Chapter 162 You're such a nobody, you don't deserve to know her name.
Chapter 162 You're such a nobody, you don't deserve to know her name.
"You forgot?" Jin Manman glared at him, shaking her head in exasperation. "He's the president of Zhongxing Entertainment, your ex-boss."
Cheng Ai blinked, then suddenly smiled, "Your vivid expressions are adorable, I like them."
Jin Manman paused, her face flushed red, and she twisted her two index fingers together. Before she could speak, she heard the other person ask again, "Qi Xingyue's interference, doesn't the director have any objections?"
She sighed and said helplessly, "The vast majority of actors are decided by the production team. If the production company insists on forcing someone in, no one has the right to interfere."
Cheng Ai tilted her head back thoughtfully and drank the water in one gulp. After a moment of contemplation, she asked, "Who replaced me so that I could record the variety show 'Dare'?"
Her thoughts jumped around so much that Jin Manman almost couldn't keep up, and it took her two seconds to reply, "The green-glowing Su Lixiang."
Cheng Ai continued, "What's his character like?"
Jin Manman racked her brains, thought for a long time, and said seriously, "She's not a big star, but she's a very good actress with no scandals. Gong Qian invited her back then because he was afraid she wouldn't have enough viewership."
Cheng Ai stroked the rim of the glass, her brows furrowed. "Aren't Hao Jian and Cheng Baoni quite popular? Does he have to worry about not having enough buzz?"
"A couple who become popular temporarily through hype will be discussed by netizens for a few days and then they will get tired of it." Jin Manman pushed up her glasses, looking very experienced. "If an artist wants to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, they must have decent film and television works. Otherwise, no matter how many appearances they take, they will only be a flash in the pan, self-admiring and will never become a superstar."
Cheng Ai put down her water glass and searched for Ye Jingke's name on her phone's browser. As she looked at one of his representative works after another, she gradually fell into deep thought.
It turns out that his enduring fame is all thanks to his hard work in acting.
Idols who are good-looking, talented, and have a good temperament are always the center of attention wherever they go.
As I pondered, a handsome face appeared in my mind, and the corners of my mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.
It seems she needs to see Zhou Yanfeng. Whether she passes the audition is another matter; the important thing is to gain experience.
Suddenly, the door to the lounge was kicked open, and a sharp voice rang out, "Fine, I told you to buy red wine and steak, but you're just hiding here slacking off. Do you really think I'm some kind of clay to be molded?"
Cheng Ai casually clicked on a movie starring Ye Jingke and stared intently at the screen.
Jin Manman turned her head and saw Qi Xingyue walking in gracefully in high heels.
With her arms crossed and a look of displeasure on her face, she angrily ordered, "What are you all standing there for? Get out there and buy it for me right now!"
Jin Manman calmly blocked Cheng Ai's path and coldly retorted, "Are you missing hands or feet? Can't you buy it yourself?"
As a qualified assistant, she must never let her master suffer any injustice.
Qi Mingyue raised her eyebrows and walked up to Jin Manman with a murderous look on her face. She looked down at her and said sarcastically, "Look at your poor appearance, are you worried about not having enough money to pay for it?"
After saying that, she took out several hundred-yuan bills from her small bag and threw them on the table next to her, raising an eyebrow and smiling lightly, "Here, that should be enough."
Before Jin Manman could react, Cheng Ai calmly said, "I think Miss Qi has misunderstood. We are not staff members. If you are really hungry, you might as well find someone else to serve you."
Qi Xingyue looked puzzled, her gaze passing over Jin Manman as she looked at her with suspicion, wanting to see what the other person really looked like.
Unfortunately, Cheng Ai kept her head down, her hair covering most of her face, so nothing could be seen at all.
She scanned the outfit from head to toe, her brows furrowing deeply. If she wasn't mistaken, the coat seemed to be a limited edition of the latest model, with only ten pieces made worldwide, making each one extremely rare and worth millions.
Who is this woman in front of me? I recognize all the big names in this show, but I don't remember her at all. Could she be a family member visiting the set?
Qi Xingyue's eyes darted around, unable to figure out Cheng Ai's identity, and she dared not make any rash moves.
She abandoned her previous arrogant demeanor and said sullenly, "May I ask your name? I will definitely pay you a visit another day when I have time."
People who can wear such clothes are either rich or noble. If you are lucky enough to be associated with them, your future path will definitely be much smoother.
Jin Manman secretly curled her lip. No wonder she's a celebrity, she changes her expression so quickly!
She cleared her throat, her eyes sharp and wary, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, "Excuse me, although my master isn't famous, she's still considered a celebrity. A nobody like you isn't worthy to know her name."
When I received Ye Jingke's call yesterday, I was only given two instructions: first, go to Lü Hanmo's house to get clothes for Cheng Ai; second, try not to take Cheng Ai to crowded places to avoid attracting gossip.
She always kept her boss's instructions in mind, and would never back down no matter how powerful the other party was!
Huh? A celebrity? Qi Xingyue grasped the key point.
She had already memorized the images of those actresses. Whenever they went out, they were always surrounded by a large entourage. How could they possibly only bring one assistant?
But how could an ordinary celebrity afford clothes from those luxury brands? Did they steal them?
Good heavens, no wonder those two were acting so suspiciously around the film set, they were picking out valuable items!
She's been having a bad run of popularity lately, why not take this opportunity to become a huge star?
Qi Xingyue pondered the matter, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She rushed out of the room like a whirlwind, shouting, "Help! Call the police! Someone's stealing clothes!"
Cheng Ai and Jin Manman exchanged a glance, both utterly shocked.
What's wrong with this woman? Is she out of her mind?
Jin Manman, fearing she would escalate the situation, rushed over to stop her, saying, "Don't shout, calm down, there's no thief here, don't shout!"
Her timid demeanor confirmed Qi Xingyue's suspicions, so she shouted even more loudly, "Stop thieves! They're trying to steal my money! Help! Help!"
The dressing room was in a secluded spot, surrounded by a very spacious area, and few people usually passed by. Qi Xingyue came here simply to find a quiet place to rest. She had a night shoot to do and wanted to appear on camera in her best condition.
Upon discovering that someone was inside, she planned to peek through the crack in the door first. If it was just an insignificant person, she would send them away.
When she saw that one of the people looked very much like the employee she had asked to buy red wine and steak, she angrily kicked the door open and stormed in.
The commotion was huge; within two minutes, a dense crowd had gathered.
Jin Manman instinctively tried to shrink back, but Qi Xingyue grabbed her wrist tightly and said righteously, "This person is an accomplice, and the one inside is the mastermind. Call the police and arrest them, then you can steal more things for free!"
Upon hearing this, two staff members immediately rushed into the lounge and carried Cheng Ai out. The crew had a lot of valuable equipment, and they couldn't afford to take responsibility if it were lost.
Jin Manman was on the verge of tears. If she had known this would happen, she would have obediently listened to that crazy woman.
