CHAPTER XXVIII
As a star, gifts sent by fans from all over the world are naturally indispensable in daily life, and Song Yan is no exception.
Qihuang has a receiving department that is responsible for the parcels and mails of its artists, and there are also people on duty during the Chinese New Year.
It's just been a few days since I was free, and since the third day after Song Yan and Li Yan's video was uploaded, the staff suddenly received a large number of packages, and almost all of the recipients were Song Yan!
After being delivered to the door, Song Yan was also stunned, is it really?
Fans said that they were going to send her New Year's goods, but she just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously, who knew it would be true.
Sender's addresses are all over the country, and the contents are even more dazzling:
What candies and candied fruits are not unusual, but more are special New Year's goods, such as home-made rice cakes, bean buns, bacon, sausages, air-dried chicken, air-dried duck, and even a complete Jinhua ham!
It took most of the day to unpack the package alone, and in the end, Song Yan cried directly, crying while unpacking......
How can she be, how can she be!
took a few photos of the New Year's goods package that occupied most of the living room, and she went to talk and told fans not to send it anymore, she couldn't eat it.
Fans saw it, but they all said that it didn't matter, what they did was not worth much.
There are also many fans who simply played the game of "Find Your Sister", circled their packages in the photos, and said very proudly and proudly that this is mine!
The work of Qihuang's receiving department continues, and even has a tendency to intensify, mainly because of the different distances and the different times when the mail arrives.
The first batch of arrivals was mainly from within the province, and there were a small number of air shipments from outside the province, and later there were more places to send from Tiannan and Haibei, and many overseas parties sent chocolates, candies and pastries that could not be bought in China.
Song Yan didn't know what to say anymore, she personally recorded a video to thank everyone for their deep friendship, and sincerely said that she hoped everyone would not send it again.
This matter was hyped up on the Internet, and Lu Qingyun came back early on the fourth day.
As soon as Song Yan saw him, it was like seeing a savior, and he rushed over like a cannonball and grabbed his clothes and stammered, "Brother Lu, what, what should I do?!" β
It is said that there are still a lot of mail on the road that have not arrived, but now the living room is piled up and there are no people coming in!
There are so many things, enough for her to open a New Year's goods store.
Lu Qingyun was very calm, "Everyone cares about you, which proves that you are popular." β
Song Yan has been crying several times before and after, and he was moved.
"But will anyone take the opportunity to smear me and say that I am a money addict or something?"
"Are you really a public relations department for idle dinner?" Lu Qingyun didn't feel funny, "Otherwise, why would an artist sign a reliable brokerage company?" Isn't it just to block out distractions and concentrate on work? If you can't handle this little thing, just let them resign. β
It's just some food, what is it worth? Outside, there are many celebrities who receive luxury goods such as luxury cars, watches, and bags from fans.
Song Yan was slightly relieved, but he was still worried, "What about these things?" Li Yan's refrigerator was stuffed for me, and a few packets of rice cakes and bean bags just arrived yesterday, and there was hair growing outside. β
Lu Qingyun smiled and leaned back, laughing while pulling the New Year's goods with great interest, and also commenting, "Heh, you fans are really interested, look at how good this ham is, you can't buy it outside." Yo, and this lap-mei, you can't make this color in a few decades......"
Rao is Song Yanzheng was worried, and he didn't feel that he had gone astray when he heard this, "No, it tastes good, the day before yesterday, Sister Li helped make a big pot of bacon fried rice, it was so fragrant, we ate a whole pot!" β
Lu Qingyun smashed his mouth, and he felt a little greedy.
He thought for a while and said, "Sensei, keep your favorite food and those things that can be stored for a long time, and pack the rest into categories, and give away those that are suitable for you, and then give the rest to nursing homes, orphanages or whatever, all in the name of your fans." β
After finishing speaking, Lu Qingyun coughed a few times and scratched his head suspiciously, "What, what did you just say, bacon rice?" β
****************
Reunions are always short-lived, Chu Youyuan stayed at home until the tenth day, and finally it was time to have to leave.
Erxing Qianli's mother was worried that Qu Rui had been preparing things almost from the first day he went home, and on the day of separation, all kinds of large boxes and bags were piled up on the ground.
Chu Youyuan couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Mom, I'm just going back to work, what about you moving?" β
"You kid," Qu Rui patted him lightly, pointing to the things on the ground and explaining one by one, "These sea cucumbers, shark fins and abalone are all really natural, don't go out to buy them, we can rest assured." There are also these scallops, scallops and scallops, and the porridge is very good with the meal. Your work is also intrigued, so you usually eat more seafood to replenish your brain......"
Chu Youyuan nodded while listening, and finally smiled, "I can't finish eating so much." β
"If you can't finish eating, it's better than buying outside," Qu Rui said categorically, "It's better to go out than at home, and you can't suffer a loss if you are generous." β
"Listen to your mother," Chu Yunxiang also nodded in agreement, "The hands of people are short, the mouth of eating people is soft, and our family is not short of something, take it." β
Chu Youyuan didn't refute, but after glancing at it, he was helpless.
He bent down and pulled out a large box from the ground, opened it and looked at it, "Forget about eating, why am I a big man taking these?" β
In the box is the jewelry of its own company, either coral or pearl, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, finger rings, etc., and the design is very simple and atmospheric.
Chu Yunxiang didn't expect that there would be this in it, and he was a little dumbfounded, but he heard Qu Rui's embarrassed cough and hummed in a low voice, "This stupid child, take it to the girl!" β
Chu Youyuan's ears were hot, "Where is the girl, Mom, don't talk nonsense." β
Qu Rui smiled and sorted out his clothes for him, making a comforting gesture, "Don't be ashamed, there will be, there will be ......"
Chu Youyuan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and said in his heart, I'm really not in a hurry!
*************
The Chinese New Year has a profound meaning for every Chinese person, but this meaning varies from person to person.
Wanderers who are away may be looking forward to the end of the year from the beginning of the year, company employees may have already begun to calculate how many year-end bonuses they can get, and students are also looking forward to the winter vacation......
For actors, the meaning is even more extraordinary.
There is a job that is busy going around the field, taking advantage of the end of the year to catch the last money; If you don't have a job, you should also be busy with fitness and shaping to recharge in preparation for the next year.
And the most nervous and excited are the actors like Song Yan who have Chinese New Year movies released.
"Forced Marriage" will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the person in charge of the crew and several leading actors have been fidgeting since many days ago, and the dark circles under Yan's eyes are about to come out.
There have been a lot of Chinese New Year films in the past few years, including commercial films and literary films, but "Forced Marriage" has neither gorgeous and dazzling stunts, nor has a thunderous superstar to join, so it has to be said that it has not had an advantage from the beginning.
But this kind of low-budget film also has its advantages, that is, it is far more down-to-earth than the kind of commercial blockbusters that are loud, and it is more likely to resonate with people just like the original intention of shooting.
As a parent, who doesn't have a few children who marry later?
As a child, who hasn't been forced to marry by the seven aunts and eight aunts?
The dazzling blockbuster is really appealing, but the content and plot are similar year after year, and that's it. Besides, if you eat too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, don't you have to eat some porridge and side dishes to change the taste?
New Year's Day.
Song Yan basically didn't sleep all night last night, and finally when it was dawn, she was confused for a while and woke up by herself: she dreamed that the cumulative box office of "Forced Marriage" was only ten yuan! Then everyone blamed her, saying that she spoiled the pot of soup......
Although I know that it is a dream, I can't take it seriously, but this year is the first time that Song Yan has participated in the filming of a Chinese New Year film, and he is also one of the leading actors.
"it!"
Lu Qingyun took breakfast for her, and as soon as she pushed the door, she was startled by her ghost-like state.
Song Yan curled up on the sofa unkempt, holding a rose in his hand, tearing the petals for a while, and there were words in his mouth: "Go and see, don't look, go and see, don't ......"
After hearing what she muttered, Lu Qingyun was amused, "What kind of sealing/superstition/belief activities are you engaged in during the Chinese New Year?" β
He put breakfast on the table and patted her on the head, "It's still hot, hurry up and eat it." β
Song Yan Gaba turned his head to look at him, looked at the fragrant breakfast with a resentful face, and shook his head, "I can't eat it." β
She was so nervous that her stomach felt like a piece of lead had fallen, not to mention eating, she just wanted to vomit when she thought about the box office......
Lu Qingyun shook his head, opened another serving, and ate it first, "I've already arranged it, as long as the statistical results come out, I'll sue you." β
Not only Song Yan, but even Qi Huang's senior management is also very concerned about "Forced Marriage", because this year's company's artists only have such a New Year film released, and they are also a newcomer, which is definitely not ordinary.
Song Yan took a few deep breaths, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Qingyun about to open a soft white and tender bun, oh my mother, I really want to die, the soup is overflowing, and the fragrance is wafting for thousands of miles!
Lu Qingyun squinted his eyes, shook his head and chewed a few bites, and sighed sincerely, "It's so fragrant!" β
Song Yan: "...... Vomit~! β
Lu Qingyun: "......"
You don't want me to eat it, you say it!
stayed up until noon, Song Yan finally couldn't sit still, she jumped up from the sofa and piled clothes on herself in a hurry, "No, just wait for me to pass out, I have to go to the scene to see." β
If it goes on like this, it is estimated that Song Yan will jump off the building, and Lu Qingyun will not stop her, "I'll go with you, you wear more clothes and block your face." β
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, how many people are there, if she is not careful, she can be blocked in the cinema and can't get out.
Song Yan sighed, and rummaged through the cabinets to find the ticket sent by the crew not long ago, "What about my ticket, what about the ticket?" β
She is especially useless, her hands and feet are cold, her heart is pounding, and her eardrums are about to be shattered.
Finally found the ticket, she thought about it and went upstairs to slam the door, "Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan!" β
After five or six minutes, a confused voice came from inside, "Stop arguing, I'll sleep for a while." β
Song Yan took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Sleep, you're paralyzed!" Do I have a movie ticket here? β
Lu Qingyun, who followed closely, was no longer able to complain, and his own artists were already nervous, what else could he say?
In the end, Song Yan and Li Yan still dragged their agents, shared an RV in a very low-key manner, and sneaked into the movie theater......
"Forced Marriage" box office 33 million!
Looking at this not bad result, Song Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Qingyun was also overjoyed, "Not bad, not bad, quite good." β
is really good, "Forced Marriage", as a small-budget movie with neither special effects nor large scenes such as gunfights and explosions, can achieve such an achievement under the siege of a commercial blockbuster, which is really unexpected.
It's the first day!
Without waiting for Lu Qingyun's report, Xiao Jingyuan had already called in person to congratulate Song Yan, and said in a brisk tone that no matter what she wanted, as long as the company could do it, it would definitely try its best to meet it.
What can Song Yan ask for? After being humble for a while, he said that he would continue to work hard.
But Xiao Jingyuan definitely couldn't say nothing, and immediately asked the finance department to allocate a sum of money after hanging up the phone, and upgraded the RV that she had just driven for a few months again.
As a tool for artists to travel and an external faΓ§ade, the importance of RVs is self-evident. To put it bluntly, to judge an artist's status in the company, you can roughly know it by looking at the RV she sits.
Song Yan's RV before was only a mid-stream level, the safety was just that, and the comfort was really average......
the second day of the Lunar New Year, 41 million;
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, 61 million!
After three days, it broke 100 million!
The crowd in "Forced Marriage" suddenly changed from the big stone landing at the beginning to ecstasy, this, this is simply a dark horse! An absolute dark horse!
A group of people congratulated each other one after another, looking very jubilant.
's works are popular, and the most direct benefit is that the salary has soared, especially for those like Song Yan.
Since the release of "Forced Marriage", in just five days, her salary has snowballed, one day at a time, and she has officially gotten rid of the third-rate actor camp and gained a firm foothold in the second line.
After all the Chinese New Year films were released, film critics from all walks of life also began to be active, pinching or praising them, and they were very busy.
This year's Chinese New Year file is also full of good dramas and exciting, there are small-budget movies like "Forced Marriage" that counterattacked, and there are also those who claim to invest hundreds of millions, but after the release, they were scolded and suffered Waterloo, and there are also those who are decent, and the actual effect is no different from expectations.
Among them, the most scolded is undoubtedly the "Four Dimensions", which began to be hyped and boasted a whole year ago, claiming to be a milestone in the history of Chinese films.
The screenwriter and director of the ticket have declared from beginning to end that this is an unprecedented technology blockbuster, which contains profound connotations related to the future development of mankind......
As a result, on the day of the release, he was scolded for being bloody, and countless viewers rushed to the official talk to ask for a refund:
"Isn't this special disgusting?,What a bullshit tech blockbuster?,I think it's sci-fi?!"
"It's just such a five-cent special effects thing, and you're embarrassed to ask me for 90 yuan? During the movie, Lao Tzu was in pain, ninety yuan, it was better to go down and eat hot pot! β
"The exaggeration upstairs, what five cents, three cents, it can't be more!"
"What is the future of humanity in your family, I will never admit it!"
"What kind of actor is Ma Dan looking for, usually just hype, but the salary does not increase the acting skills, I am embarrassed to see that I am ...... cancer"
But in an interview, the director of the film still firmly claimed that this is the effect he wants, and the audience doesn't like it, they won't watch it, haven't they heard of the high and low music.
As soon as this kind of remark came out, the outside world laughed directly, and did you want to be embarrassed?
is "Forced Marriage", which is particularly eye-catching among the large-scale zuΓ² films, and has a bit of a sense of independence from the world.
Several well-known film critics wrote:
"After suffering from the annual movie theater poison, I am finally happy to discover a clear stream in the turbid world! "Forced Marriage", the name that sounds vulgar and unbearable actually brought me a huge surprise! β
"Seriously, if it weren't for the purpose and principle of being responsible to the people, I wouldn't have wanted to do it a long time ago, but this year's "Forced Marriage" undoubtedly made me burn my enthusiasm for work again!"
The content of the film is highly consistent with the theme, telling the story of the popular young woman in the workplace who is forced to marry by her family, which is very close to life, and the acting skills of several actors are also remarkable. Of course, the most surprising thing for me is the female No. 2 Song Yan, a young actor who has just officially debuted for less than a year, her acting skills are impressive, and in her, I see the future and hope of the Chinese film industry......"
For such a high evaluation, Song Yan said that he was flattered.
She is indeed very confident in her acting skills, but it is the first time that she has been placed in front of more than one billion viewers across the country in such an open and honest manner!
Her first reaction to this was not ecstasy, but fear.
The tree is a big wind!
She has received a 100% positive evaluation as a newcomer, and she is definitely a bright pigtail in the eyes of those who care!
In this regard, Qi Huang's public relations department once again brought her finesse, making her feel for the umpteenth time how important it is to have a reliable brokerage company.
Well, the Qihuang Public Relations Department hired a group of sailors, and praised Wang Linlin to ......
Emma is so boastful, what my goddess is really still as beautiful as ever, full of aura; What kind of goddess's acting skills are so good that Song Yan has a fever on his face when he sees it.
Sure enough, as soon as this formation came out, the keyboard warriors who were still grinding their fists and preparing to shoot at Song Yan stopped doing it, and immediately turned their guns and aimed at Wang Linlin:
"Have you spoken to your conscience? Wang Linlin's acting skills are embarrassed to say! β
"Beautiful fart, the sequelae of plastic surgery are about to come out, take a look, you can see from this angle, her nose in her early years is starting to be crooked!"
"What kind of acting school, aren't you tired after hanging this guise for so many years? If it's really an acting school, why can't you see her get a movie? β
"It's too much upstairs, what kind of actress, let's let her get a nomination first!"
Originally, "Forced Marriage" was a big hit, Wang Linlin was still proud, and she swiped comments on the Internet every day, but she didn't jump out of the screen and blackened herself, and it exploded on the spot.
Her agent was also stunned at first glance, and she couldn't care about the original strategy, so she quickly contacted the company, and the company activated the public relations team to put out fires everywhere and turn the situation around.
But Qi Huang expected it when he started, so he didn't do anything to slander Wang Linlin, just praise, pure praise, desperate praise, really praise his own artists have never worked so hard.
Then netizens who were easily incited began to fry cold rice, specifically targeting Wang Linlin's old problems in the past: acting skills and plastic surgery, even if Wang Linlin wanted to refute it, she couldn't start.
And in the later stage, the group of sailors hired by Qi Huang had already retired, and now the active people on the Internet are completely real netizens......
Seeing that Wang Linlin was besieged, Song Yan also felt a little uneasy about her conscience, Lu Qingyun saw her concerns, and asked with a smile, "Soft-hearted?" β
Song Yan was silent for a moment, and smiled with a complicated mood, "I can't say that I am soft-hearted, I just feel a little guilty." β
Lu Qingyun chuckled, "In this society, if you want to eat well in the entertainment industry, you can't be too kind." Besides, we are not slandering or slandering, is it wrong to praise people? It's not been a day or two since Wang Linlin was hacked, in the end, which star hasn't been hacked? For the Chinese New Year, she can be regarded as free hype. β
Song Yan shook his head with a smile, "This hype ......"
"This kind of hype can't be grabbed by anyone," Lu Qingyun immediately said, seeing the education of stitches and needles, "Don't believe it, how many people can't be popular if they want to be popular, and they are in a hurry, who cares about black and white, let's talk about it first." As long as you are popular, you will be able to whitewash yourself one day, but if you are obscure for a lifetime, it is better to die. β
His words were too sharp and to the point, Song Yan rarely didn't answer, and stared down at the pale green tea on the table, looking thoughtful.
Lu Qingyun pinched a pecan and peeled it to eat, and said casually, "As far as the matter is concerned, the cost of "Forced Marriage" is small, and there are no big names, the most topical Su Ya has already withdrawn, and the rest of the hype is not you and Wang Linlin?" She debuted earlier than you, and her fan base is wider than yours, no matter what aspect you look at, she has an advantage, think about it yourself, once it gets into trouble, do you have a way to live? β
"Wang Linlin is not a good stubble, she is ambitious, and it is not once or twice that she has stepped on people. This time we are preemptively winning, break it and say, no need to exaggerate, as long as it is a day late, or even a few hours, the fire can burn on you, believe it or not? β
Song Yan was silent for a long time after hearing this, and nodded, "I believe it." β
She is not the kind of stupid sweet white, and she can naturally understand the benefits and losses.
Let's take the previous movie review as an example, at first glance she won a big victory, but you can think about it carefully.
It is said that there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, and she is not a golden doll that everyone loves, how can she have a positive evaluation, a few film critics are almost going to praise her to the sky, I am afraid that a sister of any company may not be able to have this treatment.
Kill!
One of the tried and tested tricks in the entertainment industry.
There are so many people, with such a large market share, with you without me, with me without her, there is such a swarm of praise for Song Yan outside, and other companies and artists will definitely not be happy when they see it.
Honest and dutiful at most muttering behind their backs, but those who don't care about it can toss something out of you if they can't keep it.
Thinking deeper, is there really no Wang Linlin's promotion in this situation? Will she really be so kind and generous as to watch people all over the world praise Song Yan and watch her get thriving?
As early as the day of the emergence of this one-sided public opinion, the public relations department of Qihuang had already guessed that Wang Linlin's contribution was absolutely indispensable!
So here's the question:
Do you want to kill yourself, or do you want to kill someone else?
The entertainment industry is very cruel, very cruel, it doesn't mean that if you don't offend others, others will let you sit in a big place without the well water.
There is nothing wrong with kindness, but it also scores the occasion and the object. In the entertainment industry, stupidly waiting for someone to stab you and then suddenly come to your senses?
It's late.
When you enter the entertainment industry, you have to desperately find a way to be popular, but being red is like being roasted on a fire, like dancing on the tip of a knife, walking on a cliff, and if you are not careful, you will never recover.
But even so, everyone is happy!
Seeing Song Yan's long silence, Lu Qingyun waited quietly and did not speak.
Since you have chosen this path, there are some things that you will have to endure sooner or later......
