Entertainment: The Era of the Cantonese Circle

The fact is, there will be people causing trouble, and Jiang Yiyan won't just stand by and watch, but will instead interfere.

She had only been standing next to the two for a few seconds when people around them started discussing it in small groups.

"Oh ho, another one. Producer Chen is quite popular."

"It's not surprising. Putting aside Producer Chen's status, his good looks alone are enough to attract women."

"Both are quite attractive, which one will Producer Chen choose?"

"If I had to choose, I'd pick Jiang Yiyan. Her name alone is enough to impress."

"I choose Jiang Shuying, she's a sweet and gentle girl."

"Can't I choose both?"

You're awesome!

Although some people advised that it's best to just take a look and not chat too much to avoid getting into trouble.

But people in the crew love to gossip, especially about the important figures in the crew; that's the most interesting thing to talk about.

The assistant director whispered in Li Wenqi's ear.

"What is the relationship between the director, the two actresses, and producer Chen?"

"I don't know."

"Should I sound them out?"

"Let's see how things go first."

Li Wenqi remained unmoved.

He'd seen this kind of thing too many times. It's normal for newcomers, especially actresses, to want to climb the ladder. As far as he was concerned, as long as it didn't affect filming, it was fine.

Jiang Yiyan felt the gazes around her and was somewhat smug, but her smugness didn't last long before Chen Yunfan slipped away.

This infuriated her. "Am I poisonous? Will you get poisoned if I stay a little longer?"

If I can't handle you, I'll handle this woman first.

Jiang Yiyan inquired, "I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Yiyan. What's your name?"

Jiang Shuying had originally intended to leave, but upon hearing Jiang Yiyan's words, she also wanted to inquire, "Jiang Shuying, you're a junior at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, how did you meet Producer Chen?"

"Oh, what a coincidence! Your surname is Jiang, and you both went to performing arts schools like me. I'm from Beijing Film Academy, and Yunfan and I are classmates in different departments but the same year."

Jiang Yiyan then asked in return, "And you, how did you and Yunfan meet?"

"I was an actor in 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back,' and Producer Chen took good care of me on set."

Jiang Yiyan chuckled inwardly. "Is this little bitch showing off to me? You're still too green, you're just an undergraduate student."

"He took good care of many students at school, and I was one of the students he took care of before."

Jiang Shuying's heart sank. He's nice to everyone, am I not an exception? No, it's also possible that Jiang Yiyan is deliberately trying to anger her.

"I didn't expect Producer Chen to be so kind. I wonder how he takes care of you?"

"These are all private little things, I'm a little embarrassed to talk about them."

What angers her is what angers her.

Jiang Shuying may seem a little shy, but she's actually quite competitive and started arguing with the other person.

Jiang Yiyan looked like she was taking pictures of whoever was taking them.

The two exchanged blows, neither willing to concede.

But everyone knows that the key issue is not winning against the other party, but rather who gets closer to the real person.

......

The next day! An ordinary day, but the Guangzhou Daily saw an increase in sales.

The reason can be traced back to a report on the front page.

"Our city of Guangzhou welcomes its own protagonist."

"What main character? This story begins with an interview at Guangzhou Film City."

"You might be wondering, does Guangzhou have a film and television city? Today, I'm here to tell you definitively, yes, it does. Construction began this year, with a planned area of ​​several tens of square kilometers, and it's still under construction and hasn't been officially announced yet."

"However, the Guangzhou Film and Television City, which is not publicly known, has already hosted two major film and television productions."

"One is 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back,' directed by and starring Stephen Chow. The other is a biographical TV series about Bruce Lee, who is famous all over the world."

"Now that we've confirmed the existence of Guangzhou Film City, we have to mention one person, who is the protagonist I just mentioned."

"Why do we say he's the main character? Because he's the producer of a movie and a TV series, and he's the one who brought the movie and TV series to Guangzhou Film and Television City for filming."

"His name is Chen Yunfan. He is from Guangzhou. He studied at the Beijing Film Academy in Beijing. After graduation, he returned to Guangzhou to help promote the cultural development of Guangzhou."

"He has the shining qualities that a protagonist should have. Yesterday, I interviewed him at Guangzhou Film City. He struck me as very interesting. How interesting? Take a look at our conversation."

The reporters from the Guangdong-Japan media outlet didn't hide anything or embellish anything; they directly reported the entire "guess what" segment about Chen Yunfan.

Even the fact that Chen Yunfan could sing the song "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" was reported.

This matter has attracted attention from various industries in Guangzhou.

A citizen watching entertainment news commented: "Hilarious! He's teasing reporters like they're walking a dog. Is he even planning to sing a song from 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back'? Let's hear it when it's released. If it's not as good as 'A Lifetime of Love,' then we should call him 'Pink Intestine' from now on."

Ordinary neighbors think, "These days, young people don't come back easily after they go out. He not only came back, but he also brought back a movie and a TV series. He's a good-looking guy."

"But what's this film studio? Is it a good place to go after dinner? Are there any good places to eat?"

People in Guangdong's film and television industry are quite happy. "We'd heard about the film and television city a while ago, but we thought it was just for show. We didn't expect it to actually exist, and it's so big. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

A shrewd small vendor thought, "I heard that a film crew has dozens or even hundreds of people, and tourists come in thousands every day. Wouldn't this area be a great place to set up a stall?"

Some businessmen have mixed feelings: "Before it was made public, it was difficult to acquire land in the surrounding area; now that it's public, it's even harder to acquire land."

People at the provincial and municipal levels are paying attention to this matter, and some have even called the Guangzhou Daily.

The editor-in-chief received the call and then called the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section.

"Yes, yes, editor-in-chief, this was my oversight. I will teach my subordinates not to do such things again."

The entertainment reporter from Guangzhou Daily listened with a sigh.

Yesterday, someone was overjoyed after learning about this, insisting on reporting it and asking the editor-in-chief for the front page, praising the young man who had returned. Now that something has happened, they blame me.

After hanging up the phone, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section looked at him and said, "You've really messed up, kid. The editor-in-chief said the city government called, and the province government called too."

"What happened to the editor-in-chief? There's nothing wrong with my report. Praising the young people who came back is fine. At most, the part where I was amused was funny, but I didn't go too far in that respect. When I came here, I heard many readers say they liked that part."

"You're fine on this point, but you're wrong on another one: you've revealed the location of Guangzhou Film City."

"What's wrong with announcing it? Previous entertainment news reports about 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back' included coverage of Guangzhou Film City. 'The Legend of Bruce Lee' is a hot entertainment topic recently, and it also reports on where it was filmed."

"That's the problem. Don't you find it strange? There's been a lot of media coverage about things involving film studios."

He suddenly realized, "Yes, why?"

The entertainment section editor said irritably, "Idiot, because he's been suppressed by his superiors."

"I was stupid. I thought the people in the urban section were so short-sighted that they couldn't even see news about film studios that affect urban development. Turns out they just can't report on it."

"I was wondering why the editor-in-chief smiled so brightly at me yesterday. It seems he wanted to report such big news. Since the city section couldn't report it well, the entertainment section could use the loophole of entertainment news to get it out."

The Guangzhou Daily entertainment reporter's eyes widened. "What do we do now? Are we being watched by higher-ups for reporting this?"

"You're lucky, kid. You've turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise. Some big shots said your reporting was fairly positive, setting a good example for young people abroad."

The entertainment reporter from Guangzhou Daily breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, okay, you're just trying to scare me. You're the editor-in-chief, I won't hold it against you."

"However, we should try to report positive news about Chen Yunfan in the future, and leave the negative news out."

"clear!"

The Guangzhou Daily entertainment reporter knew that once someone like Chen Yunfan was seen by the city and province authorities, he would definitely be promoted as a role model. If you report his negative side, wouldn't that imply that the higher-ups lack vision?
