, they would have to make money again and again. Even if the person himself does not want to, the company will not let him go.
Liu Wangxue thought, I can only say that Sister Yunxiang’s Yunxi Entertainment is really conscientious.
Liu Wangxue asked again: "What about Director Jing? Isn't he going to participate either?"
Du Yunxiang laughed and said, "The former director of 'Ju You Liao' had offended him before, and he holds a grudge against him. He will definitely not go."
It was an interview about Meng Huadong's palace fighting drama many years ago. At that time, Jing Yujun was learning from Meng Huadong. In the later stage of filming, he was promoted to deputy director by Meng Huadong. The "Ju Youliao" program crew also interviewed him separately for Meng Huadong's sake.
Jing Yujun was quite happy at first, but during the interview, the host asked impolite and unkind questions. Although he was interviewing him, he actually talked about his master in every sentence. He also hinted that he had no real skills and that he was able to become an assistant director at such a young age only because of his master's favoritism.
Jing Yujun was young and hot-tempered at that time and could easily explode. He left the interview in anger before it was finished. The program crew later edited the show to create hype. The title of that episode was "Jing Yujun denies his master Meng Huadong's careful teaching, and he turns against his master after achieving success in his studies."
Jing Yujun was so furious that he even hired a lawyer to sue the program crew. In the end, Meng Huadong stepped in to stop him. He then contacted the top management of Shiliu Video, got the person in charge fired, and released the master tape. The matter was over for the time being.
Later, the TV series directed by Jing Yujun alone became a hit, and "Ju Youliao" wanted to invite the main creators of the crew to do an interview. He directly @ the program team on WB and sent three words, "Dream on you." As a result, the program team was ridiculed by netizens for half a year.
"There's also this matter?" Liu Wangxue couldn't stop laughing, "Director Jing is indeed a man of temperament, hahahaha..." (End of this chapter)
