Chapter 248 246. Ma'am, you don't want to...

   "Want to act in the movie "The Wind"?"

   "Yes, I know that Liang Bingning will play the role, and I want to cooperate with her."

  …

   "Yes, I want to play the leading role, Liang Bingning will play Li Ningyu, then I will play Gu Xiaomeng."

  …

   "Yes, I want to play the leading role, I won't play a role that is too small."

  …

   "Yes, but I may not be able to play the leading role. If it's a supporting role, Brother Xu just give me one."

  …

once.

  Xu Xin thought about countless answers after he asked this question.

  From the main character to the supporting role...

  He has thought about it.

  However, after all the calculations, he didn't expect... what he was waiting for was this answer.

   Then his eyes became a little dull.

   Then the dullness turned to doubt.

   Doubt turned into interest.

   "Why?"

  he asked directly.

  He can't wait to know now... What is the reason why she can give such an answer.

   After hearing his questioning, Jing Tian first glanced up, as if she was thinking.

   Then I looked at my right side again...

   This expression is still thinking.

   After thinking twice in a row, she pursed her lips.

   This is still thinking.

  After completing the three actions, she said:

"A few days ago, after I saw the news, my uncle told me that he and Uncle Xu are friends, and he has already finished calling for me. He said that Brother Xu will contact me in a few days to talk about this movie. ...So...I bought a copy of the original "The Wind" and read it."

   Speaking of this, she shook her head slightly:

   "I'm not interested in this story. After reading two chapters, I stopped reading."

"Well…"

   Vaguely, Xu Xin felt that her chat rhythm...was wrong, and his brain circuit couldn't keep up.

   But I can't tell where it came from.

   I feel weird.

   After thinking about it, he nodded:

   "Well, what then?"

  But who would have thought that there was a strange look in Jing Tian's eyes:

   "So you asked me if I wanted to act in "The Wind", and I answered you. If possible, I don't want to act."

   "...???"

  Hearing this sentence seems to be... the simplest answer.

  Xu Xin was even more confused.

   "Then why are you calling me?"

   "Come play the movie "The Wind"."

   "...?"

  Xu Xin was dumbfounded.

  I feel like my brain circuit is like a bouncy ball, bumping around like a headless chicken following her words.

What the hell…

  What the **** is this talking about?

  He couldn't keep up with the other party's train of thought for a while.

   After thinking about it, he quickly waved his hand:

   "Look, let's take a look."

   "..."

  Jing Tian didn't speak, just staring at him with big eyes.

   "First of all, you don't want to play "The Wind", you are not interested in this story."

"Um."

   "Furthermore... You took the initiative to call me, but you want to play "The Wind"?"

"Yes."

  For a hammer...

  Xu Xin opened her mouth, and suddenly she didn't understand what she was going to do.

   After thinking about it, he asked:

   "Since you... don't want to act, why do you want to act again?"

   "Because I don't act, Uncle Xu and my uncle will have a hard time doing it. They are talking about their cooperation, but this cooperation has my reasons mixed in. So, I don't want to act, but I will act."

   "..."

  Xu Xin was startled...

this…

  What kind of explanation is this?

   Perhaps because she knew that her answer was a bit weird, Jing Tian took the initiative to explain again:

"I don't have to act, because first, I am not interested in this story. Second, my professional courses are very average, and I don't think I can compare with Liang Bingning. Third, my uncle asked me to act. Fourth, My management team thinks that Brother Xu, your film this time is a good opportunity for any actor. Everyone hopes that I can act, so I will act. "

   "But you don't want to act?"

  After getting these four reasons, after Xu Xin asked back, Jing Tian nodded again:

"Yes."

   "..."

  Xu Xin quickly kneaded all the girl's words together in his mind, and then separated them...

   After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly asked:

   "Why did you choose this coerced lifestyle?"

  Jing Tian tilted her head when she heard this.

   Looking at Xu Xin, there was a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

   After a few seconds, she said:

   "Then why did brother Xu agree to me acting?"

"Well…"

  Hey, I have a bad temper.

   Our old Xu has been in the entertainment industry for almost thirty years, and today you really got it right?

  He started from the Olympic Games, so let’s say he has officially stepped into this circle... Until now, let’s not talk about everyone, but at least most of the people, everyone’s chatting and interpersonal communication have the same purpose.

  He wandered in this jungle and was well versed in the survival rules of this jungle.

   And with ease.

  However... When it comes to this girl, there is always a feeling of uncontrolled conversation rhythm.

   Strange, strange...

   After thinking about it, he said:

   "Do you want to listen to the truth or lie."

   "Why do we tell lies?"

   "..."

no.

  Looking at these eyes, Xu Xin felt a little stuffy in his heart.

   Her way of chatting...

  Do not choke people.

   Even frankly.

   and the question is…

  You always feel awkward.

   There are edges and corners.

   After thinking for a while, he took out the cigarette case from his pocket.

   got up and opened the window of the single room.

   Not too many openings, just one slit.

   Then lit a cigarette.

  Jing Tian had no objection to his smoking, but just waited silently for him to speak.

  Nicotine didn't bring any excitement, but it calmed his mind a little.

  After taking two puffs of cigarettes, he said:

"My dad, it should be a cooperation with... Uncle Jing. So, since it is helpful to the family's business, even if we didn't know each other before... I have to come here. The first is to help my dad share the business In order to promote the relationship with the partners, the pressure from the management is more important. The second is to see what role should be given to you.

  This role is actually no matter whether you say you want to play it or not, I will not give you a particularly important role. On the contrary, the characters I give you will only be secondary characters like the background board. Because... I knew about you since I was in school. Indeed, as you said yourself, your level of professional courses is very average. In this group portrait drama, the requirements may not be met. If I say that, will you be angry? "

   "What you said is the truth, why should I be angry?"

   "..."

  Looking at the silent Xu Xin, after Jing Tian finished speaking, she said to herself:

"Brother Xu and I think the same thing. My uncle said that it's very important to cooperate with Uncle Xu. It's a business matter. And the purpose of asking me to come to this drama is to make me famous. , because I like being an actor.

  Being an actor means being famous.

  So, after hearing about Brother Xu, he wanted to help his niece realize her dream. If I don't act, I don't know if there will be twists and turns in the cooperation with Uncle Xu. But I acted, and their cooperation will definitely be very pleasant. So here I am. "

  Seeing that Xu Xin is so straightforward, she is equally straightforward.

  There was no trace of disobedience or lies in those big eyes.

   "..."

   But Xu Xin opened his mouth slightly.

  A look of... awkward.

  He really felt awkward.

  In fact, he understood, because in essence, he and the girl meant the same thing.

   both mean "help the family share the burden".

   Just…

  Why do I always feel particularly awkward when listening to her talk.

  Is she right?

yes.

   means the same as yourself.

  All start from the perspective of the family, suppressing personal preferences behind the "home".

Can…

  I always feel that chatting with her is the kind of life-and-death situation where the knife sees the blood, and the trick is to kill.

  If I can’t stab you, I will stab myself.

  Brother, do we have to be so straightforward?

   Looking at his absurd appearance, Jing Tian shook her head again:

   "Obviously Brother Xu and I chose the same way, why do you think I'm being coerced?"

   "..."

   "What about you? Are you not coerced?"

   "I...uh... ah..."

   After stammering a few words, he suddenly nodded honestly:

"Fine."

  He probably understood what Jing Tian meant.

  Just as she was about to speak, Jing Tian suddenly heard another sentence:

   "Brother Xu, you don't want the cooperation between your family and my family to have twists and turns, do you?"

   "...???"

  Mom.

  How could there be such a terrifying person?

   Saying this... do you mean it literally?

no…

  Who are you threatening...

   It seems wrong.

  Why do I feel that this is a threat?

  Obviously no one wants to act anymore.

  But what happened to the déjà vu feeling of "Ma'am, you don't want your husband to lose his job, do you?"

   But she didn't seem to realize what she meant by saying this, so she continued to nod:

   "So, I don't want to act, but I can act."

"Well…"

   He opened his mouth.

Um.

   is a master.

  …

   "Mimi~"

   "Yifei~~~"

  Looking at Liu Yifei who came in and took off her mask, Yang Mi stood up with a smile, and greeted her with open arms.

   Obviously, give her a big hug.

  Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and then greeted her in the same way.

  After the two hugged for a while, Yang Mi said with a smile:

   "Why did you come here, I almost miss you."

   The tone is called an intimacy.

   Then, she glanced at CINDY next to her and said:

   "CINDY, in the next room, Tingting and the others are here, you can go to that room to eat, order whatever you want."

   "Okay, Miss Mimi."

  CINDY understood what she meant, and then said to Liu Yifei:

   "Sister, then I'm going to that room."

"okay."

  Liu Yifei responded, and then began to untie her woolen coat.

  Her choice of clothes today is actually quite simple, a brown woolen coat with a black sweater, and a pair of dark jeans underneath.

  There is a pair of canvas shoes under the feet...

   Dressing is really casual.

  However, after seeing her fully dressed, Yang Mi frowned.

  The reason for her frowning is very simple, that is...she thinks that Liu Yifei should really change teams.

  A female artist's private clothes are actually more exquisite than the clothes that appear in public.

  On the one hand, clothing in private is the most defining of a person's fashion taste. When many first-tier brands choose their spokespersons, they will consider comprehensively, choosing how these celebrities wear in public and private.

  See if the temperament matches your own brand.

   So, unless it's at home. Otherwise, as long as you go out, you must pay special attention.

  On the other hand, color-screen mobile phones are all bad now, and each mobile phone has a megapixel level, and the photos can be taken very clearly.

   I recognize you, take a photo of you and post it online, and some people will criticize you.

  The more famous you are, the more people will judge you from clothes to makeup to skin to temperament.

  How did the endorsement contract of the clover on her come about?

  Why can she appear on the largest poster photo in Adidas stores across the country?

  Isn’t the reason why Adidas approached me after the unintentional “Phoenix Returns to the Nest” photo came out?

  So, Yang Mi is too aware of the importance of private servers.

  The reason Zhang Jiao goes to some shopping malls now, and the cabinet sister almost treats her as her ancestor is because... she uses her sense of fashion to package Yang Mi's daily attire.

  The core definition has only two points:

   "One, strive for diversification, no matter what the style is, it must be perfect for Miss Mi to digest."

   "Second, it is absolutely not the same. From first-line big names to affordable outfits, you must have an eye-catching fashion taste."

   This is to prepare for the contact with those big fashion-related brands after I become independent next year.

   But are you looking at Liu Yifei?

  Not to mention anything else, regarding today's outfit, Yang Mi felt that if it was her, her image assistants, including image designers, could all be laid off.

   Burberry's woolen coat is already rotten.

   But fortunately, as a classic, it is indeed versatile.

  The sweater above is a sweetheart collar.

  Liu Yifei should have gained some weight recently, and her neck is a bit thicker.

  If you choose, you should also choose a high-necked one. Use the black color difference to look thinner, and cover the neck that looks a little slender because of the long flesh.

   Rather than through the sweetheart neckline, fully expose the flesh on the neck.

   But these are small problems.

   The biggest problem is the choice of pants.

  Black, jeans.

  Her legs are really thick.

   is a typical swollen thick leg.

  The standard for a female artist is that your chest can be flat, but your legs must be thin.

  Because you have to accept the judgment of the public.

  Liu Yifei's upper body is absolutely fine. Yang Mi would even be jealous of some of her facial features.

  But... Her thick legs are actually fatal.

  Puffy thick legs actually have many factors, but her thick legs should be practiced dancing when she was a child, which made her leg muscles very developed. Then, after stopping the exercise halfway, naturally, the leg muscles are wrapped in fat, resulting in swelling and thickening.

  It is difficult to lose weight.

  But it can become muscular and thick.

   Then through shaping, the legs are thick and beautiful at the same time.

   Actresses in the entertainment industry have three things that they pursue all their lives.

  One is to become thinner, the second is to become white, and the third is to have thinner legs.

  Now Liu Yifei... I am afraid that except for Bai, everything else is drifting away.

  No matter which of these three pursuits, if you want to achieve and maintain them, it will be a great torture.

  Even if she is as talented as she is, she only occupies the first and third items.

  The second article is also her pursuit.

   As for the first and third articles...

  Sorry, but as the ultimate spokesperson of "legs playing for years" in the mouth of her fiancé, and an expert who eats everything without gaining weight, she is born with this condition.

   It's that good.

   But what about Liu Yifei?

  Thick legs, still choose black jeans?

  What kind of image assistant is this, so the definition will be given?

   What are you waiting for if you don’t dismiss me?

  Her eyes were strange for a while.

  But there is no need to talk about this kind of thing now, after the two sat intimately at this small dining table, Yang Mi handed over the menu.

   "I haven't eaten here before, you can order."

  Hearing what Liu Yifei said, Yang Mi nodded, and after asking the waiter for a few dishes with the menu, she asked again:

   "Are you drinking?"

"…drink!"

  Hearing this, Yang Mi nodded and said to the waiter:

   "Go get some wine, let me choose."

  The waiter nodded politely and retreated.

  Yang Mi looked at Liu Yifei who was wiping her hands with a hot towel:

   "Xu Xin can't come today, he suddenly has something to do, is it okay?"

   "..."

  Liu Yifei stopped wiping her hands.

   Laughing a bit reluctantly:

   "It's okay."

   Seeing this, Yang Mi was even more sure that she must have been having trouble with Aunt Liu.

  No way, it's too obvious.

  That layer of loss is on the bright side.

  After thinking about it, she said:

"His movie is currently preparing to start auditions. There is a lot of preparation work ahead. When I came back this afternoon, it was after three o'clock. It was originally agreed that the three of us had dinner together, but it was less than 10 o'clock when we got home. In a few minutes, a call came, it was from Xiying Studio, and he went out to work. He also asked me to say sorry to you, and I will treat you to dinner next time to make it up."

   "Yeah, it's okay."

   Liu Yifei nodded with a smile, put down the towel, and suddenly asked curiously:

   "Mimi, then how far have you two... reached?"

  Hearing this, Yang Mi smiled sweetly, and raised her left hand.

  Liu Yifei saw the silver ring on her ring finger at a glance.

   "!!"

  She instantly widened her eyes:

   "You...you..."

   "Yeah. I'm engaged~"

  Yang Mi responded with a smile, her face was flushed red before drinking.

"Wow!!!"

   Now, Liu Yifei's emotions are really set off in place.

   She was really surprised.

   Really really surprised.

   But after being surprised, I immediately asked:

   "Then when will you get married?"

   As he spoke, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately shook his head:

   "It's not suitable for marriage right now? Your career is so good now..."

"Well…"

  Yang Mi opened her mouth and said with a smile:

   "No, I'm thinking about getting married after a trip to Thailand."

   “…Thailand? What are you doing there?”

   "Do you know the White Dragon King?"

   "...that master that Xiangjiang people especially trust?"

   Liu Yifei's eyes widened with surprise.

   "Yes, it is said that he is very accurate in fortune-telling. We both want to ask to see when is the right time to get married."

  Yang Mi is like a treasure:

"First ask when you will get married, and then ask whether you want a son or a daughter for the first child. It is best to ask what name you want to choose, or what year you want the child... Anyway, I have a lot of questions. Go and see When it’s over, let’s put it on the agenda.”

   “…And what about your career?”

"nothing."

  Yang Mi said with a smile:

   "I have to take care of my family first, and I'm talking about my career."

"Well…"

   As soon as the words came out.

   It can be seen that Liu Yifei is really surprised.

  Because...she used to always feel that Mimi had a particularly strong sense of career.

   Communication, contacts, etc. can see that she is digging around everywhere.

   But I haven't seen you for more than a year...

  Looking at a friend who is completely different from before...she sighed spontaneously:

   "Mimi, you have changed so much."

   A second after saying this, Yang Mi had already found a breakthrough.

   Taking advantage of her words, Yang Mi said with a smile:

   "Is there? ... I think Yifei, you have changed a lot now."

"I?"

   Liu Yifei was taken aback.

  Yang Mi nodded:

   "Yes, I used to feel like... a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. But now suddenly there is more fireworks..."

"Well…"

  Liu Yifei looked a little stunned.

   For a moment, I couldn't tell whether this sentence was saying that I was good or that I was bad.

  But immediately heard the next sentence:

"Feel much better."

   "..."

"Just before I finished filming "Golden Armor", didn't I send you a few text messages, asking you out for dinner, singing, etc., but you didn't come out. I thought you had something to say about me... So I'm really happy to ask you out today~"

   These words were actually harsh to Liu Yifei's ears.

   It's not about how Mimi is.

   Rather... She inevitably thought of her state in the past two years.

  In an instant, a voice began to ring.

   "Girl, don't associate with this kind of person, she has too many thoughts and definitely wants to use you."

   "Girl, did you see that, the director has to be respectful even when he sees your godfather. So don't worry, with your godfather around, no one in this circle can do anything to you."

   "Girl, we won't cooperate with them anymore. If Cheng Long and Li Lianjie's film can be made like this, this company must have no future."

   "Daughter..."

   "Daughter..."

   "Daughter..."

   What rang in my ears was a sound that was almost burned into the cracks in the bones.

   She unconsciously raised her head and looked at Yang Mi.

  At this moment, Yang Mi was looking at several bottles of red wine held up by the waiter wearing white gloves.

  The vintages of those red wines should not be short, and the labels are full of traces of the passage of time.

   As for Mimi, she seems to understand very well, and she is communicating with the waiter, such as "Tuscany wine is not good in this year", "this Mouton is not bad", and so on.

   Hear this...

  Mimi's changes... quite big.

  This is the truth.

   She has become really beautiful.

  It feels like a plastic surgery.

   Every gesture exudes an... indescribable charm.

  From clothing, to accessories such as watches and earrings...

  The girl who used to be in the crew of "Sculpture of God" seems to have disappeared.

   It's like breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly again.

   Become mature, elegant, and charming.

  Others have told her before that people in this circle will mature quickly and passively.

  She didn't believe it at first.

  Even after measuring and examining myself in my heart, I feel that I am still the same me, and there is no such thing as "accelerated growth".

  But after seeing Mimi today, she suddenly had this feeling of being vague and translucent in an instant.

  Mimi's change.

  Whether it's temperament, appearance, dress, or the kind of gestures that make her more and more familiar, but I still can't remember who I've seen before...

  It turned out that the reason why I did not experience the feeling of "accelerated growth" was not because I was "independent and sober".

just because of…

  I am always standing still, just stagnating.

   And just when he was standing still.

   Everyone else is growing.

  Even, grow beyond my expectations.

   Suddenly, she felt like a blade of grass.

   This grass grew under a big tree.

  When she was a seedling, the big tree sheltered her from the wind and rain, allowing her to watch the weeds exposed to the sky bent down by the rain in a storm.

  She is safe because she has a big tree protecting her.

  However, the storm will always pass.

  After the rain, the grass that had been nourished by the rain and the sun began to straighten its waist, savagely chasing the direction of the sun, and quickly began to raise and stretch its branches.

  But she didn't realize it.

  Until she discovered again that those "companions" who had accepted the harsh environment had far surpassed herself.

   She just understood.

  The big tree behind me that protects me from the wind and rain has become a shackle that restricts me at some point.

  It keeps out the wind and keeps out the rain.

   more blocked the sun.
