Chapter 177: With a face

Qiao Du was warmed by the spontaneity and cuteness of the boy in front of her, and said with a smile, "Thank you." ”

"Sister Qiao Duan, you're welcome." Kim Sang-cheol smiled back.

The group began to walk towards the banquet hall where the press conference was held.

Director Hu happened to be waiting for them at the door, looked up at the four of them, stayed on Qiao Du and Bai Yan for a while longer, and said with a smile: "It's almost time, let's all go in, wait for the reporter to ask questions, everyone said truthfully, there is only one, don't reveal the plot." ”

Everyone listened for a while.

Director Hu has a well-known habit in the circle, regardless of the salary, just whether the script is good or not. If the script is good, the salary is low, but if the script is not good, no matter how high the salary is, it will not be ignored.

Director Hu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the script of "Yuanhai", and after he signed the contract, he found that the Han Emperor did not want to cooperate with other companies at all this time, and the main purpose was to use this movie to support several artists of the company, the male and female protagonists, and the supporting actors and actresses must all use the Han Emperor artists.

How can this be reasonable, as a director, the selection of actors is the top priority, and the power of this top priority is not in his hands, what else is the director.

Director Hu wanted to resign in a fit of anger, but was persuaded by many parties, and finally chose his favorite Wu Yi to be the leading actor, so he gave up for the time being.

When Qiao Du walked inside, the information that Qi Shuang had given her in advance came to mind, thanks to this information, the previous crew, everyone would look up to her, because she was Fu Jingchao's girlfriend, but now it is different, she is nothing.

What is the Golden Deer Award for Best Actress for?

There are so many actresses in the entertainment industry who have won awards, if you want to stand tall, in addition to relying on your own efforts, you must also learn to look at the situation, her current situation is to see all directions, listen to all directions, no one can help her, only herself.

In the banquet hall, reporters were crowded, and when they saw the scene of the main creators, they raised their cameras one after another.

Director Hu led the main creator to sit down, Director Hu sat in the center, Wu Yi and Qiao Duan on the left, and Bai Yan and Jin Shangche on the right.

As soon as this seat was lined up, the reporters in the audience saw the doorway, Director Hu is a well-known temperament in the circle, who he likes and who he doesn't like, he can generally get a glimpse of it from the press conference where he makes a movie.

Director Hu's left and right hands arranged today are sitting Wu Yi and Bai Yan respectively, Wu Yi once starred in Director Hu's literary film "You in Two Worlds" and became popular overnight, and the two were out of control after that, and collaborated on many acclaimed and popular movies.

These two have been in a cooperative relationship for many years, not to mention Bai Yan, a newcomer, and a little famous on the reality show, but no matter how much weight they have, they are not enough to sit on the right hand side of Director Hu.

Bai Yan, a newcomer who has been highly praised by the Han Emperor in recent years, has recently been widely circulated as Fu Jingchao's new favorite.

When the reporters at the scene saw this seat, they knew a little bit in their hearts.

Qiao Du realized that many reporters on the scene had cast intriguing glances at her, she lowered her thick eyelashes, unscrewed the mineral water in front of her and took a sip.

Today's situation, Qiao Wei had already expected it when Lu Wei showed off her power in the dressing room, so she was not too surprised, but the discomfort was certain, and she would not like to be treated differently by so many people.

She thought to herself, and someone next to her called her, "Miss Qiao." ”

Qiao Du was startled, and saw that it was the host of the press conference.

The host of the press conference is the host of the Han Emperor's contract, holding a mobile phone in his hand, as if he had just answered a call, bending down and smiling and saying to her: "Miss Qiao, you are sitting in the wrong position, according to the convention, you should sit on the right hand side of Director Hu." ”

On the right hand side of Director Hu, isn't it Bai Yan's current position?

Qiao Du was stunned for a moment, and remained silent and did not speak.

The host didn't hold the microphone in his hand, but several people in the seat heard it clearly, her white face turned red, and she stood up a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Miss Qiao, you sit here with me." ”

Qiao Du originally wanted to say that there was no need to change, it was really not interesting to change seats, just like a celebrity taking a photo to grab the C position, even if he grabbed the C position without that coffee seat, he would only be ridiculed by the group.

It's better to be more interesting and sit in your seat.

Twilight sat still, and shook her head.

Director Hu also said to Bai Yan next to him: "It's okay, it's just a seat, Bai Yan you sit." ”

With such an obvious maintenance, everyone can see the director's preference for Bai Yan.

Qiao Du sat in his seat, lowered his head and picked up the mineral water and took a sip.

The host is still standing in the posture of bending over next to Qiao Dui, the smile on his face is a little stiff, the hand holding the mobile phone is also a little shaky, and his voice is a little stiff and helpless: "Miss Qiao, please sit down, otherwise I will really not be able to explain." ”

The host insisted again and again, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little bad, and even Bai Yan was even more cramped, he couldn't stand for a while, and he couldn't sit from time to time, and he was embarrassed to be there.

Qiao Du calmed down, glanced thoughtfully at the mobile phone in the host's hand, didn't insist any longer, stood up and changed seats with Bai Yan.

This little episode was all taken into the eyes of reporters, and the following discussion was everywhere.

A few seconds after Qiao Du changed her seat, a figure walked up from the audience.

Director Hu and the main creators saw Su Xuan coming, and quickly got up and moved their seats, Su Xuan glanced at Qiao Du, waved his hand and didn't ask them to give up their seats, and took the initiative to sit down on the empty seat on Jin Shangche's right hand.

The reporters in the audience saw that there was only one Jin Shangche between Su Xuan and Qiao Duan, and they were suddenly thoughtful for a while.

A minute later, the host began to host the press conference in an orderly manner, and soon entered the long-awaited second link, where the reporter asked questions.

The reporters who were still polite in the audience just now couldn't hold it back and raised their hands one after another.

After a while, the host selected a reporter wearing a gray down jacket, only to hear the reporter stand up and ask: "May I ask Director Hu, what is the most dissatisfied with you in the selection of actors in "Yuanhai"? ”

Director Hu was drinking water, put down the mineral water bottle, and said quietly: "There is nothing dissatisfied, everything is good." ”

The reporter in the gray down jacket asked sharply: "But Director Hu, I heard that you have complained to your friends in the circle in private, except for Wu Yi and Bai Yan, you are very dissatisfied with the female number one Qiao Duan, because I heard that she is determined, is there such a thing?" ”

"Without that, I'm very satisfied with all the actors." Director Hu denied it, but when he looked at it up close, his face was a little dark, his tone had not changed, and he took the microphone and said: "Qiao Du just won the Golden Deer Award for Best Actress, and she has a lot of market appeal, and I am very much looking forward to playing the role of Beilei." ”

The reporter in the gray down jacket nodded and sat down.

After listening to such an evaluation, it can be seen that Director Hu said this very cleverly, not mentioning whether she is suitable for the role of Bei Lei, only saying that she has market appeal and avoids the reporter's questions.

"The lady with glasses, please ask questions." The moderator said.

The second female reporter stood up and immediately spoke: "May I ask Qiao Dui, you have never been on the big screen before, have you been under pressure to star in "Yuanhai" this time, and have you considered the box office?" What if the box office is bad? ”

Qiao Du didn't expect her to answer the second question, she took the microphone and said with a light smile: "There must be pressure, in my opinion, there is no motivation without pressure, I personally like the role of Belle, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and at the same time she is a tragic character in the environment of old Shanghai, I will try my best to play her well." As for the box office, I think I'm an actor, and all I have to think about is to play the characters well, and I don't have to worry about the box office. ”

The first half of this answer is very good, and the second half is a bit ...... Wayward.

"Then you really don't care about the box office? You won the Golden Deer Award, but it was in the field of TV dramas, and you are not familiar with the movie at all, will you not adapt to the soil? ”

Qiao Du said directly and unceremoniously: "This reporter friend, I have already answered, I don't worry about the box office at all, thank you!" ”

The reporter who questioned was stunned: "......"

All the reporters were also stunned: "......"

Why is Qiao Duan's temper so big today, she was not pampered and arrogant when she was Fu Jingchao's girlfriend before, why is her temper growing now?

She has no backer behind her, so she is not afraid of offending people?

The next reporter didn't ask Qiao Wei again, and asked Su Xuan: "Ms. Su, what is your original intention in creating this script?" ”

Su Xuan picked up the microphone with a smile, and then heard the reporter ask: "I heard that the only condition for Ms. Su to sign the Han Emperor is that Qiao Du must be the heroine, are you selfish, because Qiao Du is your daughter?" ”

As soon as this question came up, the whole hall fell silent.

Su Xuan took the microphone and said unhurriedly: "I have cooperated with Qiao Duan before, she played Yu Zimeng in the drama "Covering Your Life", Director Deng once told me that Qiao Duan is an excellent actor, if there is a chance, he hopes to invite him to be the heroine in the next drama, I kept it in mind at that time." Later, I created the drama "Yuanhai", which was broadcast on TV when "May Flowers Bloom and Snow in June", and I liked Qiao Dui's appearance and acting skills in the play, and I firmly believed that she was Bei Lei in "Yuanhai". ”

This passage was said reasonably, and the reporter obviously did not let her go, "Ms. Su, you haven't answered my question yet, is Qiao Du your daughter?" It's now very popular on the Internet, saying that she was born from an elopement between you and your teacher back then, is there such a thing? ”

"Nope!" Su Xuan's calm expression cracked.

"Ms. Su, what does it mean to have nothing? Is Qiao Twilight not your daughter, or did you not elope with your teacher and give birth to Qiao Dui? ”

"It's made out of nothing!" Su Xuan suddenly slammed the table and stood up, pointed at the reporter and said loudly, "Which newspaper are you from?" I'm going to sue you! ”

The audience was in an uproar.

Su Xuan's public phenomenon has always been that of an intellectual beauty writer, and today she scolded at the debut film press conference, and her image plummeted, which was shocking.

Su Xuan's agent and assistant hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Su Xuan, and hurriedly explained into the microphone: "I'm sorry, everyone, Su Xuan has postpartum depression, please understand the hard work of an elderly pregnant woman, she is here today, thank you!" ”

As she spoke, there was a loud pitch in the hall, and the reporters were clearly not buying it.

Anyway, Su Xuan was forcibly taken down by the agent and assistant, and all the attention in the hall instantly shifted to Qiao Dui.

Qiao Duan sat still and didn't move, Lu Xiaomeng was anxious in the audience, Sister Shuangshuang was stuck in traffic on the way, and she didn't have a personal consultation, so she simply prepared to rush to the stage and take people away when the reporter pointed the finger at Qiao Dui.

Lu Xiaomeng took a step slower, only to hear that the reporters no longer obeyed the order, and stood up one by one to ask questions without waiting for the host's instructions.

"Qiao Dui, is Su Xuan really your real mother?"

"Qiao Dui, you were born from Su Xuan's elopement with your teacher, what do you think?"

"Su Xuan tried her best to let the heroine play you this time, is it because she feels guilty about you and wants to make up for you?"

“……”

Reporters popped up one by one, and the questions were sharp.

Obviously, today's press conference was led astray by Qiao Dui's life experience.

The host tried to suppress it with a loud voice, but no one listened to him.

Some reporters in the audience unceremoniously rushed forward to take pictures of Qiao Du with their cameras, and some reporters directly grabbed the microphone and asked: "Internet netizens sympathize with Mr. Fu, everyone agrees that he and Fu Jinwei are kept in the dark, may I ask if you and Su Xuan join forces to want the mother and daughter to marry into a wealthy family together?" ”

Qiao Wei didn't want to pay attention to it, she hadn't encountered a situation like today, and the black material that had been surrounding her since last year was constant, but the questions of these reporters were really ugly, and they actually tied her and Su Xuan together and said that she couldn't bear it.

Lu Xiaomeng had already come behind her, bent down and whispered: "Miss Qiao, hurry up and leave, I called Sister Shuangshuang, she is blocking the road, she means that you should go quickly, and you will be blamed on the top, and she will ...... it."

Qiao Du didn't move, she didn't seem to hear what Xiaomeng said, and suddenly picked up the microphone in front of her: "I am me, Su Xuan is Su Xuan, please don't confuse me with her." ”

Su Xuan withdrew halfway, and the reporter was originally spying on Qiao Du with a tentative mentality, seeing Qiao Duan's assistant muttering to her, following the old routine of those celebrities to deal with problems, it was naturally the best policy at this time.

All the reporters didn't have much hope, but they didn't expect Qiao Du to suddenly speak, everyone was in high spirits, and more questions came up.

However, before they could ask, Qiao Duan looked around the hall lightly and said into the microphone: "Today is the scene of the press conference of "Yuanhai", everyone should ask questions related to the movie and ask some non-existent things, is there really professional ethics in this way?" ”

This sentence seems to be ordinary, but it is domineering and leaky, blocking the reporters speechless.

The host moistened his throat and said loudly: "Reporter friends, Miss Qiao is right, today is the press conference of "Yuanhai", everyone can only ask questions related to the movie, there are only ten minutes left, are there any reporter friends to ask?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and after being quiet for a while, a reporter raised his hand to ask the actor Wu Yi, who was introverted and ended without saying a word.

Slowly, the press conference came to an end.

Qiao Du surprised everyone, she didn't leave in a panic like Su Xuan, nor did she wander absent-mindedly, she sat there professionally from beginning to end, staring ahead, as if the previous gossip was really just gossip.

Finally, there was a group photo, and Qiao Dui smiled calmly and calmly, without a trace of discomfort.

The more times like this, the more many people want to see you laugh, the only thing to pay attention to is not to mess up, self-messing is equivalent to giving others the opportunity to laugh at you.

Qiao Du has been silently reciting this in her heart.

The press conference was followed by a start-up ceremony.

At 10:46, everyone gathered in the open field outside the hotel.

The start-up ceremony is very grand, the desk is covered with a red velvet table, and the tributes are neatly placed on it, including roast suckling pig and various fruits, everything looks solemn and solemn.

The main creators stood in order, with the director in the center of the front row, Qiao Duan and Wu Yi on the left and right, and Bai Yan and Jin Shangche in the back row.

Everyone was given two very long and thick incense sticks in their hands, Qiao Du stood quietly with the heavy incense, and Jin Shangche behind him was muttering, "Why haven't you started yet?" ”

Xu had a good impression of him before, and Qiao Duan turned his head and quietly replied to him: "It won't start until eleven o'clock." ”

"Does it have to be eleven o'clock? Not a few minutes earlier? Jin Shangche opened his beautiful eyes and looked at the time in his hand, there were still ten minutes, and pursed his lips.

"Probably not." Qiao Du glanced at the director, but whenever a new film starts, the opening ceremony is the most important, not so much superstition, but the actors respect their profession with respect, have a sense of awe for the new drama that is about to start filming, and also pray for the smooth shooting.

This wait was more than ten minutes, the assistant director ran over and whispered something to Director Hu, Director Hu nodded, turned his head to everyone and said, "Wait a minute." ”

"It's eleven and three o'clock, who are you waiting for? Such a big name? Jin Shangche asked curiously.

Qiao Twilight shook her head.

This drama was filmed by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he is also the one who is waiting for the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, "May Flowers Bloom and Snow in June" is produced by Fu Sichen, and this one is estimated to be him, and I am afraid that he is the one who will be waiting for.

A group of more than ten people stood on the field and waited, although it was a big sun today, the temperature was only three or four degrees, and after a while, everyone was a little unbearable.

Qiao Du put a down jacket over her Western-style skirt in old Shanghai, and she was still shivering a little from the cold.

Lu Xiaomeng saw Bai Yan's assistant come forward to deliver a hand warmer and hot water, she was not far behind, poured hot water and put it in a thermos pot and handed it over: "Miss Qiao drink water." ”

Qiao Du took it and pursed his lips and drank two sips, which was much more comfortable, and returned it to Lu Xiaomeng, and suddenly found that there was a commotion among the staff around him, and they all looked to the right rear.

"The ...... from the Dongcheng Group is here"

"Mom, it's him who is waiting."

"Hey, there seems to be another one who came with him, and that woman is a little familiar."

"You don't even know that woman? The female boss of the Millennium Group is Mr. Fu's girlfriend who has not yet been made public. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be her, Song Xiangwan, a famous female entrepreneur in Licheng, I said how familiar it looks."

"I seem to have heard that there is Song Xiangwan's name among the investors who invested in "Yuanhai" this time, and I dare to love that this is singing with Mr. Fu."

"What do you say they're going to do?"

"What else, as an investor, was invited to participate in the opening ceremony. I'm curious, what will Qiao Twilight do with herself in a while? I think the one who spoiled her very much, it's only been half a year, things are not people......"

"Don't talk about it, people are coming."

There were several discussions in his ears, Qiao Duan didn't look over there, he took the thermos pot from Lu Xiaomeng's hand, opened it and drank several big sips.

Lu Xiaomeng saw that Qiao Du was drinking too quickly, choked and coughed, and didn't know how to persuade him.

When she was hidden in the snow, she looked forward to unsealing every day, but now that she is finally filming, and seeing Mr. Fu and other women showing affection, Miss Qiao's mood is understandable.

The entertainment industry has always been like this, the wind direction changes rapidly, some people have been acting for a lifetime and have never become popular, some people have become popular quickly, self-inflated, and when they are out of breath, their mentality cannot be adjusted, and they have been sluggish since then, and they are not as good as ordinary people.

has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, the key is to have a good mentality, no matter how the wind changes, whether it is high or low, you must always be calm and respond to all changes.

These experiences are summed up by Lu Xiaomeng who has been an actor assistant for so many years, she wants to talk to Miss Qiao, and then think about Miss Qiao's unfazed attitude at the press conference, Miss Qiao, who understands these truths for six years, understands better than anyone else.

The Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, and Miss Qiao is about to turn twenty-three years old, which is different from before.

Qiao Du knew that Lu Xiaomeng was looking at herself, and she also knew what Lu Xiaomeng said, after all, Lu Xiaomeng didn't say anything, she put the thermos pot in Lu Xiaomeng's hand, this time she didn't dodge again, and turned to the right rear in the same direction as everyone's eyes.

The Rolls-Royce pulled up at the entrance of the venue, and a white Ben was parked next to it.

Song Xiangwan got out of the car very early, probably to comply with the theme of the old Shanghai movie "Yuanhai", she wore a retro black silk cheongsam, smooth retro hand-pushed corrugated bangs neatly attached to her forehead, and big red lips, showing the elegance and dignity of that era.

Just when everyone was stunned, a shiny black leather shoe stretched out from the rear door of the Rolls-Royce, followed by a pair of long legs wrapped in suit pants, and then a man's majestic figure, standing in front of everyone.

When Fu Jingchao raised his legs and took a step, the awe-inspiring momentum shocked the audience, and the audience was silent.

It took more than ten seconds before I heard someone whispering.

"They're a good match."

"With a face."

"I suddenly felt that Qiao Duan and Mr. Fu were not as good together as Song Xiangwan and Mr. Fu, this pair had an indescribable aura in their aura."

"Why do you say that Mr. Fu suddenly brought Song Xiangwan to the boot-up ceremony? He's the boss of a large group, so he can not show up at all. ”

"Don't you see that? Song Xiangwan is here, can he not come? ”

"What about Bai Yan?"

"And Jo Twilight......"

Qiao Du felt that there were a lot of eyes around him, and he just wanted to start worshipping and leaving.

Looking at the sun-like men in the crowd from afar, her face was as pale as frost, but she couldn't control her heart as if sinking to the bottom of a cold lake.

Qiao Duan took away the thermos pot in Lu Xiaomeng's hand and drank several large sips of hot water.

There was applause in her ears, and she looked up at the other end of the voice, Fu Jingchao and Song Xiangwan walked straight on the road that everyone automatically gave them up.

Qiao Duan watched Fu Jingchao and Song Xiangwan enjoying the same treatment as emperors and empresses, and there was a nameless fire in her heart, wanting to show off outside, what kind of affection and neurosis she ran here!

A large group of people are standing in the cold wind waiting for the two of you, and if there is anything to show off, they will not be too embarrassed.

Fu Jingchao and Song Xiangwan walked to the front row, and stopped in front of Director Hu on Qiao Dui's left, Fu Jingchao was very close to Qiao Duan, only half a step away, his eyes first swept over Qiao Dui's face, and stayed for about five or six seconds before he lifted his eyes and said to Hu Dao casually: "Sorry, it's late." ”
