Cheng Xingfei looked back at the familiar yet unfamiliar middle-aged man.
The man had his hands behind his back, like a leader reviewing his subordinates, with a scrutiny in his expression.
He is Lin Guodong.
He is - Cheng Xingfei's biological father.
If this news gets out, it will definitely cause shock in the circle: Who would have thought that Cheng Xingfei, the hottest traffic floret now, is actually the daughter of the famous director Lin Guodong
In this circle, it is very common for children to inherit their father's career. Many parents will pave the way for their children through their contacts, so that children can go smoothly in this complicated circle.
But Cheng Xingfei has never disclosed this matter on any occasion since her debut. She and Lin Guodong are like two strangers, they have no intersection at all.
Cheng Xingfei looked at Lin Guodong who was standing opposite him, his lips trembled, but in the end he couldn't say those two words as he wished.
She slightly twitched the corner of her mouth, and asked back: "You were the one who said that as long as I was in this circle for a day, I couldn't tell anyone about my relationship with you. Don't you always think I'm embarrassing for you?"
The middle-aged man frowned, and a trace of irritability flashed across his face.
"Aren't you ashamed enough?" the man said, "A student, who doesn't want to study hard, is it so easy to get into the entertainment industry with all his heart? Your mother also fooled around with you, and asked you to come out when you were ten years old?" Child star, is our family short of that little money? Isn’t it because you have a perverted mind and a love of vanity at a young age?”
"Admiration of vanity" Although it is not the first time to hear his father say this, Cheng Xingfei still feels powerless and absurd about it, "Do you still think I am vain until now? If I really adored vanity, I would not have changed my surname. I don’t want to let you down. There are so many child stars in this circle who are famous since they were young. Many actors’ children have endorsed milk powder commercials and participated in parent-child variety shows. In your opinion, they are as vain as I am and can’t get on the stage.”
How ridiculous. If a child says that he wants to be a pianist when he grows up, his parents will praise him; if he says that he wants to be a doctor when he grows up, and he will study hard from now on, his parents will praise him; As an actress, she wanted to stand in the spotlight and let everyone see her performance. For this, she sacrificed her childhood and stood in front of the camera since she was ten years old, but her father actually said that she was " vanity"
"They are them, and you are you." The more Lin Guodong said, the more irritable his tone became, "Besides, you keep saying that you want to be an actor, but look at what you are doing now, shooting commercials, variety shows, and even representing some shopping malls. You don't look like a serious actor, you're just wasting your life."
Again.
Cheng Xingfei thought, it's like this again.
In her father's eyes, she always seems to be a "playful" child, and her father will never see her efforts.
When he was a child, Lin Guodong couldn't see how hard she was studying foreign languages, piano, dancing, and completing heavy homework. He only saw her reading comic books for entertainment before going to bed; the same is true now, he is selectively blind and cannot see When she starred in a TV series with a rating of over 3, he didn't see that she was nominated for a post-TV show. He only saw her "doing nothing" to shoot commercials and accept variety shows.
Sometimes Cheng Xingfei would like to ask him, is it because in his eyes, no matter how good her daughter is, she will never get 100 points
It's not speculative, and for every minute Cheng Xingfei stays with him, her life is wasted 60 seconds because of these meaningless things.
Cheng Xingfei closed her eyes slightly, and said quickly: "I'm already an adult. I'm no longer that ten-year-old kid, and I have to get the consent of my guardian before I even shoot an advertisement. A clear plan, shooting variety shows, commercials, and film and television dramas are all part of it, my agent will share my worries for me, you don't need to point out."
"You still have the nerve to mention your works." Lin Guodong is a filmmaker, and he is a filmmaker full of literary and artistic flavor. He watched Cheng Xingfei's works—most of them are love popcorn movies that are not on the stage. Even if the ratings are high, what's the point? , that should also be on the big screen from my movie"
"You don't have to worry about the big director."
Cheng Xingfei smiled brightly, shining like a star: "Forgive me - with my current fame, my salary, you pay, no, up."
The auction on the stage is in full swing.
Ms. P sat under the stage, but her heart was up and down, and she always felt that something was about to happen. She recalled that just now Cheng Xingfei rushed out of the room with an ugly expression on her face, she was finally relieved, picked up her bag and followed out.
After searching for a while, she saw the familiar figure in the garden.
She walked there quickly, and on the way, she passed a dark-faced middle-aged man.
Ms. P's eyes widened slightly, and a commercial smile instantly appeared on her face: "Director Lin, hello, I am"
But director Lin Guodong, who was always known for his kindness, did not stop at all. Instead, he glared at her, and then walked away angrily.
Ms. p: ""
Forget it, it's still important to be an artist.
Miss P hurried to the garden and found Cheng Xingfei standing under the tree.
Sister P: "Xingfei, why did you suddenly run out?"
Cheng Xingfei smiled lightly, looking the same as usual: "It's too stuffy inside, and my skirt is too tight, so I feel uncomfortable."
really so
Miss P hesitated for a moment, and said, "Just now I saw Director Lin leave here, and when he passed me by, he gave me a stare, Xing Fei, you"
Cheng Xingfei interrupted her, and said flatly, "I guess it's because of a cigarette addiction."
"ah"
"Director Lin saw me standing here just now, so he came over to ask me to borrow a lighter. I said I don't smoke, and he left in a hurry. He probably got addicted to cigarettes, so he hurried to ask someone else to borrow a lighter."
Lin Guodong is a big smoker, and he never leaves his mouth when he is on the set. Many people give him presents during the New Year and holidays. The gifts are shredded tobacco and cigars. Everyone in the circle knows this. The reason Cheng Xingfei gave was logical and impeccable.
Miss P hesitated for a while, but finally chose to trust Cheng Xingfei.
It's not that she couldn't detect that there was something wrong with Cheng Xingfei's words, but as a manager, she decided to trust her artist and give her some breathing room. She doesn't want to push her too hard.
Cheng Xingfei changed the subject: "Sister, how much is my current salary?"
This is Ms. P's business scope. She immediately replied: "Because Princess Hua Zhao was nominated for the Golden Movie Awards, the quotation has been raised again, and now it is 50 million. Of course, this price is set out to scare off For those unreliable small companies, we can talk about the details, and if you encounter a good script, good director and good company, you can drop down appropriately."
Cheng Xingfei nodded: "Then if Director Lin came to ask—"
Miss P's eyes lit up: "Director Lin really came to ask just now," she screamed, "This is a once-in-a-century opportunity, don't worry, the company will never get stuck with you and cut down a zero, no, two zero is ok”
Cheng Xingfei: "——If Director Lin comes to ask, I will quote 100 million."
Ms. p: ""
On the way home, Cheng Xingfei leaned his head on the car window, staring at the neon lights and shadows speeding past the window in a daze.
It's getting late now, but for many, the nightlife is just getting started. The business district is crowded with people. Today is Friday, and everyone has a relaxed and happy smile on their faces.
Cheng Xingfei saw countless "selfs" in the crowd - she was printed on billboards, posters, and the ever-changing LED screen on the roof.
Through the car window, she stared blankly at the people who passed by her, and at herself who passed by.
The car stopped in front of the zebra crossing, the red and green clewx. The fastest release light was very long, so long that she could read the advertisement on the large LED screen next to it. Coincidentally, that commercial happened to be a promotional video for the actor's starting line.
The program team combined the contestants' performances with the mentors' comments, but the editor didn't know that the people who appeared on the screen were not only Cheng Xingfei, but also Hua Zhao who was fighting for her.
In the show, Hua Zhao speaks sharply, and his eyes seem to be radiant. She stood up with a sword in her hand, her figure was agile, like a swimming dragon.
——In every stroke of her life, the word "fearless" is filled.
She stared blankly at the person who was exactly the same as herself but completely different from her on the screen, as if she heard surging waves crashing against her heart.
The car started again, and the advertisement gradually moved away from Cheng Xingfei.
She immediately took out her phone, found Hua Zhao's WeChat account, and sent her a message.
Xingfei: Hua Zhao, thank you.
Hua Zhao came back quickly.
Playboy:
Playboy: Ah, what did I do wrong, I'm very good at home today
playboy: hunk cry
Playboy: Don't scare me
Cheng Xingfei laughed.
Xingfei: I didn't mean anything.
Xingfei: I really want to thank you.
Xingfei: I just suddenly realized how miserable my life was before I met you.
Xingfei: I always want to prove myself, and I always want to be a good boy that everyone likes.
Xingfei: Actually, it’s not necessary at all.
Xingfei: Because some people will only see my flaws forever.
Xingfei: I am already very good, I am already very good.
Xingfei: You are like a mirror.
Xingfei: When you stood in front of me, I realized what I was really missing.
Playboy: so
Playboy: what are you missing
Xingfei: I found that I lacked a lot of courage.
Hua Zhao didn't know what happened to Cheng Xingfei, but felt that what she said today was so profound.
Playboy: Well, do you have the courage now
Playboy: I don't have many other things, but I have the most courage.
Playboy: If you don’t have enough, I can pass some on to you
Cheng Xingfei hugged the phone, and was amused by her again.
Xingfei: No need, enough is enough.
Xingfei: I was so courageous just now, I scolded someone I really hate in person
When Hua Zhao heard this, he immediately happily sent her a series of applauding emojis.
Cheng Xingfei looked at those small figures clapping on the screen, and smiled, his eyes suddenly became wet.
Today she did something that she never even dared to think about—she actually mocked her father face to face. With Lin Guodong's character, he must be so angry that he wants to take quick-acting heart-relief pills
These are all the changes Hua Zhao brought her.
Playboy: Then in order to celebrate the courage you inherited from me, let's celebrate it
Xingfei: How to celebrate
Playboy: Fried Chicken Milk Tea Stinky Tofu Spicy Hot Pot
Xingfei: You are seducing an actress who is about to join the group
Xingfei: Don’t you know that you gain three catties on camera? I can’t eat it
Playboy: Hey, you have a new movie to shoot
Playboy: It's a pity, then you can only watch me eat:
Playboy: Proud
The two quarreled endlessly about how to celebrate this event, and finally Cheng Xingfei agreed to bring home two cups of milk tea and a fried chicken chop.
Hua Zhao went to play the game happily, and Cheng Xingfei re-read the chat records of the two from the beginning to the end, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never fell off.
She closed the dialogue between the two of them, closed her eyes and adjusted her thoughts quietly, then picked up the phone again, and pressed a series of numbers that she knew by heart.
"Hello, is this Mr. Shen Yuxiu Shen? I'm Cheng Xingfei. I'm sorry to call you so late."
"I would like to ask when your film auditions are held"
