Spring goes and winter comes, flowers bloom and fade, and twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Open your heart, strip away spring's shyness, dance with flying steps, and break winter's silence... Come, come, meet at 98, come, come, meet at 98, meet under the silver moonlight, meet in warm affection..."
This year's hit song blared loudly from speakers on both sides of the road. In a black SUV, Wei Yingying kept checking her watch and anxiously asked the driver, "Master, can we get back to Shuangshui Village before 10 AM?"
The driver smiled helplessly. Wei Yingying had asked this question no less than ten times.
"Don't worry, Miss Wei, we are less than a hundred miles away from Shuangshui Village. It's only 7:30 now. We will definitely be back on time."
Qiaomai patted her shoulder and said, "Yingying, don't worry. My aunt and uncle have already agreed that even if you can't make it on time, they will still be waiting for you, the big star."
Ten years ago, Wei Yingying was admitted to the nationally renowned Beijing Drama Academy and became a top student in the acting department. After graduation, she was invited by directors with a discerning eye for talent to act in several plays, and she quickly became famous throughout the country. A year ago, a movie she starred in won an international award. At a young age, she became an international film queen, and her fame and prestige soared.
The phone suddenly rang. Qiaomai casually picked up the black Nokia 6110 and spoke in the sweet voice of an agent. "Hello, I'm Miss Wei Yingying's agent. Who are you?"
Yingying immediately asked nervously, "Could it be my aunt calling to hurry me up? Driver, please hurry up."
Qiao Mai waved her hands quietly but said enthusiastically, "Oh, it's Director Zhang. You called to check with me about Yingying's schedule. I'm sorry, Director Zhang, but Yingying's schedule for the second half of the year is already full. She really doesn't have time to act in your masterpiece.
Yes, yes, I've already signed a contract with someone else. If I go back on my word, I'll have to pay a huge penalty. Oh, there's nothing I can do, Director Zhang. How about you wait until you find a suitable role next time and then come talk to me. I'll definitely sign you as soon as possible. What do you think? Okay, okay, it's settled. Bye."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Qiaomai snorted harshly, "You old pervert, you want to get your hands on our Yingying? Dream on."
Speaking of which, Director Zhang is considered a big director in the industry, and the quality of his films is second to none in the industry. However, he is too lustful. All the heroines who appear in his films are sexually exploited by him without exception. This is also an open secret in the industry.
Yingying has long been accustomed to this in this industry, but being accustomed to it does not mean that she is willing to obey. She always has her own bottom line and will not cross it under any circumstances.
"Thank goodness I have you, Qiaomai. You have taken on a lot of troubles for me without offending anyone. You are really my lucky star." Yingying said sincerely.
Qiaomai has a cheerful personality and is very good at dealing with people. Not long after Yingying became an actress, he brought her from Linwen County to Jing City and made her his agent. Qiaomai was like a fish in water and soon thoroughly understood the profession. He helped Yingying negotiate contracts and prices.
She has a good eye and has secured several good jobs for Yingying. Even the award-winning movie last year was recommended to Yingying by her despite the opposition of the team.
Originally, some people in Yingying's team criticized her for being Yingying's relative, thinking that she came from the countryside and looked down on her. But after this incident, those people all shut up.
Today, Cheng Qiaomai is also Beijing's top gold medal agent. Many celebrities want to spend a lot of money to poach her, but Qiaomai always ignores them.
Just kidding, her revolutionary friendship with Yingying started from childhood, she would never betray her good friend.
"By the way, my eldest brother asked me a while ago if you had read the script he gave you and if you were willing to take it on."
When Cheng Aiguo was in high school, he was taken to the provincial capital by Cheng Maixiang and his wife. He also applied for the Beijing Drama Academy in the college entrance examination. The difference was that he applied for the screenwriting major. He loved reading and writing since he was a child, especially reading dramas, and became a screenwriter when he grew up.
"Needless to say, Brother Aiguo's scripts are notoriously hard to come by in the circle. Many people want to get them but can't. He took the initiative to hand the script to me. I was so happy that I couldn't resist acting?" Yingying said with a smile.
"Yeah," Qiaomai took out the notebook she carried with her and took a look at it. It was densely packed with Yingying's schedule for the second half of the year, and she made another note on it.
"I heard from my brother that this movie is still in the early stages of preparation and will not start shooting until at least March of next year. You don't have any specific plans by then, and Director Liu's Republican-era TV series, Green Border Town, is also undecided. If my brother's movie conflicts with the TV series, we should postpone the TV series."
"Okay, you arrange it." Yingying has always trusted Qiaomai and has no objection to the work she arranged. However, she kept looking down at her watch, fearing that she would not be able to arrive in Shuangshui Village on time.
The car sped at lightning speed and soon arrived at Shuangshui Village.
Yingying's driver was a member of her team. He had traveled extensively with her and was considered quite knowledgeable. However, upon arriving at Shuangshui Village, he was surprised and opened his mouth wide. "This, this is actually a village?"
Yingying and Qiaomai smiled at each other, feeling indescribably proud.
In Shuangshui Village in front of us, wide asphalt roads intersect horizontally and vertically, and the roads wind in two directions. There are rows of pure white two-story villas standing there, exuding European style. Cars pass by on the road from time to time.
