Chapter 109 Grievance, and Further Progress
Expressing gratitude should definitely be done in person; that shows sincerity.
Bai Lu came to the film set to thank Chen Jingyuan, and it was clear that her gratitude was genuine.
However, Bai Lu did not stay in the film crew for very long.
The preparation for "Hello Mr. Billionaire" has been going on for almost four months, and Zi Lu needs to go to Yanjing to attend the launch press conference.
The filming location will be in Xiamen, which will require some travel.
This was my first time filming a movie, and I was paired with Shen Teng.
For Bai Lu, the pressure was even greater, and her search for Chen Jingyuan was perhaps also a way to seek peace of mind.
After the White Dew season, November arrived.
Chen Jingyuan has been on set for almost a month, which is quite a long time.
The show "Grade One: Graduation Season" was recently broadcast, and Meng Ziyi got off to a great start by winning the female lead role in Yuan Yongyi's group.
Chen Jingyuan knew about this a long time ago, and Xiao Meng was quite happy to have mentioned it on WeChat.
But in less than two days, Meng Ziyi was completely clueless!
The current episode features a performance by the professional students' team singing "I'm Eating Fried Chicken at People's Square" at the welcome party.
Because of her poor singing skills, she was replaced as the female lead by team leader Cheng Yi.
Meng Ziyi burst into tears and left the scene, indicating that this incident had caused her mental state to become somewhat unstable.
Am I really that bad at singing?!
The probing question from Xiao Meng left Chen Jingyuan speechless.
[Last-minute cramming definitely won't work, especially since you're a top-notch actor and singer, you should give others a chance.]
Chen Jingyuan could only offer a small consolation by sending a message.
After some thought, Chen Jingyuan decided to leave the film crew and head to Shanghai.
The recording of "Grade One: Graduation Season" has started and there's no reason for it to stop.
Meng Ziyi probably wouldn't want to withdraw early, but the next few episodes are going to be quite interesting.
Or perhaps Meng Ziyi is inherently stubborn, so Chen Jingyuan should spend more time with her in Shanghai.
After all, what follows is a massive online backlash!
There are already some signs of this online, such as people being overly sensitive and unprofessional.
After the third episode aired yesterday, two more labels were added: selfish and disregard for the team.
"Little Meng has never suffered a loss before."
"Plus, it was my first time participating in a reality show, so I was a bit inexperienced."
Chen Jingyuan shook his head and said softly, "Before this, Meng Ziyi was mostly taken care of."
Putting aside her own care, Meng Ziyi's family's circumstances alone meant she wouldn't feel too wronged.
In addition to the resources Rongxin had previously arranged, they were all for minor roles.
Meng Ziyi's acting skills are sufficient!
Even if she isn't assigned a role during this period, Meng Ziyi will not compromise herself.
However, in "Grade One: Graduation Season", Meng Ziyi's singing shortcomings were exposed, and she was not one of the people who needed to be taken care of.
This is what caused the problem!
After Chen Jingyuan got off the plane, Liu Dali had already arranged a car to wait for him.
"Go to the Shanghai Theatre Academy!"
Chen Jingyuan thought for a moment and then spoke up, sending a message to Meng Ziyi.
On stage at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Meng Ziyi changed her makeup to play a thief, which led to a dispute with Anita Yuen.
He immediately broke down and left the auditorium.
She was caught in a strange emotion, feeling as if the whole world had abandoned her.
It felt like sinking alone into a dark, empty sea, surrounded by cold emptiness, where even breathing felt heavy.
Just then, the phone screen lit up.
I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.
This news was like a ray of light in the darkness, filling Meng Ziyi's heart at that moment.
I jogged all the way to the gate of the Shanghai Theatre Academy and saw Chen Jingyuan's figure in the distance.
All the grievances welled up in my heart at this moment, and tears kept swirling in my eyes.
Meng Ziyi hugged Chen Jingyuan and finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"Did you feel wronged!?"
Chen Jingyuan gently patted Meng Ziyi's back and spoke slowly.
"No way!"
"I just want to see you."
Xiao Meng is just as stubborn as Chen Keke, but this time her words were noticeably gentler.
"Let's go home first!"
"good!"
Chen Jingyuan's voice continued, and Meng Ziyi replied in a hoarse voice.
Taking advantage of the fact that few people were paying attention, the two returned to the waterfront mansion.
As soon as they got home, Meng Ziyi hugged Chen Jingyuan tightly and wouldn't let go, as if she was afraid he would run away.
Chen Jingyuan could still sense Meng Ziyi's attachment.
Before long, it was evening, and Chen Jingyuan called the hotel to order takeout.
Xiao Meng's mood has improved a lot in a short while.
He turned his grief and anger into a craving for food!
After finishing the meal, Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but chuckle as his gaze fell on Meng Ziyi's face.
The main problem is that Meng Ziyi was wearing makeup before, but crying and eating ruined her makeup.
"I'm going to take a shower first!"
Meng Ziyi also noticed the problem with her makeup and quickly spoke up.
She had previously left two sets of clothes here, so changing clothes wasn't a problem.
Go!
Chen Jingyuan naturally wouldn't stop him!
However, after Meng Ziyi finished taking a shower, she hid in the quilt in Chen Jingyuan's room.
Shanghai entered winter relatively early this year, and the temperature today is not very high.
Especially after nightfall, the temperature may drop below 10 degrees Celsius!
It still feels a bit chilly, especially since the heating isn't on inside.
"Go to bed early!"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Jingyuan also took a shower, but when he came out of the bathroom, he saw Meng Ziyi curled up in bed.
Meng Ziyi only gradually relaxed after she hugged Chen Jingyuan.
The only thing was that the two of them were tightly embracing on the bed, which was still quite ambiguous.
Xiao Meng's long hair was loose, and her pajamas were quite loose, revealing her fair and slender neck.
Not to mention the faintly visible curved edge below.
Her large eyes gazed at Chen Jingyuan, moist and carrying a hint of allure and a touch of longing.
No man can resist such temptation.
"Meng Ziyi, you're playing with fire."
Chen Jingyuan whispered in Meng Ziyi's ear.
The two had been keeping their distance, perhaps because their relationship hadn't reached that level of intimacy yet.
"Chen Jingyuan, I love you!"
The only response to Chen Jingyuan's words came from Meng Ziyi's confession.
Chen Jingyuan naturally wouldn't hold back anymore; he was determined to take the lead in this matter.
As their hearts pounded and their breaths mingled in their small embrace, the two chose to succumb to their desires.
More than an hour later!
Both of them were exhausted, but Meng Ziyi's mood had clearly improved a lot.
"I actually discussed it with the makeup artist and we agreed to dress up as a thief."
"Then I got into an argument with my advisor."
"Actually, I should have communicated with the production team first."
Meng Ziyi spoke softly about what happened today, her hoarse voice still making people feel a little sorry for her.
However, his words clearly acknowledged his own problem!
The main issue was that her emotions and mindset were not right during the recording of the program, which caused her to lose her temper.
Actually, I was trying to steal the spotlight, but I never expected to end up arguing with my mentor.
"Jingyuan-ge, don't you think I'm being very willful?!"
Meng Ziyi asked cautiously.
"I'm biased towards my own people, regardless of right or wrong!"
Chen Jingyuan spoke without hesitation, firmly standing on Meng Ziyi's side.
So what if she's being a drama queen? Meng Ziyi is just a little willful, that's nothing serious.
They're not some terrible person, and besides, this isn't about admitting their mistake and correcting it.
After she finished speaking, Meng Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief. She was still a little afraid that Chen Jingyuan would dislike her.
Unbeknownst to her, Meng Ziyi was still deeply concerned about Chen Jingyuan's words.
Even though their relationship has now progressed further!
"I'll go with you tomorrow."
Chen Jingyuan continued, saying that it would be better if he intervened.
This is not a big deal!
The reason is simple: although he has no apparent connection to "Grade One: Graduation Season," he is connected to it in every way.
First of all, "Grade One: Graduation Season" is a program on Hunan TV, so director Xu Qing could easily put in a good word with Zhang Lihua.
Another mentor, Anita Yuen, is even easier to approach.
First of all, both Huang Zongze and Anita Yuen's husband Julian Cheung came from TVB, so a little communication wouldn't be a problem at all.
In addition, Shu Qi, a guest on the second season of "Chinese Restaurant", is a longtime friend of Anita Yuen in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
The two collaborated as early as 96, and their relationship continued to grow afterward.
For example, in 09, when Shu Qi was spotted at the airport, he took the initiative to cover for Anita Yuen and her son when they were disturbed by the media.
There were many instances of her son calling Shuqi "pretty older sister" and their interactions on Weibo.
It's quite simple with a little communication!
To put Meng Ziyi at ease, Chen Jingyuan did not hide their relationship and even communicated directly by phone.
"Jingyuan, thank you!"
Meng Ziyi visibly relaxed.
She didn't know what to do tomorrow; she couldn't just cancel the show altogether.
Then you'll have to pay penalties for breach of contract, which will make things even more complicated.
The only problem is that there are too many haters, and Meng Ziyi feels there's nothing she can do about it.
Especially when this episode airs, there might be even more haters.
Thinking about this, Meng Ziyi's mood clearly soured again.
"Black and red are still red!"
"Being boycotted across the entire internet isn't entirely without its advantages."
Chen Jingyuan noticed Meng Zi's expression and, knowing what she was thinking, comforted her.
"benefit?!"
Meng Ziyi couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.
She hasn't seen any benefits in being infamous or gaining popularity; she's almost faced a full-scale online boycott.
"For example, your contract can be resolved quickly."
"Rongxin might even be worried that you'll negatively impact the entire company."
Chen Jingyuan bluntly stated that it's not uncommon for people to boycott an artist and then boycott the company behind them.
"It seems so?!"
Meng Ziyi thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense; it was indeed good news.
"As for turning from hater to fan, it's actually quite simple."
"After a while, when the audience has forgotten about it, I'll go on some variety shows to win back their favor."
"Or, for some works, it's quite easy to reverse their reputation."
Chen Jingyuan continued, saying that turning from hater to fan isn't that difficult.
With proper handling, turning around one's reputation is not a problem.
"Jingyuan, I believe in you!"
Meng Ziyi's face gradually showed a happy expression, clearly indicating that she still trusted Chen Jingyuan a lot.
