Chapter 153: The Popular Female Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Industry (9)
Looking at the scene in front of her, a smile flashed across Xu Rong's eyes.
Although their artists don’t understand the intricacies of the industry, they can still see some things very clearly.
Although there are people protecting them in the circle, there is no need for their artists to learn these methods, but it is not a bad thing if they can see clearly.
After all, as long as Qiao Qiao stays in this circle full of fame, fortune and desire, she will meet many different kinds of people in the future. If she really knows nothing, she will be easily exploited.
Now that the disguise has been taken off.
Next, it’s her job as an agent.
Xu Rong smiled and said, "So how do you plan to deal with this?"
This time the public opinion is not too big, but not too small either.
It’s not a big deal because it’s just a small matter of copying, but it’s not a small matter because the person involved in this matter is Nan Qiao.
Again, as much as netizens love Nan Qiao, they will hate those who have tried to copy her and replace her.
Brother Zhou smiled awkwardly: "Sister Xu, look, we really know we were wrong, and we will continue to work hard in the future... Look, can you please talk to us online and help us..."
In fact, treating it coldly is also a solution, but the public opinion about this matter has caused such a big stir. If it is treated coldly, maybe netizens’ memories will not fade away yet, and I am afraid that Song Qingyan’s business endorsements will all be lost.
Xu Rong raised an eyebrow, her smile gentle, but her words were ruthless: "Xiao Zhou, we can indeed help you with this matter, but why should we help you?"
This circle has its own set of rules. After all, this incident was not caused by her Qiao Qiao, so they have no obligation to clean up the mess for them.
Brother Zhou looked embarrassed and whispered, "Sister Xu, please help me. Director Wu has a new play recently, and there is a very outstanding role in it. I will ask Director Wu to come out for you..."
Director Wu is one of the most popular directors in the film industry, and countless artists have been promoted from his films.
After running the business for a few years, Brother Zhou and Director Wu have developed some friendship, and this is one of the few connections he has that he can show off.
but......
There was some hesitation on Brother Zhou's face, and his eyes slowly drifted to the girl elsewhere. The girl didn't seem interested in their conversation, and was drinking tea slowly.
Just sitting there, it was as bright as the moon, and it seemed as if the whole room was lit up.
Brother Zhou pursed his lips, revealing a hint of bitterness.
.......Director Wu's connections may be a rare gift for other artists, but for her, it may just be the icing on the cake...
But he really didn't have anything worth showing off.
The smile on Xu Rong's face became more genuine. This connection was indeed nothing to her artist.
But it’s better to refuse it. As Nan Qiao’s agent, Xu Rong doesn’t want to see her own artist suffer.
However, there are some principles that cannot be ignored. Xu Rong's smile faded, and a businesslike expression emerged: "If this matter is to be resolved, Miss Song must apologize online."
Brother Zhou and Song Qingyan were not surprised by their request.
If you want to calm the anger of Qiao's fans, in addition to having Nan Qiao Studio come forward, a public apology is also essential.
It seems that she is about to become the first artist in history to apologize for copying.
Song Qingyan curled the corners of her mouth. Even before the meeting started, the sneering faces of her former rivals had already appeared in her mind.
She felt extremely tormented, but in order to prevent the business from continuing to slip away, she had to endure the ridicule from people in the circle.
"good."......
The group came and left quickly. Seeing that the outsiders had left, Xu Rong took out the script she had carefully selected in the past few days and placed it on the coffee table.
"Qiao Qiao, these are a few scripts I picked out from the invitations these days. Take a look and see if there are any that interest you."
Xu Rong read through a lot of scripts that were invited, eliminating those with bad characters, poor crews, and partners with bad reputations, and picked out a few that were suitable for Qiao Qiao.
Six scripts of big productions were stacked on the coffee table. Nan Qiao put down his teacup, picked up one and started reading.
She had been staying at the Qi family for a few days, and the desire to go out to work became stronger as she stayed at the Qi house longer.
Qi Liansheng, who originally lived in Qi's house, moved out, and she and Qi Jing were the only two people living in the quaint and magnificent house.
It was clearly still summer or autumn, but staying in this house with him day and night always made her feel that the days were short and the nights were long.
Panting, groaning, the sound of water...
The girl, lost in thought, came back to her senses and gathered her sleeves to cover the red marks on her arms that were exposed from raising her hands.
Her skin was fair and smooth, which made the red marks on her wrists particularly obvious.
Her eyes had been fixed on her artist, and she also noticed the marks on Nan Qiao's wrist. She paused and turned her gaze.
She has been Qiao Qiao's agent for a few days, and naturally noticed some disharmony between Qiao Qiao and Mr. Qi.
But even though she knew it, one was the person who hired her, and the other was her artist. To put it bluntly, she couldn't control either of them.
Maybe Qiao Qiao still rejects Mr. Qi, but Xu Rong is more realistic in this circle.
After all, when the bright moon in the sky becomes within reach, everyone wants to enjoy it alone.
With Qiao Qiao's looks and personality, even if she were an ordinary person, if she didn't have someone with some power to protect her, she would probably...
However, this was just her wishful thinking.
Everyone has different ideas. Whether it's Mr. Qi or Qiao Qiao, the things between them are not her business...
"Sister Xu, I think this is good."
Xu Rong's thoughts suddenly returned to her thoughts. Her expression remained unchanged as she glanced down at the script the girl had chosen. After seeing the director's name clearly, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll contact Director Li tomorrow. The filming for this drama starts early, so Qiao Qiao should rest well and get ready."
Nan Qiao nodded, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her eyes filled with anticipation, and she looked unusually well-behaved as she held the teacup.
*
After discussing the business, Xu Rong left quickly.
Nan Qiao did not return to her room. She hugged a pink pillow in her arms and curled up on the sofa, continuing to read the script in her hand.
She went to bed late last night, and summer is the time when people are most prone to drowsiness. The air conditioning in the living room was turned on just right, and the sofa under her was just the right softness. The girl only read the script for about ten minutes before she couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep...
So, when Qi Jing came in from outside, he saw the girl curled up on the sofa, her little face as white as jade with a hint of red, her red lips slightly parted, a scene of a beautiful woman sleeping in the spring.
The man subconsciously slowed down his pace and his expression softened. Seeing that the girl was covered with a thin blanket, he felt relieved.
Loosening his tie, the man gradually moved closer to the sofa, and then quickly noticed the script on the coffee table.
After picking up the script and flipping through a few pages, the man's eyes darkened and he casually put the script back on the coffee table.
Sleeping on the sofa is never as comfortable as sleeping on the bed. The man leaned over, picked up the girl, and walked upstairs...
When Nan Qiao woke up, she found herself back on the bed, the space beside her collapsed, and she was still in someone's arms.
"Qiao Qiao is awake, get up and drink some water."
Nan Qiao shook her head and was about to sit up from the bed, but suddenly she stopped and her eyes fell on the man's hand.
This is...the script she read at noon.
The man's eyes followed hers and also fell on the script in his hand. With a smile on his lips, he said, "I took this from the coffee table. Is this the script that Qiao Qiao chose?"
Nan Qiao's eyelashes trembled a few times, and she nodded silently.
"The main filming location is in the mountainous area of your province, which is quite far from the capital."
"Well, it's quite far away," Nan Qiao said softly, "It's a fairy tale costume drama, and the filming locations are all chosen in places with beautiful natural scenery."
"The filming time, half a year, is quite long."
"After all, it's a costume drama, and the makeup and framing are complicated, so it's normal to take half a year to shoot."
The girl was a little nervous, clutching the quilt and speaking calmly.
The man said nothing more and just looked at her silently.
His eyes were gentle, yet had the ability to see through people's hearts. Under such a gaze, it seemed as if all the little thoughts in his heart could be revealed.
The girl couldn't bear it any longer, and she lowered her eyes and muttered, "This is also my job."
Qi Jing looked helpless, took her into his arms, and said, "I know this is Qiao Qiao's job, but I'm really worried."
"Your province is a remote mountainous area with poor medical facilities. How can I be at ease with you when you are so weak?"
The last sentence was spoken in a low tone, with obvious worry. Nan Qiao was stunned and hesitated: "...Didn't you bring a doctor before?"
"The medical equipment that doctors can bring is limited. No matter what, it can't compare to what a hospital can provide."
Nan Qiao was silent.
"Does Qiao Qiao like this script?"
Nan Qiao was stunned. She was the type who couldn't hide things. Her eyes were a little dodging, so she had to lower her eyes and said, "No, it's just that the fans said they wanted to see me in ancient costume..."
The man knew the girl's little thoughts clearly. He threw the script aside and said, "Then I'll ask your agent to pick you a script that's also a costume drama?"
“…Yeah, okay.”
Xu Rong, who received a call from the big boss, accepted it without surprise. She could only look at the script on the table with regret, and then threw the script into the pile of scripts that represented the unsuitable ones after selection.
Director Li's works are highly sought after by people in the industry.
Even from Xu Rong's perspective, the character that Nan Qiao was invited to play in this script is indeed very outstanding.
But so what?
Qiao Qiao is not short of popularity now, nor is she short of invitations to big productions.
There are so many things to consider when choosing a suitable script for her, and it’s not enough to just focus on the script itself.
