I'm a serious president [entertainment circle]

After hearing Shang Xingye's words, the director immediately became interested: "This play is adapted from a novel, and some plots will definitely be deleted and adapted when it is made into a script. If you say that your lines are from the original novel..."

The director thought about it carefully, and said, "I don't remember it either."

Shang Xingye shook his head and explained: "Those lines are not from the novel. The six characters I played just now are actually people who Song Yibian disguised in the novel. The man is a member of the Demon Cult..."

Hearing the words, the director immediately reacted. He carefully recalled Shang Xingye's performance just now, and immediately stopped Shang Xingye's words, and said excitedly: "I see! The old man is the elder of the Demon Sect, the woman is the diva of the brothel, the girl is the princess, the young man It's the sixth prince, and that kid is the key figure in the Jiang He case."

The director showed appreciation: "Your lines are indeed in line with the character traits of these characters."

Shang Xingye hummed, and continued: "Because the lines in the script are too long, I can't intercept any fragments to act, so I just used their character characteristics to design lines that fit the characters, and then in these 10 minutes Put it together and perform.”

The assistant director felt that Shang Xingye was being sophistry, and he said, "Since you want to play six people at once, you can simply reduce the lines in the script and compile it into a 10-minute clip..."

The director raised his hand to stop the assistant director's arguing, and said with a laugh: "I understand his intention, he just wants to let us recognize these people through performance, not to let us recognize that he is acting. who."

Shang Xingye smiled happily: "Yes, what I want to show is not only my familiarity with the script, but also my understanding of Song Yibian and his disguised characters."

After Shang Xingye finished speaking, he saw the director opposite nodded in satisfaction, while the assistant director was full of resignation, and the producer frowned, as if he was still hesitating.

Gu Jianchi, who was independent of the three of them, just sat by the side and kept silent.

However, Shang Xingye noticed that Gu Jianchi had already passed him, and gave Ji Shi a few looks, tsk, this guy, pretending to be a public servant, said that he was sitting in the town to cast a role, but in fact he had been hooking up with his manager.

The director discussed in a low voice with the producer and the assistant director, and then the director said to Shang Xingye: "We still need to discuss it. When the audition results come out, we will notify you."

The director stood up again, took Shang Xingye's hand and encouraged him: "I have seen many young actors, some of them are hardworking, some are lazy, some are obedient, and some try to imitate their roles, but there are very few of them. An actor like you who thinks about his character."

"You must persevere. I appreciate you very much. Even if it doesn't work this time, we can still cooperate if we have a chance in the future."

Shang Xingye smiled and said, "Thank you director for the compliment, I also look forward to working with you."

Afterwards, Shang Xingye and Ji Shi left the suite.

After they left, the director and the producer's assistant director had some disputes over the casting of Song Yibian. The director wanted to choose Shang Xingye, who had a better performance and a deeper understanding of the role, while the producer wanted to choose Lu, who was more popular. Ren Jia.

They all have an actor profile in their hands. In addition to information such as the height, weight and works of the actors, there are also data such as Weibo topics and Baidu popularity in the past six months. These are now one of the indicators for selecting actors.Among the four, Lu Renjia had the highest degree of topicality, and Tai Dong once.

During the Chinese New Year period, Shang Xingye became popular for a while because of "18° Love Slightly Drunk" and "Peach Garden Life", but Shang Xingye's team did not deliberately maintain the popularity, so the popularity quickly went down.

Therefore, many sunspots laughed at Shang Xingye for being so fast.

The goals of the director and the three of them are very obvious. The director looks at acting skills, the producer looks at popularity, and the assistant director wants to support his own people.

So Gu Jianchi spoke, his tone was very calm, no emotion could be heard: "Who do you think is the best deputy director?"

The three of them were taken aback when they heard Gu Jianchi speak. You must know that during the audition process, Gu Jianchi showed a lack of interest. They all thought that Gu Jianchi didn't care about the role of "Song Yibian". I just came to watch the previous male second casting.

Who knew that when they were competing for the second male role, Gu Jianchi hadn't opened his mouth, but now he did so suddenly, and when he asked such a question, it sounded like he was incriminating, and the assistant director couldn't answer it.

The assistant director wiped off his sweat and said with an apologetic smile: "I think their performances have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which one does Mr. Gu think is better?"

Gu Jian said in a calm manner: "You are the professional in casting, and you have already asked me, so what do you need?"

Although his tone was calm, the assistant director was terrified, and his forehead was sweating.

Gu Jianchi said: "You choose slowly, I will leave first."

Seeing this, the producer hurriedly said, "I'll send Mr. Gu off."

After saying that, the producer followed Gu Jianchi out.

After everyone left, the director sighed and said, "Lao Yu, it's just the two of us now, so I'll open the skylight and speak honestly..."

"We have worked together for so long, and we still have some feelings, so I would like to remind you, I know your selfishness, I turn a blind eye to other dramas, but this time Mr. Gu attaches great importance to this drama, So for those main characters, don’t think about playing tricks, it’s impossible to choose the one you favor.”

Deputy Director Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Zhang for reminding me, I understand."

After a while, the producer came back and asked, "The actors playing Song Yibian, what are your final thoughts?"

Deputy Director Yu glanced at the director cautiously, and said, "I think Shang Xingye is very suitable."

-

After Ji Shi and Shang Xingye left, they went directly to the hotel restaurant downstairs for dinner.

After Shang Xingye was about to fly back to Nancheng, he didn't like the food on the plane. Of course, the food in the hotel tasted so-so, but it was better than the convenience meal on the plane, so he could barely eat at the hotel.

He and Ji Shi were having dinner when they saw Gu Jianchi coming not far away.

When Ji Shi saw Gu Jianchi, like a big crab in danger, he immediately waved his two big pincers and glared at Gu Jianchi fiercely.

But even so, Gu Jianchi would still come over with a smiling face and ask, "Where are you staying tonight?"

Ji Shidao: "We're going back to Nancheng tonight."

Gu Jianchi was surprised and said, "So fast?"

Ji Shi proudly said, "That's right, we are that fast."

Shang Xingye poked a small hole in Ji Shi's lie, and said, "Actually, I went back to Nancheng by myself, and he still wants to stay here to meet other crew members."

Gu Jianchi had a deep meaning: "Oh."

"..." Ji Shi stared at Shang Xingye with a serious expression on his face.

It's a pity that Shang Xingye has a thick skin, so he shrugged indifferently.

Gu Jianchi sat down directly, next to Ji Shi, and said, "It turns out that Manager Ji is not only biting the fat of our "The Worst World No. .”

Ji Shi glared at him: "Who knows what the result of the final audition will be? Of course, I have made two-handed preparations. Is it not uncommon for someone to be notified and pushed out after being selected?"

Gu Jianchi heard that he was very angry, and smiled embarrassingly.

They ate at the buffet, Ji Shi didn't want to chat with Gu Jianchi, so he got up to get food, but Gu Jianchi was stuck at the exit, like a fool, he just didn't move.

Ji Shi was angry: "Get out of the way."

Gu Jianchi: "Are you going to get food? Then tell me, how would I know if you don't tell me?"

As Gu Jianchi spoke, she stepped back, leaving a gap for Ji Shi.

Ji Shi straightened his waist and squeezed through. Because the gap was too narrow, he twisted and twisted hard. At the end of the twist, Gu Jianchi suddenly said to his buttocks, "Isn't this good?"

"..." Ji Shi stepped on Gu Jianchi hard, and then squeezed out.

Gu Jianchi grinned in pain, while Shang Xingye was watching the fun.

Just as Ji Shi walked a few steps away, he came back again: "Be honest with me, don't take advantage of my artist."

Shang Xingye, who was eating purple sweet potatoes, was almost choked. Under normal circumstances, no one could take advantage of him, but he didn't bother to say it. Anyway, the young couple was flirting, so he didn't bother.

Gu Jian said a bit late, and then touched Ji Shi's hand, it's an honest broker's bargain.

"..." Ji Shi really resisted, so he didn't put the dish on Gu Jianchi's head.

After Ji Shi left, Gu Jianchi let go of talking with Shang Xingye, he said curiously: "I'm really surprised, now that your family doesn't object to your acting so much, why don't you take advantage of your family's strength to fly?" How dare you still endure the accusations made by the assistant director just now?"

Gu Jianchi really finds it unbelievable. You must know that in this circle of exalting the high and depressing the low, as long as Shang Xingye's identity is revealed, he is guaranteed to take the initiative to send a lot of resources to him, and it is guaranteed that from the producer to the director, Everyone will be polite to him.

Shang Xingye said calmly: "Because one of the most important abilities of an actor is to have empathy. If you have not experienced failure and setbacks, if you get it too easily, you will easily lose your understanding of the role. I am not afraid of failure or rejection. .”

Gu Jianchi sighed and said, "Okay, although I don't quite understand...but when the result comes out, if it's not you, just tell me, and I'll spur them on."

When Shang Xingye heard him use the word "again", he knew that he had already urged him.

Gu Jianchi said again: "You don't have to think that you are going through the back door, because this time, in terms of the performance of these four people, I approve of you the most, and it has nothing to do with whether we are friends or not."

Shang Xingye smiled: "Okay."

Although Shang Xingye is not very determined to win the role, it doesn't mean that he will reject his approval. Besides, this is a role that Li Zhizhi really wants to see him play, so he must accept it. Take it down.

Perhaps because of a tacit understanding, Shang Xingye thought of Li Zhizhi, and Li Zhizhi sent him a wechat message.

Li Zhizhi: When will you arrive?I will pick you up.

Shang Xingye: It will be past twelve o'clock when I arrive in Nancheng, so I can just go back by myself.

Li Zhizhi: No, I will pick you up.

The corners of Shang Xingye's lips twitched, joy spread from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't stop being pretentious, but responded with an expressive "Okay!".

Although Shang Xingye was very happy, he still felt a little strange why Li Zhizhi had to come to pick him up. It was raining so late, and he was actually quite reluctant for Li Zhizhi to go out so hard.

Thinking so, Shang Xingye turned his head and looked at the dense night outside the window, hoping that the weather in Nancheng would be better.

-

The reason why Li Zhizhi insisted on picking up Shang Xingye was very simple, according to the introduction of "One Hundred Ways of Chasing People".

When the person being pursued wants to come back from another place, in order to show his sincerity, the pursuer must offer to pick him up. Even if the other party objects, he must insist on it, because the other party is likely to be polite. If the other party refuses for the second time, it is okay Don't insist anymore, because it's not good to stalk too much.

Li Zhizhi persisted for a while, and found that Shang Xingye didn't refuse again, so he felt that the book was quite accurate, and he was really polite!

Li Zhizhi happily drove out the new car. He had arranged for Zheng Lin to buy this new car, and he specially chose a car with a lower price.

It was probably because it was so ordinary that Shang Xingye was stunned when he saw this car. He dragged his luggage and stared at the car dumbfounded.

"When did you change the car?" Shang Xingye's doubts and anxiety grew bigger and bigger.

Li Zhizhi didn't expect Shang Xingye to find out as soon as he changed his car. This also belongs to the "your change, the other party can see it" mentioned in "One Hundred Ways of Chasing People".

Li Zhizhi couldn't help being a little happier: "It was changed recently."

Shang Xingye: "..."

Did something happen to the Li family?Or what happened to Luheng recently?

Shang Xingye thought about it secretly, but it was not good to ask directly at this time, so as not to spoil the atmosphere.

Shang Xingye put his luggage in the trunk suspiciously, and sat in the passenger seat.

Li Zhizhi held the steering wheel and asked happily: "How long will you stay this time? If you are free tomorrow, I can apply for a vacation and take you out to play, just the two of us."

As soon as Shang Xingye heard that he was interested, he almost always followed Li Zhizhi to meet friends before. This was the first time Li Zhizhi said that he wanted to take him out to play, so it counted as a date, right?Moreover, the young president who is still working hard specially applied for a vacation to accompany him to play...

The more Shang Xingye thought about it, the more excited he became, and he had already made up all kinds of dating locations and plots. He couldn't restrain his excitement, and asked expectantly, "Where do you want to take me?"

"We can watch movies at home during the day, and go to the park at night, what do you think?" Li Zhizhi explained, "After all, you are a little famous now, if you go to public places during the day, you may be recognized by people, so go to the park at night Might be more appropriate."

At this time, Shang Xingye couldn't care less about whether he was being demoted, but really started to worry about whether Li Zhizhi's company was in trouble, or even... went bankrupt?Even if they can only date at night, they don't need to go to the park to overwhelm the road.

But when he thought about it again, it wasn't right. If Luheng really encountered such a big crisis, there wouldn't be any news on the market.

Although Shang Xingye's heart was full of undercurrents, he still pretended to be calm on the surface, so as not to let Li Zhizhi see any flaws: "Yes, I will listen to your arrangements."

Li Zhizhi didn't doubt that he was there, and drove home happily.

Shang Xingye quietly sent Zhou Shankuo a WeChat message.

Shang Xingye: Brother, save the world! SOS! !

He is also in the business circle, so his brother must be better informed than him.

Zhou Shankuo was probably very busy, and it took him a long time to reply with a question mark:?

Shang Xingye: Has Lvheng encountered any financial troubles recently?

Zhou Shankuo: I haven't heard of it.

Zhou Shankuo: Wait a moment, I will ask Xingzhou to inquire.

Gu Xingzhou was indeed a swift secretary, and he gave a definite answer within 5 minutes, "No, and Luheng Group's profits have grown steadily last year and the first three months of this year, and its property is in good condition."

Shang Xingye breathed a sigh of relief when he got his brother's reply, when he heard Li Zhizhi say, "We're home!"

Shang Xingye put away his phone and said with a smile, "Okay."

When he looked sideways, he was dumbfounded: "???"

Is this Li Zhizhi's home?Such an old neighborhood?What about Li Zhizhi's penthouse duplex in the city center with a total price of tens of millions?

Li Zhizhi also saw Shang Xingye's shock, so he touched his face and explained embarrassingly: "I changed to a new house. Although the environment in the community is a bit poor, the inside of the house is still very clean, and the area of ​​the house is not big. , but very warm."

This neighborhood was also chosen by Li Zhizhi for Zheng Lin. It was an ordinary neighborhood, an ordinary area, and an ordinary house type.Li Zhizhi put in so much effort, naturally, to weaken his identity and talk about an ordinary relationship with Shang Xingye.

Shang Xingye: "..."

Shang Xingye took back what he said earlier. Now he doubts if there is something wrong with his brother's news channel. The little president must be in trouble!

In fact, this community is a bit old, the property management is also a little bit bad, and the design of the community is also a little bit bad, but other things are still good.

Of course, this is not bad, it just depends on who it is compared to. It is definitely good to compare it with other ordinary communities, but if it is compared with Li Zhizhi's original place of residence, it will be a world of difference.

Shang Xingye slowly entered the community in Li Zhizhi's car. His heart is very heavy now, very very heavy...

Li Zhizhi in the driver's seat didn't know that Shang Xingye was in a heavy heart, but he was very happy because Shang Xingye rarely came back.

After the two got out of the car, Li Zhizhi said: "There is something wrong with the elevator in this building. It has been repaired for several days, but it hasn't been fixed yet. We have to go up the stairs."

Shang Xingye: "..." Li Zhizhi used to live in a mansion, and the property fee was astonishingly expensive, so it was impossible for this kind of elevator to be out of service for a long time.

Uneasiness is like water droplets, flowing continuously, converging into a river in Shang Xingye's heart.

Li Zhizhi walked forward when Shang Xingye suddenly took his hand.

Li Zhizhi turned around in doubt: "What's wrong?"

Shang Xingye looked at Li Zhizhi with a complicated expression, how did the little president survive?You have encountered such a big trouble, and you still pretend to be okay?

Li Zhizhi watched him remain silent for a long time, and then remembered that Shang Xingye was a little afraid of bugs when he was recording a variety show, Li Zhizhi had an association, and then smiled: "You are not only afraid of bugs, but also afraid of the dark, right? It's okay, we... ...you can hold hands and go upstairs."

The more relaxed Li Zhizhi's tone was, the more sad Shang Xingye was.

But now it's outside, not the time to talk about business.

So Shang Xingye let Li Zhizhi hold hands and went upstairs.

If it was the past, Shang Xingye would definitely be overjoyed at holding hands with Li Zhizhi, but now...he looked at the flickering, half-broken corridor lights, how could he care about the romance and lingering warmth.

Shang Xingye couldn't help but clenched Li Zhizhi's hand. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, no matter what happened to Li Zhizhi, he would help him.

The two entered the house. The house was about 80 square meters, with two rooms and one bathroom. The master bedroom was not as big as the bathroom in Li Zhizhi's room before.Because the kitchen is relatively small, the refrigerator is placed in the living room.

Li Zhizhi opened the refrigerator and said, "Have you eaten on the plane? I bought some fresh ingredients for home. You can eat whatever you want by yourself..."

Before he finished speaking, Shang Xingye hugged his waist tightly. It was a thrilling and gentle force, which made Li Zhizhi relax his body involuntarily, and leaned softly in Shang Xingye's arms.

Shang Xingye rested his chin on his shoulder, and gently rubbed his cheek against Li Zhizhi's. The two of them rubbed each other affectionately like small animals.

Li Zhizhi enjoys the intimate interaction with him. Occasionally, Shang Xingye's hair or lips brush the sensitive part of his neck, and his body can't help trembling slightly. He closes his eyes gently, feeling the warmth time.

At this time, Shang Xingye gently held Li Zhizhi's hand, put the vegetables back into the refrigerator, closed the refrigerator door again, then raised his hand, kissed the back of his hand, and said, "Did you encounter any difficulties?" gone?"

He doesn't want to eat now, he just wants to have a good chat with Li Zhizhi.

"Huh?" Li Zhizhi opened his eyes, his eyes filled with confusion.

difficulty?Li Zhizhi thought about it. Recently, the company did encounter a little difficulty in the development of a new product, but this kind of difficulty is very common, and it will be encountered every time a new product is researched, so it is not a big problem.

So Li Zhizhi said: "I encountered a small problem, but I will solve it."

When Shang Xingye heard it, the big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground instead. At least Li Zhizhi didn't hide it from him.

Shang Xingye kissed his finger again, this kiss was full of warmth and comfort without any desire: "What is the difficulty? Can I help?"

Li Zhizhi said frankly, "I can't help you."

Hearing that he refused so quickly, Shang Xingye felt a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "If you don't tell me, how do you know if I can help?"

Li Zhizhi didn't know why Shang Xingye was in such a hurry, and said, "You really can't help, new product research is a matter for experts..."

It turned out to be the case, Shang Xingye thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "I remember you told me before that new product research is expensive?"

Li Zhizhi nodded and said: "Yes, every new product research is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive. In fact, Luheng's investment in this part last year was a loss."

However, when doing new product research, it is easy to lose money in the early stage, but after success, the output can be increased, and if it is a special product, the price can also be increased. In the end, the company will definitely make money, so Lvheng has always been willing to spend money on it. New product research.

Businessmen are profit-seeking. If they really lose a lot, Luheng will not keep throwing money away.

However, what Shang Xingye thought was, so the little president was burned to the point that he ran out of money?So much so that you want to sell your real estate and luxury cars and replace them with ordinary houses and cars?

Shang Xingye held Li Zhizhi's hand tightly and said, "I have money."

Li Zhizhi's brain couldn't turn the corner: "What, what?"

Shang Xingye said seriously: "Really, I have a lot of money, and I can help you."

Of course, Shang Xingye's help is not only about money, but if Li Zhizhi needs it, he can use some family resources, as long as he can help Li Zhizhi.

He is unwilling to use family resources to pave the way for himself, but if it is to help Li Zhizhi, it will be different.

Li Zhizhi stayed for a long time, guessing: "Did you take on a new role, playing the domineering president?"

"..." Shang Xingye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pinched Li Zhizhi's palm and said, "I'm not acting, but I really want to help you. Is there a problem with Luheng's funds?"

Li Zhizhi finally heard something, Shang Xingye seemed to think that he had a financial problem?

"Ah?" Li Zhizhi touched his nose, a little confused and annoyed, "That's not the case."

"Don't lie to me, you even changed the house, and..." And even my brother couldn't find out what the problem was, which means the problem must be serious!But Shang Xingye couldn't say that directly, so he had to change his words, "And even changed the car."

Li Zhizhi: "..."

He changed houses and cars just to become more ordinary, so as not to put so much pressure on Shang Xingye.

Why did Shang Xingye misunderstand that he was going bankrupt?

Li Zhizhi suddenly felt overwhelmed with all his youth and love wasted.

Seeing that Li Zhizhi didn't speak, Shang Xingye supported Li Zhizhi's waist, turned him around, faced him, and said seriously, "Brother Zhizhi, look into my eyes."

"No matter what happens to Luheng in the future, whether you are President Li or not, our relationship will not change."

Li Zhizhi was stunned. During this period of time, Jia Chen has actually been whispering to him. It probably means that small stars like Shang Xingye are now following him to seek money and resources. If he has no money or resources, Shang Xingye will definitely Run faster than anyone else.

But what Shang Xingye said today let Li Zhizhi know that the young man in front of him would not run away, and would always stay by his side, and even... even wanted to help him.

It would be a lie to say I'm not moved...

Li Zhizhi's eye sockets suddenly turned red, and his eyes were sour and swollen, as if a strong emotion was about to come out of his eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Shang Xingye was a little surprised, then kissed the corner of Li Zhizhi's eye, and kissed the tear that just overflowed his eye socket, "There are many ways to solve the problem, don't worry, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome .”

Li Zhizhi raised his eyes and looked at the extremely gentle person in front of him. He murmured, and then he was at a loss and embarrassed and said: "I didn't encounter any difficulties, that... you... can't you see that I am chasing after you?" You?"

Shang Xingye: "???"

Now it was Shang Xingye's turn to be dumbfounded.
