Chapter 19 Ordinary Friends
Qiu Jing is a person who pursues details. The films she invests in sometimes portray minor supporting roles more profoundly than the main characters, and she has made many unknown actors famous.
The movie that Tang Tu starred in his freshman year was invested by Qiu Jing, and he was also selected by Qiu Jing. It can be said that Qiu Jing is Tang Tu's mentor.
Liu Lan was actually very tempted. The money she currently earned from selling shoes and receiving rewards from live broadcasts totaled less than 30,000 yuan. If her mother and the Wang family reached a settlement this week, the 3 million yuan would be a sure thing. She really needed the money.
I don't know if Liu Man's eyes revealed her love of money, Qiu Jing smiled and said, "If you can finally get this role, we will pay you 50,000 yuan. Are you willing to accept this part-time job?"
Five minutes, fifty thousand yuan, what a lucrative income.
Anyone who disagrees would be a fool. “I do, I do,” Liu Lan nodded repeatedly.
Qiu Jing just liked the way she was real and didn't hide herself. The girls who were brought to her were young but wore heavy makeup. They were obviously full of ambition in their hearts, but they pretended to be innocent in their eyes.
"The film is scheduled to start shooting at the end of January. The five minutes of this character are not continuous. They are scattered throughout the film. We don't know when the director will shoot which segment, so you need to be on call throughout the winter vacation, including the Spring Festival."
This is not a problem for Liu Lan. Her father is still in the detention center, so she will definitely not have a good Spring Festival this year.

"I'm available whenever you need me."
Qiu Jing nodded. "When you have time, add me on WeChat and send me a full-body photo of yourself. This is what the director wants to see. My WeChat ID is the phone number on the business card."
"OK."
"Let me make it clear first, I'm not 100% sure that you will be able to play this role. This still requires the approval of the director and several other producers."
"Yeah, I understand." Liu Man didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but she knew that interests were always linked to complex interpersonal relationships from ancient times to the present. Which woman around her father didn't have a background? Even her mother and aunt, the lowly singers and dancers, were first raised in the Prince's Mansion and then sent to the palace, representing the power of the Prince's Mansion.
This girl is indeed sensible and considerate. Qiu Jing was even more satisfied. She patted Liu Lan on the shoulder and said, "Wait for my notification when the time comes."
Watching Qiu Jing leave, Liu Lan still had a feeling of unreality in her heart. The memory of her previous owner had let her know that the status of actors nowadays was completely different from that of actors in her era. Successful actors were public figures, glamorous, popular, earning a lot of money, owning luxury houses and cars, and it was a profession that everyone envied.
"Manman," Li Xiaoru's cheerful voice came from a distance. Liu Man looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina walking over together. "What does Professor Qiu want to see you for?"
"It was about yesterday's piano test, and she kindly gave me some pointers," Liu Lan did not tell them the real reason. Firstly, the matter was not set in stone and there might be variables. Secondly, she was afraid that the two of them would think too much.
Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina are both better at piano than Liu Lan, but it was Liu Lan who was chosen. It is hard to say whether they will feel unbalanced. Li Xiaoru is carefree, but Wang Nina is more thoughtful. She is not bad looking, with an oval face and phoenix eyes, a bit like Lin Daiyu, a beautiful girl from a small family. She is more tactful in dealing with people and has always had many suitors. Moreover, Wang Nina is very competitive and always wants to compete with Li Xiaoru.
Li Xiaoru didn't think much about it. She put her arm around Liu Lan and said with a smile, "We haven't been to your live broadcast room for a while. As a result, I was bored this morning and opened the app and saw that your fans are almost 500. Is it time to fulfill your promise? Who said that you can treat us to dinner at the pub when the fans exceed 100? It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's go to the pub for dinner later."
"How about tomorrow? I have a dinner appointment with someone tonight," Liu Lan said embarrassedly.
"Okay, okay, tomorrow will be the same," Li Xiaoru said indifferently.
Wang Nina suddenly asked, "Who are you having dinner with? Could it be Professor Qiu?"
"Of course not, it's with my friend," Liu Lan wondered why Wang Nina thought so. But Wang Nina's eyes stopped at the business card in her hand that she hadn't put away yet.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoru changed the subject, "How did your fans suddenly increase so dramatically? The last time we were acting as agents, we only had a few dozen fans."
"You'll know next time you watch my live broadcast."
As Liu Lan was talking, the phone in her pocket buzzed. She took it out and saw a WeChat message.
Yu Zhan: "I'm already at the north gate of your school."
"My friend is here," Liu Man said to Li Xiaoru and the others, "I'm leaving first."
Wang Nina suddenly took her arm and asked her with a smile, "What friend? Is it a boy or a girl?"
