Chapter 64: The Man Who Protected
For entertainment journalism, the word "truth" has become extremely humble, not that it cannot be known, but that it does not need to be known. Participants and spectators just need to entertain themselves in the event of public opinion, and don't mind whether they are fools or not.
It seems that for high-paid people who earn tens of millions of dollars at every turn, entertainers, being rumored is the same as being watched, which is the price that high income must bear and is part of the content of the job. It's just that people clamoring on the Internet may ignore that "truth-seeking" and "human rights" are not about careers, but about people's birthright.
The video revelations are just the beginning, after the "relationship" broke out, a large number of marketing accounts began to follow up with wave after wave: "Insiders said that Sijing Liumanna had fallen in love as early as when they cooperated in "Troubled Times", and if there was no one on the set, the interaction was sweet", "Friends said that the two have been in love for a long time, and it is no longer a secret in the circle", "Netizens broke the news that they had met on the streets of Japan in April and the two traveled together"
Insiders, friends, netizens, who are they? Did anyone really break the news? Is the revelation credible? It doesn't matter, no one researches it, and no one cares.
After communicating with Brother Li, Director Li posted a group photo of the dinner that day through the official blog of "Hairpin Flower", saying that the dinner was a dinner of friends to communicate the follow-up activities of the movie.
"It's too fake, Liu Manna didn't star in "Hairpin Flower", why did you go to discuss the movie promotion together?"
"The official blog is clarifying, this is a real hammer, this is Si Jing taking his girlfriend out for dinner, a good wave of assists"
"Not only assisted, but also rubbed the heat, now everyone knows that "Hairpin Flower" is going to be released, this wave of propaganda 666" People who know the facts stand up and explain, but the audience doesn't buy it.
The cut is the same as the real thing, and the transmission is the same as the real thing, Si Jing was really angry, threw the phone aside, and only said: "Collect evidence and send a lawyer's letter!" ”
Brother Li waved his hand to let the others leave the conference room first, then sat down, sat opposite Si Jing, and adjusted his tone to try to make his next words more acceptable to Si Jing: "The situation... It's not the same as I imagined," Si Jing raised his eyes and looked directly at him: "What difference can it be?" ”
Brother Li continued: "I was contacted by someone just now. ”
Si Jing didn't want to answer his words, and asked impatiently: "Who?" ”
Brother Li: "Mr. Song of Light Goose Pictures"
"......", where is this, Si Jing rubbed his temples: "Why did you get involved in Light Goose Pictures?" ”
Light Goose Pictures is the industry's leading film and television production company, specializing in film and television production, film and television distribution, the number of films produced and distributed for ten consecutive years in the country, in recent years began to dabble in TV drama distribution investment, buy out several popular IP one by one, "hairpin" is one of its investment projects.
However, Guanggoose Pictures has focused on film and television production and distribution for several years, and has not involved artist management and advertising marketing, so what does it have to do with a scandal with other scenes?
Light Goose Pictures is full of resources, it is easy to support an actress, where do you need to use Si Jing, and Liu Manna herself is not low-profile, so as not to use such extreme hype Liu Manna is an actress who takes the temperament route, and in the past two years, she has been promoted to the ranks of popular actresses with several works with good ratings.
But her private life is very low-key, with good resources but a mysterious background, and few scandals are exposed. The only black material that can be called black is that it is often revealed that it has a big temper and is not easy to communicate - "playing a big name".
Brother Li held his forehead, a little weak: "I haven't figured out the relationship!" ”
Si Jing couldn't help but feel funny, there was a relationship that Brother Li couldn't figure out, he sat up straight, and suddenly became interested in this matter.
Brother Li continued: "The other party promised to sign a five-year cooperation agreement with the company, including eight protagonists, fifteen supporting roles in film and TV series projects, and other cooperation "generous" that the two parties intend to reach within five years. ”
Brother Li: "The condition is to be vague about today's news. ”
Si Jing looked at him and wanted to hear him say, "What is blurring?" ”
"Not responding, vaguely avoiding relevant questions in an interview, of course, does not require you to admit it, but the bottom line is that it cannot be denied."
Evading questions? He was good at this, but the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he asked, "What else did he say?" ”
"He said that he doesn't need you to admit that he is thinking about you, because you have your freedom to love, and the condition is that you don't respond, and he doesn't need you to have any other cooperation."
This Mr. Song was thoughtful and thoughtful, Si Jing crossed his fingers on the table, and asked him seriously: "Then if I fall in love, what if I will announce my relationship tomorrow?" ”
Brother Li stared at him for a while, he actually felt that Si Jing was not joking at this time, he wanted to explore something from Si Jing's eyes, but his eyes were clear and cunning, and he couldn't see a trace of flaw.
He retracted his gaze and said: "Three months, he said that as long as you don't announce your relationship within three months, if there is any news that affects the agreement during the period, it will not be counted as a breach of contract by us, the contract is normal and valid, and only the content of the cooperation falls on the contract, and the requirements for you are only a verbal gentleman's agreement." ”
Si Jing didn't speak for a while, he was thinking about things, Brother Li thought that he was concentrating on thinking about the issue of this contract, in fact, he was thinking, in three months, he should not be able to make his relationship public in three months, and he may not be too worried at all, whether Lin Lu agreed to him or not is a problem, and this statute of limitations does not seem to have an impact on him.
Thinking of Lin Lu... This contract should be able to do other things.
He said to Brother Li: "Give me Mr. Song's phone!" ”
Brother Li was very surprised, he originally thought that he couldn't talk about Sijing in this matter, but he just chatted with him with the mentality of trying, but he didn't expect that he was calm and peaceful today than usual, and he could even see the signs that he would agree.
Si Jing dialed Mr. Song's phone, walked out of the conference room, returned to his office, and the phone was connected.
"Hello, Mr. Song, our company Jing", he said first.
"Hello, long look up, long look up." Mr. Song's voice was younger than expected, clear and sharp.
"I can't afford to be so big by you, I can't stand your long-term admiration." Si Jing stood by the window and looked at the pedestrians holding their mobile phones below, but he felt that this world was very big, but there were not many sober people.
"I'm very sorry, it's really the situation that forced me to make a decision, Mr. Li told you all the cooperation I proposed?" , Mr. Song's apology is very frank.
"He said a lot, what kind of conditions, cooperation, but I didn't remember it in my heart, I think you promised so much that you just want to say four words."
Mr. Song asked, "Oh? How so? What are the four words? ”
"Do me a favor!" In Si Jing's view, the conditions offered by Mr. Song and the cooperation promised were just a means of a businessman, in fact, he just wanted to say "do me a favor".
When you are puzzled by the connection between two things, often the simplest connection between them is just feelings.
Mr. Song on the other end of the phone took a deep breath and said calmly and solemnly: "Yes, do me a favor, help me protect her in this way, and give me three months." ”
Si Jing was not interested in protecting other women, so he corrected Mr. Song: "It's you who protects her, and I'm just doing it." ”
Mr. Song heard him say this, and knew that he had acquiesced, the actor Si Jing was more interesting than he imagined, not an empty shelf dressed in an idol shell, he should be a friend who could drink and chat and talk about the past, he asked: "Aren't you afraid of being cheated by me because of this effort?" ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm immune to rumors and scandals, and I didn't help you, I didn't change my approach because of your agreement with the company, and I never responded to romance myself."
In response to the last headline, he himself was very reluctant to always attract attention because of lace news, and the popularity and traffic for the current actor Si Jing are equivalent to things outside his body, and it may even be counterproductive, so he simply did not respond. "Oh? Didn't you respond to such a big fuss today? Mr. Song is very curious about the actor's usual response to scandals.
Si Jing said truthfully: "I don't respond, but today's this is a bit excessive, I was going to send a lawyer's letter directly." There was a burst of laughter from Mr. Song on the phone.
Si Jing continued: "Because I also have people I want to protect!" ”
Mr. Song originally thought that this would be a-for-tat call, and he was ready to negotiate with him with more rhetoric, but he didn't expect it to turn into the honesty of two men in the end.
Si Jing directly picked out his attitude: "So, please add our gentleman's agreement to the contract between you and my company." ”
Of course, Mr. Song could understand what he meant, and asked directly: "What's her name?" ”
"Lin Lu."
Si Jing and Mr. Song talked a lot later.
Hang up.
Si Jing returned to the conference room, Brother Li was standing in front of the window and waiting there, looking calm and impermanent, in fact, he was restless, the conditions given by Mr. Song were too tempting, from his point of view, Pinyu benefited almost unilaterally in this cooperation, and he hoped and looked forward to Si Jing being able to cooperate in this matter.
Hearing the sound of Si Jing entering the door, he hurriedly turned around and asked, "How was the talk?" ”
Si Jing told him: "Someone from Guangge will come over to sign the contract in a while." ”
Brother Li's face was full of surprise and felt incredible: "It's so simple? ”
Si Jingtan spread his hands: "It's that simple", he walked to Brother Li's side, dragged over a chair and sat down, and spoke solemnly, sincerely, and very powerfully: "Brother Li, I will set up my own personal studio next year." ”
This is the condition that Si Jing gave to Brother Li at the same time as agreeing to Mr. Song's conditions, after all, from the company's point of view, it was Si Jing who won the five-year cooperation between Pinyu and Guang Ge, after all, the contract of Guang Goose was said to be signed to Rong Feng, but it was actually signed to Si Jing.
The ten-year contract period has not expired, and Si Jing's personal studio will still be under the name of Rongfeng Media, to put it bluntly, he just wants to break away from Brother Li.
