9. Join the crew and meet the director
It was already past one in the afternoon when Guan Miao and An Jing returned home after eating hot pot. Seeing that they looked calm and sleepy, Chai Yue knew that they definitely did not go surfing.
"Miaomiao, you're in trouble again."
Chai Yue's words immediately woke up Guan Miao, who was drowsy after eating and drinking. "Ah, what? What's wrong with me?"
"It's about your contract."
Chai Yue brought up two interfaces and said, "You signed with Morning Star, and all the artists under his management have reposted it. Originally, fans of other artists didn't care much, so it's normal to welcome a newcomer.
The bad thing is that their company originally had a pure-type actress named Su Han, who has been striving to become a top star in the past two years, but has never received a suitable script, and her status is so awkward.
Her fans have always been dissatisfied with the company and her team, and it just so happened that Morningstar was welcoming you to sign a contract on a large scale, and you look the same as her.
Therefore, her fans think that you are the second generation Su Han trained by Morning Star, and they also think that Su Han can't get any roles because the company gave you the right resources.
Therefore, her fans are very unhappy and are currently cursing you out of turn. They even made a nine-square grid poster for Chen Xing.
Guan Miao was a little surprised when he heard the last sentence, "What's Su Han's reaction?"
"She's just pretending to be dead. Besides, this was deliberately orchestrated by her team."
"Ah? Why? Doesn't she plan to stay in Morning Star anymore?"
Seeing that she had guessed, Chai Yue nodded immediately, "Yes, she has actually already found a new home. But she was made famous by Morning Star after all, and Morning Star didn't treat her badly in the past few years. Although she wasn't the main promoter, they did give her some good resources.
If she wants to terminate the contract, she must have a suitable excuse. Simply saying that the contract has expired doesn't sound convincing enough."
An Jing, who had always stayed away from entertainment gossip, suddenly spoke up, "So she's trying to use a knife to kill someone, making her fans think she was forced to leave?"
"Yes. Originally, this matter wasn't a big deal, but Zheng Yuan was going to make an official announcement in a couple of days, and I was afraid Su Han would combine these two things to hype them up.
For example, Chenxing gave you the audition opportunity, but she only had the script for an ordinary ancient puppet show. In the eyes of outsiders, Chenxing was bullying her.
Hearing this, Guan Miao remained calm. "If it really doesn't work, let Director Zheng issue a statement. Anyway, on the surface, my audition opportunity was obtained through Senior Xu Ruoming's personal relationship, and it has nothing to do with Chen Xing."
Seeing that she found a solution so quickly, Chai Yue silently applauded in her heart. She had just told this matter to Sister Chi Yi, and she thought the same thing.
"Sister Anjing, didn't you used to dislike getting involved in these gossips? Why are you suddenly interested today?"
An Jing looked at them and said, "I originally thought that as long as I protected Miaomiao's health, it would be fine. But when I really got into the circle, I found that all kinds of calculations were everywhere. Naturally, I have to remember those who have had grudges against you, so that I can better protect you."
"So that's how it is. Sister Anjing, you've worked so hard. I'll give you a big red envelope at the end of the year."
She raised her eyebrows and joked along with Guan Miao's words, "Then I'm going to make our future superstar bleed hard."
"I see. Of course I will give your gifts some careful consideration."
In her heart, Chi Yi, An Jing, Chai Yue and Shuang Shuang are completely different. One is a partner with whom she can confide, while the other can only be considered a friend at best.
Su Han's incident didn't cause much of a stir after all, and by the evening most people's attention was drawn to other news.
After staying at home for two days, Deng Ling brought people from her studio to the villa area to pick her up and take her to the training ground.
"I've already bought and labeled the gifts for the director and the main actors. Remember to give them to them when the time comes. As for the other staff members, I'll make arrangements later.
Senior Xu Ruoming's room is next to yours, so remember to visit her early. After all, we're using her name, and with her around, your life as a newcomer on the crew will be much easier."
Director Zheng’s people might not target her, but it’s hard to say about other artists’ teams and some temporary workers.
Guan Miao nodded and said obediently, "I know. After all, it's good to lean on a big tree for shade. On the set, I will definitely cling to Teacher Xu's thighs."
Seeing how obedient she was, Deng Ling felt a little guilty. Did she lead the child astray?
…
An hour later, the car finally stopped. Chai Yue carried San San and Deng Ling to get the room cards first to check if there was anything unusual in the room, while the others lagged behind.
The main performers and the creative team roughly totaled about 200 people. Zheng Yuan had no shortage of investment, so he booked the rooms on the fifth floor of the hotel.
A511 is Guan Miao’s room number.
When I pushed the door open, I saw that the decoration inside was more like a LOFT style. There were three rooms on each of the upper and lower floors. Although they were of different sizes, they could accommodate quite a few people.
Apart from Lao Li and Zhao Qi, there is more than enough room for the rest of the people to live in.
"Let's divide the rooms first. Guan Miao, An Jing and her cat will share one room, and the rest of us can share as we please."
Faced with Deng Ling's proposal, the others had no objection, and soon each room welcomed its owner.
After almost half an hour of messing around in the hotel, the house finally looked a little lively.
"Zheng Yuan is setting up the scene next door. He sent me the address and said you can go find him when you are free. I'm going to get the gifts. I'll go with you later."
"good!"
At the set three kilometers away, Deng Ling took out her pass and the bodyguard at the door let them in.
"You need a pass to get in. Is the confidentiality really that good?"
"Zheng Yuan doesn't like Reuters. He thinks it lacks mystery, so he is very strict in this regard." Deng Ling said as she asked someone about Zheng Yuan's whereabouts.
When I asked the third person, I found out that Zheng Yuan had gone to the palace group.
This was a difficult situation for the two people who had never been there before. They searched for a long time before they found him.
"Director Zheng, Director Zheng!"
The man wearing a safety helmet and a blue shirt heard the noise, turned around and saw that it was the two of them, then quickly took two safety helmets and walked over.
Guan Miao was about to speak when a hat was stuffed into his hand. "Put on the hat first and then talk."
"oh."
After both of them were properly equipped, Zheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "This place isn't finished yet, and there's often debris falling, so it's safer to wear a hat.
I don’t want to have a bloody atmosphere in the group right from the start.”
After explaining, Zheng Yuan took them around for a while and said, "This will be the scene for court sessions in the future. You'll just be here for a scene."
"Is it the scene where the eldest princess's rebellion failed and I pleaded for her?"
Zheng Yuan nodded. "Looks like the script is completely sorted out?"
"I've finished sorting it all out. I even memorized some of the lines for the character I'm acting opposite."
Seeing her seriousness, Zheng Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you are here to sign the contract today, right? Follow me."
