How To Say I Love You

Ji Mian was in a meeting when he received Xiao Jiashu's private message. The new trainees were still waiting for him to formulate a development route for them. Lin Leyang came to the company with his sick body and asked to re-sign the contract.That's right, he is going to give up the A-level contract and start with a real rookie. This decision is undoubtedly difficult for him, but it is also necessary.

"Go back and discuss with your agent first, and write a plan for me." Ji Mian said to several newcomers, "Every star is selling character designs these days, but I have to warn you that no matter what character design , You all stick to me before and after, don’t let the character collapse in the end, and destroy yourself. Those who want to be singers should sing well, and those who want to be actors should act well. Don’t set up too perfect image for yourself, that’s Cocoon yourself."

Several people quickly agreed, and then followed the manager out.

Only then did Ji Mian look at Lin Leyang who had been waiting for a long time, "The contract you signed before will expire in four years. Logically speaking, the company cannot change the contract for you."

"President Ji..." Lin Leyang changed his address in time, "I am willing to give up all my rights and interests, just to start from scratch, please give me another chance. I didn't realize until now that with my current strength, even if you take A I can't afford to put the high-level contract in my hands, it's you who have been helping me behind the scenes..."

Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table rang. Ji Mian glanced at it casually, then quickly picked it up and flipped through it, his expression gradually changed from joyful to cautious.He raised his hand to signal Lin Leyang to stop talking, and finally began to reply.

Xiao Jiashu explained the matter of changing the script in detail, and then asked the confusion in his heart: [...Mr. Li, as an actor, I should have followed the film contract and finished the trick, but I am really confused now, I don’t know My insistence has no meaning. 】

Ji Mian: [Let me ask you, after accepting this drama, have you ever regretted it? 】

Xiao Jiashu thought for a while, and said truthfully: [I regret it every day. 】

[Then, after it is filmed, can it meet your expectations? 】

[No, it's too far away. 】

[Where is the difference? ] Ji Mian continued to guide.

[The plot is poor, it has been changed beyond recognition now; the acting skills of the actors are poor, and they are not professional; the director also has problems, unable to integrate the entire crew, and unable to control all the actors, many scenes are due to actors who are unwilling to shoot or cannot memorize large lines. He simply deleted all of them; the use of funds was also unreasonable, most of it was given to the actors, and the rest was used to make props and costumes, but no professional special effects team was hired.You must know that this is a fairy tale drama, at least half of the scenes had to be filmed with special effects, but the director didn't care at all.I can almost imagine how shoddy and perfunctory the series was when it was finished. 】Xiao Jiashu analyzed them one by one.

Ji Mian smiled lightly: [That's right.The plot, actors, director, team, special effects, operation method, these issues you mentioned just now should be the core issues that a crew has to face and solve, and they are the key to making a good TV series.But now you see, all the cores have gone wrong, but the director did nothing but let it go, so what are you still insisting on?The spirit of contract is indeed very important, but as an actor, shouldn't his reputation, his style, his beliefs, and his pursuit be more important? 】

He recalled for a moment, and continued to write: [When I was young, I was tricked into making a shoddy movie because I had just debuted and had no experience.I started to regret it on the first day I joined the group, but because I couldn't pay the liquidated damages, I had to insist on filming.Later, when the movie was released in China, the ratings of various websites almost fell below the bottom line, and it became a black history of my life, and I feel ashamed every time I mention it.Now that I have money, I often think, what if I travel back in time and pay the liquidated damages?I think a good actor should have style on the outside and pursuit on the inside, and don't want to shoot everything.No matter how good your acting skills are, if you take too many bad movies, you will be labeled as a "box office poison", and it will be difficult to stand up again. Losing your style means losing your bones and not being able to stand up.The inner pursuit is an actor's respect and accomplishment for art, his aesthetics, and his consciousness should be closer to artistry, rather than blindly focusing on pay. 】

[Let's not talk about the salary, I just ask you, what can this series bring you after filming?Is it flowers and applause, or an unforgettable stain? 】

Xiao Jiashu stared at the text, and suddenly suddenly realized, 【Teacher, I think this show will definitely be ruined according to the crew's approach.Maybe the audience will like it when it is played, but I really can't agree with it, it doesn't meet my pursuit of performing arts.Teacher, I have thought about it, and I decided not to shoot. 】

Ji Mian replied immediately, 【Then let your agent deal with the termination of the contract, don't be discouraged, just be more careful next time you accept a play. 】

【Okay, thank you teacher. 】Xiao Jiashu typed this line sincerely.

Ji Mian stared at the phone, feeling both satisfied and sour.Has Xiaoshu's most trusted person changed from Ji Mian to Teacher Li?Fortunately, both of them are him...

Lin Leyang waited for a long time, and saw that Ji Mian stopped typing, but kept holding his mobile phone in a daze, so he hesitated, "Mr. Ji, what I just said..."

Ji Mian waved his hand, "Go to the legal department, they will help you deal with the contract. Lin Leyang, if I firmly disagree with you changing the low-level contract, you should know what you will face in the next four years, right?"

"I know." For Lin Leyang, an A-level contract is equivalent to Xuezang. After four years, how can the forgetful audience remember him?Although four years is not a long time, it is the most precious time for a young artist in his early twenties, and it must not be missed.

"So I have done my best to you, we owe nothing to anyone, do you agree?" Ji Mian stared straight at the other party.

Lin Leyang gritted his teeth, "I agree."

"Well, you can go." Ji Mian waved his hand lightly.

Only then did Lin Leyang stagger out of the office, and a thought came to his mind very clearly: everything is over, and the years of being together have been replaced by the next four years.Brother Ji has never owed him anything. He gave him the past, present and future. Thinking about it now, he is indeed too greedy...

-

At the same time, Huang Meixuan, who rushed to the set, was negotiating with the director, "Director Wang, isn't it too rude of you to mess with our little tree like this?"

"We can talk about the script." Wang An said with a smile.

Qiu Du who was sitting on the side spoke unhurriedly, "Is Xiao Jiashu not satisfied with the ending? I'll just change it back."

Huang Meixuan glanced at him, and said with a sneer, "Don't think I don't know what kind of tricks you are playing. You deliberately changed Xiaoshu's ending like that. If he expresses dissatisfaction, you can use this to deal with us, so that Don't we have the illusion that you have made major concessions? Qiu Du, do you think everyone is a fool and can be manipulated by you at will? We don't care whether the ending is changed or not."

She stared at Wang An and said word by word, "I'm not here to discuss the script with you today, but to discuss the termination of the contract. Just call your lawyer."

Director Wang's face immediately changed, "Terminate the contract? Are you making too much of a fuss? Which actor doesn't change the script, you can change it if you are not satisfied, let's discuss it." To be honest, in this crew, he is the most My favorite actor is Xiao Jiashu. He has superb acting skills, gentle temper, politeness, and dedication. As long as he plays a role, he will definitely shoot according to the director's vision until it is perfect. It's nothing to worry about.

He would rather the person who was forced to leave was Qiu Du, and he didn't want Xiao Jiashu to leave the crew.In fact, he also knew that Xiao Jiashu was the only bit of conscience left in the crew, if he was gone, the situation would be completely messed up.So he thought for a while, and threatened, "The filming is already halfway through. If you walk away, the liquidated damages you have to pay are very high."

"Who are you fooling? You can shoot half of the film in less than a month?" Huang Meixuan opened the contract and analyzed it one by one. One is Jiang Bingjie, who expected this to happen. You can see clearly that we have clear regulations on Xiaoshu’s rights and obligations when signing the contract. First, you can’t cut his scenes; second, you can’t Damage his character image; third, you are not allowed to change the script without authorization, and you must be strictly loyal to the original work. If you make changes on the basis of respecting the original work, you can also notify us in writing... Which of these terms did you achieve? You violated the contract First, we naturally have the right to rescind the contract."

Wang Dao was forced to question him by Huang Meixuan, and he retreated steadily, so he had to find a lawyer to talk to them.

While waiting for the lawyer to arrive on the set, Huang Meixuan pulled Xiaoshu aside and asked, "You really decided not to shoot? In fact, as long as you want, we can change the script back, but if you break the contract midway, there may be people Bad rumors about you are spreading and affecting your reputation."

Xiao Jiashu shook his head, "Sister Meixuan, it's not a matter of changing the script, it's that these people never thought about filming well. I've been here for almost a month, and I've only met Jiang Bingjie twice, and Qiu Du's stand-in is seven or eight times. One, he kept adding and changing plays for himself. The second female lead couldn't recite a long line, so she crossed out the original line, summed up a few sentences, and said it casually, and the director let it go. There is a female supporting role who is even more amazing, she directly uses numbers instead of lines, and I have to pick up her words at the right time, I almost lost my mind, you know? In this crew, my biggest achievement is learning to play a one-man show, perfunctory is The normality, hard work has become an anomaly, which really subverted my three views."

He wiped his face and said decadently, "Sister Meixuan, I really don't plan to take any more pictures."

"Okay, okay," Huang Meixuan rubbed his head, and comforted him, "We won't shoot if you don't want to."

While the two were talking, the lawyer came. After several rounds of negotiations, he was finally defeated by the experienced Huang Meixuan. As a result, Xiao Jiashu didn't need to pay a penny, and left the film crew easily.But three days later, a blurry video appeared on the Internet. A slightly famous actress grabbed Xiao Jiashu and asked him why he broke the contract, and he said coldly, "Such a script can't be shot at all, so I won't make it. "

At the top of the video was an explanation from the actress, saying that Xiao Jiashu was dissatisfied with too few scenes and wanted to change the script, but was rejected by the director, so he threatened to stop acting. Unexpectedly, the director did not get used to him at all, and immediately contacted him He terminated the contract, and at the end he lamented that the rich second generation had a bad temper, was difficult to serve, and often played big names in the crew.

What she said were all completely groundless things, except for the video that was cut beyond recognition, there was no real hammer, but after the news of Xiao Jiashu breaking the contract and leaving the crew was released by the "Legend of Double Dragon" official Weibo, netizens who believed There are more and more.

All of a sudden, Xiao Jiashu was pushed to the cusp of the storm, and fans of the original book jumped out to scold him one after another, telling him to write a book by himself, and not to waste the fruits of other people's labor.Some people are glad that he walked well, otherwise this series would never be watchable.Xiao Jiashu's fans naturally counterattacked, but after all, they were not as powerful as the fans of the original book, and they quickly retreated.

Although some people appreciate Xiao Jiashu's appearance and think that his appearance is completely in line with the setting of Li Yuanhao in the original work, but if he can't respect the author and screenwriter of the original work, it would be a good thing to leave.In the entertainment circle, there are many beautiful people, and no one is irreplaceable. If there are few scenes, the script will be changed, and if the script is not allowed to be changed, the contract will be broken. Isn’t this a drama bully?

Xiao Jiashu's original good reputation collapsed after this incident, but no one from the production team stood up to clarify for him.Perhaps this incident was originally planned by them, otherwise they would not have released rumors first, and then used official information to confirm it. This is obviously a planned and premeditated behavior.

Xiao Jiashu finally realized what it means to turn black and white and fight back.His eyes were red with anger, and he immediately took out his mobile phone and edited a paragraph, revealing all the strange things he encountered in the crew. Although he didn't name the names, if he read the details carefully, netizens could easily be seated.

As soon as the Weibo was posted, the fans of Jiang Bingjie, Qiu Du and others exploded. They quickly joined the ranks of fans of the original book, verbally criticized Xiao Jiashu, and threatened to get him out of the entertainment industry.

This is not the first time Xiao Jiashu has faced this kind of online crusade, but last time he could produce a lot of evidence, this time, he has nothing to prove himself.He stared at Weibo, which had been captured by vicious comments from netizens, feeling confused and struggling in his heart.

He just wants to make a good film, why is it so difficult?

Just when he was about to shake his faith, the Weibo post that caused an uproar was deleted. Netizens were immediately overjoyed, saying that Xiao Jiashu had confessed, and was scolded so badly that he didn't dare to show his head. He deserved it, get out, etc. Wait.

He clearly said the truth, but driven by the trolls and black fans, no one is willing to believe him, and even doubts his character, and his behavior of deleting Weibo is his guilty conscience irrefutable evidence.

Xiao Jiashu immediately called Huang Meixuan and asked, "Sister Meixuan, did you delete my Weibo, why?"

"Where are you, Xiaoshu? Calm down, we'll talk again when we get back to the company. Don't say anything in front of the media in the near future, and leave the matter to us, okay?"

"Does your so-called treatment mean keeping me silent?" Xiao Jiashu parked the car on the side of the road and asked with red eyes.

"We're just keeping silent for the time being. Xiaoshu, you are too impulsive. You should change your temperament. Perfectionists can't survive in this circle. When the time is right, you must make a compromise."

Xiao Jiashu shook his head slowly, "Sister Meixuan, I won't compromise!" Then he hung up the phone.When he was about to drive away, a tall man came over and knocked on the window of his car, and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoshu, open the door, let's have a good talk."

Xiao Jiashu was surprised, "Brother Ji? How did you find me?"

"Sister Xue located your phone in order to prevent you from having an accident." After receiving the news, Ji Mian took the initiative to find someone.

Xiao Jiashu stared at the phone with a struggling expression.He really wanted to have an accident, and wanted to ask his mother why she interfered with his freedom, but he also knew that her mother was too worried about the recurrence of the past to do so.Her love for him is far above all else.

In the end, he put away the phone properly, and said dejectedly, "Brother Ji, do you also think I did something wrong?"

Ji Mian propped his hands on the car window, and said earnestly, "Xiaoshu, the power of one person is too small, so you can't change the world, you can only change yourself..."

Unexpectedly, this sentence blew up Xiao Jiashu, who was on the verge of collapse.He suddenly raised his head and said word by word, "Brother Ji, I will never change, maybe I am too impulsive, too self-willed, too pursuit of perfection, which hinders the interests of some people, but at least I am worthy of myself and my fans I'm sorry for the audience. Jiang Bingjie and Qiu Du have fooled their work, and their fans are willing to pay for them and accept this imperfection, but my fans are not. Since they like me and support me so much, I will Be responsible to them. My work may not be the best, but I will do my best to do it well. I don’t want to let them down, and I don’t want them to spend so much likes, only to get a defective product .”

While closing the car window, he said slowly, "It's touching that fans are willing to pay for idols, but when I accept their contributions, shouldn't I try my best to repay them? I'm not God, so I can harvest fans as a matter of course." I’m just an ordinary person, I’ll be terrified, I’ll be flattered, I’ll always respect my works, fans and audience, isn’t this the most basic professional ethics of an actor? Brother Ji, I’m doing the right thing , my beliefs and pursuits will never change."

He took a deep look at Ji Mian, and then accelerated to leave here.He finally figured out why Ji Ge would choose to quit in the most prosperous period, why he would gradually move from the front stage to the backstage, because he couldn't change the world, so he gradually compromised in reality.

His choice may be right, but Xiao Jiashu still feels very disappointed.He originally thought that Brother Ji was the only one who could understand him, but it wasn't like that...

The moment he drove away, Ji Mian finally heard his strong voice, and he said silently in his heart: Brother Ji, I am very disappointed in you.

Ji Mian was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and only after the car had driven far away did he try to catch up, shouting loudly, "Xiao Jiashu, come back to me, stop..." But the car had already driven far away, and soon the taillights were on. Also out of sight.

Ji Mian untied his tie, ruffled his hair, full of indescribable anxiety.He never knew that the destructive power of saying "I'm disappointed in you" is no less than "I hate you".Why would he ask Xiaoshu to exchange his innocent heart for the filth of the world?How could he be willing?

He just wanted to tell him: Maybe you should change the way you handle things, don't always say things that are easy to be misinterpreted, and don't always be negligent to people.You can be naive and willful, but you can't let others perceive your naivety and willfulness, because these character weaknesses will just become the means by which they attack you.

But it was too late for all his advice and comfort, and Xiao Jiashu stopped him.He could imagine that his image in Xiao Jiashu's heart would definitely be subverted. He used to admire him so much, but now he is so disappointed.But damn it, the thing he can't stand the most is his disappointment!

Ji Mian would rather Xiao Jiashu ignore him for the rest of his life than become the imperfection in his heart.He took out his mobile phone and made a call to Xue Miao and Uncle Xiu respectively, then returned to the car, and slammed the steering wheel twice.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Fang Kun gloated and said, "Why, Xiao Jiashu doesn't even want to listen to your words? Have you broken up with him recently?"

Ji Mian sighed exhaustedly, "I'm not sure what my feelings for him are, and what to do with him. We've never been together, where did the breakup come from?"

"Are you not sure about your feelings for him?" Fang Kun was about to die of laughter, and spread his palms, "Give me your phone and unlock it."

Ji Mian didn't know why, but he did as he was upset.

Fang Kun opened his photo album and sneered, "Look, there are more than 200 photos in total, at least 190 of them belong to Xiao Jiashu." Then he clicked on WeChat, "Xiao Shumiao's chat page was put on the top by you, he said a word Didn't reply to you, but you can send him dozens of messages every day, where do you have the patience?" At the end, he opened Moments and Weibo, "Look, since you met him, you have to send him a message every few days. Regarding his news, you still said that you are not sure about your feelings for him? If you, Ji Mian, didn't love someone so much that you were dying, would you do these things that you thought were the most boring? Have you ever done this to Lin Leyang? "

"I won't talk about these things," Fang Kun continued, "whose are the two photo albums that you treasured on the top shelf of the bookshelf? The cover of the Zen Hotel's customized magazine stacked on your coffee table is printed with who and whose Group photo? You flip through it many times a day, right? The top page of the impurity book is curled up, you think I can’t see it? Not to mention the emoticons and edited videos you store in your computer. Look at you Recently sent me a message," he took out his phone and opened WeChat, "let me count for you, how many Xiao Jiashu's emoticons you used, one, two, three, four... all of them are in your life He, nine out of ten sentences are related to him; he is by your side, you smile like a sunflower; What exactly is the feeling?"

Ji Mian was stunned, and after about half a minute, he said hoarsely, "But I have a secret in my heart that I can't tell him, it's very unfair to him."

"Then never let him know that you have a secret, just do your best to treat him well. Everyone has secrets, it's normal." Fang Kun asked inadvertently, and sighed, "Love is love, what are you afraid of? ? When you lose him, you will know what regret is."

This sentence made Ji Mian's heart tremble violently, and immediately started the car to catch up.In fact, he regretted it a long time ago, but he didn't dare to admit it.
