Best star

Chapter 11

Yang Lei made an appointment with director Li Jing, and took Xu Qingmiao to his studio to discuss the script.

After Li Jing met Xu Qingmiao himself, observed his appearance and temperament, and chatted with him for a while, he felt even more suitable for the role of the leading actor.

Of course Xu Qingmiao also liked this role, and came to the director with great sincerity. The two had a very happy conversation, and the role had basically been decided.

Naturally, Xu Qingmiao didn't forget to confirm with Li Jing again and again whether he had already decided on this role with other people before, and he directly stated that he didn't want to be involved in the turmoil of stealing the role.

Of course, Li Jing repeatedly assured that he had never appointed anyone to play this role before, and also joked that Xu Qingmiao was too cautious, even if it had been agreed before, changing actors before the filming started was a normal thing in the entertainment industry.

Xu Qingmiao knew that what he said was the truth, but because he said these words so naturally, he felt a little uncomfortable. Due to various reasons, even if the actors were changed during the filming process, there would be occasional changes. Roles are more of a regular thing.But this is all for some unknown actors and less important roles. The bigger the star, the less this kind of thing will happen.

Xu Qingmiao and Yang Lei returned to the company after having lunch in the restaurant outside. Not long after they sat down in the office, the door was pushed open from the outside and hit the wall with a loud bang.

Xie Kaiyang looked gloomy, and looked at Xu Qingmiao with anger in his eyes, "Have you decided on the role of Liu Feiyun with Director Li Jing?"

Liu Feiyun is the name of the male protagonist in "Yunfeixu".

"That's right." Xu Qingmiao stood up and looked at him.

"This is the role I've been talking about with director Li Jing, you don't know about it?" Xie Kaiyang asked Li Jing to talk about this role many times, and it's no secret in the company.

"I know, but director Li Jing told me very clearly that he didn't appoint anyone to play this role before, including you of course. Since you have been rejected after talking to him several times, I will fight for it. Is there any problem?"

"No problem?" Xie Kaiyang smiled sarcastically, "You have to figure it out, this is the role I want to play, you don't think that you are qualified to compete with me for the role of cannon fodder in a foreign movie, right? ?”

"Xie Kaiyang, please speak with respect." Yang Lei said dissatisfiedly, "You failed to win this role, so why don't you allow others to fight for it? There is no such reason for any company."

Xie Kaiyang squinted at Yang Lei, "Shut up, you don't even have the right to talk to me in this company."

"Let me tell you." Xie Kaiyang approached Xu Qingmiao, pointed to his chest and said, "I may not be able to control other people who want to rob me of this role, but just because you want to rob me, there is no door. If you don't believe me, let's walk." Look."

Xu Qingmiao heard Yang Lei tell him about Xie Kaiyang's arrogance in the company, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. This was not only arrogance, but also domineering.As long as it is a role he wants to play, should others naturally avoid it and not compete with him?Even for artists of the same company, it is normal to compete fairly for the same role without confirming the actor.

Yang Lei comforted him and said, "Don't take it to heart, he is this kind of person, and he can play a big role in this company. After leaving this company, he is just a third-tier actor that not many people think about."

"He can be so arrogant and domineering in the company, which means that he is at least strong enough in the backstage of this company. Tell me, who is behind him." Xu Qingmiao felt that it was necessary for him to figure out all these relationships.

"It's good to tell you, but you know, don't be disappointed in this industry, you know, unspoken rules exist in the whole society, it's just that the atmosphere in the entertainment industry is worse than other circles." Yang Lei told Xu Qingmiao was vaccinated.

In Yang Lei's eyes, Xu Qingmiao was protected too well by his mother before, and she was a person who simply didn't know the dirty and ugly side of society.But what he didn't know was that it was Xu Qingmiao who didn't understand the ugly side of society, not Xu Qingmiao who had changed his soul now.

"Tell me, I didn't understand this in the past, can I not understand it all my life? I hope so, but who can create such an environment and conditions for me?" Xu Qingmiao has long been prepared to face these Things are ready.

"He and our company's largest shareholder have that kind of... physical relationship." Yang Lei felt that since he wanted to speak, he should speak more bluntly.

Qing Miao had already guessed what kind of relationship it was. The so-called unspoken rules were not like that. Even the former Xu Qingmiao couldn't possibly be ignorant of it.

Yang Lei continued, "The largest shareholder of our company is the president's uncle. The president is able to sit in his current position thanks to his uncle, so the biggest controller behind the company is the big shareholder. Many things the president can't follow. Do your own will."

"What kind of person is that shareholder?"

"What kind of person can he be? Rich and lustful." Yang Lei twitched his lips sarcastically and said, "His property is not just the shares of this company, he is quite rich. This company is completely different from before. The current artists are basically slept by him, and he is satisfied with the sleep, and then signed into the company."

Xu Qingmiao looked at him.

Yang Lei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Except for you, you used to be so fat, no one would have such a heavy taste and would want to sneak you, even if you were cheated, no one would believe it. But now it's different, you have to do Be mentally prepared, let’s avoid it if we can, I think it’s fine for this role this time.”

Xu Qingmiao felt that Xie Kaiyang had warned him so clearly, something would definitely happen, and he might not be able to avoid or not avoid this matter.

A few days later, Xu Qingmiao saw a news article on the Internet titled, "A certain artist's role-grabbing scandal". I feel that I can be regarded as an international superstar. At least there is no artist in the same company who can compare with him. The role he wants to play must be given to him by others...

Although no names are named in the article, netizens don’t even need to guess who it is with words such as child star birth, going abroad to lose weight, and participating in cannon fodder roles in international blockbusters.And Xu Qingmiao didn't need to guess, he knew who the news came from. The content of the news completely reversed him and Xie Kaiyang, and described him as arrogant and domineering. People who are in the eye.

Xu Qingmiao read the comments, and they were all scolding him. Netizens are not so easy to be deceived now, let alone a news released by a third-rate media that usually publishes gossip news. Netizens who have been repeatedly slapped in the face for many years , When seeing news like this, people usually don't believe it immediately and then attack immediately, but wait to see the subsequent changes in the situation, so those comments scolding him are obviously someone looking for a troll.

Yang Qin called Xu Qingmiao to the company. When he arrived, she was discussing something with Yang Lei.

"Qingmiao, sit down." Yang Qin signaled Xu Qingmiao to sit down on the sofa.

"You seem to have some bad news to tell me." Xu Qingmiao saw the expressions of Yang Qin and Yang Lei. Although he didn't know what they were going to say, he already had a premonition that it would definitely not be good news.

Yang Qin sighed and said, "It's really not good news. The company asked you to take a break for a while. The drama you talked about with Li Jing must not be accepted, and the company requires you to solve the news related to you by the company." , you can’t make any response yourself.”

"So in other words, the company wants me to acquiesce in those news, right? Even if I was slandered, I can't make any counterattacks, is that what it means?"

"Be patient, this was decided after a meeting with the company's top management." Yang Qin was also very helpless.

"It was decided by Xie Kaiyang. You said before that this company is now like a duck shop. I think this company is not so much a duck shop as it is the harem of the major shareholder. Xie Kaiyang is now the most favored one, so his Decisions can affect the decisions of the company's top management." Xu Qingmiao knew very well that as long as he was in this company for a day, he could only face this situation.

Yang Qin and Yang Lei looked at each other. They agreed with Xu Qingmiao's words in their hearts, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

"How did Director Li Jing reply?" Xu Qingmiao asked.

Speaking of Li Jing, Yang Lei's face darkened, "He has already decided to make Xie Kaiyang the lead actor, and the contract has already been signed."

"Oh." Xu Qingmiao couldn't help but sneered, "Xie Kaiyang really has some skills. If that's the case, it's fine for him to let Xie Kaiyang act in the first place. Why bother to make such a big detour."

Yang Lei said, "There was a problem with the original investor of their film, and Xie Kaiyang helped him get the investment again, so that the filming of this film can start as soon as possible."

"Xie Kaiyang hopes to become a first-line actor in the showbiz with this drama." Yang Qin told him, "So he is bound to win the leading role in this drama, and he has spent a lot of thought. You have offended me this time." , with his character, he definitely won't just let it go, no matter what happens in the future, there is no other way but to endure it, after this matter is over, let's think about it in the long term."

"This matter is all my fault." Yang Lei said with some self-blame, "I underestimated Xie Kaiyang. If I had insisted on letting you avoid him from the beginning, these things would not have happened."

Yang Qin walked to Xu Qingmiao's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Society is like this, everyone has to be patient, and the winner is the one who laughs last."
