Chapter 330: There Are Many Delicious Foods to Eat When Making A Movie

Ju Jie really went to find Niu Meiling. At first, Niu Meiling didn’t agree. After listening to Ju Jie’s words, she frowned and said, “Who gave you this idea? Mo Fei is different from before. The company now wants her to establish a positive image. If you make such a fuss, won’t Mo Fei’s image be ruined in the public eye?”


“I thought of it myself, Auntie. Can’t you consider it for your nephew?” Ju Jie very loyally took this matter upon himself, and while pretending to be wronged, he said, “I am your elder cousin’s own son! If you don’t help me, are you going to help an outsider instead?”


Niu Meiling really had a headache when Ju Jie leverage their family relationship. In the past, she could throw him aside and let him play by himself, but now Ju Jie’s father has invested a lot of money in the company, helping her overcome a difficult situation. Not looking at the monk’s face but at the Buddha’s face1, Niu Meiling couldn’t help but take Ju Jie’s request seriously.


“A’jie, think about it. You want me to talk to Mo Fei and ask her to agree to cooperate with you in spreading rumors. Can she agree with that?” Niu Meiling softened her voice and persuaded, “You know what kind of person Mo Fei is, right.”


“She didn’t want to before, but it doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to now.” Ju Jie quickly replied, and Du Lun had already arranged a speech for him. “Before, Sister Mo Fei paid attention to her own image and would rather have poor results than have rumors spread out. But now it’s different.”


“Doesn’t she want results? Doesn’t she want to sell her album to platinum standards? Doesn’t she want to be the queen of songs like six years ago? Collaborating with me on this rumor now could also improve her reputation and increase sales, right?”


Ju Jie waved his hand and said, “Besides, I don’t intend to have a real relationship with her. Let’s just let this rumor go on for one or two weeks and achieve our goal, and we’ll immediately clarify that it is not true. Just like last time, didn’t Sister Mo Fei eventually agree? Auntie, in matters like these, there’s always a second time. Cough cough, if you don’t believe me, you can ask her and see. She might agree!”


Niu Meiling remained silent and frowned as she weighed the gains and losses of this matter.


“Auntie, isn’t it just hype? Isn’t this a trick you’ve mastered? I remember you made Zhenzhen famous this way. So many people in the company are hoping for the same treatment as Zhenzhen! Why should she be the only one acting aloof2? The company has put so much effort to cultivate her. Is it so difficult for her to contribute some trivial news resources for the company?”


Ju Jie, seizing the opportunity while the iron is hot, blurted out some provocative words that Du Lun had taught him: “I’ve heard that artists under those big record companies outside are all obedient. Why does our company have someone acting like a big shot? If she doesn’t listen, why is the company still providing her with so many resources?”


It has to be said that Du Lun really caught Niu Meiling’s itch. Niu Meiling, who has such a strong desire for control, has always harbored resentment towards Mo Fei’s disobedience. It’s just that she hid it very deeply.


“Hyping should be done at the right time and in the right way”. You want to use Mo Fei’s reputation to hype, but have you ever thought that Mo Fei’s original image was very good? If you go about it this way, it might backfire and make many of Mo Fei’s dislike you?” Niu Meiling took a deep breath and spoke to Ju Jie from a different angle, “If you spread rumors with Zhenzhen, there are many ways to manage it.”


“I don’t want Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen’s popularity is too bad. How can she compare with Sister Mo Fei?” Ju Jie rejected it, “Moreover, Zhenzhen hasn’t released an album yet, so there’s no benefit for me to create hype with her. Instead, she would be riding on my popularity. I won’t do such a losing deal.”


Because he wanted to avoid Mo Fei’s limelight, Zhenzhen’s album was postponed until March.


“It’s not a big deal to ask. Auntie, if she disagrees, we can think of something else!” Ju Jie took Niu Meiling’s hand again and started acting spoiled: “Don’t you want your nephew to get the top spot too? Then you can also enjoy the glory!”


With that said, Niu Meiling was also persuaded by him. Whether her nephew could make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, whether it was a good reputation or a strange reputation, whether it was based on talent or by this strange catchy song, it would still bring honor to her, Niu Meiling.


Niu Meiling sighed and pressed Ju Jie down. She said, “Okay, I will try to ask for you, but I’m telling you, you should be mentally prepared. I estimate this will be difficult to achieve. Mo Fei’s character…”


“No, how can it just be a try? Auntie, you have to fight for me too, help persuade Mo Fei, and tell her the pros and cons. Anyway, this is also good for her!” Ju Jie said with a smile.


Being entangled by him, Niu Meiling rubbed her temples with a headache and said: “Alright, alright, I promise you!”


……


After the three-day New Year’s Day holiday, Xixi was sent back to kindergarten by her father to attend classes. She could finally see her little friends again!


After holding it for three days, the little girl had too many interesting things to share with her friends.


However, the only one who did not play in Jiangcheng, Lan Xin, stole the limelight: “I went to see the snow with my dad. It was so far away that we had to take a plane to get there. Then my mom and I made a snowman, and my mom used a carrot for its nose.”


“A snowman? It snowed, Xin’er, weren’t you cold?” Yang Luoqi blinked her eyes and asked Lan Xin nervously while holding her hand.


“Cold, super cold! A hundred times colder than at home!” Lan Xin thought for a while and said: “But I wore a lot of clothes, so I wasn’t afraid of the cold!”


Nan Zhaoyu made an effort to join in and, after much thought, recited a line of poetry, saying, “Auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year…”


However, he forgot the next sentence, only vaguely remembering that his father had recited it for him. Naturally, the children were not interested in his poems. Fortunately, Xixi took over the conversation and did not let him become the center of an awkward silence.


Xixi said with some excitement, “Snowman! I have seen it, I have seen it, my Papa drew it for me. Sister Elsa’s good friend, Olaf, is a snowman, and he can talk and walk. He’s really amazing! Xin’er, can your snowman talk?”


Lan Xin shook her head somewhat disappointedly and said unhappily, “No, it can’t talk or walk.”


“It’s okay. If I see Sister Elsa in the future, I’ll ask her to make your snowman talk!” Xixi hugged her little friend and comforted her.


Lan Xin immediately cheered up and said, “Really? Thank you, Xixi!”


“Hehe!” Xixi smiled happily.


“Then, Xin’er will you let your snowman play with me in the future? But I’m afraid of the cold, oh, what should I do?” Yang Luoqi found herself in a bit of a dilemma.


After talking about the snow story for a while, it was finally Xixi’s turn to share her holiday experience.


“I went to see Uncle Guo filming with my Papa!” Xixi tried hard to describe the scene of filming. “There was a big camera that is heavier than me, and many people were filming together. But there was a big sister who was super fierce, and if you didn’t act well, she would shout ‘cut’ and scold you…”


“So scary? Then I don’t want to make a movie.” Yang Luoqi said softly with some fear.


“No, no! It’s actually fun, just like when we performed ‘The Ugly Duckling’. Teacher Mu teaches us, and then we film it,” Xixi said with enthusiasm.


“Performing ‘The Ugly Duckling’ was not fun. There was no food. Xixi, is there any food when making a movie?” Lan Xin asked curiously.


Xixi tilted her little head and thought for a moment, but she remembered every time she went with her father, they would bring a lot of food and a group of uncles and aunts would be eating. So, the little girl nodded and said with certainty, “Yes, there were many, many foods to eat when making a movie! We can’t even finish eating it all!”


“Really?” Lan Xin’s face showed joy. “Then I also want to make a movie.”


“I’m going too, I’m going too!” Chen Shiyun originally had nothing much to say, but when it came to food, she also became energetic and hurriedly spoke out for fear of being left out. “I can eat a lot, I’ll definitely help finish all the food!”
