Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 289: Unintentional
When Jiang Yilei and his three companions arrived at the Hyatt Hotel in a taxi, they looked out the window at the West Lake, which has attracted countless literati and poets throughout the ages.
Even the well-informed Huo Nifang couldn't help but say in surprise: "Wow, this boss is so generous that he actually opened a room for us here."
"I've been to so many film crews, but I've never been treated this way. In the entertainment industry, I guess only first-line stars or top stars get this kind of treatment."
Now, even though their Weibo accounts have hundreds of thousands of followers, they are still unknown internet celebrities in the entire Weibo platform.
Just like Huo Nifang's status in the entertainment industry is generally dispensable, but this attention and treatment made them feel great sincerity.
Thinking of this, Huo Nifang's beautiful eyes sparkled with a different kind of brilliance, as if... compared to being a star, being an internet celebrity seemed to have great potential.
After all, compared to the complicated and intricate entertainment industry, the emerging circle of internet celebrities is still uncertain and there are still infinite possibilities.
Although, compared to celebrities, internet celebrities seem to be at the lower end of the contempt chain and are even more despised, but... it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
It's all fame and fortune, so why bother distinguishing between the high and the low? Huo Nifang couldn't help but make some calculations in her heart.
Listening to her best friend's words, Jiang Yile showed a sincere smile on her face. This was the first time she truly felt that she was valued since she graduated from college.
Although she was an excellent student in the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama, she realized after entering society that this diploma was not as useful as she had imagined.
It was precisely the repeated setbacks in the workplace that prompted Jiang Yile to choose to continue his postgraduate studies. Since his diploma was not valuable enough, he could only continue to gild his diploma and increase his accumulation.
This may be one of the few upward channels available to ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, the flowers she planted with care did not bloom, but the willows she planted unintentionally grew into a shade. This unintentional video creation may become a breakthrough in her career.
Jiang Yilei's boyfriend Xu Bin, who was sitting in the front row, murmured in confusion: "Such a big event, could it be that the boss has taken a fancy to you guys?"
Perhaps because men understand men, Xu Bin could only think of the most likely possibility in his little head.
Huo Nifang chuckled and lifted the hair beside her ear, "It's not impossible. After all, I still have some charm."
In terms of appearance alone , even Huo Nifang, who is outside the 18th line of the entertainment industry, is far superior to Jiang Yilei. Especially after she grew her hair long, she became even more gentle and charming. She was once named "school belle" in the Central Academy of Drama.
However, as we all know, there are at least 800 beauties in every art school, if not a thousand, so let’s not talk about their value.
Xu Bin couldn't help but feel relieved. Yes, even if the boss had that idea, he would definitely be interested in a beauty like Huo Nifang from the Central Academy of Drama, not his ordinary girlfriend Jiang Yile.
The sense of crisis in his heart immediately dissipated. Of course, he couldn't say it directly. Xu Bin could only say it in a formality: "That's not necessarily true. I think our Yi Lei is better looking..."
"That's right, after all, she is your sweetheart...hehe," Huo Nifang joked, and Jiang Yilei rolled his eyes at her.
The three of them walked into the magnificent hotel lobby while laughing and joking. At this moment, a beautiful and mature woman came up to them. She smiled slightly, revealing her deep dimples, like a ripe peach, charming and seductive.
"Hello, you must be Miss Jiang Yilei, right? I'm Mr. Zhou's assistant. Mr. Zhou and his team have been waiting for a long time, so they specially asked me to come down to pick you up."
The three of them looked at each other and had completely dispelled their previous joking speculation. Even though they had never met the boss before, just looking at this assistant was enough to prove how ridiculous their speculation was.
"Ah, it's me. I'm sorry to have kept Mr. Zhou and others waiting for so long." Looking at the radiant Li Jiana, Jiang Yile said anxiously.
Li Jiana smiled faintly, motioned for them to follow, and then led the way. As her figure swayed, the mature and seductive aura became stronger and stronger.
Jiang Yilei couldn't help but look at her boyfriend beside her. Xu Bin's eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look directly at her. After all, the twisting peach in front of him was really hard to control his eyes.
Huo Nifang suddenly felt that her only remaining advantage was gone, and she could only follow behind silently.
The group took the elevator and soon arrived at a door. Li Jiana knocked on the door and then pushed it open and entered.
This is the executive suite specially opened for Xu Ruoan. There is a reception room in the room. At this moment, Zhou Dongsheng is having a pleasant conversation with Xu Ruoan.
"Come on, Miss Jiang. Don't be shy and take a seat. Thank you for coming all the way from the capital..." Zhou Dongsheng smiled gently and said in a friendly manner.
"Mr. Zhou, you are too polite." Jiang Yilei smiled stiffly, and then the three of them took their seats obediently, but they couldn't help but look at Zhou Dongsheng.
They are so young! No wonder Xiaorenren Media has investment from Principal Wang, it turns out they are all second-generations from the same circle.
This consensus appeared in the minds of the three of them at the same time. After all, this explanation was relatively reasonable.
"Let's introduce each other. This is Mr. Xu from Yi Nian Media. Xu Ruoan used to be the vice president of an artist management company. He has brought out many well-known artists. Managing artists is also Mr. Xu's strong point..."
Zhou Dongsheng introduced her casually, then pointed at Jiang Yilei and said to Xu Ruoan: "This is the amazing woman I told you about. You have also seen the video. I am still very optimistic about her personal video style. She is definitely a potential stock."
Jiang Yilei was so flattered by Zhou Dongsheng's praise in person that he didn't realize the underlying meaning of Zhou Dongsheng's words.
Huo Nifang, who was standing by, was more perceptive and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhou, the video account was created by the two of us together..."
Jiang Yilei came back to his senses at this time and said quickly: "Yes, and Huo Nifang has been a child star since she was young. She has rich experience in this area and has given me a lot of help in the creative process. This video account is owned by us together..."
Zhou Dongsheng admired the deep sisterly love between the two. During the previous conversation, he already knew that "TCgirls" was two people.
However, compared to the video account with hundreds of thousands of followers, Zhou Dongsheng's interest is obviously in Jiang Yilei as a person, or more accurately, the IP "Papi Jiang" which has not yet been born.
Compared to the people behind the scenes, Jiang Yilei is the extraordinary woman who stands in front of the stage, enjoys the spotlight effect, and leaves a deep impression on countless audiences.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng had little interest in the video account with only a few hundred thousand followers, and was bound to push Jiang Yilei to go solo.
"This is irrelevant. We are not trying to cultivate a star in the entertainment industry, but a rising star in the Internet celebrity world. From this point of view, Miss Jiang's personal characteristics are undoubtedly more prominent."
"In order to magnify Miss Jiang's personal characteristics, only Miss Jiang will stand in the spotlight. This will undoubtedly be more conducive to your display of personal talents."
"As for the video account with more than 100,000 followers, I don't care about it. The company will set up a new independent account for Miss Jiang."
Zhou Dongsheng's casual words made Huo Nifang suddenly feel a little ridiculous. Those small achievements that she was proud of seemed to be completely unworthy of mention in the eyes of some people...
