Whether it was Ning Xiunian or CG, they were hot topics in the entertainment industry.
This time, the two of them appearing at the award ceremony together, was enough to attract the attention of all parties.
“I think Ning Xiunian is also among the nominees for this award. Do you
think…”
“Think what?”
“It’s regarding the casting we mentioned previously. During this period of time, there have been rumors that Director Zhang is preparing for a new movie and is still lacking someone to fill a role.”
“Isn’t this news not confirmed yet? Where did you hear this news?
“Is there a need to hear this news? I just came over from Yang Ming’s side. A few people said that he’s definitely going to win the role this time.” A few artistes stood not far from Murong Qiao and the other two and whispered to each other, exchanging their views.
As for the Yang Ming they were talking about, he was also standing on the other side of the venue.
He was surrounded by a few people like the moon. Sensing the envious gazes of the surrounding people, he couldn’t help but raise his chin proudly, revealing his feminine and beautiful face.
“Senior Yang Ming, I heard from them that Director Zhang’s new movie is on the Hollywood level. You’re too strong.” A girl beside him had an envious expression and admiration in her tone, almost praising Yang Ming to the sky. Yang Ming’s lips curved into a smile. “Where did you hear this rumor? It’s not even confirmed if I can film a movie.”
Although he said that, he didn’t deny the other party’s admiration for him just now. Clearly, he thought so too.
As soon as he said this, many people praised him.
They were all in the entertainment industry. One or two of them were good at reading people from their body language and also knew how to speak glibly.
Therefore, with just a few words, they made him burst with joy, causing Yang Ming to laugh uncontrollably.
“If not for the fact that he acted like he resists initially but then welcomes it, I would really think that this matter is already known on the surface,” Ning Xiunian couldn’t help but say coldly from the side.
Seeing that he did not seem to have a good impression of him, Murong Qiao looked over. “Do you know him?”
“No, I don’t want to know such a person.” When Ning Xiunian heard her say those two words, he frowned in disgust.
It seemed like there’s a story between them.
Without waiting for Murong Qiao to ask further, Ning Xiunian took the initiative to speak.
“When I partic.i.p.ated in variety shows and acting a long time ago, I worked with the other party a few times. It’s just that his thoughts are a little
improper.”
Ning Xiunian looked at Yang Ming, who was surrounded by everyone. “He’s quite vengeful and is used to using some tricks. He always looks down on the juniors who came after him.”
“If we’re only talking about ability, I can admit that he’s good.” Ning Xiunian seemed to have thought of something and pursed his lips. “But if we’re talking about his personality, forget it.”
When he said this, Ning Xiunian also knew what kind of occasion this was, so he lowered his voice and only told Murong Qiao.
Chi Hanjing, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but look over curiously.
Although she had not interacted much with Ning Xiunian, she had asked him questions about acting before. Therefore, this was the first time she had heard him evaluate a person so “badly”.
“As for why he’s so famous now, it’s most likely because a movie has started filming recently. The director is Zhang Qijiang. We all call him Director Zhang. Even if he didn’t hear the contents of the conversation, Ning Xiunian could guess the reason why the other party was surrounded by so many people just by looking at the situation.
When Chi Hanjing heard this, she couldn’t help but interrupt. “Didn’t they say it was a rumor?”
“I’ve heard the company employees mention it before,” Murong Qiao mentioned.
She recalled the conversation she had heard when she took the elevator after work some time ago. Coupled with Ning Xiunian’s description, she immediately remembered such a thing.
“It’s true. Only a few people know.” Ning Xiunian nodded and admitted the authenticity of the news.
The reason why he knew about this was because of the connections he had acc.u.mulated in the entertainment industry for a long time.
Ning Xiunian told her everything he knew. “I heard that it’s at the level of Hollywood. There’s no need to even think about the main character role, but there’s a supporting role. From the sound of it, they want to choose an actor from our country.”
It was rare to see an Asian as the protagonist in Hollywood movies. Those who could really take on that position were also unprecedented figures.
However, supporting actors were different. Even if they had fewer scenes, when they thought about being able to appear in Hollywood movies and walk into the foreign market, many people could be said to be scrambling for this opportunity.
“There’s someone in Director Zhang’s studio who has an especially good relationship with Yang Ming.”
Therefore, it was no wonder that Yang Ming was so popular over there.
Not to mention a role. That was Director Zhang’s movie. Coupled with Hollywood’s resounding reputation, it was enough to make people envious. The topic surrounding the movie ended after Ning Xiunian finished speaking. Moreover, there were people coming and going here. There might be some reporters and paparazzi who had sneaked in. The three of them all understood the principle that trouble came from the mouth, so they changed the topic. In any case, the award ceremony would only start some time later.
“Speaking of which, Boss, I have a question for you.” Ning Xiunian changed the topic to Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao met his curious gaze. “Don’t tell me you want me to give you a raise?”
She joked, indicating for Ning Xiunian to speak frankly.
“I only found out after coming to the company that you were the one who wrote those novels that were made into dramas.”
Although he was famous, Ning Xiunian had never paid attention to the author of his roles before. After watching the cinematic, he realized that the stories were written by his boss. This time, he had simply discovered a new continent. Ning Xiunian was clearly very interested in this matter. “To be honest, have you ever thought of writing a few more scripts? I can take the initiative to act in them, the kind that doesn’t require remuneration.”
He had worked hard for so many years and was already rich. Sometimes, he didn’t need to care about that bit of remuneration. Moreover, after reading Murong Qiao’s novels and adapted works, he became even more interested in his new boss.
“I thought my brother had already told you before.” Murong Qiao chuckled helplessly.
Ning Xiunian thought about Qin Huan’s praise for Murong Qiao and vaguely remembered that the other party had indeed recommended a few novels to him in the past.
However, he was too busy acting at that time and was focused on the script at that time. He didn’t have the time to read those at all, so he simply forgot about them as they chatted.
Now that he thought about it, Qin Huan was probably showing off his Little Sister to him at that time.
Recalling that he seemed to have missed Murong Qiao’s novel, a trace of guilt flashed across Ning Xiunian’s face before he returned to normal.
“He’s so busy all day,” Ning Xiunian said in disdain. “Some time ago, he even told me that he found a newbie with good acting skills. He’s probably still busy nurturing him.”
At the mention of Qin Huan, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but think of another person.
Ever since she talked to Tang Huai about his leg injury in the hospital last time, the other party didn’t seem to have moved. Now that she suddenly remembered it, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but be a little worried.
She still had to find time to visit the other party.
Murong Qiao made up her mind to let the other party treat his leg before the compet.i.tion.
She had also chatted with Murong Zheng previously and learned from him that Murong Zheng had actually already prepared a treatment plan for Tang Huai. Moreover, with the advancement of technology in the past few years, many complicated steps could be omitted. Now, he only needs to agree.
Thinking of the dream she had on the plane and the ending of Tang Huai in the dream, Murong Qiao lowered her eyes and fell silent..
