2264 Twins
Shen Mubei opened his mouth to ask about Xiao Qing’s situation, but after thinking for a while, he gave up.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go in and see the producer first.” Qiao Weiyang nodded and turned to leave.
Shen Mubei reached out to touch the brooch. His fingers subconsciously rubbed against it as he lowered his head in deep thought.
…
Zhao Xinshu was still resting in the dressing room.
After her manager went out to help her ask about the situation for a while, she came back with a bad expression. “Xinshu, do you know who I met?”
“Who is it?” Zhao Xinshu was filling in her eyebrows, and her tone was a little casual.
“I saw Qiao Weiyang talking to President Shen just now, but I didn’t dare to get too close. I think I heard them talking about the brooch. President Shen seemed to have asked if Qiao Weiyang gave him the brooch.”
“What?” Zhao Xinshu immediately stood up. “Could it be that Qiao Weiyang wants to join the production team, so she deliberately gave him a brooch to get close to him?”
The manager couldn’t say anything else and only said, “It might not be the case. I only heard a few sentences.”
“No, it must be the case. You don’t have to doubt yourself. There are many people who want to join the production team. If they can’t get through the producer and director, it’s normal for them to want to go through Shen Mubei. I’ve seen many such women. I just didn’t expect Qiao Weiyang to be like this. She was close to Mubei before, but they haven’t contacted each other for several years. I thought she wouldn’t do such a thing.”
Zhao Xinshu’s impression of Qiao Weiyang was greatly reduced.
Or rather, she had never liked Qiao Weiyang to begin with, but now, there was even more reason for her not to like her.
After Zhao Xinshu finished speaking, she comforted herself. “But fortunately, Mubei has never been someone who would be attracted by beauty. He’s a very principled man. Even I couldn’t get the female lead role, so how could Qiao Weiyang?”
The manager’s expression changed slightly. She opened her mouth but hesitated.
“So, Qiao Weiyang was eliminated?” Zhao Xinshu asked.
“No.”
“Which minor role did she get?” Zhao Xinshu asked in amusement.
The manager deliberated for a moment and said slowly, “The female lead role…”
With a swish, Zhao Xinshu’s eyebrow pencil left a long mark on her face. Her eyebrows were ruined, and so was the makeup on her face.
The manager lowered her head. Zhao Xinshu threw the eyebrow pencil on the table. “B*tch!”
How could it be possible?
Shen Mubei would never mess things up because of beautiful women, let alone use his public assets for personal gain! How did Qiao Weiyang manage to do it?
The manager quickly comforted her. “Maybe Qiao Weiyang is still auditioning. Isn’t she quite popular recently? She’s also a hot topic.”
“How is it possible for such a bimbo to accomplish that?”
She said disdainfully.
After Zhao Xinshu fixed her makeup, she immediately walked out and found Shen Mubei.
“Mubei!” She went forward and held Shen Mubei’s arm with an obedient smile on her face.
“Why are you here?” Shen Mubei quietly pulled his arm away.
“I’m here to see you. And I heard that the main roles have been decided. I want to come and see the people I’ll be working with. Is that not okay?” she said coquettishly.
As they spoke, Qiao Weiyang and Lu Mingjue came out chatting and laughing.
Sensing that someone was staring at her, Qiao Weiyang raised her head and looked in the direction of the gaze. She saw Zhao Xinshu staring at her. Her gaze was a little complicated, but no matter what, there was not much kindness in it.
Qiao Weiyang looked away and walked out with Lu Mingjue.
“Do you know Zhao Xinshu?” Lu Mingjue asked.
“We’ve known each other for many years. Our relationship is very ordinary,” Qiao Weiyang said softly.
“Oh, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, you’ll only be together for four months at most. You’ll just be ordinary colleagues,” Lu Mingjue said.
Qiao Weiyang didn’t object. That was indeed what she thought.
In the past, Zhao Xinshu was very hostile to her because of Xiao Qing. She did not expect Zhao Xinshu to still have this attitude after not seeing her for so long.
Perhaps she thought that… any woman would snatch Shen Mubei from her?
“Manager Lu, your information is sometimes not accurate. Zhao Xinshu must have been given a role in the production because of Shen Mubei, right?” Qiao Weiyang teased.
Lu Mingjue smiled and shook his head. He turned around and laughed.
…
After Qiao Weiyang met the producer and executive director, the contract was signed.
The production team was very efficient. As soon as the contract was signed, it was immediately announced, and they officially entered the filming process.
Before filming started, there was a media meet-and-greet.
After the official Weibo account released the approximate time of the meet-and-greet, the fans were already looking forward to it.
[I’m waiting for Weiyang’s new movie!]
[Weiyang’s fans are full of happiness and anticipation!]
[I’ve already prepared the money for the movie tickets!]
Among the comments, many were from Qiao Weiyang’s fans.
Tao Huan took the confirmed timetable and handed it to Qiao Weiyang. “Sister Weiyang, you’ll participate at this time tomorrow. You’ll have a formal meeting at three in the afternoon. You’ll be interviewed by the media at 4:30. You’ll have your makeup done at 5:30, and you’ll have your photoshoot at 7. You’ll come out of the main entrance at 10 to greet your fans. Then you can come back.”
“Okay.” Qiao Weiyang took the timetable and roughly memorized the process.
The other preparations were naturally arranged by Lu Mingjue and Tao Huan.
Her most important job was to maintain a good state and manage her expressions well. She would respond to all kinds of questions and photos from the media tomorrow.
Zhao Xinshu had also received the notice and was making arrangements.
She called her manager over and whispered something to her.
The manager said, “That’s not good, right? Besides, there are so many people. It won’t be easy to avoid Qiao Weiyang.”
“That would depend on your arrangements. Do I need to remind you why you were hired?”
Hearing the meaning in Zhao Xinshu’s words, the manager knew she had to do all she could.
Moreover, if she wanted to do this well, it was indeed best to do it now. Qiao Weiyang was still not familiar with the production team. In the future, she would not have such a good opportunity.
“I understand. I’ll do it now.”
Hence, all the participants received a notice that the news conference would be held at ten in the morning. The media meeting would also be held at ten. The rest would be postponed.
It was equivalent to bringing forward almost everything.
However, only Lu Mingjue did not receive any notice, and no one informed Tao Huan and Qiao Weiyang.
Even so, Qiao Weiyang had always had the habit of confirming the time in advance.
She said to Tao Huan, “Have you finalized the time tomorrow?”
“I’ll ask Mr. Lu.” Tao Huan ran to ask Lu Mingjue.
Lu Mingjue was dealing with Qiao Weiyang’s upcoming work and arranging the production team’s time. When he heard this, he said, “Call and ask yourself. I’m not free.”
