Chapter 112 What do you think of the Hong Kong entertainment circle?
After playing around for a while, Fan Xiaopang lay in Ji Qingxu's arms and said, "Do you know that the drama we starred in, 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' will be broadcast on Beijing TV in June?"
"Guess if I know?"
"Can't you speak properly?"
"Aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"
"You bastard, have you found someone new?"
"You have too many new lovers, which one are you referring to?"
"Oh, there are quite a few more. Are they the two girls I saw in the classroom tonight?"
"Weren't there three girls?"
"I'm not blind. That girl in black obviously has a boyfriend."
"sharp."
"Don't change the subject."
"Don't talk nonsense, one of them is a minor."
Hearing this, Fan Xiaopang blinked. "Underage? Then why is Zhang Jizong looking for her?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu chuckled and said, "So your true colors have been revealed? You also auditioned for 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'?"
Fan Xiaopang pouted and said dejectedly, "Try it? Sister Hua said I look like a fox spirit and am not suitable to play Little Dragon Girl at all."
"Haha, Sister Hua has a really good eye for people."
"Hmph, do you also think I'm a vixen?"
"Yeah, I love roasted food."
"Pah! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. You're the one who's burning things."
"Yes, yes, I have a fever, come and stop it for me."
"Can't you wait a moment? I'm already here, I'm not going to run away."
"I can't help it, I just want to *you* whenever I see you."
"Rude."
To avoid Ji Qingxu taking direct action, Fan Xiaopang quickly asked, "Are you sure Zhang Jizong is looking for you?"
"hold head high."
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaopang's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you really sure?"
Why would I lie to you?
Fan Xiaopang's lips curled into a smile. "Hmph, haven't you lied to me enough? Was it Ciwen's doing?"
"Yes, otherwise why would anyone even look at me?"
Fan Xiaopang asked in surprise, "Zhang Jizong didn't take a liking to you?"
Ji Qingxu said with a smile, "Yes."
Fan Xiaopang raised an eyebrow. "Then you'd better be careful when you join the crew. I heard that Zhang Jizong is petty and has a bad temper."
Ji Qingxu said with a smile, "I just need to do my best in my acting. Whether he has a bad temper or not has nothing to do with me."
Thinking of Ji Qingxu's skills and temper, Fan Xiaopang warned, "Don't make a move. Although he has left the TV station, he still has connections there. Besides, he debuted early. Although you have some fame, you are still far inferior to him. If you make a move, you will be in the wrong even if you are in the right."
"Do I look stupid?"
"Hmph, you don't appreciate people's kindness and concern. Besides, I know your personality all too well."
"Don't worry, look at me, I've been in this industry for so long, who have I ever had a conflict with?"
"That's because no one provoked you. Anyway, be careful. If you have to fight, don't do it yourself. Let Zhang Zhong do it."
"Then I doubt anyone would dare to lay a hand on him."
Thinking of Zhang Zhong's physique and appearance, Fan Xiaopang burst into laughter, "Did you deliberately choose an assistant like this?"
"Don't you know Zhang Zhong is my junior apprentice?"
"Hmph, you have so many junior disciples, I don't believe you just picked one randomly."
"Weren't you supposed to be filming? How come you had time to come over?"
"Not yet, filming will start in the middle of next month. How was your experience working with director Wang Sanri?"
"The filming pace is quite fast."
"That's it?"
"There are many actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan in the crew."
"What's your relationship with them like?"
"Just a normal cooperative relationship."
Seeing Fan Xiaopang's somewhat surprised expression, Ji Qingxu smiled enigmatically. "Do you think Hong Kong and Taiwanese actors are superior?"
After observing Ji Qingxu's expression, Fan Xiaopang said helplessly, "What's the use of my opinion? That's what the audience and industry insiders all think. That's what I thought back when I was on the set of 'My Fair Princess'."
Seeing that Ji Qingxu chuckled softly without speaking, Fan Xiaopang tentatively asked, "You don't like Hong Kong and Taiwanese actors?"
Ji Qingxu smiled and shook his head. "I have nothing to do with them. I don't care whether I like them or not, as long as they don't bother me."
"But they have more resources over there."
As soon as Fan Xiaopang finished speaking, he saw Ji Qingxu looking at him with an expression as if he were an idiot, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder. "What's with that look? Did I say something wrong?"
"Ha, with so many resources, why do they still need to come to the mainland?"
"Because the mainland market is big."
Seeing Ji Qingxu looking at him with an amused expression, Fan Xiaopang pouted and said, "But they are still able to maintain a dominant position after coming to the mainland, and the investors trust them."
"That's true, but I don't think these good days will last long."
Fan Xiaopang asked in confusion, "Why?"
What do you think of these Hong Kong film crews?
"Um, which aspect do you mean?"
"From what you can see, such as investment, actors, and treatment."
Fan Xiaopang said thoughtfully, "You mean that everything that reaches its peak must decline?"
"Don't you think their behavior is disgusting?"
"Is that how it is in this industry?"
"That's true, but they are ultimately outsiders. How long do you think everyone can tolerate them?"
"From outside? You mean we're from different circles?"
"Yeah, they look down on the mainland, yet they occupy its resources. Do you think the mainland is aware of this?"
"But right now we really can't compete with them."
"Yes, but I estimate this situation won't last long before it changes."
"Did you figure that out yourself?"
"I heard it from someone else."
Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes at Ji Qingxu upon hearing this, "You're full of lies. So you're not interested in the Hong Kong entertainment circle either?"
"No, even Golden Horse Award winners can only play minor roles, who am I to them?"
"Golden Horse Best Actor...you mean Liu Ye?"
"hold head high!"
"Yeah, that's true. Actresses are a bit better off, but male actors suffer. Leading roles are practically nonexistent; they can only play supporting roles."
At this point, Fan Xiaopang's eyes darted around, and he stared at Ji Qingxu, asking, "Are you reminding me?"
Ji Qingxu chuckled and patted her bottom. "Not too stupid."
"Giggle giggle!"
Seeing Fan Xiaopang suddenly chuckle, Ji Qingxu glanced at her with amusement.
Are you worried about me?
"right."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Fan Xiaopang felt very happy.
"Sigh, what would you do if someone started pursuing me?"
"Kill him."
"You're being indecent again. Don't worry, I don't like anyone else. But since I'm so good to you, don't you want to—hmm?"
"Don't worry, I will remain chaste for you."
"Get lost! Do you think I'm stupid? I'm asking you, have you slept with Gao Yuanyuan?"
"no."
"Really? Or not?"
"Why don't you go ask her?"
"Tch, you definitely slept with her... Wait, what are you doing?"
Ji Qingxu smiled and carried her towards the bathroom, saying, "Let me check you out."
"Are you feeling guilty?"
"I hope you can still be this stubborn later."
"See? You're just feeling guilty, that's why you're reacting so strongly."
"You wretched woman, how dare you use my words to contradict me?"
"Hehehe, is that not allowed?"
"Your tongue is quite flexible."
"Disgusting."
"There's something even more disgusting coming up."
"Put me down."
Ji Qingxu smiled and put Fan Xiaopang on the ground.
Fan Xiaopang glanced at the sink, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant. "Where's my toothbrush?"
"Throw it away."
"Ji Qingxu, are you trying to die?"
"Can't you be a little more hygienic?"
"You look down on me?"
"Are you fucking an idiot? You think a toothbrush that's been sitting around for almost a year is still usable? Here, take a new one."
Watching Ji Qingxu take a new pink toothbrush from the cabinet above the sink, Fan Xiaopang snorted and took the toothbrush. "You didn't throw away my clothes too, did you?"
"You haven't grown back, what am I supposed to throw at you?"
"Fine, so you think I'm too old."
"Hurry up and rinse your mouth, stop nagging."
Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes at Ji Qingxu, then picked up his toothbrush and started brushing his teeth.
After rinsing their mouths, the two went into the bathroom. Seeing Xiao Ji's energetic appearance, Fan Xiaopang's lips curled up slightly. "That little rascal."
"Want a bite?"
Fan Xiaopang punched Ji Qingxu in embarrassment and annoyance, "You're so irresponsible. Hurry up and scrub my back."
"Aren't you saying it backwards?"
"You didn't say it backwards. I'm going to film again soon, and it'll be for several more months. You should take this time to relax."
"Damn it, what did they do to me?"
"You don't want to?"
"Sit still."
Thinking of Ji Qingxu's skill in massage, Fan Xiaopang happily washed himself and found a small stool to sit down.
"Hey, why don't you get a bathtub?"
"Why put a bathtub in such a small space?"
After looking around the bathroom, Fan Xiaopang nodded, "That's right, it's a bit small. Remember to get a bathtub when you buy a bigger house, so we can take a bath together."
"I have no money."
"How about I lend you some?"
"Should we return it?"
"Of course you have to pay it back. If you don't have the money, then you'll have to pay it back with your body."
"Sure, a million a night."
"Tch, are you made of gold? Even gold wouldn't be as expensive as you."
Have you tried it?
"Ji Qingxu, I'll bite you to death, you believe me?"
"I don't believe you, why don't you try it?"
"Hmph, you'll learn your lesson soon enough... Move up a bit, to my shoulders and neck."
"here?"
"Uh... Ouch, be gentle, you're going to strangle me!"
"Shut up, I'm the professional."
"Okay, okay, you're so professional now. Hey, let me ask you something, why haven't you taken on any endorsements or commercial activities?"
'
"Too little money."
"what?"
"Didn't you understand?"
"No, your company's agent didn't talk to you about this?"
"I already said that, so what?"
How much is your endorsement fee?
"Less than 100,000."
"A year?"
"Um."
"Um... that's a bit low. Well... the remuneration for endorsements and commercial activities for mainland actors can't compare to that of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, especially for male actors. Not only is the remuneration for endorsements and commercial activities lower, but the opportunities are also fewer. I think you can choose some suitable ones to participate in."
"I know, we'll talk about it when a suitable one comes along."
"Why don't you seem to be in a hurry to make money?"
"I'm only one person, so why should I worry about anything? Besides, I'm not getting married, so what's the rush?"
"Then why did you say you'd support me for life?"
"You can't earn money right now?"
"Damn it, you broke your promise... Wait a minute, you..."
'
"Stop waiting, come on."
Fan Xiaopang glared at Ji Qingxu, then smoothed his hair and leaned closer.
"Ugh, Ji Qingxu, you bastard! I came here to relax, not to be tortured by you."
"You filthy woman, who was yelling all night?"
"You stinky man, it's all because of you that I've been kept from sleeping."
"Okay, okay, it's all because of me. Come on, eat some meat to replenish your energy."
When Ji Qingxu offered him the braised pork, Fan Xiaopang snorted and swallowed it in one gulp.
"It doesn't taste good."
"If you don't like it, spit it out."
"Nausea."
"Oh.
Seeing that Ji Qingxu chuckled softly without saying anything more, Fan Xiaopang glanced towards the kitchen and asked curiously, "You've never cooked before?"
"Why should I start the fire by myself?"
"How about we go buy groceries later and cook for ourselves?"
"Can you cook?"
"Can't you do it?"
"Won't."
"I think you can learn it."
"I won't learn."
"How about you go and learn something? You can cook for me when I come here."
"All I can do is cook noodles."
"How can you be so unromantic? It's so cozy when we cook and wash dishes together."
"Sure, you cook and wash the dishes, and I'll eat it all."
"asshole!"
Faced with this stubborn guy, Fan Xiaopang pouted in frustration. This bastard, he wouldn't even pretend. He glanced outside, his eyes darting around. "How about you take me to your school later? I've never been to university."
"OK."
