Chapter 553 Kneeling and Apologizing (4000 words)
As soon as she walked out of the Asia-Pacific Business Building, Lin Qianxiao saw a familiar figure standing in front of her.
She stepped forward and patted the other person on the shoulder, "Shu Yue, what are you doing here?"
Seeing her, Shu Yue flicked her hair, "I was going to a dinner party, but the driver couldn't come due to something. I'm waiting for an online car-hailing."
It's off-duty time, and this is a business center area, so it's not easy to get a taxi.
"Where are you going to eat?"
"Emperor Huang on Ronggui North Street."
Lin Qian smiled and blinked, "I live there too, how about you give me a ride?"
Shu Yue was a little surprised, "It won't hinder you?"
"No, I was going home too."
Following Lin Qianxiao to the Bentley parked on the side of the road, Shu Yue didn't show obvious surprise, she just smiled and boasted, "This car is really nice."
Lin Qianxiao helped her pull the back seat of the car, while she sat in the passenger seat.
Seeing Jiang Zhi looking at the people in the back seat of the car through the rearview mirror, Lin Qian smiled and introduced: "Husband, her name is Shu Yue, and I work in the same company as me. She goes to Huangshanghuang on Ronggui North Street."
Shu Yue said generously, "Hello Director Jiang, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Jiang Zhi looked away silently.
Along the way, Lin Qianxiao was chatting with Shu Yue.
The two had just met, but they were not unfamiliar at all. No matter what Lin Qianxiao wanted to talk about, Shu Yue could pick up the conversation and talk with eloquence.
Until the car stopped at the gate of Emperor Huang.
Lin Qian watched Shu Yue get out of the car with a lingering smile, looked at Huang Shang Huang's signboard, and asked Jiang Zhi, "What kind of store is Huang Shang Huang? It looks pretty good."
"The soup pot is mainly for health preservation and medicinal food. Do you want to eat it? We can try it with milk tea."
"never mind."
Health preservation and medicinal diet sound very bland at first glance, and Lin Qianxiao lacks interest.
…
"Crack!"
Jiang Hua walked up to Zhao Meimei angrily with a dark face, holding back his anger and asking, "Meimei, what's the matter with you? It's fine if you can't remember your lines, even your emotions are completely wrong.
You are a smart and introverted woman. You are very angry that the man who once swore to each other betrayed you, but he is a high-ranking royal nobleman with power behind you that you cannot afford to offend. Your anger and sadness must be suppressed, and It's not about acting strong and proud like a queen. "
Zhao Meimei frowned impatiently, "Director Jiang, can't you ask the screenwriter to change the characters and the plot? The current market doesn't like the characters of weak heroines, and the audience prefers to watch strong and majestic heroines. "
Jiang Hua looked at her coldly, "What do you mean? The filming is already halfway through, and you only ask to change the characters and the plot now, so the tens of millions you have spent all over the place will be for naught?"
Zhao Meimei pursed the corners of her lips, "I didn't ask you to change the whole thing, just change the part of the heroine, at most it would be to reshoot a few shots."
Jiang Hua got angry, "You haven't filmed a few scenes in total. It's easy to change, but the male lead and other supporting roles are almost finished shooting. If you change it here, can they not change it?
You think it’s enough to watch you perform alone for the whole movie, right? "
Zhao Meimei is a first-line national actress with a lot of fans, and she is surrounded by stars wherever she goes, but Jiang Hua scolds her regardless of the occasion and place, which makes her feel very humiliated, and immediately loses her temper.
"I'm just putting forward my suggestion. If you insist on me acting according to your idea, I have nothing to say. You are the director anyway."
"you…"
Jiang Hua didn't want to quarrel with Zhao Meimei in public, so as not to affect the follow-up shooting.
Suppressing his anger, he ordered the assistant director and the production manager to call it a day, and before leaving, he threw a sentence to Zhao Meimei, "Let's talk in your car."
Getting into the car, Jiang Hua stared at Zhao Meimei, "Let me just ask, do you still want to continue filming this scene?"
Zhao Meimei opened her mouth to speak, but Jiang Hua raised her hand to stop her, "From the first scene, you were out of shape, I understand you, and squeezed out a week for you to rest and adjust during the tight schedule.
As a result, you have adjusted for a week, and your state is not as good as before you did not adjust!
Meimei, I know you are a big star now, you don’t like low-budget movies like "The Story of the Concubine Doctor".
But as an actor, dedication and sense of responsibility are the most basic qualities, and they are also the foundation of your foothold.
As a friend and partner for many years, I really want to remind you that no matter what height you reach now or in the future, don’t drift.
Once people drift away, they are finished. "
Zhao Meimei's face is very ugly. She is indeed wrong about what happened today. Changing the script and character design is just an excuse she made for her absence.
She is also very annoying. Since Jiang Liuli appeared, she can't calm down to read the script, let alone figure out the characters and memorize the lines.
She knew she couldn't go on like this.
"Director Jiang, I'm really not in a good state these days. I won't hide it from you, I can't calm down and film right now."
Hearing her being so frank, Jiang Hua's complexion improved a bit, "Because of what?"
"There is a corporate side, and there is a personal side."
Jiang Hua frowned, "Didn't I give you a week's vacation before and let you go back to S City to deal with the affairs around you?"
Zhao Meimei shook her head with exhaustion and helplessness, "These things cannot be handled well in a short time. Director Jiang, I know you have high hopes for "The Legend of the Medical Concubine", and it is difficult for me to meet your expectations in my current state .
So, why don't you just forget about it, and you look for a candidate for the female lead again, and I will make up for the loss during this period with my own money. "
Jiang Hua couldn't hide his disappointment, "Do you want to think about it again? Or, I will give you another week to adjust?"
It took almost this long to change the role, audition and familiarize yourself with the script.
Jiang Hua still hopes that Zhao Meimei will play the role.
In the previous TV series, Zhao Meimei’s portrayal of the leading female role was so successful that it has become a classic.
Switching to other newcomers, the acting skills and influence will not be up to par, and the audience will not buy it.
And if he wants to hire an actress with a reputation and acting skills like Zhao Meimei, the salary will be at least tens of millions more. Moreover, others may not have a schedule, and even if they have a schedule, they may not be willing to act.
Zhao Meimei shook her head, "Actually, you should be able to see that I can't get back to my original state now.
I have tried my best, but it really doesn’t work. If I force myself to shoot, the final effect will definitely not meet your requirements.
So, no need to waste any more time. "
The words have already reached this point, and Jiang Hua can't force it anymore.
After successfully persuading Jiang Hua to make a substitution, Zhao Meimei breathed a sigh of relief.
What she said just now was not all lies, she really couldn't find her previous state, because most of the original "Medical Concubine Biography" was originally starring.
After she was reborn into this body, the most important and classic scenes of "The Story of the Medical Concubine" have been filmed.
Now she voluntarily withdraws, which can be regarded as a timely stop loss.
Otherwise, after the movie is released, if the box office fails, it will definitely affect her commercial value and popularity.
During this time, Zhao Meimei had a lot of things on her mind and a lot of pressure. Now that she had let go of her burden, she leaned on the comfortable chair and fell asleep accidentally.
When I woke up, the sky outside the window was already dark.
When she returned to the hotel, she suddenly remembered about the company, turned around and took the phone from the assistant, only to find out that Li Yong had sent her a WeChat message two hours ago.
At that time, she was still filming. Later, after talking with Jiang Hua in the car for half an hour, she accidentally fell asleep just now, which led to seeing it now.
When she saw the content of the message clearly, her face suddenly became indescribably ugly.
Li Yong, this trash, not only didn't kick Zhong Qin out of the company, he even lost his position as vice president!
What made her vomit three liters of blood was that Jiang Liuli became the new president of the company! ?
She returned to the room angrily, and immediately called Li Yong.
After listening to the ins and outs, her face was frighteningly gloomy.
Jiang Liuli!
Zhao Meimei originally planned to rest for one night before returning to City S, but now, she doesn't want to stay for a second, no, for a second.
I can't wait to fly back to S City immediately, and meet Jiang Liuli who makes her feel like a stick in her throat for a while in person!
…
After negotiating with the landlord, Xiaozhi asked two fellow villagers to help pack things, and moved out quietly while it was dark.
It was strange to say that the other party seemed to know that she had moved away, and he never came to make trouble after that, which made Xiaozhi very disappointed.
Xiao Zhi was originally a person with a small belly and a dark heart. The landlord withheld her deposit, and the neighbors saw her jokes, and she held a grudge.
Thinking about moving away quietly, waiting for the other party to come to make trouble again, throw **** and urine at the door, isn't it the landlord who lives on the same floor as the unlucky one?
The two fellow villagers lived with their boyfriends, and it was inconvenient for her to borrow them. After putting away her luggage, she simply brought a change of clothes and checked into a nearby budget hotel, planning to look for a house tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, Xiaozhi was soundly asleep when someone knocked on the door of her room, almost scaring her to death.
But when she found the hotel staff and opened the door, there was no one in the corridor.
After she returned to her room and lay down for less than half an hour, the door was knocked heavily again.
When she opened the door, the corridor was quiet, and there was still nothing.
After repeating this over and over again, Xiaozhi was furious.
After the police came, they learned what had happened and checked the hotel’s surveillance system. They found that before and after Xiaozhi opened the door several times, no one had appeared outside her room door, let alone knocked on her door.
After the police left, Xiaozhi was so frightened and frightened that she didn't dare to sleep again.
Strange to say, she didn't sleep, and the door was never knocked again.
After finally staying up until dawn, Xiaozhi immediately checked out and went to the home of a fellow villager.
When the fellow countryman learned of her experience, he gave her advice, "The other party is rich and powerful, we can't fight, and you are at a loss in this matter.
Unless you don't want to work and earn money in City S in the future, otherwise, come to the other party to apologize and reconcile, and you should not contact that man again in the future. "
Xiaozhi was a little bit reconciled, she managed to hook up with a man like Qiao Bin, and even spent a lot of money on him.
Now, when she is ready to reap, if she just cut it off, wouldn't her previous investment and hard work be wasted?
Xiao Zhi was able to get along with Qiao Bin, so she was quite pretty.
Like most girls, she has dreamed of being a star since she was a child.
Having been with Zhao Meimei for these years, I have seen the beauty of being an artist and the ease of making money, and the obsession in my heart has deepened.
But she didn't want to climb up step by step from a secondary actor like other newcomers.
Don’t talk about hard work, but it’s still uncertain whether you can stand out.
In addition to being the deputy director of the business department, Qiao Bin also has the identity of a producer.
She worked hard to please Qiao Bin, hoping that through Qiao Bin's relationship, she could directly play an important role.
If she can become an instant hit, then she will be developed!
But now, Mrs. Qiao is pressing her every step of the way. Let alone relying on Qiao Bin to enter the showbiz, I am afraid that even An Sheng will not be able to live.
She was even more worried that the other party's harassment would cause her to lose her current job.
Xiaozhi called Qiao Bin and told what happened to her in the past two days.
"Brother Bin, please help me make an appointment with your wife. I will personally apologize to her and ask her to let me go."
For Qiao Bin, Xiaozhi's phone call was like picking up a pillow after falling asleep.
The company's personnel changes in the past two days made him aware of a crisis. He also wanted to take care of himself and coax his wife and father-in-law at home, so that if something happened, the father-in-law's family would not care about it.
He comforted Xiaozhi pretending to be affectionate, then turned his head, and confessed to his wife with a repentant attitude, vowing with various oaths that he would never betray her again.
"Honey, I have completely broken up with Wei Zhi. If you don't believe me, I will ask her to apologize to you in person."
Her husband's show of weakness and begging for mercy made Gu Wenyi very useful, and she readily agreed to meet Wei Zhi.
The three met in a coffee shop.
As soon as they met, Xiaozhi took the initiative to bow to Gu Wenyi, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Qiao, I was wrong, I will not contact Brother Bin again, please let me go."
Gu Wenyi sneered again and again, "Wei Zhi, the harm you have done to me and my family is all over with a fluffy sorry?"
Wei Zhi bit her lower lip lightly, and looked at Qiao Bin for help.
Qiao Bin managed to coax his wife well, how dare he help at this time.
Qiao Bin's ruthlessness made Wei Zhi secretly hate him, but he was helpless.
"Mrs. Joe, what do you want me to do, you say, as long as I can do it."
"It's very simple. You knelt down in front of me, confessed your mistake and swore that you would never contact Qiao Bin again, otherwise the whole family would die."
Wei Zhi never expected that the other party would go so far as to make her kneel in public!
She blushed and turned pale, angry.
Gu Wenyi sneered, "My request is so simple, you can't fail to do it, right? Wei Zhi, I'm impatient, if you don't apologize sincerely, then you'll be excused.
However, you'd better think clearly, whether you can stay in City S in the future depends entirely on your attitude today. "
No, she must stay in S City.
She just bought a house, and her good life has just begun, so she cannot be kicked out of S City like this.
Wei Zhi clenched her fingers, took a deep breath, and knelt down straight to Gu Wenyi.
"Mrs. Qiao, I'm sorry, I swear, I will never contact Qiao Bin again in the future, otherwise I will die a terrible death."
Gu Wenyi got up satisfied, "Wei Zhi, you'd better remember the mistakes you said today, otherwise, I have a hundred ways to deal with you."
Watching Gu Wenyi leave proudly, Wei Zhi was filled with humiliation and her eyes were red.
In Yushuiwan Villa, Zhao Meimei watched the video of Wei Zhi kneeling and apologizing to Gu Wenyi on her mobile phone, and her gloomy mood finally cleared up.
She can no longer keep this kind of person who eats inside and out.
Finished today
Looking for a monthly pass, please~
Is an evil and wicked person like Wei Zhi a good match for Wen Yu?
