Chapter 145 Hit a straight shot
The two exchanged brief small talk with the assistant director and were about to leave when Qin Shiyu suddenly received a call. After listening to a few words, he covered the phone and whispered to Jiang Yu, "It's about the gold mine in South Africa. We may take a while, so you go to the coffee shop downstairs and wait for me."
Jiang Yu blinked, "I can go back to the hotel first. Why do I have to wait for you?"
However, Qin Shiyu had already started chatting with the other party. His expression looked unusually serious. After thinking about it, she decided not to disturb him and went directly to the coffee shop on the first floor. Anyway, she had nothing to do after returning to the hotel, so waiting was doable.
After ordering a cup of caramel macchiato, Jiang Yu habitually found a booth in the corner and sat down. After sending a message to Qin Shiyu to report her location, she turned on her phone to look at the postgraduate entrance examination materials for the Finance Department of Q University.
It was the end of June when she transmigrated. It happened to be summer vacation. Now two months have passed and the original owner was about to attend classes. Speaking of which, Heaven had left her a glimmer of hope. The original owner was already a senior in college and had no practical performance courses or final exams. There was no need to attend classes. She only needed to complete her graduation thesis and presentation in the second half of next year. The graduation thesis was theoretical, so it wasn't difficult for her. She will have no problem coping with graduation.
Rather than graduating from the acting department, her more important thing was to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.
In her previous life, she studied for a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Q University. She was about to graduate when she suddenly transmigrated into a novel. Now she had another chance. She planned to further study in the field of finance. It so happened that she studied finance as an undergraduate in her previous life. The foundation was still there, but in the end she still put it down for a few years and needed to systematically review it again.
Moreover, she needed to have an absolute advantage to ensure success in this ridiculous inter-professional postgraduate entrance examination from the Acting Department of the Film Academy in City B to the Finance Department of Q University.
While reading, Jiang Yu suddenly heard a commotion. When she looked up, she saw several young men and women swarming in, discussing something excitedly.
She didn't pay attention until she heard Sun Lingqian's name from them.
They seemed to want a lot of coffee. After placing their orders, they sat in the booth next to her and started chatting:
"Sun Lingqian is so beautiful..."
"More importantly, she’s rich. Generally, when a newcomer visit, it’s pretty good that they can treat everyone to a cup of coffee. Her first move is imported chocolates. This cost more than 200 yuan a box and there’s at least a hundred people, tsk tsk."
"Oh, I'm really envious of people who are born in Rome."
"But today, the few supporting actors from 'The Devil's Hour' are here with them. Why isn't Qin Shiyu here? I really want his autograph."
Generally, during the broadcast of film and television dramas, the main actors will go to major Internet media platforms or film and television platforms to visit the marketing and publicity member. This was a very popular publicity method in recent years and was very helpful for increasing the popularity of actors.
The crew of 'The Devil's Hour' visited Orange Film and Television this afternoon. It was supposed to be a along-the-way matter for Qin Shiyu, but he didn't participate. Jiang Yu thought of Sun Lingqian, whom they met at noon, and felt that he might be annoyed.
The group nearby were still speculating, "Qin Shiyu is recording 'All Rounder 3' today and isn't free?"
"But hasn't the recording been finished in the morning?"
"A few days ago, Sun Lingqian was ridiculed a lot online because of Qin Shiyu. Do you think it's because Sun Lingqian doesn't want to call him?"
"It's possible. After all, Sun Lingqian is one of the investors in 'The Devil's Hour' and has a lot of say."
"Probably not," said a young man in his early twenties. "When I came out just now, I heard her telling Chief Zhang that she was investing in a new project and wanted to recruit Qin Shiyu as the male lead."
Everyone was surprised, "Really?"
"This is really true." Another person showed them his mobile phone, "Guo Min on the 19th floor said he saw Qin Shiyu and had entered the office with Chief Zhang."
"On the Internet, the two are said to be fire and water. Since Sun Lingqian was ridiculed like that, I thought they would never have contact with each other."
"It's okay for netizens to believe those words on the Internet. We are marketing people, don't you know whether what’s true or false?"
"Some scumbag men are still good men and husbands that everyone chases after online."
"Yes, netizens are the best at judging people from a high moral point of view. In reality, if they have to choose between Sun Lingqian and Jiang Yu, they will choose Sun Lingqian."
"Sun Lingqian's team is very professional. The script they chose should be good. Look at 'The Devil's Hour', it’s a big hit, right?"
"Then they will play the male and female leads in the next drama? If this news is released, it will be Jiang Yu who will be ridiculed, right?"
Jiang Yu took a sip of coffee and suspected that they were Sun Lingqian's die-hard fans or hired to tell her this on purpose. After all, she didn't put on much disguise and they were sitting next to her. There was no reason why they couldn't recognize her. .
And the facts quickly confirmed her guess.
Jiang Yu didn't want to hear these nonsense and useless words, so she grabbed the coffee and prepared to leave. But before she could get up, Sun Lingqian came in from the door with a few actors from the 'The Devil's Hour' crew.
Then the situation where no one recognized her for so long, someone called out her name at a glance, "Jiang Yu? Why are you here?"
Before Sun Lingqian came, the people standing in front of the coffee shop had been talking about her. Her feud with Jiang Yu had been trending since a few days ago. As a practitioner in the entertainment industry, almost everyone knew.
So when the other party called out like this, everyone in the coffee shop immediately focused their attention on Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu raised her eyes and saw the pride in Sun Lingqian's eyes. She knew that the other party came with bad intentions. After thinking about it, she felt that she might not be able to leave smoothly. Firstly, she wasn’t good at talking to people. Secondly, the other party had many people. If she left, it would inevitably be a little disgraceful. Jiang Yu didn't like to be embarrassed, so she sat there and didn't move. Then she took out his mobile phone and sent Qin Shiyu a message.
After all, he was the core to attacking Sun Lingqian. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh. Sun Lingqian's logical thinking ability didn’t seem very good as she couldn't distinguish the real target.
Like Qin Shiyu, but she sought to torment her. It was truly seeking a fish in the tree.
When she looked up again after sending the message, she saw that Sun Lingqian was already standing opposite her. The girl who was next to Sun Lingqian sat directly next to Jiang Yu, blocking her way to leave. With a smile on her face, she said, "Hello Jiang Yu, I'm your fan."
Jiang Yu remembered that she was Xiao Yuan, the female lead’s maid in 'The Devil's Hour'. And one doesn’t reach out to hit the smiling person. Jiang Yu couldn't respond too indifferently to the other person, so she nodded, "Thank you."
The person on the seat next asked, "Qiangian, why did you run down by yourself?"
Sun Lingqian smiled, "Seeing that you haven't gone up for a long time, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to carry it, so I came down to help."
After she finished speaking, she smiled playfully, "And take a breather along the way."
The people nearby expressed their understanding. One of the girls glanced at Jiang Yu and asked Sun Lingqian, "Qianqian, I heard that you have invested in a new script and want Qin Shiyu to be the male lead?"
Sun Lingqian smiled modestly, "You guys are really well-informed, but it’s not decided yet. The main reason is that my dad wants to buy a gold mine recently. The family's funds are a little tight."
At once, everyone gasped, "Buy gold mines?!"
Sun Lingqian smiled, "En, over in South Africa. I heard that someone is eager to sell it and the price is right."
"Wow, how much does that cost?"
Sun Lingqian tilted her head, "Maybe 30 to 40 billion?"
Jiang Yu:……
Qin Shiyu wanted to sell the gold mine, and the Sun Family wanted to buy the gold mine. She somehow felt that there was some connection between the two, but she remembered that Qin Shiyu said the best case scenario, the gold mine would be worth nearly 10 billion...
Sun Lingqian opened her mouth and turned it three-four times more?
Jiang Yu didn't know if she was overthinking it, but the onlookers were shocked and visibly became more enthusiastic about Sun Lingqian.
And their way of conveying enthusiasm wasn't only to compliment Sun Lingqian, but to share the same hatred with her.
Sun Lingqian said, "Oh, I don't know about these things, but my dad said it shouldn't be short of the small amount of money I invested. So if it goes well, it should be filmed soon."
When she said this, she glanced at Jiang Yu, "What about you? Do you want to join too? I remember that you are from the acting department. Although you have no experience, there is no problem in giving you a small supporting role."
Jiang Yu shook her head, "Thank you, no need."
Xiao Yuan immediately smiled, "Jiang Yu, it can’t be that you look down on it? But apart from your good CP, you don't have any work now. When it comes to acting, it still depends on the acting skills."
Someone nearby snickered, "Or are you jealous? Are Jiang Yu and God Yu really in a relationship?"
Jiang Yu took a tactical sip of coffee without saying anything. Xiao Yuan explained on her behalf, "It's definitely impossible. You don't understand Qin Shiyu."
"We were together day and night for a few months while we were filming. How should I put it? He was very gentlemanly and easy-going in person, but once we parted way, he didn't even remember names. Cold in his bones."
"So when you see him getting along with someone, it's an educated and polite response. How long has he known Jiang Yu? Seven episodes of 'All Rounder 3' were recorded, so they only interacted for seven days."
"Furthermore, the program team of 'All Rounder' needs him to work with Jiang Yu as a CP. After all, Qin Shiyu didn't have a CP before. In the third season, many people said that Qin Shiyu got to get a CP."
"Actually, the atmosphere of CP is the language of the lens. In addition, CP fans bring their own filters...you should all understand this."
Everyone nodded in agreement, "Indeed, with a good angle, your enemies can be capture with a CP feel."
"Especially when going shopping. With a little familiarity and a little editing, you can become a close lover. That's why I say don't take CP seriously."
Sun Lingqian looked at Jiang Yu and said slowly, "Would you like to make some preparations and make a plan? If Qin Shiyu is determined to act in it, we may promote it soon. At that time, you may follow my current trend, being ridiculed by netizens. So you should prepare in advance."
Jiang Yu took another sip of coffee and nodded obediently to show her understanding, "Okay."
Sun Lingqian:......
This wasn't the reaction she wanted to see. Shouldn't the other party quickly curry favor with her? No matter how bad it was, it should be inferiority complex and powerlessness despite the resentment.
What’s the matter with this old god’s attitude?
Thinking of something, Sun Lingqian suddenly smiled, "Actually, next week's 'Perfect Holiday' is actually a good opportunity."
Jiang Yu's face finally showed a surprised expression.
Sun Lingqian was finally perked up, "Don't you know? I invested in that."
She stared at Jiang Yu, trying to see the fear in her expression, "I will record the next episode with you."
Xiao Yuan said excitedly, "Will Qin Shiyu go too?"
Sun Lingqian nodded. Afterward, she looked at Jiang Yu with a malicious smile, "I remember that the contract stipulated that the reasonable shooting requirements of the program team must be met. When the plan is finalized, we will exactly follow the plan. How about it? "
"Or if you don't dare, you can withdraw by compensating 500,000 yuan. Then Qin Shiyu and I will make our own arrangements."
At this point, Sun Lingqian finally felt satisfied. Jiang Yu and Qin Shiyu had already signed the contract, so they will be completely at her mercy. Even if Jiang Yu went bankrupt and paid 500,000 in liquidated damages to quit, she didn't believe Qin Shiyu won’t be tempted at all by her net worth when he catches wind of it. As long as Qin Shiyu doesn't quit, she can definitely bind a CP with him by then and give her more room for maneuver.
Anyway, no matter which route Jiang Yu took, it will be a deadend.
No wait. In fact, there was still a way to go.
Sun Lingqian smiled, "If you feel it's not suitable, you can find another backer to invest in it. Don't you have a wide range of 'networks'? You can find an investor who is bigger than me."
Xiao Yuan rolled her eyes and said immediately, "I heard that Sheng Qin Group intends to enter the entertainment industry. Qin Luochuan, the heir of the Qin Family, came to Orange Film and Television today to check the projects."
These words made Sun Lingqian stunned for a moment, "Who?"
Xiao Yuan said, "The heir of Sheng Qin Group. I heard an employee say that when I went to the bathroom."
Others immediately became interested, "For real?"
Xiao Yuan responded, "For real. Those two people were fired up discussing it."
Sheng Qin Group was now a domestic retail giant, while Qin Xingye was a well-known rich man. So many people knew some information about him:
"Isn't Qin Xingye, chairman of Sheng Qin Group, among the top ten richest people in the country last year?"
"How many billions worth is he?"
"More than seventy billion?"
"This is individual worth. Adding the company's worth, it's estimated to be hundreds of billions..."
"Hundreds of billions. Tsk tsk, we can't imagine the world of rich people."
"But even if Qin Group wants to enter the entertainment industry, the heir doesn't need to come in person, right?"
"In this case, according to the novel's usual route, it's probably for someone? A wealthy CEO and a beautiful female star, hahaha."
Xiao Yuan's eyes fell on pondering Jiang Yu, "Jiang Yu, what are you thinking about? It can’t be that you really want to give it a try, do you?!"
Sun Lingqian sneered, "Her? You don't think that because everyone's surname is Qin, they are easy to fool. He's the young master of the Qin Family..."
Before she could finish her words, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open. A man in his twenties walked in surrounded by several middle-aged men.
The other party was tall and slender, wearing a well-tailored suit. His facial features were handsome and cold. A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes and gold-rimmed glasses gave him an air of elegance and majesty.
Everyone's eyes were attracted. Sun Lingqian looked at the few executives behind him who were not easily seen at Orange Film and Television. In a flash, she knew the identity of the other person and exclaimed, "Young Chief Qin!"
Following her words, the man's gaze landed at this side. Wherever his gaze passed, everyone unconsciously stood up and subconsciously adjusted their appearance.
When the other party came over, Sun Lingqian felt her heart beat faster. Like the people around her, she raised her hands to straighten her hair, put on a smile, and said in a soft tone, "Young Chief Qin..."
However, the other party nodded politely to her and revealed a smile when he looked at Jiang Yu, who was sitting motionless in the corner, "Jiang Yu, hello, nice to meet you, I am Qin Luochuan."
Everyone was stunned. Sun Lingqian stared at Jiang Yu in disbelief, "Do you know Young Chief Qin?"
Jiang Yu calmly picked up the coffee and took another sip, wondering what happened today? Why were there so many ghosts and monsters?
Also, where did Qin Shiyu go? ! If he doesn't come, she won't be able to hold it in anymore!
She really wanted to go to the toilet... wuwu~
