Jinjiang Literature City: Your subscription ratio is insufficient. This is an anti-theft stamp. Wait or purchase. As you can see in the previous article, Chi Ying shook her head, "I'm fine."
Chi's mother exposed her prevarication and said bluntly, "Your brother said someone bullied you."
"But he rescued her in time." Chi Ying avoided the important and took the easy, with a forced smile.
"Be careful when you go out from now on. Don't drink. If you have anything to do, call home." Chi's mother sighed and told her, "Go and stay with Chengcheng. He misses you very much."
Chi Ying nodded, and Chi's mother went to the next room holding the pillow.
In this world, she has many family members who care about her, which makes her heart soft but extremely strong.
Chi Ying sent a text message to Song Qingfeng and Yue Zhuo that they were home safely, then took a bath, put on a short-sleeved nightgown, and lay down next to Chi Cheng.
The little guy was nestled in the quilt, and even his breath smelled like milk.
He seemed to feel his mother's presence. He turned over lazily in his sleep, and put his short legs unceremoniously around Chi Ying's waist.
His head was also stuffed into her arms, and his thin hair was filled with the fragrance of children's shampoo.
His eyelashes were very long and trembling, casting faint shadows under the dim night light.
Chi Ying looked at his sleeping face and felt guilty and sad.
She didn't even have time to talk to him today.
Chi Ying still remembers the first day of kindergarten when she was a child. A lot of things happened in the school.
All the children burst into tears, but she resisted the soreness in her eyes and did not cry because her grandma told her to be strong.
When school was over, she immediately flew into her grandma's arms, begging for praise and rewards.
So that day, she had her first KFC meal in her life. Since it was the beginning of school season, a small toy was given as a gift.
Chi Ying understood the child's uncontrollable desire for expression when he was separated from his relatives for the first time.
But she prolonged this tormenting longing even longer, and her heart almost ached.
But there is no other way. Acting is the only thing she is good at, and it is also the only possible career that can cope with her heavy debts.
When she becomes truly powerful, the little guy will understand her.
At the dinner party that had a near miss just now, she had already received several audition opportunities for female supporting roles, and one director was even willing to let her try out as the second female lead.
He is a very good director and this is also a very good opportunity.
But Chi Ying knew that he was a contracted director of Oushi Media and she would not go.
In today's entertainment industry, Ou Shi and Huan Yu hold up half of the sky.
Not only did she avoid Lu Jingyan, but she also angered Cheng Huan. She didn't even know if Cheng Huan would block her out of anger.
And Chi Yu, after hearing those conversations, he would definitely object.
Of course, in this land of fame and fortune, there has never been a shortage of entertainment companies.
Take it one step at a time, and it will be a new day when you wake up tomorrow morning.
Chi Ying comforted herself that good-looking people would never have bad luck.
She gently placed a loving kiss on Chi Cheng's cheek. The little guy let out a cry and wrapped his soft little arms around her body.
Ever since the group of burly men picked Chi Ying away, Yue Zhuo couldn't help but speculate about Miss Chi's background.
Could it be that Ms. Chi is leaning against the clock tycoon Mr. Chi
Although the watch shop is far away from their family business, Yue Zhuo often pays attention to the news and has never heard that the Chi family has a daughter.
But in fact, the salary of a bodyguard is not particularly high. It is no different from the ordinary industry. You don't have to have a fortune to afford one.
Thinking of the phone call that Miss Chi had with a man not long ago, Yue Zhuo thought that maybe her boyfriend hired her.
"Ah" Yue Zhuo scratched his hair in confusion and forced himself to stop his wild imagination.
In short, Miss Chi asked him not to tell anyone about the bodyguard, so he just did it.
Maybe in the future, she can agree to play the female lead in her own work or something.
Thinking this way, Yue Zhuo posted a message on WeChat Moments:
"Master Song's stunning senior sister~~ I won't tell you my senior sister's WeChat ID."
Attached is a photo of him and Chi Ying.
The girl in the photo kept a distance from him and smiled reservedly.
She didn't look distant, because she made a friendly scissor hand gesture, unexpectedly showing a bit of innocence and cuteness.
Knowing such a beauty with ever-changing temperament, Yue Zhuo certainly wanted to show off.
The drunken Song Qingfeng was the first to reply with a laugh in his circle of friends, and ten minutes later, he replied with contempt.
Yue Zhuo watched with satisfaction as the number of likes and comments increased, and his vanity seemed to be greatly satisfied.
He became a little carried away, and with a rush of thought, he poked into Lu Jingyan's dialog box.
The WeChat name is still the three characters "Lu Jingyan".
Although he and Lu Jingyan have been friends for many years, and can even be ranked at the top of Lu Jingyan's friend list, Yue Zhuo still doesn't dare to disturb him when nothing happens.
Why is Lu Jingyan such a busy man
Also from the rich generation, Yue Zhuo doesn't want to be the heir to the family business. He just wants to have fun in time and enjoy life.
For example, at this moment, Yue Zhuo really wanted to know what happened in the bathroom at the venue, and why Lu Jingyan gave Miss Chi his business card, and why the business card was ruthlessly discarded.
He hesitated in the message box for a while, thinking about how to word it so as not to be scolded by the cold-faced CEO.
After thinking about it, the words "Lu Jingyan" suddenly became "Inputting"
Yue Zhuo was shocked.
After a moment, the phone vibrated: "Send me Chi Ying's WeChat ID."
At two or three in the morning, when Chi Ying woke up from her dream, the housekeeper knocked on the door. There was uncontrollable joy in his weathered voice, "Miss, Master Chi is back."
Chi Ying woke up immediately, grabbed a pair of slippers, and hurried downstairs.
After they returned home, Chi's mother came to her villa alone.
Neither her father nor Chi Yu had time to meet her because of their busy careers.
Even if they didn't say it, Chi Ying could realize the seriousness of the matter.
Not only did Chi have problems in foreign markets, but there were also bound to be cracks in its domestic foundation.
Chi Yu took an overnight flight back from City F. The circles under his eyes were dark and blue, and he looked extremely haggard.
Even though he was very tired, he did not hide his handsome features.
Because she was running so fast, Chi Ying breathed a little quickly and panted slightly. "Brother" she was wearing a short-sleeved nightdress, which just covered the redness and swelling on her shoulders.
"How come you ran out and haven't slept yet?" Chi Yu said angrily.
The housekeeper who woke Chi Ying was hanging his head next to him, with a look of shame on his face.
It was rare for Master Chi to return home, so his first reaction was to inform the lady.
Chi Yu asked her sternly: "That man tonight is Cheng Huan, isn't he?"
Chi Ying tightened her clothes nervously, "Brother, what did you hear?"
"I heard Cheng Huan threatening you, but the call was cut off soon."
"Why do you want to put call on hold?"
Chi Ying thought about it. In that case, Chi Yu must have gone crazy.
But she really didn't touch it intentionally. Maybe Cheng Huan accidentally pressed it when he cut the waist with one hand.
Chi Yu continued to criticize: "You didn't tell me where you were when I asked you. Who gave you the courage to go out alone?"
"Brother" Chi Ying lowered her head in guilt.
"Why do you suddenly want to debut?" Chi Yu asked.
Chi Ying's face darkened, "Chi Cheng has gone to kindergarten and is bored at home."
"You can do whatever you like, embroidery, gardening, baking." Chi Yu stared at her with clear black and white eyes, "The water in the entertainment industry is too deep, I don't want you to drown, not to mention, you still have It’s Chi Cheng.”
When it comes to Chi Cheng, Chi Yu's emotions are inevitably mixed.
In Chi Ying's senior year, he just accidentally ignored her and Chi Cheng showed up, but the man who caused the trouble was nowhere to be found.
This is the sister he has loved since childhood, and his feelings of regret, self-blame and anger are self-evident.
But Chi Ying is his sister after all, and Chi Yu will not blame her for anything. He asked: "After tonight, do you still want to enter the entertainment industry?"
Chi Ying bit her lip and said, "I think so."
Chi Yu was her relative, so she thought it was necessary for her to drop the politeness and tell him the worries she was aware of.
"Brother, if one day, I say, our family's business goes bankrupt or even goes into debt, what will you do?"
Chi Yu's eyes darkened and he said in a deep voice, "As long as I am here, this day will never come."
"But you said before that there was no problem at all. Suddenly, the Chi family all retreated to the country. You and your father have been busy for so long and didn't even have time to get together with me. Although you refused to tell me, I I know that the reality may be even worse than I imagined. I was born in an art exam and know nothing but acting. Even if something happens one day, I can still support you."
The book only uses a few strokes to mention the fact that the Chi family went bankrupt and was heavily in debt over the past few years, but completely ignores the reasons.
This made her panic.
Faced with the pull of fate, she had no choice but to do anything.
Chi Yu obviously did not expect Chi Ying to suddenly say such words, because with the maintenance and cover-up of him and his father, from the outside world, there was almost no abnormality in the operating status of Chi's family business.
He really didn't believe that his sister would have such a keen insight.
Chi Yu couldn't let her think too much.
"I will never be unable to support you, and I will always provide you with the most favorable material conditions. These are not things you have to worry about."
Chi Ying lowered her eyelashes in disappointment.
Chi Yu suddenly felt soft-hearted.
"If you really want to go," he said, "I'll pave the way for you."
The moment she heard this, Chi Ying's heartache overshadowed her joy.
She pushed Chi Yu's arm and said, "Stop worrying about me. You are already very tired. You don't know how far apart our family's industry is from the entertainment industry."
Chi Yu fell into silence. Although he didn't want to admit his incompetence, what Chi Ying said was the truth.
Except when he comes into contact with celebrities when doing brand endorsements, he is usually too far away from the circle.
Chi Yu paused and said, "But one thing, you must remember that when in danger, call Master Ji first."
The head of last night's bodyguards.
He is not a god with great powers, but he is still capable and necessary to protect Chi Ying's basic personal safety.
Chi Ying nodded.
"Which directors have contacted you so far?"
Chi Ying took out all the business cards from her bag and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I don't want to do anything. I'll help you screen them. You go back to sleep."
Chi Ying woke up at seven o'clock in the morning, and Chi Yu was no longer in the villa.
There is a full page of manuscript paper left on the table in the living room, which clearly introduces each director's works and style. Everything Chi Yu thought was inappropriate, he drew an "x" next to it and noted the detailed reasons.
As for signing the contract, Chi Yu asked her to wait and see.
Since you already have an audition opportunity, why not give it a try first? You will naturally have better opportunities when you become famous in the future, and it is not too late to consider it again.
Chi Ying was moved.
Now it seems that most of the directors of Oushi Media are relatively reliable in the industry.
Chi Yu didn't draw the "x", she drew it herself.
Chi Ying found that she still had some choices, and soon she settled on her first target.
Gu Yuanchen is a rookie director with a mysterious background. He has established his own independent studio and has only made two films, but they have been well received on Douban.
She decided to try.
Chi Ying turned on her phone, and a WeChat message suddenly popped up.
Lu Jingyan, the other party asked to add you as a friend.
Because it is an IP adaptation of a popular novel, the audition was held in advance
The actors were given background and information about their characters.
Chi Ying's facial features are bright and stunning, which does not match the image of the second female lead who has low self-esteem and is fragile.
So on the day of the audition, she put a lot of thought into her makeup.
The highlights are just right, making the facial features look slimmer and three-dimensional.
The eye makeup is waterproof and smudge-proof, and the ends of my eyes are droopier than usual.
His face was paler than before, and his lips were duller.
She looked in the mirror with a different temperament.
Lost in thought, as fragile as glass.
When he smiled, his eyes were like water, soft and quiet.
Chi Ying's makeup was so realistic that even Chi Cheng frowned and pulled her clothes, "Mom, Mom, are you sick?"
He spoke urgently and worriedly, sounding like he was about to cry.
This actually made Chi Ying feel heartbroken. She held the little guy's face and told him seriously, "No, mom is just wearing makeup."
Chi Cheng looked unconvinced.
Chi Ying realized that her expression was too serious, and turned to smile brightly, with bright eyes that seemed to be shining like stars.
Chi Cheng said "Ah" with a childlike and pure voice. He opened his eyes wide and asked curiously, "What is makeup? Is it something mom does after brushing her teeth every day?"
Chi Ying did not deny it. Chi Cheng was still young and she didn't explain to him the difference between skin care and makeup.
Chi Cheng still seemed worried. When Chi Ying was packing her things, he ran to her side again, raised his little face and said, "But Mom, you look so sad."
Chi Ying stopped what she was doing and looked at him tenderly, "Mom is not really sad. Mom is an actress. She is just pretending to be sad."
Chi Cheng shook his head, expressing disbelief. His big, dark eyes were filled with worry.
Chi Ying told him repeatedly, "What you saw today is all fake." Chi Cheng nodded doubtfully.
After Chi Ying sent the little guy to kindergarten, she rushed to the audition location.
Qi Hongcheng was waiting for her at the stairs.
Chi Ying is calm and calm, and her steps are elegant. She is like a gentle wind that heals people, but makes Qi Hongcheng suffer the most.
Although she was still young, her aura was not inferior to that of a popular star, which he never expected.
After a few words of greeting, Qi Hongcheng took Chi Ying to the audition room, where there were many judges and teachers.
Chi Ying bowed and handed them her resume.
The person in the photo is so beautiful that she is flamboyant and bone-crushing, which is completely inappropriate for a female lead.
But when Qi Hongcheng raised his head and looked at her in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
For Chi Ying with beautiful facial features, exquisite makeup can change her temperament.
Chi Ying quickly entered the state.
If Qi Hongcheng had any luck before this, all of them disappeared at this moment.
The woman was pale and thin, her lowered eyes were as full as water, and she seemed to be shedding tears.
Her eyes were light red, and she was about to cry, and her emotions were moving.
She lost the calmness and elegance she had shown when introducing herself a moment ago. As a character, she looked cowardly and helpless in every move she made.
The script progressed, and the tears in my eyes burst out of my eyes almost instantly and rolled down.
Thrilling.
There were exclamations from all four seats.
Qi Hongcheng had mixed feelings.
Staring at the pale and haggard Chi Ying in the audition room, Lu Jingyan's heart ached as if hit by a boulder.
His lips lost blood in an instant, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It was exactly the same as his nightmare last night.
Lu Jingyan has always been in good health and never neglects his fitness career no matter how busy he is at work. His face turned dark blue for a moment, and his thin lips were pursed tightly. Jiang Chong was at a loss for a moment, and it took him a while to stammer out: "Mr. Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Jingyan's voice was hoarse, "It's okay."
After sending Chi Ying away, Qi Hongcheng sat slumped in the office.
With his mind free, Lu Jingyan's call came.
"President Lu" Qi Hongcheng broke into cold sweat, "The audition is over and we are making the final evaluation."
He was indeed still hesitating.
But the leverage in his heart was already tilted towards Chi Ying.
Lu Jingyan's voice was very low: "You are hesitating"
Qi Hongcheng was silent and did not dare to speak out.
"You don't have to worry about my face." Lu Jingyan's tone was cold and distant, "As a director, you should know better than me. You need to choose the most suitable actor."
Qi Hongcheng had a lot of thoughts.
Lu Jingyan is a capitalist.
Rarely will he act emotionally, and he will be reluctant to give up.
From the beginning to the end, it was impossible to tell from Lu Jingyan's tone that he and Chi Ying were familiar with each other.
Qi Hongcheng thought of the phone call a few days ago. Lu Jingyan's voice was extremely cold. Firstly, he didn't need a heroine, and secondly, he didn't need special care. He didn't show the slightest hope that Chi Ying would star.
Maybe Chi Ying had an inseparable relationship with him that made him unable to refuse.
Just like him and Shu Bai
Qi Hongcheng was startled by his own thoughts.
Qi Hongcheng is not a decisive person.
The lever was tilted again.
"Mr. Lu means that if there is a more suitable candidate than Chi Ying"
Lu Jingyan said solemnly: "Investment is for profit, and the success of casting is a necessary condition for profit."
"On the other hand, do you think it is a benefit or disadvantage to encourage artists?"
A character that attracts too much attention, if the strength and position do not match, will it be achieved or destroyed
After careful consideration, Qi Hongcheng decided to give the second female lead to Chi Ying.
Her acting skills are indeed more amazing than Shu Bai's.
He will find a way to make up for Shu Bai.
Funding is also available.
Qi Hongcheng was editing the audition results email, and Liu Pei asked him to meet.
His blood immediately surged, and she still had the nerve to see him
But Qi Hongcheng was so eaten up by Liu Pei that he walked uncontrollably towards the agreed place like a puppet on strings.
He comforted himself that he could take this opportunity to ask her.
Liu Pei was dressed in cool and revealing clothes and wore strong lipstick.
Although coquettish, she is beautiful.
"You" Qi Hongcheng's chest felt tight and swollen.
Liu Pei made it up indifferently, "Shu Bai's parents passed away just yesterday."
Immediately afterwards, she sent him a photo on her phone of Shu Bai with eyes swollen from crying.
Shu Bai huddled in the corner, his eyes dull.
"Don't be sorry for her. Shu Bai has been a jade for so many years before she handed it over to you." Liu Pei said casually, "Her parents still have debts that she needs to repay. Shu Bai really has no other support. She has You don’t know how much we need this position. You haven’t given her a definite answer after so many days. You don’t want to see the scandal of an eighteenth-tier artist falling from a building, right?”
"She is also sorry for you." Qi Hongcheng's heart suddenly hurt and his fingertips trembled, "You let me down so much."
"It's because you are distracted." Liu Pei stirred the teaspoon calmly, "Hongcheng, don't let me down."
Qi Hongcheng drank a lot more wine.
He didn't break the fragment, he just wanted to numb himself with alcohol.
But it was no use, his heart ached when he thought of Shu Bai crying.
Qi Hongcheng answered Lu Jingyan's call in a daze.
Lu Jingyan's voice was hoarse, "I've chosen."
Qi Hongcheng stabilized his voice and said, "I've chosen."
"I think Shu Bai is more suitable. Chi Ying's facial features are too stunning and inconsistent with the character of the second female lead. I will send you their resumes later."
If you hadn't seen Chi Ying's makeup that day, the credibility of Qi Hongcheng's words would be very high.
Chi Ying's beauty is too flamboyant, and some qualified directors will not consider her as a candidate for the second female lead.
But that day, she looked haggard and pale, which made Lu Jingyan's heart sting.
His eyes grew colder.
Chi Ying soon received another call informing her of the re-examination.
But this time it was not Qi Hongcheng who informed her, but Pei Yu's leader.
"The questions are the same as last time, just play normally."
Chi Ying came to Pei Yu's conference room. Senior executives, all in suits and leather shoes, sat down solemnly, and the air was a bit stagnant.
A re-examination for the second female lead alarmed so many senior executives, which really frightened her.
She looked from a distance and saw Qi Hongcheng sitting in the corner with an expressionless face.
Also present was Shu Bai, who was standing not far from her, with her fists clenched and her cheeks as pale as hers.
Shu Bai didn't know that Chi Ying had successfully passed Gu Yuanchen's audition, nor did he know about the deal between Lu Jingyan and Qi Hongcheng.
But the more Chi Ying is confident and calm, the more frightened and fearful she becomes.
On the day of the audition, she didn't see senior Chi Ying.
Could it be that she also
Shu Bai looked in Qi Hongcheng's direction in horror.
Fortunately, this time, although Qi Hongcheng was in a bad mood, his eyes kept falling on her.
His eyes hinted to her not to be nervous.
After the casting began, dozens of stern looks were cast at them in the conference room at the same time.
Shu Bai's mind went blank and his teeth chattered with nervousness, but it unexpectedly fit the character's personality.
Chi Ying was much calmer.
She doesn't feel nervous because she easily enters the character's world.
This may be her inherent advantage.
Someone quickly pointed out: "Shu Bai is not in the right mood and is too panicked."
"She just didn't perform well today." A mentor in Qi Hongcheng's team defended, "It's natural for people to be nervous when auditioning in front of so many leaders. On Saturday, her acting skills were more than a hundred times better than today."
Someone here sneered, psychological quality is a necessary condition for an artist. It would be ridiculous to ignore it.
Qi Hongcheng let out a long sigh. The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more. He took the initiative to take responsibility early and said, "Sorry, our judgment was wrong."
"Oh, really?" the chairman of Peiyu's board of directors scolded coldly, "Qi Hongcheng, you really disappoint me."
He has always turned a blind eye to the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, but this is the most important work in Pei Yu's history, and it involves the life and death of Lu Jingyan's investment of hundreds of millions.
However, Qi Hongcheng remains willful. For his own selfish purposes, he takes advantage of the director's power to enjoy and indulge in sexual pleasures. This is very unforgivable.
Several photos of him and Shu Bai entering and leaving the hotel were shown in front of him. Qi Hongcheng was shocked, "It's not what you imagined."
It's a pity that I can't argue with you.
But Qi Hongcheng thought that since Shu Bai's acting skills still need to be polished, then her tears that day were real.
After reading this, he felt that his desperate sacrifice was not worth it.
Everyone present began to treat Chi Ying with respect.
Chi Ying became wary.
Finally, a contract was pushed in front of her.
Chi Ying read line by line, her eyes widened in shock, "So much liquidated damages."
"Yes, the cast will be exposed in advance this time. If the artist leaves, it will greatly affect the reputation." An executive of Peiyu Media said, "Don't worry, Ms. Chi, no one in the crew will make things difficult for you."
At this moment, Lu Jingyan, with the permission of President Pei Yu, had replaced all his production staff.
The director was replaced by Ou Shi's director, and the production was replaced by Ou Shi's production.
Pei Yukong has his own expression.
Jiang Chong knew that Mr. Lu blamed himself and regretted for many days when Ou Shi failed to take out the assassin, but he never gave up coveting this delicious food.
Peiyu blindly acquired the film and television rights of Qianji without considering its own financial strength and production strength. This was originally a mediocre and wrong decision by the leadership.
Not only is it not enough to become famous, but it may cause you to fall into trouble and become ill.
When Peiyu realized this problem, he was already riding a tiger.
