When Careeraholic Meets Workaholic

Diao Dian ran to listen to the corner, and when he came back, he saw Bai Lian standing in the open space in the middle of the office, holding a mobile phone in his hand, walking back and forth, looking down.

"When is this, are you still reading novels?" Diao Dian looked at the text on his phone screen, and said bitterly, "The price is being negotiated over there, you don't want to be the hero?"

Bai Lian, who was walking, paused, looked up at Diao Dian, his eyes were heavy and serious, like some kind of existence submerged in water, looking up at the light in the suffocating desperate situation.

Is hope.

is faith.

is the only one in his life.

That gaze was too bright and depressing, Diao Dian was taken aback by the look, and couldn't help but look around suspiciously.

As soon as she regained consciousness, she saw Bai Lian knelt down towards her with a "thump", looking at her with red eyes.

What the hell!

Diao Dian was so frightened that he jumped up suddenly, turned sideways, and ran his hands and feet into the sky, "What are you doing? Don't do this, it's no use begging me, I'm just a small investment..."

"Old patriarch, look at me, can I still go back?" Bai Lian made a hoarse voice, looking at him with sadness on his face, tears quickly pooled in his eyes, "go back healthy, and die here, there is no third party." choice."

"Uh..." Diao Dian came to his senses, blinked and said awkwardly, "Are you playing with me? Wait, wait, old patriarch, right? I, I'll sit down first..."

Bai Lian looked at him, but it wasn't him. The tears welling up in his eyes were about to flow down. Suddenly, he blinked and stood up abruptly.

He said to himself: "No, Xiao Ziqi is not like this, he is too weak."

He just sat on the sofa, and saw Bai Lian standing up again, walking back and forth in front of his eyes with his head lowered and frowning. He changed his posture, thought for a while, took a deep breath, and placed his hands on his wide-open knees. Up, make a majestic gesture.

Yes, that's it, the old patriarch should be so imposing.

Hey, I can also act.

Diao Dian smiled complacently, followed Bai Lian with her eyes, waiting for him to kneel down again.

Come on, I'm ready, hahahaha!

Then Bai Lian, who had eyebrows, suddenly stood still, stared blankly at the bookcase on the wall, then raised his hand, touched his lips, and laughed loudly: "Old patriarch, look at me Can I go back?"

He lowered his head, his body showed a tired posture, shook his body, and continued hoarsely, "Go back healthy, and die here, there is no third choice."

Diao looked around, moved his hands away from his knees embarrassingly, closed his wide open knees, moved his buttocks, and adjusted his stupid sitting posture.

It turns out that I don't have to be a part of the show, hehe...

At this moment, Bai Lian raised his head, and the light shone on his face. The silver film was wrapped around his fair face, and the light jumping in his eyes could be seen from a slightly angled angle, "Yes, I am Longing for applause and lights, I am vain...so I am not even afraid of death, so what else should I be afraid of?"

This is a gesture of life towards death.

Diao Dian doesn't understand acting at all, but he understands it.

The person in front of him died in the mottled shell of the past, but his heart was beating strongly, and he could almost hear the throbbing of the new life when it was born.

"Boom!" The heart beat hard a few times in response to the voice.

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly understood the reason why his friend liked Bai Lian.

A person who works so hard, seeing him is like seeing the light. Human beings yearn for the light naturally, including him.

Diao Dian leaned his back on the sofa, chose to be quiet, and watched Bai Lian who was working hard with his own method as if no one else was around, admiring him.

Unknowingly, as time passed, Bai Lian also found his own "Xiao Ziqi", but he was still unsatisfied, polishing the details over and over again, looking for new breakthroughs over and over again.

At this time, a voice came from the corridor, and Jin Yi's slightly hoarse voice came: "Mr. Hui, see you bye Manager Zhao, call me."

Bai Lian finally stopped, and turned his head to look. The face that was still intoxicated by the character's despair just now had regained its original brilliance, but it also became a little more disturbed.

He licked his lips, turned off the phone, and just stood there, staring at the door that no one had walked in yet.

No matter what, you have to work hard to fight for it once, so you won't regret it.

Finally, the rustling sound of the cloth rubbing against each other moved from far to near, and Bai Lian counted the footsteps until Zhou Yao walked in. The man with his shirt cuffs rolled up to his elbows had a condensed expression, as if he had just returned from a battlefield. Warrior, it's too late to restrain the murderous aura that melts at the touch of a body.But Bai Lian still took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "Boss Bai, audition..."

However, Zhou Yao looked away from his face, frowned and looked at Diao Dian first, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you told anyone about this audition?"

Bai Lian froze for a moment, and most of the accumulated courage dissipated immediately.

Diao Dian heard the words, sat up straight on the sofa, raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I talked with Liu'er a few days ago when I was drinking."

"It's just... the day before the audition, right? Did you tell anyone about these two days?" Zhou Yao repeatedly confirmed.

Diao shook his head: "No, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yao waved his hand to signal him to be calm, put his hips on his hips and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Xiao Liu, come here."

Xiao Liu is a newly recruited secretary in the studio. She just graduated from university. She is not from Jin Yi. ".

Zhou Yao's eyes fell on Xiao Liu, looked around from head to toe, and asked, "Have you told anyone about our company's audition and casting?"

For the same question, compared to the calm answer, Xiao Liu suddenly turned pale with fright, then waved his hands with a stiff face and shook his head: "No, I haven't sent a message to anyone."

The little girl's reaction was too obvious, not to mention that Zhou Yao could see it, even the brows were raised.

Zhou Yao said coldly: "You don't even have the most basic professional ethics, so go to the finance department to settle the bill."

Xiao Liu's face turned red and pale, and finally became angry: "Why do you judge that I said it, you framed me without evidence, and I can't be a man if it spreads?"

Zhou Yao completely turned cold, "Okay, I will call the police, and I will have evidence when the police come to investigate."

Xiao Liu left crying, packing her luggage deliberately loudly, and finally kicked open the glass door. Fortunately, the door was still strong, otherwise the little girl's salary would have to stay here.

Then Zhou Yao called Director Mei again, sat down to sort out the files, turned off the computer, and waited until the work in hand was finished, then he looked at Bai Lian.

"Yesterday I heard that you have read the original novel. Tell me, what kind of person is Xiao Ziqi?"

Bai Lian stood up from the sofa, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said after he was fully prepared, "Pseudo-heroes are selfish, content with the status quo, and always look back, thinking about that little glory Let go, and finally was forced to move forward step by step. In the first half of the story, he was confused and followed the trend, just like most of the people around us. Only in the second half is he willing to take the initiative to take responsibility and possess the soul of God."

"Yes, gods are also afraid of death, and gods also have seven emotions and six desires, not to mention the protagonist created to cater to the market. He is indeed forced by fate to move forward. If he doesn't go, he will die. A selfish and cowardly person. Rat guy."

Zhou Yao thought about it and said: "So I don't want a protagonist who can only be handsome. Although he is really handsome in counterattack and revenge after gaining power, most of the time, he should enjoy this special treatment, flashy, publicity, Even swell, and then face the invincible enemy, cowardly."

Bai Lian said: "So in the screenplay for the main character audition this time, I think there is something wrong with the lines."

"Oh?"

"This sentence..." Bai Lian stood up, picked up the notebook and wanted to walk to Zhou Yao, but finally hesitated, and said from two meters away, "Yes, I am eager for applause and lights, I am vain, so I'm not even afraid of death, so what are I afraid of? It's a mouthful and hypocritical, can it be changed to, I long for applause and lights, I'm vain, so I don't want to die even more?"

Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows and thought for a while: "Read it again and bring your feelings into it."

Bai Lian took a deep breath, substituting his emotions for a while, and his whole breath became silent.

He stood where he was, his hands on both sides of his thighs tightly clenched his fists, his face was humiliated but he had to compromise, seeing his eyes quickly turned red, he looked at Zhou Yao and said, "Yes, I am eager for applause and lights, I am vain."

Speaking of this, he paused, laughed at himself, and said lightly: "So I don't want to die even more..."

The voice fell, and there were echoes.

It was as if a sharp knife had fallen from the void and struck "Xiao Ziqi" in the heart, cutting his dark red heart in half. The blood that flowed out was actually not so clean, it was red, but faintly black. .

This is his answer to the old patriarch, and it is also an analysis of his own heart, which makes him understand that he is just a vanity and selfish ordinary person, a process of self-"proving the way".

Zhou Yao raised his brows slowly and remained silent, thinking about the feasibility of this line.

When he was serious, his face would be tense, his expression serious, and it was difficult for him to restrain the heavy pressure he had accumulated from his previous life.

The whole office seemed to be in a dark quagmire, desperate and suffocating.

"Yao'er." Diao Dian really couldn't see Bai Lian's eagerness, and when the atmosphere was quiet for too long, he shouted, "I think this line is good, concise and sharp."

Zhou Yao came back to his senses, only to realize that he was engrossed in his thoughts. He raised his eyes to look at Bai Lian, and said, "It is written in your information that you were born in a major in the Department of Acting at C University? You should have a good foundation in lines."

Bai Lian nodded.

Zhou Yao said: "Where do you live... Forget it, why don't you come to my house tonight."

Diao, who was about to stand up, almost flinched.

What the hell!

Is it a bad omen?Where is your old G-spot?Brother, I can't understand!
