"I know, I know. Last time you finished your audition, our Director Tian praised you a lot." Since the other person came to greet him enthusiastically, Brother Zhang of course said something nice. Moreover, Director Tian did say that Yan Zi was a good seedling after the interview.
At this time, someone from the props side called him, and he said sorry and left.
After watching Brother Zhang walk away, Sister Chen nodded with satisfaction. Some young artists feel superior after signing the contract. They may be respectful to the director and photographer, but they are condescending when it comes to props and costumes.
But I don’t know how big this circle is. If you are popular, naturally no one can say anything to you. If you are no longer popular for some reason, there will be too many people stepping on you.
This is also why, when some artists with good reputations are exposed for their mistakes, many people will stand up to speak for them, while some artists with bad reputations will become the target of public criticism once something is exposed.
After waiting for a while, by nine o'clock, most people had arrived. Director Tian was famous for his dislike of lateness. There was once a second-lead actress who was constantly late because she was filming multiple scenes. Director Tian got so angry that he fired her and reshot everything with a new second-lead actress.
The opening ceremony was simple: a few media outlets, a gathering of the key cast and crew, a red ribbon-cutting ceremony, and that was it. Some directors in the south like to perform opening ceremonies with ceremonies of worship and offering sacrifices of animals, but Director Tian didn't seem to have those rites of passage. After a simple ribbon-cutting and answering some reporters' questions, he called it a day.
During the Q&A session, Yan Zi was a little-known figure. She didn't even have a seat on the stage. She just stood below with Feng Xiaoyun and Sister Chen, watching the reporters non-stop asking questions to the director, the leading actor, and the leading actress.
Especially since the male and female protagonists were recently exposed by many tabloids to have an ambiguous relationship, this made the reporters laugh like flies smelling something.
"How about it? Are you envious?" Sister Chen looked at the people on the stage and asked Yan Zi suddenly.
"I'm not envious. If possible, it's better not to let me go up in the future." Yan Zi spoke frankly. He had heard that these reporters had countless hidden tricks in their words.
Given her personality, I really think it will be difficult to deal with.
"Haha, you girl. What can I say about you? You want to be famous but also keep a low profile, right? That's not that easy. Take a closer look at these interviews. They're just repetitive. It's best not to say anything substantive."
It wasn't until the very end that a reporter asked, "Director Tian, there's news that your theme song this time is a very popular new song called 'Goodbye,' so is there any connection between this song and 'Goodbye Youth'? Do the lyrics hint at the fate of a character in the play?"
"Oh my, you guys are truly omnipresent, able to sniff out even this kind of information." Director Tian's response was flawless: "We chose this song as the theme song because we felt it was a perfect match for our drama. But as for the fate of the characters you mentioned, we'll have to wait until everyone has watched the drama before commenting on it."
"But speaking of this, I'll let you in on a little secret: the original singer of this song will also be playing a role in our drama, so if you're a fan of this song, you can look forward to it."
Director Tian could have avoided saying this, but firstly, Yan Zi's audition that day truly satisfied him. Secondly, and more importantly, this one sentence could boost his junior's popularity. It's a small favor, so why not? This is also the meaning of the entertainment industry, the entertainment industry itself.
As expected, the topic was brought up here, and several reporters asked some more questions about Yan Zi, and Director Tian also picked out some things to talk about.
This way, some of Yan Zi's fans will naturally pay attention to this drama, and some people who pay attention to this drama will naturally pay attention to the original singer of the theme song. It can be regarded as a mutual benefit for both parties, and of course, the one who benefits the most is our classmate Yan Zi.
The press conference will not be too long. After all, the popularity must be there, but the mystery must also be maintained. If everything is revealed and the novelty is lost, it will definitely affect the ratings.
So in just over half an hour, the reporters were all stuffed with red envelopes of varying sizes and sent out. The opening ceremony was over and the filming officially began.
