Chen Yanli: ...
He is also wronged!
Chen Yanli frowned, "At first, her family insisted on putting her in the company, saying that she was very pitiful and as a relative we had to help her. Alas, who knew she would do such a thing behind my back? I have already fired her, luckily it didn't cause the more serious consequences that Xiang Wanning had in mind."
Yu Quezhou glanced at him, because he was too familiar with his work style. Even if he would not let that person pay the price in advance for future events, he would not just ignore it. He was a little skeptical: "Is it that simple to just fire him?"
Chen Yanli coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I'll have him sent abroad to prevent future troubles."
"She's alone?"
"Their whole family."
“…”
Xiang Chisong calmed down a bit after hearing this, but he still disliked him in every way. He sneered, "Don't expect us to have another assistant sent in by relatives."
"No, a man was transferred." Chen Yanli was helpless. He had clearly asked them to come out and find a solution, but the two of them didn't provide a solution, and he was also ridiculed. He could only change the subject and looked at Yu Quezhou: "I heard that a lot of Zhouyou's contracts were also snatched away by Miss Company in Country Z?"
Hearing this, Yu Quezhou laughed disdainfully and said, "He is only worthy of snatching what I don't want, but since we are talking about this matter..."
He took out a document written in English from his bag and handed it over: "The drug developed by Miss's company is quite interesting."
"What medicine?" Shen Yanli took the information and handed it to Xiang Chisong beside him.
"Hmm..." Yu Quezhou touched his chin, as if trying to find an adjective that could accurately describe it: "It's a drug that develops brain potential and repairs nerves. It's said that it can turn a demented person into a genius in an instant."
He felt that this medicine gave him a sense of familiarity for no reason. Yu Quezhou frowned for no apparent reason, then suppressed his emotion and said to them faintly, "If this medicine is given to Xiang Zhinian, can she make a holographic system faster?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately received sinister looks from the two men.
Said to Chisong: "Dream on your dream."
Shen Yanli said: "Don't even think about it."
Yu Quezhou knew that they were afraid of side effects and shook his head regretfully.
"So you still haven't told me what to do." Chen Yan said, "It's okay for Xiang Chisong, but I can't even see the other two when I go to the crew now."
Xiang Chisong sneered: "You deserve it!"
Hearing Chen Yanli's slightly resentful tone, Yu Quezhou was surprised and said: "Xiang Zhinian is your fiancée, and you don't know how to coax her?"
Thinking of all the coincidences that had happened before, Chen Yanli couldn't help but sigh again. He felt that it was really unnecessary for him to ask the two of them, so he decided to rely on himself to move people with his sincerity.
Finally he asked, "What about Xiang Wanning? She cursed me so badly in her heart."
Xiang Chisong said again: "You deserve it!"
Shen Yanli glanced at him: "Are you a repeater?"
Yu Quezhou suddenly thought of the time he spent with her at A-Movie. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Just treat her to a meal."
Shen Yanli was a little skeptical: "Will this trick really work on her?"
…
【Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Drunken Spare Ribs, Lychee Meat! 】
【Dongpo pork, stuffed eggplant, and crab meat with lion's head! 】
[Oh my god, I've been in the crew for so long, I almost forgot what they smell like! ]
[Wow, I'm so touched. Chen Yanli treated me to a meal. What bad intentions could he have? It's better than someone treating me to a meal at A-movie's cafeteria, right?! ]
Chen Yanli listened to her thoughts and confirmed that this trick really worked on her.
He tried to divert Xiang Wanning's attention, thinking carefully about the topic in his mind, like an elder who cares about his children: "Hey, has anything happened in your crew recently? How is work going?"
Xiang Wan Ning was just reaching out to pick up some food. When she heard this, she seemed to be weighing the pros and cons of eating or working. She finally hesitated and picked up a piece of food for him with her chopsticks. She pinched her throat and said, "Brother Yanli, why are you asking me about work during dinner time? Do you want to ask me about Sister Zhi Nian?"
[She is doing fine, just like a model soldier, the first one to go on stage and the last one to leave]
[You even asked me out here and asked me in a roundabout way, "Can you come to visit me more often?" I'm speechless. What's the point of being busy at your company every day? ]
[Okay, when your secretary kills your wife, I wonder if you can still smile!]
Chen Yanli, who was criticized by Xiang Wanning's teacher:...
"It's your sister's birthday soon, and I wanted to ask what you girls generally like?"
Xiang Wan Ning took a bite of the food and immediately pouted unhappily, staring at him intently: "My birthday is coming soon, brother Yan Li is only thinking about a gift for me?"
She thought of the plot, looked at the meat in her bowl with some reluctance, and stood up and walked towards him, pointing her finger at his chest: "Brother Yanli, why can you only see my sister?"
[Scold me, scold me! ]
【The story is finally over! 】
【I want to eat meat!!】
Chen Yanli: ...
No, her eyes were full of affection as she looked at the meat. If you didn't know, you would think she was confessing her love to the food! Did the crew lack food for her? How could she be so greedy? !
Seeing that she had swallowed three times, he had no choice but to cooperate: "I am your brother-in-law, of course I can only see your sister! I advise you not to have any feelings for me..."
Chen Yanli met her distracted gaze and forced himself to finish the following sentence: "...thoughts that shouldn't be there."
After hearing what he said, Xiang Wanning lowered her head, shrugged her shoulders, and looked heartbroken.
But Shen Yanli knew that she was not as sad as she looked.
Because at this moment her inner voice was driving her away:
[It’s over, it’s over, the story is over! ]
[The plot says "Chen Yanli angrily flicked his sleeves and left", flick them quickly! ]
[Hahaha, this table is all mine! ]
Chen Yanli: ...
No, he paid for it, but he wasn’t even given a bite to eat?
If you can eat it, it’s all yours.
* Xiang Wanning came back that day holding on to the wall. She felt stomach discomfort that night and only after taking painkillers did she feel slightly relieved.
There’s no way, it’s so delicious.
What's wrong with the food? I can only blame my stomach! She looked at her remaining few scenes and began to be keen on causing trouble for the crew so that she could get off the air as soon as possible.
The lunch boxes provided by the crew were too bad, so she bought new lunch boxes according to her own taste at her own expense, and then humiliated the person who originally delivered the lunch boxes to them: "You can't even see a piece of meat, your level is just like this."
After hearing that a lot of gossip was spread about her when she went to see An Yu, Xiang Wan Ning moved a stool to sit outside the extras room and hired actors with few roles and who had already finished filming to tell gossip about the people inside at the top of their voices: "What? The actress who plays Aunt Zhang and the eunuch are in love? Oh, I heard that the actor who plays the eunuch is already married and cheated on his wife!"
All this was not enough. Suddenly a mouse jumped out of her room. When she ran to the director to change rooms but was laughed at by Mu Yuli, Xiang Wanning immediately dragged Mu Yuli and the director to her room and listened to the mouse grinding its teeth all night. The next day, the director even moved her room, and Mu Yuli would avoid Xiang Wanning from then on.
When Xiang Zhinian found out about these things, he was afraid that Xiang Wanning would be put in a sack and beaten up on the street, so he insisted on asking the director for another investment.
The director smiled reluctantly: "Are these compensations for mental damages?"
"No." Xiang Zhinian said, "This is her golden ticket to avoid death."
The director was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt that with this living ancestor around, his crew's future was in jeopardy, but he really couldn't refuse an additional 100 million yuan investment, so he rubbed his hands and tried to bargain: "She has broken five of my vases in three days. I'm afraid 100 million yuan is not enough for her to make... Can you add a little more?"
Xiang Zhinian saw his temptation and smiled: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
One hundred million can buy out the director! The director immediately accepted the card without saying another word.
Since that day, Xiang Wanning found that everyone looked at her differently when she was messing around on the set. When she accidentally broke a flower pot again, the staff next to her even asked her, "Did you hurt your hand?"
Xiang Wanning: ...
It's over, she thought, they were all mad at her.
Feeling that she had almost reached the end of the story, Xiang Wanning immediately decided to stop.
Don't make them angry to the point of causing harm.
* The weather was sunny and the sun was scorching during the recent filming.
Xiang Wan Ning had too many scenes, and had to wear heavy winter clothes that were out of season, so she gave most of the scenes to An Yu, and she herself lay on a lounge chair, the only thing missing was wearing sunglasses and holding a coconut to sunbathe. Others were here to work, but she was alone, like on vacation.
Xiang Zhinian couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he came over to persuade her, "If you want to stay in the entertainment industry for a long time, you have to endure these hardships. Otherwise, why would you want to film a movie?"
[It’s a pity that I can’t do it anymore] Xiang Wan Ning thought to herself: [No one can escape the power of the plot. Since I know that I’m facing a deathly ending, I just need to make myself happy during the process~]
An inevitable death?
Xiang Zhinian's eyelids jumped, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, but she also had the confidence of "Xiang Zhinian" and was not afraid that she would find out whether she could hear the other person's voice, so she quickly promised her: "With me here, no one can harm you."
Xiang Wanning looked at her suspiciously. Before she could even answer her first question, she had already started to say this to Zhinian in her mind: [Huh? What is she talking about? But she is the one who hurt me.]
[Although I do not approve of what Xiang Wanning did, the Xiang family and her original family are the source of all Xiang Wanning’s pain]
[But Xiang Zhinian doesn't know her true identity yet, right? Her last seven brothers are going to come back to teach me a lesson. I hope Xiang Zhinian can let her seven brothers go easy on me because I failed to do evil.]
Before Xiang Zhinian had time to feel the frustration of "she doesn't believe me", she suddenly remembered: I almost forgot, she is the heroine and Xiang Wanning is the villain, and the relationship between the two in the plot is destined to be incompatible.
She understood the reason, but what the hell were those seven brothers? ! What kind of outrageous plot was this arranged for her? !
She was so lost in thought that she had forgotten what she had said to Xiang Wanning. Her mind was full of "seven brothers" and she was ready to go back and check it out herself.
Xiang Zhinian didn't believe that there were such absurd things in this world.
Just when Xiang Zhinian was doubting her life, Xiang Wanning saw that she seemed to be thinking about something. She touched her chin, glanced at An Yu who was about to leave the show, and waved for her to come over.
[Isn’t An Yu a fan of Xiang Zhinian? She will play my role later, why not let them bond a little bit]
[Oh, when it's my turn to play opposite Xiang Zhinian, I'll let An Yu take my place~ How considerate of me! It'll be convenient for you to remove me later! ]
[I haven't bullied her yet today, so I'll call her over to give her a lecture, and then I'll try to get me off work early! ]
Xiang Zhinian: ...
How could that be called bullying? She gave others an extra 200,000 yuan, and now the extras in the crew are very jealous. The news that Xiang Wanning is stupid and rich has long been spread all over the world.
Moreover, An Yu almost replaced most of her shots. He learned from the director and the other leading actors, all with rosy faces and a proud look. Who knows how he thanked her in his heart!
She looked at Xiang Wanning with a complicated expression, thinking of how she helped improve the food while saying that the crew's food was so good that even animals wouldn't eat it. She even met a staff member who was bragging to her friends before, saying that she was supported by her husband and gave her a thousand yuan pocket money a month, and Xiang Wanning sneered and mocked her.
...Then I gave her 100,000 yuan so that she could get her eyes treated.
The key point is that she happened to pass by that day and heard Xiang Wanning's thoughts:
[Very good, I am mocking her love like this, she must hate me in her heart, right? Plus the way I throw money, the word "nouveau riche" is perfectly engraved on her forehead! ]
[She must have been humiliated, and must have hated me to death, and then silently said: Who wants your money! ]
Xiang Zhinian watched her go away, and then stared at the staff member next to her, whose mouth was harder to suppress than AK. When the staff member saw her and greeted her, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hahaha, hello sister Chinen, hahaha, I'm going to break up with my boyfriend when I get back, hahaha."
"Sister Wan Ning was right to scold me. I will go to the hospital to check my eyes after get off work. Hahahaha, Sister Wan Ning is so nice. If anyone scolds her in the future, I will be the first to disagree!"
She thought about the comments that had been going on online for the past two days and felt that the tasker was a bit stupid. She couldn't help but reach out and touch her head lovingly. She no longer suggested that she work hard and just said, "It's okay, go have fun."
Xiang Wanning got goosebumps all over her body from her loving gaze. Before she could say anything, she heard a clear voice reaching her ears.
"Sister Wan Ning!"
The moment An Yu waved to Wan Ning, he quickly ran over, his eyes shining as he shouted to her, "Sister Wan Ning! The director said I've improved again this time, and my expression is very natural. It won't look out of place when I replace my face with yours!"
After she finished popping bubbles like a fish, she greeted me in a reserved manner: "...Hello, Sister Chinen."
Xiang Zhinian: ...
She suddenly felt as if she was redundant.
Besides, how could An Yu look like he liked her at all? !
Xiang Zhinian began to wonder what was written on the script she had.
Xiang Wanning didn't think so. Seeing that An Yu didn't respond for a long time, she muttered a few words in her heart, looking suspicious: "Don't you like Xiang Zhinian? Recently, you have been talking about getting an autograph from your idol. Isn't this person right in front of you?"
"Of course I admire Sister Chinen too... but I'm not her fan." An Yu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said shyly, "Well, since Sister Wan Ning also mentioned it, can Sister Wan Ning sign an autograph for me?"
Xiang Wanning:?
She pointed at herself in confusion: "Me?"
An Yu immediately took off her outer costume, revealing her pure white T-shirt, handed her a black pen, and pointed to her chest excitedly: "Can you sign here?"
Xiang Wanning: ...
The next day, An Yu took a photo of the white T-shirt signed by Xiang Wanning and posted it on Weibo to show off, with the caption: Hehe, another day of being pampered by Sister Wanning!
After seeing this message, Xiang Zhinian thought about Xiang Wanning, who was always addicted to games and didn't read Weibo, sighed, and clicked "like" on this Weibo post.
She wanted to see when Xiang Wanning would find out.
Although she knew that Xiang Wanning would find out sooner or later, she didn't expect that day would come so late.
——Xiang Wanning was desperate to find that she couldn't log off in the days before she was about to log off! It was like a student in college who worked hard to finish a paper, but found that what she wrote was completely off topic when it came to the final submission time! She collapsed!
Why did someone greet her every morning when she woke up, and even call her Sister Wan Ning? She didn't even know these people!
Why do many extras come to the scene with scripts, saying things like "I hope to learn something from Sister Wan Ning", "I hope Sister Wan Ning can give me a chance"... No, what can they learn from her? Why did she try so hard to spread rumors about Xiang Zhinian, and it did work, people were pointing fingers at her wherever she went... But why are the rumors "How did Sister Zhinian offend Xiang Wan Ning again?", "Did you steal a few elbows from her yesterday?", "Wow, she's so vindictive!"? ! Seeing that the countdown to her offline was about to end, Xiang Wan Ning was afraid that she would not be able to log off and disrupt the plot, so she walked around the room anxiously, and finally prepared to use her specialty again... to lead the rhythm on Weibo.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she opened Weibo, she would be flooded with information.
——Her fans have increased to 30 million! ——Her latest Weibo post was full of comments urging her to post selfies. When I scrolled the mouse, I didn’t see a single negative message!
——She was actually named "One of the Most Touching People in the Entertainment Industry"! When Xiang Wanning saw the last comment, her eyes went dark. Who on earth made this comment? !
She clicked on the link below, and the video suddenly started playing, revealing Mu Qinghe's unmade-up face in front of the camera.
She smiled at the camera, then took the microphone and began to say, "Hello everyone, I am Mu Qinghe, a reporter from Cherry Platform!"
"Everyone knows that I have come to the filming crew of "Remembering Linglong". The video of the interview at the previous opening ceremony is still impressive. But during the days I stayed in the crew, I also heard rumors about a certain actor and found that many things were not what we thought, so I decided to use this topic to make another video!"
Xiang Wanning had a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, when Mu Qinghe turned around with a smile and handed the microphone to the person sitting behind him, Xiang Wanning looked at An Yu's smiling face and couldn't help but pinch her own philtrum.
"Hello An Yu, how did you and Xiang Wan Ning know each other?"
An Yu took the microphone with a nostalgic look on his face: "Well... we were in the same company, under the same agent, and even had adjacent dormitories. Logically, I should have known her a long time ago, but in fact, I didn't, because I was really not liked by the agent."
Mu Qinghe asked a little question: "Are you jealous of Xiang Wanning?"
"In the beginning, it was true. I even had plastic surgery to look like Sister Wan Ning, but the doctor I met was not very skilled." An Yu frankly admitted that she had had plastic surgery. Even though she knew she might be scolded for speaking out, she still sincerely told everyone about that past experience.
"I only knew her for one day." An Yu recounted his encounter with Xiang Wanning on the rooftop, and said jokingly, "It's a pity that I met such a bad girl. She forgot about me the next day."
穆清禾发出善意的哄笑,言辞犀利:“那你觉得,向晚柠是个什么样的人?”
安屿在这个话题上思考的时间明显长了点,她带着无奈的语气开口:“我成绩不好,不知道该怎么形容她,只能说上一句:她真的是个很好很好的人。”
向晚柠看着这句话一落,弹幕上顿时一片唏嘘。
【呃,她是不是看向晚柠被认回向家开始舔了?强舔灰飞烟灭啊阿sir!】
【向晚柠到底给了她们多少钱?能不能分我一点,我也能夸】
【即使向晚柠不符合网上夸张的诋毁,但也跟好沾不上边吧?到现在我还没感受出来她哪里好了】
“虽然她看上去娇纵,实际上她是特别能吃苦的一个人。你们说她脾气不好,耍大牌,可能只是因为她想在节目上多带几个艺人露面。”安屿说:“我的经纪人没有给过我资源,是她将我带上了综艺,让我能被大家看见!即使这个时候她已经忘了,我们之前曾经在天台上见过一面。”
她并没有这么伟大,向晚柠想,她只是想让她们衬托自己的恶毒罢了。
“公司对我们这些底层艺人并不好,我们的工资很低,那三千块钱中,有一千块是从她工资里划出来的。”安屿眸光温和:“要不是这次进组碰到知念姐,她的工作室收购了我们的前公司,在见到我时随口跟我聊了聊,我到现在还不知道这件事,她也从没宣扬过。”
因为她觉得这公司不是东西、这经纪人也不是东西。反正“向晚柠”的这些钱她在任务完成后也带不走,不如给补助一下同公司的艺人,就当给他们的精神损失费了……谁知道他们后面会不会被她拉来当陪衬?怪可怜的。
“她的武功超级好,会在街上帮人赶跑流氓。”
……这也是因为她想出气这臭流氓刚好赶着了!救命啊,她真的没安屿形容得这么高尚! “所以到了后面,我是真心实意的祝福她。我爱叫她晚柠姐,她就是我的偶像,教会了我很多。”
穆清禾适时发问:“教会了你什么呢?”
“嗯……”安屿仔细思索了一番,笑着说:“第一,不要用别人的错误惩罚自己,即使做过错误的选择,也能修正后向前。”
“第二,与其听信网络上的流言蜚语,倒不如眼见为实。”
“第三,不要看一个人说了什么,要看她做了什么。晚柠姐就是这样刀子嘴豆腐心的人,即使大家说她蛮横无理,但她的实际行动却告诉我她是一个温柔的人。”
弹幕纷纷留言:
【这、这他妈是向晚柠?】
【妈妈,太阳从西边升起来了!】
【安屿说得好像挺真诚的,就冲她这个态度,我也愿意相信她!】
【她这不也是一片之词吗?无语,安屿也不是啥好人吧,怎么有人相信她说的话?】
“好的,感谢安屿接受我们的采访。”
随着穆清禾这句话落,镜头一转,画面右上角标注的时间证明离之前的采访已经过去一周。
“我知道大家肯定都对安屿的话有所怀疑,我也是。”穆清禾说:“所以我们悄悄去采访一下群演、工作人员,看看他们对向晚柠的评价怎么样。”
她先是来到了群演房间,简单的说明来意后,就看见大家七嘴八舌道:
“晚柠姐啊?晚柠姐可随和了,天天来我们这看我们!”
——不是,她是来找你们的茬啊! “是啊是啊,她还自己花钱给我们盒饭都换了菜色!现在的盒饭可好吃了!”
——那是她自己吃不下去!
“你瞧你瞧!”有群演朝镜头面前展示出了自己正在吃的盒饭:“两荤两素两汤,都很好吃,我们去其他剧组哪有这个待遇啊!”
看见他们脸上愉悦满足的笑,弹幕的风向瞬间变了:
【之前说演戏的人出来,难不成这么多人都在演戏?】
【向晚柠的粉丝举手,我之前看综艺的时候就觉得她这个人和她捏造的人设很违和,觉得她不是这样的人,瞧瞧!我就知道我没粉错人!】
【不就是一顿饭吗?瞧把你们嘚瑟的,她都回向家了,难道缺这点钱?】
【我对向晚柠确实改观了不少,这人是踏实做实事的,有点脾气了?那些说“不就是一顿饭吗在这里催什么催”的人,你们不知道底层的辛苦是吧?】
穆清禾礼貌道谢,随后走出了房间,里面还能听见那些人叽叽喳喳的声音传出。
“你们这群没文化的,竟然有人说晚柠姐能吃,有这么夸人的吗?我真的无语。”
“这也没让我们提前有个准备啊,我连字典都来不及翻!”
穆清禾听见声音后笑了笑,俏皮的朝镜头前眨眼:“他们可给我证明了一件事,这不是我提前找好的演员喔!”
她在回去的路上,时不时的还揪住路过的工作人员,朝她询问向晚柠的事。
“嗯?你问向晚柠的脾气是不是不太好?这个要看具体情况,一般来说挺好的,除了极个别现象。”
穆清禾好奇:“那特殊情况是什么情况?”
“你把她肘子抢了,那知念姐之前抢过一次,被向晚柠在剧组上下骂了个遍。”
又遇到一个人,穆清禾在拦住她后进行了采访:
“啊?你说向晚柠好不好相处?挺好的,除了极个别情况,比如她的房间出现了老鼠,去找导演发现他们在嘲笑她的时候。”
“……”
穆清禾采访完,神清气爽的准备回去,却在路上遇见了杀出来的一名工作人员。
她一抬头,向晚柠就认出了对方是自己之前甩钱羞辱的人。
那人搓了搓手:“听说这里在采访大家对向晚柠的印象,这种事怎么能没有我呢?!我立马跑过来了,我愿意为大小姐肝脑涂地!”
向晚柠:……
她再也看不下去这个视频,点开了评论区,看见令人眼花缭乱的赞美声,即便不会,她也忍不住想点上一根烟抽抽。
向晚柠想,她似乎要完蛋了。
出道多年,人设通稿数不胜数,一转眼倾家荡产,什么也没捞到。
与她同样崩溃的人还有向知念。
在黑进国外的系统后,向知念在暗网找了很久,竟然真的让她在Z国的DNA库里,查到了她亲人的信息!
她的亲生父亲是Z国公爵,亲生母亲是Z国的医学研究者,令她眼前一黑的是……她真的有七个哥哥! 这不对劲。
在短暂的绝望后,向知念忽然发现了一个问题: 如果她真的是他们的孩子,那她是怎么走丢到华国的?
就算她真的出了意外,走丢了,但又为什么能精准的和向晚柠互换身份?!
屏幕前的一串串代码就像是跳跃的血色字符,令她不可避免的心慌起来,向知念仔细看去,资料上的人有着一双黑蓝色的眼睛,嘴角微微上扬,恍然一瞥就令人心惊。
向知念越想心里就越凉,好似无意中窥见了一丝惊天阴谋,令她双眸冷竖,身体紧绷。
滴——
电脑发出了刺耳的警报声,屏幕上忽然出现了“mistake”的大字,还没等向知念反应过来,紧接着,屏幕上她刚收集到的资料忽然消失。
电脑在这时发出提醒: “警报!有人攻击了你的防火墙!”
“警报!有人攻击了你的系统!”
“警报!有人正在查阅你的资料!”
老婆们,我成功更新!!! (瘫倒)(倒头就睡)(呜呜大哭)(发出再也不加更了的怒吼!) 于总的戏份应该会在三万字后多起来(掐指一算)(连蒙带猜) 有没有老婆猜到了于阙舟的真实身份?之前出现过一瞬间的!猜对了加更!(得意笑)(不可能猜到) 晚安!!!(话虽然这么说,但我开始躺床上刷抖音了)
