King of Ensemble [Entertainment]

Time flies by.

Many of Wei Yiquan's friends went to celebrate the day "Swamp" was finished, and of course Marco was among them.Wei Yiquan took the opportunity to bring Xu Qing to meet some people. Wei Yiquan's aesthetics has always been very strange, so the people he knows are more or less special, but they are all good people without exception, especially for his own work. Xu Qing was very moved by this almost sacred and pious heart, and learned a lot.

Xu Qing has been with any production crew before, and naturally he has seen too many commercial production crews. As long as the money is enough, they can do things. Most of the films produced are entertainment consumption.

There are too many so-called hot IP adaptations, plagiarized drama adaptations, the crew is not afraid of how noisy the Internet public opinion is, the more noisy the better, it is all free publicity; the actors let the first-line fresh meat top, Fans are willing to pay for all the abnormalities just because of their good looks. Who cares if you plagiarized or not?Who cares if your author can defend your rights?That has nothing to do with the crew or the actors.

The crew can say that they don’t know about it, or even that they only used the original name, and the script has been deleted and revised; it’s more convenient for the actors, as long as they say that they haven’t read the original work, they don’t understand these circles, and they just acted well. It's over.

Is it really over?

While eating and drinking, a director said while eating: "If you want me to say, you should be fined. Even the crew, investors, and actors will be fined together. Do you think they dare to take the show casually?"

"If public opinion can start from resisting actors who copy-copy plays, it doesn't matter whether you are a first-line or eighteenth-tier, as long as you pick up, I will look down on you; if every actor is willing to choose a script, not just for the pay... I'm not saying that commercialization is wrong, I didn't say that, we follow market rules, but don't we at least have a conscience?"

Another young director wore glasses and looked gentle, but his words were sharp: "Uncle Hang, what you say is not comprehensive. How can actors like Xu Qing have the right to choose their own scripts? You didn't listen to the company, so you didn't act if you didn't want to? Isn't this waiting to be hidden by the company?"

"So I said that if you want to be punished, you will be fined." The man called Uncle Hang waved his big hand, very proudly, "Don't our country like to be punished? Then fine, why not punish this matter? Heh, to put it bluntly, it is still fine. no……"

Uncle Hang made a look that everyone understood, and several directors laughed and shook their heads helplessly.

Wei Yiquan took a sip of his wine, picked another dish for Xu Qing, and said, "The seniors are right. If we really want to make those art films according to our own ideas, it's not close to the people and not down-to-earth. No one watches it; commercialization follows the market rules, there is nothing wrong with it, but there must be at least a bottom line of human principles, and those who do not copy will not be mentioned, and the minimum standard must also ensure the overall quality of the film, everyone agrees on this?"

"Hey, I love to hear Director Wei's words. Those people's salaries now... all of them have no acting skills, and they are only praised by fans at that price. What is this called? This is called..."

Before he finished speaking, the crowd outside suddenly became noisy, and several field workers ran over and panicked: "Director, the police are here."

The place where they ate was in the rented villa on the set. There were dining tables in the garden and in the house, and they invited chefs from nearby hotels to cook. The whole room was in a mess, and suddenly they heard the police coming, and they were inexplicable. very.

Several assistant directors had already stepped forward to negotiate, Wei Yiquan stood up with a frown, saw some policemen saying something, looked at him frequently, he put down his chopsticks and said: "You guys are eating, I'll go and see what's going on .”

Uncle Hang is the oldest one here, he waved his hand domineeringly to tell everyone to leave it alone and continue eating.

Xu Qing hesitated for a while and followed. As soon as he approached, he heard a policeman say: "Captain, it's this person."

Both Wei Yiquan and Xu Qing were taken aback for a moment, and saw two of the policemen walk up to Xu Qing, compared them with a photo, and said, "Come and identify, is this you? Show me your ID card." "

Xu Qing was puzzled, and looked down at the photo handed to him—it was his student photo when he was 17 years old.

The eyebrows and eyes have hardly changed, only the temperament on the body is no longer so green and immature, but it can still be recognized at a glance.

Xu Qing took out his ID card, and the police captain glanced at it and said to the people behind him, "It's him."

The captain looked at Xu Qing again, and said without expression: "Mr. Xu, please come back with us."

Wei Yiquan immediately grabbed Xu Qing's wrist, and led him behind him, with a warm smile on his face: "Comrades, what's going on? Can you tell us a little bit first so that we can have a better understanding?" ?”

The captain shook his head: "This involves Xu Qing's personal privacy, it has nothing to do with you, get out of the way."

Wei Yiquan still smiled gently, not at all annoyed: "Look at our production team wrapping up today, it's not a trivial matter to make a movie, Xu Qing is our lead actor, if something happens, what will happen to my movie?"

A brat behind the captain said impatiently: "Then what does it matter to us? Please cooperate and get out of the way."

Wei Yiquan's eyes turned cold, the captain was an old Jiang Hu, and seeing Wei Yiquan like this, he knew he was not a man to be trifled with, he waved his hand, blocked the people behind him, and said with a paralyzed face: "This is our job responsibility. We cannot easily divulge other people's privacy. Please forgive me."

Wei Yiquan wanted to say more, Xu Qing tugged at his sleeve: "It's okay, I'll go and be back soon."

Xu Qing and the captain looked at each other, seemed to have understood something, comforted Wei Yiquan: "Don't worry, it won't affect the movie, I didn't do anything wrong."

Xu Qing smiled as he spoke, Wei Yiquan could only let him go, watching Xu Qing get into the police car with a few policemen, feeling extremely upset.

He was not in the mood to eat anymore. This time, many media outlets received news about how many people were ambushing outside the villa. This matter will definitely be exposed...

His mind was spinning quickly, and he immediately called a few media people he knew. Needless to say, Lin Qi had already contacted the company immediately.

Wei Yiquan took his coat and was about to go out. Marco frowned and ran over: "Are you crazy? You dared to drive after drinking? Afraid that the incident is not big enough, is it?"

Zhang Qiao ran over from the side: "Director Wei, I'm not drinking, I'll drive!"

Wei Yiquan didn't care too much, and immediately stepped aside, Wei Yiquan asked Marco to help watch the dinner, Ren Ran also stepped on his high heels and swayed over, saying: "Don't worry, Marco and I are fine here of."

Wei Yiquan nodded and hurried into the car.

There was only one police station nearby. When they arrived, they realized that they were not in the police station, and they were taken directly to the Municipal Bureau.

Wei Yiquan's face darkened even more, and he wanted to find out what was going on, but the people at the police station didn't know anything.

Not everyone can enter the city bureau. Wei Yiquan asked Zhang Qiao to park the car in the parking lot outside the city bureau. Look at Wei Yiquan standing on the stairs: "Is it Wei Yiquan from Xu Qing's family?"

Zhang Qiao: "..."

Wei Yiquan immediately pinched his cigarette: "It's me."

"Come in." The young policewoman who came out to pick him up was very cute, and she glanced at Zhang Qiao again, "What about you?"

Zhang Qiao: "..." He couldn't be from Brother Xu's family, could he?Will be beaten to death by Wei Dao.

Fortunately, Wei Yiquan turned his head and said, "You were waiting for me outside, thank you."

Zhang Qiao quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, don't worry."

It was very late, and there were still people working overtime in the city bureau. The sound insulation measures between the offices here were very good. Walking in the corridor, you could only hear footsteps, and it was so quiet that it made people panic.

Wei Yiquan was taken up to the third floor, and stopped in front of the door plate with "One Group". The female policeman knocked on the door, and it took a long time before someone came out to answer the door.

Wei Yiquan took a look and found that the office was quite big, and there were a few policemen who had just come to escort people in it, and Xu Qing was sitting on a chair with his back to him.

The person who opened the door was the frizzy guy from before, and he frowned when he saw Wei Yiquan: "Why do you..."

The female police officer glared at him, pushed the man away, and said straight in, "Captain Wang, the man is here."

"Yeah." The captain with facial paralysis held some documents in his hand and said without raising his head, "Come in when you're here."

Xu Qing glanced back, but he didn't expect to see Wei Yiquan's face, and he froze immediately.

Wei Yiquan noticed that Xu Qing suddenly became a little uneasy and cramped. He hadn't seen this kind of expression on Xu Qing for a long time. He frowned and looked at Team Wang questioningly.

Captain Wang said in a business-like manner: "Mr. Wei, first of all, I want to explain that if this is a major case, you will not be allowed in. Please don't misunderstand that we are abusing our power."

Wei Yi was absent-minded, nodded perfunctorily, and walked quickly to Xu Qing's side.

Team Wang continued: "This time we are just having a routine questioning, and we need Mr. Xu to cooperate with us to provide some clues. He has not been in a good mood since he entered the door. I think he may be more relaxed with you here. .This is beneficial to the progress of our case, so you are allowed to come over."

Xu Qing pursed her lips, but her face turned a little paler.

Wei Yiquan frowned and rubbed Xu Qing's head. Wang Duiquan pretended not to see him, turned his gaze back to Xu Qing and said, "Then Mr. Xu, let's continue. You don't want to work overtime with us, do you? I heard that You guys are wrapping up today, although we don't want to be so unreasonable, but the case is urgent, please forgive me."

Although this captain Wang has a paralyzed face and doesn't have any emotional ups and downs when speaking, his words are very polite and will not make people unpleasant.

Xu Qing paused, then raised his hand, pointed at the table in front of him: "I know this person."

Only then did Wei Yiquan notice a few photos on the table in front of him. Xu Qing pointed to a very thin man, about 50 years old, with sunken cheeks, high browbones, and dull eyes. It doesn't look angry.

Sitting next to Xu Qing, Wei Yiquan looked at the photo with some puzzlement, and guessed in his heart: Xu Qing probably knew someone, so he was brought in for identification.

"Are you sure you only know this one?" Dui Wang said, "Where are the others? Do you know anyone else?"

Xu Qing was very stiff, secretly glanced at Wei Yiquan several times, and finally raised his hand helplessly: "I have seen this... and this, but I don't know what it is called."

A policeman next to Team Wang kept taking notes, and said, "This man's name is Daqing, and that fat one's name is Erqing. They are two brothers. They are the ones who provided drugs to your family."

Wei Yiquan was stunned for a moment, his always bright mind suddenly couldn't make a turn.

"Drugs?" He repeated mechanically, "What drugs?"

Xu Qing lowered his head even lower, as if he was the one who did something shameful, he hardly dared to look at Wei Yiquan's expression.

Captain Wang ignored him and continued to ask Xu Qing: "How old were you when you left?"

"... Seventeen, that day is my birthday." Xu Qing only felt that everything he had been trying to cover up was collapsing, and he closed his eyes as if giving up, "I was let out by my sister..."

"Your sister, is this person right?" Dui Wang took out another photo. In the photo is a girl who is also wearing a school uniform. The school uniform and Xu Qing should be from the same school. The girl is very delicate and beautiful, with a smile Very warm and quiet, almost like Xu Qing in women's clothing.

"Xu Ning," Wang Dui said, "I'm a twin with you, born only 2 minutes earlier than you, isn't it?"

Wei Yiquan was shocked again - he had no idea that Xu Qing had a twin sister!

Xu Qing nodded: "Yes."

Wang Dui said: "Did you still keep in touch after that? We haven't found her yet."

Xu Qing: "...Occasionally."

Team Wang looked at him: "Can you tell us her contact information?"

Xu Qing pursed her lips, and said in a trembling voice: "But, can you not look for her? What do you want to ask, just ask me. She knows about the same as I know..."

"It's not the same." Wang Dui shook his head. "According to your mother's confession, after you were secretly released by your sister, your sister lived with them for three years before she found a chance to escape."

Xu Qing squeezed her pants tightly, her whole heart trembling: "But...but..."

"She must know more news than you," Wang Dui said, "I know you don't want us to disturb her life, but if you don't face some things well, you will never get out, right?"

Xu Qing didn't speak for a while, and the young guy next to him said curiously: "Actually, I'm very curious. Your sister is more low-key than you, and she hides very deeply. We can't find any trace of her at all, as if this person no longer exists. It’s the same; you became an actor instead, and you didn’t even change your name, it’s so easy to find you.”

Xu Qing closed his eyes, he could feel Wei Yiquan looking at him all the time, but he didn't dare to open his eyes, afraid of seeing the disbelief and disappointment in the other person's eyes, afraid of seeing his disgust...

Xu Qing could only keep his eyes closed, and whispered, "Because, because I want to make money."

"What?" The young man didn't hear clearly, "What money?"

Xu Qing took a deep breath: "Because I want to make money, I left to make money, and only by making money can I send my parents to a drug rehabilitation center, treat them, prevent people from bullying my sister, and find someone for her." Only by being a good family can we get back our mortgaged house and pay off our foreign debts!"

The more Wei Yiquan listened, the more frightened he became. Looking at Xu Qing's pale face, his mind slid through all the details after meeting him, and finally understood why his inferiority complex was in his bones, and finally understood that he didn't like to cause trouble and had a gentle personality. , has no temper, and is cautious about everyone.

His heart hurts so much that his heart is almost convulsed. What he thinks is never the truth. Everyone has their own secrets in their hearts, and what they see with their own eyes may not be the truth. How can he think so self-righteously... that he knows this person well? What about?

It turned out that he had never met the real Xu Qing, and Xu Qing buried the secret so deeply that no one could discover the slightest clue.

Thinking about it carefully, although Xu Qing's extra salary is low, the crew has to take care of the meals, which saves him a lot of expenses. He also has other part-time jobs, plus the rent is generous to him The door of convenience, how could he live such a bad life for himself?

Taking express delivery and food delivery as an example, a few more trips is not a small amount, it all depends on how diligent the person is.

Xu Qing is such a serious person, he will never be unsatisfied in his work, but his mobile phone is still an old man's phone from many years ago, there is no broadband at home, and there are only a few clothes; he has almost no extra expenses, how can he have no savings at all?

Where did all that money go?

Wei Yiquan only felt a throbbing pain in his head, remembering that when the advertisement had just finished filming, Xu Qing carefully asked himself when he would get the money...

Wei Yiquan took a deep breath and felt his throat tightening—what kind of life has Xu Qing been living all this time?
