Chapter 286 The In-Depth Argument: Sheng Ning and Teacher Shi
Director Lu felt that he had been having a run of bad luck lately... no, ever since Chi Ye became famous.

He felt that the key point of this "Weibo battle" was not that he couldn't help but go crazy, but that Weibo was clearly in cahoots with Chi Ye.

As the saying goes, one's stance determines one's position—no matter what I say, it might all be wrong.

Director Lu felt very wronged. He watched as he and "Bureau 749" were attacked online, and his heart was breaking. In the end, he made up his mind to unleash his "ultimate weapon"—Peng Chen.

Ahem... Old Yang has already given him a demonstration once. Isn't Yu Yan the best scapegoat for "The Fortress of Shanghai"?

Since that's the case, Peng Chen, don't blame me. Blame your old captain for being too arrogant... I had no choice but to do this to protect myself.

Thinking this, he opened the Weibo editing box, just about to write the classic line, "I, Lu Chuan, have misused Peng Chen."

result--

@Lu Chuan, you have a message to follow.

Director Lu saw the notification that the account he was following had posted a new Weibo post, so he clicked on it and saw that Peng Chen had just posted an article a minute earlier.

Title: [I Mistakenly Played the Role in "Bureau 749"]

Main text: [Being an actor can be really frustrating sometimes, because you can't just play whatever role you want. You need to communicate with the behind-the-scenes team and brainstorm ideas with the creative team. "749 Bureau" is a great movie; at least when I first received the script, it was a great story.]

From joining the crew to filming and then to wrapping up, I was in a state of high excitement. To be honest, it was hard to spare any energy to think about anything else. After seeing the final cut, I had some doubts. Perhaps this is another way that Director Lu pursues and expresses his art.

But no matter what, being able to participate in "Bureau 749" was my good fortune, and it will be a precious asset for me for the rest of my life.

Please stop the insults. If you think the film is bad, come at me, not Director Lu. My acting skills still need improvement; I definitely have many shortcomings in my acting career.

[—Peng Chen's Confession.]

……

Lao Peng is such a shrewd guy.

Putting aside the tragic case of Yu Yan, even if this weren't the case, his "sensitivity" has proven itself not only in the case of Old Baby, but also in his career.

Before Director Lu could shift the blame, he had already done so, and then he acted as if to say, "I had no choice, but I am guilty. Don't blame others, come at me."

I don't know how others felt after seeing this Weibo post, but Lu Chuan's eyes were already red and her gaze was about to burst.

"You son of a bitch, Peng, is this how you repay your mentor?!"

He gritted his teeth, feeling deeply insulted.

Yes, Ikeno kept pushing him in every way, even his wife wanted him to look and take the form of Ikeno, but he found it acceptable... because Ikeno had already reached that level.

But Peng Chen…who is Peng Chen?
Previously, she had been groveling before him like a dog, and in order to get into the Beijing social circle, she would have come to pay her respects and kowtow to him every morning.

Now, even wicked servants dare to devour their masters?!
It is unbearable.

He was so angry he was trembling all over, and he actually started arguing with Peng Chen on Weibo: [@Peng Chen, have some shame! You've really lost all sense of right and wrong in your acting. Honestly, with your pathetic acting skills, how dare you try to shift the blame?]

Peng Chen: “???!”

He was extremely shocked by Director Lu's candid remarks. At the same time, he suddenly realized that Director Lu might have gone mad, actually hurling insults at him on a public platform.

Then he...

He can't be like Director Lu.

No matter how famous Director Lu is, he is a behind-the-scenes director who does not rely on exposure for a living. But he is different; he is an artist and a celebrity. Even casually wandering around can damage his reputation, let alone casually spouting nonsense.

Therefore, after he was furious, he didn't dare to respond to Director Lu's affectionate nickname. Instead, he immediately called Old Baby.

"Sis, look at him, he's insulting me!"

"Okay, okay, Chenchen, don't be angry. I'll go and help you get revenge."

Since this was a turning point in Peng Chen's career, Old Baby was naturally very concerned. At this moment, she was also very angry about Lu Chuan's idea of ​​shifting the blame to the actors when things went wrong. After comforting her young husband, she immediately began to use her connections to fight with Director Lu.

The twists and turns of this period are destined to be unseen by those outside the industry, but the spectacle of the director and male lead of "Bureau 749" shifting blame to each other and then arguing on Weibo still ignited the trending topics tonight.

—To be honest, how long has it been since we've seen anything like this in the Chinese entertainment industry? It just goes to show that the world is getting more and more abnormal; being forgotten can really drive you crazy.

……

"Brother Chi, we've arrived."

Capital, Ikeno Studio.

The driver parked the car, and Coco greeted him softly.

Chi Ye held his phone and typed rapidly: "Wait a minute, I'll go after him first."

Coco was taken aback: "Huh?"

Chi Ye looked up and explained, "Didn't Peng Chen say that we should come at him if anything happened? I'll come at him."

cocoa:"……"

"Brother, your status is different now. Every word and action of yours will be magnified by those with ulterior motives. You can't afford to act recklessly."

Chi Ye grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'll just send him a private message and curse him out to vent my anger. He won't dare to post it out on my public account."

cocoa:"……"

"Let's go see our dear 'sister'."

Chi Ye put down his phone, got out of the car, and saw a very beautiful woman sitting inside.

Sheng Ning.

This Spring Festival, Sheng Ning did not greet Chi Ye. Perhaps she knew that Chi Ye was going to spend the holiday at Jin Xia's house, so she remained relatively silent.

The two only exchanged New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and then lost contact.

Sheng Ning's visit to Chi Ye Studio was mainly due to the overseas promotion of "Flu".

Because "Flu" is different from the films she has starred in before, it has also achieved great success overseas and is currently enjoying great popularity. Therefore, after the fervor of the Chinese New Year season has passed, in order to make it even better and to respond to the "vague" call from above, the creators of "Flu" need to carry out promotion and distribution overseas.

This is also to cooperate with overseas distributors so that both parties can jointly seize greater profits.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Ikeno walked in and greeted everyone in a good mood.

Sheng Ning was on the phone. After seeing him come in, she said a few words and then hung up. She then nodded and said, "You're doing well."

Ikeno paused, glanced at her, and said nothing.

Coco and the others had already tactfully left the room.

"This overseas promotion is an opportunity to increase international brand awareness. You should lead the team."

Chi Ye sat on the sofa and noticed that there were already several slim cigarettes for women in the ashtray. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are they really that good?"

Sheng Ning didn't pay attention to that, and simply asked, "Aren't you going?"

"I have a film that's about to start shooting, and I'm already famous enough, so there's no need for me to go."

Ikeno spoke the truth, but with a touch of arrogance: "But you're different. You weren't famous internationally before, so this is a good opportunity for you."

"..."

Sheng Ning's phoenix eyes showed no emotion, but she felt a strange awkwardness and unease in her heart—when did Chi Ye become able to "talk" to her from this perspective...it seems like he could have done it a long time ago.

The dominance of "Flu" during the Spring Festival and overseas is a career highlight for Chi Ye, and a "leap over the dragon gate" for Sheng Ning as well.
As Chi Ye said, compared to Sheng Ning's previous international and Southeast Asian fame, she is far weaker in this regard. Outside of China, probably very few people would recognize her.

Before this, her situation in China was also "extremely difficult" - she was turned away several times when trying to enter the film industry, and was later directly blacklisted by the Beijing film circle.

Although it's hard to admit, among the young actresses of the same generation, Shang Youshu has long surpassed him in terms of achievements and fame.

However, her team and fans have been stubbornly refusing to admit it, and outside fans and casual observers prefer impressions, which is why she has been able to maintain the gimmick of being the "top of the four little actresses".

Well… "Girl" greatly boosted Shang Youshu's popularity, almost completely reviving her previous reputation as a box office poison and her lack of hit works in recent years.

Although Shang Jie's team is laid-back, they are not stupid. Taking advantage of this trend, various old-fashioned concepts of "white moonlight" have been revived and everyone is dreaming back to the era of "Fairy Sister". Their popularity is unparalleled among many young actresses.

Although... she herself was indeed experiencing both pain and pleasure.

Hey.

The sound of the coffee machine stopped Sheng Ning's thoughts. She stared at the man in front of her. Ever since the night of screaming, when she saw him again, it was as if he would never be flustered or feel inferior or timid.

He was completely different from the "younger brother" she remembered.

But a certain feeling within me seems very "same".

For example... his favorite drink is always chilled lemonade, and his favorite temperature is always a little over 24 degrees Celsius.

"Okay, I'll go."

She silently accepted the coffee and nodded in response.

Ikeno sat down opposite her again, and the two stared at each other, seemingly having nothing in common except for work.

"..."

"Um…"

Sheng Ning felt increasingly unwell, and she opened her mouth as if to say something.

Suddenly, Ikeno asked, "Do you have any news about... your parents?"

Sheng Ning was taken aback, then lowered her head, a rare display of emotion: "No."

"died?"

"...?"

filial piety.

But it seems we really should show some filial piety.

At this moment, Chi Ye was thinking about the situation of this trip to the old lady's house. If they were really going to talk about marriage, they would need a relative, right?
I can't really be an orphan, am I an orphan?
"How was your visit to... Jin Xia's house this time?"

Perhaps because Chi Ye spoke first, Sheng Ning felt less awkward and took the initiative to ask a question.

This was the answer she most wanted after leaving Ikeno.

"It's alright, everything's fine."

Chino nodded and said frankly, "It does feel a bit complicated. This kind of family definitely wouldn't look down on me."

Sheng Ning: "...They're not high and mighty. I don't know if you know...In her generation, there aren't many people in her family who can hold their own. The most promising one is her father, but given his age and current position...it's hard for him to advance further."

Chi Ye remained silent, glancing at Sheng Ning with surprise for a few moments before asking curiously, "How do you know so much?"

Sheng Ning said expressionlessly, "We used to be rivals. I dared to badmouth her, so naturally I'm not afraid of her."

She paused, then added, "Her family won't get involved in anything in the entertainment industry. First, they're worried about the impact, and second, if they get involved now, her future career prospects will be even smaller. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Whether we care or not, what does it have to do with us?"

Ikeno didn't care.

Sheng Ning paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, it really doesn't matter much."

After saying that, she seemed to realize that she had said too much today and had made a fool of herself in front of Chi Ye. She finished her coffee, stood up and said, "Alright, I came here to confirm the overseas promotion with you. Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Chi Ye looked her over and over, paused for two seconds, and then suddenly said, "I'm spending the New Year with everyone else today, leaving you all alone. You don't hate me, do you?"

Sheng Ning scoffed, "I'm not the kind of person who can't stand seeing others do well, so you don't have to think of me as such a bad person... although, I am indeed not a good person."

Chiye was silent.

"I'm leaving...see you later."

Sheng Ning picked up her bag, straightened her back, and walked gracefully out of Chi Ye Studio in her high heels.

Chino stared at her back, his feelings inexplicable.

Click.

The door suddenly opened.

Teacher Shi quietly carried a thermos and glanced at it as she walked in.

"What are you looking for?"

"Where is Sister Sheng... Ning?"

"Just left."

After saying that, Chi Ye asked curiously, "When did you meet her? What do you want with her?"

Given Teacher Shi's personality, is it really possible for her to get along with Sheng Ning?

Shouldn't we be bullied to death?

Teacher Shi glanced at him and explained softly, "I don't know her, but she's been waiting for you here since six in the morning and hasn't eaten. I was thinking... to get her something to eat."

"what."

Chino suddenly realized, "You're here so early? Why didn't you tell me?"

"...Do you know you have a habit of not replying to WeChat messages?"

Ikeno: "...I'm really not sure."

Seeing that everyone had left, Teacher Shi stopped looking and picked up the thermos to head out.

"Hey, where are you going? I haven't eaten yet."

Chino called out to her, "Since we're already here, we can't waste it. I'll reluctantly try it for her."

Teacher Shi paused, then turned around, walked to his side, and put down the thermos: "Eat."

Chi Ye said with some dissatisfaction, "Why do I feel like you have a problem with me as your boss now? Xiao Shi, if you have a problem, just say it. Anyway, I'm not going to change it."

Teacher Shi: “…”

Chino usually teases Rōshi. Rōshi is like dough; as long as you don't go too far, no matter how you knead and shape her, she won't resist.

Of course, if you really want to do something exciting, you can try taking advantage of her.

But if you did that, your hand would probably be broken by a pair of "iron fists" before you even reached out.
