Chapter 22 Investor Sister
The fact proved that the director was right to ask Jiang Ning to stay for the audition.
Jiang Ning ate the melon happily, and the director and Jiang Qing also eliminated many hidden dangers for the crew.
So for the entire afternoon, the auditorium was filled with Jiang Ning's cries of joy.
[Don't be fooled by the gentle image this classmate has now. She's actually a heavy smoker and alcoholic. Back when she was a little gangster, she was also known for bullying. This was exposed by paparazzi after the crew was disbanded due to the fallout. The crew became known as a den of iniquity, with no main characters and few good people.]
The director wiped his sweat, drew a big cross on the name, and looked at Jiang Ning as if he was a benefactor. He also transferred money to the assistant and bought a lot of snacks and milk tea for Jiang Ning, treating her as the benefactor of the crew and serving her well.
Jiang Ning felt puzzled, but it would be a waste to leave the food there, so she continued eating the melon while eating snacks and drinking milk tea.
The students who came in for the interview later saw a pile of snacks in front of Jiang Ning, and then looked at the director and the others, who had only a bottle of water in front of them. The contrast was so stark that everyone was confused.
Could it be that Jiang Ning is the real financial sponsor?
Before they could think about whether to please Jiang Ning, the suspected financial sponsor, a string of thoughts fell into their ears, and their hair stood on end, and all thoughts were gone.
This guy is pretty good. He has a great voice and has composed a few original songs. Everyone who's heard them says they're good. His acting is also pretty good. If he joins the crew, we might be able to save some money on the OST.
Director: Can it save money? Then you must sign it!
Jiang Qingze wrote down the name and planned to ask the company's agent to contact him to sign it.
[This young lady has great makeup skills and can even change her voice. You can't tell she's a girl at all.]
The director rubbed his eyes as he looked at the handsome boy in front of him with a flushed face who was interviewing for the second male lead. He really couldn't tell that it was a girl.
But no matter whether she is a man or a woman, as long as she has good acting skills and no negative information, she will pass the test, the director thought numbly.
When it was the female lead's turn, Jiang Ning sat up a little straighter. The director thought this was another one that would fail, and waited anxiously. After Lin Mian finished her audition segment, Jiang Ning's thoughts didn't show up, and she even applauded. Only then did the director let go of his worries and put a check mark behind Lin Mian's name.
After half a day of interviews, everyone was very satisfied, except for the male and female protagonists who were on pins and needles, and the audition classmates who heard gossip about them from time to time and had to be helped out by the staff with pale faces.
The director looked at the male and female protagonists who were afraid to speak and sighed in his heart.
It’s so difficult to finally find the male and female protagonists again, and also to deal with the companies and fans behind them.
Jiang Qing didn't think this was a big problem.
"The fact that they dare to act so recklessly shows that they weren't good people in the past. Their company must have known about it, but they just turned a blind eye to the fact that the truth was not exposed because they could make more money."
"Here's how, you arrange a meal with Zhou Yue and Yang Baifeng's agent. With Jiang Ning around, they'll agree to let the artist withdraw from the production after receiving the compensation."
If Jiang Ning's heart revealed any more illegal activities of the company behind them, they would not dare to stay in the crew and would run away without stopping.
The director thought about it and realized, why should he be worried? He hadn't done anything wrong. The ones he should be worried about were Zhou Yue and Yang Baifeng, who had the knife hanging over their necks!
Jiang Ning, who didn't know what they were thinking yet, went to the hotel with them after going to the bathroom. She saw that apart from the male and female protagonists and their respective agents, there were only the director and Jiang Qing. Jiang Ning felt that it didn't look harmonious for her, the fifth female lead, to sit there, and she began to doubt the purpose of the crew's dinner party.
She glanced at Jiang Qing, who was sitting in the main seat and eating elegantly with a calm expression on her face, but her mind was full of guesses.
[Could it be that the investor lady likes pretty girls like me, and the director wants me to spend a beautiful and harmonious night with her to please her?]
The male and female protagonists' agents glared.
Ah? Jiang Qing is still good at this?
For the sake of her artist's future, Yang Baifeng's female agent gritted her teeth, looked up and gave Jiang Qingfei a wink.
"Mr. Jiang, I respect you. I hope you will take good care of our Baifeng in the future."
Jiang Qing was disgusted by the flirtatious eyes and frowned. Then he looked at the female agent's heavily made-up face trying to force a flattering smile. Jiang Qing didn't even raise his wine glass and said coldly.
"My crew won't leave any fatal black spots, male or female protagonists who ruin the project and make me lose money. I called you here today to discuss their withdrawal from the crew."
This sentence made the two agents, who had no idea what was going on, dumbfounded.
They didn't notice that their artist lowered his head guiltily, they just stood up and said angrily.
"Our artist is fine, there is no black spot, why does he have to quit the group?"
"Mr. Jiang, you're not going to let our artists take the blame just for some unfounded gossip, are you? If you're like that, which artist would dare to participate in a project you've invested in?"
Jiang Qing took a sip of red wine and said calmly, "You know better than me whether the artists you manage have any black material on their hands. You can still maintain your dignity by taking the money and leaving now. If you confront the Jiang family head-on, I don't think you want to see the consequences."
Thinking of the power of the Jiang family, the two agents trembled, but the news of their artists participating in this drama has been released to fans, and many netizens also know about it. If it is rejected at this time, who knows how much ridicule will be caused.
They looked at each other and were about to deny the negative information about the artist when a voice came into their ears.
[So the investors already knew about Zhou Yue and Yang Baifeng's negative information at this point? There are clues, though.]
Zhou Yue has a strong desire to control Yang Baifeng. Although they broke up three years ago, she still doesn't allow the opposite sex to get close to Yang Baifeng. Over the past few years, she has used various means to deal with women, including throwing sulfuric acid, threatening them with secret photos, and encouraging fans to open blind box games.
[Among them, there are many victims who have complained online and reported to the police, but just like Pei Jingming's former assistant, they have been unable to get Zhou Yue the punishment she deserves.]
[The same goes for the fans Yang Baifeng threatened. They posted evidence online, but it was all suppressed. The investor lady is so wealthy, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find evidence if she was willing.]
The two agents who still have to help the artists stay in the crew are now sweating profusely along with the artists.
When he met the director's gaze of "Are you still being stubborn?", he couldn't wipe away the cold sweat on his dark red face.
He just forced himself to look at Jiang Ning and argued.
"Which company's artist are you from? We at Baifeng are very clean, so why would we be so rude—"
"Yes, our Zhou Yue is a kind person. I don't know how many things she has donated to remote mountainous areas. How could she possibly do such a thing—"
The two were silenced at the same time. They stared with their eyes wide open and tried to continue talking, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make any sound. In the end, they could only stare at Jiang Ning in frustration.
Jiang Ning looked at him innocently, laughing in her heart.
["The self-disciplined Yang Baifeng," "the kindhearted Zhou Yue"? What kind of a joke is this?]
[Not to mention Yang Baifeng's filthy appearance, Zhou Yue did donate supplies to the mountainous areas, but those supplies were seriously inconsistent with the publicity, and were substandard products that rotted in the wash. Can this be considered kindness? Aren't there countless living saints in this world?]
After Jiang Ning finished complaining, she looked up and saw that Zhou Yue, Yang Baifeng and the two agents were all staring at her as if they wanted to eat her. Jiang Ning asked the director in confusion.
"What's wrong with them? Is there something wrong with their eyes?"
The director tried hard to suppress his laughter, "Something must be wrong, otherwise he wouldn't be lying with his eyes open."
The dinner ended with Zhou Yue and Yang Baifeng fleeing dejectedly with their respective agents, while Jiang Ning was reportedly taken back to the Lu family by Jiang Qing.
Before getting off the car, Jiang Qing spoke in an apologetic tone.
"Did that idiot Qi Junzhe cause you trouble on the show?"
There were too many melons today. Jiang Ning, who hadn't had time to look at Jiang Qinggua, looked confused. She didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned Qi Junzhe, the old bacon.
Facing Jiang Ning's puzzled gaze, Jiang Qing explained.
"Qi Junzhe is an artist under Jiang's company."
Jiang Ning suddenly understood.
[Oh, so the investor lady is the legitimate sister of Qi Junzhe's illegitimate daughter and the only biological daughter of that guy named Jiang's father.]
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning secretly counted and realized that in just a few days since she came to this world, she had already been cheated on by three people. She couldn't help but sigh that the netizens' jokes were right.
Men, no matter what age, will only be honest if they are hung on the wall.
Jiang Qing smiled when he heard his inner voice.
Her father is indeed a "Hulk".
"Qi Junzhe will not be participating in the next episode."
"Are you rushing to attend to other announcements?" The time for Qi Junzhe to collapse has not yet come.
Jiang Qing shook his head, opened the car door, half of his face hidden in the darkness, and said lightly.
"Some people who do wrong should pay the price for what they do, right?"
