Feng Qing just arrived at the set, got out of the car with her head lowered, and wrapped herself in a thick coat and hat so that her face could not be seen.
The filming location was relatively remote, and there were no famous stars. She was fully armed, but the paparazzi reporters were like dogs smelling the scent of meat, and they immediately caught up with her with their cameras.
"Feng Qing! Did you join any other agency after Huancheng Entertainment terminated your contract? How did you get this drama? Are you the heroine?"
"Can you talk about your feelings now? You have repeated Zhong Jiuyin's situation. Do you feel her discomfort? What do you want to say to Zhong Jiuyin back then?"
"If you had known this would happen, would you have targeted her like that?"
"The variety show that Zhong Jiuyin participated in a few days ago was broadcast, and his fame has reached a higher level. Have you watched that show?"
Compared with the soft-spoken manner of the host during interviews in the past, these entertainment reporters were like low-level students who had learned nothing. Their questioning tone was harsh and harsh, and they did not respect her at all.
Feng Qing lowered her head and hurried forward with an ugly expression.
But those people were like blood-sucking leech, chasing her closely. Among them was a female entertainment reporter who kept mentioning Zhong Jiuyin's recent good news.
What popular programs did Zhong Jiuyin participate in, what interviews she accepted, what magazines she appeared in, and what great dramas she was exposed to? Those things that she didn’t want to know and deliberately didn’t want to understand were forcefully stuffed into her ears.
On one side is Zhong Jiuyin's bright future of becoming famous and popular, and on the other side is the terrifying current situation where she has fallen to the bottom due to her own fault. Those voices are like dull knives, scraping across her skin.
The air became suffocating.
I wonder if Zhong Jiuyin felt the same way when she was in the rental house and listened to Guo Mingli emphasizing her successful career, as if she was holding her breath in water.
Feng Qing couldn't bear it anymore, so she pushed away the people who came after her to grab her clothes, and quickened her pace again, almost running, and ran into the set.
The entertainment reporters couldn't get in, but they still gathered around outside and took pictures. The sound of the flash made her heart tighten.
After entering the changing room, she was finally able to take a breath, stiffly twitching the corners of her mouth to say hello to those who looked at her.
She doesn't have a single dressing room.
Walking to her makeup station and sitting down, Feng Qing glanced at the others through the mirror in a vague way. Several people gathered together and talked quietly, wondering if they were discussing and mocking her.
The attitude of the crew towards her was average, and only a few would please her because they wanted something from the people behind her.
But in fact, she believed that this matter would not be that serious at all normally.
Bullying in the entertainment industry has been around for a long time. What does it mean to rob people of resources and suppress them? There are celebrities in Hong Kong entertainment who were persecuted to the point of jumping off the building in their agency. The instigators are still filming and appearing in magazines. After a few years, they are out of the limelight, and they can still be punished.
The younger generation calls him brother with respect.
And the reason why she is so miserable is because the powerful person is not her, but Yan Cheng who is standing behind Zhong Jiuyin.
Whichever side has the most powerful connections will win.
But now, just because Yan Cheng has a high status, because Zhong Jiuyin is so popular, and because she has been accused of "instigating Guo Mingli pua Zhong Jiuyin to commit suicide", no one dares to get close to her.
As long as someone openly chats and laughs with her, they will be photographed by the paparazzi reporters in the blink of an eye, and they will post a weird and sinister announcement on the Internet saying "xxx is still on good terms with Feng Qing", and then a large number of netizens will come to criticize her.
Thinking of this, Feng Qing looked at herself in the mirror, her expression a little distorted.
The makeup artist was helping her cover the dullness under her eye circles, using a variety of cosmetics. It seemed like she couldn't go out to meet people without covering up her face with a bit of powder.
It is true that beauty nourishes people, and she is a negative example now.
Feng Qing took deep breaths again and again to calm down her emotions, then picked up the script and read it.
She doesn't have many opportunities. Recently, she still wants to stay away from the limelight and wait a little longer.
Time will wash away everything and everything will get better, she kept telling herself.
But when she finished putting on makeup and getting ready to shoot, the director called her aside and told her that the scene couldn't be filmed.
"Can't shoot? What do you mean?" Feng Qing's voice was a little sharp.
The director's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Another investor has withdrawn his investment, and the male lead who was promoted doesn't want to continue filming. We can't continue filming with the remaining money, unless... you don't want the salary, or you ask Mr. Hu to add additional funds."
"Are you kidding me?!"
Don’t want the pay? She’s here just for the pay!
She still owes money to Huancheng Entertainment. Even if she wants to file a lawsuit to reduce the breach of contract fees, she still has to have money to hire a lawyer, so she came to film this useless web drama!
As for asking Hu Xuebin to invest more? She knew it well. When she first approached him, she didn't dare to say that she would exchange herself for a sum of money, but for an opportunity to persist in the entertainment industry. Now she wants him to add hundreds of millions more. He
He will only warn her to lose face.
Neither method worked, so Feng Qing gritted her teeth and asked, "Is there no other way? We don't have much left to play, so I think it's okay to save a little bit, right?"
The director remained unmoved: "How can I save money? I film to make money. Now that I have no money to continue filming, do you want me to pay back?"
"It's not impossible to repost, as long as I can see the hope that this drama will make money and the audience will buy it after it is broadcast. But do you think there is hope?"
While talking, his eyes swept over her body, clearly indicating that as long as she was in this dispute, no audience would buy it.
The producer also made an insinuation by saying: "There is a lot of competition online, so there is no guarantee whether it will pass the review."
Feng Qing was so angry that her face was livid, partly because of their words, and partly because of the familiarity of this matter.
She felt that this was not a matter of lack of funds at all, but Zhong Jiuyin's revenge.
Probably the year before last, under the deliberate manipulation of her and Guo Mingli, Zhong Jiuyin was told to interrupt filming in this way.
According to Guo Mingli, Zhong Jiuyin was originally very happy and energetic every day, but when he was informed in the middle of the filming that the investors had withdrawn their capital and could not continue filming, he froze in place for half an hour, his legs were stiff, and then he packed up his things.
He left the set overnight.
Because I was treated like this before, so now that I am proud, I want to take revenge on her one by one? Do I want her to feel the feeling of being driven crazy?
Her whole body was flushed with anger. The director did not see her reply and waved his hand impatiently: "Anyway, I have informed you of the matter. Get ready to leave. We also have to..."
"Is it Zhong Jiuyin's fault? Or is it Yan Cheng?" Feng Qing stared at the director closely and asked gloomily.
The director frowned and looked at her up and down, and sneered: "Are you feeling uneasy after doing something bad? You can blame everything on others for being suspicious. Zhong Jiuyin is very popular now. It's too late to make money and fall in love. Still have time to 'take care' of you?"
They denied it, but Feng Qing was determined that it was Zhong Jiuyin who was responsible. She took off the hair accessories from her head and threw them on the ground. She turned around and left regardless of their scoldings.
