The money owner is probably sick

The next day, when Tan Xiao didn't have any role to play, he cleaned the house, changed into casual clothes and went shopping.

The weather is very good today, and I haven’t been out for a stroll since I’ve been in Hengdian for so long. Tan Xiao was wandering around wearing sunglasses, in a good mood, so he took a lot of photos, and sent one to Du Ningxiu, saying a few words from time to time Sweet talk, to make the man opposite happy.

Du Ningxiu was as busy as a spinning top every day, and Tan Xiao reckoned that the guy didn't have much time to travel, so he thought that when he went to a strange place for filming in the future, he would just take a lot of photos for him to see.

Just strolling around until the evening, Du Ningxiu finally rested for a while, and replied, "It's getting dark, don't you want to go back?"

Tan Xiao happened to wander outside a movie theater, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Ning Xiu, haven't you watched a movie for a long time?"

Du Ningxiu quickly sent a voice, "I don't have time to watch, and I don't know what to watch."

Tan Xiao smiled, raised his phone up, stood in front of a movie poster and made a V sign, took a selfie and sent it over, "Watch this, "Save the Blacklist", starring Xie Yu."

Du Ningxiu replied, "Are you at the cinema?"

"Yeah, I'm free today. I've wanted to watch this movie for a long time. Let's watch it together."

Hearing this, Du Ningxiu said depressedly, "I'm going to fly to Shanghai early tomorrow morning, so I can't accompany you today, um... I can go, but I have to leave immediately."

Tan Xiao smiled and said, "You can watch together without coming over."

Du Ningxiu blinked, not quite understanding, "How can we watch together?"

Tan Xiao switched to the micro-ticket interface, quickly selected the show and seat, then took a screenshot and sent it over, "I'll sit in the middle of the tenth row, and I've reserved a seat for you. Come on, you sit here too."

Looking at the photo, Du Ningxiu's heart skipped a beat, and he understood it all at once, but he was suddenly a little shy.He pursed his mouth and coughed, then turned around, summoned his assistant over with a slumped face, and said, "Book me two movie tickets for "Save the Blacklist", whichever theater you want, and the first screening within an hour." Numbers 23 and 24 in row ten."

The assistant was dazed for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Uh...who are you going to go see with? Do you want me to send a car to pick you up?"

Du Ningxiu raised his eyebrows, and said in a rare light tone, "No, the other seat is vacant, but someone is there to accompany me, you just need to buy a ticket."

The assistant shuddered all over, his eyes widened in horror, and he went to work tremblingly after digesting for a while.

So when the boss arrived at the theater, the assistant followed Du Ningxiu weakly with a glimmer of hope, but the seat next to him was still vacant until Du Ningxiu bought two copies of the explosion. Rice Flower and Coke were placed on the left and right sides very carefully, and then they sat upright in their seats.

The assistant watched his boss squinting his eyes in horror, put his hands on the empty seat next to him in a good mood, his head was still tilted on the back of the chair, and looked like a little bird clinging to... a ghost, scared him out of the shit, and turned around in a hurry Da da da ran away.

Du Ningxiu was completely unaware of the shock of the assistant's deep heart. He touched the soft leaning next to him in a good mood, and typed for Tan Xiao with the other hand, "Is this movie very popular? There are people sitting around me." .”

Tan Xiao, who was sitting in the same seat in the same row thousands of miles away, couldn't help stretching out one hand to rub the back of the chair next to him, and replied with the other, "It's normal for Xie Yu's movie to be full, and it's only been released for ten days. The box office has exceeded 20 billion."

Du Ningxiu let out a sigh, leaned back on the chair next to him, and wrote, "This is the first time I've watched a movie with you."

Tan Xiao smiled, "Me too, this is the first time I watched a movie with an empty chair."

Du Ningxiu narrowed his eyes and smiled, couldn't help but took a photo of the popcorn he bought, sent it over, and said, "I bought it for two."

Tan Xiao replied quickly, and also brought a photo, "What a coincidence, so am I~"

The two of them were giggling in the movie theater thousands of miles away, and when the movie started, they kept throwing barrages at each other. Although the seats next to them were empty, they felt warm and fulfilling throughout the whole process.After the show was over, they were still reluctant to leave, so they took photos with each other to report the current situation, and then reluctantly left with another share of popcorn and Coke.

By the time Tan Xiao arrived at the hotel, it was already after nine o'clock in the evening. He just got out of the elevator and was about to turn a corner. His peripheral vision inadvertently glanced at the other end of the corridor, his brows suddenly clustered, and he quietly hid behind the corner.

There were faint arguing sounds from behind.

"You don't want it? Ha! I've been playing with you for half a month, why are you pretending to be arrogant now?"

"...You let go, I should go back and rest."

"Rest? Can you sleep by yourself? No one can make you feel lonely and cold?"

Tan Xiao frowned suddenly, and heard the voices of Director Qin and Xu Weiran.

"Let me tell you, Mr. He is the biggest investor in "Heroes", and he also bought the copyright. If you take good care of him, isn't the male lead yours? It's just to let you serve a few more people, coyly. What are you doing? You are selling one, but selling a few is also selling, and you can solve it all at once, what a wonderful thing!"

Xu Weiran didn't speak, but Tan Xiao faintly felt that his breathing was heavy, and he said after a while, "I'm not sold to everyone, you let me go, I should go."

"Let's go? Good idea!" Director Qin sneered, "I've let my words out. If you dare to embarrass me, pack up and leave tomorrow! Let me tell you, Zhou Meng has never given up on this role. If you If you dare to be disobedient, I will change people directly! Anyway, I have changed two, and I don’t mind changing another one!"

Xu Weiran's struggling movements paused, and there was no sound for a long time.Director Qin snorted again, seemed to be moving faintly in the darkness, and said with a low smile, "Be obedient, these people in the room are all famous and distinguished people, maybe you behave well, and it is not a problem for you to reach the sky in one step, as long as you are obedient ..."

Tan Xiao frowned tightly, feeling a little irritable in his heart, but he had no position to stop him, and desperately hoped that Xu Weiran would reject it quickly.But there was a long silence behind him, followed by the sound of dragging heavy footsteps, and the click of the rear door lock, and the end of the corridor became deadly silent again.

Tan Xiao stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to walk away or what to do, he knew that he had no position to control, but he couldn't move his feet no matter what, his mind was full of Xu Weiran's countless times in the past half month. Amazing performance.

Such a handsome man...

So hardworking and so talented...

Tan Xiao gritted his teeth and hesitated, his feet nailed in place and unable to leave.He took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little depressed.

He remembered a piece of news that he found casually today.

Xu Weiran's parents are countrymen, out-and-out farmers, he has no background at all, and works hard in this circle purely by himself.As for why he sat on stage back then, of course he couldn't find out, the only thing Tan Xiao could be sure of was that he had indeed exchanged his body for his status and fame today.After all, among the five actors who came to compete for the role, Tan Xiao only knew Xu Weiran. Compared with ordinary actors, Xu Weiran was considered successful.

But even so, there are too many alternatives. Once he desperately wants to grab something, he has to agree to something else...

But it's just for acting, as for paying to this extent?

Tan Xiao vaguely remembered Xu Weiran's performance on the set these days.

He is the only one I have seen so far, looking at the camera and other actors, his eyes are burning with something that can be called a dream.

Perhaps it was more or less for fame or profit, but Tan Xiao felt inexplicably that what Xu Weiran wanted to catch more than those were extremely clean and pure things.

Love so deep, so deep that you can give up all your chips for that thing.

Tan Xiao took a long breath, feeling uncomfortable and didn't know what to do.

He thought that if he was rich and well-connected, he would really want to help such a person. He didn't plan for anything, just wanted to fulfill the little eager dream in his heart.

It's a pity that he is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. He can't do anything except feel sorry for him and feel sorry for him.

Tan Xiao sighed, not wanting to be abused, so he forced himself to turn around, ready to walk to the other room.

But just after taking a few steps, Tan Xiao suddenly heard a loud bang from far behind him. Tan Xiao turned his head abruptly, and heard several bangs at the end of the corridor. It sounded like someone was banging on the door desperately.

That's... just outside where Director Qin and the others were standing just now...

Tan Xiao barely had time to think, turned around and ran over in a hurry. As he approached, he faintly heard depressive roars coming from behind the door, followed by a slamming sound of the door, and then a scream, and the inside was immediately quiet up.

When he finally ran outside the door, there seemed to be several people inside bursting into laughter. Tan Xiao gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he raised his hand and slammed the door hard.

"Boom!!"

That hit was so hard that even the door lock shook.The laughter inside stopped abruptly. Before they could react, Tan Xiao kicked the door hard again, making a loud bang, then held his breath, and roared, "Open the door for me!!"

There was a full five seconds of silence before Director Qin's voice sounded, "What are you doing? Who is sick! I'm sleeping!"

Tan Xiao gritted his teeth, put his hand on the doorknob, and said coldly, "Director Qin, I'm Tan Xiao. I'm here to ask you about tomorrow's scene. If you haven't slept, please come out and give me some advice."

There was a dead silence inside, and it took a long time for Director Qin to say, "This... this...it's too late, or tomorrow..."

Tan Xiao didn't have the patience to argue with him, so he simply broke away and said, "I heard that Xu Weiran is here with you, so I'll take him to my place by the way, and confront him tomorrow, do you think so?"

The inside shut up immediately, Tan Xiao had a fire burning in his chest that made his whole body tremble, he really lost his patience, so he raised his foot and kicked the door again, and said coldly, "If you don't open it, I will open it by myself." Kick it off."

There seemed to be another rustling sound inside, and it took a long time before there was a response, "You...don't go around talking, don't cause trouble for Mr. Du, understand?"

Tan Xiao gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "You open the door, I will take the person away, and I don't know anything else."

After a while, the door lock was finally unlocked, and Director Qin came out in a hurry, holding Xu Weiran who was wrapped in a bathrobe in his arms—the man was just as Tan Xiao thought, and passed out a long time ago.

Xu Weiran was wrapped so tightly that he couldn't see anything, Tan Xiao ground his teeth, didn't say much, took the person over, hugged him in his arms, turned and left.Director Qin behind him didn't dare to call him, and hastily closed the door, probably to appease the beasts inside.

Tan Xiao hurriedly carried him to his room, carefully put him on the bed, then swallowed, and pulled off the nightgown on him after he was mentally prepared.

"..."

It's really... horrible.

Tan Xiao's eyes turned red, and he didn't know if he would get sick if left like this. He had no choice but to carry him into the bathtub again, and carefully washed everything that should be washed and pulled out. His face was flushed and he felt so uncomfortable, it took him a long time to carry him out again, and he applied medicine to some unspeakable wounds.

Fortunately, he himself was often injured in the past, so he knew exactly what medicine to apply, and he was a little relieved when he helped someone to take the infection medicine and antipyretic medicine. .

This is really... so fucked up.

Tan Xiao scolded in his heart for a long time, until Xu Weiran, who was deeply in a coma, finally let out a low "hmm..." before he quickly cheered up and carefully sat down on the side of the bed.

When Xu Weiran opened his eyes, Tan Xiao had to say that he was shocked from head to toe by those slowly opening eyes.

Alas, such a good-looking person...

Xu Weiran stared blankly at him for a long time, as if he suddenly came to his senses, his face paled instantly.Tan Xiao quickly comforted, "That... you, uh... don't be afraid, I sent them away, and you are in my room now."

Xu Weiran was stunned for a long time before moving his body with difficulty, then looked down at his body, and began to be in a daze again.Tan Xiao didn't dare to talk nonsense, waiting for him to calm down slowly.After a while, Xu Weiran turned his head slightly, his eyes were still as indifferent as usual, without a trace of emotion, he just looked at him calmly, "Don't you think I'm disgusting?"

Tan Xiao was taken aback, and pursed his lower lip, not knowing how to answer this question.

There was still no fluctuation in Xu Weiran's eyes. After a long silence, he said, "Thank you, but I still have to go back. Can you help me up?"

Tan Xiao frowned suddenly, and blurted out, "Go back? Are you crazy? Go back and you will be killed by them!"

Xu Weiran shook his head, and struggled to stand up, "If I don't go back, I will be killed by them. Maybe you won't be able to see me tomorrow, and Zhu Youtang will have to change again."

"Change it if you change it!" Tan Xiao clenched his fists, suppressing his anger and said, "There are plenty of good shows, you are so talented and handsome, sooner or later there will be people who don't want to... ..."

Xu Weiran suddenly smiled, a very shallow smile, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, but his eyes were a little empty, "I thought so before, but... really not."

Tan Xiao: "..."

"I'm not young anymore, if I wait any longer, I won't have another chance."

Tan Xiao couldn't help but said, "But there will always be a character that suits you and fits your temperament, there will always be..."

Xu Weiran was silent for a while, and exhaled slowly, "I have, I have, but even if I am suitable for me, obviously I will play the most suitable role, and they also want to get some money from me by the way... There are not many people in the circle who are as low-born as I am, so it’s only one who can bully one,” Xu Weiran said slowly, and then slowly stood up, “Thank you, sincerely, please help me up, I Just now I couldn't bear it and wanted to run, I didn't use my brain, I won't run this time."

"You..." Tan Xiao clenched his teeth, feeling really uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say, "Do you just want to act? Just...can you do something else?"

The light in Xu Weiran's eyes trembled slightly, he lowered his eyes for a while, and said lightly, "I like acting," he pursed his lips, then shook his head, "You don't understand."

It was obviously just a few simple words, but Tan Xiao's heart shivered when he said them. He was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really like this profession?"

Xu Weiran looked up at him and nodded silently.

Tan Xiao actually knew it already.Is there even a question?Obviously, this person's eyes are telling the answer every day...

Xu Weiran didn't say any more, but still wanted to get up, Tan Xiao suddenly pressed his shoulder lightly and said, "Don't go, I'll help you."

Xu Weiran was taken aback and looked up at him.

"I...actually, I was also begging for help, but he should...should help me," Tan Xiao coughed, and said again, "You should have a good rest, if you go there, your body will be useless, don't you want to die? "

Xu Weiran was silent for a while, then asked him, "Are you begging Mr. Du?"

Tan Xiao was inexplicably embarrassed and nodded silently.

Xu Weiran glanced at the seven or eight financial magazines on Tan Xiao's desk, looked at the man on the cover for a while, and suddenly smiled again, "That's great, you guys."

Tan Xiao was taken aback, Xu Weiran withdrew his smile, and his face became calm again, "I will remember your kindness, but forget it, there is no need to make enemies for Mr. Du, I was the one who provoked myself." He pushed away Tan Xiao sat up slowly, "They are a bit too much, but they won't kill me, after all, I'm quite famous."

Tan Xiao still wanted to talk, but Xu Weiran walked down on the bed, moved his body a little, frowned and endured for a while, then nodded to Tan Xiao, "Thank you, I'm leaving."

Tan Xiao still wanted to talk, but Xu Weiran insisted. He hesitated to block the door, but when he was struggling, the phone rang suddenly.Xu Weiran had to stop and looked at him with a complicated expression. Tan Xiao had no time to speak, so he swallowed when he saw the call and picked it up carefully.

“嗯，杜总……”
