Drunken Master

Zhuang Xiao drove home alone that night.

There is a nice Korean restaurant near where he lives.He glanced at it as he passed by, stopped at the corner, went to the restaurant to pack a takeaway, and bought a double serving of spicy shredded squid.

Pei Yan doesn't like Korean food very much. She doesn't eat ordinary kimchi made from Chinese cabbage. She has a very sharp mouth, but she likes to eat this spicy shredded squid.Fragrant, spicy, and strong taste, it is indeed better than the bagged seafood grilled squid shreds sold in the supermarket.

When ordering takeout, you need to give your name. He always writes the English name "Ben" of his manager Bao Xiaopang.

The restaurant was crowded, and for this takeaway, Zhuang Xiao sat on the bench waiting for a seat at the door for 10 minutes.

I grabbed two Korean food introduction posters from the side, but I didn’t know a single word, so I didn’t use them to read them, but I used them to cover my face.There is a piece of "Samji Soup" on the front and a piece of "Potato Rib Pot" on the side, sitting in the corner.

When it finally arrived, the front desk took the takeaway and called the name, hesitating for a few seconds: "Stupid?...Stupid?...Is the pronunciation stupid...Who is it?"

Zhuang Xiao held up the "Ginseng Chicken Soup" to cover his face, stepped forward under the watchful eyes of everyone, turned around and left with his lunch box without saying a word.Stupid is stupid, don't people in love just write "stupid" on their foreheads...

These are all the English names given to Bao Xiaopang by the group of careless people.Originally it was supposed to be called "baozi", but in English it was written as "Bun". Bao Xiaopang firmly disagreed and thought it was too stupid, so he changed it to "Ben", but the result was not as good as the original one.

His daily life is very simple, and there is no one around him, but now it is Mr. Pei.The so-called Zhuangjiaban is not a contracted company, but a group of brothers who do not have a contract. They usually film in various crews, do martial arts, coaches or stand-ins, and they don't stay together all year round.After returning to Beijing, Zhuang Xiao went to the rehabilitation center of the hospital to visit Letu, who was recovering his muscle response but still in a coma, and stayed with him for two nights. The rest of the time was spent thinking about Mr. Pei.

I didn't make an appointment with the other party at night, but when I saw Pei Yan's favorite food, I wanted to buy some.

This can be regarded as a kind of "companion" with a sense of distance.

The takeaway lunch box was placed on the passenger seat, and Zhuang Xiao turned into the basement of the apartment.

At night, the lights are on, and there are occasional individual vehicles coming and going in and out of the underground garage.This high-end neighborhood is relatively quiet.

Parked the car in his own parking lot.The car next to him parked extremely badly today, and it directly pressed the left line and squeezed into his parking space, forcing him to lean to the left.He reached for the lunch box, and the car next to him was different from the car parked in the past few days in his memory, and it was not the same model color at all.This is a luxury brand RV.

He raised his eyes, and the other party just pressed down on the car window and met his eyes.

The man with a straight haircut and a black windbreaker nodded slightly to him in the car.

The phone also vibrated, and a text message flashed on the phone screen: [Zhuang Xiao, I haven't seen you for a few years. 】

Zhuang Xiao subconsciously turned the key and started the ignition.A car at the other end of the garage suddenly backed up, crossed a lane, and braked suddenly at the rear of his car, creating sharp friction and blocking his car firmly in the parking space.

Zhuang Xiao glanced back, pulled out the key, took out a wrench from under the car seat, held it in his hand, and got out of the car expressionlessly.

The message flashed again: [Just to chat with you. 】

Zhuang Xiao turned around and left with a wrench in his hand, striding along the wall, and then saw another black RV coming in from the entrance of the basement, blocking the direction of the entrance in front of him.

Zhuang Xiao cursed softly and turned around.

The phone flashed again, and the lines were very relaxed: [A Xiao, I am Yanyan's boss, and Yanyan is also mine.I won't do anything to you, you get in the car. 】

……

Zhuang Xiao usually doesn't bring bodyguards with him, and there is no team of managers around him, so he is alone.

The other party got out of the car and tried to disarm him. He stopped by his car and gestured gracefully to come over for a chat.

There was no excessive saber-rattling or mutual choking, no need, both parties got into the car.The quiet carriage seemed a bit stuffy because of the invisible atmosphere.

This is indeed Pei Yan's boss, the boss of their Jiahuang brothers, whose name is Zhang Shaochi.

This President Zhang is not at all the same person as Zhang Huan, the planner in Pei Yan's own work team. He is not related, but they just happen to have the same surname.When Zhang Huan first joined Jiahuang, he might have had the honor of having the same surname as the chairman. Outsiders often thought that the two were related, so Zhang Huan was arrogant, and he was very happy to be "misunderstood". one thing.

Open the car window to breathe, pass cigarettes to each other, and Zhang Shaochi also borrows a fire from Zhuang Xiao.As the boss, I don't carry a lighter with me, I just wait for others to hand me the lighter.

"I only smoke 'social cigarettes' with people I like." Zhang Shaochi said, "Yanyan doesn't smoke, and if he can't smoke with you, then I will smoke one with you!"

There was a faint cold light on his face, and his chin was as clean as his sideburns. This person couldn't tell his age, but he should be around 40 years old.

"Ah Xiao..." Zhang Shaochi said slowly, "I mentioned to you earlier, the movie "Beauty Colleagues", did you take it?"

Zhuang Xiao said, "I don't want to pick it up, it's not suitable."

"Cough—" Zhang Shaochi also smiled, "Is it suitable or not? I'll come and ask you personally, and you will take it."

"Sorry, Mr. Zhang, I really don't want to act." Zhuang Xiao put one hand on the steering wheel and looked ahead.

"Ah Xiao, if you don't film for me, come back?" Zhang Shaochi said.

"I've already filmed. "Dragon Fighting the Sky Pass" I finished filming for you quickly, and it's finished." Zhuang Xiao said.

"Is that so? Cough—I said why you came back suddenly." Zhang Shaochi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is it to pay back my debt?"

"Yes." Zhuang Xiao nodded.I haven't returned to China to film dramas for several years, but I just don't want to face these unclear lawsuits.This is not a debt owed in the legal contract in black and white, it is the filming contract that his father, Jia Huang and another company did not fulfill at the time. Later, he approached him. Is the son more popular and younger? Let the son act.In terms of human relations, this is indeed an old dispute.

"Haha, heck, I thought that because Yan Yanyan let you come back in vain, and he wanted to help you, he insisted on letting you play the role of 'Yun Zhong'. I saw that he cared so much, so I agreed to him." Zhang Shaochi laughed, and threw the takeaway in front of the windshield just now, "Spicy squid sticks, didn't you eat them yourself? That little wild cat This is my favorite!"

Zhuang Xiao's face changed a little, and he looked at the car window on one side.

Some things are really a test of endurance...

It was at this time that the little wild cat in a certain population began to contact Zhuang Xiao on WeChat.

【Your interview is over?where?still outside? 】

【come on. 】

[Then I'll go find you? 】

[When can you get home? 】

Zhuang Xiao quickly replied: [I'm not home yet, I'm busy with something, so don't come here. 】

He said to Zhang Shaochi: "The configuration of "Dragon Fighting Tianguan" is very good. The film should have a good effect when it comes out, and the box office may reach 20 billion. Does Mr. Zhang think it will be successful?"

Zhang Shaochi nodded: "But 20 billion can't be regarded as earned by you alone. This film is our big investment this year, and the initial investment is a lot. The location is not money? Isn't Yan Yan's film salary? Isn't Rong Rong's film salary money? What's more, I don't know if the box office can reach 20 billion, you haven't earned it yet, Ah Xiao."

"Why bother?" Zhuang Xiao lowered his eyelashes, "Urban youth films, entertainment industry characters, a role that does not require technical content, you can play anyone you want to play, there is no need to embarrass me."

Zhang Shaochi stared at him: "But you, Zhuang Xiao, are red now—ah."

Zhuang Xiao: "..."

It won't be just this one, it's a bottomless pit of constant entanglement.After a certain drama became popular, many people suddenly started accepting eye-popping and brain-damaged movies, consuming their enthusiasm and provoking the audience's disgust. There are reasons and difficulties behind it.Who can't tell which films are hard goods and which are parallel imports?

Zhuang Xiao asked: "Have you already considered that you won't let Pei Yan act in this movie with me again?"

"Of course not." Zhang Shaochi made no secret of it, "Yanyan is so obedient, so hard-working, and so easy-going, I still save it for other shots. You also have a choice, our company's Rong Rong or Xu Ran, both children Not bad, they are both popular and well-behaved, would you choose one?"

How can it be?Zhuang Xiao shook his head: "You also won't give me a so-called [-] million salary."

"No." Zhang Shaochi stared at him, "That's the caliber of publicity. I'll offer you 1000 million, and say to the public that your salary is [-] million."

Zhuang Xiao stared at Zhang Shaochi sharply.

He already understood what Jiahuang's boss wanted him to do.

Zhang Shaochi said calmly: "You are not at a disadvantage, the role is very simple and effortless, and the filming was completed in two or three weeks. It is easy to get 1000 million pocket money, help me earn more, and pay back your debt. External film remuneration The price can be regarded as helping you raise your value, everyone can gain from each other through cooperation, and you won't lose. Look, can this work?"

Very good deal.

On the books, he was paid 1000 million yuan, but in reality he was only paid [-] million yuan.Known as a big urban idol romance production, if you go to Europe, North America or Japan to shoot a scene, the cost of the location on the book will cost several hundred million, but it is actually a fake studio scene, and the cost may be only a million.With the help of a shell film and television company, relying on popular stars to build momentum, the publicity is overwhelming, and the audience is tricked into entering the theater. When it is released, it will play tricks such as "ghost field" and "deep coin fare" at midnight. The box office can be done very well, and the production can be smooth Produced billions of box office blockbusters.

With very little cost, this "washes" out billions, and puts a small satellite on the box office list.

Pei Yan couldn't hold back and began to dial the phone.

Zhuang Xiao quickly pressed the phone.

Pei Yan actually dialed again immediately, as if the child was angry, he must let him answer.Mr. Pei has such a temper, and Zhuang Xiao also likes such a straightforward person who doesn't hide it.

But he pressed it again.

When he dialed in for the third time, Zhuang Xiao picked it up and answered, "Hello? Uh... sorry, I'm busy."

"Can you not come here?"

"Can you stop coming? Can you be obedient?!"

Zhuang Xiao raised his voice a little, hung up and turned off the phone directly.

"It's Yanyan?" Zhang Shaochi asked, keeping his eyes on the phone screen.

The name displayed on Zhuang Xiao's phone caller ID is not a name, but "Longan". Zhang Shaochi glanced at it for a long time but couldn't understand it.

It was mentioned as a joke between the two of them, and outsiders would not have thought of what this longan stem was all about.Sometimes when they called each other nicknames in disgust, Zhuang Xiao would call "Long Yuan, come here", and Pei Yan would say "Brother Long" in return.

Zhang Shaochi handed Zhuang Xiao the thick kraft paper bag again, which contained the script, and his eyes signaled: "Think about it yourself, I'll wait for your reply, I still hope you can take it, and cooperate!"

Zhuang Xiao asked the other party politely and frankly: "What will happen if I don't answer? You can just say it."

"Cough——" Zhang Shaochi waved his hand, "I won't do anything to you. I've been here for so many years, so I won't do that kind of thing. I always give money to others, and don't give knives to others! Everyone benefits Why not do what you want, you can figure it out."

The man suddenly smiled, abruptly and exaggeratedly: "Ah Xiao, I also heard about the little brother you are lying on the bed, and it's a pity. A friendly acquaintance introduced by my family. Yanyan is so painful!"

Zhuang Xiao: "..."

Zhang Shaochi smiled and said: "Ah Xiao, if you really don't want to make a film, where did you come from, you can go back to where you are, and don't stay in the mainland. You can't make any films."

The words have been said so clearly.

Everything is done in a polite and calm atmosphere, and you will not turn your face easily.

No matter how big you are in the eyes of the audience, you are no bigger than these people who operate the entire film and television industry in this market.

Mr. Zhang opened the door and got out of the car to leave. His black windbreaker shook by the door, his eyes reflected the molten iron, and his face was cut like a knife.This person was also a tough guy in his early years, with rich experience. After retiring from the army, he started a company to do business. He had a wide network of contacts and made the business big.

Before leaving, Zhang Shaochi put his elbows on the top edge of the car window and said: "I was in the car just now, and I asked my secretary to send your apartment address to the paparazzi of 'Lei Xing', so don't let Yanyan come here again I'm looking for you. It's not easy for a child to be popular, he's sick and bleeding, don't let those people take pictures of him. What do you think, Ah Xiao?"

Zhuang Xiao stared at the other party and nodded: "No, don't worry."

Zhang Shaochi returned to his car, and the driver started the car.

He casually sent another text message to Pei Yan: 【Have you eaten yet?Drive slowly, don't drive too wildly. 】

A line came back in seconds, and Pei Yan said angrily: 【You are my nanny? ! 】

Listening to the voice, Zhang Shaochi frowned and leaned back.How rude to elders, little wildcat...

Zhuang Xiao sat in the car for a while, turned the key to start the ignition, and went out for a drive.At this time, there was another sharp sound of turning and braking in the basement, and the car was on a rampage.Another car went straight to his parking space, and stuffed it directly into the back of his car, blocking it tightly.

Pei Yan hurriedly got out of the car and headed straight for Zhuang Xiao's car. The first thing she looked for was Zhuang Xiao, and the second thing she looked for was whether there was any goblin in the back seat of the car—the expression on her face was that of a real gentleman rushing home to catch a traitor.

There was no one else in Zhuang Xiao's car, and there was no adultery.

With one hand still on the steering wheel, Zhuang Xiao pulled out the key and looked at him, wondering what was going on.

Pei Yan paused, a little embarrassed and aggrieved: "Aren't you busy? Didn't you get home?"

Zhuang Xiao took the takeaway lunch box on the windshield table: "Spicy shredded squid, I bought it for you on the way."

Pei Yan took the lunch box, still upset: "You actually hung up on me...you still turned off the phone...why?"

Zhuang Xiao said: "Many people know that I live here, so don't come here anymore."

Pei Yan said, "I want to see you."

……

I just want to see you.

But if he can't see him one day, it's like hanging Wia on the set during the day and never letting him put it on the ground, he just hangs in the air all the time.

In Liang Youhui's apartment, Mr. Pei's various imprints have been quickly filled in these few days.

In the past, there was only one bedside table next to the bed in the bedroom, which was completely bachelor configuration.

On the way back to Beijing from Inner Mongolia, on the plane, Zhuang Xiao pulled out a bunch of home furnishing websites from the Internet, chose the style of the bedside table, and quietly asked Mr. Pei: "Which style do you like?"

Pei Yan said: "I just like simple styles, which can be decorated with necessary things."

Zhuang Xiao asked: "What do you usually need to pack? How much?"

"What else can I pretend?" Pei Yan said happily, "I am a cultural person? I still hold a book before going to bed and I read the Nobel monograph on mathematics hahaha... We are not that person, the bedside table is not a bookcase, and It’s not a refrigerator, it’s just a small gadget, condoms, scented jelly, and tissue boxes, I just put these, I must use them.”

Zhuang Xiao then placed an order online, and the furniture was delivered directly to his door. In the bedroom, he made a pair of bedside tables and a pair of desk lamps.

Pei Yan went into the room and smelled it: "There is no smell of smoke. You don't smoke at home now?"

Zhuang Xiao said, "Smoking too."

"The toilet pumps?" Pei Yan probed into the bathroom to smell it, "No smell?"

A smile appeared on Zhuang Xiao's face: "Guess?"

Pei Yan looked around, circled around, and finally looked at a round futon mat on the ground in the corner of the balcony: "Oh, poor thing..."

Pei Yan turned around and hugged the person, and rubbed his face against Zhuang Xiao's: "Who said I can't hurt people? So considerate..."

Zhuang Xiao was considerate, so he only smoked on the balcony, but he was afraid of being secretly photographed with a telephoto lens when standing on the balcony, so every time he stooped into the balcony, sat on the floor and smoked in the corner, hugging the left and right Hold a pot of Brazilian iron and a pot of monstera, and it is said that they are all plants that can purify the air.

There is an ashtray hidden behind the monstera with a few cigarette butts in it.

In this way, the room is very clean.

The day before, I spent the night here. After finishing the work, I got out of the bathtub. Afterwards, when Pei Yan woke up in the early morning, he found that he was alone in the bed, and no one hugged him.

"Explosive Chestnut" was about to explode, stretched its neck, looked down, and saw Mr. Zhuang lying under his bed, on the carpet.

Zhuang Xiao rolled up a thin bedding and slept on the carpet.

Pei Yan immediately felt distressed again: "Does your back hurt?"

If he didn't sleep here overnight, Zhuang Xiao would just remove the soft mattress and sleep on a hard board.But when he comes for the night, the mattress is put back on the bed for him to sleep on.

Pei Yan said: "Then I will sleep in the guest room in the future? I can sleep on the sofa."

"How can I let you sleep in the guest room?" Zhuang Xiao said, "If you come in now, you will be treated like the master bedroom. If you let you sleep in the guest room, you won't make trouble with me, won't you explode?"

Pei Yan muttered, "How can I be so ignorant..."

They hugged their waists and kissed quietly.

Pei Yan held Zhuang Xiao's lips and asked softly, "Why don't you see me? Are you willing to see me?"

Zhuang Xiao bit the corner of his mouth with his teeth, kissed his face back, and then kissed the place where his earlobe had been hurt.

Pei Yan couldn't help laughing again, and said, "Don't buy me spicy things all the time, shredded squid, garlic chili sauce, spicy radish sticks, I'm going to give up all the spicy things!"

Zhuang Xiao didn't take it seriously: "It's best if you quit drinking, why don't you quit spicy food?"

Pei Yan kissed the other person's face again, and kissed the dimples: "The spicy chrysanthemum hurts, look at your place, it never hurts."

Zhuang Xiao: "Oh..."

Pei Yan said: "Really, it's not that I'm in pain. If you eat too much spicy food, the spicy oil will flow out. I'm afraid that you will be spicy, and I'm afraid that you will feel uncomfortable and think I'm too spicy!"

Zhuang Xiao couldn't help laughing: "Don't be so ridiculous."

"Do you want to come? Do you want to come..." Pei Yan hugged Zhuang Xiao's waist, smiled, pushed, shoved, and pushed all the way into the bedroom, "Spicy, try it? Or... "

He put one hand in the back pocket of Zhuang Xiao's trousers, the way he likes, he just grabbed the other's strong buttocks, kneaded hard, and kneaded out his desire...

"Aren't you tired? Let's take a break." Zhuang Xiao said, "Don't worry about it, you have to get up early tomorrow to gather, and I will go to the hospital to see, I have other things to do."

Zhuang Xiao pushed away his fumbling hand.

Pei Yan: "..."

She rubbed her hands together, then retracted them silently, Pei Yan stood in the middle of the room, at a loss, in fact panicked.Just now when Zhuang Xiao hung up the phone for no reason, he panicked, and all kinds of thoughts began to circle around him, and he was never sure...

He chased.

He took the initiative to deliver it to the door, as if pouting his ass and begging for fuck.

Two guys, what can you do on a sleepover?

They are all grown-ups, the eldest is not young, should they sit on the bedside and read textbooks to study advanced mathematics and foreign languages?

They are already very familiar with each other, and there are not many new topics to talk about. Meeting is just lingering and making love.

"Which crew are you joining next?" Zhuang Xiao asked suddenly.

"Next week, I will be filming "Dark War III". The police and gangsters will be suspenseful, but I will not leave Beijing. Most of the filming will be in suburban studios and abandoned factories. Later, I will film an ancient costume fantasy TV series, which is also a Hongwen IP. It is very popular. Go to Film and Television Stay in the city for three months." Pei Yan reported frankly.

"Okay." Zhuang Xiao nodded, knowing what to do, and relieved Yanyan.In any case, it will not affect the people around you, nor will it affect Yanyan.

Zhuang Xiao stroked his face, hugged him and said, "I'm tired, I'm really in the mood, I can't do you anymore. Do you want to do it? If you want to do it, you can do it."

It was like exchanging a beautiful and attractive body to comfort him.

Pei Yan: "..."

Does he "want to"?

Zhuang Xiao was really generous, he didn't hesitate at all, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him.Who is going up and who is going down?Do you want to do it, you want to do it so much, you do it.

If he can't see that brother Xiao is in a bad mood tonight, then he will really be a brainless and inconsiderate person.

Pei Yan stepped up, sat on Zhuang Xiao's lap, hugged someone and bit his ear: "Are you so good? I don't even want to love you, and I don't want to give you a virgin. Hehe... Go to the balcony, and I'll smoke a cigarette with you?"

The two looked at each other, their eyes were clear and bottomless, their lips were pressed together, enjoying a moment of tranquility, sucking silently...
