Drama Guardian

Chen Cai didn't expect Luo Bo to be sick. No one told him about it. When he asked about it now, he found out that he had been sick for a week. At first, he had a fever and a runny nose. Luo Bo took medicine and continued filming until one day When he was waiting for the set, he suddenly fell down, and the crew let him go back to rest for a long time.

Half a day later, someone informed him that since his physical fitness was not good enough, he might as well go home to recuperate for a while, and the crew would find someone else.

Naturally, Luo Bo didn't want to, and felt that he had lost someone to Chen Cai and wasted the company's opportunities, so he didn't dare to tell this side. He only went to the director and the staff to plead for mercy every day. On the day Chen Cai called, The crew has already entrusted someone to look for new candidates.

Luo Bo felt ashamed, and kept saying sorry over there.

Chen Cai was very annoyed when he heard that, annoyed that he didn't tell her earlier, but also felt that this person was too soft-tempered, and he was humbled to everyone, how could others not bully him.He grieved for his misfortune and was angry at him for not arguing, he said harsh words to his lips several times, and also thought that Luo Bo was ill at the moment, and he didn't know the situation, so he had to endure it, and comforted him a few words.

Early the next morning, Chen Cai handed over the work at hand to the two assistants, asking one of them to keep in touch with Xueying and continue to follow up on the gift box, while the other followed Jiang Shuai to prepare for the draft registration and interview recording.On the day of the recording, he will rush back to be with him, but the assistant needs to pay more attention to the preliminary work.Fortunately, the two assistants were very capable, and Lu Jianyuan on Jiang Shuai's side paid extra attention, so even if Chen Cai was delayed for a day or two, nothing would go wrong.

He arranged the work here, put aside the schedule for the next few days, and immediately went to the airport with materials and luggage.

Luo Bo's film crew is located in a remote area. When Chen Cai arrived by plane, it was already 03:30 in the afternoon. He had no time to eat, so he took a taxi to the train station and continued on his way.There was only one five o'clock bus to the county that day, so Chen Caika bought a ticket to go up, and when he sat down, he looked outside, and the sky outside had already darkened.

The train started and went forward with a click, and there was a large section of receding scenery outside. Chen Cai stared out for a while, then closed his eyes and thought about something.

When he woke up suddenly, it was already dark outside.He went down again with the others to change cars, and after sitting for a while, he finally arrived at the place.

Rob is sitting on the boulder outside the hotel.Today the crew just moved to the county seat, and will be filming here for a long time.So everyone is arranging their stuff.But he didn't have any luggage, just a bag, which he came with at the beginning, but now he might leave with it at any time.

Feeling depressed, and it’s not good to always confide in others, Luo Bo really wanted to buy some wine at the moment, drink a few sips to relieve his worries, but he patted his pants pocket and touched the two banknotes, but he couldn’t bear it.After all, there are wives and children at home, so if he saves a little outside, he can have more family members.

The sky was darker, as if the ink could not be melted, it was so thick that it was about to drip.

Luo Bo couldn't help thinking about the future. Chen Cai's tone was already very bad yesterday, obviously very dissatisfied with his performance.Luo Bo also hated himself for not being able to live up to expectations. Anyone who failed again and again would be disappointed. He couldn't help but smiled wryly, and was a little dazed, not knowing how to face his manager after returning.

Just thinking about it in my heart, I suddenly heard someone "hi" in front of me.

Luo Bo was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the source of the sound, and was immediately taken aback.

Chen Cai turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone, looked at him two steps away, first smiled, then frowned and said, "Aren't you sick? Why do you still come out at night?"

Luo Bo was stunned for two seconds, and then quickly jumped off the rock, saying in disbelief, "Why did you come here? You, where did you come from?"

Chen Cai laughed and said, "What do you mean, I jumped out of the rock?"

Luo Bo completely forgot how to deal with the matter now, and only felt happy in his heart.He subconsciously wanted to call "Brother Chen", but felt that the other party was too young for him, so he couldn't say it out loud, so he just scratched his head and smiled innocently, and quickly walked over to take Chen Cai's suitcase.

The hotel didn't have an elevator, so the two of them climbed the stairs all the way to the sixth floor.Chen Cai talked and laughed all the way, until he entered the room to take a look, his eyes turned cold.

The small hotel was only about a dozen square meters in size, and it was supposed to be a small standard room, but now the small table and chairs were moved randomly, and an extra bed was added.

The three beds are almost next to each other, and Rob lives next to the toilet.This guest room is already small, and the toilet doesn't know if someone didn't flush it or because of the weather, the smell is cloudy and pungent.The other two were lying on the bed playing with their mobile phones, and the floor was covered with all kinds of sundries. Robb's bed was also occupied by most of their clothes, and a sock was thrown on the pillow.

At this moment, Luo Bo and Chen Cai came in, but the man squinted from the corner of his eye, but didn't pay attention.

Chen Cai was not used to this kind of stink. Seeing that Luo Bo wanted to greet people politely, she raised her hand to stop her. She simply threw the suitcase on the pair of clothes, patted them vigorously, and casually picked up the next one and rubbed it. wheel base.

The trains and cars on his way back and forth, and the dirt road also walked for a long time, and the suitcase was full of dirt and ash.

Now wipe it, the person next to him immediately became angry, and said angrily: "What the hell are you doing?"

Chen Cai stopped moving, and raised her eyebrows to look at him in surprise, but she didn't respond. Instead, she turned her head and asked Luo Bo: "What did you do, I'm a rag."

Rob said hurriedly, "That's not mine."

The person next to him said angrily: "That's mine!" After speaking, he was about to come over and open Chen Cai's box.

"Your?" Chen Cai stared at the man and said, "Why do you put yours here? The floor in the whole room is not enough for you, right? Or did Teacher Luo arrange the floor in your room? Sleeping in the toilet? Is this arranged by you or by the crew?"

"Is it because the production crew arranged for you to be unreasonable?" The man cursed, "Get out of here!"

After he finished speaking, he wanted to reach out his hand, but Chen Cai snapped the box shut, and simply stepped on it.

The man froze for a moment, and immediately wanted to come over annoyed.

Chen Cai said indifferently: "Want to fight? It's okay, we two will fight with you, you try?"

After he finished talking, he saw the third person in the innermost place also stood up and looked over, and he simply reminded: "Anyway, you think that Luo Bo is going to get out, it's better to get out alone than to get out together, and it's not like he can pull two backs."

The third person's face changed slightly, and he immediately pulled the person in the middle, and advised: "Forget it, don't be like a lunatic, and leave tomorrow."

Those two were acting after all, and they were afraid that they would be disfigured if they really fought, and the gain would not be worth the loss, so they could only stare at Chen Cai and Luo Bo with sullen faces.

Chen Cai didn't intend to let it go, she took her mobile phone and called the life producer of the crew.He did not say that he was Luo Bo's agent this time when he reported his family name, but changed his name, saying that he was from Tianyi Media, and he came to see the situation of the crew.Now that there is a problem in the artist's room, ask him to go up immediately.

When the life producer heard that it was the investor, he was taken aback for a moment, and hurried to catch up. After entering the guest room, he realized in his heart that this was Luo Bo's agent.

Although he didn't take Luo Bo seriously in his heart, he had to pretend at the moment, smoothing things over and saying, "Don't be so fussy, Xiao Chen, they just let him go temporarily, so let's take it down now."

Chen Cai nodded and said, "Okay, let Teacher Luo's assistant come and pick it up."

The life producer was taken aback.That's when I remembered that when Luo Bo first joined the set, he asked the crew to hire an assistant.

This kind of thing naturally fell on his head. Seeing that Luo Bo was honest and dull, he remembered the rumors he had heard before, so he casually reminded a staff member to take care of his feet, and that person would pay attention to him in the first two days. , and gradually no longer care about it.

The money has already been swallowed, so naturally it cannot be said that there is no assistant at this time.

After a while, the staff member answered the phone, Chen Cai put the box away, watched him finish making the bed, and immediately smiled and said, "Brother Luo, you have worked hard to take care of me during this time."

The staff member didn't know how to reply, so he looked at Life Producer, and then at Chen Cai.

However, Chen Cai took out a notebook from the side, and asked while recording: "When did Brother Luo catch a cold? What were the symptoms at first? What medicine did you take?"

The staff didn't know anything about this, and looked at Luo Bo falteringly.

Chen Cai suddenly laughed and said, "Why don't you talk anymore? Do you not know or don't want to talk?"

The staff faltered and said: "No, I'm not sure."

Chen Cai smiled and comforted: "I didn't remember this clearly, so I'm familiar with other jobs, right? What time does Brother Luo put on his makeup? What scenes are he rehearsing these days? Where is his announcement today?"

"I don't know about that either," the staff member said, seeing his menacing approach, and simply avoided, "I'm an art assistant for the crew, not a life assistant. If you want to ask, you should ask Mr. Luo himself."

The producer of life looked a little embarrassed, and wanted to explain a few more words, but Chen Cai glanced at him and turned to go out.

This time he went straight to the director and producer, and the producer happened to be there too, and a group of people chatted together in a two-bedroom apartment.The room was smoggy, and Chen Cai felt angry, but it was not easy to explode. After coming, she still introduced herself politely and explained the purpose of her visit.

"When Luo Bo joined the crew, I personally communicated with the crew, and asked the crew to arrange a full-time life assistant for him. The monthly salary we are willing to pay is 4K," Chen Cai paused, and said solemnly, "I know now The salary of assistants of many senior actor teachers is less than this amount. We are willing to give this salary because Tianyi has always treated its artists as equals. Whether it is Xu Huan or Luo Bo, they are worthy of protection in the eyes of the company An actor teacher. Now that such a mistake has occurred, to be fair, as a staff member of Tianyi, especially Teacher Luo Bo's own manager, I am very dissatisfied."

Chen Cai knew that the crew's life and production had always been fat jobs, so many of them were confidantes of certain characters in the crew.While talking, he observed the direction of that person's eyes, and quickly guessed that it had something to do with the director.

Sure enough, the director spoke first, pretending to reprimand the person, and then arguing with Chen Cai: "We can't blame us for this matter, the crew has no obligation to hire assistants for the actors, this kind of thing is unskilled, and it's okay if it can't be done well." But, why bother to go online.”

Chen Cai said with a smile: "So what the director means is that the staff members don't need to go online if they make mistakes, but Mr. Luo Bo has a cold and is sick, is it ruthless?"

"You can't say that," the director said with a stern face. "As an actor, it is essential to take good care of your body. At the very least, you can't delay the normal shooting of the crew. Now that he is sick, it will waste the time and money of all the staff. "

"But Rob said that he can persevere despite his illness and will not delay the filming."

"If the state is not good, it is a waste of time."

Chen Cai pondered for a moment, then glanced at the other two, and asked, "So the crew means that there must be a replacement?"

The producer said from the side: "Almost. Xiao Chen, please understand."

Chen Cai looked at him, then at the director, and suddenly laughed.

"No, I don't need to understand." Chen Caidao, "We do everything according to the contract. If the crew breaks the contract and loses money according to the contract, we will leave."

He is very careful every time he signs a contract, especially the exemption clause and compensation for breach of contract, which are rarely used in normal times, but once they are involved, they are of great use.

The producer said: "This time the responsibility does not lie with the crew, there are also some problems with the artists."

Once money is involved, the two sides don't even bother to save face in the end.

Chen Cai took a copy of the contract from her carry-on bag, flipped to the penultimate page, put it on the table for the three of them, and tapped vigorously according to one of them.

"Let me reiterate that Mr. Luo Bo's illness from a cold this time is a force majeure factor, and he himself is willing to continue filming despite his illness without affecting the quality. Now the crew means that no matter what Mr. Luo Bo's attitude or health is, he must break the contract. , then we can only act according to the contract. We don’t ask for more or less for the remaining remuneration and compensation.” With a firm attitude, he put down the documents, turned around and left.

Luo Bo was still waiting in the dormitory, and Chen Cai came over and patted him on the shoulder, telling him to pack his luggage.

"Are you going to leave?" Luo Bo had already prepared himself, laughed at himself, and said to Chen Cai, "I've always caused you trouble, and let you run away."

Chen Cai shook her head and smiled, "Why are you going? Let me change the room for you."

The crew booked two adjacent hotels, but they were not fully booked. Chen Cai went downstairs to find a better room at the front desk. At the end of the corridor on the second floor, the windows were quite large, and it was also a decent standard room.

Luo Bo went in with his bag and Chen Cai's suitcase. Chen Cai closed the door and told him to lie down on the bed to rest. He opened the suitcase by himself and took out the suitcase brought by Mrs. Luo.

When Luo Bo saw the bag, his eyes immediately turned red.

Chen Cai originally wanted to say something, but seeing him like this, she sighed in her heart, and said according to his wife's advice: "Sister-in-law said, the family is fine, and the children are obedient, so you can rest assured to film."

Luo Bo has been in the group for many days, thinking about the child, he said "ah" twice, and then carefully pulled out the piece of paper from the middle of the clothes.

Chen Cai looked at it, and there was a family of three drawn by a little girl, standing in the middle holding hands, a small house behind, a fence in front, surrounded by a few small flowers, and a fish lying on the ground.

He saw nothing new in this picture, but Luo Bo pressed the corners of his eyes and explained to Chen Cai with a smile: "My girl likes flowers and plants since she was a child, and she is painting her favorite small yard. I originally wanted to I gave him a field under the window to grow flowers, but the one downstairs didn’t want to, and the flower pots were later stolen.”

Chen Cai patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's not a problem. You can buy it if you save slowly in the future. It's you..." After he finished speaking, he pulled a chair from the side and sat down, asking said, "What's going on this time?"

Luo Bo said: "At first it was just a common cold, and it was almost cured, and then it got worse after a lot of rain." The place before was in the deep mountains and old forests, and there was not even a pharmacy. Thanks to Luo Bo's good health, he brought some Medicine, running and sweating whenever he has time, so he managed to survive.Although it looks like he is still coughing and drowsy, it is actually almost better.

Chen Cai had an idea in mind, and asked him, "Is there no announcement tomorrow?"

Rob shook his head.

Chen Caidao: "I brought the medicine here, you take it first and get a good night's sleep. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow."

Luo Bo saw that although he was young, he was experienced and assertive, and he gradually became more steadfast, as if he had a backbone.Chen Cai boiled water for him, put the pills, and Luo Bo fell asleep after taking it for a while.On the other hand, Chen Cai ran around all day, didn't eat anything, and felt depressed.

Although he said that the crew lost money because of his tough talk, but if there is other room, he still hopes that Luo Bo can continue filming.Otherwise, after repeated blows like this, Luo Bo would never be able to show his head, and he would be useless for a long time.Thinking about how to continue tomorrow, he picked up two small buns from his bag, and slowly tore them open and ate them in the corridor.

Xu Huan just went to the director's side, and while listening to the latter talk about the play, he was asked about Luo Bo and Chen Cai.He was surprised in his heart, these days he has been paying attention to setting the boundaries with Luo Bo, and he shouldn't be asked about these things, and he didn't know it was Chen Cai until later.

Xu Huan knew that Chen Cai was very defensive, so he was not surprised when the director said that the latter asked the crew to pay for it.After all, when he first started running the group, Chen Cai once broke the person's pen on the spot because of the hands and feet of the assistant director who was interviewing.

At that time, while he was moved, he was also a little scared. He felt that this person was a bit like the little white rabbit in "The Secret Life of Pets", with a soft and cute appearance but a wild heart, with a high IQ and a violent maniac.Xu Huan had thought about breaking up a long time ago, and he felt that Chen Cai was not good enough for him.But now that I've been around for a few years, looking back, I can't help but think of Chen Cai's goodness.

At least as an artist, it is really lucky to have a manager like Chen Cai who is always in front of her.

He couldn't help being distracted repeatedly, the director saw that he was not in the mood and was in a bad mood, so he simply asked him to come back earlier.

Who would have thought that as soon as they stepped down the stairs, they would see that person standing at the end of the corridor.

Xu Huan felt that he seemed a little taller and a little thinner. He used to look like a college student who just entered school, with a kind of innocence and simplicity.Looking at it now, it doesn't have that youthful feeling, it looks very cold, and there is an aura that strangers should not enter in every gesture.

He couldn't help but took two steps towards that side, wanting to see more clearly, who would have thought that as soon as he raised his leg, Chen Cai said calmly: "Mr. Xu, let's stop."

Xu Huan was slightly taken aback, and then he came back to his senses and sneered slightly.

He didn't move forward, and Chen Cai didn't look up. She continued to slowly tear open another bag of small bread, and ate it by herself.

In the end, Xu Huan couldn't bear it anymore, and asked a few steps away: "You want the crew to pay liquidated damages?"

Chen Cai didn't answer.

Xu Huan said: "It can be seen that your former benefactor is very interesting to you. You don't need to communicate with the company about this kind of thing? Aren't you afraid that you will be fired too?"

Only then did Chen Cai look up, her expression seemed to be a joke.

"Communication is another matter," he couldn't help laughing, "Why do you think I will be fired?"

Xu Huan said: "On one side is the director and producer, and on the other side is Luo Bo, and the show is invested by the company, what do you think will happen?" After he finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "I know your former sponsor is Boss, but don't forget, the company is not only himself, other shareholders and departments, all aspects, the situation is complicated, the best solution to this kind of thing is what others do, what do you do, bite the hardcore king of breach of contract, behind you Nobody at all."

Chen Cai raised her eyebrows slightly, knowing that what he said made sense in her heart, but she still couldn't help laughing.

He shook his head slightly.

Xu Huan was surprised: "What? You think I'm wrong?"

Chen Caidao: "No, you're right. Compared with the company's management, I'm just a small guy now. If the company doesn't support me in this matter, it will be difficult for me to end. But..." He sighed softly when he said this Taking a deep breath, he looked at Xu Huan and said, "It's impossible for the company not to support me. But you, this smug look is ridiculous."

"I'm smug?" Xu Huan snorted softly.

"You are not only complacent, but you are also small-minded." Chen Cai looked over, shook her head and said, "Robo is in the same company as you, and you two are even brothers in the same school. But since you were assigned to the same crew, you have been wishing Stay away from him. Why? Because you are afraid, you are afraid that he is better than you, and you are also afraid that if there is any problem with him, you will be implicated. "

Chen Cai had heard about it from Yang Xue before she came.The production team treated Xu Huan and Luo Bo very well, so they came to see that this was not the case at all. After thinking about it for a while, they knew that there must be something wrong with Xu Huan.This person did not want to see Luo Bo, and even rejected him, and the others acted on the wind, so it must not be much better.When Yang Xue asked, he fooled around casually, and in the end all the accidents were on Luo Bo himself.

Xu Huan did push out Luo Bo on the set. After all, the latter is really good at acting. Although he is a little older than himself, he can handle many types.If the latter takes the lead this time, in the future, there will be a powerful faction like Luo Bo in the company, and there will be a group of fresh meat like Yu Yiming, how can I grab resources when I am caught in the middle?

He knew that Chen Cai was smart and could guess one or two, so he simply said: "The road is open to the sky, each side should go to the other side, everyone can take care of their own according to their own abilities, it's no problem at all."

"It's no problem, but don't forget, you two are packaged in this time. Your salary is too low, and Mr. Yang can't talk to you, so the company added Luo Bo in. Whether he can leave, it's to you It’s all the same, but far worse for the company.”

Chen Cai paused after finishing speaking, and looked at him mockingly, "That's why you pushed Robo out on the set because you are too poisonous and have no tolerance for others. Now you are talking to the crew again, asking me not to pay the remaining film salary and liquidated damages. You are too stupid and short-sighted. You are stupid and poisonous, you better pray that you will have smooth sailing and never be unlucky, otherwise what you stepped on today will definitely be stepped back one by one in the future."

Xu Huan didn't expect that he was making fun of himself, so he stood here begging for a scolding, and suddenly became angry.

He turned back to his room without saying a word, his face was livid with anger, and it took him a long time to fall asleep.

Who would want to get up to put on makeup the next morning, only to see the crew walking in a hurry, as if something was wrong.Everyone in the dressing room was waiting, and the machines outside were also set up. The producer, director, and producer were not there, and everyone was waiting.

Xu Huan was stunned, grabbed someone over, and asked, "What's the matter? Why didn't you start working?"

The man looked back at him, was slightly surprised at first, and then said: "You don't know?"

Xu Huan was puzzled, "Know what?"

"Your company is angry," the man leaned over and said in a low voice, "It is said that the financial side received the call early in the morning. It was supposed to be the day for appropriation, but the phone call got angry, not only did not appropriate the money, I have to come over to check the account."

Xu Huan: "?!" He knew that their production crew was supposed to pay monthly, and the finances reserved the money for the next month in advance.But because the recent expenditure exceeded the standard, the remaining money of the crew could not last for two days, and they were just waiting for this appropriation.

At this juncture, the funds on the card are still checked...

It could only be because of Chen Cai.

Xu Huan: "..." Could it be that Chen Cai hooked up with the boss again?
