Chapter 280 Let’s Watch Together
Donghai Wenhua Garden Community, this ordinary community, is the filming location of the hit TV series "Love Apartment".
When filming the first part, due to limited funds for the crew, all the indoor scenes in the play were built using several abandoned huts in the community.
When filming the second part, director Wei Zhen still decided to shoot here.
It was close to noon, and in a rest shed built in the community, male protagonists Chen Chichi, Sun Yizhou and others watched as several girls boarded a luxury RV not far away, their faces filled with envy.
It was January, the weather was freezing cold, and the wind was howling like a knife. Several men were shivering in the leaky rest shed.
The heroines were much luckier because they got Liu Shishi's permission to get into the warm RV to avoid the cold wind.
"Yizhou, even though Liu Shishi is very popular, you don't need to fawn on her so much."
Chen Chichi rubbed his hands, thinking of his good friend's constant flattery of Liu Shishi, who had just joined the group, and looked puzzled.
Sun Yizhou imitated Zeng Xiaoxian's classic eyebrow-raising gesture in the play and said seriously: "She is my boss, isn't it my duty to please her?"
Li Jiahang and Wang Chuanjun, who were standing by, were not able to react for a moment. "What do you mean, boss? Are you saying that Liu Shishi is the investor of the crew?"
Sun Yizhou shook his head: "Literally, I am now a signed artist of Liu Shishi's studio!"
"What?" The three of them were shocked when they heard the answer.
Chen Chichi opened his mouth in surprise: "Brother, are you kidding?"
"Do you think I'm joking?"
The three of them looked at each other and expressed their confusion: "Yizhou, what do you think about this?"
After all, after the broadcast of "Love Apartment", several leading actors have become somewhat famous and have no shortage of agency contracts. It is unbelievable that Sun Yizhou actually went to sign a contract with the studio of a young actress.
Sun Yizhou was unable to tell everyone the inside story, so he could only be vague: "I have my own considerations. I am betting on Liu Shishi's future."
Chen Chichi stepped forward and patted his friend on the shoulder, looking at him like a fool: "Your idea is ridiculous. Listen to my advice and think about how to terminate the contract. Everyone in the circle knows that Liu Shishi's studio is just an empty shell."
Sun Yizhou recalled the news about the richest man's marriage on New Year's Day, and said confidently: "It is now, but it may not be in the future."
"Oh." Seeing their friend being so mysteriously confident, the three men couldn't bear to undermine his self-confidence. They estimated that they could only wait until the future dealt him a heavy blow before he would realize his mistake and return to the right path.
At this time, the RV was as warm as spring, and the warm air from the air conditioner was whistling. As soon as Lou Yixiao, Li Jinming and Deng Jiajia entered the car, they took off their heavy coats, looking relaxed and comfortable.
"Thank you, Senior Sister." The three of them thanked Sister Yi repeatedly.
Although Li Jinming and Deng Jiajia are both older than Liu Shishi, in the entertainment industry, which is a place of fame and fortune, age is never the criterion for seniority. Whoever is more popular or has a higher reputation is considered the sister.
Liu Shishi leaned on the soft sofa, holding an iPad in her hand, staring at the screen intently.
Hearing the three girls' thanks, he didn't even raise his head, but just responded softly: "You're welcome, just be yourself, there's tea over there, please help yourself."
Li Jinming saw Liu Shishi concentrating on the iPad in her hand and thought she was watching some popular TV series.
He tiptoed to Sister Yi, with a flattering smile on his face, and asked curiously, "Senior Sister Shi, what TV series are you watching?"
Liu Shishi noticed Li Jinming's movements from the corner of her eye and turned the iPad screen slightly towards her: "I was watching the 'Headline Star' that aired yesterday. I was busy with my schedule and didn't have time yesterday, so I asked my assistant to download it to my iPad so that I can watch it today."
"In yesterday's episode on the 23rd, it seemed that the person being interviewed was the richest man, Song Ci. It even became a hot topic after the show aired last night."
Deng Jiajia stood aside and said with a smile that she had browsed relevant news on Weibo last night. When she mentioned it now, there was a hint of pride on her face as if she knew some gossip.
"Ah, is the person being interviewed this time Song Ci? Senior sister, can you take me with you to read? I used to really like his novels." Li Jinming looked innocent and begged Sister Yi.
Liu Shishi seemed happy to share, and upon hearing this, she propped up her iPad on the table in front of her.
While moving inward to make room for Li Jinming, he joked with a smile: "Why did you say you liked it before? Don't you like Song poetry books now?"
Li Jinming chuckled and sat down beside the first sister. "It's not that I don't like it now, but compared to his later historical books "Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty" and "The Story of the Great Tang Dynasty", I still prefer his early youth love stories."
Deng Jiajia also came to join in the fun, standing behind the two of them, craning her neck to watch this episode of "Headline Star" together, muttering:
"I also like to read his early works "Left Ear" and "Eastern Palace", but the literary value of his last two historical novels is much higher than those earlier books."
Lou Yixiao was sitting alone, feeling bored, so he decided to join the three of them.
So the four girls huddled together, all looking at the iPad in front of them.
On the screen, the studio lights are bright, and the logo of "Headline Star" is shining on the background wall.
The host Li Hong was wearing an exquisite white professional suit, smiling and sitting elegantly in the interview seat.
Opposite him was the handsome and elegant Chairman of Tengda Group and mainland China's richest man, Song Ci.
"Wow, Song Ci is so handsome." Li Jinming looked at Boss Song, who was wearing a well-ironed suit and had a handsome face. He couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, with stars in his eyes and a crazy look on his face.
Deng Jiajia also echoed the sentiment, looking at the screen with a bit of admiration: "He is indeed very handsome, outshining all the male stars in the entertainment industry, and he deserves the title of a noble man in the world."
Liu Shishi listened to the girls praising her husband and felt secretly proud in her heart, but she still pretended to be proud and said: "Song Ci is indeed a little handsome, everyone should take a closer look."
"Song Ci is just a little handsome!" Li Jin muttered. He really wanted to argue with the first sister for his idol's looks, but just as the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt Deng Jiajia touching him from behind.
I turned my head subconsciously and saw my friend shaking her head at me. I immediately understood what she meant. There was no need to confront the first sister for such a small matter. She was an investor. So I quickly restrained my emotions and concentrated on watching "Headline Star".
On the screen, the interview had officially begun. The host, Li Hong, asked the first question in a clear voice:
"Mr. Song, you have rarely accepted media interviews. In the eyes of outsiders, you are young and famous, and you are full of energy and ambition. You should be very high-profile."
Song Ci was composed and spoke high-sounding principles in a pompous manner, about how one should be low-key in life and high-key in work, and how although he had achieved some results by chance, he was still a newcomer in the business world and not as good as the older generation of entrepreneurs. His words were very logical.
Liu Shishi giggled when she heard this. She had asked her husband this question before. Mr. Song's answer at that time was that he was a game developer and was afraid of being criticized for being too high-profile. Unexpectedly, he gave all kinds of high-sounding reasons in front of the camera.
Then, Li Hong asked several questions about Tengda Group's future development strategy, technological innovation and other aspects. Song Ci gave wonderful answers with witty remarks and concise and powerful language, winning applause from the audience.
The first few questions are just appetizers, and the more formal topics are usually used to stimulate discussion.
Few viewers are interested in highly professional topics such as macro-strategy and corporate planning. They are more concerned about celebrities' daily lives and emotional gossip.
After asking some questions about business, Li Hong slightly adjusted her sitting posture, becoming more casual:
"Mr. Song, your career is so successful, I believe your love life must be wonderful too. I think the audience in the audience and in front of the screen must be very curious, can you share a little bit with us?"
Song Ci shook her head slightly, with a hint of happiness on her face: "Actually, my love life is very simple. I think everyone knows that I got married on New Year's Day. My lover and I have been childhood sweethearts and are each other's first love.
From knowing each other, falling in love, to getting married, everything happened naturally. So my emotional experience is very ordinary, and there is nothing special to share. "
When Li Jinming heard this, he exclaimed: "I understand!"
The other three were startled by her scream. Deng Jiajia gently hit her shoulder and snorted unhappily, "Jin Ming, you're so jumpy. It's scary."
Liu Shishi asked curiously, "What do you understand?"
"I understand why Song Ci got married so early!"
Seeing Miss Li's face that showed she knew the truth, Master Liu was very interested: "Tell me what the reason is."
Li Jinming analyzed seriously and non-stop: "From what Song Ci said just now, I inferred that he is actually a novice in emotions!
Just think about it, he only dated Qingmei, and he was probably too busy with his career to have much contact with other women.
If he were given more time to interact with other women and see the vast forest outside, perhaps a drama of childhood sweethearts being defeated by the man who comes from heaven would happen.
So, if you were Song Ci's girlfriend, would you be anxious and want to get married early to tie him down? "
Lou Yixiao listened to this well-reasoned analysis and nodded: "Jin Ming, I think what you said makes sense."
"Hmph." Liu Shishi snorted lightly: "How can Tianjiang be a match for Qingmei? Do you know how important Qingmei is to Song Ci? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. Be quiet and continue watching."
Li Jinming was timid and looked aggrieved, not daring to argue with Sister Yi.
Li Hong was slightly stunned on the screen. Although Song Ci described his feelings simply, with just a few words, he outlined the most beautiful and pure love:
"From childhood sweethearts to a promise to grow old together, this may be the most romantic thing in the world. It is really something that people yearn for."
After a moment of stunned silence, Li Hong immediately adjusted her state of mind and became more and more curious about Song Ci's wife, whom she had only heard of but never met:
"Mr. Song, you have always shared your relationship progress on Weibo, from proposing and getting engaged last year to getting your marriage certificate this year, but why haven't you announced the identity of your wife?"
Song Ci smiled and said, "It's just that the time has not come yet. One day when she feels the time is right, she will announce it herself."
Li Hong was quick-witted and asked tentatively, "Is she a public figure?"
Song Ci paused, then nodded slightly.
Li Hong's eyes lit up and she asked further, "Can you tell me a little bit about her occupation?"
Song Ci smiled without saying anything, with a mysterious look on his face, and did not answer any more questions.
"A public figure! Could it be some female celebrity?" Li Jinming exclaimed again, and immediately covered her mouth, fearing that Sister Yi would blame her for making noise.
Liu Shishi didn't say anything this time, but just glanced at her, thinking that Li Jinming usually looked cute and silly, but now he has become smart and actually guessed it right.
Seeing that Yijie didn't say anything, Deng Jiajia also bravely shared a piece of gossip: "I heard a rumor that Huayi's actress Che Xiao married a super rich man and will hold a wedding banquet soon. Song Ci's wife can't be Che Xiao."
Lou Yixiao also analyzed: "Song Ci and Che Xiao are both from Beijing, maybe it's possible."
Liu Shishi curled her lips with disdain: "Don't make blind guesses, Che Xiao was born in 1982, Mr. Song will not like an old woman who is five years older than him!"
Li Hong asked a few more questions, racking her brains, trying various ways to find out the identity of Song Ci's lover, but he dealt with them all skillfully.
Faced with the boss's flawless answer, Li Hong was helpless and could only skip this topic and continue to ask: "How do you and your lover get along with each other?"
"When she was little, I read a book while she danced. Later, we grew up and each had our own careers. We didn't see each other every day, but when we were together, there was no change. She played games online and browsed Weibo, while I wrote a book."
"Dancing!" Li Jinming grasped the key word, but this time he controlled his emotions and did not say anything. He was thinking that he would check online to see if there were any dancers who were about the same age as Song Ci and whose registered residence was in Peking.
Li Hong was also helpless with Song Ci. Every time this richest man answered, it was like playing a guessing game. He would always inadvertently reveal a little bit of information, but the information was vague and kept people in suspense.
After asking a few more questions in accordance with the rules, the interview entered the question-and-answer session for netizens. The large screen in the studio quickly scrolled, showing messages from netizens on the official Weibo account of "Headline Star".
Li Hong glanced across the electronic screen: "Mr. Song, this netizen is a loyal fan of yours, and she noticed an interesting detail.
You used to wear an ordinary Longines watch, but why did you suddenly change to an Omega gold watch last year?"
When Song Ci heard this question, he subconsciously raised his hand and showed the camera the watch on his wrist and the dazzling wedding ring on his finger.
"I wear two watches alternately. The one I'm wearing today is Longines. This Longines watch was her first Valentine's Day gift to me in 2005.
Although the price of this watch is not high, it was all she had at that time. This Longines watch is of great significance to me, as it carries the most sincere emotions of our youth.
So I love it the most and wear it the longest. As for the Omega, she gave it to me on Valentine's Day last year after we got engaged. The two watches represent two important stages of our relationship."
At this moment, listening to her husband telling the origin of the two watches, Liu Shishi held her pretty face in her hands, recalled the past, and couldn't help but be in a trance!
