Huayu09: Starting with Hijacking Xiao Shenyang

Chapter 6 The Banned Celestial Beauty

A fledgling Errenzhuan (a traditional Chinese folk art form) performer.

They actually want to compare film expertise with the national director.

At once…

Forehead…

It's not just about reversing the Heavenly Gang.

This guy is absolutely insane!

"Pfft... Hahaha..." Zhang Weiping burst into laughter again. "Old Zhao, where did you find this weirdo? He can actually provide promotional material for our movie. Film 'A Simple Noodle Story' right away. If we don't make a hundred million this time, we'll consider it a loss."

Zhang Weiping is indeed a businessman; he uses the content of the conversation as a gimmick to lure more viewers into the cinema.

Zhao Benshan was in a difficult position.

On one side is Xiao Shenyang's future, and on the other side is Chen Mo's future.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

How to choose?

Think for a moment.

Zhao Benshan waved his hand, his expression serious, and said, "President Zhang, don't take this child's impulsive actions seriously. I don't want today's conversation to end like this..."

"Master, if Mr. Zhang wants to promote it, then let him promote it. I don't mind."

Chen Mo said calmly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up!"

Zhao Benshan said angrily.

"Master, I lost both my parents when I was young and you raised me. I've been waiting for 18 years for this opportunity. I want to prove myself, not to show how great I am, but to tell everyone loudly that my master has the best judgment."

Chen Mo didn't complain or get angry; instead, he grinned.

Sunlight streamed through the window.

The light shone on him.

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and red lips and white teeth.

At this moment, he is the one chosen by the light.

The fairy-like beauty takes off her mask.

She stared blankly at the big boy who was grinning foolishly.

My heart started racing.

The composition of this scene has such a cinematic feel.

"You brat, you're trying to blackmail me with your gratitude."

Zhao Benshan was implying something.

Suddenly my eye sockets feel sore, like there's sand in them.

"In that case, it's settled then. Old Zhao, where are we going to eat? I'm starving."

Zhang Weiping truly didn't consider himself an outsider.

His speech and behavior were always aloof and superior.

This stems from his deepest confidence that, by controlling the prestigious title of "National Director," he can do whatever he wants in the Chinese film industry.

They even threatened to force theaters to make concessions.

What a load of rubbish, Benshan Media!

A low-end entertainment company that can only produce TV dramas and variety shows.

……

Chen Mo didn't go to Lu Mingchun's place, but instead took Liu Yifei to Lao Zhao's pork butcher restaurant.

The restaurant was small and not fancy.

But it's very clean.

"Are you really good at writing screenplays?"

Liu Yifei asked softly.

"Oh, you're going to play the female lead?"

Chen Mo countered with a question.

"No, no, I didn't."

Liu Yifei quickly shook her head in denial.

"You look down on the notebooks I write?"

Chen Mo continued to ask questions.

"No, no, oh dear, you're...bad."

"Haha, I remember you weren't like this before, you were quite lively and cheerful."

"People always change."

Liu Yifei is only 21 years old and not very old.

His personality has become much more stable or more low-key than before.

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.

At this point in time, Liu Yifei was being blacklisted by Huayi Brothers and couldn't get any good resources.

Well, this matter doesn't have much to do with Liu Yifei herself.

The main issue is Chen Fei, who is not in the entertainment industry.

Short-sighted and ignorant of the rules.

He thought that the frenzied praise from domestic media would prove Liu Yifei's popularity.

He fantasized about making a name for himself in the Chinese entertainment industry all by himself.

That's definitely a bit of a pipe dream.

When Liu Yifei signed with an American agency, it was like a resounding slap in the face to both Wang and Da Wang.

The two brothers have been lording it over the entertainment industry for over a decade; how could they possibly be content with that?

This marked the beginning of the feud between the two kings and Chen.

And immediately spread the word within the industry that Liu Yifei would not be allowed to be promoted!

Some big-name actresses who disliked the celestial beauty had been waiting for this moment for far too long.

Suddenly, all sorts of negative rumors about Liu Yifei were flying around.

Being outshone today and outshone again tomorrow, wearing knock-off dresses to events, bringing up old stories about transgender people, etc.

According to the timeline, in May of this year, "The Godfather" was once again pushed into the spotlight by news websites, and was subsequently reported and attacked by the entire internet.

Liu Xiaoli wasn't entirely foolish; she took her daughter ahead of time and went to Hong Kong to seek refuge with Jiang Zhiqiang.

This prevented Liu Yifei from being greatly affected, and she even landed two big-budget Hong Kong films.

However, the response was lukewarm.

The era of Hong Kong cinema has passed. Mainland audiences will no longer blindly rush into cinemas to contribute to box office revenue just because they see the words "Hong Kong" as they used to.

Having barely weathered these past few years, Liu Xiaoli has started causing trouble again, abandoning her devastated godfather and taking her daughter to join Huayi Brothers, even instigating her daughter and Gao Lisong to have a "real-life" relationship.

Because Song Goryeo's management contract is with Huayi Brothers, and she receives attention and strong support from Wang Sicong.

As for why Xiao Wang is so supportive of Song Joong-ki, opinions will vary.

After all…right?

Liu Xiaoli wanted to reconcile with Huayi through Gao Lisong.

But man proposes, God disposes, and a lot of ridiculous and unfortunate things happened in between.

This put the mother and daughter in a passive position once again.

As for his later public relationship with Song Joong-ki, it was entirely a reactive effort to salvage the situation. He wasn't even a go-between; he was just a minor character being used.

Xiao Wang gave Goryeo Song some resources, but it didn't make any waves, so he stopped paying attention to it.

Seeing that her fake son-in-law was no longer of any use, Liu Xiaoli immediately ordered her daughter to forbid her from having any further contact with him.

But since the relationship has already been made public, it cannot be denied immediately.

I can only occasionally expose these controversial topics.

They dragged their feet, waiting for an opportunity.

This is why, during their so-called relationship, Liu Yifei basically never posted anything about her boyfriend on Weibo.

The resources for filming "Mulan" were provided by Jiang Zhiqiang.

It's not a shady deal.

Jiang Zhiqiang does indeed admire Liu Yifei. It is said that when filming "Lust, Caution," he used his connections to try to cast Liu as Wang Jiazhi.

At once…

Forehead…

The appreciation of such a big shot is indeed extraordinary.

In summary.

Liu Yifei is currently experiencing a career slump, so it's normal for her to take a low-key approach.

"Are you planning to develop your career in Hong Kong?"

Chen Mo changed the subject.

"How...how did you know?"

Liu Yifei asked in shock.

The film "The Forbidden Kingdom" ruined all her opportunities to develop her career in mainland China, leaving her no choice but to seek refuge with Uncle Jiang in Hong Kong.

"Didn't you come with Producer Jiang? And you offended Huayi Brothers in mainland China. Is that hard to guess?"

"Okay, I'm not as smart as you."

"Hong Kong films are no longer popular. The market is too small, there is a talent gap, and the themes are too rigid. Filmmakers are moving north en masse."

"I know, but... never mind, let's not talk about these troublesome things. Nana's task for me is to treat you to dinner."

The two entered the private room one after the other.

They were all wearing hats and masks, and none of the fans recognized them.

The meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests.

The next day.

Liu Yifei followed Jiang Zhiqiang back to Beijing.

Chen Mo then brought the script and storyboards to his mentor's office.

"Master, I brought the things over, please take a look."

Zhao Benshan pursed his lips, both loving and hating it, and reached out to take it.

At first glance, it definitely looks like a script.

At first glance, it seems pretty good.

The third time I looked at it, it was a bit mind-bending; I didn't quite understand it.
