Not long after Ye Jingran left the Wei family, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Wei Lan's consciousness.
'Lucky Aura has been consumed, mall items refreshed'
Wei Lan: ? ? System, you play me?
The system still replied with the same words Wei Lan had said before: 'The halo has taken effect, please experience it yourself.'
Wei Lan was mad: It's happening in a place I don't know about again? How can I experience it!
She now understood that this lucky halo was an uncertain factor. Its mechanism and effect were random, and it might not necessarily apply to her. It was just a waste of points!
...But having said that, Wei Lan's body was still honest and bought another one.
Even if she couldn't use it actively, it was still a safety net, because she suspected that she had used the halo too late, which led to Ye Jingran bumping into her. If she had equipped it earlier, perhaps Ye Jingran would have remembered to bring his phone, and the bumping into him wouldn't have happened at all...
But things have already happened, so I can only buy another one to be on the safe side. After all, Director Wei is very rich now, and he is very generous whether it is real money or virtual points.
System: ...Thank you for your patronage.
…
Ye Jingran went to the police station to cooperate with the investigation and told the police everything he knew.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see the front row at the time, and I don't remember what biotech company it was. I can recall this now because this matter is a bit strange. A film production company would not normally be related to a biotech company. If I hadn't learned about Lanlan's situation today, I would never have thought of this..."
The policeman on the other side nodded in understanding and continued taking the statement.
"I can relate it because Qiao Lianqing reacted very strongly at the time. I now have some doubts. The reason why Qiao Lianqing framed me and slandered me first and made me the target of public criticism was that she was worried that I would pester her and wanted to get rid of my girlfriend identity..." At this point, he smiled sarcastically: "She was the one who pursued me in the beginning, and I was obedient to her all those years, so she thought I couldn't leave her and would pester her in the future?"
Hearing his words, the two policemen who were taking the statement showed sympathetic looks. It's not like public officials don't have time for leisure and entertainment. The uproar over Ye Jingran's incident hasn't passed yet. They naturally understand the whole story and can't help but feel some sympathy for Ye Jingran.
"Now that you mention this, I have new doubts. She stepped on me so hard at the time and used my depression as an issue. She just wanted to discredit me as a mentally ill, drug-addicted lunatic. By then, no one will care about what I say, and no one will believe it is true..." Just like Yin Tianlei, the protagonist in Wei Lan's "Soul Epidemic", after being diagnosed as mentally ill, no one took Ye Jingran's words seriously.
The two policemen looked at each other and nodded slightly. They did not rule out this possibility. Just the information they got from Ye Jingran that Chengguang had connections with a biotech company was crucial to them. It meant that their suspects and previous layout were not in vain.
"Well, Mr. Ye, this is my phone number. If you remember any information about this later, please contact us as soon as possible, okay?"
"no problem."
Ye Jingran saved the policeman's phone number. On the way home from the police station, he turned on his phone and looked through the address book.
In this matter, he not only planned to cooperate with the authorities, but he also had connections with some middle-level staff in Chengguang in the past, so perhaps he could get some information indirectly.
Now his cousin's family is involved, plus his past grudges, he won't just sit there and do nothing.
However, this matter involves a lot of problems. Chengguang is not a good person, so everything needs to be done slowly and gradually...
…
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-September and autumn had arrived.
Three months passed, and Ye Jingran's turmoil slowly subsided. Apart from some basic publicity to maintain popularity, Wei Lan's "New World" was quietly completed without disclosing any news to the outside world, as if it had fallen silent.
In order to stabilize Chengguang's stock price, the "Star Wars" crew was very active, and big-name movie stars came to promote the film. Their fans' discussions alone were enough to maintain the publicity, not to mention the involvement of Chengguang's public relations team.
After all, Star Wars is the first big-investment space science fiction movie. Even if it did not achieve the expected phenomenal box office effect due to Wei Lan's sudden appearance, it still has a large number of fans and audiences. The investment was not a loss when the box office of the first two times was calculated. With the bonus of the finale of this series, the box office expectations are very promising.
Just a week ago, Star Wars announced the release date of the movie, the first weekend of October, October 3rd.
Originally, a group of spectators on the Internet were expecting the crew of "New World" which had been missing for a long time to show up. After all, according to the feud between Wei and Chengguang, everyone had always suspected that "Rural Teacher" was Wei Lan's intentional attack on "Star Wars". Although everyone thought it was a cross-level attack at the beginning, the performance of "Rural Teacher" later did achieve the effect of a sniper.
This time there is also Ye Jingran’s lawsuit. Everyone thought that the release dates of two movies with the same theme that started shooting almost simultaneously would definitely clash. Unexpectedly, it has been a week since the release date of "Star Wars" was announced, but there has been no movement from Wei Lan yet.
The fans who had been hungry for three months were not happy and posted @魏岚’s Weibo:
"Director Wei, Director Chen is filming a new movie, it's time for you to come out and show up."
"No, no, some people haven't finished filming their movies yet, right?"
"If anyone tries to play tricks on me like this, I'll just post a trailer and announce the release date!"
Unfortunately, after such a week, there was no new news released on Wei Lan’s Weibo or his studio’s Weibo, which disappointed the onlookers.
…
The trend of holographic variety shows is changing all the time, but the most popular variety show this month is the "New Director Star" large-scale competition program hosted by the Directors Association and Lizhi TV to discover cutting-edge directors.
Lizhi TV has rich experience in holographic variety shows. The once popular holographic competition program "Actors Go Forward" was planned by them. Unfortunately, due to the appearance of a panda that did not abide by martial ethics, the content of the program deviated more and more, and was given nicknames such as "Actors' Quarrel Collection" and "Dog-blood Go Forward". Although it still has good ratings now, it has deviated from the original intention of the program.
It just so happened that all the major drama schools and directors' associations were planning to encourage the discovery of new directors, and they found the experienced Lizhi TV to host the show, which made the producers very happy. There was a sense of regret in completing this show.
As the name suggests, the "New Director Star" competition is mainly aimed at showcasing and discovering directors. It has now reached the semi-finals, and two seeds for the finals will be selected from four outstanding new directors.
Although this program is called a competition, its fundamental purpose is to make newcomers famous. The theme focuses on the cooperation between directors and actors. Although the protagonists of the program are new directors, the actors are also praised. The actors are like cards in the hands of the directors and are divided into levels and allocated to different directors according to the competition system. In addition to new actors, the actor pool also includes some talented but not popular actors.
During the time the show has been aired, many actors have become famous because of it.
In addition to the audience vote, which has the largest proportion in the final scoring, the judges are all actors, all of whom are well-known movie actors with impressive resumes.
This type of competition program is broadcast live in real time. The new episode will be broadcast at 3 pm this Saturday, and viewers who want to follow the update can connect on time.
"Welcome everyone to the competition of "New Director Star." Because they are from the same production team, the host is also the same, Lu Man, the female host of "Actors Forward."
"In this episode, our four semi-final directors have prepared a new visual feast for us after a week of shooting and preparation, together with the excellent actors they led. Whose work are you most looking forward to?"
Although there were no live audiences in the holographic show, the real-time comments were very lively. As soon as Luhman finished speaking, a bunch of comments flashed in front of him.
After six episodes, the new directors and their actors have accumulated a lot of fans. At this time, the names of four directors appeared in the barrage, and there were also many words praising the actors.
Lu Man smiled and said, "Of course, in addition to the four new directors, there is also the boss director and the actors they are going to challenge together in this episode. They are already ready."
Director Boss introduced the off-site competition system starting from the quarterfinals to increase the fun and challenge of the show.
The boss director is a common challenge for all new directors in the competition. Candidates for the boss director are all well-known directors in the industry. The works of the boss director will also be scored by the audience and judges. If a new director can beat the boss director in the score, he or she can advance directly, while others who cannot beat him or her will have to go through another elimination round among new directors.
Of course, it is unfair for a fledgling new director to be compared with famous directors and the actors they direct.
So in order to be fair, the short films of the new directors were prepared and shot a week in advance. However, it was different for the boss directors. The subject matter and themes of their short films were decided by drawing lots on the spot. When the works of the new directors were broadcast and reviewed, they only had one hour of the show to prepare and shoot, and the scores were released at the end.
This makes it interesting and also barely strikes a balance between the experience of new directors and professional directors.
Luhman held the script and smiled slightly: "Before we start to review the works of the four new directors, let's take a look at the identity label of this boss director..."
She changed the script card in her hand and read out the words on it:
“A model worker in the industry.”
Not only the judges and contestants on the scene, but also the audience in the barrage began to guess the identity of the boss director.
'It shows that the frequency of the work is very high'
'I don't know if it's a movie or a TV show'
Luman changed the label card again and read: "Billion-dollar club."
“Wow!”
The four new directors participating in the competition showed surprised expressions. A director with a box office of over 100 million is definitely a well-known person in the industry.
'He must be a movie director!'
'He should be a director who focuses on commercial films'
"Is it the total box office of hundreds of millions or a single film? If it is a single film, then the director must be very famous."
Seeing the last label card, Luman couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
“Best Director.”
At this point, not only the new directors exclaimed in surprise, but the movie stars on the jury could not help but reveal surprised expressions. They didn't know what award it was for Best Director, but apart from unknown awards that can be bought with money, winning an award is definitely a proof of one's ability.
The comments were equally surprising:
'Who is this big shot coming?'
'The range of directors who can meet all these requirements is very small!'
Suddenly a bullet screen flashed by:
'I have a wild idea... could it be her?'
