When Wen Jin looks serious, there's a light in her eyes.
Ruan Jinghong is always easily captivated by her and she couldn't say the "but" that came to her lips.
Their soft lips naturally press together, letting the action convey the affection that words couldn't.
The two of them had lunch a bit late.
After the meal, Ruan Jinghong took the initiative to wash the dishes.
She bit her slightly red and swollen lips, and her face was almost as red as her lips.
When she finished her work and returned to the living room, she happened to see Wen Jin handing over a cell phone that was ringing.
"Your agent is calling you."
After finishing her work in the morning, Shen Yun was still worried about Ruan Jinghong who was sick at home alone, so she called to care about her recent situation.
After resting all morning, Ruan Jinghong's voice had recovered a lot.
She deliberately stood five steps away from Wen Jin to answer the phone, and used her eyes to stop the other party from making trouble.
Wen Jin smiled, and sat on the sofa pretending to be looking at her mobile phone, but her attention was always on her little girlfriend.
"Sister Yun, I'm almost in good health. I just want to talk to you about a contract for a new drama. I'm willing to take this role."
Shen Yun felt relieved when she heard that Ruan Jinghong's voice was fine, and her tone was cheerful.
"I'm relieved that you're fine, and I'll be responsible for the follow-up matters after signing the contract.
"Since the next work has been finalized, I will give you a vacation. Take a good rest and prepare for joining the group later.
"The contract, will you send it to the company or should I pick it up at your home?"
Ruan Jinghong naturally didn't dare to bother Shen Yun to run errands, and was about to say that she was going to the company, unaware that Wen Jin already stepped forward and took the phone.
"I'll have someone send the contract to you. Please leave a convenient address."
Shen Yun heard the sudden change in the female voice from the other end of the phone, hesitated for a moment, and quickly responded.
"It turns out that Queen Wen and Xiao Ruan are together, please send the contract to the front desk on the first floor of Xingxing Entertainment."
It has to be said that Yaoshi Entertainment's work efficiency is top-notch. Shen Yun got the contract in the afternoon, and Yaoshi's people took the initiative to contact her in the afternoon to complete all the signing work.
The preparatory work for this show was very low-key, without any materials. As an S+ project, it didn't even have a decent sales account.
One reason is that Wen Jin deliberately kept a low profile in the early stage, blocking the flow of information. She always dismissed the idea of using pancake marketing* tactics.
*gimmicky
The second reason is that the film and television adaptation's copyright was sold only a few months ago."
So when everyone learned that Yaoshi Entertainment bought the copyright, their first reaction was: It's over, no one knows if the delay will last until the Year of the Monkey to start filming.
People who often follow the entertainment industry are well aware that Yaoshi Entertainment loves to buy big IPs, but the number of successful film and television adaptations is scarce.
The reason is simple: Yaoshi's productions need to go through a series of strict comprehensive evaluations. Purchasing the IP is just the first step; even a big IP needs to make efforts to stand out among other big IPs.
By proactively buying various promising IPs, they aim to have control and the power to choose.
Even knowing this, many authors are still willing to sell their copyrights because of Yaoshi's straightforwardness and generosity.
Lucky ones get chosen by Yaoshi Entertainment and their popularity reaches new heights.
Those with average luck still receive a handsome copyright fee, and after a few years, they can sell it to another company.
Therefore, when the official Weibo account of this drama suddenly announced that "Romance Does Not Know Me" was approved as an S+ project and would officially start filming on the 3rd of next month, it was like a bolt from the blue.
In less than half an hour, there were tens of thousands of likes, shares, and comments, and the buzz was rapidly rising.
This is just the buzz created by the alliance between the IP and Yaoshi Entertainment.
But the story is just beginning. After the project announcement, they released waves of crews every half an hour.
First, they gradually announced the cast of actors, and many familiar names were revealed one by one on the official Weibo account.
This drama has two female leads in a story of intrigue, adapted from the legendary stories of two women in the history of China.
In that era, many well-known historical figures will make appearances, and the actors playing these characters are also quite prestigious.
From rising young stars to seasoned veterans, each batch of actor announcements sparks heated discussions. And these are just the important supporting roles and guest stars.
Next come the screenwriters, stylists, and OST. Ordinary viewers may not know them, but they are long-time collaborators admired by many devoted fans.
When it was announced that the director is Shen Qingzhi, who was nominated for Dollywood's Best Director, #ShenQingzhi_LostYouth and #ShenQingzhi_RomanceDoesNotKnowMe immediately jumped to the third and fifth spot on the trending list.
Shen Qingzhi has been behind the scenes for nearly ten years, and there is still a small wave of diehard fans who regard her as a memory of their youth.
Most of these fans are now in their thirties, and they are still as excited as children when they see the news that the idol they were chasing at the beginning has finally returned to China.
Immediately below this trending search, people began to reminisce about their youth.
People's emotions can be contagious, and soon netizens over the age of 30 who are usually used to diving*, at this time, also joined the ranks of nostalgic youth.
*just lurking/onlookers
Time is always the best filter. The black red flower who was ridiculed by the whole internet at the beginning never expected that just because she made some achievements after going abroad for a few years, and then returned to China to direct a drama, she would be missed as if she were dead.
It's unknown if any of these people who miss her scolded her back then.
Shen Qingzhi was speechless when she saw this trending nostalgia, and immediately called Wen Jin.
"I mean, Boss Wen, aren't you wearing woolen wool? I just get a director's salary, so I don't have to be roasted in the front row of hot searches, right? This sister is still alive and well, young and in full bloom. How come they act like I'm gone.
*褥羊毛 (rù yángmáo) -Kickback/ accepting money or benefits through unethical means/ not really sure about the meaning, it's like getting more of something than one paid for/using too many discount cards etc.
Wen Jin took the mobile phone away, and waited for Shen Qingzhi to finish outputting indignantly, before speaking in a hurry.
"I'm afraid Director Shen lacks the correct understanding of her fishy physique*. If I say that these are normal heat now, I haven't bought navy and hot search, would you believe it?"
*controversial nature
"I believe you, you ghost*!..."
*like hell/bull/crap etc
Shen Qingzhi was about to scold again, but her voice suddenly took a sharp turn and she became humming and weak.
Wen Jin listened to the busy tone from the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone indifferently.
At this moment, Ruan Jinghong was at home holding her phone, browsing the trending searches. She looked up and saw Wen Jin's mischievous smile, so she curiously asked,
"Teacher Wen, those two trending topics about Director Shen, are they really natural?"
"Of course."
Wen Jin smiled frankly. She did not buy the navy and heat, she just revised the original entry.
#ShenQingzhi_LostYouth, was originally #Shen Qingzhi_ReturningToTheCountryWithHonor.
In fact, the meaning is also quite similar. Chinese culture is vast and profound.
Wen Jin sat back on the sofa, hugged her sweet and soft little girlfriend, and watched trending searches with her.
In the past, she rarely personally cared about online comments since everything was summarized in Wen Qing's reports.
But because her girlfriend loves to read them, she enjoys accompanying her girlfriend to read together.
At this moment, the internet is so fond of Shen Qingzhi that they can't wait to take a black and white photo* of her to enshrine, and at the same time, they have unprecedented curiosity about the heroine of the drama "Romance Does Not Know Me".
*displaying black and white photo is usually done during funerals
[By the way, if Director Shen is involved in this drama, it must be S++, I can't think of any young flowers in Yaoshi who is suitable to be the leading role]
[Upstairs, keep your eyes open. Maybe such a big project is a collaboration between Yaoshi and some big boss. Everything is possible]
[If you jump out of Yaoshi, Su Shihou is more in line with Princess Tiansheng's image, 37-year-old can play 19-year-old...right]
[Like ghost, I would rather have a lower rank but also be of the right age, Fu Ziyan is 28 years old and 19 years old is just right]
[Fu Ziyan's image seems to match Guan Yue more, but she is still not ready for S+ for now]
[Take my Yanyan away, please pay attention to the new drama "Breaking Heaven"]
[No, isn't there a boss in Yaoshi who is of the same age and status, why is no one mentioning her?]
[Yaoshi, the age is right, upstairs is talking about Queen Wen?]
[Who knows what's on Queen Wen's mind? Everyone knows that the movie queen is semi-retired, only doing one movie a year. How could she come down to earth and film a TV series?]
[That's wrong to say that, upstairs. Director Shen from Dollywood can go down to film TV dramas. Why can't Queen Wen? Besides, isn't this her family's project?]
[I bet a truckload of biscuits, Queen Wen won't act]
[I bet on two trucks of biscuits, the actress Queen Wen will act]
Ruan Jinghong couldn't help but secretly laughed out loud when she saw that netizens even bet on Wen Jin with biscuits.
After being spotted by Wen Jin, she held her in her arms and rubbed her for a while in the name of "punishment".
After Ruan Jinghong finally struggled to get out of that clutch, she patted her flushed face and went to read the discussion on Hot Search again.
At 8:30 now, the official Weibo account of the drama "Romance…" announced the first female lead.
TV Drama 'Romance Does Not Know Me' A talented female prime minister, praised for both her elegance and intelligence. She gains the emperor's favor with her capable governance, and the entire court vies to pay respects to the Shangguan family. @Wen Jin."
Tonight is destined to be a Weibo carnival night. The trending topics #WenJin_ReturnsToTVDramaAfterFiveYears, #WenJin_ShangguanYue, #WenJin_RomanceDoesNotKnowMe are rapidly climbing in popularity at a visible speed. In no time, they directly dominated the top three hot searches.
At the moment, it doesn't matter whether it's those who are watching historical dramas or not; whether they're fans of Yaoshi's artists or fans of other artists.
They all rushed forward to eat melons and watch the excitement. The comments under the real-time hot searches scrolled and swiped the screen directly, and they couldn't be seen clearly without pressing and holding.
[Damn it, it's really the Queen Wen, like the prophet knife said]
[There is a sense of contradiction that is both absurd and reasonable]
[I remember Queen Wen's last TV series "Hengtian" has been on the air for five years. At that time, the average ratings of that drama and the annual drama king were only 0.2% apart]
[Queen Wen is in the film industry. Although "Hengtian" is a special starring role, it is quite impressive to be able to achieve that kind of result]
[I am optimistic about "Romance…", the annual drama king is scheduled]
[I found something very strange. Usually, the leading role is the last to be announced. Now Shangguan Yue, who is played by Queen Wen, is announced first. Who is the person who will play the role of Princess Tiansheng? ]
[I really have a limited imagination. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, among the actresses under the age of 40, who can beat the actress?]
[After the official announcement of Queen Wen, I'm even more curious about what is next]
Ruan Jinghong was originally amused by the excitement, but she didn't expect to eat a melon and eat it on her own head.
She saw that the attention of the majority of netizens suddenly shifted from "Romance…", Director Shen, Wen Jin, then to her, and she immediately felt a lot of pressure.
Wen Jin played with Ruan Jinghong's hand at the side, felt the sudden sweat in her palm, and rubbed her head lightly.
"Don't worry, I'm always by your side."
