After finishing this matter, I started to enter the two words "Sun Er" in the Baidu search bar, and read through them one by one. A vague impression of Sun Er from my previous life emerged in my mind.
It seems that because of her appearance, she has been filming costume dramas since then. As she got older, there were more new generation actresses, and she was ridiculed for filming costume dramas again. She couldn't find new acting avenues, and has been in an awkward position.
As for other gossips, Ziyi really didn't understand much. At most, she was just an amateur who only ate gossips that the public could eat, and she had never heard of any inside stories.
"Xiao Li," Ziyi waved and called Li Xinyu over, "Did Qin Yuhuan make any friends on the set?"
Li Xinyu thought for a moment and replied, "Except for Brother Hu (Hu Xuzhi, the supporting male lead), Sister Qin has a good relationship with everyone. She's not a bad friend to Brother Hu, but she keeps a relatively large distance."
Hu Xuzhi was an idol in his early years, and later he transformed and started filming TV dramas. Among his fans, the proportion of girlfriend fans is quite high.
This type of male star has to keep a distance wherever they go. Previously, a female artist from the crew walked side by side with Hu Xuzhi with a distance of less than ten centimeters between them, and her Weibo was flooded with fanatical fans. Until now, that artist still has a bunch of black fans who won't let her go, and they photoshop black and white photos of her every day to wish her a speedy reincarnation.
Fang Zhiying initially chose Hu Xuzhi to do the edging because Hu Xuzhi was cheap, had traffic, and had the best cost-effectiveness among all the candidates on the list.
When Ziyi invested, the contracts for selecting personnel had already been signed, and it was not easy to change people at will, so the original team was maintained.
"Director Fang has explained this to Sister Fang." Seeing Ziyi's frown, Li Xinyu assumed she was dissatisfied with Hu Xuzhi's incredible fan base and added quietly, "Brother Hu wants to transform and clean up his fan base. So, he will definitely control his fans this time and prevent them from doing anything to attack other artists in the same crew."
"Fang Zhiying is still young." Ziyi sighed suddenly.
As for Fang Jinyao, probably because the people had been selected and the contracts had been signed, and they were just temporary replacements for the female supporting roles, there was nothing much to say, so she repeatedly told Fang Zhiying to take better care of Qin Yuhuan on the crew.
It's one thing for Hu Xuzhi to want to manipulate his fan base, but whether his fans are willing to be manipulated by him is another. Furthermore, Hu Xuzhi is only playing a minor male lead, so when his girlfriend fans rush in, it will be even more terrifying, especially...
In the original novel, Princess Fu'an and the heroine Sheng Shi'an are a couple, and the hero is clearly a tool. People only praise him for the sake of each other's face, but in fact he is just a useless but not so small... decoration, and when the time comes, it will be Qin Yuhuan who will be attacked.
Li Xinyu was bewildered by Ziyi's words. She wanted to gently remind Director Fang that he was older than Xiaozi.
Ziyi found a quiet place and called Fang Jinyao. Fang Jinyao didn't seem busy and answered the phone very quickly. "What advice do you have for me, Xiaozi?"
"Tsk, it's really obvious that Manager Fang dislikes me," Ziyi said slyly, "He doesn't even try to hide it."
"Whether I dislike you or not is definitely irrelevant to Xiaozi," Fang Jinyao seemed to be in a very good mood. "As long as my artist doesn't dislike you, Xiaozi, that's all that matters."
Ziyi: ...
They are really cousins, each one more annoying than the other.
Ziyi almost suppressed the urge to hang up and raised the question about the potential trouble Hu Xu might cause. However, Fang Jinyao seemed to have anticipated Ziyi's question and explained without even needing to draft a draft, "For Xiao Qin right now, this script is something he'll have to go through, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire."
It's not just because of Dong Lingshuang's recommendation, nor is it just because they joined temporarily while the others were already confirmed, but because of the popularity of the entire drama's IP, Fang Zhiying's supervision, and the other actors participating in the show, it is the best choice for Qin Yuhuan at the moment.
"Boss Xiaozi, it's Xiaoqin who's choosing the show now, not Xiaoqin. Of course, I've asked her opinion before, and she said that no matter whether you're in the entertainment industry or not, you'll experience praise and criticism from others throughout your life. She doesn't care. She doesn't want to miss any opportunity. Not every opportunity will lead to success, but quantitative change will always lead to qualitative change."
To be honest, Fang Jinyao has been following the route of cool writing since she entered the industry. Every artist she brings in becomes popular. Qin Yuhuan is the third one she brings in. She has the lowest and worst starting point, but also the one with the most ideas. Every time she has a deep conversation with Qin Yuhuan, Fang Jinyao will be shocked by the transparent soul hidden under her calm exterior.
It is transparent, yet it looks like a volcano that can erupt fire at any time, with a terrifyingly powerful force.
"Hu Xuzhi is an established fact. My artists aren't afraid of him, so why should I be afraid? Conflict and conflict always bring huge benefits. Boss Xiaozi should understand this. Whether in this industry or not, everyone lives their life. Even Boss Xiaozi can't guarantee that she will be satisfied and liked by everyone, right?"
Qin Yuhuan also didn't want to be a vine that depended on others. She had always been a towering tree.
"Okay, I understand." Ziyi said solemnly, nodding her head. Then she remembered she was on the phone and Fang Jinyao couldn't see her movements. "Thank you, Agent Fang, for your trouble."
"This is my responsibility. Boss Xiaozi, you should reflect on yourself for being so overly concerned about my artists. Of course, I'm not the type to try to break up a couple."
Fang Jinyao chuckled softly. In the distance, Shen Zhiming waved at her eagerly, clutching two candied haws. She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and waved back at Shen Zhiming. "I'm just reminding President Xiaozi that this short window of separation isn't good for Xiaoqin. I naturally tend to trust President Xiaozi's character and attitude towards relationships. Others don't know, and they might not want to know the truth."
Ziyi: ...
"I didn't..." Perhaps it was because Fang Jinyao had provoked her or something, but Ziyi felt embarrassed. She took several steps on the spot, trying to ease the rising embarrassment. In the end, she found that it was useless, and said in a huff, "You said you would keep it a secret for me."
"Of course, we're on the phone, so there are no outsiders here." Fang Jinyao didn't consider herself an outsider at all. "But this is the first time I've heard Xiaozi speak in a childish tone. Young people should be more lively. She always acts like an old businessman, too cold and solemn. I always think I'm meeting an elder in the family."
Ziyi: ...
"Manager Fang is truly scheming. At best, I'm only as old as Manager Fang. Calling him an elder... that's a bit of a compliment."
The main thing is that she is not pretending. Her actual mental age is in her thirties, and it is difficult for her to return to the heartless state of her early twenties. That is, when Qin Yuhuan makes her laugh, she seems to be able to taste a little bit of the belated youth.
