From Investing in 95-Year-Old Actresses to Becoming an Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 59 Guiding the Well Field

Han Ziming: "Alright, if you don't understand anything, you can ask County Chief Li. He's a real expert. I'm currently at school studying for exams. I'll be waiting for you to come back!"

Zhang Ruonan: "Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. Let's talk again when we get back to Beijing."

After exiting the WeChat chat, Han Ziming suddenly realized that there was no one left to talk to.

Originally, Zhou Ye was a younger sister at the Beijing Film Academy, but unfortunately, the movie "Kuai Ge" was about to be released, and she went to do promotions with the movie's main creative team.

Just then, Director Huang said there would be exams in January, so Han Ziming had no choice but to be a model student at school and study hard.

However, he now goes for a morning run every day to train his legs, because he needs a certain level of physical strength to become a "Wolf Warrior".

As for why we train legs?

Men who don't train their legs will regret it sooner or later!

Just like that saying,

Touch those long legs, and everything will go smoothly!

It's the same principle, applause if you understand!

Of course, other things happened in between.

For example, I often play League of Legends with my two roommates.

Most surprisingly, when the promotional tour for the movie "The Great Wall" was halfway through, before Han Ziming's movie was even released, Jing Tian agreed to star in the movie "The Tragedy".

-----------------

this day,

Han Ziming was engrossed in his studies.

Jingtian suddenly initiated a WeChat video call.

Han Ziming hesitated for a moment before clicking to connect.

Seeing Ida in his pajamas on the phone screen, he shook his head for a moment before snapping back to reality.

But the background is actually a hotel.

At this moment, Jingtian asked with a hint of expectation in his voice.

"Junior brother, I saw that your film 'The Beginning' was a huge hit. Do you think our movie next year will be as popular as you said?"

Han Ziming's lips curled up into a reassuring smile.

"Sweetie, what's wrong? After seeing 'The Beginning' become so popular, you still have doubts?"

A hint of shyness flashed across Ida's face, and he said with a touch of reproach.

"What do you mean, 'sweetie'? You have to call me 'senior sister'!"

Han Ziming looked at his phone screen and said seriously.

"Tell me, aren't you sweet?"

"Everyone online is saying the same thing, so why can't I?"

"Ida asked with a puzzled look on his face."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Everyone in the industry says I'm not famous, and now that 'The Great Wall' is out, they're talking about me too. Why did you still choose me as the female lead?"

Han Ziming began to explain in a serious tone.

"Everyone online knows you're not famous, but none of the famous people have your level of national recognition!"

Jingtian rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless.

"Does being infamous count as being famous? I clearly followed Teacher Zhang's path, and she still became famous!"

Han Ziming is about to burst into wealth!

"You're just one hit drama away from becoming a sensation. If you can salvage your reputation, you'll become an overnight sensation."

And don't you have some misunderstanding about Teacher Zhang? Although she's very famous, her movies have consistently flopped!

Ida's expression turned somewhat angry as he spoke.

"I've cast so many big names in my film, why isn't it working out?"

Han Ziming rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.

"Those big stars are just accommodating your acting skills when they make movies and TV shows, which lowers the quality, doesn't it? And you don't even look at the scripts you chose."

Ida said helplessly:

"So that's why netizens are saying that I'm holding these big names back?"

Han Ziming encouraged him:

"You know that, but to become famous, you have to go through a phase of being criticized. With your looks and some acting skills, your rivals at this age must be getting anxious!"

Didn't you notice that all the media outlets are saying your acting is bad, but nobody's saying anything about your looks? But every cloud has a silver lining; it's resulted in netizens having a pretty good impression of you!

Jing Tian suddenly realized and said, "Oh, is that so? No wonder everyone says I have bad acting skills and am just a resource-backed actor!"

Han Ziming raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile.

"They're telling the truth, but having resources and connections and not using them is foolish, isn't it?"

Ida frowned and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Then can you tell me how to become popular?"

Han Ziming looked earnest and serious.

"First, stay away from scumbags, and don't film them flirting with others."

Ida rolled his eyes and said irritably:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even have a boyfriend yet. I just recently met an athlete."

Han Ziming's expression turned serious.

"Is your surname Zhang?"

Jing Tian looked at Han Zimo in surprise and asked in confusion.

How did you know?

"You're not going to investigate me just because I made a movie, are you?"

Han Ziming got straight to the point, speaking with great care.

"Please, it's normal to do some background checks before casting you as the female lead in a movie. And stay as far away from the sports industry as possible."

The athletes face a lot of pressure, and some of them like to engage in thrill-seeking activities. In short, their circle is quite chaotic.

You can have someone investigate it yourself. If you can't find anything, then I'll tell you, so you won't think I'm lying to you.

Ida pursed his lips and said.

"I understand, I'll reject him. But 'The Great Wall' is definitely going to flop. Do you have any way to help me recover some losses?"

Han Ziming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her refuse Teacher Zhang, but he still really needed to think of a solution.

I remember in my past life, some media outlets said that the biggest mystery of "The Great Wall" was...

It's not about where the Taotie monster came from, but about just how powerful Jingtian's backing really is.

What kind of feeling does she give people in this drama?

It's like a super awesome band made up of a bunch of big names, with a whole bunch of celebrities fawning over her.

But Ida only has one expression.

"I know you don't like me, but you can't do anything about it."

Also, Lu Han, Zheng Kai, and Wang Junkai were too distracting.

Although everyone is criticizing Jing Tian, ​​Han Ziming feels that the acting skills of other young actresses aren't that great either.

The acting was indeed mediocre.

But if those young actresses and Jing Tian switched lives, who knows how happy those who criticize her would be?

Han Ziming thought about it seriously.

"Go act in TV dramas. If you keep going to the movie industry and Hollywood, your public image won't improve."

Look how popular Zhao Yingbao's TV dramas have been these past two years. Even though she gets criticized, she has a huge fan base. The most important thing is choosing the right script. I have some good scripts here, but they're not suitable for you right now.

Jing Tian glared at Han Ziming and said defiantly.

"Why not? How much is it? I'll buy it!"

Han Ziming grinned mischievously.

"It's a matter of not matching the temperament. Buying it won't help. You need to have a relationship, experience being dumped, and then you need to have that kind of temperament to act well."

"Didn't you just tell me to stay away from scumbags?"

Ida laughed.

Han Ziming smiled. Although he didn't know if the matter was true or not, he was still happy to snatch it away, since he still wanted the theater resources behind Jingtian.

"I'm still here, aren't I? Even if you're a jerk, I'll still take care of you."

Jingtian was somewhat surprised, and her face turned slightly red.

"Get lost! No wonder you didn't call me 'Senior Sister' and dared to flirt with me; you were just after my body!"

Han Ziming quickly waved his hand.

"Don't be angry, I was just kidding. Don't you usually do live streams on Weibo? Try to be more down-to-earth. Since everyone says your acting is bad, just accept it. You can also focus on marketing your looks."

After hearing this, Jing Tian sighed and rubbed his forehead again.

"Talking about looks? That would just get us even more criticized online!"

Han Ziming began to explain seriously.

"I'm not asking you to exaggerate or say things like 'once in thousands of years,' but you could plan a live makeup removal session so everyone can see your bare face."

Ida stared wide-eyed, saying incredulously.

"You've finally shown your true colors!"

"Posting a picture of yourself without makeup—isn't that just asking for my death?"
