Chapter 119
Although these are all behind-the-scenes industries, Shen Mingzheng has invested so much money that it is impossible for nothing to happen, and naturally there will be rumors leaking out. His initiative is not just talk, it is hundreds of millions or even billions of support.
Moreover, some technical matters cannot be solved by just spending money once; they require a steady stream of money and cooperation from all sides.
There are many people who regret their relationships, but it is hard to find someone who is willing to spend so much on other people's careers without any regrets. As time goes by, even spectators are somewhat shaken.
But looking from behind, if Shen Mingzheng, who had just taken over the Shen family, insisted on making such a decision, he would encounter a lot of resistance. But if everyone knew that he did it because he wanted to make amends and win Su Ning back, it would be much smoother.
Almost everyone in the industry thinks Su Ning is worth it.
No one investigated the deeper meaning behind his words, and no one thought that this was actually for the common goal of him and Su Ning. Even Shen Antang nodded in agreement when he heard it abroad, and even praised him for his courage and willingness to give.
This kind of gift is something that no one would refuse; it is a sum of money that cannot be refused.
Su Ning accepted it with a clear conscience. Of course, on the surface, he still refused it as planned to make this matter seem more natural.
This play was good for them, so they kept on performing it, and Shen Mingzheng was obviously enjoying it.
His peacock behavior lasted for a long time, and he finally did everything he wanted to do to pursue his wife. After a while, it was shown to the public that Mr. Shen's progress in pursuing his wife had obviously made great progress, because when he went to visit the crew, he went with Su Ning, and it seemed that he had finally succeeded in getting the upper hand.
It was that Su Ning always acted in a businesslike manner outside, and the entire crew watched and felt that Mr. Shen was indeed very clingy, but this Shen Mingzheng was not acting, he was just revealing his true nature.
Su Ning didn't really act. When the two of them were together in private, he always accommodated Shen Mingzheng. He could be said to be willing to do whatever Shen Mingzheng asked for, and he could do anything, but he was really not used to it when he was with other people outside.
Therefore, her helplessness towards Shen Mingzheng outside was seen by others as an unconcealable estrangement after a broken relationship was reunited.
Although neither of them was disguising themselves, other people's imaginations made the story seem flawless, and even the people around Shen Mingzheng were quite cooperative.
For example, Chen Tao, who is usually a very serious person, joined the game smoothly.
It was windy when they visited the set today, and it was much colder than when they first arrived. When Shen Mingzheng left to get him clothes from the car, he took out the thermos and poured Su Ning a cup of hot tea.
"Boss Shen specially cooked it before he went out," he said, "It's cold today, and he kept it in mind, fearing that Boss Su would catch a cold."
Su Ning: ...?
This was cooked by Shen Mingzheng, of course he knew it, the red dates in it were found by Su Ning for him. The two of them lived together, how could he not know what Shen Mingzheng was doing in the kitchen? Tea was often drunk at home, and Chen Tao should know it very well.
Then Chen Tao said the next sentence, and Su Ning understood.
"To be honest, he has never been truly happy since he broke up with you," Chen Tao sighed, looking serious, "Mr. Shen did all this willingly. I shouldn't have said anything, but I still hope you can give him a chance."
Although the two people were supposed to gradually reconcile at this time point, Chen Tao's adaptability was unexpected by Su Ning. At this moment, the crew was shooting behind-the-scenes footage, and they would intentionally or unintentionally shoot this side. In addition, the environment here was crowded, and there were many people nearby, so naturally someone would hear it clearly.
Su Ning took a sip of tea and replied, "...I know."
To others he seemed to be in deep thought, but Su Ning was thinking about something else.
——So you also read crematorium literature on the Internet.
Chen Tao’s character is clearly that of the loyal old butler who “the young master never smiled again.”
The most interesting thing is that something seems true but not true, and seems false but not false. The mixture of truth and falsehood can always attract attention on the surface.
But few people pay attention to some things behind the scenes. Behind the "ups and downs" of Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning's relationship is real hard work.
This kind of resources has produced results in the drama "Xiu Xian". This drama has no original work, but an original script, but the costumes of the main characters have already become popular during the filming process, flowing and exquisite.
The weapon used by the heroine played by Ji Xue is a whisk, which fits her somewhat old-fashioned image at the beginning. The various martial arts moves in the film were also specially designed.
Hong Kong City has extensive experience in this type of fantasy martial arts films, and staff from Hong Kong City’s Shen family can also be seen in the crew, enriching the entire team.
Shen Zhaolan's choice to turn against the company at that time did not mean that he was a good person, but he was obviously a smart and pragmatic businessman, and naturally a qualified partner. In the previous projects, Gangcheng's performance was indeed impeccable, so it was natural to continue the cooperation.
Shen Zhaolan knew what he should do, so he also contributed in the process of Shen Mingzheng taking over the Shen family, making the whole thing go much more smoothly.
At this time, Shen Mingzheng had safely passed the most difficult time of taking over the Shen family and becoming the head of the family with the help of all these things.
There were no obstacles to his investment, and all the cooperation went smoothly. His relationship with Su Ning also became more stable. Later, he still had to go to the capital for work, but he stayed in Haicheng most of the time. Wherever Su Ning went, he could usually be seen nearby.
At this time, everyone at Guangying Entertainment had become numb to the various love confession gifts sent to them, and afterwards they could be seen standing together in various formal occasions.
The circle seems to be happy with this situation.
Because the investors behind the scenes were generous and provided more job opportunities, the entire entertainment circle became more active than before. Moreover, after Shen Mingzheng took over, he quickly achieved tangible results.
In addition to some of the film and television projects that have been broadcast, the most eye-catching thing is that Ye Qiuxin was selected as the Best Actress of the Thorn Awards.
The work she was selected for was Tong Fei's "The Book of Mountains and Wilderness". Ye Qiuxin was the female lead and had a lot of roles. It can be said that the whole film was developed from the perspective of the protagonist.
This film tells the story of the creation of a magazine for rural women called "Farmer's Daughter". The story begins with a magazine that collects contributions from rural women with a junior high school or even elementary school education and publishes them together, focusing on the simple expressions of grassroots women.
The movie was made with great care. Although the box office and return on investment were not as good as Tong Feifan's previous movie, it received high ratings on major websites, and many film critics also gave it extremely excellent reviews.
Obviously, Tong Feifan is not only good at taking pictures now, but his storytelling is also becoming more and more mature.
This film was selected for the Thorn Award. A few days ago, the list of nominees for the Thorn Award was announced. "The Book of Mountains and Wilderness" was selected as the best film, and Ye Qiuxin was also shortlisted for the best actress.
When the news reached back to the country, public opinion was abuzz with discussion and the public seemed very excited.
Because the "Thorn Award" is by no means an ordinary award.
Several domestic awards, such as the star-studded Audience Choice Award and several higher-level film festival awards, are not difficult for Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng now. Before Shen Mingzheng took over the Shen family, the movies he invested in had won awards, and Su Ning's previous several entrepreneurial dramas were even hot favorites to win the TV drama championship.
But objectively speaking, these awards are far less important than the "Thorn Award" worldwide.
This award is obviously the top honor in the entertainment industry. Even Su Ning, who has only read a few sentences of the original work, knows it very well. He also learned the origin of the "Thorn Award" a long time ago.
The award is given in a small country. Although it is small, it has a developed economy and beautiful scenery. It has remained neutral in many wars in the past, thus protecting many displaced artists. Thus, it established the world-famous "Thorn Award".
Because it was first established during a time of war, it was very difficult to talk about art and protect culture in that situation, but people still continued to work hard for it. The cultural journey was full of thorns, so it was named "Thorns", and it gradually grew and gained recognition from all over the world.
This award has a history of more than 200 years.
In fact, the Thorn Award itself is a very large evaluation mechanism, covering many aspects of the entertainment industry. Among them, the most popular and most watched awards are naturally the film awards.
Su Ning didn't pay much attention to this before because he felt it was too far away from it. Not to mention the Haicheng circle, no domestic films have been shortlisted for several years.
Although the movie "Book of Mountains and Wilderness" was produced by Gaoshan Pictures, it was invested by Su Ning, and the main actors are still from his side. So when it was screened abroad, Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng put in a lot of effort and they tried their best to promote it.
The film was very well received when it was broadcast abroad and sparked widespread discussion, so it was shortlisted for this year's Thorn Awards. Otherwise, domestic acclaim alone would not have been enough to create such momentum.
This is naturally great news.
Even for an actor, even if he didn't win the award, now that he has been nominated, Ye Qiuxin's status in the circle has changed completely, not to mention its significance to the entire circle.
Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng also have their own worries and thoughts. Su Ning remembers the original meaning, that the Thorn Award is not that simple, there are some tricks behind it, and Shen Mingzheng has actually experienced it.
Moreover, he obviously saw more after taking over the Shen family.
The Shen family has a relationship with the Thorn Award, and it was established very early, at least a few decades ago. At that time, there were indeed more domestic works shortlisted for the award, and the quality was indeed very high, and the award was well deserved. However, since Shen Antang took over, this relationship has been severed.
It has been too long, and the specific reason is no longer known, but based on some information, Shen Antang offended someone during his rise to power, and this line was broken.
And after he took over the Shen family, although this huge family made a lot of money, the practice of creating good works regardless of cost almost did not exist.
Even if Shen Antang wanted to reconcile with the Thorn Prize, it was not that simple. In his previous life, it seemed that he had spent a long time, and it was not until many years later, after paying an unknown amount, that he finally pushed "The Name of the Rose" forward.
Now, Shen Mingzheng, who had just taken over, was obviously better than Shen Antang in being favored by the Thorn Award.
