Chapter 54 What we, the audience, cannot see...



"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are famous. It is better to be humble and modest."

When Shu Ya, the wife of the movie emperor, said these words to Ning Chuchu in a condescending manner, Ning Chuchu's heart naturally surged with anger.

But she quickly calmed down and frowned slightly. She had no grudge against Shu Ya, so why would she be so hostile to her?

Could it be that Shu Ya felt uncomfortable because of the scandal between her and Pei Wang?

If this is the reason, Ning Chuchu can understand it.

But she clarified it immediately, and never forgot to keep a distance from Pei Wang afterwards. Even the comments about her and Pei Wang as a couple on the Internet were suppressed by her team.

She thought she had done everything properly and had a clear conscience. Therefore, she did not think she should endure Shu Ya's inexplicable anger.

Do you really think she has no temper?

The smile on Ning Chuchu's face suddenly turned cold. She was tall, and standing face to face with Shu Ya, she could easily look down on her.

Facing Ning Chuchu's arrogant eyes, Shu Ya actually shuddered for a moment. Ever since she married Pei Wang, everyone around her respected her very much. This was the first time she felt such a strong sense of oppression from a female star.

But... Ning Chuchu is just a small star, and she is the wife of a legendary movie emperor. How dare she look at me with such impudent eyes?

Facts have proved that Ning Chuchu not only has a bold look in her eyes, but also has a reckless tone in her words.

Ning Chuchu looked down at her with a haughty look in her eyes and a cold tone: "My own father can't control me, so you should just take care of yourself."

Stop pointing fingers at her. Who do you think you are?

Now, Ning Chuchu has been accustomed by the system to be like a firecracker that can be ignited at any time. Normally, she is relatively gentle, but if someone is weird in front of her, she can immediately shut the other person up with her sharp tongue.

He refuses to eat even the slightest loss.

Sure enough, Shu Ya was probably used to being the wife of a high-ranking movie star, and had never seen Ning Chuchu being so confrontational. She was so angry that her face turned red, and she was unable to speak with trembling lips.

Ning Chuchu lazily passed her and went back to her seat, then began to remove her makeup slowly.

Shu Ya glared at her back with hatred, as if she wanted to burn a hole in her back. But it was obvious that this person had no fighting power. He held his temper for a long time and didn't know how to refute Ning Chuchu.

Seeing her face flushed with anger, Ning Chuchu calmed down a little.

She thought about it and realized that if Shu Ya was so hostile to her because of the scandal between her and Pei Wang, then maybe she should explain it carefully.

So she softened her voice and said as gently as possible: "Sister Shuya, if you are hostile to me because of those unfounded scandals, you are really worrying too much."

"The amount of words I've spoken to Mr. Pei combined is less than what I've spoken to Feng Yifan in one day. Those rumors are completely fabricated."

"If the online scandals make you unhappy, then I don't think you should be angry with me. Because I am also a victim of rumors, and I have tried my best to clarify it."

Ning Chuchu spoke very simply and sincerely, but she was worried that the wife of the movie emperor would doubt the sincerity of her words.

I thought Shu Ya would be at least somewhat moved after she said so much, but she rolled her eyes in disdain and sneered, "I don't care what your relationship with Pei Wang is."

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that the wife of the movie emperor was quite hypocritical. But when she saw Shu Ya's eyes through the mirror, she was stunned.

When talking about Pei Wang, Shu Ya's face was filled with disgust, and her beautiful eyes were full of coldness.

Ning Chuchu saw it clearly. This was definitely not a double-talk, it was all her true feelings.

Shuya hates her husband.

Before Ning Chuchu had time to ponder this strange phenomenon, Shu Ya spoke again, her tone still very aggressive, "Ning Chuchu, I advise you to be polite to others. Don't be so arrogant that you don't even take your seniors seriously."

After saying that, she snorted coldly and left the dressing room directly in her high heels, as if she couldn't bear to be in the same room with Ning Chuchu.

Ning Chuchu stared at her slender back and narrowed her eyes dangerously.

It's been a long time since anyone dared to act so arrogantly in front of her. It's really... interesting.

The system residing in her mind shuddered for some unknown reason.

However, apart from her first reaction of anger, Ning Chuchu felt more curious and confused.

According to her observation, Shu Ya really doesn't like her husband Pei Wang, and doesn't care whether Pei Wang has a relationship with other women. So... where does her ill will towards herself come from?

She warned herself to be polite to others and not to ignore her elders...

So, is she speaking up for a “senior” who she has most likely just recently criticized?

Senior...

Ning Chuchu's thoughts were constantly wandering when suddenly someone knocked on the door, pulling her out of her thoughts.

"Sister Ning, Director Feng wants to see you."

"Coming!" Ning Chuchu responded hurriedly, putting what had just happened behind her.

When she saw Pei Wang again later, he chatted and laughed with Ning Chuchu as usual, without showing any sign of abnormality.

Ning Chuchu knew that Shu Ya did not tell her husband, the movie star, about the conflict between them.

She couldn't help but touch her chin. It seemed that Shu Ya really didn't care about Pei Wang at all. She was so stupid that she didn't even bother to put eye drops on her. How much did she dislike Pei Wang?

Looking at Pei Wang's calm and handsome face with a smile on it, Ning Chuchu seemed to be hesitant to speak.

But she hesitated for a moment and swallowed all the words.

She had only met Pei Wang a few times. What could she say to him?

Said she had a conflict with Shu Ya in the dressing room just now? Since Shu Ya didn't tell Pei Wang about their conflict, she would not complain. As long as she didn't do it again in front of her, Ning Chuchu didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble for her.

After all, she still has to work with Pei Wang for a long time and doesn't want to cause trouble because of such things.

Or tell Pei Wang that your wife doesn't like you at all? What if the couple is in a marriage by agreement, or there is some hidden secret, she will still end up in a very embarrassing situation.

Therefore, as an outsider, it is better for her not to interfere in the affairs between husband and wife.

She didn't want to worry about other people's family affairs. No matter how the movie-winning couple quarreled, as long as it didn't affect Pei Wang's acting, it was fine.

Ning Chuchu slowly turned a page of the script and took a sip of tea.

Yes, she only has career in her mind.

Fortunately, Shu Ya never showed up again for a while, and the "Hunter" crew was doing its job as usual, with filming going smoothly.

Ning Chuchu felt a sense of exhilaration when filming for the first time.

Firstly, it was because the role of Bai Xi was so appealing and she enjoyed playing it very much; secondly, it was because Pei Wang’s acting skills were truly superb, and by working with such an excellent actor, Ning Chuchu’s acting skills were greatly improved.

Most importantly, she was often completely immersed in the role by Pei Wang's superb acting skills. The feeling of being immersed in the role and becoming the role made her soul tremble.

An unprecedented burning ambition burned in Ning Chuchu's heart.

She wants to rely on the role of "Bai Xi" to stand at the highest place and take the most dazzling glory.

The filming of "Hunter" is proceeding in an orderly manner. Although Ning Chuchu wants to devote herself to the filming of the movie, this is obviously unrealistic.

A few days ago, she just carried out a live broadcast to promote the new products of Xie's Beauty Department as promised, and as expected, she set a sales record again, making this new product, which was just launched not long ago, the most popular beauty product of the season.

The person in charge of Xie's beauty department grinned so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears, and what surprised him the most was that Miss Ning, who was extremely popular at the time, not only spent nearly four hours live streaming to promote their products, but she even didn't ask for any compensation!

It's purely charity!

Female Bodhisattva! The person in charge of the beauty department almost kowtowed to Ning Chuchu.

Special Assistant Lin looked at his useless character, shook his head speechlessly, and smiled a smile that concealed his achievements and fame.

Only he knew that Miss Ning was not doing charity, she was doing this just because she was Mr. Xie's fiancée! Everything in the Xie family would belong to Miss Ning sooner or later, so helping the Xie family was helping herself, wasn't it?

Lin Tezhu thought calmly and felt that Miss Ning was wise and generous.

However, he still had a doubt, which was - Miss Ning clearly cared so much about the Xie family, but why did their President Xie look so unhappy in the past two days?

Although Mr. Xie looked as cold and indifferent as ever, Special Assistant Lin could accurately sense the low pressure in him.

After thinking fruitlessly, Special Assistant Lin shook his head helplessly. It was really hard to guess what President Xie was thinking!

Mr. Xie is so quiet about expressing himself, can Miss Ning understand his thoughts? Special Assistant Lin is very skeptical.

In addition to promoting products for Xie's, Ning Chuchu also has to take care of the recording of variety shows "Love Destiny" and "My Brothers and Sisters", as well as other large and small announcements. It can be said that she is very busy.

Of course, she has turned down all the offers she could and has spent most of her time honing her acting skills and starring in good movies.

Soon, the third episode of "My Brothers and Sisters" was launched as scheduled. The popularity of this episode was much higher than the previous two episodes, to the point of being absurd.

It’s because the production team of “My Brother” is so good at creating hype that during the live broadcast of the third episode, they revealed that they had put heart rate monitors on all the guests and interviewed them, using the fact that “it can tell whether the guests are lying” to arouse the audience’s expectations.

To be honest, what the "My Brother" production team did was indeed very gimmicky, but it was really unfair to the guests.

Yi Jun and Hu Jiayu both approached the production team privately, hoping that they would cut out their parts. Unfortunately, My Brother was backed by the Xie family and was not afraid of offending anyone, so they did not accept any threats or requests.

So, when this episode was broadcast, even the guests followed the latest episode with trepidation. They wanted to know how much of what they said was broadcast, and how effective was that heart rate monitor?

The production team of "My Brother" whetted everyone's appetite and dropped a big bomb at the beginning of the third episode, with a scene of all the guests being interviewed.

Each guest will be taken individually to a simple but closed small room, with no one else in it except the camera and the host.

In addition to the guests' faces occupying most of the screen, there is also a heart rate monitor in the lower right corner, which beats rhythmically with the guests' breathing.

The first person to be interviewed was Ning Chuchu. She crossed her legs elegantly, leaning back in a relaxed manner, with a relaxed look on her face, not at all nervous about being interviewed.

However, the program crew definitely had ulterior motives in conducting this kind of gimmicky interview, and it might even be aimed at Ning Chuchu.

Sure enough, the first question asked by host Du Feng was quite sharp, "Chu Chu, how is your relationship with actor Pei Wangpei?"

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows and sneered in her heart, knowing that the program crew had not been holding back. Everyone was thinking about taking advantage of her popularity.

Since Pei Wang was secretly married, in the eyes of outsiders, she and Pei Wang were both single, and it seemed nothing to tease them as a couple. But Ning Chuchu knew the inside story, and she absolutely could not have any rumors of love with Pei Wang!

Ning Chuchu looked calm and said calmly, "We've met a few times, but we're not that familiar with each other. But we're going to work together on Hunter soon, so I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

From the heart rate monitor in the lower right corner, one can see that Ning Chuchu's heartbeat is extremely steady, without even the slightest fluctuation.

So... Ning Chuchu's answer is completely true, there is no possibility of lying.

Moreover, she was calm when she mentioned Pei Wang, as if she was talking about an unimportant person, and she didn't show any signs of heartbeat or nervousness for him. It seemed that there was really nothing fishy between her and Pei Wang. Otherwise, Ning Chuchu's heartbeat would definitely betray her.

The production team was a little disappointed when they found out that they didn't find any explosive news. But they still refused to give up the possibility of finding some explosive news from Ning Chuchu.

So Du Feng spoke again, "Chu Chu, don't you think you and Mr. Pei have a special fate? In faraway Italy, you happened to meet each other while recording a variety show, and you had so many interactions. Now you are going to play the male and female protagonists together, what a clever and beautiful fate!"

Ning Chuchu smiled slightly and said calmly, "Speaking of fate, I think Director Feng Yifan and I have a better fate."

Du Feng was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

Ning Chuchu ignored Du Feng's question and started talking freely, "I met Director Feng at a charity dinner. At that time, he was facing the dilemma of no one appreciating his work. Fortunately, I had a keen eye for talent and saw the potential in Director Feng at once. I immediately decided to invest in his film, which is "Hunter."

"Director Feng is a good director with perseverance and principles. He is very serious about his films and carefully examines each role before deciding on it. Even I, an investor, auditioned obediently before I officially got the leading role in Hunter."

“I am very fortunate to have discovered such an excellent director as Director Feng, and I am delighted by this special fate. I believe that our cooperation will bring different surprises to everyone. Please pay more attention to Hunter.”

In the lower right corner, Ning Chuchu's heartbeat was as steady as an old dog, without any abnormality.

Du Feng: “…”

He looked at Ning Chuchu helplessly, but a smile and admiration flashed in his eyes.

Ning Chuchu was really smart. Not only did she lightly mention the trap in his question and cleverly change the subject, she also took the opportunity to vigorously promote her new movie.

Du Feng has only asked two questions so far, and each time Ning Chuchu's answer was able to perfectly turn to the movie "Hunter", and she did not miss any promotional opportunity.

The production team of "My Brother" wanted to set a trap for Ning Chuchu and take advantage of her and Pei Wang's popularity. However, Ning Chuchu took advantage of "My Brother" to the fullest, turning the program into a complete platform for promoting the new movie. She was a pure tool.

In the end, the production team of "My Brother" didn't gain any advantage, nor did they dig up any explosive news. Instead, Ning Chuchu got some free publicity. It's really...

The production crew was deeply depressed. Why did they always lose in Ning Chuchu's hands?

[Hahaha, Sister Ning is really a very career-oriented woman! She talks about her new movie every time she speaks! ]

[It’s so funny, the production team didn’t want to be too obvious about the popularity, but it’s clear that Sister Ning is one step ahead! ]

【@《My Brother》, do you know what happened to the last person who took advantage of Ning Jie's popularity? Be careful! 】

[I have to say, Sister Ning was successful. My mind is full of "Hunter" now...]

[Me too! Looking forward to Sister Ning’s new movie! ]

[By the way, the Golden Phoenix Awards are about to begin, and Sister Ning’s role as the Holy Lady of Divine Sound should be nominated! ]

Du Feng tried a few more times without giving up. Every time, Ning Chuchu answered perfectly, and even the heart rate graph showed no flaws!

Du Feng was amazed. This woman... in a sense, was really terrifying!

Just as Ning Chuchu's interview was about to end, the director and assistant director of the program team entered the interview room one after another.

The director rubbed his hands and asked in person, "Ms. Ning, what do you think of the guests on our show? Is there any guest you dislike?"

Hearing this, Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows playfully.

Seeing that they couldn't find out anything about her and Pei Wang, the production team decided to create some other gimmick? They wanted to attract attention by causing quarrels among the guests?

Ning Chuchu rolled her eyes in her heart, but still had a light yet a little cold smile on her face. She crossed her arms and said softly, "Annoying guests? Of course there are."

"There's more than one." Ning Chuchu said with a smile.

The eyes of the program staff lit up instantly.

Here it comes, the explosive point is coming!

As everyone waited with bated breath, Ning Chuchu said slowly, "But... it's you guys that I hate the most."

Program crew: “……?”

Ning Chuchu glanced at them, with obvious disdain on her face, "Can't you just record the variety show honestly? Why do you do these crooked things every day?"

"Is my popularity so easy to take advantage of? How boring."

"Have you finished asking questions? I'm leaving first." Ning Chuchu threw a few words at him, then stood up neatly and walked out of the interview room with a swaying figure.

The program crew was left staring at each other in silence...

They were eagerly waiting for Sister Ning to "fire" at the other guests. This would be quite a gimmick and would surely make the audience look forward to it.

But the program crew waited and waited, and actually waited until Ning Chuchu pointed the gun at them... This group of people's faces turned green with suffocation. They were all embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say anything. They could only watch Ning Chuchu leave in a leisurely manner.

The program director burst into tears.

I’ve long heard of Sister Ning’s reputation as “the queen of the entertainment industry” and “the most honest person”, but if you experience it yourself... it’s really unbearable!

【Hahahaha, I am laughing like crazy! It is so cool to see the production crew getting fooled by Sister Ning! 】

[It's so funny, you still dare to trick Sister Ning? I'm giving you face, right? 】

[Wuwuwu, I love to see Sister Ning scolding people! Sister Ning, can you scold me? If you really can’t, just step on me! ]

【↑Drag him out and make him wear pants! 】

[However, the program crew is really ruthless. They actually released this part. Hahaha! ]

[For the sake of popularity, they even hit themselves in the face. The program crew is really awesome! 】

In addition to the clip where Ning Chuchu directly criticized the program crew, which was talked about by the audience, the performances of other guests also sparked widespread discussion.

[Sui Feng and Ning Jie are indeed siblings, they are both honest and straightforward hahaha, they have never told a lie! ]

[His expression softened only when he mentioned Sister Ning, and his heartbeat was faster than usual. As expected, they are siblings, and their feelings are different. He was really cold to other guests. Hu Jiayu approached him several times, but he ignored her.]

[I used to think that Gu Yunfei was a prick, a middle school student, and had a bad temper. Now I understand that this kid is just plain stupid...]

[Hu Jiayu is so hypocritical... Her heartbeat speed increased significantly several times. So... She said she liked her sister very much, was it fake? She said she respected and admired Yi Jun very much, was it fake? She said she was just a bad mouth, but actually liked Ning Chuchu in her heart... was it also fake? ]

[I am sick of you. You are so hypocritical and like to pretend.]

[When Hu Jialing said that she was very happy and her parents loved her very much... my heartbeat quickened significantly. Alas, I felt that she was far less lively and generous than her sister. It seemed that the two sisters were treated differently at home.]

[After all, they have the same father but different mothers. It is not a saying that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather...]

[Come to think of it, Hu Jialing's situation is a bit similar to Sister Ning's! No wonder Sister Ning often helps her and gives her many small gifts. Oh, Sister Ning should be able to empathize with her, right? ]

[I'm not surprised at all that Yi Jun lied, because I knew he couldn't have no grudges against Sister Ning. But I'm surprised Yi Wen... Yi Wen looks very honest and simple, why does her heartbeat change so fast when answering questions? Is she simply nervous or... is she lying? ]

[When Yi Wen mentioned that she was a teacher, her heart rate soared... Why? Is she not a teacher at all? ]

[Many guests have secrets! What is going on? @Ningjie, can you reveal the secrets directly and tell us about it? ]

After the third episode was released, it caused a huge uproar. The guests whose heartbeats fluctuated significantly during the interviews were more or less subject to various speculations, and the image and personality they had established in the show before were also beginning to collapse.

Among them, there is another very strange thing - there is no part about Xie Jinqiu at all in this interview.

【??? Where is Mr. Xie’s interview? I want to watch it!】

[It's outrageous, why is Mr. Xie the only one missing? ]

[Actually... "My Brother" is a variety show under the Xie Group. Could it be... that Xie asked the production team to delete his part? ]

[Fuck, I'm even more curious! So, what question did you ask Mr. Xie? Is there something that we, the audience, can't see? ! ]

No matter how the outside audience protested, the "My Brother" program crew pretended to be dead to the end and refused to respond to the question of why Xie Jinqiu was not included in the interview.

The production team of "My Brother" has always been stubborn. Even when the movie emperor Yi Jun and the popular young actress Hu Jiayu threatened or asked them to delete the interview, they refused to do so.

But if he was facing someone of Xie Jinqiu's level of wealth and status, with just one look, the director would obey him obediently.

Therefore, except for Xie Jinqiu himself and some members of the program team, no one knew what questions Xie Jinqiu answered in the interview room that day.

What kind of problem is it that the show can’t even be broadcast?

The filming of "The Hunter" was progressing in an orderly manner. One afternoon, Ning Chuchu was memorizing the script seriously when she suddenly received a call.

"Ms. Ning, I have found out everything you asked me to look up," the hacker said succinctly. "The man named Hongwu you mentioned was just released from prison recently."

"He is your stepmother's ex-husband and your step-sister Yun Yirou's biological father."

When Ning Chuchu heard this, the expression on her face slowly froze, and the fingers holding the phone unconsciously tightened.

"I used some tricks to temporarily control Hongwu. The specific situation...why don't you ask him in person?"

Ning Chuchu stood up quickly, not even noticing that the blanket covering her legs had fallen to the ground. She looked tense and said coldly, "I'll be right there!"


Recommendation
