Chapter 73 Sister Meng: You Can't Get Rid of Me

The next day.

Jiang Yuan went all out and filmed until 1 p.m., finishing the afternoon's scenes ahead of schedule.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the speed at which you can finish a scene in one take is amazing. The crew planned a whole day's worth of filming, and you finished it in half a day," Zhao Liying exclaimed.

"That's all thanks to you. If you had too many takes, I wouldn't have been able to speed things up," Jiang Yuan replied.

Most of his scenes are with Zhao Liying.

"That's right, I'm a good actress too, okay?" Zhao Liying said proudly.

Jiang Yuan nodded, then turned to Tian Xiwei: "Have you packed your things?"

"It's all packed up," Tian Xiwei replied.

"Let's go then, I'll change my clothes and take you to the airport."

Jiang Yuan waved the sleeves of her ancient costume.

"Actually, I could have just taken a taxi there myself. It's so much trouble for you to change clothes back and forth."

Tian Xi whispered, "I always come alone by train, so don't worry."

Tian Xiwei knew that Jiang Yuan finished filming her scenes ahead of schedule because she wanted to send her away.

"I know you came alone, but if you leave alone too, I'm afraid you'll cry."

Jiang Yuan waved her hand, "Besides, we finished filming ahead of schedule. We only have night scenes tonight, and I don't want to keep wearing this outfit."

He did not intend to let Tian Xiwei leave alone.

On such a hot day, Tian Xiwei had a lot of things, and even if she could carry them all by herself, it wouldn't be convenient.

Not to mention that he also promised Li Yitong to take Tian Xiwei there.

"Okay, then I'll ask Jiang Yuan to take me."

Tian Xi felt a warmth in her heart and said softly.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the girl in surprise, and surprisingly did not refute his claim that she was crying.

Jingjing said apologetically, "It's all my fault for not having a driver's license, otherwise I could have driven Xiaotian there."

"Then when Xiao Yu comes back, you can take the exam if you have time. I'll give you a break," Jiang Yuan said.

Xiao Yu escorted Chao Yue back home, but Chao Yue wanted to stay and be entertained for a few days.

Xiao Yu was initially unwilling, but Jiang Yuan persuaded her by saying that Chao Yue was in a bad mood and might need someone to keep her company.

It's good to give Xiao Yu a few days off, otherwise Xiao Yu might want to drive back by himself in the middle of the night after delivering the package.

Driving while fatigued is not a good idea.

"Sigh, I still have a chance, otherwise I would have liked to give you candy too."

Zhao Liying sighed and teased Tian Xiwei, "Tangbao is leaving, call her mother one more time."

"Sister Liying, I've finished filming."

Tian Xi glanced at Jiang Yuan, seemingly unwilling.

She used to call her that, but ever since Jiang Yuan asked her to use the name from the play after she called Zhao Liying that name once, she refused.

In the drama, Tang Bao was born with Dongfang Huoqing and Hua Qiangu as witnesses.

Upon opening his eyes and seeing the two of them, he called out "Mother" and "Father" —

"It's all your fault, Dongfang."

Zhao Liying complained to Jiang Yuan, "It's made Tang Bao stop calling me."

"What does this have to do with me? Don't always try to take advantage of Xiaotian."

Jiang Yuan casually replied, "I'm going to change my clothes."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei smiled slightly.

That's right, it's us.

Jiang Yuan was about to change his clothes. He didn't need to remove his makeup, and he had gotten used to the wig after a few months, so he could take care of it himself quickly.

Before heading to the clothing department's dressing room, Jiang Yuan bumped into Meng Ziyi.

"Jiang Yuan, are you not planning to call me?"

Mencius said angrily.

"Don't you still have a chance?" Jiang Yuan looked at her strangely.

Speaking of which, Sister Meng, the female lead's antagonist, is quite resilient.

Whether in the play or in the film crew's shooting schedule, it's always the last thing to be filmed.

He was born later than the second male lead.

Lin Yufen said that the two finished filming around the same time.

But for these directors who are used to shooting schedules that last for months or even a year or two.

This difference is probably only one or two weeks.

Jiang Yuan will be reduced to ashes in just two days for taking a blow for Hua Qiangu.

Sister Meng may need to film for a while longer.

"There's no rush, anyway, I'm always taking my time with my acting."

Meng Ziyi laughed and said, "I asked the director for leave, and Brother Hua said that we would shoot the male and female leads first in the afternoon, so I had time to take Xiao Tian to school."

"Xiaotian's flight is at 5 o'clock, will you have time to remove your makeup?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Of course I have time, I can get it done in a few minutes."

Mencius stood with his hands behind his back, looking profound and unfathomable.

Jiang Yuan was taken aback. Like other actresses, Sister Meng used to spend one or two hours removing her makeup.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was puzzled, Mencius chuckled and said, "Because I never intended to remove my makeup or change my clothes."

Meng Ziyi walked up to Jiang Yuan and turned around, gracefully pinching the hem of her skirt like a princess.

"I'll wear this when I send Xiaotian off, so that Xiaotian can leave in style at the airport."

Meng Ziyi also encouraged Jiang Yuan, "Why don't you not change your clothes, Jiang Yuan? Let's give Xiao Tian a proper send-off ceremony. The second-generation heiress of Penglai Immortal and the Pavilion Master of Yixiu Pavilion will see Xiao Tian off together. Wouldn't that be incredibly classy?"

"It's a pity that Sister Xue is gone. Otherwise, she would be one of the Five Immortals, with an even higher status," Meng Ziyi sighed regretfully.

She thought of Chaoyue again and said angrily, "Oh right, there's also that idiot Chaoyue. She just left without saying goodbye. I've lived with her for so long. Next time I catch her, I'll pinch her cheeks hard."

"Chaoyue didn't want anyone to see her off in the first place."

Jiang Yuan said it casually.

"These two girls are just afraid of parting, but it's nothing really."

"Yes, Sister Meng, you're quite carefree. That's more like it."

Jiang Yuan agreed with Mencius's opinion, which is actually nothing to worry about.

Meng Ziyi pulled Jiang Yuan away, saying, "Then listen to me, let's not change clothes. We can let Jingjing take a picture, and let Xiaotian leave in a big way. Let's see if anyone dares to bully her at school again."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan understood Mencius's plan.

"But they don't know either," Jiang Yuan said.

Meng Ziyi chuckled: "I'm well prepared. I'll register several accounts and promote it on their school's online forum and QQ groups."

Is it really that primitive and simple? Jiang Yuan chuckled to herself.

"I'll use your connections again, Jiang Yuan. You're a journalist and a lawyer, so I'll scare those high school students and show them that bullying Xiao Tian will get them exposed and punished."

Meng Ziyi, looking like he had a well-thought-out plan, looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Jiang Yuan, what do you think? This is a plan that Xue-jie and I discussed."

"Isn't there a more decent way to do it?" Jiang Yuan chuckled.

"there is none left."

Mencius said with distress, "I also want to maintain a respectable appearance, but the broadcast time of 'The Journey of Flower' is too late; I'll have to wait until next year."

"What if Xiaotian stops bullying again after a year? By the time it airs, it'll be too late."

Jiang Yuan realized that Xiao Tian hadn't told Sister Meng and the others that she had become somewhat famous at school, and that people had created a forum and group to support her.

Thinking about it carefully, he didn't know at first.

I only found out by chance when I saw Xiaotian browsing his own Baidu Tieba forum.

"Sister Meng, no need, no one will bully me anymore."

Tian Xiwei's voice came through.

The girl listened to their conversation from around the corner and was moved to tears.

I hadn't told Sister Meng and the others about my changes before.

Actually, Tian Xiwei felt that talking about this would be like showing off or presumptuousness, which is why she was always embarrassed to say it.

After all, Sister Meng and the others had more screen time and received more attention than her.

Isn't it just like a fish out of water for a fish to say something like that, as the fourth female in the family?

If Jiang Yuan knew what Tian Xiwei was thinking, she might tell her that more screen time isn't necessarily better.

Although Tian Xiwei's character, Tang Bao, was initially a special effects insect, her screen time after transforming into human form was not more than that of the others, and was even less.

But it's quite endearing.

It garnered considerable attention after its broadcast.

A lot of kids bought Tangbao dolls.

Not to mention, Tian Xiwei herself has a sweet and cute appearance, and with Jiang Yuan's makeup suggestions to the makeup and styling team, she looks even better.

It will definitely be several times better than the original broadcast.

"During the months I've been filming, my school and teachers have mentioned me to everyone—"

Tian Xiwei explained to Meng Ziyi how much her school and teachers valued her, and that she would never allow anyone to bully her in the future.

"And during the interview at the last fan meeting in Guangxi, Xiaotian was recognized by her classmates. She has a lot of fans at school now, and everyone calls her the school beauty of Tongliang."

Jiang Yuan teased Tian Xiwei.

"Hey, Jiang Yuan, you're not allowed to say that!" Tian Xiwei tried to cover Jiang Yuan's mouth.

Meng Ziyi understood and nodded, saying, "Alright then, I won't use an alt account."

Jiang Yuan grabbed Tian Xiwei's hand, pinched the girl's cheek with her other hand, and said to Meng Ziyi, "Sister Meng, is it possible that if you really want to carry out your plan, you don't need to create your own alternate account? You can just pay someone to hire an online army."

Yiwu Airport is the closest airport to Hengdian.

Jiang Yuan drove the van provided by the film crew and arrived in less than an hour.

Then I took Tian Xiwei and the others to the airport for a meal and chatted for a while.

They then escorted Tian Xiwei to check in her luggage and get her ticket checked.

"Go ahead." Jiang Yuan handed Tian Xiwei her plane ticket.

Tian Xi pursed her lips and opened her arms to Jiang Yuan.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan bent down and gave the girl a hug.

"Jiang Yuan, you promised you'd come visit me," Tian Xi whispered in Jiang Yuan's ear.

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded.

After Tian Xi relaxed her grip on Jiang Yuan, she gave Meng Ziyi a generous hug.

"Sister Meng, Jingjing, next time you come to Tongliang, I'll be your guide."

After saying that, Tian Xiwei took the plane ticket and went to the internal ticket gate.

While in line, they gestured that they could leave.

However, her big eyes glistened with tears under the airport lights, revealing her reluctance to leave.

Jiang Yuan immediately felt that Chao Yue was right; seeing them off would still be sad for the young girls.

"See you next time, Xiaotian," Jiang Yuan said loudly, waving her hand.

Jiang Yuan, dressed in ancient costume, was as graceful as a painting, which naturally attracted the attention of passers-by.

As the shouts drew more attention to him, people marveled at his striking good looks and ethereal, otherworldly demeanor.

Jiang Yuan didn't care.

Although Sister Meng gave up the idea of ​​taking photos and creating a secondary account for promotion.

But if she wants to send Xiaotian off, Sister Meng won't have time to remove her makeup and change her clothes.

She felt embarrassed to do this alone, so Jiang Yuan simply accompanied her.

"Goodbye, Xiaotian," Mengzi Yihe said quietly.

Tian Xiwei didn't feel embarrassed at all, even though so many people were watching her.

He waved to Jiang Yuan and the others, saying, "Goodbye, Jiang Yuan, Sister Meng, Jingjing."

Finally, the girl disappeared through the ticket gate.

on the way back.

Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that the passenger in the front seat had become Meng Ziyi.

Li Yitong used to really like sitting in this spot.

Behind them, Xiaotian, Chaoyue, and Sister Meng chattered away, discussing all sorts of things.

Now, apart from him and Sister Meng, everyone seems to have dispersed.

Moreover, Chaoyue was the first one to be by his side at the beginning, and also the first one to leave.

Little Pudding Ice Cream Sister Li Yitong also followed the order, coming second and leaving second.

Xiao Tian and Sister Meng broke this order.

Oda arrived last and left third.

Sister Meng was the third to arrive, but unsurprisingly, she was probably there to see him off.

"Sigh, now it's just the two of us and Jingjing left."

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was not in a good mood, Meng Ziyi pretended to cry, "I'll be sleeping alone tonight, boohoo."

"belch."

Sister Meng suddenly let out a milky burp amidst her sweet, soft voice.

"Haha." Jiang Yuan burst out laughing.

Jingjing covered her mouth and chuckled.

The slightly melancholic atmosphere in the car dissipated.

"Don't laugh, Jiang Yuan."

Mencius covered his face, embarrassed, and said, "People have pride too!"

Beneath Meng Jie's jade-like hand covering her face, the corners of her mouth were actually slightly upturned.

"Sister Meng, how can you be so funny?" Jiang Yuan laughed.

In fact, he felt that Mencius was still influenced by him.

He was all smiles at first, but when he got on the bus, he became sullen.

Jiang Yuan realized it was her fault and immediately corrected herself, striking up a conversation with Meng Ziyi: "Sister Meng, what are you planning to do after filming 'The Journey of Flower'?"

Meng Ziyi lowered his hand from his face and took a deep breath: "I didn't know it was a mistake, I hadn't planned it."

"I heard from Mo Tong that Xu Yiruo had also discussed signing a contract with you?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Yes, that's right."

Mencius nodded, "But I'm still considering it."

"Jiang Yuan, what do you think I should do?" Meng Ziyi looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly.

Jiang Yuan didn't actually know if Xu Yiruo had that many resources.

Although Xu Yiruo will be known for her film and television integration capabilities in the future as an agent.

But he wasn't sure if Xu Yiruo had the ability to take care of both Motong and Sister Meng at the same time.

Xu Yiruo's future film and television integration capabilities need no further explanation.

He even signed a film and television contract with Zhao Lusi later.

Help Zhao Lusi land the role in "The Romance of Tiger and Rose," which made her a breakout star.

The management of Zhang Linhe's full-time agency contract is also quite impressive.

Zhang Linhe was made a top star in the Chinese entertainment industry, with unparalleled, god-like looks.

But that was after I became famous.

Before this, for most of the time, Xu Yiruo only had one mainstay under her command, Li Yitong.

Li Yitong reciprocated the favor of her former agent, who had initially valued her, by leaving with Xu Yiruo to join her new company, Star Era.

Even though it was because she passed the audition for "Demon Girl" that Xu Yiruo took a liking to her and signed her.

Instead of Xu Yiruo signing her and getting her a role in "Demon Girl" to debut.

Li Yitong was the best employee for most of the time at the beginning, working hard to get roles and generate revenue for Xu Yiruo's new company.

This helped Xu Yiruo, who was starting her business, get through the most difficult initial period.

The company acquired and merged with Transmedia Entertainment, bringing Star Era into the fold.

Only by acquiring more connections and resources can Zhang Linhe operate effectively.

It's hard to say whether Xu Yiruo or Li Yitong made the other successful.

In Jiang Yuan's view, it was a mutually beneficial relationship.

As you can see, Xu Yiruo only took Zhao Lusi's film and television contract for a short period of time, and even helped her get a role in "The Romance of Tiger and Rose," which allowed Zhao Lusi to make her debut.

But after Zhao Lusi became famous, she immediately suffered a series of depressive episodes.

They said that Xu Yiruo's pressure and harsh treatment caused her to become depressed.

He punched Xu Yiruo until she was completely disoriented.

After becoming famous, Li Yitong did not do that. Instead, she reciprocated by following Xu Yiruo in breach of contract and leaving Feibao Media.

How can it not be considered mutually beneficial?

The question to consider is whether Xu Yiruo can help Sister Meng get roles if she joins the company.

Well, in the few years since Sister Meng debuted, she hasn't had many acting opportunities.

It seems there's no need to worry about Xu Yiruo being able to make things worse for Sister Meng —

Most importantly, he will have the opportunity to bring Meng Jie and Mo Tong along in the future, and Hua Qiangu will also make them famous.

What Xu Yiruo really wanted to do was simply to get more scripts submitted to her after Sister Meng and Mo Tong became famous.

Using her exceptional ability to integrate film and television resources, she selected good scripts for them.

More importantly, because of her concern for Jiang Yuan, Xu Yiruo will give Meng Jie and Mo Tong autonomy and will also protect the two of them.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan said, "If you want to sign with a company and pursue a career in film and television, you can consider it. Xu Yiruo's ability to integrate film and television is quite strong."

"If I can build up some fame outside, and get acting roles and commercial endorsements to generate revenue for you, can I return to your team then?" Meng Ziyi suddenly asked.

Jiang Yuan was surprised. Had Mo Tong told Sister Meng this?

But he wasn't sure either, since he had told Motong that if she worked hard in the future and wanted to become an artist boss, she could come back and work with him.

"You can do it even without generating revenue," Jiang Yuan said.

Mencius was pleased to hear this and smiled sweetly: "That won't do, I need to be more famous."

"Only then can you make Jiang Yuan, you lazy donkey, feel guilty and strive to improve yourself."

She said, "So that you'll never be able to shake me off again."
