Chapter 181 Asking about ‘blindness’
The 'Queen' among the four people is none other than Lu Liping, who played Ma Xiuying in "The Horse Queen".
Liu Tianqi picked the time just right. Lu Liping was in a good mood recently. After entertaining the four of them, she enthusiastically persuaded them to stay for dinner before leaving.
This attitude encouraged both Liu Tianqi and Yang Xing.
In order to leave a good impression on Teacher Lu, Liu Tianqi took the initiative to take over the task of cooking, and ordered Fan Yan to help herself. She arranged for Yang Ying and Jiang Xin to go to a nearby market to buy cooked cold dishes.
Unfortunately, until Yang Ying and Jiang Xin returned, Liu Tianqi did not find a suitable opportunity to 'cry' to Lu Liping about her recent predicament.
Forget it, there’s no need to rush. This time, I’ll leave a good impression on Teacher Lu first, and then be alone again...
"Teacher Lu, can I take you a moment?"
Liu Tianqi was comforting herself when she suddenly heard Yang Xing's timid voice.
She subconsciously poked her head out of the kitchen and saw Yang Ying saying to Lu Liping with a worried look on his face: "There is something I want you to help me with in detail."
Liu Tianqi opened her mouth unconsciously.
What she said were all my words!
It wasn't until Lu Liping took Yang Ying to the study that Liu Tianqi recovered from the shock. She was anxious and itchy. She wished she could lie down at the door of the study and eavesdrop to see what Yang Xing had in mind - whether it was with her. Same, would you like to ask Teacher Lu to help introduce resources? !
But Jiang Xin was humming and arranging dishes in the living room, and there was Fan Yan in the kitchen. Even though Liu Tianqi was so anxious that she didn't dare to eavesdrop in front of the two of them.
At this time, Fan Yan quietly reminded: "You'd better watch the pot first, don't accidentally burn it."
There is indeed a risk of the food being fried in the pot being 'burned', but Liu Tianqi always felt that Fan Yan's words were a pun.
Frustrated, she picked up the shovel and stir-fried it a few times. The more she thought about it, the less it tasted. She couldn't help but said tit-for-tat: "At least I can fry it well, unlike some people who can only cook it half-cooked."
Fan Yan smiled slightly but did not answer.
Among the four, she is the most senior in terms of seniority. She started playing supporting roles in the crew in 1991. However, she has been stuck in the same place for more than ten years, and now she has lost her ambition.
After a while, when the vegetables were almost cooked, Liu Tianqi turned off the gas stove and range hood. The kitchen suddenly became quiet, and only Jiang Xin's humming could be heard faintly from outside: "Put down the burden." Please follow me and spread the word to build an era of happiness. Which era does happiness belong to, the 70s, 80s, 90s or Generation Y..."
Listening to this cheerful singing, Liu Tianqi couldn't feel happy at all.
Yang Ying, who seemed the most indecisive, asked Teacher Lu for help earlier than he did; while Jiang Xin, who seemed the most heartless, had the best career path.
Why?
Why? !
At the same time, in the study.
Yang Ling sat down opposite Lu Liping with some restraint, and asked the question in a cryptic manner: Should young actresses stick to the bottom line and be willing to be lonely, or should they be like many of their colleagues in the industry and climb up at all costs?
Although Lu Liping was confused about the major issues of right and wrong, she was very clear about the bullshit and destructive activities in the circle.
After listening to Yang Ling's half-hidden words, she immediately understood that someone must have 'hinted' something to her.
"No, no!"
Yang Ling shook his head and hands together and said in a panic: "I, I just, I just saw some people and things recently, so, I can't figure it out!"
The more you say this, the more true it becomes.
Lu Liping thought for a while and asked, "You were probably on the same crew as Jiang Xin before, right?"
"Yes, we filmed a story about seven fairies. We each played one of the fairies."
"Seven fairies?"
Lu Liping's heart skipped a beat. When Xu Kun came to her house two days ago, she had casually mentioned that Huo Siyan and Jiang Yiyan were filming "Seven Fairies of Joy", playing the first and second female roles respectively.
Could it be that...
"Yes, yes, it's called "Seven Fairies of Joy"!"
Yang Ling looked at Lu Liping with admiration, thinking that Teacher Lu was really well-connected, and even the TV series filmed in Jiangxi could not be hidden from her eyes. However, Lu Liping showed hesitation. She was ready to use a "great and upright" rhetoric. After all, if she really encouraged Yang Xing to do anything, Yang Xing would spread the words and say that he was the instigator. But that's big trouble.
But since this matter is related to someone Xu...
After hesitating again and again, Lu Liping sighed helplessly: "To be honest, I've been a little confused recently."
When Yang Ling heard this, his almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, and he thought to himself, Teacher Lu, that at your age and status, it is not appropriate for you to go... isn't it?
"What are you thinking!"
Lu Liping saw what she was thinking and scolded guiltily: "I'm just confused because of your youth - just a while ago, a coal boss from Shanxi came to me and said he wanted me to make another movie similar to "Big Brother". The play "Queen of Horses".
The investment and remuneration were doubled, but there was only one condition: the little girl he supported must be the heroine - the little girl was only 19 years old, graduated from a technical secondary school and had never studied acting at all! "
When Yang Xing heard these words, he was not surprised at all. Since the second half of last year, there have been more and more similar news. In addition to Hong Kong and Taiwanese investors, there seems to be another wealthy person in the film and television industry. Coal resources.
Capital from Hong Kong and Taiwan now mainly favors male actors, while coal bosses only focus on favoring mistresses.
Lu Liping sighed again: "When we were filming in the past, we all took money from the country. Even if there were any calculations in private, it was always fair on the surface, and the competition was not so fierce, but now...
The male actors are better, but the female actors are numerous and mixed. Except for those who are talented and lucky, I really don’t know how you young girls can grow up steadily. "
Yang Ling nodded subconsciously while listening, feeling bitter in his heart as he nodded.
This circle is really complicated. The threshold seems to be very high, but yet it seems to be so low that anyone can step in and step in.
If he hadn't witnessed the chaos in the industry with his own eyes, how could Yang Ying be so shaken and need guidance from senior experts?
but……
Yang Ling was still confused and asked hesitantly: "So, do you think it's not a big deal for young actresses to take shortcuts?"
"I didn't say that."
Lu Liping shook her head and said: "I just think that although this kind of behavior is wrong, it is pitiful - well, if you can stay on the right path, who would be willing to engage in those crooked ways?"
Yang Ling nodded again.
But Lu Liping added: "But you have to open your eyes and look carefully. Don't let anyone fool you with empty words, and end up losing both your wife and your army."
"That's not the case, he is right..."
Yang Ying realized halfway through that he had exposed himself, and hurriedly added, "I mean, I, I, I, I didn't intend to go astray, I, I, I..."
Seeing that she was having trouble speaking, Lu Liping waved her hands kindly and said, "We two are talking casually, can I still go out and talk nonsense?"
Yang Xing breathed a sigh of relief and left the study with great gratitude.
As a result, he met Liu Tianqi's scrutinizing gaze when he went out. Yang Xing subconsciously turned his head and looked away because he had a "ghost" in his heart.
This little hoof really wants to steal his chance!
Liu Tianqi was secretly resentful when she saw this. Seeing Yang Ling go to the living room, she gritted her teeth and was about to enter the study room to pour out her heart to Teacher Lu and express her determination.
Bang~
At this moment, the study door was suddenly closed tightly and then locked with a click.
But it turned out that after Lu Liping sent Yang Ying away, she couldn't wait to lock the door and called Xu Kun.
"Hey, Kun'er, where are you now?"
"There's no one around me."
I heard Xu Kun say on the other end of the phone: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"What's going on between you and Yang Ling?"
"What's going on? Also, who is Yang Ying?"
