Best star

Chapter 20

After "The Overlord" became popular, the actors in the play began to attend various events, and Xu Qingmiao also received many invitations to events.

Because there are not many artists in the company he works for that can help the company make money, so the president can only ask Xu Qingmiao to go out to pick up activities, if they can help the company make a little money, other things will be discussed after the popularity of the show subsides.

Under the protection of his assistants and bodyguards, Xu Qingmiao walked out of the crowd and left the event site. Some of the crowd surrounding Xu Qingmiao were just here to see the excitement and want to see the stars, and some really liked his role in the play, so they came here specially support him.

After getting into the car, Yang Lei saw Xu Qingmiao, who was smiling just now, but now expressionless, and asked, "What's the matter? Are you in a bad mood?"

"It's nothing." When Xu Qingmiao thought of the company's attitude of giving him alms, it was difficult to get better. He wanted him to help the company make money, but he was always thinking of suppressing him. He still had to suffer. Such days, yes Individuals can't survive.

"Could it be because Xie Kaiyang's play is about to be aired, so I'm in a bad mood?" Yang Lei guessed.

"His drama is going to be broadcast?" Xu Qingmiao really didn't pay attention to the progress of Xie Kaiyang's drama, but since Yang Lei mentioned it, he still asked curiously, "When exactly?"

"It just happened to follow "The Overlord". After your drama is over, theirs will start. I don't know where their confidence and courage come from." Yang Lei curled his lips in disdain.

"Yunfei Xu" started filming before "Battler", although the filming was interrupted for a while, but their shooting time was relatively short, just in time for "Battler" to air.

The role of Liu Feiyun was the one that Xu Qingmiao immediately saw at the time. He was very curious about the effect of Xie Kaiyang's performance, so when "Yun Fei Xu" was broadcast, he watched two episodes on the Internet.

After barely watching two episodes, Xu Qingmiao couldn't watch it any longer. This acting and production made him, who was always picky about film and television works, have the urge to self-destruct.

Thinking about Xie Kaiyang actually wanting to rely on this show to take a step further in the entertainment industry and become a first-line actor, just like Yang Lei said, where did he get his confidence?

Facts have proved that it wasn't that Xu Qingmiao was too picky, even viewers with normal tastes couldn't accept this drama.The changed messy plot has aroused strong dissatisfaction among book fans.

Although Xu Qingmiao couldn't watch it anymore, because Yang Lei complained to him almost every day, and described to him how bad the netizens scolded him, he also understood the general plot of the show.

At the time, he still thought it was strange why the plot that Yang Lei complained about seemed to be different from the plot in the script he had read before.Later, through Yang Lei's gossip, he found out that the show was filmed while changing, and Xie Kaiyang asked for many changes.He suddenly felt that he was not able to take on the show, which was a very fortunate thing, but it was a pity that the good plots in the original book were too bad.

The company held a quarterly banquet, Xu Qingmiao, as the company's most profitable artist in the first half of this year, of course couldn't be absent.

"Look over there." Yang Lei motioned to Xu Qingmiao indistinctly, and said in a low voice, "The one on Xie Kaiyang's right is the largest shareholder of our company."

Xu Qingmiao pretended to glance over there inadvertently. He was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with an ordinary wrinkled face and a fat figure.A person who no one would take a second look in the crowd is the real manipulator behind this company.Looking at the way Xie Kaiyang stood next to him, it seemed as if he was afraid that others would not know the relationship between the two of them.

Xu Qingmiao originally thought of showing his face, and then looking for an opportunity to leave while others were not paying attention, so he didn't go to crowded places, but when the president saw him and waved him to go, he couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

Peng Jun introduced to the middle-aged man, "Third Uncle, this is Xu Qingmiao, he can be said to be our most valuable artist now."

Peng Hongxiang looked Xu Qingmiao up and down, nodded and said, "Before, I only saw photos on the news and on TV. When I saw him today, I really look good. I have a bright future."

"Boss Peng is over the top." Xu Qingmiao said modestly, but in his heart he was very disdainful of their praise. He was about to be crushed into the dust in this company, and his future was boundless.And the way Peng Hongxiang looked at him just now made him feel very uncomfortable.

Peng Jun said, "Those manufacturers who asked him to endorse and attend events told me that he was very dedicated and would continue to look for him in the future, and his acting skills were even praised by director Liu Zhan. I think that if we focus on cultivating He can bring greater benefits to the company, what do you think, Third Uncle?"

Peng Hongxiang smiled and raised his wine glass to Xu Qingmiao, "Let's have a good chat sometime. A valuable talent like you cannot be buried."

Xu Qingmiao still just smiled modestly. Peng Jun praised him so suddenly today, which didn't make him feel happy, but had a very bad premonition.

The other people beside him also echoed the words of the two Presidents Peng, and praised Xu Qingmiao one after another, but Xie Kaiyang's expression became more and more gloomy.

Xie Kaiyang had a bad time during this period. Not only was his acting skills severely criticized, but the fact that he wanted to harm Xu Qingmiao was brought up again because of the broadcast of the TV series.

But Xu Qingmiao was enjoying a happy life. Not only did she become popular with the role of the male number three, but judging by Peng Jun's attitude, she also wanted him to replace her in the company.He has been with Peng Hongxiang for the past few years, as long as Peng Hongxiang looks and moves, he will know what he is thinking, this pervert must have attracted Xu Qingmiao's attention.

The more Xie Kaiyang thought about it, the more angry he looked at Xu Qingmiao, wishing he could shoot him dead with a laser, but when he found that Peng Hongxiang's eyes had been fixed on Xu Qingmiao, he finally couldn't help but said, "Mr. Peng, I feel a little uncomfortable, can you Can't the driver take me off?"

"Oh?" Peng Hongxiang looked at Xie Kaiyang's face, then looked back and forth between him and Xu Qingmiao, and said with a smile, "Since you're not feeling well, I'll take you back."

"Then trouble Mr. Peng." Xie Kaiyang smiled at Xu Qingmiao when he turned around and left with Peng Hongxiang.

After that, Xu Qingmiao socialized with other people for a while, and finally found a chance to escape, and quietly left the banquet hall.

Sitting in the car, Xu Qingmiao thought of Xie Kaiyang's inexplicable eyes and smile when he left, and felt ridiculous in his heart. He really thinks everyone is as picky as him? .

Now he only hopes that Xie Kaiyang can really hold Peng Hongxiang, and don't let him come to trouble him.

But unfortunately, Xu Qingmiao's wish came to nothing. After that, Peng Hongxiang asked him out several times. He made excuses and refused once, twice, or three times, but he couldn't continue to refuse like this. He couldn't offend people too much for the time being.

Xu Qingmiao and Peng Hongxiang made an appointment to meet in a rather elegant tea club. He thought that in such a place, Peng Hongxiang could never do anything to him.

"Do you usually like to drink tea?" Peng Hongxiang ordered a pot of Pu'er, and the tea artist next to him performed a complete set of tea making procedures, and then served the brewed tea to the two.

"It's not like I like it, but I drink it once in a while." Although Xu Qingmiao is not addicted to tea, he often drinks tea, and he is also very good at making tea, but there is no need to let Peng Hongxiang know about it.

"It's really not easy to meet you. There are so many artists in the company, and you are the first one that I have to invite so many times to meet you." Peng Hongxiang looked at him with a half-smile.

"I've been feeling a little uncomfortable recently. Please forgive me for neglecting Mr. Peng." Xu Qingmiao actually wanted to say that it was you who made me feel uncomfortable.

"Actually, you really don't need to avoid me like this." Peng Hongxiang said straight to the point, "As a person, I still prefer you. I will give you what you want, and you will give me what you want. This is good for everyone. , isn't it?"

"What do I want?" Xu Qingmiao put down the teacup and smiled, "What can you give me that I want?"

"People who enter this circle, don't they all want to be popular?"

"Are you sure you can make me popular? Xie Kaiyang followed you, and it's not like that now." Xu Qingmiao said that very politely, but Xie Kaiyang's current situation is already too dark, and it is not easy to clean up the white matter.

"That's his own problem. I didn't miss anything that should be done." Peng Hongxiang said, "But I think you are different from him. He has nothing but a face, but you are both internal and external. I will give you Whether a ladder can go straight up to Qingyun is up to you."

Xu Qingmiao asked, "What if I don't want to?"

"Let me tell you this, whether you are willing or not, the final result will definitely be the same." Peng Hongxiang looked calm and relaxed.

"You're so confident, it will be the result you want in the end?" Xu Qingmiao felt a little ridiculous about his self-confidence.

"You still have several years of contract with the company, right? Youth is fleeting, you should cherish it."

"You can continue to let me rest, I don't care." Xu Qingmiao was unmoved by his threat.

"You really don't want to eat hard and soft." Peng Hongxiang frowned, and put down the teacup heavily, "I'll give you time to think about it, but don't take too long. I'll say the same thing, whether you want it or not, the final result will definitely be different." It's what I want."

In fact, Peng Hongxiang had noticed Xu Qingmiao a long time ago. He didn't make a move at the beginning. He wanted to sharpen his spirit, so he deliberately indulged Xie Kaiyang to make things difficult for him.I thought that his company would give in because of Xie Kaiyang's anger and unfair treatment, but he was quite stubborn.However, he has plenty of means, and he is not afraid that he will not give in.
