【111. Acting like a big shot? 】
Cheng Qingxing slept very uncomfortably that night.
It could be because he was drinking, or it could be because he had been having nightmares.
The dream was always pitch black and everything was blurry. He couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or in reality.
He called his own name over and over again.
It's like reminding myself to move forward.
But with every step he took, he felt so tired.
He couldn't see the road and his body was constantly being pulled down. He thought, if only Zheng Xuhe was here.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
He opened his eyes suddenly, thinking it was Zheng Xuhe calling him, but it turned out to be a cell phone, and it showed that it was Sister Li's number.
"Hello? Qingxing, what's going on?" Sister Li asked anxiously, "Why did the crew of Five Nights of Trouble change the characters? You didn't tell me."
Cheng Qingxing took out his phone, opened his Weibo, and found a lot of messages.
The most eye-catching one is the statement issued by the crew of "Five Nights at Tsunayoshi".
Because the actor Cheng Qingxing behaved in an irregular manner during the drama and was always late and left early without reason, the investors and the drama crew decided to replace him and let Zhao Yiji play the role of Bai Suji.
Just one short line of words caused Weibo to explode.
Because the drama "Five Nights Tales" was very popular even before it started filming.
The crew and actors are basically very talented, and the leading actor is Bai Hengxi, who is the favorite of capital. Everyone says that this drama will definitely be a hit.
Coupled with the popularity of "Thank You For Your Answer 3", Cheng Qingxing appears in this drama as the third male lead.
The crew has started filming for a week and the shooting has been going smoothly. There have been a lot of leaks and everyone feels that Cheng Qingxing is very suitable for this role and everyone is looking forward to it.
Now that things have become like this, everyone has started to point fingers at Cheng Qingxing, saying that he is a small-time guy who is acting like a big shot and has started doing this just after becoming famous.
[Are you acting like a big shot as soon as you become famous?] Hakixing, you kid——】
[I used to think that Cheng Qingxing was pitiful, but now it seems that Cheng Qingxing is too self-righteous. 】
[I told you, don’t feel sorry for the men in the entertainment industry, they are all liars. 】
[Don’t talk about Xingxing like that, he is not that kind of person. 】
[When he was not famous, he would go on TV shows and cry about not having any roles. When he did have a role, he didn't act well. He used all his acting skills on variety shows. 】
[You want to be a good actor but are not willing to endure hardships. No wonder you can’t become popular. 】
[I feel like this may not just be Cheng Qingxing's problem. Why couldn't it be the crew's problem? 】
[Zheng Xuhe still wants to help him. Don’t you know what kind of person your ex-wife is? 】
[You deserve it!] He actually dared to show disrespect to Bai Hengxi without even considering his own level. 】
[You don't think Zheng Xuhe will still help him after he leaves the show, right? 】
[It’s so funny, how can this person be so shameless. 】
Why do people say it’s just his problem? Is this just one-sided proof? Why don’t we wait for Cheng Qingxing to issue a statement first? 】
[Yes, and why is one direction leaning towards the crew? 】
[The people upstairs who are speaking up for Cheng Qingxing, could they be the trolls hired by Cheng Qingxing? 】
[Will someone like Cheng Qingxing still have fans? 】
【......】
The comment section has already started to argue, but Cheng Qingxing’s fans are definitely not going to win over the other side.
Cheng Qingxing flipped through it casually and could still hear Sister Li's anxious and concerned voice.
"What's going on? Why did they change people?"
"I don't believe what it says. Qingxing, you're not the kind of person who would act like a big shot."
"Is he being targeted? Could it be Qin Shaojie?"
"Say something."
"......"
Cheng Qingxing listened to Sister Li's nagging, took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, if you are replaced, just go to another crew, it's not a big problem."
When Sister Li heard this, she also fell silent. After a long silence, she asked, "Who did you offend again?"
"Bai Hengxi was already unhappy with me. I should have listened to you from the beginning and just refused to take the role." Cheng Qingxing got up and washed up. "It's my problem."
Sister Li was right to not let him answer the call at first. Now that this evil incident has happened, it will probably remain on the hot searches for a while.
"It's strange recently. No one has contacted you, even though you had several scripts before." Sister Li was a little frustrated.
"It's just Bai Hengxi's trick." Cheng Qingxing didn't intend to hide it from her. After all, it would be better for her to know. "It's okay. It's not a big problem. I can handle it quickly."
Sister Li was worried that Cheng Qingxing would do something out of line and cause more trouble, so she advised: "Just bear with it, and everything will be fine after the storm has passed."
"If I could tolerate it before, I can't tolerate it now." Cheng Qingxing changed her clothes, "Now the whole world knows that I am Zheng Xuhe's ex-wife. Bai Hengxi will not let me go."
He knew very well that as long as he stayed in the entertainment industry for one more day, Bai Hengxi would keep an eye on him, and even if he married Zheng Xuhe, he would still not let him go.
The sudden popularity of "Thank You For Your Answer 3" is destined to make Cheng Qingxing have a hard time.
"So what are you going to do?"
"You don't have to worry about me." Cheng Qingxing heard the sadness in Sister Li's tone, so he comforted her, "I'll be fine."
"Bai Hengxi is the young master of the Bai family after all. Now that you don't have Zheng Xuhe to back you up, how can you possibly be his opponent?"
When he heard the name "Zheng Xuhe", he stopped talking for a moment.
In everyone's eyes, Cheng Qingxing can only fight back against others under the protection of Zheng Xuhe.
"Go to Room 909 of the Second Affiliated People's Hospital first." Cheng Qingxing changed the subject, "I sent Sun Haojie to the hospital yesterday. Remember to buy some supplements for him."
"Okay, but how did he get injured? Isn't he the second male lead in the crew of Five Nights? Did he get hurt while acting?"
"I don't know about that." Cheng Qingxing packed up and went out directly. "He should give you a file. Just help me get it."
Sister Li responded and hung up the phone.
As soon as he came out, Nanny Wang came over and handed him a cup of sobering tea, "Master Cheng, sobering tea, you will feel much better after drinking it."
Cheng Qingxing took it and drank it in one breath.
"The master asked me to make porridge for you." Nanny Wang reminded again, then went to clean the house.
Cheng Qingxing looked at the porridge on the table and sat there eating. When he found that he was alone, he subconsciously glanced at Zheng Xuhe's room.
There was no sound of the door opening for a long time, so he probably guessed it, so he asked Nanny Wang in the kitchen: "Auntie Wang, has Zheng Xuhe left?"
"Master Zheng." Nanny Wang glanced upstairs and said with a smile, "He got up very early in the morning, told me that you drank, asked me to prepare some delicious food and sobering tea, and then left directly."
