Chapter 5: She went from being a stand-in to being a regular! ! ! !

"What did you say to her?"

In the dressing room, Qiao Zhizheng heard this question for the second time.

Facing the director who had asked the question before, Qiao Zhizheng smiled and said, "This is their private matter. Are you sure you want to know?"

When the director heard this, he thought about it and decided to give up. After all, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing, especially the private affairs of the financial sponsor.

The director shook his head and said, "No thanks."

After thinking about it, the director said to the coordinator, "Add each other on WeChat, I'll contact you if I need anything." The latter sentence was directed to Qiao Zhizheng.

Qiao Zhizheng understood that this was a golden opportunity, so she immediately smiled and thanked the director.

The director waved his hand and let her go.

Qiao Zhizheng took the money and went to the dressing room to change out of her costume.

The makeup artists are well-informed and they will know what happened immediately afterwards.

The makeup artist looked at her face and said "tsk".

Qiao Zhizheng asked, "Is there any problem?"

The makeup artist said, “No problem.”

Another makeup artist who was sitting idle said, “The biggest problem is not having any problem.”

After the conversation started, the two of them began to explain the situation to her. After all, these things were no secret in the crew.

From their conversation, Qiao Zhizheng learned that the actress who was the main wife was called Du Li, and the actress who was the mistress was called Xia Siran, and that they both had the same "husband" - Lu Huacheng, the boss of Film Pharmaceuticals.

Their triangle relationship is stable but also unstable. Lu Huacheng stuffed his two wives into the same crew to film a movie, and Du Li and Xia Siran couldn't stand each other.

When faced with this kind of "fighting scene", Xia Siran knew that Du Li would not let her go, and urged the director to find one substitute after another.

Du Li beat away one substitute after another.

Du Li always told the director, "If the performance is not good, try again."

The makeup artist responsible for Qiao Zhizheng said, "It's not that she didn't perform well, it's that she didn't hit the person she wanted to hit."

Another makeup artist said, "You don't understand. Although the money is high, the face is so swollen that it won't go down in a few days. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it hurts my face just looking at it. Usually, people who know about this are not willing to come. Did you come here on your own or was someone recommended?"

Qiao Zhizheng said, "Someone introduced me here."

The two makeup artists agreed, "Isn't that person your enemy?"

Qiao Zhizheng forced a smile.

The two makeup artists later asked Qiao Zhizheng what she had said to Du Li, asking Du Li to let her go and take Xia Siran away.

Qiao Zhizheng repeated to them exactly what she had said to the director.

The two looked at each other and said very self-awarely, "Forget it, I still don't want to know. We are both big mouths, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

After saying this, she couldn't help laughing. Qiao Zhizheng was infected by their joy and couldn't help laughing too.

In the end, the three of them exchanged WeChat accounts.

The two makeup artists said to Qiao Zhizheng, "You will definitely be famous!"

Qiao Zhizheng thanked them and limped away.

The most urgent thing is to buy myself a crutch.

After buying herself the cheapest crutch at the pharmacy, Qiao Zhizheng walked home and saw Qiao Zheng sitting cross-legged on the sofa. She couldn't help but cheer, "Sister Zheng!"

Qiao Zheng glanced at her indifferently.

Qiao Zhizheng was not discouraged and happily called her grandmother, "Aunt Grandma!"

Grandma responded with a smile and went to the kitchen to bring her a bowl of sugar water.

The green syrup is filled with mung beans and shredded dried tangerine peel, and a small green mint leaf floats on the syrup.

It looked delicious. Qiao Zhizheng scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth. It was icy and had a hint of sweetness and the fragrance of tangerine peel.

Qiao Zhizheng said politely, "It's delicious!"

Grandma looked at them kindly, her face wrinkles filled with happiness, "I'm glad you like it. I'll make it for you next time."

Qiao Zhizheng said, "Thank you for your hard work, aunt. Please sit down."

Grandma sat down to watch TV, and Qiao Zhizheng's dog sat stealthily next to her.

Qiao Zheng gave her a look that meant "stay away from me."

Qiao Zhizheng didn't understand and sat a little closer.

Qiao Zheng: "Hmph!"

Qiao Zhizheng was confused and moved his butt towards Qiao Zheng again, bringing them closer.

Next to Qiao Zheng was her grandmother who was watching TV. Qiao Zheng was sandwiched between her grandmother and Qiao Zhizheng, and there was no place for her to move even if she wanted to.

Qiao Zheng: “Humph!!”

Qiao Zhizheng's eyes slowly moved to Qiao Zheng's legs.

Qiao Zheng understood what she meant—do you want to come over again? If you do, I'll have to sit on your lap.

Qiao Zheng gritted her teeth and said, "I mean for you to stay away from me."

Qiao Zhizheng nodded and said "oh oh oh oh" and moved her butt to the edge of the sofa.

Qiao Zheng looked at the ceiling with despair, thinking, was I this stupid before?

When Qiao Zheng looked up, she missed the sly smile on Qiao Zhizheng's lips when he lowered his head.

There was enough space between the two of them for one more person to sit, and Qiao Zheng was very satisfied with this.

But I don’t know when it started, but Qiao Zhizheng came over again.

Qiao Zhizheng asked Qiao Zheng, "Sister Zheng, how did you know that there was a little fourth child at Lu Huacheng's house?"

Qiao Zheng: "Humph!!!"

In Qiao Zheng's timeline, she was slapped hard by Du Li, but when she thought of the generous sum of money she had received at that time, Qiao Zheng gritted her teeth and turned the other cheek to Du Li, but Du Li was still not satisfied.

Qiao Zheng continued to slap her, palm after palm. When Du Li was about to slap her for the fourth time, he suddenly reduced the force to let her pass.

After this scene, when they were about to change roles, Du Li looked at her with complicated eyes, "Little girl, have you even given up your dignity just to make money?"

Literally, no "shame".

What did Qiao Zheng say to her? Amazingly, ten years later, she can still clearly recall what she said: "Without this money, I wouldn't even have a place to stay tonight."

Du Li let her go.

Later, I don’t know which idiot found this clip and distorted the facts, saying that Qiao Zheng was a mistress who was hanging out with a rich man and had lost all her dignity in order to get to the top, and she was ready to be beaten by Du Li.

Qiao Zheng still remembers the headline given by the unscrupulous media:

Shocking! The new era mistress and the mistress, a certain Qiao gave the mistress this kind of thing in order to become famous

When Qiao Zheng saw this entertainment news, she was so angry that she laughed. However, she couldn't take the initiative to clarify this kind of thing. If she did, it would mean that she had admitted the matter. If she didn't, everyone would assume that the actress surnamed Qiao in the entertainment news was Qiao Zheng, and that she was the mistress of a wealthy sponsor.

After Qiao Zheng finished playing a stand-in, she came back and took off her makeup in the dressing room. She heard that Du Li and Xia Siran had a fight on the set. She applied ice cubes given by the two makeup artists to her face to reduce the swelling. She was surprised to hear that they had fought.

So there was a little more attention paid to matters related to them, and later news broke that whenever they were filming on the set, Lu Huacheng would bring Xiao Si home for some tenderness.

As we all know, triangles are stable structures, but quadrilaterals are not.

Facing Xiao Si, Du Li and Xia Siran formed a united front, shared the same hatred and went home to deal with Xiao Si.

Fortunately, Du Li was dedicated and only called Xia Siran to go after he finished shooting the "fighting scene" that had been delayed for several days using a substitute.

There was a new message on Qiao Zhizheng’s phone—it was from Tang Lirong.

Qiao Zhizheng opened the dialog box with Tang Lirong with a complicated look.

Tang Lirong: "Zhizhi, is the filming finished?"

Qiao Zhizheng replied expressionlessly: "My face hurts so much QAQ."

Tang Lirong: "I'm sorry, Zhizhi, I just found out about Du Li and Xia Siran."

Qiao Zhizheng: "It's okay, I got the money. Remember to call me next time you have something like this."

Tang Lirong didn't reply, and Qiao Zhizheng thought she was probably angry.

Qiao Zhizheng put down her phone, a look of confusion on her face.

Qiao Zheng saw it and roughly guessed what happened.

I thought to myself – where are we going now?

Dinner is an ordinary home-cooked meal, stir-fried pork belly with chili peppers. The three layers of pork belly are sliced ​​thinly and fried in oil until golden brown. Then the pork belly is taken out of the pan. Oil and garlic are put into the pan, and chili peppers are added to stir-fry until fragrant. The pork belly is poured in, and salt, chicken essence, and light soy sauce are added. Stir-fry and serve.

Braised beef with millet pepper and garlic leaves, stir-fried water spinach, and seaweed egg soup.

It's very homely and gives people a sense of peace and security.

Qiao Zheng smelled the scent at the table and smiled happily.

But she stopped laughing immediately.

Because there was a vegetable salad in front of her, and considering that she was injured, a chicken breast was also added.

Qiao Zhizheng's face was as green as the vegetables in the bowl.

Seeing her unhappy expression, Qiao Zheng felt happy.

"Eat, actress, stay in shape, and join more film crews to earn money."

Qiao Zhizheng ate her special meal for actresses with a pale face.

If she was the only one eating this fat-reducing meal, she wouldn't think anything of it.

But the current situation is that she is eating a fat-reduced meal, while the other two people at the table are eating a combination of meat and vegetables, and they are eating very happily.

Qiao Zhizheng: Tears of envy flowed from the corners of my mouth.

Qiao Zhizheng swallowed a mouthful of vegetable leaves and asked, "Do you really believe that I'll get a role soon?"

Qiao Zheng: "Yeah."

Qiao Zhizheng's eyes, which had been tortured to the point of despair by Cai Yezi, suddenly lit up. "So you think so highly of me!"

Qiao Zheng still said "hmm", but Qiao Zhizheng was very good at imagining things. He saw the word of praise from her expressionless face. His heart suddenly blossomed and he called her sweetly, "Zheng~Sister~"

Qiao Zheng: ...

Qiao Zheng looked at her with an indescribable expression, "Are you sick?"

Qiao Zhizheng knew that she was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, so she said without hesitation, "You are my medicine~"

Qiao Zheng was shocked by her shamelessness.

Qiao Zheng began to think——

Was I so thick-skinned before?

No.

Qiao Zheng became even more convinced that she and Qiao Zhizheng were two different people.

Qiao Zheng: "Hmph!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Qiao Zhizheng still smiled.

Grandma watched them chatting and said with a smile, "Eat quickly, eat quickly."

Qiao Zhizheng felt warm in her heart. It had been... a long time since she had sat down to have a meal with someone.

Qiao Zhizheng took the opportunity to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes while her hair was being fixed.

Qiao Zhizheng thought Qiao Zheng's words of assurance that "there will be a movie to shoot soon" were encouragement to her, but she didn't expect that she would really have a movie to shoot soon.

She went from being a stand-in to being a regular!!!

The cause was that Du Li and Xia Siran went to catch Xiao Si together. Du Li and Xia Siran's family members also came with them. During the process of catching Xiao Si, Du Li's father fell in love with Xia Siran. Xia Siran saw through Lu Huacheng's nature of being fickle and agreed to Du Li's father's pursuit in frustration. As a result, Xia Siran became Du Li's stepmother.

Xia Siran lost the enthusiasm to pull hair flowers while filming with Du Li, so a role was left vacant. With the dual factors of Du Li's suggestion and the director's feeling that Qiao Zhizheng's acting skills were not bad, Qiao Zhizheng, the mediocre actor who was banned by the mediocre director, got a role to play.
