Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?
Chapter 677: The Enchanting Fox
They went to see a very good movie.
They didn’t recognize the lead actors, but undoubtedly everyone’s acting was excellent and spot on.
Sheng Tang could even analyze which character was the most outstanding, which actor’s performance was the most mature, the techniques used in editing and music, as well as the intention of the lighting.
But Gu Jiahui and Cheng Lichuan simply enjoyed watching a movie.
"This film has been out for just a week, and the box office has already exceeded one billion," Cheng Lichuan said, "That’s amazing!"
"It’s the Chinese New Year period. The box office only lasts for this one week, and next week it will fall off a cliff," Gu Jiahui said.
Cheng Lichuan looked at Sheng Tang, "When will Tangtang star in a Chinese New Year film? That way, we can enjoy your movie in peace during the New Year."
Sheng Tang laughed.
"Very soon." The one who answered Cheng Lichuan was Gu Jiahui.
Gu Jiahui gently embraced Sheng Tang’s shoulders, just like a normal boyfriend would, his voice tender, "How could my girlfriend just be a background extra in movies all the time?"
Sheng Tang: "..."
Cheng Lichuan was also unhappy, "You make it sound like you were the one who helped Tangtang up, when clearly it’s Tangtang’s own talent!"
"Whose real brother are you, anyway?" Gu Jiahui was displeased.
Sheng Tang laughed so hard at the side.
When she was together with Gu Jiahui, there was always an invisible web tightening around them, making the atmosphere stifling and their mood bad; but with Cheng Lichuan, it was completely different.
This wasn’t because of Sheng Tang, but because of Gu Jiahui.
With Cheng Lichuan around, he seemed to be able to drop all his pretenses and defenses, and act like a normal young man.
And the normal him was not someone Sheng Tang disliked; in fact, she thought the atmosphere was quite nice.
The Chinese New Year holiday ended, and Sheng Tang and Gu Jiahui had to go back to work at the company.
The artists department was having a big meeting.
This time, Sheng Tang saw everyone in the artists department, including Fu Qingcen, the top artist.
Instead of sitting around a round table, they were divided into two rows, with each row having a table, and everyone’s chair leaning slanting against the table.
This way, artists with important statuses sat in the front row; the second tier and third tier artists followed, and those who were not very popular sat in the back.
Sheng Tang was placed among the third-tier artists.
This classification was based on the company’s standards, not the entire entertainment industry.
Sheng Tang saw Fu Qingcen.
Fu Qingcen was about as tall as Sheng Tang, and in her youth, she probably had a bit of baby fat, with almond-shaped eyes and slightly rounded cheeks, giving her the look of a very endearing good girl.
According to Chinese aesthetics, Fu Qingcen was the kind of simple and pure beauty that appealed to both men and women; whereas Sheng Tang’s appearance leaned more towards what others described as "fox-like charm."
She was far less approachable than Fu Qingcen.
Fu Qingcen chatted with others but didn’t greet Sheng Tang. Even though Sheng Tang was the boss’s girlfriend, it wasn’t Fu Qingcen’s place to lower herself.
Sheng Tang also saw Qian Zhe Lin.
Qian Zhe Lin was seated next to her, as the company placed them in the same rank.
Qian Zhe Lin smiled at her, "What are you busy with after the New Year?"
"I haven’t accepted any jobs yet, still need to go for auditions," Sheng Tang said, "How about you?"
"My drama is about to start filming soon." Qian Zhe Lin, though trying hard to restrain himself, couldn’t hide his excitement.
The actress he was paired with was Yin Tong, the queen of TV dramas, a national goddess in her own right, and the only female artist whose female fans could rival those of popular male stars.
The male actors who performed with her would slowly move into the ranks of top stars, unless they were particularly unattractive or sabotaged themselves.
Qian Zhe Lin was handsome, had high standards for himself, and he could already see a bright future ahead of him, no wonder he couldn’t contain his joy.
"Congratulations," Sheng Tang said sincerely.
Qian Zhe Lin thought to himself, without Sheng Tang, he would never have had this opportunity.
However, saying these words would seem a bit pretentious, so he silently noted it in his heart and said to Sheng Tang, "You should come visit the set if you have time."
