Now that his girlfriend had decided to go back home for the Dragon Boat Festival, Ren Qingzhou thought he could take on a job.
So during breaks from filming, he asked Li Momo, "Do you have any suitable announcements for the Dragon Boat Festival? I can take one."
Li Momo teased him, "Do you think the entertainment industry is your family business? It's already this late. Where can I find an announcement for you?"
Moreover, big brother, since you've been in a relationship, you've really been slacking off at work.
Li Momo dared not voice her anger, but that didn't mean no one would manage him. She looked at Ren Qingzhou with a hint of sympathy in her tone. "But you do have something to do on the Dragon Boat Festival. You have to go back to the studio. Brother Tian wants to see you."
Brother Tian that Li Momo mentioned was Ren Qingzhou's agent, whose full name was Tian Yu.
Currently, he was fully focused on promoting new talents and didn't pay much attention to Ren Qingzhou.
"Tian Yu? What does he want with me?" Ren Qingzhou had a bad feeling.
"Probably to talk about your future plans. After all, half of the year has passed."
You've been like a ghost in the entertainment industry this half - year. There have been few announcements, and you've hardly been seen.
Could Tian Yu not be anxious?
He was afraid that not only would he fail to promote the new talents, but you would also fade into obscurity.
Li Momo's expression was unpredictable, and Ren Qingzhou had a general idea.
He was well - aware of what he had done in the past half - year.
"Doesn't your Brother Tian celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?" Ren Qingzhou decided to make one last struggle.
"Teacher Ren, in fact, you can't avoid it forever, right?"
Emmmmm, why does it sound quite reasonable?
"Alright, then I'll go back."
"Probably the filming will be finished by the Dragon Boat Festival."
Sure enough, Ren Qingzhou finished his scenes at the film and television base before the Dragon Boat Festival. He wrapped up a bit earlier than Gu Xiaowei. As for Lin Yujie, it was conservatively estimated that he would be the last one to leave the film and television base.
It was because he had a lot of scenes with Dong Yueyi.
The director kept pushing back their scenes, and there were still quite a few to shoot just a few days before the end of filming.
Dong Yueyi originally had an announcement for a gala to attend. She thought the time would be just right.
But in the past few days, she simply couldn't manage both.
If it were an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn't think about asking for leave at this time. Since it was their own fault, it would be tactless to anger others.
But Dong Yueyi had powerful backers. She had the support of the investor.
Dong Yueyi's agent wasn't as overbearing as her. She knew that the director didn't like Dong Yueyi, so it was inappropriate to go at this time.
But since the announcement had been accepted, what could she do?
She carefully went to discuss asking for leave with the director.
The director neither said yes nor no.
As soon as she left, the director called the investor and said, "Our crew is waiting for Miss Dong now. It can't function without her. If you want her to attend the gala, it's okay for the crew to stop and wait for her for a day."
Stopping for one day meant burning money!
The investor's money didn't come easily, and Dong Yueyi's Ruyi Film and Television wasn't the biggest investor.
So Dong Yueyi's agent received a message from the boss - to focus on filming and cancel the commercial performance.
For a young actress like Dong Yueyi, exposure was crucial. This time, her agent had gone through some connections to get her an invitation to a popular TV gala, and her partner would be a very popular celebrity. They had even thought of the name for the hot search.
Now there was no other way, and she had to stay in the crew to film.
She was very disappointed, and she had to console the young actress. "We can create a dedicated persona for you when the show airs."
The character itself wasn't controversial, and maybe Dong Yueyi could become more popular.
On the day Ren Qingzhou left the film and television base, he had a meal with Gu Xiaowei and Lin Yujie. They were both well - behaved people and focused on filming in the crew. Their acting skills were undeniable, and they had gotten along very well during this period.
After a few courses, Ren Qingzhou raised the water in his hand and clinked glasses with Gu Xiaowei. "Sister Xiaowei, I wish you to win an award at the film festival."
Gu Xiaowei laughed. "Are you just perfunctory me with water?"
Ren Qingzhou waved his hand. "As long as the intention is there, it's all the same."
"You really love singing. How many personal hobbies have you sacrificed for singing? Life is so dull."
Hearing what Gu Xiaowei said, Lin Yujie also chimed in, "I didn't expect you to be such a good actor. I originally thought you were just a singer."
"He graduated from a professional acting school. Their school has always been a rival to yours."
After chatting for a few more words, they went back to the hotel together.
As soon as they entered the hotel, they ran into Dong Yueyi.
It was really true that enemies were destined to meet. Dong Yueyi was in a terrible mood today. Seeing the three of them coming back chatting and laughing, she got angry.
"Yo, the three of you went out? Why didn't anyone inform me?"
On normal days, although they didn't like each other, they wouldn't have an open conflict. Lin Yujie was always gentle - tempered. Hearing her aggressive words, he knew it was going to be bad, so he quickly came out to mediate. "It's because Qingzhou is leaving tomorrow. We just had a meal on a whim, so we didn't have time to call you."
Gu Xiaowei had never liked this woman. There were many actresses in the circle who relied on powerful backers to get ahead. It wasn't because of this that she disliked Dong Yueyi. To put it bluntly, being able to get ahead this way was also a kind of ability.
What she disliked was this woman's poor professional ability and bad temper.
Since she insisted on provoking, Gu Xiaowei wasn't polite. "Who do you think you are? Do we have to call you every time someone has a meal?"
"How can you talk like that? Don't think you're great just because you've won a few lousy awards. Who in the country knows what those are? They're probably just some obscure awards."
"I think you're the one who's like a hussy, so you think everything is improper."
When Gu Xiaowei said this, Dong Yueyi exploded. She thought this woman was insinuating something about her.
She rushed over and wanted to fight.
Ren Qingzhou and Lin Yujie were scared.
Sure enough, there were always gossips where there were many women. This saying was true.
They quickly grabbed one woman each, but their mouths didn't stop.
Of course, Dong Yueyi couldn't get the better of Gu Xiaowei.
After all, this woman was merciless when arguing with reporters.
Seeing that Dong Yueyi was getting more and more excited, Ren Qingzhou quickly pulled Gu Xiaowei back to her room.
"What is she? When I debuted, she didn't even know where she was. Does she think she's something just because she's hooked up with the boss of Ruyi?"
Ren Qingzhou just tried to console her. "She's just like that. Don't argue with her, sister."
"Don't call me sister. It makes me sound old. I just debuted earlier. I'm not that old, okay?" After saying that, Gu Xiaowei laughed first. "Ren Qingzhou, how did the director of that drama choose her? There are so many beautiful girls in film schools. She's just lucky."
Ren Qingzhou scratched his nose and replied, "I have no idea."
"Alright, alright, go back. She's ruined a nice evening. I won't see you off tomorrow. You can go by yourself."
"Go to bed early."
Su Tang and her mother set off for Yuncheng on the first day of the holiday.
Since they didn't buy their tickets together, their seats weren't next to Grandma Li's.
But Fang Haoran still came to pick them up specially, and the four of them went to the airport together.
Along the way, Su Tang's mother kept praising Fang Haoran. "Teacher Li, your grandson is so well - behaved. Whoever marries him will surely be blessed."
Grandma Li also complimented. "Your daughter is also wonderful. She's well - behaved, sensible, and beautiful."
Hearing the two of them compliment each other, Su Tang subconsciously took a look at Fang Haoran and found that there was also a smile on his face. They both shook their heads and exchanged a knowing smile.
The meaning of these two old people was too obvious, but the two young people were pretending to be oblivious.
Even after boarding the plane, Su Tang's mother was still talking to Su Tang about Fang Haoran. "Su Tang, what do you think of Dr. Fang?"
"He's great. He's young, promising, humorous, and generous. You can use any positive adjectives on him."
"I also think he's really good. He's much better than those blind - date partners you've had before."
"Yeah, I even wanted to introduce Fang Ting to him. It's just that Fang Ting is in Beijing now. It's too far away and not suitable." Su Tang suddenly wanted to tease her mother.
Sure enough, her mother got anxious. "What's wrong with you, child? You haven't even settled your own business, but you're worried about others. Do you need to worry about Fang Ting? Just take care of yourself."
"Mom, can we stop talking about marriage? Dr. Fang and I" are just good friends. It's definitely not suitable for us to be in a romantic relationship."
"What's not suitable? I think you two are well - matched."
"Look, Dr. Fang is so busy with his work, and I'm also busy. If we were together, who would take care of the family?" Su Tang decided to refute her mother according to the standards her mother often mentioned during blind dates.
She didn't know what her mother saw in Dr. Fang that she insisted on having him as her son - in - law.
"Do you still want to keep your current job after you get married? Su Tang, your job is too time - consuming. It's okay for now, but it definitely won't work after marriage. In the future, you can change to a more relaxing job. That would be nice too."
Only then did Su Tang realize that her mother not only wanted to manage her marriage but also didn't give up interfering in her work.
Her mother had planned her future life and wanted her to follow this plan.
"Mom, why are you so persistent in planning my life? Can't I live according to my own ideas?"
"I'm also doing this for your own good. Look, you insisted on staying in City S back then, and I didn't stop you. But how have you been these years? You don't have a boyfriend, and no one takes care of you when you're sick. How can I feel at ease with you here alone?"
"I compromised when you didn't want to go back. I said that if you could find a boyfriend in City S and settle down there, that would be nice too. But you're never satisfied with anyone."
"Tell me, how long are you going to be so picky?"
