Chapter 88 The Assistant Director is Even More Nervous Than We Are
Sure enough, when Ning Baicha found the Yimeng crew backstage, everyone was discussing the live broadcast.
The most excited one was Chen Ying.
Her eyes sparkled as she happily jumped in front of Ning Baicha, grabbed her hands, and said with a smile, "Did you hear that? We have added a live broadcast element to the Golden Elephant Awards competition this time, which means that it can truly achieve fairness and justice."
Ning Baicha was still a little confused and hadn't reacted yet.
If they were really broadcast live at the same time, Shen Shijing would definitely not give Ning Baixuan preferential treatment in front of the camera.
Otherwise, wouldn't this bring bad luck to Ning Baixuan?
Could this be what Shen Shijing meant?
Ning Baicha was a little unsure again. What was his purpose in doing this?
Chen Ying was very excited at first, but when she saw Ning Baicha didn't respond, she paused for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Ning Baicha carefully: "Sister Baicha...is this...your credit?"
Her expression was quite complicated.
Maybe he's imagining something again.
Ning Baicha came back to his senses and looked at Chen Ying. It seemed as if he had just remembered something at this moment. He said with a bit of a smile: "I only found out about the live broadcast today. Before today, I didn't know anything about it."
"You... don't know?" Chen Ying bit her lip lightly. She dragged Ning Baicha out and walked all the way to the locker room. She looked outside and made sure that no one was around. Then she lowered her voice and asked, "Sister Baicha, you really don't know about the live broadcast?"
Ning Baicha was still thinking about the matter. When he heard Chen Ying ask this, he looked up at her and said, "I really don't know what's going on."
Chen Ying's expression changed several times. She suddenly approached Ning Baicha and lowered her voice to a very low level: "If you don't know anything, then who else could have asked you to add the live broadcast element besides Mr. Shen?"
"I don't know." Ning Baicha told the truth.
Chen Ying pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "But... Mr. Shen is an investor. Apart from him, there is no one else."
Ning Baicha knew what Chen Ying wanted to say, but she didn't think Shen Shijing would make such a rule just for her.
If it was really for her, it must be because there was something about her that he could exploit.
Ning Baicha just looked at Chen Ying quietly.
Chen Ying looked at her carefully: "Sister Baicha, in fact, apart from the matter between Mr. Shen and Ning Baixuan, he is also a good sponsor. If he is really moved and intends to be devoted to you from now on..."
Ning Baicha looked at her quietly: "Do you think it's possible?"
"Others may not be able to do it, but if it's you..." Chen Ying paused, "I think maybe you are the exception."
Ning Baicha laughed, obviously not agreeing with Chen Ying's idea.
Chen Ying immediately became a little anxious: "Don't you believe me?"
"I just think...it's hard to change one's nature." Ning Baicha opened her mouth and wanted to explain something, but when she met Chen Ying's young eyes, she suddenly closed her mouth again.
Why shatter the fantasy of a young girl with admiration?
Life is so long, with so much love, hate, and emotions, the good and evil, beauty and ugliness of human nature, let her experience it.
Many things can only be believed after experiencing them personally.
Chen Ying blinked and looked at Ning Baicha, saying, "But Sister Baicha, everyone changes. They can get better or worse. If you believe that it is difficult to change a person's nature, then isn't that the same as passing judgment on others from the beginning?"
She looked really serious.
"I stole things when I was a kid. If you're right, then I can't change my nature, right?"
She had a filter here with Ning Baicha. Ning Baicha smiled helplessly and said, "That's not how you should understand it. You just make a mistake once in a while. You are not a thief by nature."
"Then how can you be sure that Mr. Shen didn't just make one mistake?" Chen Ying asked in a low voice.
After she finished speaking, Ning Baicha suddenly fell silent.
Chen Ying’s question is actually not difficult to answer, but Ning Baicha also knows that people live in this world with many frustrations.
Forced by the environment, humanities, etc.
It may even lead to various problems due to incorrect upbringing since childhood.
Some people are wired to avoid emotions.
I can never believe in love.
And some people... may not be born to understand emotions, and mistake gratitude for love.
Ning Baicha closed her eyes and retorted in a hoarse voice: "Aying, I know what you want to say... but in fact... many things are not as simple as you think."
Chen Ying's voice gradually lowered: "Well, I just think... Mr. Shen is actually quite good to you, and he is not as mean as he says on the surface."
Ning Baicha smiled bitterly and did not respond to Chen Ying's words. Instead, he pushed her out.
"The show is about to start, let's go."
Chen Ying obviously wanted to persuade her again, but she looked into Ning Baicha's eyes and finally said nothing.
Not long after the two left, a figure came out from behind, looked fixedly in the direction where the two disappeared, with a hint of malice in his eyes.
Yi Meng was ranked fifth to play.
There are a total of fifteen drama troupes participating in this drama competition.
The forms of expression are different and the themes are also different.
Since they were already going on stage, the assistant director didn't let them continue rehearsing, so a group of people hid in the backstage and secretly peeked out to see what was happening outside.
The first dance drama to be performed was named "Shang", which tells the story of a hidden tribe looking for a way out in today's era.
It is a particularly niche story, but the plot is wonderful and the actors’ acting is particularly thoughtful, which is very touching to watch.
The people in the Yimeng crew became nervous unconsciously.
“They performed really well!”
"Yes, but I heard that they have participated in many Golden Elephant Awards, but never won an award. I feel that their story is better this year."
Ning Baicha was listening in the background.
Even Chen Ying and Chang Mengyu were extremely nervous. They began to feel anxious and doubt themselves.
Chen Ying frowned and said, "I feel like they performed really well. What should we do? I feel like we're going to lose."
"That shouldn't be the case." Chang Mengyu also swallowed nervously, "That shouldn't be the case, right?"
The assistant director felt a little amused when he heard their remarks which were intended to boost others' morale but undermine his own prestige, so he sent everyone back.
"Go back to the locker room, walk around, don't look here anymore. The more you look, the more nervous you'll get."
A group of people were driven back like chicks.
Xue Zixuan turned his head to look at the assistant director and said with a smile: "The assistant director is more nervous than us."
