When did this happen?
Xiao He took the envelope in shock. "Sister Liu, you really are my sister! That's amazing!"
Liu Rulan said with a smile, "That's because you're narrow-minded. New connections are never as useful as established ones. Have you forgotten that besides Director Yang Li, you already know many other directors and producers in the industry?"
There's absolutely no need to feel inferior about having connections!
Others have their own playing styles, and they naturally have their own.
"I did put in a lot of effort to make contact about this matter some time ago,"
Liu Rulan said casually, "Fortunately, I was lucky enough to get in touch with a leader at the State Administration of Radio and Television and ask him to help with the recommendation."
Xiao He clicked his tongue in amazement: "Sister Liu, how are you so amazing?"
What does it matter if you're just a classmate or you're involved in Jingyou Entertainment? Nothing compares to finding the right client!
After all, the project was an important support task assigned by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and Jingyou Entertainment was just the party responsible for delivering the plan and content, that is, the contractor.
They've now bypassed the second party and directly asked the first party for a spot. Those who wanted to take advantage of the situation to snatch his spot probably won't have the chance.
"Not only that."
Liu Rulan placed her phone in front of Xiao He: "There's also the matter of Yun Ziqi."
Xiao He hadn't paid attention to the situation online on his way back, but now, hearing Liu Rulan's words, he opened the message board in front of him with a mixture of curiosity and doubt.
【Yun Ziqi withdraws from the "Snowy Ridge Red Road" production team? Suspected sensitive identity!】
A glance at the comments below reveals that the argument has already reached a fever pitch.
It turns out that someone initially revealed that Yun Ziqi had withdrawn from the "Snow Ridge °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° Red Road" production team, and fans stood up for Yun Ziqi. However, soon after, someone dug up some negative information about Yun Ziqi from the past.
It was only then that people discovered that Yun Ziqi had previously revealed that he was a descendant of the Plain Yellow Banner, with his elders holding high social status and a prominent family, making him a true "Beijing native".
In the early days, people might have just been curious, amused, or exclaimed in amazement. But now the tide has turned. People mostly feel sarcasm and disgust towards descendants of this kind of background. In particular, having a descendant of a family steeped in feudal class and flaunting their noble lineage play the role of a Long March hero who opposes feudalism and oppression and is worthy of respect is like dancing on the public's sore spot.
So everyone stopped feeling sorry for Yun Ziqi and instead felt relieved for the production team, thankful that they discovered the problem in time and kicked him out.
Once this news spread, Yun Ziqi's team, who originally wanted to play the victim, was immediately besieged and ridiculed by netizens, who focused their attention on Yun Ziqi's family background.
Now, I'm afraid Yun Ziqi won't be able to do anything when he goes back; he'll be overwhelmed with dealing with the stupid things he said back then.
Xiao He was thrilled.
The lingering frustration from the journey completely vanished.
Yes, seeing the other person suffer is so refreshing.
"Sister Liu, your angle on bringing up old grievances is truly unique, and your mind works incredibly fast."
Xiao He praised it.
What makes Yun Ziqi so difficult to deal with is that over the past seventeen years, there have been countless scandals involving him, a mix of truth and falsehood. Yet, despite his numerous roles, outstanding abilities, and the fact that he hasn't crossed any legal lines, he still manages to avoid such situations.
So his fans followed his ups and downs, truly devoted to him. Even though passersby had heard about his scandals, he could still attract a large audience when his related films and television shows were broadcast.
Therefore, Yun Ziqi's strength is not because he relies on the halo built up by his family background like Qin Lezhang, attracting fans to blindly follow him, but because of his own strength, which is the confidence he has accumulated over seventeen years of hard work in the industry.
As the saying goes, strength is the only true currency.
This is why Yun Ziqi has been able to remain in the entertainment industry despite his repeated moral failings.
However, Xiao He did not expect that Sister Liu's ability to dredge up old grievances was so powerful, turning a minor issue that no one cared about back then into a major issue that everyone is sensitive about now.
That's really impressive.
"It's nothing, I just gave a few pointers, I didn't do it myself."
Liu Rulan shrugged.
"I see." Xiao He said in surprise, "So you told Jiang Junjie the truth about this? Oh, no, Jiang Junjie has no chance to fight back now... So you told Yun Ziqi's rival?"
Liu Rulan raised a finger and shook it with a half-smile: "Yes and no."
Who is that?
Xiao He was puzzled.
"Director Ding."
"Ding Cheng? Didn't he just work with Yun Ziqi to get Jiang Junjie arrested? Yun Ziqi gave all his roles in'Snow Ridge Red Road' to Ding Cheng, and this kid still betrays us?"
"Hehe, I just told him that as long as he's on our side, you'll voluntarily withdraw from the competition for Director Yang's recommendation spot."
Liu Rulan chuckled: "You know, Ding Cheng can help Yun Ziqi get Jiang Junjie without hesitation for the sake of resources, so by the same token, he can also agree to help us without hesitation for the sake of resources."
Xiao He:?
Good grief, you've even started trying to get something for nothing?
Liu Rulan blinked innocently as well; "Based on the behavior of these people from Jingyou Entertainment, they probably don't know that Director Yang already has someone in mind, and you're not even in the competition for this spot. But it's still pretty good for fooling people."
Xiao He's lips twitched.
Therefore, Ding Cheng, for the sake of a vain spot in Director Yang's hands, decisively betrayed Yun Ziqi and prepared to do something big.
"They know their own business, and don't you think it's more enjoyable to sit on a high platform and watch them fight like dogs than to take action yourself?"
Liu Rulan put away her phone, a cold smile appearing on her face, making her look incredibly handsome.
—That really felt like Xiao He.
Even without hacking skills or extraordinary abilities, Sister Liu can leverage her knowledge and existing connections to acquire resources, launch counterattacks, and even outmaneuver her enemies, watching them fight like dogs...
Xiao He sighed deeply.
This is truly a game-changer for them.
Liu Rulan completely ignored Xiao He's admiring gaze and tapped her finger on the table beside her: "I will continue to keep an eye on this matter. Compared to trivial issues, you should be focusing on this right now—"
The file on the desktop was none other than Director Yang's official invitation letter to them—
...
A few days later.
Chengdu, high in a snow-capped mountain.
The group, carrying equipment and props, slowly climbed up the mountain.
At this moment, the mountaintop was just beginning to lighten, with part of it still hidden in the thick fog, and the entire horizon seemed to have completely merged with the snow-capped mountains.
At the same time, on the distant horizon, a ray of newly risen sunlight pierced through the thick fog.
Before the photographer could even catch his breath, he quickly raised his camera and started snapping away.
Xiao He stood atop the mountain, his eyes fixed on the beautiful scenery.
As expected of a nationally renowned snow-capped mountain, looking out from here, you see snow-capped mountains in the distance, and even further away, snow-covered pine and cypress ridges, layer upon layer, with the trees piled high with white snow, and the bushes under the trees also covered with snowflakes. As the mountain wind sweeps by, the snow falls softly, and the branches of the entire mountain sway gently.
The director behind him asked with delight, "Hey, the timing is perfect! Mr. Xiao, are you ready?"
Xiao He immediately rechecked his equipment and protective goggles, then turned to the director and gave him a thumbs up.
They are currently filming a documentary-style short film called "Flying Over the Snow Mountain." The name doesn't have any special meaning; it's just a short documentary showcasing the scenery of the snow-capped mountains. There isn't much of a plot; it mainly features the male protagonist leading the camera through the snow-capped mountains, showing everyone the magnificent scenery.
—It’s not just other places that have vast snow-capped mountains and ski resorts; Province C also boasts snow-capped mountains and beautiful scenery that rival those of other places!
To put it simply, this is a promotional short film about scenery, which not only meets the requirements for the official snow mountain series of cultural tourism short films, but also promotes snow mountains and sports, making it a win-win situation.
The only potential problem is that skiing in the snow-capped mountains requires real-life filming, so the actors' basic skiing skills are required to be quite high.
Isn't that a coincidence?
Carrying the invitation letter from Director Yang and the professional certificates he had taken some time to study, Xiao He hardly needed to talk to anyone. After just one interview, the cultural and tourism department immediately told Xiao He to pack up and go up the mountain.
Well, time is tight and the task is heavy, so let's not say anything and start filming!
Xiao He:...Alright, let's go!
