Chapter 14
After Qin Wei finished talking about the promotional event, an older lady was the first to buy five ears of corn. She then asked Qin Wei, "Young lady, didn't you act in the TV series Legend of Ancient Sword? I've watched that show."
The older lady who came over to buy vegetables asked her.
Qin Wei smiled and answered, "Yes auntie, I was the lead actress in that show. Thank you for your attention."
The older lady was also direct, "Your acting in that show was the worst. Have you run out of roles to take, so you started this business?"
Hater:
[Shrimp hearted pig! Old lady what are you saying with your blunt truths?]
[Sis has a strong sense of self-esteem. She may not have acted well, but you can't say she didn't act well.]
[You guess, will sis get angry enough to curse?]
[Damn.]
[Damn +10086]
Qin Wei nodded, "Auntie, all this corn is freshly picked by me. Why don't you buy some more, I'll give you a discount. Do you want some?"
The older lady was stunned. Why isn't she getting angry?
If she's not angry, will the bald guy still pay me?
The older lady was at a loss for what to do, so she turned to look at Director A standing not far away.
Director A immediately turned his back.
Although there is a lot of online violence, even keyboard warriors wouldn't ask such inflammatory questions in real life. Qin Wei had a good attitude answering them. Each time before she answered, the program team were nervous wrecks.
"Really afraid Qin Wei can't handle it and quits recording."
Director wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Teacher Qin, you're not angry?"
Li Hanming saw everything, and he also thought Qin Wei would get angry. He didn't expect her mood to be unaffected at all.
Such a strong mentality, as expected of a former top star, amazing!
Qin Wei tidied her bangs, unloading goods while saying,
"I feel they're not wrong. Go to the front and watch the stall, I can handle unloading here."
"Physical work should be left to me..."
Before Li Hanming could finish, Qin Wei stopped him with a look. He didn't understand why, but also turned off his mic.
Qin Wei glanced at the camera crew in front of the stall, they were fiddling with the equipment, likely because they suddenly couldn't record any sound. Seizing this opening, she quickly said to him,
"Although we're recording the show together, don't chat or laugh with me when we're alone. Focus on your own things, don't be in the same frame as me."
Only now did Qin Wei dare to say what she really thought. After all, the director wanted to stir up trouble, and they couldn't record sound now.
Li Hanming was confused, but the boy was smart, and quickly understood what she meant. The confused look became somewhat sad.
"Teachers please wait, there may be an issue with the mics." A staff member came over and fiddled with their mic packs. Soon he gave an OK sign.
Li Hanming looked at her, then silently went to the front to tend the stall.
Qin Wei busied herself between the stall and truck, occasionally looking over to see how Li Hanming was doing with sales.
Although the boy was a new actor, like her he was a trainee. What's different is he only trained for half a year. Because of his good looks he accumulated some popularity, and the company sent him to act in some TV shows as a supporting role. The response was pretty good.
In short, he was at a point in his career that was on the rise. Qin Wei was also very optimistic about his potential.
As for herself?
Qin Wei didn't need to intentionally find out after coming here, she understood some of the original owner's glorious deeds already. Hyping up relationships and sensational headlines were flying everywhere. Although half was the studio's fault, the original didn't reject the hype. In her opinion that was also wrong.
Wanting to prevent this from happening, she had to nip it in the bud. Moreover the other party was underage, although he would become an adult soon, he was still younger than her. In her heart Qin Wei just wanted to quickly finish recording the show to get paid and retire from the industry, and live in seclusion and obscurity.
The people who came later were mainly there to see celebrities and join in the excitement. So there were more people looking for Qin Wei to take pictures and sign autographs. After a busy few hours, all the corn was actually sold out.
Sitting in the car, Qin Wei immediately started counting money. Mobile payments plus cash was around 800 yuan.
Qin Wei smiled from ear to ear, and even reached out for the 500 yuan from the director.
The production team reluctantly handed over the 500 yuan.
Hater:
[Qin Wei is simply a money making tool on this show!]
[Look at how she's smiling, money signs in her eyes.]
[This little bit of money still isn't enough for her to buy hot search terms...]
...
Returning when it was already dark, Sun Dan had come back from the hospital, and Chen Mo had stacked up the stove and made dinner.
While eating, Daniel said he used money to buy several chickens to raise in the shed, and also wanted to buy a sheep but they were too expensive.
Lin Qiqi inappropriately asked,
"Forget about the sheep right, didn't we just eat one yesterday?"
Everyone looked at her like she was an idiot.
Qin Wei broke the awkwardness by handing all the money to Daniel.
"Made selling corn today, use it as you need. If not enough think of another way."
Daniel exclaimed awesome!
Hater:
[Qin Wei is so generous, seems like she didn't keep any for herself.]
[Does Lin Qiqi think the sheep was for her to eat?]
[Bros, why are you seriously discussing the plot? We're haters don't forget! Quick, post #QinWeiGetOutOfShowbiz#]
[Upstairs, if she really gets out, what meaning is left for our existence?]
...
After dinner, the production team suggested playing truth or dare. If they all joined, they would reward ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall tomorrow.
Everyone silently swallowed their saliva.
The props team brought over a spinning wheel. They would take turns spinning, and whoever it landed on would accept a penalty. Three spins each, whoever the wheel pointed to would accept the penalty.
Sun Dan went first, and casually it landed on Qin Wei.
Sun Dan asked, "Qin Wei, you're an actress. Why haven't you been filming these past two years?"
The others were stunned. Wow, the production team didn't even dare ask this but Sun Dan just went and asked.
"Huh?"
You're asking the original owner, how would I know?
Qin Wei frowned, looking like she would get angry.
Qin Wei held it in for a while, "Because there were no roles to take."
Hater:
[She's honest at least.]
[Right, no roles to take, otherwise who would come here to play games with you idiots...]
[Why is it suddenly so sad...]
...
The wheel spun to Qin Wei again. It was Su Xiaoxiao's turn. She was a little nervous and asked,
"Sister Qin Wei, do you have anti-fans? What do you think about anti-fans?"
Hater:
[Xiaoxiao goddess mentioned us!]
[Upstairs, who is Xiaoxiao?]
[A celebrity on a music app! She does dance and outfit change videos. Had a viral hit with "Shake Shake Shake". Goddess level beauty, she's really pretty.]
[Speaking fairly, she's not as pretty as sis. Sis as a person, her character may be crap, but her looks are also crap-level good.]
[The breadth and depth of the Chinese language, crap!]
... "Anti-fans?"
Qin Wei thought for a bit. Asked so suddenly, she also didn't know how to answer, and could only say,
"I probably only have anti-fans now right? This group is also quite strange. They seem to hate me, but know me better than I know myself. It's also a type of attention!"
Hater:
[#QinWeiGetOutOfShowbiz#]
[#QinWeiGetOutOfShowbiz# +1]
...
[#QinWeiGetOutOfShowbiz# +10086]
...
"Then every time you're scolded by netizens, how do you... digest that?"
Lin Qiqi followed up with another question.
Qin Wei answered, "No need to digest it! The things they scold me with, I've seen a lot of it. I feel some of the people scolding are quite accurate, and some have unique angles I would never think of."
Hater:
[Bros! What did I say!? This heartless bitch! And you were sympathizing with her! Does she deserve sympathy??]
[Damn, can't sympathize with the enemy one bit. Charge!]
