Chapter 64
In the entertainment industry, everyone has personal connections.
Duan Tianrui thought that it was already humiliating enough for him to be pushed off the stage by Ling Suisui with a powder puff, and that he and the other party were "clear".
But he never expected that after the recording of this episode of Speed Forward was completed, the revenge waiting for him was still to come.
He was already facing the embarrassing situation of having his resources downgraded after the drama he starred in flopped, and under this circumstance, several groups of people suddenly came up to add insult to injury, making his situation even worse.
In fact, according to Duan Tianrui's original idea, if his plan to scam people succeeded, even if it would offend these four people, at least he would have real popularity and traffic, and other capitals would want to take advantage of him.
After all, in the entertainment industry where there are many factions, even Tang Bing cannot cover the whole world with one hand.
But the most embarrassing thing now is that people were offended by him, but he didn’t get any attention, and his plan to use them as blood bags completely failed.
Duan Tianrui thought that this situation would only last for a while and that he would have a chance to make a comeback, but the attitude of his agent and the company towards him changed significantly.
He panicked. Could it be that those who were targeting him were serious?
Duan Tianrui found it difficult to understand. Wasn't it really that serious? Wasn't he just making a few jokes? We are all respectable people in the entertainment industry. Don’t you know how to give each other a way out so that we can meet again in the future?
Moreover, it would be fine if these four people and the Jin Bang crew chased him and beat him, but why did Ying Nian also get involved, and it was obvious that he wanted to break up with him, leaving no room for him at all? !
Although it was humiliating to say it, Duan Tianrui knew in his heart that although he and Ying Nian were rivals on the surface, Ying Nian simply didn't bother to pay attention to him.
A resourceful person like Ying Nian, who has a good background and status, would not snatch things from him. The so-called "fighting for the cake" back then was not between Yingnian and him. That project was originally Yingnian's, and it was Duan Tianrui who failed.
But it’s different now - no matter it’s a film or TV series, variety show, magazine, business, etc., as long as Duan Tianrui is talking about it, Yingnian’s team will get involved to grab it. They are simply precisely sniping all the jobs that he likes, forcing him to accept the landslide downgrade of resources.
Others may have a chance if they stay out of the limelight and keep quiet for a while, but Duan Tianrui can’t, he is over 30 years old!
Duan Tianrui asked Ying Nian online: [What do you want? I haven't offended you, have I? ! ]
Yingnian: [Go away, I’m not interested in hearing your barking]
Duan Tianrui sent another message, and a red exclamation mark popped up on the chat page. Ying Nian blocked him.
Duan Tianrui was so angry that he threw his phone to the ground. The shattered screen reflected his ugly face of helplessness and rage.
Among the group of people targeting Duan Tianrui, Ying Nian's attack was indeed the most severe.
On the one hand, he had been tied up like a blood bag by the other party before, and he had been unhappy about it for a long time; on the other hand, Yingnian was very angry about Duan Tianrui's rumor-mongering against Ling Suisui.
Ling Suisui is the person he likes, and her position in his heart is no less than Qin Xian's in Zhao Yan's heart. So what's wrong with him standing up for himself and her?
If someone like Duan Tianrui doesn't take his life while he's sick, does he have to keep him alive until the New Year?
Ling Sui also knew about this; Xia Tian told her about it.
During this process, Xia Tian also contributed a lot, and Ling Suisui has already thanked her.
At Ji Zhaoying's birthday party, Ling Suisui met Yingnian and thanked him.
The party was held in a private bar. The dance floor was packed with people, and Ji Zhaoying was dancing happily in the center.
Ling Suisui and Yingnian were sitting at the bar, and she raised her glass to toast him.
"I heard everything. Thank you."
She wanted to thank him not only for his attack on Duan Tianrui, but also for his actions that helped her unlock new achievements, "a man will risk his life for the beauty he loves."
Although Ling Suisui has never liked the names of the system's achievements, as long as he can get the number of spins, nothing else matters.
Ying Nian bumped into her: "I have been unhappy with him for a long time. It was nothing when he came at me before, but bullying a girl is nothing. As a man, I despise him."
"Fortunately, you were quick to react and spoke eloquently, so you didn't suffer any loss at his hands."
Thinking of this, Ying Nian still hated Duan Tianrui.
In other words, Ling Sui has a strong mentality and will not be easily pua by others. If her psychological defenses were a little weaker, how devastated and helpless would she have felt at that time?
Ling Sui smiled. Not only did she not suffer any verbal loss, she also abused the other party both physically and mentally.
"Thank you so much." Ling Suisui accepted his favor. "That guy is in trouble. I feel refreshed."
Moreover - the worse Duan Tianrui's situation is, the lower the probability that he will retaliate against her in the future.
It's not a question of whether he wants to, but whether he can do it.
Ying Nian: "In fact, my side is so smooth, and there are people who are secretly helping me. After all, he has offended too many people over the years."
The artists who have been offended by Duan Tianrui over the years may not dare to make any open counterattacks due to his popularity and company, but it is very likely that he is holding a grudge and is waiting to take advantage of them at the critical moment.
If there are enough ants, they can kill an elephant.
The two exchanged knowing glances and clinked their glasses with a smile.
After drinking half a glass of wine, Ying Nian said to her, "He will go crazy and bite you because of me. You are implicated by me."
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Ling Suisui was a little puzzled. "You don't have to take his mistakes on yourself. You're not that kind of person."
Ying Nian was silent for a moment, then looked away with some guilt.
"I failed to protect you... I feel bad."
Ling Suisui: ...
Buddy, if you're drunk after drinking this little, don't stay here, go home and get some sleep.
She said frankly: "I am an independent adult and I don't need my friends to be responsible for my life."
"I am very touched that you helped me to fight his arrogance, because I know that you regard me as a true friend. I will definitely always remember this friendship, but I will not think that it is your obligation, otherwise I will go too far."
In Ling Sui's heart, since these boys liked her, it was their own business and had nothing to do with her, so their kindness to her would be favors that she would have to repay in the future.
Give and take, this is the way to get along long-term.
Ying Nian turned her words around in his mind for a few times before he understood what she meant.
She said it so nicely, but her core meaning was that she wanted to end the ambiguous relationship with him and clarify the boundaries of their relationship.
——She is not his girlfriend, so where do he have the obligations and responsibilities towards her?
He said stubbornly: "I volunteered, don't worry about it, I will..."
He wanted to say, "I am willing to be good to you," but when the words came to his lips, he changed them to, "I just can't stand others bullying you, I am very loyal."
Ling Suisui: ...
Forget it, let him be. He was willing to be nice to her, and she wouldn't be shy and feel like she couldn't bear it.
In the entertainment industry, everyone has to have personal relationships with each other.
In the future, if Yingnian needs help, Ling Sui will definitely not refuse as long as he can help.
Ying Nian carefully observed her expression, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she did not show any disgust.
When he came to think of it, he felt a little sad. Why did he want to pursue her and try every means to be nice to her, but he was still afraid of her rejection? His pursuit was too humble.
But...
He looked at Ling Sui, who was pulled into the dance floor by Ji Zhaoying and was having fun among the crowd, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Ying Nian stared at her intently and couldn't help but take out his cell phone to take a few photos of her.
She has a particularly bright and cheerful smile, and even if she is captured in a static moment with a not-so-good expression, she still looks good in the picture.
Ying Nian originally wanted to set it as his phone wallpaper, but he was afraid that if someone saw it and exposed it, Ling Sui would definitely tear him apart.
...Okay, then I'll save it in a locked album and he'll never open it to look at it in public. That should be fine, right?
Who makes him like her so much, Ying Nian thought.
He believed that sincerity could move mountains and stones, and sooner or later, Ling Suisui would accept him.
**
The end of May is the busiest time for Ling Sui.
Not only did she have to cope with the final exams and prepare for the final performance, she also had to do the publicity work for Jin Bang's play.
Also, because "The Name on the List" is about to be broadcast, she has to re-read the script several times to recall the role, so that she can speak meaningfully in the interview about Zhang Zihan and demonstrate her basic professional qualities as an actor.
At this point in time, all members of dormitory 404 were present and in good order.
Ling Suisui also took the opportunity to ask about Wen Jiayan's situation. After she finished filming the Heyuan drama, she was cast by Aoqi as the lead in a unit drama. Judging from the team configuration, it doesn't look like a big deal.
As for the rest of her time, she is attending various activities and variety shows.
She had previously asked Ling Suisui and others whether they wanted to terminate the contract... From last year to now, she is still hesitating.
Although Ling Suisui felt that she was too slow, he could understand it.
Even if fans shout these two words every day, it is still very, very difficult for artists to do it.
As long as her dissatisfaction with Zhuoran has not reached the point of intolerance, Wen Jiayan will never be able to make up her mind.
After all, that was a huge penalty for breach of contract, and an unknown amount of time for the contract lawsuit to drag on.
Staying at Zhuoran might be eight points miserable, but leaving might be nine points miserable, no one can tell.
As time passed, Wen Jiayan's mentality had become much calmer. She was no longer as anxious as she was when the talent show just ended, feeling as if the sky was about to fall at any time.
She said self-deprecatingly: "They kept repeating the same insults to me over and over again. I've become desensitized to them after seeing them so many times."
Xiang Yanchu, on the other hand, seems particularly anxious and restless recently.
Ling Suisui probably guessed the reason: "Is the fairy tale you filmed last year going to be aired soon? When?"
“I only know it’s coming soon, but I don’t know the exact time.”
Xiang Yanchu grabbed his hair anxiously: "The fans are anxious, and so am I. I have to ask my agent several times a day, but things like schedules are unpredictable. As long as it's not set, it can change at any time."
Ling Suisui was a little confused. If it was just about the broadcast time, there was no need for Xiang Yanchu to be so anxious, right?
Her intuition told her that there must be something hidden. But if Xiang Yanchu didn't want to say anything, she also respected her privacy.
Her non-stop schedule lasted until mid-June, when all the exams for the semester were over, the final performance was successfully completed, and "The List of Successful Scholars" was about to be broadcast. Only then did Ling Sui get a rare break.
The publicity for this drama has been very aggressive. CCTV has been broadcasting trailers, and several young traffic stars have also been raising the topic on the Internet. The drama production team has also invested a lot of money in advertising on major social platforms.
The broadcast time they chose was also very coincidental. Even just for the good intention of the title, many students and parents who had just finished the college entrance examination were willing to take a look.
On the day of the premiere, Ling Suisui turned on the TV at home.
The long-awaited Zhang Zihan is finally going to meet the audience.
