3. Chapter 3
Cheng Shangen felt that she slept very soundly, but there was something not so good in her dream. She touched the head of a puffer fish and was dancing. The puffer fish's spines were so hard and prickly that they hurt her hands.
When the sunlight poured onto Cheng Shangen's face, she turned over in dissatisfaction and muttered, "Cheng Lanxia, go draw the curtains."
Jin Qiaodong was watching Cheng Shangen's series of actions beside the bed. Cheng Shangen was a little grumpy when she got up, so it was unlikely to wake her up so directly. He could only wait until she couldn't stand the heat and woke up by herself.
Sure enough, after a while Cheng Shangen poked his head out from under the quilt, stood up with an unhappy look on his face and went to close the curtains.
When Cheng Shangen sat up and saw Jin Qiaodong, she was still a little stunned. Then she smiled sweetly: "Sister Jin, you are here. Please help me draw the curtains. It's so bright."
Jin Qiaodong ignored the smile on her face and said seriously: "It's already ten o'clock in the morning. You should have had enough sleep, right?"
Cheng Shangen's mood when she wakes up is very powerful. Once she feels that she has done something wrong, her mood will weaken and she will silently feel wronged. For example, now when she suddenly realized what she did last night, she looked at Jin Qiaodong with some grievance: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone to the bar..."
Jin Qiaodong knew from the look on her face that she might not even remember what crime she had committed last night.
"Do you remember that you were drunk last night?" Jin Qiaodong looked at her coldly.
Cheng Shangen was stunned. She had clearly ordered a glass of fruit wine that she usually drank yesterday, and Jin Qiaodong also allowed her to drink this kind of wine. However, there was a vague image of the swaying lights and her twisting body in her mind again.
Jin Qiaodong called Cheng Lanxia and asked her to get dressed quickly and come over to describe the crime scene to her sister.
"The situation was like this. Sister, you said that you drank a low-proof liquor, but you seemed drunk and suddenly staggered towards the dance floor, and then... you pressed G-Dragon's head and started dancing..." Cheng Lanxia, with her messy hair, pinched the corner of her clothes, as if she was really narrating the crime scene.
Cheng Shangen's head hurt when she heard her say that, and some vague images appeared in her mind.
After a provocative sentence "You can't dance well, I'll teach you.", there was a scene of her holding a pink-haired head and twisting it.
Jin Qiaodong watched Cheng Shangen's expression change from confusion to shock and then to annoyance. She then scratched her hair as if she wanted to bang her head against the wall for the stupid thing she had done last night.
Jin Qiaodong was slightly satisfied with her reaction and gave her a few more pointers: "When you go out, do you think the wine you drink is the same one you usually drink? When they came to China for a concert in the middle of the year, the airport was surrounded by crowds. You should know how popular they are. How many people want to expose Quan Zhilong's scandal? Just look at the scene yesterday. If someone exposed it, his fans would spit on you one by one. How can you have fans to argue with others?"
Jin Qiaodong didn't say anything more: "Hurry up and wash up. I ordered breakfast for you. We'll discuss business after breakfast."
Cheng Shangen was stunned for a moment, then got up to wash up. Because of Jin Qiaodong's change in attitude, Cheng Lanxia was lying leisurely on the sofa, playing with her mobile phone and waiting for breakfast to be served.
Jin Qiaodong glanced at her and frowned: "Why are you still hanging around here?"
Cheng Lanxia was a little confused: "
Waiting for breakfast. . . ”
Jin Qiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't call you, go back to your room and light it yourself."
Cheng Lanxia stood up with a pout, and she said, "How could Sister Jin's anger subside so quickly? It was all a lie!"
After washing up, Cheng Shangen sat down to eat with Jin Qiaodong.
Jin Qiaodong barely moved his chopsticks and just looked at Cheng Shangen: "How is it, are you going to work hard?"
Cheng Shangen nodded while feeding the porridge into his mouth.
Jin Qiaodong tapped the table with his fingers: "Then remember not to make mistakes like last night again. If you want me to, I will definitely do my best to help you."
Cheng Shangen nodded: "Thank you, Sister Jin."
Jin Qiaodong didn't have much appetite either: "Eat slowly and enjoy this last day of vacation."
Cheng Shangen is like a classmate in the class who is smart but not serious. She looks lazy at ordinary times, but if she really works hard, it will be no problem for her to get the first place in her grade. It is too easy for her to become popular, and she doesn't even need too much marketing. After all, she has only played small and supporting roles a few times out of her own interest, and she can attract a lot of fans with her face. It's just that she is too weak in career ambition, which is why she is like this now, neither popular nor unpopular.
Cheng Shangen didn't think much about it. She entered this circle just because a novel she liked very much was adapted and she wanted to play one of the roles very much, so she took the back door and directly brought money into the crew. I remember that the crew was also very surprised at that time. They had never seen anyone bring money into the crew just to play a role that was not ranked or a thankless villain.
Jin Qiaodong knew her family background and knew that there was no need for her to wade into the muddy water of the entertainment industry and work hard to make money, so she chose scripts and roles based on her mood. She would be thankful if she could get a role chosen by her in a year, no matter what her rank was. Her fans grew quickly and also lost quickly, and she was not interested in business. Most of those who followed the drama were only interested for a short period of time, and would have already turned to love someone else after seeing that she hadn't appeared for such a long time.
Cheng Shangen started school early and is very smart. She is only 20 years old this year but has already completed her university studies. She has no plans to pursue further studies in the short term. Acting is also very interesting as she can experience the lives of different people, so she discussed with Jin Qiaodong about running her career well.
Jin Qiaodong was naturally happy to see it. Although she had a few other people under her, Cheng Shangen was definitely the one with the greatest potential to become popular.
Cheng Shangen also trusts Jin Qiaodong very much. Over the years, her relationship with Jin Qiaodong is more like that of half a relative than that of an agent and an artist. Jin Qiaodong has never asked her to do anything, and he will never force her if she is not happy about it. He even attends her graduation ceremony and her sister's graduation ceremony.
Cheng Shangen sorted out his thoughts and was urged by Cheng Lanxia to change clothes and go out to play.
The last day was the real day of the trip. The three of them visited all the attractions, big and small, according to the original travel route.
The three shopaholics couldn't control their desire to buy at all and could hardly carry the bags in their hands.
Cheng Lanxia is young but loves to pose. She put on sunglasses and pretended to be cool: "I'm hungry."
Cheng Shangen thought she was funny. Did she have to act cool when she was hungry even though she was wearing sunglasses?
"Then let's find a place to eat, let's go to the birthday restaurant I mentioned last time.
The company's shop. "Jin Qiaodong suggested.
Cheng Shangen nodded in agreement, but when she walked forward she found a man standing in front of her, blocking her way. She moved slightly to the side, but unexpectedly the man also moved to the side. Cheng Shangen looked up at him with a frown.
The man bowed slightly and apologized: "Excuse me, my name is Kyousuke Hirai, do you need any help?"
Cheng Shangen saw his eyes on the bags in her hands. She smiled and rejected his way of chatting: "Thank you very much, but it's not necessary."
Seeing that she was about to leave again, Kyosuke Hirai hurriedly caught up with her: "Excuse me, I'm actually a scout. I think your current image is very suitable for the image of the heroine of the TV series we are going to start. Are you interested in auditioning?" He said as he handed over a business card.
Cheng Shangen looked at him and inexplicably thought of some strange rumors about Japan. Her face changed slightly, she waved her hand and walked towards Jin Qiaodong, speaking English word by word: "No, no Japanese, no, no Goto Sea."
Cheng Shangen pretended that he couldn't speak Japanese and that his English was very poor, just to avoid this strange man.
Jin Qiaodong looked at the situation on her side and came over to protect Cheng Shangen, asking her what was going on with his eyes.
Cheng Shangen whispered, "Maybe he's looking for a girl. He says he's a talent scout but his approach is pretty inappropriate."
Hirai Kyousuke seemed to understand a little Chinese and only vaguely heard her speaking Chinese, so he hurried over and said in broken Chinese: "Oh! Chinese, china, good!"
Cheng Shangen was a little speechless. How can you say "chinagood"? This guy is definitely not a serious talent scout.
Jin Qiaodong was not so repulsive to him. She turned around and asked Hirai Kyousuke: "Can you show me your business card?"
Hirai Kyousuke seemed to have just reacted and quickly searched his pockets and finally found a business card. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, this is the only one I have."
Now Jin Qiaodong was a little suspicious of him. He was too frivolous... She took the business card doubtfully. Cheng Shangen also came over to take a look and asked in surprise, "Are you the director?"
Cheng Shangen's fluent Japanese surprised Hirai Kyousuke: "He is not Chinese, why does he speak Japanese so well..."
Cheng Shangen was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Hirai Kyousuke didn't care too much about this question and answered Cheng Shangen's question: "Yes, I am a director. Recently we are preparing a big production of Japan-Korea cooperation, but we haven't found a suitable candidate for the heroine due to image problems. But the moment I saw you just now, I had a feeling that you are the heroine. I wonder if you are interested in participating in the audition?"
Cheng Shangen translated it for Jin Qiaodong, who fell into deep thought. Hirai Kyousuke seemed to see the situation clearly and added fuel to the fire: "This script is also adapted from the best-selling book "Between You and Me" in Japan and South Korea. With your qualifications, I believe that you will definitely be a big hit if you star in this drama. If you catch 10 people on the streets of Japan and South Korea, 9 of them will be your fans!!!"
Cheng Shangen was a little speechless while translating to Jin Qiaodong. She didn't even have the courage to translate the last sentence. This director was really too exaggerated.
Cheng Lanxia was a little excited when she heard about "Between You and Me": "Ah! Between You and Me! This book is super popular! My sisters in the Korean circle know about it, so you go and play the role, I was thinking about you when I read it before!"
Jin Qiaodong didn't know whether she was moved by Hirai Kyousuke's words or listened to Cheng Lanxia's words. She glanced at Cheng Shangen and said, "When can I go for the audition?"
Cheng Shangen knew that she was moved. Although she herself had no interest in developing in Japan and South Korea, when she and Jin Qiaodong decided on their goals this morning, she said that she would also fulfill her responsibilities as an artist in the future. So she translated the original sentence to Hirai Kyosuke.
Hirai Kyousuke's eyes lit up instantly: "Right now! It's not far away."
In fact, he didn't go out today to look for suitable candidates. The chief director has been worried about the casting issue recently. He was indeed wandering outside with this idea in mind a few days ago. Today he just wanted to relax, but sometimes fate is so wonderful.
Hirai Kyousuke looked at Cheng Shangen and suddenly made another request: "Would you mind putting on those sunglasses and then taking them off?"
Cheng Shangen looked at the bags in her hands. Hirai Kyosuke took them very gentlemanly. She freed her hands and put on her sunglasses and took them off again. Her movements were as smooth as usual.
Hirai Kyousuke's eyes lit up completely, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Cheng Lanxia's scream: "Ah!!! Sister!!! You are incredible, you are Matsuda Yuye Honno!!!"
When Cheng Shangen wasn't smiling, his eyes seemed naturally indifferent. The way he lowered his eyebrows and raised his eyes just now was so quick.
Cheng Shangen knew without asking that she was talking about the heroine of the book.
Kyosuke Hirai also looked at Cheng Shangen excitedly. The heroine Matsuda Ikuno has two main stages, and the performance methods of these two stages are completely different, but! Cheng Shangen played them all very well!
Led by Kyosuke Hirai, the three of them came to a high-rise building not far away. He knocked on the door, entered a room, said something, and then invited the three people in.
As soon as he entered, he could smell the strong smell of cigarettes. Cheng Shangen frowned, and saw a middle-aged man in the smoke holding a cigarette between his rough fingers with a worried look on his face. When he saw Cheng Shangen come in, his eyes suddenly brightened. That frown and the look of disgust between his brows were what he had been looking for for so long.
"This is the chief director, Mr. Kenichi Yamada, and this is Ms. Shangen Cheng, the person I think is suitable." Kyosuke Hirai introduced them to each other.
Yamada Kenichi quickly put out his cigarette, changed his impatient look and said with a smile: "Ms. Cheng's name sounds like Korean?"
Cheng Shangen shook his head: "Chinese."
Yamada Kenichi nodded and chatted a few more words without mentioning the audition at all. Jin Qiaodong thought the matter was going to fail when he heard Yamada Kenichi say, "If Miss Cheng is interested, we can discuss the signing of the contract. Do you have a company?"
Kenichi Yamada didn't need an audition at all. Just based on those little expressions when she first walked in, she was already amazing. She is the perfect fit for Matsuda Fukuno.
In the end, Cheng Shangen and the hungry Cheng Lanxia went to eat first. Jin Qiaodong stayed to discuss the contract with them. They even found an interpreter to show that they were sincere.
She thinks it would be a good idea for Cheng Shangen to develop in Japan and South Korea first. If this really works, then the heights that Cheng Shangen can reach will be unimaginable. She is looking forward to it.
G-Dragon was already sitting on the sofa, not dancing, with a cigarette in his hand, staring at the dance floor for a long time.
Taeyang was a little helpless: "Jiyong, you said you wanted to come to the club, but now that you're here you don't want to go down. Why are you sitting here?"
G-Dragon smiled without saying anything. He felt that he might be crazy. As soon as he closed his eyes last night, the charming and sweet face of that woman came to his mind. The next moment, his mind was filled with her seductive look when she lifted her hair. Is it true that it is so easy to be remembered if you are beautiful?
Quan Zhilong stretched and said, "Let's go back to the hotel and catch up on some sleep. We have to return to China tomorrow."
He did come here with the hope that he might see her again, but it looked like she wouldn't come, and they probably wouldn't meet again in the future.
