Chapter 71 The Historical Truth That Has Troubled a 95-Year-Old Actress for Many Years
After changing her clothes, Gu Luojin was led by a staff member and bumped into Song Zuer.
Song Zuer's agent proactively reminded him: "This is Gu Luojin, a rising star who is currently enjoying great popularity. His latest film, 'The Big Shot,' has grossed over 4 million yuan at the box office."
"He also released a single called 'The Wind Rises,' which reached diamond record status and sold over 570 million copies."
"There's no competition between you, so you don't need to offend anyone. You might even have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Song Zuer has also tried her hand at the big screen, but the two films she starred in were box office flops.
The film she starred in, "Los Angeles Mischief," grossed only 896 million, resulting in huge losses for the investors, who concluded that she couldn't carry a film at the box office.
In his second film, he lost his lead role and became a supporting actor, and the box office was only 3700 million.
That's how cruel the world is. If your first film doesn't perform well at the box office, investors won't give you a second chance.
However, in the television drama field, Song Zuer is thriving, especially with the drama "The Bond" 21 years later.
She became an absolute sensation.
Not to mention that after the tax scandal, she returned with two hit dramas, "Bend the Waist" and "Worry-Free Crossing".
This propelled her back into the top three of the 95-generation actresses ranking, just shy of TOP1.
Song Zuer, wearing a black off-the-shoulder dress and a pearl necklace, walked towards him, revealing her fair shoulders.
Gu Luojin had seen her in the flamingo outfit in her previous life, and it was incredibly ugly.
Sometimes Gu Luojin didn't understand either. It was obvious that the clothes wouldn't look good from an ordinary person's perspective, but people in the industry still thought they looked good.
Even when criticized, they will stubbornly insist that ordinary people don't understand aesthetics.
Guan Gege has a deep understanding of this. Several times when she walked the red carpet, her outfits were so ugly that they made it to the top of the trending searches more than once.
Perhaps it was to highlight the artist's and designer's forward-thinking vision; he was just an ordinary person.
I'll say "Yes" to someone who's good-looking, and "No" to someone who's not.
Skr~
He has no right to offer suggestions to the designer, and he has the right to refuse to wear the clothes.
"Hello, Teacher Gu. I am Song Zuer, a young actress. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello, Teacher Song, it's a pleasure to meet you too."
The two exchanged polite greetings.
[Ding: Song Zuer's favorability towards you is 60.]
This is what normal goodwill looks like. Little Yellow Duck started with 70, clearly just attracted to his good looks.
Turning her head, Gu Luojin saw a familiar face: "Gugu, it's nice to see you here."
"Xiao Gu, are you here for filming today too?"
At this point, Gu Luojin was a rising star with both popularity and representative works, no longer the unknown figure he once was.
He could clearly sense that Zhou Xun's tone and demeanor were much warmer when she spoke with him.
[Zhou Xun's favorability rating: 40.]
That's obvious, who would want to come if they didn't want to film?
Wouldn't it be nice to sleep in a warm bed, holding your sweet and soft Meng Jie in your arms?
This level of affection suggests she's still worried about losing her rising star, Zhang Jingyi, and is quite wary of him.
This big flower herself had a great time dating and wouldn't let Zhang Jingyi date, but can she really stop a relationship?
Although he and Zhang Jingyi had only met a few times, the girl was already deeply in love with him.
The favorability rating of 85 is clearly displayed.
"Yes, sister."
"Let's talk next time, I'm leaving now."
After Zhou Xun, the senior colleague, left, the atmosphere of their conversation became much more relaxed.
There are senior figures around, so we need to take care of their feelings.
"Teacher Song, your portrayal of Xia Yingying in 'The Night Prince' was excellent."
Most people know her through her role as Nezha in "The Legend of Nezha".
In her previous life, as a professional in the industry, Gu Luojin did not dislike being friends with Song Zuer. On the contrary, she found her to be very straightforward, honest, and sensible.
In one scene of the reality show "Divas Hit the Road 3", there were only six spots available for the float dancing parade.
As the youngest member, Song Zuer took the initiative to say that she did not want to go, thus avoiding this controversy over the selection of members.
When she left the group, she was carrying the bags of the other three female guests. Suffering from paronychia, she walked a long way before entering the venue and waited in the rain for her performance.
A single-parent family, a foreign country, an 18-year-old girl with a foot injury, all alone, and it's raining.
To be honest, the loneliness and desolation buffs are fully stacked.
If it were guests from the second or sixth season, there would have been a huge uproar over who wouldn't go.
As for the argument with Lai Yumeng, it was more like a disagreement between two little girls; once they communicated, it was over.
At the time, the popularity of "Divas Hit the Road 3" was low, which was inseparable from Hunan TV's role in stirring up trouble.
The child star role of Nezha also led her into a rumor about her and Shu Chang.
The rumors can be categorized in several ways, including but not limited to those mentioned above.
Some people say that Song Zuer's mother married Shu Chang's uncle, but they later broke up and fell out.
Song Zuer hooked up with a rich second-generation heir to ask for resources, drugged Shu Chang, and was eventually rescued by Shu Chang's boyfriend.
Is this the truth?
In fact, Song Zuer's real name is not Sun Bijuan as stated on Baidu, but Sun Fanqing.
Baidu, as everyone knows, allows data to be edited.
A Chinese student studying in Russia fabricated the history of a country on Wikipedia in order to play a game.
Many people even believe that seeking medical advice online is tantamount to a death sentence.
I understand everything I understand.
Song Zuer filmed "You Are an Angel" when she was six years old. The director met her by chance in a supermarket.
Later, at the age of nine, he signed with the company that Shu Chang worked for. The two actual controllers of the company were Song Min and Yang Jun (the two are a married couple), and they were suspected to be related to Shu Chang.
The contract stipulated that all of Song Zuer's performance income from 2007 to 2012 would be obtained by Yang Jun and others.
The revenue split between Yang Jun and Song Zuer was 100% and 0%, respectively. This extreme economic split was only possible due to the rough development of the entertainment industry in its early stages.
Because Song Zuer's early fame was directly linked to the income of Yang Jun and others, the greater Song Zuer's fame, the more Yang Jun and others earned.
Therefore, Yang Jun, as Song Zuer's former agent, sought income.
They deliberately marketed and fabricated a relationship of cousins between the two to capitalize on the popularity of Shu Chang's singing at the time, when in fact they are not related by blood.
Yang Jun and Song Min's company also marketed several so-called cousins, but the most successful one was Song Zuer.
As for why Song Zuer's surname was changed from Sun to Song.
In order to facilitate the management of Song Zuer's acting contracts, Song Min, another controller of the company, requested that Sun Fanqing be renamed Song Zuer.
Not only did they fabricate a false aunt-niece relationship, but they also deceived Song Zuer by saying it wouldn't affect her school registration.
This has led many people to say that Song Zuer is trying to ride on the fame of Joey Yung and Song Zude. But did she, at the age of nine, actually have any choice?
The name change prevented Song Zuer from enrolling in primary school in Beijing using her real name and deprived her of the opportunity to take normal entrance exams in Beijing.
Since Song Zuer's original Tianjin school registration could not be transferred, she was forced to go to the United States alone at the age of 15 to study high school in order to continue her studies.
Despite this, Song Zuer has never said a bad word about her former agency. Even though her former agency has committed a fundamental breach of contract, they still want to sue her for millions in damages.
In 2013, Shu Chang and Song Zuer stopped interacting, and at that time, the two parties verbally terminated their contract.
Shu Chang unfollowed and cleared Song Zuer's Weibo account in 2016, which was during the first instance of the lawsuit between Song Zuer's parents and Yang Jun.
While Song Zuer was being maliciously slandered and spread across the internet, Shu Chang remained unmoved and indifferent.
He never said a word in public, and even pretended to be oblivious to the turmoil of the world, but after Song Zuer's tax evasion incident, he posted a cryptic message on Weibo.
As someone who watched her grow up from childhood, and even helped her work as a child laborer for several years, one can only say she has a cruel heart.
All of this can be viewed on the China Judgments Online website. This is not an attempt to whitewash the situation, but it is the truth.

I've never believed a verdict before, but I've believed the claims of marketing accounts and online trolls.
The funniest thing is that Shu Chang once said on Happy Camp that her mother had passed away a long time ago.
In reality, her mother never died; the marketing accounts also claimed that she died when she was 10 years old.
When Shu Chang was 13 years old, her mother accompanied her to the Happy Camp, and the two were reunited.
Perhaps it is this experience that makes Song Zuer want to get married and have children as soon as possible.
"You've read 'The Night Prince'?" This surprised Song Zuer.
This TV series is somewhat niche; although it received good ratings, it didn't become popular.
Very few people know about it, unless they are fans.
"Mr. Gu, could you please give me your contact information? We might collaborate in the future."
-
In the future, this word will be used well.
"it is good."
The two artists' assistants handed them their phones, and they added each other on WeChat.
"Teacher Gu can call me Zu'er or Juanjuan. Calling me Teacher Song makes it seem like we're not very familiar with each other."
"You're younger than me, you can call me Brother Gu or Luo Jin, it's fine."
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Gu."
After adding each other on WeChat, the staff guided the two to the photographer.
"Teachers, who wants to take the picture first?"
This is a crucial issue, since celebrities value billing order and ranking.
Gu Luojin just wanted to say that the magazine hadn't even arranged the shooting order properly for such an important event.
The world is truly a makeshift operation.
The agents behind the two were prepared for a fierce confrontation, even to the point of drawing their swords.
Gu Luojin, who was at the height of his popularity, gave way to Song Zuer at this time, and everyone thought he was easy to bully.
Song Zuer, who has been famous for a long time, is currently a rising star among the post-95 generation of actresses, and she should not be allowed to give way to a newcomer.
The brief friendship that had formed between the two was put to the test at this moment.
After exchanging a glance, the two walked out at the same time.
"Ha ha."
Seeing their perfectly synchronized movements, the two of them laughed at the same time.
"Why don't you go first?" They both extended their hands to invite the other person to go first.
This made the two of them laugh again: "Brother Gu, it seems we're on the same wavelength."
"I didn't expect that either."
The managers of the two artists behind them breathed a sigh of relief. The two artists were not at odds; on the contrary, they seemed to feel like they had known each other for a long time.
After some polite exchanges, Song Zuer stepped forward.
"Brother Gu, you go take your picture first, and then we'll take a group photo together."
[Ding: Task triggered. Popular actress Song Zuer invites you to take a photo together. You have the following options:]
[One: By declining her invitation, you will become the spokesperson for Xiaomi Mi 9 in China.]
[Second: Accepting her invitation will greatly increase your chances of getting a role in "Joy of Life".]
This is a huge resource IP for male-oriented content. In his previous life, Zhang Ruoyun only needed to control the "Joy of Life" IP to be the top actor in period dramas.
The person who first wanted to film "Joy of Life" was Yu-Gi-Oh! In 14, the official media of "Joy of Life" released the news that it would be co-produced by Hainan Media and Bona Film Group, and that Chen Xiao was expected to star in the film.
Chen Xiao, who was cast as the male lead, declined the invitation due to scheduling conflicts.
Since their own artists didn't have time, and Yaya also gave up on taking the role, the novel eventually ended up in the hands of director Sun Hao.
However, a deeper level of influencing factors is the bet and cooperation between Tencent and New Classics Media, which also involves "Joy of Life 2".
It took five years to be released.
"Joy of Life" became a pawn in New Classics Media's gamble. Along with "Joy of Life," which was initially not taken seriously, there was also "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace," which New Classics Media had great confidence in but which dragged them into a quagmire.
New Classics Media has also produced well-received dramas such as "Our Parents' Love," "White Deer Plain," and "The First Half of My Life."
A film and television company whose works achieve both high ratings and high viewership.
One was in charge of filming, and the other was in charge of the intellectual property. Everyone thought it was a powerful alliance between the two, but investors were not buying it.
A total of HK$50 billion has evaporated, for no other reason than that New Classics Media is not worth the price.
Despite its relatively well-known status, the acquisition price of 155 billion yuan is more than three times higher than the market value of Huanrui, which has also produced many successful IPs and is already listed.
Everyone is asking why New Classics Media is worth this price, because before the acquisition, New Classics Media was heavily indebted.
其中15—17年资产负债率分别达到52.31%、61.13%、70%。
Affected by the ban on historical dramas, New Classics Media's net cash flow was negative 3.1 million yuan in 2017.
Everyone is curious how such a money-losing product could be sold for a high price of 155 billion.
Everyone has the same answer: behind these two is the real biggest financial backer, Tencent, and its strategic layout.
This acquisition only benefits Penguin, which was acquired in March 2018 to address its shortcomings in film and television production.
Tencent then acquired a 27.642% stake in New Classics Media from Guangxian Media for 33.17 billion yuan.
With the largest investor holding shares, the market tacitly agrees that Tencent Video will purchase and broadcast all of New Classics Media's dramas in the future.
His artists also have more opportunities to participate in big productions invested by Tencent. Back then, Xiao Zhan was still a nobody, but he successfully played a minor role in the sequel to "Monster Hunt," which broke domestic film box office records.
Because of Tencent, even though New Classics Media's financial report was terrible, it still managed to reach a market value of 120 billion.
As for New Classics Media, they felt confident enough to sign the contract, based on just three words: "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".
At the time, the copyright for a single episode of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" sold for 1500 million yuan, of which Tencent's 900 million yuan was a certainty, and the remaining 600 million yuan was paid by Hunan TV and Hunan TV.
At the end of 17, "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" obtained a broadcast license and was just waiting for the TV station to schedule it.
"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" failed to air on television, resulting in a loss of over 500 million yuan in revenue, and was also overshadowed by "Story of Yanxi Palace," a drama with the same theme.
They were the first to broadcast it online.
As a result, in 2018, New Classics Media only achieved 65% of its KPI, saving 8.5 million yuan in acquisition costs that year.
The following year, New Classics Media continued to seek to broadcast "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" on satellite TV, only to be told that it was completely hopeless.
New Classics Media, which thought it was going to fail again, encountered Xiao Zhan, who was still under their film and television contracts, becoming a sensation.
This massive influx of traffic is free, so why not take advantage of it?
In order to meet its KPIs, New Classics Media rushed to release the movie "Jade Dynasty" starring Xiao Zhan. This big IP was produced and released in less than a year.
Although the ratings were below average, the film still achieved box office returns that were well worth the investment, thanks to its large fan base, which made the performance look better.
However, Wu Xiubo's incident affected several film and television dramas, and Xiao Zhan alone could not save New Classics Media's KPIs.
It wasn't until the phenomenal success of "Joy of Life" that New Classics Media achieved a net profit of 6.6 million yuan.
Xinli thought that with its big IP and traffic, it would definitely be able to fulfill its bet next year, but then it encountered the mask incident.
The entire film and television industry is in dire straits, and top star Xiao Zhan's involvement in the 227 Incident has only made matters worse for New Classics Media.
"Joy of Life 2" became New Classics Media's lifeline. With the huge success of "Joy of Life 1", New Classics Media dared not rush to release it.
Not to mention that they also had to coordinate the original cast and crew to film during the mask-wearing period. All of this meant that filming "Joy of Life 2" would lead to increased investment from New Classics Media and a long payback period.
Sacrificing reputation makes it difficult to fulfill the bet, so it's better to preserve this most successful IP and then recoup some losses.
If the Xiaomi 9 were replaced with the Xiaomi 13 or 14, which are already high-end models, Gu Luojin might hesitate.
As for the Xiaomi 9 phone endorsement, let Wang Yuan take it; we won't steal it from him.
He should just accept the big IP "Joy of Life" honestly and sign a three-season contract. No one—Tencent, New Classics Media, or the director—would refuse his sincerity.
"no problem."
She's such a thoughtful little sister; she gave him a big gift as soon as she arrived.
Fortunately, I knew the truth and didn't refuse her.
But the four words "highly likely" left Gu Luojin puzzled.
-
The system usually provides guaranteed rewards, but this time it's uncertain. Has something changed?
The actresses born in 95 who he met all seemed quite friendly to him, but the male actors were extremely hostile towards him.
[Ding: The young actor with the four-character name holds a grudge against you; hatred level: 30.]
Well, they snatched resources from the youngest member of the group, which is the treatment they deserve.
