PNB Chapter 242: Finally Joining the Group
Chapter 242: Finally Joining the Group
Although Qin Xi was still pretending to be tough on the surface, after hearing what Gu Chenxing said, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Although Qin Xi really wanted to shout, I have my own arrangements and deployments, I can do it myself, and I don’t need you to sacrifice yourself to cover for me!
But she couldn't say this because Qin Xi knew that she was not as strong as she thought. Plans were plans, but a small mistake could lead to a big mistake. If her selfishness affected the future of Meige, she would be blamed.
Therefore, the pressure on Qin Xi from this bet was unimaginable. She had already burned her boats and could only succeed, not fail. This kind of pressure made Qin Xi toss and turn again, and she even woke up frequently from nightmares of failure, and could only rely on sleeping pills again.
Although Qin Xi disagreed with Gu Chenxing signing with Meige from the perspective of his personal development, it did relieve Qin Xi's stress and made her feel more at ease.
Gu Chenxing does have the ability to provide a backup.
The Chinese entertainment industry is famous for its love of men. Male stars’ pay and endorsement fees are higher than those of female stars of the same caliber, and their business resources are much richer. Especially since Gu Chenxing is a new top male star, his fans’ stickiness and enthusiasm are at their peak. In addition, Gu Chenxing has an excellent image and temperament, making him a hot commodity in the eyes of major brands.
With the triple buffs stacked up, Gu Chenxing's commercial value was so great that even Qin Xi felt inferior to him. As long as Gu Chenxing was willing to accept it, Meige's annual revenue from Gu Chenxing's endorsement fee alone would exceed 100 million yuan.
His sudden appearance was like a golden ticket to Mei Ge. So even though Mr. Song knew why he came, in order to get the golden ticket and for Mei Ge's benefit, he immediately drafted a contract with Mei Ge's highest salary and took Gu Chenxing down directly.
Looking at Qin Xi's awkward look as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, Gu Chenxing smiled gently.
"You don't have to feel sorry for me. This is my own choice and has nothing to do with you. Remember what I said before? You can use me as much as you want to achieve anything you want. I didn't have enough ability at that time, but now I have..."
"I know you don't want to do this, it's okay, I can use myself to fulfill your wish, I just hope you... don't reject me."
Qin Xi almost couldn't hold back her tears, bit her lip and shook her head, "I told you a long time ago, I'm not worthy of you doing this for me!"
"I've also told you that it's not up to you to decide whether it's worth it or not..."
"I already owe you a lot..."
Since becoming the spokesperson for Chenneng, Qin Xi's career development seems to always be influenced by Gu Chenxing, who always helps her quietly. Now that it's out in the open, he no longer restrains himself and begins to help her openly. But she seems to have never given him anything, so what is the point of such one-sided and endless dedication?
Qin Xi scratched her head angrily and looked up at the sky helplessly, "You make me passive like this, making me look like a scumbag..."
Gu Chenxing burst out laughing, "What a coincidence, I just like you to owe me. If you feel embarrassed, then be nice to me, then I will owe you too, it's the best thing to owe each other!"
Qin Xi: “…”
Alas, Sister Meng’s words really came true. What a sin!
Qin Xi thought about it and couldn't help but smile. Since he could help her, why couldn't she help him? Especially in the entertainment industry, who could compare with her in choosing scripts and resources? Only children make choices. Qin Xi wants both the income and the script!
She has to work harder to live up to Gu Chenxing and those who unconditionally believe in and support her!
Qin Xi knew that with Tan Jing's status and connections in the circle over the years, plus the quality of the new movie's script, there were actually many options. Facts from the previous life also proved this, but Tan Jing believed in Qin Xi!
Tan Jing is a person who will not change his mind even if ten oxen pull him back once he makes up his mind about something or someone. From the very beginning when he was preparing for this project, his only choice was Qin Xi. Because of Qin Xi, Tan Jing chose Mei Ge, who had no experience in investing or making movies and was determined to fight a desperate battle in her first attempt.
This movie is Tan Jing's debut, and also Mei Ge's. Because of the freshness, passion, and the unbearable consequences of failure, both parties will give 200% effort to do their best.
Whether Tan Jing can successfully transform into a director and whether Mei Ge can fire the first shot in the bet all depends on this.
Mr. Song and Tan Jing hit it off immediately and the negotiation process was very quick.
"Happy cooperation!"
President Song and Tan Jing smiled at each other, then turned to Qin Xi and said, "Xiao Xi, see Director Tan off..."
Director Tan? Qin Xi was stunned. Not bad, worthy of being President Song. Qin Xi secretly gave President Song a thumbs up.
"Let's go, Director Tan~"
Tan Jing rolled his eyes at Qin Xi and said, "Don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind. After this play, I want the entire entertainment industry to call me Director Tan when they see me!"
Qin Xi smiled secretly. Tan Jing's self-confidence seemed to be innate, but he did have the capital to be confident.
Tan Jing said bluntly, "So, Qin Xiaoxi. As my first heroine, if you dare to let me down and hold me back, I will never let you go in this life!"
"Heh..." Qin Xi lowered his head and smiled, then looked up, his expression proud and quite direct.
"Whether I am a person who is lagging behind or not, Brother Jing has already seen it when we were filming [Wan Jun Xin]. In fact, it's not just you. Over the years since I entered the industry, everyone who has looked down on me has been slapped in the face."
Tan Jing raised an eyebrow, and it was really a slap in the face. But... is the little girl so arrogant now?
Qin Xi glanced at Tan Jing and said, "Besides, if you really didn't believe in me, why would you come to me three times and insist on me? Brother Jing, don't worry, even if it's not for you, for Mei Ge, for myself, I will show my true ability..."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Brother Jing. When you haven't seen someone for three days, you should look at them with new eyes. I am no longer the same person I was in [Wan Jun Xin]. When you see my amazing performance in front of the monitor, don't be surprised~"
Tan Jing clapped his hands and laughed, "Great! That's your spirit! Just like me! I'm already looking forward to seeing how brilliant you will be after the filming starts!"
"During this period, read the script and experience life, don't just think about practicing dancing for the Spring Festival Gala, okay?"
"I know, Director Tan. You haven't even started directing yet, and you're already nagging!"
When they arrived at the door, Tan Jinglin got into the car and suddenly curled his lips playfully, unable to hide his pride.
"Those two guys, Di Shen and Mu Fei, always brag to me about how they worked with me on two plays. How about now, I have one too? This time it's a movie, and I'm the director. I'm much more special than them. Let's see what those two guys have to say!"
Tan Jing laughed three times and walked away.
Qin Xi was left disheveled in the wind.
"I didn't expect Teacher Tan Jing to be so...eccentric!" Tiantian couldn't help but speak.
Qin Xi snorted and laughed, "This is just the beginning. The entertainment industry... there are all kinds of things. Just wait and see..."
Qin Xi returned home and flipped through the script of the new movie again - [Tu Mi].
It’s always new to watch, and I’m amazed every time.
Qin Xi took a deep breath, and a new role journey was about to begin. Without further ado, he had to report to the police tomorrow!
