Chapter 267: Quarrel
There is a busy scene in the dormitory on the second floor of the Tangren Little White Building in Hengdian.
"Please put my computer there for me! Thanks!"
Liu Shishi was wearing cool summer clothes and directing the staff who were installing computers.
The computer she originally kept in the company dormitory was a bit old and had lags when playing games, so when she came to Hengdian to film, she changed to a new one.
This brand new computer has a metallic chassis and a large, clear display. It is obviously worth a lot of money. The staff installed it carefully.
Assistants Jiang Yuanyuan and Lin Xia were helping to organize things and clean the place. Yijie's dormitory had been empty for quite some time and needed to be cleaned up.
At this time, Yuan Hong, who heard the news, came to visit: "Shishi, why are you coming to the company in the middle of summer?"
"Filming! It's Lao Hu's "Mythology", I'll be a guest star in a few episodes."
Seeing that Yuan Hong was beaming with rosy glow and in a much better spirit than before, Sister Yi knew that it was the red energy that nourished people, so she asked with a smile, "Old Yuan, you have made a lot of money recently, right?"
Yuan Hong touched the back of her head and chuckled, "I did a few commercial performances and made a little money. I'm not like you and Lao Hu, who both have new endorsements in their pockets."
After the huge success of "Chinese Paladin III", he, as the third male lead, also reaped a wave of benefits. In the past ten days or so, he received many commercial performances and earned some hard-earned money. His wallet gradually became fatter, and he was naturally very happy.
"Just take your time. Popularity is accumulated bit by bit."
Yuan Hong nodded: "I am content with what I have now."
Ever since he played the leading male role in "Tianya Weaver Girl" and became a minor hit in "Chinese Paladin III", he has been much calmer recently and is no longer as resentful as before.
"Have you taken on any new roles recently?"
"I took on a supporting role in the costume comedy "Divine Doctor Da Dao Gong". I will go to the crew in a few days."
While the two were chatting, Hu Ge also came to Sister Yi's dormitory: "Sister K is looking for you, let's go together."
When the three of them came to the office on the first floor, Cai Yinong was looking at a document with a happy look on his face. When he saw Tangren Sanbao coming, he warmly invited the three of them to sit down.
"I have good news for you." Cai Yinong did not keep the secret and said happily, "I got a big order to endorse a game called "Fantasy Zhu Xian", which is a new game developed by Tengda Group."
"You invited me too?" Yuan Hong pointed at herself, a little unbelieving, and asked impatiently.
Cai Yinong nodded affirmatively and gave a detailed introduction: "Of course, to be precise, we asked the six leading actors of Chinese Paladin III to endorse the film together.
Hu Ge, Yang Mi and Shi Shi received endorsement fees of 2 million each, and the other three received 1 million each.”
Hu Ge glanced at Yijie and joked, "Tengda is really generous. They paid 9 million right away."
Game endorsements are almost always one-time deals, and it’s basically over after shooting a few commercials. It’s really easy to earn the endorsement fees.
Yuan Hong was even more delighted. After deducting the company's share, she received 600,000 yuan before tax, which was another big profit.
"I called you over here to coordinate the filming schedule. The Fantasy Zhu Xian commercial should be filmed in mid-August. Actually, it's mainly to accommodate Yang Mi's schedule."
When Hu Ge heard Sister K mention her girlfriend, she asked with concern, "What's wrong with Mimi?"
"Her contract with Rong Xinda is about to expire. She wants to wait until the contract with Tengda Culture is signed before accepting this endorsement. She doesn't want to be sucked dry by Rong Xinda."
The corners of Cai Yinong's mouth twitched slightly when she spoke. She was angry but had no place to vent. She was being taken advantage of for free again.
However, Yang Mi went to Tengda Culture to find a big backer, but because of Hu Ge and Liu Shishi's face, she could not get angry and could only swallow her anger.
Yuan Hong responded first: "I have time recently."
"That's fine with me. I can coordinate the schedule for filming commercials with the crew of The Myth at any time."
Finally, Yijie said: "I am also in the crew of "Myth", so I will just follow Mimi."
Cai Yinong nodded and said, "Let's arrange it this way for now. I'll tell Tengda that we'll shoot the commercial in mid-August."
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand and asked the three people to leave so as not to delay her work.
As the president of Tangren Film and Television, she has been extremely busy recently. The filming of "Tianya Zhinu" has been completed, and she needs to keep an eye on the subsequent production. She also needs to worry about the establishment of the next new drama.
There was also the huge hit of "Chinese Paladin III", and the second and third rounds of screenings with other TV stations were also waiting for negotiations, so there was no time to spare.
The three of them left the office. Liu Shishi was in high spirits. She couldn't help showing off her newly bought computer: "Lao Hu, Lao Yuan, do you want to play games?"
"No, Mimi is filming for the show "Beauty's Rival in Palace" in Hengdian. I'll visit her later."
"Mimi is also in Hengdian, so I'll go with you. How about you, Lao Yuan?"
Yuan Hong shrugged and spread her hands: "I have something else to discuss with Li Chengyuan about the promotion of "The Weaver Girl at the End of the World", so I won't go. Please give my regards to him."
The summer sunshine was extremely bright. Outside the crew of "Beauty's Secret", Hu Ge and Liu Shishi came to visit Yang Mi with their respective assistants, as well as large and small bags of snacks and drinks.
When the staff at the gate of the crew saw that it was the popular Tangren actor and actress who came to visit the set, they happily led them into the crew.
"Teachers, just follow this road and you will reach the rest shed. Teacher Yang Mi is there. I have responsibilities to fulfill, so I won't take you in."
As the groundskeeper spoke, he pointed in the direction respectfully with a smile on his face.
"Thank you." Hu Ge responded, and then arranged for his assistant to follow the staff to distribute drinks and snacks, while he and Liu Shishi went straight to the rest shed.
When they entered the inner set and were about to reach the rest shed, Hu Ge saw Yang Mi from afar. He was about to step forward and give his girlfriend a surprise, but he saw that there was another man next to Yang Mi. The two were talking and laughing, and their behavior was intimate.
The man leaned slightly and approached Yang Mi and said something, while Yang Mi covered her mouth and chuckled, looking happy.
Liu Shishi also saw the situation in the distance, and her heart skipped a beat, thinking that something was wrong.
Subconsciously, she glanced sideways at Hu Ge, and just as she expected, Brother Yi stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed, looking unhappy.
There was a hint of anger and frustration in his eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if trying to suppress his inner emotions.
After standing there for a long while, Hu Ge managed to utter a few words through gritted teeth: "Shishi, since we are here, let's go over and say hello."
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and then strode towards the rest shed.
Liu Shishi stuck out her tongue and secretly groaned in her heart, wondering how she could have encountered such a thing. However, since things had come to this point, she could only quickly catch up with Lao Hu's pace.
Yang Mi was dressed in Han Dynasty women's clothing, with her black hair tied up, and she was obviously young and beautiful.
At this moment, she was laughing at Feng Shaofeng's series of jokes. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Hu Ge and Liu Shishi walking towards her. The smile on her face stopped abruptly and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Looking at her expressionless boyfriend, she instantly realized that Hu Ge must have seen what happened just now, which was why she looked like that. She must have misunderstood.
Hu Ge came to Yang Mi, staring at this girlfriend with whom he had fallen in love during the filming, and with mixed feelings in his heart: "Mi Mi, Shi Shi and I are here to visit you on set, I hope we are not disturbing you."
Listening to her boyfriend's words with a hint of anger, Yang Mi had no choice but to lower her head to ease the atmosphere.
He forced a smile and said softly, "Of course, welcome! Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Feng Shaofeng, a friend I just met on the set."
She specifically emphasized the words "just met" and "friends" because she wanted to tell Hu Ge that she and Feng Shaofeng had only known each other for a short time on the set and were just ordinary friends, and she wanted to remind her boyfriend not to think too much about it.
Feng Shaofeng obviously didn't know the relationship between Hu Ge and Yang Mi. Although he felt the atmosphere was a bit weird, he was still very polite: "Teacher Hu, Teacher Liu, hello."
Hu Ge said calmly: "Hello."
"Hello, Teacher Feng." Sister Yi smiled gently, modestly and politely, which made Feng Shaofeng feel good about her immediately.
Feng Shaofeng realized that the three leading actors of "Chinese Paladin III" had something to talk about, so he tactfully avoided the discussion: "I have something else to do, Mimi, you guys chat, and entertain Teacher Hu and Teacher Liu."
Looking at Feng Shaofeng's receding back, Hu Ge snorted coldly, "Mi Mi! You're being so affectionate. You've only known each other for a few days."
Listening to her boyfriend's sour and jealous words, Yang Mi didn't know how to respond. She had a generous and open-minded personality, and when she was sitting with Feng Shaofeng just now, she really didn't pay much attention to keeping a distance.
Seeing his girlfriend remain silent, Hu Ge felt even more upset. She didn't even give him an explanation: "Mi Mi, you had a great time chatting just now, didn't you?"
The continuous cold remarks made Yang Mi angry. I was just having a normal chat with someone. Is there any need to make a big deal out of it?
"Hu Ge, don't be so sarcastic. Just say what you want to say. I have a clear conscience."
Seeing his girlfriend's stubborn expression, Hu Ge laughed in anger, with a hint of sarcasm in his laughter: "I am being sarcastic? Do you know that you have a boyfriend? You are being affectionate with other men, and you are still angry with me."
"Who is being affectionate? Don't slander me. I just sat a little closer to Feng Shaofeng. It's you who is petty and narrow-minded and thinks too much."
When Yang Mi heard this, she immediately flew into a rage and refuted Hu Ge's accusation in a harsh voice, with anger and grievance written all over her face.
"Am I petty? Am I narrow-minded? You are in a relationship, so when you are with other men, can you please think of me and be careful about the situation?
Look at Shishi. When she interacts with other men, she always keeps a proper distance and knows how to behave. It makes people feel at ease just by looking at her. "
"I'm an actor. How can I keep my distance from male actors when filming? If you have the ability, you can do the same as Song Ci and make the entire crew revolve around Shishi. You can delete the kissing scenes, not shoot the intimate scenes, and change the script however you want. But can you do that?"
"Mi Mi, you are being unreasonable. Am I talking about filming? Were you filming with the guy surnamed Feng just now?
I, Lao Yuan and Shishi have known each other for such a long time, but have you ever seen her get close to us? You and Feng Shaofeng have only known each other for a few days, and you are already close to each other. "
The two of them talked back and forth, becoming more and more excited, their voices getting louder and louder, their emotions completely erupting, and a smell of gunpowder filled the air.
"Can't you consider my feelings? How can I save face by being so intimate with another man in public?"
"I was just communicating normally, but you kept on asking for it. You just don't trust me."
Liu Shishi stood aside, her face full of embarrassment, feeling secretly helpless in her heart, "If you want to quarrel, just quarrel, why do you always drag me into it!"
However, the current situation is not good. One of them is a good friend, and the other is a fellow student who takes good care of me. I have to help ease the situation and cannot let the situation continue to deteriorate. So I hurried forward to smooth things over.
Sister Yi pulled Yang Mi's hand and gently persuaded her, "Mi Mi, Lao Hu also cares about you, so he misunderstood.
After that, he turned around and advised Hu Ge: "Old Hu, Mimi has a carefree personality, you should be more tolerant and understanding."
"None of your business is my fault." Yang Mi tilted her head slightly, her eyes slightly red. She felt that she was being accused by her boyfriend without reason, and she was so aggrieved that she couldn't speak out.
Moreover, her boyfriend just compared herself with Liu Shishi, saying that she was inferior to her in every way. At this moment, she felt a little resistant to the two sisters.
Hu Ge was angry and was dissatisfied with Yang Mi. He felt that Liu Shishi did not understand him. He snorted coldly and did not give Yi Jie a good look.
Liu Shishi had good intentions and wanted to reconcile the conflict between the two people, but when she saw that both of them were looking at her in a bad light, she ended up pleasing neither side and she instantly became unhappy.
Sister Yi bit her lip and thought: Why am I doing this? I am being bullied here for no reason.
Mr. Song is so capable. He usually speaks to me in a gentle voice and has never been cold to me for more than 20 years. Why do you two treat me like this!
The more Liu Shishi thought about it, the angrier she got. She said coldly, "Lao Hu, Mimi, take care of yourselves." After that, she turned around and was about to leave the crew.
"Shishi." Upon seeing this, Hu Ge first glanced at his girlfriend, and when he saw that she was avoiding his gaze, he sighed deeply.
Suddenly I felt that I was a bit chauvinistic and my words might have been too harsh, but I had to take care of Liu Shishi at the moment, so I could only go after Yijie immediately.
Yang Mi also realized that she had just offended her little sister, and opened her mouth, wanting to keep her, but the words just wouldn't come out.
I could only stare blankly at the two people as they walked away. My heart was empty, and an inexplicable loneliness and regret welled up in my mind.
When Da Yizheng heard the news and rushed over, he was very happy to meet the Tangren brother and sister who came to visit, but he found that the rest shed was empty. The originally lively and joyful visit ended in a bad mood.
It was late at night and after washing up, Liu Shishi lay lazily on the bed, talking to Song Ci on the phone comfortably, telling her fiancé what happened during the day.
"Yi Yi, isn't it infuriating? I meant well, but you got mad at me."
"My Shibao is a beautiful and kind person, but Hu Ge and Yang Mi really don't know how to appreciate her."
Song Ci was comforting her gently on the other end of the phone, and his words were full of heartache and favoritism for Liu Shishi.
Knock, knock, knock. At this moment, there was an anxious knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
Assistant Jiang Yuanyuan shouted loudly from outside the door: "Shishi, please check the trending searches."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi curiously opened the Weibo app on her phone and clicked on the hot search page. When she saw it, she was immediately furious.
