Chapter 227: Schoolgirl's Request for Help
[Woman: Is there something wrong with me? I ranked third in my class when I first entered, and it's just that I refused to give you money. Now you're trying to pressure me into graduation. Don't go too far. Aren't you afraid I'll sue you?]
[Man: I didn't say that, and what did I do? But maybe there's something wrong with your file? Think about it.]
Throughout the conversation, the man's voice was as gloomy as a poisonous snake. He never mentioned asking for money, but his implicit threats were asking the students to pay.
When Ji Xia heard this, she understood that it was Liu Chen, her homeroom teacher. She had also heard this conversation when she graduated.
But the original person was not such a rigid person. She had been working and had saved some money.
Although Liu Chen didn't care about his grades, the university professor still had ten thousand ways to delay his graduation. In order to reduce trouble and graduate smoothly, Ji Xia still gave Liu Chen ten thousand yuan.
Liu Chen felt it was too little, but Ji Xia said there really wasn't enough and this was all.
Liu Chen also knew that she didn't have any more money, so he finally gave her a hand and let her graduate on time.
She thought of this and continued to read.
I am an orphan whose parents have both passed away. I studied acting just because of my dream. The tuition was paid by student loans, and the living expenses were collected by working part-time. The four years in college were like living in hell. All my efforts had no results, and now even graduation has become a problem. I am really desperate.
When I was communicating with Liu Chen before, I accidentally learned that you had also rejected Liu Chen's coercion. I want to expose him online. I hope you can help me forward it and spread it with the help of your fan base to create public pressure. This way, the power behind him will not easily suppress this matter.
My voice alone is so small.
I hope you can consider it and we can give the performance a clean cradle together.
After reading it, Ji Xia fell into deep thought. This matter was not as easy as he had imagined.
There is a reason why Liu Chen has been able to make money from students for so many years without being reported.
Those who study acting are all very rich. It is very normal for them to spend money to buy achievements and resources. Where there is demand, the other will supply.
It won't do anybody any good if it's exposed.
Moreover, only a few poor people learn acting, and only a few of them can become famous.
Ji Xia could foresee that after this Weibo post was published, there would probably not be many students who would come forward to accuse him.
Everyone spends money to buy results. When a wrong thing becomes a routine, it becomes right.
Ji Xia was thinking and considering it again. She knew that if she got involved in this kind of thing again, it would definitely be harmful and would not benefit her at all. Moreover, the other party had a lot of room to defend themselves. Some recordings alone could not prove anything, and there might even be people who would come out to suppress the popularity.
But Ji Xia felt that Zhou Di's words touched her heart. She wanted poor families to have fair opportunities when learning acting in the future.
Liu Chen refused to accept the transfer. Ji Xia felt that he still needed more evidence to hammer him to death.
After she thought it through, she signaled Guoguo to transfer Zhou Di's WeChat account to her.
Zhang Guoguo really didn't want Ji Xia to get involved, but she knew Xia Xia was a kind-hearted person, so she had no way to stop this matter. She could only say a few words in a low voice, "The film is about to be completed, and the Mingguang Festival has already invited us. I don't want you to get involved in these trivial matters. Besides, there are several students among Liu Chen who have already made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry. They will definitely not admit it. It's equivalent to breaking up with them. Xia Xia, let's just pretend we don't see it."
There was a hint of request in Zhang Guoguo's voice.
Ji Xia touched Guoguo's hand soothingly, "It's okay, I will pay attention."
She added the other party's WeChat and accepted the request quickly.
[Zhou Di: Is it really Ji Xia?]
[Ji Xia: Well, I want to talk to you about the message you sent me]
[Zhou Di: Do you agree to speak up for me?]
[Ji Xia: You don't have enough evidence right now. I think it's best to say this: It's the final semester of your senior year, and weren't your grades so bad before because of Liu Chen? Give him money, keep records, and show the process of your grades changing. That would be more convincing.]
[Zhou Di: But I really don’t have any money]
[Ji Xia: I'll have my assistant transfer 1 yuan to you. You can say it's from a year's work and you just want to get good grades at the end of the semester and graduate successfully.]
[Zhou Di: Okay, thank you Sister Xia Xia, we will definitely succeed]
Ji Xia sighed. This matter was certainly not that simple, but Zhou Di was still a student and could not do anything. She needed to find more substantial evidence.
"Guoguo, help me contact a private detective,"
"Ok"
Ji Xia sighed and put her phone aside, then she calmed down and continued to read the script. No matter how many things she had on her mind now, she had to put them aside. The most important thing now was to finish filming the movie.
"Xia Xia, we've urged you several times about next week's Mingguang Festival. They will definitely give you an award, and they need our reply immediately," Zhang Guoguo asked, looking at the message on the tablet.
"It didn't say what the award was?" Ji Xia turned his eyes away from the script again.
"No," Zhang Guoguo confirmed again before replying.
"No, I'll take you out to play after we finish filming here and the business of Wilderness Battlefield is over." Ji Xia was too lazy to participate in such a frivolous award. If it was for Best Actress, she might go, but she would probably just give it as Best Newcomer.
Zhang Guoguo nodded in understanding. She also felt that Xia Xia would not go. These days, Xia Xia almost stayed in the crew and never left.
The Mingguang Festival is just around the corner. In order to increase the audience's anticipation, they did not officially announce the participating guests, but only released the titles of the participating dramas. Liuli Pendant and Bending Love are among them, and fans are looking forward to it.
Finally, Ji Xia has come out. I haven't seen her in the past few months. I thought she had retired.
[The goddess of the red carpet, I can see her style again. I used it as wallpaper for the previous two times.]
[Liuliyuan will definitely win the award, there should be no doubt about that]
[This Mingguang Festival isn't a significant award. If they don't give it to Liuli Pendant, they'd be crazy.]
It's the end of the year, and actors are getting ready to start their activities. I can't wait to see everyone's business.
……
Ji Xia was going crazy on the set at this time, just trying to get herself into the right state. She had been going crazy for the past two days for a shot. When Wang Sijia died at the end, she made up her mind to leave here with Gu Zheng and go to a drug rehabilitation center.
Towards a new life.
To show her determination, she threw away all her goods. When Gu Zheng left, he did not forget to lock her up and said he would come to pick her up tomorrow after he took over the block.
Wang Sijia obviously underestimated the power of the drug. She had been taking it continuously for so many years, but she couldn't bear it for just a moment when the drug addiction came. She felt like bugs were crawling all over her body, and her internal organs were dislocated.
In this room, when the sun rose, she couldn't bear it anymore. In order to relieve the pain, she even took a needle and stuck it directly into her neck, but it was no use. Her whole body was itchy.
She touched a knife and stabbed herself in the chest without hesitation.
Wang Sijia was sure that she couldn't quit tonight. When she thought of what Gu Zheng said, tears flowed unconsciously and she left a recording on her mobile phone.
"Gu Zheng, thank you"
"Gu Zheng, I'm sorry"
Gu Zheng ended the siege. After three years of dormancy, he successfully led everyone to wipe out the entire block. He is a drug-fighting hero.
In the chaos, he went against the flow of people, and Gu was about to pull the white out of the mud.
When the door was opened, the girl's blood had already coagulated and her skin was terrifyingly white. She was dead, dying in extreme pain in a small room. She had never left the block in her life, nor had she seen a bigger moon.
Wang Sijia is a very controversial figure. She is kind by nature, but she was born here and was addicted to drugs when she had no ability to distinguish, and she has survived all these years.
If it weren't for Gu Zheng, she would never want to leave here.
But like other people, he died here in his prime from skin ulcers.
This set of shots of Ji Xia was just not shot well. The pain she expressed was a bit superficial. Not to mention the director, even she herself was not satisfied with it.
How to act out the feeling of being eaten by ants and having your internal organs rotten?
On the day of the Mingguang Ceremony, all the popular actors gathered here.
Song Yurou, Zhao Siyu, Li Jin, Li Ziyi, Qin Ziqi, Gu Qingzhou, Huang Wanying...
Zhao Siyu has been on a roll recently. Although she is not as famous as Song Yurou, she is also well-known and is just waiting for a big hit drama to help her become more famous.
On the red carpet, everyone competed for attention, and everyone discussed it heatedly in the barrage.
[Wow, this Li Ziyi seems to be Ji Xia's roommate. Wasn't she filming a web drama before? How did she get here so quickly?]
[I have to say that there are four people in Ji Xia’s dormitory, and three of them have successfully become actors. This dormitory has good feng shui.]
Zhao Siyu is doing well. Is what she's wearing today considered haute couture?
【Forget it】
Huang Wanying feels that her relationship with Shen Xingmo is getting hotter and hotter. Let's just stay together.
[Li Jin is really pretty, I really like the role of the senior sister she played]
[Ji Xia is almost here, the Liuliyuan crew has all come out]
【Oh, oh, looking forward to it】
[Hey, why is it Song Yurou?]
[Yu Rou is so beautiful, and this is what a goddess of beauty is]
[Not bad, not bad. Song Yurou's look is so grand, it feels like she's aiming for an award.]
[Where's Ji Xia? Where's Ji Xia? Where's she?]
[She shouldn't be pushed back any further. Look, the people behind her are all seniors. It wouldn't be appropriate to place her at the end.]
【Did she not come at all?】
"No way! I've been waiting all this time just to see her win the award."
[Ahhh, tonic, Xia Xia, come out here]
……
There were also many people who came to watch the fun. After all, Song Yurou and Ji Xia would be there today, and everyone wanted to see them rolling their eyes.
But now Ji Xia didn’t come at all, so what’s the point? Many passers-by fans have run away.
Song Yurou sat at the front table in a glamorous manner, with her slender neck raised high. She looked down upon everyone present. Today was her main battlefield.
Li Jin was sitting next to Song Yurou, and she got angry when she saw this woman.
"Hey, isn't this a rich girl? These days, rich people are trying to steal our jobs. No wonder there are fewer scripts recently. It turns out that the scripts that have been picked by others have fallen into our hands." Li Jin said to Song Yurou in a sarcastic tone.
Everyone else at the round table was watching the fun.
"You have a bad background, so just consider yourself unlucky. Or you can reincarnate, maybe you can change to a rich father." Song Yurou fought back calmly, her eyes moving close to Li Jin's ear, "Or you can find a godfather and play to your strengths, isn't that good?" She said provocatively.
"Let's see who gets the award today, you who is so powerful that you can't even see a trace of it, or us." Li Jin was not affected by the situation, but changed the subject. Everyone knows how to touch someone's heart.
Sooner or later she will kill Song Yurou.
Song Yurou's throat went dry. She knew her only shortcoming was her poor acting skills and lack of a hit movie. However, when she thought of something, her eyes would definitely be focused. As long as the thing was in her hands in the end, it would be fine. "Then open your eyes wide and look carefully!"
Li Ziyi's eyes were darting around on the opposite side. She had finally figured it out these days. She might not really have any talent in acting, so it would be better for her to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife.
A thought came to her mind and she placed her hand slightly on her now flat stomach.
There was a knowing smile on his lips.
We have to say that the organizers worked very hard to balance capital and public opinion, and actually gave a double yolk to the Best Actress.
"The best actresses of our Mingguang Festival are Song Yurou and Ms. Ji Xia." The host's surprised expression was really not fake. The organizers really knew how to make trouble.
Song Yurou walked onto the stage gracefully, holding the honor that belonged to her. The first words she said were: "I feel that Ji Xia and I are particularly in sync. We have the same rhythm and are currently filming a movie at the same time. Although she didn't take leave to come, I still wish her well from afar."
【Here we go, who is the best actress? 】
[I guess it's Ji Xia. There aren't many hits this year, but she has two.]
[Why? Why is it Song Yurou?]
[??? The production team is really good at making trouble, and even gave away two Best Actress awards]
[No wonder Ji Xia didn't come. Why should I give half of my overwhelming advantage to others?]
[From what I hear Song Yurou say, it seems like she and Ji Xia have a very good relationship]
[Come on, it's just a polite remark, but you took it seriously. These two are like water and fire, and they want to kill each other.]
[What a boring ceremony. I'm leaving now. It's boring.]
[Why does it feel like Song Yurou's words are sarcastic?]
Ji Xia finally finished filming the death scene. The entire crew has been helping out these days. Wang Haitao and David have been thinking about these things the most. The two of them have made the best use of angles and lighting.
"Click" Wang Haitao looked at the picture on the screen with satisfaction. He felt that the scene where Wang Sijia left at the end was simply perfect and shocking.
"Xia Xia, lie there for a while. Stagehands, quickly change the lighting and get the props ready for the next scene." Wang Haitao quickly urged them to complete the set for the next scene.
Ji Xia was still stuck in her previous emotions, with a prop knife stuck in her chest. In order to present the best effect, she lay there motionless. Now it was Shan Siyuan's turn to perform.
