reborn star

After resting for a few days since the press conference, Li Mingrui became busy again.

This time, the crew of their crew is divided into two groups. The six leading actors will go to various places in groups of three to promote. In each group, there must be protagonists and supporting roles, men and women, so the final group is Ji Yabin, Xu Lishan, and Li Mingrui. A group of Yan, Liu Yan, and Yang Kexin.

So, within half a month, Li Mingrui flew around in the sky in a plane, but never returned to Songjiang City.

That night, he didn't answer Xiao Yan's question, and the other party finally hung up the phone. In fact, he didn't mind telling Xiao Yan the truth, provided that the other party was his ordinary friend, but he had already rejected Xiao Yan's pursuit. Still not giving up, the fundamental reason why he didn't answer that question was because he thought Xiao Yan had no position to question him.

The scandal between him and Xu Lishan was indeed a hype. The assistant director and producer of this drama decided to let a man and a woman who played the couple in the drama use the scandal to hype the drama, and let everyone speak in unison. When asked about it, he just asked three questions and didn't know anything. It was not until one month later that the attention of this scandal decreased, and then the company came forward to clarify the relationship between the two.

There are only three couples who can be mentioned as couples in the scandal, Ji Yabin and Gu Yan, Liu Yan and Xie Min, Li Mingrui and Xu Lishan, Ji Yabin and Gu Yan are big-name stars who have been single since their debut. On-screen couples, but fans who know something about the nature of the two will know that they are absolutely impossible to be together, and then Liu Yan and Yang Kexin, thanks to Liu Yan's high status, the director and the others have made other decisions about Liu Yan This person doesn't mind disclosing his background, why not use it in a more valuable place.

Therefore, it was decided to let the scandal between Li Mingrui and Xu Lishan last for a month before adding the news about Liu Yan.

"Your contract is about to expire, and the people above are urging you to renew it. If you want to continue in Huatian, you must hurry up. Director Chen's "Infinite Pursuit" is about to be filmed. According to internal sources, it has been selected recently. Actors, the list of actors can be finalized a few years ago, and the filming will start in the next year. I went to inquire. Can be brilliant, or..."

Holding the phone in hand, Xu Lishan interrupted the other person's words, "No, I must act as the heroine. If Director Chen can sign me as the heroine, then the value will definitely increase a lot. The company can sign me the best contract. My chance, don't persuade me any more."

"Alright then!" The other side sighed.

Xu Lishan hung up the phone with an uncertain expression. How to get Li Mingrui to help her as soon as possible is the most important thing at the moment. Since playing hard to get can't attract Li Mingrui, she has no choice but to take the initiative.

She first went to the mall to buy clothes, and then went to a store she frequented, and asked the clerk to pick out all the new styles of this season that were suitable for her. When her eyes fell on a black hollow dress, her eyes lit up. She changed into that sexy dress and sprayed some perfume on her body. Then she looked at her beautiful face and slim figure in the mirror, and listened. The clerk praised him endlessly, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

After returning to the hotel, she ordered takeaway, and waited for about half an hour for the food delivery person to arrive at the door of the hotel. She was wearing high heels, wearing sexy clothes, heavy makeup, and carrying a food package that didn't fit her, and knocked on the door of Li Mingrui's room.

In the past few days, after the group of them stayed in the hotel, Li Mingrui stayed in the room all day. She just wanted to find a chance to meet Li Mingrui but there was no chance. Li Mingrui, who lives in the same room, is alone.

After Li Mingrui opened the door for Xu Lishan, a polite smile appeared on his face: "What's the matter?"

Xu Lishan lowered his head and seemed to hesitate before passing the food forward: "I saw that you didn't eat, so I bought you something to eat."

"Ah!" Li Mingrui looked at her in surprise, then smiled and declined, "No, I'm not hungry."

Xu Lishan bit her lower lip, and when she raised her head, her eye circles were red and her eyes gleamed with water, and she said with a slightly trembling voice: "I regret...I regret that I couldn't control what I said to you that day, now You ignore me, you really hate me."

"You think too much." Li Mingrui said helplessly, "We are friends at work, you don't have to be like this."

"I just brought you food." Xu Lishan said cautiously, "Do you want to eat?"

Li Mingrui heard that someone seemed to be approaching nearby. He didn't want Xu Lishan to cry at his door for passers-by to watch, so he said, "Okay, but..." Li Mingrui's words were interrupted by Xu Lishan, "Then I didn't eat, I can come to you room to eat?"

When Xu Lishan entered the room, he took off his coat, wore a dress, and swayed back and forth twice in front of Li Mingrui with his bare back, but Li Mingrui didn't look sideways as if he didn't see him. He sent a message with his mobile phone, no matter how slow his response was , also felt that something was wrong with Xu Lishan, not to mention that he paid great attention to the defense between men and women, it was not good for lonely men and widows to live in the same room, and it was easy to provoke gossip.

Li Mingrui was really not hungry. He took apart the food, took a few mouthfuls symbolically, and put it back where he was. Xu Lishan, who was opposite him, maintained a ladylike posture, swallowed the food in small bites, raised his head from time to time and smiled shyly, and then looked up at her for the third time. When he looked at Li Mingrui with a smile on his face for the first time, he caught a glimpse of a man coming in through the half-opened door, specifically a bearded, round and fat old man.

Deputy Director Zhao was wearing slippers on his bare feet at the moment. As soon as he stepped into the room, the smell of stinky feet spread. The smile on Xu Lishan's face was stiff, and he didn't swallow the food in his mouth. .

Deputy Director Zhao entered the room and said, "Forget that you have a conscience, you didn't forget me when you had delicious food... Eh? Why is Shanshan here? You two are so serious. This fake show has really become a couple!"

Li Mingrui didn't seem to smell the smell, and said calmly: "You are joking, you came up with the idea of ​​hype, we are very innocent, just now Xu Lishan brought some food, I am not hungry, she is alone I couldn’t eat any more, so I wanted to call you over.”

So, the next dinner table was replaced by Xu Lishan and the assistant director.

Xu Lishan was about to vomit, but there was a forced smile on her face. She didn't dare to offend this tiger-like assistant director, and she was also deeply annoyed. mind.

After a while, when Xu Lishan was about to put down his chopsticks, Director Zhao said, "I just ate so much. I can't eat the rest. It's a waste to throw it away. Eat some more."

Xu Lishan didn't dare to offend Director Zhao, so she had to continue eating. Li Mingrui called Director Zhao to come, it was definitely on purpose!

"Hey, Shanshan, isn't it cold for you to show your back in winter, but your clothes are quite sexy, hehe...you smell so good, it just smells like my feet, you What brand of perfume is it, introduce it to me later, I will spray it on my feet."

Xu Lishan's face was flushed red, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, she tried her best not to lose her image, she could hear the slight sarcasm in Director Zhao's mouth, Li Mingrui, as a young rookie who just debuted, might not understand what she meant, But how could Director Zhao not understand.

But now that you've come, you can't go back empty-handed.

With a thought, she put down the bowl and chopsticks again, frowned slightly, and slightly opened the corner of her lips: "Actually, I came for a purpose... My contract with Huatian is about to expire. You know, when I was signed I was not qualified to negotiate terms with them at all, and most of the money I earned over the years was given to the company, so I want to take this opportunity to sign a better contract with Huatian."

Director Zhao is most optimistic about honest people who open the door and speak frankly. He squinted at Xu Lishan thoughtfully, chewing food in his mouth, and said after a while: "You can change to another company, and you can get the best conditions. You can still become the first sister who is highly praised by the company, but as long as you are in Huatian, your position will not change within three years. Now that Song Jiahui has stepped down from the position of the pillar, it seems that the one who can take her place is Gu Yan, Now Huatian's female stars are very competitive, five years, about five years from now, if you work hard enough and are lucky enough, you may be able to reach Gu Yan's current position."

Xu Lishan said eagerly: "Five years, I will be 30 years old in five years, I still have to wait so long... I will not leave Huatian, Huatian is the most powerful entertainment company in China, even if I am in other performing arts companies A sister, but the development is far inferior to that in Huatian, I'm not stupid."

Director Zhao grinned: "At the age of 25, you have already climbed to a height that many people can't reach in a lifetime. What's more, with your qualifications, you can't negotiate the best conditions with Huatian. In this circle, you are still content." Order."

Li Mingrui joked on the side: "You should be content, at my age, I'm not as good as you!"

Xu Lishan's eyes flickered, she was immersed in her own thoughts, "It is said that director Chen Ye is about to make a movie "Infinite Pursuit", if I can play the heroine in the film, then let my agent discuss with the company. , I should change the terms for me, after all, director Chen Ye has won so many awards and has such a status in the entertainment industry, the heroines in his movies are not unpopular."

Director Zhao opened his eyes wide and asked, "You mean Chen Ye who won the Best Director Award?"

Xu Lishan nodded.

Director Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed. He drank a glass of water, stood up and said to Li Mingrui: "I'll go back and catch up on sleep!" , just ignore her.

Director Zhao was able to abandon Xu Lishan and leave without hesitation. Li Mingrui had no choice but to leave even if he wanted to. This was his room with Ji Yabin. He couldn't ignore Xu Lishan who was sitting in his room, so he smoothed things over and said, "I heard Chen It is said that there are many people competing for the lead actress, even Cui Anqi, whom Director Chen is optimistic about, will compete. If you go, the possibility of success is really small. Although Cui Anqi is a singer, she is an actor after all. , when you accumulate some qualifications in the showbiz, you will have a chance."

Xu Lishan knew that Director Zhao thought she was high-spirited, but she was really not reconciled. Her ten years of experience as an actor was not considered qualifications. Cui Anqi just made her debut earlier than her and could sing better than her. In terms of acting skills, she may not be much better than her. , why can't she be the heroine?

She moved her body, sat beside Li Mingrui, and said in a low voice: "I know I'm not as good as Cui Anqi, but I really appreciate director Chen Ye's films. I used to be unworthy of being the heroine in his films, but now I After all, my image and acting skills are not bad, but it's a pity that I don't even have a chance, if I don't audition, how will you know if I can do it?"

Li Mingrui frowned slightly, and when he was about to speak, he heard the door card swiping and the sound of the door opening. Xu Lishan was tensely waiting for Li Mingrui's words, but at a critical moment when he heard Ji Yabin's return, Xu Lishan gritted his teeth secretly.

Xu Lishan brushed her hair, leaned slightly closer to Li Mingrui, lowered her body, and said inexplicably, "Will you sit with me?"

Li Mingrui refused: "No need, I won't disturb your rest."

It was the first time Xu Lishan saw such an incomprehensible man, and she kept complaining in her heart, but there was a nonchalant smile on her face, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

Ji Yabin looked at Xu Lishan swaggeringly away from the room with a little surprise, and said: "If I didn't know that you really don't like her, I would have thought your scandal was true... What smell, it stinks."

Li Mingrui was quite amused. He opened the window and said helplessly, "Xu Lishan came here out of nowhere, so I called Director Zhao. The so-called one thing is one thing, the ancients would not bully us, but the consequence is to 'enjoy' this Taste it."

Ji Yabin smiled, "Is that how the ancients explained me? What did Xu Lishan do here?"

"I don't know what she wants to do. At first, she wanted to have dinner with me. Later, she talked about renewing her contract with Hua Tian. In the end, she wanted to play the heroine in a new film directed by Chen Ye. It's that "Infinite Pursuit"."

Ji Yabin was stunned, "To tell you the truth, the male and female leading actors of this movie have been pre-determined. Director Chen has been preparing for this movie for two years. How could he temporarily choose the leading role? Since the role was decided half a year ago, the heroine is indeed sure." It's Cui Anqi, Director Chen and I have some friendship, so he told me about it, but the supporting role is still being selected, Xu Lishan may be able to play a female supporting role in the audition."

"So, Xu Lishan is out of play as the heroine?"

"It's [-]% useless." Ji Yabin asserted, and then he looked at Li Mingrui opposite him, looked around, and said, "Do you have a schedule after Chinese New Year? If not, why don't you try the supporting actor in this movie? What a great opportunity." ah."

Li Mingrui was taken aback, "I'm not famous. I just filmed "Summer Flower Language" and it hasn't aired yet. Even if I did, they wouldn't want me!"

"Don't worry about that. I know Director Chen quite well. Apart from external factors, he is more interested in acting skills. There was once a supporting actor who was neither famous nor good-looking but had good acting skills. He became popular in his plays. You Be confident, the actor in this crew has a background, and he can solve the investment problem, you just need to make good use of your skills." Ji Yabin is a person who turns words into actions, and said immediately, "Well, I will find him tomorrow morning Director Chen will get in touch and give you a chance to audition for a supporting actor."

Li Mingrui's heart moved slightly. Since he entered the show business circle, he has been embarrassed a lot. After joining the crew, he only maintained a superficial friendship with the crew, but no one except Liu Yan has ever helped him sincerely. He is grateful in his heart. No end, I can only say: "Thank you."

"I'm just pulling a line for you, it's up to you to make it happen." Ji Yabin smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Li Mingrui also laughed, but he hid his gratitude in his heart. He would deeply remember Ji Yabin's kindness to him, and he would repay him when he had the opportunity in the future.
