Walking down the street, Xiao Yuan listened to Bai Qingzhi's incessant chatter about her third brother. In the end, he shook his head helplessly, pulled her into his arms, and silenced her with a kiss.
If I keep listening, I'm afraid I'll start dreaming about Bai Qingyu tonight.
Bai Qingzhi blushed, punched him lightly, then lowered her head and closed her eyes.
The next day, when Bai Qingzhi returned to the film crew, she sensed a change in everyone's gaze, probably because someone had said something behind her back again.
However, Bai Qingzhi didn't care, and it didn't affect her mood at all.
Han Lan gritted her teeth in hatred when she saw Bai Qingzhi looking so spirited. She hid in the bathroom for a long time before coming out.
Taking a few deep breaths, Han Lan seemed to have thought of something, and a bright smile instantly appeared on his face as he walked towards Bai Qingzhi.
"Did you have fun?" Han Lan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for those around her to hear.
Everyone knows that Bai Qingzhi left yesterday. After she left, Han Lan deliberately exaggerated the situation, so everyone knows that while everyone else was diligently filming, Bai Qingzhi was taken out to play.
Even the director changed the filming schedule for her.
Bai Qingzhi raised an eyebrow. Was the other party coming here to cause trouble?
"I didn't go out to play; I had some things to take care of." Bai Qingzhi maintained a polite smile throughout.
The onlookers around them all had an "I see" look on their faces; so something had happened!
But Han Lan didn't want this outcome, and continued:
"I understand, those kinds of things!"
After saying that, he deliberately winked, showing absolutely no malice.
Bai Qingzhi was truly disgusted. Originally, she didn't want to argue with her, but this Han Lan was really taking advantage of her.
A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, and Bai Qingzhi answered directly:
"Han Lan, you have an assessment in two days, right?"
Han Lan had already told everyone about this, and everyone knew about it, assuming that someone was deliberately targeting them.
So when Bai Qingzhi asked, Han Lan nodded generously.
"I believe in you!" Bai Qingzhi said, making a cheering gesture.
Before Han Lan could speak, Bai Qingzhi continued:
"Although you got in through connections, after these few days of filming and learning, I'm convinced you're perfectly capable of playing the second female lead. Good luck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him was stunned.
Han Lan got in through her own merit, didn't she? What does "using connections" mean?
Han Lan was surprised that Bai Qingzhi would point it out in front of so many people, and cursed inwardly.
Sensing the unusual behavior of those around him, Han Lan quickly spoke up:
"My uncle managed to get me an audition opportunity, but thank you for your blessing anyway."
A single sentence brought the situation back on track.
Bai Qingzhi gave a cold laugh and didn't say anything more, but her face was blatantly perfunctory.
People aren't stupid. Seeing the contrast between the two, they naturally realized that Han Lan had lied, and those who were originally on good terms with her cursed her in their hearts.
However, the entertainment industry is inherently hypocritical. Since Han Lan has powerful backers, befriending him might prove useful in the future.
Therefore, no one showed any abnormalities on their face.
"Bai Zhi, did you also get in through connections?" a young girl next to her suddenly asked.
She considered herself no less capable than Bai Zhi, so why didn't she get such a good role as the third female lead? It's all because this woman in front of her has connections!
The woman's face held an air of innocence, but the jealousy in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
Bai Qingzhi smiled, then fiddled with her fingers a few times before looking up and answering seriously:
"To be precise, it wasn't through the back door, but through the front door."
Seeing everyone's furrowed brows, Bai Qingzhi continued without any attempt to hide anything:
"In other words, the third female lead role was specifically designed for me. As for why I wasn't made the female lead directly, it's because I didn't like it."
His words silenced the entire room.
Everyone gritted their teeth, thinking to themselves that she was far too arrogant.
The production team heard what she said, but no one refuted it, so everyone knew that what she said was true.
The woman who had spoken first felt a surge of bitterness welling up inside her, and after holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't help but continue:
"So, you have a lot of say in this?"
"Yes, so please don't mess with me, otherwise I can easily reassign your roles to someone else with just one word."
This drama mostly uses new actors who were previously just extras. Now that they finally have a chance to shine, they're not going to let it slip away.
So after Bai Qingzhi finished speaking, everyone's smiles became more genuine.
Those unfriendly glances from just moments ago vanished completely. Bai Qingzhi leaned back slightly and then comfortably closed her eyes.
Indeed, it feels good to be quiet like this.
Bai Qingze, sitting on the other side, naturally heard what his sister had just said. He shook his head helplessly and then waved to his assistant.
He whispered a few words in his assistant's ear, and the assistant ran out. When he came back, he was holding a cup of hot milk.
"Xiao Zhi, this is from Qing Ze." The assistant walked up to Bai Qing Zhi and called out softly.
Bai Qingzhi doesn't usually like to drink milk, especially hot milk.
Seeing the large cup full, Bai Qingzhi frowned in disgust and waved her hand, wanting to refuse.
"Qingze said that if you don't want to drink it, he'll come and feed you himself." The assistant imitated Bai Qingze's stern face and said.
"So annoying!" In the end, Bai Qingzhi gave in, pouting as she took the drink and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.
Then she discovered that sugar had been added to it.
With a smile that brightened her eyes, Bai Qingzhi thanked her second brother from a distance and then returned the cup to her assistant.
Bai Qingze smiled, feeling satisfied at the surprised looks on the faces of those around him.
He wouldn't mind making this group even more afraid.
Bai Qingze has a cold personality. On set, he doesn't chat with anyone except when acting with the female lead. Even when juniors ask him for advice, he refuses them outright.
Furthermore, everyone knows Bai Qingze's background, and now that they suddenly see him being so attentive to Bai Zhi, those who were originally quite active immediately quieted down.
Although we don't know Bai Zhi's exact identity, it's definitely right to treat him with respect.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Han Lan got ready early in the morning, repeatedly checking her clothes and makeup in the mirror, and only went out to participate in the assessment after confirming that she was the most beautiful version of herself.
However, she was disappointed when she arrived; Xiao Yuan did not come.
I just casually brushed off an interviewer.
A somewhat disappointed Han Lan failed to notice the impatience in the interviewer's eyes.
It's a waste of her time for someone who's destined to be eliminated to come for an interview!
When Han Lan finished her confident performance, she was stunned to hear that it was unqualified, and then questioned why.
The interviewer was a top talent scout in the industry, so he was naturally very professional. After Han Lan's hysterical questioning, he calmly and methodically gave several points.
Han Lan had nothing to say.
