Variety shows are crazy but don't cause internal conflict; I'm proud to drive others crazy

Chapter 68 Celebrating Qixi Festival? No, this is Teacher Liu celebrating her seventh-day memorial service.
The director gave Jiang Nanxi the contact information of the TV series director, saying that he had already contacted the other party and that she could audition for the female lead.

Jiang Nanxi was always wary of the idea of ​​something for nothing, so she asked, "If I get the lead role, will the pay be higher?"

"Of course, the female lead's salary starts at a million, and she has a lot of screen time. She'll definitely earn a few tens of millions after filming this series."

"Director, you're such a loyal friend! I'll definitely film variety shows with you again in the future."

The director gave an awkward smile.

Actually, the main reason he recommended Jiang Nanxi for the female lead was because of Liu Qingyan, the Best Actor.

After Jiang Nanxi left, the director called Director Zheng of the TV series, "Old Zheng, I've talked to Teacher Liu about your new drama. Consider it repaying the favor you did for me before."

Oh, by the way, I also recommended a newcomer for the female lead. You absolutely must cast that newcomer! When you contact Teacher Liu, remember to mention that the female lead is Jiang Nanxi; he'll definitely accept the role.

"Okay, okay, thank you!"

After returning to her rented apartment in Beijing, Jiang Nanxi contacted Director Zheng and began preparing for her audition.

Three days later.

When Jiang Nanxi went to the film crew for her audition, she met Liu Qingyan and even acted out some of the male and female lead scenes with him.

After the audition, Jiang Nanxi looked at him in surprise and said, "This time the script is a romantic drama about a wealthy family. Didn't the internet say that you don't take on these kinds of romantic dramas?"

Liu Qingyan tilted his head and glanced at her, then said indifferently, "Can't I try to push myself a little?"

"Acting in idol dramas is a breakthrough for you?"

"Yes."

Liu Qingyan's previous award-winning roles were not in idol dramas; he acted in suspense dramas and spy dramas, and had never acted in an idol drama.

Last time he said he had played a domineering CEO, and that he played a seemingly refined drug cartel villain in a suspense drama.

Jiang Nanxi fell into deep thought.

Seeing her suddenly quiet down, Liu Qingyan checked the time and said, "It's lunchtime, shall we go eat? I said I'd treat you to dinner last time."

Jiang Nanxi chuckled, "You finally remembered! I thought you were going to stand me up!"

A few days ago, after the variety show ended, Jiang Nanxi sent several messages to Liu Qingyan, hinting that he would take her out for a big meal, but Liu Qingyan didn't reply.

Liu Qingyan chuckled softly and said, "I had a notice a few days ago, but I was too busy and didn't see the message."

Jiang Nanxi: "..."

Before the audition results were released, Jiang Nanxi went to have dinner with Liu Qingyan.

Arrived at the restaurant.

She discovered that this most popular and highest-rated Michelin-starred restaurant in the capital was completely empty, with the waiters respectfully lined up at the entrance waiting for them.

Jiang Nanxi asked in confusion, "Why are there only two of us customers? Are there so few wealthy people in the capital? Or is this restaurant just famous but actually not very good?"

Liu Qingyan sat across the table, casually flipping through the menu, and said, "The taste is indeed just average, but if you insist on eating here, then this is fine."

Jiang Nanxi raised her hand like Ultraman, "Then I request to change locations temporarily, I want to eat something delicious."

Liu Qingyan: "Received, but I disagree."

Jiang Nanxi: ?

Jiang Nanxi sat sullenly in her seat, cursing Liu Qingyan a hundred times in her heart.

While Liu Qingyan was ordering food, Jiang Nanxi was playing on her phone with little interest, and then she realized... today was actually Qixi Festival.

Shen Lan and Song Wanwan officially announced their relationship today and even bought a trending topic on social media.

Shen Lan V: [For the rest of my life, it's all about you. If you want it, I'm willing to give you the whole world. @Song Wanwan V] Song Wanwan V: [Thank you, darling. [shy]]

Jiang Nanxi V: [What?! He's going to give you the whole world for Qixi Festival? What about us ordinary people? Where are we going to live? [crying][crying][sobbing]]

[Haha, Jiang Nanxi is here late but she's got it! Hilarious, the cheating husband and his mistress are going to make it official?!]

Jiang Nanxi broke down, and so did I. After all, I'm still in this world. Does Shen Lan mean for us to leave this world?

[Damn Qixi Festival! I hate all you couples who want to give gifts to the whole world. I got paid today and wanted to go to a Michelin-starred restaurant, but the waiter said someone had booked the whole place for Qixi, and they wouldn't even let us eat?]

[It wasn't us, my girlfriend and I spent Qixi Festival at a roadside stall [crying][crying]]

It wasn't us either; we were at the hotel.

[It wasn't me. I'm single, and I didn't get to eat either.]

Jiang Nanxi V: [Haha, I've finally eaten at a Michelin-starred restaurant! After this, I'm getting out of Shen Lan's world.]

Shen Lan: ? ? ?
Netizen:? ? ?
Instantly, countless people flocked to Jiang Nanxi's Weibo and saw the photos of the Michelin-starred meal she posted, which was even a candlelight dinner with candles on the table.

Because of Jiang Nanxi's reply, Shen Lan also noticed Jiang Nanxi's location, and zoomed in on the picture she posted to look at it again and again. Finally, he judged from the light and shadow that there was a man sitting opposite Jiang Nanxi!
Shen Lan couldn't help but comment, "[Are you really that hung up on me? You spend Qixi Festival with another man, and you still can't help but comment on my post?]"

Jiang Nanxi didn't reply, so Shen Lan commented again: "Oh, I see. You just picked some random guy to spend Qixi Festival to make me jealous? But let me tell you, we're over."

Jiang Nanxi V: [Who celebrated Qixi Festival?]

Shen Lan V: [Weren't you having a candlelight dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant? Aren't you celebrating Qixi Festival?]

Jiang Nanxi: ? ? ?

What kind of candlelight dinner?
Didn't Liu Qingyan say that this was because she ate too much and exceeded his budget, and that he lit the candles for her on the seventh day after her death?

Jiang Nanxi remained silent for a moment, her heart filled with conflicting emotions. She couldn't help but look up at Liu Qingyan, wanting to ask him if he had deliberately chosen to have dinner with her on Qixi Festival.

Then she looked up.

Then Liu Qingyan stuck three chopsticks into the rice, looked at her with a smile, and said, "You've already eaten thirty pieces of foie gras, fifteen slices of cake, twelve French pork pies, ten Wellington steaks, eight roasted lamb chops, eighteen Australian lobsters, and five king crabs. Are you full? If you're full, you can get going."

Jiang Nanxi burped. "Slightly full. Didn't you say you'd treat me to dinner? What's wrong with eating more? Don't be so stingy as a man. If you're this stingy, you'll never get a wife."

Jiang Nanxi wanted to order another serving of everything she had just eaten, but Liu Qingyan forcibly dragged her away from the Michelin restaurant.

Jiang Nanxi stood at the entrance of the Michelin restaurant, gazing sadly at the sky at a 45-degree angle. "There's a saying that's true: the richer people are, the stingier they are. They won't even let you eat your fill when they treat you to a meal."

Liu Qingyan: "Is this how you eat? How big is your stomach? Aren't you afraid of overeating and getting sick? I'm more afraid you'll end up in the hospital and come to me for compensation. Okay, let's go for a walk by the river to exercise and digest our food."

Jiang Nanxi continued to look up at the sky sadly, "I'm not full."

Liu Qingyan: "Stop thinking about eating and not about exercising. You're a celebrity, don't you need to maintain your figure? Don't you enjoy the process of exercising?"

Jiang Nanxi: "Indeed, exercise is a pleasure, but I don't like exercise because I'm not the kind of person who craves pleasure."

Liu Qingyan:?

Jiang Nanxi turned around and rushed back to the restaurant. Liu Qingyan couldn't stop her, and in the end, she insisted on eating more than 200,000 yuan of Liu Qingyan's money.

The next day, Jiang Nanxi received a notification that she had passed the audition and would be able to join the film crew in a few days.

However, after some time, when Jiang Nanxi went to the film set, she was informed that her role had been changed.

The kind of change the director made at the last minute.

The lead role was given to another actress, whose role was a maid in the wealthy male lead's household, with only three scenes and a pitifully low salary.

Jiang Nanxi: ?
