Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy
Chapter 9 The Movie Emperor's Pet Baby
Qi Jing is very free.
They're so bored they're practically growing mold.
The documents assigned by his father have already been processed. Now, his daily work consists of playing with the baby, putting the baby to sleep, and spending time with the baby...
Her entire life revolved around Yu Liu.
The reason for this was the previous scandal. Within just two days of the scandal breaking, many companies that had signed contracts with Qi Jing reneged and hired other celebrities. Everyone thought Qi Jing was in dire straits, but he unexpectedly pulled off a stunning comeback. Not only did he suffer no losses, but his value skyrocketed. Already a top star in the entertainment industry, this scandal meant that to bring him back for endorsements would require two or three times his original price, leaving everyone with no choice but to give up.
As a result, Qi Jing has no work at all, and the directors of the scripts he had previously accepted have all replaced the actors with other actors. Suddenly, he has nothing to do.
Sha Tianbao is already looking for new scripts and gigs for him, but until the schedule is arranged, he has all the time to himself.
"These are some of the ones I've selected. Pick a few from them." Sha Tianbao brought over a thick stack of scripts. "Oh, by the way, here are also invitations to more than a dozen variety shows. They all want to take advantage of this time to gain some popularity. Some of them are long-running variety shows. Participating in them can help you connect with the local community. So I brought them over. Take a look at them later."
Sha Tianbao is not a strong-willed person. He respects the ideas of his artists. He personally selected many of the movies and TV series that Qi Jing starred in. Sha Tianbao's role was basically to collect information about the scripts and make sure that the scripts did not involve any fundamental issues, such as plagiarism.
"Since you suggest taking it, then let's take it." The filming period for variety shows isn't long; at most, it'll just waste some time, which is acceptable.
"Then you choose one."
Sha Tianbao took out his small notebook. He was born with a bad memory, so he always carried a small notebook with him. He would write down any questions that he needed to remember in order to avoid forgetting them.
"I've done some basic research. Among variety shows, the most popular one is 'Come Play,' and the show has a good reputation. It mainly features some harmless games, so I would recommend you take this one. If you're unsure, you can watch their show first."
Sha Tianbao gave his instructions with lingering concern.
"Hmm." Qi Jing was already used to his fussy manner at work and calmly flipped through the script.
"Leave the things with me for now, I'll give you an answer this afternoon."
"Okay, let me know once you've confirmed it."
With work to do and not wanting to linger, Sha Tianbao stood up, ready to leave.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Sha Tianbao quickly took out his notebook, flipped through it for a while, and finally found what he wanted to say.
"It's nothing major, but I thought I should still let you know."
Sha Tianbao is a cautious person, so he doesn't miss any information. Sometimes, his cautious nature really comes in handy.
"Here's the thing, there was a minor actress who joined the company at the same time as you, named Qiao Li, do you remember her?"
Qi Jing shook his head blankly, "It's been several years, and we weren't familiar with each other before, how could I remember?"
"Never mind if you don't remember. Anyway, Qiao Li isn't doing so well these days. He was in a car accident a few days ago and was hospitalized. He only woke up a few days ago, right when your scandal broke. Goodness, he was injured and couldn't move easily. When he heard about your scandal, his first reaction was to grab his phone and forward it while mocking you. He did a lot of things to kick you when you were down. He's just a minor celebrity, not many people pay attention to him. But yesterday, a video circulated online. The uploader was a nurse from the hospital where he was staying. In the video, he beat and scolded his assistant and also insulted the nurse who came to help." At this point, Sha Tianbao frowned in disgust. "According to the nurse who posted the video, Qiao Li seems to hate you. Anyway, after hearing about your situation, he has insulted you a lot in private. At first, people didn't know the truth and would join in the insults. But after they found out the truth, they couldn't stand his constant cursing. Sometimes when they went up to say a few words, he would hurl insults at them with foul language. He has no manners at all."
"Let them criticize me, it won't affect me." After so many years as an actor, Qi Jing's only good habit is—a calm and unperturbed mind, letting the winds blow from all directions, I remain carefree!
Actually, this was a helpless move. Besides having many fans, actors also have a considerable number of haters. Those haters can say anything. Qi Jing gradually learned to ignore them, and his mind was forced to become more open, which can be considered a good thing.
“If it really didn’t affect you, I wouldn’t have specifically brought it up with you.”
Sha Tianbao usually couldn't stand seeing his artists put on a nonchalant act, as if they had no desires or ambitions. His tone was somewhat exasperated: "You should pay more attention to your interpersonal relationships. Don't keep offending people!"
Qi Jing rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "I've been very careful about interpersonal relationships. If I had just entered this industry, I would have been devoured by it long ago, leaving not even bones behind."
Sha Tianbao thought about it and agreed. When Qi Jing first entered the industry, he was still a spoiled young master with a serious temper. If someone did something to displease him, he would want to ruin them. But now he's much better.
"Let's not talk about that. What I wanted to tell you is that Qiao Li, I don't know if the car accident opened his eyes or what, but during the few days he was in the hospital, he wrote a novel on his phone. He's only written the beginning, but he already has a bunch of readers following him. Among them is a young lady who likes his novels and personally went to the hospital to ask him for an autograph. That guy's flirting skills are pretty good. The girl is completely smitten with him and then immediately put him on 'Come Play' as a regular guest. It's said that the girl's family is an investor in 'Come Play.' This whole thing is like a fantasy drama. If you really accept the invitation to 'Come Play,' you'd better be careful that he doesn't trip you up on the show. I'm giving you a heads-up now so you don't suffer later."
Sha Tianbao's role as agent was indeed very thorough, taking all possible situations into account.
After giving his instructions, Sha Tianbao left in a hurry.
Yu Liu, who had been hiding in her phone, finally dared to peek out after the door closed.
The phone screen on the table suddenly lit up, and the small bed on the phone's home screen had been replaced by a sofa. Yu Liu was sitting cross-legged on the sofa.
Ever since he carelessly caused Yu Liu to have a high fever last time, Qi Jing has been able to notice Yu Liu's presence immediately. Seeing the baby sitting comfortably on the sofa, Qi Jing reached out and touched the two pointed ears sticking up on her head. Although he couldn't actually touch them, it was still nice to have a glimpse of them.
