I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 158 No Title

She also brought her family and newcomers with her when she filmed, resulting in her salary dropping by half, and she still had to take on some bad films.

It was like being "roasted over a fire".

Cheng Sheng only hoped that Zeng Li wouldn't end up like Ju Jingyi, who was exploited and then had to pay out of her own pocket to sue the company.

Cheng Sheng chatted with Zeng Li for a while, and seeing that filming was about to start, he let her leave.

Today is Zeng Li's last scene on set. After filming, she can go home tonight or tomorrow.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she can unleash her killing intent today.

With Cheng Sheng's presence and support, it would be impossible for anything unexpected to happen.

Time flies.

After everyone finished their boxed lunches at noon, Cheng Sheng let everyone rest for an hour before continuing filming without stopping.

"Okay, passed."

After forty minutes, Liu Meng shouted with joy after Empress He was poisoned.

Zeng Li, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse for a while, got up, took the towel her assistant brought her, gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and smiled at everyone, saying, "I'm finally free."

"Mom, congratulations on wrapping up your scenes."

"That's what Zhu Feng, the young actor who plays Emperor Shao of Han, also known as Liu Bian, said playfully."

Zeng Li chuckled and ruffled his hair, saying, "You little rascal, you're so naughty. If I really had a son as big as you, I'd have a real headache."

"Haha, Ms. Zeng Li, if you like children, you can have one yourself."

Tan Zongrao, who plays Wang Yun, laughed loudly.

Zeng Li blushed and subconsciously glanced at Cheng Sheng, only to find him discussing something with Liu Meng. A chill ran down her spine.

"Teacher Tan, she doesn't even have a boyfriend! Please don't tease her."

Wei Pengfei, the actor who plays Cai Yong, said.

"Everyone come over here."

At this moment, Liu Meng picked up a megaphone and shouted to everyone on set.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Li and the others crowded around, eager to hear what Liu Meng had to say.

Liu Meng didn't speak, but handed the megaphone to Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng, holding a megaphone, said, "To congratulate Teacher Zeng Li on wrapping up her scenes, I've decided to hold a wrap party for her tonight. Everyone should go home early, take a shower, and then we'll have dinner together in the hotel lobby at six o'clock."

"awesome."

"Director Cheng is magnanimous."

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered with delight.

"Congratulations on wrapping up filming, Ms. Zeng Li."

People around Zeng Li congratulated her.

"Sister Li, if you leave, I'll lose someone I can talk to."

Jing Tian was a little reluctant to see Zeng Li leave, after all, there weren't many actresses in this drama.

Wang Zhi left before, and Su Chang left the day after Wang Zhi left. Now Zeng Li has left as well. She has found that there is no actress in the crew she can talk to anymore.

“Even though I’m leaving, we can still chat through our QQ group! You can call me if you have time,” Zeng Li said, holding Da Tian Tian’s hand.

"Then we'll have to talk. When we're not filming tonight, you have to keep me company and chat."

Da Tian Tian happily said, "Okay."

"Sister Li, is it difficult to get into the Central Academy of Drama?" Da Tiantian asked.

“It’s difficult for others, but not for you. Once this movie is released and you become a star, even if your score doesn’t meet the requirements, the Central Academy of Drama will still specially admit you to the school,” Zeng Li said.

Special admissions are available at both the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy.

For example, Dong Qing was specially recruited into the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy by director You Xiaogang at the age of 13, becoming one of the youngest specially recruited students in the school.

Shao Bing was also specially admitted to the Beijing Film Academy.

In the future, there will be Liu Haoran, Wu Lei, Qianxi Didi, Zhao Jinmai, and Guan Xiaotong, among others.

Even someone like Da Tian Tian has a chance to be specially recruited.

However, given her academic achievements that would allow her to get into the Beijing Film Academy, she probably won't need to be specially recruited.

It's late August.

Earlier, the video of Cheng Sheng and Wu Baige caused a great uproar online, but in the end, the public opinion was suppressed by someone, and the two news items disappeared from the Internet not long after.

This shows how much power the person who could suppress these two news items wielded.

Many people speculate that China Film Group Corporation (CFGC) was behind it.

After all, apart from China Film Group, very few people can do something like this.

Even if it were possible, there would be no need for that person to go to so much trouble to suppress these two news items.

China Film Group and Cheng Sheng have a deep cooperative relationship with Wu Baige. China Film Group invested in both "The Yellow Turban Rebellion" and "Red Cliff" and had a high percentage of investment in them.

China Film Group (CFG) intervened to suppress public opinion because it didn't want Cheng Sheng and Wu Baige to suffer losses and the film it invested in to go down the drain.

After that, Cheng Sheng and Wu Baige both fell silent and did not appear in front of the media for more than a month, staying on set to film.

With fewer news reports about Cheng Sheng and Wu Baige, the internet has become much quieter.

The silence doesn't mean there's no news.

The Super Girl competition has ended. In a nationwide vote, Li Yuchun won the championship with 352 million votes and appeared on the cover of Time magazine.

This made Li Yuchun an instant star, and Tianyu Media made a fortune thanks to him.

Other contestants who came out of "Super Girl," such as Zhou Bichang, were also extremely popular and enjoyed immense fame.

Besides the news about "Super Girl," another shocking event occurred in the entertainment industry.

In 2004, Stephen Chow's film "Kung Fu Hustle" became a huge hit across China, and "Star Girl" Huang Sheng entered the public eye overnight, gaining immense fame and winning a Hong Kong Film Award for her performance.

In the same year, Huang Shengyi signed a contract with Stephen Chow's Hong Kong Star Overseas company for eight years.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Within a year, a conflict arose between the two parties. Huang Shengyi's unauthorized photoshoot for "Men's Style" magazine, which was considered a mature style, became the trigger. Star Overseas directly announced that Huang Shengyi was being sidelined. Prior to this, Huang Shengyi had requested to terminate his contract with Star Overseas, but his request was not accepted.

After this news came out, Huang Shengyi unilaterally announced the termination of his 8-year contract with Star Overseas, claiming that he could no longer tolerate it and that he would leave Star Overseas at any cost, even if it meant leaving the entertainment industry. His attitude was very firm.

Huang Shengyi even claimed in the media that Star Overseas Ltd. used intimidation and threats to force him to make films or endorse products.

In July, Huang Shengyi was supposed to attend an endorsement event for a certain company, but he didn't go.

The event was negotiated through Star Overseas, but later someone revealed that the two sides had a falling out, which is why Huang Shengyi refused to participate.

Seeing that the conflict was about to become public, Huang Shengyi took the initiative and held a press conference to accuse his employer of being domineering, exploiting employees, and making threats.

Huang Shengyi cried his eyes out at the press conference, which earned him a lot of sympathy.

Star Shine responded immediately, and the two sides started arguing.
