Chapter 140 The main actors gather together
Under Hu Ge's expectant gaze, Liu Shishi nodded slightly and gave him an extremely clear answer.
In fact, Miss Liu herself is still confused now. This time, helping Hu Ge to get a role went more smoothly than she had imagined.
During the days when she returned to China from Berlin, Song Ci was in a particularly good mood. She took the opportunity to casually mention it on the flight to Peking and asked her boyfriend if he could give the leading male role of "Oranges Born in Huainan" to Hu Ge.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Song agreed without even asking, so that all the excuses she had prepared in advance were useless.
Liu Shishi didn't know what Song Ci was considering. Boss Song was very cunning and thought that if Hu Ge unfortunately had an accident later, he would definitely not be able to perform "Oranges Born in Huainan" at that time. So it was better to let Liu Shishi do an empty favor.
If nothing unexpected happens, "So Young" is currently on the air, and "Oranges in Huainan" is also the second collaboration between Hu Ge and Lu Yi. The two already have a certain popularity base and CP fans, so it is a sure win if they act in another drama.
Hu Ge got a positive response. Even with his usual calm temperament, he was so excited that he kept pumping his fists and said excitedly:
"That's great. Thank you so much, Master. From now on, if it's something I can do, just let me know."
Seeing Hu Ge dancing with joy like a child, Liu Shishi was also happy for him: "You're welcome. We are from the same company. I will definitely help you if I can."
Yuan Hong, who was standing by, felt very upset after hearing this. Although she didn't know what exactly happened, she could tell from the conversation that it seemed that Liu Shishi used her connections to help Hu Ge get the male lead.
While feeling happy for her good brother, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Whenever the company had a good role in a play, Hu Ge was always the first to pick it, and Sister K always favored him.
Now even when Liu Shishi has something good happen, she only thinks of Lao Hu. They usually play together. How can colleagues in the same company be so partial to one over the other?
Hu Ge had no intention of playing games at this time. He just wanted to rush back to Xiaobailou to discuss with Cai Yinong and finalize the matter as soon as possible. "Shishi, Lao Yuan, you guys play, I have to go back to Xiaobailou."
"I'll reply too." Yuan Hong was absent-minded, feeling aggrieved, and had no interest in surfing the Internet.
Seeing this, Hu Ge said with concern: "Shishi, since Lao Yuan is going back too, why don't you come with us? I'm worried about this little girl surfing the Internet here alone."
"Okay!" Liu Shishi did not hesitate and turned off the computer directly. She went to the Internet cafe for the lively atmosphere with so many people around. Since her two senior brothers were leaving first, it would be meaningless for her to stay here alone.
Hu Ge put on sunglasses and a baseball cap, dressed up a little to hide his identity, and the three of them paid the bill and left the Internet cafe together.
As soon as she walked out of the Internet cafe, the sun was shining brightly and hotly, and waves of heat hit her in her face. Liu Shishi quickly took out a parasol from her bag and opened it.
The Internet cafe was not far from the Little White Building. The three of them walked back under the scorching summer sun. They did not say a word on the way and the atmosphere was awkward and dull.
Hu Ge was thinking about how to sign a contract with Tengda with Cai Yinong as soon as possible. Yuan Hong was unhappy and silent. Liu Shishi simply didn't want to talk. She just kept walking forward, just wanting to go back to the Xiaobailou dormitory as soon as possible.
It was Hu Ge who spoke first. After coming back to his senses, he noticed that the atmosphere was unusual and was the first to break the silence: "Lao Hong, why do you look unhappy?"
Yuan Hong naturally couldn't tell her brother what was going on in her mind, so she forced a smile and said, "No, I'm just wondering when I can play the leading male role."
After hearing this, Hu Ge didn't know how to respond. Tangren's resources were there, with one play a year, and he even asked Liu Shishi to help him get resources.
I can't help my good brother in his expectations. I can't let him be a goody-goody and give up the leading male role. Even if he is willing, Sister K will not agree.
Under the current circumstances, if Yuan Hong wants to play the leading male role, he can only leave Tangren Company and go outside to take on roles and look for resources.
Seeing that his good brother was losing interest, Hu Ge half-jokingly said, "I can't help you with this for now, you can ask Junior Sister for help."
Yuan Hong was somewhat tempted when he heard this, but he couldn't bring himself to ask for help. Liu Shishi didn't treat him as well as Hu Ge did, and their relationship wasn't that level.
Liu Shishi strode briskly, listening to Yuan Hong and Hu Ge's singing in unison, pretending not to hear anything.
However, if she knew what Yuan Hong was thinking, she would definitely cry out that she was wronged. Although Yuan Hong did speak a little harshly on a daily basis, Liu Shishi still treated him and Hu Ge equally.
We are all partners in the same company and get along well with each other. There is no discrimination. As for introducing resources, that is another matter.
Yuan Hong was slow to speak, which made Hu Ge anxious. He sighed silently and said, "I've already shown you a clear way forward, but you don't know what's good for you."
After all, they were close friends who had shared a dormitory together during college. Hu Ge thought he should help if he could, and smiled as he begged:
"Shishi, if there are any resources in the future, please keep an eye out for Lao Yuan. I don't ask for the leading male role, as long as he fits the role. Lao Yuan's acting skills are still very good."
"Okay." Liu Shishi's tone was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"Thank you, Junior Sister!" Yuan Hong hurriedly thanked her. Hu Ge had asked for the role on his behalf, so it would be very rude of him not to thank her.
After a journey of more than ten minutes, the three returned to the Tangren Little White Building and saw Hu Ge's assistant Xiao Zhang waiting in front of the door from afar.
When he saw the three people coming back, Xiao Zhang hurried over to greet them and said, "Brother, Mr. Cai is looking for you. I just called you but couldn't get through. I was just about to go to the Internet cafe to find you."
Hu Ge slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory. My phone was on silent mode and I forgot to change it back. What does Sister K want to talk to me about?"
"Lin Yichen is here. President Cai wants you, Teacher Yuan, and Teacher Liu to go to her office to meet her."
Hu Ge kept walking and nodded to show that he understood. "Oh, then let's go over there quickly and don't keep Sister K and Yichen waiting for too long."
In the spacious and bright office of the president of Tangren, Cai Yinong and Lin Yichen were sitting on the sofa chatting when Hu Ge and the other two knocked on the door and entered.
Lin Yichen looked at the three people who walked into the office. Hu Ge was an old acquaintance of hers. She had worked with her on "Fairy From the Other World". As usual, she stood tall and straight, with a free and unrestrained look in her eyes and a smile on her face. She seemed to be in a good mood.
The other man is imposing and has a calm temperament; the girl is gentle and elegant, like a white lotus blooming quietly. It is speculated that these two should be Yuan Hong, who plays Yang Kang and Mu Nianci, and Liu Shishi, the new number one actress of Tangren.
"Come, everyone, let's meet each other. This is Lin Yichen, the leading actress of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. These two are Yuan Hong and Liu Shishi. I don't need to introduce Hu Ge."
Cai Yinong's voice was gentle but powerful. "Next we will be filming The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I hope everyone can work together sincerely to create a classic."
Lin Yichen smiled and nodded to everyone, his eyes bright and warm, his smile sweet and infectious, speaking Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent: "Please give me your guidance later."
Seeing his old friend, Hu Ge's face was gentle and he said in a friendly manner: "Yichen, you are too polite. I don't deserve your advice. Let's learn from each other."
Yuan Hong also laughed heartily and said: "With the participation of Teacher Lin, this play will definitely be more exciting."
Liu Shishi nodded slightly and said softly, "Let's work hard together." Looking at Lin Yichen who was smiling, she inexplicably thought of her boyfriend's joke.
"The real Yijie is not from Tangren, but she has played the leading female role in two Tangren TV series in a row; the fake Yijie has been in the company for a year and a half, but she has not even had a single scene in a Tangren TV series aired."
Seeing Lin Yichen at this time, Liu Shishi couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Although her acting skills were not good and she couldn't play the quirky, intelligent and smart character of Huang Rong, she was still unhappy that the role of the heroine was given to an outsider.
After exchanging pleasantries, the few of them sat together on the sofa. Cai Yinong first gave a few instructions, and then instructed:
"The four of you are here. I have something to inform you. The script of The Legend of the Condor Heroes has been slightly changed. Please take the new script back and study it carefully."
After saying that, he handed the four scripts prepared on the desk to the four people.
Hu Ge took the script and asked in confusion, "Sister K, why did you suddenly change the script when we were about to start filming? What was the main aspect of the change?"
Cai Yinong glanced at Liu Shishi who was sitting quietly opposite him, and replied unhappily: "The changes to your scenes with Yichen are very few, mainly the ones with Shishi and Yuan Hong. At someone's strong request, all the intimate scenes between Mu Nianci and Yang Kang were deleted."
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Liu Shishi. No one had ever heard of a male actor asking for the intimacy scenes to be cut. The person who made the request to Cai Yinong could only be Liu Shishi, who played Mu Nianci.
Facing everyone's inquiry, doubts and dissatisfaction, Liu Shishi remained calm and said frankly: "My boyfriend's family is a high-level intellectual family, which is relatively traditional. They can't accept me and other actors filming intimate scenes. Thank you Sister K for your understanding."
Everyone had different thoughts after hearing this. Cai Yinong became annoyed when he saw Liu Shishi doing what she wanted, and he drove her away directly:
"If there is nothing else, go back and prepare. The actors will report tomorrow, martial arts training will begin the day after tomorrow, and the crew will officially start filming in August."
"Okay, Ms. K." "Please take care of Mr. Cai first." Except for Hu Ge, the three said goodbye and left.
Cai Yinong saw Hu Ge sitting there motionless and asked, "What's the matter?"
Hu Ge was overjoyed, rubbing his hands excitedly and said, "Sister K, good news! Shishi helped me get the leading male role in Orange Born in Huainan. I need you to help me coordinate the contract and schedule."
Cai Yinong's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was very excited: "Okay, okay! I'll contact Zhang Zhao right away and finalize the matter." After that, he took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Zhao to inquire about the matter.
After the two of them talked on the phone, Cai Yinong smiled, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with the result of the communication. "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your concern."
As soon as the call was hung up, Hu Ge couldn't wait to ask, "What did Tengda say, Sister K?"
"It's done! We'll have a chat with Zhuang Liqi about the details when he comes to Hengdian in a few days. He's the producer of Oranges in Huainan. Zhuang Liqi will be in charge of Tengda Culture's TV business from now on. You can contact him directly."
Hu Ge heaved a sigh of relief, his heart finally settled down, leaning back on the sofa, his whole body seemed to relax, secretly praising: "Master is still awesome, Sister K, you picked up a treasure, and everyone will benefit from it!"
"Shishi is a good person, but she is too stubborn and won't listen to advice." Thinking of his aunt's temper, Cai Yinong held his forehead helplessly.
Hu Ge stood on Liu Shishi's side and couldn't help but argue: "Sister K, at our age, it's normal for us to have a relationship. It's inhumane to not let people fall in love!"
Cai Yinong glanced at Tangren Yige who was also in love, and soberly persuaded him: "What do you know? Shishi is only 19 years old! Many girls are still in high school at this age. How can they succeed in falling in love so early?
Not to mention the distant past, let’s just talk about Sun Li. She and Huang Sanshi dragged on for seven years before they got married. Fortunately, she was lucky.
It is better to become famous early and build up your career at a young age and make more money. It is not reliable to think about marrying into a wealthy family.
Didn't you just hear her say that her boyfriend is from an educated family. Our industry is completely different from educated people. Young people are impulsive and are madly in love now. But when the novelty wears off, can they withstand the passage of time and space?
Take you for example. You and Xue Jianing are both actors. You can only see each other a few times a year. And your mother is such a strong-willed person. Would she agree to you and Xue Jianing being together?"
Hu Ge fell silent. What Cai Yinong said made sense. He had not yet told his mother about his relationship with Xue Jianing.
"It seems that Shishi is smarter than me. She found someone outside the industry so that one of them can take care of the family. We are both actors, and living apart for a long time is not a way to get along for a long time."
Cai Yinong was curious: "Do you know Shishi's boyfriend?" Liu Shishi was very tight-lipped. She still had no clue who the girl's boyfriend was.
Hu Ge didn't want to say more, so he answered vaguely: "I don't know, but I mentioned it in a previous chat and I know that the other party is a college student."
Cai Yinong sighed, "I can't control you guys either. Just take it easy. But I still need to find out about Shishi's boyfriend. I want to meet him to see what kind of person he is. I want to help Shishi and make sure she doesn't get cheated."
"Then Sister K, you can find a chance to have a good talk with Shishi. I think Shishi will agree to meet you."
Cai Yinong nodded, indicating that he understood. Alas, he was destined to be a nanny, worrying so much about his young aunt, but the key was that she didn't appreciate it. Isn't it infuriating?
Liu Shishi didn’t know that Cai Yinong was complaining about her. If she knew, she would definitely think her boss was meddling in other’s business.
When they were about to enter the dormitory, Lin Yichen, who came to the second floor with them, invited them: "Shishi, if you have time in the evening, I would like to invite you, Hu Ge, and Yuan Hong to have a meal. We can chat together and get to know each other better, so that we can have a better understanding when filming later."
Liu Shishi thought about it and agreed happily. She was a non-competitive person and the little temper she had just had in the office had long since disappeared in Lin Yichen's enthusiasm.
When Lin Yichen saw Liu Shishi agreed, a bright smile appeared on her face. She had done some special research before coming to Tangren. This number one actress of Tangren had made her debut as the female lead in a box office movie of 50 million yuan. Her agent had repeatedly reminded her that she had to get along well with several artists of Tangren.
