Xu Jie took two glasses of white wine and walked back. The wine at the welcome reception was for celebrities, so the quality would naturally not be bad, especially this white wine, which was clear and transparent, refreshing and rich, with a long aftertaste. It was also rich in various vitamins, could relax muscles and blood circulation, nourish the skin and moisten the lungs, and was suitable for both men and women.
When he walked towards Su Yun, he saw a man standing in front of her through the crowd. The man looked to be in his forties and was saying something to Su Yun with a smile on his face.
Xu Jie had some impression of this person. His name seemed to be Wang Guofu, a director. In the previous opening ceremony, he was also a guest at a certain stage to announce the selected films.
Are you talking about cooperation?
Xu Jie couldn't help but stop.
When he was with Su Yun, no one came to look for Su Yun. As soon as he left Su Yun, someone came to look for Su Yun. It seemed that he was disturbing Su Yun.
Xu Jie took a piece of dessert from the table and ate it while waiting.
It's strange to say, Su Yun's purpose of attending the welcome reception was to meet some directors and get more performance opportunities for herself. However, at this time, Su Yun did not seem happy and had a cold attitude towards Wang Chengfu.
Is she trying to establish herself as a cool goddess?
Just when Xu Jie was feeling curious, he saw Su Yun looking towards him, her eyes signaling for help.
Um?
Xu Jie was slightly startled and immediately walked over.
"Wife!"
Xu Jie handed the white wine in his hand to Su Yun, then looked at the man beside him and asked with a smile: "Who is this? Can you introduce him to me?"
Su Yun took the wine glass, and at the same time, she put her arm around Xu Jie's arm and said calmly, "This is Director Wang Guofu. The first movie I acted in three years ago was directed by Director Wang. He is my guide in the film industry."
After hearing this, Xu Jie immediately extended his hand and said excitedly, "Hello, director. I often hear my Su Yun mention you. I didn't expect to finally meet you in person today."
Wang Guofu's expression froze, and he corrected himself: "My last name is Wang, not Yin."
He didn't extend his hand, nor did he offer to shake hands.
"Oh, sorry, I'm too excited." Xu Jie grabbed the other's hand and held it tightly, "Thank you very much for taking care of Su Yun. Remember my Su Yun when you have big productions in the future."
Wang Guofu curled his lips and sneered, looked at Xu Jie with contempt, then looked at Su Yun and said, "Su Yun, I really feel sad for your vision."
After saying that, he tried to pull his hand back with disgust , but found that he couldn't pull it back no matter what. His hand was held so tightly by the other person, as if it was clamped by a pair of pliers, and his hand turned red.
"Director Wang is right. My wife's taste in choosing movies is really poor. In the future, I will definitely keep a close eye on her in this regard and not let those rubbish directors take advantage of her popularity." Xu Jie said seriously.
Wang Guofu's mouth twitched. Isn't this calling him a rubbish director?
When Su Yun was invited to participate in the movie, it was indeed because of her traffic. After all, this is an era where traffic is king. As long as there is traffic and fans, it doesn’t matter if she is not a professional. The money earned is from fans.
"Su Yun, it's not easy to enter the film industry, and it's even harder to gain a foothold. Think carefully about what I just said. Call me when you have figured it out." Wang Guofu looked at Su Yun and said, with a hint of threat in his voice.
After hearing this, Xu Jie secretly exerted force with his hands.
"Ah!" Wang Guofu cried out in pain.
Xu Jie quickly let go of his hand and asked with concern: "Director Wang, what's wrong with you? Does it hurt? I'm sorry, I was so excited to see a great director like you. I will be gentler next time."
Wang Guofu glared at Xu Jie fiercely, then turned and left.
Xu Jie narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person's back coldly, then turned back to Su Yun and asked, "What's wrong with this person?"
Just now, Su Yun took the initiative to put her arm around his arm. This action can be seen as an act of seeking security. In other words, Su Yun felt unsafe when she was with Director Wang. It was precisely because of this that he wanted to give the other party a taste of pain.
"Nothing." Su Yun said after hearing it and smiled back.
Xu Jie frowned. "What you said is nothing. Why do I feel like I'm cheated? Do you not trust me?"
"No, I don't distrust you, it's just..." Su Yun looked at Xu Jie with complicated eyes, hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want to involve you."
"Nonsense, why didn't you think so when you tricked me into marrying you? Now you want to involve me? It's too late!" Xu Jie said angrily.
"Sorry." Su Yun looked apologetic.
"Don't apologize, hug me!" Xu Jie acted like a domineering president.
"Ah?" Su Yun was stunned.
"If you want to repay me, then tell me the truth and don't make me look like a fool who has been kept in the dark," Xu Jie explained.
Su Yun stared at Xu Jie intently. After a while, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, it's nothing. It's just that Wang Guofu wants to pursue me..."
"How many people want to pursue you?" Xu Jie couldn't help but interrupt the other party when he heard this. Before, there was Wu Hao, and now there is Wang Guofu. They say that pie doesn't fall from the sky, but you can't keep getting cuckolded, right?
"A lot!" Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "Not counting the fans, the men who have tried to pursue me over the years, from corporate executives to company bosses, from music veterans to film and television directors, conservatively estimated, there are at least a few hundred if not thousands."
"Ah?" Xu Jie was stunned. He knew that there were many people who coveted female stars, but he didn't expect there were so many. Others only had a small group of rivals in love, but he had to face a whole battalion.
The ancients were right when they said, an ugly wife is a treasure at home, but you can’t find a beautiful woman. Who the hell can feel at ease with this ?
"Go on."
"Well, Wang Guofu knows that I want to enter the film and television industry. He just happens to have a big production. If I agree, he can give me the role of the second female lead." Su Yun simply repeated what Wang Guofu had just said.
"What do you think?" Xu Jie asked. He knew that Su Yun definitely did not agree, otherwise she would not ask him for help, but who knew if this woman would go back on her word.
"Of course I won't agree. He has a wife at home and a lover outside. Am I sick to be his mistress?" Su Yun's face was full of contempt, and she cursed in a low voice, "Bah, scumbag."
"What?"
Xu Jie was shocked, his face full of anger.
He can't even handle one, but the other party is dreaming of living a happy life with three wives and four concubines. What a fucking scumbag.
"Did he threaten you again?" Xu Jie asked Su Yun. A scumbag like that would definitely use all kinds of despicable and shameless means when facing a woman he couldn't get.
"Yeah." Su Yun nodded gently.
"Next time he says something like this to you, just slap him in the face, do you understand?" Xu Jie said, when a person is strong, there are good people around him, and when a person is weak, there will be many bad people around him.
To put it bluntly, Su Yun can call the shots in the music industry, but in the film and television industry, she is like a widow, with many people watching her, but no one is willing to help her.
Xu Jie looked at Su Yun. He usually felt that she was very powerful, a queen of the music industry, and a goddess in the eyes of her fans. But now he felt that she was very pitiful. Even though she was so powerful, she was still controlled by others.
Should I do something?
Xu Jie asked himself in his heart.
What can I do for her?
…
The welcome reception is not an official event of the film festival. The stars who come to attend are there to give face to the organizers. Once they have come and given face, they can leave.
Most of the stars stayed here for less than an hour and then left. Some were busy with work, and some had plans to meet outside. There were too many people at the cocktail party, and there was also a live broadcast online, so they couldn't enjoy themselves.
Xu Jie and Su Yun also left, not because of work or because they had an appointment with anyone, but simply because they felt there was no need to stay any longer. After all, to the people at the party, they were not only outsiders, but also amateurs, and there was an invisible wall between them.
"You go back to the hotel first, I'll go out for a walk." Xu Jie said to Su Yun who was sitting in the business car.
"Where are you going? I'll accompany you?" Su Yun asked.
Xu Jie shook his head and closed the car door.
