The man put down the information in his hand and raised his dark eyes. "Ms. Jin, as far as I know, this is..." He glanced at the name on the information. "...Mr. Cheng's voice is no longer able to sing, and Changhong Entertainment's penalty for breach of contract is well known in the industry. I really can't think of a reason to go to such great lengths to recruit him."
Xihe subconsciously looked at the person playing games on the sofa. Li Huan quickly put away his phone. "Brother, Huanhuan didn't ask you to pay. She just wants us to help her get Changhong to release her. It's just a matter of words. Please help."
Winking at his brother: This is the first time my younger brother is helping someone, please don’t embarrass me in front of my friends.
Li Jing ignored him and looked at Xihe.
Xihe nodded: "That's indeed the case, Mr. Li. I will help Cheng Bo pay for his breach of contract fee. If he is willing to come to Dihuang after leaving Changhong, I will provide him with his agent and other resources." He looked like he was taking on a big responsibility.
Li Jing: "...Miss Jin, you might as well just help Mr. Cheng set up a studio."
Although he complained like this, he finally relaxed.
Although he and Mr. Jin are not in the same industry, they do have dealings with each other. The reason why he asked this question just now was to remind the girl that the penalty for breach of contract is not a small amount. Don't waste it on impulse. No matter how rich you are, you can't do this.
But it was obvious that the little girl was in a state of excitement and could not be persuaded. Never mind, I'll mention it to Mr. Jin later.
Xihe and the others were taken by their secretary to see Yu Jingjun, one of the few top-tier managers at Emperor Phoenix who still had vacancies for artists. When they arrived at the dance studio, Yu Jingjun was watching his artists practice. Upon hearing this, he simply said, "I'll contact you later," and went back to watching them practice.
Xihe and Li Huan looked at each other, and he scratched his head: "I'll go back and catch up on my sleep later, how about you?"
Xihe glanced outside and said, "I'm going to find Cheng Bai."
Li Huan nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back first."
The two of them had been friends since childhood and were very familiar with each other. They didn't exchange any polite words. After going downstairs, they waved goodbye and left in different directions.
Xihe drove the original owner's car out of the garage, thought for a moment, and called Zheng Hua. Zheng Hua was an assistant sent by the original owner's father to help his daughter with chores, and he was always available. As soon as the phone rang, the other end answered: "Miss Jin."
Xihe asked him where Cheng Bai was now?
She had checked online before, but there were all kinds of reports, none of which were accurate.
After about two minutes, Zheng Hua gave the address: "Mr. Cheng just took on a new drama a few days ago and is currently filming. Do you need me to take you there?"
"Need not."
After hanging up the phone, Xihe drove straight to the film and television base.
When she arrived, it was around eleven o'clock and Cheng Bai was filming. Xihe did not disturb anyone and just watched from the side.
This is a costume drama, which is about the struggle for favor in the harem. The empress and the imperial concubine, both with pearl hairpins on their heads, are engaged in a verbal battle. In the end, the empress, as the mistress of the harem, overpowers the imperial concubine and takes away her popularity.
Cheng Bo plays the eunuch who is used by the imperial concubine to vent her anger.
I don’t know if the woman who plays the imperial concubine really has bad acting skills or she just wants to kick someone.
Cheng Bai was kicked to the ground again and again, and after getting up he had to nod and bow and say flattering words.
Xi He was stunned. She couldn't believe Cheng Bo's cold, ethereal face could actually deliver such a captivating and vivid performance. Wasn't he afraid of losing face?
He was once so famous, how could he accept to play such a humble role...
"Okay, pass."
"Let's go, let's all go eat."
The expression on Cheng Bai's face instantly returned to normal. He got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on his robe, and went straight to the place where lunch boxes were distributed.
Xihe thought for a moment and called out to the person, "Cheng Bai."
Cheng Bai turned around, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw her, then he took the lunch box and walked over: "Excuse me, were you calling me just now?"
Xihe looked at the lunch box in his hand: "Well, I want you to have a meal."
Cheng Bai shook his head: "Thank you, I already have it. May I ask who you are looking for..."
Xihe nodded: "Big deal."
Cheng Bai was silent for a while, then said, "If you're asking about Zhang Shao, I don't know anything about him either."
It was obvious that he had recognized her as Zhang Shao's fan. It was very likely that the original owner was also aware of the relationship between Zhang Shao and her, but just didn't want to get involved.
Xihe: "...No, it's your business."
Cheng Bai: ???
Half an hour later, in a small restaurant outside the film and television base, Cheng Bai opened his eyes slightly.
Xi He was furious. "Zhang Shao, that liar and scumbag, actually dared to deceive my feelings. I must make him pay the price! Cheng Bai, don't refuse. This role is worth it anyway."
She looks like she’s been heartbroken by a scumbag and wants to give her baby away to someone else.
Cheng Bo, however, was unmoved: "Ms. Jin, since you have seen his true face, just start your own new life. There is really no need for this. Besides, I won't accept the reward without merit. I won't take this role."
He stood up and said, "The filming is about to begin. I'm leaving now. Goodbye, Miss Jin."
Xihe frowned and watched Cheng Bai's figure disappear in the stage.
It was within her expectation that he would not agree. She came today just to get close to him and see what kind of person 'Cheng Bo' was.
As expected, although he appears gentle and polite, he is actually very aloof.
This personality is difficult to deal with~
In the next few days, Xihe came to visit the set every day, but did not disturb them. He just sat there quietly watching them perform.
There were people coming and going at the film and television base, and the extras were replaced one after another. Their play was not a big production, so there was no need to worry about it being leaked, so the director did not ask anyone to drive Xihe away.
But other people didn't think so. They all thought she was Cheng Bai's girlfriend.
Cheng Bo is a singer who is popular all over the country. Everyone still remembers him. Someone has secretly filmed a video and uploaded it to the Internet, which caused quite a stir. Even this drama was mentioned, attracting a lot of attention.
The director was so happy that he didn't even ask Xihe to leave. He even had someone bring a stool for her to sit on.
...But to Cheng Bai, she was just a big trouble that made him irritated.
"Miss Jin, what do you want?"
Cheng Bai couldn't stand it anymore.
Xihe looked up at the sky: "Oh, I have never seen a filming, so I came here to broaden my horizons... Hey, hey! Hey!" Seeing him turn around and leave, she hurriedly followed him.
Cheng Bai had long legs and walked so fast that Xi He had to jog: "Cheng Bai, where are you going?"
Cheng Bai suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, and then walked into the small supermarket next to him under Xihe's puzzled gaze. After a while, he took out a small black bag and walked straight forward.
In that direction was his temporary residence at the film and television base.
Xihe followed behind with a clattering sound.
Cheng Bai: “…”
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－
Cheng Bai: It’s numb.
