Seeing that everyone was talking to Zhao Wanqing, Ishii Keiko, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, could not take it anymore. She said indifferently, "Isn't it just winning an Oscar? What's the big deal? Besides, relying on others to walk the red carpet, hmph, I, Ishii Keiko, really disdain doing such a thing. "
The atmosphere that had just been opened up by Hou Xu was instantly ruined by Ishii Keiko's words.
This time, even Qiao Mingkun frowned, and there was a trace of displeasure on his face. He thought to himself that this Ishii Keiko really did not know how to be a person. If this continued, wouldn't the banquet he organized be unable to continue?
Zhao Wanqing had long known Ishii Keiko's character. Hearing this, she was not angry at all. She said, "Miss Ishii is right. I didn't want to go either, but my husband hasn't found a suitable female companion. When he saw that I was going to Los Angeles, he asked me for help at the last minute. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so late. As for the Oscar, it's naturally nothing to Miss Ishii. Because you're a singer, not a movie star. Of course, with Miss Ishii's intelligence, if you start learning how to act now, I think you'll definitely be nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in less than 50 years. "
"Pfft."
Cai Pingya and the others could not help but laugh when they heard Zhao Wanqing's words.
She had been performing for 50 years and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. She was indeed smart.
Ishii Keiko naturally heard Zhao Wanqing's sarcasm. She snorted and said, "Miss Zhao, don't blame me for being too frank. In the past few years, if it wasn't for your husband helping you write songs, you probably wouldn't even have the right to sit here. It's useless to have a sharp tongue. Strength is the foundation of an artist. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Miss Ishii is right. The reason why I was able to reach this point in just two years was indeed because of my husband. We Hua Xia have a saying that goes, 'Be the husband.' I'm a woman. If I don't rely on my husband, who else can I rely on? Of course, on this point, I can't compare to Miss Ishii. My husband wrote most of the lyrics and music for the songs I sang. As for Miss Ishii's songs, they relied on more than ten to twenty different lyricists and composers. There were even some unpleasant rumors on the Internet. I, Zhao Wanqing, concede defeat. "
Zhao Wanqing spoke in a gentle tone. From beginning to end, there was not a single dirty word, but every sentence was full of anger, especially the unpleasant rumor that made Ishii Keiko feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Back then, in order to get a top song, she didn't hesitate to sell herself and let a forty-year-old music producer play with her for a week. Later, although she became a superstar as she wished, this incident became a stain on her life.
The music producer went to prison for other reasons. In court, he directly named more than a dozen female artists who had been played by him, including Ishii Keiko, who was at the peak of her career.
At that time, it caused a huge uproar in Japan.
Zhao Wanqing's words obviously hit Ishii Keiko's sore spot, making her face instantly turn ugly.
"Pa."
Ishii Keiko slapped the table and stood up aggressively. She said angrily, "Miss Zhao, you're too presumptuous."
Zhao Wanqing said indifferently, "Miss Ishii, why are you so agitated? In our entertainment industry, which star doesn't have some scandals? My husband is such a low-key person, but from time to time, some newspapers and magazines write nonsense about him, let alone you. Today, Director Qiao is treating us to a meal. Even if you don't give me face, you should give face to the host. "
Zheng Shaoji, who was next to her, touched Ishii Keiko and said, "Miss Ishii, the innocent knows that they are innocent. There's no need to be angry over groundless things. Come, sit down. Don't let others see you as a joke. "
At this time, a waiter knocked on the door and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the food has been served. Can we come in?"
Qiao Mingkun secretly thought that it was just in time and said, "Come in. Miss Ishii, Miss Zhao, we're just quarreling. It's best to be harmonious. Now, the food has been served. I suggest that we raise our glasses together and wish 'Night of Singers' a good rating. "
"Cheers."
Although the atmosphere was a bit inappropriate, everyone, including Ishii Keiko, still stood up to give Qiao Mingkun face and drank the first glass of wine.
Just as they sat down, Ishii Keiko said, "Director Qiao, everyone, I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well. I'll go back to rest first."
Qiao Mingkun naturally knew the reason for Ishii Keiko's departure. He thought to himself, Since you want to leave, that's great. With you around, I really don't know how to drink this wine.
Between Ishii Keiko and Zhao Wanqing, Qiao Mingkun stood on Zhao Wanqing's side without hesitation.
Zhao Wanqing had hundreds of millions of fans in Hua Xia. With her, the ratings would not be a problem at all. Although Ishii Keiko was quite powerful in Japan, the audience in Hua Xia did not know her. Without Ishii Keiko, "Night of Singers" would not have any loss, but without Zhao Wanqing, it would be absolutely different. The ratings would drop a lot.
What's more, behind Zhao Wanqing was Xiao Yunhai, a god-level figure. He was a heavenly superstar who was vaguely the number one person in Huaxia's entertainment industry. He had great influence in the world. Even the Ministry of Culture didn't dare to offend him, let alone Qiao Mingkun.
Therefore, for Ishii Keiko's excuse to leave, Qiao Mingkun just pretended to persuade her to stay and let Zhu Chengwei send her away.
As soon as Ishii Keiko left, the atmosphere at the table suddenly changed. Everyone began to talk and laugh.
Cai Pingya gave a thumbs up to Zhao Wanqing and chuckled softly, "Wan Qing, you've been with your Great God for a long time. The level of your speech has obviously improved a lot. You don't even spit out a dirty word. You're really amazing. If I were Ishii Keiko, I would be so angry that my lungs would explode. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "How could that be? I'm just telling the truth. "
Cai Pingya rolled her eyes and said, "Don't give me that. Let me tell you, you're not wrong to scold her. Before you came back, she said in front of everyone that you were deliberately acting like a big shot, and I taught her a lesson. This person is so annoying. She doesn't even look at where she is. In our Hua Xia, it's not her turn to be arrogant and domineering. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "Sister Cai, do you know how we offended her?"
Cai Pingya shook her head and said with a wry smile, "That's the problem. We didn't know each other before. How could we offend her? "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Then there's only one reason, envy, jealousy, and hatred."
"Your Great God said that, right?"
Zhao Wanqing nodded.
Cai Pingya said, "I have to say, the summary is very accurate."
As the singers still had to rehearse the next day, no one drank too much, and Qiao Mingkun did not persuade them too much.
Before leaving, Zhao Wanqing said to Qiao Mingkun, "Director Qiao, I'm really sorry. Tonight, because of me and Ishii Keiko, it's not easy for you. "
Qiao Mingkun did not expect a Heavenly Queen like Zhao Wanqing to apologize to him so frankly. He could not help but have a good impression of her. He smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, you're being too serious. Justice is in the hearts of people. Everyone can see clearly who is being unreasonable and who is being forced to fight back. Miss Zhao, you don't have to care. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding. Goodbye."
Looking at Zhao Wanqing's car slowly leaving, Qiao Mingkun sighed and said, "No wonder she can become a Heavenly Queen in her twenties. Just from her conduct in life, you can see it. That Ishii Keiko is far inferior to her. "
Zhu Chengwei smiled and said, "Director Qiao, you haven't seen Mr. Xiao. He's a truly wonderful person."
Qiao Mingkun said, "Now that you mention it, I really want to have a good chat with this genius. By the way, which singer did we invite for 'Opposite a Star' tomorrow night? "
Zhu Chengwei said, "It was originally Teacher Hou, but now it's changed to Miss Zhao. Mr. Xiao has just won an Oscar and is at the peak of his career. Since we can't interview him personally, it's the same to interview his wife. I think it should be quite attractive to those fanatical fans. "
Qiao Mingkun asked, "Miss Zhao agreed?"
Zhu Chengwei nodded. "Yes."
Qiao Mingkun patted Zhu Chengwei's shoulder and said with satisfaction, "Chengwei, well done. Remember to ask the host to ask more questions about Mr. Xiao tomorrow. I think the ratings will definitely increase a lot. "
Zhu Chengwei said, "Director, don't worry. I know what to do."
