Chapter 222 [Movie Chapter]
Chapter 222 [Magic City Film Festival]
Tang Song slowly picked up [Su Yu's glasses] and examined them carefully.
It is very similar to the glasses I wear, light, delicate and textured.
However, the style is softer, standard women's black-frame glasses.
I wonder what Su Yu will look like when she wears it.
Looking at the piles of invitation letters in front of him, Tang Song, who was squatting on the ground, sighed.
Even as a stranger, I could feel her sincere emotions between the lines.
Expectation, shyness, struggle, timidity, pain...
What's more, he is the person involved.
Deep down, he treated everything as a game. Although he was fully engaged in the game, he did not regard the characters as real people.
In the game, the favorability of [Female Star-Su Yu] is naturally maxed out.
As a player, after he has completed this early plot, he will naturally continue to move forward without hesitation.
In his understanding, when he does not summon a character or interact with it, it will live and work according to the set procedures.
But if it were a real person...
That is really too cruel, a typical example of flirting and running away.
After closing the glasses case and putting it away carefully, Tang Song reached into the safe again.
This time, I took out a 7-inch photo frame stand.
The material is matte metal, which feels slightly cool and delicate to the touch. The black and white color scheme is simple yet elegant.
When I turned the photo frame over, I saw a photo of a man and a woman.
He and Su Yu stood in front of a tall floor-to-ceiling window, with the gorgeous sunset behind them.
Both of them wore a pair of black-framed glasses on their noses.
Su Yu is still as beautiful as ever, but obviously looks younger, probably in her early 20s.
She was dressed fashionably, had a towering chest, and finely sculpted features.
Beside her slender neck, the diamond earrings sparkled and swayed gracefully on her ears.
Her eyes turned to "Tang Song" who was standing next to her. Tang Song's expression was slightly dazed.
A trance-like feeling of game and reality interweaving came over me.
There was a buzzing in his head, as if he recalled something, but it was not clear.
Judging from his appearance, this is what he looked like when he was a junior.
Before graduating from university, although Tang Song was too busy to take care of his appearance, he was not in bad condition.
She hasn't gained weight, her skin hasn't gotten worse, and most importantly, her hair is much thicker than it is now.
In the photo, he is wearing a simple casual suit, standing casually and upright, with a strong aura.
The most attractive thing is his eyes. The corners of his eyes are slightly raised, and his pupils are deep, like a dark and cold pool. Against the backdrop of the sunset glow, they reflect a complex and elusive light.
Although Su Yu was extremely outstanding at that time, when standing next to "Tang Song", he looked more like a foil.
From this photo, Tang Song felt for the first time how great an influence temperament and aura have on a person.
After putting away the photo frame, Tang Song rummaged through the safe again.
In addition to some packaging bags, 10 US dollars (cash) and an ordinary key were found at the bottom layer.
Holding a pile of neatly stacked brand new banknotes in your hand is very visually impactful.
Tang Song played with it for a while and then put it back.
After taking a shower in the bathroom, Tang Song lay on the sofa bed in a bathrobe, looking at the brilliant night view outside the window and occasionally looking at the photo of the two of them.
Thinking about how to hand [Su Yu's glasses] to Su Yu.
The easiest way is naturally to go directly to Tang Zong Entertainment Headquarters, but as soon as this thought came to his mind, the system prompt interrupted his fantasy.
With his current charm score, personal qualities and abilities, he is indeed unable to directly interact with high-level characters such as Mo Xiangwan and Su Yu.
As for mailing it, he was a little unsure if it would work.
Last time, there was a system bug and I filled in Secretary Kim’s address directly through the game interface.
It would be best to find a middleman who can contact Mo Xiangwan or Su Yu.
Unfortunately, he currently has no connections in Shanghai, nor has he inherited any assets here, so he cannot contact the management of Tang Zong Entertainment for the time being.
If it doesn't work, you can try to contact Juqing Huijin or Bocai Yingrui.
These are his two major industries at present, and both are inextricably linked to the characters in the game.
I kept thinking about this for a while, and I didn't know when I started to feel sleepy.
……
Imperial Capital, DX District Hilton Hotel.
This five-star hotel, located outside the South Fifth Ring Road, was built only three years ago and has very complete internal configurations.
In a double suite.
"Yuyan, what are your plans next?" Li Meixia looked at Shen Yuyan beside her and said softly, "Boss Hou seems to have a lot of opinions."
Shen Yuyan took a sip of the slightly sweet sparkling wine and said decisively: "No matter what his opinion is, I will push for this financing."
According to Youjie Housekeeping's articles of association, as long as more than two-thirds of the shareholders with voting rights approve it, it can proceed.
The current equity structure of the company is: Zhang Tianqi (42%), Shen Yuyan (40%), Hou Shaoyuan (14%), Li Meixia (2%), and Wang Ning (2%).
As the founders, Zhang Tianqi and Shen Yuyan together own 82% of the shares.
As long as Zhang Tianqi does not raise any objections, the financing will definitely go smoothly.
Li Meixia thought about it and advised: "I think you should have a good talk with Mr. Hou. Some misunderstandings can be completely resolved, which will be more conducive to the development of the company."
"Da——" Shen Yuyan put down the wine glass, "There is no misunderstanding. When I proposed Tang Song's investment in the previous meeting, he opposed it. Now that Gongying Technology has investment intentions, he also opposes it."
Li Meixia pursed her lips and patted her on the back. "It's because he has feelings for you. This is understandable. After all, two such outstanding boys are going to become shareholders of the company. He is afraid that you will be snatched away."
Shen Yuyan sighed, "The seed round of Youjie Housekeeping has made him a lot of money from his investment, but his mind is not on the company at all."
At the beginning of his business, Zhang Tianqi provided the main profitable business through his relatives.
She was in charge of the company's executive operations. In addition to emptying her savings, she also used the Bilibili and TikTok accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers that she had carefully maintained during college.
It started with a series of videos on entrepreneurship, and later gradually transformed into promoting "Youjie Housekeeping".
More than half of the company's intermediary business comes from here, and it is also an important customer acquisition channel.
It can be said that she has contributed the most to the company and is the one who most hopes that Youjie Housekeeping will take off.
"Come to think of it, is Tang Song really as awesome as you say? He drives a Mercedes-Benz S-Class and has spare money to invest in our company? Just because of Qingqing's words?"
She and Shen Yuyan are college classmates, and she also has a good relationship with Xu Qing.
In fact, Shen Yuyan is not only popular among boys, there are also many girls who have a good relationship with her, and they are all very outstanding.
After she graduated, these connections also provided her with great help.
Shen Yuyan nodded gently and said affirmatively: "I know Qingqing, she won't lie to me about this. In fact, I wanted to meet Tang Song a few days ago, but you also saw that because of Hou Shaoyuan and Wang Ning's opposition, the matter ended unpleasantly."
"So that's why you ran to the imperial capital?"
"Yes!" Shen Yuyan's eyes flashed with a rational and sharp light, "Didn't they say that individual investors like Tang Song are not good for the company's development? Then I will let Win-Win Technology join in and participate in this capital increase and share expansion with Tang Song. Besides, this is what I originally planned."
In normal corporate financing, when the amount of funds required is large, one company will lead the investment and others will follow, thereby dispersing investment risks.
I don't think they will refuse.
Win-Win Technology is a technology company with a valuation of over 100 million yuan and has broad development prospects.
Having business connections with such a company would be very helpful for her future plans.
As for Tang Song, she will never let him go!
A financial sponsor who can provide funds, and he is so young and promising.
Compared with Hou Shaoyuan and others, he better meets her requirements for a partner.
Thinking of the roadshow that day and Tang Song’s brilliance on the stage, her eyes sparkled.
Alumni relationship, Qingqing's friend, Lu Ziming's roommate, a series of buffs added up, as long as Tang Song becomes a shareholder, he will definitely support her.
Plus the promise from Ren Mingyuan, vice president of Win-Win Technology.
In this way, after this round of capital increase and stock expansion, she can dilute the equity of Zhang Tianqi and Hou Shaoyuan.
Become the real controller of the company and develop boldly with confidence.
Thinking of this, a blush of excitement welled up on her face. She crossed her snow-white and well-proportioned legs and picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.
Li Meixia looked at this campus beauty and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she is so beautiful!
She has big breasts, a slim waist, a perky butt, and a standard school beauty face. No wonder so many men are fascinated by her.
"Tap tap tap--" Shen Yuyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in slippers.
"Hua La La..." He pulled open the gray blackout curtain, pointed to the horizon in the distance, and said with a yearning and firm look: "Smile Holdings is right there, with the best location in Wangjing, the best office building, and the most perfect Jin Meixiao. We won't stay in Yancheng forever. One day we will stand on a bigger stage, attend the best banquets, and chat with top executives of Fortune 500 companies..."
Li Meixia was also moved by her words. She stood up and stood beside her, looking at this dazzling "campus beauty".
If a company wants to move forward, it always needs someone to lead the direction, encourage and motivate it, and Shen Yuyan is undoubtedly such a person.
When starting a business with her, I can always drink all kinds of delicious chicken soup, and I am full of energy.
Shen Yuyan just looked at the skyline in the northeast direction and seemed to see it.
In the starry night sky, there stands a group of high-ranking people.
The train of the times is running at high speed.
This is the imperial capital, China's political center, cultural center, international exchange center, and scientific and technological innovation center. It is a modern international metropolis.
At this moment, we are in the middle of it, facing the financing that is about to be achieved.
Her heart was surging, and all her past decadence and depression were swept away.
My heart is full of longing for the future.
Only those with clear ambitions can meet at the top.
She is unwilling to be ordinary and just wants to seize the opportunity and fight hard.
……
June 2023, 6, Saturday, Shanghai, light rain turning to cloudy, 10~23℃.
"Rustle, rustle" the raindrops were carried by the wind and hit the glass windows.
The light in the room was a little dim.
"Ding-ling-ling——" The cell phone rang suddenly. Tang Song quickly opened his eyes, looked at the cell phone on the bedside, and raised his brows slightly.
[Inspirational design-Cheng Qiuqiu? ]
We had exchanged phone numbers before because of work, but this was the first time she called me directly.
After answering the phone, "Hello, Cheng Sheji, good morning."
"Good morning, Tang Song." Cheng Qiuqiu paused and said, "I bought some street food from the Magic City. Would you like to try some? I'll give you one."
"Um...Okay, thank you." Tang Song rubbed his eyebrows, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
Last night, because of Su Yu’s invitation letter and the photo, he was so emo that he didn’t fall asleep until very late.
Although I have the blessing of [Male God Halo (LV3)], I am still a little sleepy.
"I'm in the lounge area on the 38th floor now. Just come over."
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone in a daze, Tang Song looked at the phone screen, confirmed that everything was correct, and started to pack up.
Living in the executive suite, he has free access to the executive lounge.
The breakfast buffet there was very rich. He had seen the menu before and there were many kinds of Chinese and Western breakfasts.
But since the other party was kind enough to buy it for me, I'll try it first.
After putting on some casual summer clothes, washing his face and brushing his teeth, Tang Song took the elevator directly to the hotel lobby on the 38th floor.
Glancing around, I saw Cheng Qiuqiu wearing a shirt and jeans.
He was holding a white towel from the hotel and wiping his slightly wet hair, probably because of the rain.
There were quite a few paper bags and lunch boxes on the coffee table in front of her.
"Good morning."
"Morning, fried dough sticks, steamed buns with fresh meat and bamboo shoots, wontons, salty soy milk, steamed dumplings..." Cheng Qiuqiu briefly introduced the breakfast, and then said: "You can choose whatever you want. I bought them according to the guide, so I shouldn't make any mistakes."
He looked at the rain marks on her body and the expression on her face, then looked at the breakfast on the coffee table.
Tang Song understood instantly.
Still apologizing for the previous Mercedes-Benz car cover incident.
He really disliked Liu Wen Ning and the other guy.
However, after detention, compensation and apology, the matter was over.
I didn't expect Cheng Qiuqiu to be so persistent and serious.
It's exactly the same attitude she has at work.
There were no dietary restrictions in the Tang and Song dynasties, so they just picked a few at random.
Cheng Qiuqiu smiled faintly, "You just got up, I'm sorry to disturb you. But I have to go to the film festival early today. There are 41 cinemas in Shanghai showing the films of the film festival. I plan to take advantage of this atmosphere and watch all of Su Yu's participating films with my friends in the fan club. I heard that some theaters support VR viewing, which is a very exciting experience."
"Su Yu's movie." Tang Song murmured, and the scenes of last night came to his mind again.
She had mailed herself invitations to so many premieres and film festivals before, but unfortunately she had never attended any of them.
I've never seen her movies in theaters either.
It just so happens that she is also participating in this international film festival, so she can go and have a look.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded.
"Ding! You have triggered the challenge mission [Magic City Film Festival]. Please go to the mission center to check."
[Task content: Challenge yourself today, become a Su Yu fan, immerse yourself in this film festival, and watch all the competition films in which Su Yu participated]
[Task Reward: Random Gift Pack*1]
[Note: The more you participate in the film festival, the richer the gift package will be]
After closing the system interface, Tang Song raised his head and asked, "Designer Cheng, how many competitive films has Su Yu participated in?"
"Three!" Cheng Qiuqiu said seriously, "Only one of them is the main character, which is the award-winning main theme movie. The others are just guest appearances, supporting the artists under Tang Zong Entertainment."
Tang Song said "hmm" and smiled, "As a die-hard fan of Su Yu, can I attend the film festival with you guys?"
My beautician friend is going to attend an Hermès event today, so he can go and complete the task during the day without delaying his work in the evening.
Cheng Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Tickets are hard to get. Most of us bought them from scalpers. They cost 350 each. You..."
As she was talking, she suddenly remembered Tang Song's Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the scene that day.
He said somewhat embarrassedly: "But it shouldn't be expensive for you. I can buy it for you."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll transfer the money to you." Tang Song opened his phone and was about to look for her WeChat.
Cheng Qiuqiu bit her lip and whispered, "That's my work WeChat. Let's add him as a friend again."
"OK!"
After scanning the QR code and adding it, Tang Song transferred the money.
The two did not go back to the room. They just chatted about the film festival and ate the Shanghai specialties breakfast in the lounge area.
Although the support group that Cheng Qiuqiu belongs to is small in scale, it is also operated by an official organization.
The full photos will also be posted in Su Yu’s community, and there is a small chance that she will pick them up.
...
After breakfast, pack up your things.
Waiting for Cheng Qiuqiu.
"Ding Dong——" the WeChat notification sound rang.
[Qiu Yu: "Good morning, Tang Song. Because you talked to me at Huashang Clothing before, our cooperation went very smoothly! Today happens to be Saturday. Are you free at noon or in the evening? I will treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."]
Tang Song replied truthfully: "I'm sorry, I came to Modu on a business trip yesterday and was not in Yancheng."
[Qiu Yu: "Ah, you're going to Shanghai? Let's make an appointment next time if we have the chance."]
After a while.
The cell phone rang again.
It’s my college classmate Li Zhixi.
Tang Song raised his eyebrows and answered the phone, "Hello, Zhixi."
Then, a familiar and excited voice came from the receiver: "Hey, Brother Song! Are you in Shanghai?"
"We just arrived in the Magic City last night. Did Qiu Yu tell you?"
"Well, she told me that our company has reached a cooperation intention with Yancheng Huashang Clothing, and you have contributed a lot. Hehe, when the project is developed, I will apply to go to Yancheng for on-site implementation and training, and I can stay there for more than half a month. Then I will have a good gathering with you guys and visit the campus of Yankee University."
The two chatted about school for a while.
Li Zhixi said excitedly: "Do you have anything to do today? If not, let's get together. I'll treat you to a meal! It will definitely be fun to video chat with Brother Kai and the others."
Three years after graduation, this is the closest he has ever been to Tang Song. He misses this old classmate and roommate very much.
The tone of his voice was also warm and sincere.
Tang Song thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I'm not free during the day, but I can meet at night. Send me the location and time, and we can meet directly at the hotel."
"That's fine. The nightlife in the Magic City is more exciting. After dinner, I'll take you to the night market or something."
...
After hanging up the phone, I received the news that Cheng Qiuqiu had left.
Tang Song picked up his backpack, put on his glasses, went out, and started today's movie-watching journey.
There were 6 other girls with Cheng Qiuqiu, all of them were college students from Yancheng who came to support them.
Tang Song's outfit today is very low-key, with a simple white T-shirt, jeans, and black-framed glasses, without any added dressing effect.
He looked like a clean, refreshing, gentle and handsome guy, and was warmly welcomed by several innocent girls.
Share snacks, help buy drinks, take photos and add WeChat...
Tang Song, the "fake fan", felt at home among the group. Looking at the energetic girls around him, he felt like he was back on the university campus and it was extremely interesting.
They chatted about Su Yu's latest works, growth experience, personality charm, and outfits...
As we all know, it is a blessing to be a fan of Su Yu. This superstar has had almost no scandals, stains, or black spots since his debut.
She keeps herself clean, never hypes herself up, has a serious work attitude, and has an excellent reputation both inside and outside the industry.
The ratio of her male and female fans is roughly the same. She started out as an idol, has dozens of hit songs, and has created three national variety shows...
She never shoots any intimate scenes and basically only takes on dramas with female protagonists and main themes. There are even rumors that she is a lesbian.
Talking about this topic, the girls became even more excited.
If Su Yu was really a lesbian, they wouldn't mind anything happening.
Even Cheng Qiuqiu, who had a somewhat cold personality, had her face flushed, as if she was fantasizing about something.
Tang Song, who was sitting on the side, looked a little embarrassed. He listened to them YYing about their own [female stars] and didn't know what to say.
……
10 o'clock in the morning.
Bulgari Hotel, in a luxury suite.
Lin Muxue uploaded the edited video to various platforms and had a delicious and sumptuous breakfast.
I have to say that the service in a super five-star hotel is great, and you can order breakfast 24 hours a day.
Then she took a careful shower, started to take care of her skin, put on makeup, do her hair, and put on the battle suit she had carefully prepared.
Today is a big day.
In the afternoon, Qianqian and I will attend an Hermès private event, and in the evening we will have a reunion with some college classmates in Shanghai.
And most of them work as flight attendants.
She once longed for this glamorous, elegant and beautiful profession, otherwise she would not have chosen the "flight attendant" major after graduating from high school.
But later when I was faced with finding a job, I realized how difficult it was.
负责面试她的老师明码标价,耗时1-2年花40W-50W可以获得空姐的合同资格,哪怕是地勤也要10W左右。
Of course, there was no problem for those students who came from well-off families and had connections, but for her, it was simply like cutting leeks.
Besides, her family really can’t afford so much money!
So I just gave up and started working as a print model, while also running my own self-media account.
Thinking of the terrible things in the past, Lin Muxue took a deep breath and looked at herself in the floor-length mirror.
His eyes are full of fighting spirit and confidence.
