Chapter 989: How Many Years Can You Live Off Your Youth?
"Uncle Xiao," Mianmian said, "actors today really are different from our time. Back then, everyone started as extras, struggling for ages before getting the chance to play a decent role. It was only through one’s own acting skills that one could slowly take on lead roles. Nowadays, people join a production and immediately become the lead. Times have indeed changed."
These words were clearly meant for Shen Mianmian to hear.
Shen Mianmian listened without any expression, as if she wasn’t affected at all, but the expressions on Cheng Feiyang’s and Yang Xiaoxi’s faces weren’t very good. This Yu Fei always liked to make sarcastic comments whenever he could.
Xiao Qi naturally caught Yu Fei’s implication as well. He glanced at Shen Mianmian and then said with a smile, "Everyone’s opportunities are different. In the entertainment industry, there are many who are discovered by big directors and debut as lead actors or actresses. There’s nothing surprising about that."
Xiao Qi didn’t like Yu Fei’s attitude; people like that would suffer big losses sooner or later.
Besides, he had been in the movie industry for almost twenty years while Yu Fei had only been around for three or four, but Yu Fei compared himself to Xiao Qi without showing much respect for his senior.
He didn’t want to argue with Yu Fei, nor would he agree with what Yu Fei had said.
"But it’s also true that one needs acting skills to be discovered, right?" Yu Fei glanced at Shen Mianmian with a loaded comment. "Filmmaking isn’t all about looks, how long can one survive on youth alone?"
