Chapter 350 Career Line
It was still in Fangxi's underground cinema in Gangcheng, but this time the content on the screen was changed from a sample to a projection of tonight's finale of "Fan Hua Xing".
The massage chairs that had previously occupied the center of the theater had been moved to a corner. Combined with the low tables brought in from upstairs, and the various food stacked on top, as if for a party, the room felt more like a family gathering than a theater.
Despite a full day of filming, the young actors on set were increasingly energetic. Perhaps due to the lack of a manager's control and the familiarity they'd developed after a day of filming, even the idea of gathering together to view a property for the finale of "Flower Walk" was a joint proposal to Qin Zi.
As the person in charge of the photoshoot for the promotional photos for "Letters from Time and Space," Qin Zi naturally agreed to this proposal, which wasn't even a question at all. Furthermore, he even promised to treat everyone to a good meal tonight.
After their final group photo, the young artists nearly overturned the studio with their screams. Luckily, the neighboring apartment was empty, otherwise there would have been a noise pollution complaint.
At that moment, leaning against the doorway and sniffing the carbohydrate-rich aroma in the air, Qin Zi's mouth twitched. The feast he'd promised wasn't going to be a bunch of fattening food, but he let the kids order whatever they wanted. What could he do?
Seeing some people inside already devouring their food before the show even started, Qin Zi knocked on the door. Once he was sure everyone was looking at him, he said seriously, "Just indulge yourself for one day. In a few days, you'll have to start attending events."
Qin Zi didn't need to explain their purpose for coming to Hong Kong; the other actors were constantly being told by their agents to control their diets. The roadshow would soon begin, and the key was whether they could leverage their publicity to attract fans.
When Qin Zi knocked on the door, Ju Ziang already had a crispy chicken drumstick stuffed in his mouth. The few pimples on his face looked shiny under the light. Realizing that he was the focus of attention, he couldn't help but blush.
He moved his head behind Teng Ruicheng and gnawed on the chicken leg with a "crunch, crunch" sound. The greedy boy was really crazy about it. God knows how much he admired the girls in the group. They really made amazing efforts to be on camera.
"Teacher Qin," Bu Zhengsi stood up from the carpet and looked around for a moment. After realizing that Zhou Xiao was indeed nowhere to be found in the room, he raised his hand and asked Qin Zi, "Teacher Zhou, won't you come watch it with us? I came to watch 'Flowering Flowers' partly because of the stills she took!"
It was precisely because of Director Fang and Teacher Zhou Xiao's second collaboration that Bu Zhengsi dared to ask directly. In her opinion, if the two teachers had not had a pleasant collaboration on the previous play, there would be no chance of a second collaboration.
Fang Dong, who had been silent nearby, pricked up her ears upon hearing this. She had already updated "Flowering Journey" to the latest version over the past few days, and when she looked at the official blog, she almost subconsciously identified the materials that were written by Teacher Zhou.
Fang Dong was more thoughtful than Bu Zheng. Her eyes practically lit up as she looked at the stills. No wonder the comments from fans in the crew's comment section couldn't outweigh the comments from the show's fans. Teacher Zhou Xiao's photos, taken during the entire production, were truly impressive.
A glance back, a flick of the sleeve, coupled with the metaphorical plot background, this is undoubtedly a treasure trove for passers-by who follow the drama. Fang Dong was initially puzzled and regretful that Zhou Xiao didn't come, so his attention was now focused on Qin Zi, who was leaning on the threshold.
Qin Zi was being stared at by so many people, but he didn't seem to mind. Instead, he raised an eyebrow, then cast his gaze to the screen beside him and said with a casual smile, "The finale has begun."

——【Entertainment Forum】——[March 28th evening]
[Topic] After watching the finale of "Flower City", I can only say that I'm lucky I bought Super Point! It's so cool to watch the drama together with everyone!
[Main Building] I declare this to be my favorite ancient business war drama of the year! The IQ is online throughout, and the tit-for-tat of the male and female protagonists in the early stage and their cooperation in the later stage to make their business bigger and stronger is really exciting!
I'm posting a still from the show for fun. It's so delicious! Please give me a second season! I want a second season! [Knock on the pot]
[picture]
The picture is a still from the official Weibo of "Flowering Journey" released today, showing the protagonists Chang Ying and Ren Hongzhe opening pearl clams at a pearl farm.

Thanks to Sister Tong for choosing to reset the early episodes, which allowed me to continue watching and not miss the opportunity to discuss the plot with my sisters in the group~ I was really scared when I opened the barrage kkkk There are so many people!

I feel that it is a bit difficult to pair up again. What kind of plot can be filmed later? Wouldn’t it be better to let the ending be frozen in the last scene? The main reason is that the fans attracted by the two of them are a bit unworthy of the level of this small hit drama. The personal super talk is really far worse than the drama, emmm

I'd like to insert a little bit of gossip in the chaos. I heard that Lu Mengqi and Jiang Linhe will definitely have a joint magazine! So everyone can look forward to it~

Hey, I haven't heard from my sister Zhou recently. Are they really preparing for a magazine photo shoot? Oh my god! If this really happened, I'll directly perform a backhand lottery in the post!

As far as I know, the photographer you hired is not the one mentioned above.

[Crying with my hands covering my face] If it weren't for Mr. Zhou's words, I would just be giving a suggestion, don't add to the story.
…
The content of the post by the melon owner in the entertainment group's new post is not only heartbreaking for fans of the "He Qi Sheng Cai" CP, but also undoubtedly devastating news for fans of both actors.
There is no fan of a single artist who doesn't want to become a CP fan before the show is broadcast. In fact, because of the vigorous promotion of "Flowers Journey", some people have already laid the groundwork to become big CP fans in advance to attract fans for their own artists and finally purify them.
It's just that the current CP fans are all like masters, and they will directly draw a line in the sand when faced with fan abuse. The fans of the March drama are not just talking. And because of the ugly photos of Jiang Linhe smoking in the early stage, a large number of fans of the drama have long been focused on the interactions between the characters in the drama.
Over here, Chen Suhua was already starting to feel a headache as she watched the fans scurrying around the square. Frowning, she read the comments. Fans wanted her to definitely choose Zhou Xiao as the photographer, but was that something she could decide?
Putting aside the magazine shoot itself, it's largely a decision made by the producer and the magazine. If makeup artists and photographers could just pay the money directly, there wouldn't be the issue of artist studios being hesitant to meet fan requests. Besides, when they accept an order, they have a plan and considerations.
Because of tonight's finale of "Flower Walk," Lu Mengqi's fans were arguably the most active they've ever been in the square. Chen Suhua curled her lips as she looked at the large posters in Daming Square accusing her of the seven deadly sins. She then switched her app to her Moments and began to scroll through them.
For Chen Suhua, instead of looking at the square, she might as well take a look at what her colleagues have been up to recently. So, after she swiped a few times, a group photo with the Hong Kong city location came into view.
"That's rare," Chen Suhua murmured. The diverse connections in this photo were enough to make any agent drool. Even the one she added had taken considerable effort to get to know. Yes, it wasn't even close to being an acquaintance.
Films have always had a deep barrier to television dramas. Chen Suhua's short-term goal this year is to leverage the popularity of "Flower Walk" to land her own artists a standout supporting role in a major director's film...
Thousands of thoughts came back to her mind, and when she turned her attention back to the photo, Chen Suhua felt something was wrong. She had met Zhou Xiao many times on the set, and now she saw the protagonist sitting next to Fang Xi in the photo at a glance.
Chen Suhua's heart skipped a beat at this. She wondered, "Could this be Zhou Xiao, the rumored talent Fang Xi is training?" But wasn't she a photographer? Well, it seems quite a few big directors have switched careers... By comparison, switching from screenwriters to photographers is pretty common in the industry.
However, regardless of whether Zhou Xiao was assigned to the Fangxi camp or not, Chen Suhua was truly envious of this child's luck.
…
Zhou Xiao was sitting next to Fang Xi in the private salon in Gangcheng, watching her casually chatting with others. Although this was just a simple gathering, she was a little surprised by the many familiar faces that came tonight.
For example, the bald man sitting under the lamp—though his hair looks as eye-catching as if it were waxed—actually, he's filmed quite a few movies in Hong Kong, and even has some connections with Fang Xi, so the two of them could barely be considered fellow students.
Zhou Xiaolai explained that the story began today after the promotional photos for "Letters from Time and Space" were taken. She had originally planned to help the crew clean up the set. After all, the location used for filming was borrowed, not rented, so it had to be restored to its original state.
Unexpectedly, before she could do anything, Fang Xi from the next room came over and asked Zhou Xiao if he was free today. She had a private party and asked if he wanted to join her.
Zhou Xiao had heard Director Fang mention this over the phone before, saying he would take her to meet some friends. But she was surprised by how fast it was. She had assumed they would wait until they had finalized the cooperation agreement with the overseas investors before meeting.
But seeing that Director Fang looked like he just wanted to take her out for some fun, Zhou Xiao thought for a moment and agreed. She had originally been thinking of picking out a few pictures to edit tonight, and since the sponsor (referring to Fang Xi) didn't mind, she just accepted the favor.
As Zhou Xiao was brought into this place for the first time, she initially followed Fang Xi obediently. Although she didn't know many people there, there were a few familiar faces who were well-known in the domestic entertainment industry and Hong Kong.
The atmosphere on the sofa was wonderful. Although it was evening, Zhou Xiao felt it was not much different from the discussion groups he'd had back in his student days. Even the people who looked unfriendly had a comfortable vibe when they talked. Clearly, the members were naturally bipolar.
"It's my turn to talk to you this time," Fang Xi said to Zhou Xiao with a smile, "Be bold and relax, these are all friends."
Zhou Xiao nodded. It was exactly as Director Fang had described. Perhaps because she'd been brought here by Director Fang, everyone was very friendly from the start. For example, the people she'd added to her address book and apps were all saved by these seniors who had asked her to do so.
Fang Xi was about to say something when she saw someone walk in from the doorway. She smiled at Zhou Xiao and raised her hand to greet the person. Soon, a woman who looked very plump and capable appeared in Zhou Xiao's sight.
"Weng Fei, come here quickly! You're the only one missing!" Fang Xi stood up and joked, "If there wasn't tea but no wine right now, you'd probably have to drink a glass yourself!"
Fang Xi was undoubtedly the leader of today's salon. Her teasing only made Zhou Xiao feel the atmosphere around them even more harmonious. Originally drawn together by shared interests, the group showed no signs of fatigue, even as time wore on.
At this moment, Zhou Xiao had already let herself go a little. She held the tea and snacks and casually and freely discussed the topics that interested her.
The person who impressed her most was Weng Fei, who arrived late. From photographer to director and then to vice president of a video platform, it can be said that her journey has been quite wonderful.
The salon wasn't too long, but it wasn't too short either. However, under Fang Xi's guidance, everyone who left looked like they had had a very enjoyable conversation.
However, as Zhou Xiao and Fang Xi saw off the guests, he keenly noticed that many people's expressions changed as they left. On the surface, the conversation seemed harmonious, but underneath it was actually hiding a deeper conflict of interests.
After seeing off the last customer, Fang Xi looked at Zhou Xiao and said with some regret, "I feel like something's missing if you don't follow me offline! Are you sure you're leaving?"
