Chapter 44: A Tooth for a Tooth
Qiao Ran walked in front of Chen Xi, a pair of soft eyes suddenly shot out two fine lights, and before Chen Xi could react, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Chen Xi in the face.
The sound of "pop" is extremely crisp.
"You-" Chen Xi's eyes widened, and he looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.
Not only Chen Xi, but even everyone else on the set was stunned.
An actor in a trick actually beats people in front of everyone?!
"Miss Chen, that slap just now, if you hit it like this, maybe it will pass." Qiao Ran narrowed her eyes, and her voice was cold and deep.
Chen Xi probably felt that she had no backing, so even if she was bullied, she didn't dare to fight back.
But Chen Xi was wrong, she was never a person who could suffer dumb losses.
Otherwise, how could she have lived to be so big?
A child who grew up in a single-parent family, Qiao Pingping often goes to Fengyue places, dressed exaggeratedly, if she was really so honest, she would have been torn apart by others.
Since his debut, Chen Xi has never suffered such a big grievance. Being slapped in front of so many people? How could she afford it?
Her eyes were red, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears, and finally, she stomped her feet and shouted, "Director! I'm not acting! ”
Someone next to him also whispered: "Wasn't this Qiao Ran recommended by Chen Xi?" How did it come to this? ”
"Who knows?"
"But she also has so much guts, it's just a trick, and she dares to offend Chen Xi."
"If you want me to see it, it's not necessarily that I'm being forced to be in a hurry. Look at Chen Xi's scene just now, no matter how I look at it, it looks like it was deliberate, and I proposed to really fight ......"
"Anyway, she's just a little trick, and if she does this today, you're not afraid of ruining her future?"
These people are talking, and the director is thinking.
Although Chen Xi's play is not particularly good, it is rare for him to make mistakes one after another, and as a director, as long as the scene is filmed, nothing else is a problem, so what's wrong with Chen Xi being a little wronged?
It's just that before his words were spoken, a voice came from the crowd: "Who said that he couldn't act?" ”
This is a woman's voice, although it sounds thin, but it has its own aura.
The crowd of onlookers and the staff immediately automatically parted on both sides to make way for them.
Pei Xianglin stepped on high heels and walked to Chen Xi along the way that others gave her, "You said you won't act?" ”
This crew was invested by Pei's in order to open up the market, and Pei Xianglin is also the boss, seeing her at this moment, Chen Xi's momentum immediately weakened, and his speech was not as straightforward as just now, "Pei ...... Miss Pei......"
In this case, Jason still has to play.
He has been Yan Ran's agent for so many years, and it is not difficult to deal with this kind of thing, so he immediately said: "Miss Pei, you don't know what happened. Originally, our family Xiaoxi didn't want to promote her because of this actor, but I didn't expect her to hit Xiaoxi in front of so many people, you say it's ......"
Qiao Ran glanced at Jason.
It's really sharp-tongued, and in a few words, he put all the responsibility on her, why didn't she say that Chen Xi deliberately beat her before?
However, now is clearly not the time to reason with Jason.
Last time at the banquet, what happened between Qiao Ran and Pei Xianglin, she didn't forget, now that she has fallen into Pei Xianglin's hands, will Pei Xianglin let her go?
"This kind of actor, what are you doing with it?" Sure enough, Pei Xianglin glanced at Qiao Ran, her eyes were very disdainful, "Cancel the contract." ”
The assistant director immediately said: "Miss Pei, she is just a stand-in now, and she usually plays tricks......"
"That's easier, get out." Pei Xianglin spoke up without waiting for the assistant director to speak.
Thinking of what Xie Ruiyu told him at school, Qiao Ran didn't want to argue with her, so she thought about changing her clothes and leaving.
But she had just lifted her feet when another person came on the set, "She doesn't have to go." ”
Hearing this voice, Pei Xianglin frowned, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw that Pei Hao didn't know when he had come over.
Pei Xianglin's hand clenched a little tighter and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"I said, she doesn't have to go." Pei Hao protected Qiao Ran behind him, and his eyes fell on Pei Xianglin's face, "Xianglin, there is a little situation on the set, this kind of thing is very common, you don't have to be so angry." ”
After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, took a step closer to Pei Xianglin, lowered his voice and said, "Or, what is the festival between you and Qiao Ran, so you make a big fuss?" ”
"...... you" Pei Xianglin's face changed with anger, and her eyes seemed to be on fire, "Pei Hao, do you want to protect her?" ”
Pei Hao smiled, "So what?" ”
Pei Xianglin's eyes swept up and down on him, and finally sneered, "It's up to you?" What do you think you are? Do you really think of yourself as the Pei family? ”
"Whether I am from the Pei family or not, this is my grandfather's final say." Pei Hao didn't take Pei Xianglin's contempt to heart, but said coldly, "Besides, if this matter reaches my grandfather's ears, what do you think he will do?" ”
Pei Xianglin bit her lip and was silent.
The last time she was in the banquet hall, she still remembers it vividly.
Twenty years of guilt made Pei Lao love Qiao Ran very much, last time he actually announced Qiao Ran's identity in front of so many people, without even asking for verification, if this matter was really known by Pei Lao, I am afraid I would not be able to please anything.
Pei Hao waited for a while, and saw that Pei Xianglin didn't speak, but his face turned blue and white for a while, and his tone was a little more relaxed, "As long as you don't deliberately ask Qiao Ran for trouble, my grandfather won't know about this matter." Xianglin, you are a smart person, you know what to do. ”
Pei Xianglin looked at Pei Hao, and Pei Hao also looked at her.
Obviously, no one spoke again, but it made the onlookers feel a tense momentum.
In the end, Pei Xianglin shook her hand and turned around angrily.
Chen Xi was also stunned, what was going on? Isn't Qiao Ran just a trick actor? Isn't there no background? Why did you still alarm the Pei family's cousin?
She was still here, but Pei Hao had already turned her head to look at her, "Miss Chen, if you don't want to act, we will terminate the contract, and I won't embarrass you." ”
"I ......" Chen Xi opened his mouth, but except for the word "I", he couldn't say anything else.
What can she say? The reason why she said that just now was just to put pressure on the crew and embarrass Qiao Ran, who knew it would develop like this?
This is the first TV series filmed by the Pei family, the Pei family wants to rely on this drama to enter the entertainment industry, if they offend the Pei family like this, then I am afraid the road will not be easy.
However, fortunately, when she hadn't spoken yet, Qiao Ran spoke up first: "No need, I'll go." ”
As she spoke, Qiao Ran had already removed the hair ornament on her head and handed it to the stylist, and then began to take off her complicated robe.
Pei Hao's eyebrows furrowed, "Qiao Ran......"
"I didn't know this was a drama invested by the Pei family." After taking off his clothes, only his own clothes were left, Qiao Ran looked up at Pei Hao again, "If I knew, I wouldn't come." ”
After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back.
Now the people around are even more confused.
What's the situation?
Do you want to shoot a scene?
And she didn't shoot when the Pei family helped her, and she still threw her face at the Pei family's cousin in front of so many people?
I'm afraid this trick is not simple!
Out of the crew, Qiao Ran walked on the road alone, and suddenly felt depressed.
Pei Xianglin's eyes, Pei Hao's maintenance, and every scene flashed in her mind.
She didn't understand, good and decent, why did these things happen? She used to be a role actress, although it wasn't very smooth, but she was much happier than now, and there was no such mess.
Also, didn't Chu Junbei say that he was at Cha Pei's house? When will I find out?
She was thinking so in her head, and when she reacted, she had already taken out her mobile phone and dialed Chu Junbei's number.
The phone was quickly connected, and Chu Junbei's deep voice crawled into Qiao Ran's ears along the current, crispy and itchy: "Why did you suddenly remember to call me?" ”
Qiao Ran pursed her lips, "I want to find a place to stay for a while." Where are you? ”
She didn't ask the other party for inconvenience, and directly asked the other party's address.
"In the company." After a pause, Chu Junbei asked, "Do you want me to have someone come over to pick you up?" ”
That's to agree with her past?
Qiao Ran suddenly became energetic, stopped a taxi, opened the door of the back seat and sat down, "No need, I'll just go over by myself." ”
After asking the master, she said to Chu Junbei, "I should be able to arrive in twenty minutes." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
Hanging up the phone, Qiao Ran looked at the mobile phone in his palm in a daze.
How...... Just call Chu Junbei? Obviously, the two of them quarreled last time.
Although, it was her unilateral quarrel.
Although Qiao Ran had been to the Chu family before, she had never been to Chu Junbei's office, so when she arrived downstairs at the Chu family, she originally wanted to find someone to inquire.
But as soon as she entered, a man nodded at her, "Miss Qiao, please come with me." ”
Qiao Ran was stunned, and after a closer look, she found that this person was Chu Junbei's secretary, surnamed Zhang.
"Secretary Zhang, why are you here?" Qiao Ran was a little reluctant, "If you have something to do, go and get busy, I'll just go up myself." ”
Secretary Zhang shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Chu specially asked me to wait for you here." ”
Qiao Ran shut up, craned her neck to look at the man walking in front, and after a while, she asked as if verifying: "Mr. Chu...... Specially asked you to wait for me? ”
"yes." Secretary Zhang smiled kindly, "If Miss Qiao doesn't believe it, you can ask Mr. Chu in person for a while." ”
Qiao Ran stopped talking.
She believed.
In short, don't ask Chu Junbei.
sent Qiao Ran to the door of Chu Junbei's office, Secretary Zhang helped her open the door, and retreated respectfully.
Chu Junbei was talking to someone about things, looking like a partner, and when he saw Qiao Ran coming, he didn't say anything, just pointed to the single sofa next to him, motioned for her to sit by herself, and continued to talk about the project with the other party quietly on his face.
