Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 355: Be rude at first but respectful later
What Cheng Xi meant by asking this was naturally that he was ready to give the choice to Yang Caiyu herself.

After all, this matter involves privacy.

The people don't report it, and the officials don't investigate it.

If she wanted to call the police, Cheng Xi would agree even if it would damage the reputation of Zuibai Entertainment.

If he didn't call the police, Cheng Xi would certainly use other methods to teach him a sufficient lesson.

To be honest, Cheng Xi feels a little uncomfortable now.

Not just for this one thing.

Although he knew that the company was big and there were all kinds of people.

Moreover, using unspoken rules is a common practice in the entertainment industry.

But just like that, it happened nakedly in front of me.

It happened in front of people he knew, and so many of his junior and senior classmates from the same academy were watching.

There is a saying that goes, when you see a cockroach, it proves that there are actually many cockroaches in your home.

I am afraid that many such things have happened or are happening in the company.

How should I deal with it?
Cheng Xi will not follow the saying that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, but it must be based on the consent of both parties.

This is a rule that must be followed.

Apparently not today.

And he really hated it, that someone was doing this openly under the Zuibai name.

When Yang Caiyu heard Senior Brother Cheng Xi's question and saw that Lin Zhen's face was bruised and swollen, she was also slapped twice by Cheng Xi.

Now most of the anger in my heart has subsided.

Just now here, I really felt helpless and even scared.

But if I go to the police now and say someone is sexually harassing me, it will probably damage the reputation of Zuibai Entertainment.

That would also harm Senior Brother Cheng Xi.

What's more, this unspoken rule should be known to everyone in the entertainment industry.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen did not succeed and just hugged himself forcefully.

So she looked at Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen also looked at Yang Caiyu with a pleading expression.

Then, looking at Senior Brother Cheng Xi, Yang Caiyu thought again and again and said:
"Brother Cheng, it's okay. Director Lin and I had a misunderstanding just now. We were indeed auditioning."

At this moment, Lin Zhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and shamelessly said:

"Junior sister, this isn't an audition, it's acting advice."

But when he was halfway through his words, Cheng Xi gave him a look that made him swallow back the rest of his words.

When everyone heard this, they all felt that this person was vulgar and shameless.

Cheng Xi even looked at this person for a second and felt that it was polluting his eyes, so he said directly:
"Lin Zhen, apologize to Junior Sister Yang Caiyu."

"Then get out of the entertainment industry forever. Don't let me see you again, otherwise you know the consequences."

When Lin Zhen heard that it was actually an apology, he thought that Cheng Xi wanted to put the overall situation first and make a big deal out of a small matter.

But when he heard the last sentence "Get out of the entertainment industry", his face suddenly fell and he quickly begged for mercy to Cheng Xi:

"Boss, please forgive me. I promise I won't do it again next time."

"It's all my fault this time. Feiyu and I drank too much and ruined everything. It's all my fault."

As he spoke, he slapped himself.

There was blood at the corner of his mouth.

Everyone saw that Director Lin Zhenlin, who was so arrogant before Cheng Xi came, was now so servile that he was about to kneel down in front of Cheng Xi.

I also felt a sense of emotion in my heart.

These high and mighty people are all the same.

He behaved like a decent person, but he just hadn't met anyone who could control him.

Those who are arrogant at first will be respectful later.

"Apologize and get out."

Cheng Xi simply repeated a few words.

When Lin Zhen wanted to explain, Deng Jie immediately said:

"Lin Zhen, if you don't want to be respectful, the company will have to give you respect. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty."

Deng Jie may be a little lamb in front of Cheng Xi, but in the eyes of other people in the company, he is an antenna.

He is the third most important person in the company besides the boss and Mr. Li Wentao.

Lin Zhen and Cheng Xi didn't interact much, and usually just listened to him speak during meetings.

He had dealt with Deng Jie before.

It really means what you say and what you do.

Lin Zhen knew that it was pointless to say more now, and that struggling would only make things worse.

So he had no choice but to say to Yang Caiyu with a sad face:
"Junior Sister Caiyu, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me."

"I'm sorry, everyone!"

Then he bowed to everyone in a pretentious manner.

In fact, what everyone wants to ask is, if your boss hadn’t come, would you still bow?

I'm afraid it's all kinds of national curses!

But Yang Caiyu said nothing.

Just like that, Lin Zhen walked out of the office and B202 in a daze.

He knew that Cheng Xi didn't do anything to him tonight even though everyone was there.

But I’m afraid I can’t stay in the company anymore, or even in the entertainment industry.

Or there might be even worse consequences that he couldn't even imagine.

How could I bully the young actor by using unspoken rules in front of the boss?

He knew too well how powerful Zuibai Entertainment was now.

As a casting director, he has suddenly become a guest of honor for many people recently.

Why is that?
It’s just because he has Zuibai as his big backer.

Wait until Lin Zhen goes out.

The atmosphere in the room was still very tense.

At this moment, Jin Feiyu suddenly apologized to Yang Caiyu:
"Senior Sister Caiyu, I really didn't know Director Lin was such a person. I brought him here this time because I thought he was really here for the casting."

"Yifei can prove this, but no matter what, I brought the person here. I'm sorry, everyone."

Then he recounted everything that had happened at the party to prove his ignorance.

Cheng Xi just glanced at him briefly:
"You're the one who brought him here, right? I've just learned about the situation. Please leave now, and keep your eyes open next time."

"If I hadn't seen you attack so quickly and fiercely just now, I wouldn't have said a word to you."

When Jin Feiyu heard what Cheng Xi said, he was stunned.

Looking at Cheng Xi's eyes and Deng Jie beside him, he knew that they didn't believe him.

At least I think I am at fault.

Jin Feiyu knew in his heart that his purpose of coming here was not simple, but he did not expect Lin Zhen to be so tactless.

After drinking a little bit of wine and with so many people flattering him, he thought he could do anything.

He didn't even notice the obvious rejection and still wanted to force it.

When Jin Feiyu thought about this, he knew that it was not easy to fool everyone and that any extra explanations would be useless.

Cheng Xi has already set the tone for him.

So he looked at Wang Yifei again, said "I'm sorry", and left angrily.

As he walked, he cursed:

"This dog named Lin killed me!"

"Forget about sharing a dormitory. Lian Yifei is out of luck now! What a mess!"

After two of them left, the remaining one was in an extremely awkward situation.

It's the woman with heavy makeup.

"Well, Director Cheng, I'm sorry everyone, I'm leaving too."

After saying that, the heavily made-up woman immediately took a few steps back, and she was obviously unsteady in her high heels.

It's no wonder she was panicking. Lin Zhen was banned, and not only would she lose her role, she would also be likely to be the target of resentment.

I'm really unlucky.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Xi suddenly said:
"Wait a minute. What role did Lin Zhen promise you?"

When the heavily made-up woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment and stopped.

Then he immediately turned around and said:
"Director Cheng, it's the role you just mentioned."

After saying that, he looked at Cheng Xi nervously.

She didn't know why Cheng Xi called her down, but at least the situation wouldn't get worse.

When Cheng Xi heard her say this, he looked her up and down seriously:
"Make an expression as if you've seen your loved one you haven't seen in a long time."

The heavily made-up woman did as she was told and smiled sweetly and innocently.

"Your beloved tells you he has a wife."

The heavily made-up woman's smile faded, and her happy expression suddenly turned into a hint of bitterness at the corner of her mouth, but her expression was still firm as she looked at Cheng Xi.

It was as if he was the unfaithful man. "He's willing to divorce for you."

The heavily made-up woman smiled, but this smile was much more restrained than the innocent one just now.

It can be seen that he has some thoughts and other ideas, and is no longer the simple him he used to be.

Cheng Xi didn't expect that this actor had such good basic skills.

Her facial expression management under heavy makeup reached Cheng Xi's standards.

When everyone saw this heavily made-up woman, they always looked down on her.

Because they all knew that she graduated from the college's vocational class and got a role through unspoken rules.

But now the performance has made everyone realize that it is really difficult to survive in the entertainment industry.

It doesn’t matter if you have good looks and acting skills, you still have to make the people above you happy.

Cheng Xi saw that he had tried almost everything, so he said:
"This role is still yours. You have good acting skills. I hope you can polish it well. I will keep an eye on you."

When the heavily made-up woman heard what Cheng Xi said, she actually started laughing and crying.

It seems like I got what I had been waiting for for a long time, but also lost a lot.

"Thank you, thank you Director Cheng. I will remember your encouragement."

Cheng Xi nodded and smiled gently:

"I know the path of an actor is not easy, so I should plan well for my future."

"Deng Jie, add her on WeChat. By the way, what's your name?"

The heavily made-up woman finally stopped crying and said:

"Director Cheng, my name is Tang Jingmei."

"Okay, I remember."

In fact, Cheng Xi had planned from the beginning to give her the role that Lin Zhen had promised her.

She saw the whole thing happen and had to keep in touch to ensure that it didn't leak out.

The temporary test of acting skills was, of course, to make her think that it was due to her acting skills.

And Cheng Xi didn't lie, his acting skills are indeed pretty good.

Now that she has this important supporting role to play, it depends on her own development in the future.

After Deng Jie added her on WeChat, he took her alone and gave her a few words of advice before sending her out.

When Tang Jingmei went out, she looked back at Cheng Xi several times.

A look of reluctance on his face.

Watching him talk eloquently, the decisions he made were all final and full of power.

The man she had previously fawned over was nothing in front of him.

He is also the man who is always at the center of the crowd, as if he is covered with a layer of arc light.

"Thank you, Director Cheng."

"I'll do my best!"

Wait until all three of them leave.

The atmosphere in the room was noticeably better.

Cheng Xi suddenly smiled and said:

"I want to apologize to everyone as well. Caiyu, you won't blame me, will you?"

Of course Yang Caiyu wouldn't.

She had seen the notes passed between her senior and Nazha in class.

She still clearly remembers those two sentences:

【Attend class well, or I will punish you. 】

Eat beef first, then eat lollipop.

After watching it, she kept thinking that it would be better if her senior brother punished her instead.

This is also the main reason why she doesn't want to make a big deal out of it today.

"I can't. If my senior brother hadn't come to save me, I don't know what would have happened."

Meng Ziyi, Lin Zi and others also echoed.

Cheng Xi: "By the way, Caiyu, I forgot to tell you a good news."

"You all know about 'Nothing But Thirty'. The female lead is definitely Zhang Tianai, and the third female lead is Mao Xiaotong."

"And the role of the second female lead, Gu Jia."

When he said this, Cheng Xi paused for a moment and looked directly at Yang Caiyu:
"I've already booked you for the afternoon."

When Yang Caiyu heard this, she quickly covered her mouth and said after a while:
"Brother, is this true?"

The reason she couldn't believe it was, of course, that Cheng Xi had never given her a role.

At most, Nazha played one or two supporting roles.

Unexpectedly, it’s the second female lead!

And it’s the drama “Nothing But Thirty”.

What she knew was that the other two dramas, "Day and Night" and "Yu Zui", were being prepared to be made into online dramas and broadcast on Zuibai Video.

"Nothing But Thirty" will be broadcast on satellite TV, and it will be a major TV station.

Just now, I was almost forced to have sex with a supporting actress, but I didn't expect to be hit by such a big surprise.

However, she suddenly realized that this was something her senior brother said on the spur of the moment to shut her up.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Not only did she think so, but everyone present was also envious and had the same question in their minds.

Some girls even regretted why they were not the first to go in.

Cheng Xi also seemed to see the doubts of Yang Caiyu and everyone else.

So he glanced at Deng Jie.

Deng Jie knew what the boss meant as soon as he saw his expression.

So she took out the WeChat picture that Cheng Xi sent her in the afternoon.

The picture shows the casting of several important characters in "Nothing But Thirty".

And looking at the notes with flying dragons and snakes, it was obviously written by Cheng Xi himself.

At this time, everyone looked at Yang Caiyu with pure envy.

"Don't worry, act well, I'm counting on you."

"However, the girl just now is acting as Youyou, but she is your love rival. Don't let your acting be outdone by her."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cheerful.

Yang Caiyu was also amused by Senior Brother Cheng Xi.

So he said:

"Don't worry, brother, I won't. I'm confident about this!"

After saying this, everyone laughed in good faith.

Of course, no one has the heart to play Werewolf now.

So Cheng Xi suggested that everyone go out to sing KTV to vent.

This proposal was agreed by everyone.

Everyone said:
"Brother Cheng, we want to hear you sing"

"Yeah, you wrote so many songs, you must be good at singing them too."

They misunderstood Cheng Xi on this point. Cheng Xi was tone-deaf in his previous life and hasn't made much progress now.

It's just a normal KTV level.

Deng Jie immediately arranged a car and added everyone present on WeChat.

I plan to assign them more or less some roles to shut everyone up.

Those who are in the directing department can come in and do some internship as stagehands.

But unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the bishop's building, I met a man running out.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Lin Zhen.

His previously meticulous hairstyle was now messy, and a "川" character appeared on his forehead.

He chased Cheng Xi all the way, explaining, begging for mercy, and promising that there would never be a next time.

He had just given up trying to struggle, but thinking about the consequences, he wanted to beg Cheng Xi again.

Cheng Xi simply ignored him.

Instead, he got into a car with Yang Caiyu, Meng Ziyi, Lin Zi and others.

Lin Zhen also took the risk and actually ran after the car for several minutes.

The way he couldn't catch up in the end and shouted "Director Cheng" was clearly seen by the people in the car and the people behind, and they couldn't help but feel emotional.

Especially Wang Yifei who had dinner with him in the evening:
Is this the arrogant Director Lin just now?
Director Lin holding his hand?

Director Lin, the one who flattered and toasted Jin Feiyu?

Alas, this person deserves it.

If I had known this, why did I have to?
