Top Chinese entertainment stars start with lucky koi fish

"If there's anything bothering you, you can talk to us about it."

Jiang Yuan looked at the girl in front of her and said, "Haven't we become good friends? We even have a group chat."

"Exactly, tell your sister!"

Li Yitong said, "Don't forget we're from the low mountains..."

"Stinky water..." Mencius continued.

"I've found a kindred spirit!" Yang Chaoyue concluded.

"Of course we are good friends."

Tian Xiwei bit the soft flesh between her lips, letting go of her stubbornness.

She told Jiang Yuan and the others about what she had experienced before May Day, as well as the rumors and slanders spread against her by some people on QQ and forums.

"It's awful, but it's not your fault, Oda. Some people are just that bad. Don't doubt yourself."

Li Yitong was indignant. She and Xiaotian were the closest of friends. They hadn't known each other for long, but they were surprisingly compatible.

Meng Ziyi patted Tian Xiwei on the shoulder: "Little Tian, ​​this means you're popular, that's why they're jealous. You just need to stay popular and make them furious!"

"I think you're very brave."

Yang Chaoyue, who was the same age as Tian Xiwei, looked at her with admiration and said, "If it were me, I probably wouldn't dare to speak and would just be bullied by them in a cowardly manner."

Dropping out of school and working in the factory didn't change my cowardly ways. If it weren't for my brother, I feel like I would cry every single night.

Jiang Yuan looked at Chao Yue with pity. Chao Yue had indeed been quite timid and cautious before.

Due to family factors, when she had conflicts with others, she was always the one who chose to back down, even when it wasn't her fault.

Many parents in ordinary families teach their children to be tolerant.

Not to mention, Chaoyue's family is far from being considered an ordinary family.

She was raised by a single-parent family; her parents were divorced, and her only support was her father, an honest and hardworking farmer who struggled to make ends meet for a long time. She dropped out of school before finishing junior high.

Although she often made fun of her poor grades in front of others, she had also secretly told Jiang Yuan about it before.

Her grades weren't actually at the bottom; they were just below average, and she could have continued her studies if she wanted to.

Children from ordinary families who dare to resist violence and bullying like Tian Xiwei are ultimately a minority.

Most people, like Chaoyue, remain silent, processing their injustices and licking their wounds alone at night.

Ultimately, this experience became a scar in my youth, invisible, but occasionally palpable.

In those nights when I grew up feeling negative, sad, and doubting myself.

It followed me like a shadow, and began to ache faintly.

It forces you to be silent, forces you to be timid, forces you to escape, forces you to sink.

Jiang Yuan paid close attention to Chao Yue's issues, and wouldn't take on too much responsibility, letting her handle things herself.

They even turned around and asked her for help, only intervening when she couldn't solve the problem herself.

It was all to help her regain her confidence and embrace courage.

Dare to boldly refuse, and even enjoy conflict.

"I'm not actually that brave."

Thinking of Yang Chaoyue's family, Tian Xiwei couldn't help but grab her hand. "I keep telling myself not to be afraid, because the more afraid I am, the more they will go too far."

Tian Xiwei said shyly, "Actually, I feel like I'm just a paper tiger. I'm not afraid of anyone on the surface."

But sometimes I feel wronged when I go back, and I might even secretly cry in embarrassment next time.

Then I had to compose myself and pretend to be calm, so that no one would see my weakness.

"Then she'll definitely cry so much she'll have snot bubbles running down her nose."

Jiang Yuan intended to ease the atmosphere, as Tian Xiwei's conflict had not yet escalated to the point of physical resistance.

But in this lifetime, I certainly won't end up getting hit by spiked shoes.

"I won't!"

Tian Xi pouted and glared at Jiang Yuan.

"Hmph, we're not afraid of them. We'll come and help you when the time comes."

Yang Chaoyue looked at Jiang Yuan, and seeing that he had no objection, she spoke with full confidence.

This was somewhat like a fox borrowing the tiger's power, which made everyone laugh.

"Alright, Xiaotian, if there's anything you can handle in the future, you can discuss it with us. I'm six or seven years older than you, so I can help you solve it no matter what."

Li Yitong patted her chest. "Even if I can't solve it, there's always that jerk of a man, isn't there?"

"Right?" Li Yitong looked at Jiang Yuan.

In fact, Jiang Yuan didn't know why Mo Tong had so much confidence in him.

After all, in this guy's eyes, he's still just a factory worker.

More often than not, the girl probably didn't ask him because she was afraid he would overthink it.

In this respect, I can only say that she's not as good as Naza...

Naza: I'm so clever!

"certainly."

Jiang Yuan didn't say anything this time, "but I think that when Xiao Tian goes back next time, they won't dare to mess with her."

Seeing how much everyone cared about her warmed her heart, but she was stunned when she heard Jiang Yuan's words:

"Why?"

Jiang Yuan shook the jade pendant on her chest and said very naturally, "Because I gave the order."

"What if there isn't one?" Tian Xi looked at Jiang Yuan with her fair face.

"You can do whatever you want."

"Jiang Yuan, then you have to come to Chongqing to help me in person," Tian Xi added, tilting her head slightly. "I'll treat you to some of Tongliang's delicious food."

"Either is fine," Jiang Yuan said, "but at least you can call me brother."

Tian Xiwei pulled Yang Chaoyue to Li Yitong's side, so that Li Yitong wouldn't pat her head anymore.

Touching her again, I felt she was about to do something foolish again, diminishing her own momentum.

Meanwhile, Meng Ziyi was still counting on his fingers: "I am more than two years older than Xiaotian, but my sister's family also has some money. If there is a real fight, my sister will directly call dozens of people to help you keep order."

In Northeast China, there are plenty of tall, burly bad students, but no one dares to mess with you, Sister Meng.

"Does a two-year-old need to use their fingers? Sister Meng, I overestimated your intelligence."

Jiang Yuan wasn't surprised that Sister Meng came from a wealthy family.

Meng Jie's ability to have such a sudden realization is partly related to her privileged family background.

She grew up surrounded by love, so she didn't react at all to some subtly aggressive remarks.

Because she had no idea it was targeting her.

They're adorably silly.

"I'm very smart," Meng Ziyi said, patting Jiang Yuan's arm.

"I forgot about Sister Meng, you rich bastard."

Li Yitong said, "You're paying for dinner tonight."

"Give me the bag!"

Meng Ziyi readily agreed, "Xiao Tian and Chao Yue can order whatever they want to eat then."

"Looks like I won't have to pay tonight." Li Yitong glanced smugly at Jiang Yuan.

"It's like I don't know how to pay," Jiang Yuan couldn't help but say.

"I've never seen any of your money come out of your pocket," Li Yitong complained.

Jiang Yuanle said, "Then maybe we won't even have any money in our pockets tonight."

"So you want Gulnazar to pay again?"

Li Yitong was surprised, then praised, "As expected of that scoundrel, well done, he hasn't forgotten our revolutionary friendship. I'll search for nearby high-end restaurants right now, we have to rip her off this time."

Meng Jie was a little resistant to Gulnazar's suggestion: "I'll pay."

"Sister Meng, are you stupid? Isn't it good that an outsider is paying the bill?"

Li Yitong grabbed one of them with each arm, hooked her arms around Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei's shoulders, and walked out, saying, "Let's go, let's go to the assembly point."

Meng Ziyi walked up to Jiang Yuan and said, "Brother, I have some family wealth."

"Oh, I see. My apologies for not recognizing you. So our Sister Meng is a rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned woman." Jiang Yuan exclaimed.

"Actually, it's not that pretty."

Mencius was focused on beauty, and at this time he would still be humble and shy.

In this respect, Meng Jie is not as good as Nazha.

If it were Gulnazar, she would say: I'm naturally this pretty and beautiful, absolutely stunning!

She was aware of her beauty, but was frequently subjected to cyberbullying, so she ended up pretending to be beautiful without realizing it.

"It's very pretty." Jiang Yuan knew what the girl wanted to hear, but he felt that he was telling the truth.

"Brother, you haven't lost your sister." Meng Ziyi was overjoyed.

The items were left in the room, and the group went to the filming location.

"So many extras?"

Sitting in the audience stand, Li Yitong glanced at the dozens of audience members.

"If the match is already underway and there are no fans in the stands, isn't that an insult to the audience?"

Jiang Yuan leaned back in her chair, watching the extras dressed in jerseys below.

Although they are all extras, there are different levels of prominence; those extras will definitely have more screen time than the rest of the extras.

"Isn't that Brother Hu?" Yang Chaoyue pointed to Brother Hu, who was standing next to the director in the distance.

"Right?"

Mencius shielded his eyes from the sun and observed, and he also saw Chen Yao.

This drama was Chen Yao's debut work, and it's now hers too, though she's just an extra...

Does being an extra count as a debut? Sister Meng is struggling with this question.

Tian Xiwei looked around curiously, wanting to see everything, to see how the film crew operated, and what the actors were doing.

They were all beautiful girls, and when they got together, they were even more dazzling.

Add to that Jiang Yuan, who has gentle features and is tall and handsome.

He leans back in his chair with a relaxed air, giving the impression of a clear and sunny world.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were filming some unprecedented idol drama.

The other extras in the stands were dumbfounded.

Have extras become this involved in such a scandal?

Are these four women and one man destined to be extras?

Seriously? These guys all seem like they should be the main characters on the field.

Li Guoli, the nominal director of "Whirlwind Eleven," glanced at the stands and was dumbfounded.

Ask the people around you, "Where did those guys come from?"

"It seems to be a friend of Nazha's. I didn't expect her to be doing extra work." Lin Jianlong scratched his head, still confused.

"Nazha is that fierce?"

28-year-old Jiang Shuying glanced at the girls in the stands and sighed to Hu Ge beside her.

"Young people are really bold. They even find such pretty extras. Aren't they afraid of getting trampled on?"

At this moment, Hu Ge, who was dating Jiang Shuying, scratched his head and said, "Nazha probably has her own reasons."

"Oh, there's a handsome guy sitting here too." Jiang Shuying's eyes suddenly lit up as she recognized Jiang Yuan's face.

Upon hearing this, Brother Hu looked over and was also stunned, but then said, "Hey, I'm right here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuying quickly glanced at him a few more times, then turned back to comfort him, "Men who are too handsome are unreliable."

"I'm handsome too, okay?" Brother Hu retorted.

Meanwhile, after receiving approval from the casting assistant director, Li Guoli scratched his head and said:

"Never mind, it's just an extra. If Nazha doesn't mind, then it's fine."

Naza only made a cameo appearance in "Whirlwind Eleven," and Li Guoli, who was just visiting the set, didn't want to get involved.

"Who knows, that might be a point that attracts attention."

Lin Jianlong rubbed his chin. "When promoting the show, putting these people at the beginning might actually have a good promotional effect and attract viewers."

"The premise is that Nazha can keep it under control, otherwise the company won't be willing to do it."

Li Guoli has worked with Cai Yinong for many years and knows Cai Yinong's personality well.

Gulnazar is the next rising star being heavily promoted, and she is putting in all her effort to take over Liu Shishi's position after she left.

How could I possibly accept being outshone by someone, especially as an extra!

Even if Cai Yinong was willing, his partner wasn't! Tangren also had a stake in it.

"How's the filming of your 'The Imperial Doctress' going?" asked Xu Kanghui, another co-director.

"Filming is halfway done, and we should be able to wrap it up around September."

Li Guoli was also a little worried because the female lead in the drama he was filming, "The Imperial Doctress," was Liu Shishi, the top actress from Tangren Media.

According to Cai Yinong, Liu Shishi is no longer satisfied with just publicly announcing their relationship.

She also plans to finish filming and get married to Nicky Wu in January next year, just before the Lunar New Year.

This speed indicates that this top female star of Tangren Media will inevitably choose to leave; it's just that her contract hasn't expired yet.

Keep in mind that she's only 27 years old, the prime of her life.

Going to get a marriage certificate? And with someone 17 years older than you?

Li Guoli, who only takes care of filming at the company, is somewhat worried about Cai Yinong.

"Well, I think Nazha has a lot of potential, so there shouldn't be any problem," said Xu Kanghui, who was closer to Li Guoli.

Lin Jianlong and Xu Kanghui are not affiliated with Tangren Media; they are simply Hong Kong directors who have paid money to work with Tangren Media.

Xu Kanghui is known for her delicate and romantic filming style, while Lin Jianlong is skilled in both period dramas and modern dramas.

"Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" was directed by Xu Kanghui, and there's also Lu Han's "Back to 20".

Lin Jianlong's future representative work is "Legend of Yunxi".

"Your decision doesn't count. What's important is that you take good pictures for me later."

Li Guoli said, "If the footage doesn't work, then cut out the scenes of those extras. Nazha is just making a cameo appearance; we can't let her fall in this drama and be laughed at by our rivals."

As Li Guoli was speaking, gasps of surprise rose and fell from the crowd of extras.

Then Gulnazar strode confidently and proudly towards us, her perfectly matched makeup making her face look stunningly beautiful.

If Gulnazar in the past was limited by her makeup and exploration of new styles, which sometimes led to fashion mishaps and made her look a bit tacky.

Today, Gulnazar has no such problem at all; her makeup seems tailor-made for her.

Not only did she not hold anyone back, she actually brought out all her strengths.

She was already very beautiful, with a really good foundation, and now she's even more stunningly beautiful.

She's truly a star among stars.

It opened the eyes of extras who originally thought they could do it too.

Li Guoli slapped his thigh: "Jianlong, I think you're right. Let's put this scene at the beginning of the credits! Let everyone see how high the quality of the beauties in our show is!"

In his opinion, Li Yitong and her three friends were already very beautiful; in other production teams, they might have outshone the female lead.

Now that Gulnazar has appeared, the hierarchy has instantly become clear.

Li Yitong and the others may be very beautiful, but sorry, they met Gulnazar, whose makeup was perfectly matched and who was in her best form.

If this scene were used for promotion or as the opening sequence, how many viewers would be lured in?

If she continues to be this beautiful, won't Tangren's next leading lady still be able to carry the torch?

Xu Kanghui said, "Nazha plays a big star in this drama. Her appearance is simply amazing. She's a star among stars!"

Where did you find such a genius makeup artist? Didn't all of Tangren's previous makeup artists leave?

"How would I know? It's probably something Nazha arranged privately."

Li Guoli shook his head, "Besides, the previous batch only knew how to do period costume makeup and styling; they weren't very good at modern dramas."

"Never mind, let's start filming! I can't wait any longer."

Xu Kanghui's style is delicate and romantic; she feels she must record such beautiful things when she sees them.

Not to mention, Nazha's friends in the stands were also absolutely gorgeous.

The key point is that she's so selfless, deliberately trying to highlight Nazha.

Is this what great friendship is?!

They really... I'm crying my eyes out!

And in the stands.

Director Xu is discussing a group of people who are great and selfless in his heart.

"Let's run."

Mencius proposed.
