Chapter 234: The "Irritable" Movie King vs. the Bad Movie Star 3
Jiang Meng is the gold medal agent of Star Entertainment. She has helped many artists become famous, but her biggest failure is Lan Xing, so she has always wanted to make her famous to restore her reputation.
Other artists have done things like what happened today, but most of them are not clean to begin with, and after being threatened by something like this, they can only let her control them. What's more, there are too many people in the entertainment industry who have become famous through love affairs, so it is good for both parties.
But this time it was Lu Fengqiao, the nobleman who gave up his inheritance of billions to venture into the entertainment industry.
Not to mention that Lan Xing is an unknown celebrity, even if a popular actress had a scandal with him, she would be humiliated.
Now that Lu Fengqiao knew the truth but did not react, it made her even more worried.
Thinking about this, Jiang Meng's face became paler and paler. He grabbed her arm and asked in panic, "Did he say anything to you?"
Shaking his head, Lan Xing asked back, "What should I know?"
Jiang Meng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was still as naive as ever.
He pretended to coax her again: "After something like this happened, you should probably adjust yourself. Do you want me to help you turn down a few announcements?"
There is not much work to begin with, and if I really turn down the Blue Star job, I will just be living a life of idleness.
Jiang Meng was able to grasp this point, so Lan Xing could only smile bitterly: "No need, it would be bad for me to postpone something I promised."
It was rare to hear such professional words from her, and Jiang Meng smiled with satisfaction.
"Let's send you to the interview first. Director Feng can't find a suitable candidate for the female assassin I told you about last time, so he's screening online. Let's try our luck."
Director Feng? Lan Xing thought about it carefully. This person is a very famous film director in this novel.
In the original story, Lan Xing did have an appointment to meet him today, but she was unable to go because of the incident at Lu Fengqiao. In fact, Director Feng was originally very satisfied with her image, but he just didn't have time for the interview.
Of course, what was not mentioned was that the special guest actor of that movie was Lu Fengqiao. If I could get the interview, I would have more opportunities to meet him.
So in the rare opportunity to meet him, she had to take the role.
"it is good."
Jiang Meng had other artists to arrange, so she sent her to the interview location and left, leaving only her assistant A Feng.
A Feng is a girl who just graduated from college. She is shy and not good at speaking, but she is trustworthy in her work.
Knowing that she had an interview today, she had already brought clothes for the interview as Jiang Meng requested.
This movie is called "Dreamless Chang'an", an ancient suspense film. The leading actors are all national first-class actors. The lineup is strong and there are many who want to join the crew, so the requirements will be very high.
When Lan Xing arrived at the interview booth, there were already quite a few people queuing up for the interview. It was dazzling to look around, and some second- and third-tier stars were also vying for this role.
After registering his name, Lan Xing went to the side and waited.
"There's a lot of competition," she sighed as she looked at the long line.
Ah Feng nodded, but still comforted her: "It's okay, sister, just give it a try. When Sister Jiang sent your photo before, it was Director Feng's assistant who personally called to ask you to come for the interview, which means you still have a lot of advantages."
Call in person? She is a little-known actress. Apart from the fact that she was photographed by passers-by on the street without makeup and was on the hot search, everything else was just gossip. How could she have any advantage?
Before she could figure it out, someone called her.
"Blue Star, get ready. You are next."
So fast?
Lan Xing looked up at the people being interviewed in front of him. Almost all of them were let out after just a quick look, without even having time to say a word.
Seeing her distracted, A Feng urged her, "Sister, go in quickly. In front of you is Sister Bai Hua. You can go in first to see how she conducts the interview, so as to avoid making mistakes."
Bai Baihua is the popular young actress who became famous because of a sweet pet drama and her male lead. She was only an 18th-tier star before, but because of this drama, her status has been elevated to an unknown level.
Lan Xing pushed open the door of the interview booth and Bai Baihua just came out.
She was dressed in exquisite ancient costume and holding a prop sword in her hand, and it was obvious that she was fully prepared.
When she saw Lan Xing, she was surprised and nodded slightly.
Lan Xing was not familiar with her and also curled the corners of his mouth.
Just as she was about to step in, she spoke up: "I heard that you were drunk last night. I wonder if you are sober today."
Lan Xing paused and turned to look at her: "If you are not sober, why would you come to the interview?"
"Really? You're trying to steal this role from me. I really thought you were not sober."
She chuckled and raised her hand to invite her in.
Is this a provocation? Yes, it is just to stir up trouble.
Looking back calmly, Lan Xing looked her up and down and smiled: "Only someone who is not sober would say something like opening champagne at halftime."
After saying this, he walked straight into the shed without caring about Bai Baihua's expression.
The assistant next to her glared at her and coaxed Bai Baihua, "With her current status, she is not even worthy of carrying our shoes. Sister, don't be angry with her."
Bai Baihua snorted coldly and his gaze fell on A Feng who was trying his best to make himself look insignificant.
He took two steps forward and said sarcastically, "You are in big trouble following such a troublesome boss. You might as well follow me."
Ah Feng lowered his head and murmured softly: "No sister, thank you for your kindness, I don't want to change jobs for the time being..."
Bai Baihua sneered, "You're shameless," and left with his assistant.
When Lan Xing entered, many staff members were busy inside. It was obvious that time was very urgent. The interview location turned out to be a half-built shed that was still under construction.
Director Feng Ke, who was sitting at the interview table, looked exhausted and had a bad complexion.
Probably because the right candidate hasn’t been found yet.
The assistant next to him called out, "Come here Lan Xing."
She walked up to Feng Ke expressionlessly and said softly, "Hello, Director. I'm Lan Xing."
Hearing this, the director finally raised his eyes and stopped flipping through the resume.
She was wearing an ordinary white T-shirt and jeans today, and her hair had just been combed into a bun. She looked very refreshing and gave people a lot of room for imagination.
After looking at her for a few times, Feng Ke obviously relaxed a little, leaned back slightly, and asked her mechanically: "Why did you come to interview for this role?"
Lan Xing blinked and started to talk nonsense: "I want to be a good actor, so that the audience can see a different side of me."
The director's eyes fell on her resume, which was shorter than others, and his brows furrowed.
"speak English."
She said without hesitation, "I want to get promoted."
Feng Ke seemed to have a switch pressed. He suddenly smiled and then became expressionless again.
"What preparations have you made?"
Bluestar secretly glanced at the item box at his feet, saw a broken sword inside, and smiled.
"I can wield a sword."
She came in without taking anything, so when Feng Ke heard her say that, he rarely teased her: "Are you being naughty or showing off your sword skills?"
After understanding what he meant, Lan Xing continued: "If you are given the opportunity to show off your sword skills, then show off your sword skills. If you are not given the opportunity, then show off your skills."
The assistant nearby thought that this was some kind of Chinese listening game and looked at the director in confusion.
The director curled his lips and raised his hand to signal her that she could begin.
Lan Xing didn't say much. He bent down, picked up the sword abandoned by the prop team, and performed a standard fist-clasping salute.
The assistant whispered beside him, "It looks impressive, but I don't know how strong it is."
Feng Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, crossed his arms and watched her walk to an open area.
"It's time to start."
Lan Xing nodded and began to search for the skilled swordsmanship in his confused memories.
She moved her wrist to make sure she would not fall over, then she raised her sword with a cold look. The next moment, the sword light floated, mixed with various complicated movements and difficult backflips, which instantly made everyone in the studio stop what they were doing and look at her.
Feng Ke raised his eyebrows, his lips curved up, he picked up her resume and looked at it carefully, then turned his head and whispered something into the assistant's ear.
The assistant was startled, glanced at Lan Xing, and asked, "What about Bai Hua..."
"A girl who is so stupid even when playing a silly and innocent role, do you want her to change my suspense into a sweet romance?"
The assistant understood and turned around to make a phone call.
A beautiful ending move made everyone in the room applaud her, and Lan Xing also walked in front of Feng Ke.
"Have you learned martial arts?" he asked tentatively.
Lan Xing nodded: "I have practiced a little."
Feng Ke smiled with satisfaction and handed her the prepared script.
"The electronic contract will be sent to your company later. Here is the script. You don't have a lot of scenes. Go back and prepare. You will join the crew in three days and it will be finished in about a week."
Although she was prepared to take it down, she didn't expect it to be so quick.
After a pause, she raised her eyes and asked, "No other questions?"
The director leaned back and looked at it curiously, "Do you have anything else worth asking?"
Looking down at his resume, which had almost no advantages, Lan Xing shrugged.
"Just take it as your compliment."
Feng Ke raised his eyebrows and signaled that she could go out.
Lan Xing took the script and left calmly, as if everything was within her expectations.
After the assistant contacted Lan Xing's agent, he came in and saw Lan Xing leaving. He asked curiously, "Is it because she knows martial arts?"
Feng Ke picked up the resume and handed it to him, explaining patiently: "This role looks simple, but it is difficult to perform, so we can only find a girl who fits the character's temperament."
"You mean she has good temperament?" The assistant questioned: "Her previous scandals..."
Feng Ke interrupted directly: "If it was just her face, I was originally planning to just meet her, but when she came in today, her life-or-death temperament made me sure that only she could do the job."
The assistant frowned: What do you mean by a temperament that can survive or die? I have never heard of it in my life.
But choosing the roles is the director's job. He is just an assistant, so it's okay for him to be curious, but not too many.
"Then I will inform the remaining candidates that they don't need to prepare."
Feng Ke nodded.
When she went out, A Feng was answering the phone. When he saw her come out, he quickly hung up the phone and walked up to her to congratulate her with a happy face.
"Sister, you are amazing. Sister Jiang just said that the contract has been sent!"
Lan Xing breathed a sigh of relief and immediately removed his persona.
If she didn't know what kind of personality Feng Ke had, she really wouldn't be able to handle him.
"Okay, let's catch up on the next announcement. Oh, my phone is broken, can you buy me a new one?"
Ah Feng nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, sister, I'll get it done for you in a moment."
She didn't have many announcements to respond to, and she finished them just in time to get off work.
A Feng had also bought the cell phone, but he was a little hesitant when giving it to her.
"Sister, why don't you stop looking at the trending searches..."
Judging from her expression, Lan Xing probably guessed that the incident with Lu Fengqiao should have topped the list.
Sure enough, when I clicked on the hot search, the screen was full of big words.
[The movie star surnamed Lu secretly meets an 18th-tier actress! ]
[Will the honey trap used by Star Entertainment be successful again? ]
[Lufeng Bridge collapsed! ]
……
I clicked on the comment section and took a look, and saw that all kinds of curses had hundreds of thousands of likes.
[What kind of aloof personality is this? It’s finally exposed. What about the honey trap? I think it was Lu Fengqiao who took the initiative. Otherwise, with his ability, how could others get close to him easily? ]
[This is a common trick used by Star Entertainment. Look at the female stars in their company, how many of them have not slept with them? ]
[Look at how Lan Xing was interviewed today. He didn't seem forced at all. He was actually very happy.]
[How could a man like Lu Fengqiao still be a virgin? It just happened to be exposed by this greedy woman this time. He might have slept with many people before.]
[Blue Star, go to hell! Don’t touch my brother! ]
……
It was pretty much what she thought. According to the original plot, after the original owner called the police, Lu Fengqiao was taken away for investigation directly, and the insults online were even harsher than these people.
Now they were just photographed leaving the same hotel, there is no real evidence, and everyone is just following the trend.
She looked again at the photo taken by the reporters of Lu Fengqiao leaving the hotel. After she left, that guy actually changed into a flirty deep V dress and walked past all the reporters with a cold face.
Indeed, one cannot act guilty. After making a deal with her, he was obviously much calmer.
Ah Feng was worried about her mood and comforted her: "Many of Lu Fengqiao's fans are brainless fans, don't mind it."
Lan Xing casually browsed through the pages and saw a comment saying, "Maybe they are just in love, you are overthinking it."
Everyone below called her a psycho or a fool, saying that Lu Fengqiao could never like her or something like that.
I slid my hand and clicked "like".
Ah Feng was shocked: "Sister!"
"Oops, my hand slipped."
Ah Feng frowned, looking miserable, "...Sister, I saw it."
Lan Xing glanced at her calmly, counted to three seconds, and withdrew his like.
"Okay, look, I really didn't mean it."
Ah Feng was so anxious that she was spinning in circles. Sister Jiang had just told her to keep an eye on it and not to respond to this matter. What should she do now?
Lan Xing patted her shoulder and got into the car with a happy look on his face.
"Keep calm. I've seen all kinds of storms."
Ah Feng could only pray in his heart that no one saw it during those three seconds.
However, things did not turn out as she wished. In less than two minutes, Jiang Meng called her.
"Are you in love with Lu Fengqiao?"
There was a hint of expectation in the other person's tone, but not much.
