The protagonist crossed over unexpectedly, the system was dumbfounded, and the protagonist was confused. One system exists to survive and live more comfortably, while the other tries to avoid havin...
Upon hearing the offer, Tongtong was surprised. Yezi said three rooms would cost 30 million, but now someone is offering 30 million for just two.
“This is my fiancé’s engagement ring, I can’t sell it,” Tongtong refused decisively.
"A marriage proposal? With a thumb ring? And a Qin Dynasty thumb ring at that? What was he thinking?" Old Li said indignantly.
This time it was Tongtong's turn to be surprised, and she immediately asked:
Is there any reason behind this?
"No, it's just that using such a treasure for a marriage proposal is a bit of a waste."
Tongtong breathed a sigh of relief, not saying anything, but her face immediately darkened. How could it be such a waste of talent? Ye Zi was willing to use such an expensive gift to propose, which meant he valued her.
Old Feng laughed and said:
"There's also a hairpin, making it a three-piece set. Give me a price."
"Sixty million, no, sixty-five million." Old Li thought things had taken a turn for the better and immediately made his offer.
Before Tongtong could refuse, Lao Feng continued:
"Come on, they don't need your money. I just want to know how much this thing is worth."
Now it was Old Li's turn to be surprised, and he casually asked:
"Who is it that's so rich?"
"You wouldn't recognize it even if I told you. It's a token of their love, and they would never sell it."
Tongtong nodded in agreement, then put on her earrings and thumb ring.
"Well, I thought I had a chance to get this treasure."
"I just wanted to show you some treasures and broaden your horizons, so you wouldn't keep saying I don't have anything good."
Old Li rolled his eyes again and continued to mock:
"You're talking like this treasure is yours."
Old Feng didn't mind and casually said:
"This belongs to Qin, do you have it?"
"I don't have it, but it's not yours either. What are you showing off for? You'll still have to borrow it from me, won't you?"
Old Feng remained unconcerned and casually remarked:
"At least I don't have to treat the things you send me like treasures anymore."
"Tch, those are things someone else uses for their wedding, and because you're filming, they're being put on another woman's hands. How could you come up with such a terrible idea?"
Old Feng was dumbfounded on the spot.
In period dramas, a set of precious jewelry is seen as a symbol of the transfer of power.
Tongtong is the second female lead, but this set of jewelry is something the first female lead often wears. Would Tongtong agree to this?
Old Feng looked at Tongtong, but before he could ask, Tongtong began to shake her head.
She had read the script and knew the plot, but she thought it was just a prop. She didn't expect Lao Feng to go so far as to use real antiques in the film.
Tongtong wore the thumb ring and earrings primarily because Yezi had personally put them on her, and since they were for her wedding, she didn't want to take them off.
The second reason is that it's a period drama, so it's reasonable for such antiques to appear.
I never expected that Lao Feng would actually set his sights on these two items. This is absolutely unacceptable. It's fine for Lao Li to appraise them, but no other woman can wear them, not even touch them.
Old Feng immediately fell into deep thought. There were only two options: one was to continue using the jewelry that Old Li had given him, and the other was to change his role.
Before, there was no other way but to use what Lao Li sent. Now that the real treasure is right in front of us, it would be really hard not to use it.
Tongtong could tell that Lao Feng was thinking, and fearing that he was trying to fool her, she immediately suggested that she go pack her things to study the script.
After Tongtong left, Old Feng said:
"That bastard, why did he have to propose now of all times, and with this damn treasure?"
Old Li also became interested and continued to ask:
"Who exactly is Tongtong's fiancé? How can someone be so lucky? I've never heard of such a person in our circle."
Old Feng said irritably:
"He's not in your circle. He's just starting out in the entertainment industry, but he won't be appearing again."
"Not in the art collecting world, nor in the entertainment industry, so he must be a rich second-generation? Whose family is he?"
"The shepherd is not a rich kid."
"Are shepherds all this rich now? No, I know a few ranch owners too, whose are they?"
Old Feng glared at Old Li, then whispered:
"gate of hell."
Old Li was stunned for a moment, then said with a look of shock:
"Someone who narrowly escaped death?"
Old Feng nodded.
"This girl is really lucky."
"Who can argue with that?"
"Then you won't be so easy to fool."
"Nonsense, I wouldn't dare to lie. When the new drama airs, my fiancé will definitely support it. If the things he gave to his fiancée end up on another woman, it would be a miracle if that guy let me off the hook."
I still want to work in China in the future.
Old Li chuckled mischievously a few times, then slowly sipped his tea.
After thinking for a while, Lao Feng finally decided to communicate with the female lead.
The female lead isn't having an easy time either. She shares a similar thought with Tongtong: she originally thought the filming was just using props, but she didn't expect Lao Feng to actually do it.
Old Li explained to her just how valuable the jewelry was, making her regret taking the role.
It's not that I can't afford to pay for the jewelry, but that I don't dare to offend Old Li.
Old Li doesn't act much anymore, but he still holds a high position in the entertainment industry. If he accidentally damages his precious collection, who would dare to hire him for acting roles in the future?
This is filming, and damaging props is a common occurrence. Otherwise, why would a film crew have a dedicated props team? Putting something on or taking it off can be a disaster if you're not careful.
Wearing it without taking it off can also lead to disaster if you're not careful.
But now that the contract has been signed, all preparations are in place, and the actors have almost all arrived, going back on our word at this point won't offend Lao Li, but it will offend Lao Feng.
When Lao Feng arrived, he said he had found even more valuable jewelry, worth far more than the set Lao Li had lent to the film crew, amounting to 65 million.
This price is more than half of her net worth, which made her even more panicked. Anyone who has such a treasure is a top star, or at least a top star in other circles, even if they are not in the entertainment industry.
I could only bite the bullet and say:
"Director, could we use the same props during filming? These are such expensive items, it's too much of a burden."
"Making the same props takes time, and the filming date has already been set, there's no time."
The actress said with a mournful face:
"Can I get a different role? This one is too stressful, it's distracting."
Old Feng thought for a moment and said:
"Alright, I'll go and fool Tongtong a bit, you two switch roles."
"Thank you, thank you so much."
"Um."
Old Feng threw down a single word, got up, and left.
The actress breathed a sigh of relief after Lao Feng left, finally no longer having to risk offending the big boss while filming.
Old Feng found Tongtong and directly stated that the second female lead had become the female lead, but the last jade hairpin needed to be delivered as soon as possible, and at the same time, it was important to keep the fact that these three treasures belonged to her a secret.
Tongtong nodded, looking completely bewildered. Just because of three pieces of jewelry, she went from being the second female lead to the female lead.
But no matter what, the female lead will definitely have more screen time than the second female lead, that's for sure.
Without waiting for anything else, she immediately called her mother and Wang Baozhang, asking Wang Baozhang to pick up the items and deliver them to the film set. Tongtong was worried about the others, so she could only trouble Wang Baozhang.
