SFS Chapter 218 It was just a charade.
Chapter 218 It was just a charade.
"No, not at all. I'm sorry, I just came back from abroad and haven't had much opportunity to work with mainland Chinese films and television."
Although Sheng Hanyu said something in denial, her attitude was fairly sincere.
Even if he's rude, probably no one would dare to have a problem with him...
Yin Junqi was stunned. So that meant he could tell that he had plastic surgery?
Cosmetic surgery has its pros and cons. The advantage is that you look better on camera, but the disadvantage is that you're always afraid that someone will find out someday.
But since the surgery has already been done, it's impossible to remove the implants right away.
He cautiously probed a few more times, and when he found that Sheng Hanyu seemed to have only glanced at him casually, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a golden opportunity, we must hold on tight!
Yin Junqi has some works to his name, but his acting skills and appearance are not particularly outstanding. However, he is well-liked and, in other words, he is good at navigating social circles.
Take, for example, the kind of event organized by Nangong Wang who doesn't give any prior notice. Even if he has scenes to film that night, he'll pretend to be sick and cancel them to come.
At this moment, as he looked at Sheng Hanyu, who was using tea instead of wine to deal with everyone's toasts, countless plans to get closer to her flashed through his mind.
What factors are needed for one man to get closer to another man?
Cigarettes, alcohol, and women.
Sheng Hanyu pushed away the cigarette offered to her, so she probably doesn't smoke.
The fact that he now uses tea instead of alcohol doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't like drinking. After all, when toasting at a dinner table, the alcohol itself isn't the main point.
As for women...
His rumored affair with Ye Sanqing is still trending at the very bottom of the hot search list.
However, Yin Junqi clearly doesn't believe in genuine feelings in the entertainment industry. He's just unsure whether Sheng Hanyu is truly interested in Ye Sanqing or if she's just using this as a publicity stunt.
However, if we assume that Sheng Hanyu has no romantic experience, why doesn't he label himself as an "innocent puppy" before debuting?
It's important to know that this tag attracts a lot of traffic, and it's also time-sensitive, meaning that people will only buy into it if you're young and just starting out.
If someone has been in the industry for eight or ten years and still claims to be an innocent, puppy-like guy, nobody would believe it.
So, given how convenient this is, surely the other party, being in the entertainment industry, wouldn't be unaware of it. Why is this happening? Could it be... fear of a public scandal?
Yes, since the other party is studying abroad, they might actually be involved in something much bigger.
Even if problems such as a chaotic private life are exposed later, it is easy to brush it off with a line like "I never said I was innocent".
Given that the Chinese entertainment industry is generally lenient towards male celebrities, and Sheng Hanyu is single, he might even be able to cultivate a very rare and charming playboy persona.
As for Ye Sanqing?
Although she is now the third young lady of the Ye family, was she innocent before?
Ye Sanqing had spent two years working independently in the entertainment industry before that...
It's common knowledge that people without connections have to pay a heavy price to get into the entertainment industry...
Even if there are powerful figures behind them, it's only relatively clean.
To succeed in the entertainment industry, you need the courage to struggle in the mud and the ruthlessness to drag everyone else down to step on your own.
Therefore, Yin Junqi's final conclusion was that the two of them were probably just putting on an act.
If this method can generate buzz, why not use it?
While Yin Junqi was pondering these things, Sheng Hanyu observed him discreetly.
In her previous life, Sheng Hanyu didn't pay much attention to entertainment news, but she remembered that the other person had won the Best Actor award, and could recall some fragmented information.
The film for which Yin Junqi won the award was probably filmed this year and released next year. It won the domestic award some time later.
However, at the same time, there were also reports of him stealing resources, bullying male actors in the same group, adding scenes for others, and having scandals with female actors in the same group.
These news items barely made a splash and were immediately suppressed.
So Sheng Hanyu only glanced at it at the time, and it's already quite remarkable that she can remember so much now.
So, does that mean the other person hasn't joined the group yet?
If the resources were stolen, then there were hidden victims in this incident, but the news at the time didn't mention them at all.
With this in mind, Sheng Hanyu decided to test the waters.
But instead of asking directly, he turned to Nangong Wang next to him and started talking about film and television resources for the rest of the year.
Although Nangong Wang is not in the entertainment industry, he somehow knows about some capital trends and the hot topics of the year.
For him, understanding hot trends and then making investments is also basic common sense.
At this moment, Sheng Hanyu wanted to chat, and Nangong Wang, oblivious to his presence, immediately poured out all the information he knew.
As they talked, they also mentioned the drama "The Phoenix Cries and Subdues Demons" that Ye Sanqing was about to join.
"Casting has already begun. Ren Zhengfei has really gone all out this time. Apart from the director and screenwriter, they are all his old team members. He has also promoted the open auditions a lot."
"...However, their work is a martial arts story, so the industry generally doesn't have a very high opinion of it."
Nangong Wang didn't think he was saying anything important, and he didn't seem to care if others overheard him.
To put it bluntly, even if you hear it, what difference will it make? Can a tiny nobody really shake the tide of capital?
Sheng Hanyu, on the other hand, wasn't very concerned about this issue; to him, it was simply Ye Sanqing's choice.
As for whether the choice will result in good or bad?
Since the Ye family has invested, the costumes, props, and sets will definitely be of high quality; at least the hardware aspects will be top-notch.
As for the software...
Even Sheng Luoxin knew how persistent Ren Junxiao was in pursuing his martial arts dream.
Ren Junxiao missed out on Sheng Luoxin back then, failing to make the martial arts film he dreamed of, a regret he still carries to this day.
Therefore, Sheng Hanyu did not believe that Ren Junxiao would joke about his lifelong dream. In addition, he had a good reputation as a producer. It was unlikely that he would only start to make mistakes when he got to the part he wanted to do the most.
Everyone knows that the market today doesn't favor martial arts films, but it's precisely in this situation that Sheng Hanyu admires those who go against the tide.
If everyone rushes to chase trends, perhaps some high-quality products can be created, but most of them will just be mass-produced garbage.
The martial arts genre should never be buried.
Speaking of which...
Thinking of this, Sheng Hanyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Forgetting that she originally intended to test Yin Junqi, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Ye Sanqing.
[I have a question for you. Do you have any martial arts dramas that would be suitable for my dad?]
[This is a bit sudden, let me think about it]
Ye Sanqing quickly replied, but there has been no further response for the time being.
Sheng Hanyu knew that the other party was always meticulous in doing things, so she wasn't in a hurry and casually placed the phone face down on the table.
He himself didn't notice, but his actions were actually being observed by those around him.
Everyone immediately realized that this martial arts drama must be more complex than it sounds!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent a message at this time!
There are also those who think the opposite, such as Sheng Hanyu wanting to withdraw her investment in the drama as soon as she heard Nangong Wang's words.
In the end, can feelings really not compete with money?
In short, all sorts of people were thinking all sorts of random things, but only Yin Junqi, sitting next to her, clearly saw the expression on Sheng Hanyu's face.
He seems to be looking forward to something. What is he looking forward to?
Why have expectations when Nangong Wang doesn't have a positive outlook?
Yin Junqi's mind raced.
It seems like I might need to get involved in this martial arts drama.
