Chapter 209 Am I stupid?
Because Qin Xi, the person being reported, took the initiative to request it, the workload that could have been completed in two weeks was successfully extended to two months.
With just a flick of the wrist, a few rumors were spread, and a thousand waves were stirred up. In this era, it is still very rare for artists to be banned for tax evasion. Qin Xi was immediately labeled as a suspected "bad artist".
Qin Xi, she is Qin Xi. Because she has always left a very good impression on the public, the contrast brought by this sudden scandal is too strong. The public discussion is wider and louder than Meige expected. For a time, not only "Xi Liu" could not accept it, but even passers-by thought it was impossible.
Because of the huge public attention, the staff of the Discipline Inspection Group had never seen such a scene before. Their work phone was flooded with calls during working hours, and after work, relatives and friends called to gossip. Even the staff who were not responsible for the Qin Xi incident were affected.
The superior leaders attached great importance to it and ordered that the investigation conclusion must be drawn within one month to restore the truth without any mistakes. Under pressure from all sides, the Discipline Inspection Group could only send more people, and after taking over, they were all nervous and worked overtime cautiously.
They were not the only ones working overtime. Sister Meng, as Qin Xi's major agent, personally accompanied the investigation throughout the process; Fu Yao, as the studio's only financial officer, was fully responsible for the handover of materials with the disciplinary inspection team; and the Meige Finance Department also dug out all the old accounts about Qin Xi in anticipation of the inspection, and the legal department was also on high alert.
The one who has the most free time among them is Qin Xi. The next month will be the longest vacation she has had since she entered the industry. It's a pity that she can't go anywhere during this long vacation. Sister Meng repeatedly emphasized that if she goes out at this time, she will be besieged by paparazzi. So Qin Xi stayed at home the whole time, and Lili was responsible for her daily supplies.
Lili was afraid that Qin Xi would get sick from being bored, so she wanted to persuade her to go online to relieve her boredom. But then she immediately thought of the overwhelming criticism on the Internet, so she immediately withdrew her request and even tried to confiscate Qin Xi's computer. Qin Xi ruthlessly rejected her request.
Qin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Is your sister Xi such a weak person?"
Lili muttered softly, "I was worried that your depression had only lasted for two days, and this blow would cause it to relapse..."
Qin Xi was speechless.
"Come on, Sister Xi, I've seen all kinds of things. If you really want to cheer me up, then help me find some more professional books..."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
In this entertainment circle where everyone is so popular that the tea is forgotten before the person leaves, given Qin Xi's current situation, everyone in the circle should be trying to avoid her. Qin Xi thought that this month would be a rare leisure time for her.
I never expected that the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny...
Soon, Qin Xi was PTSD when she saw the phone. If what happened this time was true, she really couldn't survive in the circle. She had to pull out the phone card, at least she could have some peace and quiet, but now...
Qin Xi resigned herself to pressing the answer button. Before she could even bring the phone to her ear, she heard a roar.
"Qin Xi, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey or stuck in a door? How could you do such a stupid thing? Or have you been tricked? That's because you are stupid! I always thought you were quite smart, but who knew you were just smart on the outside but stupid on the inside?! I never thought that I would be wrong one day..."
Qin Xi: “…”
With so many calls coming in, some were trying to comfort him cautiously, while others were trying to inquire about the situation indirectly. Only he could scold her so harshly!
After a crazy attack from the opponent, he finally reacted.
"Qin Xi, why aren't you talking? Are you listening?"
Qin Xi then spoke softly.
"I want to talk, Brother Jing, are you giving me a chance? You're like a machine gun, I can't get a word in~"
Tan Jing was surprised and said, "Such a big thing, you are still in the mood to joke? You are really weird!"
"You're weirder than me, okay? It's obviously my business, so why do you seem to be angrier and more excited than me?"
Tan Jing choked, "I...I feel sorry for their misfortune and angry at their lack of resistance!"
"Oh, is it so?"
Tan Jing was furious. "Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? Do you know how serious the tax problem is for actors? Several senior actors who were once household names were put in jail because of tax problems!"
His tone was quite disdainful, and he continued, "Of course, you can't get in with this amount of money..."
Qin Xi: “…”
Are you polite?
"But your career is completely ruined! Those seniors were able to come out and perform again because the system was not perfect at the time, and they had a strong foundation. What about you? You are just famous in name only. You have no background or connections! Even if you are given a chance to make a comeback in a few years, in this fast-paced Internet age, who would still remember who you are, Qin Xi? You would have been beaten to death on the beach by the new little star long ago!"
Although Tan Jing's words were harsh, every word hit the point. At this point, there were not many people who were willing to tell Qin Xi the truth from their hearts.
There is just one sentence that is wrong, Qin Xi said frankly.
"There is no chance of a comeback..."
Tan Jing was stunned, "What?"
"This matter has become so serious that the country will definitely take this opportunity to investigate and crack down on it. This kind of behavior of sucking blood from the country is so despicable! If this kind of behavior can be tolerated, wouldn't it encourage bad practices? Therefore, once this matter is verified, there will be no chance of turning things around in this life!"
At this point, a fierce light flashed in Qin Xi's eyes, and Tan Jing was so angry that the blood rushed up.
"You know all this and you're still asking for trouble! Do you know that you've screwed me over so badly? I've been working on the script for my new movie for a year and the heroine's personality is tailor-made for you! I've finally finished the preliminary preparations and am about to start recruiting investors, but this happened to you! Tell me, where am I going to find a new heroine? If I find another actress by then, and her personality doesn't fit and her acting skills can't keep up, won't I have to make major changes to the script again? That's all money!"
Tan Jing was so angry that he roared, "You have to compensate me for my time! You have to compensate me for my heroine! You have to compensate me for my money!!!"
Qin Xi's eyes almost flew to the sky. She said why Tan Jing was so anxious about what she was anxious about. It turned out that this was the problem!
Qin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "When did this new movie come out? How come I didn't know about it? Brother Jing, I found that after not seeing you for a long time, your ability to talk to yourself has become more and more impressive. You tailored the heroine for me, but you didn't even ask me in advance if I agreed or not?"
"Humph, this is my directorial debut. I don't care about anyone else, but I chose you among all the other girls. Since I recognize and trust you so much, how can you not agree?"
What Tan Jing didn't say was, even if you refuse, I will write the script according to you anyway, and I will use moral blackmail and coaxing and persuasion to get you down!
Qin Xi covered her face, Oh my God, not only was Tan Jing talking to himself, his narcissism was astonishing!
Qin Xi realized it belatedly, "Ah! Brother Jing, you finally figured it out and changed your career to become a director?!"
"Huh? How do you know I've figured it out? I don't think I ever talked to you about changing director?"
"Well... after all, we have been working together for several months, and I have been following your movements since then. These are all my guesses. Otherwise, how should I say it, we appreciate each other, I understand you~"
Qin Xi wiped his sweat and said, "Can I say that I was free in my previous life and watched your interview. Is that what you said yourself?"
Qin Xi was still interested in the new movie proposed by Tan Jing. Tan Jing's career as an actor was not smooth in the later period, but he was very talented as a director, and many of his works were both critically and commercially successful.
Although this life has its own influence and the script may be different, it is after all Tan Jing's debut work that he has painstakingly thought about and carefully prepared for many years, so Qin Xi still has absolute trust in it.
"Brother Jing, what is the subject of your movie? What is it about? How are the heroine and I similar? Tell me about it~"
Tan Jing immediately perked up when he heard this. "Let me tell you, my movie is extraordinary. I am so confident about it! It's about..."
"Hey! What's the point of saying this now? You can't take the photo even if it's the right time. You've ruined all my plans! Look at you! You're so stupid!!!"
Tan Jing was sad and heartbroken.
Qin Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Brother Jing, am I really that stupid in your eyes?"
