Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world
Chapter 288 9: "Subverting" the Entertainment Industry 10
Audrey smiled and then asked, "What about you? These two books..."
"You have everything, but you still have to choose a role that suits me and doesn't have many scenes. The choice of the director of "Empresses in the Palace" must be made with great caution."
Audrey assured, "Don't worry, it may be difficult to simply recruit people, but there will be no problem with this." She picked up the script, gestured, and went out to prepare for work.
Lin Dai sat alone in the office, thinking about the funds needed for the next things. Both dramas are large-scale productions, and the venue needs to be set up, various materials and safety equipment need to be purchased, and the post-production special effects of "The Journey of Flower" must all be excellent. Most importantly, each drama requires a large number of actors, which will also be a considerable expense.
Lin Dai dared to guarantee that there would be many companies wanting to invest in these two dramas, and of course there would be actors added from other groups, so she had to nip this situation in the bud.
For now, the money is enough. After all, she has earned a lot of money from the copyright fees of "Wei" before, but she feels that she is not in a hurry to do things with so much money in hand.
She is serious about making money.
Thinking of this, Lin Dai got up and went home to pack her luggage. She left for abroad the next day and sent a message to Audrey before the plane took off.
At this moment, Audrey is sitting in a high-end coffee shop. The environment inside the shop is elegant, the lighting is soft, and the semi-open private space is separated by gauze curtains, creating a unique artistic atmosphere.
Before Audrey could wait for the person she wanted to meet, the message sounded. When she clicked it, the expression on her face became puzzled.
Lin Dai sent: "I'm leaving for Paris to attend Fashion Week. Call me if you need anything."
Audrey said to herself in confusion: "Why didn't I know she received the invitation?" Then she called her, but the call was not connected.
At this time, the coffee shop waiter came over and said, "Miss, your client has arrived."
Audrey quickly put away her phone, stood up to greet him, smiled and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, Director Shan, please take a seat."
The man known as Director Shan is the nationally renowned director artist Shan Qifei. He is 60 years old this year, but his face is still radiant.
"Hello, Miss Audrey, I wonder what's the matter that you asked me to come here so mysteriously?" Director Shan asked as he sat down.
Audrey didn't rush to talk, but asked the waiter to bring him a cup of hot coffee: "Director Shan, the coffee here is not the best, but it's not bad. Try it. I'll let Director Shan try something better when there's a chance."
Director Shan didn't ask any more questions and they just drank coffee together.
Paris is a city full of romance and art. The Seine River flows gently around it like a green ribbon, reflecting the prosperity and tranquility on both sides of the river.
After more than ten hours of flight, Lin Dai arrived in Paris safely. It was already around 7 o'clock in the morning in Paris. Lin Dai opened her mobile phone and looked at the message on it.
Audrey: "The director has contacted me and said he would consider it. Why are you in Paris again? What the hell is going on? When you get there, remember to reply to me."
Lin Dai smiled and didn't reply to her in a hurry. Instead, she made a phone call and left the airport by taxi.
The new season of Paris' Autumn and Winter Fashion Week has entered its second day. In the afternoon, the organizers held a grand red carpet event, followed by the much-anticipated fashion show, and a dinner after the show.
Lin Dai was wearing DA's latest dress at this time. This dress has a deep burgundy base and cleverly combines retro and modern design elements. The streamlined cut of the skirt perfectly outlines her graceful figure. Coupled with perfect makeup, she was like a proud red swan on the red carpet, attracting attention.
"Lin, this dress is tailor-made for you. You are worthy of being my muse." Lin Dai's male companion, DA's chief designer Jin, praised proudly.
"Thank you, yours is good too." Lin Dai responded with a smile, with gratitude in her eyes, "But I really want to thank you for inviting me here. To be honest, this is my first experience of fashion week."
Lin Dai held Jin's arm with one hand, her manners were full of elegance, and she gently waved her other hand to greet the media. Although the foreign media present did not know her, the highly-regarded designer Jin beside her attracted a lot of attention. In addition, Lin Dai's own strong aura and extraordinary temperament made many media cameras unconsciously focus on her.
But in fact, Lin Dai herself was actually thinking about getting more shots of the man next to her.
Shortly after Lin Dai finished walking the red carpet, a striking couple, Li Zhengrong and Mu Wanqing, walked onto the red carpet. They were also unfamiliar with the woman, but they had a certain understanding of the man. The reason why Li Zhengrong appeared at this occasion was entirely due to Mu Wanqing's wishes.
In addition, many domestic celebrities gathered at this Paris Fashion Week, but for Lin Dai, she basically didn't know any of them, so she didn't care.
After the red carpet ceremony, the fashion show began. As Kim's female companion, Lin Dai had the honor of sitting in the best seat, surrounded by big names and celebrities in the fashion and film and television circles.
Most of them had met Lin Dai a year ago, so they all greeted each other, and some even made gestures to make appointments to have a drink together at the dinner. The atmosphere was particularly good.
Lin Dai smiled and responded to everyone. As she looked around, her eyes suddenly paused and locked onto the people in a row of seats not far away. There, Mu Wanqing and Li Zhengrong were sitting side by side. Mu Wanqing adjusted her clothes from time to time, while Li Zhengrong looked very calm.
Lin Dai raised her eyebrows slightly, and then a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. I don’t know what interesting thing she thought of.
At this moment, the system suddenly said, "Mu Wanqing was invited by the Da brand. She is the spokesperson for a lipstick in Asia. Li Zhengrong would not have participated in such an event himself, but Mu Wanqing insisted that he accompany him."
"I know it without you telling me." Lin Dai responded lightly, her tone full of ridicule.
The system then said, "The news about Mu Wanqing attending Paris Fashion Week has quickly topped the trending search list on the domestic Internet. Especially because of Li Zhengrong's company, it has aroused the envy and admiration of many netizens. So, Miss, do you want to publish the photos you asked me to take now?"
"No, don't worry, I'll send it after the dinner."
After saying that, Lin Dai turned her gaze to the catwalk, ready to watch the show.
The 10-minute fashion show was soon over, and many people returned to the hotel to change into new dresses to attend the evening banquet.
The banquet venue was decorated luxuriously and elegantly, with crystal chandeliers casting soft and bright light, creating a dreamy and elegant atmosphere.
The distinguished guests attending the banquet were dressed in gorgeous dresses, chatting and laughing, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Lin Dai was still wearing the latest style of dress. She followed Jin into the banquet venue slowly, gently picked up a glass of champagne, took a sip, said goodbye to Jin, and went to look for friends she knew.
Just as they were chatting happily and taking photos, a brand owner came over with his spokesperson to say hello.
Lin Dai turned her head and found that it was Jin with Mu Wanqing. She calmly picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she was stopped by someone.
"Hi, Lin, please stay. I'll introduce you to a friend."
Hearing this, Lin Dai turned back helplessly, put on a polite smile on her face, and asked pretending to be ignorant: "What's wrong?"
"Lin, let me introduce you to our brand spokesperson, Mu Wanqing. She is also from China. I thought you should know her, so I brought her here to meet her." Jin introduced the two of them enthusiastically, "Mu, this is Lin Dai, an actress from your country, and also my good friend."
Mu Wanqing's eyes were filled with surprise. She looked at the radiant woman opposite her. Is this Lin Dai? Is this really the Lin Dai she knew?
However, Lin Dai's reaction was unusually cold. She just glanced at Mu Wanqing indifferently, uttered two simple words "Hello" and said nothing else.
Mu Wanqing was stunned by Lin Dai's attitude. She didn't expect that she would express her dislike for her so directly in such a situation.
She had no choice but to politely respond with a "hello" and then tactfully stopped talking.
Everyone present soon noticed the subtle atmosphere between Lin Dai and Mu Wanqing, as if the relationship between the two was not so harmonious.
Jin Ye quickly realized that he might have done something bad with good intentions. He quickly tried to smooth things over and gently patted Mu Wanqing on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "Then you guys continue chatting. I'll take her somewhere else to meet some new friends."
Although Mu Wanqing was unhappy, she still maintained perfect self-control and magnanimity, and responded with a smile: "Okay, Designer Jin, thank you very much for your introduction. Miss Lin and I are already acquainted." She nodded to the people present and left with Jin.
Afterwards, Lin Dai snorted in contempt, and her friends beside her were very tactful and did not ask any further questions. They knew very well that in this complex and ever-changing fashion circle and even the entertainment circle, the relationships between people are often complicated, and in many cases, there are more competitors than friends.
At this moment, an excited voice sounded: "Hi, Racing Queen, see you again."
Lin Dai looked up and saw that it was Lance. She thought to herself that her money bag was coming. She immediately went over to him with a smile and greeted him warmly: "Hi, Lance, long time no see."
The first thing Lance said was, "Is there a chance for us to race together this time? I'm free."
Lin Dai smiled and said, "I'm always at your service."
Afterwards, Lin Dai continued to chat at the banquet, while Mu Wanqing returned to Li Zhengrong's side and met bigwigs from all walks of life.
After the banquet, Lin Dai went straight back to the hotel and immediately sent Audrey a series of carefully selected photos and shared a post on her Weibo.
After receiving the message, Audrey immediately called her with a somewhat complaining tone:
"Hey, Miss, can you please say hello before you do anything? Also, I asked you to reply to my message when you arrived, but you didn't reply for a whole day."
Lin Dai quickly explained: "I'm sorry, time is too urgent. I just sent you a message when I got back to the hotel. Sort out those photos, post them on Weibo officially, and I will post them later."
Audrey replied unhappily, "I know."
"By the way, I met Mu Wanqing, but I didn't treat her well."
Audrey on the other end of the phone was stunned after hearing this, and then said with a hint of helplessness: "The photos of Mu Wanqing's schedule for Paris Fashion Week, including the photos of the dinner, have been circulated on Weibo. In the photos, Mu Wanqing and many celebrities and bigwigs looked very lively and harmonious. This also means that her trip to this fashion week has ended successfully and she has gained a lot. But... others may not notice it, but people who are familiar with you will find a problem..."
"Well, I know I saw it, so I might have to slap her in the face. After all, Mu Wanqing and I can never be friends. Judging from the current situation, we can only be enemies. If she doesn't provoke me, we can live in peace and not interfere with each other. But if she provokes me, I can only apologize."
While Lin Dai was on the phone, she was staring at the photos Mu Wanqing posted. Mu Wanqing was taking photos with everyone, laughing and chatting happily, but her lonely figure inexplicably appeared in the corners of several of her photos. The intention of this move was self-evident, and it was obvious that she was taking revenge on her for her indifference to her at the banquet.
"Well, when will you return home?"
"It will take a few more days. I'll contact you when I get back. Go ahead and get busy."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Dai immediately posted a series of carefully prepared content on the Weibo platform, and then cleverly guided the direction of online public opinion, successfully attracting the attention of a wide range of netizens. Sharp-eyed netizens discovered their trip to Paris and came to a conclusion: Mu Wanqing's photo was interpreted as a commercial photo lacking emotional communication, while Lin Dai's photo was full of sincere emotions, obviously a warm gathering between good friends and sisters.
From this comparison, it is clear who has a higher international status and is more popular.
Finally, another netizen commented: Many wealthy and famous people took photos with Mu Wanqing, simply for the sake of Li's face, otherwise why would they take photos with her.
Another netizen echoed: That’s right, so this is also the reason why Mu Wanqing insisted on going to Paris with President Li.
Some of Mu Wanqing's haters even said: "Didn't you notice? Mu Wanqing's dress is not as good as Lin Dai's. As far as I know, Lin Dai's dress was designed by DA designers personally. Mu Wanqing's dress is not even on the same level as hers."
After returning to China, Mu Wanqing browsed the public opinions on the Internet, and the anger in her heart was hard to contain.
Although she has achieved considerable success in China, she is still a newcomer on the international stage and lacks influential works to enhance her international status.
Although she has endorsements from several international brands, these have not allowed her to make a name for herself internationally. Therefore, on this trip to Paris, Mu Wanqing specifically asked Li Zhengrong to accompany her, hoping to take this opportunity to gain more attention and opportunities.
However, reality poured cold water on her. She was actually outshined by the unsuccessful Lin Dai on the international platform, which made Mu Wanqing very dissatisfied.
But what she didn't expect was that in the following days, the fashion week had ended and everyone had returned to China to work, but Lin Dai was the only one who remained active on foreign social platforms.
There are invitational tournaments with the sons of Canadian tycoons, private appointments with fashion celebrities, and even Hollywood superstars as guides...
Lin Dai updates her Weibo from time to time, which makes domestic netizens realize that Lin Dai's identity is not simple, and even many people in the country cannot compare to her.
It also makes everyone more curious about what Lin Dai’s identity is.
Of course, there were also many lesser-known artists who left messages in the comments, including Cheng Yao and Ye Lin, with whom he had worked before. They blatantly left messages asking for a sponsorship.
Lin Dai also gave a polite reply: Arrange! The company has two big TV series in preparation. You two can go and try to see if there are any roles that suit you.
Cheng Yao and Ye Lin didn't expect the other party to agree so readily and arrange it immediately. In fact, they were just joking, but they didn't expect... The two of them immediately replied: Thank you, Miss!
After finishing a business event meeting, Mu Wanqing returned to the business car and casually scrolled through her phone, looking at various comments on the Internet. She felt very annoyed and put down her phone impatiently.
Zhang Zhe, the agent at the side, asked: "Sister Qing, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. By the way, what's your next schedule?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhe immediately told Mu Wanqing excitedly, "Sister Qing, I just got some good news! The famous director Shan Dao is preparing a large-scale Qing Dynasty palace drama, and it's a female lead drama. I heard that the investment budget for this drama is as high as hundreds of millions. Although the specific details are not clear yet, I think we have a good chance of winning the role of the female lead."
Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this. She asked seriously, "Are you sure this news is reliable?"
Zhang Zhe nodded affirmatively: "It's true."
Mu Wanqing immediately said excitedly, "Director Shan's Qing Dynasty palace drama is definitely the best of the best. He wouldn't easily shoot this kind of drama, let alone a Qing Dynasty palace drama with a female lead. Zhang Zhe, you should continue to learn more and strive for the female lead role as soon as possible."
Zhang Zhe answered confidently: "Okay!"
