Chapter 147

The first thing Chen Xi did when she returned to Beijing was to find Director Li Yang. Her next film was originally scheduled to be the female lead in Director Li's new film.It can be said that after filming Director Li's "Echo of the Forest", Chen Xi learned to act in a real sense, and since then she has made up her mind to take the path of an actor.Director Li can be regarded as half of her mentor and guide.After five years, the two had the opportunity to work together again, and the new role has a lot of room to play. Chen Xi cherished this opportunity very much, and carefully studied the script several times while recuperating from his injuries.But before she returned to Beijing, she just learned that the film crew was about to start, and the heroine was going to another family, that is to say, she was replaced by someone else.

Director Li was very busy, so he spared half an hour to meet Chen Xi at the coffee shop.Hearing that another actress had already signed a contract and joined the group ahead of time, Chen Xi didn't make unnecessary fights.She invited Li to come out to thank the old man for being the first to think of her when he got a suitable and good book, and she also wanted to know the real reason why she was replaced.

Director Li was silent most of the time. He didn't say nice nonsense to comfort Chen Xi. He was anxious to be asked, so he sipped his coffee and said, "This is not my decision alone. You are also stupid. Is the reason important? "

"I need to know where I'm losing so I can figure out where I'm at."

This drama was initially set to have Chen Xi play the female lead. In addition to the strong recommendation of director Li Yang, there is also the blessing of Ms. Song's favor.Ms. Song was determined to drag Chen Xi out of the pit, which was plagued by negative news, and she herself was splashed with mud. She also pointed at Chen Xi to use this drama to make a complete turnaround.Chen Xi didn't dare to step on her mother's face and pretend to be arrogant. Everything was settled before, and the makeup photos were taken. How could she be reconciled to this incident?

"Chen Xi, your talent is not bad, and you are the material for this bowl of rice. But in my conscience, if you hadn't had your old lady's relationship five years ago, you might not have been able to join my crew. This is what this line of work is like, replacing others. , It's normal to be replaced by others! There is no one who can't be replaced. You are not the only one who is talented and handsome. Is it the right place to use that force?"

Seeing that Chen Xi was stunned and silent, Director Li said before leaving: "Why are you so frustrated! You still walk too smoothly, don't beat yourself up. How did I tell you before—beautiful in front of you, eat shit in your back! You can make a name for yourself , who hasn’t tasted that taste? I still can’t avoid it. If you don’t believe me, ask Ms. Song Mingming again! You can’t figure it out. There are plenty of opportunities. I have a lot of action scenes in this play, and your feet are just right, so keep them!"

After Director Li left, Chen Xi sat alone for a long time, the ice in the coffee cup melted, and the diluted taste was still bitter.She roughly figured out the cause of the matter from Director Li's few words.A certain person who prompted the investor to give this role to Chen Xi was Song Mingming's "fan" and had admired her for a long time.Song Mingming did several activities for Chen Xi, and he had to wipe his face, which happened to give the other party a chance to get close to Fangze.No one knows what else that character did to please the beautiful woman. In short, he aroused the strong jealousy of his original wife, and that lady also had a deep background.

Ms. Song's relationship with the media has always been good, and suddenly there are a lot of pointed and explosive articles, which really offend people who shouldn't be offended.Chen Xi was not wronged to lose this role.

Ms. Song has been unique in her life, but Chen Xi believes that she has her bottom line, and she doesn't bother to explain it to anyone.Including Chen Xi's change of roles this time, Ms. Song just said calmly on the phone: "It's not your problem, it's my agent who didn't do a good job. It's okay, don't worry, you just move on, and I Woolen cloth!"

Chen Xi wanted to say, I don't need others to taste what I should taste for me, even if it's something like shit!She also wanted to ask Ms. Song, is this the only way to endure the dirty water splashed on her body?However, as Director Li Yang said, these doubts still remain, which just proves that she is still too young!
Her mobile phone stayed on Ms. Song's contact interface until the screen went dark, and the call was not made.

Jiang Tao has been calling a lot lately, frequently asking Chen Xi to go out.His focus of work seems to have returned to Beijing. He heard that he has partnered with a friend in the entertainment industry to start a new company, intending to get involved in the film and television drama industry, and offered an olive branch to Chen Xi, saying that he has a very good project to follow. She cooperates.

Director Li's play was dirty, and Ms. Song arranged for Chen Xi to appear on a variety show.With scandals and works going hand in hand, Chen Xi is not lacking in enthusiasm.Jiang Tao's invitation to Ms. Song also knew about it. He went to Ms. Song first, and gave her the project proposal for review.It was an IP adaptation of a popular book, and a screenwriter with previous blockbuster works was invited to polish the script, and a senior director was also being approached.

Ms. Song's suggestion to Chen Xi is that she can think about it. Although she is now a movie star, it is a bit low to turn to acting in TV dramas, but Chen Xi is at the age suitable for acting as the heroine of idol dramas. When she encounters a project with potential, Maybe it can consolidate her popularity with the audience.Jiang Tao is Wu Sicheng's good friend. Ms. Song trusts Wu Sicheng. From him, she learned that Jiang Tao is reliable regardless of his family background and work ability. She let Chen Xi handle it by herself.

Chen Xi was very annoyed at that time, no matter how good the pie was, it didn't taste good, so she ignored Jiang Tao.Jiang Tao felt aggrieved: "Grandma, you can't be prejudiced against the project because of my personal perception. Shouldn't dedicated actors understand the content of the cooperation before making judgments?"

In order to reject this new investor in the film and television industry with reason and evidence, Chen Xi flipped through the information he sent over, and on the first page, she showed a strange smile——Among the number one male candidates listed above, At the top of the list is a familiar name: Miao Miao!

It turned out that Jiang Tao claimed that he would find the most popular and high-quality young student to act with her, and he was talking about Miao Miao!

Chen Xi and Miao Miao hadn't contacted each other since they said goodbye at the hotel. She acted in her play, and he danced his dance.Three years ago, there was a movie about the legendary career of a famous dancer that needed young and outstanding male dancers to play the young master. After many twists and turns, he found Mr. Ding Shuying, and Mr. Ding recommended his closed disciple to them.Regardless of age, image or professional skills, Miao Miao perfectly fits the role, and the drama crew was overjoyed.I heard that this guy still took Joe, and he refused to do anything "not doing his job properly". In the end, I don't know who succeeded in persuading him.

After the show was released, it received unanimous praise in the industry, and it also unexpectedly made Miao Miao, who didn't have many roles in the show, his handsome and cold face and amazing dancing skills made people shine.Immediately afterwards, he was beaten to death and refused to act in a different line of work, and he played the leading role in a youth school idol drama.

Last year, Chen Xi met Miao Miao, who was also a guest performer, at the recording site of a certain TV station's New Year's Eve party.Miao Miao's small expression seemed to reveal the biggest stain in her life.Chen Xi deliberately made fun of him, leaned over and said meanly: "Hey, meow! You still owe me money to open the house!"

Miao Miao's waist was straight, and her fingertips tremblingly transferred the full and zero room rates to Chen Xi, and she also seriously left a message in the notes: "I was wrong!" But she didn't say a word to Chen Xi face to face.When Chen Xi sat an inch closer, his butt moved an inch quietly.

Chen Xi laughed to death in his heart, and asked him solemnly: "Is your plan to lose your virginity successful? Did you write a weekly diary about what happened that night? Is there anything about me? How did you write about me? I'm curious, You are such a young and old artist with integrity, why did you come to grab the actor's job? Hey, don't be so cold, tell me at least!"

The surrounding staff saw that the two were chatting vigorously, and curiously asked how they met.Chen Xi said: "It's a long story, that year we..."

Miao Miao hurriedly dragged Chen Xi to an empty dressing room to "reminiscing about the old days" before she could say something surprising.He said: "Zhu Yan asked me to act. She said that the dancers are injured and sick, so it's not a long-term solution. I'm not doing well. I can dance for another ten years, but she threatened me..."

"Did she say that if you break your leg now, you can change careers immediately?"

"How do you know... almost, no wonder you are friends. Let me answer you, I'm done. Please don't bring up the past, and I hope you don't talk about it in front of Zhu Yan!"

Chen Xi stopped teasing him, thinking: Poor baby!That stupid thing has served as an appetizer between Chen Xi and Zhu Yan for countless times over the years.His moral standards are so high, he is stricter than himself and others, Zhu Yan doesn't know what to think about pushing him into the entertainment industry!

With that experience, Miao Miao avoided whenever she ran into Chen Xi later on, which shows that she was really ashamed to face the foolishness of the year.

Chen Xi replied to Jiang Tao: "Miao Miao is your first choice for male number one? He doesn't deserve to act with me, does he?"

Jiang Tao's words were full of smiles: "My producer said, this is a big heroine drama, and the plot is also about sibling love. Of course Miao Miao's status is not as good as yours, but he has become very popular recently, so it's no problem to be a green leaf Yes. You are old acquaintances, take him with you."

"It's too early to talk." Chen Xi said disapprovingly, "You first ask that kid Miao Miao if he dares to accept this play!"

A few days later, Chen Xi and Wei Jia had a video call before going to bed, and she told him about it in a joking tone.Unexpectedly, Wei Jia, who always responded with "I can do it all", was silent this time, and when she tried to skip this topic, she suddenly asked: "Are you going to take this drama?"

Wei Jia and Jiang Tao have only met twice, and based on the intuition of a male creature, it is not difficult for him to catch Jiang Tao's affection for Chen Xi.That didn't come from the admiration of the elders for the young, but a man's undisguised admiration for the opposite sex.

As for Miao Miao... Wei Jia almost ran into his "good thing" with Chen Xi!It's not that Wei Jia can't trust Chen Xi, it's just that the two lunatics together are like a ticking time bomb.If he were asked to list the two people he least wanted Chen Xi to be associated with among the known human beings in the world, they would probably be Jiang Tao and Miao Miao.There is a drama, one of them is an investor, and the other is a partner in an emotional drama. Wei Jia really can't say "I can do both" against his will.

He had said she was free, but she was becoming more greedy every day.

"You don't want me to pick it up?" Chen Xi asked knowingly.

"Yes. Of course I hope you have other options!"

Wei Jia on the screen of Chen Xi's mobile phone lowered his eyes and did not meet her eyes when he gave this answer.

She showed a puzzled smile: "If you agreed to be my manager, wouldn't you be able to influence my decision?"
