As we came out of the office building, Wang Minghan, brother Kan, and Gu Fangfei happened to be coming down from that mobile castle. We walked head to head.
Wang Minghan smiled, "Two old classmates, we are about to get the authorization for 'Time leaves its mark.' We can start shooting at the latest next month, with the original director and leading actress... Ting Zhi, do you want to make a guest appearance?"
Although I felt sour inside, I still chose to smile and ignore it. Perhaps it was to show defiance, or maybe it was to set the final conditions. Wang Minghan invited me and Qin Zhijiang to visit their newly established the new Yuehua Media (he knew that if he only invited me, I definitely wouldn't go). Surprisingly, Xin Yuehua and World Culture Media are in the same building, but in my opinion, Xin Yuehua is large in scale, but just a superficial facade. In a certain room, a few employees were actually playing cards. The fierce look from Wang Minghan almost made me burst out laughing.
In addition to the office area marked with signs for this and that department, there is also a small exhibition hall with exquisite pictures hanging on the walls. The main focus is on a middle-aged man posing with various prominent figures. The photos include images of him being received by foreign dignitaries and members of royal families during overseas visits, as well as snapshots of domestic and foreign political figures, tycoons, and elites visiting the company.
Wang Minghan explained that the middle-aged man is his father. In addition to the pictures, there are also inscriptions and calligraphy by not only officials, but also literary and artistic celebrities. Top figures from the national literary federation, writers' association, calligraphers' association, and artists' association have left their footprints or calligraphic works here.
After viewing the photo exhibition, Wang Minghan greeted us to sit on the sofa. A staff member pulled the curtains and dimmed the lights, as it turned out they were going to screen a video, a special feature called "Heaven, Moon, Earth, and Splendor."
The content of the special feature was quite ordinary, mainly introducing the company's overview. Its approach was similar to many government agencies and corporate videos, often using vague and ambiguous language to praise the unit and its main leaders' achievements. The language used was magnificent and high-sounding, almost equivalent to a eulogy at a farewell ceremony.
However, the exquisite filming and production were truly breathtaking. The grand four characters at the beginning of the film were clearly the work of a high-level leader. This leader is known for not writing inscriptions or prefaces, so Wang Minghan being able to obtain these characters clearly indicates an extraordinary background.
A regular commercial documentary unexpectedly had over ten consultants and even had two theme songs specially composed for the opening and closing credits. The names of these consultants were all well-known, including some master-level figures. After the film ended, the lights came on. "Wang Minghan gestured to me again, 'Hey, how, old friend, are you interested in coming over? After signing the authorization for "Time Leaves Its Mark," we can also discuss the possibility of you playing the leading female role...'"
Of course I know we can talk, but I won't accept his conditions. I stood up and linked arms with Qin Zhijiang: "Thank you for your hospitality, manager Wang, but we have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave." I caught the sinister look in Wang Minghan's eyes and the fiery gaze of brother Kan.
Reliable sources indicate that 51% of the shares of Hua Media have been acquired by a domestic investment firm, leading to a successful restructuring of Hua Media, with stock prices hitting the limit up for three consecutive days.
Hua Media is set to make a big move.
They are going to hold a press conference for the casting and start of filming for "Time leaves its mark" at the Grand Hall. It's really unbelievable, both me and Qin Zhijiang received the invitation at the same time. Is this how the entertainment circle is now? You can show off, but can't you refrain from rubbing salt in other people's wounds for fun! The reckless Qin Zhijiang insisted on taking me, and I threw a little tantrum. He followed me and begged, "Let's just go for fun, to see the excitement, and also to broaden our horizons for New World... Be good, listen to me, accompany me, I heard there will be a lucky draw, maybe there will be a big surprise..."
I couldn't resist his coaxing and finally agreed, holding my nose.
Last time at the press conference, I was treated as a joke. This time, at most, I'll just be a backdrop. What's the big deal!
I wanted to attend with Qin Zhijiang without makeup, but he disagreed.
He was adjusting his suit in front of the mirror, which had no brand label and seemed to be custom-made. It was extremely neat and well-fitted. His watch was also new, shining silver and very delicate, and his leather shoes were polished. He helped me prepare my clothes as well, a long crimson trailing skirt, along with a pendant adorned with sapphires and a ring set with a huge diamond. He earnestly helped me put them on, and when he saw that I was annoyed, he explained with a playful smile, "They are all knockoffs. We're just borrowing someone else's stage to play the part of a 13." But those were definitely not knockoffs; they were rare treasures from South Africa. Having been in the entertainment industry for several years, I still had some sense of discernment. Hmm, I guess they were rented with money, but can you even rent such things?
Seeing him happy, I just let him have his way.
This time, instead of driving his precious car, it was a flashy Red Flag, long and wide enough that you couldn't buy it for any amount of money on the market. There was also a capable young man with a crew cut as the driver. Along the way, whenever we encountered traffic police, they all stood at attention and saluted us!
At the Great Hall, Qin Zhijiang said he was going to see an acquaintance and disappeared directly, while I was arranged to sit in the front row in the middle, with a seat marked with both our names.
This arrangement, I really don't understand what the organizer is thinking.
The host came on stage, flanked by two gold medal pillars of the Central Mother.
The first part is the authorization ceremony for the film and television adaptation of "Time leaves its mark". As the music starts, the Hua Xing and Hua Yao brothers take the stage. Both of them step onto the red carpet and look to the side at the same time. An old man with graying hair is helped onto the stage by Qin Zhijiang. He is the "grandfather" I have seen at Tian Di Media.
In the center of the stage stood an elderly man, with Qin Zhijiang on the left and the Hua brothers on the right. A document was presented on the big screen, held by four pairs of hands.
It was the authorization letter for the film adaptation rights of "Time Leaves Its Mark"!
Authorized by: Qin Yousheng and Qin Zhijiang; Authorized recipient: New Hua Media Film Company.
To be honest, my head is starting to buzz again.
At the end of the first ceremony, the old man was supported by two hosts, one on each side. One helped him hold the microphone, and the other helped him open a large red book. The old man announced slowly but very clearly: "The creator of Time leaves its mark is director Mu Shaokun!"
It turned out to be Mu Shaokun. You should know that for most of his life, Mu has directed many world-famous plays, not only with a strong popular base, but also recognized as a giant in the industry at the national level.
I couldn't help but join in the applause with everyone, feeling genuinely happy for the director of the play. Next, the old man continued, "Male lead, brother Kun!" brother Kun was actually sitting right behind me. He took off his sunglasses, turned to the audience to bow, then turned back and smiled at me, leaving me at a loss.
The voice of an elderly person then announced, "female lead, Wu Tingzhi!"
