Main Character:
Shen Yao
"Mom"
Jiang Cheng's childhood name is Qiqqi; now three years old, he is exactly at the age to start kindergarten.
Upon waking up he was somewhat tearful, holding Shen Yao's hand with great displeasure.
"Regardless, school cannot be skipped," even if he cries and makes a scene he cannot refuse school and become illiterate; besides, this is not a big deal, and throwing a tantrum cannot be done this way.
Jiang Cheng:...
Jiang Cheng called out "Mom" again in a wronged manner, his eyes brimming with tears; if seen by those unaware of the inside information, they would surely agree to let Jiang Cheng do as he pleased without hesitation, but Shen Yao knows Jiang Cheng's true nature best, and no matter what she will not nod in agreement.
"Dad"
Jiang Cheng turned to plead with Jiang Han Zhou, not expecting this man, usually a kind father, to also be a ruthless person with a heart as hard as iron; since even his own wife disagrees, how could he alone offend his wife for the sake of his daughter?
"Qiqqi, everything else is fine, but you cannot skip school; besides, this matter is your own fault."
Children fighting and playing roughly is not a big deal, but Jiang Cheng may never have suffered any grievance since childhood; in her view, the unintentional actions of the children at school are a problem, after all, she is still young.
The words on the tip of her tongue had to be paused; Jiang Cheng hummed in a wronged manner, and his expression changed instantly.
Seeing this, Jiang Han Zhou raised his eyebrows and pointed at the little person who had already turned his backside toward him, telling his wife, "Who did he learn that from?"
Back and forth, it really seems like something; very suitable for mixing in the entertainment industry, the face-changing two-faced faction is handled perfectly.
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao raised her hand and lightly patted Jiang Han Zhou's shoulder, telling him not to say everything out loud; Jiang Cheng is young and needs proper guidance, and they are both usually too busy; dragging this on any longer is not good.
"In the future, reduce work matters and spend more time with this child Qiqqi."
Jiang Han Zhou felt it was necessary for him and his wife to sacrifice a bit for the child; otherwise, with so much business at home and so much money earned, what if Jiang Cheng cannot guard it and squanders it?
Isn't it said that raising a son for a hundred years brings ninety-nine worries; right now, Jiang Han Zhou and his wife have this kind of posture; they are not afraid that Jiang Cheng can spend money, they are afraid that Jiang Cheng spends faster than he earns, and even more afraid that Jiang Cheng cannot compete with certain people and is cheated out of his entire capital; these are all lessons with precedents.
"Alright, when the time comes we will take turns going out, and we also need to explain things to the parents' side;" especially Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua as a couple, their doting on Jiang Cheng cannot be summarized by a single word of favor; Jiang's parents might still have some principles, but Shen Qingshan and his wife do not have the concept of principles at all; whatever Jiang Cheng wants, give it to him, they wish they could pick the stars and moon from the sky and hang them before Jiang Cheng's bed.
Jiang Han Zhou nodded with an "en," silently expressing his inability to help regarding his daughter's upcoming life encounters.
At this time, the little radish head Jiang Cheng did not yet know that not only could he not skip school, but he would also receive all-around, no-dead-angle discipline from his parents.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng's outward appearance and inner self are consistent in knowledge and action, without so many petty thoughts.
After finishing breakfast at home, Jiang Cheng once again recovered his happy appearance, put on his chubby penguin schoolbag, and went to school to study with a thumping sound.
Because he is not yet of school age, Jiang Cheng can currently only attend a private kindergarten.
The teachers here were also worried whether Jiang Cheng would come; upon seeing Shen Yao holding Jiang Cheng's hand appear, they all secretly sighed in relief in their hearts, sigh, it seems yesterday's little disturbance has passed.
The past is the past; as a birth mother, Shen Yao had to make up for her own child.
Fortunately, the reason they chose this private kindergarten is that children of people in the circle often study here; coming into contact from a young age is beneficial for future interaction.
After waving to Jiang Cheng and instructing the kindergarten teachers to pay more attention to the child if there's nothing else, Shen Yao turned around and headed to the company, where a pile of projects awaited her to initiate and start work.
Time really flies; Jiang Cheng is already three years old; the short drama track Shen Yao previously rooted in has become crowded, and the people inside have started to compete fiercely like long dramas; but fortunately, short dramas have not yet reached depletion; as long as they are filmed seriously, there is still money to be made.
"General Manager Shen, this is the company's report from last month; inside are several projects developed by General Manager Jiang;" unexpectedly, these projects need to be selected or discarded; although opening all is feasible, at this time it is precisely the film and television winter, and funds may be insufficient to support them.
You should know that several companies in the circle have already suffered broken capital chains because of this, and finally had to be dragged to bankruptcy by projects.
Not only was the money originally earned lost, but they also had to carry extra debt and repay it.
The originally glamorous star actors competed even more fiercely than before; the projects Shen Yao could produce were overall still quite good, always being high-quality good cakes in the circle.
Speaking of the few projects to be opened, who knows how many star actors contacted them; even if they lowered their price to act, they would agree.
Rustle rustle—
Flipping through the documents in her hand, Shen Yao quickly browsed a circle, then directly circled certain projects in red.
"The red ones are temporarily postponed; the others proceed normally with project initiation."
After speaking, Shen Yao couldn't help but raise her hand and lean back, sighing that nowadays everything is filmed in the circle, and she doesn't know where they will have to compete fiercely in a few more years.
Nowadays, money in the entertainment industry is getting harder and harder to earn; whether TV dramas or movies, using the same old perfunctory methods as before simply doesn't work; audiences don't buy it; even if fans jump high, what use is it, because box office and ratings are absolutely not bought; don't look at how dazzling the data is, actually they are all used to perfunctorily deceive outsiders.
Previously, some star actors would use these data to find endorsements and mix in the luxury circle; nowadays, endorsements and the luxury circle are not stupid either; whether it is real gold and silver strength can be distinguished at a glance; everyone knows it's pretentious.
The assistant put away the documents Shen Yao had processed, turned around, and left the office.
In the empty office, besides Shen Yao there were no outsiders; with the sound of a phone call, Shen Yao's wandering thoughts were brought back.
"Hello"
"General Manager Shen"
"Director Wang"
"..."
Shen Yao hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and decided to stop Director Wang's project; human feelings are human feelings, making money is making money.
That project is somewhat complex, and Director Wang himself absolutely cannot suppress that group of troublemaking demons, monsters, ghosts, and spirits in the crew; just right, the company doesn't lack money-making projects; stopping it can both let Director Wang breathe easy and let the company catch its breath.
'However, if this project stops, Zhou You will surely be overjoyed.'
No one is competing with Zhou You anymore; after all, Director Wang is filming the prequel to "Speeding Forward"; the previous sequel had a strong response, and it also made Zhou You, who was wholeheartedly earning money to pay off debts, have ideas.
Indeed, when people are pushed to a certain extent, they absolutely won't care about bottom lines and principles; Zhou You is in such a state right now, grabbing every opportunity just to make money.
Zhou You previously promised not to touch it, but now he is making his own words nonexistent.
The system thought about this and became somewhat angry; it really is that Zhou You is shameless!
Ahhhhhhh!
How can this person still make money from movies? Heaven is truly unfair!
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao couldn't help but tell the system to calm down; excessive noise wouldn't bring any benefits, and would instead land them in trouble.
"If Zhou You wants to film a prequel, let him film it; we're not fighting over a moment's anger." Shen Yao didn't want to lock horns with Zhou You on this, and the reason had a little something to do with the sequel to "Speed Forward" from before.
After all, different directors' filming methods result in vastly different final effects.
Under the new director's operation, the "Speed Forward" sequel sparked controversy upon release, but compared to the real gold and silver earned, the controversy was clearly not taken seriously by capital.
Now Zhou You wants to continue consuming reputation and capability to film a prequel; Shen Yao can already imagine the various verbal attacks after the movie releases. Hmph, let Zhou You bear it himself; Director Wang's small frame can't withstand it.
Moreover, Director Wang himself isn't willing to take on such a mess; wolves ahead, tigers behind. If it weren't for years of cooperation with Shen Yao making it hard to refuse, Director Wang would really want to claim physical illness and need a good rest.
But for now, listening to President Shen's arrangement, he can shake off the trouble without even needing to rest.
Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, patted his cheeks, turned and disappeared from the crew.
As for arrangements after the crew temporarily halts filming, that's the company's business, and has nothing to do with her, a hired director.
Shen Yao's daily routine is going to work to handle work, getting off work to pick up her precious daughter from kindergarten.
Jiang Cheng is, after all, Jiang Han Zhou and Shen Yao's child; he consumed no few pills when young, his physical foundation and IQ foundation are laid out there, it's fundamentally impossible for him to be inadequate.
With Jiang Han Zhou's return, Shen Yao and he exchanged information, and finally Shen Yao took a plane to other cities, leaving Jiang Han Zhou to guard the base camp and take care of the child.
"President Shen"
"Director Zheng"
The one Shen Yao met was a director from Blueberry TV, also someone who came out of "Actor Starlight Road" back then, currently planning a reality show.
The main focus is internet livestreaming and real reactions; it's been preheating online for a while. Inviting Shen Yao over is also because both sides have a connection from "Actor Starlight Road," and continued cooperation has more benefits than drawbacks.
Blueberry TV is very optimistic about Shen Yao's capability; after all, just one variety show can let the platform eat well for a long time. If this livestream reality show can take off now, Blueberry TV's people don't even dare imagine how high-profile they could be.
"The current idea is still to concentrate efforts mainly on livestreaming and reality.
The celebrity actors invited this time are all traffic or big names, and they've agreed to cooperate."
Of course, if they don't cooperate, Blueberry TV isn't afraid either; it's a livestream anyway, if they accidentally expose something, it has nothing to do with Blueberry TV.
Shen Yao mainly keeps an eye on Director Zheng regarding safety, especially the response to sudden accidents. These traffic stars and actors all have fans; extreme fan operations cannot be ruled out. Although livestreaming is a gimmick, a gimmick that can't be controlled is a dead end.
It's not that there haven't been accidents during show recordings; it's just that most were suppressed. Livestreaming doesn't have this ability; once a bit of content leaks, it hits the hot search.
Director Zheng is also worried about this; he's already discussed with the team in advance: not doing dangerous segments, not going to dangerous places.
Although doing so indeed has the possibility of lowering difficulty and making the show boring, Director Zheng truly worries about the consequences of the whole show having an accident.
After all, Blueberry TV is a satellite platform; it not only has the function of broadcasting various films and TV, but also needs to spread some positive influence outward.
Blueberry TV's leaders may eat traffic, but they're more worried about their positions not being secure.
One "Actor Starlight Road" has already helped Blueberry TV eat a lot of traffic; Blueberry TV's leaders are very satisfied. Launching a new variety show now is more about expanding this traffic pool; at worst it maintains the status quo. As for making it big and strong and creating brilliance together? That can come slowly.
"President Shen, rest assured, I understand. The whole show's production doesn't have to produce gimmick highlights; as long as livestreaming and reality these two points are there, ratings absolutely won't hit rock bottom."
Not hitting rock bottom counts as completing half this variety show; the other half depends on these traffic stars and actors' performance in front of the camera. After all, the production team doesn't truly like stirring trouble; these traffic stars and actors were invited with considerable salaries. The production team wants a win-win more, so future platform cooperation can also be negotiated.
The jianghu isn't about fighting and killing; it's about human relations and worldly wisdom, about giving each other face.
Shen Yao chatted with Director Zheng very late that day, then returned to the hotel to rest. Early the next morning, she washed her face and rushed to the variety crew to continue communicating.
These variety shows all have scripts; general requirements are communicated with the artists in advance; the rest depends on the effects the artists themselves perform.
Because it's full livestream, Blueberry TV cooperates with Tao Tao Video; the livestream plays non-stop on Tao Tao Video, and edited clips are then released through Blueberry TV.
Because there's a time limit between raw footage and finished product, this also aroused many viewers' curiosity.
They really want to know how exactly a variety episode is edited out. Now Blueberry TV is innovating and reforming for the first time, just right to let them see for themselves.
Carrying this and that curiosity, as Blueberry TV's variety livestream began, viewers couldn't help but choose to immerse themselves.
Of course, the most viewers among them are definitely these artists' fans.
They come not only to support the scene, but also to educate some haters or genuine viewers about their own artists' strengths, to prevent rival fans from fishing in troubled waters and deliberately disrupting the livestream's bullet-screen environment.
Shen Yao also sits in the hotel watching these livestreams; because many artists were invited this time, to facilitate checking all livestream rooms, Shen Yao used all her electronic devices and even bought two extra small computers.
The entire hotel living room's coffee table is filled with various playback devices; Shen Yao sits on the sofa watching, occasionally urging the system to help.
System:...
The system doesn't understand: clearly she could go to the variety crew to watch, why insist on staying in the hotel?
"There are many people there; moreover the director is very busy. I'm not a nobody; the director can't possibly ignore me. Shen Yao doesn't like making a big show of adding to the chaos."
System:... Fine then
Anyway, whatever the host says it does. Besides, it's just monitoring these livestreaming stars and actors; don't look at the livestream flying the "real" gimmick, actually these people have quite a few people around them, no matter how real there's always disguise.
