, Cunzi's "Derailment"

In the past, there were two types of artists: popular stars and supporting actors.

One very interesting point is that fans of popular celebrities don't see their idols as just "traffic stars" at all; in their eyes, their idols are definitely talented actors.

Your sister is a talented actress, and so is my brother. Neither of us are popular celebrities, but we both have bright futures. This is what they mean by "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." After becoming famous, fans will naturally defend me.

Li Han explained his views on the future of the Chinese entertainment industry to Zhang Yi in detail. In short, it was all about traffic and marketing. Once a work becomes a hit, countless fans will naturally flock to it.

Once celebrities gain fame, all sorts of endorsements and deals will line up and be offered to them; isn't that how companies make money?

Zhang Yi, who was nearly seventy years old, couldn't understand what Li Han was saying, but Zhang Mo, who was next to him, was surprised that this young man was so pragmatic.

Cheng Wu, who was standing next to Li Han, also winked at him. He agreed with Li Han's words. "Don't you see the four returned idols now? Aren't they all top-tier celebrities? They rely on their pretty faces."

However, this approach works for TV dramas, but not for movies; the box office results will teach you a lesson.

Liu Haocun blinked his big eyes as he looked at Li Han, who was speaking eloquently in front of him.

"...So, in my opinion, the future development of the Chinese entertainment industry will be a combination of variety shows and idol dramas. Idol dramas can make someone a star, while variety shows can make someone's career come back to life..." Li Han said.

"Mm." Zhang Yi nodded.

"Xiao Han, are you saying that Hao Cun will have to walk this path in the future too?"

"Director Zhang, I'm not saying Haocun has to film idol dramas, but we absolutely can't give up on television dramas. People who watch dramas will watch them because of you, but people who watch movies will have to think about it, since movies cost real money," Li Han said.

"And..." He glanced at Liu Haocun.

"Web series are really easy to attract fans."

Seeing this, Liu Haocun smiled at her. She and Li Han hadn't spoken much tonight; whenever Li Han looked at her, she would just smile back.

Zhang Yi smiled as he looked at Li Han.

"Xiao Han, do you mean you want Hao Cun to take this opportunity to act in some dramas?"

Li Han didn't answer directly, but looked at Liu Haocun and smiled, "I think Haocun might want to be a pure movie star right now, but once she acts in a drama and gains a group of fans, she will immediately enjoy the benefits."

There aren't that many movie stars out there. The film industry isn't easy to navigate; movies can really lose money.

"Indeed, I think so too. Web dramas are indeed very easy to attract fans," Zhang Mo nodded and said. Zhang Yi glanced at her daughter upon hearing this.

"However, with web series, it can take ten or eight years to make, but movies are a different story," Zhang Mo added.

"That's right, web series guarantee a minimum standard, and movies guarantee a maximum standard." Li Han nodded in agreement. It has to be said that no matter which country you're in, making movies is always a cut above making TV series, especially web series and idol dramas.

"That's Haocun." Zhang Yi looked at Liu Haocun.

"We've been talking about you the whole time, so don't stay silent. What do you think?"

"This..." Liu Haocun felt a little shy and embarrassed when he saw that everyone was looking at him.

Li Han also looked at Liu Haocun, blinked, and couldn't imagine that the cute and soft girl in front of him would grow into an "attitude sister" many years later.

Is this still the Jiang Xiaoyuan in my mind?

"...Oh dear, I don't know either." Liu Haocun said in a soft, cute voice, his eyes narrowed, with a smile that revealed his teeth.

She's just a naive, innocent-looking college student. What does she know? She'll just do whatever Zhang Yi tells her to do.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that Zhang Yi was having a good time, Li Han pressed on, saying, "Director Zhang, if I have a suitable script later, I'd like Hao Cun to take a look. It's better to debut as soon as possible. With Hao Cun's image, he'll definitely attract a lot of fans after his debut, and he'll definitely get endorsements and the like."

"Okay, no problem." Since things had come to this point, Zhang Yi couldn't say anything more.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Wu glanced at Li Han. Could this kid be trying to get his hands on Liu Haocun's GG contract?

When Liu Haocun heard Li Han say that she had a good image, she almost burst out laughing, but there were other people at the dinner table, so she could only suppress her laughter.

Li Han turned to look at Liu Haocun. He was about to say something when he saw Liu Haocun's suppressed laughter, and he almost burst out laughing too.

"Hao Cun".

"Hmm?" Liu Haocun blinked and looked up.

"Director Zhang said you have a lot of talent in acting. Do you think you are talented?" Li Han asked.

Liu Haocun glanced at Zhang Yimou, blinked his big eyes, and then...

"Hmm... how can it not count?" Cunzi shook her head and laughed, making a joke, almost exactly the same as in the original interview.

Upon seeing the genuine version, Li Han couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, Haocun, in the entertainment industry, you have to have confidence."

"Haha, yes, you have to have confidence to succeed in the entertainment industry," Zhang Yimou laughed.

Liu Haocun looked at everyone, unable to resist squinting and smiling, revealing his white teeth, like an adorable little raccoon.

"Tonight was worth it; just that sentence alone makes it worthwhile."

As night fell and it got late, Cheng Wu paid the bill, and Zhang Mo helped her father to the restroom, leaving only Li Han and Liu Haocun in the private room.

Liu Haocun blinked his big eyes and glanced furtively at Li Han...

Li Han picked up his phone, turned to look at Liu Haocun, and burped.

Upon seeing this, Liu Haocun quickly lowered his head, picked up the juice with both hands, and took a sip.

"Haocun, let's add each other on WeChat," Li Han said.

"Okay, sure." Liu Haocun picked up his phone and nodded.

"Haocun, Director Zhang is undoubtedly excellent in film; he's a national treasure. But with the rapid pace of development in this era of the internet, anything can happen." After exchanging contact information, Li Han looked at Liu Haocun and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haocun blinked and looked at Li Han.

"Just a few months ago I was still a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and now I'm already discussing collaborations with Director Zhang," Li Han said.

"What does this have to do with the Internet?" Liu Haocun muttered to himself.

"After a while, I'll write a rough draft, and then you and Director Zhang..." Li Han said, then suddenly froze.

No! "Off Track" is based on a novel. This TV series is based on a novel.

Seeing Li Han suddenly freeze, Liu Haocun pouted, raised her small, fair hand, picked up the glass in front of her, and took a sip of juice. Her little actions looked just like those of a child.
