When will I be the queen

Chapter 421 Looks familiar

"Does the Immortal Lord want to train you again?" Mei Zhang became more and more angry as he spoke. He was really angry and upset. "Does the Immortal Lord want you to handle it yourself? But you only focus on acting, and the Immortal Lord knows this very well. He thinks this is a fatherly intention to train you and do good for you, just watching me make a fool of myself. It's really disgusting."

  "." Uh, Cai Cai saw Mei Zhang getting more and more excited, she couldn't get a word in, and even said her catchphrase.

Considering Mei Zhang's feelings towards Xian Jun and their relationship, he was really angry. So, in Mei Zhang's heart, he was definitely much more important than Xian Jun~~~

"."Mei Zhang was speechless. Is this the time for you to be happy about this?

Cai Cai laughed and reached out to pull Mei Zhang over to sit down. "Do you think the Immortal Lord has betrayed us?"

Mei Zhang shook his head subconsciously. The Immortal King would not betray someone, let alone Cai Cai. "I just feel that he must have known that this was a big trap, but he didn't say anything. This is not right. He always takes extra care of you, cares about your career, and worries about everything for you." Mei Zhang stopped talking.

Cai Cai laughed even harder, "He is also a capital after all."

How to say it, "It's actually very simple. The Immortal King didn't mention it this time, probably because he didn't want me to act at all. But he must have known that he couldn't persuade me, so he simply didn't say anything. He has stepped on more pitfalls than I have walked, that's what he said. He can guess what I will encounter, so he can also guess what I will do." I have to say, it's good to have someone who knows me well around me. Cai Cai originally likes to be taken care of comfortably, and she doesn't have the panic and fear of being seen through.

So Cai Cai thought it was great that the Immortal Lord didn’t say anything.

"He's already worried about everything." Cai Cai recalled that this time in China, Xianjun took her to meet those big directors, editors and producers. It was obvious that he hoped that her career in China could be more stable and go further. After all, her popularity in China is still relatively weak. Other artists of the same period, let alone other things, have more works and higher national popularity than her. Because she has neither overwhelming business nor popular variety show clips that sweep the short video circle.

She doesn't have these two things that are the most exposure for an artist. Without TV dramas and movies, she may not exist anymore. Her popularity is based on her works. She has both style and achievements, but her popularity is quite low compared to other artists who have achieved success in all their careers. Moreover, her works don't have such a wide audience, and her face is not as popular as hers.

  She didn't even have a job in China before. If Fang Xiaoning hadn't approached her, her career in China would probably still be at a standstill. After winning the award, the situation got a little better, but not much better.

"The Immortal Lord probably hopes that I will shift my work focus to China in the future. I also think that there are only two projects overseas, one Empire and one Black Line, plus the half-dead Mist. I have basically understood the role of Empire. If the Mist doesn't change much, I will be able to follow it smoothly. After all, I have almost gotten used to these two crews, both the crew and the actors. As for Black Line, special effects shooting is the biggest part, and the running-in between the actors should also be easy. As for the crew, no matter how hard it is, it will not be more troublesome than Jarvis and Fang Xiaoning."

Cai Cai has actually thought about it, "So to be honest, the work here is no longer the focus of my work."

The outside world thinks that overseas projects are her focus, but for Tsai Tsai herself, it is no longer the case.

"As for movies, I want to pick the script first. Anyway, I don't want to take on the type of Tina anymore. I only need to shoot one of these. Otherwise, I will be unworthy of the Golden Mask trophy I got. Therefore, I can indeed shift the focus of my work back to China. I prefer Chinese culture. Many scripts are more creative than those abroad."

This is true. In the last century or the last century before, foreign light and shadow art can be said to be the leader, with all kinds of innovations and representatives. But now, relying on thousands of years of cultural heritage and accumulation, China has made great progress. With the development of science and technology, the countless fantastic and strange contents in ancient texts can be well presented. In addition, after the film and television industry was cleaned up, the creators worked hard, and China has long surpassed foreign countries.

In the past, domestic creators were proud of winning awards abroad, but now, foreign creators are proud of winning awards in China. You know, in the past, China was just seen as a market for making money, and it had nothing to do with honors. Even fans were not recognized by foreign stars. The simplest thing is that in the past, domestic accounts with names such as "Xin-Xin Global Fan Club" could not connect to foreign stars, and even foreign fans ignored them. Now, such account names have disappeared, and at most they are simple names such as "Xin-Xin Fan Group" or "Fan Club".

  The disappearance of those seemingly large accounts is not because fans no longer love them, but because domestic celebrities and artists have become stronger, foreign celebrities have been demystified, and artists around the world have become more popular. If fans are really flattered, then the overall flattery will naturally decrease. Well, of course, but this does not mean that fans will not be crazy.

"The Immortal King knows that I have the ability to read scripts, so he won't say more. Besides, this involves my career plan, so it's not appropriate for him to say more or less. If he doesn't have this sense of propriety, he's not the Immortal King." Cai Cai knew very well that although the Immortal King seemed to be concerned about everything for her, in fact, the Immortal King had never really interfered with any of her choices, let alone made any choices or plans for her. His strength only seemed to be that he understood her and acted one step ahead of her.

Cai Cai held Mei Zhang's hand and said, "I won't worry about it after it's done, but I'm not a fool." She knew very well who was really worried about her.

"I came here for The Mist, but there are problems with the script and it's probably not going to start filming for the time being. I think I should go back to China. It's the end of the year, and I can't miss the Chinese New Year Gala and the Spring Festival promotion of State of the Land." Cai Cai plans to go back to China after discussing the script of The Mist. "Anyway, I'm not filming here, and I won't participate in other activities, so I'll just go back."

  Mei Zhang had a specific arrangement in his hand. "We originally wanted you to attend the fashion festival." It was the world's top fashion festival CG, a charity event held by the City Time Museum in the capital of this place, referred to as CG. This type of festival is not held in China, it is just a pure fashion festival, so CG still maintains its good status as a festival. Each festival will be combined with the theme of the largest exhibition of the year, and the guests will also try their best to show their fashion ability.

After all, this is related to their own business and career, as well as side jobs. Artists here in foreign countries are not very likely to cross over and do multiple jobs. They prefer to have side jobs, and this side job is closely related to fashion. Most of them are cosmetics and clothing. Domestic artists also have these side jobs, and there are a lot of trendy brands, but none of them are as big as those in foreign countries. This shows the importance of CG here.

But Cai Cai only went to walk the red carpet, she didn't go to the backstage. One reason is that she is underage, and the other reason is that Cai Cai never participates in charity projects abroad. Cai Cai received an invitation before, and when Mei Zhang contacted her, he directly said that Cai Cai would not go to the backstage. CG couldn't agree to this, so they didn't invite Cai Cai again. This time they invited her again, also because Cai Cai won the award and saw Cai Cai's commercial value, so they agreed to Cai Cai's request not to go to the backstage.

In other words, Mei Zhang agreed to Cai Cai's request to not give a penny, so he ignored whether there would be any gossip or revelations about this matter. Anyway, Cai Cai will not participate in any charity projects abroad. When the time comes, she can just walk on the red carpet and take beautiful photos. It can also be regarded as an explanation to the several businessmen who have always sponsored Cai Cai.

This was Mei Zhang's plan, but Cai Cai didn't want to participate in any work other than filming abroad now, and it was not necessary for her to go to this kind of fashionable red carpet, so Mei Zhang just checked it off her daily schedule.

Cai Cai glanced at her schedule. The blue ones were selected and supposed to go, the black ones were for important work, the red ones were for filming, the green ones were for rest time, and the yellow ones were for unexpected events. The blue ones were the most, followed by the red ones, densely packed, covering the entire flat screen. Fang Qiao and Zhou Qing's schedules were also set up in this way. The three of them shared one, but each one was different. The company was speechless after seeing the schedule of the three people combined. The Tang family would also share one, and then they would ask Mei Zhang to increase his rest time every time.

"."Anyway, every time Cai Cai looks at her schedule, she always feels like she's living in another time and space, not this 24-hour time and space.

"The most important work here right now is the promotion of the second season of Empire and the script review for the third season of The Mist. As for the rest, we'll see how things go." Mei Zhang checked off a lot of arrangements and reminded Cai Cai, "Jarvis is also holding a costume design seminar for the fourth season of Empire, and he asked you to attend it. All of you leading actors must attend it, and then there will be the wrap-up banquet. Jarvis will announce the new costume design for the fourth season of Empire at the wrap-up banquet. Although it's only part of the series, it will also attract a lot of attention. Holding a seminar in advance is also to be on the safe side when the time comes."

Cai Cai nodded. These were all important tasks. However, she had not seen the new costume designs yet, and neither had Lily and the others. Jarvis did a good job of keeping it secret. "We do need to hold a seminar in advance."

Then the next day, Cai Cai was called by Jarvis to see the new costume design in advance.

"." There's no need to rush. Cai Cai asked Jarvis, "Do you know I'm going back to China?"

Jarvis nodded, "As soon as the news of your rejection of CG came out, I guessed that you were going back home." The fourth season of Empire has not yet set a start time, mainly because the script and other things have not been completed because it needs to connect to the plot of the fifth season. The fog is stuck again, and the black line is still in the preparation stage. It is indeed a waste of time for Cai Cai to stay abroad. Besides, many tasks can be carried out online now, and there is no need for the person to be physically present. Cai Cai's domestic side is also a big battlefield, and she must go back to fight.

"Come on!! Baby, you're the best!!"

"." That's not necessary. Cai Cai was a little bit unable to eat after being made to drink the greasy oil from Jarvis. She turned her head and looked at the pedestrians outside before she could eat again.

Then Leng Biyun, the chief costume and makeup designer of the fourth season of Empire, who was looking forward to meeting the legendary Cai Cai, waited for Cai Cai to meet her while eating a sandwich and drinking soy milk.

  Cai Cai was stunned when she saw Leng Biyun. Uh, she looks familiar.

Mei Zhang and the others were indeed completely stunned.

Leng Biyun, a very Chinese name, is actually a pure-blooded European. He is over 50 years old and was originally a tailor in a small family workshop, famous for his pattern design. At first, he designed patterns for major luxury brand shows, and his gorgeous and unique patterns added the finishing touch to the clothes of major luxury brands. After that, he became a master of his own, ranging from clothing to home decoration, jewelry, tableware, cars, theme design, etc. He is involved in everything. Because of his extraordinary and unique imagination and design sense, he is called a flower that blooms out of the brain by the fashion industry.

But what made him famous was that he was invited by Huaxia to be the chief designer for a famous international business and political conference four years ago. From clothing to decorations to cups, bowls and plates, Leng Biyun was in charge of everything. As a result, this experience made him jump from a small designer with hundreds of thousands of fans to a big designer who is famous all over the world and loved by millions of people.

However, these did not lead Leng Biyun to the classic path of creating his own brand, opening a studio and a factory to make couture or becoming a couturier. He still only has a few assistants, and he only takes on selected work when there is work, and continues to do icing on the cake for other luxury brands when there is no work. His income has definitely increased a lot, but he still does the same thing as before he became famous.

There are designers like him who remain unchanged, but he is the only one who maintains such a working state at his age.

Cai Cai found Leng Biyun familiar because she had seen him at the International Business and Political Conference. In other words, Leng Biyun was invited to be the chief designer of the conference because of the Tang family's recommendation.

At that time, the international conference was originally going to use domestic designers, but some countries could not accept the designs of domestic designers for various reasons and always found faults. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the conference, the organizers had to compromise and find foreign designers, but this designer must use Chinese design concepts, that is, he must have Chinese aesthetics and be familiar with Chinese clothing. After searching for a long time, they still couldn't find a satisfactory one. Finally, the Tang family who attended the conference thought of Leng Biyun and recommended him.

The family clothing workshop where Leng Biyun studied was owned by the Cai family. It was opened by an embroiderer from the Cai family who followed her husband to settle in the local area. Leng Biyun was a child from a poor family in that community. She was able to grow up smoothly and acquire a skill with the care of the embroiderer's grandson. Because they used an embroidery needle method and pattern owned by the Cai family, according to the rules, the apprentices of this family workshop should have the surname Cai. However, the Cai family did not want to continue to accept foreigners as apprentices, so they refused.

There was no other way, so the family workshop came up with an idea to take the name of the embroiderer as the surname and name the apprentices. Of course, it doesn't matter if they don't accept it, it's purely voluntary. After all, the needlework they teach is also made public by the Cai family, but the authorization of the embroidery pattern is not made public, but it doesn't affect anything if it is not used or sold. So they didn't control it too strictly. When it came to naming, due to a misunderstanding, Ling became Leng. Leng Biyun was grateful to the master and voluntarily changed his name, so he got this name.

At that time, he came here specifically to greet the Tang family. He knew clearly the origin of his name and ability, and he also knew that he was not qualified to talk to the Tang family, but he still handed over his business card. Cai Jinhui and the others were taking a break, so they invited him in to meet them and talk a few words. Cai Cai had a photographic memory, and even though he only glanced at Leng Biyun from behind his family, he remembered her.

However, Leng Biyun didn't see Cai Cai at that time, and now, of course, he didn't recognize her. However, as a designer, Leng Biyun also felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw Cai Cai. But because he knew very well that he had never seen Cai Cai, he just thought that Cai Cai's facial features were delicate and beautiful, so she looked familiar.

Jarvis and Mei Zhang naturally didn't know about these things.

Mei Zhang was stunned because he had never expected that Empire would invite Leng Biyun to be a designer. Because Leng Biyun had never accepted an invitation from the crew for such a project. He was considered an all-round designer, but there were many types of work he had never done before. Film and television dramas were one of the most frequently mentioned ones.

Every time Leng Biyun was asked, he just said that he had no idea for the time being. Who would have thought that he would suddenly accept Jarvis' invitation and become the new costume designer of Empire. Then, he would definitely make all the props and scenery.

No wonder Jarvis suddenly became so crazy. Many people speculated that his old house was on fire and that he had something going on with the new designer. Who would have thought that the person he invited was Leng Biyun.

It’s big enough, novel enough, and capable enough.

Anyway, Mei Zhang is much more relieved about the costume and prop designs for the new season of Empire.

Cai Cai too.

"Hello." Leng Biyun skipped the sandwich and soy milk, and excitedly greeted Cai Cai and introduced himself, "I am Leng Biyun, I have heard of you for a long time." He spoke standard Mandarin, the kind of standard broadcasting accent.

  Cai Cai was a little confused. She had met many people who spoke Mandarin abroad, both in Mandarin and dialect, but it was rare to find someone with such standard broadcasting as Leng Biyun. With his obviously Western appearance, she really wondered if she had changed her race.

"Hello, hello." When speaking Mandarin, you can't just use "you" to get ahead of others. You still have to be polite. This person is so old, it would be a bit awkward if Cai Cai called him "you".
