Chapter 716: cut off
“I have good news and bad news.”
Zhou Lingyue put down her phone and looked up, "What's the good news?"
“Jiang Lingxi rejected the drama "Queen Xiao"."
Zhou Lingyue's face suddenly burst into laughter, "I guessed it right, she must be pregnant, and I asked netizens not to make wild guesses. Who would believe it? It's just her group of fans who believe whatever they say. It's good to be pregnant, This child came at the right time!”
The agent saw that she was not going to hear the bad news at all, so he pursed his lips helplessly and said proactively: "The bad news is that Dong Wei has contacted the "Queen Xiao" side."
"Dongwei?" Zhou Lingyue repeated the name with a confused look on her face, "Where is the pheasant from that is worthy of competing with me for a role!"
The manager resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Dong Wei is your senior. She starred in "Zhaohua Lu" which was very popular in China back then. She just quit the industry and got married a few years ago."
Only then did Zhou Lingyue's expression change, "Why are you coming back after you've already quit? "Zhaohua Lu" was a drama many years ago. It was popular at that time not because the Internet was not as developed as it is now. And now she has to She’s almost 40, and she still wants to fight with me? Wait, how did she get in touch with the crew of "Queen Xiao" after she has been out of the industry for so long?
The crew of "Queen Xiao" did not make an open casting call, otherwise she would not have felt that she was a sure shot at the beginning.
It was only when Jiang Lingxi appeared later that she panicked.
But for Dongwei, an old actor whose name has almost been forgotten and who has quit filming for such a long time, Director Tang and the others will definitely not take the initiative to communicate. So where does this person come from to contact someone like "Queen Xiao"? Big production?
The agent showed her a news on his phone, "She is probably coming back to help her husband pay off his debts. Although she has been out of the industry for so long, her past achievements are still there. Her acting skills are recorded in the actor's textbook." And in this recent photo, she has been a pampered rich wife since she got married, and her face and figure haven’t shrunk.”
Zhou Lingyue's face darkened every time the agent said something.
But what made her break her guard the most was the last sentence of her agent: "As for the connections, I checked out out of curiosity. Jiang Lingxi's agent, Tong Yue, is a fan of Dong Wei. At Tong Yue's age, when she was young, she happened to be Dong Wei It’s the time of the fire.”
I originally wanted to say that even though Dongwei has been out of the entertainment industry for several years, even if she doesn’t mention her acting skills and age, her competitiveness cannot be underestimated based on her fans who are now middle-aged and even parents.
But looking at Zhou Lingyue's face, which was now so dark that he could hardly look at it, the manager still swallowed these words silently.
She really wanted to say something about herself.
If I hadn't been jealous of Jiang Lingxi's popularity, I wouldn't have had to do anything, and Xiao Chan's role would have been guaranteed.
Looking back now, we really lost both my wife and our troops!
"I think you should stop focusing on this type of role. It's time to change your style. If you don't feel bored, the audience will get tired of watching it."
Zhou Lingyue glared with red eyes: "Are you teaching me how to do something?"
The two broke up unhappy.

There was only one day left before New Year's Eve when Jiang Lingxi received another message from Tong Yue.
She was driving to pick up Jiang Wenhui and Jiang Runcheng to come to Xiyuan to celebrate the New Year.
“Help me see what Tong Yue just sent me”
Shen Yunqing took out her phone from her pocket and unlocked it, clicked on it and read: "Xiao Xi, cough, Dong Wei successfully got the role of Xiao Chan. She also made an appointment with me to have dinner together after the new year, do you want to come with us? ? Xiao Chan, is Xiao Chan?"
"Well, this role came to me before, but I didn't like Xiao Chan or the script, so I rejected it. But I didn't want to take advantage of Zhou Lingyue, so Tong Yue recommended an actor she liked to the crew. . Please give me a reply.”
Shen Yunqing raised his eyebrows and typed as instructed. After sending back the word "yes", "I thought you would refuse."
Eating with strangers is the type of meal that His Majesty dislikes the most. "I took an acting class and watched Dong Wei's drama before. Her acting skills are very good, much better than a wild kid like me. Now that I have decided to take the path of an actor in the future, I will naturally follow this path to become more powerful. People learn a lot.”
Shen Yunqing put the phone back into her pocket and nodded lightly.
His Majesty has not changed at all in his unwillingness to be second to others.

Jiang Wenhui and Jiang Runcheng packed their things early in the morning.
When Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing entered the door, they saw that the open space between the living room and the entrance was filled with various New Year's goods.
Even the air is filled with the smell of various foods mixed together.
Bypassing the New Year's goods, the two of them met Jiang Wenhui's happy but strange eyes.
Jiang Lingxi: "Mom, why do you look at me and Yun Qing like this?"
“When I see you two now, I think of the empress and prime minister you played...”
Jiang Runcheng was speechless next to him, "Don't mention it. Your mother is now crazy about the "Empress Yuan Zhao" you starred in. She doesn't say anything about grabbing the remote control from me at night. During the day, she also holds her mobile phone and watches edited short videos. , and also said that some people are not good at editing, so they have to pay people to learn how to edit. Now that they have learned how to edit themselves, they are already old and they are not afraid that the other person is a liar. Why are you pinching me?"
“I don’t know who is more punctual than me in turning on the TV in the past two days. Besides, I’m just fifty, and there are still a lot of people online who are old enough to take college entrance examinations. What’s wrong with me learning to edit?”
“I’m not afraid that you will be deceived. There are so many online scammers these days, and you can’t do anything after being paid to teach.”
Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing looked at each other silently, walked around the two people who liked to bicker when everything was fine, and walked to the sofa to sit down.
After Jiang Wenhui defended her husband until she was silent, she walked to the seat next to her daughter and sat down. "Xixi, I heard that you actors can watch the entire plot. Can you also reveal it to your mother?"
Jiang Lingxi put the unfinished melon seeds in Shen Yunqing's hand, "If you can watch it, you can watch it, but I didn't ask for the source of the film, and I will follow you now."
Only the night when I received the certificate, I was mistaken by a beauty and missed two episodes.
Jiang Wenhui couldn't help but feel disappointed, but quickly cheered up, "Can you give me some spoilers?"
Jiang Lingxi: "...Okay."
Upon seeing this, Jiang Runcheng also sat down silently.
Asked what it was like for someone at home to become a fan of one's drama, Jiang Lingxi has experienced it now.
Even Shen Yunqing couldn't escape. Who asked him to participate in this drama? He is the male protagonist whose role is second only to the female protagonist.
Finally changed the topic, "Where is Xiaoxu? Not at home?"
“Well, don’t worry about him. Let’s go there first. Xixi, just send him an address later and let him go by himself.”
But Jiang Lingxi is not easy to fool, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon and he is not at home. What is he doing?"
Jiang Wenhui rubbed her hands and was about to confess honestly when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Shen Yunqing stood up and was about to open the door, but as soon as he took a step, Jiang Wenhui stopped him with quick eyes and hands, "Don't open it!"
