I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 570 This glass of wine is so white

The row of houses next door was brightly lit, and two low tables were placed on the living room floor.

On the low table were two steaming cloisonné copper pots, surrounded by various ingredients.

Besides Da Mimi's team assistants, makeup artists, and seven or eight other young actors who also played roles in Taihuang Mountain and Sea Realm, Repa was also present.

She had just left a production crew for a few days from a show called "Qin Dynasty Bright Moon" on Qianjiang TV. She didn't have any scenes to film this week. After finishing an advertisement, she flew to Haixi to film the female demon in "Taihuang Mountain and Sea Realm".

I got off the plane in the evening.

The reason Repa took on this role is mainly because Jiaxing and Qianjiang TV have reached a deep cooperation agreement to promote Repa.

Besides the drama "Qin Dynasty Moon", Jiaxing is also discussing with Qianjiang TV the possibility of Repa replacing the soon-to-be maternity leave baby as a regular female guest on "Run Fast".

"Run Fast" is currently very popular, with its ratings crushing other variety shows. Not to mention the regular members, even the guest stars have to make "resource exchanges" to appear on the show.

Such gimmicks as "the only female member of the permanent team" require more resources to be exchanged, and it is likely that multiple parties will need to exchange resources, not just one party.

For example, if big shot A wants to promote actress A, big shot B wants to promote actress B, and C wants to get their own actress on a show, they not only need to exchange resources with the show's producers, but they might also need to exchange resources with A and B.

Similar to multi-team trades in the NBA, it could involve seven or eight teams, all in the hopes that one team can successfully acquire a superstar or the number one draft pick.

Sometimes it's not even the big shots who directly step in; it's the brokerage firms, advertising agencies, and investors who act as intermediaries behind the scenes. Plus, the program producers aren't a unified entity; they each have their own connections.

Ultimately, the resource swapping process is likely more complex than the NBA game.

Of course, the big baby hopes that no regular members will come during her "maternity leave," and that two female guest stars will come each episode.

But she also knew that this was impossible. Many young actresses in the industry were eyeing her position on "Run Fast," waiting for her to "take a postpartum leave" so they could take her place.

Zheng Da Ke, Zhao Bao Zi, Song Qian, Crown Princess, Nazha (a competitor of Repa), and even Tang Yan (who was previously on par with Yang Mi), are all constantly trying to win over Qianjiang TV, making the competition extremely fierce.

Originally, Repa had no advantage in the competition, but now it is able to lead a group of competitors and catch the eye of Qianjiang TV, which has little to do with Fang Yu.

It mainly relies on good-looking fruit and grapefruit.

With Jiaxing constantly buying trending topics, the popularity of Repa in the past six months has been extremely high. In terms of traffic alone, it is not much less than that of Yang Mi.

The fan groups are fearless, well-organized, and extremely powerful, much like a cult.

The leader's ID is Yuzu30610921.

This almost caused a falling out between Da Baobei and Da Mimi, but they were just "plastic" friends anyway, and neither of them considered the other a friend.

Yugo Games didn't hire any real amateurs; most of these young actors had only acted in one or two dramas.

Many people were secretly observing Fang Yu sitting next to Yang Mi, wondering about the background of this young man who was about their age.

How come this person is so familiar with Yang Mi?
And it seems that the person opposite him is also very familiar with him.

A newcomer signed by Jiaxing? Doesn't seem like it; she doesn't have the feel of someone in the industry...

Could it be the young male dog that Sister Honey is raising?
Repa is so introverted; she doesn't even dare to speak in front of Sister Mi.

Huh? The way she and Honey were looking at that handsome young man was really strange.

There's something fishy going on here!
Especially the hot ones, their eyes and expressions are too obvious.

Some with a keen sense of smell immediately noticed the unusual behavior of Da Mimi and Repa.

Among these young actors, one or two were brought in by Jiaxing, and they know a little about the situation. Now they don't dare to lift their heads, for fear of seeing something they shouldn't see.

"Yingying, I heard you're leaving tomorrow night? Even though we've only known each other for a few days, I'm really going to miss you."

A short-haired actress, her eyes darting around, slurped the end of her chopsticks and whispered to the beautiful actress next to her.

The short-haired actress looks like she's had cosmetic surgery; the results are quite natural, but she does look a bit like Lu Han.

Yingying, looking quite stylish, picked up a cabbage leaf from the hot pot, gazing at the copper pot with a mixture of hunger and longing: "I'm also reluctant to part with you, Xiaoyun. Our scenes will wrap up tomorrow, but we won't be able to rest yet, as we still have to do promotions for 'Three Lives Three Worlds' for the next week."

An actress named Yingying was holding a small bowl of condiments, slurping the end of her chopsticks, complaining, but anyone could tell she was showing off.

"The day after tomorrow, I'll go to Haipu, the day after that to Kuaiji, Jiangning, Luzhou, and the day after that to Yuelu. After participating in Happy Camp, I'll rush to Hengzhou that evening, finish the activities in Hengzhou the next morning, and then take the high-speed train to Jiangxia in the afternoon."

Xiaoyun put down her chopsticks: "Why are you in such a rush? Isn't it supposed to be released in a month?"

Yingying sighed, "This time we're mainly going to universities to promote our products. In a week or two, the students will have their final exams. After the exams, they will all go home, so we need to finish the university roadshow before the final exams."

"Sigh, it's a pity it's winter now. If it were spring, I could go to Jiangda University to see the cherry blossoms. I saw photos online, and the cherry blossoms there are so beautiful."

Yes, not only are the cherry blossoms beautiful, but the male students in the library are also good-looking, so good-looking that you could film a two-hour video.

Xiaoyun's eyes flickered as she glanced at Repa and asked casually, "Repa is the second female lead in your show, why isn't she doing any promotional tours?"

After saying that, Xiaoyun tucked her hair back and said, "She just joined the Mountain and Sea Realm team today, so she can't possibly leave with you tomorrow, right?"

Hearing Xiaoyun's question, Yingying lowered her head and said, "We all follow the company's arrangements. We do whatever the company tells us to do."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyun smiled slightly and asked seemingly casually, "Hey, by the way, who's that handsome guy next to her? He looks pretty good."

Yingying glanced quickly at Fang Yu, who was chatting happily with a young man, and said insincerely, "Is he a friend of Sister Mi? I don't know him."

A friend of Da Mimi?

More than that, right? Da Mimi chatted with the person next to her for five minutes, and she glanced at him three times. Repa's face was practically contorted with embarrassment.

Didn't they say that Yang Mi has found a new backer? How come she dares to flirt with young men so openly?
Wait, could it be that...

The actress named Xiaoyun seemed lost in thought.

Seeing Xiaoyun's expression, Yingying became a little nervous: "Xiaoyun, you don't mean you want to be with him..."

Xiaoyun chuckled as she chewed on the end of her chopsticks: "Yeah, what a handsome little puppy he is. You don't see many like him in the industry. I like this type."

Yingying was dumbfounded, thinking to herself, "You really dare to think like that. If Sister Mi finds out, she'll definitely blacklist you."

Besides, weren't you pushed over by director Wang Jun? The whole crew knows you're one of Wang Jun's people. You've only just gained some fame and you already think you're incompetent? Is it really okay to offend your backer like this?

"He looks younger than you, doesn't he?"

Yingying couldn't bear it and tried to persuade her.

"I just like girls younger than me~"

Xiaoyun winked at Yingying: "What, he has a girlfriend? Didn't you say you didn't know him? Why are you so nervous?"

"I really don't know him, I'm just saying."

Yingying immediately shut up and continued eating the cabbage, no longer talking to Xiaoyun.

Good advice is useless against a damned devil. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you.

Xiaoyun was figuring out how to make a move when she heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll go open the door!" The young and handsome Zhang knew he was the least important person there, so he volunteered to stand up and run to open the door.

"Here we are, who is it...?"

"Sister Feifei!?"

Xiao Zhang's exclamation came from the doorway.

"Ah, hello."

Liu Feifei smiled kindly at Xiao Zhang and stepped into the living room.

"Wow, so many people! It's so lively!"

As soon as Liu Feifei entered the room, she saw a room full of men and women.

Apart from Da Mimi and Fang Yu, everyone else stood up abruptly and greeted Liu Feifei somewhat awkwardly.

"Sister Feifei."

"Hello, Sister Feifei."

……

"Ah, hello everyone, hello everyone." Liu Feifei greeted everyone like a kitten scratching its paws. An actress to Da Mimi's right quickly moved aside, saying, "Sister Feifei, please sit down."

Liu Feifei smiled and thanked her, but didn't sit down. She walked to Fang Yu's side and smiled at the young man to Fang Yu's left: "Excuse me, may I sit here?"

The young man was flattered and quickly made way for her, saying, "Sister Feifei, please sit down."

"Thanks." Liu Feifei took off her coat and handed it to the young man. "Could you please hang it up for me?"

The young man swallowed hard as he looked at Liu Feifei's exposed white arms, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

Seeing Liu Feifei arrive in a red dress to cause trouble, Da Mimi said irritably, "What are you doing here? Don't you have any food?"

Liu Feifei looked completely innocent: "Huh? Didn't you ask Tingting to invite me?"

Upon hearing this, Da Mimi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

I was just being polite, did you really take it seriously?
"Are you alright?" Fang Yu took a disposable bowl and chopsticks and placed them in front of Liu Feifei.

"Yes, it's alright, thank you." Liu Feifei looked at Fang Yu with her bright, clear eyes and smiled.

Xiaoyun's gaze sharpened as she watched the interaction between the two.

Liu Feifei knows him too? And it seems...

It can't be wrong! It definitely can't be wrong!
Xiaoyun felt her heart pounding.

An opportunity! This is an opportunity!
Xiaoyun glanced at the restrained young actors without showing any emotion, and a sense of arrogance welled up inside her.

You bunch of ignorant fools, always talking about resources, but the biggest resource in the industry might be right here, and you don't even know it.

Haha, you deserve to fail.

We need to think of a good way to take him down.

Xiaoyun brought the cup to her lips, glancing at Liu Feifei and Da Mimi.

Hehe, so what if Liu Feifei and Da Mimi are together?

As long as I can stand on the same platform as you, I can crush you all!

When Liu Feifei entered, everyone immediately fell silent.

It's impossible for things not to be quiet. These two sisters are notoriously at odds. If one of them says the wrong thing and is mistaken for taking sides, it's not a good thing.

If I absolutely have to offend one...

I'm sorry, Feifei, I can only side with Mi.

Who told you to be easier to talk to than Sister Honey?

Good people deserve to have guns pointed at them.

However, it seems that the two are not so bad off now. After all, it seems that Yang Mi took the initiative to invite Liu Feifei, and Liu Feifei did come, without even bringing an assistant.

By the way, I heard the other day that Yang Mi slapped Little Yellow Duck because of Liu Feifei.

The relationships within this circle are a mix of truth and falsehood, and nobody really knows what's going on.

Maybe they're just a group of girlfriends working together to create hype?
"Eat up, everyone eat! Don't worry about me, why are you all staring at me?"

Seeing everyone's restrained expressions, Liu Feifei joked.

"Hey Repa, come on, let's have a toast." Liu Feifei raised her limp disposable plastic cup, which contained the cigarettes Tingting had bought. She winked at Repa across from her and downed it in one gulp.

Liu Feifei has a decent alcohol tolerance; for a period of time, she would drink about 100ml every night.

"what?"

Hotpa raised her glass with a bewildered look, thinking to herself, "Sister, we're not close, don't bring me up."

"Sister Feifei, I'm Chen Xiaoyun. We've met on set before, but I'm from Sister Mi's group, so you might not recognize me."

Xiaoyun stood up obediently, turned sideways and bent over to offer a toast.

"Ah, hello, hello, please sit down, don't stand, drinking while standing doesn't count."

Liu Feifei picked up her glass, smiled, and clinked it against Chen Xiaoyun's.

"It's alright, I'll sit down and offer another toast."

Chen Xiaoyun smiled obediently, straightened up, and drank it all in one gulp. Then she covered her mouth with the back of her hand, coughed twice with her brows furrowed, and looked like she couldn't hold her liquor.

Taking advantage of coughing to the side, he shifted his gaze towards Fang Yu, and their eyes met.

Haha, I saw it.

Don't stand? How can I bend over if I don't stand? What will he see if I don't bend over?
She was wearing a slightly unsaturated light pink, loose-fitting thin sweater. When she bent over to the side, the neckline was right in front of Fang Yu.

This wine is so white.

Oh no, this glass of wine is huge.

"Sister Mi, I just heard from Yingying that you're leaving the crew tomorrow and will be traveling to seven cities in the next four days. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I wish you a safe journey and take care of yourself."

Chen Xiaoyun obediently toasted Da Mimi again, coughed twice, and as the alcohol was absorbed, her cheeks flushed, her eyes became hazy, and she looked even more delicate and weak.

A young man standing nearby felt sorry for Chen Xiaoyun and quickly reached out to stop her, saying, "Xiaoyun, that's enough, stop drinking."

Yingying's expression changed. "What do you mean by that? Doesn't that make Sister Mi think I love to gossip?"
Why is Chen Xiaoyun so tacky?
After Liu Feifei arrived, fewer people talked at the dinner table, and with less talking, they ate faster.

"It's too late, and we have filming tomorrow, so let's not disturb Sister Mi's rest."

Xiao Zhang was perceptive; seeing that Liu Feifei had stopped eating, he spoke up at the opportune moment.

As soon as Xiao Zhang spoke, many aspiring artists, who were already feeling uneasy, also took their leave.

"Sister Mi is treating us to dinner. Let's guys divide up the tasks and tidy up the things."

Xiao Zhang stood up: "Da Bin, you sweep the floor, I'll tidy up the table. Xiao Yi, you and Yunxi put away the chairs and throw away the trash."

Seeing Xiao Zhang assigning tasks to the young men, Fang Yu and Da Mimi exchanged a glance.

This young man named Zhang Xincheng is indeed quite good. Although he is not very old, he has a good eye and a good appearance. Let's see if we can sign him.

"Dude, don't just sit there. Judging from your accent, you're probably from the north. None of us have ever made this kind of hot pot before. Do you know how? Could you help me put out the fire and wash the pot?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu's face darkened.

That Zhang is so clueless, actually ordering me around!

No wonder they don't know what a surprise within expectations is.

He lacks comprehension.

When Da Mimi saw Fang Yu's expression, she burst out laughing.

When Da Mimi laughed, Xiao Zhang rubbed his hands awkwardly, immediately realizing that he seemed to have made a mistake.

"Then what, I..."

Just as Xiao Zhang was about to speak, Fang Yu stood up with a helpless expression, touched his nose, and said, "Never mind, I'll do it."

Fang Yu first closed the fire door, put the lid on the fire bucket, and steadily carried the cloisonné copper pot weighing more than 20 kilograms in both hands, walking towards the inner kitchen.

The first floor of this villa has a L-shaped layout. The dining room is actually separate, but since it couldn't accommodate so many people, a low table was set up in the living room instead.

The kitchen is located inside the dining room.

A glint of light flashed in Chen Xiaoyun's seemingly dazed eyes.

opportunity!

"I'll wash the dishes. I'm the one who washes the dishes at home, and I'm really good at it."

Without saying a word, Chen Xiaoyun stacked all the empty plates on the two low tables together, and carried the plates into the kitchen.
