The miserable White Moonlight awakens and becomes popular in the entertainment circle
Chapter 74: Youth is eternal and romance is unfading
"This store has just opened, right? I haven't seen it before? The decoration is really nice! Have you been here before?" Mu Fei entered the private room and was still looking around.
Song Jin also nodded and said, "Yes, the service is also very unique, a bit like Hong Kong style."
Qin Xi smiled mysteriously and looked at Mu Fei, "Guess who opened this store?"
Mu Fei was puzzled, "You know him? I know him too?"
"It's Feng Xiang!"
Mu Fei sighed, "Feng Xiang? He and I were close friends in the group, and he didn't even tell me that he opened a store?"
Qin Xi explained, "Feng Xiang retired from the entertainment industry not long after I finished filming [Love in the Palace] and returned to inherit his family business. 'Chuan Xiang Shi Ke' is his family's business. He is very capable and now has branches in Hengdian and Beijing."
Mu Fei sighed, "I remember when we were filming [The Legend of the Condor Heroes], he thought carefully about such a small role and kept saying that there are no small roles, only small actors. He loves acting so much, but he actually retired?" Mu Fei couldn't believe it.
"Alas, but people can't just live on passion..." Mo Rou sighed. When she first debuted, she also loved music and had a dream of becoming a singer. Unfortunately, things didn't go as she wished. The record company went bankrupt, and she had to sign with a film and television company. Finally, she made a name for herself in the circle by filming idol dramas.
At this point, everyone thought of themselves and felt a little sad. The six people present were all young, but they played the leading roles. Compared with Feng Xiang, they were already lucky.
But how long can this luck last? After all, being an actor is a chosen profession. Even if a company promotes an actor, if he fails to produce one or two plays, he will be marginalized.
Even if they are as lucky as Mu Fei and Qin Xi, and their first drama becomes a big hit, they cannot keep relying on their past achievements. If the dramas they make fail one after another or have extremely bad reputation, their market rating will plummet, and the vicious cycle will continue, and they will soon be abandoned by the market.
In the final analysis, most actors are insecure, which is what makes them more sensitive, more vulnerable, and easier to empathize with the characters.
Qin Xi noticed that everyone was not in high spirits, so she quickly warmed up the atmosphere. "Do you know why I'm treating you at this restaurant? Not only because I want to help Feng Xiang attract customers, but also because I'm a partner in Sichuan Food Carving. I have a VVIP card, so I don't feel bad about spending money. Let's order food!"
Qin Xi thought to himself that if one or two paparazzi could capture a few people having dinner at "Chuan Xiang Shi Ke" after filming, and then report it, it would be free publicity and would definitely bring in a lot of traffic.
"You actually bought shares? Didn't you just buy a house?" Shu Yang was shocked. When he was addicted to playing games and buying equipment, Qin Xi had already bought a house and invested at the same time. Such financial intelligence and courage made Shu Yang respect him again.
Qin Xi smiled slightly, "Who said that our profession is a job that only lasts for young people? I believe Feng Xiang has the ability, and I also need such a way out. If one day I am no longer in the circle, I also need a stable income to support myself and make myself and my family live well."
"Besides, our profession can be said to be quite high-paying. Although we are always facing career crises, high risks are directly proportional to high incomes. We have the ability and opportunity to invest in side businesses to bring more security to our future retirement life. This is what many working-class people dream of."
Qin Xi spread his hands and concluded, "So I think there is no need for us to worry about the future. As long as we are willing to use our brains, we won't worry about money even if we become completely outdated in the future."
The economic base determines the superstructure. Without the love for bread, it is completely a castle in the air.
Qin Xi's words opened the door to a new world for several young people who had no financial management awareness.
Young people who have just entered the workplace have salaries far exceeding those of ordinary people. They may not be extravagant, but they are definitely lavish. Almost no one at this age has such advanced financial management concepts. But Qin Xi is an exception.
At this moment, everyone present felt that they had underestimated Qin Xi. Not only was she a good actress, she also had a maturity and wisdom far beyond her peers.
Many years later, they would often think of this unforgettable dinner and Qin Xi's words. It not only made them feel relieved and full of motivation, but also helped them avoid many detours.

In order to maintain a good state, everyone finally chose mushroom soup pot and tomato pot. There were only two or three plates of meat among a lot of vegetarian dishes. Fortunately, the ingredients of "Chuanxiang Shike" were very fresh and rich, and the soup base and dipping sauces were very bright.
Everyone was very satisfied with the food during this visit, except Mo Rou, a Sichuanese who loves spicy food. She said it was not enough and she would order a spicy hotpot to satisfy her craving after she leaves the crew.
After eating and drinking, everyone imagined the future and talked about future work plans.
"Xiaoxi, in the blink of an eye, [Wanqiu Xing] is already halfway through. I really can't bear to leave you. Have you signed on for the next play?" Mo Rou said reluctantly.
Qin Xi said frankly, "I have contacted Zhou Zhiruo in [The New Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber] and I am still going through the contract."
Shu Yang and the others were a little surprised when they heard this. (Same thoughts as Sister Meng)
Mu Fei's eyes were full of admiration, "I remember you said before that you wanted to try more different types of roles with more depth, and you really did it."
Song Jin is a professional in costume martial arts dramas on TVB. He became famous for his role as Linghu Chong in "Swordsman" and is quite familiar with Jin Yong's classic works.
Song Jin agreed, "Your temperament is really suitable for Zhou Zhiruo, and your acting skills can support you to explore her in depth. I am looking forward to your performance. I will definitely watch this drama when it is broadcast."
TVB does not attach importance to the ranking. Only the suitable one is the best, and being recognized by the audience is the most important thing, so Song Jin was not surprised by Qin Xi's choice.
Qin Xi turned to ask Mu Fei, "What about you? What are your plans for the future?"
Mu Fei smiled coolly, "I also plan to learn from you. I am tired of staying in the comfort zone of the company's self-made dramas. It's time for me to go out and try my luck."
Compared to his previous life, Mu Fei awakened earlier in this life, but this is probably a good thing for Mu Fei.
"Xiao Rou, what about you?"
Mo Rou sighed, "Since I signed with the film and television company, I have filmed a lot of movies in one go, but I still can't forget my original intention of being a singer. I plan to start preparing to release my first album after finishing filming [Wanqiu Xing]. Regardless of the result, it has finally come true."
Then he turned to Song Jin, "What about you?"
Song Jin was slightly stunned, "I should... go back to TVB and continue filming. It's not up to me to decide what to film. The boss will consider it on his own."
In TVB, actors are like carrots, picked and chosen by producers and placed in suitable positions. Non-stop work has become the norm.
The few months in "Wanqiu Xing" were the most relaxing and comfortable months for Song Jin since her debut. When it comes to returning to TVB, Song Jin seems a little confused. It is said that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After returning, I am afraid I will have to adapt again.
"In fact, the mainland market is huge. Why don't you consider staying in the mainland? If "Wanqiu Xing" does well, you will definitely get very good treatment in the mainland!" Qin Xi couldn't help but make a suggestion. The butterfly has flapped its wings so many times, this time won't make a difference.
Qin Xi looked at Ai Fei, who had been silent and invisible in the group, and asked, "Fei Fei, what about you?"
Ai Fei smiled shyly, "Boss Song found me a few days ago and wanted to sign me to Meige. I was very happy. From now on... I will follow the company's arrangements."
Mu Fei smiled when he heard this, "Then you will be my junior sister from now on. The senior brothers and sisters will protect you!"
Qin Xi also smiled and patted Ai Fei's shoulder, "This is a good thing. In the future, you should learn to be more open-minded and say 'no' to things you don't want to do. You can ask me if you encounter any problems or difficulties."
All good things must come to an end. Several people had a brief reunion at "Wanqiu Xing", but they would soon go their separate ways. At this time, everyone felt reluctant to leave.
Qin Xi stood up and raised his glass. "It is a wonderful fate that we are together at Wanqiuxing. Let us all clink our glasses together and wish that we will remain young and romantic forever!"
"Cheers!" Several smiling boys and girls raised their glasses together, and the scene froze.
Many years later, "Wanqiu Xing" became their eternal youth.
This moment has also become their most precious memory.
