double promise

In the early years, many famous Hong Kong stars used pornographic movies to reach the sky in one step. Now, under the impact of the industrial tide in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, the third-level movies in Hong Kong Island are declining day by day. And production, there is not even a decent studio, so we can only hide in the abandoned underground theater, relying on the bold appearance of the flesh to attract people's attention.

The stage was shrouded in deliberately dim and ambiguous lights, the music was melodious and provocative, and the lower part was made into a deck style, with more than a dozen ghosts and snakes with heavy makeup entrenched in it, staring straight at the half-stripped man on the stage.

The white shirt was flung off the stage earlier, revealing a lean and slender upper body. The abdominal muscles specially emphasized by the makeup artist were clearly visible. Two mermaid lines extended to the imaginative lower abdomen, submerged in the black suit pants.

The music beats rapidly, Xie Guan reached out to undo the belt buckle, without taking it off, the silky trousers naturally slipped down along the two straight legs.Xie Guan raised his foot and kicked off his pants, retreated to the middle of the backup dancers, and surrounded by a group of naked men, he made a blood-thirsty gesture.

Just before Huo Mingjun was about to be stunned by the impactful scene in front of him, the director finally shouted: "Cut! Thank you Guan, the expression is wrong!"

The music paused, and the director, wearing a T-shirt and sandals, jumped onto the stage, stood under the lights, and began to talk about the play.The group performers hired at a cheap price were shirtless indifferently, and smiled and tied their hands to watch the fun. Xie Guan didn't have an assistant or a manager. In such an occasion, he didn't even have a blanket to cover him, so he could only turn his body sideways as much as possible. Standing almost naked under the eyes of everyone, let those naked or playful eyes scrutinize unscrupulously.

Mr. Liang opened his mouth, not understanding why the painting style suddenly changed to anti-pornography and anti-illegal: "This is...?"

Before he could express his doubts, Huo Mingjun suddenly walked towards the stage.

And because he has such an aura of "dominant president" that he is so strong, and there are two bodyguards behind him who can fight at first glance, none of the staff in the audience dared to reach out to stop him, so they just watched him on the stage like no one else He came to the director and Xie Guan with his back to the audience.

With a warm suit jacket under his head, the man took a step forward, quietly blocking the gaze from the audience.

Xie Guan was stunned: "You... Mr. Huo?!"

Huo Mingjun ignored him, and said to the stunned director, "He can't shoot this scene."

The director was anxious, and he opened his mouth with a string of vernacular words: "Who are you, why should you help him in the fight? Whoever allows you to come in, get out!"

Huo Mingjun couldn't understand Cantonese, so he turned around and said, "Young Master Liang."

Liang Chen had only known him for less than a day, and he was already obedient to Huo Mingjun.Hearing this, he immediately squeezed out from behind: "Mr. Huo, you and this..." He barely swallowed the word "Bad boy" that jumped to his lips, and changed his polite address: "Do you know this gentleman? "

Huo Mingjun nodded, and said: "Tell him, I will take this person away, delete all the images of him, buy the negatives, and don't keep the negatives. In addition, no matter what movie you make in the future, don't come to him again .”

"Don't worry." Liang Chen guessed that Huo Mingjun probably had some shameful "friendship" with this little star, and agreed very happily.He is still very reliable in terms of strong buying and strong selling, so he negotiated with the director team on his own.From the corner of his eyes, Huo Mingjun caught a glimpse of Xie Guan who was standing aside with a befuddled head, and when he saw his face, he became angry: "What are you doing here? Go change your clothes."

His tone was really not kind, and Xie Guan's trance was suddenly broken, and the vague gratitude that rose in his heart suddenly turned into panic, which was even more embarrassing than being watched: "Mr. Huo, thank you for your kindness, but... sorry, I can't go. Don't meddle, I'll settle this matter myself..."

"Put on your clothes and talk to me again," Huo Mingjun gave him a cold look, "Go quickly, don't make me say it a third time."

They could not be called friendly the first two times they met, Xie Guan had never seen him have a pleasant expression.And for no reason, he was a little afraid of Huo Mingjun, and instinctively wanted to run away from him.At this moment Huo Mingjun spoke, even though he wanted to argue, he didn't dare to speak at all, so he had to walk backstage quickly.

When he quickly changed his clothes and came out, Liang Chen had reached an agreement with the director.Huo Mingjun left an assistant to handle the follow-up matters for him, and without asking Xie Guan's opinion, he directly ordered the bodyguards: "Send him back to the hotel, don't let him run around."

"Mr. Huo!" Xie Guan hurriedly stopped, but Huo Mingjun was used to saying the same thing, this time he didn't even give him a look, and left the underground theater directly with Liang Chen.

To show their sincerity, Longfeng Group specially prepared the presidential suite of APG Hotel for Huo Mingjun.The room occupies half a floor, and the decoration is as luxurious as possible. The view from the super high-rise is excellent. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the bay under the night.

However, no matter how beautiful it is, it is also a golden birdcage.

The bodyguard in charge of escorting Xie Guan pushed him into the room, then dutifully guarded the door without saying a word.Xie Guan was wearing gray trousers and a white T-shirt bought for tens of dollars, standing in the living room, feeling like an untimely oversized dust.

He never thought that he would get involved with Huo Mingjun again and again, Xie Guan lacked everything except self-knowledge.With an identity like Huo Mingjun's, he wouldn't think highly of a little transparency rolling in the mud, and he could distinguish Huo Mingjun's eyes - what he saw through Xie Guan was another person.

That's all for work, Xie Guan doesn't have the hobby of being a stand-in for others in his life.

He occupied a corner of the sofa, and carefully minimized his occupied area, as if he would have less relationship with Huo Mingjun.The bodyguard was only in charge of guarding, and he couldn't think of entertaining him. He also tried not to cause trouble to the "guards", quietly watching the night scene outside the window, as if it was a rare sight.

Half an hour later, as soon as Huo Mingjun came back, he saw this live version of "illegal detention".

"Is this meditation, or did you come to my place for a sit-in demonstration?" Huo Mingjun came to Xie Guan, as if he couldn't speak well without ridiculing, and his heart became angry for no reason, "Seeing that you are so bitter and hateful, if you want Stop going on a hunger strike and pulling a banner?"

Any normal person who is inexplicably taken away and left to hang out like a prisoner for half an hour, suddenly responds to such a taunt and doesn't beat him up is considered gentle.No matter how good-tempered and gentle Xie Guan is, it must be because he is willing to put up with it: "I dare not. If you can stay away from me, I will show you alive and kicking right away."

Huo Mingjun sat down on the sofa opposite him, pulled off his tie and threw it aside, and said coolly, "I'm not very capable, but my temper is not small. Keep jumping around, maybe you will be a rising star in a few years." .When the time comes, you don’t need to speak, and no one is willing to come to your side.”

"Mr. Huo," Xie Guan stood up abruptly, and said in a cold voice, suppressing his anger, "Enough is enough."

Huo Mingjun crossed his legs indifferently, and asked, "Why, you are not willing to listen? Did I say you wrong?"

Xie Guan was choked to death by his words.

Huo Mingjun sarcastically mercilessly said: "Terminate the contract with the company, play missing without saying a word, and go to Hong Kong Island to shoot this kind of film...how can you be so capable? Before you become popular, you take the initiative to jump into the quagmire, The Chinese entertainment industry is too small to hold you?"

Xie Guan: "Things are not what you think... No, this is my own business, I don't need you..."

"Yes, you have difficulties. You are afraid of being retaliated by someone surnamed Zhang, and you are afraid of losing your job, but do you know what "people's words are terrible"? Don't say that there are few people who will succeed in this road. Even if you become famous in the future, the outside world I think your evaluation will be no better than that of 'King of Three-tier Movies'," Huo Mingjun stared at his eyes that couldn't help but asked calmly and cruelly, "Xie Guan, do you think the clothes you took off today are Is there any chance to wear it back in the future?"

Xie Guan's mind was shocked, and he tried to defend himself: "I didn't..."

"'No'?" Huo Mingjun almost made him laugh angrily, "Who put a knife on your neck and forced you to abandon your family and work and hide here to shoot third-level movies? Or who pointed a gun at you The head forces you to play Evaporation without saying a word, huh?!"

"You can't suffer a little bit, you can't stand a little grievance, and you have to die when you encounter something. Do you really think that you are a three-year-old child, and you have to be helped by others when you fall?"

The raging rage went straight to the temple, Xie Guan squeezed his fingers "cracking", couldn't help but want to punch this bastard who was standing and talking without back pain, and then slammed the words "you know what a fart" loudly on his face .

Huo Mingjun's words were too direct and too sharp.He unceremoniously cut off Xie Guan's self-deceiving disguise, revealing the embarrassment he tried his best to cover up and the embarrassment that he had nowhere to hide.For a grown man, this is tantamount to discrediting and trampling his self-esteem on the soles of his feet.

Xie Guan gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know anything at all."

Huo Mingjun remained silent.

When these words landed, a small voice suddenly said in his heart: "But what he said is the truth."

All excuses are worse than seeing is believing, but the fact is: no matter what the reasons are behind it, it is indeed the path he chose.

The beating heartbeat and blood cooled down together, and he was suddenly awakened by the cold water, and finally saw how futile his struggle was.

Xie Guan is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, so he came back to his senses. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately grasped the hidden hatred hidden in Huo Mingjun's words.Strange to say, he has suffered a lot, and he has been struggling all the way until now, but his heart seems to be unconscious, and he doesn't feel much pain.Until Huo Mingjun's light words were like needles pricking through the old calluses honed by the impermanence of the world, and pierced straight into the undestroyed pride.

A strange and scorching pain swept through his body in just a few breaths, and his vision suddenly blurred.

Xie Guan took a half step back in a daze, his knees bent on the edge of the sofa, his knee joints seemed to be broken, and he sat down straight.

Huo Mingjun didn't rush him, but just sat there quietly, waiting for what he had to say next.

"It's true... I had a falling out with the company some time ago, and I went out to find a movie to shoot, and no crew was willing to take me. So when I received an email from the assistant director, I left with the mentality of running away."

He stared at the patterns on the floor stalls for a while, his voice was hoarse, his back was straightened as if he was competing with someone, the tighter he was, the more bleak he looked.

"I didn't know until I arrived on Hong Kong Island that they were looking for me to make a third-class film. I rejected it at first, but within two days, the hotel where I was staying was stolen, and my belongings, mobile phone, and ID were all stolen. Go to the police I reported the case to the bureau, but they asked me to go back and wait for help, but I couldn’t understand the words here. I had no money around me, and I couldn’t contact anyone. When I had nowhere to go, the director came to my door again, and I agreed to him. "

He never questioned Huo Mingjun "what would you do if you were in this situation", but just quietly listened to his reprimand, explained without pain, and pretended that he still had room to "correct if he knew his mistakes", Can look a little less embarrassed.

"Mr. Huo is right. In the final analysis, I am too cowardly." Xie Guan took a deep breath, stood up with his head down, calmed down his emotions, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sorry, I lost my composure. Anyway, thank you for your help today .If Mr. Huo has nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

"Where else do you want to go?" Huo Mingjun asked with a frown, "I just told the director that you won't go back to filming for nothing?"

"Not going back to the set," Xie Guan turned and walked towards the door, and said wearily, "Don't worry about it anymore."

Then he was blocked in front of the room by bodyguards.

Xie Guan: "..."

He couldn't bear it anymore and turned his head: "Huo Xian..."

Half of the voice suddenly disappeared in his throat.

Huo Mingjun came behind him at some point, and lowered his head slightly in order to meet his gaze, the expression on his face was still not obvious, but his eyes shining in the light revealed a bit of inexplicable softness.

Xie Guan seemed to be seeing him for the first time, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: Huo Mingjun's face was not cold at all, it was just awe-inspiring, and he looked pretty when he stretched his eyebrows.

Not only is it good-looking, it is simply beautiful.

"I was out of breath, so I couldn't help scolding you." He raised his hand and stroked Xie Guan's eyes lightly, bringing out a very thin water mark, "I know you are wronged, but don't do this again in the future." It's something to worry about."

Xie Guan didn't seem to react, and stared at him blankly.

Huo Mingjun got angry with him, then calmed down, met his red eye sockets, his heartache overwhelmed by anger popped up, and immediately grew against the wind.He pulled Xie Guan back to the sofa in the living room, opened his tightly clenched fingers one by one, his palms were covered with cold sweat, his fingertips were cold, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful: "Come here, sit down first."

Xie Guan woke up suddenly, and hurriedly said: "Wait..."

Huo Mingjun sat him down on the sofa, and sighed in compromise: "Some words were too harsh just now, do you need me to apologize to you?"

"No, no need," Xie Guan quickly shook his head, "It's fine."

"Then don't cry, okay?"

"Huh?" Xie Guan blinked blankly, the tears in his eyes slipped down the corners of his eyes, he was startled, turned his back and wiped them in a hurry.

A smile flashed across Huo Mingjun's eyes, and he pulled back two tissues to wipe his tears: "Okay, let's turn this matter over, and I won't mention it in the future."

Just as Xie Guan was about to speak, there was a knock on the door outside.Huo Mingjun signaled him to wait a moment, and after a while, the bodyguard pushed a small hotel dining car into the living room.

Huo Mingjun stuffed him with a cup of hot milk and asked him to hold it to warm his hands: "Stay here tonight, and go back with me in two days. Don't go to those messy crews again."

"……Um."

The bodyguards left the suite after parking the dining car.Like a dream, Xie Guan watched helplessly as the current head of the Huo family laid out seven or eight dishes on the coffee table by himself, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why do you help me?"
