Chapter 372 Two Bai Qians Fight (6087)
June 21, Xinhao, CBD China World Trade Center.
"Ms. Yang, Mr. Zeng, take care." The two middle-aged men smiled and sent Da Mimi and Zeng Jia to the elevator.
"Okay, Mr. Ming, Mr. Xu, please stay."
Da Mimi, who was wearing a silk dress, bent down and knelt, and waved to the two middle-aged men in their forties in a very humble manner. Then she and Zeng Jia turned around and walked into the elevator.
Seeing the elevator door close, Mr. Ming's expression instantly became uncertain.
"Boss, I don't know who this woman is hooking up with. We had a good talk with CAA, but she took advantage of us at the last minute. I don't know how CAA could agree to let a few such actors get involved." The middle-aged man, whom Da Mimi called Mr. Xu, looked dissatisfied.
"She's quite humble, but her appetite is quite large. Not satisfied with the TV drama business, she's now asking for control of the overseas distribution of Chinese films. She's a complete jerk, but she doesn't even look in the mirror to see if she's worthy enough."
"The CAA is really funny. They actually said they have no objection and let us discuss it ourselves. Fuck! They think they are so popular? I think the ASF hasn't given them enough trouble."
"If it weren't for Wei Zhuyou because of Huang..."
Just as Mr. Xu was about to say something, Mr. Ming's expression changed and he shouted, "Shut up!"
Mr. Xu was startled, looked around and saw that there was no one around, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"If they want overseas distribution, we'll give it to them. Domestic films don't sell well abroad, so we only need to have the domestic distribution rights for imported films and the power to sign sports agency contracts."
"Things are different now. Don't lose the big picture for the sake of the small. Do you understand?"
President Ming scolded him with a sullen face.
There have been many unexpected changes at CAA, and isn't it the same on our side?
"What about the guy named Wu she just mentioned..." After a moment of silence, Mr. Xu asked.
President Ming waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's just a piece of meat that Qi Shichang held up. Now Qi Shichang has taken it away from everyone. She can do whatever she wants. It's not a big deal."
"By the way, although the agreement has been signed, the press conference won't be held until next month. Watch your mouth and don't say anything nonsense, okay?"
Mr. Xu said timidly: "Don't worry, boss, I'm not a talkative person."
——
Haipu, Mercedes-Benz Center.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Chris!!! Look over here!!!"
"Aaaaaaaah!!! Chris!!! I love you!!!"
"Ahhhh!!! Mei Yeping, so handsome!!!"
Mei Yeping, who is not much shorter than Fang Yu, held Liu Feifei's hand, wore sunglasses, and waved to the fans who were present with a cold face, causing another round of screams at the scene.
He is so popular, so popular. Although his reputation is polarized and many men don’t like him, saying that he relies on capital to hype traffic, but... who cares?
In today's world, women are the main consumers in any market.
Your wives, girlfriends, and daughters spend your money to buy the things I endorse, come to my concerts, chase stars in person, top the charts for me, and volunteer to be my water army... What can you do?
They still look down on you, you are still the inferior man in their eyes, even if you are pretty, I just beckon you... hehe...
The girls my cousin brought over last time looked alright in their clothes, but not so much in appearance. Next time, I'll have to ask him to be more strict with the conditions. Not everyone can take advantage of me...
Didn’t that ugly guy named Ma say that what I’m doing is the behavior of a Bodhisattva?
I can’t contact Xiao G recently. This woman is a bit insatiable. She is just a small internet celebrity, but she really thinks she can become my girlfriend?
By the way, we haven’t been able to contact Qi Zhenzhen for such a long time. Could it be true that something happened to her like what that person said?
Never mind her. LV has already been connected, so she doesn’t play a big role anymore. It’s just the right thing to do to avoid her finding fault with me.
However, if this line is broken, Madam Liu and Madam Chen will have to take control...
"Ahhh!!! Yifei is so beautiful!!!"
"Sissi! Sissi!"
The screams of two fans of Liu Feifei interrupted his involuntary fantasies after he was high. Mei Yeping glanced at the two fans through his sunglasses with dissatisfaction, and saw Liu Feifei pursing her lips and smiling and greeting the fans, which made him feel moved.
This woman has never succeeded, so why is she pretending? We are all in the same circle, and everyone knows each other.
No matter whether you are straight or gay, who can be clean in this circle?
Liu Feifei's skin is really good, she doesn't look like she's almost 30 at all. I'll try again later. But this woman has someone behind her, so it's not easy to deal with her.
Da Mimi’s skin was also good some time ago.
Oh, I almost forgot, there is also Da Mimi.
Ai Qianyi cancelled the guarantee with her company. She must be going crazy, right?
Li Xiaolu has revealed your secrets to me a long time ago. Aren't you just relying on those people in the Hong Kong circle to bully others? And you still act like a big sister in front of me. It's ridiculous.
I'm waiting for you to come and beg me with your drum sticking out.
Today is the promotional event for a movie he and Liu Feifei are filming. The film is said to have a shooting period of nearly three months, but the actual shooting time is less than two weeks. It's a terrible movie.
To put it bluntly, the investors never expected this film to really make money.
If you can make money, that’s great, but if you can’t, that’s okay too.
He has the need for exposure, the need to cooperate with Liu Feifei to raise his profile, the investors have the investors' needs, and the director has the director's needs. It's a win-win situation.
The audience loses.
But if you don't want to watch it, isn't that enough? Your girlfriend wants to watch it? That's none of my business. She's not my girlfriend.
Who told you to look for a girlfriend who ran out of Jurassic Park instead of a normal one?
"Hello everyone, I'm Mei Yeping. I play the male lead Cheng Zheng in 'Once a Boy'. Cheng Zheng is a very sincere and kind person, and he's actually quite similar to me."
"Although I don't want to play a role that is too similar to myself, yes, I want to challenge more difficult roles. But because of my upbringing, I haven't really experienced student life in China, which has always been a regret of mine."
"So, I'm grateful to Director Zhang for choosing me to act in this movie and helping me make up for this regret. I'm also grateful to the screenwriter. The role of Cheng Zheng she created is the most comfortable role I've ever played. It's very real, and the plot is very touching. I like it very much."
"'Once Upon a Time' is scheduled to be released on July 8th. I hope everyone can come to the cinema to support our film - Once Upon a Time. Thank you."
Mei Yeping had no idea how many times he had participated in this kind of activity. Now that the excitement had passed and he had returned to normal, when faced with the host's questions, he could come up with some nonsense.
Liu Feifei was in the same situation, but she was more professional than him. She also talked about some behind-the-scenes stories, such as giving him a phone case made of flowers.
When director Zhang Yibai spoke, he heaped praise on Mei Yeping, saying that he played himself, his acting skills met the requirements and he passed the test in one take, he was handsome, dedicated, and polite to everyone in the crew on the set. It was obvious that he came from a good family and was the hope for the future of Da Zhou Film.
Mei Yeping became unhappy when he heard what the director said.
What do you mean by "the future hope of Da Zhou Cinema"? Am I not already half of Da Zhou Cinema? All the best-selling movies of the past two years have had me in them.
Without me, there's no reason for your movie to be a box office hit.
This director is not good. We can’t work with him again in the future.
"I heard from the director that you won't be going to Speak Low tonight?" Mei Yeping was bored and whispered in Liu Feifei's ear with his hand covering his mouth.
Speak Low is a private bar in Haipu. Its gimmick is that it only accepts guests brought in by regular customers. The first floor looks like an ordinary place selling various wine and cultural products, while the second and third floors are the bars. If you want to enter the bar, you must be brought in by regular customers, and the staff will then open the secret passage to let the guests go up to the second floor.
It's set up like some shady places, but it's actually just a gimmick. If you want to go to the third floor, you have to be brought by a regular customer and solve a puzzle.
Mei Yeping has booked tonight's Speak Low and invited the crew and investors.
Liu Feifei was also bored and covered her mouth with her hand: "My mom and I are going to meet a friend tonight. Sorry."
Mei Yeping's eyes lit up, and he remembered some Chinese entertainment online articles he had read a few days ago. As an insider, he found them so funny. Even the emperor used a golden hoe, which was completely the imagination of an amateur.
Many of the female stars in every book are still virgins. How is that possible? No one with even a little bit of intelligence can believe this, right?
But when you think about the plot about Liu Feifei, it's quite exciting.
The words "Let your mother come too" almost came out of my mouth.
No, no, the woman next to me is different from Da Mimi. She really has a backer.
Thinking of this, Mei Yeping took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Da Mimi.
"I'll call you Sister Mi. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. I'll go to Xinhao the day after tomorrow to see how you perform."
Well, very good, I sent it. This woman spoke toughly, but she didn’t dare to block me in reality.
Liu Feifei glanced at Da Mimi's WeChat profile picture on Mei Yeping's phone screen and couldn't help but frown.
"You have a good relationship with her?"
Mei Yeping thought to herself that it was no secret in the circle that Liu Feifei and Da Mimi had a bad relationship.
In Liu Feifei's opinion, I am as quiet as a chrysanthemum, I don't fight or compete, and I have never harmed you. It's too much for you, Da Mimi, to target me everywhere.
Let’s not talk about the past when you sent me black and white photos on my birthday. Let’s talk about now. It was obviously me who accepted the movie version of Love and Destiny first, but you started to play Yu Chaochao’s tricks and rushed to shoot the TV version of Love and Destiny, with two Bai Qians competing against each other. What do you mean?
Anyway, we knew each other when we just debuted, and we were friends before that. You stabbed me in the back. You have such bad character!
But in Da Mimi's opinion, when I just debuted and filmed my first TV series, it was because of you that I was slapped by the director, and you didn't say anything at that time.
I accepted the third installment in the Fairy 3 game, and your navy compared my beautiful photos with my ugly ones, saying that the third installment was not as good as the first installment. They hyped up the idea that you were the fairy sister and I was the maid. You didn't even stand up and say a word, and let your navy drag me down.
How am I worse than you?
In terms of acting, we're about even. In terms of looks, I personally think we're even. In terms of figure, I've got you beat.
The reason why I’m not as famous as you now is because I don’t have a good godfather!
Are you a person as calm as a chrysanthemum, not fighting or competing? Isn't it because someone is competing for you? We are all in this circle, why are you pretending to be a pure lotus?
If you really don’t want to be famous, just quit the circle. Who is stopping you?
Your godfather?
Seeing Liu Feifei's expression, Mei Yeping rolled his eyes and said, "Since you two are not getting along, then it's easy to deal with."
Mei Yeping snorted reservedly, "I met her when we were filming Extinction. She flirted with me a few times, but I ignored her. Now, she told me that she'd come see me when I go back to Xinhao in two days."
Liu Feifei wrinkled her nose and showed a look of disgust on her face.
Mei Yeping was just about to strike while the iron was hot and say something when he heard WeChat ringing.
When he clicked on it, it was a voice message. Mei Yeping was just about to convert the voice message into text, but his hand trembled and the voice chat was played through the speaker.
When he was frantically trying to press the phone again to stop the voice playback, the phone fell to the ground and happened to fall into the corner under the table, making it impossible to reach it.
Other people around, even the reporters in the front row, could hear the voice of Da Mimi on Mei Yeping's phone.
The reporters and crew members on the scene fell silent instantly.
"Hey, I only thought you had a disability in your jaw, but I didn't expect you also had a disability in your brain."
"When your mother gave birth to you, was there too little amniotic fluid, and the umbilical cord was wrapped around your neck, causing you to suffocate and your jaw to stick out forward, and your brain to become impaired? Be good, go to the Disabled Persons' Federation to get a disability assessment. You'll get subsidies, and you can even get half-price admission to tourist attractions. That way, you won't starve to death if you're banned in the future."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This voice is... Yang Mi, right?
Da Mimi's voice is so distinctive that not only entertainment reporters but even ordinary people can recognize it.
Yang Mi sent a WeChat message to scold Mei Yeping!!!
Big news!
What's going on?
Mei Yeping hurriedly crawled under the table to look for his cell phone, but with his height of 1.87 meters, it was really difficult for him to crawl under the table at the press conference to reach the phone stuck in the corner.
Before this message finished playing, Da Mimi sent another voice message and it continued to play automatically.
"I advise you to focus on your business and avoid these crooked ways. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a few followers? It's fine if you're just trying to trick innocent girls, but you're trying to play tricks on me? And you're even using your billions of dollars to pressure me?"
"If you want to pick up girls, go ahead and pick them up, but don't embarrass yourself in front of me. If you harass me again next time, don't blame me for being rude!"
"I forgot to block a fool like you. How shady..."
Before Da Mimi could finish her last word, Mei Yeping finally got his phone and muted the sound.
"Excuse me, Chris, was that Yang Mi just now? Was she sending you a WeChat message?"
"Are you pursuing Yang Mi?"
"Chris, what do you think about Yang Mi's threat to ban you?"
"Mei Yeping, Yang Mi just said that you were putting pressure on her through Ai Qianyi. What's going on?"
"Wu..."
Mei Yeping's eyes were already extremely flustered: "No, it wasn't Yang Mi just now. No, Yang Mi wasn't talking about me... You can't just write nonsense."
Liu Feifei quietly moved the stool to the side, putting a short distance between herself and Mei Yeting.
Mei Yeping's mother and management team were backstage, as were the crew members.
Seeing this, several people wearing baseball caps rushed out from the back, blocking the reporters' cameras and cell phone lenses with their hands to keep the media out, while shouting, "Media friends, cooperate, the press conference is over, the press conference is over, media friends, cooperate, cooperate."
Mei Yeping's mother grabbed Mei Yeping's arm and ran backstage. The agent was directing the staff of the Mercedes-Benz Center to close the door of the conference room.
At this time, we cannot allow the media and self-media to publish random things. We must quickly deal with these bad words.
Liu Feifei's mother also hurried onto the stage and pushed her shoulders as they walked backstage.
We should stay as far away from this kind of thing as possible. Our little fairy sister must not get involved with it.
"Members, I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding today. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
Mei Yeping's cousin smiled widely and showed the prepared speech to the media.
The media present immediately raised their eyebrows as they took it and touched it. What's the meaning? Just for that little bit of information, they want us to suppress such interesting news?
"How can this be all I can offer? It's just a small token of my appreciation. Taozi, hurry up and go to the bank next door and withdraw fifty... no, a hundred. Everyone here today will receive three tokens. Do you think this is enough?"
"Isn't that nice enough? I'm so sorry. We've been working together for such a long time, you can't be too mean..."
Mei Yeping returned to the backstage in shock, and gradually calmed down when he saw the crew and his agency's public relations team handling the problems on the scene with great skill.
Although this kind of thing is rare, it has happened in the entertainment industry. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. As long as it is handled properly and all the media on the scene are dealt with, even if there are some rumors in the end, as long as there is no solid evidence, nothing will happen.
Even if there is solid evidence, the reality-distorting force field of his female fans can make him invincible!
"Hengheng, what's wrong with you? Why did you mess with Yang Mi? Did you know she's a married woman? If there's a scandal, you're done for!"
Mei's mother was so disappointed in him that she pointed at his forehead and started scolding him.
It’s no fun to deal with artists with bad records nowadays. Since the ban was issued two years ago, several artists have been completely banned due to their unethical behavior.
"Yang Mi!" Mei Yeping's eyes were blazing with fire, and he punched the display board standing on the wall hard, making a "bang" sound.
"You are not allowed to have any contact with that woman in the future. Do you hear me?" Mei's mother frowned and scolded her prodigal son.
"Hurry up and find Qi Zhenzhen, and ask her to ask Yang Mi to come out and clarify that the voice message was not sent by her. Do you understand? Speak!" Mei's mother punched Mei Yeping with an anxious look on her face.
Mei Yeping's face was filled with annoyance. Just then, the phone rang again: "I know, I know. I'll take the call."
Mei Yeping's face changed drastically after he picked up the phone and listened to just a few words.
His phone had dropped and there was some sound leakage, and the corridor was relatively quiet, so Mei's mother could hear it clearly, and her face couldn't help but change color.
"Don't be ridiculous! That's impossible!" Mei Yeping said in disbelief. "How could Yang Mi's Jiaxing have a joint venture with CAA? She's even a director? Wasn't Zhongzhou Culture a joint venture partner? I just met with President Xu a while ago."
"Who told you that?"
The voice on the other end of the line was also female, filled with resignation. "Boss Xu told me this himself! They're also a joint venture partner, a three-way one. Zhongzhou Culture and CAA each hold 45%, and Jiaxing holds 10%. The agreement was signed yesterday. Next month, the business registration will be completed, and after the approval of the Ministry of Rites, we'll hold a press conference to announce it!"
Bang!
Mei Yeping's phone slipped from his hand again, the screen was broken, and the sound was leaking.
"Hello? Hello? Chris? Hello?"
Mei Yeping picked up the phone.
Damn it, I should have put on the flower phone case that Liu Feifei gave me!
Wu Tao is just not safe!
Just as I picked up my phone, I saw my cousin walking towards me from the conference hall of the press conference, sweating profusely and with a smug look on his face.
"Aunt, cousin, it's all done. Three million." Cousin Mei Yeping patted his chest proudly. "It's because of my decisiveness, otherwise this matter would not be so easy to handle. Don't worry, everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement. Even if it has no legal effect, as long as they want to make a living in this industry, they won't dare to violate it. Otherwise, we will kill them."
Mei Yeping was extremely confused. Mei's mother looked at her nephew a few times. She had just clearly heard the number being one and a half million, so how come it had become three million in such a short while?
Just as Mei's mother was about to speak, Mei Yeping's cousin's phone rang.
"Aunt, I need to take a call. Don't worry, my cousin. I can handle anything. Hello? Hello! Speak up! What did you say? Check Weibo? What's wrong with Weibo? Are those bastards posting on Weibo?"
"Little G? What happened to Little G?"
When Mei Yeping heard Xiao G's name, his face changed and he quickly picked up his phone to check Weibo.
The broken screen did not affect the operation. He had long blocked various notifications such as @ notifications, private message notifications, etc. on Weibo. As soon as he opened Weibo, he saw that his name was ranked first, second, and third on the hot searches.
I am indeed a top star.
"Little G Mei Yeping"
"Little G shows off Mei Yeping's chat history"
"Mei Yeping scammed and ran away"
"Mei Yeping is a scumbag"
…
broken!
Mei Yeping's heart skipped a beat.
"Cousin, this is bad, this is bad! That little G broke the news on Weibo. I don't think this matter can be solved without 10 or 20 million."
Cousin Mei Yeping looked solemn.
Mei Yeping kicked her cousin to the ground.
"You take me for an idiot!" Mei Yeping yelled, his eyes red. "I usually don't bother with you, but now, you're still thinking about how to cheat me out of my money, right?"
"I'm telling you! Yang Mi's Jiaxing is now a joint venture with CAA! That's my contract company! You idiot!"
If I had known earlier, I would have acted in two Jin Yong dramas. It turns out that my cousin is not a good person!
Cousin Mei Yeping looked confused.
Yang Mi? A joint venture with CAA?
This doesn't make sense at all.
"Do you know what this means? It means that as long as there's any negative news about me that gives this woman an opportunity, she can find an excuse to get CAA to terminate my contract!"
"Terminate the contract! Do you understand?!"
"The collaborations we just agreed on with Bulgari and LV are over! The Ai Qianyi variety show is over too! Do you understand?"
"Now! Hurry and deal with Little G! We can't let that woman find an excuse to terminate the contract! Do you understand?"
Mei Yeping bent down, grabbed his cousin's collar, and looked ferocious.
"If you can't handle this, you'll have to pay me back all the money you took from me over the years! If I'm done for, you won't be either!"
"When the time comes, I'll report you to the police! I'll have you jailed!"
Two hours late, but two thousand more words.
Liu has appeared, should I write about him or not?
Liu is too difficult to write.
