New Age Artists

Chapter 574 Be a friend with a clear conscience!

I've been resting in Gaolu recently.

Gao Lu is Wen Qiang in "The Princess Weiyoung", Lin Xiaoniang in "The Story of Minglan" in later generations, the ruthless Lin Qinshuang, and Gan Hong in "I Am Yu Huanshui".

In the previous life, "The Princess Weiyoung" was popular for a while, but there was no sequel.

Those who choose to be actors have good looks, but after the influx of hot money, they don’t have many good resources.

There are also people in the entertainment industry who treat being an actor as a job, or who consider themselves as artists rather than just hanging around in the circle.

Gao Lu is, and so is Yan Danchen.

If she really had some scheming or some unspoken rules, she would definitely not lack opportunities, after all, she is really good-looking.

In the past, Shen Santong was influenced by bad trends.

This posed a challenge to his personal morality.

In order to calm down, he chose to make good friends, spend time with good girls, and to make himself more interesting.

Compared with other creatures in the world of Vanity Fair, girls like Yan Danchen and Gao Lu are the ones Shen Santong needs more.

Who made him have the same disease as me?
The child was also a bit unexpected, but fortunately he is not very famous and has good acting skills, so he is much easier to deal with than Tang Yan.

Shen Santong was surrounded by a group of people who tried to please him.

Sometimes, all kinds of tricks are hard to guard against.

When filming, Shen Santong was determined not to mess around on the set, but visiting the set was not one of them.

It’s normal communication and it’s not easy to refuse.

Come with your good friends and get milk tea, coffee and various snacks for free.

Come in the afternoon, chat, then it gets dark, it’s night, can’t let anyone stay?
These matters are the responsibility of the life assistant team. As Shen Santong has more and more resources at his disposal, the challenges he faces become more and more severe.

Facts have proved that Shen Santong's strategy is correct.

After living in a room with orchids for a long time, I no longer smell the fragrance. After communicating with good friends, I have made great progress in my personal life.

While eating the sweet strawberries washed by Gao Lu, Shen Santong happily posted on Weibo.

Hong Peibo was made fun of like a monkey and was watched by passers-by as a monkey.

It was so embarrassing that I left in embarrassment.

A video was uploaded to the Internet and immediately sparked heated discussion.

Weibo did not suppress the popularity, and #王府井打酱油# immediately became a hot search.

At that time, this person went to present his credentials on a bicycle.

Now I am also very happy just to play soy sauce.

Xiaomi is really good at showmanship.

The best actors in the world are these voting clowns.

Shen Santong joined in the fun and posted: A comparison picture of fireworks.

The first picture shows Tunisia in a mess, with many shops looted and burned down, and the air filled with smoke and gossip.

The other photo shows normal shopping in Wangfujing, which is also full of the atmosphere of life.

After sending the message, Shen Santong went out to keep an appointment.

Change into casual clothes and wear a mask.

Li Hong’s appointment.

Shen Santong's private life is also a mess.

To be honest, judging from his past life, he is indeed a bit of a scumbag now.

But as people as we are, my thirty-year-old self cannot understand my twenty-year-old self. Even my eighteen-year-old self cannot understand my sixteen or fifteen-year-old self.

It’s not that Li Hong can’t be taken down, it’s just that she’s a scumbag anyway.

But, some things are not just personal matters.

As a simple friend, Shen Santong admires Li Hong.

She possessed a spirit that was unique to women at the University of Tokyo, which also attracted him.

In my previous life, I worked on a construction site and my favorite show was Cross-Strait TV, just to see her.

In later generations, she truly achieved immortality in time and lasting elegance.

So what attracted Shen Santong was not her beauty and temperament, but her inner self.

He was able to work his way up to CCTV from a rural area in Northeast China through his own efforts.

This opportunity to change one's own destiny is still very common in the mainland, a land full of hope and vitality.

What does BYD’s Wang Chuanfu have?
The poverty is not just a clang, it is real poverty.

But he still created an unparalleled career.

This kind of success is extreme and rare.

However, through hard work, people could build a small Western-style house and buy a car. Such changes in destiny were almost common, and traffic jams even occurred in rural areas in later generations.

When people in some areas see someone succeed, women first think of his lower third party skills, while men first think of his background.

This shows that there is no life in the land where they live.

It is not easy to see examples of people who have changed themselves and their families and lived a more comfortable life because of labor, normal study, or mastering a skill.

Those who have achieved success rely on connections and pathways, so they cannot understand these things.

It's really pitiful and sad.

Li Hong is treating us today and we found a very good restaurant.

It’s nothing for Shen Santong, but it must be a bit painful for her.

Shen Santong entered the private room, took a look and smiled: "I say, Sister Hong, you are too polite, and aren't you cold?"

Li Hong was wearing a yellow skirt and a windbreaker was placed on the chair next to her.

It's freezing and snowy now, and we're only in the private room. If we move to other places, we'll definitely freeze to death.

Li Hong said generously: "I am dressed up to attend the event. I will spend a lot of money to treat you to a meal today."

Shen Santong sat down and saw that she was about to open the wine, so he stopped her and said, "Why should we be polite? We have known each other for many years."

Li Hong insisted on opening a bottle, and said with a wink: "There's nothing wrong between us, we should still be polite."

A bit ambiguous.

Shen Santong was quite speechless. He was not a serious person. Was it fun to tease him?

You are sure you can't turn into a werewolf, right?

If I really close my eyes, I can become a wolf!

The wine was still opened, and Li Hong said seriously: "I really want to thank you this time for giving my brother such a great opportunity."

"Okay, I got it. Where's Li Wei? Why didn't he come?" Shen Santong was curious that the real boss didn't come.

The theme this time is that Shen Santong asked Li Wei to be the deputy director of the new play. He used to be a photographer and graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, a senior vocational school.

In her previous life, Shen Santong followed Xu Jinglei. She remembered hearing someone say that Xu Jinglei forced her to drink for her brother's job, but she didn't know whether it was true or not.

In this life, I joined Santong Entertainment and followed Shen Santong, taking charge step by step. Now I have started to do some management work. My future is pretty good.

The entertainment industry, or society in general, is made up of personal connections.

This is true both at home and abroad.

Shen Santong also wants to employ talented people, but he usually looks for people he is familiar with.

How do you know if someone has talent if you don’t know him or her?
In most cases, people's abilities are still at a certain level.

Whether you can succeed or not depends on the person in charge.

It is commonly known as following the right person.

If Fan Kuai had not fought with Liu Bang to conquer the world, he would have been nothing.

This phenomenon is even more serious in the entertainment industry.

Santong Entertainment has elevated project management to the stage of ordinary engineering projects, which is similar to working on a construction site.

Looking at the circle, Shen Santong dares to say that he is definitely far ahead.

The lead is not just a little bit, but an era, or even more.

It’s no wonder that the entertainment industry has a bad atmosphere. Whether you are popular or not may just be an opportunity.

The income brought by this is a difference of millions or tens of millions.

If it is in the future, the number will be even more exaggerated.

So in this circle, there are many people like Tang Wei, whether in the past or in the future.

On the contrary, there are very few people who can keep their hearts and treat work as work.

Male artists are even more miserable, they have no choice, they don’t look young, and they don’t even have the chance to take advantage of the unspoken rules.

You can only get the opportunity when the resources in the entertainment industry expand further.

This also has its advantages. Although it does not glorify suffering, it can help you endure loneliness and have the strength to seize the real opportunity when it comes.

For example, Tang Wei’s ex-boyfriend Tian Yu, the teacher in "Charlotte's Troubles", and Wang Qinian in "Joy of Life" are all worthy of a place.

Shen Santong's rise was too fast.

In this entertainment industry where many people become famous overnight, Shen Santong can be considered to have risen rapidly.

One movie after another, he relied on his great strength to rise from the very beginning to the top, and then to the pinnacle.

Maintained for several years, very rare.

There are even fewer people like Shen Santong who have normal aesthetic taste and normal private life.

It was voluntary, they were all women, and there was nothing strange about it.

In this circle, some people are really not simple. Whether it's business or film and television resources, they will hardly give them unless you lick them.

Some of them are purely a violation of human dignity.

There are also some abnormal ways of playing.

Santong Entertainment has a good reputation in the industry because of Shen Santong's upright character.

Li Hong said embarrassedly: "Li Wei has a cold, so it's inconvenient for him to come."

Shen Santong asked: "Is it the flu? Is it serious?"

"No, it's not serious." Li Hong felt even more embarrassed.

Her younger brother wants a brother-in-law.

If Li Wei hadn't had the opportunity to take this small step from camera operator to assistant director, he would probably have had to wait for many years.

But it's not easy for her as an elder sister. Shen Santong's situation is equivalent to giving up her own ideals.

Changing the subject: "I saw you just posted a Weibo post. Your post is too controversial. The comparison between China and foreign countries, plus this incident, may lead to regulation."

When it comes to cross-strait programs, Li Hong is still very sensitive.

"Wow, this is really a mess." Shen Santong took out his mobile phone and checked it. It was less than two hours.

Blow up a group cesspool again.

Shen Santong complained: "Can these people find another excuse to destroy the relationship between Dongda and Xiao Mi? They have no spirit of freedom and lack humanitarianism. When did they talk about this?"

I never thought that anthropomorphic creatures are full of flaws and cannot tolerate others' complaints. Among them are some people of status.

Li Hong came over to take a look and said with a smile, "These people are like this."

"Is it necessary to complain about it?" Shen Santong suddenly thought of future generations.

There is a comparison photo of Asan lighting the fire and Dongda lighting the fire.

Indians burn people, and Todai fires rockets.

At that time, we were in a quasi-war state with India and the relationship was very bad.

Then, there was a cry of fighting and killing on the Internet, and all kinds of people jumped out, more anxious than Ah San, and deleted their posts after being scolded.

You are so considerate of others!
Li Hong has had a similar experience: "We are some people who are particularly considerate of 'them' and never consider 'us'."

When hosting the cross-strait show, we have optimized everything from topic selection to materials to beautify the other side as much as possible.

I have encountered many bad things.

"This has happened not just once, but many times." Shen Santong said.

"Oh?" Li Hong was curious: "Can you tell me more?"

"Pure Minds Chasing the Dream of Show Business" was also called for a ban." Shen Santong talked about "Pure Minds"

Shen Santong personally set the tone for this play and did not allow for any changes to be made.

Suffering is supposed to be painful. If you eliminate it and transform it into a consumption behavior, it will itself dilute the pain.

Suicide is tragic in itself, and then it is deconstructed, and even death becomes a commodity.

It is not only used to make money, but more importantly it will also encourage the cannibalistic monopoly capital.

The film shows the progressiveness of monopoly capital, which is equivalent to a patchwork monster that accommodates those who cannot bear the darkness and commit suicide.

For example, when some anti-financial capital academics are useless, the publishing houses controlled by financial capital will help publish them and further expand their own power.

"You are right. It is definitely not okay to consume it. People will die in vain."

Li Hong agreed very much. Shen Santong was considered a relatively idealistic person. "Is the situation in Korea really that serious?"

"Yeah." Shen Santong said briefly.

Li Hong's mood immediately became heavy: "You should continue to talk about the movie. What happened later?"

Shen Sandong said: "I want "Pure Mind" to be as literary and artistic as possible, and to completely tear apart the darkness."

At this point, he couldn't help but laugh: "Have you seen the finished product? It's great, isn't it? Our country's education in this area has always been of this tone, and we are very good at this, but in the past the main body was the University of Tokyo, but this time it was replaced by the Koreans."

“But once the subject shifts, no one talks about the ‘artistic quality of the film’ or ‘dare to speak’ or anything like that anymore.”

"Some people suddenly have a broader perspective and have come out to say that this is not good and will affect relations with the Koreans. There are still some experts in the film and media field among them. They are really considerate of others!"

Li Hong burst out laughing when she heard "Smecta": "Is it okay for you to insult your colleagues like this?"

"That's just their nature." Shen Santong said disdainfully, "I think changing the subject will give them justice and truly expose the darkness. That's the power that a movie should have, and that's what a dare to shoot!"

"It's true that we have problems, but other countries have bigger problems. Deconstruction should be given to countries that need it more!"

Li Hong thinks this is debatable: "After all, we are from Dongda University, not Koreans. Some people and some media do have bad points, but at least they focus on our problems. You said that the outside world is darker than ours, which is true, but it is also suspected of diverting attention."

"Wouldn't that create an atmosphere that everything we have is fine and therefore doesn't need to change? I think you are a bit of a protectionist for vested interest groups."

Shen Santong felt a little hurt by these words. Now he is also considered as one of the capitals and a member of an interest group.

In a sense, letting Hollywood in is indeed an inevitable trend.

It is impossible for the authorities to allow him to dominate alone.

Who can guarantee that he won't change?
Shen Santong felt that he would not change, and he thought so: "But there is one fact that you cannot deny! The real industries are more and more competitive than each other. In terms of culture and public opinion, they are all rubbish."

"Everyone wants to be a good person, and they all say friendship scriptures, and each one is more respectable than the other. It would be fine if they were the same both internally and externally, but they are not."

"The result is that we are attacked everywhere in public opinion and no effective interaction can be achieved."

Now it was Li Hong's turn to sweat profusely: "Let's talk about 'Pure Mind'. It was only released online, not in theaters. Did it fail to pass the review?"

Blushed.

Because what Shen Santong said was true.

Shen Santong continued, "This is another story. Everything was done in late June last year. It's not a big scale, and there's nothing erotic about it. It's a pure art film that just shows the darkness of the Korean entertainment industry. It's also the first film that Jiahe has re-produced. It's not a big problem to go through the Hong Kong film channel."

"But as soon as the finished film was submitted for review, SM, which has business cooperation with my company, started public relations."

Li Hong couldn't help but be attracted. This was an inside story: "Is the PR successful?"

"Of course not. SM is nothing with that size. They'll just crush us!"

Shen Santong said domineeringly: "I can't even reach that level. I can only go to Jiahe Artist Department. I can't even enter the door of Santong Entertainment. I only found out later that they had public relations and dealt with several people."

"Then some Koreans tried to communicate with Santong Entertainment through various means. They used coercion and inducement, offering advertising and other benefits, asking them not to release the film, let alone release it in Asia."

Santong Entertainment has now developed to the point where it has the ability to distribute in Asia.

Li Hong was even more curious: "Since the PR was unsuccessful, why didn't it go on theatrical release?"

"Foreign Affairs Channel." Shen Santong talked about the deeper operation: "All kinds of attempts have failed. There is really no other way. The Korean side has to use foreign affairs forces.

"At this point, it's not just a simple business act. We have to pay some foreign affairs chips and clean up the mess."

Li Hong was surprised: "You went through the foreign affairs channel?"

"They have no choice. What else can they do?" Shen Santong said: "After much communication, Santong Entertainment has taken a step back. 'Pure Mind' will not be released in theaters, but will only be broadcast on online platforms, and there will be no investment in publicity and promotion."

"It's mainly to give Li Kaka some face. Even though he looks ugly and a bit rat-like, he is actually quite capable."

"You are such a mean person." Li Hong thought about it and realized that with this face, she couldn't help laughing.

Shen Santong: "Korean Wave is great, the marketing is so good, even if it is only broadcast on the Internet platform, without any publicity and promotion, it still caused a great shock. Dongda people imagined that South Korea is a developed country, and never thought it would be like this."

"It's not just some groups, even the fans of the girl group of the Korean women's group have lost their defense. They are crazy about organizing this movie, which is also linked to interfering in the internal affairs of other countries."

"I was stunned at the time. How fragile is Korea if a movie has this effect?"

Li Hong asked: "What about now?"

Shen Santong said: "The Koreans asked us to quit, so we replied: Don't cover up the incident, just deal with your own domestic affairs."

The more Li Hong listened, the more familiar it became: "Sounds so familiar?"

"This is the rhetoric of some anthropomorphic creatures. As long as it is used in the right place, it is still useful. Including the film theories of the fifth and sixth generations, as long as the subject is changed, it is actually very suitable. Deconstruction is just a technique. The enemy can use it, and we can use it too."

Speaking of this, Shen Santong couldn't help but sigh: "Interactions like "Pure Mind" are the level that a normal culture and public opinion of a big country should have."

"Culture and public opinion are at the forefront, while foreign affairs are more rational and in the rear. We have hurt the other side and there is really no other way but to communicate through foreign affairs channels. We have more cards out of thin air."

"Xiaomi has done a great job in this regard. Media like CNN and BBC have cooperated well and are very good at fabricating things and stirring up trouble."

"Their reporters are very proactive and aggressive toward the outside world."

"They fabricate, smear, and create all kinds of fake news about us. When we negotiate with their official media, they will pretend to be free of the press."

"There is no other way but to negotiate with Xiao Mi through the foreign affairs channel. Even if Xiao Mi doesn't gain any more bargaining chips out of thin air, it's a waste of foreign affairs resources."

"We haven't done a good job in public opinion. This is work that needs to be done by the Foreign Affairs Department."

Similar to the later Indian ignition diagram.

In fact, it is very murderous and heartbreaking.

Of course, I felt sympathy for the death of ordinary people, but at that time the situation was quite hostile.

Besides, if ordinary Indians had the opportunity to rob Dongda, would they be lenient?
Like the photo of ignition, it is very penetrating.

This is definitely a heavy blow to the Indians who advocate spiritual victory.

After a burst of impotent rage, Ah San will first fight back through private channels, demanding that the user, company, or platform that posted the content delete it.

If this cannot be done, the only option is to negotiate through foreign affairs. This may not give us an extra card out of thin air, but at least we have the initiative.

If relations needed to be eased at the time, it could have been withdrawn.

If the relationship is tense, there are many reasons. Sorry, we respect freedom of speech, so it ends there.

The picture of the sheep-holding child in Wuheqilin being cut in the throat by an Australian soldier with a dagger directly broke the defense of Morrison of the Kangaroo Country.

This is the power that public opinion, culture and art should have.

"Your strategy is theoretical." Li Hong was enlightened: "It won't work now."

Shen Santong admitted: "Yes, in terms of public opinion, many of us believe in the idea of ​​no borders. When the narrative is weak, being neutral actually means standing on the other side."

Li Hong joked, "Then you are very cruel. You are taking advantage of a girl's suicide, right?"

"So what?" Shen Santong didn't care at all: "I want to do something to expose the darkness of the Korean entertainment industry."

"Maybe many people think that why should I interfere in the Korean entertainment industry? That's how their culture is. They are willing to degenerate and maybe even enjoy it. If I interfere, it would be disrespectful to their cultural traditions and very tasteless."

“But I have my own standards.”

"But when this matter can be exchanged for bargaining chips related to national interests, I am certainly willing to make this exchange."

“The cultural industry must first be national before it can be global.”

"The experience of the Korean actress deserves sympathy, but it cannot cover up the fact that Koreans are currently little dogs."

"Love has no borders, art has no borders, etc. I am not a saint, and I never believe that there are really no borders."

Li Hong felt the cold side of Shen Santong.

This is normal. Almost everyone who can make a successful career has a ruthless side.

Li Hong is one of the few friends that Shen Santong can talk to.

She can understand many points because of her work.

I don't think it's a conspiracy theory or anything.

Moreover, Li Hong is the kind of person who has a hard core but is also gentle inside.

Shen Santong heard her talk about the past. When she was working in Northeast China, a close friend committed suicide due to financial difficulties. This affected her and made her leave her hometown.

This kind of person has ideals, and those who fabricate dirty rumors and slander her do so because of her job.

It is not ruled out that there are various situations within CCTV, but it is definitely impossible for them to exist universally.

If nothing else, the outside forces watching these scandals are not fools.

If there really was such a way to undermine authority, it would have been used long ago.

WikiLeaks and the like don't give face to the University of Tokyo.

If there is any real scandal, I will definitely not let it go.

In the end, we can only use the rumors of the lower third way to show that there is really nothing.

The people who slandered her have similarities with those who continue to smear Shen Santong, and some of their channels are even exactly the same.

Similarly, if you want to work in this kind of position for a long time, you must be reliable in all aspects.

There is no possibility for Shen Santong and her.

If anything happens, she will be transferred.

Of course, the relationship between men and women is not just about "spring is coming and everything comes back to life", it's also good to be friends.

Even if she didn't see that day come before retirement, Li Hong would be remembered for this and it would become a beautiful regret flowing in people's memories.

And that day will most likely come, and when that day comes, her career will be given a meaning that other people in her profession do not have.

It's good enough to be a clean and like-minded friend.
