It was already early morning when Zhou Yiyang returned to the hotel.
Who knew that he would run into Jiang Xiaoliang who was still awake in the hall.
"What's wrong, Director Jiang?" When Zhou Yiyang walked to Jiang Xiaoliang, the man was still thinking about something with his head down, as if he didn't hear his footsteps.
"Ah, it's Mr. Zhou!" Jiang Xiaoliang was obviously startled. He stood up suddenly and said, "I just can't sleep."
"Why?" Zhou Yiyang sat down next to Jiang Xiaoliang. "Could it be that you think I can't carry those actors and are afraid that I'll lose money?"
"That's not true!" Jiang Xiaoliang quickly shook his head. "The four of them knew nothing at the beginning, but after almost two weeks of filming, they've made rapid progress, much better than I expected. But I'm worried that I won't be able to do it well."
"Then what are you worried about?" Zhou Yiyang couldn't understand Jiang Xiaoliang's concerns anymore. Could it be that young people with artistic talents are more sensitive?
"This was my first time filming their debut film, and I had no experience. I watched the footage we shot earlier today, and I felt like my shots had a lot of flaws."
"Who told you that?" Zhou Yiyang laughed. Jiang Xiaoliang must have heard such remarks to have his current thoughts.
"I saw it online," Jiang Xiaoliang confessed, pulling out his phone. "It's an anonymous forum. Someone leaked the cast list for Moonlight Girl, then revealed I was a newbie with no experience and still studying. The comments below were all cursing me, and you... They said you were stingy and just getting by."
Zhou Yiyang was stunned after hearing this, and simply took out his phone to read the comments.
This post was published yesterday and has received more than a thousand replies so far, making it a very popular post.
However, after the poster revealed the information, he disappeared completely, forcing Zhou Yiyang to doubt his motives.
The comments below are probably all from fans. However, these fans were clearly influenced by the original poster's remarks and are all condemning Jiang Xiaoliang and him - the unscrupulous capitalist.
2L: I've said it before, none of the capitalists have a conscience! Zhou Yiyang keeps saying he's dedicated to running the company, but what's the result? No events, no variety shows, and even a movie he made with a college student as director! We paid for our sisters to debut just for him to ruin them?
5L: I'm really sick of it! Can Yiyang Entertainment's management be any less shabby? They've sold so many endorsements, merchandise, and magazines, they must be making a ton of money, right? And yet they can't afford to hire a decent cast for the film. Their capitalist nature is exposed!
19L: This is killing me! There are still a lot of Zhou Yiyang's diehard fans in your area, saying they want to protect our best boss. Yang Bao, hold him up high! I think Zhou Yiyang is using all the money his sisters earn to promote himself? Zhou Yiyang, why don't you just debut right where you are?
66L: Are there still fans washing in this building? I didn’t expect there are capitalists’ shins, are they leeks becoming spirits? Love love!
Finally, Zhou Yiyang flipped all the way to the end, and as expected, some guys who were trying to take advantage of the situation appeared and began to encourage fans to cancel their pre-sales for "Bazaar".
Fortunately, the purpose of these black fans was too obvious and was quickly exposed by fans.
"Let me put it this way," Zhou Yiyang decided to comfort Jiang Xiaoliang first. "I hired you at first because you were cheap. But during the recent filming, I felt that you were very talented. Although you still have some shortcomings, you are still a newcomer after all. And many times, some of your wild ideas are things that those mature directors would never think of. Since I hired you, it means I trust you. You must not let me down."
Jiang Xiaoliang was just like that, somewhat self-deprecating. So when he heard Zhou Yiyang's encouragement, he was immediately deeply moved.
With that posture, Zhou Yiyang was worried that he would kowtow to him on the spot.
"I understand, Mr. Zhou. I will definitely take good pictures and will definitely not let you down! But are you going to delete this post?"
"No, just keep it. It's not some black material." Zhou Yiyang stroked his chin. "Aren't we still going to invite fans to visit the set? Once they come and see it in person, this post will be revealed."
Moreover, in a forum with high traffic like this, posts without substantiated evidence would basically disappear after a day. At most, Zhou Yiyang would be branded a vampire capitalist, but he wasn't afraid of that.
Jiang Xiaoliang was in charge of Zhou Yiyang's scenes, and for the next half month, he seemed to be energized and worked extremely hard on the filming.
Zhou Yiyang has completely become the de facto assistant director and can still take part in filming from time to time.
Thanks to the efforts of these two people, the filming progressed much faster than expected.
It was really hard for the four of them. They had to wake up every day to start filming and could not return to the dormitory until night.
"I feel like I can hardly tell whether I am Chen Jing or Lin Xuan'er now." Lin Xuan'er was so immersed in the role that she felt like crying whenever she heard the teachers playing folk music.
"I'm even more tired than during the competition." Wang Xingrui lay on the bed. If Zhou Yiyang hadn't asked a master to give them a massage every few days, she felt that she would faint from exhaustion.
"But we seem to have an event next week," Tang Yue put down her phone, her tone very excited: "Finally, I can go out for some fresh air."
"What activity?" Wang Xingrui asked immediately, "Did Brother Yang tell you secretly?"
"Ask little Su, it was Teacher Ye who told her that." Tang Yue patted Su Yin who was taking an afternoon nap. Her little face was white, tender and elastic.
"Hey, you guys are disturbing me even when I'm resting my eyes." Su Yin sprayed cold water on her face with a spray. "It seems to be the Golden Elephant Awards ceremony. My mom just told me that Brother Yang will notify us after he makes the call."
