This brand was quite stylish in the country. Many rich women were loyal fans of it. When they saw the advertisement filmed by Li Qiru, however, they vaguely expressed their dissatisfaction with this spokesperson.
After Yabog received the relevant opinions, they were also quite troubled. They held the person in charge of the commercial shoot with Li Qiru accountable and stopped using that set of photos as further publicity for Yabog.
Li Qiru was furious when she heard that she had been suspended.
However, what made her even angrier was that Yabog immediately signed Jin Lan as their new spokesperson.
Wasn’t this a direct slap in her face?
Her manager had no choice but to persuade her. “Since they’ve given us the money, that’s fine. As for the rest, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
This matter caused Li Qiru to suffer heavy losses.
She could only salvage the situation in other ways.
Fortunately, her manager immediately contacted the famous screenwriter, Man Tianxing, for the audition for her latest work, ‘See You Next Time’. As long as she could get the female lead role in Man Tianxing’s latest work, all the troubles of the past would not be able to affect her anymore.
Yabog would also regret treating her like this.
Although Li Qiru had only participated in the first audition for See You Next Time, she had already bought the articles to create the illusion that she was very popular.
After Li Qiru finished the audition, she said to her manager, “Help me contact Mrs. Zhao, the screenwriter of Twins.
“Mrs. Zhao is old and doesn’t usually like to socialize. Why are you looking for her?
“The script for Twins is well written. I want to collaborate with her. She’ll join the cast with me for my next production and be my personal screenwriter.
She’ll guide me in my grasp of character relationships.”
Generally, capable artistes would bring screenwriters along to guide them in their scenes.
It was not a surprise that Li Qiru admired Mrs. Zhao, the screenwriter of Twins.
The manager understood. Although Mrs. Zhao did not leave the mountain where she resided easily and was difficult to contact, as long as they spoke nicely, there would definitely be a chance.
Sure enough, soon, Mrs. Zhao agreed to meet Li Qiru.
Mrs. Zhao was already in her 70s. Although she was still healthy, she did not often manage things.
Seeing Li Qiru, she smiled and said, “It’s a good thing for young people to have ideas and want to improve quickly. As long as they seize the opportunity to learn, they’ll definitely improve.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Zhao.” Li Qiru personally poured her a cup of tea. “Mrs. Zhao, I know you’re a famous screenwriter in the country. You have a very unique grasp of characters. When the time comes, can you come join me and give me some pointers?”
“What’s your next production?” Mrs. Zhao asked as she sipped her tea.
“It’s very likely that I’ll be the female lead of See You Next Time,” Li Qiru said with a proud look on her face. “It’s Man Tianxing’s new work.”
“Man Tianxing!” Mrs. Zhao’s tone was obviously agitated. “Okay, okay. As long as you join the cast, I’ll come and join you.”
“Really? That’s great! Thank you so much, Mrs. Zhao!”
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, “I also want to experience the charm of different genres. Although I’m old, I still want to maintain my youthful heart.”
“Mrs. Zhao, you’re still young.”
“The new generation surpasses the old. Nowadays, society belongs to the young. For example, the screenwriter who worked with me in Twins this time.
The younger generation will surely surpass the older generation.”
“Mrs. Zhao, didn’t you write Twins alone?” Li Qiru asked curiously.
“How should I put it? A script can indeed be written by one person. However, there are also people who are credited after their participation or for their suggestions.” Mrs. Zhao felt a little embarrassed when she said this.
However, Li Qiru took it as a hint and asked, “As long as you’re a little involved, you can claim some credit?”
“Yes, but it still depends on the opinion of the main person who wrote the script. It’s negotiable. If the artist can give an effective opinion or make a contribution to the script, I believe the person who wrote the script won’t object to giving credit to the artist,” Mrs. Zhao said seriously as if she had thought of something.
Li Qiru had an idea, but she didn’t make the request yet. She had to get familiar with Mr. Zhao before she could make some requests.
However, she already had a plan in her heart. Knowing that this path was not difficult, she was much more relieved.
As the Fei Tian Awards were about to be held, many celebrities received invitations.
Qiao Weiyang was no exception.
The Fei Tian Awards was a quadrennial TV show award. It was to select outstanding works from all the popular TV shows in the past four years.
As a very prestigious award in the country, being able to win the Fei Tian
Award was also a great affirmation for the actors, directors, and related staff.
Not only did Qiao Weiyang receive an invitation to the event location, but she also received a nomination.
When she opened the nomination, she frowned slightly.
Lu Mingjue saw this and asked, “Sister-in-law, what’s going on?”
“Take a look.” Qiao Weiyang handed her nomination to Lu Mingjue.
Lu Mingjue unfolded it and looked at it suspiciously. When he saw the words on it, his expression changed slightly. “Sister-in-law, it’s true that I didn’t handle this matter well… At that time, the production team and organizers asked me to confirm your schedule and time. I really couldn’t confirm anything, so they nominated Li Qiru as the candidate for Best Actress. You were nominated as the candidate for Best Supporting Actress.”
Qiao Weiyang had actually expected this, but when she saw those words, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
“Can you change it?” she asked.
“I’ll call and ask immediately.” Lu Mingjue picked up the phone and began to make calls.
He made several calls in a row, but every time, he put down his cell phone in disappointment.
“Forget it.”
When Lu Mingjue was about to start making calls again, Qiao Weiyang stopped him.
“Let me try again…”
“Forget it. Since the show has already been edited that way, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to change anything with the awards.” Qiao Weiyang also understood that she was just holding out meaningless hope.
Lu Mingjue put down his phone. “Sorry.”
“It’s not your fault. You don’t have to be sorry,” Qiao Weiyang said. “So be it, then.”
Lu Mingjue’s phone rang. He immediately picked it up and handed it to Qiao
Weiyang. “Sister-in-law, it’s Liang Kang.”
Qiao Weiyang took the cell phone and heard Liang Kang’s voice.
“Weiyang, I’m sorry. I’m very sorry. I really didn’t think of this when I signed up for the award. Now that the awards have been confirmed, there’s really no other way.. I’m sorry!”
