Chapter 245: Rise
In the study room of Jingyuan Villa, warm yellow light shines softly. Liu Shishi sits in front of the computer, browsing Weibo.
My eyes were fixed on the screen, which was constantly refreshing with dense comments and reposts, and I was closely following the development of the situation.
Next to me, Song Ci was typing on his laptop, concentrating on writing his new book "The Story of the Great Tang Dynasty".
Sometimes his inspiration flows like a stream, he types rapidly on the keyboard, with brilliant ideas flowing through his fingertips; sometimes he falls into deep thought, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he is carefully crafting the plot and characters.
In the quiet study, the two of them were doing their own things, accompanying each other without disturbing each other, just like when they were dancing and reading, very warm and harmonious.
Before he knew it, it was ten o'clock in the evening. Song Ci saved the coded manuscript and stopped writing.
He yawned lightly, stood up to stretch his muscles which were a little stiff after sitting for a long time, and slowly walked behind Liu Shishi.
He leaned over and hugged her shoulders, his head close to her earlobe, a faint fragrance penetrated into his nose: "Are you still reading Weibo? Have you thought about how to respond to Huang Shengyi?"
Liu Shishi turned her pretty face and kissed her fiancé on the handsome cheek. At this moment, her brows were relaxed, without any trace of worry, replaced by ease and joy.
"Honey, I don't think I need to reply!"
"What's wrong?"
Miss Liu's eyes curved into a pair of crescents, and she happily explained: "Director Huang came out to help me clarify, and everyone also spoke in my favor. Lin Yichen and An Yixuan both stopped and deleted the Weibo updates they had just posted.
Only Huang Shengyi was stubborn and still holding on, but was speechless after being criticized by the little lions. She simply closed the comments on Weibo and acted like an ostrich. "
After listening to what Liu Shishi said, Song Ci thought about it for a moment and instantly understood why things had taken a sudden turn for the worse.
When celebrities fight with each other on Weibo, it's not about who speaks first or who has more words. What matters to succeed in the industry is your strength and background.
Although he and Miss Liu have not made an official announcement, many people in the circle know about their relationship. Naturally, there will be smart people who know what to do at this time. Opportunities like Weibo support, which are cost-free and can win Liu Shishi's favor, are rare.
"Who are the people who speak up for you?"
Liu Shishi was very excited and counted on her fingers: "There are a lot of people. Not to mention old acquaintances like Lao Hu and Yan Nijie, even Tong Dawei, who I just met this morning, spoke up for me. One by one, I am popular with people!"
Song Ci chuckled and patted his fiancee's head: "Silly girl, Tong Dawei is counting on you to introduce him to the leading actor of "Du Lala's Promotion".
Except for Hu Ge, Yan Ni and a few friends who you met when you were still unknown and may be sincere to you, others are just trying to get attention.
If you bloom, the breeze will come. As long as I am here, there will always be good people around you. "
Liu Shishi was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what Song Ci said was indeed reasonable, and immediately pouted her lips: "Yes, yes, Mr. Song, you are the best!"
In fact, I also understand that when Director Huang came out to clarify, the matter was basically over, and the others were just going along with it and doing superficial work, but seeing so many people praising me, I am still very happy. "
Song Ci nudged Miss Liu's earlobe, and the two of them rubbed their ears together: "Just be happy. Now you are also on the rise.
The entertainment industry is full of smart people. After this incident, I think everyone can see the clues and no one will bother you anymore. May flowers and applause accompany you and may you always be happy. "
Listening to her fiancé's blessing and vision, Liu Shishi was moved and murmured, "My dear, you are so kind. How could I have met you since I was a child? I am so lucky."
The two of them were intimate for a while, Song Ci smelled the fragrance of his fiancée's hair, and an irresistible desire gradually rose: "Poetry treasure, spring nights are too short."
Liu Shishi also looked at him seductively, her breathing quickened: "Love me!"
Song Ci gently bent down, held Miss Liu in his arms, and went to the bedroom.
Liu Shishi snuggled in Song Ci's arms, her arms around his neck, her pretty face flushed, with a hint of shyness and sweetness mixed in her eyes. Under the warm yellow light, she looked particularly charming.
The next morning, just after dawn, when Liu Shishi and her assistant Jiang Yuanyuan came to the Huairou Film and Television Base again, a group of reporters swarmed up and surrounded her at the door of the crew.
The reporters shouted at the top of their lungs, speaking urgently, eager to dig out some explosive news.
"Liu Shishi, may I ask what you think about Huang Shengyi's long blog post accusing you yesterday?"
"Shishi, you haven't responded on Weibo yet. Is that a silent disdain for Huang Shengyi?"
"It is rumored that you have a close relationship with the top management of Tengda Group, so all the artists of Tengda Culture came out to support you last night. Is that true?"
It was the first time that Liu Shishi encountered such a sudden interview. She was surrounded by reporters with cameras and it was difficult for her to even move a step, let alone get away. She suddenly became a little flustered.
Jiang Yuanyuan tried her best to protect the young lady behind her, and used her arms to block the microphones and cameras that were extended around her to prevent any accidents from happening to Yijie.
Several security guards in front of the crew noticed the chaotic situation and immediately stepped forward to help. The director had already instructed that if any media came to interview and disrupt the normal order of the crew, they should all leave.
Several security guards quickly parted the crowd, clearing a path for the star surrounded by reporters.
Liu Shishi was in a panic, but with the help of her assistant and security guard, she finally broke through the encirclement and the reporters' entanglement and slipped into the production base after a lot of pushing and crowding.
"I'm so scared! These reporters are crazy. How did they know I came to the crew?" Sister Yi was still in shock and fear. The scene just now was indeed a bit scary.
Jiang Yuanyuan was panting, her clothes were a little messy, and her hair was a little disheveled:
"They've probably been waiting at the door since early morning! Shishi, you'd better wear a hat and a mask next time you go out. Those reporters are so reckless. If anything happens, I won't be able to explain to Mr. Song."
Yijie nodded vigorously. She had learned from her mistakes and would be fully armed and try to hide her identity as much as possible when she went out.
Liu Shishi and her assistant finally squeezed into the crew safely. In a nanny car not far from the door, someone watched the whole scene.
"She is one of the heroines in last night's Weibo war?"
In response to her agent's inquiry, Zhang Ziyi nodded slightly: "Yes, she is Liu Shishi. She has risen rapidly in the past two years and is now quite popular."
"Speaking of which, we should thank her. Yesterday's incident solved your urgent problem. The heat of the beach incident has finally died down, and netizens are paying attention to Liu Shishi and Huang Shengyi."
As Zhang Ziyi's agent, Ji Lingling has been very distressed during this period.
A few days ago, intimate photos of our own artist and her foreign wealthy businessman boyfriend on vacation at the beach were exposed, causing a sensation on the Internet. Major websites, forums, and social media reposted the photos, and the popularity remained high.
This had a huge impact on the positive image that Zhang Ziyi had been working hard to build. He had been trying to suppress the heat, but unfortunately the effect was minimal and the heat continued to ferment.
Unexpectedly, yesterday's role-grabbing incident successfully overshadowed the beach incident, and the heat was successfully diverted, which really proved the saying "an accidental planting leads to a great success".
Zhang Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. No one wants their explicit photos to be criticized by netizens and become a topic of conversation after dinner.
"This little girl has a complicated background. A glimpse of her can reveal the whole story. Last night, half of the entertainment industry came to support her. This shows that she has a lot of power. You can get in touch with her and find out more about her when you are filming on the set these few days."
As Ji Lingling spoke, a hint of inquiry appeared in her eyes.
In the complex environment of the entertainment industry, connections and background often determine the development height of an artist. He is full of curiosity about the forces behind Liu Shishi.
Although Zhang Ziyi was proud and unwilling to take the initiative to contact the newcomers who suddenly emerged, she reluctantly agreed when she saw her agent's serious words: "I understand."
Ji Lingling pushed up the frame of her glasses that was sagging a little on her nose, and said with a dim look, "What do you think about what I said last time?"
Zhang Ziyi's face straightened: "We can open a film and television company together. But my development focus in recent years has been overseas, and I don't have as many connections in China as Fan Bingbing.
When it comes to film and television production, it's useless to just invest money. If you want to build a production team, you still need the support of a few big companies."
"You don't have to worry about this. With Fan Bingbing's demonstration, I think as long as you are willing to start a company, Huayi, Bona, and Guangguang will be willing to invest in it."
Ji Lingling was confident, as he knew the thoughts and interests of these big companies very well. He felt that with Zhang Ziyi's fame and status, it would be easy to get film and television companies to join.
Zhang Ziyi hesitated: "Actually, I would rather cooperate with Tengda Culture. First, they have experience in operating studios. Second, they have a good reputation in the industry and are very trustworthy."
"Tengda Culture has already cooperated with Fan Bingbing, so how much resources can it provide to support you? If you value reputation, Guangguang is also a good choice, and Wang Changtian is also a decent person."
Ji Lingling tried her best to persuade her artist. The reason why he did not consider cooperating with Tengda Culture was, on the one hand, as he had just said, and on the other hand, he was secretly competing with Fan Bingbing's agent Mu Xiaoguang.
They are all agents of big actresses. Seeing that the other party is doing very well and making a lot of money from the TV series "My Love from the Star", their studios are thriving.
Ji Lingling felt that her ability and connections were not inferior to Mu Xiaoguang, so she was naturally unwilling to fall behind. Therefore, she kept urging Zhang Ziyi to learn from Fan Bingbing and start a company, hoping to compete with him in their careers.
"Then let's get in touch with the light first." After some thought, Zhang Ziyi finally chose to adopt her agent's advice. She didn't have much of her own opinion in her career, and in most cases, Ji Lingling made the decision.
When Ji Lingling heard Zhang Ziyi's agreement, she became excited and made a promise: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything. If Fan Bingbing can do it, so can we."
"That's the arrangement. While the reporters' attention is on Liu Shishi, I'll join the group. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to be blocked at the door."
After saying that, Zhang Ziyi looked out of the car window, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly put on a baseball cap and a mask, opened the car door, got out quickly, and hurried to the crew with her assistant.
Inside the crew, the atmosphere at this moment is completely different compared to yesterday when no one cared about it.
Liu Shishi clearly felt that the people in the crew were much more enthusiastic, and even some staff members she didn't know took the initiative to greet her.
Yijie almost thought she was back to the crew of Tangren Film and Television. The feeling of being noticed and valued by everyone made her a little dazed.
"Hello, Teacher Liu!" "Good morning, Teacher Liu!"
Faced with the enthusiasm of the crew, Liu Shishi always had a decent smile on her face and slightly slightly in response from time to time, showing good cultivation and affinity.
Jiang Yuanyuan was secretly shocked and whispered: "Shishi, these people are so realistic. Their attitude today is really different from yesterday."
"It's human nature. After all, Director Huang spoke for me yesterday. The director is the highest will of the entire crew. They are so enthusiastic because of Director Huang's face. I have to thank the director later."
When Yijie and her assistant arrived at the rest shed yesterday, Deng Chao and Tong Dawei had already arrived, reciting their lines and studying the script. When they saw Liu Shishi coming, they smiled and greeted her.
Tong Dawei had a simple smile on his face and was full of enthusiasm: "Shishi is here, have you had breakfast?"
Deng Chao glanced at Tong Dawei suspiciously, wondering in his heart that he was a little too enthusiastic today.
Tong Dawei noticed Deng Chao's expression from the corner of his eye, but he didn't care at all. He told his agent the news about "Du Lala's Promotion" yesterday.
Wang Jinghua was also very resourceful. He found out everything about the drama in half a day. When he returned to the hotel in the evening, he had already got the script. After reading it carefully, he found that the script was of high quality and had the potential to be a big hit.
Moreover, Wang Jinghua told him that the leading female role in this drama has a lot of say, and Liu Shishi has an impressive background. If he could help recommend her, he would have a great chance of getting the leading male role.
Therefore, after Huang Jianxin posted a clarification yesterday, he was the first to jump out on Weibo to support Liu Shishi.
"I had it at home. Thank you for last night, Brother Dawei." After Song Ci's reminder, Liu Shishi was well aware of Tong Dawei's enthusiasm, but since the other party was smiling, she naturally had to treat him with courtesy.
When talking about last night's Weibo dispute, Deng Chao immediately became embarrassed. Several female protagonists of the "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" crew attacked Liu Shishi, and as the male lead of the show, he was in a delicate situation.
It is not appropriate to express my opinion, nor is it appropriate to stand on either side. I can only play the ostrich. At this moment, facing the person involved, I can only smile foolishly and deal with it.
Tong Dawei waved his hand: "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it. Huang Shengyi didn't do his job well, how can he put the blame on you? I was just speaking for justice."
He glanced at Deng Chao and continued without hesitation, "Shishi, brother, I have something to trouble you about, which is about the movie "Du Lala's Promotion" you mentioned yesterday.
I asked my agent yesterday, but the male lead hasn't been decided yet. Can you introduce him to the crew? I'll owe you a favor regardless of whether he succeeds or not."
