Hua Zhao originally wanted to give Cheng Xingfei a gift, but instead of sending it to Cheng Xingfei, he took a set of sky-high priced jewelry from Cheng Xingfei.
Why don't you just give her 5.8 million in cash
Hua Zhao hugged the ugly set of jewelry and wanted to cry.
The tens of thousands of dollars in her pocket have not been moved. She went to the shopping mall to pick out gifts for Cheng Xingfei, but no matter what she buys now, it is impossible to be more expensive than this set of jewelry.
She was so worried that her hair was going bald.
She still needs to think about the gift for Cheng Xingfei, but she can send out the gift for Sister P and Zhuo Yi first.
Ms. P's gifts are very picky. She likes to buy bags, such as crocodile skin, ostrich skin, lychee skin, in short, she likes whatever is expensive. Hua Zhao bought a brand-name handbag for Miss P, and spent one-third of the budget in one go. After receiving the bag, Miss P was surprised and delighted. She never expected that Her Royal Highness would prepare a thank you gift for her.
Then, Hua Zhao went to the supermarket and bought a shopping card to give to Zhuo Yi——the original budget was 500, but she thought about it, Zhuo Yi was loyal to protect the Lord, and when the kidnapping happened, he took the initiative to stand up to protect her. Does loyalty only mean five hundred dollars
So she gritted her teeth and bought a shopping card worth 600 yuan.
Zhuo Yi's face turned dark after receiving the 600 yuan stored-value card: ""
He was angry and funny at the same time, he used to think that he was the most stingy person in the world, but now he found that it was Hua Zhao.
Zhuo Yi bent his fingers, and flicked the supermarket prepaid card critically: "Your Highness, anyway, when you wanted to be a hostage, I stood up to protect you, so you just gave me a shopping card worth 600 yuan." "
Hua Zhao: "Then according to what you said, Shen Yuxiu also protected me."
"Okay," Zhuo Yi sneered, and handed the card back directly, "Then you can give him this shopping card."
Hua Zhao waved his hand, not paying attention: "You can take the things that I reward you with peace of mind. —— Don't worry, I will entrust Xingfei to hand over the shopping card of Shen Yuxiu to him."
Zhuo Yi: ""
——Hua Zhao hates the favors owed to others the most. If you have a grudge, you must repay it, and if you have a favor, you must repay it. Although it is true that she hates Shen Yuxiu, it is also true that Shen Yuxiu used her body to block bombs for her. One thing is another thing. She must repay this kindness, so she directly bought double copies of her shopping card, Zhuo Yi and Shen Yu Take a table for each person, and make sure that the bowl of water is level.
Zhuo Yi was about to applaud her.
He really wanted to know what kind of expression Shen Yingdi would have when he got the 600 yuan shopping card.
Shen Yuxiu's recent focus has been on film preparations, for which he turned down a lot of unnecessary work. He has been away from the film industry for too long. This time he returned to China with a high profile. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at him. Some people trust him, while others doubt him. Naturally, he has to come up with a good work to prove his ability.
He will direct and act in his first work, for which he put almost all of his net worth.
False news is flying all over the market now. Some people say that he is going to make a sci-fi masterpiece and he is in contact with the best sci-fi authors in China; Practice your hands with love commercial films and strive for success
In short, there are different opinions on various news, and each of them said that they have "reliable sources of information". Eight hundred trumpets in the eight groups of Douban took turns breaking the news every day, and the fight became the third world war.
Don't say that the eyes of fans outside the circle are smeared, even the practitioners in the circle are confused.
Miss P felt itchy in her heart, she asked Cheng Xingfei side-by-side: "Xingfei, I'm not urging you, I just wanted to ask, when do you plan to contact Shen Yuxiu?"
It has been a long time since Cheng Xingfei got Shen Yuxiu's business card, but there is still no movement. If Shen Yuxiu thought that Cheng Xingfei didn't want to cooperate with him and went to audition with other actresses, then wouldn't the cooked duck he got fly away
A trace of hesitation flashed across Cheng Xingfei's expression, it was obvious that the knot in his heart had not been untied: "I haven't figured it out yet."
Ms. P almost fainted from lack of oxygen, she pressed herself hard: "Ancestor, you said before that you are not confident in yourself and dare not meet idols, ok, I understand you, I can give you time, wait for you to build up confidence But you have to know, Shen Yuxiu will not wait for you, and the opportunity in his hand will not wait for you to wait any longer. I don't think you should play the heroine for Shen Yuxiu, you can only play Shen Yuxiu's mother."
""
It is said that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is anxious to die, Miss P thinks that she is that eunuch
In this circle, fame and pressure have always coexisted, and many people have to see a psychologist regularly. It's just that Miss P never thought that Cheng Xingfei would need psychological counseling one day.
She was so radiant in front of the camera that everyone admired her superb acting skills. However, because of the mental violence she suffered from her father when she was a child, she became so unconfident that she didn't even have the courage to accept the job invitation from Sullen Xio.
Is that an ordinary olive branch? Obviously not! It’s obviously a golden thigh, it’s traffic, it’s a topic.
Miss P thought about it, and decided to give Xing Fei a push.
Sister P: "Xing Fei, you said before that as long as you can win a prestigious award, you will have the courage to cooperate with Shen Yingdi, right?"
Cheng Xingfei was taken aback for a moment: "Could it be that you are so powerful that you can immediately conjure up a prize?"
"I can't talk about it immediately, but as long as it works well, there is a 70% chance of this award. No, there is an 80% chance that it will be yours." Miss P looked at the schedule, "There will be a private bazaar in Liu Fangzhai this Sunday. Several of the judges will be present. I heard that many candidates will participate. You are a popular candidate behind the scenes, how can you be one step behind others?"
The Golden TV Award is the highest award in the TV drama category in Huaguo, and is selected every two years. Princess Huazhao was naturally shortlisted due to her high topicality and ratings.
The producer is ambitious and has applied for multiple awards. Including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Producer, Best Costume and the most important Best Actress award
According to the wild list voted by the online audience, Cheng Xingfei's winning of this award is basically a certainty.
However, the other candidates did not give up the chance to win the award, and have been working hard to get in touch with the judges—note, this is not "going through the back door", it is called "normal social interaction".
Sister P hopes that Cheng Xingfei can also go to "social networking" more.
Cheng Xingfei disliked this kind of social occasion the least, but he couldn't be absent.
Cheng Xingfei was very cooperative: "Okay, I'll go."
Sister P cheered and said: "It's right to go and I found out that not only the six judges are here this time, even the honorary judge Lin Dao may also be present."
Hearing that unfamiliar yet familiar address, Cheng Xingfei was stunned: "Director Lin, which Director Lin?"
"Which Director Lin, the director Lin who photographed the past like fog?" Miss P said happily, "He is a big senior in the industry, and he has always admired young people. If you can get his appreciation, he will open his mouth. Aren't you holding on to the back of your vision?"
The sun rose and the moon set, and it was Saturday in a blink of an eye.
A low-key commercial vehicle approached the parking lot of the restaurant, and the doorman in charge of parking came over immediately and asked politely: "Sorry, this place is reserved today, do you have an invitation letter?"
The rear window slowly lowered, revealing a delicate and elegant face, and the girl's voice was gentle: "Yes."
Xian Changyu pointed out a light blue invitation card, the guard glanced at it, and immediately bowed his head to make way: "Okay, please, I wish you a happy evening."
"Thanks."
The commercial vehicle restarted and drove into the parking area. The red taillights left two traces in the twilight.
The car drove away, but the doorman was still staring at the direction the car left. His colleague saw this and teased him: "Hey, I said you saw a big star, so out of your mind."
The guard's face turned red instantly: "It's Cheng Xingfei."
"Cheng Xingfei" colleague recalled her appearance on TV, shrugged, "Pretty is pretty, but there are so many female stars here today, it's not like there are none who are prettier than her."
The doorman stopped arguing, and the glimpse just now kept echoing in his mind.
There are many beauties in the entertainment industry, but most of those beauties are accompanied by aggressive personalities and aloof aura. But Cheng Xingfei was different. Even just a glance, a smile, and a "thank you" were enough for this ordinary guard to remember him for a lifetime.
Liu Fangzhai is a low-key but well-known private vegetarian restaurant. The chef's grandfather once cooked for the nobles in the palace. This skill has been passed down from generation to generation, which is very good.
Today, Liu Fangzhai was booked to hold a small charity bazaar. The guests could bring out their treasured items for auction, and all the proceeds would be donated to support the career development of those poor filmmakers.
There is a threshold for this charity bazaar, and it's not something that just any traffic star can join. Cheng Xingfei had heard of the name of this bazaar a long time ago, but she didn't get a precious invitation letter until this year when Princess Huazhao made a personal contribution.
There were only dozens of guests present at the auction. Just as Ms. P said, all six judges of the Golden Television Awards were present, and other nominees could also be seen at the table. In addition to entertainers, some bigwigs from the film and television industry also came, and everyone enjoyed themselves, chatting in low voices while tasting the vegetarian food on the table.
Cheng Xingfei arrived a bit late, she looked around and sat down in a seat that was still available.
There are six people at a table, except for the two investors, the remaining three are all well-known actors in the circle.
Coincidentally, the female artist sitting opposite Cheng Xingfei is Chu Yan, a strong contender for the "behind the scenes" of the Golden Television Awards.
Although the two are both competitors for the rear view, the age difference is more than a star and a half.
Cheng Xingfei is only twenty years old this year, and Chu Yan is already forty-five this year, more than half older than Cheng Xingfei. Chu Yan is an old-timer in the industry. She became popular in the streets and alleys around the millennium. She is an idol of a generation. It is a pity that she chose to quit the industry and get married when she was at its peak. After marriage, she has a daughter who is only fifteen years old this year. The little girl still calls her sister when she sees Cheng Xingfei.
Chu Yan's husband is the president of a film and television company, but unfortunately the company has started to decline in recent years. In order to help her husband's career, Chu Yan did not hesitate to come back and acted as the heroine in a family ethics drama.
That drama is called Halfway Family, which is very suitable for the taste of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and the ratings are also very good-it's a pity that I met Cheng Xingfei and Princess Hua Zhao.
Even though the two are competitors, Chu Yan is old and has a steady mind, and Cheng Xingfei is young and has a down-to-earth personality. Neither of them should be torn apart for an award. After meeting, they chatted enthusiastically.
"Hello, Teacher Chu." Cheng Xingfei nodded and said hello.
"It's Xiao Xingfei, we just talked about you." When Chu Yan saw her, she warmly greeted her to sit down, "My daughter likes your Princess Huazhao, and I want to sign it for me later. My daughter also said that I am not allowed to compete with Her Highness the Princess."
"Ling Ai is so cute, I think she must be joking, if you win the prize, it's too late for her to be happy for you."
"She's not kidding." Chu Yan said with a headache, "I don't know what the little girl is thinking now, and I don't have the heart to study. Instead, I joined several star support groups, doing data, anti-criminal, and cleaning the square every day. I can’t even understand, I said if you really want to wash the square, you should wash the garden in front of our house first, she also blamed me for being old and having a generation gap with her.”
As soon as Chu Yan spoke, several other people in the banquet also echoed.
Go for a drink after reading a book
Except for Cheng Xingfei, the others are not young, some are married and have children, and some relatives have children.
Everyone joked and complained: "Obviously we are stars and entertainers, but the children at home don't want to chase us. If they say there is no sense of distance, it will disillusion the stars. What's wrong with stars? Stars also eat and drink, and pick their noses and yawn."
Everyone chatted happily. Although they were all competitors, there was no tense atmosphere. Cheng Xingfei interjected a few words at the right time, and exchanged contact information again.
Not far away, Ms. P nodded in relief. The child is older and will finally take the initiative to socialize
Half of the feast was eaten, and the person in charge came to the stage to start the charity sale. This charity sale is completely voluntary. The guests present can take photos or buy them. Some people brought out jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, some brought out custom-made luxury dresses, and some took out the autograph book of a deceased filmmaker.
Because it is an internal auction, you don't have to sit in your seat all the time, you can walk around. Sister P took the opportunity to take Cheng Xingfei to socialize in front of several judges, to make a good impression, and said a few polite words.
The judges liked her very much, and one judge who was famous for her "big mouth" directly said that Princess Huazhao is a historical drama, the plot respects history without changing magic, and the service is exquisite, so she is sure to win the award. And Cheng Xingfei, as the heroine, has a great possibility to become the youngest behind-the-scenes winner in history.
Hearing such almost explicit words, Miss P's whole body was about to float.
Miss P couldn't help but walk three minutes faster.
Cheng Xingfei is also very happy. She wants to prove herself through awards. Now that she is at the top of her game, how could she be dissatisfied
Miss P looked around for a week, looking around: "Why didn't I see Director Lin, didn't you mean that Director Lin would also be present?"
Cheng Xingfei's expression didn't change, even the smile on the corner of his mouth didn't move: "Maybe Director Lin is too busy. I heard that he went to Switzerland for a skiing vacation not long ago. He just returned to China, so he probably has jet lag."
Sister P is still regretful: "Director Lin is an honorary judge. Although he doesn't have the right to vote, his words carry a lot of weight. Besides, if you can get his appreciation, maybe you can get a role in his movie."
Cheng Xingfei's tone was light, as if mocking himself: "Where does Director Lin like me?"
"You can't say that. Even if you can only play a small role with only a few lines in a big director's movie, you will benefit a lot." Ms. P paused, and looked at her suspiciously, "Xing Fei, I Why do you think you have a weird attitude towards Director Lin?"
Cheng Xingfei shook his head and smiled, "How is that possible."
Her smile is impeccable, Miss P really can't see anything, she can only take the thought that just flashed by as her own superstition. Director Lin has a very good reputation in the industry, and he always takes good care of newcomers. Many actors have received advice from him, and Cheng Xingfei has never worked with him before, so how could he have any objections to him.
The auction continued and finally came to the last exhibit.
The host stood behind the small table with a smile on his face: "This last lot has a lot of background. This guest was originally reluctant to give up his love, but in order to support the development of newcomers, he reluctantly took it out and shared it with everyone——"
The host lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing three discs of quite old films.
"—As we all know, director Lin Guodong has always insisted on shooting works on film. Ten years ago, when things were like a fog, he used a total of 150,000 feet of film. Now I have three of them. That's right, these They are all original films, and they are all plot scenes that did not appear in the final feature film. Let me tell you, in these three reels, you can see the rare crying scenes of Actor Shen."
After the voice fell, the scene became lively in an instant. All the guests were discussing in low voices. Many guests who had no intention of bidding were thinking about whether to take a photo.
Director Lin Guodong is not only well-known in Huaguo, he also has a place in the world film circle. He won the youngest international movie star Shen Yuxiu, and he was invincible in the domestic film industry, sweeping all the awards, and won the four grand slams of "Best Director", "Best Film", "Best Screenplay" and "Best Actor" .
The host's tone was excited: "I propose, let us applaud together, thank director Lin Guodong for his generosity, and thank him for his dedication to this auction and to young filmmakers. Next, I will announce the starting price of these three films "
The audience applauded thunderously.
At the end of the crowd, Cheng Xingfei exhaled heavily and closed his eyes slightly.
She can't stay here any longer, she can't hear that name anymore, she can't let that person influence her
Cheng Xingfei didn't care about Ms. P's surprised gaze, she put down the wine glass in her hand, got up quickly and left: "I'm going to take a breath."
"Hey, Xingfei"
Cheng Xingfei walked faster and faster, and finally left the cramped place.
The girl walked out of the hall and walked to the garden outside. Only here did she finally breathe freely again.
Liufangzhai is an antique building, and the courtyard is also designed according to the old garden. In the middle of the garden, there is a tall apricot tree, which is lush and green, but unfortunately it is not in the blooming season.
Cheng Xingfei looked up at the lush leaves, and gently put his hand on the trunk.
Her name is Xingfei, because when she was born, it was the season of apricot blossoms. Her mother told her that her father had chosen the name Xingfei for her, and what could be more a show of love than a father naming his daughter himself
However, since Xingfei was young, it was difficult for him to experience the slightest paternal love from his father.
Just as she was in a daze, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded behind her.
The leather shoes grazed the ground and trampled heavily, breaking a branch.
Cheng Xingfei suddenly woke up from the memory, and looked back - behind him, a man in his early fifties with gray temples was frowning at her.
He has a Chinese character face, others say he is amiable and approachable, but Cheng Xingfei can only see pickiness and dissatisfaction on this face forever.
Cheng Xingfei didn't speak.
She turned to leave, but what he said next made her freeze in place.
Lin Guodong looked arrogant: "What's the matter, when you saw me, didn't you even say "Dad?"
