After I came back from the world of self-cultivation, I became popular

Cao Xi silently covered the little girl's eyes, and hugged the other two little cheetahs at the same time, "Hey, let's go to another place, and I'll tell you the story. This time, let's change the story, shall we?"

Shen Qiumian: ...

Meng Shenwen: ...

"Brother Meng." Seeing Cao Xi and the three cubs walking away, Shen Qiumian stood up and grabbed Meng Shenwen by the collar, "Let's go and discuss."

***

At night, the whole villa was brightly lit, Meng Shenwen was busy in the kitchen, and there were three little leopards squatting at his feet, trying to steal something every time.

Cao Xi was talking to Rebecca about Wenqiu's studio, and when she knew that Rebecca was the female cheetah with the scar on her body, a new idea suddenly popped up in Cao Xi's mind.

"Being a celebrity?" Rebecca tilted her head, "Is it the same job as Qiuqiu?"

"Almost." Cao Xi nodded, "However, there are many kinds of celebrities. Some people will sing or act, and some will keep their popularity through variety shows. There are always many routes that can be taken. However, Qiu Mian He and Lao Meng prefer acting."

After thinking for a while, Rebecca shook her head, "Thank you for your suggestion, but I don't like being a star."

"Then what do you want to do?" Cao Xi asked curiously.

"I don't know." Rebecca replied without any hesitation.

Cao Xi: "..."

***

After dinner, Cao Xi, Meng Shenwen, and Shen Qiumian went to the study.

"Weng Shi and Jiao Zhi have gotten very close recently." Meng Shenwen handed the tablet to Cao Xi. There were many photos on it, which were obviously taken secretly, and they were all photos of Weng Shi and another man he didn't know. And the pose between the two is very intimate.

"So..." Cao Xi pondered, "This Weng Shi and the Jiao family have a very close relationship, so it's no wonder they deliberately made trouble."

"But...is it worth it?"

After the last incident, the word-of-mouth of "Vogue" magazine was almost completely ruined. Although the editor-in-chief who succeeded him tried his best to restore it, many celebrities still rejected "Vogue"'s invitation to shoot.

As for Weng Shi, it is equivalent to ruining his future future.

"If it's really not worth the money, do you think Weng Shi would agree so readily?" After finishing speaking, Meng Shenwen showed another part of the investigation results, which showed Weng Shi's approximate net worth at this time, although "Fashion The editor-in-chief of "Magazine earns a lot of money, but compared with Weng Shi's net worth at this time, it is nothing but drizzle.

"In addition, he can also get the support of the Jiao family." Meng Shenwen suddenly smiled ironically, "I just don't know what Mrs. Jiao thinks."

Cao Xi hissed, "Old Meng, what you mean is that you have given all these materials to..."

"That's right." Meng Shenwen nodded, "Next, just watch the show quietly."

"I don't think it's okay to sit and wait for death like this." Cao Xi was worried, "What if Mrs. Jiao endured it?"

In reality, there are many such women, who can always convince themselves with various reasons.

Meng Shenwen narrowed his eyes, "I didn't expect this."

"Perhaps, we should check the background of that Mrs. Jiao first." Shen Qiumian touched her chin, "If she is willing, maybe we can cooperate with her, after all, an enemy's enemy is a temporary friend .”

After confirming the target, subsequent actions became much smoother.

Not long after, Cao Xi investigated Mrs. Jiao thoroughly.

"Fang Yi, the daughter of the Fang family." Cao Xi tapped her finger on the information, "The situation is not very optimistic. This girl looks like a good wife and mother. Even if the Jiao family loses power, she will never leave her. For a business marriage, she is really..."

At the end, Cao Xi shook his head.

Meng Shenwen looked at the information carefully, pondered for a while, and said, "Leave her alone, and keep an eye on Jiao Zhi's movements. He is holding a piece of 'big material' in his hand, and he is probably considering selling it. The timing must be the biggest blow to me and Mianmian."

It's better to be still than to move.

Cao Xi still felt uneasy, "Lao Meng, I still don't think it's appropriate to do this."

"Listen to what I'm telling you." Cao Xi pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Meng Shenwen, "If he is really exposed, no matter how many clarifications we make later, we will still treat Qiu Mian in the end. The wind criticism caused a certain amount of damage..."

"I know." Meng Shenwen raised his hand, "I understand what you mean, Lao Cao."

"But..." Meng Shenwen squinted his eyes, "This time, I will make the entire Jiao Rong Group completely unable to turn around."

"What do you mean?" Cao Xi only felt that there was something in Meng Shen's words, "Does Qiu Mian know about this?"

"He knows." Meng Shenwen said indifferently, "So, Lao Cao, I leave the man-marking to you."

"Don't worry!" Cao Xi patted her chest, "Speaking of which, although the paparazzi have been like dog skin plaster these years, they are really useful sometimes."

For example, now, hiring senior paparazzi to mark people can be regarded as an alternative "make the best use of everything".

After the arrangements here were settled, a young man who looked a bit weird came to the door of Wen Qiu's studio.

There is a bunch of white hair in the middle of his forehead, his face is elegant, he is wearing a gray gown, and he holds two extremely smooth Wenwan walnuts in his hands.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked around curiously, and was amazed from time to time. If it wasn't for that face, he would definitely be considered a bumpkin who has never been in the world.

However, that elegant face and calm demeanor made him very pleasing to the eye when he did all kinds of bumpkin behavior.

The front desk of Wenqiu's studio was stunned for a while, and then hurried forward to greet him, "Hi sir, welcome to Wenqiu's studio, what can I do?"

"Oh." Seeing someone approaching, the elegant-faced man in the gown smiled and nodded, "I'm looking for Meng Shenwen, and Shen Qiumian."

Huh?Came to see the boss and the boss's wife?

The eyes of the front desk immediately lit up. It seemed that this person should also be an artist who came to sign the contract, right?

I don't know where the boss and the proprietress found them. Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about their appearance. They are a top beauty!

The little girl at the front desk confirmed that as long as the newly signed artists of the studio don't act like demons, they can still be popular with their faces. As for whether they can become popular in the future, it depends on their own fate.

"Please come with me." The girl at the front desk didn't dare to neglect, and immediately led him in. However, as soon as she entered, she ran into Shen Qiumian and Meng Shenwen who were about to leave the studio.

"Oops!" Upon seeing Shen Qiumian, the young man in a long gown with an elegant face bought it in a few steps, and took out a tablet computer, "Qiumian, help me quickly, why is this thing turning black?"

"You are..." Shen Qiumian was a little puzzled, he seemed to have never seen this person before.

But Meng Shenwen recognized who this person was, "Old turtle, why did you come here?"

What?old turtle?

The little girl at the front desk and Shen Qiumian were both stunned. The little girl at the front desk was because of the word "old turtle" that Meng Shenwen just said. She had never heard Meng Shenwen scold anyone before!

And Shen Qiumian was surprised by the appearance of the old turtle, obviously when they met last time, he still looked like a white-haired old man!

In a daze, Shen Qiumian took the tablet from Old Turtle's hand, pulled out a charging cable, found a computer and plugged it in, "It's just out of battery."

The old tortoise simply squatted at the charging place. After squatting for a while, he felt uncomfortable again, and finally sat on the ground, watching the TV series with relish.

Shen Qiumian couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and glanced at it quietly, "The Temptation of Going Home", it happened to be the line that you are so coquettish.

"That...Mr. Turtle," Shen Qiumian hesitated to speak, "Do you like watching this very much?"

"Yes." The old tortoise didn't even take his eyes off the screen, "How fresh, I haven't read this kind of script before!"

Shen Qiumian: ...

The girl at the front desk at the side was already flustered in the wind. She opened her mouth, but in the end she still abided by her professional principles and didn't ask any more questions.

but……

Where did the boss and my parents find this kind of old antique!

***

Seeing that the whole studio was about to attract people to watch, Shen Qiumian quickly invited them into the meeting room beside him.

But the old tortoise held the tablet computer and refused to let it go, "Is this thing running out of battery?"

Shen Qiumian had no choice but to prepare another power bank for him, and then coaxed him into the meeting room.

"Mr. Turtle," Shen Qiumian thought about it, "Could it be because of the black screen of the tablet computer that you came here?"

"Of course it's just for this one thing." The old tortoise said naturally, "There's nothing else."

"Of course." I probably also knew that my behavior of eating, drinking, and using the tablet at other people's side was very outrageous, so the old tortoise finally made a concession, "If you need my help... "

Having said that, the old tortoise paused for a moment before continuing to say, "You can wait for me to finish watching this episode first."

Shen Qiumian: ...

Meng Shenwen didn't seem too surprised, "Old turtle, I do need your help with something."

"Oh?" The old tortoise was finally willing to look away from the flat mountain a little bit, "You say."

"I'm currently preparing a TV series, fantasy."

"Oh? That's pretty good." The old tortoise said appreciatively.

"But the screenwriter I hired before has a problem, it's an idiot." Meng Shenwen complained about the unreliable idiot screenwriter, but he was not soft-spoken at all, "So, I want to invite you to be the screenwriter."

Shen Qiumian's eyes could not help falling on "The Temptation of Going Home" that the old tortoise was watching, and he couldn't help but doubt the old tortoise's ability.

Meng Shenwen rubbed Shen Qiumian's head, "Don't worry, the old turtle was also a powerful figure back then."

"Not at all, not at all." The old tortoise waved his hand, "Then what benefits do I have?"

"The good thing is..." Meng Shenwen pointed to the tablet in the old turtle's hand, "There are new ones coming out recently, if you like, I can give you one of each series of brands."

The old tortoise's eyes lit up, "Oh, this relationship is good!"

Shen Qiumian: ...

This is too easy to be bribed!You must know that the fantasy drama "Difficult to Journey" itself has a long number of words in the original work. After it is adapted into a TV series, although appropriate deletions will be made, it is not enough to solve the problem in [-] or [-] episodes!

For senior screenwriters, the remuneration for an episode can reach tens of thousands. Even if you buy the latest IPAD for each series, it will cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Too pit!

But...Since Shen Qiumian didn't know the true level of the old tortoise as a screenwriter, Shen Qiumian suppressed his doubts.

***

A few months later, Shen Qiumian couldn't help but be fascinated by the script handed in by the old tortoise.

In the original text of "Difficult to Travel", there is inevitably water-filled content, but the old tortoise drastically revised the branch lines of the original text while maintaining the main line, deleting what should be deleted, keeping what should be kept, and the rhythm is tighter than the original. The suspense at the end of each episode lures Shen Qiumian to keep watching, wishing to see the ending immediately!

"Huh—" After reading it, Shen Qiumian threw the script away and fell straight on the sofa.

"A Difficult Way to Journey", as you can tell from the name, is a novel about the protagonist and Tiandou. Changing fate against the sky is the core of the novel, but the original author's writing is unconventional.

It's no wonder that many people are extremely hostile to the changes in "A Difficult Journey".

Not to mention the special effects, just the change of the script, which is a huge project.

Fortunately, the wait was worth it.

"Next," Shen Qiumian opened the hand covering her eyes, "We're going to find a suitable actor. I don't know who can play the leading role."

"I've already chosen." Meng Shenwen held Shen Qiumian's hand, "It's you."

Shen Qiumian was taken aback, "Brother Meng?"

"Do you know why I chose to buy this novel in the first place?" Meng Shenwen brought Shen Qiumian's hand to his lips, and kissed it lightly, "Because I saw something of you in this protagonist. .”

"my shadow?"

"In order to avoid being chased by his enemies, he had to disguise himself and experience a different life, just like...you used to be." Meng Shenwen put one hand on the back of the sofa, and jumped from behind the sofa to the front, "From a From the beginning, I decided that the protagonist will only be you."

"But..." Shen Qiumian moved her lips, "I..."

"Do you not believe in your own strength?"

"of course not!"

"Then why are you still hesitating?" Meng Shenwen leaned over and kissed Shen Qiumian's forehead, "Trust me, you are the most suitable."

Shen Qiumian looked into Meng Shenwen's eyes, and suddenly said slowly, "I'm just... worried, I'll let you down."

"No." Meng Shenwen grabbed Shen Qiumian's hand, "Believe me, never will."

Because during the filming process, monsters need to be used for "special effects production", so, after weighing, Meng Shenwen decided to be the director himself.

But also because of this, as Meng Shenwen's first fantasy TV series directed by himself, many actors they originally liked declined the invitation.

Meng Shenwen's talent in filming can be said to be unquestioned, but this is his first work as a director, and many people finally rejected it out of other considerations.

However, when Shen Qiumian was at a loss, he suddenly received several calls.

It was Xu Zilu who called at first, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he began to complain about Shen Qiumian's lack of loyalty, and he didn't call her for such a good thing.

Although it was complaining, Shen Qiumian understood that the other party was actually here to help.

"Zilu," Shen Qiumian said with a serious expression, "We are friends, so there are some things I have to tell you."

"This TV series is the first TV series directed by Brother Meng. Neither I nor Brother Meng can guarantee that it will become a big hit in the future, but what I can assure you is that we will do our best to film this TV series. good."

From the other end of the phone, Xu Zilu's crisp laughter suddenly came. There seemed to be another person beside her, who whispered something next to her, but Shen Qiumian didn't hear clearly.

"Actually, Qiu Mian, as long as I have your words, that's enough!" Xu Zilu said proudly, "Is there a role that suits me? Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, I will audition!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiumian immediately looked through the information, "There are indeed a few challenging female characters, you can try them all."

"It's done!"

After making an agreement with Xu Zilu, his phone rang again, this time, it was Su Ningning.Then came Su Xiangyang, and other actors who were not close to Shen Qiumian.

However, not all of them have free time slots, so there are only a few people who can be settled in the end.

"Brother Meng." Shen Qiumian touched his chin and said slowly, "What do you think, if we go directly to the Film Academy to select candidates?"

Meng Shenwen suddenly smiled softly, "Mianmian, I found out that we really have a good understanding."

***

When choosing the right actors, the training of the monsters was not neglected. To become a qualified "special effects producer", Meng Shenwen has only one requirement for them, all kinds of spells must be beautiful!

And it needs to be the kind that moves a lot.

"But, Director Meng!" A person, oh no, it was a demon, said, "If the effect of the spell is too dazzling, it is very impractical. In that case, everyone will know it just by looking at it!"

"Yes yes yes!"

"That would be like looking for death!"

"Quiet." Meng Shenwen raised his hand and lowered it slightly. Soon, Yaokou Management Office became quiet.

"When you are shooting, everyone should keep one thing in mind." Meng Shenwen looked around, saw everyone looking at him seriously, and said slowly, "Think about the courtship before you have enlightened your wisdom and become fairies." How did you do it when?"

"No matter what kind of animal it is, when courting a mate, you must make yourself bright enough to attract the attention of the female."

Seeing the suddenly enlightened looks of all the monsters, Meng Shenwen nodded slightly, "So, behave well."

After finishing speaking, Meng Shenwen specifically warned, "It will be on TV at that time, and everyone can see it."

"Can we be on TV too?!"

"But...Brother Meng, you said before that we need to look like someone else to be on TV."

Meng Shenwen comforted her with a gentle voice, "That's a stand-in. When you don't need to be a stand-in, you can take the mirror in real life."

"Is it really possible?!"

"Of course!" Meng Shenwen said with certainty.

"Then...then do I need to remove the whole face?" The skeleton slowly raised his hand.

"No." Meng Shenwen immediately stopped his thought, "Your original form is fine, and you don't need to make any changes."

And, the scarier the better!

***

After everything is in place, the fantasy TV series "A Difficult Way to Journey" is scheduled to start officially in August.

But before starting the machine, Shen Qiumian and Meng Shenwen had to find time to go to Venice.

That's right, Nie Bo was nominated again.Similarly, Meng Shenwen was nominated for Best Actor again.

Moreover, I don't know if it's the organizer's bad taste, so I highly recommend Meng Shenwen to bring his black cat.

"Believe me, it is definitely the black cat that can act the most!"

Shen Qiumian: ...

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've been to Venice." Shen Qiumian looked at the approaching days on the calendar and became nervous, "I don't know if you can get the best actor this time, Brother Meng. "

"Brother Meng, are you confident?"

"It's hard to say." Meng Shenwen shook his head, "I've watched all the films nominated this time, and the other nominees are very strong."

"But in my eyes, you are the best one!" Shen Qiumian said without hesitation.

Meng Shenwen kissed Shen Qiumian's lips, it was a kiss without any desire, "Thank you."

Soon, Wenqiu's studio announced the good news, and fans sent their blessings one after another, and even started betting on Meng Shenwen's chances of winning the prize.

[Bet on a spicy stick, the male god will win! 】

[You can't afford it upstairs, I'll bet on it! 】

[Get out of the way, I bet the black cat Mianmian will win!Bet on a bag of air! 】

[I rely on it!You are going too far!A bag of air, are you looking down on our little black? ! 】

[Speaking of which, I'm curious, who is Brother Meng's red carpet guest. 】

[Well, I don't know if Qiuqiu will go, but Qiuqiu has no works, so she should not be qualified to walk on the red carpet, hey, I don't know that Qiuqiu can only make a movie when she is in the sun! 】

[Although I am also looking forward to Qiuqiu being on the podium, but...you have to eat every bite, and you have to walk step by step. It is not good to encourage growth. 】

***

When the red carpet really started, Meng Shenwen walked out of the Bentley under the eager anticipation of everyone, turned around again, knelt down on one knee, and stretched out his hand.

[Ah ah ah!Get down on one knee!Who is this asking for marriage? ! ! ! 】

【Oh my god, Brother Meng really pulled Qiuqiu up, right?I know I'm dreaming, but let my dream last a little longer! 】

It wasn't just the audience who noticed Meng Shenwen's abnormal behavior. The reporters guarding around the red carpet even pointed their guns at the open car door.

The next moment, a black hairy paw stretched out and pressed it accurately on Meng Shenwen's hand.
