Chapter 229: The End of Jiang Lang's Talent
Chapter 229: The End of Jiang Lang's Talent
For Qin Tian, writing the script for "The Climbers" was not something he could rush.
He could take his time to conceive and write, but to his own surprise, he found himself unconsciously shaping the character based on Liu Tianxian's image.
Liu Tianxian's image lingered in Qin Tian's mind, as if she were the perfect embodiment of the character.
This feeling grew stronger and stronger, to the point that Qin Tian couldn't stop imagining her, and the more he thought about it, the more suitable this setting seemed.
However, having learned from his previous experience, Qin Tian was much wiser this time. He didn't readily reveal his thoughts, but decided to wait for a suitable opportunity to do so.
Otherwise, the household will be in turmoil!
During the day, Qin Tian continued to go to work, and his interactions with Yang Chaoyue became more and more frequent.
He would tease Yang Chaoyue from time to time, and Yang Chaoyue didn't seem to mind, so their relationship became more and more familiar.
For guys, the closer they are to someone, the more they want to tease and bully them. This isn't malicious; it's just a unique way for guys to express their feelings.
Qin Tian's life has been relatively stable lately. When he's not busy, he stays at home with Zhao Xiaodao.
He would play with her to help her relax. After all, Zhao Xiaodao was currently experiencing morning sickness, with various uncomfortable symptoms appearing one after another.
Seeing Zhao Xiaodao so distressed, Qin Tian felt a pang of guilt. But there was nothing else he could do but stay by her side as much as possible.
Especially Bai Lu and Meng Ziyi at home, seeing Zhao Xiaodao's appearance, couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, secretly thinking that if they had to suffer such pain during their pregnancy, it would be too terrible.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the movie "Mojin: The Lost Legend" has been released. The film performed quite well overall and received positive reviews from audiences.
Compared to Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe, "Mojin: The Lost Legend" is worlds apart! The former is as dazzling as the stars in the sky, while the latter is as dull and lifeless as dust on the ground.
It's also worth mentioning that Ms. Yang's performance in "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was outstanding; her acting skills were truly remarkable.
Although she wasn't the main character in the film, she had great screen presence and her acting was solid, a world of difference compared to her previous bad films that relied on flaunting her figure.
Fans also highly praised Ms. Yang's acting skills, which is extremely rare in her previous film works.
It's fair to say that Ms. Yang's performance this time greatly surprised her fans.
Perhaps because he was so satisfied with his performance in "Mojin: The Lost Legend," Boss Yang specially took the time to give Qin Tian a "one-stop service" to express his gratitude.
With the release of "Mojin: The Lost Legend", its final box office successfully locked in the astonishing figure of 24 billion.
Without a doubt, this movie made a fortune, and the profits were quite substantial.
However, unexpectedly, despite the impressive box office results, online reactions were not positive. Netizens generally considered this a major setback for Qin Tian.
The trending topics on Weibo were even more scathing, pointing out: "Qin Tianjiang has run out of ideas, and his box office performance has suffered a major setback," and "His outrageous remarks have led to disappointing box office results," among other things.
These remarks clearly apply Qin Tian's previous statement that "Operation Red Sea" was second only to "Wolf Warrior 2" to the box office performance of "Mojin: The Lost Legend".
However, what was unexpected was that not only were outsiders shocked by this situation, but even professionals in the industry were stunned.
"Aren't your expectations for Qin Tian too high? With 24 billion in box office revenue, you actually say he's lost his touch? Come on, look at this yourselves, is this even human language?" someone angrily accused.
"Are you little haters out of your minds? Qin Tian was talking about 'Operation Red Sea,' not 'Mojin: The Lost Legend'!" another person stood up to defend Qin Tian.
With a host of bigwigs watching closely, the online discussion became exceptionally heated, almost frenzied.
Qin Tian's fans stepped forward and engaged in a fierce debate with the anti-fans on Weibo, showing their support for their idol.
Surprisingly, in this debate, even Mr. Yang's fans felt that Qin Tian's work did not live up to expectations this time.
They felt that if Qin Tian's work hadn't been so lacking, Boss Yang's achievements would have been even greater.
Faced with the various comments from netizens, what can Qin Tian say?
He probably only had one word in his mind, "mmp," but he didn't know whether he should say it or not!
However, upon learning of this, Boss Yang could only try to satisfy Qin Tian in another way.
Qin Tian was still overjoyed by this!
As Bernard Yu stared at the box office figures for "Mojin: The Lost Legend," a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
He believes his films will be far more popular than expected, especially "Operation Red Sea," which he co-starred in with Qin Tian, which has boosted his confidence even more.
He did not hesitate to increase publicity efforts, after all, Qin Tian's scripts had become a "golden brand" in the industry - "starting with 20 billion views offline" had almost become an industry consensus.
Since Qin Tian's debut, his works have never fallen below this number; every film seems to be made for box office success.
Shortly after the movie ended its run, Mr. Sun from Tencent Video personally paid a visit to us.
In the office, General Manager Sun got straight to the point.
"Mr. Qin, hello! We came here today specifically to discuss a collaboration on a web series with you." The person speaking had a big smile on their face and their attitude was very sincere.
Qin Tian frowned slightly, seemingly surprised by the suggestion. "Web series?" he repeated.
The other party nodded quickly and explained, "Yes, it will be exclusively broadcast on our Tencent Video platform. Whether we invest or not, as long as it's exclusively broadcast on Tencent Video, that's fine. Actually, we mainly wanted to collaborate with you. What do you think?"
Qin Tian thought to himself, "This is like a pillow being delivered to someone who's just fallen asleep!" He originally had plans to film a web series, but he hadn't had a chance to implement it yet, but unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to come to him.
However, he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he changed the subject and brought up another matter: "Mr. Sun, I heard that Tencent is going to have a girl group program next year?"
Mr. Sun was clearly surprised that Qin Tian would suddenly bring this up, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his smile. "Mr. Qin, you're really well-informed! You've already received the news. We do have such a plan, but it's not quite ready yet. Do you have anyone you'd like us to recommend for guidance?"
Qin Tian smiled slightly and called out, "Yang Chaoyue, come in for a moment."
A short while later, a young and pretty girl walked in.
Qin Tian introduced her to President Sun: "This is my secretary, Yang Chaoyue. She has always been very interested in the entertainment industry and is thinking of giving it a try. President Sun, please don't hesitate to see if she's suitable."
Mr. Sun looked Yang Chaoyue up and down, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "Suitable, very suitable. I feel she will definitely make it into the group!"
Qin Tian was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Sun! I have two more scripts here, and I will finish writing them as soon as possible. We can start filming after the Spring Festival."
The conversation between the two was full of meaning and implications. Simply put, it wouldn't be difficult for Tencent to obtain exclusive broadcasting rights, but I have one condition: that my people participate in a girl group audition.
Not only did Tencent agree to the audition request without hesitation, but they even made an enticing promise—to let this person debut as part of a group!
Seeing this, Qin Tian also acted very generously, saying that since the other party was so straightforward, he would give Tencent two exclusive web series in return.
However, right after Mr. Sun from Tencent left, Yang Chaoyue suddenly became emotional. With a slightly tearful voice, she said to Qin Tian, "Mr. Qin, are you trying to get rid of me? Did I do something wrong?"
Qin Tian quickly explained, "No, Chaoyue, I did this entirely to make you more famous!"
Yang Chaoyue didn't seem to appreciate it. She insisted, "I don't want to be famous anymore. I just want to be your secretary forever."
Qin Tian smiled helplessly, stroked Yang Chaoyue's hair, and comforted her, "You have to be good, listen to my arrangements, and believe me, you will definitely become very popular. Maybe students will even have to put your picture on their exams!"
Yang Chaoyue was amused and asked curiously, "Why?"
Qin Tian looked at her with a hint of doting in his eyes: "Because you are a lucky charm. Meeting you is my greatest lucky charm."
Yang Chaoyue burst out laughing at Qin Tian's words, and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying! But I don't care, after I finish the talent show, I'll still come back to be your secretary!"
Qin Tian gently put his arm around Yang Chaoyue's waist and said, "Don't worry, the position of secretary will always be yours, and no one else will take it."
Neither of them realized that their conversation had already crossed the line between boss and employee, carrying an ambiguous connotation.
At this moment, Yang Chaoyue nestled in Qin Tian's arms, so close they could almost hear each other's heartbeats. Yet, neither of them paid any attention to these details, as if it were all perfectly natural.
