"Is that you?" A cigarette slowly exhaled from the red lips. A woman in a cheongsam held a bong in her right hand, like a lady walking down from an old photo of the Republic of China. She walked slowly to Ning Ning and held up her hand. Her chin, scrutinized for a moment, "doesn't look as beautiful as it does on TV."
"It means that she is photographed." Li Boyue replied for her, "Her looks are suitable for appearing on the big screen."
The other party snorted lightly from his nose, not knowing whether to laugh or accept this explanation.
"Sit down." The cheongsam woman turned around and walked to the sofa, sat down and said, "You should know me, right?"
"Know." Ning Ning looked at each other.
Just like Yan Qing, the other party is a famous woman.
Unlike Yan Qing, Yan Qing's reputation is positive, while her reputation is mostly negative...
"Tell me about it." The cheongsam woman raised her chin slightly and looked at Ning Ning slightly arrogantly, "In your eyes, what kind of person am I?"
Of course Ning Ning can say something nice to please her, but does the famous woman in front of her need her to please her? I am afraid that in her life, the most lacking thing is the face-to-face flattery of others and the insults behind their backs.
"There are two kinds of women in this world, those who rely on their talents and those who rely on their faces." So Ningning said frankly, "You are the latter."
Li Boyue hurriedly gave Ning Ning a wink, but when the other party heard this, he burst out laughing.
"You're right." She stroked her cheek lightly and sighed, "Most people don't see it clearly, they call me a scheming bitch, but I have this face, do I still need scheming?"
After speaking, she smiled at Ningning.
Even if Ning Ning was a woman, seeing her smile, she couldn't help but be moved.
There is a kind of beauty that can make people ignore age, gender, and character, and it must be the woman in front of her.
Lianlian.
The granddaughter of the founder of Lien's Company.
Throughout her life, she didn't show a strong hand, or extraordinary intelligence. Compared with her older brothers and sisters who graduated from prestigious schools, this woman who dropped out of high school often behaved very stupidly, but even so , she is still the most beloved granddaughter of the old master Lian, and holds the most shares of Lian's company.
Because she smiles like an angel, innocent and cute.
So not only the old man likes her, but also many people like her. These people are old and young. Most of them are men. Bewitched by her smile, she helped her do many things, achieved her status today, and achieved her debauchery reputation.
"As for me, at first I wanted to invite Mei Xin to be the heroine." Lian Lian said, "Because in the entire entertainment industry, she is the best looking."
"Why didn't you choose her?" Ningning asked.
"Because I found that she is a qualified star, but not a qualified actor." Lian Lian sighed, "One person and two roles, she can't act."
I don't know since when, stars and actors have gradually become two occupations. The former depends on popularity, and the latter depends on acting skills. Most of the time, you can't have both. Occasionally, it must be a national superstar. .
"In your words, your acting skills barely pass the test." Lian Lian raised her eyes and looked at Ning Ning, "But it's not beautiful enough."
Before Ning Ning could speak, Li Boyue spoke one step ahead of her.
"We Ningning, it's really not amazing enough in life, or it's not as amazing as she is on screen." Li Boyue said with a smile, "Anyway, this movie is not in a hurry to shoot now, why not? Let's talk about it after the release of Empire?"
Lian Lian tilted her head and looked at him for a moment, then nodded: "That's it."
He turned his head and smiled at Ning Ning again: "Let me wait and see what you look like on the screen."
While waiting, the calendar flipped quickly.
"The Great Empire" has been successfully completed. As one of the main actors, Ning Ning naturally has to do a series of publicity along with it, and is very busy. During the period, Li Boyue told her that he received a call from Yan Qingfang and asked whether Ning would rather play the role of Yunlin, the second female lead.
"How do you answer?" Ning Ning asked.
"Needless to say." Li Boyue waved his hand casually, "I let them take the dog."
"...You really said that?" Ning Ning was shocked.
"You're stupid? Of course you said that in your heart." Li Boyue gave her a look of contempt, "I didn't refuse or agree, ummm, it's over, when you take down the role of Lian Lian, I'll let them go. Dog belt, if you don't take it off, it's not bad to go back and play Yunlin."
"… wow, so treacherous."
"Who am I all for!!"
After that, "The Great Empire" started broadcasting.
First, the backstage of the Internet. On the day of the broadcast, Ning Ning also turned on the computer at home to watch it - mainly to see the audience's comments.
As a vase actress in the eyes of the public, she has fans... Most of them are black fans. This group of black fans has their own justice. As long as she sees her name in the cast list, it will automatically judge the film as a bad film. If her role is the main character of one female and two female, it is a big bad movie.
So before the broadcast, there were already many voices wailing, "My heart hurts my actor Chen", "My heart hurts my Xiao Zhu", "My heart hurts my Rou Mei", all the main characters in the film gave them heartache again, as if they were the same as Ning Ning Performing on stage will permanently lower their IQ just like their acting skills.
However, all this hustle and bustle stopped abruptly when the first episode started.
"Princess Qingluan is here!"
Accompanied by the eunuch's sharp cry, a graceful Ning Ning appeared on the screen.
She came from outside the door, and along the way, civil servants, military generals, eunuchs, and palace maids all bowed their heads.
Then, she stopped in front of Chen Shuanghe with a light voice: "Raise your head."
In the camera, Chen Shuanghe pursed his lips and lowered his eyebrows, as if resisting something, but he slowly raised his head irresistibly, tried his best to hide the ambition in his eyes, and looked at her carefully.
And she looked at him blankly for a moment, then slowly smiled at him.
There is a kind of smile that can make people ignore age, gender, and personality. It must be the smile in front of me.
When this smile appeared in the camera, countless people made countless reactions.
After being stunned for a while, a black fan quickly pulled to the end of the film and glanced at the cast list, afraid of dazzling his eyes, so he dropped eye drops three times, and finally posted a barrage: "I may have watched a fake Ningning before, but now this is the only one. It's the real thing."
A well-known film critic on Weibo was stunned for a moment, then deleted the thousand-word negative review he had already written, and then reopened a page and began to write: "Looking through the smiles of those amazing shots in film history. , 1st... 2nd... 3rd... 10th, Ning Ning, her smile when she appeared in "The Great Empire" is reminiscent of the famous painting "Mona Lisa", the same mysterious and unpredictable, making people guess It doesn't matter whether she is happy, disgusted, fearful, or angry... At this time, I think I need to borrow a sentiment analysis software from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands to analyze the content ratio of her smile."
While looking at the computer, Li Boyue made a phone call: "What's the ratings now? Oh... Hahahahaha!"
"Dad..." In the home theater of the villa, Chen Shuanghe was lying on a sofa chair, his endurance finally reached the limit, and he turned his head through gnashing teeth, "You have already rewinded thirty-two times, can we stop for a while, let's put this Finished the episode?"
Chen Guanchao didn't seem to hear him. He smiled and rewinded the camera back to Ning Ning's appearance. Seeing this scene, Chen Shuanghe let out a wailing from his throat and raised his hand to cover his eyes.
"Meow." An orange fat cat jumped onto the desk, the meat ball stepped on the computer keyboard, and one hand took it off the keyboard and gently stroked it in his arms.
Looking up along the white-gloved hand, it was Wen Yu's face.
He stared at the computer screen without a glance, looking at Ning Ning in the screen, her face reflected in his eyes, but it showed the appearance of another person.
"... Youling?" he muttered in a low voice.
When he pronounced the name, he stroking the cat became heavier unconsciously, the orange cat meowed and jumped out of his arms, his tail swept the mobile phone on the table to the ground.
Wen Yu bent down and picked up the phone, then quietly looked at the phone, looking at the phone number of Ning Ning lying quietly inside.
A few minutes later, Ning Ning's phone rang.
Ning Ning pressed the pause button, then picked up the phone and saw an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?" She answered the phone.
"It's me." Lian Lian's voice came from the opposite side, with a hint of arrogance, "I'm watching your performance of The Great Empire."
"How do you feel?" Ning Ning asked.
"It's better than your life." Lian Lian said.
"Then..." Ning Ning's mouth slowly burst into a smile, no matter how many times, she will be full of expectations when she gets a new role.
"The heroine is yours." Lian Lian said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Ning Ning asked.
"I heard that you auditioned for Yan Qing's film before?" Lian Lian asked.
Ning Ning's heart moved, and she didn't know what special meaning she had when she mentioned this matter now.
"I'm different from her, I don't like to tell people big truths and make chicken soup." Lian Lian smiled, "To tell you the truth, I invested in this film, one for the name and the other for profit, and I put it on the outside based on real events. The adapted skin is actually a commercial film, and I want more audiences, more box office, and better word of mouth."
Great appetite.
"So I found the best screenwriter, the best director, and you." Lian Lian said to Ning Ning, "Don't let me down, you have to play me well... and also play the fungus well. "
The script was quickly sent to Ning Ning.
The title is "The Witch's Trial".
Heroine: Lian Lian.
Supporting Actress: Fungus.
Ning Ning opened it to see, this is really a very old-fashioned story.
Lian Lian and Fungus are a pair of little sisters. They were born in the same poor family. They dropped out of school at the same age. They both have an annoying younger brother, and they both dream of becoming big stars on TV one day. I thought that the two would be so similar forever, but in the winter of 1997, a man found Lian Lian.
He said to her, "Hello, Miss."
Lian Lian: "Miss? Did you recognize the wrong person?"
"I didn't recognize the wrong person." The other party took off his hat and smiled politely at her, "You are the stray granddaughter of the founder of Lian's Company, a real eldest lady."
So the lives of the two girls diverged here.
And the name of the man who changed Lian Lian's fate is...
Ning Ning's fingers holding the script were slightly pale and trembling slightly.
She looked at the name and said softly, "Pei Xuan..."
