Chapter 259: What a good trick
Yue Ying became famous at a young age and has been working hard in the entertainment industry for more than ten years. She is not only a top-tier celebrity, but also her own capital. People like her don't act easily, but once they do, you can tell whether they have what they want.
After seeing Yue Ying's actions, I realized how low-level Fang Xianyu was. She racked her brains to find a group of trolls to spread negative information, but the end result was just a lot of noise but little action. Her little actions were nothing compared to Yue Ying's.
The prize money for the "Feige Best Actress" award was generous, as much as one million yuan, and Qin Xi was as generous as ever, giving everyone in the studio a big red envelope. Everyone in Qin Xi's team was still immersed in joy and didn't know that overnight, everything was different.
"Xiaoxi, have you offended anyone recently?"
Sister Meng couldn't hide her anxiety and looked serious.
Qin Xi's heart skipped a beat. "Sister Meng, what happened?"
Sister Meng sighed, "According to the plan we agreed on, during the three years of the gambling agreement, the TV series will be put on hold and only movie scripts will be accepted. Although I can't guarantee the quality of the movie projects that came to us, the number was at least not small. I don't know what happened recently, but there are no new scripts that came to us. You just won the 'Feige Best Actress' award. Although it's not a movie award, you are on a strong momentum. There should be more people coming to us seeking cooperation. This situation is too abnormal!"
Sister Meng took a breath and continued, "There's something even stranger. I contacted the projects that came to me before, and the people in charge who were so enthusiastic just a few days ago now have changed their attitudes and euphemistically said that they can't use you. When I asked for the specific reasons, they were vague and hesitant. It was only after I kept asking questions that I learned from a familiar producer that the problem was with a certain person!"
Qin Xi frowned and blurted out, "He means that someone wants to ban me?!"
"That's not so serious. The TV shows they found are still the same as usual. As for the movies, except for a few small projects that are obviously shoddy, there is no decent one left."
"That is someone who has absolute resources and connections in the film industry. Who could it be?"
Qin Xi racked her brains. She had only started to get involved in the film industry last year. The first one was a low-budget one. Both director Chen Bingxia and Qin Xi made their debut. The second one was Tan Jing's debut, and a considerable part of the team was still Mei Ge's own people. Although Qin Xi had made two movies, she still had very few connections in the film industry. Suddenly, she had to think about which big shot in the film industry wanted to mess with her. Qin Xi was really confused for a while.
Sister Meng was also puzzled. Qin Xi had been hacked many times before, but this was the first time that she didn't even know who the enemy was.
"Boss Song has already used her connections to investigate, and I'm sure there will be an answer soon. But I really can't understand. I know you best, and you've always been considerate and thoughtful, smiling and welcoming, and never acted like a big shot to offend anyone. No one who has worked with you has bad things to say about you. You're so much better than those half-baked people who become famous within two days. How can someone still dislike you after doing this?"
Qin Xi shook her head helplessly, "Sister Meng, you are the one who is in the dark. You have been in this industry for so many years, can't you see clearly? If someone doesn't like you, it may not be because you have offended her, but it may be that you are blocking their way!"
Qin Xi couldn't help but sigh softly, "That's why they say that too much happiness leads to sorrow. Once people are proud, they tend to lose their sense of proportion. My speech at the awards ceremony was indeed too loud, and coupled with the commotion by Gu Chenxing, Brother Jing and Brother Di Shen, it fermented a lot on the Internet. That's why some people were targeting me."
Qin Xi looked up at Sister Meng, "Has anything special happened recently?"
Sister Meng thought for a moment, "There is one thing, you really shouldn't say it, things have been really bad recently. After you won the Best Actress Award, Sheena had already taken a fancy to your traffic. Now that you have actual results, the person in charge vowed to skip the probation period and upgrade your title. But I just got the news that the application was rejected by the headquarters. Sheena headquarters pays more attention to actual results in movies, and the results in TV dramas can only be said to be better than nothing. What they meant was that if you don't win a mainstream movie award, your career as a brand ambassador will be over."
The more Sister Meng thought about it, the angrier she got. "He's the president of the Asia Pacific region, but he's so untrustworthy! Has he forgotten what he looked like when he first approached her to ask for cooperation? When you were officially announced as the brand ambassador, Xi Liu created so much sales for Sheraton. Even the slow-selling items at the bottom of the box were sold out, and the classic items couldn't be ordered for several months. He smiled so hard at the time, and kept saying that he would give you the best treatment at Sheraton. But now he turns his head and doesn't recognize you..."
"I finally understand now. If it is not put into practice in the contract, it is just nonsense to make empty promises!"
Sister Meng was still mumbling indignantly, and Qin Xi frowned, "Another movie? I have a vague feeling that these two things are related, maybe they are the work of the same person! Who could it be?"
Qin Xi suddenly had an idea, "Sister Meng, among the brand spokespersons of Chanel, there is currently only one Chinese..."
Sister Meng hesitated, "You mean... Yue Ying?! She started making movies when she was a teenager and won all the major film awards. When it comes to the most talented actors in the domestic entertainment industry, most people think of her first. That's not the main reason. The most important thing is that she has a good business sense. She opened a film and television company with her agent early on, and the company has gathered many industry veterans. This makes Yue Ying's status in the film industry exceptionally transcendent. If it were her, she would indeed have the ability, but she is a senior like you, and she has no grudge against you, so why would she make things difficult for you?"
"Isn't there a holiday?" Qin Xi recalled the smile that didn't reach her eyes when Yue Ying handed the trophy to her on the podium at the award ceremony.
"Sister Meng, have you forgotten? From whose fingers did [The Biography of Yan Qing] slip into my hands?"
Sister Meng slapped her forehead and suddenly understood everything, "How could I have forgotten this? That's right, although Yue Ying has a grand slam in movies, the reason why she has never been the top 1 among big stars is because the number of TV series she has filmed is not many, and the quality is not good. She lacks audience appeal, and her fans are not at the same level as other big stars. What she lacks most is a phenomenal TV series like [The Legend of Yan Qing].
Jealousy drives people crazy. She probably forgot that [The Biography of Yan Qing] was the one she had left. She felt that it was obviously her hit drama, her glory, but you snatched it away? You even came close to present you with a big award, smiling on the surface, but in your heart you wanted to tear you apart with your bare hands! "
Qin Xi found it incredible. "Just because of this? Someone who can reach such a high level shouldn't be so narrow-minded! I really don't understand, after reaching her position, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? She really thinks highly of me. Can I be a threat to her?"
Sister Meng said bluntly, "Of course a 'Feige TV Queen' can't threaten her, but once you become a movie queen, it will be different! You are worthy of being a senior, you have a good trick, don't you want to be a movie queen? I will directly cut off your source of income, and you can't even get the script. Let's see how you can be a movie queen?"
