The Eye of the Storm

On the 15th day after Huang Qianshi was exposed to drug abuse, the discussion on this matter on the Internet has been greatly reduced, but because the entertainment industry has been calm for nearly half a month, the topic "Huang Qianshi was deported to Hong Kong" appeared on the list On the Internet, it quickly climbed to the top of the hot search, and even sent Liang Sizhe and the movie "Darkest Choice" to the hot search again.

The next day, Cheng Duan pushed the door into Cao Ye's office with the new public opinion report, and sat down opposite him: "Yesterday's discussion reached the peak of this week, I think we should make an official announcement as soon as possible. There is still interest in this matter."

"Fat, it's up to you," Cao Ye took a look at the public opinion report and looked up at him, "Since the contract has been signed, the subsequent promotion process will follow your pace, and you need to discuss it with me. ?”

"It's the first time I'm working with such a big player, I'm not guilty." Cheng Duan joked with him with a smile.

"Come on, you make it sound like our company has never seen the world," Cao Ye also laughed, "Speaking of which, Liang Sizhe is not as old as you."

"It hurts my heart when you say this... I think, if possible, we can take a photo of Liang Sizhe's makeup and expose it together with the official announcement. The effect should be good. What do you think?"

The mobile phone on the table vibrated, and a call came. Cao Ye typed on the keyboard to reply an email, and was not in a hurry to answer the call: "As long as his schedule is suitable, I have no problem."

The phone kept vibrating, and Cheng Duan couldn't help but glanced at the caller ID on the screen, "Qin Zhenzhen" - it seems that the recent rumor about Cao Ye breaking up with Lin Huan is true.

"Come on," Cheng Duan stood up, "If you have no objection, then I'll let go and make an appointment."

"Why do I think you're a bit strange?" Cao Ye looked up at him, "I haven't seen you discuss such a small matter with me before."

Cheng Duan was about to turn around and leave, when he heard the words, he turned his head and smiled at him: "Really? Then what, someone in the company recently spread rumors that I want to seek power and position, I'm just giving you reassurance."

"I want to grab you and tell me," Cao Ye smiled nonchalantly, "I'll take the initiative to give you my seat." After speaking, he picked up his phone and pressed the screen to answer the call.

"What's the matter?"

"Haha, it's okay, it's just missing me."

"Where are you?...OK, I'll pick you up later."

Cao Ye flirted in front of his face without avoiding suspicion, and Cheng Duan was not surprised. Counting the days, it was time for Cao Ye to change his girlfriend—I told Lin Huan Shao that he had been together for two months, and it was already It can be regarded as a broken record.The actress is still the actress, Cheng Duan sighed in his heart, being able to hold Mr. Cao for two months, the charm and skill are not shallow...

He walked out of Cao Ye's office, closed the door casually, took out his mobile phone, bowed his head and sent a message in the project promotion group: "Come to Dolphin House for a meeting."

What Cao Ye said was right, all the propaganda matters were controlled by him alone, and he hardly discussed it with Cao Ye.But for some reason, he always feels a little hypocritical when it comes to Liang Sizhe, and he doesn't dare to make up his own mind - it's not really because he hasn't worked with such a big name before. In fact, before joining Luomeng, he worked with There are quite a few wrists, so there is no need to show timidity in front of Liang Sizhe.

But Cao Ye really didn't dare touch the rebellious scales about "Liang Sizhe" on his body, just like no one in their company's middle and senior management would rashly propose to cooperate with Cao Xiuyuan.

——Could it be that Cao Ye's discord with Liang Sizhe was really because of the incident with Lin Huan back then?Cheng Duan couldn't help guessing, but he didn't see how much Cao Ye cared about Lin Huan... If it was someone who had been obsessed with Lin Huan for many years, how could he change to a new one after only being with him for two months?

Just as he was thinking, the phone in his hand vibrated.Feeling it out, the company's most important commercial film project in the second half of this year is about to start. The tentative casting results have just been released in the project group. Cheng Duan took a quick glance and saw "Qin Zhenzhen" three words.

Cheng Duan had seen the script of that film, it was a pretty good drama film, the blood of boxing, family love and tears, the plot and emotion are both stand up, presumably the market will like this type of film.Qin Zhenzhen's role in the film is the second female lead, a wine seller in an underground boxing ring. This role is quite flattering. She makes a lot of appearances but does not require much acting skills. Most of the time she only needs to stand behind the counter and put on a pose. With a cool and glamorous appearance, it’s enough to just flirt with the male lead in a casual way—it’s so suitable for Qin Zhenzhen, Cheng Duan couldn’t help but want to laugh, Cao Ye has had countless girlfriends, and more than half of them were arranged for him Even though the characters are arranged quite well, it is no wonder that he is Cao Xiuyuan's son. It seems that the genetics in this area are not in vain.

The matter of taking the makeup photos was quickly confirmed, and Liang Sizhe replied very straightforwardly. The executive manager Song Qingyan replied: "As long as it is within the contract period, Teacher Liang has a schedule any day."

Cheng Duan was slightly surprised to receive this reply. There have always been rumors in the circle that Liang Sizhe is not easy to cooperate with, but this reply can make Liang Sizhe rank in Cheng Duan's heart "Top 1 on the list of the best talking artists". Song Qing wondered if Xu Yunchu had inspired this reply, but he thought Xu Yunchu would not be able to communicate so well.

It was finally decided to take a makeup photo the day after tomorrow, and the shooting location was set at the studio inside the Lomond Building.

The interior design of Luomeng was all conceived by Cao Ye at the beginning, and he communicated with the designer himself in the early and late stages. When he first proposed to set aside a whole floor for a shooting studio, he was strongly urged by another partner, Ding Xin. be opposed to.Ding Xin said at the time that studios are everywhere in Beijing, and the rent is very cheap. It would be a waste to build such a large studio within the company.But Cao Ye didn't listen. He felt that without a studio, he was not worthy of being a film company, so he insisted on keeping this design.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, someone shouted "Liang Sizhe is here" in the office area, and immediately all the employees in the company got up from their seats, scrambling to lie down on the floor-to-ceiling windows and look down.

It is said that the employees of the film company see many celebrities on weekdays, and the ordinary starlets don't even bother to look at them twice, but this practice does not apply to Liang Sizhe——Liang Sizhe will cause a sensation no matter where he appears, and no one can deny him. Is the superstar of this era.

But Liang Sizhe didn't look like a superstar when he came here today. He only brought the driver and Song Qingyan with him. He even pushed the door open by himself. The chassis of the off-road vehicle was very high, so he grabbed the edge of the door and jumped out of the car.Black T and black trousers, no sunglasses, looks much more refined than the one at the airport.

Cheng Duan received the news, and when he opened the door and walked out of the office, he heard two young girls talking excitedly: "Without makeup, you look super young! Ahhh, so handsome!" I have no intention of working, and I am sticking my head out of the window on my toes and looking down.

This enthusiastic atmosphere infected Cheng Duan, and he felt a little excited. He had met Liang Sizhe several times before on other occasions, but it was the first time for such close cooperation.Cheng Duan found it a little inconceivable that he could still feel the mood of chasing stars at his age.

Before going downstairs, he knocked on the door of the company's large conference room. The group of students from the "Mandala" crew came to talk about post-production today.Although this film is not a big investment, and the previously estimated rate of return is not high, and may even face the ending of losing money when it is released, Cao Ye is still very concerned about this project. Every time the director brings the crew over, he will spare a special time to chat with them for a while.

"Hello, Mr. Cao," Cheng Duan bent his fingers and knocked on the open glass door, "Liang Sizhe is here, do you want to meet?"

Before Cao Ye could speak, several students raised their hands to cover their mouths, as if they were about to scream in the next second.

"I guessed it, the noise outside almost knocked the roof over." Cao Ye leaned back on the chair, turned his face and waved at him, "You go there first, I'll go after I'm done here. "

"Can we go?" The director's name is Ding Mao, a senior boy with a shaved head. At this moment, his buttocks are lifted from the seat, and he almost rushed out.

"Want to see Liang Sizhe or want to chat with me?" Cao Ye gave him a half-smile look, "Go, chasing stars is important."

"No, no, no," Ding Mao sat down calmly, "You are important, but Brother Ye is the most important."

Cao Ye looked at him and laughed, rolled up the script in his hand and threw it in front of him: "Go, idol is the most important thing, okay? Is it worthwhile to treat the management as your father?"

Before the words fell, the few people sitting around the table dispersed in an instant, and all ran out to chase after the stars.

Cheng Duan, who was standing by the door, was almost knocked down, and he backed out with a smile to make room for them. He waited until the last person ran out before he stood back by the door again: "You are not two years older than them, you look like a big brother!" It's quite well placed... Is it really not going to pass?"

"Go," Cao Ye called up the rough clips on the computer while holding the mouse, resting his chin on one hand, without turning his head, "Go after reading this part."

Cheng Duan couldn't move him, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll go there first."

"Be good at hospitality." Cao Ye said lazily.

In the studio, Zeng Ran brought the main cast of the crew over and introduced them to Liang Sizhe one by one.Liang Sizhe has no airs. When introducing everyone, he shakes hands and says "Hello". Both his expression and posture reveal a sense of distance that is just right.

Cheng Duan walked over, thinking that this scene was like Liang Sizhe's fan meeting.The usually disheveled and rough men of the production team have washed their hair today, and they really look like dogs.

But this is not difficult to understand, Liang Sizhe is an extreme existence in various circles.The entire film circle loves him, most of the media circle hates him, some audiences are obsessed with him to death, and the rest of the audience don't understand the point of those audiences who are obsessed with him.

After Zeng Ran introduced the last member of the crew, Cheng Duan was about to introduce himself, but Liang Sizhe reached out to him, "Boss Cheng."

Cheng Duan was stunned, and quickly reached out to hold it, hurriedly picked up a sentence in his mind to say hello, and said with a smile: "Hello, Sizhe, I thought you wouldn't remember me, just now I was thinking about how to introduce myself so that I won't be embarrassed. "

"I met at the charity dinner last year, the vice president of Luo Meng, if I remember correctly." Liang Sizhe looked at him and said.Now that we got closer to the conversation, Cheng Duan felt that Liang Sizhe was quite different from the image that the media had always portrayed. In fact, he didn't have that aggressive aura in private. It doesn't seem to make sense to get along with everyone.

"I remember correctly," Cheng Duan said with a smile, "It's just that the vice president is just a name, and his real identity is the director of publicity and distribution."

Liang Sizhe seemed to feel that this statement was a bit new, and slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "So that's it, the president is just a name?"

"Haha, that's right," Cheng Duan joked, lowered his voice, and moved closer to him, "The true identity of the president is actually the company's mascot."

Liang Sizhe laughed after hearing this, and said, "It's very appropriate."

"The true identity of the president is the company's mascot", this meme was not something Cheng Duan came up with on the spur of the moment.Cao Ye is young and always looks cynical, so the company that is cooperating with Luo Meng for the first time will inevitably have doubts - isn't this president really just for show?

In fact, the three bosses of Luomeng perform their own duties. Cao Ye is in charge of investment, Ding Xin is in charge of production, and Cheng Duan is in charge of publicity. Although Cao Ye has a higher status in the company, he does not interfere much He almost let Cheng Duan take full responsibility for what happened.But after being asked more times, Cheng Duan naturally made jokes about Cao Ye.This joke was later known by Cao Ye, and he used it to laugh at himself in front of outsiders.

Cao Ye didn't seem to care whether he was a waste in the eyes of outsiders, although Cheng Duan really thought he was pretty good, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in Luomeng wholeheartedly to work for Cao Ye.

Liang Sizhe took the initiative to mention Cao Ye, and Cheng Duan had to explain for him: "Mr. Cao still has some investment matters to deal with urgently. He will come over in a while. Let's shoot first."

"Okay." Liang Sizhe didn't say much, and responded very simply.

Speaking of speaking, Cheng Duan felt that this reason was not well found. The investor is usually the one who holds the initiative. How can there be any really urgent things that need to be dealt with in this short period of time?The more you think about this reason, the more clumsy it becomes. A knowledgeable person will know that this is just an excuse for refusing to meet.

Liang Sizhe himself also invests in movies, will he realize that this is an excuse... Cheng Duan looked at Liang Sizhe who was sitting on a chair waiting for makeup with a guilty conscience. He could not see any emotional changes on his face, so he could only comfort himself that Liang Sizhe was not much. think.

The makeup artist came over with a toolbox to put on Liang Sizhe's makeup. Liang Sizhe looked down at the planning book for the makeup photo, in which were a few amateurs dressed up as in the movie, demonstrating various poses.He flipped through it quickly, and then put the planning book on the table at hand.

Liang Sizhe's face has never needed much makeup, but because his role in the film this time is an antisocial kidnapper, a hysterical villain, the shadow on his face is particularly important.In addition, the most important feature of the character is that there is a scar across the left face, extending from the corner of the eye to the chin, which looks like a bloody tear.

The make-up artist bent down and carefully sketched Liang Sizhe's left face. An episode of the movie was played in the studio, wild and flamboyant jazz music. The left hand on the arm of the chair beats lightly to the rhythm of the song.

"Okay," the makeup artist withdrew his hands and put the tools back on the table, "Mr. Liang, open your eyes and take a look."

Liang Sizhe stopped the movement of his hands, opened his eyes and looked at the mirror in front of him, slightly turned his left cheek, "This scar suits me quite well." He smiled.
