Chapter 344: Little Liu Shishi
May 31, Tangren Film and Television Company.
The bright sunshine of early summer poured into the office area, and Liu Shishi stepped into the Tangren Film and Television Building, which she had not visited for a long time.
"Hello, Senior Sister!" "Teacher Liu, you're back!"
When the employees of Tangren Film and Television saw Yijie's figure, they all stood up and greetings rang out in the office area.
Liu Shishi smiled and nodded in response, and instructed the two assistants: "Lin Xia, Xiao Xiao, help me distribute the gifts I brought back from Europe to everyone."
"Okay." Lin Xia responded and took Su Xiaoxiao, a newly appointed personal assistant, to distribute gifts to everyone.
In the president's office, Cai Yinong and Hu Ge were sitting on the sofa discussing something. When they saw Yijie pushing the door open, they both smiled at the same time.
Liu Shishi smiled and waved the gift bag in her hand: "Hello, Sister K, Lao Hu. I brought you some small gifts from Europe."
The gift she gave to Cai Yinong was a bottle of Gucci Floral Eau de Parfum, and the gift she prepared for Hu Ge was a Gucci wallet.
"Thank you! I just need a new wallet." Hu Ge took the gift. Although it was just a small thing, it was a gift from Liu Shishi.
Cai Yinong also gladly accepted it and asked with concern: "Did you have a good time in Europe for the past half month?"
Liu Shishi sat down next to Sister K: "It's quite interesting. I can only rely on myself for everything. It's a different experience."
"Shishi, you really shine in the variety show 'Flowers and Youth'!" Hu Ge gestured excitedly.
"Not to mention the surge in popularity, it has also received official recognition and diplomatic support, and is considered a model for promoting Sino-European culture. It makes me itchy and I want to participate in the next episode to travel abroad."
Hu Ge was eager to try. This trip to Europe was very fruitful. She not only won the contract to be the global spokesperson for the famous luxury brand Gucci.
It also facilitated the return of the Old Summer Palace animal heads to their homeland, and won unanimous praise from official media. It was a great win-win for both fame and fortune.
Seeing that Lao Hu, who never participated in variety shows, was jealous, Liu Shishi smiled secretly: "If you want to go, go. Director Liao will definitely welcome you to participate!"
Cai Yinong looked pleased and pushed a stack of materials on the coffee table in front of Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi took it curiously and looked at it carefully. These pages of materials turned out to be special reports on her trip to Europe by major official media recently.
"People's Daily": Liu Shishi's trip to Europe demonstrated her responsibility as a cultural ambassador and promoted mutual learning between Chinese and European civilizations. The return of the animal heads from the Old Summer Palace continued the national memory.
Huaxin News Agency: Sino-French friendship adds a new chapter! Liu Shishi's European tour builds a cultural bridge, and the return of the animal heads from the Old Summer Palace writes a new chapter in civilization.
Diplomatic Department: The return of these cultural relics is a vivid practice of mutual learning among civilizations and mutual understanding among peoples. As a public figure, Liu Shishi has promoted transnational cooperation with cultural soft power and provided an innovative example for cultural diplomacy in the new era.
. . . . . .
"I'm going to have the PR department strike while the iron is hot and send out a few more press releases to praise you."
Upon hearing Cai Yinong's proposal, Liu Shishi, who was originally full of pride, quickly waved her hand to refuse:
"Ms. K, please don't! Throughout May, I dominated the trending searches for fourteen days. This is too high-profile! My husband has recently reminded me to be more low-key."
Seeing Yijie's firm attitude, Cai Yinong had no choice but to give up.
Liu Shishi continued to look through the materials in her hand, and suddenly found a script tucked in among them. The big words "The Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs" on the cover were particularly eye-catching. "Is this a movie script?"
Cai Yinong introduced with a smile: "'The Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs' is a new movie that Cheng Long is about to shoot, and the content happens to be about the theme of the twelve animal heads of the Old Summer Palace.
He specially invited you, the ambassador for the return of cultural relics, to play the leading role, hoping to take advantage of your popularity. "
During this period, Tangren's No. 1 sister has become extremely popular and her commercial value has soared.
The company has received dozens of script invitations, and its film pay starts at 5 million, and its pay for a single episode of a TV series is no less than 200,000. It is already one of the few in the entire entertainment industry, and has firmly secured its position as a top-tier star.
Liu Shishi opened the script and was fascinated by the exciting storyline.
"The story of 'The Chinese Zodiac' is really good, and with Cheng Long starring in it, the box office should be good." Seeing that Yi Jie was very interested, Cai Yinong asked tentatively, "Are you interested in taking it?"
"If I don't act, my schedule is really too tight. I have to shoot a Gucci commercial and promotional video in June, join the crew of "Xuan-Yuan Sword" in July, and have a cameo appearance in a new film directed by Chen Kai before the end of the year.
At the beginning of next year, I have to promote "Charlotte's Troubles", so my schedule is full." Liu Shishi shook her head. More importantly, she had to spend more time with her husband.
"Director Chen Kai is going to make a new movie?" Hu Ge couldn't help but interrupt, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
"Yes. When I was in Paris, I promised Sister Hong that I would make a guest appearance." Liu Shishi nodded slightly. She also understood Chen Hong's intention, but it was hard to refuse her kindness.
Hu Ge was secretly amazed. Whether it was Cheng Long's action blockbuster or Chen Kai's literary and artistic film, they were all good resources that all actors in the entertainment industry dreamed of. The title of No. 1 actress was now within easy reach.
"By the way, I have good news for you!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi put down the script in her hand and looked at Sister K with curiosity.
"Jiang Xurou finally gave in and agreed to sell Zhouyi Film and Television to your studio for 30 million." Cai Yinong's words were full of emotion. Zhouyi, which once shared the same glory as Tangren Film and Television in the field of costume dramas, has now come to an end.
"Sister K, how did you convince Jiang Xue to rub it?" Liu Shishi asked in surprise, "Before I went to Europe, didn't she still refuse to give in and insisted on offering 50 million?"
Cai Yinong shook his head: "I didn't do anything. She figured it out on her own. Zhouyi is not launching new dramas now, and employees are constantly leaving. The longer it drags on, the more the company will depreciate."
Liu Shishi nodded thoughtfully. The situation was exactly as Cai Yinong said. Zhou Yi was now like a broken ship, leaking all the time and getting worse and worse.
However, there are still some good things in life. There is no problem for his own studio to accept Zhou Yi's production team and shoot web dramas for TT Video Network.
"Sister K, since Jiang Xuerou has already given in, please help me complete the formalities and sign the contract as soon as possible."
"Issues such as financial audits and copyright disputes have been dealt with. We are just waiting for you to come back and sign the contract."
With just a few words between Liu Shishi and Cai Yinong, the ancient costume giant who had created countless classics came to an end quietly.
The office fell silent for a moment, as if mourning the end of an era. As the three of them were filled with emotion, a crisp knock on the door broke the silence of the office.
"Come in!"
A young man entered the office after being allowed to do so, and bowed respectfully to several people: "Hello, Mr. Cai, Hello, Senior Brother Hu, Hello, Senior Sister Shi!"
Cai Yinong pointed at the newcomer and introduced him with a smile: "Shishi, he is the Jiang Jinfu I mentioned to you before."
Liu Shishi looked up. It was their first meeting and she couldn't help but look at Jiang Jinfu carefully.
His facial features are three-dimensional and his face is angular, which makes him look sunny and handsome, which fits the current popular image of a tough young man.
"Jinfu, please sit down!" Cai Yinong seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Jinfu and Mr. Song have a special connection."
"Oh?" When mentioning her husband, Liu Shishi blinked her beautiful eyes, very curious.
"After graduating from the Donghai Drama Academy, Jinfu became a book model for the novel "Left Ear," and then he gradually became famous. I discovered him and signed him with Tangren."
Liu Shishi looked at the successor chosen by Sister K, and her tone softened: "Have you been a model for the book "Left Ear"?"
"Yes, Senior Sister, I am a loyal fan of Mr. Song's books. I have read every one of his books over and over again." Jiang Jinfu responded cleverly, skillfully trying to get closer to Sister Yi.
This answer obviously pleased Sister Yi, and Liu Shishi's expression was no longer as distant as before.
Of the two male artists at Tangren Film and Television, she had a closer relationship with Lin Gengxin, so she originally had some complaints about Sister K abandoning Lin Gengxin and promoting Jiang Jinfu to succeed Lao Hu, but now that resentment has quietly diminished a little.
"Speaking of The Left Ear, it's very popular recently," Cai Yinong got to the point at the right time, "Now many big directors in the circle are eyeing the film and television adaptation rights of this novel and want to make The Left Ear into a movie."
Ever since Tengda produced "So Young", youth-themed movies have remained popular in the market.
This type of film has low investment costs and high returns, and is the best film investment project. Therefore, some capable and well-connected directors have set their sights on "Left Ear".
Cai Yinong is naturally no exception. He wants to rely on his relationship with Yi Jie to obtain the copyright of "Left Ear" as Tangren's first work to officially enter the big screen.
Liu Shishi nodded gently: "I heard from my husband that even Director Teng Huatao had begged him several times, but he never relented. After all, "Left Ear" is his first novel and has a different kind of feeling."
"Then Mr. Song is not planning to make "Left Ear" into a movie?" Cai Yinong inquired calmly.
Liu Shishi shook her head helplessly: "My husband wanted to take the photo! But he was very dissatisfied with the heroine reported by his subordinates."
Cai Yinong thought for a moment and immediately understood the problem. It turned out that the heroine could not satisfy the richest man.
My eyes couldn't help but linger on Yijie's beautiful face. She had willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a typical oriental beauty. The heroine of "The Left Ear" must be someone with a pure and gentle face.
Boss Song’s aesthetic template is right in front of us, and we can definitely go no wrong by following his example in choosing people.
"Sister K, why are you staring at me like that?" Liu Shishi felt a little uncomfortable with Sister K's scorching gaze.
"Nothing!" Cai Yinong turned his head and overturned his original plan to recommend Gulinazha as the female lead.
Gulinaza is beautiful, but she has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a bright and attractive appearance, which is very different from Liu Shishi's beauty style and is completely not in line with Boss Song's aesthetic taste.
Facts have proved that the richest man only likes this type of girl. If he wants to get this project, he has to choose a "Little Liu Shishi" to succeed.
After talking about "Left Ear", Liu Shishi returned to the topic and had a conversation with Jiang Jinfu, and got to know a little about this successor to the top star.
After the conversation, Cai Yinong asked Jiang Jinfu to leave the office to train in preparation for the start of filming of "Xuan-Yuan Sword".
Liu Shishi continued to look through the materials on the table and chatted casually with Cai Yinong and Hu Ge.
"Shishi, are you familiar with Liu Rong, the president of Southern Cinema?"
Liu Shishi paused, raised her eyes and said, "I know her, but we are not very familiar with her. She usually lives in Guangdong Province, so we don't have much contact. Why, Sister K, do you want to find her for scheduling a film?"
"No!" Cai Yinong said solemnly, "While you were in Europe, Tengda Group announced the implementation of a senior management rotation system. The first pilot projects will be Southern Cinemas and Tengda Culture. It will officially start tomorrow, June 1st."
"In other words, the person in charge of Tengda Culture is Liu Rong?"
"Yes!" Cai Yinong looked helpless. She had tried her best to build a good relationship with Zhang Zhao, but she didn't know that Tengda would rotate the president and had to start the business from scratch.
Despite the relationship with Yijie, Tengda Culture and Tangren Film and Television will not be too distant.
But the extent of support for Tangren depends entirely on the decision of the new president. If Zhang Zhao were still in office, she would be able to secure a lot of good resources.
With the new president, no one can be sure unless Sister Yi speaks up herself.
Liu Shishi smiled knowingly and said, "How about this, Sister K, when you go to Beiping some other day, I'll set up a party and invite Liu Rong out for dinner. You can discuss the rest yourself."
"That's great!" Sister Yi was willing to mediate, and Cai Yinong's worried look suddenly disappeared.
On June 7, the national college entrance examination kicked off.
Celebrities from the entertainment industry have taken to Weibo to cheer for the students, and Liu Shishi is no exception, sending her blessings to the candidates.
Liu Shishi v: I wish all the candidates to soar to the sky, have smooth sailing and achieve immediate success!
PS: The scenery of Peking University’s Yanyuan is beautiful in all seasons. I hope that all of my classmates will become alumni of my husband’s.
Attached is a heart-warming picture. In the picture, Song Ci is handsome and points his finger at the Boya Tower in the distance.
Liu Shishi, who was standing beside him, gently held his arm with a loving look in her eyes.
They stood quietly by the Weiming Lake, the water reflecting their figures, as if the world had frozen at this moment, forming a beautiful picture.
This photo was taken when Song Ci first entered Peking University and took Liu Shishi to visit Yanyuan. It was taken and posted on the Peking University forum.
On the day of the college entrance examination, Liu Shishi suddenly had an idea to dig out this old photo and posted it online. It is not only a good wish for the college entrance examination students, but also a warm recollection of her romantic love with Song Ci.
As soon as this Weibo post was published, netizens left comments one after another:
"Oh my god, they have been together since their school days! They are so handsome and pretty, and they traveled around Peking University together. It's so romantic just to think about it."
"Song Ci is as handsome as ever. No wonder Shishi looks at him with such love in her eyes. What woman can resist an 18-year-old Song Ci?"
"They have a really good relationship and have been loving each other for so many years. They are a model couple in the entertainment industry."
The blessing from a sister to the college entrance examination students is just a small episode among the countless news about the college entrance examination across the country, adding a touch of warmth and romance to the tense atmosphere of the college entrance examination.
The three days of the college entrance examination passed in a flash. On June 10, which happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival, the entertainment industry welcomed another sensational event. The 2011 17th East China Television Festival Magnolia Award Ceremony was grandly held on the banks of the Huangpu River.
Liu Shishi was nominated for Best Actress for her outstanding performance in "Go Lala's Promotion", so naturally she had to attend the awards ceremony.
