Huayu 2005: Chat groups are full of real celebrities

Jiangbei asked, "What about the script for 'Hanna'?"

The private room fell silent immediately.

Liu Yifei held the bottle of mineral water and took a small sip.

Her long eyelashes drooped gently, as if she were organizing her thoughts.

But the words stuck in his throat.

Finally, she turned her pleading gaze to Zhu Yiwen, who was standing to the side.

Zhu Yiwen put down the water bottle and sighed softly.

"It's not that Sisi doesn't want to buy it."

Even if you actually buy it, you might not be able to get a ticket.

"Her current situation... is more difficult than you imagine."

"If someone keeps your script in their hands for years and then locks it in a drawer, that would be a real disservice to your hard work."

The words weren't explicitly stated, but the meaning was already quite clear.

Jiang Bei was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

Recently, Tang Ren has been making a lot of moves, smearing, stirring up trouble, and creating public opinion.

Companies with good relationships with Liu Yifei dare not touch her.

Neutral companies also chose to wait and see.

On the surface, no one is blocking it.

In reality, it was as if they were trapped in an invisible net.

Thinking of this, Jiang Bei felt a little sorry for her.

He clearly had a winning hand, but he played it with great restraint.

Ultimately, no one showed her the way.

No wonder he later went to an island nation to release an album, claiming it was for international development, but it was actually more like he went there to avoid the limelight.

But then he realized he was getting anxious too.

"Hannah" was the biggest stepping stone for me to enter the entertainment industry.

If she can't handle it, she'll be caught in the crossfire too.

No, such a long, white... cough, such a thick thigh, I can't let it get away for nothing.

Jiang Bei stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"You two are still students at the Beijing Film Academy, right?"

"Is the homeroom teacher Cui Xinqin, Wang Jinsong, or Teacher Xie Yuan?"

Zhu Yiwen nodded.

"Our class is a bit special. We were taught by Professor Cui, then Professor Wang Jinsong, and last year Professor Wang Chunzi taught us."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly paused in surprise.

"etc."

"Are you investigating us too?"

Jiangbei rolled his eyes.

"Public information is readily available; a simple search on Baidu will provide all of it."

"Do we even need an investigation?"

"We otaku love reading your gossip the most!"

He leaned back on the sofa and suddenly laughed.

"Actually, you have been overlooking a most powerful force."

Liu Yifei and Zhu Yiwen both looked at him at the same time.

"What kind of power?"

Jiangbei slowly uttered three words:

"Academic school".

He held up one finger.

"Professor Cui's connections."

"Thank you for your connections."

"Teacher Wang's connections."

"Which one isn't ubiquitous in the entertainment industry?"

"Directors, actors, producers, cinematographers, art directors... which industry hasn't had students trained by them?"

"Capital may disperse, resources may change, but the number of students a teacher mentors will only increase."

"Do you really think the Beijing Film Academy is just a school?"

Jiangbei became more and more excited as he talked.

"In my eyes, that's the biggest cultivation sect in the entertainment industry!"

One sentence left both of them stunned.

"Cultivation sects?"

Jiang Bei nodded seriously.

"The directing, acting, and cinematography departments are all like sect elders."

"Those who graduated were all senior brothers and sisters from various peaks."

"This guy won Best Actor today."

"The one who will become a TV Queen tomorrow."

"Another director, producer, and capital tycoon will appear the day after tomorrow."

"Normally they all pursue their own paths, but when it really matters, they all protect their own."

At this point, he suddenly looked at Liu Yifei.

"Especially someone like you."

"In a novel, she would be a junior sister of a sect."

"She usually looks gentle and harmless."

"If someone dares to bully you, just turn around and see—"

"Holy crap, half of the entertainment industry are your senior brothers and sisters."

"With a single word from their master, a group of people descended the mountain to kill."

"Who would dare to make a move?"

The private room was quiet for two seconds before Zhu Yiwen couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hahahaha!"

He laughed so hard he slapped his thigh, the more he thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed.

The more outrageous it is, the more apt it seems.

Liu Yifei was also amused, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing even her signature white teeth.

But as she laughed, the smile on her face gradually faded.

Jiang Bei's joke was like a key, suddenly opening a door she had never noticed before.

Over the years, whenever she encountered problems, the first thing she thought of was always her mother and the connections of her "fathers".

But she never seriously considered it.

Behind him, there was actually another powerful backer—

Beijing Film Academy.

The four characters on the stone screen wall at the school gate suddenly came to mind.

—Passing on the torch.

Previously, she always thought it was just the school motto.

Only today did I realize that those four words were never just a slogan hanging on the wall.

Teachers mentor students, and students support the next generation.

One generation leads the next, one term helps the next.

Personal connections, resources, and experience are passed down little by little in this way.

It was a network of personal connections that spanned the entire entertainment industry, yet was the easiest to overlook.

She suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Over the years, she has relied on her mother and family connections to move forward, but she has never seriously cultivated the most precious teacher-student and fellow student relationships around her.

She gently gripped the mineral water bottle in her hand, silently memorizing the four words "passing on the torch" in her heart.

From now on, she must walk this path well.

Jiang Bei, however, was completely unaware that his joke had changed the girl's mind, and continued to complain to himself:

"Why abandon your sect and run off to an island nation to avoid trouble?"

"Isn't this like guarding a spiritual vein while going out to beg for food?"

"My turn! I'll go back to the sect and call for reinforcements!"

"If we can't get the Best Actor award, we'll at least get two directors."

"Anyone who dares to smear me, I'll cancel their schedule first!"

The private room fell silent for a moment.

The next second, Zhu Yiwen burst out laughing.

Liu Yifei finally couldn't hold back anymore and laughed so hard her shoulders trembled slightly, revealing her gums.

The somewhat oppressive atmosphere was completely dispelled by Jiang Bei's few words.

And at this moment, the matter of "Hanna" seemed to see a glimmer of hope again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was quite right, Jiang Bei quickly turned the subject back to the main topic.

"that……"

"Are you really not considering the script for 'Hanna'?"

The private room fell silent for a moment.

Liu Yifei was in a great mood after being amused by his theory of "junior sister of the sect" "leading people down the mountain".

As soon as he opened his mouth, he started talking business again.

The little bit of goodwill she had just developed vanished instantly.

He was so angry he almost vomited.

"You can consider it."

"However, we definitely can't use your rip-off pricing."

Jiang Bei blushed.

He made exorbitant demands before because he thought the other party was a scammer.

Who knew the con artist was actually the real Liu Tianyi?

I knew earlier...

The price could be even higher.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Selling scripts?

What kind of script are you selling!

The person sitting in front of me is one of the most powerful figures in the entertainment industry in the future!

Once the script is sold out, it's gone.

But what if I were to tie myself to this big, thick leg as an accessory...?

Will we still lack food in the future?

Jiang Bei became increasingly excited as he thought about it, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "I'm not selling it!"

Liu Yifei and Zhu Yiwen were both taken aback: "Not selling anymore?"

Jiang Bei nodded seriously: "Let's talk about cooperation!"

As he spoke, he held up two fingers and waved them in front of the two of them.

"I provide the script, the songs, the ideas, and the production."

"You provide the money, the resources, and the personnel."

"Let's set up a studio."

"Let's get rich together!"

Then he added:

"In the future entertainment industry, we'll split it 70/30."

Liu Yifei blinked:

"Who's seven?"
