Hearing that it was tea, Lin Que did not refuse.
He had been busy all day and hadn't had time to drink water. His throat was parched. A glass of water appeared in front of him, and he picked it up and took a big gulp.
Ding Ying casually found a seat and started chatting with him: "How long has it been since we last met? It must have been two or three years. I remember when I first met you, you had only been in the industry for a short time. Even though you hadn't been in the industry for long, your first movie was a Hollywood blockbuster. At that time, I had finally managed to get a small supporting role, and that's how we met. I never expected that you would reach the peak right from the start and now you're an Oscar winner."
Thinking back on the past, Ding Ying's face was full of nostalgia: "Now that I think about it, your first movie was also a collaboration with me. I feel proud to say that."
One of the reasons Ding Ying has remained popular is because of Lin Que.
Lin Que's first film was a Hollywood blockbuster. At that time, he was a newcomer and although he didn't get the lead role, he was still a significant supporting actor.
It's important to know that Hollywood blockbusters are extremely selective in casting, and it's even harder for Chinese actors to be chosen. Ding Ying was already a near-A-list actress at the time, but she only got a minor role with just a dozen seconds of screen time, while Lin Que was cast as the second male lead.
In the following years, Lin Que seemed to have a cheat code activated, with various movies being released one after another, causing a huge uproar in the Chinese entertainment industry. In particular, when he overcame all obstacles and won the Oscar for Best Actor, he brought great honor to the Chinese people.
Ding Ying's team is also very clever. They know how to use the hype, but they don't do it too obviously. They subtly convey the idea that Oscar-winning actor Lin Que's first movie after his debut was with Ding Ying!
Listening to the boasting of her fans, someone who didn't know better would think Ding Ying was the female lead.
As soon as Ding Ying started talking, she began reminiscing about the past, talking about how they were filming back then, and so on and so forth.
Lin Que interrupted in a very straightforward manner: "We didn't exchange more than five sentences back then."
Ding Ying only had a few seconds of screen time back then, and filming wrapped up in less than a morning. She was lucky to have helped Lin Que, but the two were not really close.
"..." The atmosphere she had painstakingly created was ruthlessly interrupted by Lin Que, leaving Ding Ying somewhat embarrassed.
Lin Que glanced at her and said, "You don't need to try to build a relationship with me. Given our status, we probably won't be able to work together in the future."
It's pointless to climb it.
"..." Ding Ying's expression darkened even further.
Although she didn't want to admit it, it was the truth. With her current abilities, she didn't even have a name in Hollywood, so how could she possibly work with Lin Que, who was sitting on the throne of Best Actor?
After being relentlessly criticized by Lin Que, Ding Ying finally gave up on bringing up the past and changed the subject: "Do you know how Nie Xue is doing now?"
"..."
Ignoring Lin Que's expression, Ding Ying continued, "I think she's quite pitiful. It's not easy for a young girl to work hard outside. Some of her words were unintentional and not meant to be. Your team is indeed a bit too domineering. They were just trying to create a scandal with you. A little lesson is enough. There's no need to blacklist her, really."
"Heh." Lin Que sneered, "Are you accusing me?"
"I……"
"You dare to challenge me?"
"..."
An old woman who doesn't go to a nursing home to enjoy her retirement instead meddles in other people's business. It seems she has no future to take on, so we've kept her idle!
