Views:

On the 15th day that Huang Qianshi was exposed to drug use, the discussion on the matter on the Internet has been greatly reduced, but because the entertainment industry has been calm for the past two weeks, the topic "Huang Qianshi was deported to Hong Kong" appeared on the list. He quickly climbed to the top of the hot search, and even sent Liang Sizhe and the movie "Darkest Choice" to the hot search again.

The next day, Cheng Duan pushed the door into Cao Ye's office with the new public opinion report, and sat opposite him: "Yesterday's discussion reached the peak of this week, I think it's time to make an official announcement, while everyone is right now. I'm still interested in this."

"Fuck, you decide this matter," Cao Ye took a look at the public opinion report and looked up at him, "Since the contract has been signed, the subsequent publicity process will follow your own pace, and you need to discuss it with me. ?"

"It's the first time I've cooperated with such a big player, am I guilty?" Cheng Duan laughed and joked with him.

"Come on you, it's like our company has never seen the world before," Cao Ye also laughed, "Speaking of which, Liang Sizhe is not as old as you."

"It hurts your heart to say this... I mean, if possible, let's take a makeup photo of Liang Sizhe and expose it together with the official announcement. The effect should be good, what do you think?"

The phone on the table vibrated, and there was a call. Cao Ye typed on the keyboard and replied to an email, not in a hurry to answer the call: "As long as his schedule is suitable, I have no problem."

The phone kept shaking, Cheng Duan couldn't help but glanced at the caller ID on the screen, "Qin Zhenzhen" - it seems that the recent rumor about Cao Ye breaking up with Lin Huan is true.

"Okay," Cheng Duan stood up, "if you don't mind, then I'll let go and make an appointment."

"Why do I think you're a little weird?" Cao Ye looked up at him, "I've never seen you discuss such a trivial matter with me before."

Cheng Duan was about to turn around and leave, when he heard the words, he turned his head and smiled at him: "Really? So what? Recently, there was a rumor in the company that I was going to seek power and seize the throne. I'm here to reassure you."

"I want you to tell me," Cao Ye smiled nonchalantly, "I'll take the initiative to make way for you." After he finished speaking, he picked up the phone and pressed the screen to connect the call.

"What's the matter?"

"Haha, it's okay, it's just missing me."

"Where are you?... Cheng, I'll pick you up later."

Cao Ye flirted in front of him without evading suspicion, and Cheng Duan was not surprised. After all, it was time for Cao Ye to change his girlfriend. It's been two months since he told Lin Huan. It's a record breaking. Empress or actress, Cheng Duan sighed in his heart that he was able to hold Mr. Cao for two months, and his charm and skill were not shallow...

He walked out of Cao Ye's office, closed the door, took out his mobile phone, lowered his head and sent a message to the project publicity group: "Come to the dolphin house for a meeting."

Cao Ye is right. In the past, all these propaganda matters were controlled by him alone, and he had hardly discussed it with Cao Ye. But for some reason, when it comes to Liang Sizhe, he always feels a little empty, and he doesn't dare to make up his own mind - it's not really because he hasn't worked with such a big player. In fact, before joining Lomon, he worked with him. There are also many wrists, so there is no need to show timidity in front of Liang Sizhe.

But Cao Ye really didn't dare to touch the inverse scale about "Liang Sizhe" on Cao Ye's body, just like no one in the middle and high level of their company would rashly ask for Cao Xiuyuan to cooperate.

- Could it be that Cao Ye's discord with Liang Sizhe was really because of what happened to Lin Huan back then? Cheng Duan couldn't help but guess, but he didn't see how much Cao Ye cared about Lin Huan... If he was someone who had been obsessed with forgetting for many years, how could he just be around for two months and then change to someone new

As he was thinking, the phone in his hand vibrated. Looking out, the company's most important commercial project in the second half of this year is about to start. The tentative casting results have just been released in the project group. Cheng Duan glanced at it, and sure enough, he saw "Qin Zhenzhen" three. words.

Cheng Duan has seen the script of that film. It's a pretty good drama, with boxing blood, family tears, and both the plot and the emotions. If you come to the market, you should like this type of film. Qin Zhenzhen's role in the film is the female No. 2, a wine saleswoman in an underground boxing ring. This role is quite amusing. She appears a lot but doesn't need too much acting. Most of the time, she only needs to stand behind the counter and pose as a She looks so cool and glamorous, she just needs to talk to the male protagonist with a few words of love - it suits Qin Zhenzhen so well, Cheng Duan can't help but want to laugh, Cao Ye has made countless girlfriends, and most of them have been arranged. The roles are actually arranged quite appropriately, no wonder it is Cao Xiuyuan's son, it seems that the genetics in this area are not wasted.

The matter of taking the makeup photos was quickly settled. Liang Sizhe responded very quickly. The executive agent Song Qingyan replied, "As long as it is within the contract period, Mr. Liang has a schedule any day."

Cheng Duan was slightly surprised to receive this reply. There have always been rumors in the circle that Liang Sizhe is not good at cooperating, but this reply can make Liang Sizhe rank in Cheng Duan's "Top 1 Best Talking Artist List". Song Qingyan asked whether this reply was instructed by Xu Yunchu, but Xu Yunchu would not be able to communicate like this.

It was finally decided to shoot the makeup photo the day after tomorrow, and the shooting location was set in the shooting studio inside the Lomond Building.

The interior design of Lomon was all conceived by Cao Ye, and he communicated with the designer before and after. When he initially proposed to set aside a whole floor of space for the shooting studio, he was strongly urged by another partner, Ding Xin. be opposed to. Ding Xin said at the time that there were shooting studios all over Beijing, and the rent was very cheap. It was a waste to build such a large-scale shooting studio inside the company. But Cao Ye didn't listen to it. He felt that it was not worthy to be a film company without a studio, so he insisted on retaining this design.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, someone shouted "Liang Sizhe is here" in the office area, and all the employees in the company immediately got up from their seats and scrambled to the floor-to-ceiling windows to look down.

It is said that the employees of the film company see more stars on weekdays, and ordinary little stars don't bother to look at them, but this practice does not apply to Liang Sizhe - Liang Sizhe will cause a sensation wherever he appears, and no one can deny that he is The superstar of this era.

But Liang Sizhe didn't have the style of a superstar when he came here today. He only brought the driver and Song Qingyan. He even pushed the door open by himself. The chassis of the off-road vehicle was very high. Black T black trousers, without sunglasses, looks much more refined than the dress at the airport.

Cheng Duan received the news. When he pushed the door and walked out of the office, he heard two young girls talking excitedly: "No makeup, you look super young! Ah, so handsome!" In the office, he is sticking his toes out of the window and looking down.

This kind of warm atmosphere infected Cheng Duan a little, and he felt a little excited in his mood. He had seen Liang Sizhe several times before on other occasions, but it was the first time for such a close cooperation. At his age, he could still feel the mood of chasing stars, and Cheng Duan felt a little incredible.

Before going downstairs, he knocked on the door of the company's large conference room. The group of students from the "Mandala" crew came over today to talk about post-production. Although this film is not a big investment, the rate of return estimated before is not high, and it may even face a loss of money when it is released, but Cao Ye is still very interested in this project. Every time the director brings the crew over, he will free up special chat with them for a while.

"Hey Mr. Cao," Cheng Duan bent his fingers and knocked on the open glass door, "Liang Sizhe is here, do you want to meet?"

Before Cao Ye spoke, several students raised their hands to cover their mouths, as if they were about to scream in the next second.

"I guessed it, the movement outside almost overturned the roof," Cao Ye leaned on the back of the chair, turned his face and waved at him, "You go first, I'll go after I'm done here. "

"Can we go?" The director's name was Ding Mao, a senior boy with a shaved head. At this time, his butt was lifted off the seat and he was about to rush out.

"Want to see Liang Sizhe or want to chat with me?" Cao Ye gave him a half-smiling look, "Go ahead, star chasing is important."

"No, no," Ding Mao sat down with kindness, "You are important, or Brother Ye, you are the most important."

Cao Ye smiled when he saw him, rolled up the script in his hand and threw it in front of him: "Go, idols are the most important thing, okay? Is there any chance for you to make money with the employer as your father?"

Before he finished speaking, the few people sitting around the table scattered in an instant, and all ran out to chase the stars.

Cheng Duan, who was standing by the door, was almost knocked over, he smiled and exited to make way for them. When the last person ran out, he stood back at the door again: "You are no more than two years older than them, big brother's style. It's quite full... can't it pass?"

"Go," Cao Ye held the mouse and called out the rough-cut clip on the computer, resting his chin in one hand, without turning his head, "Go back after reading this."

Cheng Duan couldn't move him, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, then I'll go over first."

"Do a good job of hospitality." Cao Ye said lazily.

In the studio, Zeng Ran brought all the main members of the crew and introduced them to Liang Sizhe one by one. Liang Sizhe has no pretence. When introducing everyone, he shakes hands and says "hello", showing a just right sense of distance in both his expression and his posture.

Cheng Duan walked over and thought that this scene was simply Liang Sizhe's fan meeting. The unkempt, rough guys from the crew have all washed their hair today, and they look really human-like.

But this is not difficult to understand, Liang Sizhe is an extreme existence in various circles. The entire film circle loves him, and most of the media circle hates him. Some audiences are obsessed with him to the death, while the rest of the audience don't understand the point of death or survival for those who are obsessed with him.

After Zeng Ran introduced the last person in the crew, Cheng Duan was about to come forward to introduce himself, but Liang Sizhe took the initiative to reach out to him: "Boss Cheng."

Cheng Duan was stunned for a while, and quickly reached out and held it, hurriedly picked up a word in his head to say hello, and said with a smile, "Hello Sizhe, I thought you wouldn't remember me, I was just thinking about how to introduce myself without embarrassment. "

"I saw it at the charity dinner last year, Lomon's vice president, if I remember correctly." Liang Sizhe looked at him and said. Now that we got close to the conversation, Cheng Duan felt that Liang Sizhe was quite different from the image that the media has always portrayed. In private, he didn't have that aggressive aura. It doesn't seem to make sense to get in with everyone.

"I'm not mistaken," Cheng Duan said with a smile, "it's just that the vice president is just a name, and his real identity is the director of Xuanfa."

Liang Sizhe seemed to think this statement was a bit new, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "So that's the case, then the president is just a name?"

"Haha, that's right," Cheng Duan joked, lowered his voice, and moved closer to him, "the president's true identity is actually the company's mascot."

Liang Sizhe laughed and said, "It's very appropriate."

"The real identity of the president is the company's mascot", this is actually not something Cheng Duan came up with temporarily. Cao Ye is young and always looks cynical, so the company that cooperates with Lomon for the first time will inevitably have questions - isn't this CEO really just pretending

In fact, the three bosses of Lomon have their own responsibilities. Cao Ye is in charge of investment, Ding Xin is in charge of production, and Cheng Duan is in charge of publicity. Although Cao Ye has a higher status within the company, he does not get involved very much For the things that happened, I almost let Cheng Duan take full responsibility for it. But when he was asked more times, Cheng Duan let it take its course and joked about Cao Ye. This joke was later known by Cao Ye, and he used it to laugh at himself in front of outsiders.

Cao Ye doesn't seem to care whether he is a waste in the eyes of outsiders, although Cheng Duan really thinks that he is quite powerful, otherwise he will not stay in Lomon and work for Cao Ye.

Liang Sizhe took the initiative to mention Cao Ye, and Cheng Duan had to explain for him: "Mr. Cao still has some investment matters to deal with in a hurry. I will come over in a while, and we will shoot first."

"Okay." Liang Sizhe replied simply without saying anything.

Speaking of which, the exit side also feels that this reason is not well found. The investor is usually the party that has the initiative. How can there be any really anxious things to be dealt with in this moment and a half? The more you think about this reason, the more clumsy you feel. Anyone who knows it will know that this is just an excuse for refusing to meet.

Liang Sizhe himself also invests in movies, will he hear that this is an excuse... Cheng Duan looked at Liang Sizhe who was sitting on the chair waiting for makeup, he could not see any emotional changes on his face, he could only comfort himself that Liang Sizhe didn't think too much .

The makeup artist came over with a toolbox to give Liang Sizhe make-up. Liang Sizhe looked down at the planning book for this makeup photo. There were a few amateurs dressed up as in the movie, showing various poses. He flipped through it quickly, then put the planning book on the table at hand.

Liang Sizhe's face has always been without too much makeup, but because his role in the film is an anti-social kidnapper and a hysterical villain, the shadow on his face is particularly important. In addition, the most important feature of the character is that there is a scar on the left side of the face, extending from the corner of the eye to the chin, which looks like a tear stain of weeping blood.

The make-up artist bent over to trace Liang Sizhe's left face meticulously. There was an episode of the movie in the studio, and the wild and flamboyant jazz music. The left hand on the armrest of the chair beats the rhythm gently with the rhythm of the song.

"Okay," the makeup artist withdrew his hands and put the tools back on the table, "Mr. Liang, open your eyes and take a look."

Liang Sizhe stopped the movement of his hands, opened his eyes and looked at the mirror in front of him, turning his left face slightly, "This scar is quite suitable for me." He smiled.
