Chapter 44 Potential Rookie
After all, he was still a director hired by Xingran Entertainment with a high salary, and his work efficiency was very fast. He arranged for a little girl to go with Ruan Sheng to meet Director Xu the next day.
"Are you sure you want to sign the contract with your own studio?" Director Xu asked in surprise after knowing Ruan Sheng's thoughts.
"Yes, I didn't sign a contract with any company when I returned to China. This time I just came into contact with this aspect, and I wanted to open a studio by myself."
"But it's very difficult to open a studio by yourself. You need to manage resources yourself. If you don't have resources in your hands, there will be no scenes to shoot."
Regarding Ruan Sheng, Director Xu is still very optimistic about this newcomer, and hopes that she will develop better in the future, so he reminded her specially.
Knowing that Director Xu was doing it for her own good, but Ruan Sheng already had her own plans, so she nodded firmly.
"I understand what you mean, but the champion of the modeling contest and the second female lead in "Crescent Crescent", didn't I win it all by myself?"
After Ruan Sheng's voice fell, Director Xu stopped talking, which is indeed the case.
I have to say that Ruan Sheng is indeed a rookie with great potential.
Once the contract is signed, there is basically nothing to do, and the rest can be done after the crew starts up.
"Sister Sheng, which direction do you want to develop next, I'll help you see what resources are available."
This is Li Yuanyuan, the agent Fang Hao arranged for her. She is a cute little girl with short hair and a round face.It looks clean and tidy.
"Film and TV." Ruan Sheng thought for a while and said.
Up to now, he has only just won a model contest, so it is not enough to say that he has many resources.
Although Yuanyuan asked this question, Ruan Sheng didn't take it too seriously. Yuanyuan looked like she was only in her early twenties, and such a young girl didn't think she could find any resources.
Just told Yuanyuan about this matter in the morning, Ruan Sheng did not expect to receive a text message from Yuanyuan in the afternoon.
"Sister Sheng, Rong Fu Chocolate's endorsement wants to find you. Shall we take it?"
"Are you sure it's Rongfu chocolate?"
"Sure, isn't it the Qixi Festival coming soon? They have organized a Qixi Festival endorsement event."
It's really Rong Fu's endorsement. The spokespersons of Rong Fu chocolate are often popular stars, and Ruan Sheng was shocked by Yuan Yuan's ability to work.
Fang Hao is in the PR department, and the most important thing is to deal with some PR issues. I didn't expect that there would be a talent from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hidden in it.
Ruan Sheng is just a young newcomer, it is really surprising that Li Yuanyuan can persuade the person in charge of Furong to seek her endorsement.
"Ok, please make an appointment for me."
"Great work, hard work."
After thinking about it, Ruan Sheng added another sentence.
In the past two days, there was nothing else to do except the engagement banquet of playing with snow, so Ruan Sheng simply concentrated on studying the script at home.
Engagement dinner.
Ruan Xue had already called Ruan Sheng.
"Xiao Sheng," remember to come to my sister's engagement banquet today. "
Only when Ruan Sheng came could he see his love, which would make Ruan Sheng overwhelmed with pain.
Ruan Xue felt comfortable just thinking about the soft water.
Ruan Sheng, who had just woken up, frowned, his eyelids hadn't opened yet, and said impatiently, "Isn't your engagement banquet at night, why are you in such a hurry?"
Hearing Ruan Sheng's tone, Ruan Xue wanted to get angry, but she was afraid that Ruan Sheng would not come, so she suppressed her anger abruptly, and said softly: "Sister, isn't it because you are afraid that you will forget? So I called to remind you .”
"Okay, okay, I understand, I will go to the engagement banquet on time, don't worry."
After speaking, Ruan Sheng hung up the phone. It was too late to study the script last night, and she was too sleepy.
Turning over, Ruan Sheng frowned unconsciously without feeling Li Jingchen's embrace.
It's only been a few days, and Ruan Sheng is already used to hugging him to sleep.
Because of Li Jingchen's absence, Ruan Sheng was inexplicably irritable, so he didn't sleep at all, and simply had breakfast.
So I went to play with Mianmian and Tangtang.
The engagement banquet is an evening event, Ruan Sheng is not in a hurry.
Besides, it was Ruan Xue's engagement banquet, Ruan Sheng didn't take it seriously at all, she insisted on waiting at home until the evening before going out.
"Young madam, the young master told me to take you out." Uncle Wu said respectfully from the side.
Unexpectedly, Li Jingchen had arranged for her how to go to Ruan's house early in the morning, and Ruan Sheng's heart felt inexplicably warm.
Sitting in the car and looking at the direction of the vehicle, Ruan Sheng frowned: "This is not the direction to go to Ruan's house."
"The young master said that I will send you to choose clothes for styling first, and then go to Ruan's house."
Since it was arranged by Li Jingchen, Ruan Sheng nodded to show that he understood.
Ruan family.
It was already 06:30 in the evening, and the engagement banquet was about to start in half an hour, yet Ruan Sheng still hadn't arrived.
Ruan Xue began to feel anxious.
When she arranges for the engagement banquet to start, there will be a but video, which will edit the moments of love between him and Brother Yufan.
If Ruan Sheng is not allowed to take a look at this, then the meaning of her calling Ruan Sheng today will be less than half.
In the end, Ruan Xue couldn't help but called Ruan Sheng. As soon as the phone was connected, she said anxiously: "Ruan Sheng, where have you been? The engagement banquet is about to start."
After tossing around here for more than two hours, the styling was finally done, which made Ruan Sheng a little tired. When Ruan Xue called, she spoke very casually.
"I'm walking, let's start as soon as it starts, it's fine if you are here or not, you are engaged to Su Yufan, not me."
Ruan Sheng's perfunctory attitude almost made Ruan Xue unable to hold back, but she couldn't lose face in public, so she took a deep breath and softened her voice: "Didn't my sister want to receive your blessing? Then Come quickly, we are waiting for you."
"Okay, okay, I'll be there soon." Ruan Sheng said something perfunctory, and hung up the phone.
Ruan Sheng's styling just now really took too much energy. She still has more than ten minutes to arrive at Ruan's house. She might as well close her eyes and rest for a while, which is worse than listening to Ruan Xue whispering in her ear.
Twenty minutes later, Ruan Xue kept looking at the door, but she still didn't see Ruan Sheng.
"Mom, do you think that little bitch Ruan Sheng is afraid to come?" Ruan Xue asked a little worried.
Liu Lanping patted Ruan Xue's arm reassuringly and said, "No, Ruan Sheng will definitely come."
She is very clear about Ruan Sheng's character, just like her mother Song Qinghe, she has an arrogance in her bones.
Back then, Ruan Kehai had been firmly grasped, and a large part of the reason was because of this.
As soon as the voice fell, there was a commotion at the door, all eyes were on the figure who had just entered the door, and exclamations kept ringing out from the crowd.
"My God! Whose lady is this? How can she be so beautiful?"
"I'm afraid it can't be described as beautiful. This is like a fairy descending from the earth. It should be said that she is even more beautiful than a fairy."
"Look at the aura around her. This is obviously a young lady from a big family."
The growing noise at the door successfully attracted Liu Lanping's mother and daughter's attention.
The two of them stood on the podium in the back, so they could see clearly what was going on in the crowd.
When she saw that it was Ruan Sheng, Ruan Xue didn't dare to recognize it. When did Ruan Sheng become so beautiful.
The sharp fingers had been stuck into her hands because of jealousy, but Ruan Xue still didn't know it, and her face was ashen.
Noticing Ruan Xue's gaffe, Liu Lanping reached out and patted Ruan Xue's back, and said in a low voice: "This is your engagement banquet, you must give me the identity of the host, don't let others see the joke."
A few words from Liu Lanping awakened Ruan Xue, took a deep breath, and adjusted her state.
"Okay, you go to the back to get your makeup done and get ready. The engagement banquet will start soon. What you have to do is support the entire venue." Liu Lanping looked at Ruan Xue and instructed.
With Liu Lanping helping her look at the front, Ruan Xue was relieved a lot. She still knew her mother's ability, so she went to the back to touch up makeup and prepare clothes with peace of mind.
"Xiaoxue, where have you been? The makeup artist is waiting in a hurry."
After searching for a long time before seeing Ruan Xue's figure, Su Yufan's tone was a bit blamed.
As the protagonist of today's engagement banquet, Ruan Xue can still run around, what if the engagement banquet is delayed?
Hearing this, Ruan Xue's face turned cold. Su Yufan had never said anything to her before, and he was not even willing to blame her.Now that Ruan Sheng is back, she has already started to blame her for being ignorant.
"Brother Yufan, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I saw that Xiaosheng hadn't come yet, and I was worried that she was still blaming us."
"I know Brother Yufan was Xiaosheng's boyfriend before, and now that he is going to get engaged to me, Xiaosheng will definitely feel very uncomfortable. It's all my fault, I shouldn't like Brother Yufan."
Ruan Xue softened her voice on purpose, and she was crying a bit when she spoke, looking very pitiful.
Seeing that Ruan Xue was about to cry, Su Yufan began to reflect on his behavior just now. It was really not good. He gently pulled Ruan Xue into his arms, and coaxed softly, "Xiaoxue, don't you cry, I was wrong just now. I don't want to blame you, it's just that today is our engagement banquet, and I don't want any accidents to happen."
"Well, I know Brother Yufan is very kind and gentle to Xiaoxue, and Xiaoxue trusts Brother Yufan."
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Ruan Xue stopped crying.
"Then Xiaoxue goes to the dressing room to touch up her makeup and change her clothes, Brother Yufan waits for Xiaoxue here, okay?
If she didn't say that, she wasn't sure if Su Yufan would go ahead to find Ruan Sheng.
Su Yufan pampered Ruan Xue's head, and said softly, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Almost all the men in the auditorium circled around Ruan Sheng.
There is no way, a fair lady, a gentleman is so good, Ruan Sheng is so beautiful.
"It's fate to meet this lady, I wonder if I can make friends."
"There are many ways to make more friends. They all live in Huashi. If you have nothing to do, you can come and play."
"Let's leave a contact information, what's your name?"
People chatted up Ruan Sheng one after another, and there were quite a few famous nobles among them.
Liu Lanping's complexion is not very good, she doesn't want Ruan Sheng to meet anyone with status, and then relying on her vixen's face to hook up with a man who is richer than Su Yufan, then her precious daughter will be killed by Ruan Sheng Inferior.
Liu Lanping stepped forward and warmly held Ruan Sheng's hand: "Xiao Sheng, the engagement banquet is about to start, why are you here now? It made Xiaoxue so worried about you that she thought you didn't want to come."
Seeing that Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Sheng knew each other, many people began to ask Mrs. Ruan, "Mrs. Ruan, I don't know what is the relationship between this young lady and your daughter?"
Someone actually came to ask her about Ruan Sheng, Liu Lanping tried her best to maintain a smile on her face: "This is my master's other daughter, Ruan Sheng, who is Xiaoxue's younger sister."
As soon as they heard that she was the daughter of the Ruan family, people around began to praise Mrs. Ruan.
"The two daughters of your family are really more beautiful than the other. The eldest daughter, Ruan Xue, is so good-looking, and she has also gained the son of the Su family. This youngest daughter is more beautiful than the eldest daughter. She is really beautiful. Maybe it's a cheap man."
Listening to the first half of the sentence, Liu Lanping still had a smile on her face, but the smile on the second half of the sentence could no longer be seen.
Someone even said in front of her that bitch Ruan Sheng was more beautiful than her precious daughter.
Seeing Liu Lanping deflated, Ruan Sheng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled brightly: "Thank you for your compliments, I think my sister is prettier than me."
After Ruan Sheng's words fell, someone else spoke beside him.
"Miss Ruan Sheng is still very modest. Although Miss Ruan Xue is very good-looking, we can all see that you are the prettier." After finishing speaking, he did not forget to tell Liu Lanping.
"Mrs. Ruan, you are really blessed! The little girl is not only good-looking, but also so humble."
Liu Lanping: "."
Compared with Liu Lanping's face just now, it is a bit uglier now.
"Are you sure you want to sign the contract with your own studio?" Director Xu asked in surprise after knowing Ruan Sheng's thoughts.
"Yes, I didn't sign a contract with any company when I returned to China. This time I just came into contact with this aspect, and I wanted to open a studio by myself."
