Chapter 301: Famous
After Xiao Gao saw Chen Shi, he briefly talked about the company's affairs, Chen Shi focused on asking him about the specific situation of TV series and movies, and Chen Shi did not ask again after his detailed introduction.
Xiao Gao asked about the company's future development, and Chen Shi said that he should recruit more talents, sign more artists, and give priority to his own artists in TV series or movies he shoots.
After hearing this, Xiao Gao immediately said excitedly: "In this way, we will set up a brokerage department and recruit some brokers, otherwise we will not be able to keep busy."
Chen Shi doesn't know much about this, let him watch it, anyway, he won't spot check every day, even if he comes to see it every day, he doesn't understand it very well, therefore, Xiao Gao is very free, he can run how he wants, of course, he has to plan in advance, or he will not lose money, otherwise, when the company is really empty, he will not only lose his job, but also close the door to his dreams.
For Xiao Gao, he is very relieved.
Before leaving, he asked Xiao Gao to prepare for participating in the film festival, and inform him when the time comes, no matter how he says that he is also going to Cannes, even if he can't be shortlisted for Cannes, other film festivals also need him to come forward, no matter what, he is named director, so he has to come forward.
Xiao Gao sent the two of them downstairs and watched them drive away before returning to the company.
For a period of time in the future, Chen Shi basically has nothing to do, so he drives around every day, sometimes going to school to pick up his younger siblings, sometimes going to the vegetable market to visit his parents, sometimes going to the film company to find Li Yalian to relieve boredom, of course, it is indispensable to find other people, rats, Taozi and so on.
Unknowingly, he has been messing around at home for several months, and on this day, he finally got a news that Tianya Mingyue Knife was really shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, but it was not in competition.
This news can be said to make him overjoyed, he was ready to participate in other first-class film festivals, but what he didn't expect was that Cannes would be so face-saving and let them be shortlisted.
By this time, the news had spread throughout the entertainment world. Before, Tianya Mingyue Knife did not have any publicity, even if it was turned on, no reporter came, only people in the industry occasionally heard of such a thing, but no one took it seriously, just a person who didn't know how to speculate casually, but now, Cannes has been shortlisted, which really surprised people.
Therefore, the media is looking for all kinds of news to report every day, and they began to start with Chen Shi and Li Yalian, but the media is not omnipotent, they haven't found any news about the two of them in a short time, so they have to find the leading actors to report.
As a result, the main actors of this movie suddenly became popular, originally, they were just nobodies, although they were a little famous, but that was only a few directors or producers knew that for the public, these actors were only a niche after all, and it was absolutely impossible for them to enjoy the treatment of the headlines.
But now, it is reported every day, and everyone is annoyed by it, so it's strange not to know.
Chen Shi doesn't care about the media reports, there are media reports, it means that their strategy is successful, the influence of a Cannes is far more effective than tens of millions of advertising dollars, even if, in the end, the film does not have any awards, just to accompany the run, but after this period of reporting, he believes that it will achieve good results in the market, and it is definitely not difficult to return to the capital.
At this point, Chen Shi's heart has been put down, and he is afraid that after this movie loses money, it will hit Li Yalian's confidence, so that she will not dare to make easy moves in the future, so that his loss is not just a loss.
Of course, Li Yalian also got the news, she can be regarded as happy, her name is far brighter than any star during this time, but the media can't find the two of them, everyone just hears about them, and doesn't see them.
Just when the two of them were happy, Zhai Feng called, Chen Shi estimated that the media should have checked the news of the two of them through Zhai Feng, and as soon as he answered, it was so.
Zhai Feng said: "Boss, many people are looking for you, people have found me, bid 10,000 yuan, as long as your contact number, do you say I will give it or not?"
When Chen Shi heard this, he immediately laughed and scolded: "You betrayed me for 10,000 yuan? Your news is too worthless, right? You have to extort at least hundreds of thousands." ”
Zhai Feng said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll give you your phone to others, don't blame me when the time comes, people call you every day, which makes you annoyed, don't trouble me when the time comes." ”
Chen Shi joked: "It's okay, I'll change the phone number after you get the money, when he calls, it's definitely an empty number, and then he will only trouble you, won't look for me, and won't find me." ”
The two jokingly talked for a while, and finally Chen Shi carefully asked what was going on, Zhai Feng briefly introduced, saying that several media had found him and asked him to help check Chen Shi's information, no matter what the information was.
After Chen Shi heard this, he immediately instructed Zhai Feng not to leak it, he didn't want to live a life of being chased by the media all day long, he was a person who came from the era of self-media, and he could be regarded as understanding that if a star was chased by the media every day, it would not be easy.
Just when he was reborn, there was also a famous director who was chased by the media, and finally there was a physical altercation, and there was a big trouble, and so-and-so star was filmed cheating, and so-and-so star was followed for months, etc., and so on, and so on.
If a person is chased every day, followed every day, and every day of his life is photographed and bought into a newspaper, then this day is impossible to live.
Chen Shi is an ordinary person, although he is not ordinary now, but deep down in his heart he is still the same little person as before, and he doesn't want to be picked up by the media.
Zhai Feng listened to Chen Shi's instructions and said: "Don't worry! Without my permission, they will never find out your news, at most they know a little bit of skin, and they will never let them find your residence, nor will they let them harass you, so you can rest assured." ”
Chen Shi said gratefully: "In this way, it will ruin your business, you are fine!"
Zhai Feng nodded affirmatively and said that there was no problem.
Now, Zhai Feng has a team under him, just like Zhuo when Chen Shi was reborn, it is completely a tracking and shooting, and it is a team that reports on the private lives of celebrities, and it is also a bit famous in the industry, but because the things he reports are true, he never brags, never hype, and he never has a "suspicious maybe" word about the news he gives to others, it is all in a positive tone, and there is evidence to prove it, so even if the star hates him very much, there is no way to deal with him.
Don't talk about him, even if it is the Zhuo someone in the later generations, he hypes all day long, as long as he takes a slightly ambiguous photo, he can hype people to cheat, but the entertainment industry still has no way to take him, and many people even broke the fortune and bought the photos back from him, which made Zhuo cause a lot of trouble.
The difference between Zhai Feng's current approach and Zhuo is that Zhai Feng is low-key, although he has a bit of fame, but he is limited to newspaper insiders and a few celebrities, and other people don't know about him as a person, or even about the existence of his team.
Of course, Zhai Feng has filmed a lot of topics and topics, from simple social issues to gossip in the entertainment industry, of course, what he reports is based on facts, and he will never make things up, and he will never spread rumors or lie.
Make a fortune in a low-key manner and work hard. This is Zhai Feng's principle, and of course it is also Chen Shi's request.
Chen Shi is a latecomer, of course he knows what it will be like if a person is hated by the public. For example, Zhuo someone, in later generations, there are many viewers who hate him very much, one type of people are fans of those stars, because Zhuo is a celebrity idol who follows them every day, and another type of person is of course a bystander, this kind of person thinks that Zhuo is overhyped, and there is nothing fierce in the first place, but it is just stiff, and some miscellaneous things are put together to confuse the public, which has caused a very big impact.
The so-called freedom of speech is that you have the freedom to lie and deceive people, in Chen Shi's view, many people under the guise of freedom of speech are people who lie all day long and hype all day long.
After making the call, Li Yalian asked Chen Shi what was going on, Chen Shi said it simply, and then Li Yalian said anxiously: "What should I do, if the media finds me and wants to interview me, what should I do?"
Chen Shi laughed and said, "When people interview you, you answer, what's the big deal?"
Li Yalian said: "I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing, and when the time comes, the media will understand indiscriminately, deliberately exaggerate the facts, and damage our reputation, so how can it be good?"
Li Yalian was able to think of this, which really made Chen Shi not expect it, he had to look up at her and said: "Then don't say anything, they will never force you to put it? If they surround you and don't let you go, you will give them freedom of speech." ”
Li Yalian was stunned for a moment, didn't know why, and asked: "What kind of freedom of speech? They are the media, so they should say this." ”
Chen Shi said: "When the time comes, you will say, you have freedom of speech, I have the freedom to remain silent, even prisoners have such freedom, what else do you think they can say?"
Li Yalian thought about it and nodded slowly.
Chen Shi and her were just talking, what they didn't expect was that the media really found them, but what they didn't expect was that what they just said today was actually said by Li Yalian.
That day, Chen Shi and Li Yalian were not together, and the media didn't know what news they used to find and block Li Yalian, so a conversation began.
