Chapter 236: Top-notch words, specialized in treating little flowers

Sister Pliers is someone who is very good at self-deception.

When she was little, she loved Barbie dolls, but her family wouldn't buy them for her, so she made up a little doll to fool herself and kept telling herself: This is Barbie, this is Barbie.

Pliers Sister cares a lot about her billing order, so after the official announcement of "Goblin", in order to "escape reality" and avoid being ridiculed by Ikeno to her face, she not only turned off her phone, but also started to reminisce about the past and use the "techniques" from her childhood to brainwash herself.

But what's meant to happen can't be avoided.

The next day, when she reopened her phone, she was shocked to find that Chi Ye's WeChat self-introduction had been changed to: "The order of billing in 'Goblin' is ranked. I hope my friends in the industry are aware of this."

Shi Jin stared wide-eyed, her mouth agape.

In a fit of anger, she sent Chi Ye a WeChat message: "You're so childish!"

Ikeno didn't reply to her; he didn't reply all morning.

The initially furious Pliers Sister began to hesitate, then became anxious and uncertain, and finally even started to regret it—had I spoken too harshly to him? Why isn't he replying to me...is he angry...so petty!

the other side.

Ikeno wasn't angry. The reason he didn't reply to Pliers-chan immediately was simple: he hadn't seen it.

I saw it but I don't want to reply. That person, Qianzi, is just "cheap." Let her reflect on her actions.

At this moment, he was in a coffee shop, preparing to meet with Sister Shang to discuss their upcoming promotional activities for "Girl" and finalize their schedules.

It's already early September, and the major investors and film producers for this year's National Day holiday have already launched their own massive marketing campaigns. Some started releasing press releases and trailers as early as mid-August.

The promotional campaign for "Girl" was relatively conventional this time, with the company choosing to start its promotional campaign a month in advance.

only…

Chino waited and waited, and half an hour had passed since the agreed time, but Sister Shang still hadn't arrived.

"Did they fall in again?"

Chi Ye was worried and wondered if he should leave first and make an appointment with Sister Shang after she finished showering.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

Suddenly, the sound of high heels hitting the ground rang out. Chi Ye looked up and saw Sister Shang walking towards him with a hunched back and a furtive look on her face.

Chi Ye raised an eyebrow: "Got caught stealing again?"

Sister Shang sat down, looking around in shock. Only after finding no one paying attention to her did she breathe a sigh of relief and apologize in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Teacher Xiao Chi, I'm late."

"How embarrassed are you?"

Sister Shang was taken aback, then gave an awkward laugh: "It's just... I'm sorry, you won't be mad at me, will you?"

"meeting."

Sister Shang: “…”

She sounded a little aggrieved and lowered her voice, "I have my reasons."

Chino glanced at her sideways: "Don't tell me you've tried some weird method to induce diarrhea again."

Shang Jie's face turned red: "Chi Ye! Don't always look at me with prejudice. I... I didn't. I just had a little 'conflict' with my manager, and I'm afraid she'll 'hunt me down'."

Chi Ye looked completely bewildered: "Huh? Chase? Conflict?"

"Haven't you and your agent always had a good relationship? What did you do to make her hate you so much?"

Sister Shang glanced at him: "It was indeed my fault. I did something that caused both the company and her to collapse."

Chi Ye asked curiously, "Is it that serious? Did eating Wallace clog the company toilet? Tell me more, I want to know more about this."

The businesswoman looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'm cooperating with you."

Chiye: "???"

"Ugh."

Sister Shang sighed softly: "Nothing was wrong before, but recently the company has been putting me in talks with a few big directors for their films. Everything was going well at first, but for some reason, these past two days, they all seem to want to drop me."

"what."

Chi Ye nodded in realization: "That's because you're not good enough, what does that have to do with me?"

Sister Shang glanced at him: "Xiao Chi, I'm so hurt by what you're saying. I took your role to help your studio, and now you insist on using another woman as the female lead and have rejected so many people in the film industry. Of course, people have to turn you down."

"Besides... I'm just a good-for-nothing." Sister Shang suddenly lowered her head sadly: "I've acted in so many movies over the years, and I can't even get a passing grade. Everyone says I'm box office poison, nobody has any faith in me, and I really am a disappointment..."

Ikeno crossed his legs, thought about it carefully, and nodded: "Indeed."

Sister Shang looked up: "Don't you feel guilty?"

"What do I have to feel guilty about?"

Seeing Shang Jie's attitude, Chi Ye knew she was talking nonsense and said speechlessly, "What do you mean I use other women... I'll use you, then come on?"

"Of course... I won't come."

Sister Shang chuckled: "I looked into that 'Goblin,' and the filming time is too long... it's not suitable for me."

Ikeno asked curiously, "Tell me the truth, what exactly did you do to upset others? It can't be just that, can it?"

The collaboration between Sister Shang and him was a long time ago. Her agent and company couldn't possibly be only now realizing it; otherwise, their reaction time would be far too slow.

and so…

"So... I just... I just... I just think it was right for them to reject me, after all, I'm such a useless person... cough cough."

Sister Shang blinked guiltily before adding, "I told them it was no problem... and turned down all the collaborations that were originally supposed to be possible...

Chiye: "???"

He suddenly smiled with relief: "If I were your management team, I would also want to 'hunt down' you."

Sister Shang waved her hand with a smile: "It's alright, it's alright, let's get started... After I finish this order, I'll go to Iceland. I want to see the Northern Lights in Iceland, and I want to soak in hot springs... Hmm... I want to have fun."

Chi Ye stared at her for a long time before nodding: "Okay, taking a vacation is good too."

……

Holidays are not good.

At least Shang Youshu's company and team are feeling extremely frustrated right now.

Shang Youshu and Chi Ye spoke lightly, but in fact, Shang Youshu's team never gave up on the idea of ​​entering the film industry... They had actually entered before, but then "rolled out".

I still remember when Sister Shang first became famous, her face was so beautiful that she received many invitations and films from big directors.

Her film career has been even smoother than this summer, because she has almost always played the lead role since entering the film industry, rarely playing supporting roles, and many veteran actors in the industry have acted alongside her.

嗏

Perhaps it was a matter of poor judgment on the part of the team, or perhaps it was a matter of superstition; in any case, Shang Jie's film career has been far from successful and has been fraught with difficulties.

Having been famous for nearly ten years, she has not had a single film that she can be proud of. With each failure and flop, the film industry and the audience have naturally lost their fascination with her.

Does that mean you don't want to act in movies anymore?
of course not.

Putting aside the fact that movies are every actor's ultimate pursuit and stage, from a purely commercial perspective, if Shang Jie wants to develop better in the future, she must enter the film industry... In a few years, when she is older, if she still cannot achieve success, she may really fade into obscurity.

Therefore, Shang Jie's team was bewildered, confused, and speechless at the "retaliation" that came "overwhelming" from the film industry after the official announcement of "Goblin"—no, Chi Ye is Chi Ye, if Chi Ye offended you, why are you doing this to my Shang Jie? The film industry also had something to say. First of all, they were not targeting Shang Jie, but Chi Ye doesn't have many friends in the industry, and Shang Jie is indeed one of them.

Secondly, why did you, Shang Youshu, participate in "Girl" in the first place?
It's obvious to anyone that Ikeno Studio had virtually no influence on films back then... Considering the people Ikeno offended, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was negative.

In this situation, you still rush over there. Who would believe you two have no relationship?
Given that Sister Shang's status in the film industry is practically negligible, there's no question of targeting her. Targeting requires an "equal" target, meaning you need to have that status and identity.

Targeting Chi Ye is called discriminatory, but boycotting Shang Youshu is just killing two birds with one stone, a convenient thing to do.

The Shang Jie team was furious, and even Shi Jinwei couldn't stand it—if it weren't for you, would my Shang Jie be like this?

When Sister Pliers received the news, she was also very confused, but she felt a little wronged... After joining the cast of "Goblin", she saw that Ikeno was nowhere to be seen, which made her feel even more aggrieved.

……

The cast and crew of "Goblin".

"The male lead isn't even here, how am I supposed to film this?"

Sister Pliers sat in the RV with an air of superiority, questioning the newly signed director of Chiye Studio.

The director was terrified... Even though Chi Ye was listed ahead of Shi Jinwei, that's still Chi Ye!

It's not surprising at all that he's suppressing Xiao Hua now; didn't you see that Sheng Ning is being suppressed as well?

Therefore, it's perfectly normal for Sister Pliers to be suppressed.

However, her own status and identity are still top-tier in the industry. In addition, Sister Pliers' past "achievements" (the feud with Chu Hanzhou) are still fresh in people's minds, so the director and the entire crew are indeed apprehensive.

"Teacher Shi, President Chi has a movie promotion to do. We've already made plans to film the scenes with the second male and female leads and you first. He'll join the crew once he's done with his work."

"All my scenes are with him. How can I film if he's not there?"

Although Sister Pliers had already prepared for the shoot in private and even had her makeup done, she was still verbally provoking him: "Call him and tell him to come back, or I'll be waiting for him."

director:"……"

"Go make the call."

Shi Jin waved her hand with a "cool" demeanor, her face calm and composed.

"Pliers, have I been too kind to you?"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

Chi Ye led his team over and immediately spotted the pretentious Pliers. He hadn't been in a good mood these past few days, so he pointed at her and said, "I'll give you three seconds. Get down here and film this."

Shi Jinwei: “?!”

When she saw Chi Ye, she felt a strange sense of happiness, but upon hearing his words and seeing so many people around her, she immediately lost her composure and raised her chin, saying, "Chi Ye, be polite to me, I..."

"Can't you get off?"

Chi Ye glanced at her and gestured: "Are you going down or not?"

Shi Jinwei: "..."

She felt a pain in her chest again, and gritted her teeth in anger: "I won't!"

"Come on, someone carry her and the car out of here. I'll find someone else."

Ikeno was not one to tolerate the pliers and waved to greet them.

"Brother Chi, Brother Chi, no, no, no!"

The assistant that Sister Pliers had been eagerly awaiting finally appeared, forcefully pulling Shi Jinwei out of the car and saying, "Sister Shi's makeup is all done, she's just being stubborn... no... let's take pictures, let's take pictures..."

"Let me go, I won't film!"

Shi Jin angrily shook off her assistant's hand.

Seeing this, the assistant thought she was really angry and let go of her.

Shi Jinwei paused slightly, her sapphire blue eyes looking at her assistant in bewilderment: You actually let go?
The assistant was also taken aback: Sister, aren't you really angry?
Chi Ye watched the two of them messing around every day and was a little speechless. He waved for the director and the others to leave first, and then strolled over to Shi Jinwei's side: "Look at you, why do you always make your assistant take the blame?"

"I do not have."

Shi Jin turned slightly to the side, deliberately facing away from Chi Ye, so that Chi Ye could not see her face, while showing off her curvaceous figure.

Ikeno raised an eyebrow: "I'm not in a good mood, can you please not make me feel agitated?"

Pincer Sister, who was still wanting to have a few more rounds with Ikeno, was stunned. She subconsciously lowered her arm and looked at him: "I...I'm not...What's wrong with you?"

Ikeno sighed and rubbed his temples.

"...Is it because I don't act?"

Sister Pliers felt a little guilty, thinking to herself, "Why are you being so stingy... Can I really not film this? I've already memorized all my lines for today..."

“Pliers, huh?” Chi Ye sat on the steps, thought for a moment, and then said, “What do you think these people in the film industry mean?”

Shi Jin was slightly stunned.

"They got upset just because I didn't let them promote the people who acted in my project? Or is it a grudge from the past... I won the award, taking away their prize, and they're unhappy about it?"

After a long silence, Sister Pliers bluntly said, "You've rejected too many people. You rejected everyone without giving anyone face."

Chi Ye looked up at her: "Then do you think I should give it to you?"

Sister Pliers remained silent.

She is a "beneficiary of the system," so what can she say?
She...said the truth: "Actually, you should give it to me."

"I gave him a piece of my mind."

Suddenly, Chi Ye swore, "I'll give them a good beating."

Shi Jin was slightly stunned, and after a long while, she spat out, "What kind of foul language is that... What if someone hears you...?"

"It has indeed been overheard by others."

Ikeno sighed.

Shi Jin glanced back and saw no one else. She instinctively wanted to ask who had heard her, but then she stopped abruptly, her face turning ashen: "You mean me?!"

Ikeno looked at her, speechless.

"...Ikeno, you're...boring, I don't want to talk to you!"

Shi Jinwei originally wanted to say a few words to Chi Ye, but when she remembered that he had just said that he was in a bad mood, she held back and sat silently next to him, feeling very unhappy.

Ikeno didn't ask her why she wasn't leaving; he was genuinely puzzled by things in the film industry...

Of course, it's impossible to say that someone with his mental fortitude would be in great distress.

But... the fact that the screenings of "Girl" were divided up by other big-budget films by famous directors did make this unscrupulous capitalist a little unhappy.

This dissatisfaction soon reached its peak.

Because another major film, which was not originally scheduled for release, chose to release during the National Day holiday, "Girl's" screenings were "taken away" a lot more.

The lead actor and director of this film are acquaintances.

Zhang Guowen and Director Lu.
