Chapter 21 Trap
Chapter 21 Trap
"Director Li's play is still short of a maid role. I promised to help find someone to fill it."
"Director Li?" Su Qin looked puzzled. She hadn't heard of any director making a new play recently. She suddenly thought, "Could it be that Su Mo refused to act in that play before?"
"Ah."
"I won't go. Why can Su Mo play the second female lead, while I can only play a maid?"
"Director Li helped me with the previous matter, so just consider it as returning a favor. Besides, this maid and the male lead, Jin Yan, have a lot of rival scenes together." Jin Jing persuaded kindly.
"An opposing role? Serving him tea and water, or helping him pass on information?" Su Qin looked at Jin Jing with a sneer. At that time, Su Mo's refusal to act caused a lot of uproar, and now he wanted to use her as a favor. "Why should I return your favor?"
"Suqin, wasn't I doing that to help you get promoted? So you have to accept it whether you want to or not, unless you also have 300 million to terminate the contract. I can promote you or I can hide you." Jin Jing said as she walked to Suqin and touched her face. As she finished speaking, she pinched Suqin's chin and lifted it up.
Su Qin was startled when she saw Jin Jing's smile suddenly widen. That creepy smile scared her for the first time. She always thought she was the smart one and Jin Jing was a brainless and bad-tempered woman. Now she felt like the little sheep. "I'll go, I'll go."
"That's the way to behave. Don't everyone follow Su Mo." After saying that, he patted Su Qin's shoulder and walked out of the office.
Su Qin felt like all the strength had been drained from her body. She walked back to the car as if she was walking on cotton. She took out her cell phone tremblingly and called Jin Yan.
"Hey, Qinqin. Are you done?"
"Yan, I want to change my agent. Can you talk to my cousin?"
Su Qin cried, but the straight man Jin Yan didn't notice it. "Why?"
"I..." Su Qin wanted to tell Jin Yan what happened just now, but she couldn't help shaking when she remembered Jin Jing patting her shoulder and leaning over to whisper in her ear before she left. "I'm not capable enough, and I'm afraid that I'll hinder my cousin's development."
"Qinqin, you are so kind. You are thinking about your cousin all this time. Don't worry, your cousin's entry into the entertainment industry is just a part of her training. She will still return to her own company in the future."
"I……"
"Qinqin, don't worry. My cousin is the only one in the family who is willing to stand on our side. If you change your agent now, it will be bad if my cousin misunderstands you. By the way, I heard that you will also come to our crew. Did your cousin tell you what role you will play? Are you going to take the second female lead?"
"I..." When Su Qin was about to say something, someone called Jin Yan over there, and Jin Yan quickly said, "Qin Qin, the photographer called me, I'm going to take the poster first, and we'll talk later."
After the call was hung up, Su Qin frantically slapped the steering wheel of the car, crying and asking, "Why, why, how am I worse than Su Mo?"
At this moment, someone knocked on the car window gently. Su Qin wiped her tears and lowered the car window. A man in a suit stood outside the car. He asked gently, "Miss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, what's wrong?"
"I just came down and heard you honking your horn. I thought something happened, so I came over to ask if there was anything I could help with."
"Well, it's okay."
The man handed Su Qin a tissue and said, "Here, your eye makeup is a little smudged."
Su Qin took the tissue and looked in the rearview mirror. Sure enough, her eye makeup was smudged by crying. When she was about to say "thank you", she found that the man had already got into the nanny car behind her and left the parking lot. Su Qin lowered her head and looked at the tissue in her hand again. Suddenly, she felt warm in her heart, the warmth from a stranger. He didn't ask why, nor did he expose her disguise, but he kindly reminded her that her eye makeup was smudged.
On the other side, Jin Jing's phone lit up and received a message.
The last number is 2588, China Merchants Bank received RMB. [China Merchants Bank]
Su Mo thought about what to cook tomorrow, and when he looked at the time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. When he was about to go to bed, he received a call from Lin Qian.
"Momo, I just received a message that Director Zhang Yi is publicly recruiting actors for his new drama."
Su Mo suddenly entered a blind spot again: Is Director Zhang Yi famous? Why is Lin Qian so excited? I don't know the answer to this question. Su Mo asked tentatively: "Which Director Zhang Yi?"
"That's Zhang Yi, who won the Best Director Award not long ago. He's one of the most popular directors now. Have you lost your memory too?"
Su Mo remembered that he had told Lin Qian before that he had lost some of his memory, but he forgot it again when he got nervous. He quickly replied, "Yes, it's very vague. I don't know when I can recover from this unfortunate amnesia. What drama is Director Zhang filming this time?"
"This time, Director Zhang is filming a drama with a strong female lead. It tells the story of Wang Hua who married into the Li family. Because she offended the village party secretary, she had to go out to work with her husband. However, she had a low education level. She started as a dishwasher and constantly improved her work ability. She worked her way up to the hotel lobby manager and was well recognized by her leaders and liked by her colleagues. Later, because her husband encountered setbacks in finding a job in the big city and was completely unable to adapt to life in the city, and because of his inferiority complex, he insisted on returning to the village, so she had to give up her job in the city. After returning to the village, Wang Hua wanted to use the local Rizhao characteristics to grow grapes, but because she had offended the village party secretary before, she often encountered various problems. However, she repaid evil with virtue, slowly resolved the previous conflicts, and finally led the villagers of Lijia Village to become rich together."
"What a pitiful woman. She had the ability to settle down in a big city and provide better resources for the next generation, but she gave it up for her incompetent husband. She has to lead the whole village when she returns to the village to start a business. The bigger the team, the harder it is to lead, and there will definitely be a lot of conflicts."
"Uh, your angle is very unique."
"Forget it. I'd rather play a role in a drama where the wife tears up the mistress or where the heroine is independent, self-reliant, fights monsters and levels up, and reaches the pinnacle of life. This script is pretty good, especially with great love, but I always feel that it has a little bit of whitewashing and moral blackmail. I can't handle this type of role well yet, and it's easy to fail."
"But……"
Su Mo interrupted Lin Qian and said, "I know the director is good, the script is good, and I believe the actors involved will not be bad either. There is a good chance that I will win an award at the end of the year, but I still want to follow my heart."
"Well, there are so many people auditioning for this play, and I may not be able to get in even if I go, so I might as well do something more reliable."
"The one who understands me is Lin Qian."
"You're just poor, but hurry up and help me make money. I'm counting on you to make a great comeback."
"Did your father put pressure on you?"
"I don't have a father, but the shareholders of the company are eyeing me covetously, thinking about how to get promoted every day. If I can't produce some tangible results, I'm afraid... Oh, let's not talk about these troubles, let's go to bed early."
"Well, don't be too stressed. Every family has its own problems. Wait for me to help you sing the song of a liberated serf."
"Okay, I'll hang up first."
"OK Bye Bye."
