Chapter 791: Look, It’s Director Jiang
Soon, six months past by and it was already the summer vacation.
The movie <Suffocation> starring Jiang Yuning would also be released as scheduled. Compared to other movies, this kind of heavy movie could hardly raise the audience’s interest to come and watch the movie.
Although Jiang Yuning created a social topic on domestic violence last year, it had already been a long time since then, and Jiang Yuning had basically not appeared in the public eye after giving birth. Therefore, the topic and popularity of domestic violence have already receded in the past six months. After all, this was a fast-paced era, and all kinds of star-making methods have made this circle increasingly impetuous and pathological.
There were too many new faces, which made the fan circle more complicated and changeable.
Guangying Media had done a lot of publicity in the early stage of the movie, but the effect was very minimal. After all, not everyone had the acumen to touch such contradictory and stressful topics. If they wanted to successfully break the siege, Jiang Yuning would have to come out and attract the public’s attention.
But with the retreat of Jiang Yuning’s retirement, the senior executives of the company put their minds on new projects, and they did not plan to invest money in the promotion and marketing of <Suffocation>. Although Shen Yichen raised his objections many times, they were rejected by the senior management. Everyone wanted to use this part of the resources on their own artistes, which also created contradictions within Guangying Media, which was becoming increasingly fierce and heated.
Even during the period when Jiang Yuning was away from the company, a director wanted to support his own people and bring his subordinates up to the upper position. So, he set a trap for Shen Yichen many times to cause a dispute in the relationship between Shen Yichen and Gu Pingsheng. Shen Yichen was exhausted and he felt very miserable because of this internal struggle.
And the young paparazzo had also been greatly suppressed and he had been seriously wronged many times because Jiang Yuning was absent. When talking with Jiang Yuning over the phone, most of the time, the young paparazzo would be very miserable as he cried and complained: “Sister Yuning, if you don’t come back soon, I will really die from suffocation then.”
“We couldn’t allocate any propaganda resources at all in the later period, and the movie <Suffocation> was also completely squeezed out of schedule.”
Jiang Yuning had just packed up her son’s little toys. When she heard the complaint from the young paparazzo, she also smiled as she said, “I see, I see. How can an adult like you cry so miserably like this?”
“Now that the company is in such a chaotic state, will it be over for Guangying Media?”
“Silly boy, get a good night’s sleep! Everything will be fine tomorrow. Just trust me.”
Although Jiang Yuning did not go to the company during this period of time, she had been looking at all the documents from her uncle. Yu Shaowei’s popularity shocked the entire Guangying Media, and gave the jackals, who had been about to move, an excuse to attack Gu Pingsheng. These shareholders and high-level executives took advantage of Jiang Yuning’s absence to openly and secretly support the newcomers through various methods. They thought that they had a bargaining chip with some achievements. They used these so-called “bargaining chips” to grab and snatch other artistes’ resources, as if the purpose was to stir up the popularity of the artistes for Guangying Media. This turned the entire company upside down, and there were also people who were trying to grab Yu Shaowei’s resources too...
Since these issues occurred because of Jiang Yuning. Then, of course, she had to resolve all these matters herself.
...
The next day, Jiang Yuning took out her old white suit and matched it with a pair of white high heels.
Although she was already the mother of a six months’ old baby, she still seemed to be the same as before without much changes at all. She had the same eyes that were filled with the same tenacity, her mind was the same, and compared to the times before giving birth, she now had a touch of gentleness and stability.
Jiang Yuning said nothing about returning to the company. No one in the entire Guangying Media knew about this matter, except Gu Pingsheng, and this included Shen Yichen and the young paparazzo.
At nine o’clock in the morning, Jiang Yuning appeared in the lobby of Guangying Media after a long absence. After seeing this, the receptionist at the front desk of the company covered her mouth in shock, excitedly.
“Sister Yuning has come to work...”
“Look, it’s Director Jiang.”
“Why is she still so beautiful even after having a baby? Her figure is also just as good as it was before.”
“Hey, since Director Jiang is back, do you think that she can clean up the mess of the company?”
When Jiang Yuning returned to her office, she was greeted with shocked eyes all the way. The young paparazzo arrived at the office earlier than her, and when he saw her appear, he thought he was dreaming. He rubbed his eyes for a while before he looked at Jiang Yuning again.
“Sister Yuning, are you really back?”
“I don’t know who it was who called me for help in the middle of the night, last night...” Jiang Yuning glared at him before she took a seat on the office chair.
“Wait...” The young paparazzo seemed to have thought of something, and ran back to his desk to find something. After a while, he carried a lot of documents and placed them in front of Jiang Yuning, “You might need it.”
Jiang Yuning looked at the documents on the desk, then reached out her hands and pushed it all away as she said: “I don’t need it.”
“Sister Yuning, there will be a meeting today. If you don’t take a look at these documents, how can you understand why the meeting is going to be held?”
“Are you talking about the resource ownership of <One Step to the Sky>?? I already know about it. Type out some documents for me.”
This was an action blockbuster movie co-produced by Guangying Media and a well-known foreign production company. The role had basically been determined for the foreign artistes, but there was still an Asian role that was still being selected. Shen Yichen directly recommended Yu Shaowei who participated in the audition for <One Step to the Sky> but a shameless shareholder of Guangying Media contacted the foreign director privately and recommended another artiste that he supported. Both of them had good acting skills. The director had been swaying left and right, and he could not decide on which actor to cast for the movie. After all, it was the internal affairs of Guangying Media. Therefore, Shen Yichen held this meeting because they wanted to make a choice between Yu Shaowei and the other artiste.
The meeting was held at 9:30 in the morning. At this time, Yu Shaowei and Luo Hangyi had already arrived at the company.
“Regardless of the outcome, you should just calm down today.” Luo Hangyi reminded Yu Shaowei because the both of them did not know about Jiang Yuning return to work for the time being, and they no longer had any hope for that role. This was because they knew that during this period of time, Shen Yichen had been exhausted physically and mentally because he had been trying to retain this resource for Yu Shaowei.
“Yeah.” Yu Shaowei nodded.
Although he was also very enraged, there was no changes to his personality and character at all. It was still the same as before. He had a few pets and he was still living in his small house. He was still working very hard and diligently and he did not become cocky or arrogant because of his popularity.
Very soon, the people from both sides entered the meeting room together. Today’s matter needed to be decided by Gu Pingsheng himself.
At the beginning of the meeting, the other party began to lash out, as he praised his actor, and by the way, made Yu Shaowei seem completely worthless, especially when it came to their acting skills. After all, the other actor built up his entire career through his acting skills but that was not the case for Yu Shaowei.
Shen Yichen has been rubbing his forehead as he felt that he was having a headache. When he looked at Gu Pingsheng’s expression that seemed as though he could not even be bothered to be at this meeting, he suddenly felt a little defeated.
“Anyway, Yu Shaowei is still young and there will be many more opportunities for him in future. I think that he should just let go of this resource for <One Step to the Sky>.”
Wasn’t the other party in connotation hinting that, Yu Shaowei was not qualified?
“I have already communicated with the director of <One Step to the Sky> and confirmed that Yu Shaowei will be taking on the role.”
At this time, Jiang Yuning who opened the door, spoke to everyone in the office.
