Chapter 391: Teddy Sisters Year
Although Liu Xiaoli was shocked by the various reports, the real protagonist of the entertainment news on July 7 was not Liu Yifei, but the Teddy Sisters, who were at the peak of their popularity.
The reason is that on July 7, "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape" starring Hao Lei and "Wolfsbane" starring Jiang Yiyan were broadcast at the same time, and both achieved a great success.
When it was first aired, the popularity and ratings of "Wolfsbane" even surpassed "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape" - mainly because the gimmick of "Xu Sang" once again playing a Japanese devil attracted a lot of attention.
But "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape" soon came from behind and became one of the most popular dramas of the year in just one week. I can't say it has secured a top three spot, but it will definitely be in the top five.
"Wolfsbane" is actually not bad. Although its growth is not as rapid as "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape", it also has the potential to compete in the top 20 of the year.
In view of this, some media took stock and found that in the popular TV series "Struggle" in May, Li Xiaolu and Jiang Xin were both from the Teddy Sisters Group, followed by Hao Lei, the heroine of "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape", and Jiang Yiyan, the heroine of "Wolfsbane".
By the end of the year, The Legend of the Condor Heroes starring Huo Siyan and Liu Shishi will also make its debut.
In other words, the six members of the Teddy Sisters have starred in at least five of this year’s most popular dramas!
Including Qin Lan, who starred in "Assembly", there are seven people in six hit film and television dramas.
If Wang Baoqiang's "Soldier Assault" is included, that makes seven films with eight people.
Gan Wei also became very successful thanks to variety shows...
After reviewing the past, the media exaggeratedly defined 07 as the "Year of the Teddy Sisters".
Although this statement has not been widely recognized, the Teddy Sisters have once again become the focus of media attention. The most prominent one among them is Li Xiaolu, who has been showing off her two foreign girls in public recently.
However, compared to the Teddy Sisters themselves, the media is clearly more interested in their relationship with Xu Kun.
Therefore, the number of people who wanted to interview Xu Kun was just as many as the number of people who were chasing after Li Xiaolu. In the end, Xu Kun became so annoyed that he had to turn off his phone.
He was just wondering whether he should change his number again, when Liu Haibo came to his door and invited him to attend the celebration party of "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape" tomorrow night.
"What's going on with you?"
Liu Haibo complained as he spoke: "When I first called, the line was busy. When I called again later, the phone was turned off."
"Don't mention it. It's all because of those reporters."
Xu Kun waved his hands, indicating that he didn't want to talk about this any more, and then joked, "Brother Liu, aren't you guys too anxious? You have to wait until the first round is over before you celebrate."
"Can't wait any longer."
Liu Haibo pretended to be troubled and said proudly: "We have reached an agreement with Li Yuchun. We will start her advance training in two days. We have to hurry up and get other things done first."
"Tianyu has relented?"
Liu Haibo and Teng Huatao have been negotiating with Tianyu recently. In addition to inviting Li Yuchun to play the leading female role, they also hope that Tianyu can postpone the release of Li Yuchun's second album to coordinate with the movie.
"We've almost finished the discussion. The main reason is that the ratings of Double-Sided Adhesive Tape went through the roof, proving my and Lao Teng's strength, so they were relieved."
Liu Haibo sat down on the sofa and inadvertently saw an invitation on the table. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Why did Fan Bingbing invite you? Is she getting married?"
"How can it be."
Xu Kun said: "They said they were going to set up a personal studio. I didn't quite understand it over the phone, but it's almost like a company. They can take on jobs and invest in movies and TV shows."
“Isn’t that the company?”
Liu Haibo pouted and said, "This woman is really capable of making trouble. I originally thought she was going to join Chengtian Entertainment, but I didn't expect her to start her own company."
Xu Kun felt that there should be a difference between a studio and a company, but he couldn't explain the specific difference, so he didn't argue with Liu Haibo.
So I just further explained: "She will open the business tomorrow morning, and you will celebrate in the evening. It won't affect each other at all."
"That's good."
Liu Haibo said, and suddenly suggested: "Why don't you also start a company? Let's not talk about anything else. Just the few people in the Teddy Sisters who are working alone will be enough to make a name for themselves.
When the time comes, I will ask Lao Teng to join in as well. With the three of us directors, we will have no problem finding connections and resources.”
"Just forget it."
Xu Kun disagreed: "I'm already very busy right now, if I start a company..."
"Once you start a company, you can push more things onto others!"
Originally Xu Kun thought Liu Haibo was just joking, but as he spoke he seemed to be getting more and more serious.
But Xu Kun still didn't care much. Although everyone had some interests involved with each other, they were not made public. Once they were made public, many things would be completely different.
Putting aside other things, if we really sign a few women who work on their own, how should we allocate resources in the future?
If we treat everyone equally, those who signed the contract will definitely not be happy; if we treat everyone equally, those who have not signed the contract will not agree...
So Xu Kun just perfunctorily said: "Even if you want to do it, you have to wait until my contract expires, right?"
Liu Haibo then stopped trying to persuade him.
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was almost noon, they decided to call Baoqiang to go eat something nearby.
As a result, as soon as I came down from upstairs, I met Chen Xuebin, who looked exhausted.
"Why did you turn off your phone for no reason?!" Lao Chen asked repeatedly as soon as he got out of the car: "The boss's wife Zhou Yi called and said she couldn't contact you. I thought something had happened."
"Boss Zhou Yi?"
Xu Kun was puzzled: "Why did she come to me?"
"Aren't we going to replace Yu Bo?"
Chen Xuebin explained: "When Zhou Yi's boss lady heard about this, she wanted to negotiate with us, hoping to keep Yu Bo. If one had to be eliminated, then Zhang Jin would be eliminated.
He also said that this was because Zhang Jin had just starred in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and that in order to be fair, he should give this opportunity to someone else.
"Fair shit."
Xu Kun curled his lips in disdain: "Others may not know, how could I not know? That Yu Bo and the Zhou Yi boss's wife are not in a clear relationship. Usually when there is something good, Yu Bo is given priority. Now you want to treat them equally?"
"I said so."
Chen Xuebin suddenly realized: "I felt that the woman was a little emotional. It turned out that she wanted to stand up for her lover. So how should we respond to her?"
"You just said that Yu Bo and Zhao Wenzhuo have similar image positioning, and Zhao Wenzhuo is more suitable for this role, so we were forced to give up Yu Bo."
"Okay, I thought so too. I was mainly worried that something might happen to you. Hey, why did you turn off your phone?"
"It's because of the Teddy Sisters incident that my phone has been ringing non-stop since this morning..."
…………
at the same time.
Yang Mi, who was walking out of the school library holding a book on acting, was suddenly stopped by a reporter who had sneaked into the Beijing Film Academy campus.
"Hello, are you Yang Mi from the Teddy Sisters? Would you be able to answer a few questions for me?"
Although Yang Mi was preparing for the new Red Building at school, he had been paying attention to the news in the group and naturally knew why these people came.
So she smoothed her temples like a goddess and said with a smile: "You can ask, but I can't guarantee that I will answer."
Hearing her say this, the reporter immediately put the microphone to his own mouth: "As far as we know, the Teddy Sisterhood was established in 05, and you were already the youngest sister in the sisterhood at that time, and you joined the group earlier than Liu Shishi.
So why are you the one who has the least success in the sister group? Is it because you were suppressed and excluded, or do you lack some necessary conditions for success compared to others? "
Yang Mi could hardly hold back the smile on her face.
They are not here for an interview, they are clearly here to cause trouble!
She gritted her teeth secretly, and tried to maintain her composure as she retorted, "Then you may not know enough. If you knew enough, you would know that the drama "Wang Zhaojun" starring me will be officially broadcast soon, and I am preparing for the new Red Mansion..."
Before Yang Mi could finish his words, the reporter seemed to have discovered a new world: "So, the news that Director Li Shaohong is about to take over the new Red Mansion is true?!"
Yang Mi then remembered that the news that Li Shaohong had taken over the New Red Mansion had not yet been officially announced, so he hurriedly said, "I didn't say that. I only said that I was preparing for the New Red Mansion."
Seeing that she had realized what was happening, the reporter did not pursue the question and instead asked, "What role will you play in the new Red Mansion?"
"It's hard to say right now."
After the lesson just now, Yang Mi didn't want to reveal more, but she was young and energetic after all, and she was also unhappy about being called the last one in the Teddy Sisters Group, so she added: "But she is definitely an important role throughout the whole story."
"Can you be more specific?"
Seeing her pleased expression, the reporter speculated further: "Is it Baochai or Daiyu?"
"This one……"
Yang Mi finally didn't get carried away, so she said vaguely: "It's up to the director to decide what role I will play."
Then the reporter suddenly realized, "So Director Li Shaohong is not going to use the actors selected from Beijing and Taiwan? Then what's the difference between Director Li Shaohong and Director Hu Mei?"
Oops!
I said too much without realizing it.
Yang Mi was secretly annoyed and didn't dare to argue with the reporter anymore. He quickly said, "How can I decide these things? Sorry, I still have to go to the cafeteria to get food. Let's end the interview here."
Having said that, he wanted to bypass the reporter and escape.
As a result, the reporter also took two steps sideways and stopped in front of her again, holding up the microphone and said, "Let's ask one last question. Do you like Lin Daiyu or Xue Baochai more?"
"This one……"
Yang Yi thought about it and felt that there shouldn't be any big problem with this topic, so she answered: "Actually, I like them all, but if I really have to rank them, I definitely prefer the considerate Sister Bao."
As she spoke, she walked around the reporter again, and this time the reporter did not try to stop her.
While she breathed a sigh of relief, she also had a headache about how to explain to Li Shaohong - but there had been rumors that the director of the new film "Red Mansion" would be changed, so it shouldn't be a secret, right?
