Chapter 202: A Beautiful Gold-Digger Who Wants to Cling to the Rich and Powerful (1)
It's Jingyu's birthday again this year.
Last year, Liang Heyu helped organize her birthday party. This year, Jingyu was busy filming a movie and didn’t realize it was another birthday until November 11th.
When Liang Yingqin came to the studio to find her, Jingyu was having a meeting in the conference room.
"Mr. Liang, please sit down and wait for a moment. The boss is in a meeting." The assistant took Liang Yingqin to Jingyu's office and brought him a cup of coffee.
Liang Yingqin noticed at a glance that her desk was filled with the same lucky cat ornaments.
A series of similar smiling expressions made Liang Yingqin chuckle.
"Your boss likes lucky cats?"
The assistant followed his gaze and then said, "Oh, this is it. It's a gift from a milk tea shop near the company. We often order afternoon tea from there."
Liang Yingqin: “…”
It turns out that she gave it to him because there was no more room on her desk.
...
When Jingyu came out of the conference room, she saw Liang Yingqin standing in front of the window of her office drinking coffee. After hearing the noise, he turned and looked at Jingyu.
"Brother Yingqin? Why are you here?"
Liang Yingqin took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Jingyu: "Birthday present."
"Thank you, Brother Yingqin."
When Jingyu opened it, he found a piece of jade in the shape of a goldfish. The jade was warm, smooth and crystal clear, with a restrained brilliance.
This is the appearance of this goldfish, it looks a little familiar.
Jingyu looked up in surprise: "So that tank of goldfish was given by you last year?"
Liang Yingqin was surprised: "The goldfish is not dead yet?"
Jingyu feigned anger: "Why are you cursing it? It's alive and well!"
Liang Yingqin laughed: "Sorry, my mistake."
He gave her fish and she gave him a cat.
It seemed as if she was hinting at being eaten alive by him.
Jingyu was a little dissatisfied: "What's the point of giving me a goldfish? Isn't it a pun on the name?"
Liang Yingqin said, "You also look like a goldfish."
Jingyu:?
"I look like a goldfish?"
Liang Yingqin pointed at the lucky cat and said, "You look like this lucky cat."
Jingyu: “…”
"So what if it's a gift? I'm here to help you bring wealth and fortune!"
Liang Yingqin smiled and nodded: "Well, you are right."
He looked at the row of lucky cats, counting six, seven, or eight. "With so many lucky cats, I'm going to attract more wealth than Xing Yi soon."
Jingyu was amused. "If that's the case, I can just buy a bunch of lucky cats, fill this room with them, and then sit back and collect the money."
"Why bother?" Liang Yingqin said, "Just put a bigger one."
Hearing this, Jingyu looked Liang Yingqin up and down with a malicious look, then crossed his arms and said, "A bigger lucky cat...isn't there a ready-made one here?"
Liang Yingqin: "Are you suggesting that I move my office to your place?"
Jingyu: "I support it!"
Liang Yingqin smiled and asked, "How is the project progressing?"
"It's post-production, and it will take some time to edit and compose the music," said Jingyu.
The current progress is according to plan. It is expected that all production will be completed after the new year and it will be released around September next year.
-
The production of the film was completed in early February and was sent for content review.
After obtaining the film screening license, the film was scheduled to be released in the summer season on August 8, more than half a month ahead of schedule.
After the release date was set, Jingyu began to promote the film on Weibo and cut some trailers for publicity.
The publicity was not very enthusiastic and did not make much of a splash.
Jingyu was not in a hurry. Instead, Lin Shana and Zhou Juan were anxious to contact their connections in the circle and asked some directors and producers to help with publicity.
Lu Renjia also asked the artists under his company to help promote the movie, and the three leading actors also mobilized their relatives and connections to promote the movie, which gradually gained some popularity.
[Is it the new director from last year's awards ceremony?]
[Martial arts film? It's been a long time since I've seen a martial arts film.]
[My Heart is a Rivers and Lakes? Uh...it sounds like a bad movie.]
[Is capital no longer favoring female stars but starting to favor female directors? ]
[But I have to say, the trailer is really good! Any screenshot you take is enough to set as a screensaver.]
[The trailer is all the highlights, hahaha. ]
The director is a newcomer, and all the actors are newcomers too? It's undoubtedly a terrible movie. What company needs to launder money again?
......
Most of the reviews on the Internet were rather negative, but Jingyu did not lose heart and continued to promote the work as usual, while also preparing her graduation thesis during this period.
On the day of the movie's premiere, there were not many audience members present, and many of them were crew members who came to support the event, but Jingyu still went through the process carefully with the three leading actors.
The movie "The Rivers and Lakes of My Heart" tells the story of three women from different classes who come together because of a case and grow up along the way.
The movie started to attract some discussion a few days after its release.
It wasn't until a marketing account on the platform recommended this movie that people started to watch it on their own initiative.
Although most people watched it with the mentality of whether it was a bad movie, they were actually attracted by the plot.
The story begins with the death of the emperor's favorite concubine, her body disfigured beyond recognition. The cause of the murder is determined to be a vendetta. The emperor dispatches a large number of officers from the Imperial City Bureau to investigate and apprehend the murderer, even offering a reward to the public. The protagonist, Qiu Ye, aspiring knight, sees the reward and tears it down, deciding to investigate.
Qiu Yumiao plays Qiu Ye, a heroic female warrior who fights for justice when she sees it. Her father runs a martial arts school, and she has been training with him ever since she was little, determined to become a nameless warrior who roams the world and fights evil for the people.
Zhou Xiangyi plays Zhou Lingxue, a lady from a wealthy family with disabled legs. She is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and is the most intelligent member of the team.
Zhuang Jiayin plays Zhuang Rongrong, a wealthy businessman's daughter who is willful, clever, but kind-hearted. She runs away from home to avoid getting married.
The three of them were brought together by a case of revenge killing of a concubine, and they embarked on a journey of searching for the murderer in the rivers and lakes, joking and laughing all the way.
...
The three protagonists in the film each have their own growth lines.
Qiu Ye, who seems to be chivalrous, heroic and free-spirited, actually makes a mess of her life. She always yearns for the legends in the martial arts world and wants to become one of them, but she neglects her parents and family.
As the team's wise and intelligent star, Zhou Lingxue has been trapped behind four high walls for years, and can only learn about the outside world through books. She longs for a normal body and the freedom to move around.
Rich daughter Zhuang Rongrong may not possess Qiu Ye's martial arts prowess or Zhou Lingxue's intellect, but she's quick-witted and determined. Though raised in luxury, she must sacrifice her marriage to ensure the family's continued prosperity. To escape an arranged marriage, she runs away from home, seeking her own happiness.
In addition to the three main characters, the supporting characters also have their own life paths that are worth savoring.
For example, Zhou Lingxue's father, who seems to be a pedantic scholar-official, actually has a caring and loving heart for his daughter.
For example, the emperor and his favorite concubine.
For example, the ambitious Shaoqing of the Dali Temple was gradually crushed in the officialdom and eventually became a member of the officialdom.
