Day 119
Never trust the rationality of young people, because they always have thousands of reasons to support their impulses.
Xiaohe and the others' true identities were seen through, and since they trusted that nothing would go wrong in their company, they all stepped forward, vaguely intending to surround Bai Wenji.
Bai Wenzhi frowned and immediately stepped back. He wasn't as strong as Ye Lai, so he couldn't handle a one-on-many situation.
"Senior, aren't you going too far?"
Bai Wenji also became angry when he heard this.
"Excessive? What was excessive about what I said? Is it correct for you to speak ill of your seniors behind their backs?"
Captain Jin Wenbo was a boy of considerable build. He immediately pushed the crowd aside and started fighting against Bai Wenji.
"Senior, calm down. They didn't say anything bad. On the contrary, I don't think it's right for you to suddenly scold us so angrily."
Before he could finish his words, the person on the other side snorted coldly.
The lethality of the beauty's anger is powerful. Even when arguing with him, Jin Wenbo and others suddenly understood why Bai Wenji could steadily rise in the rankings despite the lack of story lines and few shots.
The young man stood still like a solitary pine tree in a cold pond, a frost-like color between his brows and eyes. His thin lips were pressed into a cold line, and the line of his jaw appeared as cold and hard as a knife in the light.
A wisp of raven-blue hair brushed past the corner of his eye, and his gaze was like a sword tempered by cold stars, slicing the air around him into tiny shards of ice. The shadow cast by his nose slashed across his pale cheek, and even his breath turned into icicles hanging from the eaves of a winter's day, quietly and sharply suspended in the silence.
Bai Wenji's family background is almost known to everyone. He is the inheritor of a family of quyi.
However, these days these inheritors only have a nice title, they have no capital, no connections, and most of the time they are only respected by the public when they are mentioned.
After all, only people who love traditional culture will care about this halo. How can young people like Jin Wenbo and Xiaohe, who have long been immersed in the glamour of the entertainment industry, care about something that is meaningless in their eyes?
Moreover, the Bai family's influence is limited to the folk art circle, and in this modern era when folk art is declining, it has even less power.
Although Bai Wenji often had harsh words, he also had his own pride. Facing a group of stupid kids who couldn't make sense, he was unwilling to waste his words.
He glared at them, suppressed the curse words under his tongue, and left angrily.
Fu Xunyan and others received the news that Chen Qingsong was on his way, so they were preparing to meet in the lounge, just when they saw Bai Wenji walking quickly with an unhappy look on his face.
Fu Xunyan was washing his hands at the sink next to him. Seeing this, he hurriedly wiped his hands on the towel twice to dry them, then grabbed Bai Wenji's arm to stop him.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so angry?"
Looking at those calm and tolerant eyes, even though he was older, Bai Wenji almost had the urge to speak out, but he still held back.
Don't spread negativity.
"Nothing, just a little problem, it's solved now."
The other person stared at him for three seconds, and although he let go of his hand, he smiled.
"If it's resolved so quickly, that's not like the Bai Wenji I know."
Fu Xunyan knew very well that although Bai Wenji was an independent fairy in the eyes of his fans, he was actually a very twisted person who cared about other people's opinions - or to put it more bluntly, he was a little narrow-minded.
It's not to say that he is a bad person, but in short, if this guy doesn't retaliate in place, he won't feel relieved quickly. Instead, he will appear calm on the surface, but will be ruthless in his heart.
Often it only consumes one's own emotions.
Bai Wenzhi's lips touched slightly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw some people on the sofa stop talking and secretly look over, and his eyes raised.
He pulled Fu Xunyan over, turned his back to them, and began to tell them what had just happened.
After hearing this, Fu Xunyan suddenly had a bad feeling, and his face showed a hint of panic and confusion from Bai Wenji.
"Tell me exactly what you said to them."
After listening, Fu Xunyan frowned, and his fox eyes narrowed slightly because of thinking, with a brighter color than usual, like a dangerous deep pool, brewing some storm.
"What's wrong?"
"Did they have cell phones?"
"Yes—you mean?"
"It's just speculation, not certain, but it's better to take precautions first."
The two of them fell silent.
At this time, Ye Lai pushed the door open and looked at the two people blocking the door with confusion.
"Come quickly, Teacher Chen Qingsong is at the door."
Although Chen Qingsong is respected as a teacher, he is still very young and has a very handsome appearance. Recently, due to the popularity of ancient style dramas, he has become popular again and has become a hot male actor in ancient costume dramas.
He saw these talent show trainees walking over from afar, and his eyes lit up again and again, especially Fu Xunyan and Bai Wenji who happened to be in the lead.
"Young people nowadays are so good-looking, they look like they came out of a novel."
Chen Qingsong was generous with his praise and very approachable. He pulled the group of young men over and started chatting about family matters. His eyes were especially glued to Fu Xunyan and Bai Wenji. On the contrary, Ye Lai, his junior fellow apprentice, was completely ignored.
While chatting, Chen Qingsong suddenly received a phone call. The person on the other end seemed very anxious, and Chen Qingsong also frowned.
"What? They're not performing anymore?"
"You're so down-to-earth! Forget it! I told you it was dangerous to sign them for traffic, but you didn't listen. We're shooting this scene tonight, so where are we going to find two suitable people? How about talking to Xiao Xu and seeing if we can delete their scenes?"
"Wait a moment--"
Chen Qingsong's eyes suddenly fell on the two young men standing in front of him. Without even having time to answer the questions on the phone, he grabbed Fu Xunyan's shoulders and made him turn around passively with a puzzled look on his face.
"Okay, okay, I found a way."
"Are you two free tonight? Can you come and do me a favor? The play I invested in is short of two people. If you are interested, you can come and try acting."
Bai Wenji and Fu Xunyan looked at each other - they had no reason to refuse such an opportunity, so they each notified their own agents and the program team. After receiving a positive answer, they accepted Chen Qingsong's invitation.
"Can I go for a tour?" Jiang Han raised his hand, his round eyes shining. "Although I'm not very interested in acting, I'd like to take some behind-the-scenes photos of the treasure hunt."
"Then I'll go too. All my buddies have gone. How can I go back to the base alone and stay in an empty room?" Da Pei put his arm around Jiang Han's shoulders and smiled freely, which made Chen Qingsong sigh in his heart that it was a pity that there was no vacant role like a young general, otherwise this young man named Da Pei would also be very suitable.
Ye Lai had no reason to fall behind, so he packed up and followed.
This matter was so sudden and urgent that Bai Wenji and Fu Xunyan forgot about the conflict with GF that they were just worried about.
Maybe this is what life is like. A sudden good opportunity leads to negligence, and this small negligence, with a one in ten thousand probability, just happens to cause chaos and disrupt the original story line.
When the group arrived at the set, it was almost sunset. Due to Chen Qingsong's friendly attitude on the road, the guys from "New Century" started calling him "Brother Chen Qingsong" when they got off the car.
"Brother Qingsong, the investment in your new drama is so huge." Jiang Han doesn't like acting but he quite likes watching dramas. When he saw the scenery at the door and the clothes worn by the road show performers, he couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Qingsong is very proud of this.
"Yeah, I invested all my savings into this. If this show doesn't take off, I'll be living on the streets."
After saying this, the olive branch he extended to Fu Xunyan and Bai Wenji seemed even more valuable.
But Fu Xunyan did not feel embarrassed at all - although he was grateful for Chen Qingsong's appreciation, it was his own characteristics that attracted Chen Qingsong.
This is not a one-sided charity, but a transaction.
Chen Qingsong certainly has the right to choose his trading partner, but giving up Fu Xunyan as his trading partner and choosing someone else would also make him feel painful.
So when Fu Xunyan came in front of the director, what Director Zhang saw was a guy who was not nervous at all, and was so calm that people wondered if he was a newcomer, not to mention that he had a really handsome face.
He stood there, tall and graceful, facing the backlight, his features gilded with a sharp edge. Even in his ordinary shirt, he had a cold, sharp line, which made his shoulders look like blades, and he looked like a sword unsheathed.
His face was extremely delicate, with a clean jawline, a high nose bridge, and thin, pale lips. When he wasn't smiling, he exuded an almost cold and distant air.
The most frightening thing is that pair of eyes - slightly narrow and long fox eyes, with slightly upturned tails. The arc that should have been romantic and affectionate, but because of the extremely deep color of the eyes, it looks dangerous.
At this moment, exhausted from the drive, his eyelids drooped, his long lashes casting a shadow beneath his eyes. The corners of his lips remained neither raised nor lowered, yet something inexplicably held your breath. Though he remained silent, an invisible sense of oppression seemed to spread, and even the noisy sounds on the set dropped a few degrees in that instant.
The director stood opposite him, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.
There were bursts of gasping sounds coming from not far away. Not only the actresses, but even the actors couldn't help but look over here again and again.
"Great job, Chen Laosi!" Director Zhang and Chen Qingsong are good friends. He did not restrain his emotions at all and almost jumped up from the small bench to hug Chen Qingsong.
But the joy was beyond words.
"Where did you find such a perfect person?! This is so-so good-looking, and fits the role perfectly!"
"If you have such resources, why didn't you introduce them earlier? Do you know how long I've been struggling for these two minor roles?"
Chen Qingsong hurriedly supported the director who nearly fell, and said in a confused tone, "I just met them today too. Look how good I am to you. I lured them here as soon as I met them."
Chen Qingsong winked at them quietly and coaxed the director, "I put a lot of effort into convincing them. You have to treat me to a good meal."
"That's right." Director Zhang agreed immediately.
"Ah, those two guys, Peng and Wang, are so infuriating. If they weren't satisfied with our crew, they shouldn't have come earlier. They would rather pay me hundreds of thousands of dollars each than break the contract. It seems that high branches are too easy to climb elsewhere."
Listening to this, Chen Qingsong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When he first invested in this drama, he also treated it as an ordinary ancient idol drama, but I don’t know what Director Zhang and the investors behind him were thinking. They took an ancient idol drama more seriously than a serious drama, so the drama became longer and longer, and the production became more and more rigorous.
When Peng and Wang came to audition, their acting skills were a little lacking, but barely adequate. However, near the end of filming, when it was their turn, Director Zhang was dissatisfied with their acting skills due to their excellent performances, and they were repeatedly cut.
Whether it was out of spite or because they had other opportunities, the two men broke the contract and ran away.
