Chapter 135: Counter-control

Looking at the two roommates playing and fighting, Chen Xin couldn't help but smile, and was also happy that Yang Yi had a way out after graduation.

I sincerely wish you all the best: "I hope both of you will have smooth sailing in your acting careers and achieve great things in the future."

Having solved the problem that had been bothering her for a long time, Yang Yi has since transformed into Liu Shishi's little fangirl, and couldn't help but flatter her: "Our Shishi is still awesome, how can Lu Yi compare with you!"

Where there are people, there is the world. Liu Shishi and Lu Yi are known as the "two prides of Beijing Dance Academy". They both happened to have entered the entertainment industry, so they are often compared by their classmates to see who has developed better.

Chen Xin and Yang Yi had argued several times with the girls in Lu Yi's dormitory about this matter before.

At the beginning of this year, "Wulin Waijia" was broadcast on New Year's Day. Although Liu Shishi only made a guest appearance in three episodes, she was able to have an outstanding role in the opening drama of the year broadcast by CCTV, which can be regarded as a rising star, and she is better than Lu Yi, who has no works broadcast yet.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, "The Fairy From the Other World" became a hit and Lu Yi was the leading actor in the drama. Then his classmates at Beijing Dance Academy began to think that Lu Yi was doing better than Liu Shishi.

Things change over time. Before the Chinese New Year, "Night Club" was broadcast and Liu Shishi became the leading lady of a movie with a box office of 50 million yuan. This time, she made a comeback and surpassed Lu Yi.

After the New Year, neither of them had any works broadcast, and things were quiet for a while. However, "So Young" starring Lu Yi is about to be released next month, and recently there has been a stir again. Several of Lu Yi's roommates have started to show off in front of Chen Xin and Yang Yi again.

Fortunately, both of them are going to star in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Mu Nianci played by Liu Shishi is obviously better than Cheng Yaojia played by Lu Yi. Generally speaking, the two are about the same and there is no distance between them.

However, in Yang Yi's view, with Song Ci, the big boss hidden behind the scenes, backing Liu Shishi, her good roommate will definitely have a strong momentum in the entertainment industry in the future.

Just by trying out his skills today, he can find a supporting role to bring him into the circle. Does Lu Yi have such energy?

Seeing the two girls indignant, Liu Shishi smiled and waved her hand to persuade them, "It's just an empty title. You are all about to graduate, and you may never see each other again.

Let's give in to each other and cherish the last time we spend together as classmates. Besides, Lu Yi is a very nice person, and there is no competition between her and me."

She never thought about competing with anyone. Even if she was temporarily suppressed by Lu Yi, so what? Lu Yi was an artist of Tengda Culture, and she was the future boss lady of Tengda Group, which was almost like being one of their own.

And with Song Ci around, she has constant access to high-quality resources and can look down on her peers with a detached attitude.

She doesn't have to fight and compete like other actresses in the entertainment industry, or to flatter the powerful and trample on the weak for a role. Through Mr. Song's words and deeds, she feels that her own vision is improving.

Seeing how calm Liu Shishi was, Chen Xin said admiringly, "Sishi, you are really different now that you have become an actress. You seem to be more and more elegant now.

Those few words just now also gave me a different feeling. How can I describe it appropriately? Well, not fighting or competing, and being as calm as a chrysanthemum. "

Yang Yi also nodded and agreed, "I don't have a problem with Lu Yi, I just can't stand her roommate's arrogant attitude.

It's as if they are the heroines of a TV series. Shishi, your boyfriend is Song Ci, and we even had dinner with Boss Song. Am I proud?"

Liu Shishi grinned at her roommate's praise: "It's meaningless to use the power of others to bully others. But you didn't tell anyone about my relationship with Song Ci, did you?"

"Of course not!" Yang Yi curled her lips. She was not stupid. The Song Ci connection was an important connection. How could she tell others about it?

"That's good that she didn't say anything!" Liu Shishi nodded slightly. As for her relationship with Mr. Song's lover, her current attitude was to let nature take its course.

Almost everyone close to her knows about their relationship, and as for those who don't know, she won't go out of her way to publicize it so that everyone knows about it.

"Okay, I won't say any more. I still need to read the script."

I originally wanted to ask my roommate for some good advice on how to play Mu Nianci, but after a few words, he started rambling and straying off the topic.

Liu Shishi wondered if she should go ask an acting teacher for advice. She heard from Mr. Song that Tengda Culture had recently hired an acting teacher who was very good at training actors. She decided to go ask for advice some other day.

The dormitory returned to peace. Liu Shishi picked up the script again, her eyes focused on reading between the lines, carefully pondering every plot, trying to empathize with Mu Nianci's inner world. She turned to the next page of the script, and her expression suddenly changed.

Mu Nianci actually has an intimate kissing scene with Yang Kang. Liu Shishi immediately frowned, with a hint of resistance and uneasiness in her eyes.

She suppressed her anxiety and watched the whole scene carefully several times. She couldn't help but feel relieved. In her opinion, this kiss scene could have been completely avoided.

Mu Nianci and Yang Kang have only known each other for a short time. Their feelings can be conveyed through their eyes, tone of voice and subtle movements, so the kissing scene seems a bit abrupt.

Without further ado, without any hesitation, he picked up his cell phone, walked to the balcony, closed the glass sliding door, and called Cai Yinong.

"Hey, Master!"

"Sister K, I was just reading the script of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Why do Mu Nianci and Yang Kang have a kissing scene? I can't accept it. Can you talk to the crew on my behalf and ask them to delete the kissing scene?" Liu Shishi went straight to the point, her tone firm and urgent.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Cai Yinong's stern refusal came: "Liu Shishi, do you know how much investment this play has? The kissing scene is necessary for the development of the plot and is also an important element to attract the audience. I will not change the script arbitrarily because of your personal preference."

Liu Shishi's resistance became stronger when she heard this, and she argued, "Sister K, I really don't want to film a kissing scene, and I think adding a kissing scene is completely unnecessary."

"Liu Shishi, don't mess around, this is work. You have to understand that as an actor, sometimes you need to make some sacrifices for the role.

This is not only a test of your professionalism, but also a lesson you must learn on your career path." Cai Yinong said firmly, with a hint of unquestionable tone.

The atmosphere between the two of them gradually became tense. Liu Shishi exhaled, her voice clear and powerful, and she responded very seriously:

"Sister K, I will not do a kissing scene. This is my bottom line. Not now and not in the future. If Mu Nianci's kissing scene is not deleted, I will quit the crew of The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

Cai Yinong felt a headache. His sister was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside and stubborn. Sometimes it was really hard to communicate with her. He could only soften his tone and talk to her:

"Shishi, how about this? We can use a borrowed camera during filming, and you don't need to really kiss. Your current status is not enough to ask the crew to modify the script for you.

Don't ruin your reputation or give up such a great opportunity just because of a little willfulness." These words were both a warning and a persuasion, but overall he compromised with Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi had no choice but to use her strength to suppress others: "Sister K, thank you for your kindness, but I don't accept the use of fake shots. After the TV series was broadcast, the audience thought that there was no difference between fake shots and real kissing.

If the coordination is really not possible, I will give up on starring in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I can always play the leading female role in Tengda Culture's upcoming Oranges in Huainan in the second half of the year."

Cai Yinong heard the cold tone and said, "Liu Shishi, are you threatening me? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have some connections in Tengda. Remember, you are still an artist of Tangren. I am the president of Tangren Company. Believe it or not, I will ban you."

The situation was tense for a while. Liu Shishi didn't want to ruin her relationship with Cai Yinong, so she was hesitating whether to confront her directly and reveal Song Ci's identity to subdue her. After hesitating for a while, she decided to give up. She couldn't rely on her boyfriend for everything.

Youyou sighed: "Sister K, I am not afraid of you hiding me. At worst, I will terminate my contract with Tangren. I have Tengda Culture behind me. Tengda is stronger than Tangren. You can't do anything to me. This is the reality.

Sister K, The Legend of the Condor Heroes is a project produced by Tangren and Tengda. It's just a matter of your words to delete the kissing scene. Why should we be unhappy over such a small matter? "

On the other end of the phone, Cai Yinong was silent for a moment and gradually calmed down. Now that Liu Shishi has just risen to power, the Tang people need a sister who can take the lead, has resources and background. It is really not worth falling out over such a small matter. He was just angry because of Liu Shishi's stubbornness.

I suddenly felt mixed emotions. After today's semi-showdown, Sister Yi was a little out of control. However, the situation was stronger than me, so I could only compromise and replied stiffly: "I will communicate with the crew."

Liu Shishi immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Sister K!"

Cai Yinong, who was far away in the East China Sea, was just about to hang up the phone when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. Recalling the last time she suggested Liu Shishi to hype herself up, she also strongly opposed it. A bold guess suddenly emerged that the girl might be in love!

Because she was concerned about her boyfriend's thoughts, she was very resistant to creating scandals and filming kissing scenes. When you think about it carefully, Liu Shishi was exactly the same as Sun Li when she fell in love. She would ask her boyfriend about everything first, worrying about the gains and losses, and afraid that he would object.

Cai Yinong asked tentatively through the phone: "Shishi, are you in love?" His tone was affirmative, with a bit of sophistication and directness.

Liu Shishi was shocked at first. Did Sister K know about her relationship with Mr. Song? Then she realized that the other party was probably just guessing.

Truth will come to light sooner or later. When she is filming a movie and her boyfriend visits her on set, their relationship will be discovered sooner or later. So she said frankly, "Yes."

Cai Yinong suddenly realized at this moment, it was true, now all of Liu Shishi's actions made sense, and it was most likely that the man was not from the circle.

He was just about to ask Liu Shishi to break up, but thinking about the argument they had just had, he guessed she wouldn't listen even if he said anything.

But I couldn't help but give her a heartfelt advice: "Shishi, I know that girls of your age are always full of longing for love. However, as an artist, you must always keep a clear head.

A relationship will only distract you and affect your work performance. Moreover, once the relationship is exposed, it will cause immeasurable damage to your image and fan base.”

Liu Shishi didn't care at all and was full of confidence: "Sister K, don't worry, I will handle my feelings and career well."

Cai Yinong knew that today was not a good day for a deep conversation. "Shishi, I hope you can seriously consider what I said and not let your feelings affect your career."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Shishi stood on the balcony. The moon was bright outside the window, and the stars were sparse, with the occasional chirping of cicadas. She knew that as an artist, she would inevitably have responsibilities and pressures to bear, and she would work hard to find a balance between career and love.

But if one day there is an irreconcilable conflict between career and love, she will give up her career without hesitation. In her heart, nothing is more important than Song Ci.

After ending the call, Cai Yinong paced back and forth in the living room of his home, feeling extremely upset. Why are all the female artists recruited by Tangren Films such a bunch of people? They are so young and instead of busy with their careers, they are all thinking about dating. They are all love-brained and hopeless.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I had to find a way to make Liu Shishi break up with her boyfriend. My eldest sister was young and ignorant, and she was obsessed with love. As a boss, I couldn't let her fall into depravity, so I had to help her.

Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. You must first understand the man's situation before you can prescribe the right medicine. After thinking about some countermeasures, Cai Yinong first called Liu Shishi's assistant.

How could she, a personal assistant, not know that an artist was in a relationship? There must be clues in their daily phone calls and daily life. How dare she not report to the company? She must be thinking of rebelling!

"Mr. Cai, good evening. What can I do for you?" A silly voice came from the other end of the line.

Little rascal! Cai Yinong cursed inwardly, and the chubby, honest face of Jiang Yuanyuan appeared in his mind. He never thought that she was pretending to obey him and hiding her love affair with Liu Shishi.

"Jiang Yuanyuan, let me ask you, is Shishi in a relationship?"

Jiang Yuanyuan has been in Peking recently. Since the young lady didn't join the crew, she didn't have much to do. She usually posted messages at home and managed the forum for Miss Liu. Her life was so leisurely and comfortable.

When he heard Cai Yinong asking about the young lady's love affair, he didn't know how to answer. His eyes rolled around, thinking about how to deal with it first.

"Don't play tricks on me, say something!" Not hearing any answer, Cai Yinong hurriedly asked.

Jiang Yuanyuan decided to deal with it casually for now, and then ask the young lady how to deal with it: "Maybe we talked about it, I'm not sure about the details."

Cai Yinong frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "What does maybe mean?"

Jiang Yuanyuan curled her lips and said perfunctorily: "Shishi often chats with a man on the phone. It feels like they are in love, but I have never met him, so I am not sure."

In fact, she knew that the young lady's boyfriend was Song Ci, the big boss of Tengda Group. When Liu Shishi took her to meet Song Ci on New Year's Day, she was stunned and sighed that the young lady was very capable. After just a few days of internship in the company, she managed to win over the handsome and rich boss Song.

Unfortunately, when she asked the young lady for the secret of how to win over men, Liu Shishi just covered her mouth and giggled, refusing to teach her a few tricks. It was so infuriating!

Cai Yinong asked doubtfully, "You really don't know?"

Jiang Yuanyuan is not afraid of Cai Yinong, she is not afraid of Cai Yinong: "Mr. Cai, I really don't know."
