This director is so innocent.

Chapter 168 Crazy Criticism of Liu Yifei

The moonlight was like water, and the stars twinkled.

The summer breeze brushed past Su Jin's face, making his complexion much better.

Even with his high alcohol tolerance, he couldn't withstand being toasted by five or six people.

Yang Qing, the child, was so overfed that he could no longer walk and sat on the curb, vomiting loudly.

Those leaders, big and small, naturally didn't escape unscathed either. They were all sticking out their tongues, saying they wanted to have a second half so he could experience the unique characteristics of Ningcheng.

With everyone already in this state, what's the point of experiencing anything?

Since they couldn't take the plane, Xiaoying drove them back to the hotel.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard my phone ringing.

When I took it out, I found it was a call from Huang Jiaqiang, presumably about the casting for "The Maze Runner".

"Hey, Lao Huang."

"Boss, the casting results for 'The Maze Runner' are in."

"Who did you choose?"

"Three minor supporting roles have been cast: Liu Yifei, Jiang Yiyan, and Yang Mi."

"What about Jing Tian?"

"Jing Tian's acting is terrible. All she can do is stare and frown; she can't even express the most basic emotions. However, her agent contacted me privately and said she could pay more."

"What did Marty Bowen of Fox say?"

"She doesn't think much of Jing Tian, ​​but I hinted to him that if he's sincere, he might agree."

"Have Jing Tian's agent contribute another $500,000, give Marty Bowen $100,000, and you and George each receive $100,000."

Huang Jiaqiang's face lit up with joy, and he grinned, "Thank you, boss."

"Who's Thomas's deputy? Who's been chosen?"

"Luo Jin, he performed the best."

"Then give it to him!" Su Jin was about to hang up the phone when she suddenly asked, "How's Liu Yifei doing?"

Huang Jiaqiang was taken aback, then honestly replied, "From all perspectives, she is actually the most suitable."

"Alright! Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

"That's all, goodnight boss."

"Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Su Jin sent a text message to Ya Hua Zi, which read: "You've been rejected."

After sending the message, I threw my phone aside, took off my clothes, and went to take a shower.

While I was taking a shower, my phone kept ringing. I guessed it was Yahua calling, but I didn't answer and just let it keep ringing.

Su Jin dried her wet hair as she came out of the bathroom, and heard her phone ring again. She thought it was Ya Huazi calling again.

I picked up my phone and saw it was Yang Mi.

"Feed".

"Su Jin, have the audition results come out yet?"

"It's out, you didn't get elected."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi frowned. Although she went there with the intention of just participating, she was still somewhat disappointed when she heard the result.

"So, who did you choose?"

"Company secret, no comment."

"What company secret?" Yang Mi sneered and asked, "Is it Liu Yifei?"

"Stop guessing. We'll send out an announcement in a couple of days, then you'll know." Before she could reply, Su Jin changed the subject, saying, "Filming for 'Those Years' starts next week. Come over and have a cameo role if you're free."

"I'm busy," Yang Mi said petulantly.

Su Jin chuckled and threatened directly, "I don't have time. Don't even think about getting any resources from me in the future."

Yang Mi was furious and yelled, "Su Jin, get out of here! If you don't want to give it to me, then don't! I'll just work hard on my own!"

"You said it yourself, so don't regret it later."

"hehe----"

"Heh my ass, the phone rang, that's all I said, and I hung up."

Su Jin hung up the phone and answered Architect Jiang's call. The first thing she asked was about the audition results.

The answer was naturally that they were not selected. Then Architect Jiang asked who was selected, and the answer was still the same: company secret.

Architect Jiang didn't press the matter further and instead asked about something else: "Su Jin, when are you going to give me the song you promised to write?"

"A song? What song?"

"You haven't forgotten, have you!"

Su Jin frowned, thought for a while, and finally remembered a song. She laughed and said, "No, the song is already written. I'll give it to you when I get back."

"Don't try to fool me," Architect Jiang said suspiciously.

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you when I get back. Bye." After saying that, Su Jin hung up the phone and began to think about the song for Architect Jiang.

Zhang Huimei's "My Dearest" published in 2011 is good; I can give it to her.

Yang Mi's "The Power of Love" was very popular that year, but the song only became popular because Yang Mi sang it.

The theme song of "Tiny Times," "Time Boils the Rain," sung by Yu Kewei, is a slow, sentimental ballad that suits her quite well.

The last song was "Fleet of Time," the theme song from the movie "So Young," sung by Faye Wong.

Architect Jiang happens to be an artistic young man, so he should be a good fit.

With three songs plus "Never Say Goodbye" that I wrote for her before, releasing an EP shouldn't be a problem.

It took me half an hour to finish these three songs, and I also wrote the theme song of the same name for "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

"Ring ring ring————"

The phone rang again; this time it was Yahuazi calling.

He pressed the answer button, but before he could speak, he heard Ya Huazi say, "Su Jin, who did you choose?"

"It's a company secret. We'll send out a notification in a couple of days, and you'll find out then."

There hasn't been a reply from Jing Tian yet. If they don't agree, the role will remain with Ya Hua Zi.

As for sending a text message to Yahuazi saying she passed, can't I just joke about it?

Liu Yifei remained silent for a while, then asked, "Is there something more to this than meets the eye?"

Sister Liu, how can you be so naive!

There are definitely behind-the-scenes dealings in such large-scale casting processes. Do you really think it's fair and just?

"No, it was a fair and impartial audition." Su Jin didn't want to say anything more to her and simply said, "Okay, I'm hanging up now. Goodnight."

"etc----"

Waiting for what?!

Su Jin hung up the phone immediately, and then his phone rang again. It was Ya Hua Zi calling again, but this time he didn't even want to answer and hung up again.

Ya Huazi was very persistent. After hanging up, he called again, hung up again, and called again.

After this happened repeatedly, Su Jin got annoyed and simply turned off the phone.

The next day, the sky was hazy.

Su Jin opened her sleepy eyes, picked up her phone and turned it on, only to find seven or eight missed calls from people with shaky teeth.

Why are you so persistent?

I put down my phone, went to wash up, and then took a flight back to Beijing.

As soon as I got back to the company, the receptionist told me that Ya Hua Zi was here and waiting for me in the conference room.

"You didn't say I wasn't here?"

"I told her, but Miss Liu ignored me and said she would come every day if you weren't there," the receptionist said weakly.

Her gossipy nature was stirring, and she began to speculate about the relationship between Su Jin and Liu Yifei.

When Liu Yifei came over just now, she wasn't all smiles; she had a cold face, and it was obvious she was there to settle scores with her boss.

After thinking it over, Su Jin finally decided to meet Ya Hua Zi to avoid bothering him again in the future.

So he said to the receptionist, "Bring her to my office."

"Okay, boss," the young woman at the front desk replied, then turned and left.

Su Jin returned to her office and had barely sat down when the receptionist led Ya Huazi in.

It's been a long time since I've seen her, but Ya Huazi is still as youthful and beautiful as ever.

Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and a pair of large sunglasses covered her beautiful eyes. She wore a short dress from Dior's summer collection, revealing her slender and fair legs.

However, her expression was anything but pleasant; it was cold, as if someone owed her eight million.

Su Jin waved her hand, signaling the receptionist to leave.

The receptionist turned and left, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

"What do you want from me?" Su Jin asked calmly.

Liu Yifei did not answer. She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pretty face, and walked towards Su Jin.

Su Jin watched Liu Yifei approach little by little, but her steps did not stop at all, and raised her hand and said, "Stop."

Liu Yifei didn't stop. She walked up to Su Jin and kissed him before he could react.

Su Jin's eyes widened, and a million curses ran through her mind.

He instinctively tried to push Liu Yifei away, but she held him tightly and kissed him passionately, though her technique was very clumsy.

Su Jin felt a surge of anger and decided to respond to Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei was unhappy and directly separated them, biting his lip until it bled.

Su Jin gasped in pain, reaching up to touch her bitten lip, where a trace of blood appeared before her eyes.

"Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

"I was born in the Year of the Rabbit, not the Year of the Dog," Liu Yifei said earnestly.

Su Jin was amused and annoyed by her words: "Speak! What exactly do you want?"

"Nothing much! I just came to see you," Liu Yifei replied casually.

"Now that you've seen the person, you can leave."

"Bye-bye." Liu Yifei smiled, her eyes crinkling, and waved to Su Jin. She put on her sunglasses and turned to leave.

As she reached the door, she turned around and chuckled, "Remember to get some alcohol wiped at the hospital, be careful of infection."

"roll."

After Liu Yifei left, Su Jin lit a large gold brick and pondered what Ya Huazi was up to.

She suddenly ran over, kissed him, and then ran away, acting like a complete lunatic.

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out Liu Yifei's intention. Could it be that she was taking revenge on him?

Meanwhile, after leaving Jianmu Media and arriving at the elevator, Liu Yifei patted her chest in relief.

Despite her composed and confident demeanor in front of Su Jin, she was actually terrified inside.

Thinking of Su Jin's bleeding lips, she chuckled softly and smiled.

She kissed Su Jin out of revenge; after all, that bastard hung up on her and had mocked her before.

This time, both old and new grudges can be settled at once.

As for the role, no need to ask.

She's come to terms with it: if I gain it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's my fate.

If you don't have it, you don't have it!

Anyway, she didn't really like the character's personality.

Over here, Su Jin made a phone call, summoned Architect Jiang, and then gave her the song.

Jiang's "Dwelling Narrowness" finished filming last week and is currently in post-production. The streaming platform has not yet been confirmed.

Jiang Yiyan's face lit up with joy after watching the song.

Su Jin's reputation as a musical prodigy is truly well-deserved; every single one of these three songs is excellent.

She especially loved "Fleet of Time".

"How did your lip get cut?"

"It's nothing," Su Jin changed the subject, "When do you plan to release these three songs?"

-

"By the end of the year!"

"Will Chengtian pay for its production?"

"Probably."

"Okay, talk to your company and tell them I want 20% of the copyright revenue. If they don't agree, I'll fund the production for you."

"OK." Jiang Yiyan, having finished her thoughts, turned to Su Jin and said, "Su Jin, I recently opened a charity sale shop on Taobao. Do you have anything you don't need?"

"A charity sale?"

"Yes, I was filming in a small mountain village in Guangdong Province last summer."

It was so poor there that no one went to school. The village primary school had closed down, so the children there had to walk for nearly two hours each day, traversing mountains and valleys, to go to school in the township.

Are you serious, or just putting on a show?

"It's about half and half! I sympathize with them, but I also want to promote myself."

"If you truly sympathize with them, don't use the guise of teaching in rural areas to promote yourself. If netizens discover the truth, you'll face backlash."

"Why? I'm genuinely trying to help them. I'm giving them money, buying them things, buying them books. What's wrong with promoting myself a little?"

"Because people's hearts are unpredictable, but your starting point is good, but please, please don't use your teaching experience to promote yourself."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiyan lowered her brows and remained silent.

Seeing this, Su Jin sighed softly.

From the perspective of teaching in rural areas, he greatly admires Jiang Yiyan.

What is charity in our eyes?

It could be a huge donation, with a celebrity spending lavishly to host a charity gala attended by various media outlets.

After raising the funds, they took a group photo, and the media used the most sensational headlines the next day to embellish this charity event.

Jiang Yiyan went to the mountainous area for eight consecutive years, staying for two weeks or one or two months at a time.

From the outside, it seems like Jiang Yiyan is just putting on a show, but for Jiang Yiyan herself, she genuinely enjoys the time she spends with those children.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone there for eight consecutive years; this isn't how you put on a show.

Don't you see how those internet celebrities put on a show? They give out small gifts, take a photo, and then take the gifts back.

That's just putting on a show.

Jiang Yiyan not only went there for eight consecutive years, but she also donated money and supplies to the school.

For example, repairing teaching buildings, canteens, and dormitories; establishing scholarships and grants; and buying clothes, shoes, and new schoolbags for children.

That school was changed because of Jiang Yiyan; many children were able to return to school because of her.

Children in remote areas no longer need to get up at four or five in the morning to travel over mountains and rivers to go to school, because they now have dormitories.

This isn't an attempt to whitewash her actions; Jiang Yiyan did indeed do it, but many people simply can't see it, or rather, they're pretending not to.

Many people say that Jiang Yiyan's presence disrupted the teaching rhythm and taught a lot of useless knowledge.

For example, music classes, craft classes, photography classes, and so on.

The most sarcastic comment was directed at the photography class, with Jiang Yiyan being described as having "why not eat meat porridge?"

Little did you know, you too are like the one who doesn't eat meat porridge.

Do children in mountainous areas know about photography? Do they know about DSLR cameras? They know nothing about photography, but isn't that broadening their horizons?

You might say, what's the use of broadening their horizons? They don't have the money to buy a DSLR camera, and they don't need one.

hehe----

This is a classic example of "Why not eat meat porridge?"

Why do I have to buy it?

Does learning how to build airplanes mean you'll have the money to build or buy airplanes?

For children in mountainous areas, although they cannot afford DSLR cameras and have no need for photography.

But at least they learned something; they know what an SLR camera looks like and what photography is all about, and that's enough.

Let's talk about Jiang Yiyan's experience teaching in a rural area.

Li Ao once gave an example, saying that a person gave a beggar 100 yuan on the street. What was his motivation?

The first possibility is that he has compassion and feels sorry for the person.

The second possibility is that he is a Buddhist and believes in doing good deeds every day to receive good fortune.

In the third scenario, he was with his girlfriend at the time and wanted to show her that he was both rich and kind.

In the fourth scenario, he dislikes beggars and doesn't like being bothered by them. He is also quite wealthy, so he takes out 100 yuan to send the beggar away.

Li Ao's point is that regardless of the person's motives, once the hundred yuan ended up in the beggar's hands, the act of kindness had indeed occurred, and you shouldn't investigate the person's motives for doing good.

Whether Jiang Yiyan went to teach in a rural area was for the purpose of creating a public image or for other motives is a matter of great concern to people, but it is not particularly important.

For children in impoverished mountainous areas, any practical help, whether material or spiritual, is a good deed and should not be forcibly denied simply because a celebrity's motives are impure.

If the public morally scrutinizes celebrities' charitable acts and demands that they be completely free of personal interests, it will actually reduce the motivation for celebrities to do charity.

Because nobody wants to spend money to suffer, or to do something thankless, the one who ultimately suffers the loss is the person who should have received help.

Regarding the question of doing good deeds and expecting rewards, Confucius provided the answer two thousand years ago—Zilu receiving a cow,

Zigong redeemed the people.
