Chapter 71 Convenience Store
When the crew of "The Little Mermaid Becomes a Rich Family's Daughter" came on stage, some of the lazy clients sitting in the audience raised their eyes slightly and looked quite interested.
The reason is simple: the main creators of this crew are all so good looking.
It's normal for actors to be good-looking. Although the leading actors in the previous groups are also glamorous, it is rare to see them standing in a row on the stage, each with their own unique features.
The director, dressed in a highly designed shirt and draped trousers, with a high belt that accentuated his well-proportioned figure, appeared calm and elegant. He took the microphone and spoke eloquently after taking the stage. The story of this light comedy sweet pet web drama is quite interesting, and the makeup in the drama also seems to be good.
After hearing that the chief director Jiang Yiyu was the director of the promotional video of the Western Suburbs Resort that had just gone viral, the investors became even more serious.
With the performance and gimmicks of the promotional video, I believe this web drama will not be bad.
Except for Tang Ya, who had worked as a screenwriter for other crews and participated in investment promotion and had experience, the rest of the people present were here for the first time. Even Jiang Yiyu was participating in such a large-scale event that was competing directly with the online dramas of the same period for the first time.
To attract investment, they exaggerated their experiences extensively, aside from revealing their identity as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Of course, they also highlighted such important details in the Cheng company promotional video. The long-awaited PowerPoint presentation came in handy, and He Shu and Zhou Yu'an went all out in promoting it. Zhou Yu'an even nearly revealed her academic ranking.
After their group's promotional time was over and the microphone was returned to the staff, Jiang Yiyun couldn't wait to grab Tang Ya and ask, "How's it going? Is there any hope?"
"I think so." Tang Ya said affirmatively with the look of an experienced person.
Cheng's promotional video was released early and has now made a name for itself. A mere six-minute clip made Shuyi stand out. The director's skills should not be underestimated. As long as the investors below are not stupid, they will more or less consider their group.
"Oh right," Jiang Yiyun suddenly remembered that she had promised Shuyi to help her find actors. Now there were two ready-made actors. Jiang Yiyun sent the recruitment information of Yunyi Film and Television that Shuyi had given her a few days ago to He Shu and Zhou Yu'an. "If you want to go, you can try to submit your resume."
When He Shu and Zhou Yu'an saw that it was a recruitment information from Yunyi, their eyes lit up.
While this news was posted on Yunyi's official website, who has time to browse film and television company websites? Others likely learned about Yunyi through well-connected agents or large companies, and then passed it on to others. The current state of the news was that core members of the industry knew about Yunyi's resume submission, but the lesser-known figures on the periphery hadn't heard anything at all.
If Director Jiang hadn't told them, they would have had no idea about the news.
After thanking Jiang Yiyu, Zhou Yu'an left in a hurry.
He also had to rush back to school to participate in the club's filming. He had been so busy recently that he was working day and night. He had only heard about the new promotional video that Director Jiang had just mentioned, but had not had time to read the specific content. He even just found out that it was Director Jiang who was shooting it.
Zhou Yu'an left early because of something. Tang Ya met a few colleagues who also came to the investment promotion meeting and went to say hello. He Shu also immersed himself in the small circle of actors. Jiang Yiyu should have also gone to find fellow directors to take advantage of this rare opportunity to communicate and get to know each other, but she was a bit lazy to go, so she simply found a corner to sit in and look at the remaining PPTs and hide away.
However, she wanted to be alone, but her fellow directors would not let her go.
Director Jiang can be said to be a rising star in the director world. No one had ever heard of such a person before, but his first move was to take on a heavyweight project like Cheng's promotional video, and it was shot quite well. Most of them have seen that promotional video. Putting aside the storyline, the control of the camera and the skill of picture composition are enough to show that the director behind him has some talent.
Not only does she have excellent skills, but her background should also be extraordinary. Therefore, many people came to chat with Jiang Yiyu. Although her seat was off-center, she became the center of communication. As some directors gathered around her at the beginning, the rest of the people also came over to talk, and the atmosphere was extremely lively for a while.
After being surrounded by people while sitting in her seat, Jiang Yiyu couldn't escape even if she wanted to. The crowd didn't disperse until her polite smile was almost frozen and the investment promotion conference was about to close.
Jiang Yiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After listening to the long and boring platform speeches and representatives' speeches, Jiang Yiyu immediately stood up and tried to leave as soon as the investment promotion meeting ended. Before she could walk out of the center of the venue, she was stopped again, but this time it was a staff member of the organizer.
"Director Jiang," a staff member trotted over to stop her, "There's a dinner at 6 pm. The organizers invite you to attend."
Jiang Yiyu raised her eyebrows slightly.
Whenever money is involved, social gatherings are inevitable. After the first half of the investment promotion meeting is over, the next step is to have detailed discussions with the group that the investors are interested in. Business dinners are also inevitable in the second half, and as long as they are normal discussions about work, you still have to attend.
"Are there many people participating?" Jiang Yiyu asked cautiously.
"Yes, I also need to notify several other groups." After delivering the news, the staff member hurried to notify others.
There was still some time before the dinner at six o'clock, and no one knew where the remaining members of their group had gone. Jiang Yiyu looked around but couldn't find anyone, so she gave up the idea of finding them and decided to find a place to stay and wait until the time to go to the dinner.
The investment promotion conference rented the first-floor lobby of a hotel. It was crowded and smoky, and Jiang Yiyu slipped out of the hotel alone in the crowd.
There are various convenience stores and small restaurants not far from the hotel. Jiang Yiyu heard the familiar welcome sound and walked into a convenience store with a particularly eye-catching blue sign.
Jiang Yiyu took a box of salad toast sandwiches, a can of yogurt, and ordered a few skewers of meatballs, then sat down on the single seat by the window.
The steaming hot oden creates a hazy mist on the clean glass window.
In the cold winter when the sky has darkened, sitting in a shop that is still brightly lit, holding a hot oden meatball that is fragrant enough to completely boil away the cold, some distant memories that still shine brightly in my memory can't help but come to my mind.
Who made her like to go to this kind of store when she and someone just started dating? She could have ordered separately, but she had to cram more than a dozen meatballs into a soup bucket until it was full, and then the two of them got together to share it from one bowl.
Cheng Shuze ate quickly, always picking at the remaining meatballs in her hand after his own bamboo skewer was empty. If she refused to give him any, Cheng Shuze would drop the skewer and lower his head to bite directly. Whenever this happened, the classmates who passed by to buy food would pretend not to see it with a blank expression. Even Tang Ya didn't like to greet her.
This is not low-key at all, and is one of the reasons why their relationship was so famous in high school.
Golden memories of my school days.
If you tell others now that an elite like Mr. Cheng would actually go to a place like a 24-hour chain convenience store, no one would believe it. He would probably feel covered in dust even if he stepped into the door of the convenience store.
But it is true that they haven't been to convenience stores much since they graduated from high school. The main reason is that there are more places to go. Cheng Shuze is not reluctant to spend money. He would not book a French restaurant or a VIP hotel suite worth tens of thousands of yuan for a night on a date, but would bring his girlfriend to a place like a convenience store. It would be embarrassing for him to tell others about it.
After Cheng Shao started to have his baggage, the scene became bigger and bigger, and they never came again. Thinking back to the time when they used to huddle on the stools and share a bowl of meatballs, it seemed like a distant memory from a previous life.
Now sitting alone in the convenience store, Jiang Yiyu felt a little uncomfortable without the familiar warmth.
If she has the chance, she will definitely drag Cheng Shuze here again to reminisce about the past.
Jiang Yiyu picked up a bamboo stick with her left hand and took a bite of the fish roe lucky bag. Looking at the mist on the glass, she couldn't help but stretch out her right fingertips and write the name of the boy she liked on it, just like every girl in love would do.
After drawing the three letters "csz", Jiang Yiyu took out her mobile phone and took a photo.
After looking at the photo on the phone for a long time, Jiang Yiyu finally sent it to Cheng Shuze.
She didn't know what Cheng Shuze was busy with this afternoon. She had just sent him several messages but he still hadn't replied. Jiang Yiyu muttered to herself.
Business gatherings are usually focused on chatting, and few people can eat in that kind of atmosphere. By the time the gathering is over, it will definitely be very late and you will have missed dinner time.
Jiang Yiyu had no intention of treating herself badly just for such an investment promotion. She ate something to fill her stomach first, and then chatted with Mr. Cheng who was not online for a while. Seeing that it was almost six o'clock as the staff had said, Jiang Yiyu stood up and slowly went back to the hotel.
When I left just now, I didn’t ask where the dinner was. Fortunately, there was a staff member there. I asked the front desk and someone led me to the Jinxiu Tiandi private room in the hotel.
The staff pushed open the door of the private room, and Jiang Yiyu walked in. When she saw the people in the room, she paused with a subtle expression.
The private room was very large, and the seats for dozens of people were almost all occupied, with only a few empty seats left. People from the investors and the platform had arrived, and it seemed that she was the last one to arrive.
Although it was said to be six o'clock, according to general social etiquette, it is basic courtesy to arrive at least fifteen minutes early for occasions like this. What's more, some young actors basically came to wait after the investment promotion meeting ended. No one dared to let the client's people wait for them.
Only Jiang Yiyu had a good attitude and remained calm. She even went out for a walk and ate something before finally coming back on time.
Everyone had already sat down, and the moment she walked in, she stood out from the crowd, extremely conspicuous, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
However, the baptism of so many gazes was not the main reason why Jiang Yiyu frowned.
The main reason why her heart sank was that she stood at the door and took a quick look at the people present. Except for the investors and the platform's absolute party A, the rest of the actors, directors or producers were all girls without exception.
They are all young and beautiful girls.
