Chapter 172
Song Xixi and Gu Minshan looked at each other, and were silent for a moment before slowly answering Gu Minshan's questions.
"I don't know how good Sun Pingsheng's true level is. But in terms of popularity, he is not as high as you; in terms of winning the prize, he is not as much as you." Song Xixi paused a little and smiled slightly, "I can't think of a reason why the investor wants Sun Pingsheng to replace you."
"The investor is the old man. They will use whoever they want to reuse, and there is no need for any reason, right?" Gu Minshan asked with a smile.
Song Xixi fell into silence and took a sip of coffee slowly.
She doesn't like adding sugar when drinking coffee, and the bitter taste spreads in her mouth.
Song Xixi took the spoon and gently stirred the coffee, "Actually, Director Gu, you don't have to do this. As you said, the investor is the old man. Which artist they want to promote is their freedom and right. You really don't have to go against them."
After leaving the crew, Song Xixi found someone to learn about the whole story.
It was already a foregone conclusion that Song Xixi played the role of the female lead Yao Yao. After all, the contract was signed and even the deposit was paid.
But I don’t know what happened in the middle, but the investor suddenly changed his mind and wanted to change Xu Xinran to play the role of the female lead Yao Yao.
The reason why the investor firmly changed the heroine is: Song Xixi has no traffic and no popularity, so she can't stand it up.
The ratings of idol dramas, Xu Xinran, is different. Putting aside her acting skills, she wants traffic and popularity.
However, Gu Minshan tried hard to protect Song Xixi in terms of investment, saying that Xu Xinran was more suitable to play the role of Yao Yao.
Speaking of which, Gu Minshan and Huo Qi have a somewhat similar temperament, and they are a bit arrogant in their bones. When choosing characters for the script, they unswervingly believe in their own vision of choosing people.
Gu Minshan's refusal to compromise eventually angered the investors.
In a fit of anger, the investor also withdrew director Gu Minshan.
"A qualified director should be responsible for his works." Gu Minshan said: "When good actors are the soul of film and television works, and good actors are also the quality assurance of film and television works."
"I admit that the investor is right. In terms of traffic and popularity, you are indeed not as good as Xu Xinran. But I believe that with my own eyes, you are more suitable and more appropriate than her."
"Director Gu said that actors are not qualified to choose directors, but sometimes, for many considerations, such as the interests of the platform and the guarantee of ratings, the director may not be able to choose the candidates he likes as he wishes."
Song Xixi said: "Director Gu, I'm sorry! I'm implicating you this time."
"I don't accept your words of sorry." Gu Minshan smiled, "This is just my own choice and it has nothing to do with you. There is no need for you to take all the responsibilities on yourself."
Gu Minshan competed with the investor repeatedly, but it was not entirely because of Song Xixi.
He only wants to make good works. In his opinion, if the actors are not selected well, especially the leading actors, it will definitely become the biggest failure of the work.
The work is the director's hard work, and what Gu Minshan couldn't accept the most was watching his work be destroyed.
When the investor pointed at his nose in anger and cursed, "If you don't agree to the substitution, then you can get out of here." Gu Minshan was not angry, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Minshan raised his wrist and looked at the time, "It's getting late, I have something to deal with, so I'll leave first."
"Okay." Song Xixi said: "Director Gu, be careful on the way."
Gu Minshan slowly stood up and stretched out his right hand to Song Xixi, "God will make people do it. Although there is no chance to cooperate this time, the future is long, and I believe we will definitely have a chance to cooperate."
Song Xixi held Gu Minshan's right hand, "Thank you, Director Gu! I look forward to having an opportunity to cooperate with you."
Tong Xin booked a flight ticket to return to Sichuan City that day. The two of them had not much luggage, so it didn't take too much time to pack it up.
The so-called enemy road is narrow, but that's just the case.
Song Xixi and Tong Xin walked out of the hotel with their suitcases and actually ran into Xu Xinran head-on.
Just as the two were about to pass by, Xu Xinran suddenly reached out to block Song Xixi's way.
Xu Xinran took off her sunglasses and spoke in a sarcastic tone, "There is a saying that goes, don't wear such a big hat if you don't have that big head. If you have a little bit of self-knowledge, you won't end up in a mess today."
Song Xixi was not angry either, and her face was light, "Miss Xu, is that right?"
Xu Xinran looked shocked, and her eyes were clearly saying: How could the hell do you not know me? What kind of pretending?
Song Xixi said indifferently: "In addition, this is the second time we meet. I don't know when I offended you, and you made you run to me and show your self-righteous superiority."
"You!!!" Xu Xinran suppressed the anger that was easily provoked by Song Xixi, and looked up and down with a picky look. The more she looked, the more angry she became.
Do women need reasons for hostility?
No, there really is no reason.
As Song Xixi said, did she offend her if she did something?
To be honest, there is really not.
But she just hates Song Xixi, and from the first time she sees her, she hates it.
This woman looks so dazzling. Wherever she is there, everyone is the focus.
"The sense of self-righteousness?" Xu Xinran sneered softly, "Compared to you, I can't be considered self-righteous."
What is a young artist from the 18th tier to compare with her?
Song Xixi hated Xu Xinran's contemptuous scrutiny look, as if in her eyes, no one else was a human, but a dog.
"In terms of popularity, I am indeed not as good as you." Song Xixi laughed instead of anger, and said slowly and slowly: "Miss Xu, I believe you must have heard such a saying: Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not blessed for a thousand days."
"The entertainment industry has always changed every day, and no one can continue to be popular for a long time. Miss Xu, you are so arrogant and arrogant. It is best to burn incense every day to pray that you will never fall off the altar. Otherwise, you will be trampled under your feet and laughed at and insulted... I am afraid that Miss Xu will not accept it."
Xu Xinran sneered, "This is really the funny joke I have ever heard. What's the difference between you, a little bastard, whether I will fall from the altar, and a beggar, whether a millionaire will go bankrupt."
"I don't know if I will be stepped on my feet in the future. I only know that today, Song Xixi, you were stepped on me."
