At the dinner, Qin Zhou and Liang Yin finalized a few matters. Before they officially announced their debut, the packaging team proposed a publicity plan.
Qin Zhou specifically asked for Liang Yin’s opinion. After all, as a newcomer and a fledgling, she was almost an unknown. It would be difficult to negotiate a good price when taking on scripts and events in the future.
Although, Liang Yin was comparably capable with good acting skills. Qin Zhou had also roughly scanned the edited scenes and noted her solid performance. She was spiritual and talented as a performer, this was really commendable. It pointed to her good qualifications and unlimited potential in the future.
However, there were many capable people in this circle and there was never a lack of acting talent. Under this premise, she had to make a name for herself before she could gain attention. Only by gaining attention could Liang Yin’s acting skills and potential be discovered by the audience.
To gain fame in the entertainment industry, one needs to be a topic of conversations. Only then will there be exposure. And in such a chaotic industry, exposure is needed.
The packaging team suggested that Liang Yin and Hua Jin could hype up their relationship.
Initially, Qin Zhou didn’t quite agree with it. However, hyping up a relationship was a tried and tested method. Not only were there contract lovers in the entertainment industry now, but also contract married couples. As the name suggested, it was a combination of benefits. Superficially, they pretended to be a loving couple, but in reality, they led their own lives in private.
The PR team promised repeatedly that they would never do anything too scandalous. Only then did Qin Zhou relent. He asked the team to come up with a plan first. After he’d read it and there were no problems, they could discuss further.
Before her debut, Qin Zhou had even finalized a training schedule for Liang Yin. Dancing. Singing. She had to undergo intensive training for both. It would be best if he could nurture Liang Yin into an all-rounded artiste. In addition, improvisation and acting skills training were also part of the training program. To that end, Qin Zhou made a point of contacting the famous specialist tutor, an academic professor, to guide Liang Yin.
It was only then that Liang Yin realized that the tutor Qin Zhou had contacted for her was expensive. She was stunned by the six-figure fees!
Six figures!
What was that?
It was said that the honorary professor of the Jingyang Film Academy, Li Changde, had nurtured three Best Actor and two Best Actress. He was absolutely respected in the circle. Many A-list celebrities were in awe of him. Besides, he was a guiding consultant for many films. If not for Qin Zhou, he might not have taken Liang Yin under his wing even if they were to pay him hundreds of thousands per session. There were so many talented newcomers, not everyone could catch his eye.
After the schedule had been put together, Liang Yin’s life began to get busy. She started to run back and forth among the production team, the company, and the film academy.
She had one meeting with Li Changde and performed one of the sequences from the literary film “Years Like Water”. When Li Changde saw this, he was somewhat surprised, but not entirely satisfied.
Her acting skills were good, but there were many details that were lacking. He had assumed that Liang was a professional stream student and was therefore extremely strict with her. Seeing that she even had problems with basic positioning, Li Changde criticized her.
Liang Yin gritted her teeth and accepted it. She did not say anything. She was not a specialist or professional stream student and felt that since she was learning, it was not a bad thing to be strict. In the end, she was scolded and thoroughly dressed down.
The old man was in his sixties, close to seventy. He had also participated in many movies previously. There was no doubt about his acting skills. He was a famous veteran actor and was even stricter with himself.
