Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 234 Yang Mi: Sister is the climax! Shi Shi, your shortcomings are exposed
"Lost in Thailand?" The hostess showed just the right amount of surprise on her face. "Is it the Lost in Thailand starring Xu Shanzheng, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo?"

The female host graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and is a person in the media industry. She must be familiar with her senior’s upcoming work.

"Yes, it's the one that will be released the day after tomorrow." Zhang Yang advertised again and smiled: "The role I play is as important as Pang Bing's."

“Fat Bing?” The male host instantly became interested: “Is there Bingbing in Lost in Thailand?”

Zhang Yang showed just the right amount of panic on his face, and immediately declined: "Sister Shishi and I have been standing here for a long time. If we don't leave, it will affect the actors who will come up later. Today's interview ends here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yang immediately bent down and lifted up Liu Shishi's skirt, urging her, "Let's go quickly."

Liu Shishi cooperated and left quickly. The two of them left quickly despite the host's continued attempts to keep them.

Seeing this, the audience immediately started talking.

"Did Zhang Yang reveal something?"

"Fat Bing also starred in Lost in Thailand, and it seems like his role is quite important. I must go and see this movie."

"Call me then, I'm free recently."

"Old Huang, didn't you say a few days ago that you don't even watch comedy shows?"

"I'm not watching a comedy, I'm watching Bingbing, who is different from you, a fool."

"You are such a piece of shit!"

"."

Many people post the footage they shoot on the Internet.

There are also ready-made media reporters who will report the news back as soon as possible.

In their opinion, Zhang Yang had nothing worth reporting, but Liu Shishi, Pang Bing and "Lost in Thailand" did.

The two months before the New Year, that is, November and December, is called the Lunar New Year period, and the movies released during this period are called Lunar New Year movies.

There are currently three Chinese New Year films worth mentioning in China, namely "Cold War", "1942" and "The Banquet".

Among them, "Cold War" is known as the best Hong Kong film in the past decade after "Infernal Affairs", and it is both critically and commercially successful.

Needless to say, "1942" was also a critical and commercial success.

In both films, Liu Shishi gave wonderful performances.

According to Liu Shishi herself, she got the roles in these two dramas thanks to Zhang Yang.

As for The King’s Feast, it had a lot of fanfare in the casting, but continued with Rikutaro’s usual performance, which made people look forward to it but only deceived the box office, and there was nothing good to see.

But what everyone is most concerned about is "Lost in Thailand". On the one hand, it is because the foundation of "Lost in Journey" was good and everyone is looking forward to this movie. On the other hand, it is because of the movie "Life of Pi".

A foreign film whose box office is higher than that of "Cold War" and "1942", and is even only slightly lower than the sum of the two films.

Ordinary audiences didn't feel anything, but people in the industry felt very unhappy. Some people felt ashamed and hoped that a domestic film could defeat it head-on and save their reputation.

With you, "Lost in Thailand" and "Chinese Zodiac" which was released a week later were highly anticipated.

Zhang Yang is now taking advantage of the popularity.

News is time-sensitive. Soon, news titles such as "Zhang Yang reveals that he and Pang Bing co-starred in Lost in Thailand" and "Zhang Yang's slip of the tongue reveals the secrets of Lost in Thailand" appeared on the Internet, accompanied by clips of Zhang Yang's interview. Over time, many people saw, forwarded, liked and discussed them.

However, all this has nothing to do with the Huading Awards red carpet scene. After Zhang Yang and Liu Shishi left, subsequent first-line actors or bigwigs in the circle began to appear one after another.

For example, Lao Hu appeared on stage with Tang Yan, and both of them were interviewed.

"Lao Hu, many people are curious about why you didn't walk the red carpet with Shi Shi." The male host dug a hole.

"Who are these people? Ask them to come and ask me in person." Hu Ge was not fooled.

But the crowd watching the scene screamed and booed.

"Look, this is the voice of the masses," said the male host.

"You are asking even though you already know the answer." Hu Ge spread his hands and said, "I am Shi Shi's brother. Of course Ning Ke is going with Yuwen Tuo."

This answer was very clever and there was nothing wrong with it, but the people continued to make a fuss.

"Tangtang, many people say that the character you played, Taba Yuer, also likes Yuwen Tuo. What do you think?" asked the female host.

"I don't like Ayang. I'm different from Shi Shinaza." Tang Yan answered a little out of shape.

Alarm bells rang in Hu Ge's mind, and he immediately made up for it: "She was talking about Ning Ke and Xiao Xue."

"Of course I'm talking about Ning Ke and Xiao Xue." Tang Yan also realized what she said and chuckled, "Old Hu, why are you explaining? Could it be the real person?"

"Who knows." The female host deliberately created pink bubbles.

The CP fans at the scene shouted with great joy.

Hu Ge and Tang Yan left the stage, and many people came on stage later.

People like Jia Naian, Li Xiaolu, Li Cheng, Wen Zhang and Ma Yili would actively or passively CUE Zhang Yang, and the two hosts would habitually ask Zhang Yang later.

Yang Mi, the main guest of this Huading Awards, uploaded it at a relatively later position.

A man wearing a black suit gives people the feeling of a cool and elegant young man.

She accepted the interview with grace and said with a smile at the end: "Ayang should thank me for getting that nickname."

"When Zhuo Ge and I were promoting The Secret Code of Da Wu, he was the first person I thanked."

"."

Talking about Zhang Yang's strange phenomenon, it reached its climax when it came to Yang Mi, but also came to an end.

This inexplicable but traceable situation was also exposed and discussed online.

During this time, Zhang Yang was shuttling around the party scene, constantly chatting with various bigwigs.

In fact, he didn't want to be a conspicuous person, but considering that he was running a company and the more friends the better, he didn't act pretentiously.

As a student of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, people from the Shanghai circle are naturally close to him in this city.

The bigwigs in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles were very nice to each other for the sake of Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yu.

Seeing this, some people in the Beijing circle felt it was not appropriate to be different and had to give face.

"That's Director Jiang Wen's younger brother Jiang Wu."

"That's Director Gao Xi and Nie Yuan."

"That's Director Zhao Baogang."

"."

Zhao Liying and other girls who were sitting in the back near the audience seats were keeping an eye on their boss's movements.

Watching him chatting and laughing with a group of well-known bigwigs, I couldn't help but sigh that he knows so many people.

With such connections, you will definitely be able to do well in the circle.

"Why did Brother Yang leave?" Li Yitong asked puzzledly.

"That direction should be to the toilet." Zhao Liying took a look and replied: "People have three urgent needs."

At the public toilet, Zhang Yang did come here, but not to go to the toilet.

He came here to check out the opportunity, and the reason was naturally the Handbook of Opportunities.

At parties and award ceremonies like this, where top stars and bigwigs in the industry gather in large numbers, there will definitely be opportunities, and he doesn't mind taking some of them.

"Why are all the opportunities in the toilet? Are celebrities incompatible with this place?" Zhang Yang wondered.

Then he saw a middle-aged man who was washing his hands in front of a sink reached out to grab his glasses on the sink and accidentally dropped them to the ground.

"Snapped!"

Hearing this sound, the middle-aged man had a bad feeling and reached out his hand to touch the sink.

"Shit~" the middle-aged man cursed in his heart.

He is very nearsighted and can't see clearly without glasses. He was dressed more formally today and didn't bring spare glasses with him, so it seemed that he could only squat down and feel the ground.

He turned around by feeling the sink, and just as he lifted one foot, he heard someone shout, “Don’t step on it, your glasses are right where you’re going to fall.

Fortunately, he held onto the sink, used the force to stop the inertia, and lifted his feet in the air.

Zhang Yang walked a few steps to the middle-aged man and bent down to pick up his glasses.

"Here!" Zhang Yang put the glasses in the middle-aged man's hand.

"Thank you, that's a great help." The middle-aged man immediately expressed his gratitude.

He habitually wiped the lenses with the corner of his clothes, then lowered his head and put them on.

His vision cleared up again and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he saw Zhang Yang standing opposite him.

"You are an actor, right? I seem to have some impression of you." The middle-aged man showed an elegant smile: "Hello, my name is Gao Xueyi, thank you again for helping me."

Gao Xueyi!!!
A gleam of light flashed in the depths of Zhang Yang's eyes.

He said that this person looked familiar to him.

Most people rarely pay attention to those behind the scenes workers in the entertainment industry, and their understanding of entertainment companies is basically limited to their works and who their bosses are.

But for people in the industry, they will definitely remember the producers, screenwriters, most of the entertainment company executives, etc., to avoid missing opportunities due to unfamiliarity, or offending people they cannot afford to offend.

Gao Xueyi is only one year older than Hu Ge, but he is definitely a well-known figure in the entertainment industry.

He joined Magic King Media in 10 and founded the Script Center, serving as director and general manager. He used his connections and abilities to establish cooperative relationships with many copyright agencies, including Sony Picture, KBS of South Korea, and Shanda Literature.

He led a team to purchase more than 40 well-known novels, including "Once Promised", the Gu Man trilogy "The Great Ruler", "Strategies of a Noble Concubine", and more than 3000 hours of overseas drama adaptation rights. He was the largest buyer of Chinese script copyrights in the early days and one of Zhang Yang's biggest rivals in buying copyrights in the past two years.

The first TV series he planned was "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family", followed by the hit TV series "Come on, Mr. Love" and "Fall in Love with You", and he also created the first co-production between China and Hollywood's "six major mainstream studios".

"It turns out that I helped an opponent."

"If it weren't for you, I could have bought more and better copyrights."

"It's a pity that I awakened my memory in 11 and I didn't have much money at that time, otherwise..."

Many thoughts flashed through Zhang Yang's mind, but he felt more admiration for Gao Xueyi.

He has a forward-looking vision because of his rebirth, and it can be said that he is doing things on the shoulders of giants.

Gao Xueyi is that giant, and he still has to cross the river by feeling the stones and get things done.

China has entered the era of big Internet IP, and this unprepossessing man has made great contributions to this.

"Hello, Mr. Gao." Zhang Yang smiled slightly: "My name is Zhang Yang, and I can be considered an actor."

Zhang Yang?

Gao Xueyi's eyes flashed.

He had heard of this young man from people around him more than once.

It is said that this young man may have a mysterious background and is close friends with many bigwigs.

In addition, as the director and general manager of the Croton Script Center, he is still in charge of the acquisition of various IP copyrights.

Since the company already has a lot of copyrights and IPs, and is discussing with Huace about completing the acquisition of shares through a bet agreement next year, he is somewhat restrained.

At this time, a company called Chenhai appeared and was also acquiring many copyrights of online novels, film and television adaptation rights, etc., which made him feel that he might have met a soulmate.

I didn't expect that we would meet by chance and receive help from each other.

"Why for the time being?" Gao Xueyi was curious.

"At present, I am more like a star, and actors only serve the stars." Zhang Yang smiled: "I have many identities. Maybe when I gain recognition for my acting skills, I can modestly say that I am an actor."

"That's a very interesting statement." Gao Xueyi smiled.

"It's also to urge myself to improve." Zhang Yang smiled faintly and looked down at his watch: "We'll talk again when there's a chance. I'm going to the bathroom first. The award ceremony is about to start."

Gao Xueyi smiled and nodded.

But when Zhang Yang came out after peeing, he found that he was still there.

The two of them then returned to the award ceremony chatting, where the stars, most of the staff, and people from government departments had already arrived.

Seeing Zhang Yang and Gao Xueyi walking to the front row together, talking and laughing, many people's eyes flickered and they whispered to the people around them.

"When did this guy get to know Director Gao?" Tang Yan exclaimed.

Next to her were Liu Shishi and Yang Mi, who couldn't help but ask, "Who is this Director Gao?"

"He is the director of the script center of Kedun Media. He is the one who led the acquisition of many online novel copyrights. He is said to have many connections abroad." Tang Yan explained in a low voice: "The drama "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family" that I filmed was led by him."

Hearing this, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi's expressions changed slightly.

Ordinary people may not know, but as insiders they know a lot.

Kerton Media is not simple. It has 8 subsidiaries including Modou Juku Culture Communication, Modou Syndicate Film and Television, Modou Haoju Film and Television, Juxin Culture, Kerton Film and Television, as well as 8 studios including Blue Whale Studio and New World Studio.

Now Huace is discussing the acquisition with Croton’s top management. If nothing unexpected happens, the latter will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the former next year.

Huace is even more impressive, as it is the first listed company in China whose main business is TV dramas.

Ms. Zhao Yifang, the founder and chairman of Huace, can also be considered a legendary figure, comparable to Jiang Zhiqiang.

"Did this guy tell you the truth? Is he really just an ordinary person who started from scratch and whose parents only have a small amount of assets and are divorced and don't care about him?" Yang Mi asked Liu Shishi.

Tang Yan laughed in her heart.

This is quite realistic.

Why can't you ask yourself?

Feeling Tang Yan's gaze, Yang Mi blinked: "Tangtang wants to know too, right?"

Tang Yan: “Yes!”

Liu Shishi smiled and shook her head: "I don't know, and I won't ask too much. Why do you care so much?"

The two girls: “.”

It’s so annoying. Isn’t this a kind of Versailles?

At the same time, Zhang Yang and Gao Xueyi walked away separately, and the latter took out his business card on his own initiative.

"This is my business card." Zhang Yang took the business card and took out his own.

Although they are rivals in competing for IP copyrights, they are not necessarily enemies. Instead, they can cooperate.

For example, in the Gu Man trilogy, he only got one part, "Love O2O", which was left in Gu Man's hands.

But he also wants to take a bite of "Come on, Mr. Love" and "Fall in Love with You".

"Let's have tea together when you're free." Gao Xueyi left with a smile.

After the episode, Zhang Yang returned to his seat.

He sat next to Gillian Chung.

"Hello, I'm your fan." Zhong Xintong sat upright on the chair and took the initiative to smile and greet: "I like your "Xuan-Yuan Sword" very much."

"Thank you." Zhang Yang responded immediately: "I am also your fan, a loyal fan."

Gillian smiled and said, "No need to be polite, which of my works do you like best?"

Zhang Yang: “.”

This is a good question.
