waiting for your starlight

Chapter 180

what?
Yixi stood stiffly, and after thinking about it in a mess for a while, she finally said: "You...know me?"

Jiang Bingqi chuckled, "I hugged you when you were young, but you were still a baby at that time, so I definitely don't remember you."

Yixi's heart skipped a beat again.Jiang Bingqi looked at her with gentle eyes. Yixi had seen it on many people's faces. It was the kindness and tolerance of the elders towards the younger ones.

Now the situation is clear, Jiang Bingqi is a friend of her parents, so he knew her background from the beginning.This was really beyond her expectation. After nearly three years in the circle, this was the first person other than Li Chenglang to expose her identity in person.

She said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I don't know... No one told me, so, so you are my mother's friend..."

Jiang Bingqi interrupted her, "I am not your mother's friend. I am your father's friend, and I am not familiar with Shen Yilu."

He mentioned Shen Yilu's tone very coldly, and Yixi remembered that when he commented on Shen Yilu's courage just now, his tone was not praise.He doesn't like her, which is consistent with Yixi's understanding.

The reason why she was so attached to Jiang Bingqi's movie was because she had seen his and Shen Yilu's reports.It is said that Shen Yilu wanted to make "One Eternity" very much back then, so she flew to Shanghai for several auditions, but Jiang Bingqi rejected her.At that time, Shen Yilu was already the queen of Berlin, and it was a shame and humiliation to be treated like this. Jiang Bingqi later chose Yang Manyu, the first-generation Qin girl who had just emerged at that time. Many media said that he was crazy, but in the end "Once Forever" won the first prize in Cannes, and Yang Manyu also did so Embarking on the road to international superstardom proved the correctness of his decision.

Although Yixi was selected by Tan Weidong before, he had always had doubts, worrying that he was attracted by the shadow of Shen Yilu on her body.There are great directors who appreciate Shen Yilu everywhere in this circle, only Jiang Bingqi and her conflicts are known to everyone, so Yixi came up with an idea, if she can be liked by Jiang Bingqi, then there is no need to worry about this at all.He doesn't like Shen Yilu, so if he likes her, it must be because she has something better than Shen Yilu.

Thinking of the past few months of reading and practicing handwriting, pondering Jiang Bingqi's preferences, and writing that handwriting with all his strength, Yixi only felt tired.After working hard for so long, I finally realized that everything was different from what I expected. The person who didn't like Shen Yilu the most actually had the closest relationship with her.

"...But even if it's your father, we haven't seen each other for many years, and we rarely even talk on the phone. It's normal that he didn't mention me to you. After all, more than 20 years ago, we had a quarrel to the point of breaking up friendship. This is what happened in the past two years." Jiang Bingqi said, seeing that Yixi remained silent, he said, "Why, are you so surprised?"

Yi Xi paused, "Is it because of my family that you agreed to see me? What did my father tell you?"

Jiang Bingqi asked without answering, "What if I say yes?"

Yixi's eyes darkened, and Jiang Bingqi sighed, "I told your father that you were childish, but he still didn't quite agree. You really should show him what you look like now."

The old man no longer had that amiable expression on his face, but a slight mockery.Yixi didn't understand what happened, he leaned back in the chair, and said slowly: "You have been in the industry for nearly three years now, and you have been hiding your relationship with Shen Yilu from the outside world, even your manager doesn't know. I also I asked your father, and he said that you didn’t get any help from your family, and you worked hard on your own. I think it’s very interesting, but I don’t understand why you did this?”

Yixi muttered, "I hope I can rely on my own strength..."

"Oh, so you think it's a shameful way to rely on your family's background in such a circle?"

Just as Yixi was about to answer, she found that Jiang Bingqi was frowning slightly, and his eyes were a little cold.In a blink of an eye, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Bingqi was the second generation director, and it was because of his father's connections that he was able to become famous all over the country at a young age.If she didn't answer well, she might offend the elder and the industry leader.

She said: "No, I don't think so. With or without outside help, talent is a real thing, and sooner or later the world will discover it."

Jiang Bingqi said, "Really? I don't think so."

Yixi was stunned, "Director Jiang..."

Jiang Bingqi stood up, "At the beginning, I worked as a director with your father, but he gave up halfway and went to a university to become a boring teacher. Although this was caused by your mother, in the final analysis, it was because of his own temperament, which is extremely easy-going. fold."

Turning to look at Yixi, his expression became serious for the first time after she entered the door, "Childish, noble, idealized. You are really your father's good daughter, you are almost carved out of him."

It has been many years since no one associated his father with the director, and with such severe criticism attached, Yixi wanted to refute, but rationally held back.She said softly: "You called me here today just to say this? You don't plan to use me as your heroine at all, so why waste your time on me?"

Jiang Bingqi looked at her without answering.

Why?Maybe she wouldn't even believe it now, the reason he spent so much energy criticizing her was not because of disgust, but precisely because of his appreciation for her.

He has seen all of her works since her debut. Although they are all boring commercial films and TV dramas, her talent can no longer be concealed.Out of friendship with Liang Ge and out of caring for an excellent actor, he wanted to correct her unrealistic thoughts.This is not an inspirational movie. The world is cruel. Too many talented people are buried because they have no background. For someone like her who is clearly qualified but avoids family power, obstacles on the career path will even cause More than those without background.Reasonable use of resources will get her far, and he doesn't want these frivolous concerns to affect her.
