Chen Xingyan did not say a word. She simply looked at Tangning with a wronged look in her eyes.
"Xing Er, get up first."
"It's fine, Auntie Bai. I've actually liked her from the start," Tangning replied straightforwardly. Tangning replied straightforwardly. She had never been biased when it came to judging people because she believed in magnetism. If two people were attracted to each other, they would definitely be fated to be friends. So, Tangning did not feel that Chen Xingyan should follow any rules.
Chen Xingyan did not respond as she sat down on the sofa.
Seeing this, Tangning did not pursue the matter any further. She simply replied, "I don't need a stunt double."
"Why not?"
"Because I've always done things on my own."
"But, it's very dangerous!" An Zihao was confused. Did Tangning need to put on a show for others to see?
"Firstly, you should know better than anyone that being a stunt double is a very dangerous job. Your body and life are not guaranteed. I don't care if others need it or not, but I'm certain that I don't need it," Tangning replied in seriousness. "Secondly, the role belongs to you and the script belongs to you. Only when you step into the role yourself will you know how it feels and how you feel. There are some things that can't be imagined. If a character doesn't complete a scene on their own, then... don't you feel that their life is incomplete?"
After hearing Tangning's words, Chen Xingyan fell silent for a few seconds. Although she felt that Tangning was being too serious, she liked it.
"I don't like people that follow the rules!"
"So, can you tell me why you want to be my stunt double?"
Chen Xingyan thought for a moment. She was used to being shameless. Why would she need to protect that b * tch's reputation? So, Chen Xingyan explained everything that An Zihao had done to Tangning and Bai Lihua. He included how he smashed her video game console and how he found a newcomer to bully her; he told her everything!
After hearing everything, Tangning felt that An Zihao didn't seem like someone like that. But, on the other hand, she wasn't immune to things like this. She couldn't stand to see someone she knew being bullied, even if the person that had bullied her was her good friend.
"Since you can't continue, then don't do it," Bai Lihua replied.
"But, that jerk has written it in the contract. If I break it, I will have to pay him $20 million."
"Are you worse than Annie?" Tangning asked straightforwardly. She didn't care if it was $20 million or not.
"Are you kidding me? I've been in the entertainment industry since I was 7..." Chen Xingyan was obviously unconvinced. Plus, when it came to martial arts, Annie only learned mixed martial arts, yet she knew all sorts of tricks. If they were to really fight, she would never admit defeat.
"Then why do you bear it?" "If you are really as fearless as you say, then you shouldn't let the people that look down on you live a good life."
"To put it bluntly, I don't like people robbing me."
"Even if I don't like it, it depends on whether I want it or not."
"If it was me, if I really didn't want to go abroad, then I wouldn't go. But, the opportunity … I'm sorry, I don't want it, but it won't be yours." After speaking, Tangning paused for a moment and looked at Chen Xingyan again, "In this industry, people always support the strong and step on the weak. Even if you are only a stunt double, you should be the best stunt double. Only then will you have the right to say no to others."
"When that time comes, even if you don't agree with An Zihao and don't want to follow his arrangements, even if he sends someone else to anger you, you don't have to care."
Chen Xingyan listened to Tangning quietly. From what she knew, Tangning was a quiet person that relied on righteousness to get to where she was. Especially at the beginning, when Tangning mentioned her opinion of stunt doubles. At that time, Chen Xingyan felt that Tangning was a normal person.
But, after hearing the rest of her words...
Why did Chen Xingyan feel like …
Tangning was a little cool?
Above all, Tangning's words ignited a fire in her heart.
"In the entertainment industry, defeating the unknown is exciting."
Chen Xingyan understood what Tangning meant. If she wanted to look down on something, she needed to make it look up to it first.
Seeing that Chen Xingyan understood, Tangning did not say anything else. She simply asked, "Did you say that Zihao smashed your video game console? I have the latest German video game console here. There are only two in the entire world. One is a test product and the other is at home. You can take it home in a moment as a gift. "
Chen Xingyan looked at Tangning as they smiled at each other, "Is it fun?"
"I'm not sure if it's fun or not, but I'm sure it won't be broken."
"In that case, I'll gladly accept," Chen Xingyan did not hold back.
Seeing that the two were like old friends, Bai Lihua felt a lot more at ease. Originally, she was afraid that Chen Xingyan would anger Tangning, but she was overthinking things. Tangning was good at manipulating people's hearts. No matter what kind of person stood in front of her, they would have no choice but to lower their heads.
Chen Xingyan wasn't stupid. In fact, she was extremely smart. She knew why Tangning had given her a video game console.
So, while An Zihao was driving Annie home, Chen Xingyan was sitting in the living room playing with Tangning's video game console.
An Zihao was annoyed, "You got another one?"
Chen Xingyan replied arrogantly, "Why do you care?"
"It looks fun." Annie was envious and wanted to fight for Chen Xingyan's favor. She wanted Chen Xingyan to know her place. So, she pretended to be weak and spoke with a hint of desire.
"I'll give it to you another day," An Zihao was used to seeing fights between artists, so he naturally understood Annie's motive.
But … Chen Xingyan smiled as she crossed her arms, "I'm sorry, but there's only one in the entire world. Don't tell me Miss An wants the one in my hands?"
"Mr. An …"
Seeing that An Zihao was serious, Chen Xingyan replied, "I'm sorry, Tangning gave it to me. Why don't you ask her for it?"
Hearing this, An Zihao clenched his teeth. This brat!
She finally knew how to be arrogant.
Most importantly, what was Tangning getting involved in this?
"Tangning? Do you know Tangning? "Annie's eyes burned with jealousy.
"Go get some rest. It's getting late," An Zihao reminded Annie. He felt it was time to stop playing such childish games.
However, as soon as the two women turned around, Chen Xingyan suddenly stopped them, "Wait!"
"What is it?" An Zihao had already reached the door. But, as soon as he heard Annie's voice, he turned around.
"I'll take the script for 'The Savage Wars'," Chen Xingyan said as she raised her eyebrows and looked at Annie. Chen Xingyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Annie. Seeing Annie's unhappy expression, she added, "Tangning is right, there's no reason not to take something that belongs to you..."
