【82.Bai Hengxi】
Cheng Qingxing walked up directly and held Qin Shaojie's hand.
He had a gentle and flattering smile on his face, which made Qin Shaojie very satisfied.
Qin Shaojie clenched his hands slightly, and then did not forget to touch the back of his hand, with a proud expression on his face.
"Teacher Cheng is also angry. It's so rare to meet you once." Qin Shaojie said sarcastically, "Last time on Cat Cat Island, the incident happened suddenly and I didn't even greet you properly."
"It's a pity what happened on Cat Cat Island. I didn't even have the time to say a few more words to Young Master Qin."
As Cheng Qingxing spoke, he tried to pull his hand back, but found that the other party was holding it very tightly and he had no way to pull his hand out.
The strength on Qin Shaojie's hands continued to increase. Cheng Qingxing looked embarrassed and subconsciously glanced at Sister Li.
Sister Li reacted immediately and pushed Cheng Qingxing back, which made Qin Shaojie let go of his hand.
The two people looked at each other. Cheng Zhiyi, who was standing next to them, didn't understand what was going on between them. He only knew that they had met on that very popular variety show.
So he walked over and said with a smile: "You don't know, this TV series was invested by Mr. Qin, and he specially recommended you to come. I think you are suitable, so I made an appointment with your agent."
When Cheng Qingxing heard this, his smiling face suddenly darkened.
He stared at Qin Shaojie intently, his eyes full of scrutiny and suspicion.
"Teacher Cheng is a very good actor. I admire him before." Qin Shaojie smiled and patted Cheng Zhiyi on the shoulder with a familiar expression, "I came to the show just to get closer to Teacher Cheng."
Outsiders would definitely believe this, but Sister Li knew what happened between the two of them, so she came up and said, "This drama was invested by Young Master Qin."
"Yes, Young Master Qin has a good eye. Several of my dramas are from Young Master Qin." Cheng Zhiyi glanced at Qin Shaojie, "Have you read the script?"
"It's like this, he just came back and hasn't had time to watch it yet." Sister Li directly took over Director Cheng's words, "This audition may not be very successful. I brought him here just to apologize to you. This role may not be easy for him to accept."
Sister Li said this very hesitantly and tactfully, but Qin Shaojie and Cheng Qingxing had a grudge, and pushing Cheng Qingxing to his crew must have bad intentions.
Although she really wanted Cheng Qingxing to have a good drama, Qin Shaojie obviously did not have such good intentions and would definitely make things difficult for Cheng Qingxing.
Therefore, it would be best not to take this drama.
"What's the big deal? Just book yours." Qin Shaojie spoke directly, blocking Cheng Qingxing's way out. "Teacher Cheng, this is a really good script. All the actors are veteran actors, and it's a good team. It's hard for this script not to be a hit."
Cheng Zhiyi was stunned. When did he say that there was no need for an audition?
But the investor said it, and he really thinks Cheng Qingxing is very suitable for this role.
Judging from his temperament, he is very similar to Bai Xuji. He also thinks that the roles played by Cheng Qingxing are really good in acting.
After all, he graduated from the Central Academy of Film and was among the top students in his major. His acting skills are indeed not bad. The only thing he lacks is a role.
"But..." Sister Li wanted to say something, but Cheng Qingxing interrupted her before she could finish her words.
"Then thank you, Mr. Qin, for your kindness."
When Qin Shaojie heard him agree, he thought he had misheard and looked a little surprised.
Cheng Qingxing made eye contact with him, then went to say hello to the other members of the crew.
The others could basically be considered his teachers. After greeting them one by one, he stopped in front of Bai Hengxi.
Bai Hengxi sat in the middle. Compared with those veteran actors, he was more arrogant.
"Hello." Cheng Qingxing went over to greet him first, "I'm the actor who plays Bai Suji, Cheng Qingxing."
Bai Hengxi lowered his sunglasses a little, looked at him with a hint of impatience, ignored his words, and continued to give him a sour face.
Cheng Qingxing stood there and smiled awkwardly. Sister Li pulled him aside and asked softly, "Are you taking this role? Aren't you and Qin Shaojie at odds? Will there be any trouble if you take this role?"
"It's okay." Cheng Qingxing patted Sister Li's shoulder, "I know you are worried about me, but I have read the script of this play. Good dramas are hard to come by, and I have to seize the opportunity."
"But Qin Shaojie doesn't look like a good person." Sister Li glanced at Qin Shaojie over there quietly, "You will definitely suffer in the crew."
“Before the fire, it’s normal to suffer.”
In fact, Cheng Qingxing felt that this was not hard at all. He didn't have to do anything and he could get the role of the third male lead.
Those who play extras have the real hardship.
Cheng Zhiyi walked over and shouted to Cheng Qingxing, "Teacher Cheng, the audition is over. The main actors will go to the Tianhai Restaurant next door for dinner."
This scene reminded Cheng Qingxing of the first time he and Qin Shaojie met.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Cheng Qingxing replied with a smile, and then asked, "Sister Li, will you come with us?"
"Just ask your agent to get off work later. They are all actors, and they don't bring agents." Qin Shaojie came over and said, "Come on, I'll take you there."
Sister Li was a little unhappy, "I'd better go with him. If we have to drink later, it would be good for someone to take him back."
"Just take a taxi back." Qin Shaojie went up to him, took his hand, led him outside, and then lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Don't drag anyone else in."
Cheng Qingxing paused, then waved to Sister Li, "I can go by myself, you go back."
Although Sister Li was uneasy, since Cheng Qingxing had said so, she definitely couldn't chase him. She could only remind him, "If there's anything, just call me. I'll be there anytime."
Naturally, he responded with a smile, then saw Sister Li off.
Qin Shaojie watched from the side, and as soon as the car left, he went straight up, put his hand on Cheng Qingxing's shoulder, and whispered in his ear.
"Cheng Qingxing, without Zheng Xuhe protecting you, who are you?"
He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Shaojie with a speechless expression.
"Mr. Qin, I don't need to take this role." Cheng Qingxing sneered, his eyes full of disdain, "I know this play is good, but if you are deliberately targeting me, I don't think it's necessary to suffer this."
Qin Shaojie waved his hand and said, "I'm just an investor. It's not me who asked you to act in this play."
"What do you mean?" Cheng Qingxing looked at him puzzled. He had a bad feeling.
"Master Bai Hengxi has always wanted to communicate with you." Qin Shaojie walked beside him, "Although I don't like you, I will definitely sell it for Bai Hengxi's sake."
Qin Shaojie changed the subject and pushed open the hotel box. "Mr. Bai, I brought you the person you wanted. How are you going to thank me?"
