The director is also an experienced person in the circle. When he heard what the agent said, he knew where the problem lay.
"Actor Qin is really brave. The entertainment industry is like a magnifying glass, which will magnify most people's shortcomings. Fortunately, our show is not live, so we can only edit the footage when the time comes." The director pondered for a moment, then looked at the agent, "Why don't you invite an amateur? Didn't you persuade Actor Qin?"
As soon as he heard his agent's description, he was not very excited about tomorrow's filming. However, the other party was Qin Xiuchen's man, and even if the director was not excited, he could not do anything about Qin Xiuchen.
Who made the hype of the show known? It was the first time that Actor Qin came to a reality show, and most people came for his fame.
"In fact, I don't agree with Xiaoling filming. It's not good for the growth of children. Netizens are so harsh nowadays. If they don't perform well in one shot, they will hold it against them." The agent took another sip of beer and sighed. "Fortunately, his niece will only be in the role for a few days. We will replace her when Xiaoling's sprain heals."
The agent put down the empty beer can as he spoke. Actor Qin was worried that his niece was aloof and ignored people, so how could he let go of this opportunity?
It is impossible to ask him to give up and change players voluntarily.
He now has a filter in his eyes and feels that there is no one in the world who would dislike his nephews and nieces.
Most importantly, Actor Qin still wants to bring his nephews and nieces to join the program crew for some fun.
The director drummed his fingers on the table, narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally decided: "Let's shoot like this first, and we'll re-sign the contract in a few days."
...
...
Let's just get through these few days first. If the shooting situation is really bad, we can invite amateurs then. I'm sure that Actor Qin will not refuse.
By then, even if Qin Xiuchen didn't care, he would still think about his niece.
After the agent discussed with the director, he took the contract and left. He pinched his brows and returned to his room worriedly. He was not optimistic about the strange combination of Qin Ran and Qin Xiuchen.
After the agent left, the director finished the rest of the beer and went to discuss with the rest of the director team.
Because of Qin Ling's matter, the assistant director had just fallen asleep and was awakened by the director. Hearing the director's words, he sat up suddenly, "His niece? In college? This is not a child as young as Qin Ling. Netizens are malicious towards children, let alone such a big person. What does Qin Yingdi want to do?"
The assistant director frowned. The chief director was so cautious. It seemed that the niece of Emperor Qin would cause a lot of trouble for the program team.
He originally thought that Qin Xiuchen's joining this time would add a lot of popularity to the program team, but now it seems that it will cause a lot of trouble.
"Actor Qin's agent just came to me and told me about this," the director groaned for a moment, "I'll be following the filming tomorrow. You should pay attention to the split screen in the studio. If you see anything that doesn't look good, just ask the cameraman to cut it off."
"Also, Emperor Qin attaches great importance to his niece, so don't try to use her to stir up trouble." Qin Xiuchen is not someone you can easily mess with.
The assistant director said with a headache; "I know."
This matter is really troublesome.

Another house in the town below the mountain.
Cheng Mu had just come out of the shower.
His five senses were very sharp now. As soon as he opened the bathroom door, he heard the roar of a helicopter above his head.
Cheng Mu didn't even wipe his hair, he just took his coat and went downstairs towards the yard. As soon as he came down, he saw a helicopter parked in the yard.
The door of the helicopter was opened, and a dark figure jumped down lightly. He straightened his clothes and glanced at Cheng Mu who was going downstairs, his eyelashes slightly lowered, "Why is it you?"
The tone was neither cold nor indifferent.
Cheng Mu heard the disdain: "..."
The person who came down from the helicopter was Cheng Juan. Cheng Juan didn't even look at him and walked directly into the house. Only one room upstairs had the light on. He squinted his eyes slightly: "Miss Qin is asleep?"
He asked Cheng Mu.
Cheng Mu was looking at the helicopter parked in the yard. This was the nth time he had seen Mr. Juan's helicopter, but he still didn't understand. Didn't Yuncheng and City C have a no-fly order?
As soon as he and Qin Ran got off the plane, they saw the helicopter that came to pick them up.
Otherwise, with such a difficult mountain road, he and Qin Ran would not have been able to arrive in such a short time.
"Ah, no." Cheng Mu heard Cheng Juan's question before he figured it out. He followed Cheng Juan and answered respectfully, "Miss Qin sent a message an hour ago. She will stay at her uncle's place. It seems that she will help her brother record a few shows."
Cheng Juan, who was walking in front at a leisurely and calm pace, suddenly stopped.
Cheng Mu, who was following closely behind, braked quickly, realized that something was wrong, shut his mouth, and didn't dare to say anything else.
"Go on." Cheng Juan glanced at him, casually took out a cigarette from his pocket, a thin puff of smoke rising into the air, and spoke calmly.
Cheng Mu was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"
Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes lazily, "Where is her uncle?"
Cheng Mu finally reacted. He exclaimed, took out his phone, opened it to chat with Qin Ran on WeChat, and handed the phone to Cheng Juan to see the location on it.
Cheng Juan took the phone directly and walked out the door without looking at Cheng Mu.
"Master Juan——"
Cheng Mu froze in place, the rest of his words were blown away by the wind: "You haven't returned my phone yet..."
**
Hotel at the foot of the mountain.
After Qin Ling took a shower and fell asleep on the bed, Qin Xiuchen knocked on Qin Ran's door with the contract.
Inside the room, Qin Ran was wearing a nightgown, with her hair loose and not dried yet. She turned sideways and said crisply, "Come in."
It was so late, and Qin Xiuchen didn't go in. He just stood at the door and said in a steady tone: "Xiao Ling said you wanted to film a variety show together..."
“Let’s play for a few days. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of him later.” He didn’t go in, and Qin Ran didn’t care. She just glanced into the room and continued to dry her hair leisurely.
"How can it be troublesome to take care of him?" Qin Xiuchen handed her a document, and seemed to be relieved, and his tone was much more relaxed. "This is the specific arrangement of tomorrow's show. There is no script, and there is no character setting. You can play freely. There will be several other artists at that time. I will introduce them to you tomorrow."
Qin Ran held the towel on her head with one hand, took the document with the other hand, and said to him politely: "Okay."
Qin Xiuchen nodded slightly, "If you have any questions, feel free to call me. This is your first time recording a show, so you may not be used to it..."
“It’s twelve o’clock. You should go to bed early because you have to get up early tomorrow.” He stood at the door and gave Qin Ran a few more instructions before leaving.
Qin Ran watched him leave before closing the door and returning to her room. She threw the documents in her hand onto the table and did not go back to the bathroom to blow dry her hair. Instead, she walked to the window and opened the curtains.
The windowsill was about 20 to 30 centimeters wide, and there was a person sitting lazily on it, with his hands on the windowsill, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. There was a faint glow of fire in the darkness, and his legs were swinging slowly.
Qin Ran opened the window with a swish and threw the towel at him: "Sure, Master Juan, you can even climb up like this."
Qin Xiuchen's room is on the third floor and has no anti-theft windows.
"Not bad," Cheng Juan pushed himself in with his hands, not ashamed but proud, "The uncle at the door said that the hotel was booked by someone, I didn't argue with him for your uncle's sake."
After coming in, he looked for the ashtray and put out the cigarette.
The towel in his hand was half wet, and the room temperature was not high. Cheng Juan walked around the room, found the air conditioner remote control, turned up the temperature by two degrees, threw the remote control aside, and looked around the room.
The hotel at the foot of the mountain is not big, only about ten square meters, just enough for a bed and a table.
With a few more people, the room would seem crowded.
There is a heater not far away.
The wardrobe is made of wood and painted white, but the paint has fallen off the handles.
Everything is very old, the bed sheets and quilt covers should have been changed by the crew themselves.
"The room is too small and smells musty..." After doing all this, Master Cheng began to criticize the house from beginning to end. Only after he had criticized it from beginning to end did he feel a little better: "What did you eat tonight?"
Qin Ran sat down at the table and began to look at the documents Qin Xiuchen had given her for tomorrow’s schedule. Without even raising her head, she said, “Lunch boxes for the crew.”
Just turned the page.
It suddenly became dark above my head.
Cheng Juan walked around and fetched a clean towel from the bathroom. He raised his leg and kicked a chair over nonchalantly, then sat down next to Qin Ran. He put the towel over her head with one hand and wiped off the remaining moisture in an unprofessional manner.
At the end, he frowned and said, "Your crew is so poor."
Qin Ran's heart skipped a beat. "What do you want to do?"
"I am," Cheng Juan lowered his head, resting his chin on her shoulder, his head hanging on the side of her neck, and lowered his voice, "Go to the provincial capital hotel. The helicopter will reach the top of the mountain in less than an hour."
Qin Ran: “…”
There are so many people in the crew, and every morning there is a long line of helicopters...
Are you sure the director won’t be scared to death?
She took the towel off her head expressionlessly and pressed it on his face again.
**
The next morning.
Qin Ran got up at six o'clock. As soon as she woke up, she received a text message from Cheng Mu. He was downstairs and brought breakfast.
She didn't wear a coat, just a white sweatshirt and a hat, and went downstairs directly to get a big lunch box.
Qin Ran didn't wear a mask, but a hat that covered most of her face. There were many fans waiting outside at this time. When they saw that it was a strange figure coming out, they squatted back without interest.
The lunch box that Cheng Mu handed to Qin Ran was the one commonly used in the school clinic and could hold three layers.
There were three large portions of breakfast inside. She did not return to her room. Instead, she knocked on Qin Xiuchen's door first, took out two portions for them, and then returned to her room.
Qin Xiuchen took the lunch box back to the room and took a look. He originally thought it was breakfast bought on the street in the small town, but when he opened it, he found that the snacks inside were very beautifully made.
It looks like the food was made by a five-star chef, and it also contains some seasonal fruits, which is very fresh.
Qin Xiuchen looked at the lunch box, frowned, and glanced outside the door before calling Qin Ling to get up.
It's half past six now and the program crew has already started recording.
There are three pairs of guests in total, Qin Xiuchen, a popular film queen, and a new young actress. There are only three starting stars, and various popular guests will be added later.
Among these three people, Qin Xiuchen is half as famous.
Behind each person there are several assigned photographers and assistants.
Today's schedule states that the production team will film the celebrities and their relatives waking up.
Before the recording, the program director directly found the cameraman who was filming Qin Xiuchen's group and instructed him, "Just film Actor Qin later. There's no need to film his partner getting up."
The photographer was stunned, "No need to take pictures?"
"Yes, in the following process, we should shoot less with Actor Qin's partner and more with Actor Qin alone." In order to avoid offending Qin Xiuchen, the director decided to cut off his relative's shots at the source. "Actor Qin's partner is his niece. She is not from the industry and does not understand many things. If there are mistakes during the shooting, try not to film them."
He still hasn't seen what the niece of Actor Qin looks like. Although Qin Xiuchen's agent said that she looks okay and photogenic, the director is in no mood to watch her.
There are many good-looking people in the entertainment industry.
He felt that the next few days would be difficult to endure.
After listening to this, the photographer nodded. He thought for a moment and said, "I know, but I'm not the only photographer taking photos. Others are taking photos too."
The director can't greet every photographer. If one of them leaks it, who knows what people on the Internet will say.
"It depends on the situation." The director pressed his temple with a headache and waved his hand to ask the photographer to quickly take pictures of Actor Qin's room.
**
at the same time.
Second floor.
In the room of the film queen Jingwen, her agent also received the news that Qin Xiuchen had replaced the guest with a new one.
"Jingwen, that's the niece of Mr. Qin, who likes her very much," the agent gave Jingwen a heads-up in advance. "She's not from the same industry as Xiaoling, so her performance on camera may not be very good, similar to Xiaoling. Please help her cover it up."
"He has a niece?" Jing Wen is 31 years old this year. She has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and high-end facial features. She has won numerous awards at home and abroad. She is a rare person in the circle who has both good looks and acting skills. She has been friends with Qin Xiuchen for many years. "I haven't heard him say that."
"I heard that his niece and her family were lost when they were young, and they were found just a few days ago, so his agent asked me to help." The photographer outside was already knocking on the door, and the agent said, "I don't know what's the point of filming a show like this. I don't know what Mr. Qin is thinking..."
As he spoke, he opened the door, stepped out of the camera, and signaled Jingwen with his eyes.
Jingwen took the task card from the program team calmly, "Let's go to the foot of the mountain first? You directors must be causing trouble again. I'm going to talk to my old friend. I can't let you directors mess with me today."
She walked up the stairs to the third floor, and Qin Xiuchen just happened to go out with a task card in his hand.
"Mr. Qin," Jing Wen clasped her fists towards Qin Xiuchen, her tone very serious: "Are we forming an alliance today?"
"Did your cousin agree?" Qin Xiuchen patted his sleeves calmly.
Jingwen's partner is her cousin, but she doesn't care too much: "He thinks I'm slow in putting on makeup, so he took my camera to the foot of the mountain first. You're his idol, so he'll definitely agree."
Qin Ling limped out of the house and asked, "Sister Jingwen, are you here to use my uncle's camera?"
"..." Jing Wen pointed at Qin Ling's feet and said, "Everything goes around in circles, brother."
The director in the crowd: “…”
And this chemical reaction? ?
"So you want to form an alliance with me?" Jing Wen looked at Qin Xiuchen again, determined to carry out the alliance to the end.
Qin Xiuchen didn't answer, but walked to Qin Ran's door and said as a matter of course: "Wait, let me ask my niece."
A bunch of cameras were pointed at the door of Qin Ran's room.
The director had already planned for Qin Ran to have almost no scenes, and the staff also knew that. But now Qin Xiuchen did not follow the schedule and actually asked Qin Ran to leave the scene right away. The staff lip-synced with the director: "What should we do now?"
Qin Xiuchen's niece had never acted in a play or appeared on camera, so the director originally wanted to wait until she met people before talking to her privately about appearing on the show.
He anxiously gestured with his hands, asking Actor Qin not to knock on the door, and finally wrote a sign with the words "Go downstairs" written on it in thick black pen.
However, Qin Xiuchen seemed not to see it and knocked on Qin Ran's door.
Qin Xiuchen was clearly uncooperative, probably because he wanted to give his niece more shots. The director frowned, but with so many cameras around he couldn't interrupt, so he could only cut this scene out in post-production.
Everyone at the scene knew that it was Actor Qin’s niece, and they all looked towards Actor Qin’s door curiously, wondering what his niece looked like.
Qin Ran's door was already open.
A thin white figure walked out.
