Lu Huanhuan's trending topic disappeared as quickly as possible before Fu Yinze returned to the villa. At the same time, the photos of the two of them, which were taken from different angles, could no longer be found online. The woman was also directly warned not to cause trouble, or even a miracle would be impossible to save her.
Ye Xi watched helplessly as Fu Yinze and Lu Huanhuan's trending topics suddenly rose to the top and remained there for a full four hours. Adhering to the principle of "if I'm not happy, no one else can be comfortable either," she hadn't been happy for long when she opened Weibo again and couldn't find any news about Fu Yinze and Lu Huanhuan at all. Not only that, she couldn't even find any photos. Who else could have done this so effortlessly but Fu Yinze?
Compared to the previous situation involving Fu Yinze and Lu Huanhuan, where she clowned around on wires and twisted her ankle to get Fu Yinze to come to the set to see her, only to have him become interested in that little bitch Tang Ning, Ye Xi was so angry that she threw her phone away on the spot.
Fortunately, although he had some unpleasantness with Qi Lie on the set of "The Long Life Sword," he was still willing to stand up for her. So, he directly invited Tang Ning, who had just played some minor roles and gained a little fame from shooting a few commercials, to star in his music video. As one of the two top traffic stars alongside Fu Yuankai, being the female lead in Qi Lie's music video is not an easy job. If his female fans found out, they would probably smear Tang Ning to the bone. Most importantly, Qi Lie probably wouldn't let her have an easy time while filming the music video.
Meanwhile, Fu Yin, who had finally realized his own feelings and whose relationship with Tang Ning had finally cleared up, frowned immediately upon hearing about Tang Ning's next job. "Qi Lie's music video? Why did Sister Wen give you such a job?"
"It has nothing to do with Sister Wen. Actually, Qi Lie contacted me privately, and I agreed to this job myself..."
Tang Ning quickly explained.
"reason."
When did she start contacting Qi Lie privately? Did she take this job because she thought Qi Lie was famous enough to make her famous...?
Before Fu Yin could finish his sentence, Tang Ning excitedly replied, "He offered an incredibly high reward. I didn't realize he was so rich before. I wish I hadn't made things so awkward with him. In the entertainment industry, you're bound to run into each other all the time."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yin was momentarily speechless, then couldn't help but chuckle softly, and immediately pulled Tang Ning into his arms, stroking her hair repeatedly.
Tang Ning obediently enjoyed the tranquility between the two of them, and then heard Fu Yinze's question.
"Where will we film, and how long will it take?"
"I heard it's in Queensland, where it's said to be spring-like all year round, and these days happen to be the season when flowers are in full bloom, so I'm going to hurry over and shoot a few more shots. It won't take long, at most five to seven days to be back."
Tang Ning looked up at Fu Yinze's chin and replied.
She raised an eyebrow inwardly. If she hadn't heard that the other party was from the Kunzhou area, and if she hadn't dug out a piece of information about Qi Lie in Kunzhou from the plot in her mind, and if the other party happened to be one of her targets, Tang Ning probably wouldn't have even blinked an eye even if Qi Lie offered an exorbitant reward.
It was the name Kunzhou that gave Tang Ning the opportunity to conquer Qi Lie.
She was so sleepy that someone offered her a pillow, otherwise why would she have told 54088 yesterday that the other party was just there to deliver a casualty!
Hearing her words, Fu Yin lowered his head and pecked her lips, "Go and come back soon."
"Um!"
Tang Ning just nodded.
Fu Yin then spoke again, his gaze deep and unfathomable, "In the future, discuss your work choices with Sister Wen more often. I don't need the money you owe me. Don't let yourself have to share a room with someone you don't like just to pay off your debts; it's not worth it. You're my girlfriend, and I'd rather you work happily every day than pay off debts just for the sake of paying them off, understand?"
Hearing this, Tang Ning was stunned for a long time before finally nodding vigorously. Then she reached out and hugged Fu Yinze's neck, kissing him on the cheek. "Yinze, you are so good!"
What's the use of being good?
You don't like it.
Fu Yin sighed helplessly in his heart. He really didn't expect that he would be friend-zoned by her after they became boyfriends. It was really a bit... pathetic!
The man hugged the girl tightly and sighed softly.
However, what he has no shortage of is patience.
Because Qi Lie's time was tight, Tang Ning flew to Kunming the next day with her agent, Sister Wen.
Actually, when Tang Ning received this job, she knew that with such high pay, this bastard would definitely cause trouble, but she really didn't expect him to cause this much trouble—
Looking at the makeup artist pointing to the phone with a troubled expression, the girl had incredibly messy hair, heavy makeup that made her unrecognizable, and her clothes were completely tattered. She looked like a 90s intangible cultural heritage – a "Shamate" style girl. It was said that Qi Ge's request was for her to make Tang Ning, the female lead, look like this for the shoot.
Upon hearing these words, Tang Ning felt a vein bulge out from her temple.
"Qi Lie, is that right? Where is he? I have something to say to him."
Before Tang Ning could finish speaking, she heard a series of knocking sounds coming from behind them. When she turned around, she saw Qi Lie, who was leaning against the door frame and had just withdrawn his right hand from knocking on the door, looking at her leisurely.
"I wonder if Miss Tang Ning has anything to say to me?"
The man's expression was a mixture of mockery and aggression.
"Of course I have something to tell you."
Tang Ning stood up abruptly, pushed aside the group of people blocking her way, and went straight to Qi Lie. She looked him up and down, then chuckled softly, "I learned about your new album from the director before, and I've also heard your title track, 'Rebirth.' If I'm not mistaken, this song expresses the story of a girl who, after breaking up with her first love, is heartbroken and even contemplates suicide, but ultimately finds rebirth in despair. Looking back, she realizes that the immense pain she felt then was insignificant, and after washing her face, she chooses to start afresh, wholeheartedly embracing happiness and life."
Almost immediately after hearing Tang Ning's words, Qi Lie's eyes flickered uncontrollably.
That's indeed the meaning he expressed in his song. He didn't tell the director what he wanted to film; all the ideas were in his head. He never expected...
Qi Lie stared at the girl in front of him without blinking, his sharp canines gently pressing against the tip of his tongue—a sign that he was restraining his impulses.
"Actually, when I received the news that I was going to be in your music video, I wasn't unhappy. It's just that I had listened to your songs before and watched all your music videos. The dedication, effort, and hard work you put into them completely justify your current status and popularity. In the past, when those so-called marketing accounts and haters criticized you, I even stood up for you. Because in my heart, I've always felt that you've always been someone who values your work above all else and takes it very seriously. But today..."
Tang Ning held up the phone she'd gotten from the makeup artist, pointing to the image of a flamboyant, "Even though you were just angry and upset with me, you tried to dress me up like this, the female lead in your song. She should be a bright, sunny sunflower girl, not this flamboyant, " kind of thing. I thought you might play a trick on me before I came, but I never expected you to joke about your own work..."
She let out a soft sigh, then shoved the phone directly into Qi Lie's hand.
"If that's the case, I think our cooperation may have to come to an end. Consider it a breach of contract. I'll have Sister Wen transfer the penalty to your account after that. I'll be leaving now."
Tang Ning turned and walked out without hesitation, silently counting in her mind, 1, 2...
The word "3" wasn't even pronounced.
Qi Lie's voice rang out from behind, trying to stop them.
"Wait a moment……"
Tang Ning, who had everything planned out, smiled to herself, her verbal skills leveling up!
"Wait a moment!"
Qi Lie took two steps forward, grabbed Tang Ning's hand, and stammered, "Don't go yet... Actually, this... this outfit isn't what the female lead in the music video is dressed like. You analyzed my new song very well. The female lead is indeed a sunflower girl who faces the sun and shines brightly. This... this is... me teasing you..."
Seeing that Tang Ning still had her lips tightly pressed together and looked serious, he took a deep breath and then lowered his head slightly. "I'm sorry, Miss Tang, I want to apologize to you here. I was too naive before. Now, I, Qi Lie, sincerely and earnestly invite Miss Tang Ning to participate in the filming of my new song's music video. I believe you can definitely play the female lead in my heart."
As he spoke, he smiled and extended his right hand directly to Tang Ning.
Seeing this, Tang Ning glanced at his bright smile. No wonder he has been able to sit firmly on the throne of traffic for so many years. His sunny and unfair appearance, his personality that is sometimes like a cute puppy and sometimes like a wolf, his extremely high musical talent and his songs that touch people's hearts, have won over a huge number of fans who are eager to spend money on him.
Thinking this to herself, Tang Ning's expression gradually softened, and she slowly loosened her tightly pursed lips, reaching out to grasp Qi Lie's hand.
"Then...we'd like to have a pleasant collaboration?"
She smiled slightly.
Seeing her smile, Qi Lie also broke into a big smile.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
Qi Lie's current favorability rating: 20.
That's really capricious!
However, if he hadn't been so willful, he wouldn't have received such a high system rating. After all, the original owner's death was indeed largely due to his willfulness!
If she hadn't been disfigured, she might have...
Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it too much.
Having reached a friendly cooperation agreement with Qi Lie, Tang Ning was soon led by him to a deep mountain in Kunzhou. Leaving aside the hardships of traversing mountains and valleys beforehand, when they arrived at the location Qi Lie had mentioned, Tang Ning couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
The emerald green pool resembles a giant piece of natural jade. Beside the pool stand rows of maple trees whose leaves have not yet turned completely yellow, creating a striking contrast of yellow and green. Beneath the trees grow wildflowers of various colors—red, pink, and purple—whose petals are blown by the wind onto the pool, creating a scene that is both vibrant and romantic.
The moment everyone arrived here, they all instinctively held their breath, feeling that even paradise on earth couldn't be more beautiful.
This is also the source of inspiration for Qi Lie's new album's title track, "Rebirth." He wrote the song "Rebirth" almost as soon as he saw a photo of this place in a friend's album, which inspired him to write it.
Only after experiencing extreme pain and witnessing such a miracle can one be reborn from the ashes and start anew.
When it comes to songs and songwriting, Qi Lie no longer has that willful and childish feeling he had before. Instead, he seems to shine, constantly talking to the MV director about his ideas and concepts. When he gets excited, he even starts gesturing wildly without any regard for others.
Perhaps that's just how people who work in the arts are; they're passionate and pure about what they love, and unwilling to back down even a step.
Although Qi Lie has character flaws and is immature and vindictive, one has to admit that he has a really high musical talent, and even his music video shooting is full of ingenious ideas.
It's a pity that such a beautiful scene won't last much longer.
Tang Ning shifted her gaze from Qi Lie to the beautiful scenery before her, thinking with some regret.
As depicted in the story, people in Queensland have been ignoring government warnings and secretly quarrying for years. The mountains were already structurally loose, and the recent torrential rains exacerbated the situation, making them prone to... partial landslides...
This was also a major reason why she agreed to the filming location in Kunming after hearing that Qi Lie had chosen it.
She remembered that because this paradise on earth was hard to find and not open to the public, there were hardly any people around. So when the landslide happened, there were basically no casualties. If it weren't for the fact that one of Qi Lie's staff members accidentally injured his leg, and the paparazzi who rushed over spread the news that Qi Lie himself was about to be paralyzed or even unconscious due to an accident during the filming of the music video, causing a large number of fans to be heartbroken and praying for him online, the whole thing would have been a disaster.
I doubt that the landslide here will cause much of a stir.
And this was her opportunity.
Nothing touches the heart more than mutual support and companionship during a life-or-death crisis.
Maybe we can kill two birds with one stone!
With this in mind, Tang Ning, under the monitoring of 54088, calculated the time of the landslide and immediately used the excuse of filming to send all her entourage to a safer location, including the staff member whose leg was broken in the plot. As for Qi Lie beside her, at the moment of danger, 54088 spent some system energy to set up a small energy shield on the two of them, and they were instantly buried in the rolling mud and rocks.
Meanwhile, Fu Yin, far away in Kyoto, had just received news of a landslide in Kunzhou, and that Tang Ning was likely trapped underground, her fate unknown. He had just gotten up when he clutched his stomach, which was suddenly acting up, and slumped back into the seat behind him.
Tang Ning...
I'll update earlier tomorrow too, love you all~~
