I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 200 198. Eternal loyalty

Early in the morning on December 2, Yang Mi was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

He reluctantly opened his eyes, grabbed his phone and said impatiently:

"Hey, who?"

"Mimi, me."

"...Sister Zeng?"

Yang Mi was a little confused, but after hearing this, she quickly turned her head and glanced at her boyfriend who was sleeping soundly next to her. She walked out of the bed as quietly as possible, opened the door to the suite, and walked out.

Arriving in the living room of the room, she said:

"Sister Zeng, is something wrong?"

Her voice was still a little hoarse when she spoke.

Then I heard Zeng Jia ask:

"How did you get involved with a young model?"

"……what?"

Yang Mi, who was about to pour some water to drink, looked confused:

"Young model? What is a young model?"

This word... is a bit out of line for Yang Mi.

In fact, I don’t blame her, because this word is indeed a new word, and it was born less than half a year ago.

For mainlanders, it is too unfamiliar.

But in fact, the word was first coined in July this year by a member named Fu Ying from a local former girl group "COOKIES" in Xiangjiang.

In July this year, Fu Ying released a solo album "MY CUP OF T".

The album is actually nothing, but in order to compete for sales, her album also comes with a photo album.

Photos in the photo album...

Well, how should I put it?

Pretty good~

Fu Ying himself is not old, he is only 22 years old this year, and his appearance is quite beautiful.

The looks in the photo album are also different from traditional model looks, focusing on cute Japanese idol style.

It's like a swimsuit photo shoot or something.

In the traditional thinking of China, although there is also the term "flat model", these flat models are more formal in their clothing and rely on their outstanding appearance and style to find an audience. Usually, summer swimsuit photos are a bit marginal.

It cannot be logged into mainstream magazines.

Fu Ying's set of Japanese-style photos, with her bold style, revealing and non-revealing, and non-removing, girly photos, suddenly became popular in Hong Kong.

This set of photos even sold more copies than the album.

And...it's an old tradition in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong. The popularity of a subject will attract countless latecomers to start frantically exploring economic value.

Fu Ying took the lead, and the Japanese photo style quickly spread in the Xiangjiang area.

The models taking photos all have a very unified characteristic, which is to continue the Japanese style.

Japanese people like "natural beauty".

Therefore, most of the idols who can take these photos are high school students.

Although Xiangjiang is not so crazy about looking for a group of underage children every day... the models they are looking for also resolutely reject those so-called regular models who are tall, long-legged, and can walk like a cat.

That kind of model is not good, it’s too pretentious.

unnatural".

Therefore, we are looking for "amateur models" who have not received formal model training and are not even very old. They require big eyes, sweet smiles, cute and beautiful "amateur models" to shoot.

And because these girls are very young, over time, they have a name called "model".

This is the Cantonese name, which translates to "young model".

And Fu Ying is called the "originator of young models".

As a result, the term young model began to rise.

The rise of an industry is bound to usher in some chaos. First of all, it is because these young models have not received professional training, and some of them are not even as tall as 175, the standard line for models. I’m thankful to be over 1.6 meters tall.

Furthermore, she doesn’t have the temperament of models, so she can’t walk on the stage and can only rely on bold clothes to attract attention.

To put it nicely, it’s called boldness, but to put it harshly, it’s just selling meat.

Everyone liked it at first, but Xiangjiang's entertainment model is destined to be difficult to last no matter what is born.

After a few months of heat, the market for young models began to be compressed.

When everyone has become accustomed to selling meat, there is basically no difference between whether the meat is sold or not.

Therefore, after people in this industry have enjoyed the glory of being "crowded", when they feel lonely, on the one hand, the market is sluggish and there is no exposure. The other aspect is mental immaturity. Inevitably, the industry is in chaos.

As for the chaos, Zeng Jia did not elaborate.

But according to her, this industry is now willing to do anything for exposure and attention.

Don't talk about shame... there are many people who don't want dignity, body, or anything else.

Why do you get involved with these messed up people?

After understanding what Sister Zeng meant by "young model", Yang Mi was even more confused:

"I don't know...they either, what's the relationship?"

"Then why does a young model say that she is a good friend with you? Take a look at the email I sent you. There is a screenshot of the news on it."

"Um...ok."

Yang Mi responded, walked to the sofa and opened her laptop.

After logging into her mailbox and clicking on the email sent by Zeng Jia, she saw news links one after another.

The hotel's internet speed was quite fast, so she opened them all directly and read page by page.

…

"The first concert of Jay Chou's Xiangjiang concert was a complete success!"

"An amateur singer who is as good as the lead singer sings on the same stage with Jay Chou!"

"The director and supporting actress of "The Secret That Cannot Be Telln" appeared on the scene to cheer for Jaylen."

"Exposed! Young model angelbaby is actually good friends with Yang Mi. Yang Mi is loyal and recommends her friend to dance with Jay Chou. Photos of the sisters competing on the same stage have been leaked!"

"Yang Mi's friend is also a beautiful woman. Young model angelbaby personally dances with Jay Chou."

"Jay Chou is playing tricks on his fans. He seems to be inviting amateurs, but he is actually recommending company singer Deng Ziqi."

"Photos from the backstage of Jay Chou's concert leaked. Yang Mi visited the show in person and behaved in an intimate manner!"

…

After browsing around for a while, Yang Mi understood what was going on when she saw the photo that the girl who was her backup dancer sent yesterday.

She was taken advantage of.

After the girl asked for a group photo yesterday, she didn't do anything so-called "rinse it out and put it at home", but gave it to the reporter...

but……

be honest.

Yang Mi looked at the content on the news...

This girl named angelbaby is quite sensible.

Also very smart.

Although the entire content of the article was not spoken through her mouth, but was described through the reporter’s direct judgment, describing herself and this girl as “good friends”, “loyalty-minded”, “she became famous when she saw her friend” Even though she was struggling in the young modeling world, she reached out to help.”

But she could actually figure it out with her toes. If she hadn't told the reporter, how could the reporter have been able to discover so many "situations" with just one photo?

Not to mention that these situations themselves are false.

You can only make it up, you can't dig it out.

And even if you want to edit, you must first at least have a general direction.

Otherwise, it will be like those reports that are based on rumors, exaggerating that I went to visit Jay Chou, and then there will be some gossip reports. And if we look at it at this pace, rather than gossiping about his relationship with Jay Chou, the explanation unearthed by the media that he saw his friend's life was not doing well, helped him out, and pushed Jay Chou to be a backup dancer is more appropriate.

Although, this matter is likely to develop into this young model called baby consuming his popularity in the future, such as using the so-called "friend relationship" to participate in some variety shows or commercial performances, but at least he did not direct public opinion towards himself and Jay Chou. A "story-telling" situation.

On the contrary, he is exaggerating his "loyalty".

"Ha~"

Seeing this, she couldn't help laughing.

She could tell that this girl was trying her best to... get ahead.

But his brain is not that hot, and he is quite clever.

Not stupid.

I know that there are some things I can say and some things I dare not say.

That's why she accurately found a position. Compared with the Seven Injury Fist, which might have offended herself and Jay Chou, but could temporarily increase her popularity, she chose a safer one, but it made her even more miserable. The method of refusing the law resulted in this news.

Quite smart.

Not like a brainless idiot.

At this time, Zeng Jia heard her laughter and said speechlessly:

"Can you still laugh? These people just want to be famous and want to go crazy! You know! We have to clarify quickly and clear the relationship. What kind of bullshit young model, are you just trying to get popular and want to be famous and want to go crazy!?"

"clarify?"

After hearing Zeng Jia's words, Yang Mi asked back.

"Yes, clarification. Quickly clarify, the young model industry is very dirty and messy! I just looked for photos of this angelbaby... You will know after searching, it is really... cheap! "

Yang Mi ignored Zeng Jia's statement and continued:

"I think it's better not to clarify."

"..."

Zeng Jia's words were like someone suddenly grabbing his neck.

After a pause...

"What!?"

"Sister Zeng, calm down for a while."

Staring at a news article that revealed angelbaby's past photos and history, Yang Mi sat on the sofa, crossed her legs elegantly, and picked up the wide-mouthed crystal cup in the hotel.

There is obviously water in the cup.

She is obviously still naked now.

But...if anyone saw the aura exuding from her at this time, they would definitely feel that she was like a scheming fox female CEO at this moment.

I saw her eyes shining with the light of wisdom, holding up the phone and saying word by word:

"Not only did she not clarify, I actually pushed her."

"...Mimi, are you crazy?"

Zeng Jia was speechless.

"No."

After taking a sip of water, Yang Mi put down her cup and looked at the photo of a girl in cheap clothes, posing for the camera in a cute and sweet pose, but with a... "Harbor City" label on her chest, and continued:

"Why don't you want a gift that comes to your door?"

"...?"

Through the phone, Yang Mi could feel the confusion coming from the other side.

So, she explained:

"Sister Zeng, there are many labels that can be assigned to a person, such as pretty, beautiful, elegant, intellectual, generous, smart... But these labels are not enough to represent a person's inner qualities, but some labels can be easily lowered. A person’s worth, and it’s hard to take off.

For example, take Aaron Kwok, everyone knows that he is stingy, right? For example, when it comes to frugality, many people in Hong Kong will think of Liu Qingyun. For example, when it comes to loyalty, who do you think of? Brother Zhang Guorong, right? ...You see, these labels are not created by yourself, but given by fans. Some people want it but can't get it, and now...such an opportunity is placed in front of me. Why should I let it pass? "

"Uh... you..."

Zeng Jia was stunned...

"Mimi, what do you mean..."

"This is a great opportunity to establish yourself as a "loyalty-minded" persona, right? The news has become hot, so regardless of whether I knew her before or not... there are only three outcomes after clarifying it.

There is a kind of person who thinks: Ah, it turns out that it is a young model who is getting popular again.

This doesn't help me at all, because her popularity will rise no matter what.

What about the second type of person: Who is Yang Mi? who is angelbaby? Don't know, don't care.

This is nothing to lose to me, but it also doesn't help much. On the contrary, it will help her. I guess she figured this out and came up with this so-called "good friend" persona.

But what about the third type of person? If they are inherently biased against me, or don't like angelbaby, they will think: Ah, Yang Mi is so ungrateful. With her, you can share joys and sorrows, but not wealth.

I was labeled with this unreasonable label because of an unreasonable person. Sister Zeng, don’t you think it will be a lot of trouble and not worth it? "

"..."

Yang Mi's rhetorical question already made Zeng Jia not sure what to say.

I could only say subconsciously:

"So...I...what do we do?"

"Ha~"

Yang Mi liked hearing the word "we" very much, so she said unhurriedly:

"Uncle Xu once told me that you should be generous to your own people. When you treat outsiders, you should look as generous as you treat your own people. So...well, let me think about it."

As she said that, she looked at the time on her computer.

10:20.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Okay, Sister Zeng, don't worry about this. I'll do it myself. Don't worry about this... Okay, that's it for now, I'll make a call."

"Uh... Okay. But will she really listen to you and do what you tell her?"

"Well……"

After hearing this, Yang Mi thought for a while and said in a meaningful tone:

"I'll make an offer she can't refuse."

"..."

Zeng Jia hung up the phone with a feeling of absurdity but also...inexplicable emotion.

Then I sat in my office and was in a daze for a long time.

No one knows what she is thinking.

But after a while, she sighed:

"Oh... I made a mistake."

…

"Dudu... Hey, Sister Mimi, what's the matter?"

"Dani, are you up?"

"Uh... get up, get up. Sister Mimi, what's wrong? Just tell me."

"Well, please, please contact the person in charge of the dance group at yesterday's concert and help me find the phone number of a girl named angelbaby and ask her to contact you. Then... tell her that I will only give her half an hour. Time. Wait for me on the first floor of the hotel in half an hour. Don’t wait until the expiration date. Then send her my phone number.”

Following Yang Mi's words, Dani sat up, took a note and started recording Yang Mi's request.

When Yang Mi finished speaking, although she didn't know what happened, she still responded:

"Okay, Sister Mimi, I understand... Do I need to inform Brother JAY about this?"

"No need. I'll tell you Brother Xu directly. You can just contact me when you wake up."

"Okay, okay."

"Um."

The phone hangs up.

The girl looked at the photos on her laptop again and smiled brightly.

So, we each get what we need, right?

Smart little guy.

Smiling, she picked up the phone again:

"Hey, Seventh Brother... Hey, can you please be my driver later?... Hehe, um, okay, I'll contact you when I'm about to set off later."

…

"...Hello, hello, Sister Dani, I'm baby...what do you want to see me for...?"

"I'm not looking for you, it's Sister Mimi who's looking for you. I'll give you half an hour to come to the Pacific Royal Hotel. No waiting until the deadline, do you hear me?"

"..."

"Did you hear that?"

"Listen...I heard it, I know it!"

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, the girl sitting in front of the computer instinctively glanced at her news on the web page, with a timid look in her eyes...

At this time.

There was a ding, and a text message came on her phone.

When I opened it, I saw a string of mobile phone numbers, followed by a sentence:

"Sister Mimi's phone number."

"!"

I even gave myself a phone number! ?

In an instant, there was confusion in that timidity.

However, this confusion was quickly replaced by the thought of "it's too late" after seeing the time in the lower right corner of the computer for a minute.

She stood up and walked quickly towards the closet.

In less than three minutes, he put on a pair of jeans and a large sweatshirt, stepped on a pair of relatively new sneakers, and ran out of his rental house with a makeup bag.

Half an hour later.

After paying the fare, the girl who had already done a simple makeup in the taxi looked at the fountain of the Royal Hotel and dialed her mobile phone number.

Dudu~

"Hello."

"Mimi...sister Mimi, hello, I'm baby. I...I've gone downstairs to the hotel."

"Well, okay, I'll go down right now."

Toot.

The phone hangs up.

But it rang again immediately.

The girl looked down and quickly answered the phone:

"Hello...boss."

"Yang Ying! What are you doing!? You are so old! Who asked you to leak the photos of Jay Chou's concert!? Damn chicken! Are you crazy about wanting to be famous!..."

A round of invective rang out from the phone.

From beginning to end, her expression was calm.

Because these are all expected things.

If the people backstage leak out some guest insider information or backstage information at will...who will use this kind of dance company in the future?

That would be equivalent to cutting off other people's financial opportunities.

That's why she told Ayi yesterday that she would definitely not be able to stay in the backup dance troupe.

Because when she does something like this, no matter which dance company will use her again in the future.

She had already thought about this yesterday and was mentally prepared for it.

But thinking about it, she still came up with the excuse she had already explained:

"I'm sorry, boss, I'm really sorry. It's not me, it's really not me! I like Yang Mi, so I asked my roommate to develop the photos for me. Who knew she would take my photos and sell them to the paparazzi..."

"You are so cunning, do you think I am a child?"

Another series of insults.

Finally, amidst the curses of "You're done! You're a loser! No dance troupe in Hong Kong will use you anymore, go away", the other party hung up the phone.

And she pursed her lips again.

I feel irritable and want to smoke...

But at this moment, a commercial vehicle drove out of the basement.

It made two beeps.

She turned her head subconsciously and saw the car flashing its lights at her twice.

"..."

The heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Uneasiness appeared in his eyes...

But she walked over anyway.

After walking over, Sun Ting, who was in the passenger seat, got out. After taking a look at her, she opened the door directly.

In the middle seat of the car, Yang Mi, who was also dressed very low-key, even chose a pair of jeans, a wide sweatshirt, and a fisherman hat at the same time as her and flirted with her:

"Get in the car."

"Go...where?"

But Yang Mi stopped looking at her and didn't respond.

It was as if the choice was given to her again.

After hesitating for a few seconds, the girl got in the car.

Then the car door closed, and the silent driver Chen Qi drove toward a place unknown to the girl.

There was silence in the car.

Just the roar of the engine.

And the equally "young" Yang Mi sitting next to her seemed to be feeling endless pressure.

The pressure made her breathless.

Obviously, yesterday I had prepared all the expectations, pressures, and other possibilities.

But...she was still afraid when she found out that she was going to face Yang Mi...

I even thought about whether I was a little too hasty in doing so.

After all...not to mention Xu Xin and Jay Chou.

Just Yang Mi herself... crushing herself is no different than an ant...

atmosphere……

More and more stagnant.

And just when the girl felt that her heartbeat was about to stop, Yang Mi finally spoke.

He didn't look at her, but leaned on the chair, crossed his legs elegantly, looked out the window and said word by word:

"We met when we were filming the Chinese version of "RAY" in Shanghai."

"...?"

The girl was stunned...

Then I heard Yang Mi continue:

"I was not a girl at that time, and you were just a young model who had just signed a contract with a Japanese agency. We chatted for a while while waiting for the shooting, and we felt that we hit it off. You are a local in Shanghai, so we went to have dinner together after the shooting. The friendship that was formed. We had a great relationship and were always in contact.”

"...????"

"Later I became a girl, and you chose to come to Hong Kong to develop your career. Then after I became popular because of "The Untold Secret" and "The Golden Armor", I didn't forget you. I know your career is hindered now, so this time is special Invite you to be Jaylen’s backup dancer.”

"???????"

The girl was confused.

But Yang Mi continued:

"Also, I helped you find the magazine photos of the "Ruili" Christmas Girls in December. Remember to tell your agent that Sun Ting will give you the contact information of the "Ruili" people in a while."

After saying that, for the first time, Yang Mi turned her head. Although she looked directly at her, she asked as if she was condescending:

"Remember? This is the starting point of our friendship."

"Mimi...Sister Mimi...I..."

She seemed to want to say something, but Yang Mi didn't give her a chance and continued:

"Now, call the reporter you contacted last night. Tell him that you will go shopping with Yang Mi in Central. He can take photos, but they can only be secretly taken. Yang Mi does not know what you are doing. And This report, which can be published after the shooting, has only two core points.

First, Yang Mi has never forgotten you, a close friend. Although I don’t come to Xiangjiang often, every time I come, I will take you shopping and buy things. And try to find job opportunities for you as much as possible. And Yang Mi will give you money every time, but never much. Yang Mi will be very careful to protect your self-esteem.

Second, Yang Mi is a very loyal person to her friends. Even if her friends are in trouble without telling her, she will take the initiative to help as soon as she knows about it. She will also pay special attention to other people's feelings and will never use a condescending attitude of giving alms. . How much strength, how much strength. I never expect anything in return from others. She values ​​everyone's friendship. "

"..."

The girl who suddenly understood what Sister Mimi was going to do had lost the ability to speak.

After Yang Mi finished speaking these words, she put away her condescending eyes, and her face was filled with smiles and joy like a spring breeze:

"Baby, welcome to be my good friend. May our friendship last forever, okay?"

Under the eyes of the girl who was full of thoughts of "Did I take advantage of her, or did she take advantage of me?" I don't know how to describe it.

Yang Mi stretched out her hand.

while waiting for her reply.

Yang Ying instinctively lowered his head and looked at those extremely well-maintained palms that could be described as ice-muscular and jade-bone...

This time...who made the profit?

I?

Or her?

For no reason, an idea came to her mind.

I put my soul...

at this moment……

Betrayed to the devil.

Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket! !
