Chapter 179: The Unreconciled Fan Bingbing

After walking out of Miracle Film and Television, Huang Bo changed from the little follower look he had before, high-spirited and vigorous. The 1.7-meter height walked out with the momentum of 2 meters, and then kept patting the chest of his friend Gao Hu beside him and asked:

"Is your Brother Bo awesome? Just say if it's awesome, 500,000 for 1 song!"

At this moment, Guan Hu and Gao Hu, who had obtained the investment, were also full of joy, giving a thumbs up to Huang Bo: "Brother Bo is awesome!"

The few people walked away talking and laughing, planning to find a place to have a good meal first.

Some are happy and some are sad. The one who is sad is none other than Fan Bingbing, who is known to the public as the maid Jin Suo in *My Fair Princess*.

At first, after *My Fair Princess* became popular, Fan Bingbing was also extremely happy. After all, many people could recognize her on the street, shouting "Jin Suo, Jin Suo," which made her feel that she was going to be a star.

But later, she slowly discovered that everyone mentioned Zhao Wei and Jiang Qinqin, and when they mentioned her, it was Jin Suo.

Facing Jiang Qinqin, Fan Bingbing naturally didn't dare to do anything. Jiang Qinqin had Wu Yuchen behind her, and she was a serious film actress with a representative work like *Ditto*.

But for Zhao Wei, who also debuted as a newcomer, Fan Bingbing was a bit unbalanced in her heart. They were in the same play, and she didn't look worse than Zhao Wei, but after one *My Fair Princess*, Zhao Wei became popular, while she was just a little maid Jin Suo with no name.

In this day and age, there is no such thing as the "Three Sisters of My Fair Princess." When everyone mentions *My Fair Princess*, it is the pair of real and fake princesses, Little Swallow and Ziwei. The maid Jin Suo is naturally a slave in terms of status. How can she compare with the master in the audience's heart?

Under this psychology, when Fan Bingbing was filming *My Fair Princess 2* before, she always wanted to compete with Zhao Wei, which is commonly known as grabbing scenes. As for the result, naturally, she was scolded. There were also staff members in the crew who mocked her: "A maid, why grab scenes so much, just be a good green leaf!"

This naturally made Fan Bingbing feel extremely aggrieved and dissatisfied. Which actress doesn't want to be the female lead?

But there was no way. In the crew, she could only obey orders and honestly finish filming *My Fair Princess 2*, hoping that she could get a chance to be the female lead in other plays later.

But after returning to Seeing Qiongyao's company, she found that most of the roles the company gave her were similar maid roles, and the rest were small supporting roles. You have to know that after *My Fair Princess 1* was broadcast in Taiwan last year, she had already played a maid several times, such as the maid Xing'er in *The Legend of Flying Daggers*. As a result, it had been almost a year, and they still gave her such roles!

In contrast, she heard that Zhao Wei not only received many invitations for female leads, but Seeing Qiongyao was also continuing to tailor a TV drama for Zhao Wei. Comparing this treatment with hers, it was simply one in the sky and one on the ground.

Fan Bingbing was very indignant. Why should she always be a maid?

Therefore, Fan Bingbing planned to take the initiative and go to Seeing Qiongyao to have a good talk, hoping to win a chance for herself!

Seeing Qiongyao's company, at this time Seeing Qiongyao was chatting with her good daughter-in-law and company general manager He Xiuqiong.

"Sigh, why won't Zhou Jie listen to me! How good was the Er Kang he played, how much everyone liked it, why did he have to go play some black-faced Bao Gong! With Jin Chaoqun in front, he will only be scolded if he plays it again, and the audiences in Taiwan and Hong Kong have long been tired of watching it!" Seeing Qiongyao sighed repeatedly.

She had recently specifically taken out *Mist and Rain* to adapt it again, wanting to create a new *Romance in the Rain* with the original cast of *My Fair Princess*. Zhou Jie was the male lead she had originally set in her heart. She didn't expect him to run away to play Bao Zheng!

It really hurt her heart!

He Xiuqiong smiled and served Seeing Qiongyao a cup of tea: "Mom, don't be sad, Zhou Jie's temperament is a bit stubborn, and he hasn't learned a lesson yet. When his TV drama cools down in the market, I will go and persuade him again."

He Xiuqiong and Seeing Qiongyao were both certain that Zhou Jie's *Young Justice Bao* would fail. On one hand, because Jin Chaoqun's *Justice Bao* was too classic, and on the other hand, because the audiences in Taiwan and Hong Kong were tired of watching the theme of *Justice Bao*.

A few years ago, *Justice Bao* became popular in Taiwan. CTS didn't act like a human and sold the copyright to both TVB and ATV in Hong Kong, causing both to broadcast *Justice Bao* at the same time. Whoever didn't broadcast it would have lower ratings.

Then TVB took the lead in changing its strategy and invited Ti Lung to play Justice Bao, surpassing ATV. When ATV saw this situation, they simply dug Teacher Jin Chaoqun from Taiwan at a high price to specifically film *New Justice Bao*, which achieved the final victory. This battle of Bao Black Charcoal that lasted for two years in Hong Kong finally ended!

That's right, the people of Hong Kong watched "Justice Bao" for two whole years; whenever they turned on the TV, it was that black face! Zhou Xingxing's "Hail the Judge" was filmed precisely to ride that wave of popularity.

The *Justice Bao* in Hong Kong naturally spread to Taiwan, and Taiwan also followed and watched it for two years. Therefore, many audiences in Hong Kong and Taiwan were really tired of watching *Justice Bao*!

Subsequently, Seeing Qiongyao sighed again: "Not just Zhou Jie, but also Qinqin, saying that she doesn't want to act in TV dramas anymore. Both the male and female leads ran away. Let alone *Romance in the Rain*, now even *My Fair Princess 3* is difficult to handle!"

He Xiuqiong couldn't say anything when she heard this. Seeing Qiongyao had personally picked Jiang Qinqin at the beginning. Who would have thought that Jiang Qinqin would suddenly act in a film *Ditto*, and suddenly become a popular film actress? It was reasonable for her not to want to act in TV dramas anymore. Filming *My Fair Princess 2* was still something they begged for a long time with Hunan TV station before she nodded and agreed.

And let alone they didn't sign a brokerage contract with Jiang Qinqin, even if they did, they wouldn't dare to do anything to her. After all, she had Wu Yuchen standing behind her. This person is now a truly popular great director, and he can't be offended at all.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and then the secretary led Fan Bingbing in.

"Hello, Aunt Seeing Qiongyao, hello, General Manager He!" Fan Bingbing took the initiative to greet.

Seeing Qiongyao nodded to her, and He Xiuqiong showed a kind smile after seeing Fan Bingbing and asked:

"Bingbing, are you used to being in Taiwan recently? How do you feel about Taiwan?"

"General Manager He, Taiwan is very good here. Not only is it prosperous, but everyone is very enthusiastic, and there is no obstacle in communicating in Mandarin. It feels very kind!" Fan Bingbing also smiled and picked the good words to say first.

He Xiuqiong nodded after listening, and then asked about her intention: "Bingbing, treat the company as your own home when you arrive. If you have anything, just say it."

When Fan Bingbing heard He Xiuqiong's words, and then saw Seeing Qiongyao drinking tea on the side, she took a deep breath and said: "General Manager He, I, I don't want to act as a maid anymore, can you give me some other roles?"

When He Xiuqiong heard her words, she carefully looked at the little girl in front of her: melon-seed face, peach blossom eyes, cherry mouth under a small nose, and ruddy skin and face. She had become more and more beautiful this year.

She felt that Fan Bingbing's foundation and qualifications were worth cultivating, so she smiled and said: "Bingbing, I know. In the future, I will ask your agent to change you to some other types of roles, and I won't let you be stereotyped as a maid."

When Fan Bingbing heard this, a trace of joy rose in her heart: "Thank you, General Manager He!"

Then she hesitated for a moment, gathered her courage, and said: "General Manager He, can you give me a chance? I want to play the female lead."

Seeing Qiongyao, who was drinking tea on the side, glanced at her directly, and an impression suddenly arose in her heart: pushing her luck!

However, Seeing Qiongyao didn't speak. She believed her daughter-in-law would handle it well.

He Xiuqiong also looked at Fan Bingbing deeply when she heard this, but she wasn't surprised. Her mind turned, and she guessed the girl's thoughts, and then continued to say with a smile:

"Bingbing, if I remember correctly, you are only 17 years old now, right? You, you are still too young now. How can it be so easy to play the lead? You need acting skills, appearance, and matching temperament. These all need you to accumulate and learn slowly.

Think about Jiang Qinqin and Zhao Wei. They have both studied acting professionally for several years and have quite a lot of film and television experience. You still need to learn and hone. After honing for a few more years, when you reach their level, the company will naturally give you a chance to perform."

"But, but I think I'm not worse than Zhao Wei, I just want a chance..." Fan Bingbing still wanted to try her best to fight for it.

He Xiuqiong frowned when she heard this. This girl!

She was just about to say something when she heard the sound of a teacup being placed on the table not lightly or heavily. It was Seeing Qiongyao.

Seeing Qiongyao was already in a bad mood because of Zhou Jie and Jiang Qinqin, and she didn't expect a little girl to push her luck in front of them.

Seeing Qiongyao said with a cold face:

"Having ambition is a good thing, but when you enter society, people must first recognize themselves, know how many pounds they weigh, what they can do, and what they cannot do.

You say you want to play the lead, then I ask you, do you have the knowledgeable, gentle, and elegant temperament of Jiang Qinqin? Do you have the agile acting skills and the quirky energy of Zhao Wei?"

Seeing Qiongyao didn't wait for Fan Bingbing to reply and continued:

"Xiuqiong has been persuading you to learn and accumulate more. This is a golden rule.

I have read your information. You only graduated from junior high school and went to learn acting. The female leads I write, not to mention all talented women who are articulate, also have a scholarly atmosphere. Do you think you have this temperament now?"

"I..." Fan Bingbing was captured by Seeing Qiongyao's momentum and couldn't answer for a while.

Seeing the girl being unable to answer, Seeing Qiongyao felt a little better, and then her tone turned better, and she said in the tone of an elder persuading a junior:

"Bingbing, being young is your disadvantage and also your advantage. Take advantage of the time to learn more. After a few more years, suitable roles will be arranged for you. Auntie won't lie to you."

After speaking, Seeing Qiongyao smiled at the little girl standing in front of her. Seeing Qiongyao had already thought of the best development direction for Fan Bingbing: a professional mistress, a villain female lead in the play.

This girl was born with a charming bone. It would be a pity not to play a fox spirit. This was the feeling that arose in her heart when she saw Fan Bingbing just now. If she performed well, it wouldn't be impossible to give her more scenes.

As for the big female lead? Don't even think about it!

Her Seeing Qiongyao's female leads have always needed to be gentle, pure, and kind. How can a fox spirit play them?

At this time, Fan Bingbing's mind turned around. Although Seeing Qiongyao didn't scold anyone, she described her as worthless. Her acting skills were not as good as Zhao Wei's, her temperament was not as good as Jiang Qinqin's, and she also laughed at her for having low education and no culture.

This suddenly made her feel aggrieved and indignant, and her eyes almost turned red.

Fan Bingbing had been strong since she was a child. At this time, the wild temper of chasing boys and beating them up came up instead. In her heart, she no longer had fear of Seeing Qiongyao:

"Teacher Seeing Qiongyao, I have heard a sentence, which was also said by the great writer Eileen Chang: 'Fame should be early!' And I heard that when Brigitte Lin starred in your *Outside the Window*, she was not yet an adult.

I am also not a junior high school graduate, I am a secondary school graduate.

I just hope Teacher Seeing Qiongyao gives me a chance to prove myself!"

Hearing Fan Bingbing's words, Seeing Qiongyao couldn't help but be stunned, and then a burst of anger and disdain rose in her chest. You little maid also deserve to compare with Brigitte Lin?!

Who is Brigitte Lin? That is the first generation of Qiong girls, the person who made Seeing Qiongyao's plays popular, and the beginning of her Seeing Qiongyao's fame in the film and television circle! She is also the most successful Qiong girl to date!

Seeing Qiongyao said angrily: "What a sharp-tongued little girl, I reasoned with you well, but you don't listen! Fame should be early, but it also depends on whether you have this life!"

Then Seeing Qiongyao turned to her daughter-in-law He Xiuqiong and said: "Xiuqiong, do you know who I thought of when I saw this girl just now?"

He Xiuqiong was obediently acting as a foil on the side: "Who?"

"Qingwen."

He Xiuqiong of course knew who Qingwen was, the maid most favored by Jia Baoyu in *Dream of the Red Chamber*. Her beauty was top-notch, but her background was low, and she wanted to fly onto the branch, but the final outcome was miserable.

Fan Bingbing had also seen *Dream of the Red Chamber* on TV, but she didn't watch it deeply. She didn't know anything about what was to be expressed inside. She only knew that Qingwen was Jia Baoyu's personal maid.

"Hehe, look, I said you have no culture. I let you read more books, otherwise, you wouldn't even understand when others speak ill of you to your face!"

Seeing Qiongyao sneered, and then said to He Xiuqiong: "Tell her the criticism of Qingwen."

Looking at Seeing Qiongyao, who was already truly angry, He Xiuqiong could only sigh at the bad luck of the girl in front of her. She was courting death herself. She cooperated and said to Fan Bingbing:

"Heart higher than the sky, body lowly!"

Seeing Qiongyao mocked Fan Bingbing:

"Do you know what it means? No matter how high your heart is, you are a maid for a lifetime!

In my eyes, you will always be a maid!"

As everyone knows, Seeing Qiongyao was a mistress in her early years and had a rampant mistress career for 15 years. Therefore, during this period when Seeing Qiongyao's creative desire was at its peak, she must have advocated love above all, and mistresses turning over to be masters.

However, Seeing Qiongyao today has long been in the upper position and has been a legitimate wife for 20 years. The butt determines the head, and the position and attitude naturally change. Now she is desperately guarding against mistresses, which led to her subconscious disgust after seeing Fan Bingbing's appearance today. At first, she just wanted to educate her a few words, but she didn't expect this girl to not know the height of the sky and the earth and dare to talk back!

Seeing Qiongyao is no longer the down-and-out wild girl at 20, but a well-known writer and film and television boss for decades, a guest of various film and television companies and TV stations. Who is not polite to her?

As a result, a yellow-haired girl was presumptuous in front of her, making Seeing Qiongyao, who was already in a bad mood, directly angry and sarcastically mocked her.

"A maid for a lifetime...

Always a maid..."

These words were like a basin of cold water, directly pouring Fan Bingbing through and through, and the whole person felt like falling into an ice cellar. Then a strong sense of humiliation surged into her heart, constantly impacting her self-esteem and pride.

Fan Bingbing has always been a proud and strong person. Seeing Qiongyao's complete negation of her future undoubtedly trampled her dreams and pride to the ground. It was as if she had been hit hard by a big hammer. This was undoubtedly a major blow to a little girl who had always had a star dream!

Humiliation, despair, unwillingness, anger, all kinds of emotions were constantly fermenting in her chest in an instant, like a rapidly expanding balloon, about to explode.

Fan Bingbing clenched her hands into fists, her nails deeply embedded in the flesh without noticing. Her originally very beautiful face first turned pale, then slowly swelled red. Her teeth were tightly clenched, her chest heaved, and various complex emotions blended in her wide-open eyes, eventually turning into two lines of clear tears flowing out.

"Mom, calm down, don't get angry for a little girl, it's not good for your health!"

He Xiuqiong hurriedly brought a cup of tea, and then she turned her head and scolded:

"Bingbing, you child, how do you talk to adults? Why don't you apologize quickly?"

To tell the truth, she really wanted to ease the atmosphere. No matter what, she was their own artist. Fan Bingbing played Jin Suo, and she had potential even if her fame was not big or small. At least she could help the company make money.

"I will definitely be popular in the future, more popular than them!"

Fan Bingbing finally looked at Seeing Qiongyao, who was sitting there but looked like an Empress Dowager, and used all her strength to say this sentence, then turned around and ran out.

"You!" He Xiuqiong was dumbfounded, opening her mouth and looking at Fan Bingbing's back, only feeling that this girl was really crazy!

Her kind words of giving a step down just now were all in vain!

You still want to be popular? You have provoked the old lady to this extent, and you still expect the company to give you resources? Do you think the company is opened by your own family? No matter how you toss, your parents will forgive you in the end? The company blocks you, what do you use to be popular?!

Bang!

Seeing Qiongyao placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table and snorted coldly:

"Humph, she really has backbone, I underestimated her!

Don't worry about her in the future, I want to see how far she can go?"

"Mom, calm down, this wild girl can't distinguish good from bad. She won't have a place to find regret medicine in the future, and she will come back to beg you sooner or later!" He Xiuqiong hurriedly came to persuade again. At this time, she had completely given up on Fan Bingbing, just fulfilling the duty of a good daughter-in-law.

Wu Yuchen looked at another good script he picked out and smiled. Although there are few film projects in China now, there are still some good domestic low-budget films. It doesn't necessarily make much money, but it's enough to practice acting for the women around him.

Wu Yuchen thought for a while. Ang Lee's Yu Jiaolong is still choosing between Li Xiaoran and Zhang Ziyi. Zeng Li and Jiang Qinqin have been eliminated by him, so this project can be given to them. As for who to give it to...

Just when Wu Yuchen was thinking about who to give this film he just picked out to, his mobile phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Jiang Qinqin. After he finished the call, he frowned and walked out of the room quickly with the car keys.

In a private room, Jiang Qinqin handed over a tissue and held Fan Bingbing's hand: "Bingbing, don't be too sad, I don't understand this matter too much, wait for your brother-in-law to come and let him give you some advice."

Fan Bingbing wiped her tears with a tissue, and her eyes were already red: "Thank you, Sister Qinqin, I didn't expect that it would cost so much to terminate the contract with the company. Where can I get 1 million..."

Jiang Qinqin sighed when she heard this. She suddenly received a call from Fan Bingbing saying that she wanted to meet her and had something to consult her. As a result, she heard that Fan Bingbing and Seeing Qiongyao had fallen out and had to pay 1 million to terminate the contract.

When she was in the *My Fair Princess* crew, Fan Bingbing, this little girl, played her maid and always followed her lead. Therefore, Jiang Qinqin thought about it and simply called Wu Yuchen to give some ideas. After all, she didn't understand these company contracts too much.

A moment later, the door of the private room was pushed open. When Fan Bingbing saw Wu Yuchen, she wanted to stand up and greet him.

Wu Yuchen waved his hand, signaling her not to be polite: "Tell me the detailed inside story again."

Listening to Fan Bingbing's narration, Wu Yuchen also roughly knew what was going on. It was Fan Bingbing who fell out with Seeing Qiongyao because of the uneven distribution of resources. In his past life, this matter seemed to have happened, but he didn't remember the time too clearly.

Wu Yuchen looked at Fan Bingbing's appearance of crying like rain while talking, and also felt a sense of pity. There was no way, Bingbing is really beautiful! When she filmed *My Fair Princess 1* two years ago, she was still young and relatively immature. Now she has grown a bit more at the age of 17 or 18, and has slowly shown the appearance of a great beauty.

Leaving aside other aspects, Bingbing's appearance is basically one of the ceilings of Chinese entertainment.

After Wu Yuchen finished listening to Fan Bingbing's narration, he thought for a while and asked: "Bingbing, what year and month is your birthday?"

"September 16, 1981." Fan Bingbing answered honestly.

"Then if you calculate it this way, you joined the crew to film *My Fair Princess* in 1997. You shouldn't have been 16 years old when you signed the contract with Seeing Qiongyao's company, right? This contract you signed may not necessarily be valid."

Fan Bingbing shed tears again when she heard this, full of sadness: "But, after *My Fair Princess 1* was broadcast last year, I signed a new contract with the company again. At that time, the company said they would support me! Woo woo woo..."

Sigh, it's really another girl who was painted a cake!

The situation now is that if Fan Bingbing doesn't terminate the contract, she will be frozen in Seeing Qiongyao's company, and it will be 8 years. Then she can basically say goodbye to the entertainment circle and go home to go to school again.

If she terminates the contract, she will have to go to court with the other party, and then see how the court judges. The liquidated damages must definitely be paid, it's just a question of how much to pay.

Wu Yuchen thought for a while and asked: "Bingbing, do you still want to continue to develop in the entertainment circle?"

Fan Bingbing thought of what she had said to Seeing Qiongyao before and nodded firmly: "Yes!"

Apologize to the old book friends, this paragraph is indeed the plot of the old book. Originally, I was writing about preparing for the next film plot, but no matter how I wrote it, it felt wrong. *Don't Fool Around* just finished winning the award and immediately connected to the next film. If I don't add some events, everyone will easily fall into fatigue. I thought for a long time and couldn't find any other events to write, so I moved the content I wrote in the previous book over as a transitional plot between films. ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
