Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Domestically, with the Best Director award going to "The Rebirth," articles that had been prepared long ago were released by domestic marketing accounts and online trolls.

The overwhelming propaganda spread like a virus across the internet, making people marvel at the power of money.

The braised pork knuckle is delicious: It seems that director Zhou You has some talent. I heard that "Rebirth" was also very well made. I'll go to the cinema to see how it turns out.

Apple and Orange Porridge: Those films that win awards abroad are all well and good, but I don't think they'll make money. Their high-brow attitude makes me crave more.

Steamed buns and dumplings in one pot: You can't say that. This is the best director, not the best film. "Rebirth" is just a realistic film. The key point is Zhou You's ability. No matter what he makes in the future, I will go to the cinema to support him.

……

The conversation smoothly shifted from the film to the director, with online trolls constantly trying to influence the narrative. After all, their goal wasn't to promote "Rebirth," a film destined to be a box office flop, but rather to elevate the director.

A previously unknown director suddenly became an overnight sensation across the Chinese internet.

Director Zhou You is currently abroad, and his filming experiences have long been dug up by busybodies, including those films he has directed and actors he has worked with, who have all come out to speak well of the director.

They said things like "conscientious and responsible," "talented," and "extraordinarily capable," and basically said everything that could and couldn't be said.

Director Zhou You probably didn't expect to be so popular. It's a well-known saying in the industry: once you become famous, you'll be surrounded by good people.

The domestic celebrations haven't affected the international scene yet. After winning the Best Director award, the Best Film award was indeed given to "The Echo of the Spring".

Jiang Hanzhou and the others smiled and applauded below, only coming out of the inner area after the event ended.

Reporters who were already waiting outside swarmed in, like sharks smelling blood, eager to push themselves to the front.

Director Zhou You seemed like a novice on the battlefield, and even though he tried to keep his composure, he was still a little dazed by the barrage of microphones and interviews.

Jiang Hanzhou tacitly stepped forward to help maintain order, while also blocking some controversial topics, and then steered the conversation toward winning the award and the upcoming arrangements.

Shen Yao watched from the side, occasionally analyzing the meaning behind Jiang Hanzhou's words with the system, telling the system not to always focus on gossip, but to look at things like this so that it could better understand humans.

system:……

The system declared itself to be nothing more than a system; what use was it to understand humanity? It cared nothing more than whether people were bored or not. This Jiang Hanzhou spoke in a roundabout way, and only the host liked to appreciate this type of thing; anyway, it couldn't stand it.

"It cannot be denied that to thrive in the entertainment industry, one must understand certain rules that this industry follows," Jiang Hanzhou perfectly combined his own thoughts with the principles that needed to be followed, while also making sure to reap the benefits for himself while implementing them.

Well

Whether they are collaborators or friends, people like this are trustworthy.

'What if it's an opponent?'

'Try to turn enemies into friends. There are so many lucrative projects in the entertainment industry, there's no need to fight tooth and nail over certain people.' These days, the idea of ​​destiny is no longer popular; it's more about flexible adjustments.

Didn't someone previously cause trouble for Jiang Hanzhou, resulting in Shen Yao being dragged into the mess? The two of them have now successfully reconciled and have even jointly invested in their next film, which is about to start shooting.

Yes, it's still directed by Zhou You, but it's a very standard commercial film. The content is the kind of story that often appears on the market. The only thing worth mentioning is that the content has a light comedic effect. If it were released at a specific time, it would have unexpectedly been a hit.

Shen Yao already knew some details about the movie, especially the plot. Although she wasn't the screenwriter, the script did have some connection to her.

Well

"Does this offer some insights? The content is mostly predictable. Even if viewers go for the name, they won't recommend it to others. They're not some fraudulent organization. Commercial films need word-of-mouth and a lot of organic traffic to make money. Relying solely on paid promoters and marketing is only a temporary solution."

Shen Yao has always known what she wants, and she still has some hope for this upcoming commercial film.

Of course, this is also partly because she invested money. Investors hope that what they invest in can make money. What's wrong with that?

system:……

The system indicated that the host's mental core remained very stable despite traversing so many worlds.

Ok

In any case, it seems I can continue to accumulate mission rewards, at least I don't have to worry about the host getting into trouble and affecting my mission progress in the short term.

It was quite late when Shen Yao returned to the hotel. She rubbed her eyes as her phone, which was lying to the side, kept ringing.

When the director of "Rebirth" won the award, not only the main creators of the film crew, but even some people who had even the slightest connection with the crew were harassed by the media and reporters. They were eager to get exclusive news that others did not know and grab the headlines, and they did not hesitate to stay up all night for this.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao still admired these people, even though she couldn't quite accept them.

He casually turned off his phone and tossed it aside, then took a warm shower.

Shen Yao opened her laptop and, disregarding the several-hour time difference with China, browsed the internet.

As expected, the headlines above were all about the crew of "Rebirth," especially director Zhou You, whose alma mater was even dug up by netizens.

Fortunately, this person is a homebody and doesn't have any other activities besides filming. Otherwise, with such a huge influx of attention, any dark history would have backfired.

However, if Zhou You has a dark past, Jiang Hanzhou wouldn't invest so many resources in him, since all that money would be included in the publicity budget, and this expense would be deducted from the final revenue sharing between the two parties.

'So you guys are this meticulous?' Wow, it thought this was a sign of sincerity in the collaboration, that every marketing effort had to be factored in.

No wonder capitalists make money; who can outsmart them?

Shen Yao smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons. "Making money is the core. Besides, this kind of marketing is also beneficial to Director Zhou You. If the next commercial film is well-made, he will have the confidence to raise investment on his own."

It was a win-win situation from the start; don't portray us as heartless and cruel.

system:……

After hesitating for a moment, the system didn't say anything more. However, judging from its unpredictable subsequent actions, the system was showing some signs of stress and began to become more sensitive to numbers.

Just like one day, the system suddenly mentioned that the total cost of this online marketing campaign was almost seven figures, comparable to the price of shooting a movie in Zhou You.

Not all directors receive a share of the profits; most directors receive a specific fee, which was the case for Zhou You's previous films.

But right now, commercial films are so deeply intertwined with vested interests that director Zhou You has no choice but to take the plunge and bet on them.

'This is the standard practice in the industry. Otherwise, how can you guarantee that the director isn't putting their heart into it? Only by linking their income to the film can you ensure that everyone puts their heart into it.' At least no one is willing to lose money.

With the plane landing safely, Shen Yao and the others finally set foot on Beijing soil.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yao stood up and straightened her slightly chilly coat. Instead of going with the film crew, she chose to leave alone.

Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua were busy entertaining their friends in Beijing. Their daughter's house renovation was going smoothly, and they wanted to enjoy it too.

"Daughter, Mom thought you wouldn't be back for a while."

Yu Shuhua doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, but the younger generation in her family likes to go online. As soon as the photos Shen Yao took at the closing ceremony were sent back to China, several of the younger family members shared them in the family group chat.

"It's so pretty, but the clothes are too thin. You must be cold," Yu Shuhua said, patting her daughter's shoulder with concern. She could feel the bones in her clothes.

"Mom, everyone dresses like this," she said, adding that she was wearing a thick fur coat over her clothes, unlike the other main cast members who were dressed for beauty but were freezing.

Shen Qingshan had already ordered the meals in advance. His family was currently staying in hotels in Beijing, and the food was all hotel specialties, which could be delivered to their doorstep with just a phone call.

As soon as the doorbell rang, the hotel staff quickly brought the food to the table.

To be honest, Shen Yao was actually quite hungry and craving food, since she could never get used to foreign cuisine no matter how much she ate.

After burying her head in her food and eating voraciously, Shen Yao only realized today that she had such a good appetite.

Yu Shuhua and Shen Qingshan were heartbroken to see their daughter eating without even looking up.

Oh dear, my daughter must have had a terrible time abroad. How can she act like she's never seen food before?

Shen Yao:......

After eating and drinking her fill, and then taking a walk downstairs with Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua, Shen Yao finally had the mind to deal with the pile of miscellaneous tasks on her phone.

It's nothing more than various text messages and phone calls. After Shen Yao turned off her phone, she kept putting it off, except for some calls she had to answer. All the others have accumulated until now.

After all, she had only heard of some of them but never seen them in person. What could Shen Yao say about trying to get close to them? She could only say that the industry was too crazy, and it was no wonder that most people would subconsciously understand and tacitly accept the existence of unspoken rules.

When people earn more money than they realize, their beliefs change. This is entirely determined by human nature. It's rare to find someone in this circle who has their own principles and bottom line.

I replied to each message and text, and for some that were quite important, I made a phone call to say a few words.

We're all colleagues in the same industry, so some of what we say may sound hypocritical, but it's certainly respectable. It's not like we don't want to continue working in this industry, so who would say something so definitive?

"It's settled then, Screenwriter Shen. Please consider our company, XX, in the future."

"Of course, XX has outstanding acting skills and is very dedicated. Director Zhou even praised him before."

"Really? Oh dear, our XX performed so well, all thanks to screenwriter Shen's help... "

Soon, the phone in her hand hung up, and Shen Yao withdrew the smile from the corner of her mouth before continuing to call the next person.

The moon rises above the eyebrows, and all is silent.

Shen Yao got up and rubbed her sore shoulders. She turned around and called the hotel staff, and a simple late-night noodle dish appeared before her.

Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua had already fallen asleep. Shen Yao turned on the desk lamp next to her and happily ate bite after bite of fresh shrimp noodles.

Ding ding ding————

It's a video call.

Jiang Hanzhou appeared on Shen Yao's screen in his pajamas, with several documents laid out beside him.

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows. "Producer Jiang, are you still this busy even after returning to China?"

Jiang Hanzhou smiled like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. "I just got back from outside and wanted to ask how you were doing?"

What's the situation?

Of course it's great!

Shen Yao smiled sweetly and shook the chopsticks she was holding in her hand, saying, "I've already taken care of things on my end. It's just that Producer Jiang still needs to work hard. Compared to me, Producer Jiang's words will be more convincing to them."

In other words, only Jiang Hanzhou's words could make these people wary.

Shen Yao's importance is still too low. Even though her relationship with Jiang Hanzhou has changed significantly, it involves private matters. As the saying goes, public and private matters should be kept separate. Even husband and wife can turn against each other when faced with real interests, let alone lovers who have not yet officially started dating.

Jiang Hanzhou rested his chin on his hand, revealing a beautiful collarbone through his pajamas. "These people really won't stop until they get what they want," he said, tapping his temple. "These next few days we need to finalize some details about the movie, including the actors we're considering. Just rest well and don't worry about these things."

Shen Yao placed both bowls on the table, and the shrimp noodles next to them had already been mostly eaten. "If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask."

The two chatted about other things while talking about the movie. When the video call ended, Shen Yao's cheeks were slightly flushed and her eyes were still moist.

call

That's why Jiang Hanzhou is so successful; he can easily utter sweet and affectionate words. Shen Yao realized that she wasn't thick-skinned enough. At least she couldn't flirt with someone she had feelings for in such a serious manner like Jiang Hanzhou.

…………

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

A new wave of excitement has swept the internet because of a newly approved commercial film.

Marketing accounts across the internet are trying to mislead fans. Unlike in the past when fans would step forward to refute rumors, this time fans are eager to help their idols secure resources, because this opportunity is indeed very attractive.

Wow~

This is a film directed by Zhou You, who just won Best Director.

With a host of investors and well-known production platforms in the industry, it's a done deal that this film will make money; no publicity is needed.

Sheep: Who will be chosen as the male and female leads? This is a real honor...

Sonoko Slippery: Yes, I want to fight for him too, but unfortunately he's still filming for several months and can't find the time at all.

Cotton, the little bird: Don't even think about it, it's definitely those talented actors, especially those who have already won awards. Those who are still struggling in the idol drama circle have no chance.

The most venomous yet kind-hearted Rongrong: Sigh, this is Director Zhou's first film after winning the Best Director award, so it's bound to be highly valued.

……

Who doesn't think that way? Including established actors, celebrities with many fans, and newly popular celebrities with some initial popularity, they're all trying their best.
