MTL - Please Smile at Me-Chapter 40 friend

Director Yu's full name is Yu Zhengqing, one of the best famous directors in China, with a strong box office appeal, the performance of his works is not bad, and he has made many heroines popular.

Zhang Yingying's ability to play the heroine of his film has become a big topic, and people have been discussing it since last year.

The originally planned second female lead is also a movie star, but unfortunately, it suddenly broke out a few days ago that she cheated on a married man while she was filming in another crew, and her image plummeted. Yu Zhengqing is not allowed to appear in his crew like this Such a thing, canceled the cooperation intention without hesitation.

As soon as Zhao Qingying returned to the company, she met an excited Chen Xiaohuan in the corridor. Chen Xiaohuan pretended to be mysterious and asked: "A crew sent me a script just now. Guess which movie it is!"

"'At the Right Time'." Zhao Qingying blurted out.

Chen Xiaohuan was taken aback: "How do you know?"

"Zhang Yingying said it." She returned to the office calmly, closed the door gently, and immediately screamed: "Ahhh! Show me the script! They are too fast!"

Chen Xiaohuan quickly handed it to her, and the two sat around together, reading the script with bright eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xiaohuan looked at her: "What do you think?"

Zhao Qingying was stunned for a long while before sighing: "It's pretty good, I like this character."

"But you haven't played this kind of role before, will it be difficult?"

"At the Right Time" takes the Republic of China as the background and tells a series of choices made by a group of young students when the country was in crisis. The heroine resolutely participated in the revolution, but the other students took different paths because of various encounters...

The character of the second female character is a bit complicated, not as wise and calm as the heroine, and has changed a lot before and after.

"Seriously, why do I feel that this role is tailor-made for me?" Zhao Qingying wondered.

"Do you want to be ashamed?"

"I didn't lie to you, don't you think I'm suitable for this kind of role? The previous roles were just a little superficial every time, and didn't show my true beauty."

Chen Xiaohuan rubbed her temples: "Can you control your narcissism?"

"I can't help it. The script says the beautiful woman in the city. Besides me, who else is worthy of this sentence?"

"..."

Zhao Qingying smiled suddenly, and slapped her with a palm: "How dare you distrust me, Yu Shu knows to cheer me up! Yu Shu is the best."

Chen Xiaohuan: "Why do you want to be a star? How suitable are you to be Yu Shu's brainless fan?"

"Being a celebrity while working part-time as an idiot fan, grasping both love and career... Ahhh, friendship and career!"

Chen Xiaohuan: "Did you express your true inner thoughts just now!"

Zhao Qingying: "I'm not, I don't! I'm just a mouthful!"

Chen Xiaohuan looked at her sharply, Zhao Qingying stared back: "Don't look, I'm going back to practice my lines."

"wish you success."

"Small sample." She smiled confidently, and when she walked to the gate, she found that the paparazzi was still conscientiously sitting in the car.

She stepped forward and knocked on the glass, and when the window was rolled down, the paparazzi looked at her timidly.

"Tired?" she asked.

Paparazzi: "Not tired."

Zhao Qingying: "If you want to say that you are tired, hurry up."

Paparazzi: "Tired..."

"So cute." She smiled, and took out a candy from her bag, "Here, I'll give it to you if I'm in a good mood today. Next time I see you taking pictures, I'll blow your head off."

The paparazzi held the candy with a dazed expression on his face.

Zhao Qingying happily took the script and turned around to leave.

After returning home, she first called Zhang Yingying to thank her. Although the two had little rift, they always felt that they were holding back their energy.

Her strength comes from the initial frustration of overtures and multiple petty quarrels. Until later, every time I met, I would be reminded by the other party, and I felt bored after hearing too much of the truth, especially after the other party was obviously more successful than myself, it sounded more like preaching.

As for the reason why the other party kept looking at her unhappy, she didn't know. She guessed, roughly the same?

The phone rang for a while before it was connected. There seemed to be a hint of urgency in the voice: "Hello? Zhao Qingying?"

"It's me, what are you doing?" she asked.

Zhang Yingying regained her composure, then wiped her hair with a towel: "I just came out of the shower and almost fell."

"Almost fell? After so many years, you still don't grow tall?" Zhao Qingying shook her head and sighed, "I don't care about you this time, you want to grow taller yourself."

Zhang Yingying smiled, remembering the time when the two first met. At that time, because her family conditions were not as glamorous as her roommates, she didn't want to use the single bathroom in the dormitory to take a shower. On the one hand, the water bill was expensive, and on the other hand, she didn't want others to see her embarrassment.

There were quite a few people in the public bath, and she was used to being alone, so no one noticed her whereabouts.

One day after taking a shower, I didn't pay attention to the floor. I stepped on some soap that was accidentally dropped by someone else. I fell a long way and fell at the door, with dirty water on my body, which made everyone laugh.

She was ashamed and embarrassed, but her knees were bleeding and she struggled to get up.

Just when she was scolding herself for being stupid in frustration, a roommate she was not familiar with suddenly appeared at the door.

Zhao Qingying's hair was wet, and she was wearing simple sportswear. It looked like she had gone to the swimming pool on the top floor.

"What happened?" Zhao Qingying asked.

"It's nothing." She shook her head reflexively, and shrank her head inward, "Go back, it's really okay."

Zhao Qingying squatted down, looked at her knee, and poked the edge lightly, causing her face to deform in pain.

Zhao Qingying smiled: "Is it all right?"

She looked up at her rather annoyed, but saw that she was smiling harmlessly, she was not as arrogant as usual, her face was not powdered, but white and flawless, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Does it look good?" Zhao Qingying asked her directly.

"..." She lowered her head abruptly.

Zhao Qingying stopped teasing her and stood up.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yingying thought she was finally leaving, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but the next moment the other party reached out and hugged her sideways.

She cried out in panic, and looked at the face close at hand in surprise: "What are you doing?"

"Tsk, you're quite light, you really deserve to be a dwarf."

Zhang Yingying: "..." I'm 165!

Regardless of everyone's eyes, Zhao Qingying carried him back to the dormitory, and met many people on the way.

Zhang Yingying was rather embarrassed.

Zhao Qingying whispered: "What are you afraid of? You will have to stand on a bigger stage in the future. This kind of embarrassment is just to practice your face. Come on, smile, and look at them. Whoever dares to laugh at you, you will stare back. "

"..."

After a long while, she quietly raised her head and looked at the people coming and going. In the corner of her eyes, she could see Zhao Qingying's white chin and sweat beads that were tensed from holding her with all her strength.

Zhao Qingying joked: "I didn't expect you to have short legs and poor balance. Eat more in the future and grow taller. If you are as tall as me, you will never fall."

"..."

Since that day, the two seem to have broken the ice and officially become good friends.

It has lasted for so many years, and the various experiences in between have long been countless. After graduation, the two went their separate ways, but she still has a trace of inferiority complex in her bones. Especially after discovering her other feelings, she was even more afraid to approach Zhao Qingying.

The other party is so dazzling, but she thinks wildly behind her back, as if she has tarnished this friendship.

Even though she is no longer the poor girl she was back then, she can accept gifts from the other party regardless of the price, and return more expensive things, but she still dare not speak clearly to the other party.

At least they are still friends now.

She coughed twice and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Then what, thank you."

She raised her eyebrows slightly: "what, please be clear, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Zhao Qingying curled her lips: "Thank you for the audition."

Zhang Yingying pursed her lips, not letting a smile overflow: "Well, have you read the script? How do you feel?"

"I think it's very good! It's very suitable for me, and I want to try it."

"Well, I also think it suits you, so I recommend you." She paused, "Oh, I showed the director the imprinted advertising video, and he was quite satisfied with your last Republic of China appearance, so he agreed to you Going to audition."

"That's it... I just said how could he fall in love with me." Zhao Qingying smiled, "Then don't bother me, you go to bed early."

"OK, good night."

Zhang Yingying stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at herself for a long time, and the curvature of the corner of her mouth gradually calmed down. After a long time, a slight sigh sounded in the room.

On the other side, Zhao Qingying thought about it and called Yu Shu anyway.

Yu Shu was dealing with the last bit of business in the office when Li Cen opened the door and came in and brought her a cup of coffee.

As soon as the phone rang, she picked it up.

"Yu Shu, I'm going to retreat for a few days, so I can't contact you for the time being."

"Well, we don't usually communicate much, so you can just close it."

"If you say that, I'm really autistic." Zhao Qingying fell back on the sofa and kicked her legs, "Zhang Yingying said that the director fell in love with my commercial video, you are really my little lucky star .”

"Don't dare to take it." Yu Shu smiled, seeing Li Cen sitting across from her observing her, she hurriedly put on a straight face.

Li Cen snorted, disgusted.

Yu Shu rolled her eyes, then looked directly at Li Cen, and asked the person on the phone, "What did Zhang Yingying say?"

Li Cen sat up straight instantly, looked at Yu Shu thoughtfully, and gave a thumbs up.

"Well, tell me, was I too stingy with her before?"

"This is what happened to you before. Although you are indeed a little self-willed, there is something wrong with her not talking about it. You can't say who is right and who is wrong. Anyway, friends are like this."

"Makes sense."

Yu Shu looked at Li Cen, who was winking wildly, and suddenly asked, "By the way, does Zhang Yingying have a date?"

Zhao Qingying's body froze, she sat up quickly, and said vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?"

"Hmm... I'm a little curious. I quite like her. I'm her fan." Yu Shu made up a reason.

But in Zhao Qingying's ears, the words sounded wrong, and she was frantically organizing words in her mind, when she heard Yu Shu ask a jaw-dropping question again: "Does she like men?"

Zhao Qingying:! !

Does Yu Shu know something? Do you know that Zhang Yingying likes women? Or did Yu Shu fall in love with Zhang Yingying? !

Any possibility would give her a headache!

She bit her lip and said, "Otherwise? Do you like women?"

Yu Shu paused, glanced at Li Cen unbearably, and said in a low voice, "I'm the one who was abrupt, sorry."

Zhao Qingying took a deep breath: "Yu Shu, something is wrong with you!"

"Where is it?"

"Yes!" Zhao Qingying raised her voice, but she couldn't speak, she just felt chest tight and irritable, and wanted to curse, so she simply hung up the phone!

"Hello?" Yu Shu yelled twice. Seeing that the other party really hung up, she was a little surprised and threw the phone on the table. She clasped her hands on the table, and said in a bad tone with the attitude of a negotiator, "She's angry."

"why are you mad?"

"Probably because I think I'm rude? It's really rude to inquire about friends' secrets indiscriminately."

"You just talk when you talk, why are you staring at me?" Li Cen said amusedly, "Why, do you want to take my anger out on me?"

Yu Shu snorted, folded her hands on her chest: "Otherwise?"

"Are you a fool? I didn't ask you to ask so directly. Oops, your EQ is really useless."

As soon as the words fell, Li Cen immediately asked, "So what? Does Zhang Yingying like men?"

Yu Shu nodded, feeling puzzled again, she nodded sharply!

Li Cen: "... hey."

Yu Shu: "... hey."

Li Cen: "Why are you sighing?"

Yu Shu: "I'm thinking about how to apologize."
