Chapter 87
She squatted there and watched the quarrel at first. When she saw Su Ning, she recognized him and knew his relationship with Mr. Shen. At that time, Yan Lu already had some preliminary ideas in her mind.
If anyone else in the entertainment industry had mentioned this to him, Yan Kai would never agree, but when it was Shen Mingzheng who brought it up, he became a little shaken.
He had met so many people in the circle, and Yan Kai knew the character of Mr. Shen.
Besides, He Fan followed behind and also made a firm guarantee.
Many people in the circle know this person's background and situation. Now that he has separated himself and stood up, his words carry some weight.
Yan Kai thought for a long time, then turned to look at Yan Lu. She was no longer looking at the apricot blossoms in her hand, but turned to look at him.
I've never seen her so focused before.
"Lulu," Yan Kai asked her, "do you really want to go?"
When he asked this question, he actually had the answer in his mind. She was actually interested in being a screenwriter, and even wrote her first script like this. Should I say she is worthy of being his daughter?
Yan Lu nodded, and then said: "I, I want to give it a try."
She blinked, then added, "You'll support me, right, Dad?"
She spoke word by word, and she seemed to be less stuttering. When Yan Kai heard this, it was as if he had been hit by something. Yan Lu didn't like to talk, and she hadn't called him "Dad" for a long time.
Although Yan Kai still had many concerns, he still took this step, even just for this title.
Another person who was surprised by the development of this matter was Zhu Lan. She was already very satisfied with the breakup with He Fan.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain!
He's father has always wanted to have a good communication with his daughter who he has owed. From his point of view, he absolutely looks down on people like Han Weirong. He has always wanted to use various methods to separate the two people, and he also hopes that He Fan will return home as soon as possible.
But unexpectedly, He Fan took the initiative to go back this time.
The talk between the two sides went quite well. Apart from the breakup, He Fan also suggested that her family give her some more time.
For the next movie, she will also take it seriously. If it still doesn't work, He Fan will naturally go home.
She was confident this time.
These were all small matters, and Mr. He, who was in a good mood, naturally had no objection. And the small request that He Fan made for Yan Lu was naturally just a small matter of a word.
He's father also asked her: "Didn't I hear that you were short of money some time ago? Do you want to get some money from home?"
It would be easy for the He family to give her a few million.
He Fan shook his head and said, "No need, I have already talked to Mr. Su from Guangying Entertainment."
Cooperation also has a first come first served basis, and Su Ning is very relieved.
Father He naturally did not force it. He seemed to be familiar with the name "Su Ning". After thinking for a while, he said, "The one that Shen Mingzheng is going to marry, right? Tsk, when I heard Shen Antang mention this, I thought he was crazy and found such an ordinary person for his only grandson. I didn't expect that she turned out to be extraordinary. Alas, he still has good vision."
He looked at He Fan again and said, "When will you find a potential stock like this..."
Perhaps people at this age will pay more or less attention to the marriage and love of their offspring, but after meeting He Fan's eyes, they retreated and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, no rush, no rush. Oh, I won't mention it."
But He's father's perception of Su Ning, to some extent, also represents the beginning of a change in the impression of the two of them in the top circles of fame and fortune.
There are so many different industries and countless wealthy families.
But the entertainment industry is the outermost layer of the world of fame and fortune, or it can be said to be a representative of it.
During this period, Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng have indeed met many people inside and outside the circle, and their social circles have obviously become more and more extensive.
After the filming of "Ji Xue" was completed, Glory shot a lot of endorsement commercials during the period of time in between joining the film crew. Glory also has many endorsements in various industries. The "Imperial Hospital Happy Event" produced in collaboration with Nanjiang TV Station started filming smoothly, and their cooperation with Orange Film and Television has gradually deepened.
——The new season of Idol Star Chart has already started recording, and the popular senior student Glory is the special guest.
The two of them have been getting along with Zhu Lan, the big Buddha from the Shen family, for some time. Although there were some unpleasant things, they just got along like this.
Zhu Lan also felt that the He Fan incident was an excellent result of their cooperation, so when "No Disease" officially started filming, she specially shook hands with Su Ning. Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, she also talked a lot to him.
There are three important characters in this movie: the female lead Ji Xue, and the male lead found by Shen Mingzheng, Zeng Xiuyuan, a new actor from Yan Kai Studio.
He auditioned for the role himself and was a contracted actor of Yan Kai Studio. He also played a role in "The Imperial Hospital's Happy Event" and appeared in several episodes. He was a drama actor and his acting skills were indeed good. At the age of 25, he looked like a pure and stupid college student and had a lively personality, so He Fan chose him.
There is also an important role of a doctor, who was found by the investor Zhu Lan. She didn't attract much traffic this time, and a steady middle-aged role can't attract much popular traffic.
The person she found was an actor from Hong Kong Island, who was considered a golden supporting actor and had won many awards. His acting skills were naturally impeccable. He was a familiar face in the entertainment industry, and Su Ning could not find any problems with him.
The other roles that had been played were also played by three veteran actors originally signed by Guangying Entertainment. The villains were chosen from people from Gaoshan Pictures. Su Ning had a good cooperation with them, and they could be considered to be sharing their strengths and weaknesses.
Moreover, Su Ning gets along well with every company or platform he has ever cooperated with. Even Xie Fangmin, who now has great resources, was willing to make a guest appearance for a few minutes after hearing about the film, becoming an outstanding actor in this film.
Therefore, when it was launched this time, it attracted a lot of attention.
But Su Ning was looking at the Hong Kong actors at the opening ceremony and asked Zhu Lan, who was standing beside him, a question: "Does this mean that the old man has reached an agreement with Hong Kong?"
Shen Mingzheng was aware of the old man's movements. Shen Antang was somewhat suspicious. Now that he was planning to reconcile with Hong Kong Island, there would inevitably be some intermittent cooperation.
Zhu Lan didn't hide it and nodded.
When it comes to matters concerning film and television resources, the Shen family would turn to her first. As expected, she is the old man's confidante. This actress who starred in He Fan's movie is probably the first front-line sentinel.
If it was before, she would not have said so much to Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning. Zhu Lan did not want to participate in the fight for the heir, even though she was the old man's adopted daughter and Shen Anlin's daughter-in-law, and even her two children who were currently studying abroad and in junior high school were strictly speaking one of the reserve heirs.
But she seemed to feel that Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng really had some prospects for making money, more profitable than what she had done before, so she didn't mind talking to them more at this time.
"There will be more cooperation between my family and Hong Kong Island in the future," she said. "Yuedong has lost a lot of money in recent dramas. The turnaround is too slow and the rate of return is really not good. Mr. Sheng is also eager to find other projects to do, so he contacted me."
Furthermore, the fact that Glory didn't win the New Artist Award was mentioned over and over again after their second album came out, and it almost became a meme.
The behind-the-scenes operations of capital have always existed, but it is very shameful to have them repeatedly criticized in public.
Zhu Lan looked at Su Ning and said, "If President Su has time, you can pay attention to this matter."
What she meant was that she wanted to persuade Su Ning and Yuedong to try to cooperate again. After all, this is still one of the largest platforms in the circle, and it has always had a good relationship with the Shen family.
The film and television cooperation plan with Hong Kong Island was proposed in accordance with the old man's idea. This time, they chose to cooperate with Yuedong. However, Yuedong only provided investment and some actors, while Hong Kong Island provided another part of the actors and a part of the team. The overall leadership was still the Shen family.
Many people on Shen Anlin's side wanted to fight for this dominant position, but Zhu Lan also reminded Shen Mingzheng at this time.
——The cooperation with Hong Kong Island is something that the family values, and it is also an opportunity to show off in front of the old man.
Moreover, unlike idol dramas like Yuedong that are designed to make money from traffic, Hong Kong films and TV series were once very popular more than a decade ago, and have produced many world-famous classic works and many experienced and famous actors, so the quality is online.
It’s just that it’s not as good as before. The entertainment industry changes so quickly that it’s inevitable that some of it is outdated, but it still has some influence.
Hong Kong Island has some specialties, such as criminal investigation dramas and police and gangster films.
The Shen family didn't like small things, so they got Yuedong involved right away, planning to make two police and gangster movies, especially the actors, all of whom were the top-notch ones that could be found on both sides.
Zhu Lan did not keep anything to herself and told Su Ning everything. Besides, she knew that even if she didn't say it, Shen Mingzheng would know it soon, so she might as well do him a favor.
She wanted to test Su Ning's attitude and see if he also intended to fight for it.
The configuration given is already so high and my family attaches so much importance to it, this project is extremely popular and it would be like pie in the sky for anyone who takes it.
Su Ning replied: "Ming Zheng and I will consider it."
He acted so calm that Zhu Lan seemed more anxious than him and asked again: "Is Mr. Su still worried about the unpleasant incident with Yuedong? Actually, that award..."
Su Ning shook his head and said, "The Audience Choice Award is a thing of the past. President Zhu, let's look forward to it."
He now has the confidence to say this.
There is not only the Audience Choice Award in this circle, Glory's album even won this year's "Golden Record" award, which was attended by many heavyweight singers.
Compared with the past, the Audience Choice Newcomer Award at that time was naturally nothing.
According to the group's current development momentum, if they cannot be awarded the Best Group Award this year, they will probably be criticized by everyone for being shady.
This is the real word-of-mouth reputation.
Su Ning had no control over how Mr. Shen arranged the internal affairs of the Shen family, or what everyone was thinking. The philosophy of the two of them was just like the company's theme proposed this year - rooted in work.
The example of Glory proves that in this circle, it is the work that speaks for itself in the end.
Moreover, before Zhu Lan said this, Shen Mingzheng had actually received the news. He also knew that Hong Kong Island still preferred Shen Anlin's heir reserve for the big cooperation, and did not consider him and Su Ning much.
After all, many of their works have not yet been released, and they are far less famous than the other. They both need to produce enough achievements before they can really gain a foothold.
Zhu Lan sighed and said, "You guys have to go meet the people from Hong Kong Island, right?"
The easing of relations between the Shen family and the Hong Kong branch is a big deal. Since the filming of "No Disease" started, it is obvious that many celebrities over there have started to come here.
Not long after, the Shen family held a large banquet, which was also held on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The full moon brings people together, symbolizing harmony and beauty.
This was Su Ning's first time to visit the Shen family in the capital. He said that the old man had specifically asked for him, so he and Shen Mingzheng went together.
But the protagonists of this banquet were people from Hong Kong Island, and the two of them just went there to join in the fun and get to know some people.
Shen Mingzheng originally didn't want Su Ning to worry too much about the Shen family's affairs, but Zhu Lan came to him directly and told him about it. Since Su Ning knew about it, he naturally didn't want to leave him alone.
And he had good reasons.
"How can I let you spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone?"
In the past six months, no matter what festival it was, the two of them had never been apart.
Although it was the Shen family's family dinner for moon-viewing, there were too many messy relatives and friends in the big family. Many people here were not directly involved in the affairs of the entertainment industry, and had few interactions with Su Ning. But when he stood next to Shen Mingzheng, many people knew him, called his name, and came over to shake his hand politely.
Some people are more important, and Shen Mingzheng will tell Su Ning in his ear who this person is, and Su Ning will remember it.
Nowadays, these people no longer dare to look down on these two.
The Shen family does have a lot of young people, including many young talents, but after the banquet started, most of them crowded in the middle because the old man was there, and they wanted to get close to the person in power in Hong Kong, someone named Shen Zhaolan, to discuss the so-called big cooperation projects, and they all wanted to get involved.
Zhu Lan also went to the front to say hello, but she looked left and right and didn't see Shen Mingzheng and the others. She didn't know where they had gone.
These two people are really unique in the Shen family.
Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning really didn't like this kind of flattering occasion. Zhu Lan searched for a long time before she found the two of them huddled together at the small dining table at the edge, talking about something.
No one comes here to eat, nor does anyone care about the true meaning of reunion and beauty during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
But these two seem to be.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner. Naturally, there are mooncakes on the table. They are very delicately placed on the plate. Shen Mingzheng cut a small piece and then naturally fed it to Su Ning. Then he looked at him and asked: "Is this delicious?"
"Well, it's OK. The filling is made of five nuts," Su Ning chewed, "It's a little cold."
The roasted nut filling was not as crispy when it cooled down, and it was a bit greasy. Su Ning had to drink several sips of water before he could swallow it.
Shen Mingzheng smiled: "Then let's find a chance to go first, and I'll take you to eat the freshly baked ones."
Su Ning: “Is it okay to leave midway?”
"It's okay," Shen Mingzheng said, "We've met everyone we need to meet, and we've done our duty. Besides, they may not notice us if we leave."
Su Ning thought about it and felt that it made sense.
This wasn't the first time he attended a dinner like this, so it wasn't surprising that he found an excuse to leave.
Zhu Lan: ...
Seeing this scene, she felt a little toothache.
