Chapter 65: Film Review
Thinking of his younger brother and stepmother who were verbally attacking his daughter just because they had a boy.
A fierce glint flashed in Li Jinghua's eyes. "Also, have the housekeeper report to my father all the gossip about Jing Hong and the rumors about our Li family's bloodline. For the sake of our family's reputation, it is necessary to conduct a new paternity test on Jing Hong's son."
The assistant met the boss's eyes and knew what the boss wanted from the results of the paternity test.
Zhao Qi hadn't expected that she would make things worse.
She has received many contract termination calls these days and is going crazy.
She still couldn't figure it out. She was just helping to recommend a client with connections, so how could she get herself involved?
It was obvious that that person had promised last time that as long as she became Gao Panpan's guardian and sent Gao Panpan to a mental hospital, he would help her conceal her past with Gao Lihui!
In fact, Zhao Qi was also stupid. When she faced the threat from Gao Panpan, someone happened to offer to help, and she did not investigate at all why Gao Panpan was sent to the mental hospital.
Zhao Qi kept calling Li Jinghong. She couldn't believe that Li Jinghong would be so heartless to her despite their marriage of more than ten years.
Finally, thanks to Zhao Qi's unremitting efforts, the call was connected.
"Why are you calling?" Li Yaozu's voice was cold.
"Jinghong, you have to help me! At least for Jizu, our son." Zhao Qi begged crying.
"Hehe, who knows if Jizu is my son." Li Jinghong said sarcastically.
When I first met Zhao Qi, I pretended to be pure in front of him. I didn't expect that she had already given birth to a child in the mainland and was so extravagant!
As for what she is doing in the mainland now, of course he knows about it, but he turns a blind eye to it.
Now his girlfriend is pregnant. He originally planned to let his lawyer take the prepared evidence and kick Zhao Qi out of the house after his son was born. However, he didn't expect Zhao Qi to make a big fuss first, making him lose face!
The more Li Jinghong thought about it, the angrier he became. "Zhao Qi, you've made me a laughing stock! You've made the entire Li family a laughing stock! This is your own mess, clean it up yourself!"
Zhao Qi didn't expect that Li Jinghong would doubt his son's identity. After his son was born, the Li family did a paternity test!
"Jinghong, listen to my explanation!"
“Beep…beep…beep…”
The response she got was a merciless busy tone.
Zhao Qi felt cold all over, and her last hope fell on her son.
When the call was connected, she used a trembling voice, trying to squeeze out a motherly tone: "Step-grandfather...Mom..."
"Don't call me anymore!"
On the other end of the phone, there was a young boy with the hoarseness unique to voice change and undisguised resentment.
"My classmates are all laughing at me! They say my mom is keeping a gigolo outside! They say I have a bastard sister who appeared out of nowhere! I don't have a mother like you! You really disgust me! You're a disgrace!"
The call was hung up again.
The phone slipped from Zhao Qi's hand and made a harsh sound when it hit the floor tiles.
She collapsed on the sofa, staring blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling.
How could this happen?
As for the uncle of the Yu family who had forced Yu Wanwan into the show, when he realized that the "mad dog" of the Sheng family was behind it, he acted decisively and immediately withdrew his investment from "Actors in Progress" to survive.
The two major investors, the Li family and the Yu family, have withdrawn their investments one after another. In addition, due to the orders to rectify fire safety issues, the once S-level variety show "Actors in Progress" has been announced to be suspended indefinitely by Triangle Video. It has to find new investors before it can be resumed.
Shi Qing was reading these messages, feeling mixed emotions.
The pleasure of revenge is not as strong as imagined, but more of a tiredness and melancholy after the dust has settled.
However, her sadness did not last long.
A huge surprise came quietly.
[Qingqing, "Second Daughter" has passed the review! ]
When Shi Qing saw the message, she was stunned and didn't react for a while.
She read it over and over again, then replied with trembling hands: [Director Lu, is this true? Has the release date been set?]
Last time, they also said that the film would be released soon, which gave her endless hope, but it turned into nothing in the end.
This time, she didn't dare to believe it easily.
Soon, the director's video call came directly.
On the other side of the screen is Lv Xiangyang, the director of "The Second Daughter".
This female director of art films who once won international awards was full of vigor and vitality four years ago. Now, after exhausting her efforts on the film "Second Daughter", white hair can be vaguely seen on her temples in the camera.
At this moment, tears welled up in her eyes and her voice trembled with excitement.
"Qingqing, it's true! It's officially set! It's November 20th!"
Upon hearing the exact date, Shi Qing could no longer hold back her tears, which instantly burst out.
After hanging up the phone, the afterglow of joy was still pounding in her chest, and Shi Qing sent the news to her agent Xia Zhu via voice message.
Her voice still contained the lingering sound of tears, mixed with an uncontrollable smile.
Xia Zhu replied almost instantly.
As an agent, her happiness was very practical, and she was already calculating rapidly as she spoke: "Great! As long as the publicity and promotion are in place, this movie will be your stepping stone to enter the film industry."
She was thinking, "So, after the filming of Yue Yan is finished, it will be a seamless transition to the film's roadshow."
Shi Qing said "hmm" and felt more at ease after listening to Xia Zhu's clear plan.
"Oh, right." Xia Zhu changed the subject. "There's a resource I was planning to help you get. Do you know about 'Idol Project'?"
Shi Qing certainly knew about the popular talent show in China. She had previously followed the girl group season of "Idol Project 2" in which Du Linlin participated.
"The third season of the men's group audition is about to start, and I want you to be the initiator. I don't need to say much about the popularity of this program, it will be very helpful for you to increase your exposure."
Shi Qing's heart skipped a beat.
She understands that she urgently needs to prove to the market that she not only has acting skills, but also has traffic and commercial value.
The Reuters of "Yue Yan" and the popularity of "Actors in Progress" are just stepping stones, and capital is still watching.
But...the initiator?
The names of the initiators of the previous two seasons flashed through her mind. They had a high status in the circle. Was she really qualified?
"This pancake is too big, Sister Xia, I..."
"You have to give it a try. You need this kind of resources to raise your value right now." Xia Zhu interrupted her hesitation, "Just focus on filming, and leave the rest to me."
After the chat, Shi Qing held her phone and found the familiar pinned avatar.
She had so much to tell Sheng Han and wanted to share this belated joy.
Just as her fingertips were about to click, she suddenly stopped.
Today is the Leap Awards ceremony. Sheng Han’s film “The Bird in the Sky” was nominated, so he attended.
