14. Chapter 14: Confrontation
Yang Qinglan, who was lost in thought, didn't notice that a dialog box appeared in front of her "eyes" at some point, on which in addition to the two options of "OK" and "Cancel", there was also a 60-second countdown, and this countdown was now only 40 seconds left.
Professor Luo, who was sitting across from her, watched the beautiful girl turn the first page of the storyboard in amazement, and then began to stare at that page in contemplation.
He thought it was strange.
The scene on the first page is a poster design drawn by him, and the scene is really grand, but it is not so fascinating to watch, right? Obviously, it's just a sketch design version of a promotional poster, and the main drama is still to come.
Look at her eyes are sloppy...... Is it in a daze?
So he was going to give her a reminder.
"The ......"
"Ahhh!!h
Director Luo was taken aback by this sudden scream, but he was a person who had made countless movies and seen many winds and waves, and on the surface, he only blinked his eyes, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Qinglan looked at the void blankly, and barely squeezed out a smile: "No...... It's just that something suddenly came to mind, which has nothing to do with the movie, and makes you laugh. ”
Looking at the eye-catching prompt in front of her, her heart was half cold.
[At the end of the self-selected time, the system will confirm the opening of the side quest by the default host.] 】
[The side quest has been opened, I wish you a happy quest.] 】
Happy peat! Actually default to the confirmation option, can you still let people eat well?!
Under Director Luo's curious gaze, Yang Qinglan picked up the storyboard and covered most of her face, silently mourning her increasingly distant breakfast.
The wood is already in the boat, she has no way to make the system withdraw the side quest, the top priority is to think about how to complete it without disturbing the progress of the main quest, and it is done, that is, a lot of experience points, if it can't be completed, he will still be punished for cheating!
What should she do......
After flipping through the entire storyboard with a mess, Yang Qinglan began to admire this great director.
The script she wrote is really not in the stream, even if it is changed by a well-known screenwriter, it still can't hide its brain-dead Mary Sue nature, let alone a standard Mary Sue name.
But the great director also found room to play in this, turning decay into magic, making it a film that is enough to compete for the best film of the year, and even the title of the film seems to have a personality.
Director Luo took advantage of the fact that some of the characters in the movie are actors, and stuffed at least three excellent original movie clips into the movie, which quickly enriched the originally boring plot.
The setting of the drama within the play makes this film a lot more interesting, coupled with the actors' good acting skills, it must be very exciting to shoot.
However, probably to take care of Qiu Xuyao's vase acting skills, Director Luo did not arrange many scenes in the drama for her, and the second female appeared either before the start of filming or after filming.
This is not good, she wants to become a movie queen, if she can't even play a supporting role, even if she becomes a movie queen by relying on the Qiu family's power, the experience points she gets in the end should be very limited.
The 00000000 seen in the system mall flashed in front of him, Yang Qinglan took a deep breath, raised a bright smile, and looked at Director Luo.
"Uncle Rob wouldn't mind if I changed a few episodes in the script?"
Director Luo showed an interested look and smiled: "Oh? How do you want to change it? ”
Yang Qinglan spread the storyboard on the table, turned to one of the pages, and pointed to the second female in the sketch with her index finger: "Here, I want her to participate in that movie as well......"
……
The two of them chatted about the rise here, and at the venue of the opening ceremony, a large group of people were anxious.
The original opening ceremony has exceeded about half an hour, but the chief director, chief screenwriter and second female have not yet arrived, and they can only wait.
When one of them found out that Director Luo's assistant Xiao Mo was also not there, they called him, but what they heard was an artificial voice, "The phone you dialed has been turned off, please dial again later." ”
Some people also ran to Director Luo's room to look for him, but they were stopped by Qiu Xuyao's assistant at the door, making it clear that if the people inside didn't take the initiative to come out, no one would want to go in.
No one wanted to go against the Qiu family, so the people who went to them all returned in vain.
In the end, a cadre of people could only wait for them while chatting at the venue, and the strange feelings that had been piled up in their hearts rose higher and higher, chatting and chatting, and the topic unconsciously deviated to two months ago.
Standing in the most eye-catching position in the crowd, Qing Mengli felt very tormented, and she regretted that she had agreed to the request of the eldest grandson Chengying to accompany her for a while.
Because she is the heroine of this movie, after the scheduled opening ceremony time comes, she can only stand in the position where the leading actors should stand, and the flower messenger Changsun Chengying doesn't care whether she is not related to the movie or not, she also stands there, and chats happily with the male leads.
This is a pain for Qing Mengli, who is in an embarrassing situation.
She doesn't have a high status in the entertainment industry, and because she doesn't have much common language with these actors who have more or less family power behind her, she doesn't know what to talk about after saying hello, so she can only stand there and smile and smile.
When Director Luo and Qiu Xuyao didn't come for a long time, the people in the venue quickly chatted in groups of three or five, and the topic was naturally inseparable from this movie...... and the same banquet held here two months ago.
Qing Mengli and the eldest grandson Chengying, the two people involved in the incident, were naturally regarded as rare animals and watched strongly.
The eldest grandson, Cheng Ying, who grew up in a complex environment since she was a child, can treat everyone as a cabbage and be calm, but Qing Mengli feels that she is about to be suffocated by the heavy pressure.
She regretted bringing her eldest grandson Chengying over, and even more regretted why she listened to him and took over this movie, she was so embarrassed before filming started, where could she have a better time in the next few months?
was talking happily with the male lead, and the eldest grandson Chengying, who was asking the other party to take good care of his sweetheart, suddenly felt a little cold behind him, and wanted to see what was going on immediately, but he felt rude to people, so he chatted for a few more sentences before pretending to turn his head inadvertently-
Except for Qing Mengli standing there with a smile on her face, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
pursed her lips absently, and after handing her sweetheart an appreciative smile, the eldest grandson Chengying continued to chat with the male lead.
The smile on Qing Mengli's face sank.
She felt a little silly.
It is true that the eldest grandson Chengying likes herself, and she has found many resources for herself in the entertainment industry, and it is not wrong to gain a firm foothold, but what else?
A person from a background like herself was rashly dragged into a circle that did not belong to her, and what she encountered did not make her tremble?
Speaking of which, she actually doesn't know anything about the eldest grandson Cheng Ying, she only knows that he is an excellent son of the heir of the eldest grandson family, and he has a lot of power in his hands that ordinary people can't think of, and there are so many women who take the initiative to stick to him, why did he take a fancy to himself?
She suddenly thought of Qiu Xuyao, who jumped off the balcony in front of a group of people two months ago in a small dress that ordinary people couldn't buy with money they could earn in their lifetime.
It was the fiancée of the eldest grandson, Cheng Ying, and it is said that they have known each other since childhood, and there are various aspects of the family relationship between them. Although she wears heavy makeup every time she sees her, Qing Mengli, who is also a woman, can see that even if she doesn't paint any makeup, Qiu Xuyao is also a very beautiful person.
Such a person was robbed of his fiancé by himself, and he was still embarrassed in public......
Qing Mengli's role was substituted, and she found that if she was in that situation, she seemed to have only one way to jump, and she didn't necessarily have the courage to jump.
She glanced at the eldest grandson Chengying, who was still full of grace and was comfortable among a group of stars, and suddenly felt a sense of disgust in her heart.
can force the woman who is his fiancée to jump off the building, the essence of this man can be seen, why didn't he think of it before?
Just when she was thinking about her life in a daze, the hall that was buzzing just now suddenly became quiet, and then many people rushed to a place, and the greetings of "Director Luo", "Teacher Luo" and "Professor Luo" were endless.
Director Luo is here?
Qing Mengli came to her senses and looked over there, but she couldn't see anything but a bunch of heads, but a long-haired woman standing in the corner caught her attention.
The woman was dressed plainly, her face was clean and only light makeup, there was no decoration on her hands except for a jade bracelet, and her hair was also very regular shawl and straight hair, which did not seem to match this richly decorated hall, but she did not feel anything abrupt.
Perhaps sensing that someone was looking at her, the woman looked at Qing Mengli, and the moment the two looked at each other, Qing Mengli's hand couldn't help but tremble.
Qiu Xuyao!
After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Qiu Xuyao walked towards her without a trace of superfluous expression on her face, as if she was looking at an inanimate object.
Qing Mengli wanted to retreat, but her legs froze there motionless.
Soon, the distance between the two was less than a meter.
Qing Mengli is not short, and she looks even taller when she wears high heels, and her eyes are level with Qiu Xuyao, who is wearing flat shoes, but she is suppressed miserably in terms of momentum, thus forming a sense of visual difference in looking up.
Qiu Xuyao didn't speak, just stood there staring at her,
Qing Mengli felt that her throat was a little dry, but she had to say something to break the atmosphere.
"You...... Is there something wrong? ”
Before she finished speaking, she saw the corners of the woman's mouth on the other side hook up an arc of unknown meaning.
"Have you read the script?"
“…… Well. ”
"This is my first script, if you play it badly, you know the consequences."
"......" Qing Mengli's gaze subconsciously wandered, looking for the figure of the eldest grandson Chengying in the crowd.
"Don't think that with two or three men behind you, you can sit back and relax." A more obvious expression finally appeared on Qiu Xuyao's face, mocking.
Qing Mengli opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"I admit that my previous methods were a little inferior, and the results did not go as I wanted, so I plan to change my approach and use this movie to teach you the philosophy of survival at our level, if you are smart enough, please learn hard." After speaking, Qiu Xuyao turned around and left, leaving Qing Mengli standing alone in place.
