Chapter 17:

It was when Chu Cheng was having a party with Yu Anming and the others that he learned that Ji Qingzhou was on the hot search.

"An Yi told me," Yu Anming said, "She also said that you and Xiao Ji don't seem to be true love, and they actually gave him such a resource."

"We are not really in love either." Chu Cheng took a sip of wine and said nothing.

Qin Xue laughed, "But you are someone else's financial support. Xiao Ji followed you and wanted to give him some good resources. You are too unqualified."

"I didn't give him nothing, I gave him money."

Qin Xue sneered, "If Xiao Ji does other jobs, it's fine if you give money. He is a star. Isn't the most important thing for celebrities is TV, movie resources, etc.? He makes a movie and becomes popular, so what money does not have? Money is dead, and resources are renewable."

Yu Anming nodded, "That's the reason."

"But it's normal," Yao Xiuyuan leaned against the sofa with his legs folded, "If you really give him all the good resources, he will take off and maybe he will be ready to escape from your side, so it's safer to give money."

Chu Cheng disdained, "He is not the only man in the world. If he flapped his wings and flew, let him fly. I'm not going to have to. I'll find a new one again and will be as relaxed and comfortable as I can."

"Tsk tsk," Yao Xiuyuan said, "I saw you treat him like that day, and I thought you spoiled him very much, but I didn't expect it to be superficial."

Chu Cheng put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Yao Xiuyuan, "I am willing to spoil him, but I don't have to do it. He wants to leave, but I don't keep it. He wants to stay, but I don't drive him away. Everyone gets what they need, just be happy with each other. Do you still have to make a bad mood about such a thing? There is no need for this."

"Listen, Mr. Chu is still very enlightened."

"Since you don't care about these, you might as well give him a decent resource," Yu Anming suggested, "I heard from An Yi that their circle is quite serious with the red top white. If you are popular, everyone will hold you. If you are just an ordinary little star, the crew members ignore you. After all, you are yours and you can't always be in the 18th tier."

Chu Cheng felt that what he said made sense, "I didn't take this drama for him, but his agent took it for him. I've been busy for a while and I haven't paid attention to this aspect."

"Mr. Chu, are you eating a king meal?" Shao Yong interrupted.

Chu Cheng was speechless, "I haven't even eaten the tea before the meal yet."

"So pure, Plato," Shao Yong applauded him, "Mr. Chu's enlightenment is indeed high, and I can't do it like ordinary people."

Chu Cheng threw an orange and smashed it into his arms, "You just talk too much, shut up."

"No?" Qin Xue said curiously, "Don't you want to sleep with him? After so long, haven't you? Xiao Ji doesn't look like such a difficult person."

"I said, why are you so interested in my private affairs? You are so gossiping, are you going to be an entertainment reporter?"

"It's disappointing that you don't have any explosive points when you are an entertainment reporter."

"That's right, I thought you two had already been on the highway, but I didn't expect you to not even get in the driver's seat until now." Yao Xiuyuan smiled.

Chu Cheng felt that they said a little too much today, "Shut up, you guys, you guys have their mouths."

Yu Anming smiled, "Even if you two are nothing, you should give it to such a living person who is with you."

"I didn't say I didn't give it to you. Didn't I forget it? Wait for me to take a look, discuss with his agent, and find him a better resource."

"You still need to find one? You have so many IPs under your command and you have money. Just invest one and let him be the male lead." Shao Yong said while peeling the oranges.

"I don't have to find someone who is suitable for him, and the market is popular. I really think that I am like those fools, who only know how to add to the crew, and I don't even care whether the role is suitable?" Chu Cheng shook his head, "Silly."

Shao Yong picked up the orange in his hand and smashed it on him, "You are just smart."

Chu Cheng took it and ate a piece of it, "I'm not smarter than you."

Shao Yong:...I have never seen such a shameless person!

Ji Qingzhou felt that he was a little tired of filming. This kind of fatigue was not the fatigue of filming itself, but because the filming time was too loose and the time for waiting for the show was too long. Not only that, when he was putting on makeup in the morning, the makeup artist who put on his makeup often went to others as he put on makeup.

Sometimes, he got up at five in the morning and went to do his makeup at six in the morning, but because the makeup artist was halfway through, he went to others. When she came back to put on makeup for Ji Qingzhou, it was already past nine o'clock when she handed over the makeup.

Ji Qingzhou felt that this was a waste of time. He chose one morning and discussed with her, "Sister Xin, either I will come later in the future. You can make up for Brother Liu first, and I will wait until he is almost finished before coming over."

The brother Liu mentioned by Ji Qingzhou is the fourth male lead in the play, with his full name Liu Xu, who plays the friend of the male lead Zhang Fei in the play.

"How can this work? The notice is all written on it. Your makeup time is six o'clock. If you come late and you can't hand over your makeup normally, you will be scolded by me, not you."

"But now, every time you put on makeup for me halfway through, you go to Brother Liu to put on makeup. I'm working here and waiting, which is a waste of time. It's better to spare this time and move my makeup time backwards, so that you can focus on only one person in charge of each time period. What do you think?"

"I think you're just looking for trouble." Zhao Xin was a little dissatisfied with the fact that one person had to be responsible for the makeup of two people. Others started to put on makeup at six o'clock, which was the makeup of the heroine. She put on makeup for the supporting role.

"Why are you having many questions? The time schedule on the announcement is clear and clear. You just come to put on makeup at six o'clock, you hand in makeup at nine o'clock, Liu Xu put on makeup at seven o'clock, and you hand in makeup at eight o'clock, don't I have to keep him close first? If you have a problem, you tell the deputy director that these times are all set by him. What do you say to me? Can I still give you time to change it? Is the crew your family? Everything has to be done according to your ideas. It's so amazing, why don't you play the male lead?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xu also came to the dressing room. Seeing that Zhao Xin looked bad, he asked her, "What's wrong with Sister Xin?"

Zhao Xin sneered, "You are here just right. Ji Qingzhou thought I wasted his time on makeup for you. Or you would say to the deputy director and change the makeup artist for you."

"I don't mean that." Ji Qingzhou explained, "I just think the timing is not reasonable. It can be divided into two time periods, so why do we have to mix together?"

"Just just mess around," Liu Xu said without any worries. "Just just arrange the notice form, just wait for an hour? Just wait."

Xiao Qian was dissatisfied and thought to himself, why didn’t you wait? You came later than us and handed in makeup earlier than us. Why didn’t you wait an hour longer?

Zhao Xin glanced at Ji Qingzhou, "Did you hear it? Liu Xu has no objection. You have a lot of things. If you have any objections, go to the deputy director and say, don't tell me, I'm working for someone else. After you play the show, you pat your butt and leave, we may have to continue to cooperate."

Ji Qingzhou was a little helpless, "Sister Xin, the reason I said these things to you is because you are my makeup artist. I need to discuss with you first. Only when you agree can I go to the deputy director to coordinate. Otherwise, I will go over you directly and coordinate with the deputy director. Wouldn't that be very disrespectful to you?"

"Then don't talk to the deputy director about this. It's better to have less than more things. This is good. I don't think there is any problem, what do you think?"

Ji Qingzhou felt something was wrong, but what else could he say? He could only say, "Okay."

Zhao Xin was satisfied and turned to put on makeup for Liu Xu. Liu Xu looked at Ji Qingzhou from the mirror and coaxed her sweetly, "Sister Xin, don't be angry. You are dressing so beautiful today. If you keep getting angry, you will ruin such a good makeup."

Zhao Xin laughed, "You can talk."

"I don't care," Liu Xu stood up and said without a pain in his back. "If Xiao Ji really cares, it's okay to put on his makeup first, I'll wait for him."

"How can you do it? Your makeup delivery time is eight o'clock. After eight o'clock, it's my problem."

"Don't I feel sorry for my sister?" Liu Xu looked at him through the mirror. "Sister, how hard you are. You will start to put on makeup at six o'clock. After you put on makeup, you still have to stay at the shooting site to make up for us. It's so hard."

Zhao Xin sighed, "I wish everyone was as sensible as you."

Ji Qingzhou sat down speechlessly as they sang together, feeling boring.

He promised Zhao Xin that he would not find an associate director for this matter, and he really would not talk about it to the deputy director. However, Zhao Xin did not feel good about him because of his words. Instead, he felt that he was indeed a newcomer and was easier to control.

Zhao Xin has been in this circle for several years, and she has not had the best skills in makeup, but she has grown a lot more than that of the red-topped white. She wanted to make up the male protagonist Chen Jiyuan, but it was Ji Qingzhou and Liu Xu who were in her turn. Liu Xu coaxed her and praised her, so she was willing to put on makeup for Liu Xu. Ji Qingzhou is not a sweet-mouthed person, and in the conflict caused by time before, Zhao Xin unconsciously began to slackew on him when he put on makeup.

Makeup is a thing that can be very perfunctory or focused. In the past, Zhao Xin would not answer the phone when she put on Ji Qingzhou's makeup, but now she would. She would answer the phone after Liu Xu left. The call time was not long, just 20 minutes. Then, as the time for handing over the makeup was almost up, he hurriedly drew a few strokes for Ji Qingzhou. Ji Qingzhou's foundation was there, and she looked handsome even without makeup, so she would draw a little bit, which was enough to deal with the director.

But Xiao Qian was very dissatisfied. When Zhao Xin answered the phone again and was about to put on Ji Qingzhou while calling, Xiao Qian finally couldn't help it, "Sister Xin, what do you mean? Why don't you call Brother Liu when you put on makeup, but when you put on Brother Ji in our family, you start calling."
