Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 247 Another Ice, the Considerate and Sensible Wang Ou
In late October, filming began for "Love Transfer," and Yan Li, the producer, attended the ceremony.

The film was prepared in a very short time.

It was probably after the summer vacation that host Liu Yiwei had this idea, so he started looking for people to put together a script. He then partnered with China Film Group and brought in Yan Li. With everyone in place and funding secured, filming began.

Furthermore, the filming period is expected to be only about a month, and each guest actress will only have one or two days or two or three days of availability.

This speed is reminiscent of Hong Kong's Lunar New Year films back in the day, but Hong Kong was much more efficient, able to release films in just one or two months.

"Love Transfer" is unlikely to make it into this year's Lunar New Year film season, and it's impossible for it to compete with blockbusters like "Curse of the Golden Flower" at the box office.

Therefore, it is expected to be launched in February next year, around the Spring Festival, taking advantage of the winter vacation and Valentine's Day.

Making a fortune is out of the question, but making a small profit is still possible.

Although it's a small-scale operation, the lineup is still quite strong.

The Teddy Sisters group contributed the most, with four members attending: Ma Yili and Li Xiaolu led the team, while Xiong Naijin and Zhao Ke also came.

Qin Lan, Huo Siyan, and Liu Yun are all filming, otherwise they could have played a cameo role.

Dong Xuan and Fan Xiaopang were also excluded from the role because of this, but Wang Ou got a role because he needed to go back to Beijing for work.

Wu Jiani was busy at the dance studio, while Yang Rong didn't want Wang Ou to know she was in Beijing and didn't participate in the performance.

But Yan Li knew more than just them; with one phone call, he also borrowed Tong Lei from Hairun.

The latter is currently dating Zhou Yiwei, so she's practically his sister-in-law.

There's also my college classmate Che Xiao, who is probably the most successful among the 2000 vocational college students at Beijing Film Academy, besides Yan Li and his roommates.

She has played leading roles and is somewhat famous. Not long ago, she also signed with Huayi Brothers.

Although the two were both in the capital, they hadn't seen each other for some time and had only vaguely heard news about each other.

It was when Yan Li attended the celebration party for "The Banquet" that Che Xiao, also an artist from Huayi Brothers, met with him again. The old classmates shared their experiences, and Yan Li asked her for a favor. Che Xiao readily agreed to act for free.

To be honest, who among the 2000 vocational class of Beijing Film Academy didn't envy Lin Jiachuan and his classmates?

Although Lin Jiachuan and Zhang Songwen are not very famous, they have never lacked acting opportunities and have frequently appeared in TV dramas. Over the years, audiences may not be able to recall their names, but they will definitely recognize them as actors.

Zhou Yiwei has also acted in Haiyan dramas and played the male lead more than once. He may not be a popular young actor, but he is quite well-known.

In the eyes of their old classmates, this was definitely due to Yan Li's support; otherwise, they wouldn't have had the chance to shine.

Putting aside other things, not many students from the 2000 vocational or even undergraduate classes at Beijing Film Academy made it big; many simply went behind the scenes or even changed careers.

So, with the exception of a few, all of these old classmates wanted to curry favor with Yan Li.

Unfortunately, there were too many people who wanted to curry favor with Yan Li, and Yan Li couldn't possibly take care of them all. He could only benefit from the favor of a few of his close friends.

Che Xiao had mixed feelings about Yan Li.

As mentioned before, before Yan Li pursued Dong Xuan in college, he actually had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Che Xiao, a classmate.

If it weren't for Dong Xuan, the two might have been together. In fact, Che Xiao even went to cause trouble for Dong Xuan because Yan Li and Dong Xuan were together.

Time has passed, and logically, this regret should have been put aside long ago. But Yan Li is doing so well now that the regret has not only not disappeared, but has become bigger and bigger.

Yan Li didn't take it too seriously. It was just an old classmate he'd had a flirtatious relationship with for five or six years, and he'd almost forgotten about it.

In addition to the above-mentioned individuals, China Film Group and the production team also invited Qin Hailu, Ning Jing, Qu Ying, and Jiang Hongbo.

There seem to be two newcomers, but Yan Li doesn't know them. They weren't filmed when the movie started, so they didn't come.

The only actresses present today are Qin Hailu, Li Xiaolu, and Jiang Hongbo.

Jiang Hongbo is practically half a leading lady, playing the ex-wife at both the beginning and the end of the film.

Qin Hailu plays a highly sensitive woman who lacks inner security and has strong insight; most men can't handle her.

Li Xiaolu portrays herself as a passionate and energetic young woman born in the 85s, but lacking in depth and not suitable for middle-aged men who want to get married and settle down.

Jiang Hongbo and Qin Hailu were not familiar with each other, and Yan Li did not know the situation, but casting Li Xiaolu in this role was definitely a sign of the director's keen eye.

Li Xiaolu could absolutely play the role of a playful, trend-chasing, and somewhat shallow young girl.

Although he was an investor in the production team, Yan Li joined later and didn't have much interaction with the main creators.

However, this was no challenge for Yan Li, who was skilled at socializing. Coupled with his status, he easily became friends with these people.

Since there was a performance scheduled for the evening, no meal was arranged. Yan Li chatted with everyone for a while before preparing to leave.

However, just before leaving, he saw Li Xiaolu looking at him, thought for a moment, and then waved for him to come over.

Li Xiaolu did the job of spreading the news through Orange Sky. Although Orange Sky didn't fall for it, he still put in the effort.

Putting everything else aside, Yan Li has to keep his promises, otherwise who will do things for him in the future?

"Have your husband go to Yi'an in the next couple of days. I'll find someone to arrange a role for him."

Yan Li keeps her word, but it also depends on how well Li Xiaolu performs. If she successfully sets up Orange World and makes a great contribution, Yan Li can arrange a leading role for her boyfriend.

But this is just a rumor; Li Xiaolu has made a contribution, but not a huge one.

There will definitely be a role, but unless Li Chen is incredibly lucky and the crew appreciates him, and no one else is competing with him for the male lead, he will have no chance of getting the role.

The chances of him being the male lead are slim, but he won't just be given any role; that would be too unprofessional. He'll at least be an important supporting character.

"Then I'll thank President Yan on his behalf."

Li Xiaolu didn't know Yan Li's purpose, nor whether the plan had succeeded.

However, she accepted any role offered by Yan Li, regardless of whether the role was good or bad, since it wasn't her acting anyway. It was just one thing.

"Mr. Yan, could you please tell me that you don't want me to be given roles with kissing or bed scenes?"

Li Xiaolu made a request: since he was her boyfriend, she didn't want Li Chen to have any intimate scenes with other actresses.

Yan Li expressed his understanding and thought for a moment: "I remember there was a movie called 'The Legend of Shaolin Temple'. If you don't mind shaving your head and doing action scenes, you can play a monk or something. There will definitely be no romantic scenes."

Li Xiaolu clapped her hands: "This is good, let's play this role."

After agreeing to the matter and exchanging a few polite words, Yan Li left.

Li Xiaolu stayed to film until after 2 a.m. before leaving.

The production crew has a hotel, but since some actors have accommodations in Beijing, they can choose to go home to stay.

Li Xiaolu lived nearby, and since her filming didn't start until tomorrow night, she didn't need to get up early to do her makeup, so she took a taxi home directly.

When they got home, Li Chen, who hadn't been working recently, was already asleep. Li Xiaolu, who was hungry from filming, insisted on getting him up to make her a midnight snack.

"What kind of movie are you filming? It's so tiring."

Li Chen looked at Li Xiaolu, who was slumped listlessly on the sofa, and couldn't help but feel curious.

Li Xiaolu didn't really want to talk: "Why ask so many questions?"

The little girl she plays is full of energy, always causing trouble and doing whatever comes to mind. She's either dancing in a club, playing video games, picking fights, jumping and shouting while watching the World Cup, and even imitating Zidane's header.

Although Li Xiaolu is a crazy girl, she is happy and playful on her own, which is completely different from playing the same kind of crazy girl.

From the opening ceremony, to the interviews and costume fittings, and then to the actual filming, we stayed up until midnight, and the scenes were all energetic and lively. No wonder we were exhausted.

Seeing this, Li Chen didn't want to make things difficult for herself, so she made her some noodles and then went to the bathroom to run the water while Li Xiaolu took a shower.

Seeing that her boyfriend was quite considerate, Li Xiaolu was quite satisfied: "I got you a role from Yan Li. Go to Yi'an these next few days and take a look, so you won't be idle at home every day."

Acting is a semi-freelance profession.

Those who are famous can't stay idle; they don't even have time to rest. Those who aren't famous can't even find a job.

Actors like Li Chen, who are somewhat famous but not very well-known, are in an awkward position.

They have some confidence, enough to not be too proud to take on minor roles or extras, but their connections and fame are limited, so they can only be chosen.

If you're lucky, you can film for a few months a year and earn a decent income. If you're unlucky, you won't get any work all year and will have to live off your savings.

Therefore, many aspiring actors are keen on socializing and networking, or try to pass the civil service exam, all in order to have more job opportunities or a stable job as a safety net.

Li Chen didn't have much work this year, spending nearly half the year free or doing odd jobs, which is why Li Xiaolu thought of getting him a role in a film.

Upon hearing Li Xiaolu's words, Li Chen couldn't help but pause, glancing at his girlfriend who looked quite tired and had returned home late at night, his expression changing slightly.

Why would Yan Li help you?

Completely unaware that something was amiss, Li Xiaolu took a sip of soup and instinctively began to flaunt her close relationship with the big boss.

"I've said it so many times, we're good friends, I always call him brother, it's just a matter of a word."

“Go back and look. If it doesn’t work, I’ll talk to him again, and we’ll change it again.”

Li Xiaolu was boasting that she still had some connection with Yan Li, and if all else failed, she could ask Qin Lan for help so as not to lose face.

Actually, this wasn't the first time Li Chen had encountered this situation. Li Xiaolu loved to show off and spoke in a mix of truth and falsehood.

However, Li Chen had a misunderstanding before and was still suspicious. Now that he saw Li Xiaolu inexplicably get a movie for him from Yan Li, he was even more suspicious.

Don't sacrifice your girlfriend for a role.

Even worse, Li Chen thought darkly whether it was Li Xiaolu who got him the role, or Yan Li who thought he was in the way and made him leave the capital to free him up.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Chen couldn't help but say, "Stay away from Yan Li in the future. He's no good."

Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, he hoped that Li Xiaolu and Yan Li would have less contact.

That makes sense. If Li Chen gets close to a girl with a bad reputation, Li Xiaolu wouldn't feel comfortable either.

However, given their romantic relationship, Li Xiaolu was in a dominant position and had been spoiled, so she couldn't stand being controlled like this.

Moreover, Li Xiaolu had a good impression of Yan Li.

He spent a lot of money, but he was kind, generous, capable, and of high status. I don't think Yan Li is a bad person who is not worth associating with.

Not to mention that Li Xiaolu felt she had been so good to Li Chen and had even secured a role for him, yet he acted as if she had wronged him.

Li Xiaolu slammed her chopsticks down: "Li Chen, what do you mean?"

Li Chen, who had been holding back, finally couldn't hold back his anger any longer: "I just don't want you to get too close to him."

"So what if we're close? We're completely innocent. I think you're just jealous of Yan Li, it's your inferiority complex that's making you so petty."

"I have low self-esteem? Stop trying to shift the blame. You know perfectly well whether you've done anything suspicious yourself."

"..."

Li Xiaolu and Li Chen had a big fight, smashing bowls in the process. Li Xiaolu then moved back to her own home and texted Yan Li, telling him not to give the role to Li Chen.

...

Yan Li was still a little confused when he saw the text message the next morning. Why would he give up such a good role?

He called Li Xiaolu, who didn't say anything, but just told him not to assign Li Chen a role.

Yan Li noticed something was off about the other person's tone and, after a moment's thought, realized that the two of them might have had a fight.

He didn't bother with the young couple's conflict, but simply said he would remember it for Li Xiaolu and deal with it later.

If they reconcile, I'll give Li Chen another role; if they break up, I'll give it to Li Xiaolu or her future boyfriend. Li Xiaolu can decide for herself, as long as it doesn't mean he broke his promise.

"what happened?"

Yang Rong came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of warmed buns and asked Yan Li about them, but the latter shook his head.

"Small things."

While eating a steamed bun, Yan Li looked at Yang Rong: "Have you booked the plane tickets?"

"Yes, my flight is this afternoon."

Yang Rong has taken leave from Beijing recently. She still has work at the drama theater, and her agency has also arranged a new play for her, so she has to return to Shanghai today.

Yan Li was a little reluctant to part with her. During this time, Yang Rong had been neither clingy nor cold towards him. She was in good health and had a good personality, so Yan Li was quite pleased with her.

"If you leave, I'll be all alone again."

Yan Li tried to play the victim, but Yang Rong, who was eating a steamed bun, rolled her eyes and said, "It's none of your business if anyone's all alone."

Don't think she doesn't know; Yan Li has been away from her from time to time lately, he must have been seeing someone else.

She didn't know exactly who it was, but Wu Jiani was definitely one of them; she had seen it in the QQ group.

Moreover, Wang Ou will soon return to the capital. Although he won't stay for long, he won't leave Yan Li feeling lonely.

"You're just afraid I'll bring Wang Ou here, aren't you?"

Yan Li exposed Yang Rong's little scheme. Yang Rong had come to the capital this time without telling Wang Ou, because she was afraid that Wang Ou would block her and drag her down with him.

Not only Wang Ou, but also Yan Li, Yang Rong was afraid that one person could not be a match for this pair of scoundrels, so she could only make a hasty retreat.

Yang Rong remained silent, clearly acquiescing, while Yan Li took a vicious bite of his steamed bun.

Running away won't help; you're all meat in the pot, and sooner or later we'll all be piled up together.

After finishing their meal, seeing Yang Rong tidying up, Yan Li couldn't resist postponing his work and taking Yang Rong for a nap.

Once she returns to Shanghai, we might not see each other again for a while, so let's enjoy every last bite.

...

After Yang Rong left, only Wu Jiani remained in the capital. The latter was too busy to be of any use, and Yan Li even had trouble satisfying his cravings.

Yan Li used to think he had so many women that he was almost too busy to handle them all. But this time he realized that his thinking was somewhat one-sided. Many of them were female celebrities, and with their busy work schedules, there were bound to be times when he felt he didn't have enough women to support him.

I wanted to visit the set, but I had a lot of other things to do. I couldn't find a suitable place to go for a meal, and I was also considering safety.

Yan Li could only find ways to release some of the energy he couldn't release during his spare time.

Fitness training, martial arts practice, running, horseback riding, and soccer can all have some effect, but they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and may even make you feel more agitated.

So much so that when Wang Ou returned to Beijing, she encountered Yan Li, who was covered in gasoline. She and Wu Jiani were almost unable to leave the house because of Yan Li's antics.

"You live close by in the capital, so you should at least feed them occasionally."

The next day, Yan Li went to work feeling refreshed, while Wang Ou, supporting his back, complained to Wu Jiani.

She's so immature; look how much she's made Yan Li feel! She even feels a little sorry for him.

Wu Jiani said, feeling wronged, "I have to be able to handle it too."

If she could satisfy Yan Li on her own, there would be nothing more to say. The key is that she really couldn't handle it. Even when she teamed up with Wang Ou, they were still completely defeated.

Wang Ou thought about it and realized that Yan Li seemed to be practicing some kind of health-preserving exercise, and her abilities were becoming increasingly exaggerated. Otherwise, she wouldn't be dragging Wu Jiani along with her so often.

This kind of thing is fun occasionally, but if it goes on for a long time, the threshold rises and the appetite grows bigger, which is not a good thing.

But there was no way; one person simply couldn't deal with Yan Li.

Unlike Qin Dongfan and others, Wang Ou wouldn't tolerate Yan Li seeking other people when he's not well-fed, nor would she condone his reckless behavior.

In order to please Yan Li and increase her favor, she had to make sure that Yan Li ate well and was full. One person couldn't do it alone, so she had to ask Wu Jiani to help.

As for Yan Li's appetite and threshold, Wang Ou had other ideas: he could use adding or replacing people to satisfy their needs and create a sense of novelty.

For example, that little slut Yang Rong.

However, when Yang Rong was mentioned, a shadow crossed Wang Ou's mind. Recently, her good friend had been acting strangely. Not to mention before, last night she called her as usual to listen to the live broadcast, but Yang Rong hung up on her.

This is the first time in history, there must be something wrong!
Wang Ou wasn't worried about anything else; what she feared was that Yang Rong would come to her senses, stop interfering, and find a boyfriend to live a normal life.

In this situation, since they are good friends, Wang Ou said she couldn't drag the other person down with her.

But this would be a major blow to Wang Ou's plans.

Wang Ou knew Yang Rong's personality well; she didn't like to compete, had no bad intentions, and wasn't the type to cause trouble.

She is good-looking and has a good figure. She is charming and secretly flirtatious. Yan Li is also interested in her, and there has been a lot of foreshadowing beforehand.

Most importantly, the two have an excellent relationship and a high level of trust, so Wang Ou doesn't have to worry about being betrayed by his own people.

They can help me, I can trust them, and they won't steal my thunder or compete for the team leader position.

It can be said that Yang Rong was Wang Ou's best comrade-in-arms, even surpassing Wu Jiani by several levels.

If Yang Rong's relationship falls through, where will Wang Ou find a suitable replacement in the near future?

A conflicted Wang Ou arrived at the set of "Love Transfer" to report for duty.

In the movie, she plays a policewoman who is heroic and workaholic, always thinking about catching thieves and fighting crime. She also has a somewhat strong personality, which the male lead cannot accept, and they eventually separate peacefully.

The role wasn't difficult, so Wang Ou looked at the script while getting her makeup done in the dressing room.

At that moment, there was another actress in the dressing room, seemingly trying on makeup. Wang Ou nodded politely and was about to walk over when he suddenly took a step back and couldn't help but look at the oval face in the mirror.

Hmm, this face... looks a bit like mine.

However, upon closer inspection, they don't look very alike. How should I put it? Both of them have oval faces, and their eyebrows, eyes, and facial features are quite gentle and sweet. At first glance, they do seem somewhat similar.

This girl has a gentle and elegant facial structure and features, and her temperament is quite approachable.

Wang Ou, on the other hand, is more aloof and charming, more aggressive, and has a stronger aura.

The actress noticed that Wang Ou was staring at her, so she didn't dare to be negligent and stood up to greet him.

"Hello, Teacher Wang, I am Bai Bing, and I play Zhou Xinrui in the group."

Another iceberg!?
Wang Ou felt slightly uncomfortable with the word, but on the surface he still smiled and shook hands with Bai Bing, chatting with her very warmly.

Bai Bing was a little flattered. Wang Ou was a completely different person now, and could be considered a popular young actress. She was one of the top actresses in "Love Transfer". He didn't expect that she would be so kind to a newcomer like her.

As a result, Bai Bing's goodwill towards Wang Ou increased greatly, and coupled with his lack of experience, Wang Ou managed to extract a lot of information from him.

Bai Bing is indeed a newcomer, and a completely new one at that. He's a complete novice, only 20 years old this year, and has just started his career.

In the past two years, talent shows have become increasingly popular. CCTV also produced a talent show called "Dream China". Bai Bing, a university student in Northwest China, signed up for the show and did well. He was then signed by Hong Kong's Yinghuang Company.

Yinghuang valued him quite a bit, releasing a single for him, having him act in a TV series, and even recommending him to China Film Group for a role in "Love Transfer".

Wang Ou became somewhat interested in him, chatted with him for a while, exchanged contact information, and even changed how he addressed him.

"Don't call me 'teacher,' it makes me sound old. I'm not that much older than you, just call me Sister Ou."

Bai Bing, of course, wouldn't refuse Wang Ou's advances and obediently called out, "Sister Ou."

Wang Ou smiled and said, "Since you call me 'sister,' I'll call you 'Bingbing.'"

"no problem."

So the two of them kept calling Wang Ou "Bingbing" and "Sister Ou," making Wang Ou feel incredibly comfortable.

Even a pirated Bingbing is still Bingbing. She's been bullied by that vixen surnamed Fan for so long, can't she at least find some comfort?

Because the two parties were not filming at the same location, they separated after finishing their makeup.

Bai Bing was thinking about Wang Ou, his new celebrity friend, and planned to try and get closer to him after work.

As a result, Wang Ou left in a hurry after finishing work, without even coming to the dressing room to remove his makeup, and didn't even have time to return the handcuff prop.

Bai Bing was slightly disappointed. They had only met by chance, and although they had each other's contact information, it was not good to bother him. He wondered if Wang Ou would remember him if they met again.

The next day, after filming wrapped up, Bai Bing received a call from Wang Ou to celebrate the end of filming.

That's right, the Stormtroopers have very few scenes, and the costume fitting and filming were completed in two days. Wang Ou has a few more scenes than her, but filming is expected to wrap up tomorrow or the day after.

Bai Bing never expected Wang Ou to contact him again and even celebrate the completion of filming, so he immediately went to the appointment.

However, Wang Ou was held up by something, which made Bai Bing wait in the restaurant for quite a while before he finally showed up.

"I'm sorry, I thought I could come over right after work, but there was a last-minute event at the company."

Wang Ou explained that the white soldier shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and even showed a slight hint of envy.

She was a newcomer and had very few job opportunities. Apart from occasionally taking on odd jobs or joining company events, she was mostly idle.

"Your company is so big and powerful, arranging a play shouldn't be difficult for you."

In Wang Ou's memory, Yinghuang was a big company, even bigger than Yi'an, so how come Bai Bing was doing so badly?

“Our company is big, but we also have a lot of people, and we value artists from Hong Kong more.”

Bai Bing developed a strong liking for Wang Ou because of her humble and respectful attitude. In addition, as a newcomer with few friends in the industry in Beijing, she began to pour out her troubles after a little prompting from Wang Ou.

These days, Hong Kong entertainment companies attract many mainland artists to join them because of their big names and abundant resources.

But in reality, the Hong Kong entertainment circle is not an easy place to navigate.

Firstly, many Hong Kong entertainment companies sign mainland artists with the aim of opening up the mainland market, so they mostly provide mainland resources.

These Hong Kong companies are quite powerful, but they are essentially operating away from home in mainland China, where resources are limited.

At the same time, and most importantly, these Hong Kong companies preferred to use "their own people," that is, Hong Kong actors.

Take Yinghuang as an example. Most of its artists are from Hong Kong. They are not only famous, but also have deep connections within the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Newcomers like Bai Bing, who are unknown and have no connections, simply cannot compete with those Hong Kong artists.

The resources Bai Bing had previously had were still somewhat influenced by the talent show.

The company hasn't mentioned any future plans yet, but judging from her agent's words, it seems they still want to arrange for her to participate in a talent show.

If she debuts through a talent show and then goes back to participate in another talent show, then her talent show journey was wasted.

Seeing the distressed Stormtroopers, Wang Ou comforted them while sighing with emotion.

At times like these, she feels especially fortunate to have met Yan Li and seized the opportunity; otherwise, she doesn't know what state she would be in now.

Perhaps he's a minor actor, or maybe he's still struggling in the modeling world, or perhaps he can't make it in Beijing and has to go back to his hometown.

If you're lucky, you can find a job as a dance teacher and have an income. If you're unlucky, you'll get married and become a housewife, taking care of the children and worrying about every penny you have for groceries.

It was Wang Ou's constant, intentional or unintentional "self-congratulation" that made her increasingly complacent and dependent on Yan Li.

Therefore, she had to do everything she could to make Yan Li unable to leave her, and to make Yan Li feel that she was the most beloved lover.

Thinking of this, Wang Ou glanced at Bai Bing: "If you really don't have any job opportunities, I'll arrange one for you, preferably one with more screen time."

"real?!"

Bai Bing was pleasantly surprised and quickly expressed his gratitude, saying that he was truly grateful to have met this kind older sister, who was so loyal.

"It's nothing, just a small favor."

Wang Ou waved her hand dismissively. Although she wasn't particularly famous, she had a powerful background and more influence than many actors who were more famous than her.

Arranging a supporting role wouldn't be difficult for Wang Ou; if all else fails, she can ask Yan Li for help.

However, Wang Ou's wave of her hand made Bai Bing notice something was wrong: "Sister Ou, why is your wrist red?"

Wang Ou instinctively covered his mouth and pursed his lips: "I bumped into it."

Why do you bump into something in a circle?!
Bai Bing was puzzled, but seeing that Wang Ou didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any more questions.

After dinner, Wang Ou drove his Jaguar, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and had Bai Bing accompany him to the China World Trade Center to buy things.

After filming "Love Transfer", she has an event that requires some clothing and accessories.

In some cases, the company pays for the equipment, while in others the artist pays out of their own pocket. The former goes to the company, and the latter to the artist.

Many celebrities earn a lot of money, but they also spend it a lot; clothing expenses can be a significant burden.

Bai Bing is also an entertainer, so he has some experience in this area.

However, when she attends events, she usually wears company-provided clothing or rents it herself; she rarely buys it.

After all, you can't wear cheap clothes; they'll cost at least several hundred yuan, and slightly better ones will cost over a thousand. Often, you can only wear them once, and then you'll have to buy something else for a similar occasion. The cost-effectiveness is too low.

However, Wang Ou not only buys these items himself, but they are also not cheap. A single piece of clothing can easily cost several thousand yuan, and some can even cost tens of thousands. His accessories are even more expensive.

When they came out of the China World Trade Center, the two of them were carrying bags of various sizes, totaling nearly 20 yuan.

Bai Bing helped Wang Ou carry the bag, looking somewhat dazed.

Her family was actually well-off; her parents ran a business, and although they weren't extremely wealthy, they were financially secure.

So Bai Bing always thought she was indifferent to money, but after seeing Wang Ou's little display today, she suddenly realized that she wasn't indifferent to money, but rather that she hadn't seen enough before.

She spent nearly 20 yuan on a few pieces of clothing. That's enough to buy a house in a small county town. Is this what life is like for celebrities?

Even celebrities don't spend money like this!
Wang Ou knew perfectly well that she wouldn't have been willing to spend so much money if Yan Li hadn't been supporting her.

Even though Yan Li gave her money, she usually didn't squander it this much; today it was intentional.

If you want to fish, you have to first throw some bait and give her a taste of the sweetness, and at the same time, you have to show her an even bigger taste of the sweetness so that she will be eager to go.

Wang Ou learned this trick from Yan Li, and then added some of his own ideas.

I did a simple test with Wu Jiani, but this is the first time I've actually done it on my own.

Wang Ou was quite satisfied with himself, and when he got back he showed off to Yan Li, who was speechless.

Is this young woman addicted to pimping?!

Putting everything else aside, Wang Ou's actions were quite clever. Besides treating people to a meal and providing some emotional support, he also introduced the characters and made sure the clothes and accessories were all his own.

Even if you don't succeed in fishing, you won't lose anything, and you don't have to worry about being caught by fish instead of fishing.

The advantage is safety; it works subtly and quietly, bringing people closer together. The disadvantage is that it's too slow and requires too much worry.

"Alright, you don't need to fish. I know what you're thinking. Let me tell you the truth: Yang Rong came a few days ago and has been keeping me company."

Yan Li wasn't interested in Wang Ou's fishing plan. Besides, what was there to fish for? He could just give a heads-up to Yinghuang's people, and that Bai guy would have to come over for dinner. With a little trickery, he quickly scooped them up with the net.

He's not in the mood for wild fish right now, but Wang Ou is, so why not help him put Yang Rong in the same dish?

"Okay."

Upon hearing Yan Li's words, Wang Ou suddenly realized what was going on. She had been saying that Yang Rong was a strange little vixen.

I thought he was having an affair, but it turns out he had a "true love" in him and was secretly eating alone without telling her.

Wang Ou was furious and took out her phone to call Yang Rong to question her about whether she treated her as a good friend, but Yan Li stopped her.

"If you expose her, she'll avoid you even more."

"Keeping her in the dark, whether by teasing and teasing her slowly or by catching her off guard and using that as leverage, is better than calling her and making things clear."

"Makes sense."

Wang Ou nodded repeatedly, his mind already racing with countless wicked ideas to make that little vixen suffer in silence.

Yan Li comfortably embraced Wang Ou. If every woman were as easy-going, sensible, and considerate as Wang Ou, he couldn't even imagine how comfortable his life would be...
