Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 56 Two-Time Sisters

After leaving the Qin Palace, Song Ci glanced at her watch. Although it was only a little before 4 p.m., there wasn't enough time to visit other attractions. "Shishi, let's go back to the hotel."

"No, no, you start writing the script as soon as you get back to the hotel. We're already out here, don't rush to work, come and walk around with me a bit more." Liu Shishi shook Song Ci's arm, pleading with him.

Faced with the lively and playful poet, Song Ci naturally couldn't refuse, saying, "Okay, okay, don't shake me, I'll stay with you."

Seeing that the young man agreed, Liu Shishi smiled and happily strolled around Hengdian with him.

Hengdian is actually not very big; it's just a small town. Liu Shishi had no destination and simply wandered around aimlessly, with Song Ci accompanying her as she went.

"Why didn't I run into a single celebrity?" Liu Shishi was very disappointed. She had originally thought she would meet a few celebrities and was even thinking of getting some autographs.

After thinking for a moment, Song Ci guessed, "Celebrities are probably all filming at the filming locations. Even in Hengdian, it's impossible to run into them casually."

He wasn't really clear on the specifics of Hengdian. Although he had seen many actors' movies and TV shows in his previous life, he wasn't a fan of celebrities, so he didn't know anything about things like celebrity schedules that he hadn't researched.

Only a few can become famous. Hengdian is mostly filled with unknown supporting actors and extras. Wang Baoqiang is the only one who became famous from humble beginnings. It is indeed quite rare to bump into a celebrity.

After wandering around for a long time, I didn't run into any famous people. The only building I saw that was somewhat famous was the Tangren Film and Television branch. However, Song Ci and Liu Shishi saw the Tangren Pavilion, not the Little White Building that will become very famous in the future.

Tangren Media's Hengdian branch actually consists of two parts: Tangren Studio and Xiaobailou. Tangren Studio is located on Shili Street, with a total area of ​​over 6000 square meters. The first floor is a photography studio, and the second floor houses the costume rooms, makeup rooms, and offices.

The Little White Building was built not long ago and is not well-known yet. The first floor houses the offices of various departments of Tangren Media, makeup rooms, costume rooms, and post-production studios. The second and third floors are accommodation rooms, about 35 in total, which are the usual accommodations for actors filming Tangren Media dramas in Hengdian.

Song Ci suddenly glanced at Miss Liu and remembered reading a post in her previous life that when Tangren was filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the entire crew stopped filming because Hu Ge was in a car accident.

Liu Shishi, who played Mu Nianci, had nothing to do and spent her days playing video games in the Little White Building, which made her eyesight worse. Her eyes looked increasingly lifeless during filming.

Some time ago, Wang Jing mentioned to him whether Tengda Culture should also follow Tangren Film and Television's example and open a branch in Hengdian. Now, land in Hengdian is extremely valuable, and the longer it is delayed, the higher the cost of opening a branch will be. As the company develops, opening a branch in Hengdian is a must.

In its previous life, more than 300 film and television companies across the country, including Huayi Brothers and Enlight Media, bought land and built buildings in Hengdian to open branches and offices.

Now that Tengda Culture has started filming, they can easily open a branch in Hengdian, just like Tangren Media, to provide a place for the company's and crew's artists to stay. Their own territory is more private and safer than staying in a hotel.

Thinking of this Song Dynasty poem, I couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, every industry eventually has to return to real estate, and the headquarters building of Tengda Group should be built as soon as possible."

Sun Li is currently very troubled. In March of this year, she registered her marriage with her boyfriend Huang Sanshi, whom she had been dating for nine years. Their long-standing love has finally come to fruition. She plans to retire from acting after filming "Chinese Paladin" and return to her family to take good care of her husband.

However, her boss, Cai Yinong, has been trying to persuade her to continue her acting career as the company's leading lady. He hopes she won't retire too early in her prime. He even came all the way from Donghai to Hengdian today to talk to her again, which puts her in a difficult position. The "Chinese Paladin" crew is currently filming in Hengdian, shooting the final scenes. She plays Lin Qing'er in "Chinese Paladin," and her scenes will wrap up in about ten days.

It was rare that she had relatively few scenes today, and after successfully finishing filming, she strolled around Hengdian alone to sort out her thoughts.

Sun Li strolled alone on the streets of Hengdian, watching the tourists and extras coming and going. She felt a little self-deprecating. Her career was not very successful. She had been in the industry for five years and acted in a few TV series, but she had never become popular. She knew that her fame was limited because she was not recognized on the street.

Sun Li was eating at a small restaurant on the street. The owner, Cai Yinong, had just spoken to her on the phone and would arrive in Hengdian in an hour. So she planned to go back to the company's white building after dinner and wait for Cai Yinong to come.

"Excuse me, are you Teacher Sun Li?" A soft, sweet female voice entered her ears. Sun Li looked up and saw a pretty young girl standing next to her dining table, staring at her expectantly.

"I'm Sun Li, hello young lady." Guessing that the girl in front of him might be a fan who recognized him, Sun Li smiled and said in a friendly manner.

"It really is you, Teacher Sun! I couldn't believe I was going to run into you here."

The girl seemed very excited. After speaking, she turned around and waved to the door, calling out, "Yi Yi, come in quickly."

Upon hearing this, Sun Li looked towards the door and saw a young man standing there, probably the girl's companion. He had also entered the restaurant after hearing the girl's call.

As the man approached, Sun Li gradually saw his appearance clearly. He had a handsome face and bright eyes, and was really good-looking, completely surpassing male celebrities in the industry. However, he was expressionless and looked a bit aloof.

"Teacher Sun, may we sit at your table?" the little girl asked timidly.

“Sure.” Sun Li has a very easygoing personality and a gentle voice.

The girl pulled her friend to sit opposite Sun Li, and introduced herself with a sweet smile: "Teacher Sun, my name is Liu Shishi, this is my friend Song Ci. I have seen you act in 'The Book and the Sword', and my family and I like you very much."

The couple in front of Sun Li were none other than Song Ci and Liu Shishi, who were strolling around Hengdian. Miss Liu, with her sharp eyes, said she had spotted an actor at a restaurant and insisted on going over to confirm, which led to the scene just now.

"Thank you for your support. What would you like to eat? It's on me." Feeling the girl's sincerity, Sun Li replied happily.

"Hello, Teacher Sun, no need, you're too kind." Song Ci sized up Sun Li without making a sound, and greeted her politely. This was the first celebrity he had seen since his rebirth, besides Shi Ye, and he felt that her appearance and temperament were indeed outstanding.

Coincidentally, both of them are top actresses at Tangren Media. They had just passed by the Tangren store and were now accompanying the future top actress to meet the current top actress. Fate is truly wonderful.

Song Ci didn't let Sun Li treat her. After asking what Shi Ye wanted to eat, she ordered two rice bowls and sat quietly to the side, listening to Shi Ye and Sun Li chat.
