◎ "Falling" plus "cold body"◎
Jiang Ninglu made a video call to her adoptive father and told him the good news that she had won the second female lead.
Lin Chengwang smiled proudly of his daughter and gestured, "My daughter is amazing."
A tall figure rushed into the room. Before I could see his face clearly, I heard his anxious voice: "Sister, sister, is it my sister calling?"
Lin Cheng looked at his son's anxious expression and handed him the phone with a helpless smile: "Slow down, don't drop it."
Lin Shuo chuckled, took the phone, and waved to Jiang Ninglu on the other end of the video. He pouted again, feeling a little aggrieved and self-blaming. "Xiaolu, I'm sorry. I have to study with my master every day. No, I didn't mean to avoid talking to you. Don't be angry with me."
Seeing her brother looking like a large, aggrieved dog, Jiang Ninglu couldn't help but laugh. "I know, brother is very successful and busy right now. I'm so happy for him, how could I be angry with you?"
When Lin Shuo heard his sister's praise, he had been blaming himself for not being able to call her as often as before, but now he raised his head proudly like a child who had been praised.
At this time, there was a loud noise outside the house. Jiang Ninglu heard that one of the rough and loud voices was her nominal uncle.
Jiang Ninglu asked her adoptive father in confusion, "Why is uncle here?"
The two families had not had any contact for a long time. The eldest uncle's family despised the poor and loved the rich, and especially liked to bully others and cause trouble. During the Chinese New Year two years ago, because he always said at the dinner table that he was a burden eating the Lin family's food and did not know how to be grateful, he asked him to use part of the money he earned to repay them, otherwise he would let down the Lin family for raising him.
Because of his rude and unpleasant words, his adoptive father fell out with them in anger. Jiang Ninglu was also very angry. It was his adoptive father who raised her, so what did it have to do with them? How could they have the nerve to ask her to repay them?
After that New Year's Eve, the two families had no further contact.
The eldest uncle directly said that he would not recognize his adoptive father as his younger brother, and the two younger ones were not allowed to set foot in their house.
Jiang Ninglu found it funny. If his adoptive father hadn't been constantly repeating his grandmother's last words before she passed away, which was to hope for family harmony, no one would be willing to set foot in his house.
As a result, before I went to their house, they stepped into my house first.
"Nothing, I'll go out and take a look." Lin Chengwang gestured to her not to worry about things at home, concentrate on acting, and not let the director down.
Jiang Ninglu wanted to ask something, but her adoptive father had already hung up the phone.
She frowned, feeling that something was wrong. Her uncle's family was unreasonable and hadn't been in contact with them for such a long time. Now they came to their house and were making such a fuss. They must have had no good intentions.
Jiang Ninglu planned to go home after she was done with her busy schedule. Firstly, she hadn't been home for a long time, and secondly, she was afraid that her uncle and his men would cause trouble. She was young before and had no ability to resist them, but now that she had grown up, she couldn't let them bully her adoptive father and brother anymore.
On the other hand, the news that "Hidden Paradise" is about to start filming spread on the Internet.
Zheng Duo used to be a filmmaker. The films he directed are very classic and have high reputation and ratings.
However, because several of his works failed in succession in the past few years, investors no longer had expectations for him, and he himself was labeled as the "King of Bad Movies", "Running Out of Ideas", and "Prone to Failure".
So when I heard that he was preparing a new work, a web drama, I found it incredible.
The former film genius director has fallen from grace and started making low-budget web dramas. How miserable is his situation now?
And everyone searched the cast list and found that the leading actress was Chen Zhi, who had been in the industry for so many years and had been given so many resources by her family and company, but she was only able to get the title of "little flower" alongside several young actresses who debuted later than her.
Apart from her fans who praise her acting skills every day and say she is the acting champion among the new generation, netizens have the "subway, old man, looking at the phone" face: You guys are really good at bragging.
If Chen Zhi had good acting skills, would he still only be able to compete with those "human puppets" who have no acting skills?
What's more, Chen Zhi has an inexplicable "cold" constitution. No matter what drama she plays, whether it is popular or not, in the end it has almost nothing to do with her.
It can be said that if the same resources were given to other artists, any pig would be able to fly.
Now that's great, Zheng Duo, who has a "failure physique", and Chen Zhi, who has a "cold physique".
Is Director Zheng going to unlock a new way to fail?
[You're all focused on Director Zheng and Shen Zhi, but no one noticed that the second female lead is Jiang Ninglu?]
One netizen let out a hearty laugh before spotting a familiar name in the cast list.
[Oh my god, it's really her! Can anyone tell me what dramas Jiang Ninglu has acted in?]
[I don't remember. Wasn't she previously banned? I searched her profile and found only a few commercials and minor supporting roles in some obscure dramas before she was banned.]
So how did she manage to climb the ladder to Director Zheng's high position? I admit, Director Zheng is a bit of a tycoon now, but in my heart, he's still not something some 18th-tier artist can reach. I just feel a bit of disappointment in him.
[Yes, I heard that this drama is an S-rated project from Guangyu Pictures. Everyone knows that Guangyu has been invested in by big capital. It has both strength and money. It's always difficult to get a share of their pie. How did Jiang Ninglu get the second female lead?]
I'm completely disappointed in Director Zheng. I thought he made bad movies, but at least he had a good attitude. Now he's using such a hard-to-describe actor. One has acting skills that only fans can appreciate, and the other has been trending on strange topics lately, relying on hype every day. If he really can't make anything good anymore, he should just retire and save himself from losing his reputation.
Jiang Lingxue was browsing the news online and forwarded the original blog links of these comments to the group, tagging Chen Zhi.
[Zhizhi, are you sure you don't want to ask someone to suppress the trending searches? These people are so rude, it makes me feel bad for you.]
Shen Shanni: [I told you not to act. Why would you want to be in the entertainment industry? Do you think it's okay to be scolded every day?]
Yes, the world is big, but some circles are small.
Chen Zhi is one of Jiang Lingxue's wealthy girlfriends. She was introduced to Jiang Lingxue's small group by her cousin Shen Shanni. She felt that this girl who could not go out and had a gentle and kind personality was particularly lonely and pitiful, so she often went to Jiang's house with her cousin to find Jiang Lingxue and keep her company.
However, as Chen Zhi later pursued her dream in the entertainment industry and kept filming non-stop, she gradually had less time to go to the Jiang family. They only got together occasionally and communicated in the group.
Last time on Jiang Lingxue's birthday, she was unable to return in time to attend Jiang Lingxue's birthday party because she was reshooting a set of scenes abroad. She was scolded by Shen Shanni for a long time, and Lingxue was also a little unhappy.
Chen Zhi had just returned from outside.
Last time, Jiang Ninglu reminded her to take a walk around the slums, which touched her and gave her some insights. She took advantage of the few days before joining the group to walk around again, hoping to capture more details.
Just a glance at the message that popped up in the group, she showed a wry smile on her face, it seemed that she was being scolded by netizens again.
The author has something to say:
My dears, because the author discussed with the editor that he plans to publish the v-edition this Sunday, he wants to save some manuscripts for the v-edition, so the number of words updated in the next few days will be less.
Please forgive me, little angels. I bow to you!
After v, the author will resume stable updates and try to write as many words as possible.
Thank you to all the little cuties who have been following the updates until now, and to the "lemon" kid who sent me the nutrient solution yesterday, and the pen refill Bobo.
(I almost forgot, some chapters will be reversed when the v-book is released on Sunday. The author will mark the chapters. Those who have read it must remember not to buy the remake!)
