Chapter 186 Irony
"Well, I will also work hard to learn how to grasp the changes in the character more accurately."
"Then, let's work hard together." Zhang Yixin smiled brightly at Shi Feiye, and finally asked the question he wanted to ask, "Did Miss Shi start writing novels right after graduation?"
"Not really. I just started writing a while ago."
"So it didn't take a long time to write? It's really amazing that the novel can be adapted so quickly."
"I don't deserve it, I'm just lucky." Shi Feiye didn't really want to talk about her own affairs, so she changed the topic to the other person, "I've seen Mr. Zhang's works before, they're pretty good, and everyone says you work very hard."
"Why are you so polite? Just call me Ah Xin from now on. Can I call you Sister Xiao Ye?"
It was just a name, Shi Feiye didn't care: "Okay."
"Sister Xiaoye, if you haven't been in this industry before, you may not be very clear. It's very hard to be in the entertainment industry. If a traffic star like me doesn't find time to improve myself, the traffic will be taken away by new stars and I will be worthless."
Zhang Yixin said this sincerely, and with some joy:
"There are still many people on the Internet who say that I am a sissy and a vase, but this is the characterization that the company has given me. However, I have already negotiated with the company to slowly change my style next year and take the path of a tough guy, so that I can slowly transform into a talented actor in the future."
Shi Feiye really understood this. She had come into contact with celebrities before and knew the paths they took and the personalities they carried. Many of them were set by the company, and many times they did not want to be that way themselves.
Some stars are smart and know to work hard in the direction set by the company first. Once they have a certain level of strength, they will negotiate with the company to change their personality until they become powerful and gain a firm foothold.
Some are confused. As traffic stars, they are praised by fans and forget that they have no foundation. In the end, new stars emerge and take away the traffic, and they can only decline gradually.
There are also some people who are typical of those who lack ability. Although they are born with good conditions, they cannot endure hardship and suffering, yet they are too arrogant to admit defeat, and in the end they lose nothing. The luckiest ones are those who have made some money and have a lifelong support.
Judging from what Zhang Yixin said, he is a knowledgeable, interesting and intelligent person, but what he does has nothing to do with her. They just met yesterday and spoke no more than three sentences in total. It is a taboo to talk too much with someone you just met.
"I've seen that your acting skills in previous dramas are pretty good, and you're a talented actor. You'll get better and better in the future."
"Thank you for your good words, Sister Xiaoye." Zhang Yixin leaned closer to Shi Feiye, pretending to tell her something in private, "Sister Xiaoye, let me tell you a secret. I have been secretly training my abdominal muscles. I will definitely have no problem with my tough guy persona by then."
No problem, no problem. Why are you getting so close to her? What's the point of saying such things in front of her? Are you guys that familiar with each other?
Shi Feiye's first reaction was neither to smile nor to agree, but to quickly turn her head and look around. Zhang Yixin is now a popular young idol, and she would be in trouble if someone took a photo of him from a weird angle when looking back. There are always crazy fans like this, and she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
Looking left and right, front and back, there was nothing. Everyone in the restaurant was eating normally. Shi Feiye realized that she was just an assistant screenwriter now and had no vested interests with Zhang Yixin. There was no need for him to plot against her as it would not benefit him.
"Sister Xiaoye, what are you looking at?"
When Zhang Yixin saw Shi Feiye's actions, his eyes flashed. He didn't intend to do anything. He just took the opportunity to get closer to Shi Feiye in the morning when there was nothing to do and few people around. He didn't know the information he needed to find out yet, so he wouldn't do anything now.
He knew very well what Shi Feiye's actions represented. This was the strange thing. How could an assistant screenwriter have such a strong sense of vigilance?
"Nothing, I just feel that there are too few people coming to eat breakfast so early in the morning."
"Oh, that's normal. This hotel is the best here, and it has excellent confidentiality. Only a few important people from our crew are staying here, and the rest of the staff are staying in other hotels. Moreover, people in this industry are used to going to bed late and getting up late. If you want to see everyone, you have to have work arrangements that morning."
Shi Feiye knew all of this, she was just making up an excuse: "Oh, that's what I said, then I'll go back and rest for a while."
"Actually, if Sister Xiaoye is interested in this place, I can take you around first. There aren't many people in the film and television city in the morning."
"No, no, no, you're a big star. It's fine for me to go out alone, but if I go out with you, I might get surrounded by people and even alert the police. Forget it."
"It's not that exaggerated. In fact, in our line of work, unless we want to be recognized intentionally, we generally won't let anyone know our identity. We have many ways of disguise." Zhang Yixin blinked, looking a bit playful, like a boy next door, quite cute.
Unfortunately, Shi Feiye was not interested in celebrities. As long as she didn't want to become a hot topic, she wouldn't get too close to them. "No need. Since I'm fine, I'll go back and rest. I rested quite late last night."
"It seems that Sister Xiaoye usually goes to bed early. She is much more fortunate than us. We have to stay up late all the time, sometimes we don't sleep for two or three days in a row. I see that Sister Xiaoye's skin is in such good condition. She must have a regular schedule, right?"
"It's OK, that's it. If I have inspiration, I'll go to bed late. If I don't have any inspiration, I'll go to bed normally."
Shi Feiye didn't fully realize Zhang Yixin's intention to pry into her, but she was used to being on guard against everyone, so she tried her best not to reveal any personal information during conversation, even her living habits.
Based on this, the two chatted for a while, and the topic went back and forth until Shi Feiye finished his meal and said goodbye to Zhang Yixin and left.
Zhang Yixin looked at Shi Feiye's departing back and had an indescribable feeling in his heart. This Miss Shi was really very tight-lipped. The two of them had been talking for such a long time, but he didn't hear a single useful word. If this didn't prove that her background was unusual, then how else could it be explained?
At this age, she has never been on a film crew or in the entertainment industry, but she is so familiar with the situation in this circle and crew. Unless someone has told her, I don’t know whether it was a friend who reminded her in advance or a family member who revealed the rules to her in advance.
Returning to his room, Zhang Yixin called his agent and asked, "Have you found out anything about that Miss Shi?"
"No, we didn't find out anything. This is the strangest thing. No matter what you think, the fact that we can't find out anything already speaks volumes. You'd better not have anything to do with them. Just be friendly with them on the surface. Don't do anything extreme. Don't ruin your life because of your lower body."
On the other end of the phone, the agent was a mature woman, with a warning in her voice:
"Also, don't forget your own status. Mr. Jiang has been in a bad mood recently. You'd better behave yourself. If you are interested, go and coax him. Don't anger him, or you will suffer in the end. Do you think Mr. Jiang doesn't know what you did before? He is just pampering you and he only cares about you when you get angry with him. If you keep being cold and reserved, there will be more than one or two young handsome men trying to get close to him."
Hearing the words "Mr. Jiang", Zhang Yixin smiled sarcastically, but his voice was gentle: "Mr. Jiang is angry with me, how dare I get close to him, but I know what I am doing, I will contact him if I need to. Sister Feng, I know you care about me, don't worry, I won't joke about my future."
"Alas, I know you are unhappy, but there is no one who has not been wronged in life. It is good enough to be rewarded for being wronged. There are many people who suffer in vain, and their lives are even more frustrated and sad. So, don't be too pretentious when you can seize the opportunity."
"How could I not understand this? But I have nothing to begin with. If I don't even have a little dignity, then I really have no value. Sister Feng, you must know this."
"Of course I know that, but you have to grasp the right timing and not let your temper turn into being ungrateful. After all, you don't have any bargaining chips in your hands that can make you ungrateful."
Zhang Yixin's face darkened for a moment, but he still smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Feng, I know that I am very satisfied with my current situation and will naturally cherish it. I know in my heart how good Mr. Jiang is to me."
"That's good. Don't provoke the wrong people. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, no one will be able to protect you." Sister Feng finally reminded:
"I have lived for so many years and have seen a lot of things in this industry, but I have never seen a few businessmen do business that loses money, let alone offend someone they shouldn't offend for the sake of someone they are interested in for a moment. In the eyes of powerful businessmen, only interests and money will never betray themselves, and emotions are nothing but clouds."
"I know. Thanks for the reminder, Sister Feng."
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'm hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yixin held the phone, the sarcastic smile on his face getting bigger and bigger, until he even laughed out loud. He suddenly stopped talking, still in a sarcastic tone:
"What's the point of provoking or not provoking? If it's something that we both agree on, then there's no point in provoking."
Shi Feiye was a rare person he was truly interested in. He was not one of those people who had entangled with him simply because he was unhappy. Since he was interested in her, he certainly couldn't let her go. If the other party really had no interest in him in the end, then he would let it go. Otherwise, as long as the other party had the slightest interest in him, he would not let go. As for the others, hum, he didn't believe anyone could do anything to him.
