Ch. 6.1 She actually had to play an intimate scene with He Siyu…
The three of them walked together to the door and said goodbye.
Director Chen said, “I hope we can have a happy cooperation.”
“Yes.” Qiao Nai and He Siyu nodded at the same time.
Director Chen said, “Then I won’t send you off. See you later.”
“Okay,” He Siyu looked at Qiao Nai and then said, “Then Qiao Nai and I will leave first.”
Qiao Nai and He Siyu walked to the elevator entrance. They both reached out to press the elevator button. Qiao Nai subconsciously retracted her hand when she saw He Siyu reaching out.
Neither of them spoke while waiting for the elevator. When the elevator was approaching their floor, Qiao Nai turned around and said to He Siyu, “Let’s go separately. It wouldn’t be good if you were caught on the camera. After all, you are too easy to trend. And there is no official announcement of the drama yet, I’m afraid it will lead to some misunderstandings like before.”
This ‘like before’, both of them knew that it was about what happened on their birthday.
He Siyu didn’t expect Qiao Nai to say that, but he agreed, “Okay.”
While talking, the elevator arrived. Qiao Nai and He Siyu looked at each other at the same time, and He Siyu made a “please” gesture in a gentlemanly manner.
Qiao Nai nodded politely and walked into the elevator.
After Qiao Nai left, He Siyu pressed the elevator button again, and after entering the elevator this time, he called his manager, Brother Lei.
“Brother Lei, I picked up “Lost.”” He Siyu held his hand on the elevator railing and looked deeply out of the glass window.
“What?” Brother Lei on the other end of the phone was shocked, “Why did you suddenly decide to make a movie? Didn’t you say you were not interested in acting before?”
“I was not interested before…” He Siyu happened to be looking down from the glass of the elevator when he spoke. Qiao Nai was getting into the nanny car, her steps light and confident. Seeing her, a corner of He Siyu’s mouth inadvertently curled up, “I want to challenge myself now.”
“You went to audition today, what do you think?” Brother Lei asked.
“Well, it was definitely more interesting than expected.” He Siyu tapped his knuckled index finger on the elevator railing.
“But you have never acted before. Are you sure it will help your career, instead of drowning it?” Brother Lei was still unsure and hesitant, “And I remember that the male protagonist’s character isa not particularly likable.”
“When did my decision ever went wrong?” He Siyu’s face was full of confidence, “Don’t worry, I decided to try it only when I was sure that I could do it well.”
Brother Lei certainly knew that with He Siyu’s IQ, he didn’t need an agent to give him advice.
How he plans his future and where he wants to go are all very clear in his mind.
He can even control which day he wants to be on the hot search, which matter he wants to be on the hot search, and who he wants to be on the hot search with.
It feels like the virtual traffic of the entire industry is like a Rubik’s Cube in his hands, and he is a master at playing with Rubik’s Cube. He knows the pattern he best wants, and can even calculate in advance which steps needed to be done beforehand.
Coupled with the support of the capital behind him, this kind of IQ and EQ are definitely a dangerous nuclear weapon in the entertainment industry.
Fortunately, he is his own artist. Having such an opponent would be a terrible nightmare for any agent.
Although Brother Lei has been in this circle for many years and has long understood the ways of this circle, he is not likely to interfere with He Siyu’s decision.
Just like a veteran stock investor who has been in business for decades, he is just a rookie in front of those experienced traders.
Therefore, he implicitly agrees with every decision He Siyu makes, and so all he needs to do is follow up.
Brother Lei asked again on the other end of the phone, “By the way, who is the female lead? Since no matter who she is, she can’t compare to you. Are you the male lead of this drama? You have to be careful not to give others the opportunity to hype it up with you.”
After Brother Lei said this, He Siyu happened to arrive on the first floor. He said firmly, “Don’t worry, our female lead seems to want to keep low profile more than me.”
Listening to him Brother Lei thought,
‘So now it’s your female lead? This guy gets into the role pretty quickly.’
Qiao Nai will go to the company in the afternoon to discuss follow-up work and publicity with the senior management.
In fact, Qiao Nai’s company is not considered top-notch in the industry. It mostly focuses on cultivating singers, dancers, and idols. The sudden rise of a movie queen also helped a lot to increase the company’s popularity.
The company didn’t expect Qiao Nai to become so popular so suddenly, so it was also beneficial for them to provide her with all kinds of resources.
Their treatment of her is just like treating their own daughter.
When Qiao Nai arrived at the company, she went directly into the conference room. When the big boss Xu Zhi saw her, he immediately responded with a smile, “Nainai is here, quickly sit down.” Qiao Nai sat down, without any airs of the first lady in the company, she was even quite polite, “Mr. Xu.”
“I heard that Nainai has just won Director Chen’s new film,” Xu Zhi couldn’t help but rub his hands happily, “This film is going to compete for foreign film awards. By then, our company will have an international movie queen, which will be a great thing. When the time comes, Qiao Nai will be given free rein by various big-name endorsements.”
Qiao Nai was not so arrogant thinking about the future.
For the time being, she is more focused on how to perform well, and commercial value is not what she needs to consider.
Seeing that she was not very interested in these things, Xu Zhi changed his tone, “By the way, there seems to be an annual celebration to attend in the next few days, right?”
Zeng Nan nodded, “Yes, by then all the big names in the circle will participate. Basically, everyone competes on the red carpet to share photos and buy some hot searches.”
“Then our Nainai should be dressed more beautifully than the others. Is there any way to contact the high-end resources of those big brands?”
Zeng Nan looked proud, “The M family has already ordered a high-end dress before, and it will definitely be the most beautiful one.”
“Great, then we will buy some notices and hot searches to increase the popularity.”
Qiao Nai listened to the two of them discussing there, and didn’t interrupt either.
After all, she doesn’t have much say in popularity management. She personally is more Buddhist in this aspect and doesn’t have much desire to win or lose.
As long as you have done your best, you should be able accept any result.

And I am extremely sorry for the absolutely irregular schedule, it’s mainly because my current semester is extremely hectic and I have not been able to take time off for the translations. But, I’ll try me best to release as many and regularly as I can.
