Chereads / Queen of Green Tea [Quick Transmigration] / Chapter 168 - [World 7] Chapter 168

Chapter 168 - [World 7] Chapter 168

  Jiang Mu asked: "What did you think of?"

  It's not that Xu Cheng didn't want to say anything, but didn't know how to answer. He hesitated for a few seconds, and the host just called out his name.

  He suddenly became the focus of the whole audience.

  It turned out that he was selected as the "New Actor of the Year" and the host on the stage called him to come on stage.

  He stood up, straightened his clothes, and went on stage to receive the award.

  Jiang Mu also looked towards the stage, but met Qin Che's eyes.

  When Qin Che looked back just now, he saw Jiang Mu and his gaze stayed on her for a long time.

  Qin Che has been thinking about what happened that night these past few days. Originally, his agent told him that Jiang Mu was also among the invited guests tonight, and he wondered whether he should find an excuse not to attend the annual ceremony. But after thinking about it, Qin Che decided to come.

  He wasn't sure if what happened that day had any influence on his decision.

  If it were in the past, he might indeed refuse to attend an event just because Jiang Mu was there, in order to avoid running into her.

  Jiang Mu looked at Qin Che very calmly, but Qin Che seemed a little abnormal.

  Soon, Jiang Mu turned her eyes away and started talking to the star next to her.

  Xia Xiao noticed that Qin Che was looking back and asked him what he was looking at.

  Qin Che also retracted his gaze and replied softly: "Nothing."

  Xia Xiao looked back, somewhat confused.

  She is now in the same company as Qin Che, but she is not the same agent.

  The two will be working together on a new drama in a while, but they don't know exactly when it will start filming. It's an S+ big production, and Qin Che and Xia Xiao have already been confirmed as the male and female protagonists.

  The other roles have not been selected yet, and production is expected to begin around the beginning of next year.

  In order to adjust their schedules, the two turned down a lot of work for next year.

  Just now, Xia Xiao and Qin Che were whispering about this matter.

  In the communication between Xia Xiao and Qin Che, it was basically Xia Xiao who took the initiative to find topics. Qin Che's attitude was a little cold, but because the two had worked together several times, Xia Xiao had a certain understanding of Qin Che, so Xia Xiao knew that his attitude towards him was a true reaction. If he acted very gentle and polite, it must be fake.

  "Have you watched "The Color of the Sun"? It's directed by Guo Qiyue, and the leading actor is this Xu Cheng."

  Qin Che nodded: "I've seen it, it's really good."

  Xia Xiao: "Really? I haven't had time to see it yet."

  Qin Che: "Yeah."

  Xia Xiao: "Oh, by the way, did you know that Lin Chuchu went to Xingyue? She seemed to be here tonight, did you see her?"

  Xia Xiao's words were also meant to test Qin Che. The scandal between Qin Che and Lin Chuchu had not been clarified yet, and Qin Che didn't seem to want to explain. Although she knew it was unlikely, she was still a little curious.

  Qin Che frowned. Hearing this name, he subconsciously felt unhappy. "I haven't seen her. I don't know anything about her."

  "Oh, I see." Xia Xiao didn't ask any more questions, but she already had an idea in her mind.

  The annual celebration ended quickly, and Jiang Mu also won an award. She and several other stars were named GT Charity Ambassadors, and the award presenter happened to be Qin Che.

  The two stood on the stage at the same time, but kept a certain distance. No one could tell that they were childhood sweethearts and had been married.

  When taking the group photo, Jiang Mu and Qin Che stood in a row, but there was half a person's distance between them, so the photo looked very strange.

  At this moment, Qin Che suddenly thought of something for some reason.

  He and Jiang Mu have been married for so long, but they don't seem to have a formal photo together, let alone wedding photos. The only photos they have are family photos taken when they went home for the New Year.

  Jiang Mu seemed to have never blamed him for these things. There were many similar details that showed that in their previous marriage, Jiang Mu made a lot of compromises and paid more.

  But Qin Che didn't think about these things when he divorced.

  Until now, he suddenly thought of many things that he had overlooked before because of the awkwardness and unfamiliarity between the two when taking the photo just now.

  His mood became complicated.

  Qin Che thought: Maybe he should do something to make it up to her.

  …..

  In the evening, the animated picture of Jiang Mu walking on the red carpet at the GT ceremony became a hot topic.

  Although it was the work of the company's publicity department, the photo did attract a lot of attention once it was released and was forwarded by many people.

  Netizens also discovered that the haute couture dress worn by Jiang Mu was the brand's latest model this year, and this brand had previously lent dresses to Xia Xiao.

  The dress Xia Xiao wore last night was of another brand and was not as prestigious as Jiang Mu's dress.

  It doesn't make sense to lend the brand to Jiang Mu instead of Xia Xiao.

  Combined with Xia Xiao's recent developments, the omnipotent netizens found out that Xia Xiao and Jiang Mu had both changed their agents.

  Jiang Mu's current agent is Xia Xiao's previous agent Lu Ran.

  At the same time, Xia Xiao posted a Weibo, announcing that she had terminated her contract with her previous company, signed with a new company, changed her agent, and thanked Lu Ran for his appreciation and companionship along the way.

  Although Lu Ran is not an artist, he still has a certain degree of fame in the circle, because there are only a few artists who have become famous through his hands, but they are all top artists, and none of them are obscure.

  Xia Xiao was made famous by Lu Ran and she has great resources. There was no reason for her to leave Lu Ran, so there must be a reason for her to terminate the contract.

  Xia Xiao's fans naturally thought that Xia Xiao was wronged, or that Jiang Mu had done something wrong.

  There were rumors earlier that Jiang Mu had a financial backer, otherwise how could she have been so successful in the entertainment industry? She suddenly gained weight some time ago and then disappeared, but now she can come back and let Lu Ran lead her.

  It can be seen that there is really some big shot behind her.

  Xia Xiao's fans immediately attacked her and started to curse Jiang Mu in the hot search comments.

  Only after the incident became a big deal did Xia Xiao come out and post a Weibo post.

  @XiaXiao v: "I have been learning sword dance recently to prepare for the new play. Let's just pay attention to the work~"

  She also posted a photo in which she was wearing a white training suit and dancing with a sword with a bun on. Her posture was very standard and she looked very heroic.

  This Weibo post did not literally mention the incident, showing an attitude that the author did not care about those things, but did not explain anything for Jiang Mu, which implicitly approved of the fans' behavior.

  But her behavior made fans feel that she was backing down, trying to keep things quiet, and wanting to leave some face for her former boss.

  Fans praised her for her peaceful life and kindness, but they also did not forget to harshly criticize Jiang Mu.

  These messages and comments naturally also appeared under Jiang Mu's Weibo, but Jiang Mu didn't care.

  Her psychological endurance is not comparable to that of ordinary people. After experiencing so many worlds, she doesn't care about the opinions of those ignorant netizens at all. She only sees who is standing with a smile at the end and who stands taller.

  Her good attitude was also shown in front of Lu Ran.

  When Lu Ran took her to meet Director Guo Qiyue, he asked her on the way why she was so calm and didn't complain to him. Cheng Xueyi said that she was just like nothing happened and didn't lose her temper at all.

  Jiang Mu just smiled and said, "I just think that I just need to do my job well, and you will definitely help me with other things."

  Lu Ran didn't expect her to be so calm, and he thought more highly of her.

  His scrutinizing gaze fell on her, and he couldn't help but feel that this woman was constantly bringing him freshness and surprises.

  "It's good that you think this way. You really don't need to worry about this matter. I can assure you that within three days, public opinion will turn around. You just need to perform well in front of Director Guo and try to get the role tomorrow."

  Jiang Mu nodded: "I know."

  Lu Ran nodded, then closed his eyes and took a nap.

  He didn't sleep much last night, so he wasn't in a good mood today. He took the time to rest in the car so as not to feel tired later.

  Jiang Mu picked up the script and prepared to take another look at it.

  After a while, Lu Ran felt that he was not sleeping well, so he opened his eyes and saw Jiang Mu beside him, who was lowering her head and reading the script seriously.

  She frowned slightly, with some small expressions on her face, and a strand of bangs fell on her lips, looking very charming.

  Jiang Mu could vaguely feel that someone was looking at her.

  Besides the driver, there was only Lu Ran in the car, so the person looking at her was Lu Ran.

  Jiang Mu pretended not to know, but calmly reached out and lifted her hair. Her slender fingers slid along her hair from behind her ear to her cheek, then she placed her index finger on her lips and stroked it, as if she was thinking about something.

  She had a confused and distressed expression on her face, biting her lower lip lightly with her teeth.

  This action revealed some seductive meaning, but because her expression was too serious, it seemed much more serious, and even more provocative.

  Lu Ran looked at Jiang Mu for a while, his eyes became deep and unfathomable, but he closed his eyes again before Jiang Mu looked up.

  Jiang Mu felt that the gaze disappeared, smiled faintly, and did not continue reading the script.

  When they were almost there, Lu Ran opened his eyes again and said to Jiang Mu, "By the way, can you drink?"

  Jiang Mu: "What?"

  "If you can't drink, tell me in advance, and then don't drink later. If you can drink, you can drink a little."

  Jiang Mu thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can drink a little."

  Lu Ran nodded, "That's good. Director Guo likes to drink. You can toast him later. This meeting is mainly to take you to meet the director and producer. The company also invested in this film."

  Jiang Mu said, "I understand."

  Lu Ran: "Okay."

  After getting off the car, Jiang Mu followed Lu Ran into the hotel and had dinner in a private room.

  They arrived neither too early nor too late. Guo Qiyue had not arrived yet, but as soon as the two of them sat down, Xu Cheng pushed open the door.

  Xu Cheng was a little surprised to see Jiang Mu. He didn't expect to meet him again so soon.

  The two greeted each other, and Xu Cheng sat down to the right of Jiang Mu.

  Jiang Mu had previously told Lu Ran that she had met Xu Cheng at the GT ceremony, and the two sat together and chatted for a while.

  Lu Ran observed the way Xu Cheng looked at Jiang Mu, but couldn't tell anything.

  Although Xu Cheng is young, he never shows his emotions, nor does he show his thoughts on his face. He looks otherworldly and is indeed very spiritual, making him suitable for acting in Director Guo's movies.

  No wonder Director Guo likes him so much and has chosen him as the leading actor in two consecutive films.

  The scripts for these two films were written by Director Guo himself, which shows how much importance Director Guo attaches to these two films. If they become popular in the future, they may be made into a series of films.

  The filming of "The Color of the Sun" was delayed for a long time due to funding issues. After finally getting the investment, the other party asked them to choose the heroine, so the heroine was not the candidate the director was most satisfied with.

  Later, the heroine performed very poorly and many problems occurred during the filming process. In the end, "The Color of the Sun" was not as good as Guo Qiyue had imagined. Although it was already very good, he himself was not particularly satisfied with it.

  After "The Color of the Sun" won the award, the subsequent "Falling" easily received a lot of investment. So, "Falling" is not short of money. He chose the male lead himself, and he also had to be satisfied with the female lead.

  So this time, Guo Qiyue told the investors early on that he would have to decide on the female lead and would need to audition. He wanted to find the female lead who best suited her character.

  This time Lu Ran brought Jiang Mu to meet Guo Qi Yue, not to introduce her, but to make Guo Qi Yue remember Jiang Mu. The two of them chatted about the script for a few more sentences, which would definitely be of great help to Jiang Mu's audition.

  This is equivalent to cheating, but Guo Qiyue doesn't care about this harmless method.

  As long as the actor he finally chooses is one he is satisfied with, that's enough.

  After sitting for a while, Guo Qiyue and the producer also came.

  Everyone introduced themselves and prepared to sit down to eat.

  During the period, Jiang Mu took the initiative to mention "The Color of the Sun" and talked about her thoughts after watching the movie. Jiang Mu watched "The Color of the Sun" several times. She discovered some things that others did not discover and pointed out several details in the film.

  Guo Qiyue became interested halfway through what she said, sat up straight, and listened carefully to her opinions.

  The angle Jiang Mu mentioned was unique and he had never heard of it from anyone else, especially since Guo Qiyue deliberately added an Easter egg that was discovered by her.

  He shot those Easter eggs on a whim and they have not been made public. Jiang Mu was able to discover them, which shows that she really watched the movie and understood the background of the movie.

  Guo Qiyue had heard of Jiang Mu's name, but most of the news about her was negative. The movies she had filmed before had bad reputations, so he didn't have a very good impression of her. But after hearing what Jiang Mu said.

  He immediately changed his mind. There are not many actresses like Jiang Mu who are young, beautiful, serious and insightful.

  Jiang Mu took the opportunity to tell Guo Qiyue that she had read the script of "Falling" and there were a few parts that she didn't quite understand.

  Guo Qiyue explained it to her patiently and asked her if she wanted to audition as well.

  Jiang Mu nodded embarrassedly and said yes.

  Her face turned red as she spoke.

  Her face was red and she looked so charming when she lowered her head that everyone present was stunned.

  Lu Ran couldn't help but wonder, had he found a treasure by accident?

  He was in a good mood and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of wine. He looked at Jiang Mu with a burning look in his eyes.
