Chapter 58 Part of the Plan

The advertising voting results were out, and the large map was displayed at the entrance of the shopping mall. All other display locations were rented by Shiyi. Suddenly, all the famous shopping malls in City A were full of Fang Xin’s photos.

In addition, there were also display screens outside the mall, all showing Fang Xin's advertisements. At first I thought they had chosen just one advertisement to be placed everywhere, but later I discovered that there were three types, each in a different mall.

A different version of the advertisement is rotated on the display screen every day. Therefore, many fans have mastered the pattern and wait for a new advertisement every day, just waiting to witness the moment when the advertisement is replaced.

As the flow of people into the malls gradually increased, everyone went to the mall to check out their favorite posters, because the voting results were almost the same.

So the advertisers were determined to rent several venues on each plot of land so that Fang Xin's pictures could be released all at once.

Fang Xin was shocked when she received the news. She never expected that an advertiser could be so cruel.

He himself was a little worried that he would not be able to bring good profits to Shiyi, while advertisers were making so much money that they could not even hold their hands.

The popularity of Fang Xin's advertisement on Weibo has only increased, and the new product endorsed by Fang Xin was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves.

Chen Xian told Fang Xin everything he had seen and heard, and Fang Xin was so excited that he jumped up and down at home.

Chen Xian also joked that he didn't look like a superstar at all, and seemed like he didn't even know he was famous.

Fang Xin smiled and said, "I have very few works now, so it's incredible that I can become popular."

"Your work speaks for itself, but your face is rare in the entertainment industry. Besides, do you know what contrast is?"

Fang Xin nodded. He knew what contrast was, but what did this have to do with him?

Seeing that he didn't say much, Chen Xian explained that he didn't understand. She didn't tell Fang Xin either. She just knew that it was good for Fang Xin to be herself the way she was.

The advertisement became popular, and some were happy while others were worried. Likewise, many directors, producers and wealthy businessmen noticed it. If An Mei hadn't stated in the wealthy circle that Fang Xin was a member of her family, it is estimated that many people would have wanted to break the rules.

There are also some people who don't know the consequences and want to give it a try. After all, it's a pleasure to die under a beauty.

Unfortunately, Fang Xin's awareness of defense has improved a lot. After what happened with Wang Shide, he would always be accompanied by a bodyguard or an agent's assistant and would never leave himself alone, which would reduce the chances of someone attacking him.

The producer and director who noticed Fang Xin went out of his way to watch "Thousands of Years" starring Fang Xin. Director Lin, who was recommended by Xu Xu as a candidate, also went out of his way to watch it.

Director Lin's real name is Lin Qinghua. He doesn't like others to force people into his role. The whole circle knows that he is a director with a bad temper and high demands. He brought out Xu Xu to become the best actor, so this time he wanted to try making a movie.

He was very happy to have Xu Xu as his leading man, but Xu Xu recommended two people at once, which naturally made Lin Qinghua unhappy.

Xu Xu made repeated promises and even tried hard to persuade him to keep these two people, one for the protagonist and the other for a supporting role with an important role. At the beginning, there was only one person, which would have been fine, but in the end, he forced him to squeeze in another one.

He was furious at the time and said to Xu Xu, "If they were interested, they wouldn't need you to introduce them! There's no point in leaving the backstage, let them do it themselves!"

Lin Qinghua took a big step back, and Xu Xu immediately understood that it was time for them to come for an interview and demonstrate their abilities.

At first Xu Xu only wanted Lu Ziyan to act with him, but Lu Ziyan rejected him, and then somehow suddenly agreed, on the condition that Fang Xin could also act together.

Xu Xu didn't want to agree, but he was also very interested in Lu Ziyan...

After thinking about it, he decided that it would be safer to keep both of them under his own supervision, so he bravely asked Lin Qinghua for an interview spot. As long as Fang Xin participated, Lu Ziyan would definitely go.

The filming of "Bitter Winter" is nearing completion, and Fang Xin asked Chen Xian to postpone other work.

The most popular person in the crew now is not the two well-known actors and stars Lu Ziyan and Fang Xin, but Chen Mi.

Chen Mi has been making more and more exaggerated changes to the plot in the crew recently, and the screenwriter and director can't do anything about him, and they are so angry that they can't shoot the show well.

Fang Xin was reciting the lines, and when she saw Chen Mi went to see the director again, she knew something was going to happen, and guessed that she would be given more scenes or the plot would be changed.

The plot has been changed again and again, and is no longer developing in the direction the screenwriter wanted.

That day the screenwriter found Chen Mi and wanted to discuss something with her.

"Xiao Mi, look, we can't connect many of these plots in the later stage. Otherwise, why don't you delete the ones you filmed and reshoot them according to the original plot?"

The screenwriter almost flattered her by seeking her approval. Chen Mi sat in front of the dressing mirror and wiped off the makeup she was not satisfied with. After a while, she clapped her hands and said, "Then what I took before was wasted, right?"

The screenwriter tried to please Xiaoxiao, looking a little embarrassed, "But this is a movie after all. If the supporting roles have too many roles, the main character won't stand out..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Mi interrupted him, "But I was also very tired during the filming. So many of my scenes were deleted. How can you justify the investment that Mr. Wang gave you?"

Chen Mi turned her chair around and looked innocent. "Boss Wang has repeatedly told us to be worthy of his investment. If Boss Wang withdraws his investment, it will be difficult for you to get such a large investment from Yuexing Jazz again."

"I'm also thinking about the crew, so please change the plot a little bit. If it doesn't fit, just change it. Otherwise, anyone can get the job of screenwriter, right?"

Chen Mi left the screenwriter in the dressing room and walked out arrogantly, not caring about the colorful face of the screenwriter.

The scene was changed again as Chen Mi's wish, and it was different from what Fang Xin saw at first, and it was even more heartbreaking.

Director Chen was also patient, his expression wasn't great but it didn't look bad either. He waved his hand and asked them to take their positions. Fang Xin nodded and he and Lu Ziyan each found their positions and stood there waiting for the filming to begin.

Before filming, Chen Mi put a small makeup mirror in her pocket to check if her makeup was not perfect.

"Si Jin! Si Jin, wait for me!"

Qi Xiaoyu ran towards Si Jin with a backpack on his back. He ignored Si Jin's struggle and grabbed his arm, "Why don't you wait for me recently? Don't you want to go with me?"

Si Jin was silent. He looked straight ahead and didn't intend to reply. Qi Xiaoyu didn't want to stay silent all the way.

"Do you know what the professor said today? I can't quite remember it. Can you lend me your notes so I can copy them down?"

Still silent, Qi Xiaoyu was unwilling to give up, "What are you thinking about? Why are you ignoring me?"

A young man in a white T-shirt bumped into Si Jin carrying several meals. He apologized hurriedly and squatted down to clean up the mess.

The food was knocked over and messy.

The young man in white squatted on the ground in a daze. He was pushed to the ground and then he remembered that he had bumped into someone.

He forced himself to stand up with his weak arms and legs, bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't look at the road and bumped into you... I can help with clothes and other things..."

"Are you Ke Yun?"

Hearing someone calling his name, Ke Yun subconsciously avoided it. He lowered his head and dared not look up. The familiar voice that he had not heard for a long time made him want to run away.

"No, I'm not. You got the wrong person."

Before Ke Yun could turn around and take the first step, a hand appeared on his arm and held him tightly, "I really didn't! Let go!"

His panic made him speak louder unconsciously. Qi Xiaoyu behind Si Jin didn't pull him, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

"Then why didn't you look at me? If it wasn't you, why did you run?"

Si Jin pulled Ke Yun closer to him. The moment he saw Ke Yun, he felt relieved of all the worries in his heart. The feeling of losing and regaining him made him stare at Ke Yun closely, fearing that it was an illusion.

"Ke Yun, it's you, I knew it was you..."

Si Jin gently held the person in his arms, and the students passing by looked at them curiously.

"Where have you been? I miss you so much..."

Ke Yun remained silent, his entire body gloomy and silent. Si Jin sensed something was wrong and let him out of his arms, "Ke Yun, look at me."

The other person lowered his head and said nothing. If he spoke at this moment, he would not be able to control his tears. He shook his head.

Qi Xiaoyu strode forward, holding Si Jin's arm with one hand and smiling sweetly, "It's Ke Yun, are you studying here too? Why did you bring so much food? Are you running errands for someone?"

Si Jin pulled Qi Xiaoyu's hand away and said, "Leave first. I have something to say to him."

Qi Xiaoyu was reluctant at first, until he saw Si Jin's cold eyes. He thought in his heart that there was still a chance, and it was impossible for Bi Keyun to go to school.

Ke Yun and Si Jin were sitting on a bench on the campus. Ke Yun's phone kept ringing, but he didn't dare to answer it and could only pretend he didn't hear it.

"If you are bullied, you can tell me."

Si Jin looked at Ke Yun from the side, who remained silent. In the south in autumn, even fallen leaves were rare. Ke Yun picked up a rare fallen leaf and placed it in the palm of his hand.

"I was bullied for a long time, but I couldn't tell you."

"I can help you beat them up now."

Ke Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Not now, but in the past."

Si Jin turned his face away, his eyes were confused for a moment. He wanted to try to explain why he left without saying goodbye before, and he also wanted to tell Ke Yun that he was no longer troubled or burdened by this matter, because he felt the same way.

Before he could even open his mouth, Ke Yun handed the fallen leaves in his hand to Si Jin, "Since the result is already like this, why should I still compensate you?"

It was like a stick hitting Si Jin's head hard. He grabbed Ke Yun's hand and didn't let him leave. "I wanted to say the same thing..."

"Do you remember what you did before? It was Qi Xiaoyu who told me about your transfer. I thought we were already good friends."

"You left without saying goodbye, and you put me in a dangerous situation without doing anything. Now I have nothing."

At this point, Ke Yun burst into tears, "It would have been great if you had come to help me at that time."

The leaves rustled, the autumn wind blew gently, and the fallen leaves in Si Jin's hands were blown away, and he was unable to hold them.

After the scene was over, Fang Xin quickly wiped the tears from her face, and Lu Ziyan also stood up and left. The two of them dispersed without saying a word.

Afterwards, Chen Mi stuck to Lu Ziyan just like Qi Xiaoyu, and the two of them went to the dressing room to rest, chatting and laughing.

Fang Xin looked at him from a distance. He looked very lost, and when he left the set, even several staff members who were familiar with him felt sorry for him.

"Why did the two of them end up quarreling when things were going well for them? They were so good before."

"That Chen Mi..." He quickly changed his words. That person was really too annoying. He changed the script and snatched someone else's friend. He did whatever he wanted with the backing of others. He didn't see how arrogant Lu Ziyan and Fang Xin were!"

"Hey, keep your voice down. If someone hears you, Chen Mi will definitely ask Boss Wang to send someone to replace you."

The hot topics in the "Winter" crew were passed back and forth, and everyone heard a different version of the story.
