The scene just now also fell into the eyes of two girls, one tall and one short, not far from the school gate. They watched Tong Yali get on the champagne-colored Ma Liu, and then the car drove away in their sight.
The short girl couldn't help but sighed: "No matter what industry it is, it's all about connections. Look at how smart she is. She knows how to take the wife route, and she actually got the lead female role in He Xinxin's movie. It's really enviable."
As he said that, he raised his head and looked at the uncertain expression on the face of his best friend, and there was a bit more playfulness in his eyes.
It's a pity that this girl named Bai Jing would never have thought in her wildest dreams that she was actually the female lead in the original version of "A Tale of Two Donkeys".
But the tall Bai Xue felt very uncomfortable at this moment. She had known Teacher He for a long time, but why didn't she get this opportunity?
It had to be said that she was feeling sad and sad at this time.
It stands to reason that she and Cheng Hao are real fellow villagers, and the other person was her childhood idol, but for some reason, they always feel a little disgusted with each other now. When they meet on campus occasionally, they just nod and say hello.
However, she did not regret that she could not establish a good relationship with Cheng Hao, but felt aggrieved that Teacher He had forgotten her at this juncture.
"Jingjing, you go ahead, I'm not going." She suddenly stopped and said to her best friend beside her.
"Why? You're already at the school gate, why don't you go?" Bai Jing said in surprise.
"I, I just feel a little uncomfortable. Besides, when I got there, I looked at you rehearsing stupidly. It was not interesting at all. You go ahead, I'll go back first."
After Bai Xue finished speaking, she turned and left without even waiting for her best friend's reply.
"Why……"
Bai Jing wanted to stop her, but looking at her best friend's lonely back, she could only shake her head and let out a long sigh.
Bai Xue walked aimlessly from East Mianmian Hutong to South Tongluo Ancient Alley, and finally walked into a cafe that she often frequented. It was noon, the cafe had just opened, and she was the first customer. The boss was a little surprised, but
He greeted her warmly and made her a cup of caputino according to the old rules, and also gave her an extra freshly baked snack.
Bai Xue sat at a table by the window, holding her chin and looking out the window. The steaming and fragrant coffee in front of her did not arouse her appetite at all, and she looked sad.
If someone is passing by outside at this time and sees a sad girl by the window, this picture will definitely feel very literary.
Emotions are sometimes really elusive. It should be said that Bai Xue rarely has such sad moments of spring and autumn, and more often he is heartless.
But I don’t know what’s going on today? Maybe it’s because I’m about to enter my last year of college, and I have a sense of crisis subconsciously; maybe it’s because I see that the people around me are developing smoothly, and it’s inevitable that I feel a little unbalanced.
The real reason may not even be clear to her.
There was a time when she always thought that she was very lucky. She was very lucky to be admitted to her favorite Chinese drama. She was very lucky to get the role of the second female lead in a TV series for the first time when she was a sophomore. After the TV series was broadcast, she was very lucky.
The response was quite good. Although there was an ugly man who was entangled with her during the period, she still felt that it was a very good memory. She liked to stand in front of the camera and show herself.
Originally, she would go smoothly in the future, one drama after another, and eventually she would become a big star like Cheng Hao. But for some reason, in the past year, the so-called acting career in her imagination seemed to have been paused.
She has no acting skills, and there are no roles for her, and she often fails in auditions. Even if the school puts on a musical, she can't get her turn. She can only sit stupidly in the audience and watch her best friends rehearse on the stage.
Although most of her classmates were the same as her, and it was not easy to even find a chance to play a small role, she was quite unwilling to be treated as the second female lead, especially when her best friends quietly appeared one after another.
After two low-budget movies, her eagerness to get ahead became even more urgent.
I kept holding the phone in my hand, with a person's name displayed on the screen. I moved my finger to the launch button several times without dialing it out. My expression was very hesitant, but very unwilling.
Her finger paused on the launch button again. This time she took a deep breath and finally gritted her teeth and pressed it.
After two rings, the phone was quickly connected, and the voice that I hadn't heard for a long time came out: "Hey, Xiaobai, are you okay?"
The background sound seems a bit noisy.
Bai Xue held the phone to her ear and didn't know what to say.
"Hey, Xiaobai, are you there? Hello..."
"Oh, Teacher He, I'm here." Bai Xue said hurriedly.
"There was no sound just now. I thought your phone accidentally touched it. Oh, do you have something to do with me?" He Xin said on the phone.
"Uh...it's okay."
"It's okay, what are you calling?" He Xin said with a smile.
"No, Teacher He, I just want to ask if you are free? I want to treat you to dinner."
"Have a meal?"
"Just today, are you free?"
"Today, what time is it now, and you just thought of inviting me to dinner? I am eating now, and dinner is not available. I have to go home to cook tonight."
"What about tomorrow?" Bai Xue asked anxiously.
"It may not work tomorrow. I have to join the team early the day after tomorrow. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow. Hey, Xiaobai, is it really okay for you to find me?"
"..."
"If you need my help with something, just say so. I'll be in the capital tomorrow, but I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow. I have to go to a mountainous area. There may be problems with mobile phone signal. If you want to find me then, you may not be able to find me.
." He Xin said a little uneasily when he heard the silence of Xiaojiao on the other end of the phone.
"Ah?...Oh, okay, let's wait until you come back later."
After Bai Xue finished speaking, she hung up the phone in a hurry.
"Hey, Xiaobai..."
In the 798 Art District, in the private room of Xiaowen Canteen next to Xinhao Media, He Xin called "hey" twice on the phone and wondered: "This girl is so weird, what does she mean?"
Sitting across from him was a man in his thirties with a crew cut, a somewhat wretched appearance, and said with a smile: "Xiao He, the one who just heard you talking about a noob is one of your good sisters?"
"You guys, why do you care so much? We, Ah Xin, are decent people, don't talk nonsense." Ning Hao shouted before He Xin could speak.
Zhang Baibai, who was next to him, also joined in the fun. He tapped the wretched man with his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Lei Zi, you think everyone else is like you. Ah Xin is very discerning, and it's not like you are just pulling him into the basket."
vegetable."
Others may not know this, but when she was in Chongqing, Jiang Qinqin came to ask about He Xin every now and then, and Zhang Baimenqing was very clear about it. While talking, this guy kept winking at He Xin, as if to say: "Brother
, your taste is high enough, I admire you! Don’t worry, I have the tightest mouth, and I will never say anything that shouldn’t be said.”
He Xin was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "She's not a good sister, she's just a girl from the first elementary school in China Drama. She met me when I was helping Director Hao when I was taking the art exam. Cheng Hao is from the same hometown as ours.
, also from Qingdao. We usually have a good relationship. Something may have happened to this girl. I wanted to ask her on the phone just now, but unfortunately she hung up the phone without saying anything. Do you think this is a cause for trouble? "
"The little girls nowadays are all very quick-thinking. Don't underestimate them. Maybe you are just a piece of cake in the eyes of others." The wretched man Chopsticks nodded.
Then he pointed at Zhang Baibai and said with a smile: "But Lao Zhang was almost interested. He finally found a new person, but ended up getting an advantage over another Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang, you have to work hard, otherwise people will use you as a springboard!"
"
"Don't talk nonsense. I was originally interested in her talent. In fact, this girl is really good and has good acting skills. In fact, there is no need to be like this. I am still too impatient."
Zhang Baibai shook his head and sighed, with a look of regret on his face. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for the girl, or because he didn't have it in the first place...
"Don't talk nonsense, what if this is true love!" Ning Hao said angrily.
"My true love, it's not like you don't know that Lao Zhang is good for this one. You said you have such a good woman like Liu Bei, but you just...well, you are not satisfied!" The wretched man actually sighed.
"Oh, I almost forgot, back then Liu Bei was still the lover of your dreams. Didn't they just divorce, and they have a child, so hurry up and take care of them!" Ning Hao teased.
"Hey, Mouse, you're going too far! It's true that Liu Bei was my dream girl back then, but she just encountered such a bad thing, and you're going too far to make fun of her as an orphan and a widowed mother.
!" The wretched man rarely said with a serious face.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Lei, it's my fault, I'll drink as a penalty!" After saying this, Ning Hao realized that his words were inappropriate, so he quickly picked up the cup and drank a cup of wine as a penalty.
The wretched man in front of me is called Wang Lei. He is also a well-known photographer in the industry. He has photographed many excellent film and television dramas, such as Da Gangzi's "Three Images" and "Farewell, Vancouver"; Ding Xiaohei's "Jade"
Guanyin", "Ordinary Life"; Shen Yan's "Chinese Divorce", "Our Youth Has Nowhere to Place", and Ye Jing's "Days Related to Youth" which was popular in the first half of this year, etc.
He, Shen Yan, and Ning Hao were all buddies who shot music videos and commercials together, and they also collaborated with He Xin twice. We usually get together to eat and drink together. In addition, he and Zhang Baibai are also buddies, and they did it together today.
Come here. We are all acquaintances, and the conversation at the wine table is very casual.
Thinking about the buddies who hung out together back then, Shen Yan and Zhang Baibai have already been directors. Ning Hao was a small-time actor a few years ago, but this year he became a blockbuster and stimulated Wang Lei. He also served as an executive two years ago.
The director has also directed a 20-episode TV series. This time he found someone to save a script for an urban love-themed TV series called "Where Is Happiness" and is preparing to start his career as a director.
Ning Hao's nonsense offended the sacred and inviolable female voice in Wang Lei's mind. Seeing Ning Hao drinking as a penalty, Wang Lei's face was still not good-looking. He Xin quickly changed the subject and said: "Brother Lei
, Xiaobai who called me just now, actually you also know him, it’s Bai Xue.”
"Oh, it turns out it's her! This little girl is pretty good. I eavesdropped just now. She seems to respect you quite a bit, and she always congratulates the teacher."
In fact, Wang Lei didn't want to fall out with Ning Hao. This guy was just pretending. As soon as he changed the topic, he immediately started to lively and said with joy: "This girl is really good at acting, and she is tall and beautiful. She was shot at the time.
At that time, the singer named Chen chased her for a while, but unfortunately he couldn't catch up."
"Oh, this girl is pretty good. Who is the singer? Now their group is very popular. Well, Chen He's singing is pretty good, but it's a pity that he looks a little bit disappointing to the audience. No wonder the girl doesn't like him." Ning
Hao took the opportunity to chat with a smile.
Wang Lei glanced at him and said disdainfully: "What do you know? If those guys really act like gangsters, I tell you, that girl won't be able to resist them at all. There are people on the set to protect them, so they are safe."
thing."
As he said that, Wang Lei looked at He Xin and said with a smile: "Why did Qi Huan protect that girl Bai Xue so much back then? It turns out the roots are here!"
He Xin was a little embarrassed and said: "It was her first time filming, and she happened to be in the same group as Qi Huan, so I asked Qi Huan to take care of her."
Then he immediately added: "But I don't know anything about Chen He's pursuit of her that you just mentioned. Neither Xiaobai nor Qi Huan mentioned it to me."
Wang Lei touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "But I guess this girl may really be in trouble."
"Really? How do you say it?" He Xin was stunned and asked hurriedly.
"That guy surnamed Chen is unhappy because he can't catch up with me. I heard that he once told people in the circle that if anyone uses Bai Xue in the future, they will have trouble with him."
"Who the hell is he? He just sings, and he's involved in the film and television industry?" Ning Hao said with an unconvinced look on his face.
That's right, since "The Stone" became a blockbuster, this guy has gained a bit of the momentum of a great director. When he shows off his power, it looks like that.
"Mouse, don't tell me, he really has some energy. He is Ye Jing's little brother, and he is still qualified to make a voice in the Beijing circle. Besides, what does that girl have? She has no money and no power. We can't do it.
A little girl goes to offend someone." Wang Lei said with seriousness.
Then he pointed at He Xin and said: "If that girl moves Xiao He out, everyone might still give us He Da the best actor a bit of face, but this girl is not ostentatious! I guess she may not be able to hold on anymore.
I'm going to call Xiao He for help later. Hey, why didn't she say anything? Maybe she's still in the dark..."
Wang Lei was nagging, but aside from mentioning it, this was the first time He Xin heard that Xiaojiao had experienced such a thing. But in the original time and space, she really married that ugly man.
It's just that after Little Pepper became popular, various news broke out one after another about the woman having a penis and being a little wolf dog; the man being wronged in various ways, and then being arrested. And the couple was said to have divorced a long time ago.
But no one can tell who is right in this kind of thing, and the common people are just taking advantage of it.
Zhang Baibai was a little late-minded. He just reacted and asked: "Leizi, you are talking about the girl who played Qiao Qiao in "Stories Related to Youth", right?"
"Yes, that's her. When we first took the photo, she was just a sophomore. I thought this girl was quite smart." Wang Lei praised her profusely.
"Well, she's quite pretty too."
Zhang Baibai nodded, glanced at He Xin who was sitting thoughtfully next to him, and said to Wang Lei: "In that case, please reach out and help this girl, which can be regarded as helping our Xiao He solve a problem.
"
"Why……"
When He Xin heard this, he was startled and said, "What problem do I have?"
"Oh, Xiao He, okay, don't say anything. We are all brothers. We all know it by heart. We will definitely not go out and talk about this kind of thing. You still can't believe me!" Zhang Baibai kept insisting.
She winked at him.
Then he urged Wang Lei: "I said Lei Zi, have you thought about it?"
"this……"
Wang Lei scratched his scalp and looked embarrassed.
He Xin roughly guessed Zhang Baibai's intention, and also knew that these guys had misunderstood. But this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Even if it was explained, I'm afraid they would think that you are a bitch.
I had to build a chastity memorial arch, and I had to scold you for being hypocritical. Thinking that it might be helpful to Little Pepper, I simply kept silent.
Ning Hao's small eyes were round and round, he looked at this and that, adding fuel to the fire and said: "Brother Lei, are you afraid of offending the man named Chen? No, you can be considered a person from the Beijing circle.
, you have Director Baosteel behind you to support you, do you still have to look at the face of that person named Chen?"
"Shit, why do I need to look at his face? His look at mine is pretty much the same!"
Wang Lei was finally aroused, and he slapped the table and said: "Okay, I've decided to help Xiao He. Not to mention, this girl Xiao Bai is really suitable for the role of the second female lead in my play. That's all.
, I will ask her to audition later, and if there are no big problems, I will use this person."
"Hourful! What did I say? Our brother Lei is still brave!" Ning Hao said with his thumb raised.
Wang Lei and Ning Hao have known each other for so many years, how could they not know who this guy is, but it is always a very comfortable thing to be complimented.
Especially Ning Hao, who immediately yelled at He Xin: "I said, Ah Xin, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and give a toast to our brother Lei! Our brother Lei is righteous!"
He Xin quickly filled up his glass and said with sincerity: "No matter what, Brother Lei, I toast you this glass of wine, I thank you, and this is just a favor that I owe you."
"Why are my brothers so polite?"
Wang Lei patted him on the shoulder and drank with him while laughing.
He Xin reluctantly drank a glass of beer, and then said with a wry smile: "But let me make it clear first that Xiaobai and I are just ordinary friends. In fact, if Brother Lei didn't say anything about her just now, I really don't know anything about her...
"
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Baibai: "Yes, yes, we all know that, you are just ordinary friends, that's alright, right? However, you can't just respect Leizi, you also have to
Give us a toast. Without me and Haozi, how could Leizi be so happy!"
"Hey, let me tell you, Lao Zhang, what did you say? Do you dare to love me, Wang Lei, or are you just pretending to be honest?"
"No, no, no, Brother Lei, Lao Zhang can't speak, how can you be hypocritical? I, Ning Hao, don't believe it at all, come on, come on, I'll give you a toast first!"
Looking at the lively scene in front of him, He Xin couldn't help but shook his head. He picked up the mobile phone on the table and wanted to call Xiaojiao, but on second thought, he decided not to do it.
But he just couldn't figure it out. In Tang Wei's side, the wheel of history was rolling forward unstoppably, but why did Little Pepper's life path change inadvertently?
