Chapter 143 How long will we continue like this?
"Hey, it's so late and you're still awake."
Li Yiming passed by Jiang Ning's room and saw that the light was still on in her room and the door was not even closed. Thinking that there were still some things that had not been arranged today, he wanted to come in and discuss it with Jiang Ning.
Hearing his voice, Jiang Ning didn't even raise his head and just said:
"Brother, you are here."
Li Yiming stood leaning against the door frame and did not go in.
"Well, I didn't explain it clearly in front of so many outsiders during the day, so I came again."
"Oh. Then go ahead."
Jiang Ning was lying on her side on the bed with her lower body wrapped in the quilt. She was leaning against the pillow at the head of the bed and playing with her mobile phone. There was a puppy curled up in her arms and sleeping.
Li Yiming didn't say anything else, just expressed his concerns:
"You should have seen the contract. Anyway, they told me that it has been sent to your phone. You should think about it carefully. This path is very risky. If you are not careful, it is easy to fail. Then everyone's reputation will be damaged..."
But it was obvious that Jiang Ning didn't hear almost a word and was still lying on the bed, grinning foolishly.
Li Yiming changed his posture somewhat awkwardly and questioned Jiang Ning:
"No, did you hear me? I am thinking about you after all. I just want you to be more cautious on this road."
But Jiang Ning just kept looking at his phone, his fingers moving rapidly on the keyboard.
In the face of Li Yiming's questioning, Jiang Ning didn't hear it at all, and even held the mobile phone in front of Li Yiming for him to see.
"Brother, do you think this photo is really well taken?"
Li Yiming moved his face closer. The photo was probably taken this afternoon. They were still wearing the same clothes as in the drama.
But he looked at it again and again but couldn't figure out what it was.
Asked doubtfully:
"What can you tell from this? It's amazing that fans like this can get so excited."
Jiang Ning took the phone back in annoyance, rolled his eyes at him, and said:
"Oh, you don't understand. This is called atmosphere."
Li Yiming smiled:
"Yes, I don't understand. I don't understand the trends of you new generation people. So from what you mean, just continue to follow what the Universal Unity Studio says?"
Jiang Ning was fiddling with her cell phone. Perhaps because she had moved so violently when she stood up just now, she had woken up the puppy, which had been running around on her bed.
It made noises as it ran, as if it were really a puppy toy.
Zhang Yue sent a message on the other side of the phone:
"How long are we going to keep doing this? Until the end of the show, or until when? Are we going to keep pretending for the rest of our lives?"
Jiang Ning's heart subconsciously tightened. She was even a little afraid that Zhang Yue would ask her this question because she didn't know how to answer it.
She casually stroked the little yellow dog beside her, and the furry feeling was indeed very relaxing.
Looking at the person still standing in front of her, she decided to deal with this person first, so she said to Li Yiming:
"Do we have any other options now? If not, let's just follow what they said for now. After all, something is better than nothing."
Li Yiming crossed his arms, nodded, and said affirmatively:
"Okay, I'll listen to you. You performed really well today. A lot of people came to ask me what our relationship is. But don't worry, I haven't told you. So how long are you going to keep doing this? Are you going to keep it a secret forever?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue that hit her mind.
Jiang Ning had no idea why these two people would ask the same question, and she also didn't know how to answer.
She looked embarrassed. Seeing the ugly expression on her face, Li Yiming had the answer in his mind and didn't say anything else.
"Go to bed early. You still have to shoot tomorrow. Don't read the script too late. Good night."
Li Yiming left quietly and closed the door when he left.
The room was finally quiet for a while. Jiang Ning looked at the bedside and saw a sleeping drink that her aunt had specially prepared for her.
She picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. It tasted sweet, with the aroma of milk in her mouth.
It was last night that she told her aunt that she couldn’t sleep. She didn’t expect that her aunt still remembered it.
To be honest, it feels really good to be remembered by others.
Jiang Ning opened his mobile email, but the content of the contract sent by Wanxiangheyi Studio suddenly became very long, more than ten times longer than the last time.
She smiled bitterly and sent the screenshot of what she saw to Zhang Yue.
Finally, we found a topic that both parties could discuss.
"Do you know they wrote so much? What if I don't live to see that day? Wouldn't it be a waste of their writing? Hahaha."
The phone showed that the other party was typing, and Jiang Ning was looking forward to what Zhang Yue would say about the matter.
However, it seemed difficult for the other party to say this. Jiang Ning waited for a long time but did not get a reply.
She thought that the other party might have written a short essay for her or something similar, which required so much effort.
After a long while, a small line of words appeared on the phone:
"I knew they would write a lot, but I didn't expect there would be so many. I can only say I will do my best."
Then he added as if he suddenly thought of something:
"And how can you say that about yourself? You need to live well and live a long life. I still want to play with you."
Jiang Ning was already a little impatient, but was warmed by Zhang Yue's sudden concern.
My heart warmed, and I asked her:
"Do you really think so? No one has ever spoken to me like that before, and I just thought they were flattering me when they did."
"Of course! I had a lot of fun playing with you. I also want to go traveling with you after the filming is finished."
Jiang Ning was obviously very emotional and punched into the soft blanket.
She also wanted to tell Zhang Yue how she felt right now, and she made a mistake while typing on the keyboard:
"Why didn't you tell me why earlier? I really like being with you!"
"Haha, I was afraid that you would think that this was all arranged by my company, so I never mentioned it to you. But if you think so, then I'm relieved."
Zhang Yue answered this question affirmatively, and Jiang Ning felt much more at ease.
If you look more carefully, you will see that the email contains detailed contract contents.
But there is nothing wrong with that. Occasionally there are a few scenes with a bit of a larger scale, but that is within the acceptable range for Jiang Ning.
"Article 1: Both parties must sign a secret contract again, and the audience must not be informed in any way. Otherwise, Wanxiang Heyi Studio has the right to unilaterally refuse to execute the contract, hereinafter referred to as 'our company'."
"Article 2: You must participate in exclusive personal variety shows and film and television cultural and creative adaptation projects in accordance with our company's regulations, and you must not disobey them."
"Article 3: Our company has the right to plan the shape and itinerary of the processing during the contract period."
The rest of the content is vast and detailed, even down to a single hair on Jiang Ning's styling.
By the time she finished watching all this, it was already past two in the morning.
Thinking that he had to film tomorrow, Jiang Ning immediately got out of bed, turned off the lights, and hurried to sleep.
And she still remembered what the director told her, that she had a scene with Liu Ziyi tomorrow, so she had to go to bed early and stay in good spirits, and not lose her composure in front of such a person.
However, the content of the contract still lingered in Jiang Ning's mind like a curse.
Even if my eyes are closed, my mind will still think uncontrollably.
"This is too detailed. The drama hasn't even been finished, but they've already thought of everything for the variety show. This can't really be a scam. I'd better listen to my brother and be more careful..."
The night deepened and the world became quiet, but Jiang Ning couldn't fall asleep.
She skillfully turned on the TV and played it as background music. As a result, the exciting plots on TV attracted Jiang Ning's attention again.
Jiang Ning became more and more fascinated as he watched, and before he knew it, it was four o'clock in the morning.
When she reacted, she was shocked herself.
"Oh my God, what happened today? Why can't I sleep?! No, no, I have to go to bed quickly, otherwise I will definitely have big dark circles under my eyes tomorrow!"
So she began to review the script in her mind. In the past, every time at this time, she would think about the script and let the plot develop according to her imagination. As she thought about it, she became sleepy.
Today, surprisingly, I felt more energetic the more I thought about it.
Fortunately, this method worked in the end, and she finally fell asleep.
But the result of doing this was that Jiang Ning was in great pain when he woke up the next day, and he was still immersed in his own gentle love and couldn't extricate himself.
