Chapter 369: Xiao Zhao is about to enter
Jiang Yiyan was communicating with two makeup artists because the heroine she was playing today was going to take off her makeup and become a rural teacher, so her outfit had to be clearly different from her previous ones.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed that one of the makeup artists was looking behind her. She turned around subconsciously and saw a girl who looked familiar.
"Sister Yiyan, hello!"
Their eyes met, and Zhao Liying, holding the script and costume, immediately bowed deeply. Her movement was so big that her ponytail almost flew to her forehead.
Although Jiang Yiyan felt that Xiao Zhao looked familiar, she did not recognize her, so she just asked indifferently: "Is there anything important?"
The implication is that if it's nothing urgent, just get out of here quickly.
Although this attitude is cold, it is considered relatively friendly among the popular young stars.
Zhao Liying's nervousness was half real and half fake. Seeing Jiang Yiyan's aloof attitude, she quickly introduced herself and said, "Sister Yiyan, my name is Zhao Liying, and I was the champion of last year's 'Yahoo Star Search' director Xu Kun's team!"
"Oh~"
Jiang Yiyan suddenly realized and blurted out, "I remember now, your father is a policeman just like Yang Mi's father."
What kind of weird memory is this?
In addition...
Who is Yang Mi?
Zhao Liying secretly complained in her heart, but she looked proud: "Yes, yes, Sister Yiyan, you have a really good memory!"
"Haha~"
Jiang Yiyan has been very popular for more than a year, and she is no longer a rookie who gets carried away by just a few compliments. After hearing what Zhao Liying said, she just smiled and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm here to play a minor role in our crew."
Zhao Liying complained pitifully, "I play a ceremony host with a long line of lines. I just got the script, but I only have one hour to prepare, including memorizing the lines and putting on makeup."
Jiang Yiyan didn't find it strange, because Tong Dawei was in a hurry to finish filming and join the "Apple" crew. The rhythm of the crew was a bit chaotic in the past two days, so this situation was inevitable.
What puzzled her was: "You are a talent show champion, how come you are still playing supporting roles after a year?"
Zhao Liying was speechless and could only hug her costume tightly in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Jiang Yiyan asked again tentatively: "Didn't you also join Huayi? Didn't Huayi arrange any resources for you? Didn't you ask Brother Kun or Director Feng for help?"
Zhao Liying didn't dare to say that she had looked for it.
Otherwise, if she told everyone about the several coincidences, Jiang Yiyan would probably suspect that Director Xu was deliberately avoiding her - she herself had actually speculated in this regard, so she didn't dare to contact Xu Kun again.
But she couldn't say she hadn't looked for it.
Otherwise, when Jiang Yiyan talks to Director Xu later, wouldn't it prove that she has been lying all the time?
So Zhao Liying could only put on an even more embarrassed and confused expression and let Jiang Yiyan make her own judgment.
Jiang Yiyan felt that they had never been in contact.
Because Xu Kun obviously cared more about Zhao Liying, who came from a grassroots background, than other contestants. If Zhao Liying came to Brother Kun for help, Brother Kun would always help her more or less.
In other words, this girl is so stupid that she hasn't learned how to make connections even after a year in the industry.
Should we say she is stupid or pure?
"Show me the script."
Jiang Yiyan stretched out her hand towards Zhao Liying. After all, she had a close relationship with Brother Kun, and he asked her for help in public, so she would not be stingy in helping if she could.
Zhao Liying was overjoyed and quickly handed over the script. Jiang Yiyan glanced at it and nodded, "This section of dialogue is indeed a bit long."
As he was speaking, Tong Dawei walked in from outside.
Seeing this, Tang Yan was about to stand up from the dressing table. Tong Dawei quickly held out his hand and said, "Xiao Tang, you do yours. We can just practice acting first."
As he said this, he took the initiative to move a chair and sat two meters away from Tang Yan.
This is because he himself is a humble person, and secondly, it is also to give face to Jiang Yiyan and Xu Kun behind Jiang.
Although the things Wen Zhang did in "Struggle" were out of brotherhood, he was actually putting Tong Dawei in trouble. If possible, Tong Dawei didn't want to conflict with Xu Kun, who was at the peak of his career.
At this time, Jiang Yiyan waved the script towards Tong Dawei and said, "Brother Tong, the words for the celebration host are a bit long. I'm afraid the new actor won't be able to memorize them for a while. Why don't we move them to the back to give her more time?"
Upon hearing this, Tong Dawei asked for the script again, glanced through it briefly, and explained: "This segment should be used as a voiceover. At most, there are two shots at the beginning and the end, so even if there are some minor problems, it won't be a problem - but since you said so, let's move it to the back."
Both of them are popular stars now, and even the director has to give some face to them for things they decide together, let alone such a trivial matter.
When Zhao Liying heard this, she was not happy at all. It felt like she had put in so much effort, but in the end, only two short shots were left.
However, after she took the script, she still thanked the two of them profusely, especially Jiang Yiyan, whom she was extremely respectful to.
This also made Jiang Yiyan feel that she should cherish talent.
Although her Nan Tianmen is short of people, she doesn't accept everyone. Although Zhao Liying lacks a bit of stunningness, she is the champion of the talent show after all, who advanced from Brother Kun.
Moreover, a grassroots background is naturally a plus for Kun Ge and Bao Qiang.
Plus some pure or stupid characters...
When Zhao Liying came to say goodbye to her after she finished filming at noon, she left Zhao Liying's contact information, planning to inspect her after a while and then bring Zhao in.
Tang Yan saw this scene and kept it in mind.
Since she had been following Jiang Yiyan, she had already hooked up with two second-female leads and one third-female lead. She was considered to be quite outstanding among her classmates, but she was no match for the two or three who were the most successful.
For example, Wen Zhang, Bai Baihe...
So Tang Yan has been looking for an opportunity to take the lead alone, but before he could make any progress, Yang Mi, who pretended to be a "veteran", jumped out and tried to step on him everywhere.
The two sides fought openly and secretly for several times, and Yang Mi finally calmed down a bit, but then Zhao Liying popped up.
Judging from Jiang Yiyan's intention, it is obvious that she wants to get Zhao Liying to join the group. Wouldn't there be even less resources to share then?
With this uneasiness in mind, Tang Yan followed Jiang Yiyan to Xu Kun's house that night.
After entering the room, Jiang Yiyan found Qin Lan was also present. She immediately thought about it and determined that she was the one who gave in last time, and this time it was Qin Lan's turn. She immediately approached Xu Kun with confidence.
This was the tacit understanding she and Qin Lan had reached recently. If the two sides bumped into each other, they would take turns to retreat.
In fact, Jiang Yiyan was quite dissatisfied with this. After all, she seldom had Kun brother to herself recently, and always shared him with her sisters.
Only Qin Lan...
hum~
I am a virgin, but I am not so pretentious!
When she got close to Xu Kun, she saw a script spread out on the table. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Kun, has the script for Operation Kunpeng been written?"
"What are you thinking about? Lan Xiaolong is still in Thailand." Xu Kun closed the script and showed the title: "It's a new script by Tangren, or it would be more appropriate to say it's a sequel to an old play."
Jiang Yiyan looked down and saw five big characters written on the cover: "Strange Women from Liao Zhai".
