Chapter 418 Bai Qiujing's Home
Wang Xiangrong looked at Shen Zhichu's outstretched right hand in disbelief, and reached out to hold it half a beat late.
"Wait...you said you are the current executive director of [A.W Group]?" Wang Xiangrong's face changed and he was shocked. Something flashed through his mind. If this was true, it would probably shake the entire entertainment industry?
Shen Zhichu said simply: "Director Wang, do you think I'm joking?"
Wang Xiangrong looked at her seriously: "Not like it." He let go of her hand. It was precisely because of the dislike that it was the most shocking thing. In reality, Shen Zhichu's strength was so terrifying that he hid it from everyone.
She has come all the way from being blacklisted by the entire network. The former X Entertainment ignored her and allowed her to be mocked and scolded by black fans. Her original family was not well off and she came from the countryside. A few months ago, she was wearing heavy makeup and was mocked by netizens as a "country chicken".
She was able to get the role of the second female lead Zhao Zijin in "Changmen Hate" thanks to her acting skills and Wang Xiangrong's persistence. Since her debut, she has been mediocre in this circle. The two best resources she got were this costume drama and the variety show "Actors Arrive" she participated in last time.
Both of his schedules were criticized repeatedly by netizens, the variety show was almost cut and he was almost kicked out, and Nagato Hen almost couldn't film it.
Wang Xiangrong almost suspected that she was possessed by the god of bad luck. Why was she always so unlucky? It was rare for him to be so optimistic about an artist, and it was also the first time he felt so sorry for someone.
But now it seems that the one who should feel sorry for him is not Shen Zhichu, but himself.
Haha, the clown is actually himself.
A. W Group easily acquired X Entertainment without any effort. The market estimated its value to be at least 300 million.
Moreover, according to investigations, this group was established two months ago. With such achievements in such a short period of time, I wonder how many people are guessing who is behind this.
I'm afraid you can't guess it even if you rack your brains. This person is Shen Zhichu, who is blacklisted by the whole network. This vest is hidden very deeply.
Wang Xiangrong recovered and looked at Shen Zhichu meaningfully: "You are really unexpected. You are hiding it very well."
"I have no choice but to do so."
Shen Zhichu had many secrets, but Wang Xiangrong didn't ask much.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Your words are perfect for Xia Yanyue and her gang." Wang Xiangrong put the contract documents away and found a file bag to put them in. "I only have my seal left. I'll talk to the producer and resolve this matter. I'm waiting to give those people a slap in the face."
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?" This sentence is also suitable for warning herself so that she will not repeat the same mistake. Shen Zhichu picked up the unfinished water cup on the table: "Then I'll go take some photos first."
"Don't worry, just tell them that the crew will take a half-day break and start filming in the afternoon."
Shen Zhichu agreed and was about to leave when Wang Xiangrong stopped her, "Wait, I have something interesting to ask you now."
"What's up?"
Wang Xiangrong's gossipy eyes fell on her face: "What is your relationship with Emperor Bai now?"
Shen Zhichu didn’t even think about answering: “Friend.”
"Nothing else besides friends?"
Shen Zhichu frowned: "Director Wang, what do you want to say?"
Wang Xiangrong said in a deep voice, "Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to sigh how wonderful it is to be young. Zhichu, you're not young anymore, have you ever thought about dating? Other artists don't date because they're under pressure from their bosses and they're afraid of losing fans during their careers. Dating and marriage is a big hurdle for artists, but you're different. As a female boss, even supporting a few handsome guys wouldn't be a problem."
Shen Zhichu was a little helpless. She had no idea what Wang Xiangrong was trying to say. Sometimes he talked about Bai Qiujing, sometimes about marriage, and now he was talking about keeping a mistress.
"Director Wang, you're overthinking it. I don't want to get married yet."
"But you and Bai Qiujing?" Wang Xiangrong looked at Shen Zhichu with a bewildered expression, "You still don't know?"
"Know what?"
As expected, Shen Zhichu didn't know that Bai Qiujing had revealed his feelings towards her online.
If Chen Zhichu was interested, he should have expressed it, not just a simple "friend".
"Nothing." Wang Xiangrong smiled awkwardly. Bai Qiujing didn't say anything, and it was not convenient for him, an outsider, to mention it in front of Shen Zhichu. Perhaps for the two of them, friends were the most comfortable distance.
Besides, Shen Zhichu is still young, career is his top priority, and emotions are exclusive.
It's just a pity for Bai Qiujing. It seems that the road to pursuing a wife is not easy to understand. Although Shen Zhichu is good at acting in love scenes, he is actually an idiot in love. If you don't make your relationship clear in front of her, she may never know about it and treat you as a friend.
If Shen Zhichu's identity as the executive director of [AW Group] was exposed, Bai Qiujing's list of rivals would be overwhelmed.
Shen Zhichu felt that Wang Xiangrong was weird. He stopped her and said some inexplicable words, but suddenly stopped talking halfway through and made faces.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t sleep well, and the brains of these great directors are different from those of ordinary people, they jump a lot.
Shen Zhichu picked up his bag and silently turned around to leave the lounge. He went to the shooting location and reported to the staff on site: "Director Wang asked me to pass on a message. We will take a break this morning. The shooting time in the afternoon will be announced in the group."
Wang Xiangrong had already sent a notification in the group, and fearing that some people would not check their phones, he asked Shen Zhichu to deliver the message.
The other actresses at the scene were sour when they saw Shen Zhichu appear, and they muttered to themselves: "Bad luck!"
Wang Xiangrong worked quickly and quickly obtained a seal from the producer in triplicate. He gave one of the copies to Shen Zhichu, and the matter was completely resolved.
"When should I send out the termination agreement?" Wang Xiangrong treated him to lunch and booked a private room for the conversation. When he asked this question, his tone was full of impatience. He had been bombarded with calls from Xia Yanyue's fans in the past few days, and his cell phone number was completely blown up. Now he just wanted to see Xia Yanyue get slapped in the face as soon as possible!
"You can send it whenever you want, but if you have to choose the best time, it's when they are most proud of themselves. A slap in the face will be unexpectedly loud. You can try it." Shen Zhichu's smile was impeccable. When her pair of black and white eyes stared at people seriously, there was an illusion of being naive. Outsiders could easily be deceived by her cleverness.
Such people are the most terrifying. Wang Xiangrong is glad that his choice from the beginning was not wrong and he will never become an opponent of Shen Zhichu.
Wang Xiangrong began to think seriously: "When will they be most complacent?"
They are referring to Xia Yanyue's fans. Currently, all Xia Yanyue can rely on in the entertainment industry are her remaining fans.
"What they need now is to divert everyone's attention and make Xia Yanyue win over you and me. So what they need to do is to keep an eye on us. For example, if I'm not mistaken, the two of us went out to eat alone today, and if I'm not mistaken, it would have been posted online by now."
"No way, how can you recognize me when I'm wrapped up like this? And it's not like they're eating alone, right? What kind of trouble could there be in a public restaurant?"
"Director Wang, you've been in the entertainment industry for how many years, don't you understand which way the wind is blowing? You're calling black white. Not to mention being recognized even if you're wrapped up like this, you can still be recognized even if you're ashes."
Wang Xiangrong still didn't believe it, so he took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo. Sure enough, he had seen the entry. It might become a hot search soon.
Wang Xiangrong didn't click in to read it. He thought it was not a good thing and would make him feel disgusted and lose his appetite.
Chen Zhichu tapped the cup in front of him with his index finger and said, "Xia Yanyue should be paying a PR representative to help us get on the trending searches tonight. Don't miss out on free trending searches. Once the buzz is almost over, send out the termination agreement, and I'll do the same."
Wang Xiangrong thought that what Shen Zhichu said made sense and nodded in agreement.
"Xia Yanyue is your company's artist after all. If you use her as a tool, you should be able to make a lot of money."
"I'm afraid of dirtying my hands if I use a tool like her." Shen Zhichu sneered.
…….
After lunch, the two returned to the crew to start preparing. They had been discovered when they came, so there was no need to hide when they returned. However, when they arrived at the crew, it was obvious that the eyes cast on them were not very friendly.
Chen Zhichu was shooting exterior and night scenes today, and some of the night scenes required her to stay up all night. Chen Zhichu shoots quickly and is good at guiding others' acting skills and stirring their emotions, so filming her scenes has always been easy and usually gets it done in one take.
When she is not working, she goes to bed before 10 o'clock, and if she works overtime for a play, she must finish it before the early morning. The reason why she has such a strong sense of time is entirely because she did not take good care of her body in her previous life and thus developed stomach cancer. She cannot repeat the same path in her next life.
So, she was very quick when taking night photos, finishing around ten o'clock, and went back to the hotel to wash up and go to bed at eleven o'clock, which was just right.
This is also why the crew members like to work with her, it is easy and hassle-free.
While Chen Zhichu was filming, the Bai family was enjoying dinner. It was just an ordinary family gathering when a "distant relative" suddenly appeared.
Bai Qiujing looked at his "distant relative" Li Jingshen sitting next to him and instantly lost his appetite.
The dishes on this table were specially prepared to cater to his taste, and they were all his favorites.
Bai Qiujing doesn't have a very good relationship with his family. It's not that his parents are not good to him, but he himself doesn't feel that there are deep feelings between them.
Bai's mother was very good to him, even to the point of doting on him, giving him whatever he wanted. Bai Qiujing's memories of his childhood were very vague, and some of the fragments of his memories didn't even have faces.
Bai's mother told him that it was because he had damaged his brain when he was a child and he had been a fool for a long time.
He has a congenital heart disease. Unlike ordinary people, his heart is not on the left but on the right.
After he had the heart surgery, he stayed in bed for several months until his brain recovered.
Bai's father is relatively strict. He has a son and a daughter. Bai Qiujing also has a younger sister named Bai Wanwan. Bai's father has higher expectations for his son than for his daughter. After all, the family business is to be inherited by Bai Qiujing. But after Bai Qiujing recovered from the operation, he insisted on entering the entertainment industry, not knowing whether he was possessed by evil spirits.
Bai's father was very angry and ignored Bai Qiujing for three days and locked him at home.
Bai Qiujing refused to admit defeat and went without eating for three days. Neither the father nor the son was willing to give in. Finally, Bai's mother couldn't stand it anymore and took Bai Wanwan with her, one to persuade Bai Qiujing and the other to persuade Bai's father.
In the end, Bai's father agreed to let Bai Qiujing enter the entertainment industry, but the premise was that he must not reveal his identity as the eldest son of the Bai family when entering the entertainment industry. The Bai family would not support him at all, and he would have to bear the consequences and handle any problems on his own.
In addition, the father and son also signed an agreement at that time, giving Bai Qiujing four years, and if he did not become a superstar, he would come back to inherit the family property.
As a result, Bai Qiujing achieved it in two years.
Mr. Bai was inconsolable and had a huge tantrum. Although they kept in touch from time to time, the relationship between the father and son became increasingly strained. As an actor, Bai Qiujing rarely saw his son. He used to come home once a month, but now he only comes home once every two or three months. Now he only comes back after being called.
Does this son of a bitch really think that everyone can get away with being in the entertainment industry? If he hadn't secretly sent people to protect his schedule in recent years to deal with those troublesome paparazzi and bribe those marketing accounts that broke the news,
He had been investigated so long ago that not even his underwear was left!
Bai Wanwan was quite satisfied with her brother's career, and asked Bai Qiujing to give her a lot of signed T-shirts. As soon as she received them, she put them up for sale on Xianyu, and now she has made a lot of money.
"You don't call or text. Do you no longer care about this family?" Father Bai sat in the main seat and glared at Bai Qiujing. "Whenever I see you, I get so angry I can't even eat!"
"Then you can choose not to eat." These are the words he said every time he came back.
