Chapter 216 Ai Fei's Confession
"Then tell me, what is it that you can't help?"
Ai Fei's eyes drifted away with an indifferent expression.
"How can someone like you, who is always the center of attention and is so proud of yourself, understand the feelings of someone like me?"
"I have had good grades and good looks since I was young, so I can say that I have been admired since I was a child. After I grew up, I skipped a grade and was admitted to the Beijing Drama School with the first place. Although I am young, my major has always been the best in the class. The teachers and classmates in the class all like me. Before I graduated, I got the opportunity to work with top stars like Mu Fei in the big production of Meige..."
"Although it was just a small supporting role, I also tried my best to perform my best. With my excellent professional ability, I was noticed by the Meige team. That's how I got the opportunity to be in "Wanqiu Xing". On the day of the script reading, it was the first time I met you. I was the smallest and I was slow to warm up and didn't talk much. You didn't notice me at all that day, but that side of me, you don't know how much I envied you..."
"At that time, although you already had several hit works in your hands, you were not arrogant at all. You always had a light smile on your face, revealing a sense of relaxation. Although you were not wearing any makeup, you were so beautiful and relaxed, so charming. All the actors present were attracted to you. Shu Yang was like a dog, and Mo Rou did not hide her affection for you. Although Song Jin and Mu Fei did not talk much, their eyes followed you all the time. In such a star-studded giant project, I struggled to get the third female role on the edge of the protagonist group, and you easily became the center of the crew..."
Qin Xi tried hard to recall the scene described by Ai Fei. Her impression was full of the embarrassment of dealing with excessive enthusiasm as an i person. She didn't really get the sense of superiority of the C position that Ai Fei mentioned at that time. But one thing was true, Ai Fei didn't seem to speak the whole day, so in Qin Xi's memory, Ai Fei didn't really have much presence that day.
"At that time, I was also attracted by your brilliance. Although Mu Fei and I knew each other before, he was a rough boy after all. You were the first one among the leading actors to pay attention to me and take the initiative to talk to me. At that time, I was just a newcomer and knew nothing. You helped me a lot in all aspects. Having you around really made me feel warm and at ease. I had only pure gratitude and envy for you at that time. I was thinking at that time that you are not only popular with the audience, but also your fellow celebrities like you so much. There is a reason for this. At that time, I was looking forward to becoming someone like you one day..."
Qin Xi sighed. Actually, everyone in the crew of "Wanqiu Xing" was a child. Except for Song Jin who was more mature, the others were very immature in both physical and mental age. Qin Xi had no choice but to become a caring sister, always ready to give some advice. After all, she was paid a high salary, and she was a senior with more than ten years of filming experience. It was nothing to take on this responsibility. Who knew that the unintentional planting of willows would bring about a shade? Qin Xi herself did not feel it, but it brought a great shock to Ai Fei, who had just debuted and was sensitive.
However, this impact seems very positive now. How did Ai Fei turn into a villain later?
Ai Fei continued talking.
"Later, I signed a contract with Meige, and President Song gave me to the top agent Sister Meng. You have no idea how excited I was at that time. I was happy not because of Sister Meng's ability, but because she had you under her! I was so excited for a long time just to become your close junior sister. Now thinking about it, it's really ridiculous..."
"With your help, I played Xiao Zhao, and then [Wan Qiu Xing] became a big hit. With the blessing of these two roles, I finally became well-known in the entertainment industry. More and more audiences knew the name Ai Fei, and I finally didn't have to play supporting roles anymore. I had the opportunity to play the leading female role. I even naively thought that I could really realize my ambitions in the entertainment industry. But reality soon dealt me a heavy blow."
"All resources of Meige will be given priority to you, and only the ones you pick out will go to me. Sister Meng took me to meet the producer, and the prefix for introducing me was always 'Qin Xi's junior sister'! Even for my first female lead, Sister Meng agreed to accompany me to the crew, but she left me behind just for a small business deal of yours, and I could only say sensibly that I could do it on my own. I gradually realized that as long as you were there, I would never get top resources in Meige. Sister Meng would only give me a little pitiful energy when you didn't need it. Even so, I endured it. I hoped that as long as I became the female lead of my own movie, my treatment would always be on par with yours one day..."
"What I didn't expect was that even with such great resources, it still couldn't satisfy your ambition. You actually wanted to invest in Meige and leave Meige to set up your own studio. Not only that, even Sister Meng followed you without hesitation. I can only be assigned to other agents like a plaything. Do you know how many people have ridiculed and laughed at me? When you made this decision, did you ever consider my feelings at all?"
At this point, Ai Fei couldn't hold back her tears, and her words were choked with excitement.
Qin Xi couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. "I am indeed sorry for you. At my current position, it is imperative to set up a studio. Sister Meng has been guiding me for many years, and I can't leave her. But now I don't have the ability to guide an artist, so I can only let you down. Sister Meng is reluctant to let you go, and your new agent was carefully selected by Sister Meng. I thought Sister Meng had communicated all this. I also compensated you for several business deals, and personally selected a new script for you, but... you didn't choose it."
"Haha..." Ai Fei couldn't help but lowered her head and laughed, her laughter full of sadness and resentment.
"Sister Meng is reluctant to part with me, but compared to me, she is more reluctant to part with you! If she has to give up one, she will choose me without hesitation! I would rather not have such reluctance!
As for you, you are just giving me cold rice. You just throw what you don't want to me. Do you still expect me to be grateful? I have seen through it. You took care of me before because I didn't pose any threat to you. You just wanted to gain popularity and reputation. Once it comes to your actual interests, you are the most selfish!
If you really wanted to help me, given your relationship with Xu Fang, you could have recommended me as the heroine of [Xiang Yangchun], but for the sake of your reputation, you preferred to recommend Fang Xianyu, who had hurt you, and never said a word to help me..."
Qin Xi: “…”
It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing the kindness of a good person. What kind of fragrant cake is [Xiang Yang Chun]? She decided from the beginning to use [Xiang Yang Chun] to strike Xu Fang and Fang Xianyu in one fell swoop, so how could she push this poisonous cake to Ai Fei? At that time, Ai Fei took the second female role of [Xiang Yang Chun] without her knowing, and Qin Xi persuaded her to give up for a long time. In Ai Fei's eyes, these were all because she didn't want her to be well.
As for the scripts she recommended to Ai Fei, they were all selected by her through her past life memories to suit Ai Fei best, at least they were all popular to begin with. It was just that what she did was not something that could be told to outsiders, and Ai Fei simply did not believe her.
"From that moment on, I knew that you would never sincerely help me. You have become a shareholder of Meige. As long as I am still in Meige, everything I have will be inferior to you. In the future, I will have to act according to your mood. How can I tolerate this?!"
Ai Fei's eyes changed from resentment to determination and fierceness, and his pure and lovely face actually showed a hint of ferocity.
"I ask myself, I am not inferior to you in terms of appearance and acting skills, but I am not as lucky as you to have a hit drama as soon as you debut. The past few years signed to Meige have been the best years of my youth. If I can't make a name for myself, how can I have a future? If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. For the sake of my future, I can only choose to pull you down from your high position!"
"You can't blame me. You're the only one who's blocking my way. If you were in my shoes, you would make the same decision as me!"
Qin Xi had a hint of sneer on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Who do you think is as despicable as you? Do you have to use such dirty tricks to get what you want?!"
