For Director Ma, this batch of new equipment was his pride. Now, after hearing Bai Rou's praise, he was even more proud, and couldn't stop smiling. "Yes, this batch of equipment is my favorite. I guess the person who gave it to me must be an expert."
Otherwise, how could it be so good?!
"Send?" Bai Rou stared at Director Ma, very confused.
Such good equipment was given as a gift?
Bai Rou's eyes rolled. Could it be him?
Director Ma realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject with a smile.
Bai Rou seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact, what he said went in one ear and out the other. After Director Ma finished talking about unnecessary topics, she smiled politely and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I have made a lot of money in the entertainment industry in the past few years, but I have always hated to see others suffer. So, Director Ma, you know, I often do some charity..."
"For example, we send food and clothes to left-behind children. Occasionally, we also anonymously send some things the crew needs."
"I am a soft-hearted person. I can't stand seeing others crying tears of gratitude towards me."
Director Ma was no fool. He quickly understood what Bai Rou meant. He opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Could it be that this batch of equipment is..."
Bai Rou immediately interrupted him unhappily, "Director Ma, I just said I don't like others to be grateful to me?"
Director Ma reacted immediately. He chuckled and sincerely thanked Bai Rou: "Miss Bai, I'd like to thank you in advance."
"Don't thank me so quickly." Bai Rou's tone was calm and she looked neither anxious nor impatient.
Director Ma thought Bai Rou was really angry, and said a little embarrassedly: "Then Miss Bai..."
Bai Rou: "Didn't your crew's funding chain break down a few days ago? It must have been someone under his command who made a mistake. Now, let me personally return it to you."
No matter who the new investor is, she will convey Mingjie's opinions to avoid being blamed by him later.
"You..." Director Ma was a little bit unbelievable. Bai Rou actually knew that it was Mingjie who invested in their play.
At that time, Mingjie said that only the two of them knew about this matter.
Thinking about it now, he finally realized that it was no wonder that Bai Rou gave the script to Xia Xingchen personally. It must be because she knew this that Ming Jie specifically asked Xia Xingchen to play the female lead.
However, if you think about it carefully, Bai Rou is an artist under Mingjie, and this matter is not an unforgivable crime. It is normal for her to know about it, right?
So... Xia Xingchen is also an artist newly signed by Mingjie?
But with Mingjie's connections, it's impossible for him to let his own artists perform such a bad script?
What's the problem between them?!
Bai Rou looked at Director Ma's expression and seemed to have guessed something. She didn't deny it, but admitted it directly, "Yes, it's just as you thought."
He didn't want to get too involved in the feud between them, as long as someone invested money.
Director Ma laughed happily a few times, "Miss Bai, please go back and thank him for me."
Bai Rou smiled politely, "Sure."
Director Ma continued, "In the future, if Miss Bai has time, you can come visit our crew often. We would be honored."
"Okay, I won't come less often." Bai Rou was not polite at all. If she hadn't had any notice now, she wouldn't have had time to come here.
At first, when Director Ma saw this novel, he had no desire to film it, because the play had no future and filming it would be time-consuming and laborious.
But since Xia Xingchen and the author of this novel have carefully polished it, Director Ma has been looking forward to this play more and more...
Although, he didn't know whether the drama would become a big hit after it was broadcast, but what he knew was that this time it would not be in vain as he expected.
Bai Rou had read the script of this drama before it was adapted. She knew that it would be a waste of time to film this drama. If it weren't for destroying Xia Xingchen's character, she wouldn't bother wasting her time here.
It has to be said that Mingjie really spent a lot of money to deal with this woman Xia Xingchen.
Each of them has his own thoughts.
Bai Rou had been on the set for a long time, but hadn't seen any scenes with Xia Xingchen. She remembered that when she first arrived, a young actor said that Xia Xingchen would have a big scene today, but she had been waiting for a long time, and Xia Xingchen hadn't started filming yet, so she was getting a little impatient.
Seeing how unskillful these newbies’ acting skills are, I guess Xia Xingchen’s acting skills are not much better.
She asked absentmindedly, "Director Ma, when will Xia Xingchen's scene be filmed?"
"Are you talking about Miss Xia? Her performance ends in the evening." Director Ma showed more respect for Bai Rou.
Bai Rou: "Since we're shooting tonight, Director Ma should give her two hours off. I have something to tell her."
"Okay." Director Ma agreed immediately. When he wanted to ask one of the staff members to go get Xia Xingchen, Bai Rou suddenly stood up and interrupted him, "I'll go to the crew's hotel and wait for her."
Upon hearing this, Director Ma stood up and tactfully asked the staff to lead Bai Rou.
Afterwards, he asked the staff to take Xia Xingchen directly to the hotel.
Perhaps the staff had received instructions from Director Ma, and they took very good care of Bai Rou. Not only did they order the hotel's most expensive set meal for her, they also had the staff serve her personally and did not allow her to be neglected at all.
She is the big sponsor of their play.
Ten minutes later, Xia Xingchen arrived at the hotel under the guidance of the staff. When he opened the door of the box, Bai Rou was sitting inside.
At first, Xia Xingchen thought that Director Ma wanted to talk to her about something, but she didn't expect it to be Bai Rou.
She naturally sat opposite Bai Rou.
When Bai Rou was about to drink, she caught sight of Xia Xingchen who had already sat down. She put the wine glass on the table and waved her hand. The two staff members left tactfully.
Xia Xingchen leaned back in her chair, her hands on her hips, sitting in a very cool posture. She looked at the table full of luxurious set meals and couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
Director Ma is really generous with Bai Rou.
She asked expressionlessly, "Tell me, what do you want from me today?"
Bai Rou smiled softly and looked around, "There's no rush to talk about things. Let's eat first. Miss Xia has worked hard all day. I guess she hasn't eaten yet?"
"Filming is tough work. How can we film if we don't have enough to eat?"
Seeing Bai Rou at this moment, a sentence suddenly popped up in Xia Xingchen's mind: The weasel pays a New Year's visit to the chicken, with no good intentions.
Xia Xingchen was too lazy to waste time talking to her and said straight to the point, "Miss Bai, please stop being so attentive. We are not that familiar with each other."
Bai Rou glared at her and gritted her teeth. Thinking that her arrogance would not last long, she calmed down a little.
She put down her chopsticks and stopped pretending. "I came here to tell you that I, Bai Rou, am also a person who keeps my word. I am not trying to embarrass Li Li."
"Since I have done what I said, Miss Xia, please don't run away at this critical moment!"
