Chapter 133 Will Tao Jing leave?
By the time Gu Rong finished filming, the roasted sweet potatoes that Tao Jing brought to Gu Rong were already cold.
Tao Jing was afraid that Gu Rong would have diarrhea after eating it, so she could only throw away the roasted sweet potatoes.
Tao Jing asked Gu Rong if he was hungry.
At this moment, Gu Rong realized that his stomach was indeed growling, so he nodded.
Tao Jing said: "I'll ask Ziyu to come over, and we'll have dinner together later."
Gu Rong's eyes showed surprise, Ziyu, Jiang Ziyu.
It turns out that Tao Jing and Jiang Ziyu knew each other.
Pei Tiantian said from the side: "Brother Gu Rong, you didn't expect that Jiang Ziyu is my godmother's high school classmate!"
Gu Rong, however, had no energy, and there was a trace of visible fatigue on his face. It seemed that he was really tired.
Pei Tiantian felt a little distressed. It was because she wanted the 200 yuan from this free agent that she forced Gu Rong over.
“Brother Gu Rong, if you are too tired from filming, we will not act.”
Gu Rong raised his eyes and glanced at her, and was about to speak. At this moment, the set manager came over and told them that if Gu Rong agreed to take this role, there would be two or three scenes to be filmed, and the total compensation would be 3,000 yuan.
As soon as these words came out, Pei Tiantian swallowed back what she wanted to say.
Pei Tiantian thought for a moment.
Since this role was chosen by the director, and it was not snatched away from the heroine by the villain, why not play it?
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to make some money?
Pei Tiantian said quickly: "Brother Gu Rong, since Director Qi has taken a fancy to you, this can be regarded as a kind of fate. If we don't continue filming, wouldn't we be sorry for your hard work today?"
Gu Rong: “…”
He knew that she was a little money-crazy, and her face changed immediately when she heard about money.
Tao Jing: "Gu Rong, are you willing? Although the director has chosen you, if you really don't like it, then I will tell the director and ask them to find someone else."
Gu Rong shook his head, "No need, Teacher Tao, there won't be many scenes in the future anyway, I'm willing to shoot."
Gu Rong knew that three thousand yuan was not a small amount of money, and he was naturally willing to have the opportunity to make money.
Jiang Ziyu came over and saw Tao Jing talking to Gu Rong. She was a little surprised: "It turns out you brought this child. What a coincidence!"
Tao Jing said: "I didn't expect such a coincidence. People from your crew stopped us on the roadside and wanted Gu Rong and Tiantian to be the temporary actors. It turned out that this crew was the crew you filmed. It was the same crew as the last one. It was only a few months ago that we met, and I didn’t even know you had accepted Qi An’s movie during this period.”
Jiang Ziyu smiled mysteriously, "Actually, Director Qi didn't want to choose me at the beginning. I only received this script by chance, so we have done a good job of keeping it secret."
“Who did Director Qi want to choose before?”
"Yao Li, you know, her schedule was bumped up. It is said that her new movie will be cooperated with Hollywood, so she gave up the domestic movie. I was able to star in director Qi's movie, but I was missed."
Tao Jing naturally knows who the famous Yao Li is. The Chinese stars who have been committed to developing abroad in the past two years are following the path of international superstars.
He is also a star who makes headlines in newspapers every day.
Although Jiang Ziyu is very popular now, her popularity and influence are far inferior to that of Yao Li. No wonder Qi An values Yao Li more.
But in Tao Jing's opinion, Jiang Ziyu's acting skills are no worse than Yao Li's, "This is a good opportunity for you. Which of Director Qi's films is not going to win awards? I believe you can perform better than Yao Li." 's better.”
Jiang Ziyu naturally heard that Tao Jing was telling the truth. She smiled slightly and said: "I don't dare to expect too much. Being able to star in Director Qi's movie is a dream come true. Many actors in China have to work with Qi for no salary." I’m still a heroine in the director’s movie, and I’m much better than them.”
Pei Tiantian heard Jiang Ziyu talking from the side and found that Jiang Ziyu was a gentle and quiet beauty on the surface, but she was very lively and had a cheerful temperament. She didn't know why she suffered from depression later.
Since Jiang Ziyu is only briefly mentioned in the novel, Pei Tiantian really doesn’t know much about Jiang Ziyu’s specific experience.
Jiang Ziyu: "However, we don't have high hopes for the box office of this movie. After all, it is not a commercial movie, the subject matter is very niche, and it was made specifically to win awards, so the commercial results may not be very good."
Tao Jing: "It's great to win an award. Besides, the movie hasn't been finished yet, so maybe it will hit the box office too."
Jiang Ziyu smiled and nodded, "You're right, just in case."
At this time, Jiang Ziyu's assistant came over and put on a coat for her. Jiang Ziyu asked the assistant to drive the car over, and then said to Tao Jing and the others, "I just came to the Jade Market a few days ago, but I heard people talking about the Jade Market before. There’s a restaurant here that’s really delicious, let’s go there for dinner tonight.”
Tao Jing: "Okay."
Jiang Ziyu asked Tao Jing and others to get into his car, while his assistant drove in the driver's seat until their car slowly drove to a familiar place.
Pei Tiantian looked out of the car window. Didn't the sign above read "Imperial Kitchen"?
Wow, the reputation of the Imperial Kitchen Room has become so great now that even Jiang Ziyu has heard of it.
Pei Tiantian smiled cheerfully.
Not bad, this is the effect I want.
Tao Jing also discovered that the person who came was the restaurant owned by Xie Jiagui.
After following Jiang Ziyu out of the car, I immediately saw two acquaintances working in the restaurant, Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan.
As soon as Zhou Wanhong saw Pei Tiantian and the others, she welcomed them in with a smile, "Teacher Tao."
Tao Jing: "Sister-in-law Pei and Second Sister-in-law Pei, are you busy now?"
Wan Cuilan said: "If you're not busy, I'll take you to sit inside."
Pei Tiantian greeted Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan sweetly, and of course Xie Jiagui and Zhong Xiuying.
As soon as Xie Jiagui saw them, he smiled: "I didn't expect that all the people who came here are acquaintances."
Jiang Ziyu looked at Tao Jing with some surprise, Tao Jing pointed at Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan and said: "These two are Tiantian's eldest aunt and second aunt, and boss Xie, they are all acquaintances. "
Jiang Ziyu smiled politely at Xie Jiagui and the others.
It was only then that Xie Jiagui and the others discovered that the girl standing next to Tao Jing was tall, fair, and so beautiful.
They were stunned immediately.
Zhong Xiuying tugged on Xie Jiagui's sleeve, "Old Xie, why does that girl look so familiar to me?"
"Don't tell me, it looks familiar to me too..." Xie Jiagui couldn't help but look at Jiang Ziyu a few more times. For a moment, he just couldn't remember where he saw it.
Tao Jing chose a few of Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong's favorites from the menu, and then asked Jiang Ziyu to order. Jiang Ziyu ordered several signature meat dishes in one go, and after finishing the dishes, she showed the menu to Xie Jiagui.
As soon as Xie Jiagui returned to the kitchen, he heard a young clerk say excitedly, "Boss Xie, that person is a star! Jiang Ziyu!"
Xie Jiagui slapped his head and then remembered, by the way, Jiang Ziyu, he had seen her movie before.
The people who noticed Jiang Ziyu were not only Xie Jiagui, but also other customers in the store. They couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ziyu's table.
They are so lucky, they can bump into big stars even if they come to have a meal.
Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan also recognized Jiang Ziyu. In order to prevent other people in the lobby from causing trouble to Jiang Ziyu, they personally led them to a private room.
Jiang Ziyu smiled at Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan, "Thank you."
Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan both said "you're welcome".
“How long will your crew continue to shoot here?” Tao Jing asked after sitting down.
After Jiang Ziyu took a sip of water, she said: "The filming time for the whole movie is only about 90 days. It won't last long. By the way, I read the script for Gu Rong's role. It mainly involves my opponent. There should be two or three. It can be finished in a day.”
Tao Jing: "Zi Yu, please take care of Gu Rong when he is on the set. This child doesn't like to talk. I'm afraid he will be wronged."
Jiang Ziyu deliberately rolled his eyes at her: "Ah Jing, from what you said, it seems that our relationship is already estranged. I know it without you saying it. Don't worry, I will protect him."
“But do you really plan to stay here as a teacher? What will your family do?”
Jiang Ziyu suddenly changed the subject.
Hearing Jiang Ziyu's question, Tao Jing was silent for a moment.
When she went to work as a teacher in a poor area in southwest China after graduating from university, her family was not very supportive.
But because Tao Jing was young, the Tao family let her do what she wanted. But now that Tao Jing is in her twenties, she would be urged to get married every time she returned to Guangshi.
Tao Jing also knew that if she was going to get married, she would definitely have to go back to Guangshi. Her family would not allow her to start a family and start a business so far away.
Tao Jing shook her head: "I don't know. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
Pei Tiantian's heart tightened upon hearing this.
Godmother wants to go back?
That's right. With the Tao family's conditions, there are probably a lot of young talents in Guang City waiting for Tao Jing to choose.
However, if Tao Jing returns to Guangshi, they will have fewer opportunities to meet in the future. If they meet less often, the relationship will become cold over time.
When thinking of this, Pei Tiantian felt a dull pain in her heart.
She doesn't want this.
Jiang Ziyu: "If you marry a local here and never go back, I think your uncle and aunt will be **** to death."
Tao Jing smiled helplessly: "You don't need to tell me that I know it, but I haven't met any suitable person in these years. Who will I marry? You, on the other hand, have been single for how long you have been a star. Could it be that your family members Don’t you want to urge me too?”
"What's the use of them urging me to get married?" Jiang Ziyu snorted, "It's good to live alone. I'm so rich, I don't need a man!"
When Tao Jing heard this, she rubbed her fingers on the rim of the cup. In fact, sometimes she was very envious of Jiang Ziyu.
Jiang Ziyu is a native of Guang City. She comes from a superior family. Her parents are both engaged in business. Her family is simple and her parents are relatively open-minded. This has also created Jiang Ziyu's free and easy temperament.
Unlike the Tao family, which has a large population and a lot of rules and red tape, Tao Jing is often unwilling to go back.
Tao Jing is not surprised that Jiang Ziyu will become a star.
Jiang Ziyu is not only beautiful, but she has also been keen on participating in various dance competitions and hosting events since she was a child. It can be said that she was already well-known in Guangzhou before she made her debut.
So, it seems reasonable that Jiang Ziyu was scouted by a talent scout before she graduated from university, and then made her debut in the entertainment industry.
After all the dishes were served, Jiang Ziyu was the first to use her chopsticks. She looked good when eating, but she ate a lot. She ate two bowls of rice in one go, and she didn’t like vegetarian dishes, so she kept eating meat dishes.
Jiang Ziyu said: "The salt and pepper pork ribs are good, and this sweet and sour sweet and sour pork is very good with rice. You should try it too."
Pei Tiantian found that Jiang Ziyu was really a strange woman. She didn't have the airs of a female star at all, and she wasn't afraid of gaining weight at all.
In Pei Tiantian’s impression, those female stars eat vegetable salads every day, and the portions are pitifully small.
I didn’t expect that Jiang Ziyu didn’t have taboos at all, but she was still so thin.
Pei is sweet and sour.
Does Jiang Ziyu have the legendary physique of not getting fat even if she eats?
After finishing the meal, Jiang Ziyu generously signed autographs for Xie Jiagui and others, including Zhou Wanhong and Wan Cuilan.
Wan Cuilan was particularly happy. She held Jiang Ziyu’s signature in her hand and said excitedly: “Sister-in-law, we can take this signature to the village to show off!”
Zhou Wanhong smiled helplessly.
Pei Tiantian said goodbye to them and Xie Jiagui and his wife, and then left here with Tao Jing.
Jiang Ziyu’s car took them to Tao Jing’s house in the city.
Just as he was about to get out of the car, Jiang Ziyu said to Gu Rong: "There is a scene between the two of us tomorrow. I will ask my assistant to drive you there. Our hotel is not far from the set and I don't need a car."
Gu Rong said "yes", he did not refuse Jiang Ziyu's kindness.
In the next few days, Gu Rong memorized the lines he said by heart and went to the studio to film.
In the past few days, after Gu Rong entered the character state, the filming was relatively relaxed.
For a director like Qi An, he actually prefers this kind of natural and wild actors to those academic actors.
Therefore, seeing that Gu Rong had made great progress in just a few days, he extended an olive branch to Gu Rong and asked him if he wanted to continue to be an actor. He could sign an exclusive agency contract with his entertainment company, and then he would also arrange for Gu Rong to Studying in Beijing.
These words were indeed very tempting to a country boy. Even Jiang Ziyu said this was a rare opportunity, but Gu Rong refused.
There is no other reason. In his life plan, there is no such plan as being a star, and he feels that the reason why he can play this role is precisely because this role is more relevant to him, so he is acting in his true colors. So if What about meeting another different character next time?
Gu Rong didn't think he had the ability to act, so Gu Rong rejected Qi An.
Qi'an is not one to force others into trouble. Gu Rong himself was unwilling, so the matter was settled.
