13. Chapter 13: Trigger the branch
Maybe it's because she has been with her daughter in the hospital for too long, and the outside affairs have been delayed too much, after Yang Qinglan was discharged from the hospital, Qiu Yunzhuo and Luo Yuanyuan never showed up again, but occasionally asked some subordinates to greet her, which made her feel a lot easier.
The time soon came to the day when the movie "The Domineering President Fell in Love with Me" was launched.
Sitting in the nanny car heading to the venue of the opening ceremony, Yang Qinglan finally had a little sense of the start of the task, she was suddenly very glad that her last mission was delayed for two months in vain, and she developed patience, if the progress of the first task was as slow as now, probably her psychological state would be affected by Yanzhòng, right?
I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the Qiu family, but the venue for the start-up ceremony was the hotel where Qiu Xuyao jumped off the building two months ago.
Yang Qinglan herself has no opinion on such an arrangement, but the other leading actors who also came to participate in the opening ceremony may not be as easy as her.
If she remembers correctly, except for Director Luo, who was not in China at the time because of personal affairs, and some low-level staff who were not qualified to participate in the high-end banquet, most of the filming team had witnessed the farce at that time, maybe they would not have expressed any public opinion on it, but they didn't know what they would think in their hearts.
(Qiu Yunzhuo, who made this arrangement, said in his heart: My little princess's joke is so good-looking?) Do you still want to take the opportunity to step on our Qiu family? Hehe, I'm such a grudge-bearer! )
An hour later, the nanny car stopped, and Yang Qinglan, who was dressed plainly, walked into the hotel lobby accompanied by her assistant.
Coincidentally, Qing Mengli walked in from the door on the other side of the hall almost at the same time, not only dressed as if she was going to a dressage ball, but also followed by a male companion in a neat suit.
The eldest grandson, Cheng Ying.
When seeing the appearance of the eldest grandson Chengying, Yang Qinglan swallowed a mouthful of saliva very spinelessly.
No wonder Qiu Xuyao was engaged to the eldest grandson Chengying, who was not very familiar with her, this facial features and figure are simply a bug among human beings! Even Qing Mengli, who is the author's own daughter, can't steal a trace of the limelight from this man if she dresses up like that and stands beside him.
Although the author's own daughter is indeed very beautiful, she lacks the kind of temperament that can only be cultivated with a good background and upbringing, and standing with the eldest grandson Cheng Ying is the life of being a green leaf.
Facing that good-looking face nymphomaniac for two seconds, Yang Qinglan's sanity was called back by the progress bar above the heads of the two of them.
The appearance of two 0% progress bars together made her mood not so good, so she withdrew her gaze, dismissed the idea of going up to say hello to them in the sense of etiquette, and walked straight inside with a blank face.
Of course, Qing Mengli also saw Yang Qinglan, but she didn't recognize who she was the moment she saw her, and when she saw her, she just looked at them twice and turned her head away, let alone connect her with Qiu Xuyao.
But the eldest grandson beside her, Cheng Ying, recognized it, so he subconsciously held Qing Mengli's hand and took her behind him.
After all, Qiu Xuyao has not liked heavy makeup since she was born, and her eldest grandson, Chengying, who has seen her many times on various occasions since she was a child, can naturally recognize that the woman who only wears light makeup and does not look powdered is Qiu Xuyao who jumped downstairs in front of her not long ago.
Is she ready to transform?
The eldest grandson, Chengying, narrowed his eyes.
Unlike before, this time he felt a sense of threat in her that he hadn't felt before, and this feeling reached its climax when she turned her head away from them.
He couldn't help but tighten his hand holding Qing Mengli's hand.
Originally, Qing Mengli was a little dissatisfied when she was suddenly held by her hand, but because so many people were watching, and the people around her were not small fish and shrimp, she didn't break free, but this sudden pinch immediately made her shake off his hand in pain.
"Hiss-pain! What are you doing? ”
The eldest grandson Chengying immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I saw that woman also came a little gaffe, I'm afraid she will hurt you." ”
Qing Mengli was stunned: "Which woman?" ”
"Qiu Xuyao."
"She's coming?!!"
"......" The eldest grandson, Cheng Ying, raised his chin towards the two backs who had already walked away.
Qing Mengli's eyes widened: "That's Qiu Xuyao?!" I thought it was some celebrity's assistant! ”
The eldest grandson Chengying smiled: "She has hurt you so many times, you can't recognize her, she should be very angry if she knows, right?" ”
"But why didn't she come? If it had been before, she would have come to talk to you. ”
"God knows what she's planning." The eldest grandson Chengying shrugged his shoulders, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, let's go in first, although you are the leading actor, you are still young, and it is not good to be late." ”
"Hmm."
On the other side, Director Luo, who was staying in a special lounge, was watching the movie storyboard sent by his assistant, holding a pencil in his hand and constantly drawing and changing on the paper.
There was also a man sitting next to him, who was complaining.
"The Qiu family is too deceitful! It's just that he dares to support the teacher at will like this because he has a little power, this script is simply terrible! I still can't believe that the teacher actually took this script, and the big screenwriter Mr. Zhang would deign to change the script for a woman whose education level is not higher than high school! ”
Director Luo's hand stopped writing and drawing.
"Xiao Mo, how long have you been studying with me?"
"Ah...... Yes? Overwhelmed by the teacher's jumping question, the man's mind went blank for two seconds before answering, "It's been exactly two years since this month." ”
"Hehehe......" Director Luo smiled in a low voice, picked up the pen and continued to change the storyboard, "It's been two years, ah......" and then he didn't speak.
Xiao Mo was a little weak by the teacher's "hehe" laughter, feeling as if he had done something wrong, but he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong, and he didn't dare to ask, so he had to sit there scratching his ears and cheeks.
Neither of the two people in the room noticed that their doors were not closed, and two women were standing outside the door, "Qiu Xuyao" and her assistant.
Yang Qinglan originally planned to come over to say hello to Director Luo before the official start of the boot-up ceremony according to Qiu Yunzhuo's instructions, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stood at the door, before she knocked on the door, she heard the people inside belittleing her script.
Yang Qinglan's hand that raised and was about to knock on the door didn't knock down in the end, and turned her head and asked the assistant in a low voice: "Do you know who the person talking inside is?" ”
The assistant nodded: "That's a child of the Mo family's side branch, because he was more interested in the director industry, he was sent by his grandfather to study with Director Luo." ”
The Mo family?
Yang Qinglan rummaged through Qiu Xuyao's memory and found that this was just a medium-level business family, with a short history of family development, and no big backers in the political arena, it was a small family that depended on the eldest grandson's family to survive.
So she "tsk": "I really don't want to see this person on my movie set." ”
The assistant quickly answered: "Okay miss, I'll deal with it right away." After saying that, he dialed a number from his mobile phone, took two steps to the side, and whispered something to someone.
Yang Qinglan glanced sideways at the assistant who looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old in surprise, and had a higher level of confidence in his heart about the Qiu family.
She just complained a little, but she didn't expect that she was just an accompanying assistant with such a high executive ability, it seems that she can't talk casually here. Her purpose is to complete the whitewashing mission, not to find a new enemy for herself, in case it is not good to be self-defeating.
The assistant's phone call was very fast, and after two or three sentences, he returned to Yang Qinglan's side.
"It's done, Miss doesn't have to worry about seeing him on the set."
The corner of Yang Qinglan's mouth twitched: "Well, it's good." Then he finally knocked on Director Luo's door.
The young man surnamed Mo was called away by a phone call when Yang Qinglan was talking to Director Luo, and he didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, and his face turned pale when he left.
The two people in the chat didn't care about this little thing, but the assistant on the side took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to the other side.
[It's fast, go back and add bonuses.] 】
Yang Qinglan chatted happily with Director Luo, because she found that her script was not criticized by the internationally renowned director, and the director did not read the screenwriter's revised version, but the electronic manuscript she handed in.
She felt like her face was going to explode.
"Uncle Luo is really ...... I know my own level, and I can't afford your compliment. I originally just wrote it for fun, but I didn't expect my father to value it so much, and he invited you here, and I was flattered when I got the news. ”
Director Luo laughed: "Xiao Qiu is really still as obsessed with women as before, I still remember when you were a child, you once cried because a toy fell into the pool, Xiao Qiu, who has always been clean, actually jumped into the pool to pick it up, which really scared me at the time, so I was not surprised at all that he asked me to make your movie." ”
Yang Qinglan could only laugh dryly.
Father's love is like a mountain, she is really under a lot of pressure!
"Do you think a good movie must be backed up by a good script?" Director Luo put the thick storyboard in front of her, "I will use my work to sue you, this is an excuse for the incompetent, not to mention that your script is really good, challenging a field that I have never set foot in, and making me full of fighting spirit." ”
Yang Qinglan carefully picked up the storyboard, and as soon as she opened the first page, she was shocked by the grand shots that came out in the form of sketches.
【Di――】
【Trigger Side Quest】
[The host "Lan" has triggered the side quest of the world of "The Wind and Water of the Civilian Actress" - The Road of the Queen]
[Task content: Starring in the heroine of a movie and winning the title of domestic actress]
[Difficulty: 3 and a half stars]
【Mission Time: Unlimited】
[Does the host take over the task?] 】
Yang Qinglan's hand holding the storyboard shook uncontrollably.
Side quests!
She actually triggered a side quest that represented more XP!
But before she could be happy, she was poured cold water on the content of the task.
Won the title of actress......
Regardless of whether she has the ability to get the actress or not, after all, some things are not difficult in the eyes of the Qiu family, and what worries her the most is that she doesn't! Time! Space!
Even if a movie is made quickly, it will take several months, not to mention a well-known director like Director Luo, who plays a supporting actress in the movie "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me", will definitely not win the Actress Award, if this movie is finished and then make a starring movie......
She's probably going to be starved and faint at home, right?
