Chapter 323 Growth
Feng Baobao has been very busy recently.
Honor Entertainment strongly promoted Feng Baobao, allowing him to skip the journey of being a supporting actor and start out as a movie star.
Although Feng Baobao's aura of being the heroine is not unfounded, as a veteran leader in the entertainment industry, Mr. Mi also has his own way of promoting people. He did not blindly give Feng Baobao resources, but chose a role that fits Feng Baobao's appearance and temperament very well - the eldest daughter of a down-and-out family, a pitiful little white flower.
It is easy for Feng Baobao to play such a role, and it is not easy to mess up. The movie is starred by the popular actor Di Jinying (yes, the actor who filmed the parent-child variety show with Feng Baobao, one of the few people who has not yet been ruined in the big earthquake in the entertainment industry). Feng Baobao is the second female lead, and a group of veteran actors play supporting roles for them. I will join the crew in a few days.
Feng Baobao was offered a chance to rise to the top, so she had to live up to it. She had studied the script carefully for a month, and had done a lot of research and preparation, trying not to embarrass Glory Entertainment and Fu Dongshu. After all the preparations, there was only one thing that made her feel troubled.
Now that she has gone to film, who will take care of Feng Xiaobao?
Although Feng Xiaobao is precocious and clever, he is also a child. It is definitely not possible for him to live alone. And Feng Baobao is busy on the set every day, so it is impossible for her to bring her son with her.
Leave it to the nanny? Feng Baobao is worried.
Leave it to Honor Entertainment? How can you let a company take care of your child?
Hand him over to her mother's family? ... Feng Baobao might as well strangle Feng Xiaobao to death right now, to prevent him from suffering in the Feng family.
After thinking about it, only Fu Dongshu was more reliable. Feng Xiaobao also seemed to like Fu Dongshu. But Fu Dongshu was elusive, so Feng Xiaobao hesitated again.
After hesitating for two days, Fu Dongshu finally appeared in front of Feng Baobao. He looked a little thinner, but in good spirits. Feng Baobao quickly poured a large cup of tea for Fu Dongshu and brought up a plate of pastries and snacks.
Feng Baobao himself couldn't eat these things, and Feng Xiaobao didn't like them either. Only Fu Dongshu liked to eat these small snacks. During the time he lived with Feng Baobao, he would hold a duck neck and chew it in front of Feng Baobao every day, which left a deep impression on Feng Baobao (he hated it so much that he gnashed his teeth).
Although Fu Dongshu no longer lived with Feng Baobao and his mother, Feng Baobao still kept the habit of buying snacks for Fu Dongshu and subconsciously stocked up a bunch of them in the freezer.
Fu Dongshu looked starving, and without hesitation, he grabbed a bag of nuts and threw them into his mouth: "Baby, you are becoming more and more elegant."
It was rare for Fu Dongshu's dog mouth to utter a human word. Feng Baobao was flattered and immediately suspected that the snacks he had offered as tribute had worked.
"Xiaoshu, long time no see. You are becoming more and more..." Feng Baobao made up a story for a long time and praised, "more and more capable."
Fu Dongshu swallowed up the tribute from Feng Baobao, and then cast his eyes on the script on the table. The paper script was full of scribblings, comments and thoughts. There were also some photos and printed materials scattered around.
It can be seen that Feng Baobao really cares about his first female lead.
"The Storm." Zhao Ruoming read out the title of the script. What a common name.
Feng Baobao nodded awkwardly. "Well, it's a suspense story. My character is a young lady from a fallen family, and she and the male lead solve cases together to clear her own grievances."
Fu Dongshu raised her beautiful eyebrows: "Sounds like the heroine of the fringe?"
"Yes." Feng Baobao admitted openly, "The focus of the play is on the male lead. Mr. Mi said that since this is my first time filming a movie, my acting skills will definitely not be as good as those of professional actors. So I need to play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses, and just be beautiful."
It is difficult for female artists to survive in the film industry, and no one understands this better than the veteran Mi.
Feng Baobao added: "Boss Mi also said that such a character setting will definitely not attract any die-hard fans, but it will definitely attract a group of fans who like her looks. The most important thing is to take responsibility for the box office - the second female lead can write the box office into her own achievements."
Others would never dream of making money from the box office without doing anything like this. But Feng Baobao didn't seem very happy.
Fu Dongshu opened another bag of dried fruit and asked casually, "Mr. Mi said something else, right?"
Feng Baobao bit her lip. She had nothing to hide when dealing with Dongshu.
"Boss Mi also told me that my biggest disadvantage is my status as an amateur, and I need to get rid of this hat as soon as possible. I have filmed variety shows with Di Jinying before, so it's not too surprising for us to work together again. With Di Jinying's fame and reputation, even if he casts a pig as the heroine, the box office will take off steadily, not to mention me. In this way, I can take advantage of the situation to rise."
This was a blunt and cruel statement, and it was somewhat hurtful to a woman who thought highly of herself. Although Feng Baobao knew that Mr. Mi was only analyzing the situation realistically from the perspective of maximizing benefits and was not targeting her intentionally, she could not help but feel secretly frustrated.
Fu Dongshu sighed, "Boss Mi still speaks so harshly. Next time, you should fight back and ask him why he can't do it if pigs can do it? The CEO of Glory Entertainment played the female lead for love and made 50 billion at the box office, but the money didn't go to outsiders."
Feng Baobao burst out laughing: "Your mouth is a hundred times more poisonous than Mr. Mi's - drink some of this fruit tea, this dried fruit has been pickled with honey, it's a bit choking."
Fu Dongshu took a big sip of fruit tea from Feng Baobao's hand: "Yeah. Do you have anything else bothering you?"
"Ah." Feng Baobao stammered, "Actually, you came at the right time today. I do have a problem that I'm struggling with..."
Feng Baobao told Fu Dongshu that he couldn't take care of Feng Xiaobao due to filming.
"Xiaobao is too smart and too precocious. He doesn't like strangers taking care of him. And I'm not sure if I can hire a nanny." Feng Baobao frowned. "I can't trouble the company, can I?"
Fu Dongshu suddenly seemed to be in the mood to joke: "Why don't you send Xiaobao back to the Feng family to be taken care of? After all, he is Mr. Feng's grandson. Even if his bones are broken, his tendons are still connected."
Feng Baobao glared at Fu Dongshu in a reproachful manner: "Please forgive me! If I didn't know that you like to joke, I would be angry with you. You know those people in the Feng family, they seem to be out of touch with the times. If I leave my little treasure to them, he will become a little fool."
It was raining red, and Baby Feng actually started talking about the Feng family's faults!
Fu Dongshu chewed some dried fruit while mumbling, "What about Huangfu Jin? He is Xiaobao's father after all. Do you want to discuss this with him?"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Baobao fell silent.
After a long while, Feng Baobao finally said, "Xiao Shu, I know I shouldn't tell you these words...but if I don't tell you, I don't know who to tell."
Fu Dongshu put down the dried fruit and pretended to listen attentively: "Well, go ahead, I'm listening."
"I always feel that he doesn't love me that much..."
Zhao Ruoming paused.
Here it comes, the familiar thumping feeling comes! Next comes the passionate trifecta of he loves me, he doesn’t love me, and who does he love!
It doesn’t matter! Jiang Huiyi had endured it all, it was just a Feng Baobao, why couldn’t she capture him easily?
Just when Zhao Ruoming was ready to welcome Jiang Huiyi's second generation, Feng Baobao continued: "Or rather, his love is useless."
Zhao Ruoming: “.”
This, this, this?
She won't feel sleepy anymore!
Zhao Ruoming pricked up his ears: "Tell me in detail."
Feng Baobao hesitated and said, "When I first knew that the father of the child was him, Xiaoshu, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I was actually secretly happy in my heart. The Huangfu family is richer and more powerful than the Feng family, and their family background is noble. I can continue to be my noble lady and trample the Feng family under my feet. And..."
Zhao Ruoming: "And what?"
"You know, my good friend Jiang Huiyi married Duan Hongji." Feng Baobao hesitated for a moment, but still spoke frankly, "Duan Hongji is the richest man in Haicheng, and he is also one of the richest people in the country. Jiang Huiyi and I have known each other since childhood, and our family backgrounds are similar. But she married the richest man, and I can only wander around with my child without any status. You don't know, I feel..."
Feng Baobao closed his eyes, his face slightly reddened: "The status of the Huangfu family and the Duan family is similar. What I thought at the time was that I could finally stand up straight in front of Huiyi."
"If that's the case, why do you suddenly find that Huangfu Jin's love is useless?" Zhao Ruoming scratched his head curiously.
"The actress Hou Ying who participated in the variety show with me," Feng Baobao hesitated for a moment, "Do you still remember her?"
Zhao Ruoming actually didn't remember it, but he nodded immediately anyway. Anyway, 203 remembered it.
Feng Baobao said: "She is a well-known careerist in the industry, and can take on four dramas a year. I was chatting with Hou Ying once - you know, I don't think much before I speak. I wanted to get close to Hou Ying, so I praised her and said, 'I really envy you for having such energy and being able to balance your career and family.'"
Feng Baobao showed a look of reminiscence: "I thought this was a compliment, but after Hou Ying heard this, she showed a mocking expression.
"She asked me, 'Why don't you say this to Di Jinying or Yuan Dongyun? Why to me?'
"I was speechless at the time, thinking that Hou Ying was looking for trouble with me." Feng Baobao smiled bitterly, "It was not until Xiaobao looked up Hou Ying's information online that I learned that Hou Ying's husband was a househusband who was responsible for taking care of the children and the elderly at home. Hou Ying made all the money, and her husband didn't dare to speak too loudly to her at home.
"Hou Ying doesn't need to balance career and family, because there are people who help her balance it every morning and evening. She is very proud of her achievements and usually hates people asking her this kind of question."
Zhao Ruoming blinked his eyes: "So you are envious?"
"It's impossible not to be envious, right?" Feng Baobao smiled. "In the Feng family, only my father has the same status as Hou Ying. Before I had Xiaobao, I had never been my own master."
Feng Baobao said, lowering his head: "Huangfu Jin is the president of Huangfu Corporation, of course he can't be like Hou Ying's husband. But he spoke sweet words to me at that time, and he was gentle and gentlemanly, and I was really moved."
The corner of Zhao Ruoming's mouth twitched slightly. Wait——
Feng Baobao has continued: "But he seems to be mentally unstable. Not only is he very suspicious, but his hygiene habits are also very bad. He doesn't look like a nobleman at all! That's fine. But he is too much! He even wants to kill the mother and keep the child! Secretary Lu told me personally that he has been asking about the procedures and steps for single men to adopt children!"
Zhao Ruoming was not surprised by this, because the old man Huangfu Jin did the same in the original book.
Feng Baobao frowned and said, "If Xiaobao can live a good life, this matter is not impossible to turn around. But I heard from Secretary Lu that the Huangfu family is even more powerful than the Feng family - even more powerful -"
Zhao Ruoming's gossiping heart was burning: "What else do you want?"
Feng Baobao exhaled: "Secretary Lu told me clearly that because the Huangfu family cannot accept a woman who is pregnant before marriage, and even more so cannot accept actors from the entertainment industry, Huangfu Jin plans to let me be his underground lover first and take Xiaobao to raise him. When Xiaobao and his parents get along well, he will give me a legitimate status."
Zhao Ruoming: “Wow!”
Can I say that? This Huangfu Jin is much more human than the original. In the original, Huangfu Jin kissed Secretary Lu wildly for three minutes in front of Feng Baobao, and then warned Feng Baobao to recognize his identity!
Feng Baobao said angrily: "Even if I can't be a family head like Hou Ying, I can't be an unknown lover, right? I escaped from the Feng family, but ended up in a place that looks down on me even more than the Feng family. Didn't I escape in vain?! Huangfu Jin said he loves me, but this little love is only enough to make me a kept underground woman - not as good as Secretary Lu! Secretary Lu also has five social insurances and one housing fund!"
Fu Dongshu is usually harsh and cruel to Feng Baobao, but he can negotiate with Mr. Mi, Di Wanshu, Duan Hongji and others for her to gain resources for Feng Baobao; Huangfu Jin said that he loves Feng Baobao, but he can only let Feng Baobao be a canary.
Feng Baobao became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He grabbed Fu Dongshu's fructose-stained hand and said, "It's impossible to let Xiaobao live with the Huangfu family. Xiaobao is my child. Huangfu Jin only contributed a drop of essence and blood. Don't even think about taking Xiaobao away from me!"
Fu Dongshu looked at Feng Baobao quietly without saying anything.
Feng Baobao realized that he had crossed the line and quickly pulled his hand back. He then pulled out a few wet wipes and wiped his own hands first, then wiped Fu Dongshu's.
Feng Baobao lowered his head and said, "Am I being pretentious? Am I being hypocritical?"
"Oh?" Fu Dongshu was very interested. "What do you mean?"
Feng Baobao said: "With Mr. Mi's status, he could have just handed me over to some agent. But he personally guided me and paved the way for me. I was actually upset because of his little flaw in speaking.
"Huangfu Jin spent money to make Xiaobao and me famous, even though it was only on Tomato Video, but it paved the way for us. I am still dating him. I have neither rejected him nor agreed to give Xiaobao to him, and I am still using the resources he gave me."
Feng Baobao raised her head and looked at Fu Dongshu. She would never tell these words to anyone else in her life. Only when facing Fu Dongshu did she have a strange intuition - the man in front of her would not care about her shame.
"I want both the resources and Mr. Mi's respect, I want Huangfu's help but I don't want to lose Xiaobao. I am really greedy."
Feng Baobao spoke out the darkness deep in his heart: "What's more terrifying is that although I am ashamed of it, I don't intend to change."
Fu Dongshu squinted his eyes and looked at Feng Baobao for a while, then suddenly smiled: "On the contrary, I feel that you are much more mature and honest than before."
When they first met, Feng Baobao would backstab Fu Dongshu when he stood up for her, and would regard the "dignity" and "respectability" of the Feng family as the top priority. She was as speechless as those old zombies from the aristocratic families in Haicheng. Oh, by the way, she was also keen on being the wife of a powerful man.
However, times have changed. Feng Baobao now knows how to store snacks for Fu Dongshu, complains that the Feng family is all old-fashioned, and honestly expresses his dissatisfaction with the Huangfu family.
More importantly, Feng Baobao's object of envy is no longer Jiang Huiyi, the unprecedented phoenix, but career-oriented strong women like Secretary Lu and Hou Ying. Although no one stipulates that women must take strong women as role models, Zhao Ruoming's suggestion is that even if you don't emulate strong women, you can't be too Jiang Huiyi.
Looking at Feng Baobao now, Fu Dongshu could hardly remember what she looked like originally.
