Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 71 Be careful

He hadn't seen Song Ci's face clearly from a distance, but now that they were so close, he could finally see her face clearly. She was very handsome and dashing, a true example of someone blessed by God.

Song Ci guessed that Yu Xin was probably Gao Yuanyuan's agent or someone who approached her to try and persuade her to become an artist or to gather information, so he couldn't be bothered with him.

Yu Xin was slightly embarrassed. He hadn't expected the other party to be so aloof and completely ignore him. He could only subtly wink at Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan felt helpless, but maintained a polite smile. Yu Xin had been very stubborn, insisting on dragging her along, apparently wanting her to handle public relations again. "Is this young man also an employee of Tengda Culture?"

Song Ci glanced at Gao Yuanyuan speechlessly. He didn't think he would have any interaction with Gao Yuanyuan in the future. He came here to relax and have some peace and quiet. You are a big star who doesn't even know me. Your attitude was so obvious just now. Why are you asking me all sorts of questions? Is that appropriate?

Song Ci, sparing with words, replied calmly, "I suppose so."

Song Ci's indifference only fueled Gao Yuanyuan's competitive spirit. "I'm a female celebrity, and you take the initiative to talk to me, acting all high and mighty with an indifferent attitude? Is that appropriate?"

"Do you recognize me, sir?"

“I know her, Gao Yuanyuan, the female lead in ‘So Young,’ but she’s not related to me. Those people over there are leaders from Beiping TV. I suggest you go and get to know this gentleman.” Song Ci pointed to where Wang Jing was.

Gao Yuanyuan wanted to say something more, but Yu Xin saw that Song Ci really had no desire to talk, so there was no need to make a fool of himself. He quickly said, "I'm sorry to have bothered you, young brother. We'll meet again someday."

After saying that, he pulled Gao Yuanyuan away and went to find another person to talk to in the banquet hall.

Before leaving, Gao Yuanyuan turned back and glared fiercely at Song Ci, making a mental note of this handsome young man who had shown her disdain, and preparing to ask Qiao Zhengyu to find out his identity.

In a corner of the venue, Wang Jing was talking with the director of the film and television procurement center of Beiping Satellite TV. "Director Zhang, thank you for your support this time."

Director Zhang, who was quite portly, replied politely, "It's all thanks to Director Li's excellent leadership. We can continue to cooperate with Tengda if they have any good TV series in the future."

As a newly established film and television company, Tengda Culture had not been tested by the market, yet its first self-produced drama was able to be broadcast directly on satellite TV, which was due to Wang Jing's connections.

One of the deputy directors of Beiping TV was a colleague of his father in the propaganda system in his early years. It was because of this connection that "So Young" was able to rise to fame overnight.

Of course, the leader's efforts can only get the TV station to give it a chance. There is nothing wrong with the subject matter and plot of "So Young". It was the TV station's purchasing center that decided to buy the film for broadcast after reviewing it at multiple levels.

Excluding CCTV, among all satellite TV channels in the country, Beiping TV ranks fourth in overall viewership ratings, and has a certain foundation in terms of audience popularity and influence.

This is a perfect opportunity for Tengda Culture to establish a long-term and stable partnership. Even if it's not during prime time, as long as the TV dramas produced can be guaranteed a stable broadcasting platform, it will greatly benefit the company's development.

The success of "So Young" gave Wang Jing a lot of confidence. Since Director Zhang was willing to continue the cooperation, Wang Jing naturally agreed and was already considering selling the follow-up "My Old Classmate" to Beiping TV.

As night fell, the celebration banquet for "So Young" slowly came to a close. Actors, directors, and crew members raised their glasses in toasts, looking forward to their next collaboration.

Winter in Beiping is like an ink wash painting, with the world filled with the purity and tranquility of ice and snow. The cold air seems to be imbued with a profound historical heritage and a unique cultural atmosphere.

After New Year's Day, the weather grew increasingly cold, and in the evenings, Peking University students flocked to the warm study rooms to study, making the most of their time to prepare for the upcoming final exams. Song Ci was intently staring at his laptop screen, which was filled with study materials on international foreign exchange.

"Song Ci, is someone sitting next to you?" The voice was soft and pleasant.

Perhaps because he had been staring at the screen for a long time, Song Ci's eyes were a little swollen. After rubbing his eye sockets to relieve the soreness, he looked up and saw Shen Sisi smiling at him.

Miss Shen was wearing a long white down jacket, her long hair cascading down her shoulders. She held several books in her hands and wore a dark blue scarf around her neck, exuding elegance and grace.

"No one's sitting here, are you here for evening self-study too?" After more than a month of getting to know each other, the two gradually became friends, and Song Ci's attitude towards Shen Sisi was no longer as cold as before.

Upon hearing Song Ci's words, Shen Sisi gently replied, "It's almost time for final exams, so I came here to review my lessons."

She placed the book on the table, gently pulled out the chair, unzipped her down jacket and hung it on the back of the chair, revealing a pink sweater underneath, showing off her shapely figure.

She then sat obediently next to Song Ci, a bright smile on her face.

After opening her textbook, Shen Sisi lowered her voice and quietly asked, "Song Ci, why did you leave the book club group?"

A while ago, Shen Sisi and her roommate Sun Jingyi created a book club group. Song Ci joined the group at first, but she suddenly left the group the day before yesterday. The book club members were all asking her what happened to the group owner.

"The group was too noisy and there was nothing of importance in it, so I left the group."

Fearing that Shen Sisi might misunderstand, Song Ci explained that he had only joined the group out of curiosity, but after the group members learned his QQ number, people kept trying to add him as a friend, which bothered him so much that he simply left the group.

"Oh!" Shen Sisi replied disappointedly. She found that Song Ci was indeed aloof and arrogant, and he was indifferent to people he didn't know well. She had to beg and plead with him for a month before he would patiently say a few words to her.

Seeing Song Ci intently looking at the computer again, Shen Sisi thought to herself, "What a blockhead. I don't know how Little Lion won him over. I guess I have to trick Little Lion and learn from her."

She was confident that her looks and figure were no less than Liu Shishi's, but Song Ci's attitude towards her was so illogical. With such a beauty sitting next to her, she acted as if she didn't exist!

Shen Sisi absentmindedly flipped through a calculus book. The study room was quiet, and everyone was studying. However, after only ten minutes, she became bored and lay slumped over her book. Her purpose for tonight was not to study.

"What's wrong, Shen Sisi?" Song Ci noticed that the girl next to her suddenly slumped onto the table and thought she was not feeling well. After all, she was a friend and asked with concern.

Hearing Song Ci's concerned question, Shen Sisi had a sudden inspiration and pretended to be dejected, saying, "Advanced mathematics is too difficult. I don't know how to do these questions at all. I feel like I'm going to fail."

It turned out that he wasn't feeling unwell, so Song Ci casually replied, "Don't worry, learn as much as you can, and you can retake any failed courses."

Shen Sisi was furious. How could anyone say such things? Seeing that Song Ci was ignoring her again, she gritted her teeth and decided to take the initiative.
