Chapter 264 A Big Shot Acting Like a Big Shot 11

Shen Ningqi watched as Song Xianyin talked to the old women.

I've seen the old sycamore tree several times.

Although she knew that Song Xianyin didn't have any feelings about the movie.

Meng Yuke whispered to Shen Ningqi, "Actually, this movie isn't very artistic. Everyone knows she did it to win awards."

Shen Ningqi pretended not to hear.

So what? She just likes watching straightforward content; she finds the more profound stuff too brain-taxing.

The more Meng Yuke looked at Song Xianyin, the more mediocre he felt.

As an actress, she should at least have a pretty face and a good figure, but she's really quite ordinary, especially in the entertainment industry where beauties abound.

Those haters even said he was a "resource-backed" actress. Who has resources like Song Xianyin? She has never played any supporting roles. And the supporting roles she plays have to have complete scenes. She really needs to be in the spotlight wherever she goes.

They sold for a day and still had a lot left, with Meng Yuke having the most left.

[Isn't this a variety show? Why is Meng Yuke really not doing anything?]

[I was just asking Xie Yanli to help him sell them, but he's already exhausted.]

[I'm speechless. I was wary of Song Xianyin even before the show aired, and then Meng Yuke suddenly appeared.]

[Don't be so sensitive, okay? We're all friends. Ke Ke is very good to Xie Yingdi too. It's mutual.]

The show has only been airing for a short time, and the fans of each group are still maintaining a relatively harmonious relationship.

But some fans are already getting restless.

The evening breeze was particularly pleasant. Shen Ningqi washed her bamboo basket in the river and prepared to head home.

Just as she reached the shore, she suddenly encountered Chen Zeming carrying a shovel.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

"Teacher Chen, let me get you some water." Shen Ningqi realized what was happening and her eyes crinkled into a smile.

Chen Zemin looked Shen Ningqi up and down and said with a grin, "Shen... Ningqi, right?"

Shen Ningqi nodded: "You can just call me Xiao Shen."

This is Chen Zemin! Shen Ningqi felt a little excited.

Actually, she doesn't like appearing on variety shows because it would make her lose the mystique of being an actress. But if she loses this opportunity, she might never be able to meet these people again.

Chen Zemin smiled kindly: "How are you? Are you tired today?"

There was some moss on the stone steps. Chen Zemin held onto the wall and carefully walked down.

Shen Ningqi was as nervous as a student being called on by a teacher.

"It's okay, I'm having a pretty good time."

Realizing she hadn't said enough, she added, "I feel like I can learn a lot from this show."

Chen Zemin was amused by her nervousness: "Don't be nervous, I'm not going to eat you."

His tone was somewhat helpless: "You kids are always so afraid of me."

Shen Ningqi's face flushed red as she looked at Chen Zemin with admiration: "After all, you are Teacher Chen."

Chen Zemin glanced at Shen Ningqi beside him. She looked exhausted, her face was flushed, her hair was wet with sweat, and her lips were dry, as if she hadn't had any water in a long time.

The two walked together on the pebble path.

"What movies or TV shows have you acted in before?" Chen Zemin suddenly became interested.

Shen Ningqi's voice was a little soft: "I haven't acted in much, just some idol dramas."

Because she has acted in too many idol dramas, her image has become fixed. She wants to change her style, but the directors don't believe her.

Chen Zemin nodded in realization: "You are very good-looking, and you are indeed very suitable for acting in idol dramas."

"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Chen."

[Qiqi, you should learn more from Teacher Chen! I never expected to run into Teacher Chen while participating in this variety show.]

[Waaaaah, whoever assigned the groups should have put Qiqi in Teacher Chen's group! The atmosphere is so harmonious!]

The world's best little bunny is always so gentle with its juniors.

If only I could meet a little bunny in my life, I would be such a happy little girl.

Chen Zemin lowered his head and thought for a while.

“I don’t know if you’ve seen any of Director A-Kang’s films, but there’s a role that would be perfect for you.”

Shen Ningqi's eyes lit up immediately: "Director Qi Kang's play?"

Qi Kang is also a very famous director, but compared to Shen Juan, he has a strong rural flavor. He is more down-to-earth and prefers to film men with a more bandit-like air.

Qi Kang and Song Xianyin also have a history.

At a press conference for one of Qi Kang's films, a reporter asked him if he had a favorite actress. Qi Kang said that he had invited Song Xianyin, but she thought his film was too rustic and refused to go.

Later, a reporter asked Song Xianyin this question.

"Director Qi Kang is quite famous in Country A. Did Teacher Song really say that back then?"

Song Xianyin calmly said, "I did."

"Why? Don't you like Director Qi Kang?"

"Yeah, I don't like directors who always film things like crotches."

This statement directly propelled Song Xianyin to the top of several forums' "most hated female celebrities" list, further damaging her already poor reputation.

There was a sudden, unusual unity online; regardless of gender, everyone was determined to criticize Song Xianyin.

Chen Zemin looked at the naive Shen Ningqi and hesitated: "I have high hopes for you, but I don't know if you can accept this role."

"As an actor, you always have to constantly push your own boundaries."

Shen Ningqi nodded seriously: "Teacher Chen, I cherish every role I play. I have also thought about changing my career path. I don't pick and choose scripts; I will accept any role that can help me improve."

Chen Zemin looked at Shen Ningqi with great admiration; there aren't many actresses with such perseverance these days.

In the past, many actresses posed completely nude, simply because of a director's word.

Nowadays, actresses need stunt doubles for action scenes and intimate scenes. Some actresses even want handsome male actors and don't even look at ordinary ones.

The entertainment industry today has truly been ruined by capital. Only actors who experienced that era can truly understand the once thriving entertainment circle.

“That character is very complex; she has both the evil and the beauty of humanity. I see that sense of contradiction in you.”

Shen Ningqi was deeply moved; she had finally waited for this day, the opportunity to transform herself.

“She came from a very poor family and dropped out of school early to become a prostitute.”

Chen Zemin explained, “I’m not calling her that because I look down on her. This is her profession, and I respect any profession, especially this one.”

Shen Ningqi suddenly fell silent.

Chen Zemin continued, "I was deeply moved after reading the script. You know how difficult her living conditions were, but she gave her whole life for A-Jun, who was one of her customers."

"Even Ah Jun didn't expect what he just did casually..."

Shen Ningqi couldn't listen anymore; she thought it was some complicated and profound story.

It turned out to be another story about prostitutes.

Is it true that for male directors, depicting a woman's complexity means writing about her unbearable past and her wholehearted love for men?
