Tang Rou wanted to joke a few more words, but found that Zhao Dong's expression was wrong.
She kicked her toes under the table, "Hey, Zhao Dong, are you okay?"
Zhao Dong said nothing and put the information away again, "That's it for today. I have some things to deal with. I'm leaving first. I'll treat you to this meal!"
As he spoke, he took out the money and threw it on the table.
Tang Rou ignored it and hurriedly grabbed her handbag and chased him out.
I don't know why, although Zhao Dong acted very calm just now, she felt vaguely uneasy.
It's like there's a storm brewing beneath the calm!
Outside the door, Tang Rou ran a few steps and finally grabbed the person, "Zhao Dong..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed something was wrong with Zhao Dong's eyes.
She said cautiously: "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
Zhao Dong explained: "It's okay."
Tang Rou was still worried, "Zhao Dong, you must tell me if something happens, we are friends!"
Seeing Tang Rou's seriousness, Zhao Dong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, "Don't worry, even if there is really trouble, I will definitely not be polite to you."
"Drive slowly when you go back, I'm leaving first!"
Tang Rou stared at Zhao Dong's back and wanted to say something, but she held back her words again, leaving only deep worry.
…
On the other side, Meng Jiao was attending a formal dinner.
The cast of "The God" has finished casting, and a press conference was held in the morning, as well as a start-up ceremony.
The public opinion and news on the Internet were overwhelming, and even the major media in Tianzhou also carried out follow-up reports.
Although Tianzhou Film and Television City is known as one of the "four major film and television bases" in China, it ranks at the bottom because no good works have been released in recent years.
Fortunately, two major dramas have been released in succession this year, especially "The God", which was personally directed by a domestic first-line director.
Therefore, it has already gained a lot of attention even before it was launched. Even the relevant departments in the city and the Film and Television Association have given great support.
In the evening, all the main creators of the play, relevant leaders of the city, investors of the play, including the main actors, all attended the banquet.
At the red carpet ceremony.
According to the order of status, the guests entered the venue one after another.
Under the spotlight of reporters from all walks of life, a group of beauties used their own methods, some dressed sexyly, and some acted posing, with only one purpose, to gain media exposure!
Among the crowd, Meng Jiao was the only exception.
She changed direction and was about to enter through the back door.
Xiao Ming stepped forward and stopped the person, "Miss Meng!"
Meng Jiao turned around in surprise, "Assistant Xiao, do you have a problem with me?"
Xiao Ming pointed, "Why don't you go to the red carpet ceremony?"
Meng Jiao smiled and said, "I don't really like that kind of occasion."
To be honest, once you decide to join the entertainment industry, media exposure will determine your stardom.
Meng Jiao is naturally no exception.
However, tonight the beauties from all walks of life competed for beauty and almost tried their best.
Not to mention the leading actors, even the traffic stars who are supporting roles are carefully prepared and dressed up in all their glory.
Not to mention the jewelry, all the clothes on my body are sponsored by international famous brands.
Meng Jiao was a bit embarrassed, as her entire family fortune had long been confiscated by the court.
The only funds on hand must be used to maintain her mother's condition.
In addition, one has no connections and the other has no resources.
The dress looks glamorous, but it is just a performance costume rented from a domestic third-tier brand agent.
As for jewelry, they are all handicrafts made of glass.
To put it bluntly, she is now a paper tiger and will be broken if she is poked.
It looks okay from a distance, and can barely scare people.
If you look closely, there is a high probability that a flaw will be discovered!
In such a predicament, how could Meng Jiao dare to participate in such a red carpet event under the spotlight?
The result was not what I expected, whatever I was afraid of would come to pass.
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "I didn't bring a female companion today. Can you please Miss Meng to show off your pleasure? Accompany me to enter the venue?"
As he said that, he handed over his palm in a gentlemanly manner.
Meng Jiao hesitated for a moment.
She doesn't dislike Xiao Ming.
On the contrary, this man's politeness left a deep impression on her.
What's more, Meng Jiao had no reason to refuse.
Almost forcefully, she slowly put her palm up!
The flash turned and the two people slowly entered the stage.
Meng Jiao was a little worried.
Xiao Ming patted the back of her hand and signaled: "Don't be nervous, believe in yourself, relax!"
Meng Jiao looked at Xiao Ming gratefully, her confidence slowly returning.
She is an extremely outstanding woman. Her temperament, charm, and aura are all far superior to others.
Coupled with Xiao Ming's foil, the two of them immediately became the focus of the audience as soon as they appeared on the stage!
Some reporters were talking, "Look, Xiao Ming!"
"Who is the woman next to him? Why haven't I seen her before? She has a pretty good temperament. Is she from the industry?"
Someone explained: "I heard that the second female lead in the play was personally selected by Director Sun. She is a newcomer with some qualifications!"
Sign autographs and take photos.
From time to time, reporters below shouted: "Look here, look here!"
Soon, a reporter asked, "Director Xiao, I heard that you will personally direct a romance film by the end of the year."
"So, can you reveal something in advance about this new movie that is about to be shot?"
Other reporters also asked questions, all focusing on this topic.
Xiao Ming responded politely, "I'm sorry, my main focus is on this drama at the moment, and I have no plans to film a new drama at the moment."
When the reporters couldn't get anything out of the question, they turned their attention to Meng Jiao and said, "Ms. Meng, I heard that this is your first time participating in the filming of a drama after graduating from Chinese Opera."
"So, what do you want to say about this role?"
"Ms. Meng, I heard that Director Sun discovered you during an audition for extras. What do you think of this?"
"Ms. Meng, what is your relationship with Director Xiao?"
Meng Jiao gradually felt the pressure. She never expected that the reporters would focus their firepower as soon as she entered the venue.
Especially these questions were so difficult and sharp that she didn't even know how to answer them.
It seems that as long as you open your mouth, someone will grab the topic!
Xiao Ming came to the rescue at the critical moment, "I'm sorry, I can't comment on the relevant details of the movie and it's inconvenient to reveal them at the moment. You can pay attention to our official account and official Weibo!"
…
On the other side, several traffic buddies who had lost their cameras were discussing, "Really, she is dressed like a country bumpkin. How did a woman like this get the appreciation of Director Sun?"
"That's right, looking at the clothes she was wearing, I couldn't recognize them for a long time. I guess they are knock-offs."
"Also, the jewelry is so exaggerated, I don't know if it is real or fake!"
Someone joked: "Another vixen, haven't you noticed yet? He must have used his tricks on Director Xiao."
"Otherwise, how could a woman like her get such an important role?"
Someone broke the news, "Hey, I heard that this woman used to be a musician."
"I signed a contract with a small studio, and I'm not very famous. I've been singing in bars!"
"I really don't know why she suddenly crossed the line?"
Meng Jiao didn't want to be the center of attention.
In the midst of the discussion, before she could leave, someone behind her suddenly said, "Miss Meng, long time no see!"
