This director is so innocent.

"Are you a dog? You like to bite people so much."

Su Jin had a faint smile on her face. Seeing her adorable face, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch her rosy cheeks.

"You're the one who's like a dog! I'll bite you to death!" Liu Shishi bared her teeth and raised her cat paw as if to pounce.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Let me introduce you to a new friend." Su Jin smiled and turned to walk back, not at all afraid of Sister Xia's sneak attack.

Sister Xia is still very sensible. She may be playful, but she remains serious when she sees outsiders.

"Brother Shen." Liu Shishi greeted Shen Haobo with a smile, and the latter nodded with a smile.

"Chen Zhixi, my assistant, is also the future big producer of my company," Su Jin introduced to Liu Shishi.

Chen Zhixi was flattered by the words.

She had always thought that Su Jin's promise to make her a producer was just empty talk, but she didn't expect Su Jin to say the same thing to others. It seems that Su Jin really meant it.

Liu Shishi looked Chen Zhixi up and down. Long hair, her face wasn't as small as Liu Shishi's, her legs weren't as thin, her figure wasn't as good, and her chest...

What's the point of comparing breasts? They're just two pieces of flesh, what's the point of comparing them?

"Hello, Liu Shishi." Liu Shishi immediately extended her hand and greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Chen Zhixi."

The two shook hands, thus becoming acquainted.

"Don't just stand there, let's find a place to get some late-night snacks!" Su Jin said, then looked at Liu Shishi and said, "This is your territory, it's your treat."

"OK." Liu Shishi waved her hand and said boldly, "Come with me."

After saying that, she naturally took Su Jin's arm and led the way.

Su Jin did not refuse and let him hold her arm.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixi's gossipy soul was stirred. She looked at Shen Haobo and secretly pointed ahead.

Shen Haobo shrugged helplessly, indicating that he also didn't understand their relationship.

You could say they're dating!

However, Su Jin never admitted it, and instead unscrupulously exchanged artistic ideas with other movie stars.

You might say they didn't talk!

But judging from how naturally they interact, it doesn't seem like they are.

Is it really just a good relationship? So good that they can hug and cuddle casually?

Seven or eight minutes later, we arrived at a barbecue stall.

"Brother Jin, let me tell you, this barbecue place is absolutely delicious! I come here all the time," Liu Shishi said excitedly to Su Jin, holding the menu.

Just as Su Jin was about to say something, she saw Liu Shishi had already moved closer to Chen Zhixi and said with a grin, "Sister Zhixi, look, order whatever you want to eat, don't be shy with me."

Is this forgetting one's feelings for a friend?

The two girls chattered excitedly as they ordered, while Shen Haobo made a phone call, planning his itinerary in Lin'an for the next day.

This book signing event will be held in seven cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Lin'an, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Hongdu, and Changsha.

Although Hongdu has a weak presence, as his hometown, he still needs to give back.

Of course, the fact that his hometown fans are very supportive of his work also plays a part.

Otherwise, he wouldn't go if it were just because of his hometown.

After ordering, Su Jin casually asked, "Shishi, how is Brother Hu's injury?"

"He's much better now, he can even get out of bed, but his face is disfigured," Liu Shishi sighed, sounding somewhat distressed.

"Brother Hu? Is that the Brother Hu who played Li Xiaoyao?" Chen Zhixi suddenly interjected.

"Yes." Liu Shishi nodded.

"How did he get injured? Was it from filming?" Chen Zhixi asked.

"Don't you know?" Liu Shishi asked back.

"have no idea."

"He was in a car accident, and his assistant died."

"Is it that serious?"

"Mm." Liu Shishi nodded and said nothing more.

"Alright, let's not talk about such heavy topics." Su Jin interrupted their conversation at the right time, changing the subject: "Shishi, let's talk about you! Now that Brother Hu is in the hospital, 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' definitely can't continue. Has Cai Yinong arranged any acting opportunities for you?"

"Yes! I just finished filming two movies called 'The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng'."

Su Jin was stunned for a moment. The blind woman had played Lu Xiaofeng? He didn't remember that.

Which company produced this TV series, "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng"?

"It was a joint production between the movie channel and Shanghai Film Studio. We invited Zhang Zhilin to star in it. I played Sun Xiuqing, a female disciple of the Emei Sect and one of the Four Beauties."

"Are you the female lead?"

"I guess so! There was another girl with similar screen time to me, named Wu Jiani."

Wu Jia is now the girlfriend of the Roaring Emperor, and also his second wife. The two are 21 years apart in age.

"By the way, He Rundong is also in it; he plays Ximen Chuixue."

"Ximen Chuixue? Ximen Chuixue dressed in white like snow?" Su Jin imagined He Rundong's appearance in her mind, and he was really ugly!

This producer has such a great eye for casting!

As we were talking, the barbecue arrived.

Su Jin picked up a chicken leg and took a bite.

Hmm... Sister Xia wasn't exaggerating, it really is quite delicious.

"What happens next? What's the show going to be like?"

"No, I'll wait for arrangements. I estimate I won't have any filming until the end of the year." Liu Shishi had a good attitude and wasn't in a hurry at all; on the contrary, she was quite happy.

Now that she's not filming, she can go back to the capital and play with Brother Jin.

After thinking for a moment, Su Jin asked, "Then do you want to act?"

"No," Liu Shishi said without hesitation.

"Don't want to?" Su Jin was a little surprised. If you don't want to enter the entertainment industry, why are you doing this?

"Yeah! Filming is so tiring. It takes three or four months to film, and you're suspended by wires every day. You also have to do makeup. It's exhausting."

It's really salted fish!

Upon hearing this, Su Jin abandoned the idea in her mind.

He originally wanted to recommend Liu Shishi for a role in a drama, but don't get your hopes up, it's just a supporting role. With his current status, he can't get the lead role.

Unless she is exceptionally talented, she is currently relatively unknown. She has acted in four or five dramas, but only two have been broadcast: "Moonlight and Lotus" and "Young Warriors of the Yang Clan".

Since "Young Justice Bao" became popular, a wave of imitations has emerged in the market, with a bunch of youth-themed TV series coming out.

For example, "The Young Imperial Envoy," "The Young Fong Sai-yuk," "The Young Wong Fei-hung," and "The Young Zhang Sanfeng"...

"Young Warriors of the Yang Clan" is also a product of this kind. It was co-produced by Tangren and Huayi, and premiered on the Shanghai Movie Channel on September 6.

Then, halfway through the broadcast, it was suddenly pulled from the schedule, and later it was switched to be broadcast in Anhui Province, but Anhui Province scheduled it for the midnight slot.

That's ridiculous! Midnight slots are for showing pornographic films, who would specifically watch this kind of historical idol drama?

The reasons for the cancellation were varied, including low ratings, conflict between the actors and the broadcasting platform, and even bloodshed. In any case, no one knew the real reason.

Needless to say, "Moonlight and Lotus Breeze" was Xia Jie's first drama, a complete flop.

Her stage name "Liu Shishi" was given to her by the director of this drama, Pingjiang Suojin.

The blind woman's original name was Liu Shishi.

"Brother Jin, let me go to the book signing with you!"

Liu Shishi suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a hint of expectation and coquettishness.

"No." Su Jin frowned and shook her head. "I'm going to work, not to play. I don't have time to take care of you."

"That's alright, I'll just stay with you."

"That won't work either."

"Brother Jin." Liu Shishi held Su Jin's hand and shook it gently, her voice sweet and coquettish.

Faced with the soft and cute offensive, Su Jin finally gave in and said irritably, "Stop shaking me, okay? I promise you!"

Upon hearing Su Jin's agreement, Liu Shishi was overjoyed and said with obvious delight, "Thank you, Brother Jin."

Su Jin smiled and added, "But let me make this clear first, this trip will be very tiring for me, as I'll be on airplanes for four consecutive days."

"Don't worry, I'm not delicate," Liu Shishi said coquettishly.

After finishing the barbecue, it was already past 8:30.

Afterwards, Su Jin and the other two followed Liu Shishi to her residence.

It has a two-bedroom, one-living room layout. The house is quite large, probably around 70 or 80 square meters. The decoration is also very nice, and the environment is pleasant.

After packing their luggage, the four of them set off for the airport.

It was past 11 p.m. when I landed in Lin'an. I took a business vehicle sent by the bookstore to the hotel, took a shower, and went to sleep.

Work resumed the next day, but this time there were restrictions on the number of people allowed in. After signing up more than 2,000 people, the operation ended.

Despite the large number of people, comparisons are always a factor.

Beijing and Shanghai each have three or four thousand people, so compared to that, doesn't it seem like a small number?

Over the next four days, we visited Guangzhou, Changsha, Hongdu, and Chengdu.

Coinciding with the National Day holiday, the number of participants in these four cities was roughly the same, around two thousand people each.

Seven cities, one a day, just right.

After running around non-stop for four days, Liu Shishi regretted coming along. Being tired wasn't the main problem; the real issue was that Su Jin had absolutely no free time!

After getting off the plane, I went to the hotel, attended a book signing event, and then took another plane to the next place without even a break.

Su Jin was also tired, but seeing the daily sales of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" gave her a burst of energy.

"The Longest Day in Chang'an" contains 41 words and is divided into two volumes, sold together. A single volume costs 21.9 yuan, and both volumes cost 39.9 yuan.

The first print run is one million copies; after all, it's a transformation! It's better to be cautious.

As for printing so many that they wouldn't sell, that's impossible.

He was able to consistently outsell Han and Guo not because of his talent, but because of the support of his followers; his novels always sold better than theirs.

If he were to switch careers again and continue writing youth-themed novels, the initial print run would be at least 1.5 million copies.

This time, Xiao Jiucai did not disappoint him. Sales were up every day, and in just seven days, one million copies were sold out.

It soared to the top of the bestseller list for literature and social science books, and it can be said that it was unrivaled in the market.

News reporters also covered the story.

"Su Jin's new book sold over a million copies in seven days."

"The best gift Su Jin gives to readers in 'The Longest Day in Chang'an'."

"How much money did 'The Longest Day in Chang'an' actually earn for Su Jin?"

……

In this day and age, the concept of a "National Day film season" doesn't exist yet.

But Hendrik Willem Van Loon managed to establish the "National Day film season" in popularity through a series of films.

The 04 film "New Police Story" grossed 4300 million.

The 05 film "The Myth" grossed 9700 million yuan at the mainland box office.

This time it's "Rob-B-Hood".

This film stars Hendrik Willem Van Loon, Principal Koo, Michael Hui, and Da Mei Yuan.

Emperor Investment, Huayi Publishing, cost 1.3 million.

With three superstars joining, the momentum is strong.

It grossed 1.5 million in its opening weekend, 1500 million in the seven-day National Day holiday, and ultimately 5600 million. The Hong Kong box office was 9400 million, and the total box office across Asia was 2340 million.

By the way, these days, when a movie is released, there's no need to do a roadshow. You just need to go to the premiere and then visit one or two important cities, and that's basically it.

What? You mean advertising?

Publicity is just about tearing each other apart and creating scandals! What kind of publicity is that?

For example, this time, Huayi shamelessly hyped up some interesting stories about Gao Yuanyuan and Fang Long.

The title and the accompanying picture were just like the real thing.

Gao Yuanyuan's role in "Rob-B-Hood" was small; she wasn't even a leading lady, just a typical pretty face.

Rumor has it that Gao Yuanyuan was able to star in the film because Hendrik Willem Van Loon spotted her at Cannes and subsequently invited her to star in "Rob-B-Hood".

Then Gao Yuanyuan rejected it, saying that it was a commercial film and she wouldn't make such a pointless film.

Look, look, this is just a scam to fool idiots!

What is Hendrik Willem Van Loon's status in the film industry?

It's fair to say that he's one of the top figures in the country right now.

Who in the entertainment industry wouldn't want to be the leading lady in a Hendrik Willem Van Loon film? Even if that leading lady is just a pretty face.

She's a Dragon Girl too!

It has made many female stars famous.

However, "Rob-B-Hood" didn't really boost Gao Yuanyuan's career, but she did successfully connect with resources in the Hong Kong entertainment circle through this film.

She subsequently starred in numerous Hong Kong films, including "A Perfect Match," "But Always," and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart."
