Midnight Cinderella: 20.Twentieth Night

www.lnmao.org, the latest chapter of Cinderella will be updated as soon as twelve o'clock!

Feng Jing was stunned for only a moment, and quickly used his superb acting skills to cover up his inner panic: "Why do you have such thoughts?"

Qin Fan smiled and clicked on Feng Jing's Weibo on the computer: "The sofa and table in the two recent Weibo posts you posted are not from your original home."

"...I just changed the furniture."

"The layout doesn't look like your home."

Feng Jing: "..."

"This is just your illusion." Feng Jing refused.

Qin Fan said: "How about we call Michelle in and interrogate him on the spot?"

Feng Jing: "..."

No need.

"Michelle is just a little assistant. If you keep scaring him like this, his heart can't bear it."

"If you know that he can't bear it, you should do less trouble."

"..." Feng Jing remained silent.

"We'll talk about this later." Qin Fan opened the drawer again and took out a novel, "Have you read Xing Xin's "The Secret"?"

Feng Jing didn’t know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but since he took the initiative to change the topic, he asked for it: "No, but I have watched his "The Actor"."

Qin Fan raised his eyebrows: "Because of Mo Zhen?"

"Of course not! My roommate bought it when I was studying, and I took a look at it."

"Oh." Qin Fan didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it. He just handed the novel in his hand to Feng Jing, "Then you can take advantage of this time to rest and read this book again."

"..." Feng Jing was silent for a moment and asked him, "Do I want to write you a review after reading this?"

"I have no objection if you want to write it. Huanyu just bought the movie rights to this book, and I plan to let you take on the leading role in it."

Feng Jing's eyebrows moved slightly: "The male lead?" Although he had not read many Xingxin's books, he had heard that he was very strict in casting, and even Mo Zhen was rejected by him.

Well, although he still chose Mo Zhen in the end.

Qin Fan nodded and said: "This book is a single novel. It is not as famous as the 'Enron Detective Series', but its sales volume is the highest among all Xingxin's single novels, and the story is also very exciting. Have you read it? You should know his style in his novels. He likes to write about the dark side of human nature, but this book was written to his wife, so it is about 'love'. The whole story is very heartwarming."

Feng Jing looked at him with some surprise: "Did you see it?"

Qin Fan raised his eyebrows: "How can I judge whether it is suitable for you without reading it? Although Xingxin's books are all super big IPs, and they are produced by Huanyu, I still like the script. The script of this movie is still It will be written by Xingxin himself, because this book has a different meaning to him, so he pays more attention to it than before."

Feng Jing nodded thoughtfully. He actually doesn't like acting in movies adapted from novels, because many film and television parties rely on big IPs and don't put much thought into making dramas - as long as there is a big IP, plus A popular star seems to have finished the entire show.

However, the stories in Xingxin’s books are guaranteed, and Huanyu has produced many excellent products in recent years. The last time Xingxin and Huanyu collaborated on "The Actor", it was excellent in terms of actors, plot and production.

"I'll get back to you after reading the novel." Feng Jing said.

Qin Fan nodded: "Okay, as soon as possible, there are many people who want this role."

"Got it." Feng Jing picked up the novel and looked at Qin Fan opposite, "Is there anything else?"

"No more for now. In order to avoid affecting your mood of reading the novel, we will talk about your move later."

Feng Jing: "..."

After saying so much, does he still remember this?

On the way back, Feng Jing was still sitting in the back seat. He looked at Michelle who was driving in front and asked quietly: "Mi Xian'er, did you really not tell Qin Fan about my move?"

"Really not!" Michelle couldn't wait to show him her loyalty.

Feng Jing looked at him for a while before saying, "He found out that I moved."

Michelle's hand holding the steering wheel really shook this time: "Ah, ah, Qin, how did Director Qin know? Did he, did he say anything?"

"I haven't said anything yet." He guessed that the reason why Qin Fan was so calm was because he didn't know where he had moved.

"Then, did he say he wanted to fire me?"

Feng Jing leaned over and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Michelle: "..."

Thank you very much for being the instigator.

"If Qin Fan comes to question you in the future, you should be smarter. He probably doesn't know where I have moved."

"...Oh, I got it."

After returning home, Feng Jing spent an afternoon reading the original novel "Secret". This is Xing Xin's only non-mystery novel so far, but the concept is very sophisticated and not inferior to his mystery novels at all. The story is very warm and full of love, and it really doesn't look like it was written by Xing Xin - an important reason why he doesn't read Xing Xin's books very much is that his stories are too dark, and after reading them, you can't help but doubt the world.

But he liked this book very much. Is it true that after falling in love, people view the world full of love?

He turned back to the title page again and looked at the sentence above - I would like to dedicate this book to my favorite editor.

Xing Xin’s editor is his wife. Love can make a writer who is accustomed to writing about the ugliness of human nature become soft.

Feng Jing suddenly thought of Jiang Ran, and his heart suddenly softened.

He picked up his phone and dialed Qin Fan's number.

The phone was connected after a few rings, and Qin Fan's voice reached his ears through the receiver: "It's strange that Film Emperor Feng actually took the initiative to call me."

Feng Jing pursed his lips, not wanting to argue with him: "I've finished reading "The Secret". I like the story very much. I took the role as the male lead."

"Feng Jing is indeed very efficient in his work. I will contact Huanyu. I heard that Xingxin is very satisfied with you. If everything goes well, there should be no need for auditions." Feng Jing has acted in two movies since his debut. He was hired directly by the director, who had never auditioned before.

"Well, is there any news about the actress?"

Qin Fan knew what he was worried about. Movie Emperor Feng was not only strict with himself, but also with his partners. If Huanyu randomly found a female star to play the heroine, he would definitely not take it.

"Don't worry, Teacher Xingxin is more strict than you about casting issues. Last time "The Actor" chose the heroine, he even rejected Li Sisi and Ni Bai. If Huanyu wants to randomly insert someone, even him You can't even pass that level."

"That's good." After Feng Jing finished speaking, he added, "But I have a request. If the film crew cannot agree, we may not be able to cooperate."

"What are the requirements?"

"If you shoot a night scene, it can't go past twelve o'clock. I have to finish work before twelve o'clock."

Qin Fan was quiet for a while, seeming to be thinking: "Is it because of the video that Michelle showed me before? He said that your situation has improved now."

"That's because I took the medicine prescribed by the doctor. If I had a job, I would definitely not be able to take the medicine."

Qin Fan was silent for a while and then said: "I will try my best to communicate with the film crew about this."

"It must be written into the contract."

"...Okay." Qin Fan agreed and made his own request, "Should you go to Dr. Zhang for psychological counseling again tomorrow? I hope to see results."

Feng Jing: "..."

This is really not his decision.

"Director Qin, I think psychological counseling is a long process, and it is impossible to get immediate results." He tried to persuade Qin Fan from a scientific perspective, "And Dr. Zhang's fees are very expensive."

"It doesn't matter, the company is not short of the money."

Feng Jing: "..."

For Feng Jing, Dr. Zhang's psychological counseling courses are just like the performance training courses offered by the company to artists, and must be attended.

This was the third time that Feng Jing met Dr. Zhang, and he was already quite familiar with him. Doctor Zhang changed into another suit today. He sat across from Feng Jing, looked at him and smiled: "How is your situation recently? Do you still feel like you have turned into a dog?"

Feng Jingdao: "If I say yes, will you hand me over to the psychiatric department?"

Dr. Zhang laughed twice: "No, because I don't want them to make this money."

Feng Jing: "..."

He suddenly felt that the way Dr. Zhang looked at him was like looking at a big fat sheep.

Dr. Zhang changed the subject at the right time: "Did you have a dog at home when you were a child?"

"No, my mother almost doesn't even want to keep me and my sister, let alone dogs."

Dr. Zhang thought for a while and said: "Maybe after raising a dog, she will find that she likes raising dogs more."

Feng Jing: "..."

Wait a minute, as a psychiatrist, is this really a good way to talk to patients?

Dr. Zhang asked again: "Did you like watching superhero cartoons when you were a child?"

Feng Jing said: "I really like watching it now."

"Have you ever imagined becoming like them when you grow up?"

"..." Feng Jing seemed to understand what Dr. Zhang wanted to ask, "Even if you have thought about it, no superhero is a dog, right?"

"This is not necessarily true. Everyone has a different definition of a hero. Maybe something happened to you when you were a child, which gave you a subconscious hero complex for dogs."

"...No."

"Have you ever been bitten by a dog?"

"...after biting it, it turns into DogMan?"

Dr. Zhang chuckled twice: "Mr. Feng, you are very humorous."

"...Thank you."

I happily chatted with Dr. Zhang for 40 minutes, and Feng Jing was released after serving his sentence. He leaned back on the back seat of the car and exhaled a long breath: "Mi Xian'er, you suggest to Qin Fan that when you come to chat with Dr. Zhang in the future, you should ask him to give me money."

Michelle: "..."

He automatically ignored this sentence and asked Feng Jing behind him: "Are you still going back to Zhenshui Township?"

"No."

Michelle was overjoyed, had Mr. Feng finally figured it out? What a joy!

"Today my mother made an appointment with my sister and me for dinner. We will go to their place first and then return to Zhenshui Township."

Michelle: "..."

What is more sad than sadness is empty joy.

The area where Feng Jing's parents lived was a mansion area. As soon as they drove into this area, Michelle felt that the car assigned by the company was out of tune with the surrounding area.

"You can leave as soon as you drop me off. I'll drive back by myself in the evening." Feng Jing got out of the car and said to Michelle in the cab.

"Okay." Michelle agreed, and made a half circle around the large fountain in the garden, then walked out of the gate.

The servant at home helped Feng Jing open the door. Feng Jing saw the red high heels at the door and asked, "Has my sister arrived already?"

"Yes, I came early in the afternoon."

"Yes." Feng Jing nodded and walked in. Feng Ya and Feng's mother were sitting on the sofa chatting. When she saw Feng Jing come in, she complained to Feng's mother: "Mom, this brother of mine must not be my biological brother. I asked him to give me a lipstick worth more than 200 yuan, and he didn't Not willing."

"..." Feng Jing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "I gave you more than two hundred."

"But it's not what I want!"

"Then give it back to me."

Feng Ya: "..."

Feng's mother stood up from the sofa after watching the show: "Are you done with the quarrel? Dinner will be served after the quarrel."

Feng Jing and Feng Ya looked at each other and walked towards the dining room together. Several people sat at the table, waiting for Father Feng to come down. Feng Jing looked at Feng Ya and asked her, "Brother-in-law didn't come with you?"

Feng Ya turned away and coughed, saying: "There is something wrong with his company, so he can't come over."

Feng Jing frowned. His sister had been like this for ten years. She didn't dare to look at him every time she lied.

"Is he good to you?"

Feng Ya still looked away: "Of course."

"Really? Let's make an appointment to have a meal sometime."

Feng Ya finally turned around and looked at him: "No need, you are so busy at work, how can you eat?"

Feng Jing: "..."

He smiled at Feng Ya: "No matter how busy you are at work, you still need to eat, and I am on vacation recently."

"Why are you taking a vacation! Make more money while you are young!"

Feng Jing: "..."

Suddenly she felt sorry for the employees in her company.

Feng’s mother coughed and asked Feng Jing: “Has the problem with that friend you told me about before been solved?”

Feng Jing sighed: "No."

Feng's mother raised her eyebrows slightly: "Tell me what problem he encountered. Maybe we can give him a reference."

"That's right." Seeing that the topic had finally moved away from her, Feng Ya quickly agreed with Feng's mother.

Feng Jing thought for a while. His mother was indeed very knowledgeable in this area. She might have some ideas: "It's not a big deal. He just said that he would exchange souls with a dog every night."

"Pfft!" Feng Ya couldn't help laughing, "Your friend has a very rich imagination. Have you watched too many movies?"

Feng Jing ignored her. Mother Feng thought for a while and asked him: "Master Chang Xin went there last time. What did you say?"

"When he said the time hadn't come yet, I think he was just making a fool of himself."

"Didn't you say anything else?"

"I also said that I need true love's kiss, but my friend has already kissed the dog's mistress, and it's no use."

"Hahahahahahahahaha." Feng Ya laughed again, "Swapping souls with a dog, what's the use of kissing the mistress? You should kiss the dog!"

Feng Jing: "…………"

She actually discovered a blind spot. :)

Mother Feng also nodded: "It makes sense."

"..." Feng Jing was helpless, "Mom, why are you crazy like your sister?"

He doesn’t want to kiss the dog, okay!

"What are you talking about? I heard your laughter upstairs." Father Feng came down from upstairs, walked to his seat and sat down. Feng Ya looked at her father and said with a smile: "Dad, Feng Jing said that one of his friends turned into a dog. Do you think it's funny or not?"

Feng Jing: "..."

Not funny at all!

Jiang Ran was attending a class reunion in Tianxiaju at this time. There were quite a lot of people at this party. It was more of a class reunion than a party of their foreign language school. Jiang Ran's senior sister Lan Ning also came. Because she had just married the great writer Xing Xin, everyone's topics almost always revolved around her.

After a while, another topical figure came, and Lan Ning was finally saved.

The person who came was the top student that Zhao Ke mentioned to Jiang Ran before. He was an international student from Japan. He was very popular in their school because he was good-looking and had good grades. Uh, but what's his name? Shangcun? Nakamura? Shimomura?

Jiang Ran can no longer remember clearly.

"Ah, Kimura-san! You are finally here, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time!"

...It turns out to be Kimura.

"Jiang Ran, how's the translation going?" Everyone gathered around Kimura, the top student, and Lan Ning finally found a chance to chat with Jiang Ran. It's just that the topic of conversation made Jiang Ran feel a row of ellipsis in his heart: "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver the manuscript on time. Unlike Teacher Xingxin, I never delay the manuscript."

"..." It seems that Teacher Xingxin's delay in drafting the manuscript was indeed from within and outside the literary industry.

"Actually, teachers are much more diligent now."

Jiang Ran looked at her in surprise: "Why do you still call him teacher? Shouldn't you call him husband?"

Lan Ning: "..."

Is it possible that even Jiang Ran wants to join in the fun?

"By the way, do you like Feng Jing?" Lan Ning very cleverly brought the topic to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment and asked her, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"Last time I saw you posted on WeChat that you were queuing up to buy the lipstick he endorsed." Lan Ning said, sighing, "Oh, women change their minds so quickly. When we were in college, we were fans of Mo Tianming together. My little friend joined the enemy camp in the blink of an eye."

Jiang Ran: "..."

"Tell you quietly," Lan Ning's voice lowered as if to match this sentence, "Huanyu bought the film and television rights of "The Secret" a while ago. I heard from the teacher that the male protagonist may find Feng Jing is here to act."

"Really?!!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down."

"Oh..." Jiang Ranzhen said softly, "Really?"

"...Really, but I don't know if Feng Jing will accept it."

Jiang Ran's hand holding the cup tightened slightly. "Secret" is her favorite novel by Xing Xin. Although Xing Xin's stories are very cleverly designed, most of them describe the dark side, and "Secret" 》Different, it is a story full of love. If Feng Jing really plays the role...ah, I'm a little excited just thinking about it!

"Sneeze." Feng Jing suddenly sneezed.

"Wow, brother, someone is missing you." Feng Ya held the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and looked at Feng Jing jokingly. Feng Jing took a sip of the water on hand and said to her, "Maybe it's just that it's cold and I need to put on more clothes."

Father Feng looked at the sky outside and said to him, "It seems like it's going to rain. It's really time to put on more clothes."

Feng Ya curled her lips, feeling that talking to their men was really boring.

But Father Feng’s prediction was very accurate. Not long after they finished eating, it started pouring rain outside. Mother Feng looked at the heavy rain outside and said to Feng Jing, "You can stay here tonight. It's not safe to drive in such heavy rain."

Just as Feng Jing was about to respond, he remembered that Jiang Ran seemed to have said that he was going to attend a class reunion today? It's raining so heavily, how will she go back later?

"No, I still have a new script to study, so I'd better go back first."

"Well, drive slower on the road."

"Yeah." He took a car key from the drawer and walked to the garage.

He remembered Jiang Ran saying that they had a gathering at Tianxiaju... Well, Tianxiaju and the road back to Zhenshui Township were in opposite directions, but he could still pick her up "on the way".

Jiang Ran and others came out of Tianxiaju and found that it was raining heavily outside. Everyone was discussing how to go back. A silver Jaguar suddenly opened the door in the rain, and a handsome man stepped out of the car.

"Hey, is this Teacher Xingxin?"

"Yes, yes, I saw him at the press conference of "The Actor"!"

"He's here to pick up Lan Ning!"

So the focus that had finally moved away from Lan Ning suddenly gathered around because of the appearance of Xingxin.

"Didn't I tell him not to come..." Lan Ning was a little embarrassed. She hurriedly said goodbye to everyone and looked at Jiang Ran who was standing next to her. "How do you leave? It's not going well with you and them, right?"

Jiang Ran said: "It doesn't matter, I'll just wait for the rain to subside and take the subway back."

Lan Ning thought for a while and said: "Don't bother, let's take you back."

"No way, no way." Jiang Ran quickly refused, "I don't want to be your light bulb."

The students around him all laughed. Lan Ning blushed and ran into the umbrella held by Xingxin: "You didn't want to leave, so goodbye!"

Looking at the two people walking away together in the rain, the classmates began to envy one after another. Jiang Ran has always felt that it is good to be single for so many years, but occasionally he would envy such couples - their happiness can be simple, maybe it is An umbrella handed to you on a rainy day.

"Jiang Sang, why don't you take my car and go." Kimura, the top student, suddenly talked to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran was at a loss, and then she saw several female classmates standing behind Kimura, winking at her. Jiang Ran understood clearly and smiled at Kimura: "Your car shouldn't be able to seat so many people, right? You'd better take Mariko and the others away. I'll just take the subway back."

Kimura-san opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, when another eye-catching car drove past in the rain.

A white Cayenne.

Under the attention of everyone, it stopped in front of Jiang Ran accurately.

Jiang Ran: "???"

She thought she was blocking someone else's way and moved to the side. Unexpectedly, the Cayenne also moved with her, and then the car window lowered: "Miss Jiang, what a coincidence?"

Jiang Ran was stunned. Who was that iconic black mask and peaked cap not Mr. Feng?
