Chapter 734: Marginal People in Farming Literature (36)
"mother"
Jiang Sheng, nicknamed Qiqi, is now three years old and of kindergarten age.
She woke up in the morning looking a little whiny, and held Shen Yao's hand, appearing quite unhappy.
"No matter what, you can't skip school." No matter how much you cry and fuss, you can't refuse to go to school and become illiterate. Besides, it's not a big deal. You can't throw a tantrum like this.
Jiang Sheng: ...
Jiang Sheng called out "Mom" again, looking aggrieved and teary-eyed. If others who didn't know the inside story were to see him, they would definitely agree to let Jiang Sheng do whatever he wanted, but Shen Yao knew Jiang Sheng's true nature best and would not agree no matter what.
"dad"
Jiang Sheng turned to Jiang Hanzhou for help, but he didn't expect that this usually kind father was also a ruthless man with a heart of iron. Even his own wife disagreed, so how could he offend his wife for the sake of his daughter?
"Qiqi, anything else is fine, but you can't stop studying, especially since this whole thing was your fault."
Children playing and fighting is not a big deal, but Jiang Sheng may not have experienced any grievances since childhood. She sees the unintentional actions of other children at school as problems, after all, she is still young.
Jiang Sheng had to stop what he was about to say, letting out a pitiful hum, his expression changing instantly.
Seeing this, Jiang Hanzhou raised his eyebrows and pointed at the little man who had turned his back to him, complaining to his wife, "Who did you learn that from?"
He's quite convincing in his interactions, making him perfectly suited for the entertainment industry. He's adept at playing both sides of a character.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao raised her hand and gently patted Jiang Hanzhou's shoulder, telling him not to say everything. Jiang Sheng is young and needs proper guidance. The two of them are too busy on weekdays, and it wouldn't be good to drag this on any longer.
"I will reduce my work commitments in the future and spend more time with Qiqi."
Jiang Hanzhou felt that he and his wife needed to make some sacrifices for their child. Otherwise, with so many businesses and so much money earned, what if Jiang Sheng couldn't even keep it and instead squandered it?
It's often said that raising a child is a lifelong worry, and Jiang Hanzhou and his wife seem to be living up to that. They're not afraid that Jiang Sheng will spend money, but they are afraid that he will spend it faster than he earns it, and they are even more afraid that he will be outmaneuvered by certain people and lose everything. These are lessons learned from past mistakes.
“Okay, we’ll take turns going out then, and we also need to explain things to our parents.” Especially Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua, the couple who dote on Jiang Sheng. It’s not just about spoiling him. Jiang’s parents might have some principles, but Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua have no concept of principles at all. They give Jiang Sheng whatever he wants, as if they want to pluck the stars and the moon from the sky and hang them in front of Jiang Sheng’s bed.
Jiang Hanzhou nodded and silently expressed his helplessness regarding the challenges his daughter would face in the future.
At this moment, Jiang Sheng, the little radish head, was unaware that not only was she required to attend school, but she would also be subject to all-round, comprehensive discipline from her parents.
Fortunately, Jiang Sheng's outward appearance and inner character are consistent, and he doesn't have many ulterior motives.
After finishing breakfast at home, Jiang Sheng regained his cheerful demeanor, picked up his chubby penguin backpack, and trotted off to school.
Because he is not yet of school age, Jiang Sheng can only attend a private kindergarten at present.
The teachers here were also worried about whether Jiang Sheng would come. When they saw Shen Yao appear with Jiang Sheng, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Phew, it seems that yesterday's little incident has passed.
The past is the past, and Shen Yao, as the biological mother, has no choice but to try to make amends for her child.
Fortunately, the reason they attend private kindergartens is that children of people in the industry often attend these kindergartens, and early exposure is beneficial for future communication.
After waving goodbye to Jiang Sheng and instructing the kindergarten teachers to pay close attention to the children, Shen Yao turned and headed to the company, where a bunch of projects were waiting for her to initiate and begin working on.
Time flies! Jiang Sheng is already three years old. The short drama track that Shen Yao previously established herself in has long become crowded, and the people in it are starting to rise and fall like those in long dramas. Fortunately, short dramas have not yet dried up, and as long as they are filmed seriously, they can still make money.
"President Shen, this is the company's report from last month. It also includes several projects that President Jiang is in charge of developing." If nothing unexpected happens, these projects will need to be selected. While it's feasible to start all of them, the film and television industry is currently experiencing a downturn, and there may not be enough funds to sustain them.
It's worth noting that several companies in the industry have already experienced broken cash flow due to this reason, ultimately leading to bankruptcy as a result of their projects.
Not only did they lose all the money they had earned, but they also incurred additional debts that they had to repay.
The once glamorous stars and actors are now vying for the projects even more fiercely than before. The projects that Shen Yao can offer are generally quite good, and they have always been high-quality projects in the industry.
Just considering the projects that are about to be launched, countless celebrities and actors have contacted them, and they would agree to appear even if they had to lower their fees.
Hua Hua Hua——
Flipping through the documents in her hand, Shen Yao quickly scanned them and circled certain items in red.
"The red ones will be postponed for now, while the others will be approved as normal."
After saying that, Shen Yao couldn't help but raise her hand and lean back, sighing that nowadays the entertainment industry is filming all sorts of things, and she wondered what kind of drama they would be filming in a few years.
Nowadays, it's getting harder and harder to make money in the entertainment industry. Whether it's TV series or movies, the old tricks of fooling people are no longer effective. Audiences don't buy it, and no matter how much the fans jump around, what's the point? Because box office and viewership ratings aren't bought. Don't be fooled by how dazzling the data looks; it's all just used to fool outsiders.
Previously, some celebrities and actors would use this data to find endorsements and enter the luxury industry. Nowadays, endorsement and luxury circles are not stupid. They can tell at a glance whether it is real money or not. Everyone knows the tricks.
The assistant put away the documents that Shen Yao had processed and turned to leave the office.
The empty office was empty except for Shen Yao. As a phone rang, Shen Yao's wandering thoughts were brought back.
"Hey"
"Mr. Shen"
"Director Wang"
"..."
Shen Yao hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then decided to stop Director Wang's project. Favors are favors, and making money is making money.
The project was rather complicated, and Director Wang himself couldn't control the troublemakers on the crew. Fortunately, the company didn't lack profitable projects, so stopping it would not only give Director Wang some relief but also allow the company to catch its breath.
'But with this project canceled, Zhou You will definitely be overjoyed.'
There was no one to compete with Zhou You anymore. After all, Director Wang was making a prequel to "The Amazing Race," and the previous sequel had been a huge success, which made Zhou You, who was focused on making money to pay off his debts, start thinking about it.
Sure enough, when people are pushed to a certain point, they don't care about bottom lines or principles at all. Zhou You is in that state right now, seizing every opportunity to make money.
Zhou You had previously promised not to touch it, but now it seems his promise is no longer valid.
The system felt a bit angry at this thought; Zhou You was really shameless!
Ah ah ah ah ah!
How can someone make money from movies? God is so unfair!
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao couldn't help but tell the system to calm down. Excessive noise wouldn't bring any benefits; on the contrary, it would only get them into trouble.
"If Zhou You wants to make a prequel, let him. We're not going to argue over this." Shen Yao didn't want to fight with Zhou You over this, partly because of the previous sequel to "The Amazing Race."
Because they were filmed by different directors, the final results were vastly different.
Under the new director's direction, the release of the sequel to "The Amazing Race" caused a stir, but compared to the real money earned, the controversy was clearly not valued by the capital.
Now that Zhou You is going to continue to use his reputation and abilities to film the prequel, Shen Yao can already imagine all the criticism and condemnation that will follow the film's release. Well, let Zhou You bear it himself; Director Wang's small frame can't take it.
Moreover, Director Wang himself was unwilling to take on such a mess. He was caught between a rock and a hard place. If it weren't for the fact that he had worked with Shen Yao for many years and couldn't refuse her, Director Wang would have preferred to give himself a false health excuse and say that he needed to rest.
However, with President Shen's arrangement, I can get rid of the troubles without needing to rest.
Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, patted his cheeks, and then disappeared from the film set.
As for the arrangements after the crew temporarily suspends filming, that's a matter for the company to handle, and it has nothing to do with her, a working director.
…………
Shen Yao's daily routine consists of going to work and picking up her beloved daughter from kindergarten after get off work.
Jiang Sheng is, after all, the child of Jiang Hanzhou and Shen Yao. He took a lot of pills when he was young, so his physical and intellectual foundation is there, and it's impossible for him to be lacking.
After Jiang Hanzhou returned, Shen Yao and he exchanged information. In the end, Shen Yao took a plane to another city, leaving Jiang Hanzhou to guard the base and take care of the children.
"Mr. Shen"
Director Zheng
Shen Yao met with a director from Blueberry TV, who also came from "The Road to Stardom" and is currently planning a reality show.
The main focus is on online live streaming and real reactions. It has been generating buzz online for some time now. The reason for inviting Shen Yao is that the two sides had crossed paths because of "The Road to Stardom," and continuing to cooperate would be more beneficial than harmful.
Blueberry TV has high hopes for Shen Yao's abilities. After all, just one variety show can sustain the platform for a long time. If this live reality show can be successful, the people at Blueberry TV can't even imagine how high-profile they can become.
"My current idea is to focus more on live streaming and authenticity."
The celebrities we invited this time are all either very popular or big names, and they've agreed to cooperate.
Of course, Blueberry TV isn't afraid if they don't cooperate. It's a live broadcast anyway, and if they accidentally expose something, it has nothing to do with Blueberry TV.
Shen Yao mainly kept an eye on Director Zheng's safety, especially in the face of unexpected accidents. These popular celebrities and actors all have fans, and the possibility of fans taking extreme actions cannot be ruled out. Although live streaming is a gimmick, if the gimmick is not handled well, it will lead to a dead end.
It's not that accidents don't happen during program recordings, but most of them are suppressed. Live broadcasts don't have that ability; even a little bit of content leaked can go viral.
Director Zheng is also worried about this kind of thing. He has discussed it with his team in advance and decided not to do any dangerous programs or go to any dangerous places.
While doing so might reduce the difficulty and make the show less interesting, Director Zheng was genuinely worried about the consequences if anything went wrong with the entire program.
After all, Blueberry TV is a satellite platform. It not only has the function of broadcasting various movies and TV shows, but also needs to spread positive influences.
Although the leaders of Blueberry TV are eager for viewership, they are more worried about losing their positions.
The show "Actors' Road to Stardom" has already helped Blueberry TV gain a lot of viewership, which has greatly pleased the station's leadership. The launch of a new variety show is more about expanding this viewership pool, or at the very least maintaining the status quo. As for growing bigger and stronger and creating brilliance together? That can be done slowly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I understand. The production of the entire program doesn't have to rely on gimmicks or highlights." As long as the live broadcast and authenticity are maintained, the ratings will never be at the bottom.
Not coming in last place would be half the battle won for this variety show. The other half depends on how these popular celebrities and actors perform in front of the camera. After all, the production team doesn't really like to cause trouble. These popular celebrities and actors were hired at considerable expense, and the production team wants a win-win situation so that they can negotiate future platform collaborations.
The martial arts world isn't about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and mutual respect.
Shen Yao chatted with Director Zheng until very late that day, then returned to her hotel to rest. The next morning, she washed her face and rushed to the variety show set to continue communicating.
These kinds of variety shows are all scripted, and generally require prior communication with the artists. Then it depends on how well the artists perform.
Because it was a live broadcast, Blueberry TV and Peach Video collaborated, with the live stream playing continuously on Peach Video and the edited segments being released through Blueberry TV.
Because there is a time limit between the original film and the final cut, this has piqued the curiosity of many viewers.
They were eager to know how a variety show episode was edited, and now Blueberry TV's innovative reforms are finally giving them a glimpse into the process.
Driven by various curiosities, viewers couldn't help but immerse themselves in the live broadcast of this variety show on Blueberry TV as soon as it began.
Of course, the majority of the audience are definitely the fans of these artists.
They came not only to show their support, but also to educate some haters or genuine viewers about the merits of their own artists, in order to prevent other rival groups from taking advantage of the situation and deliberately disrupting the live stream's comment environment.
Shen Yao also sat in the hotel watching these live streams. Because there were many celebrities invited this time, in order to make it easier to view all the live streams, Shen Yao not only used all the electronic devices she brought, but also bought two extra small computers.
The coffee table in the hotel living room was filled with various playback devices. Shen Yao sat on the sofa watching them, occasionally urging the system to help her.
system:……
The system doesn't understand why someone would choose to stay in the hotel when they could go to the variety show set.
'There are a lot of people over there, and the director is very busy.' She wasn't some nobody, and the director couldn't possibly ignore her. Shen Yao didn't like making a fuss and causing trouble.
System: ...Alright.
It does whatever the host says, and it's just watching these celebrities and actors on live streams. Don't be fooled by the gimmick of authenticity; these people are surrounded by a lot of people, so no matter how real they seem, there's still a facade.
