Chapter 14: Hong Yu and Mingqi
Xu Heyu received a very strange phone call, she hurried to the door of the company and really found a short girl, she was carrying a backpack and looking down at the ground. I really don't know how this little girl came to find her, she's just a child.
When the little girl saw Xu Heyu, she was a little nervous, but there was a determined look in her eyes. Xu Hewei took her to a café near the company, asked her for a cup of milk tea and mousse cake, and ordered a latte herself. The little girl's name is Hong Yu, the daughter of Hong Qi's second uncle, she also heard Xu Hewei's phone call from Hong Qi, so she skipped school and took her New Year's money to take a train for more than ten hours to this strange city to find a stranger.
Hong Yu is just in the third year of junior high school this year, but she is tired of such a day-to-day life, she likes to sing and dance, and wants to be on stage, but her family is firmly opposed, they still think that reading is the best way out.
"You want me to sign you?" Xu Heyu was a little surprised that she had such courage at such a young age.
"I want to act! My family said that I was very good-looking, I wanted to act, and I also liked acting! My cousin said you were a good agent. Hong Yu pursed her lips, her big moist eyes staring at her tightly, as if all hope was pressed on her.
"Pretty is an advantage, but it's definitely not the key to whether you can act well. You're still young, and your main focus is still on your studies. Xu Heyu took a sip of coffee and said: "I'll be honest with you, I never sign someone who hasn't gone to college, even if it's Ji Qianyi, I also ask him to be admitted to college, otherwise, I will give up on him." If you want me to sign you, then three years later, you come to me again with a university acceptance letter, and the minimum standard of the university is a film school, and I will definitely sign you when the time comes. ”
"Is reading really that important?" Hong Yu blinked, looking confused, "I see that many actors are not very highly educated, don't they still act very well?" ”
"The artists I want to cultivate are long-term actors, not short-lived stars. As an actor, you must endure loneliness, endure hardship, and more importantly, have connotation; As a star, as long as he looks good, he will do well, but this kind of thing is usually just a meal of youth, and after a few years, he will be replaced by others and then eliminated. So you have to think about which one to do, and then make a decision to choose the future path. Xu Heyu didn't think that Hong Yu was young and coaxed her and persuaded her, but gave her a detailed analysis, hoping that she could clearly know what she wanted.
"Are all agents as strict as you?" Hong Yu was frightened by her words, she thought that acting would be a very simple matter.
"It's just my request, but as a girl, you have to choose carefully when you step into this industry. Now Ji Qianyi, he has to study until after the early hours of the morning every day, and he has to see the stitches to shoot commercials, do interviews, and prepare for new movies. You see that he is glamorous, but behind the scenes, he has done far more than you can imagine, because he just wants to be a good actor! Xu Heyu looked at her like this and knew that she was not ready.
"But I really like acting, and I've been taking dance lessons and piano lessons all the time, and I've been working hard, I just want to be recognized, but no one at home supports me, and I always say I'm dreaming." Hong Yu's face was full of grievances, if her family supported her, she would not run away from home.
"If you can stick to dance and piano lessons, why can't you stick to school? As long as you stick to college, you will find that many of the previous ideas are very immature. Xu Heyu looked at Hong Yu's still immature face, and she would definitely become a big beauty in the future.
"So, do you have to go to college for me?" Hong Yu was a little discouraged.
"This is my most basic request, you shouldn't have told your family when you went out this time, I'll buy you a plane ticket and go back early." I'll call your cousin and ask her to pick you up at the airport. Xu Heyu got up and took her out, Hong Yu followed her silently, although she didn't understand why she was so strict, but when she saw her, she inexplicably felt a sense of trust in her heart.
Xu Hewei drove her to the airport, bought the latest flight ticket, and then bought her some food to accompany her to wait for the flight. Hong Yu thought about it, looked at her side face, and stopped talking. Xu Heyu is a very beautiful sister, she is very patient with herself, and she has not hit her ideals, if she can follow her, her dream should be realized.
"Sister Xu, I will come to you with a university notice in three years, don't forget your promise today." It wasn't until the moment of boarding the plane that Hong Yu finally opened his mouth and looked up at her, with a firmness in his eyes that did not match her age.
"Of course, I will keep that promise. But in addition to good grades, you should also clean yourself, you should know what I mean. The next time we meet, I don't want you to run away from home without saying goodbye, how worried the family will be, you know? Xu Hewei touched the little girl's head, and she was determined that she would not live up to this child's wishes.
"Thank you, see you in three years!" Hong Yu waved at her, and her figure disappeared behind the security gate. At this time, Xu Heyu didn't know that a few years later, Hong Yu became the biggest misunderstanding between her and Ji Qianyi.
Xu Hewei found that Ji Qianyi liked to run to his house more and more, and the National Day holiday came after the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if it was a college entrance examination candidate, the school still had a week's holiday in accordance with national regulations, and he actually took the subway to Xu Hewei's residence after evening self-study on September 30, which scared Xu Hewei. If he hadn't made a lot of preparations and hadn't been recognized, otherwise, Xu Heyu would have jumped again.
Ji Qianyi lives in Xu Heyu as a matter of course, anyway, his father is busy all day, his mother is still abroad and has not come back, and the home is deserted, so he might as well follow Xu Heyu. Xu Heyu is also helpless about this young master, he enjoys taking care of himself very much. It's just that this time Ji Qianyi made a mistake, Xu Hewei was very busy throughout the National Day holiday, she followed Duan Lei to Shanghai to talk about the production of a TV series, and now Duan Lei is still in the name of an agent, but in fact, it is also focused on the part of film and television production, and the management of artists is gradually relaxed.
The reason why Duan Lei took Xu Hewei with her is that, on the one hand, she needs to have a comprehensive understanding of the production process of a TV series or movie, so as to pave the way for future work; On the other hand, it is Duan Lei's selfishness, he hopes to cultivate Xu Heyu as his successor and hand over his network to her.
Xu Hewei flew to Shanghai on October 2, so Ji Qianyi was the only one left in the huge family. And because Ji Qianyi has been filming since he was a child, he doesn't have many friends of the same age, so he doesn't know who to go out to relieve his boredom. Ji Qianyi stayed at home for three days, and finally got bored, so he walked around the street alone wearing sunglasses and a mask.
Ji Qianyi went to the video game city to play a game, and after being abused and disheartened, he decided to give up and go to the cinema upstairs to watch a movie to pass the time. There were a lot of people in the theater, and as soon as Ji Qianyi sat down, he found a girl sitting next to him, and it seemed that he was also coming out alone, so he felt a little close. He listened to the sobs of the people around him, and couldn't help but regret that he seemed to have chosen the wrong film, such a movie with a weak plot that would only earn girls' tears, he gave this movie a big negative score in his heart.
It's just that the girl next to him seems to be crying a lot, and it seems that he really doesn't understand the tears of girls. The girl next to her rummaged through the bag, as if she was looking for something, Ji Qianyi tried to hand her a pack of tissues, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then took it. It wasn't until the end of the movie that everyone began to end one after another, and the girl thanked him, and Ji Qianyi saw her appearance clearly, a very delicate girl, with deep dimples when she laughed, compared to Xu He's bland beauty, she was as bright as a girl of this age, but with a little greenness.
She looked at her eyes from doubt to surprise and then recovered as before, and Ji Qianyi knew that she was a smart girl. Because he didn't want to stay with her for too long, Ji Qianyi asked her name and left in a hurry. It turned out that this girl had a nice name Mingqi, and she was just a college entrance examination student like him. It's just that Ji Qianyi didn't know how much trouble Mingqi's appearance brought to Xu Hewei.
