coronation of stars

Chapter 7 The Pearl and Jade Controversy (4)
"But for tomorrow's invitation, can you and Brother Luo accompany me?"

Shu Li sighed deeply.

Then she stretched her eyebrows and showed Qiao Yan an extremely rare, light and genuine smile.

"it is good."

Wine table culture is a very wonderful knowledge.

It was formed in the local area, and it is also carried forward in the local area. When it appeared, it was a drink with side dishes, but in the end it was defined as a display of life; a glass of wine can be shared by two people and become brothers of life and death. The carrier of temptation; some people think that people who drink a thousand glasses of wine are at ease, but some people only like to observe the true temperament of others after they get drunk and lose their temper.

For this reason, some people have even drawn up and summarized dozens of norms of wine table etiquette for research and pondering as a code of conduct. They don't know what they can gain in the end by studying this day after day.

Cao Rui is the type of person who believes that things can only be discussed at the wine table. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to have so many strict standards in mind to measure people. Unfortunately, his desire to control is quite strong.This may be a habit naturally cultivated after being a famous director for many years. In short, Luo Ming has been in the entertainment industry for many years. When he picked up the glass again amidst Cao Rui's persuasion, his face was already a little pale.

"Director Cao loves me, so I'll have another drink. I can't do it any more..." Luo Ming drank the wine in the glass in a few sips, turned over the glass and pointed at Cao Rui, "Director Cao's huge amount is also out of control." Famous, Shu Li has an average drinking capacity, you know, Qiao Yan, a girl who just graduated from university, pours down a few glasses, so after thinking about it, I have the cheek to follow, because I am afraid that Director Cao will not drink to his heart's content, thinking Tonight, I won’t go home until I’m drunk with Director Cao.”

"Now it seems that I have overestimated myself... I feel like if I have another drink, I'll have to drink it under the table." Luo Ming shook his head a bit sluggishly, looked around the room, and yelled with his tongue out.

"Lili? Qiao Yan? Are you still able to leave? Director Cao and I have a good chat tonight! I want to give up my life to accompany the gentleman! Let's drink together until dawn! You guys go back later... oh, wait, I have to call Da Liu to drive to pick you up, where is Da Liu? No, where is my cell phone?"

As he spoke, he started flipping his phone up and down with great interest, but failed. He looked dazed and unhappy. He slapped the wine glass on the table and poured another glass of wine: "Don't worry about that, come on. , Director Cao, drink!"

"Let me call." Shu Li didn't stop Luo Ming from raising his glass, but took the conversation cooperatively.Luo Ming said that Shu Li's drinking capacity is generally too modest. As a gold medal agent, Shu Li can not only drink very well, but also looks much more sober than ordinary people when she is drunk. With her golden body broken, no one has seen her goofing off so far.

But the smartest thing about her is that she is good at taking advantage of being a woman, and she can often get away before things get out of control.

Today, with Luo Ming standing in front of her, she didn't need her to chat with Cao Rui while drinking, and she didn't need her to stand in the way of Qiao Yan's drinking. cup.Shu Li took out her mobile phone and dialed the number, said a few words and then put the mobile phone back into her bag.In fact, she had asked Da Liu to drive over and wait outside the hotel an hour ago, and the call now was just to inform him that he would be available later, so there was no need to say more.

Liu quickly called back. Luo Ming claimed that he wanted to get drunk with Cao Rui and refused to go back with Shu Li and Qiao Yan. Let Qiao Yan go first? Come to the audition on time the morning after tomorrow."

Cao Rui had another drink with Luo Ming during the toast that Luo Ming insisted on, followed the voice and raised his head to look in Shu Li's direction, but the focus of his eyes fell on Qiao Yan.

"I think Qiao Yan is almost drunk, why don't you take a rest nearby?" He smiled kindly, Shu Li paused when he heard that, Luo Ming half prone on the table, frowning unobtrusively.

coming.

Any actress who wants to get ahead, want to be popular, and want to climb up will go through this kind of thing.The young and beautiful girl is in line with the early adopter mentality of many high-ranking people, always thinking about trying to see if she can kiss Fangze.This kind of thing sounds disgraceful, but few people would really think it is dirty. After all, many actresses are also eager to climb to the top. Don't tell anyone.

Kaixing has always protected artists very well in this regard, and will respect the actors' own ideas to the greatest extent. Whether they want to follow the trend or want to be clean, the company will not interfere.But the basis of all this is that Kaixing's artists are still too transparent, they have not really faced the situation of being favored by big shots, and they can't imagine that rejecting such an opportunity means that they will continue to struggle at the [-]th line for many years.

Cao Rui is such a director who if he misses a chance, it means he misses a chance to win a position. Shu Li regained her friendship with Cao Rui and almost sacrificed all her face. I thought it was recommended by Mu Ting and Wei Ze, plus Shu Li's Cao Rui wouldn't have any other intentions to pull the strings, and Qiao Yan called Luo Ming to prevent trouble before it happened. I didn't expect Cao Rui to say that sentence after all.

There may be many reasons for this. Maybe Cao Rui feels that the friendship with Shu Li is indeed weak enough. Maybe Mu Ting and Wei Ze don't know what principles Qiao Yan adheres to in dealing with people. Maybe it's because he met Qiao Yan today and was indeed attracted Qiao Yan was bewitched by his picturesque look.

The most real reason is that no matter whether it is Kai Xing or Qiao Yan, the background forces are too insignificant.

On such a battlefield where there is no blood but there is a life-and-death battle, the stronger one is, the more one can do whatever one wants, and the weaker one is, the more difficult and dangerous one step will be.So over the past few years, Qiao Yan's acting skills have been honed to a very good level, and any starring role in a slightly reliable TV series still depends on [-] points of hard work and [-] points of luck;
However, Kaixing treats artists so preferentially and trains them in the most secure and solid way, but Qin Fei and Li Shana still leave one after another.In the face of strong coercion and temptation, few people seem to be unshakable. Qin Fei is an example, and Li Shana is also an example. Now...is it Qiao Yan's turn?
Qiao Yan looked very drunk.

She also drank a lot tonight, although Luo Ming could block some for her, but she must not stop drinking his persuasion to save face for the director.Basically, when Luo Ming blocks a drink for her, she will drink one. Even if the total amount of drinking is immediately drunk, it is not uncommon.

She seemed to drink better than the average rookie, but now her cheeks were dizzy, her eyes were blurred, and she only retained the last trace of sobriety.The eyes of the three people in the box fell on her. She was stunned for a few seconds, as if she had just realized what everyone was watching her for, and quickly shook her head to refuse.

"No need for Director Cao, our company's driver has already arrived." She showed a simple and bright smile to Cao Rui, her eyes were still a little confused, and she looked very well-behaved, "After going back, I have to take a rest and read the script. It’s the script Director Cao sent me, the one I’m going to audition for the day after tomorrow. I’ve watched more than half of it, and wrote a lot of my own experiences, but I haven’t finished it yet. I have to hurry up and go back and get ready... I know I’m here for dinner and drinks, I didn’t bring the script, so I’m dying of anxiety now.”

"Okay, okay, then you go back first, I'll wait for your audition the day after tomorrow." Cao Rui looked at Qiao Yan for a while, and felt that the other party's ignorance of the world was a normal performance of a little girl, and he didn't care for such a simple girl. In a hurry.

Kaixing is still the same as always, he protects the artist too well, doesn't he know that the more simple he is in contact with the rules of this world, the faster he learns?So he smiled kindly, and didn't say anything about asking Qiao Yan to stay.Shu Li took the opportunity to say goodbye to Cao Rui, and helped Qiao Yan out of the box.

Rejecting Cao Rui's hint tonight will inevitably lead to some bad results for Cao Rui, but Qiao Yan's response is sincere enough and enough to save face, and the current amicable face is already in the best state.

The two walked out of the box in silence, got into Liu's car after leaving the hotel.Shu Li originally wanted to sit in the co-pilot's seat and let Qiao Yan lie down in the back seat to rest for a while, but Qiao Yan grabbed her, and cold sweat gradually appeared on her face after being blown by the night wind.

"Sister Li," Qiao Yan leaned on Shu Li and said in a low voice, the makeup on her face could no longer cover her pale complexion, "Go to the hospital first."

Qiao Yan is actually very bad at drinking.

It's not that I'm allergic to alcohol, and it's not that I pour it in one glass, but that my body will reject it after drinking too much.In addition to the unavoidable irregular work and rest in filming, she has always lived a healthy life and usually does not smoke or drink. This may be the reason why she is extremely uncomfortable after drinking a lot of alcohol suddenly.

But no matter how many reasonable difficulties there are, no matter who puts the wine glass in front of her now, she has no way to refuse.

After the three of them arrived at the hospital, they struggled for a while. In the middle of the night, there was no one in the emergency department of the hospital. The doctor prescribed two bottles of intravenous drip for Qiao Yan and told her that she could go back after hanging the water.Shu Li followed the nurse to pay the money, and when she returned to the emergency room, she found that the lights in the corridor were on, and Qiao Yan sat on the back of the chair with her head lowered, looking very quiet with downcast eyes.

She had a script on her lap, one page in the middle and back.

Even Shu Li, who has experienced a lot of wind and waves, felt her eyes shiver when she saw the scene in front of her.Over the years, she has brought many artists, and met a lot of all kinds of beings.To put it bluntly, the relationship between an artist and an agent is nothing more than a combination of interests. The agent is a long-term cooperation with the artist during his tenure.

Strange to say, Luo Ming is naturally the one who has worked with her for the longest and happiest these years. Speaking of Qiao Yan, in fact, she has not taken care of Qiao Yan for a long time. Put too much energy on her.

But she has always liked this talented and hardworking little girl.

In all fairness, Qiao Yan is actually not that good at being a likable character. She doesn't have much to say to the people around her, but she is very strict with herself.Maverick, sometimes is a kind of out of gregarious.

She is not popular yet, and she has to smile at everyone, and the stubborn edges and corners under the soft shell are not yet obvious.But if one day she can stand out in the future, such a personality will definitely not be able to be concealed, and it will arouse the resentment of a considerable number of people in the circle.

Therefore, when Kaixing discovered Qiao Yan, he obviously felt that her acting skills were outstanding and surprising, but he did not immediately make her a key training object, but let her continue to experience under the various directors of various crews, and had many interactions with different people. I made contact, hoping to smooth her edges and corners, but now it seems that there is little effect, she is still the same gentle but firm and unyielding old look.

But is it really good if she becomes smooth and sophisticated?Shu Li asked herself, but couldn't answer.She just got the audition script early this morning and handed it over to Qiao Yan. She read most of the script in the morning, and all kinds of notes on it were densely packed, and the reasons for some settings in the script were also marked on it, so you can know it at a glance I worked hard.

The audition was early in the morning the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow I must sleep at home to adjust my state. Indeed, the only time left to read the script is tonight.Shu Li wanted her to rest for a while, looking at the needle on the back of her hand and the pen in the other hand but felt unable to speak.

It is true that there are many people who work hard in this world, and some people think that hard work is the last thing worth mentioning.

But in the face of such a hard-working person, who has the right to speak ill, obstruct or attack?

She must be red, she must be red.

Shu Li sat next to Qiao Yan, slowed down the drip speed, and took out the documents in her bag to read.

The future will eventually come, and now, let her witness how much this young girl has paid for the best result in this cold winter night in the northern country.

It was already daylight when they came out of the hospital.Luo Ming was taken back to the company by Da Liu, and it is said that he vomited in the car.Shu Li wanted to go to the company to have a look. Qiao Yan said goodbye to her and went back to her home. Qiao Xue and her classmates went shopping, but left breakfast for Qiao Yan.Qiao Yan took two simple bites, took a hot bath, and was about to go to bed to have a good rest and sleep when the phone rang suddenly.

"Sister Li?" Qiao Yan answered the phone and greeted suspiciously.Shu Li's voice was tense, and through the phone, she could feel the coldness that seemed to freeze people into ice.

"Qiao Yan, you don't have to go to the audition tomorrow morning."

"The heroine of Cao Rui's new play has already been decided on Feng Chen's Yao Manxin."
