Chapter 67 Four Big Boss New Guests
Jiang Ning didn't notice that Jiang Qing's eyes were about to cramp. After hearing what Director Li said, she thought for a moment and politely refused.
"My acting skills and status are not yet good enough to star in Director Li's film. Thank you Director Li for inviting me. I hope we can have the opportunity to work together in the future."
This made Director Li feel a little regretful, but Jiang Ning's words made sense. He hadn't seen Jiang Ning's performance yet. On the one hand, he invited her out of gratitude for Jiang Ning's heartfelt words, and on the other hand, he was confident in his ability to train actors' acting skills.
But status is still important in the circle. If he lets Jiang Ning, a newcomer, play a role with a brilliant personality, it will easily cause some unnecessary public opinion. That is not thanking Jiang Ning, but harming her.
These thoughts echoed in Director Li's mind. There was a hint of apology in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Ning. Thinking of the next project at hand, he spoke with spirit.
"This movie has a special theme, so it's a bit troublesome. But I have another movie on hand, which is about the Republic of China. I'll have someone send you the script when I get back. If you like it, give me a chance to work with you."
Jiang Ning naturally agreed happily. After the two thanked each other, Jiang Ning was sent back to the Lu family by Jiang Qing, and the two directors took a car back together.
In the car, Jiang Qing congratulated Jiang Ning on having Director Li's connections, and said that his future career would be much smoother. Then he mentioned that he was going to record "Let's Travel Together" tomorrow and secretly told Jiang Ning.
"I heard there are some big names on this variety show. I don't know how the director got them on the show."
Jiang Qing sighed as he spoke.
"I hope she's not too hard to please, otherwise this variety show won't be an experience at all, and I'll just be being ordered around like a servant."
Jiang Ning leaned back in the chair, and a lazy voice came from her after she had eaten.
"If you can't get along, then just stay away from him. This is your first time as a human being, why should you give in to him?"
Jiang Qing felt that it was right, so he stopped worrying about it. He stepped on the accelerator, sent Jiang Ning home, and then went back.
...
Monday came in a flash, and Jiang Ning arrived at the recording location in a nanny car.
The fourth episode was recorded in a resort, which is also a famous resort for the rich. The director chose this as the recording location because he wanted the audience to have a glimpse into the world of the rich.
The budget for this episode is obviously much higher. Even their rooms are no longer the tents that several people lived in before. Instead, each person has his or her own room with a sea view. They can also have a seafood buffet every day. It's simply luxurious.
Because of the live broadcast, the program team arranged for them to stay in an independent small villa. After putting their suitcases in the living room, everyone looked at the four new guests and were a little curious about why the director invited so many guests at once.
In particular, these guests were indeed of very high status, just as Jiang Qing had inquired about.
A martial arts superstar Cui Yangqian, an international film queen Xu Yumin, a technology upstart Zheng Yong, and a Huaguo historian Liu Yuqing, none of them has a low status.
But this kind of combination, coming to their variety show which was originally rated only A+, is a bit confusing.
Jiang Ning and the others couldn't figure it out, and the director behind the monitor was even more confused.
He had no idea how these big names were willing to condescend to come on his small variety show. Anyway, when the director was trying hard to persuade an idol to come on the show, and was telling lies with difficulty, saying that the feng shui of their show was really not bad and would not let the idol's reputation fall apart for no reason, the company gave him several contracts.
The contract signed personally by these four bosses had a penalty of 10 billion yuan.
At that time, the director was wondering when their company became so unscrupulous. Moreover, the penalty for breach of contract was so ridiculously high, could it have any legal effect?
Also, is there something wrong with the eyes of these four big guys? They are actually willing to sign.
However, the company president told him not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask, and not to care about what happened on the show and not to cut off the live broadcast.
The director's heart was pounding. He always felt that these four people had provoked some untouchable existence, and they had to deal with them, so they sent them to their show.
Family members know their own business. The director has just renewed Jiang Ning's contract for this season's variety show. With her around, if these four people really have something going on, they're just asking for their lives, okay?
The director looked at Jiang Ning on the monitor, wondering if Jiang Ning could still perform stably against these four big guys in this episode.
Jiang Ning didn't know that the director had high expectations of her. She was drinking a sponsored yogurt while sitting between Tang Li and Jiang Qing. After watching the four new guests look around the villa with disdain, she sat uncomfortably on the sofa.
"This villa is still too small. Is Yaoxing going to go bankrupt? They let us live in a place like this. The villa is small and there are so many people living in it. I'm afraid we won't be able to move around." Cui Yangqian said with disgust on his face, leaning on the sofa with a listless look.
Cui Yangqian is a martial artist after all, and he looks quite handsome, but even with makeup on, there is still a faint blue color on his face, and his whole body seems to be drained of energy, and he looks skinny and bony, which gives people a bad first impression.
Jiang Ning took a sip of yogurt and glanced at Cui Yangqian's shiny bald head, as if thinking about something.
"It's really small. I think the king-sized apartment in the center of the resort is pretty good. It's barely suitable for our status. But the director is in a difficult position. Since he has arranged for us to stay here, he must really be out of funds. We should give him this face."
International film queen Xu Yumin wore a dark green cheongsam and sat there, speaking softly and gently, but her words were not as kind as she appeared.
In fact, both of them have been public figures active in front of the camera for more than 20 years, so they naturally know the art of speaking. However, Cui Yangqian and Xu Yumin have made enough money now and are in a semi-retired state. Sometimes they only attend award ceremonies held in Rose Country, and most of the time they just go out to have fun.
This time, the two had just returned to China, and the company secretly signed this unreasonable contract, forcing them to participate in this variety show. They were both people who had enjoyed a glorious life for most of their lives, and being forced to come to this small variety show, they were so angry that they couldn't suppress it, so how could they control their emotions?
Jiang Qing frowned and whispered into Jiang Ning's ear.
"You're just picking on them. They're superstars, sure, but is there any need to be so disdainful? This villa isn't so small that they can't live there."
Jiang Ning nodded, complaining in his heart.
[Everyone has a room in the villa, and there are still vacancies. You are not a crab, so how can there be no room for you to stay or move around?]
Cui Yangqian: “…”
Xu Yumin's face also looked ugly.
The two men looked at Jiang Ning with unwavering eyes. Jiang Ning was sucking the yogurt vigorously and was considering whether to lick the lid. She didn't notice that they were staring at her at all, nor did she feel any pressure.
"It seems that this show is not only poor, but the guests are also not that good."
Jiang Ning, who was sitting there peacefully, suddenly felt like she was kicked. She blinked and met Xu Yumin's mean face.
Jiang Ning lost all his appetite when he saw the disgusting melon in the melon-eating system. He reluctantly threw the yogurt bottle into the trash can. He didn't speak to Xu Yumin, but asked Tang Li next to him.
"Sister Ning Qiu announced on Weibo where she was working on the project. I think Teacher Xu really needs the address of the hospital."
No one wants to be told that they are old, especially someone like Xu Yumin who is addicted to plastic surgery, has used many disgusting folk remedies, and is extremely demanding of her face.
When Xu Yumin heard this, her expression became even worse, and her face looked even more mean.
Tang Li suppressed the corners of her mouth and said.
"The doctor who performed the project on Sister Ning Qiu at the Plastic Surgery Hospital in City C is very popular right now. If you go to make an appointment, the appointment number has been booked until the second half of the year."
