Chapter 181 Asking the Blind
The "Empress" mentioned by the four people is Lv Liping, who played Ma Xiuying in "The Big-footed Empress Ma".
The time Liu Tianqi picked was just right. Lv Liping was in a very good mood recently. After entertaining the four people, she warmly invited them to have dinner before leaving.
This attitude encouraged both Liu Tianqi and Yang Suo.
In order to leave a good impression on Teacher Lu, Liu Tianqi took the initiative to take on the task of cooking and asked Fan Yan to help her. She arranged for Yang Suo and Jiang Xin to go to the nearby market to buy cooked food and cold dishes.
Unfortunately, even after Yang Suo and Jiang Xin came back, Liu Tianqi still hadn't found a suitable opportunity to "cry" to Lv Liping about his recent predicament.
Never mind. There is no need to rush. I will leave a good impression on Teacher Lu first and then I can do it alone later...
"Teacher Lu, can I take up a moment of your time?"
Liu Tianqi was comforting himself when he suddenly heard Yang Suo's timid voice.
She subconsciously poked her head out of the kitchen and saw Yang Suo said to Lv Liping with a nervous look on his face: "There is something I want you to help me with."
Liu Tianqi opened his mouth unconsciously.
All she said were my words!
It was not until Lv Liping took Yang Suo to the study that Liu Tianqi recovered from her shock. She was anxious and itchy, and she wanted to lie down at the door of the study to eavesdrop and see what Yang Suo was up to. Could he be like her and want to ask Teacher Lv for help to introduce resources? !
But Jiang Xin was humming a song and arranging dishes in the living room, and Fan Yan was in the kitchen. Even though Liu Tianqi was extremely anxious, he did not dare to run over and eavesdrop in front of the two of them.
At this time, Fan Yan reminded him quietly: "You'd better keep an eye on the pot first, don't burn it by accident."
There is indeed a risk of "burning" the food fried in the pan, but Liu Tianqi always felt that Fan Yan's words were a double entendre.
She picked up the spatula and stir-fried it a few times in frustration. The more she thought about it, the more it didn't taste right. She couldn't help but retort, "At least I can still fry it well, unlike some people who can only cook it half-cooked."
Fan Yan smiled slightly and did not answer.
Among the four, she has the most seniority. She started playing supporting roles in the crew in 91, but she has been standing still for more than ten years and has lost her ambitions.
Soon, seeing that the dishes were almost done, Liu Tianqi turned off the gas stove and the range hood. The kitchen suddenly became quiet, with only the faint sound of Jiang Xin's humming coming from outside: "Those who have put down their burdens, please follow me. Let's spread the word and build a happy era. To which era does happiness belong? The 70s, 80s, 90s or Generation Y..."
Listening to the cheerful song, Liu Tianqi couldn't feel happy at all.
Yang Suo, who seemed the most indecisive, sought help from Teacher Lu earlier than himself; and Jiang Xin, who seemed the most heartless, had the best career path.
why?
Why? !
At the same time, in the study.
"Yes, it's a story about seven fairies, and we each play one of the fairies."
"Seven fairies?"
Lv Liping's heart skipped a beat. When Xu Kun came to her house a few days ago, he mentioned that Huo Siyan and Jiang Yiyan were filming "The Seven Fairies", playing the leading and second female roles respectively in the drama.
Could it be that……
"Yes, yes, it's called 'The Seven Joyful Fairies'!"
Yang Suo looked at Lv Liping with admiration, thinking that Teacher Lv really had a wide network of contacts and even the TV series filmed in Jiangxi could not be hidden from her eyes and ears.
However, Lv Liping looked hesitant. She had originally prepared to come up with a set of "great, glorious and correct" excuses. After all, if she really instigated Yang Suo to do whatever he wanted, and Yang Suo spread the news and said that she was the one who instigated him, it would be a big trouble.
But since this matter is related to Mr. Xu...
After hesitating for a long time, Lv Liping sighed helplessly: "To be honest, I've been a little confused recently."
Upon hearing this, Yang Suo's eyes widened, thinking to himself, Teacher Lu, at your age and status, it's not appropriate for you to go... "What are you thinking!"
Lü Liping saw through her thoughts and rebuked her guiltily, “I am just confused by your youthful affairs—just a while ago, a coal boss from Shanxi found me and said that he wanted me to make another play similar to “Big Foot Queen Ma”.
The investment and salary were doubled, with one condition: the heroine must be a girl he kept as a sponsor—the girl was only 19 years old, graduated from a technical secondary school, and had never studied acting! "
Yang Suo was not surprised at all to hear this. Since the second half of last year, there have been more and more similar news. In addition to Hong Kong and Taiwan capital, the film and television industry has seen the emergence of another wealthy coal capital.
Hong Kong and Taiwan capital now mainly supports male actors, while coal bosses are focused on supporting mistresses.
Lv Liping sighed again: "When we were filming in the past, we used the country's money. Even if there were some calculations in private, it was always fair on the surface, and the competition was not so fierce. But now...
Male actors are fine, but there are too many female actors and they are mixed together. Except for those who are gifted and lucky, I really don’t know how you young girls can grow up steadily. "
Yang Suo nodded subconsciously as he listened, feeling bitter in his heart.
This circle is so competitive. The threshold seems very high, yet it also seems so low that anyone can come in and take a step forward.
If Yang Suo had not witnessed the chaos in the industry with his own eyes, how could he have been so shaken that he needed to seek guidance from a senior expert?
but……
Yang Suo was still confused and asked hesitantly, "So, you think it's not a big deal for young actresses to take shortcuts?"
"I didn't say that."
Lv Liping shook her head and said, "I just think that although this behavior is wrong, it is pitiable. Alas, if you can walk the right path, who would want to do those crooked ways?"
Yang Suo nodded again.
But Lü Liping added, "But you have to open your eyes and watch carefully. Don't be fooled by empty words, or you will end up losing your wife and your army."
"That's not the case. He is right..."
Yang Suo was halfway through his speech when he realized that he had revealed his true colors. He hurriedly tried to make amends, "I mean, I, I, I, I don't plan to go astray, I, I, I, I..."
Seeing that she couldn't speak clearly, Lv Liping waved her hand kindly and said, "We were just chatting casually, how can I go out and say something nonsense?"
Yang Suo breathed a sigh of relief and left the study room with many thanks.
As a result, when he went out, he was met with Liu Tianqi's scrutinizing gaze. Yang Suo had something on his mind, so he subconsciously turned his head away.
This little bastard really wants to steal my opportunity!
Liu Tianqi was secretly resentful upon seeing this. Seeing that Yang Suo went to the living room, she gritted her teeth and was about to go into the study to pour out her heart to Teacher Lu and express her determination.
bang~
As a result, at this moment, the door of the study was suddenly closed and then locked with a click.
It turned out that after Lv Liping sent Yang Suo away, she couldn't wait to lock the door and call Xu Kun.
"Hey, Kun'er, where are you now?"
"There's no one around me."
Then Xu Kun said on the other end of the phone: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"What's going on between you and Yang Yu?"
"What's going on? And who is Yang Suo?"
