Actually, it was fine if she had to let Xiao Jiayu play the supporting role. As long as the role was good enough to hone her acting skills, she could accept it. However, from Feng Likun's words, she knew that this strong woman would not want her to play supporting roles. She wanted her to have a better start from the start, and her tone revealed her contempt for some of the younger artists.
She also understood Feng Likun's view. In the last two or three generations of actresses, there were quite a few who had won films at the age of thirty. For example, Yuejia was only thirty-two, but she had already won the highest film festivals in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. But for the next generation of actors, even for a great director like He Xiyuan, they basically didn't have any follow-up news. Not to mention that some of the actresses were the ones who had gone viral on the internet, their acting skills were terrible, and they were almost 30 years old, still acting in an idol without any acting, yet they couldn't even afford to put on a movie, no wonder Feng Likun looked down on them.
"Madam Feng, I also want to settle some matters regarding the school recently. After all, it's going to be the last year soon. Teacher Zhou is very strict too, so I don't want to leave a bad impression on him just because of his acting." Xiao Jia Yu expressed her intention.
After Feng Likun heard her words, he revealed the first smile he had ever seen on his face. "Only now do I understand why I keep recommending you as much as I did in the past."
Xiao Jia Yu also laughed: "Senior Brother Luo is currently my only idol. I am too happy to hear you say so."
Feng Likun changed the topic back to the main topic at hand. "You should know that the recent reality TV shows are very popular. I've also received many invitations from television stations, hoping to invite Qing Ran to attend. Qing Ran might have the ability to do so, but what you might not know was that currently, the best choice for male actors was to invest a bit more in the country, or to choose a movie for the big directors. "But you just started preparing for your debut, and I hope that you can maintain your exposure to the public, so I think you can participate in a reality show when 'Meeting and Enjoying' is released later on."
Feng Li Kun saw Xiao Jia Yu's expression and knew that she was unwilling. This girl seemed to be a playboy, so she liked acting. She hurriedly said: "Right now, the most popular show is the reality show. A reality show will only be filmed once a week or two, and it won't take long. With exposure, your study will not be delayed and I think it's a good choice. It's also the last year of your university, so we can take advantage of this time to choose a good book.
Xiao Jia Yu was already convinced by Feng Li Kun, so she nodded and said: "I'll trouble elder sister Feng to take care of all this in the future."
Feng Likun hurriedly said, "I'll pay attention to the reality TV show's invitation recently. I'll definitely find the one that suits you the most. Your EQ is not low, and you also seem to be a gentle yet strong girl. When the time comes, it will be easy for you to suck in the powder. "
The two of them finally reached a consensus. Although it slightly deviated from Xiao Jia Yu's original plan, it was not too much. At the very least, her original intention seemed to be the same as Feng Li Kun.
When Feng Li Kun and Xiao Jia Yu came out of the lounge, Mu Chen was already engrossed in his work. Luo Qing Ran was also sitting on the sofa beside him, reading a book.
Xiao Jia Yu was a little shocked: "Senior Brother Luo, so you are nearsighted."
Luo Qing Ran quickly smiled and said, "My standards are very low. I use contact lenses on set and don't usually wear them. I can't do anything about it while I'm reading."
Feng Li Kun looked at the time and reminded her, "Qing Ran, we still have other things to do."
Luo Qing Ran immediately bid them farewell. Feng Li Kun then said to Xiao Jia Yu, "If there's anything, contact them by phone. If they want to meet, we can set up a meeting."
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly nodded her head in agreement and watched the two of them leave.
At this moment, Mu Chen walked up to Xiao Jia Yu's side and asked, "How is your chat with your wife?"
In front of Mu Chen, Xiao Jia Yu was naturally not as nervous as she was at Feng Li Kun's side. She also expressed her original thoughts: "Madam Feng wanted me to join a reality show for the second half of the year, but I'm really not very interested in that kind of program."
When Mu Chen heard this, he laughed. "Many of the artists under our company are currently participating in reality TV shows, while some of the older ones are going to be judges for some talent shows. There are a few artists who have been lagging around the B-C-list rankings that are so popular. Just don't think that participating in a reality show is just because you're not doing your job properly. Like that Ande Qiu from before in our company, everyone in the industry acknowledged that his acting skills were good, but he was never able to become the male lead. He became famous on a reality show and later also became the male lead.
Seeing that Xiao Jia Yu still couldn't figure it out, he held her by her shoulder and let her sit on the sofa, "Jia Yu, sometimes you are just too stubborn. This kind of character is both good and bad. Since elder sister Feng can bring out so many Shadow Emperors, there's no need for you to doubt her decision. After all, you're only in the possession of a movie called "Meet You Like Me", and you're only a supporting cast for 20 minutes. I don't think you'll ever want to be the main character in a man's play, or a small production.
Xiao Jia Yu completely understood what Mu Chen meant, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I was too anxious."
Mu Chen raised his hand to rub her head as he smiled and said, "Right now, all of your arrangements will be made by the imperial elder sister. You will only have the right to be willful when you reach Luo Qing Ran's position."
Xiao Jia Yu raised her head to look at him, and replied with curved eyebrows: "Senior Brother Luo will be my lifelong idol and target."
Hearing her words, Mu Chen felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "You have such a goal to encourage."
"Mu Chen, did Brother Luo receive a new book?" Xiao Jia Yu suddenly asked.
Mu Chen curiously asked, "Brother Luo told you yourself?"
Xiao Jia Yu shook her head and replied, "I heard from elder sister that Senior Brother Luo still has a job. You all said that he doesn't know how to take on any other work besides filming, so I naturally thought of it."
Mu Chen immediately stopped being suspenseful and hurriedly said, "It's Director Lin Su who is preparing to make a new movie."
Xiao Jia Yu widened her eyes in shock: "It's actually Lin Su who is about to make a new movie. He hasn't made a movie in five or six years and I've also heard a lot of people saying that he won't make another."
He was one of the few big directors in the country who was as famous as He Xiyuan. He even won more awards than He Xiyuan on the international scene, having won two of the top awards at one of the three European film festivals in two films he made in the prime of his life. However, several of his films later on ended up in Waterloo, both at the box office and in public. Although he was on par with He Xiyuan, he was clearly more questionable than He Xiyuan, who fought steadily all the way.
Mu Chen poured another cup of coffee for her and placed it in front of her before replying, "You have to have met Lin Su before to know, she's completely infatuated with the movie, it's impossible for him to give up the movie. It was just that the box office of the previous few films that he had made were really too terrible. The investors could still see his fame and prestige as an investment that did not require any return, but after a few times, they were scared. No matter how rich they were, they couldn't always just let the money in their bags go to waste. This time, he's been silent for so many years and has been thinking about his new movie. He probably wants to have a good turn this time. "
Xiao Jia Yu curiously asked: "Will you be joining the investment in this movie?"
Mu Chen immediately nodded his head: "Rather than believing in Lin Su, I believe more in Brother Luo. Luo Qing Ran is simply the name of the domestic movie industry in recent years, and is even more useful than those big directors. All of the films he has starred in in recently years have both fame and fortune in them, I believe in his vicious eyes when choosing books, and I also believe that he can control the acting skills of all the people in the world."
Xiao Jia Yu could not help but nod as she listened to his words. In the end, she did not forget to summarize his words: "My idol is amazing." Mu Chen didn't notice in the slightest that the smile on his face stiffened because of her words.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Jia Yu also stood up and said: "Mu Chen, I think I'll be leaving first. You can continue with your business."
Mu Chen quickly got up and said, "Wait for me for a moment, I still have some matters to take care of. I'll send you back later."
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly shook her head and said, "I drove my own car. If you were to send me back, my car would definitely stay here."
Mu Chen had a helpless look on his face. In the end, he could only smile and say, "Then you can leave first. Be careful when driving. Give me a call or a text when you get home."
Xiao Jia Yu was a bit speechless: "I find that you are becoming more and more like a senior." With that, he left with a smile.
Mu Chen looked at the closed door, then lowered his head to look at the document, but found that he was unable to enter. He stood up and stood in front of the French window, looking at the scene on the ground. In the past, when he was tired from work, he liked to stand here and rest. But today, standing here, he still felt a little distracted. Wanting to find out the reason was like not being able to grasp the deepest thoughts in his heart.
In mid-April, Xiao Jiayu informed Feng Likun in advance and then proceeded to carry the suitcase to Thailand by himself.
It's been summer in Thailand most of the year, not to mention this island in southern Thailand. As soon as Xiao Jia Yu got off the plane, she felt waves of heat wave coming from the bottom of her feet. It was as if her whole body was being sucked into the heat wave. It was so hot and stuffy that it was unbearable. The airport here was also very simple and crude. The staff members' efficiency was quite slow, but of course, it was possible that she was irritated by the hot weather. It would only be her turn after the other European beauties had taken care of the formalities. After passing through the customs office, she hurriedly went to get her luggage before going to the exit to find the person Shen Feng had said he would send to pick her up.
It was easy to tell the looks of the Chinese here. Xiao Jia Yu quickly found the person who came to pick her up, but she did not expect him to be someone familiar. It was Shen Feng, that noisy and funny little assistant.
"Jiayu, I've finally waited for you. I came here on a boat and a car. I actually threw up after not having breakfast this morning." The assistant complained when he saw Xiao Jiayu.
