"Lin Fengyi."
"Qin Xi'er."
Tang Guo and Liu Liu Ling said in unison.
Li Yang facepalmed. The two of them weren't on the same level, yet they could still chat. They were truly impressed.
Li Yang asked, "Didn't they announce that the male lead will be played by Li Zhe?"
Liu Xin wanted to explain, but Tang Guo snatched it away from him. "Aiyo, that's so simple. It's a switch."
Even though she said it, she didn't say it. She didn't manage to explain the main point, so Liu Liu Liu almost rolled her eyes at Tang Guo.
Hearing what Tang Guo'er said, Li Yang became even more curious, "Why would someone change for Lin Fengyi?" Didn't she cause a ruckus with Chen Jingyao recently? "
As he spoke to here, he seemed to have suddenly understood something. "Could it be that the film crew wants to borrow Lin Fengyi's scandal to raise the popularity of" Young Master "to a whole new level?"
Tang Guo'er was confused, as she had no idea what Li Yang was talking about.
Liu Liu nodded, "Yes, and he acted together with Qin Xi'er. Didn't the rumors spread that the two of them were on bad terms with each other?"
"Besides, everyone is looking forward to the two of them acting opposite each other. They're about to become husband and wife in real life, and they're going to be a couple in the movie. This kind of melodrama is loved by the audience …"
Li Yang finally understood. This time, Lin Fengyi's misfortune was a blessing in disguise.
Qin Xi'er and Lin Fengyi were not related by drama, on the contrary, the two of them had never acted in the same drama before. They met at a party and became lovers.
Initially, Qin Xi'er's popularity was on par with Lin Fengyi's. However, after he had starring in a transcendence drama, his popularity had instantly exploded, surpassing Lin Fengyi's in an instant. Since then, the drama between the two of them had not been on the same level.
Qin Xi'er's devotion was acknowledged by everyone.
Although everyone wanted the two of them to act together, "Young Master" had still won over Li Zhe.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fengyi's words had completely garnered everyone's attention. In addition, Qin Xi'er was at the side, and the crew naturally switched Li Zhe to Lin Fengyi, not to mention that Lin Fengyi's acting was very good and his reputation in the industry was considered first-rate.
Tang Guo'er scrutinized Li Yang for a moment before blinking and saying, "In fact, I've always wanted to say that I feel that Li Yang looks very similar to Qin Xi'er …"
Tang Guo'er's words made Li Yang feel as if his heart had been struck by something.
"Is that so?" She laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly and lowered her eyes a little, allowing her expression to be relatively calm.
She didn't know why, but recently she felt more and more disgusted with people who said she looked like Qin Xi'er.
Tang Guo'er nodded her head like she was pounding garlic. "It's true!"
Tang Guo'er was still talking about how she and Qin Xi'er were the most similar. The willow tree seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Li Lang's mood, so it reached out its hand and pinched her.
Her eyes were filled with tears from the pain. "Willow, why are you pinching me?"
The willow tree did not speak and just winked at her.
Tang Guo'er asked worriedly, "Liu Liu, what's wrong with your eyes?" "Are you not feeling well?"
This little idiot! Liu Liu Liu felt like she was about to faint from anger. "Shut up."
Tang Guo'er looked at Liu Gan for a long time before she finally understood. She obediently shut her mouth and didn't say anything else.
At that moment, Li Yang's cell phone rang. The word "Xiao Ya" jumped happily on it.
Li Yang took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and politely called out, "Sister Xiao Ya."
Fu Xiaoya's voice was still as crisp as usual. "I'll be right back at the company."
Before Li Yang could reply, Fu Xiaoya had already hung up the phone. She had no choice but to change her clothes, bid Tang Guo'er and Liu Liu Liu farewell and left the house.
Along the way, Li Yang had a faint feeling that something was not right. Fu Xiaoya ignored him for many days. She had just returned from H City, yet he already called her and told her to go to the company?
Li Yang couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it. In the end, it was just a coincidence.
Starlight Agency.
Li Yang walked to Fu Xiaoya's office and knocked on the door. Fu Xiaoya turned around and said, "Come in."
Li Yang sat down opposite Fu Xiaoya and asked, "Sister Xiao Ya, why are you looking for me?"
Fu Xiaoya's eyelids lifted slightly as she glanced at her and asked, "There's been no news for more than ten days. Are you really prepared to default?"
So it was really a coincidence.
Fu Xiaoya had been waiting for her reply. She was overthinking things.
To be honest, she didn't want to violate the contract at all. After all, she didn't have the money to pay for the breach of contract. However, she really didn't want to act out with Qin Xi'er.
Moreover, she had to play the part of her little sister in the movie. It was already awkward enough for her to look alike, but when the time came, they would stand together …
She didn't even dare to imagine what kind of scene it would be.
Seeing Li Yang remain silent, Fu Xiaoya continued, "Are you ready for the penalty fee?"
Li Yang stammered, "Sister Xiao Ya, I don't have any money."
Fu Xiaoya frowned slightly. "You dare not act without money?"
Fu Xiaoya felt that she was getting more and more confused about Li Yang. After her conversation with her the other day, she had thought that she would give her an answer the next day.
There were only two options. To act or to lose money.
Although she couldn't understand why Li Yang was so adamant about not acting, it was clearly such a good opportunity. With her acting skills, she might end up like Qin Xi'er all those years ago.
But she just wouldn't act.
The next day, she did not receive a reply from Li Yang. Instead, she received a call from her boss, telling her not to disturb Li Yang for the next half month.
As a member of this circle, she also roughly understood what was going on. Most likely, Li Yang had taken advantage of a wealthy customer.
But today, her superior had called again and told her to follow the normal procedure and not to treat him specially.
Plus, now that Li Yang said she didn't have the money to pay for the breach of contract, she was really confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Forget it, since the higher-ups have said so, she will just follow her original plan and leave.
In any case, Li Yang had no money to pay the penalty fee, so it would be difficult for him to not act out now. How could he let such a good resource be wasted so easily?
If she didn't look like Qin Xi'er, which just happened to match up with his character, how could such a good opportunity have fallen to a newbie like her?
Yet, she didn't treasure it. It truly was a goosebumps!
"You dare not to act without money?"
Fu Xiaoya's words were the most important part of it all. Li Yang's eyelashes trembled slightly as he subconsciously whispered, "Sister Xiao Ya, farewell ~ ~"
"Don't try this." Fu Xiaoya knew what Li Yang wanted to say, so she interrupted him, "It's useless to ask me for help. There's no room for negotiation. You have to give me an answer now."
There was nothing Li Yang could do about Fu Xiaoya's insistence. The one who had signed the contract was her. At that time, she had only been so focused on making money. She had never considered the day when she would have a relationship with Qin Xi'er.
Since she didn't have the money to pay the penalty fee, she could only brace herself and accept the script. Wasn't this just asking for it?
When Lu Qimu found out about this, who knew how he was going to fly into a rage and take care of her?
Fortunately, he was abroad now and would be back in a few months. When the dust settled, she would not need to pay the penalty fee. Was this considered the luckiest thing in the world?
Li Yang sighed and finally let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, I'll take it."
A huge burden on Fu Xiaoya's heart was finally lifted. Her tone became a little more amiable as well. "Alright, go back and take a look at the script. Prepare to enter the set in half a month's time."
No matter how depressed Li Yang was, he still tried his best to act as if nothing had happened. "Okay, Sister Xiao Ya, I will go back and carefully study it."
"I picked out two ads for you earlier. I'll arrange a time for you to record them and send them to your phone later." Fu Xiaoya thought about it and said, "I'll hire an assistant for you. You don't have to do everything yourself …"
Even though he knew that Fu Xiaoya had her eyes on her, he couldn't feel happy due to the relationship between Lu Qimu and Qin Xi'er. However, he still replied politely, "Thank you!"
As he walked out of Fu Xiaoya's office, Li Yang immediately became listless. He lowered his head and walked forward. Qin Xi'er, ah, how was she to deal with her?
Forget it, I'll just take one step and count it as one step. Otherwise, what else could I do?
Qin Xi'er didn't know her, so it was impossible for her to know that she was the culprit who broke the relationship between her and Lu Qimu five years ago.
Li Yang was so distracted that he accidentally bumped into someone at the corner.
That person was much taller than her, but he was hit until he staggered and almost fell down.
Li Yang raised his head. That person was also looking at her. As their eyes met, his eyes curved into a smile. It was a gentle and bright smile. "Pang'er …"
She was surprised. "Big Brother Chu Chen?"
Mu Yuchen caressed her hair and said, "Pang'er, after you left that day, you said that you'd call me. I've been waiting for a long time …"
When Li Yang saw Lu Qimu's missed call that day, he was so scared that he forgot to ask for Mu Chu Chen's number. Coupled with Lu Chi Mo's anger, he forced her to stay in the car and then followed her to H City.
When she remembered, she didn't have his phone number.
Li Yang felt guilty. "Sorry, I forgot to ask for your number, so …"
Mu Yuchen said with a faint smile, "It's alright, give me your phone."
Li Yang obediently took out his cell phone from his bag.
Mu Chuchen accepted it and entered his phone number into her bank account. Then, he casually dialed her number until his phone rang. Only then, did he give his phone back to her.
"Pang'er, why are you here?"
"Big brother Chu Chen, why are you here?"
Mu Yuchen and Li Yang asked almost at the same time, and then said almost at the same time, "You first."
They really had a tacit understanding! They smiled at each other.
In the end, it was Li Yang who spoke first. "I'm here to pick up a script."
Mu Yuchen asked, "What script?"
Li Yang answered honestly, "'Young Master'."
"What a coincidence!" Mu Yuchen smiled, with curved eyebrows, "Pang'er, you were able to act out the script I wrote. I'm very happy."
