A huge LCD screen was newly installed on the outside of the TRE entertainment building, on which the personal introduction mv of the company’s popular artists was played in turn.
Jiang Xi’s section was a collection of clips from filming and TV series she made over the past year.
After getting out of the car, Jiang Xi couldn’t help but twitched the corner of her mouth and asked Lu Mengran, “Who cut these clips?”

Why didn’t it look right? Although other people’s were good, but hers seemed…
Jiang Xi pondered for a moment, and it felt strange.
Lu Mengran counted Jiang Xi’s movie clips, rolled his eyes in his heart, and said, “Mr Qin.”
Jiang Xi was choked. Only the shaking corners of her eyes revealed a few emotions.
Compared with a few months ago, Lu Mengran’s office did not change much. Jiang Xi sat on the sofa and listened to him talking to Li Mo.
Lu Mengran said, “Director Li, I am Mengran. Jiang Xi has picked up the heroine of the movie you mentioned.”
Not knowing what Li Mo said over there, Lu Mengran handed the phone to Jiang Xi, “Director Li wants you to answer the phone.”
“Hey, Director Li, it’s been a long time.”
“Long time no see.” Li Mo smiled politely on the phone, “You have been getting busier recently.”
“Director Li laughed.” She wasn’t getting busier, but during filming, she couldn’t accept other films.
“By the way, I’m going to make a new movie in the next year. This, Mengran must have told you that the protagonist will be Yan Yan for the time being. The heroine, I like you more. It’s just…” Li Mo turned around, a little apologetic , “Today the investor told me that if I want to shoot, the female number one wants Fang Weiwei to act.”
In filming, the investor gold master not only determined the main actors, but also controlled the future pattern of the entire film.
At the time of “Gonzi Qing”, Jiang Xi had already seen the power of investors.

Li Mo could not shy away from telling her this. It was not easy.
Jiang Xi’s face changed, but her voice continued to smile, “It’s okay, Director Li. We have more opportunities to cooperate in the future, not bad for this one.”
“Good.” Li Mo was generally very satisfied with Jiang Xi’s knowledge, “I will contact you again when I have the opportunity.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xi said, “But Director Li, can I ask, what is the name of your new play?”
“The Dandy”
It really was.
…
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xi asked Lu Mengran, “This year’s newcomer, there is a Fang Weiwei, how about?”
“The limelight is booming.” Lu Mengran said, “She will release a new album next Valentine’s Day. She went to Japan to shoot an MV today. I also heard that she is going to take over a movie, but I don’t know what the first movie was.”
This woman was too public. To be honest, Lu Mengran had no feelings for public actors, although there were many people in this circle who were famous for publicity.
“Director Li’s play is not bad.”
Lu Mengran was stunned, “She wants to play a supporting role in Director Li’s movie?”

Jiang Xi took a sip of tea and said, “No, it’s the heroine.”
Lu Mengran almost fell off the chair, “Director Li changed you?”
Jiang Xi raised her eyes, “Well, it is said that the investor specified that Fang Weiwei should be the number one female, otherwise he would withdraw his capital.”
Lu Mengran really didn’t know what to say.
Actors were often changed. Sometimes when a movie was about to be finished, actors were changed. Therefore, Jiang Xi was not a big deal.
Lu Mengran only felt a pity for Jiang Xi. The directors of the several scripts in his hand were all often awarded at film festivals, but in comparison, they were not as famous as Li Mo.
Jiang Xi just finished filming “2033” and he wouldn’t mention it. Domestic directors could match Rong An’s appeal. In another ten years, there would not necessarily be one. If Jiang Xi had been choosing according to Rong An’s film level, she wouldn’t even think about making a few more films in her life.
In that case, even if she was famous, it wouldn’t work. What was more, the entertainment industry was ever-changing, and newcomers were pouring out one by one, and if they didn’t pay attention, they would be kicked out.
Lu Mengran compared several other plays and said, “Director Li’s new movie role may not be suitable for you. I took it rashly before the script came down. Maybe it was a mistake. Or, let’s look at the others.”
Jiang Xi said, “It’s okay. You don’t have to have director Li’s movies. Other directors’ movies, as long as they are good scripts, I can do it.”
Lu Mengran gave a hum, and then invited Jiang Xi to the president’s office.
The people in the secretariat were not surprised to see Jiang Xi. After talking to Qin Cheng on the inside line, he invited Jiang Xi in.

Just two minutes after Qin Cheng hung up Lu Mengran’s phone, he saw Jiang Xi and asked tentatively, “Did you think about taking a film recently.”
“I want to rest for a while.” Jiang Xi didn’t know Lu Mengran secretly ventilated with Qin Cheng, waved her hand, and said, “There are not many good movie scripts recently. So I’m not in a hurry.”
Qin Cheng couldn’t laugh or cry. He thought he was really worried about it. She was robbed of the role, and she was not sad at all, but her endurance had improved!
However, her ability to withstand pressure seemed to be strong.
To comfort her in the evening, Qin Cheng invited Jiang Xi to eat western food.
The restaurant was opened by a Frenchman, with a completely European style, with French romance.
Jiang Xi held a large handful of roses and sat in the corner.
“There are no boxes here.” The gentleman Qin Cheng opened the chair for her, “If you don’t like it, we can go to other places.”
“No.” Without a few bites of food during the day, Jiang Xi was hungry early. So she said unceremoniously, “If you want me to starve to death.”
Qin Cheng placed an order immediately.
They arrived early, and the two steaks were served quickly when the restaurant was not crowded.
When Jiang Xi saw the meal, she stopped talking, and just ate it.
She didn’t want to step into the ranks of starving artists.

Qin Cheng looked at her, lowered his head and cut his own share, and pushed it to Jiang Xi’s hand. He asked for the same.
After Jiang Xi finished one serving, she was pleased to see the other one on hand, and ate it after serving it.
After she had eaten and drank enough to rest, Qin Cheng drove her home, and for tomorrow’s breakfast, he stopped halfway and went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables.
Going downstairs in the apartment, the two walked side by side, like an old couple who had lived for a long time.
After entering the apartment, Qin Cheng closed the door and said, “Li Mo’s movie, if you want to act, it’s not impossible.” With their Qin family business, it was not a problem to make a movie.
Jiang Xi put on her shoes, went to the kitchen to sort the dishes, then wrapped them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. When she came out, she held two cups of warm water in her hands, one for Qin Cheng, one cup in her hand, and said, “No need. Director Lee’s movies are good, but I don’t have to make all of his movies. Other directors are not without good script.” She was just curious. Who was the investor of the new movie? Miss Fang Weiwei would never condescend to accompany people to dinner.
“I heard that the investor of the new movie is the Fang family.” Qin Cheng said abruptly the news he had just received, and then quietly looked at Jiang Xi.
“It turned out to be them.” Jiang Xi said, “No wonder.”
The Fang family had a big family business, so they could get involved in the film industry for their children and grandchildren.
Jiang Xi had didn’t matter to me expression, but Qin Cheng felt her change.

He put down the water glass, gave her a hard hug, then let go and returned to the room.
Jiang Xi stood there in silence, gradually raising the corners of her mouth.
That night, Qin Cheng made a phone call after Jiang Xi was asleep.
