The winner is crowned king [entertainment circle]

"Adventure of the Wilderness" follows the hot-blooded line of two male protagonists and brothers, interspersed without romance, and the only female character is still a villain. As the only female artist in Xiang Ling's team, Lu Suzi must participate in the role, but the image is too sweet Not only is it not suitable for a character with a purely bad and non-suffering background in the original book, but also the first play of an artist's debut is very critical, and it may fix the direction of the future play, and it will be difficult to transform in the future.

On the first day of the launch, unknown directors, unknown producers, unknown teams, and unknown IP adaptations, niche gossip entertainment mentioned their opening ceremony in a few words, and there were many people present but all For those who are not famous, the ceremony to go is simplified to burning incense and worshiping, and all the leading actors take a photo together and it's over.

This breeze has not blown in the entertainment industry, even if there is Duan Kongqing, no big media will come to interview, not to mention that on the day of the opening ceremony, Duan Kongqing did not come to the scene because of a cold, and the fans waiting outside the venue to meet their idols returned disappointed. As soon as the people left, all the local people who stayed were watching the excitement.

Xiang Ling was wearing a black mask. Halfway through the opening ceremony, he was called away by a phone call.

Ji Ruohe didn't know if he was drunk, and his voice was hoarse and deformed. As soon as the call was connected, he didn't care what Xiang Ling was doing, so he let out a long breath and asked Xiang Ling to drive to pick him up.

Xiang Ling didn't refuse, asked for the address, and walked towards the garage while talking on the phone.

Left behind by him, Zhang Xingxing was about to ask Lu Suzi if he should negotiate a higher salary for another film, when he was blown away by the wind.

Who is in such a hurry...

-

There was not much traffic on the road. It took Xiang Ling 15 minutes to drive to the Mingde Hospital that Ji Ruohe mentioned.

Ji Ruohe got into the car exhaustedly, Xiang Ling handed over a cup of hot milk, and said in an inaudible voice, "The roads are all small remote places, this is the only one, drink a little." How can the city not be blocked?

Ji Ruohe's blind attention to the life of the upper class is not fully reflected in Ji Ruohe. Just because of the speed of the car, the hot milk overflowed a little from the cup and wet Ji Ruohe's fingertips. The milk drank clean.

The grey-gray complexion got better, and Xiang Ling quietly retracted his staring eyes. In front of him was a wide and unobstructed road, and on both sides of the road were all kinds of pines, which had been settled for years, and the lush green color had already been seen in the traffic. Dust accumulates in the endless stream.

After a while, there was a long breathing sound from the back seat, which was quiet and peaceful.Yesterday, Duan Kongqing suddenly suffered from acute pneumonia, with an unstoppable cough and high fever, Ji Ruohe drove him to the hospital and took care of him all night without sleep, his eyes were red.In fact, apart from the need for him to go through some hospitalization procedures when he first came in, he just sat quietly in front of the hospital bed in the second half of the night, not leaving even half a step away, nor closing his eyes.

Unbearably tired, he stood in front of his car in a daze for a moment, took out his mobile phone and called Xiang Ling in a mysterious manner.

Xiang Ling didn't gossip, asked the address of the hospital, hung up the phone neatly, and rushed over to pick him up as quickly as possible.

Ji Ruohe thought he wouldn't come. If he remembered correctly, today should be the day when "Exploration of the Wasteland" starts.With doubts in his heart, he was sure that he really remembered correctly when he saw Xiang Ling in formal attire.

Xiang Ling sent him back to the gate of the villa, and looked back at Ji Ruohe who closed his eyes and wondered whether he was asleep or not. No one could guess Ling Mei's boss's temper. He didn't know whether to send him in or just sit quietly in the car. Wait for him to wake up.

The moment the car stopped for a final moment of inertia, Ji Ruohe said abruptly, "Today is the day you start the car."

No emotion, no apology, as if he was saying a fact but had nothing to do with him.

But Xiang Ling misunderstood what he meant, and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as there is a director on the set."

Unexpectedly, Ji Ruohe said again: "Kong Qing has acute pneumonia, rest for a few more days, shoot other people's scenes first, and then fill in his parts."

The two talked about different things, but fortunately Xiang Ling's mentality was stable, he adjusted, and there was no expression of displeasure on his face, and he said in a business-like way: "Okay, I understand."

Then Xiang Ling asked Ji Ruohe if he would drive into the villa, or let the housekeeper come out to pick him up.

Ji Ruohe's answer seemed to be in a different world from him, but Xiang Ling listened carefully.

"Kong Qing has few qualifications, but his acting quality is no worse than anyone else. The illness happened suddenly, and he didn't participate in the opening ceremony. There are gossips from outsiders. As the director and producer, you should be more responsible."

Xiang Ling nodded, lowering his eyes slightly, like a young man who obeyed the teachings of his predecessors.In fact, he wouldn't dare to attack Duan Kongqing, even if he didn't come to the opening ceremony because of a bad mood or other trivial matters, Xiang Ling wouldn't say anything, people are in the world, right and wrong, true and false, There is still awareness of what should be said and what should not be said.

Xiang Ling's meekness made Ji Ruohe's face flash with astonishment, but soon he felt that it was normal, and asked Xiang Ling to drive the car into the villa, and then went to buy him a drink and bring it over.

Xiang Ling asked what to drink, Ji Ruohe answered, looking at the buy.

-

Ji Ruohe took a bath, changed into a bathrobe, and sat at the dining table. There was a plate of sliced ​​bread and poached eggs on the table, and the knife and fork were lying on the edge of the plate with a cold light; Ji Ruohe flipped through the newspaper, Without blinking, watching with relish, the butler stood respectfully aside, like a robot.

As soon as the doorbell rang, the butler immediately stepped forward to open the door. Xiang Ling stood at the door with a red gift box and said to the butler, "Bring the boss a drink."

The butler heard correctly that it was for delivering drinks, but what he was holding was Lafite’s gift box. There were many people who came to the house with big bags and small bags, but those who came prepared would come to Boss Ji. Giving gifts instead of drinks also sounds extremely tasteless.

There was a sound from Ji Ruohe to let people in, and the butler backed away sideways, making way for Xiang Ling.

Apart from cooked rice and breakfast, there was no nutritious cup of steaming milk on the dining table. Ji Ruohe was probably really waiting for Xiang Ling to buy something for him to drink.

The last time, whether it was in a KTV suite or an entertainment club, Ji Ruohe never left his hand without red wine. He knew that he probably liked or was used to drinking this kind of drink, so he went to a Lafite specialty store and picked the best one to bring back. Dealing with many people in business, Xiang Ling and wine are inseparable, so he naturally recognizes some authentic products.

The butler took out the goblet from the cupboard, and without bothering Xiang Ling, he skillfully pried off the cap of Lafite's bottle and poured a third of it.

Xiang Ling didn't know whether he was nervous or uncomfortable, some thin beads of sweat oozed from the temples on his forehead, and from Ji Ruohe's perspective, there was some light.

"Is it hot, sit down."

The red wine glass was a little far away from Ji Ruohe, Xiang Ling pushed it towards his hand, turned around and sat in the farthest position from him.

Ji Ruohe stared at the red wine in silence for a long time, and said, "What do you drink for breakfast in the morning?"

Xiang Ling thumped, and an ominous thought popped up in his mind. Maybe Ji Ruohe wanted to drink grains of oatmeal or hot milk. He only considered that Ji Ruohe was destined for wealth, but he didn't consider that a high-ranking person is just a mortal in the world. , health preservation is also what they pursue.

Drinking alcohol in the morning is bad for your stomach, Xiang Ling hesitated and said, "It's hot for nothing."

Unsatisfactory answer, but Xiang Ling is not against Ji Ruohe. He has been in a trance for a long time. Xiang Ling's memory of having breakfast in the morning still stays in high school. After his mother passed away, he seldom eats breakfast, usually because Avoiding home, he hurried to school and had to come back before noon, so he minimized the time at home.

He hadn't tasted the taste of breakfast for a long time.

It was also his fault that Rebaikai was lying.

Ji Ruohe was very dissatisfied with his answer, loosened his grip on the knife and fork, picked up the newspaper in his hand and said, "It says you can't drink in the morning."

Xiang Ling said, "There's juice in the car, is that okay?"

It wasn't any other juice, but Ji Ruohe's favorite mango flavor in his memory. After thinking about it for a long time, he bought Lafite and turned back halfway. He bought a cup of mango juice in a small shop with a clean storefront. The golden color was easy to drink. It arouses people's appetite, and the naked eye can see the fine bubbles rising jubilantly under the sunlight.

He didn't show it because he didn't want to be sentimental. He knew that rebirth was nonsense, and he also knew that it was impossible for Ji Ruohe to realize his true identity hidden under other people's skins, and he didn't want Ji Ruohe to have a downhearted past. The second-tier star has stolen the favor of Boss Ling Mei through unusual means and sent him caring and disgusting thoughts like dogs.

Xiang Ling did it carefully, and when he came in, he only had red wine in his hand.

Ji Ruohe finally raised his eyes, looked directly at Xiang Ling's pupils glistening with water, and said, "Take it here."

Xiang Ling was in a daze for a quarter of an hour, and when he came back to his senses, he got up and went back to the car to get him mango juice that should still be hot.

-

The full glass of mango juice was drunk to the bottom, and Ji Ruohe drank it almost in one gulp without panting. Xiang Ling watched the process without blushing or panting. She looked at him politely.

Ji Ruohe wiped his mouth gracefully with a napkin. The slice of bread on the plate did not move a bit. He got up and went upstairs, changed into a casual outfit and went downstairs. He said to Xiang Ling, who was always humble, "Don't buy mango juice next time." , the taste has long since changed.”

What he said was particularly interesting, and it could be understood as a reminder to an acquaintance who hadn't seen him for a long time that he should pay attention to this detail when they meet again in the future; it was also like giving useful advice to a sycophant who flattered himself.On the surface, Xiang Ling thought it was the second type, but his heart felt as if he was tossed on the waves, unable to calm down for a long time.

Ji Ruohe took a step first, ignoring Xiang Ling behind him, when he walked out of the villa gate and the butler came out to see him off, Xiang Ling asked him, "Does Mr. Ji like mango juice?"

The butler shook his head and said, "I have been with Mr. Ji for seven years, and I have never seen him drink it. However, Mr. Duan likes to drink Indian milk tea. He always carries some at home, and he also drinks it."

Xiang Ling thanked him and drove to the company.

No one is static, Xiang Ling still pretended to be smart and humiliated himself once, at least in his soul.

-

The first day of filming was relatively smooth, because Ji Ruohe greeted him in advance, and the director couldn't say anything. The newcomer's expressions and action lines were just right, and he couldn't find faults, otherwise it would be obvious to others.

When Xiang Ling left the set temporarily, Zhang Xingxing exercised power on his behalf and helped the newcomers a lot. He was carefree, and his love of laughing made him and the people on the set hot.

Song Yun, the youngest of the four boys, has a particularly contagious smile. His eyes are like crescent moons, and his cracked lips reveal small and cute canine teeth. Zhang Xingxing likes to play with him the most, and he is said to be the one who loves to laugh They are all kind, and there is no way to alienate him.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xingxing and Song Yun were discussing which game is the most fun recently. Zhang Xingxing said CF, and Song Yunfei said it was greedy for snakes.

When Zhang Xingxing was opening the software, Xiang Ling scanned the phone. Before he had time to get hairy, he saw the caller clearly, put on a flattering smile and said, "Hi, Jiang."

Not wanting to eat a bun on the other end of the phone, he scolded him: "I asked you to talk about Lu Suzi's play today, where did you go? The result of you talking to me is to let her participate in "Laughing!" "The Small Town"? Do you know what will happen if a girl acts in a comedy? This is what you told me?"

The phone call stunned Zhang Xingxing, and he stammered, "I, I didn't know I was going to talk about Su Zi's play, so you didn't tell me."

Xiang Ling cursed regardless of his image: "You are so fucking crazy that you don't know who you are, right? Didn't you see the message I sent you at [-] o'clock in the morning?!"

"I……"

"What about me, get out of here and go back to the company, if you don't show up for 10 minutes, I'll break your leg!"

The phone hung up unexpectedly, and it could even be said to be arrogant. Zhang Xingxing was happy one second, but his face became as bad as a stool in the next second. He quickly opened the message, and there was an unread message. Click it to see, the item Ling Fa's, the content is also similar to what he said.

But he did not receive the message at eleven o'clock in the morning. He carefully watched the time when the message was received. It was really eleven o'clock. Zhang Xingxing slapped his head suddenly. He was not online with his friends at eleven o'clock. Playing the game, in order not to be disturbed, I turned off the message notification, and it has not been turned on since then.

This time it's broken, the little ancestor will definitely scold him to death.

Not caring about arguing with Song Yun, under a pair of puzzled eyes, he left the set with his phone and coat.

-

02:30, staff lounge.

Lu Suzi hung her head and said nothing, sitting opposite her, Sister Liu was wearing a thick foundation, playing with her red nails in a noble posture.

Xiang Ling pushed the door open and came in, Lu Suzi couldn't help shaking, his head drooping even lower.

Xiang Ling got straight to the point and questioned Sister Liu: "Liu Meiren, it's not kind of you to do this."

Sister Liu gently blew on her neatly manicured and beautiful nails, and slightly adjusted her sitting posture. The afternoon sun just hit her flaxen hair through the glass window wall, shining brightly, making her look younger and impenetrable.

"Honest or not, it doesn't seem to be what you and I should talk about. Su Zi followed me voluntarily. There is only a temporary contract between you, but I signed her with a formal contract. It stands to reason that I am neither a digger nor a prostitute." It's not a violation of the company's rules to be in the corner of your wall, but how come you are being unkind."

Xiang Ling said coldly: "Who said this? You know that newcomers who have just debuted are most afraid of their first comedy. If they leave a fixed impression on the audience, it will be very difficult to change in the future, or they will never be able to change. You Having been an agent for so many years, you should know better than me."

Not to be outdone, Sister Liu shot back: "At least I gave her a chance, as long as she has the opportunity to show up, as long as she succeeds, as long as she can make money, you five artists, and the other four men all have roles, so there is one more embarrassing Is it a woman? Or do you never think about making a debut with Su Zi at all."

Xiang Ling: "I have my own measure."

"There's no excuse for what's appropriate. You keep saying you're thinking about Su Zi, so let me ask you that you can't take part in "The Expedition of the Wasteland". Have you found any other plays for Su Zi to act in? "The Wasteland" In the launching ceremony of "Expedition", you also ran to find Boss Ji with your tail between your legs, no one knew what was going on."

"If you don't have the skills, don't come to my teacher to ask questions. If you can't keep the artist, you should think about your own problems. Don't bite others like a dog."

……

Arriving at the company from the set, Zhang Xingxing went to Xiang Ling's work area and found him sleeping on a chair with the back of his hands covering his eyes.

Time is quiet, outlining the absurd sexiness and dilapidation of youth.

Zhang Xingxing's heart was hit hard, and there was a burst of distress in his heart. He didn't know when it started. Every time he looked at the back of that person, he could always see the fragile compassion under the hard shell.

Zhang Xingxing stood motionless at the door, but Xiang Ling on the other side spoke.

It's my fault for not being able to keep people, and I don't blame anyone, but that's not what I care about.

I thought they cared about the same as me, but today it turns out that what they care about is very different.
