Chapter 400 Soft and Hard Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, then threw the cigarette back to Xu Kun, took out a box of high-end ladies' cigarettes from his small bag, and waved it at Xu Kun. Then he walked straight towards Li Daqi who was outside the door. Li Daqi, who was still singing an aria just now, now had a look of confusion and struggle on his face, which was unbearable to watch. So Xu Kun closed the door. He sat back in his seat with a big smile and asked Yang Mi, "How was your conversation?" "I just finished telling you what happened." Yang Mi said sullenly, "Sister Zhou is trying to persuade me to be patient. When the matter is over, no one will pay attention to it anymore." "So what do you think?" "It would have been fine to say that in the past, but now is the Internet age, and the Internet has memory!" Yang Mi is not afraid of scandals, but is worried about becoming a clown.
She no longer had any hope for the roles of Chai and Dai, and was hoping that Zhou Xun could mediate and let Li Shaohong say: "Originally, Yang Mi was one of the candidates for the roles of Chai and Dai, but unfortunately missed out on these two roles for some reasons." Normally speaking, a fancy sedan is carried by people, so this casual remark is nothing big, not to mention that Yang Mi is an artist under Rong Xinda. But when I met Li Shaohong... What did Li Shaohong say the last time Yang Mi wanted to clarify his future in Rong Xinda? They said Yang Mi's spirituality had been worn out, that Yang Mi's performance had long been stuck in a mechanical pattern, and that if she didn't correct it in time, she would be doomed... At this time, the door was pushed open again, and the waiter brought in two large casseroles. One casserole contained lamb shanks soaked in red chili oil, and the other casserole contained lamb shanks soaked in even redder chili oil. It seems that Zhou Xun's voice is not just caused by smoke. "Eat first." Xu Kun put on plastic gloves and said, "I can't think of any good ideas when I'm hungry. Wait for Zhou Xun to come back..." Just as he said this, Zhou Xun pushed the door open and walked in. Without saying a word, he sat down at the table and started putting on plastic gloves. "Is it done?" "It's all over." Zhou Xun's expression showed no joy or anger, but rather indifference. Perhaps he had a premonition, or he had already gotten used to it. Xu Kun raised his teacup and said, "Then let's toast to singles first?" “It’s about respecting freedom.” Zhou Xun also raised his teacup and clinked it with his. After finishing his tea, he picked up a piece of lamb bone and sucked out the bone marrow oil with a straw. Then, he chewed the meat and said, "Speaking of Yang Mi, I can take her to talk to Director Li. After all, she has been the top actress at Rong Xinda for several years, so I still have some face." "Great!" Yang Mi was overjoyed and subconsciously wanted to shake Zhou Xun's hand, but when she saw her greasy plastic gloves, she stopped and said gratefully, "Sister Zhou, thank you so much." "Easy to say."
Zhou Xun waved the bone in his hand and said, "After all, we are from the same sect. If you come to me for help, of course I will take care of you. Besides, ..." Then, she turned to Xu Kun and said, "Director Xu, when you cast for Painted Skin, you must not be partial. You must treat all actors in Huayi equally." "Painted Skin?" Xu Kun wondered, "Isn't that a project that Shanghai Film Group and Hong Kong Island are preparing? What does it have to do with Huayi?" "Of course it matters. I heard from Mr. Wang a few days ago that Huayi is going to do its best to nominate a female lead or second female lead to join the group." Haha~ As expected, among these famous actresses, few of them are easy to deal with. No wonder she agreed so readily just now, it turned out that she was worried that she would affect the promotion this time. "You can rest assured." Xu Kun shrugged and said, "I am only focusing on my own movie now. I am not interested in other things. However, whether you can win in the end is not something I can control." "Of course." Zhou Xun looks very confident, and she does have the confidence. In the current Huayi, she is definitely the one with the most advantages in terms of status in the film industry. After he finished chewing the bone in his hand, Zhou Xun said, "Similarly, I can't guarantee that I can convince Director Li, so you'd better be prepared." "Prepare for both situations? Sister Zhou, you mean..." Yang Mi clenched her fists nervously. Zhou Xun took out another big bone from the casserole: "It's too soft..." "Then we have to resort to hard tactics." Xu Kun took a sip of tea, suppressed the spicy and salty taste in his mouth, and said, "It just so happens that the promotion of "So Young" will start soon. If the negotiations fall through by then, you can tell the media all about how you gave up your favorite second female role in the movie and were coaxed into playing Qingwen and You Sanjie. This way, you can also add fuel to Lao Liu's movie." "This……" Yang Mi had also thought about having a complete falling out with Rong Xinda. But when it really came to this, she still hesitated. After all, her contract with Rong Xinda still had more than three years left. If they completely broke off relations, it would mean that she would most likely be put on ice for three years. This is definitely an unbearable burden for an ambitious actress. At this moment, she suddenly felt that being a clown was not that difficult to accept - at worst she could just learn from Liu Yifei and go to school less often in the future. Seeing that Yang Mi was reluctant to speak, Xu Kun could not help but secretly shook his head. Yang Mi's recent behavior was a bit like "forgetting righteousness for small gains and cherishing one's life when faced with big events". Yang Mi caught sight of Xu Kun's actions out of the corner of her eye. She panicked at first, but then she gritted her teeth and scooped up a bone directly from the pot with her bare hands. While biting the tendons on the top of the lower body fiercely, he said with all his strength: "Stab them if you want, who's afraid of who! At worst, I can sue them in court and say that I was young and underage and was deceived by Rong Xinda!" She was actually still a little unsure in her heart, but she was even more afraid that if she backed down, Brother Kun would be unhappy, so she gritted her teeth and pretended to be fierce. “You have to have this kind of momentum!” Zhou Xun praised loudly: "If we women want to make a name for ourselves in this circle, we must have the spirit of risking our lives. If we don't have the determination to burn our boats, others will only think that we are easy to bully!" …………
At the same time, Hengdian Film and Television City. Liu Shishi, who had just changed out of her costume, stood on the sidelines and watched Zhao Liying posing in front of the camera. She was completely different from before, and she felt hesitant and nervous, but also a little admiring. If it were her, she would never do such a thing. Not to mention that it has to be used not just once, but repeatedly... "Ka~ Good, very good!" Hearing the executive director shout "OK", Liu Shishi finally came to her senses and hurried over to help Zhao Liying take off her costume. "Oh, I'm so suffocated, so suffocated!" Zhao Liying untied her belt and went into the changing tent. It was a scorching hot July, and she played a character who was weak and afraid of cold. Her costumes were thicker than those of other characters, and her body was already soaked with sweat. After taking off her costume, Zhao Liying, who was only wearing underwear, gulped down half a bottle of mineral water before complaining, "The director only thought about my facial expressions and movements. Why didn't he think about the fact that after being possessed by the cat demon, I should not be so afraid of the cold?" "Liying." At this time, Liu Shishi asked quietly: "Why are you working so hard? Do you want to win an award in the future?" "Just me? And I won an award?" Zhao Liying laughed a few times as if she had heard a joke. Seeing that Liu Shishi didn't seem to be joking, she said seriously, "I didn't think too much about it. Anyway, I just don't want to be returned again." "return the goods?" "Ah." Zhao Liying grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat off her body, saying, "Didn't I tell you that I was going to be a flight attendant? I did well in the initial test. My mother was so happy at the time that she wanted the whole world to know about it. But in the end, I was rejected..." At this point, Zhao Liying was silent for a moment, and then she said firmly: "It's enough to have this experience once. I would rather die outside than have it happen again!" After saying that, she felt a little embarrassed, so she asked Liu Shishi: "Shishi, what about you?" "I?" Liu Shishi was stunned by the question. She didn't know what she wanted to pursue as an actress. Become famous? Win awards? Make money? She naturally wanted all these, but they didn't seem that important. (End of this chapter)
