Chapter 20 Face yourself

It really shouldn't be.

Who runs Erjing Film and Television?

Jiangbei!

Who is Jiangbei?

Li Youqing’s husband!

Can the company owned by the husband ban the wife?

This sounds true and is a bit unbelievable, but the current trend is like this, which is why Suixi has doubts and confusion in her heart.

However, due to the lack of the latest information, she did not express her doubts directly. Instead, she kept it in her mind and planned to understand the situation secretly while waiting for the development of the matter.

"How about I invite you to have a meal tomorrow? Ask me what's going on."

Unlike Sui Xi, Ji Yingzi did not know that Erjing Film and Television was an industry in Jiangbei, but because of the "Hot Pot Rescue" movie project, she still hoped to learn more about it.

"Invite Mr. Jiang too." Sui Xi thought for a while and said.

"Tsk, tsk." A playful smile appeared on Ji Yingzi's face after hearing this, and he joked: "You don't really have any ulterior secrets with Boss Jiang, do you? I can tell you, he is a married man. He would rather break up.

Ten temples, you should understand the principle of not breaking up a marriage!"

Sui Xi didn't have any emotional fluctuations upon hearing this. She drank all the tea in her hand, then stood up and walked out of the house: "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

...

Ji Yingzi's work efficiency was still very high. She sent a message to Li Youqing the next morning, but the agreement was changed to the evening because Li Youqing was handling the incident at Erjing Film and Television throughout the day.

At six o'clock in the evening.

In a Chinese restaurant, three golden flowers, Ji Yingzi, Sui Xi and Li Youqing, gathered together.

Jiangbei and Du Wang didn't come.

Because Ji Yingzi didn't invite me.

She is still her, and she still firmly implements the "fight against you" persona to the end, but she also has her own inner thoughts, which is to let Suixi and Jiangbei meet as little as possible to prevent the two from falling in love for a long time.

Sui Xi didn't seem to be surprised by this, and seemed to have guessed that Ji Yingzi would do this.

There are quite a lot of dishes, five in total, and they are all exquisite.

For Ji Yingzi, who has always been frugal and stingy, this is already considered very generous.

There is no way, who can let her ask for something.

"Young boy! Can you still act in my movie when you watch it?" At the dinner table, everyone clinked glasses, and Ji Yingzi couldn't hold back her inner anxiety and asked.

For her, she doesn't want to interfere too much with any conflicts between Li Youqing and Erjing Film and Television. She just hopes that it will not affect the filming of "Hot Pot Rescue".

Li Youqing was holding dishes with a lot of thoughts. He smiled reluctantly and replied: "I don't know yet. I went to the company to talk to the senior management today. The situation is not very ideal."

"Is it possible that Erjing Film and Television really wants to hide you?" Ji Yingzi asked with a frown.

"No way...you are so popular now." Sui Xi also said doubtfully.

Li Youqing is the most popular female artist in the past two years, and her commercial value ranks first among all domestic female artists. Artists like this are always offered up no matter which film and television company they go to, so how can they be hidden away?

?

"It didn't directly say that I was going to be hidden. It just restricted all my film and television, variety show and commercial cooperation this year. It should be fine next year." Li Youqing replied in an uncertain tone.

In fact, she didn't know for sure, but she could only think on the bright side. Who let Erjing Film and Television hold the contract? Whether she lives or dies, she can't control it.

"Then you are just being hidden! How could Erjing Film and Television treat you like this!" Ji Yingzi slapped her thigh and said angrily.

Sui Xi did not speak, but frowned and pondered alone.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Li Youqing replied with a guilty conscience.

In fact, it would be okay if it was just this year. After all, it was already November and there was only a short month and a half until next year. The problem was not big and she could still accept it.

And she didn't think that Erjing Film and Television was so short-sighted that they would hide her away for three years just because of one incident.

"Young boy, you are still too naive. Erjing Film and Television is doing this to hide you. Hurry up and think of a way to terminate the contract with Erjing Film and Television. If it doesn't work, file a lawsuit." Ji Yingzi did not agree with Li Youqing's optimistic ideas and directly planned for a rainy day.

Let her prepare for the worst.

It's not easy to terminate the contract unless you choose to pay liquidated damages directly.

But her liquidated damages are as high as 500 million, and she simply cannot afford such a high liquidated damages.

Not to mention a lawsuit. Erjing Film and Television holds her contract in their hands, and all the power of interpretation is in their hands. Naturally, there is no way to win this lawsuit.

"It's my fault, I transferred your contract to Erjing Film and Television." Sui Xi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, her tone full of apology.

Li Youqing quickly shook his head and comforted: "How can you blame Sister Sui Xi? It was the best result for me to join Erjing Film and Television. It was also of my own free will. I have nothing to do with you, Sister Sui Xi."

Sui Xi didn't think so, but there were some words she couldn't say, so she could only say: "No matter what, I am responsible. I will talk to the senior management of Erjing Film and Television tomorrow to see if we can solve this problem."

thing."

"Is it really okay?" Li Youqing's eyes lit up, showing a bit of joy.

She is now extremely eager for connections to help her get through this difficult time, but after entering the entertainment industry for so many years, she knows very few people, and there are only a few people she can talk to.

Xi definitely counts as one.

Now that Sui Xi is willing to help, she is naturally very happy.

"You should have come out to help a long time ago, and you have caused such misery to this young person." Ji Yingzi on the side said mercilessly.

Fortunately, Sui Xi has long been used to it and ignored Ji Yingzi at all. He said with worry in his eyes: "It's just that there may not be any good results. You still have to prepare for the worst."

"With your connections and background, you can't solve this matter?" Ji Yingzi asked with a look of surprise.

Others don't know it, but as a fellow disciple, she knows Sui Xi's strong background. It is precisely because of this that Sui Xi has been able to stand firm in the entertainment industry for more than ten years.

Now we are not sure whether it can be done even on the eve of the year. Doesn’t that mean that the background of the two Beijing film and television companies is even stronger?

"My dad has been laid off, what do you think?" Sui Xi didn't want to hide anything, she said a little helplessly.

"Tch! I only know that a dying camel is bigger than a horse, especially in China. This saying is most applicable." Ji Yingzi replied nonchalantly.

Li Youqing, who was sitting opposite her, looked confused because she didn't understand what the two people opposite her were talking about.

However, the atmosphere during the meal inadvertently relaxed during the conversation, and we began to talk and laugh gradually.

But behind the smile, everyone hides a bit of sadness.

Whether it is Li Youqing, Sui Xi, or Ji Yingzi who hopes that Li Youqing will play the leading role in "Hot Pot Rescue".

...

The next day.

In a coffee shop, Sui Xi and Jiang Nao agreed to meet here.

"Mr. Jiang, Sui Xi doesn't quite understand what you did this time." He shook the coffee gently with a spoon and asked Jiang Bei in confusion as he looked across from him.

Yes.

She came to find Jiangbei.

Because she knew that this was 100% done by Jiang Bei. Similarly, it was precisely because Jiang Bei did it that she couldn't understand it, so she wanted to find out in person.

Jiang Bei didn't speak in a hurry, but slowly stirred the coffee with a spoon in his hand, muttering to himself why the coffee tasted so bitter. It couldn't be compared with tea.

I don’t know why there are so many people drinking coffee.

As for the question about Suixi, Jiangbei had already known and guessed that such a day would come.

So when it came to the question of Suixi, I had to go through lines with Zhang Jiuliang countless times at home.

"Do you think you can become a big star?"

Well......

Sui Xi was stunned by this 'off-topic' question. She hesitated for a while and replied: "With your help, Mr. Jiang, of course she can become a big star."

I help nmb!

When did I help her?

This sentence was indeed a bit irritating to the old man. He almost breathed out the fragrance without holding back. Fortunately, his good character allowed him to take a few deep breaths before holding it back. He twitched the corner of his mouth and asked again: "What if it wasn't for me?"

Where’s the help?”

Suixi didn't know that Jiangbei's heart had fluctuated so much in such a short period of time. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and replied: "With the current development momentum of Youyou, I think he should be able to become a big star even without Mr. Jiang's help. It's just that

It might be a little later."

In fact, there is no particularly standard definition of a so-called big star, but Sui Xi and Jiang Bei both know the standard represented by the word 'big star'.

That is to win international awards.

Jiang Bei shook his head and said: "I don't agree with your statement. I think that since I got involved, young stardom has been too smooth. Although this can quickly bring her fame and achievements, these are all

It's just superficial glitz. In fact, she hasn't made much improvement in terms of connections and acting skills in the past two years, and it can even be said that she has stagnated."

"So what do you mean..." Sui Xi asked thoughtfully.

"I have deeply reflected during this period. Although I can create a comfortable environment to protect my child, I also don't want her to live in the world I weave for her. I hope she can have a life of her own.

Gain glory through your own efforts. So instead of saying that I am making things more difficult for you this time, it is better to say that I am helping her grow in a different way."

"Only those who have experienced hardships and setbacks will not be blown away by the wind." - From "Quotations of Anseong Gambling King in the First Half of His Life".

Sometimes Jiang Bei really admires Zhang Jiuliang, because he can always hear some very philosophical words from her mouth. And these words are not fabricated out of thin air, but the insights gained by the gambling king after his own experience.

Throughout the first half of Ancheng's gambling king's life, he was extremely ups and downs, struggling to experience the ups and downs of the world, grudges and hatreds in An'er Street, which is full of three religions and nine streams. It is precisely because of such experiences that he has become the strong, unrestrained and unruly Zhang Jiuliang he is now.

Of course, he didn't want Li Youqing to become Zhang Jiuliang's second best, but that didn't stop him from using this method to cover up the crimes he had committed.

In fact, his words really touched Sui Xi very much, and even reminded him of himself because of these words.

This is not because of empathy.

On the contrary, she felt that Jiang Bei's words seemed to be talking about herself.

After fourteen years in the industry, his journey to stardom has been smooth sailing.

No hardship.

No setbacks.

She didn't have any of the hardships, helplessness, and unwillingness that ordinary people have experienced.

In the more than ten years since she has been in the industry, she has only been accompanied by honors, praises, successes, and the favor of others.

Isn’t this just like Li Youqing now!

The difference is that the husband Li Youqing relies on is her father.

But the same thing is that there are people behind them who are paving the way for them and protecting them from setbacks and hardships.

But is this really the right thing to do?

Sui Xi recalled his acting career of more than ten years, which started at the peak of his career and won all major domestic awards within three years.

It was only now, when comparing herself to ten years ago, that she discovered that she had been making no progress over the years.

"So this is the reason why I can't achieve higher honors..." Sui Xi looked down at the circles of coffee and said to himself.

"Huh?" Jiang Bei looked confused.

What does it mean?

...

Several meanings are no longer important.

Because Suixi is autistic.

I heard from Li Youqing that after that day, Sui Xi went to Li Youqing to apologize, and then returned home to thank guests behind closed doors. It seemed that he had been seriously affected deep down in his heart and had developed a state of self-isolation.

It sounded so powerful that even Jiang Bei couldn't help but exclaimed: "Liangliang, those words of yours are really so magical! Not only did you deceive things, but you also deceived people into being autistic."

Liangliang, who was hiding in the study drawing illustrations, said indifferently when he heard the words: "There is nothing magical about this, it just works for certain people. Brother, haven't you noticed that Suixi's acting career is also smooth sailing? But

In fact, ten years ago she basically

Having won all the honors available in the country, it stands to reason that she should strive for the Star Awards, the highest honor in the future. But ten years later, not only has she not even been to the Star Awards ceremony, she has switched to singing instead.

Doesn’t that explain the problem?”

"Isn't this related to the market? The level of Chinese films has limited her. I heard that seven years ago she seemed to have gone to Hollywood to work hard, but the people there were more repulsive to her, so she came back as a last resort." Jiang Beimo

He analyzed while holding his chin.

This world is much the same as in the previous life. Because Chinese films have only developed in recent years, the quality is indeed inferior to those of foreign film industries that have been developed for hundreds of years. In addition, foreign countries have much more respect for Chinese films and Chinese people.

There is still a somewhat disdainful mentality. The combination of the two results in the fact that few Chinese can win the highest honor awards such as the Star Award.

Regarding this aspect, Zhang Jiuliang had different ideas from his brother, and retorted: "I think all rejection comes from one's own lack of strength. Strength is the fundamental factor that determines whether you can defeat everything. In today's era, no one can reject anyone anymore.

Was there any rejection sixty years ago? Didn’t a Chinese Kung Fu superstar emerge at that time and conquer the whole world by himself?”

Well...there's nothing wrong with that.

You can't blame anyone for anything. Working hard to improve yourself and not giving up are the fundamental ways to defeat everything.

only......

"Will Suixi completely lose confidence because of this incident?" Returning to the topic, Jiang Bei frowned and thought.

"It's possible, but maybe you will face yourself, work hard, and pursue the highest glory." Liangliang just finished speaking casually, and suddenly the pen in his hand paused and added: "This sentence also applies to sister-in-law.

"

"ah?"
