Chapter 18: Xie Ning's past

Chapter Eighteen
Shainin.
The name Zhuang Yan is certainly no stranger.
As soon as he returned to China, he was met with all kinds of science gossip about Xing Ning and Xu Qing by those friends.
What Bai Yueguang stands for a scumbag makes him irritable.
Zhuang Yan almost blocked them all.
He didn't know much about Xie Ning, and mainly annoyed Xu Qing, and by the way, he moved his anger on Xie Ning.
Zhuang Yan was pestered by Xu Qing for two years when he was in college. He scolded him face to face and was beaten by someone, but it was useless. Xu Qing still pestered him like a dog skin plaster.
Zhuang Yan felt that this person really had nothing but a pair of skins.
That pair of bladder is not the type that Zhuang Yan likes.
Xie Ning has been able to date people like Xu Qing for four years...Zhuang Yan's impression of him is not very good either.
I haven't been able to see Xu Qing's idiot in four years. What is wrong with Xie Ning's eyes?
But he is also recommended by Yang Rui. It is not good to draw conclusions without contact.
Zhuang Yan thought for a while, and decided to ask Qi Rui.
Qi Rui was surprised that Zhuang Yan's sudden change of sex, he used to avoid it.
Qi Rui: "Did you not say that you were not interested in Xie Ning last time?"
Zhuang Yan squinted at him: "Suddenly I became interested again."
Qi Rui: "Cheng, what do you want to ask, the love and hatred between him and Xu Qing? I promise to know everything without saying anything."
Zhuang Yan asked: "Do you know what Xie Ning does?"
"???"
Qi Rui was confused: "No, why are you asking about this, do you want to introduce him to work?"
Zhuang Yan: "What do you care about me? Just say it."
Qi Rui touched his chin: "I really don't know this. Actually, I don't know much about Xie Ning. He doesn't seem to be sociable, and he doesn't have much contact with businessmen like us."
Zhuang Yan frowned and asked, "Then what does he study in university, do you always know this?"
"I know that." Qi Rui said, "He is a celebrity from the Fine Arts Department, and a celebrity in the Art Branch. Oh yes, he, you, me, and Xu Qing are all in the same university, x big."
The Department of Fine Arts, that is not the same name, it is very likely that the same person recommended by Yang Rui.
However, it seems that Mr. Rabbit is also a major in the art department of the x-large.
I don't know how Shainin's level compares with Mr. Rabbit.
"Have you seen his paintings? How is the level?"
Qi Rui is inexplicable: "I don't know him, so where can I go to see his paintings, but I heard that he often wins awards in painting competitions, so the level should be good."
Zhuang Yan responded, lost in thought.
Qi Rui was curious: "What? Are you looking for him to paint?"
Zhuang Yan has nothing to hide and tells the story.
"You said, Yang Rui recommends Xie Ning as the main beauty of your new movie?" Qi Rui was more concerned than he was after hearing this.
Zhuang Yan nodded: "Yes, so I want to ask you first."
Qi Rui looked at him solemnly: "I think in this matter, you can't just look at Xie Ning's painting level, it's just the surface, and you have to see deeper things."
Zhuang Yan didn't understand what he was going to say: "What's deeper?"
Qi Rui pulled him down enthusiastically: "Xu Qing has been looking for someone to inquire about Xie Ning recently, do you know?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head: "I don't know."
Qi Rui went on gossip: "I heard that he wanted to find Xie Ning to get back together, but Xie Ning seemed to avoid him, and it seemed that he had no idea of ​​getting back together."
Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Is he finally recognizing Xu Qing's true face?"
"Who knows?" Qi Rui spread his hands, "By the way, I remember Xu Qing also came to you?"
Zhuang Yan nodded: "I didn't see him."
Xu Qing came to work with Zhuang Yan under the name of Qingfeng Media, and wanted to get a share of his new movie.
But Zhuang Yan had no idea of ​​cooperating with him at all.
Xu Qing didn't have much real talents, and even Zhuang Yan discounted Qingfeng Media's evaluation.
Compared with established film and television companies like Wenxin, Qingfeng Media can provide far less resources and contacts.
Most of the artists under Qingfeng Media are talented talents and they are full of gimmicks. There are many traffic stars, but there are not many powerful actors. They are not the same style as Zhuang Yan's movies.
Qi Rui sighed: "What are you thinking about Xu Qing? While trying to get back together with Xie Ning, he starts pestering you again. He still thinks he can get the best of both worlds?"
Zhuang Yan sneered: "No matter what he is thinking, just ignore it."
Qi Rui supported his chin: "I'll give you a stroke of the relationship between you, Xie Ning, and Xu Qing. They are breaking up now, right?"
Zhuang Yan: "This is what you told me."
Qi Rui said: "In the four years he and Xie Ning were dating, he did not sleep with little celebrities. There was one person in the bed every day, and they didn't have the same kind of stuff, and they never concealed it. Everyone in the circle knows."
Zhuang Yan frowned. Although he was in the entertainment industry, he didn't look down on Xu Qing's behavior at all.
"At the beginning, we all said in private that Xie Ning was afraid that Xu Qing was in love, and even the green hat on his head could bear it." Qi Rui sighed.
This is a green hat on his head, it is simply a prairie on his head, and he can run with horses there.
Zhuang Yan didn't think Xu Qing was the wild horse, and that would be too much of him.
Qi Rui's words sounded very reasonable, and Zhuang Yan felt that something was wrong: "You just said, Xie Ning didn't plan to get back with Xu Qing? Isn't he in love now?"
Qi Rui shook his head mysteriously: "You don't understand this. Think about how they broke up, because you—Xu Qing’s Bai Yueguang returned to China, and he used Xie Ning as your stand-in. No one can tolerate it! Xie Ning can tolerate Zhuang Yan's physical derailment, but he certainly doesn't want to be a stand-in for himself, so he refuses to reconcile."
Zhuang Yan sneered.
"You are now a thorn in Xie Ning's heart. Think about it if he really becomes the main beauty of your new movie, you will not see your head down every day. Embarrassment is second. He is probably not happy."
Zhuang Yan: "Why did I become a thorn? I haven't even seen his face."
"Emotional matters, where do you need to meet? If there is a lingering white moonlight in the heart of the person you like, can you accept it?"
Zhuang Yan really thought about it.
If there is someone in Mr. Rabbit's heart who has been fond of it for years and still remembers...
Zhuang Yan's face was expressionless, his teeth grinded.
No, just assuming, Zhuang Yan has an urge to beat someone.
But he then thought, isn't it just a white moonlight, he is so charming, he can definitely erase the impression of white moonlight in Mr. Rabbit's heart little by little.
Qi Rui went on to analyze: "Even if he doesn't mind, don't forget Xu Qing. He used to go to Xie Ning while pestering you. When you and Xie Ning are in the same crew, he can relax and come here. Just catch it all at once."
Zhuang Yan said: "My crew always forbids idlers to disturb, he can't get in."
The old Qi Rui was here: "That's not necessarily true. What if he uses Xie Ning's name? You can guarantee that Xie Ning will not see him cruelly?"
Zhuang Yan really couldn't guarantee.
"To make the worst assumption, if Xu Qing gets involved in the crew..."
Zhuang Yan turned black when he heard: "He dare!"
Qi Rui shrugged: "I'll just make an assumption."
But thinking back to the enthusiasm that had plagued Zhuang Yan at Xuqing University, it is quite possible that this hypothesis will come true.
Qi Rui said leisurely: "Actually, I am looking forward to the scene where the three of you meet."
Zhuang Yan kicked him expressionlessly: "Speaking of so much, in fact, you just want to find my gossip about the love and hatred between Xie Ning and Xu Qing, right?"
Qi Rui Nene laughed: "It's not that you never listen to my gossip."
"But there is some truth in what you said." Zhuang Yan rubbed his forehead, "I don't want to get involved in their mess."
In fact, Zhuang Yan was not optimistic about Xie Ning, mainly because his boyfriend's vision directly made Zhuang Yan doubt his aesthetics.
Zhuang Yan didn't think he could have any spark of inspiration with him.
What's more, he still has Mr. Rabbit, a choice that surprises him.
It's just that Xie Ning is the person recommended by Mr. Yang after all, so it's too shameless to refuse directly.
Qi Rui was shocked at this: "You still have a face-off day?"
Zhuang Yan continued to glance at him blankly: "Of course it's a parting person, like you, there is no need to give face."
Qi Rui: "...You still engage in differential treatment."
Zhuang Yan chuckled coldly in response.
Since you cannot refuse directly, then tactfully refuse.
Zhuang Yan called Yang Rui back and asked about Xie Ning's situation.
Yang Rui praised without hesitation: "He has a high talent, solid basic skills, and can handle various styles. Among my many students, he is the one I am most satisfied with."
This is from Yang Rui's mouth, which is a very high evaluation.
Zhuang Yan re-evaluated Xie Ning's strength and asked, "Have he done any projects before?" He was good for reference.
Yang Rui shook his head: "He just has shortcomings and experience, and has never been with the group."
Zhuang Yan was taken aback again: "He is a newcomer?"
Here comes the excuse not to refuse.
"Just started." Yang Rui said, "but this is not a big problem. You don't need to tell me a newcomer. As long as you can withstand your training, I dare to recommend him to you."
Zhuang Yan really said this, and he couldn't swallow it back.
But if you really talk about newcomers, Zhuang Yan is still more inclined to Mr. Rabbit. After all, he is someone who has the same mind and will be more pleasant to cooperate with.
He asked again: "Then have you told him about this?"
Yang Rui: "I haven't said yet. Isn't that still waiting for you? If you are willing, I will introduce him to you."
Zhuang Yan smiled, "Why don't you ask him first?"
Yang Rui is a veteran, and when he hears this, he is not very satisfied.
This is not surprising.
Zhuang Yan's selection of people is notoriously chosen. Yang Rui has also listened to students' complaints. It is still a trivial matter to change the drawing at every turn. If he says something wrong, he will be overthrown and redraw, saying that it does not meet his requirements.
It's the kind of person who can definitely get on Party A's Tucao platform. His students even considered submitting articles anonymously.
Yang Rui didn't know about Xie Ning and Zhuang Yan, but Zhuang Yan still looked down on Xie Ning's newcomer.
Zhuang Yan also said: "He has never been with the group before. You may not know how hard it is. You probably know my temperament. Everything is perfect. The script has requirements. It is common to go to the mountains and the countryside. He greeted, made it clear that it was my crew, and listened to what he meant."
Yang Rui didn't expect him to explain, and felt a little relieved: "Okay, I will explain it clearly to him."
Zhuang Yan said so many things, the most important thing is to let Xie Ning know that the project to be painted is his Zhuang Yan movie.
In this way, Xie Ning would probably refuse, so that he didn't have to worry about how to reject Yang Rui.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Rui gave him a thumbs up: "Yes, you can talk more and more."
Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows: "That is, I have been abroad for so many years, no one has seen anyone, and I can't say anything."
Qi Rui asked, "If Xie Ning agreed, what would you do?"
"Then see you first." Zhuang Yan didn't care. "There are so many reasons for rejection at that time, what style is not suitable, and the level does not meet my requirements... Mr. Yang's face is enough, and it is not necessary. Use Shainin."
Qi Rui: "High is still yours."
Zhuang Yan chuckled softly: "Don't be poor, I heard that Wei Lang organized a round a year ago, so I must go?"
When Qi Rui heard this, he cheered up: "It was a tradition to get together a year ago. Wei Lang can't help but show his face. Why would you have to show your face this time? If you drink two sips of wine, you will leave."
"Okay." Zhuang Yan should be very happy this time, "but you have to make it clear to him that I don't go to any messy places, at least it must be Lanzhai's grade."
Qi Rui was helpless: "Knowing that you choose, he decided to place Lanzhai this time. I beg you to show your face."
Director Zhuang Da waved his hand and he was right.
...
At the same time, Yan Xi rarely took a moment to call Xie Ning out for a meal, and talked while eating. Then he talked to Wei Lang.
After hearing what Yan Xi said, Xie Ning was surprised: "You mean, Wei Lang has formed a bureau and invited me to go?" Fupin Chinese
