Chapter 55

~9 min read 1,634 words

Being able to go on the Spring Festival Gala

is a huge exposure and a symbol of status for any star.

But the Spring Festival Gala in recent years has become increasingly rotten,

almost like a chicken rib.

Su Chen will definitely go on the Spring Festival Gala in the future,

but he doesn't have much interest this year.

Su Chen's popularity is not limited to outside the circle;

he is being crazily scrambled for within the circle.

Other "little fresh meat" only have a strong ability to cut leeks

and have no other skills.

Su Chen is different.

He can write songs and scripts,

and they are top-tier good songs and top-tier scripts!

This is very terrifying.

When all is said and done,

the foundation of the vast entertainment industry is good songs and good scripts.

Without good songs,

the Chinese music scene, relying only on a group of traffic-driven singers, will collapse sooner or later.

Without good scripts, there will naturally be no good actors,

and the film and television industry will also completely decline.

Therefore, all operations in the entertainment industry

revolve around these works.

Outside, Su Chen has super high popularity, heat, and traffic.

Within the circle, Su Chen can create good works.

Naturally, he can play both sides,

becoming a hot commodity in the eyes of countless people!

During this period, *Blossoms Shanghai* is undergoing intensive production.

The original plan was to complete production and review around the 15th of the twelfth lunar month,

and then schedule it to air on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

As a result, Su Chen was not around,

and Wong Kar-wai couldn't get motivated and started being a salted fish again.

It dragged on until the 25th of the twelfth lunar month before they got the distribution license.

So the promotional cycle was compressed,

only promoting for about a week.

It will air on CCTV's prime time on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

This show has an all-star lineup from the director to the actors,

and with the big platform of CCTV as a backing,

there is absolutely no need to waste too much time on promotion.

………

It's the end of the year.

The entire Imperial City is hung with big red lanterns, full of joy.

Su Chen's villa is equally lively.

Yang Mi, Sister Reba, Tang Yan, Xin Xin Zhilei...

The Su family goddess group is all here!

They are all top-tier female stars, and their schedules are too busy.

Even during holidays like May Day or National Day, they might be busy.

Only during the Lunar New Year is it possible for them to be free collectively.

Because *Blossoms Shanghai* is about to air,

it is currently in the promotional stage,

so Su Chen can only stay at home for two days.

Then he will have to take Tang Yan and Xin Xin Zhilei to run promotions with Wong Kar-wai and other main crew members.

They also have to shoot various promotional videos,

participate in talk shows, and even live streams.

This is also one of the reasons why Su Chen refused the Spring Festival Gala.

He's too busy!

He will definitely have to spend this New Year with the crew.

Yang Mi has to go home to accompany her parents,

and Sister Reba also has to travel far to her hometown in Xinjiang.

Fortunately, with Tang Yan and the other one accompanying him, it's not too lonely.

In the living room,

Su Chen's hands were a bit itchy.

"I want to write a few couplets, can you help me get the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone?"

"They're in the study."

Yang Mi widened her beautiful eyes.

"Really? You also know calligraphy?"

Su Chen smiled faintly: "In the entertainment industry, who doesn't want to appear cultured?"

"I guess I know a little bit."

Don't look at how glamorous the stars in the entertainment industry are;

in fact, this group has a very, very low overall cultural level.

It might only be a little higher than migrant workers.

Of course, this is not belittling the migrant worker group.

It's just saying that the vast majority of entertainment stars have not received higher education.

Many are from grassroots backgrounds.

Even those who are professionally trained

went to art schools,

and their cultural scores were really not high.

Not to mention those who rely on resources;

their degrees were all bought with money from home and are worthless.

The more people lack something, the more they want to make up for it.

Stars have money,

and if they feel their appearance is lacking, they get plastic surgery!

If their figure is not good, they get breast and butt enhancements.

Those with low cultural levels

naturally also want to work hard to create a cultured persona for themselves.

For example, the "King of Pretending," Jin Dadong.

He often pretends to be artistic on Weibo,

loves to write poems, and uses traditional characters.

But a "Nobel Prize in Mathematics" exposed his true colors.

Many stars in the entertainment industry,

including those traffic-driven "little fresh meat,"

have special calligraphy teachers to train them in brush calligraphy.

But the level...

is hard to describe!

Yang Mi brought the red paper and laid it flat on the table,

pressing down on both sides with something.

Sister Reba helped him grind the ink very diligently.

Tang Yan wasn't idle either,

pretending to help Su Chen pound his back.

Several sisters were like concubines,

giving Su Chen imperial treatment!

Su Chen stretched his muscles and nodded with satisfaction.

"Whichever sister is more diligent, I'll flip her sign tonight."

Xin Xin Zhilei was suddenly panicked.

"There's someone laying the paper, someone grinding the ink, someone pounding the back, what else can I do?"

"How about I hunch my back and be a stool for you?"

Su Chen burst out laughing. ......

"With your physique, being a cushion for me,"

"a fracture would be the least of it! It's the New Year, do you want to go to the hospital?"

Xin Xin Zhilei said resentfully: "Then you have to guarantee you'll flip my sign! Otherwise, I won't spare you."

Yang Mi interjected.

"That's enough! You and Tang Tang are about to go run promotions with Su Chen."

"There's plenty of time to be stuck together. You got the benefit and are still acting spoiled? Greedy!"

Three women make a play.

Now Su Chen has four women around him.

Even if they get along well

and won't scheme against each other or fight,

chattering is inevitable.

For a moment,

Su Chen felt he had the potential to become the gold-medal mediator of the entertainment industry.

Those top goddesses,

no matter what grudges they have,

as long as Su Chen gets them all,

with Su Chen as the bridge,

they become like-minded people, sisters of the same family.

Any grudges should be put aside.

Su Chen picked up the brush, dipped it in ink,

and began to write with dragon-and-snake-like strokes.

His calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, penetrating the paper, and extremely aesthetic.

Even if the four women knew nothing about calligraphy,

they could see how profound Su Chen's attainments were.

Yang Mi frowned, looking puzzled.

"How is this possible! Su Chen, how old are you?"

"Your acting is better than veteran actors, and your singing is so great."

"You can write good scripts and good songs! Even your calligraphy is so strong..."

"Even if your talent is high, it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right?"

"Da Vinci would cry if he saw this."

Su Chen chuckled: "I'm in my 20s."

Yang Mi said speechlessly: "Of course I know you're in your 20s, do I need you to remind me?"

Su Chen raised his volume: "I'm not talking about age!"

Pfft!

Yang Mi vomited blood on the spot.

"That... I know that too! It really is in the 20s."

"Fine, I admit you have talent..."

When Su Chen mentioned this,

Yang Mi really couldn't refute it.

Su Chen is big, Su Chen has the final say!

Who let Su Chen be the "Wheel-Turning King," the contemporary Lao Ai?

With this kind of talent,

there was no need to doubt his other talents.

At night,

it was a bit tiring,

and the consumption was a bit high.

However, Su Chen experienced what is called the peak of a man!

This villa drawn from the system is good in every way.

There is only one drawback:

the bed is too small!

He must find time to order a super-large bed that can accommodate more than ten people.

This is an absolute rigid demand!

Otherwise, when everyone is gathered,

someone will have to sleep in another room or on the floor.

That would be too much of a mood killer!

After only two days of happiness,

Su Chen took Tang Yan and Xin Xin Zhilei to find the *Blossoms Shanghai* crew.

Together with Wong Kar-wai and other main creators,

they started busy promotions!

This world lacks entertainment.

0.6 A film or TV show, from project initiation to final scheduling and promotion,

has high efficiency in every link.

In the previous life, film and TV shows were strictly controlled.

Many shows couldn't be aired for 5 or 10 years.

They weren't even given the chance to be put online.

But the film and TV shows in this world,

as long as there are no major directional problems,

can pass the review in as fast as two or three days,

or a week at the slowest.

Because there are few good works, and works are even scarcer,

the competition is very small.

Naturally, there is no need for too much promotion.

In the previous life, those heavy-duty big-budget film and TV shows

would spend hundreds of millions just on promotion, which was very shocking!
