Chapter 191 - Talking
Regardless of whether she wanted to drink or not, Wan Fu pretended to want to drink, and did not forget to thank Zou Lianxun:
"I told my assistant to buy it for me this afternoon, but I didn't expect Mr. Zou to treat us to a drink. I won't hesitate. You guys chat while I go have a cup of milk tea."
Shi Feiye thought that everyone in the entertainment industry was a shrewd bunch, and who among the actresses would touch something as high in calories as milk tea? But Wan Fu could make it sound like the truth.
After Wan Fu left, Shi Feiye asked Zou Lianxun: "Why did you come here?"
"Didn't I tell you it was your husband who asked me to come here?" Zou Lianxun was puzzled and rolled his eyes. "Your husband was worried that you'd be wronged here, so he asked me to come here to show his face and support you."
Boss Qin is so nice? Shi Feiye felt a little embarrassed:
"I'm doing well here. The crew is very nice to me, especially Director Wang and his crew. Screenwriter Hai is also very good."
"Haha, that's because your husband asked me to call Director Wang in advance. Otherwise, do you think he's a good person who treats everyone well?" Zou Lianxun curled his lips. "It's good that they understand what's good for them, otherwise I would have to find trouble with them. By the way, the other kids in the crew didn't bully you, did they?"
Shi Feiye was a little dazed. So, the reason why everything went smoothly when she came here was because Boss Qin asked Zou Lianxun to inform Director Wang and the others?
He felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything to Qin Buyu. Shi Feiye wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't know what was good for him. He wasn't the type to act so hypocritically and say things like, "Who told you to meddle in my business?" after getting an advantage. Shi Feiye didn't think he would do such a hypocritical thing.
Moreover, for someone like Qin Buzhu, his living environment and even the education he received since childhood made him feel that utilizing all available resources was a matter of course.
He didn't directly interfere with her career, but only took care of her within his ability. Even in his busy schedule, he still remembered to ask Zou Lianxun to take care of her. This was all out of kindness.
Shi Feiye once again felt that Qin Bulu was a really good person, but at the same time, she also felt a sense of pity. It was a pity that such a good man was not her true love, and she was not worthy of him.
However, being able to be friends is also good, look at how much the big guy takes care of her.
"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law?" Zou Lianxun nudged Shi Feiye with his arm, "What are you staring at? Who bullied you? Just tell me, I'll help you vent your anger. Our family has some influence in the entertainment industry. If you get bullied here, I won't go to see my second brother anymore."
Shi Feiye shook his head: "No, who would bully me when I'm fine?"
"Just say what you need to say. I'm your only son, and my old man has no plans to have any more. Given how much he loves my mom, it's impossible for him to have an illegitimate child. Everything in our family will be mine sooner or later. So whenever I ask, even a famous director has to think twice. If anyone offends you, just say it directly. Don't hold it in. We won't tolerate any bullying."
Zou Lianxun was truly worried that Shi Feiye would be bullied without saying anything. If Wang Dao and the others were so foolish as to provoke Shi Feiye after he had given them specific instructions, it would be a slap in his face. He would definitely let them know that the Zou family was not to be trifled with.
If the person who offended Shi Feiye was some small person, it would be a matter of a word, and he would have to help Shi Feiye vent his anger.
However, the premise of all this is that Shi Feiye is Qin Bulu's wife, and she is one of us. If it were an ordinary person, Zou Lianxun would not care to meddle in her affairs.
Even if his family is powerful, he wouldn't be so bored as to be constantly displeased with everyone. If he really had such a temper, it would be too shameful, and even his father would have to punish him.
This is also why Zou Lianxun has acted like a king who is not to be messed with since he entered the entertainment industry. His bad temper is one reason, but he also doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.
"Really? No one who makes it in this circle is that blind. At most, there are a few who don't know what's going on. But now that you've done this, people will open their eyes and there won't be anyone who's blind anymore."
"Anyway, if someone makes you unhappy, don't bear it, or my second brother will come back and punish me." Zou Lianxun looked around boredly, taking in the actors in the distance and the surrounding arrangements.
"This crew is okay. The environment isn't that bad, and the costumes and props are okay. After all, it's Director Wang who's filming, so funding isn't that tight. How's your place? Is it okay?"
"A star-rated hotel, of course it's fine. I've stayed in a decent place anyway." Shi Feiye wasn't picky about the environment. "Director Wang and the others really took good care of me. I don't have any worries on this crew. I have screenwriter Hai guiding me at work, and the actors also cooperate with me on a regular basis. It's pretty easy."
"That's fine. Is there anything else you want to eat? I'm just making a trip here anyway, so I might as well go back tomorrow to avoid my second brother saying I wasn't attentive enough. If you want to eat anything, I'll go buy it for you."
"It's not that exaggerated. The boxed lunches here are actually pretty good. They have meat, vegetables, and soup. I can basically eat my fill every day." Shi Feiye didn't want to stand out.
Zou Lianxun rolled his eyes. "That's just nonsense, right? The crew can't just skimp on this, right? Come on, tell me what you want to eat. I'm free anyway, and there's nothing much to do here, so I'll run an errand for you."
"I don't really want to eat anything. If you feel bored, you can just wander around."
"What's so good about this godforsaken place? I've been here several times when I was filming, and I almost vomited after seeing it all." Zou Lianxun had no interest in this place at all:
"If you don't tell me, I'll just buy it."
"No, you come here so carelessly, aren't you afraid of being blocked by fans?"
"I'm not stupid. I came here in disguise, so it's not that easy to be recognized. Besides, who would have thought that a retired person like me would hang out in this film and television city." Zou Lianxun said with a smug tone.
"Mr. Zou, long time no see. I didn't expect you to come here. It's a pleasure to meet you." Just as Zou Lianxun was about to continue speaking, a voice interrupted him. It was Zhang Yixin.
Zou Lianxun raised his eyelids and said, "It's you. Have you finished filming your scenes?"
When he came over just now, Zhang Yixin was filming a crying scene, going back and forth, stuck and trying to build up his emotions. Director Wang had impatiently gone to eat, leaving this guy alone to ponder. He didn't expect that he would be able to come up to him and talk so soon.
"No, it's just that I'm not good at crying scenes. I've been filming them over and over again and they just don't come close. I'm so frustrated. I'm a newbie after all, and my acting skills are still far behind. I saw you, Senior Zou, here, so I came over to ask for your advice."
Zhang Yixin couldn't get close to Zou Lianxun easily. Actors like him and people from such a prominent family weren't in the same circle. Now that he finally had the chance, of course he wanted to get closer. Asking for advice was just an excuse.
Zou Lianxun actually wanted to roll his eyes. He had to hear this kind of excuse for chatting up people from time to time before he retired from the entertainment industry. But now he was really bored, so he just gave some pointers:
"Actually, crying scenes are quite easy to act out. The simplest way is to imagine something you love most, like a car. You win a prize in a lottery, but when you go to claim it, you discover the winner is someone with the same name as you, not you. Imagine that feeling, and you'll want to cry."
Zou Lianxun also gave a detailed explanation:
"This kind of crying is the kind that comes from being disappointed after being filled with hope and joy, the kind that comes from the death of a loved one. Imagine yourself starving to death, and then finally finding food, only to find it's rotten. Just imagine that feeling, and it will make you feel better."
Zhang Yixin was stunned. What the hell was this? Was this how Zou Lianxun always cried when he acted? Isn't it a bit of a joke to act out a crying scene like this?
Seeing Zhang Yixin's disbelieving expression, Zou Lianxun raised his eyebrows:
"Why, you don't believe it? I'm telling you, everyone's emotions are universal. As long as you find something that touches you, like when someone is at the end of their rope in the plot, and you think about yourself, with no money, no future, and how miserable you are, and cry your heart out, no one will think your acting is bad. Then there's absolutely no problem. If you don't believe me, try it when you get home later."
All I have heard is people being taught how to put themselves into the role and then find ways to make people immersed in the play. This is the first time I have heard of such acting. Zhang Yixin thought that Zou Lianxun's acting skills have always been very good, so could this method really work?
Originally intending to strike up a conversation and build closer rapport, he unexpectedly learned some acting tips. Zhang Yixin pondered the matter for a moment and then thanked Zou Lianxun earnestly.
"You're welcome. I've taught this move to many people, but not many have truly mastered it. It's never too late to thank me when you can actually use it." Zou Lianxun wouldn't tell Zhang Yixin that he was just teasing him.
"By the way, I've only known Sister Xiaoye for a few days now, but I didn't know that Mr. Zou and Sister Xiaoye also knew each other. I've been so busy filming these past two days that I haven't had time to take care of Sister Xiaoye. Don't mind me."
So is this care because of Shi Feiye himself, or because Shi Feiye knows him?
Zou Lianxun scoffed inwardly, thinking that Zhang Yixin had been spoiled to the point of not knowing how to handle things properly. He didn't bother to argue with him. Who among those who made it big in the entertainment industry didn't have a bunch of ulterior motives? He simply revealed his identity as Master Feiye:
"My second sister-in-law has always been good-tempered. She's also capable, talented, and beautiful. It's inevitable that people will like her wherever she goes. In fact, whether people take care of her or not is not important."
Hearing the words "Second Sister-in-law," Zhang Yixin was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned to look at Shi Feiye, but Shi Feiye didn't react at all. He subconsciously suppressed some of the thoughts in his mind.
Zou Lianxun's second sister-in-law, if I remember correctly, is the wife of Qin Buzhu who got into trouble yesterday?
