Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 546 "Please help us... escape from the British Museum!"

"There's just a little more to it... Oh, it's done!"

In the room full of girlishness, Chen Yao put down the paintbrush in her hand, looked at a clay doll wearing an emerald green gradient chest-length skirt on the table in front of her, and cheered with satisfaction.

After wiping her hands, she took out her cell phone and planned to take a picture of the doll.

Over the years, after filming each drama, she would make a doll of the same style based on her character's image, such as Yue Qiluo, Xiao Dingmao, Huayue... She has collected seven or eight.

As for the one in front of me, it is naturally the "Small Jade Pot" twined branches that was photographed not long ago.

After editing the photos, she selected a few selfies and group photos of herself, and then wrote a few sentences to post on Weibo - she had just left Tangren, and her management team was disbanded, and it was currently in a state of no one managing it. In the past, these were all handled by dedicated operations, but now she has to do it herself.

[“Little Jade Pot” is freshly released! The trailer of “Escape from the British Museum” is online today, everyone should make an appointment now! ]

Although he is only an 18th-tier actor, he has been in the industry for many years and has played some popular roles, so Chen Yao has quite a few fans. As soon as the new Weibo was posted, there were various comments and replies within a few minutes.

She scrolled through the comments below while scrolling the screen. She smiled knowingly when she saw the fans' praise, but she mainly wanted to see if anyone had any questions.

[I took a look at this play, it seems to be a short play. Are Yaomei's resources so poor now? ]

[What can I do? Although I was not treated as a good person in the company before, at least I still had some resources. Now that I have left, I will have nothing. ]

[Ah? Didn't Haruka find a new company? That's impossible.]

[Everyone, look what I found! This skit "Escape from the British Museum" is produced by Arclight! ]

[Really... Shit! The screenwriter wrote the name "Meng Bai"! Is it Mr. Meng? ]

[Is there any need to ask? It must be true! I take back what I said before. It’s not that Haruka’s resources are bad, they are simply amazing! ]

[So, is Haruka going to sign a contract with Arclight? 】

【…】

There is a saying in the fan circle that fans of male stars are half girlfriend fans and half career fans, while fans of female stars are almost all career fans.

Many fans were disappointed to see their own artists had such poor resources that they had to shoot short dramas. But in a blink of an eye, they found that this short drama did not seem to be one of those crude and bloody dramas on the market. On the contrary, both the subject matter and the team were very strong.

Especially the name "Meng Bai" in the screenwriter column made fans excited on the spot.

Normally, this information should have been announced when the filming was first started, but Chen Yao didn't have a team at the time, so no one cared about it. This led to fans not knowing the situation until the show was released.

But this way, the fans were a little more surprised.

Looking at the discussions among fans, Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it did not cause any controversy.

But then again, what the fans said is not wrong. She is indeed considering which new company to sign with recently.

The last invitation she received was from Arclight, which she had just collaborated with. This is a real "giant" in the circle. Not to mention now, even Tangren in its heyday is far inferior.

However, it was precisely because of the huge scale of Arclight that she hesitated. As we all know, Arclight has many female artists, and most of them are well-known in the circle. As a newcomer, she might not be taken seriously. In addition to Arclight, there are several small companies that invited her, such as Zhongshi Tongcheng, where Luo Yunxi worked before. For such a small company, she would basically be the "number one sister" if she went there.

But then again, if you don’t have the resources, then it seems useless to just be called the “number one sister”.

After struggling for a long time, Chen Yao decided to wait until tomorrow to think about it. After checking the time, she clicked on the official blog of Arclight Films and saw the trailer of "Escape from the British Museum" that had just been released.

I have to say that the production efficiency of this short drama is really fast. She just finished filming last month, and it has only been two or three weeks since then, and it is ready to be broadcast.

Although Chen Yao was the lead actress, what she saw on the set was definitely different from the final film. With some expectations, she clicked on the trailer.

【Hello, could you please help us? 】

【who are you? 】

[We are from China, just like you. 】

[So, what do you want me to help you with? ]

[Please help us... escape from the British Museum! ]

As the conversation that brought together many voices came to an end, the picture suddenly changed from dark to bright - streets full of English style, the iconic Thames River and Big Ben, the magnificent British Museum... and one by one exquisite and ancient cultural relics.

The entire video does not have the crude and shoddy pictures of a skit, but instead has the composition of a cultural and tourism documentary and the transitions of a movie. Coupled with the pure music background music of "Grace", this trailer is full of majestic momentum.

Even Chen Yao, the leading actor who participated in the filming on site, was deeply attracted by this trailer, let alone the ordinary audiences.

[This picture! This quality! This topic! This idea! They are all really awesome! ]

[Damn, you told me this is a trailer for a short drama? Are you sure it’s not Arclight’s latest film project?]

[A great country, a century of grief. I thought this subject had been filmed almost completely, but I never expected that there would be such a novel perspective.]

[All the cultural relics here are real. The "Shi Zhen Grandma" should be the treasure of the Huaxia Pavilion, "Nu Shi Zhen Tu"; "Old Huo Brothers" are two sets of Huobi landscape albums; "Jingtai" is a large cloisonné dragon-patterned jar from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty; the old man in the golden wheelchair should be the golden hilt of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the sword body has disappeared in the long river of history...]

[The heroine's small jade pot should be the Chinese thin jade pot with winding branches pattern that was donated to the British Museum for exhibition a few years ago? However, this should not be considered a cultural relic. ]

[Yes, didn’t the heroine say in the trailer that she was just sent here for exhibition. It’s because she’s young that she has the energy and mind to run away.]

【…】

Obviously, there are still many viewers who have knowledge of cultural relics. Just by looking at the few character images that flash by in the trailer, they can tell which cultural relic it symbolizes.

Having said that, the fact that it can be recognized so easily is enough to show that the production team put a lot of thought into extracting the elements of the cultural relics.

Although it was just a trailer, the excellent production and high conception it showed instantly moved the audience. Countless netizens spontaneously began to forward and share it, and in just one day, the number of views exceeded two million.

At the same time, a large number of netizens left messages on the official Weibo of Arclight Films, hoping that the feature film can be broadcast as soon as possible.
