Showbiz Prejudice

It's Cheng Chen.

When Cheng Chen saw him, he was overjoyed: "Brother Cheng! Why are you here! Did you know that I'm filming here and came to visit the set?"

Cheng Anyi opened his mouth. He was still immersed in the shock just now, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer. Just as he was thinking about his words, the person on the bed spoke before him: "He came to see me."

He turned his head following the sound, only to realize that Zhao Jinglan was not asleep.He lay awake on the reclining bed, glanced at himself, then at Cheng Chen, and said, "Since you all know each other, I won't introduce you."

Only then did Cheng Chen come to his senses: "It turns out that Brother Xiao Cheng is here to see the boss!" He said, turning his head to look at Zhao Jinglan again, with a hint of complaint in his eyes: "Boss, so you and Brother Cheng are good friends , why didn't you say it earlier!"

Zhao Jinglan sat up from the bed, Cheng Chen quickly supported him, Zhao Jinglan said: "I just found out that you know each other."

After Cheng Chen heard it, he was very excited. He pointed to himself happily, then pointed to the other two people, and then happily said: "It turns out that the three of us know each other! It's great! Xiao Cheng Brother, do you think we are destined like this?"

As he spoke, he turned around and pushed Cheng Anyi.Cheng Anyi's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't say a word in a daze. His mind kept thinking about the two words Cheng Chen said just now.

boss.

He called him boss.

He thought of Cheng Chen saying that he had a true fan, and his true fan brought him into the company, and there was only one artist in their company... He remembered that Zhao Jinglan came to Beijing that day and said something, he was working on a music project... He I also asked him if the song was good...

At that time, he didn't pay attention to that piece of music, so he didn't listen to it carefully, but when he thought about it carefully... that piece of music was completely in Cheng Chen's style...

All these things were connected together, Cheng Chen stood stiffly, out of breath, as if he was in a huge conspiracy vortex, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get out.

He turned around to look at Zhao Jinglan, but found that the other party was also looking at him, and his scrutiny made him feel panicked.This expression is very common, but he feels that the other party is very strange.

The other party looked at him straight, the expression on his face was very cold, Cheng Anyi felt as if his whole body was frozen, he heard the other party ask: "Why are you here? Didn't I say I'm fine?

He was hoarse, his throat was tight, and he worked hard to say what was on his lips: "I'll...see you."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry." Zhao Jinglan shook his head, his gaze returned to normal, and then he said, "Cheng Chen takes care of me."

His words made Cheng Anyi feel even more flustered. Cheng Anyi took a step forward and walked to Zhao Jinglan's side: "Brother Zhao... What's your relationship with Cheng Chen...?"

"Working relationship. I'm his boss." The other party glanced at him, as if he had asked a very inexplicable question, and then he asked, "What's wrong?"

The expression and tone of the other party were so calm that no one could find any reason. Cheng Chen was a little confused for a moment, and he swallowed all the things he wanted to ask.It seems inappropriate to say this in front of Cheng Chen now, why not figure it out later, he thought so, put aside his psychological doubts temporarily, and started another topic: "Brother Zhao, has your fever gone away?" ?”

"Well, I've already retired." Zhao Jinglan nodded, he looked a little pale, but his mind was clearly clear, Cheng Anyi was relieved.

The three of them stayed in the room for a while, and then Cheng Chen suggested that since they were here, why not go out for a meal together, Zhao Jinglan didn't object, and Cheng Anyi agreed.The three of them drove to a nearby food street.

I found a restaurant and sat down with a few people, and they began to order. Cheng Chen told Zhao Jinglan to order, and Zhao Jinglan shook his head: "I just recovered from illness, and I don't have much appetite."

"Oh, that's it..." Cheng Chen rubbed his head, looking embarrassed, then he handed the menu to Cheng Anyi: "Brother Cheng, why don't you order it, you have come so far, we should treat you."

Cheng Anyi shook his head, and handed him the menu: "I don't care, you're a foodie, you can order."

Cheng Chen was a little embarrassed: "I don't know if you like what I ordered..."

"It's okay, just order your favorite." Cheng Anyi finished speaking, and then reported the names of the other party's favorite dishes: "Steamed glutinous rice dumplings, braised crucian carp, and three-cup chicken."

"Steamed glutinous rice dumplings, braised crucian carp, three cups of chicken."

At the same time as he was speaking, Zhao Jinglan also opened his mouth. Two identical words were uttered from both mouths at the same time. The two looked at each other inexplicably. For a moment, there was a trace of embarrassment in the air.

Cheng Chen didn't feel anything, he happily finalized the menu: "Okay, just order this! You two are indeed my true love, and you all know what I like to eat!"

Hearing the word "true love", Cheng Anyi's mood dropped instantly.He lowered his head and fiddled with his chopsticks, silently.

There were many thoughts in his mind, but he tried his best to suppress them. He said to himself, the two of them are just the relationship between the boss and the employees. Brother Zhao is a very careful person, and he knows that his employees' food preferences are normal.

But there was still an uncontrollable panic in my heart.

After eating, Zhao Jinglan and Cheng Chen were chatting about some music matters, but Cheng Anyi couldn't get in his mouth the whole time, so he had no choice but to pick up the rice, but felt that he couldn't get in.

After a while, Zhao Jinglan received a call saying something was up, so she left in a hurry, leaving Cheng Anyi and Cheng Chen alone.

Cheng Chen was still very excited, talking to himself about the new album, Cheng Anyi didn't have much interest in listening, he took advantage of his pause and stopped him: "Cheng Chen... How long have you known Brother Zhao..."

Cheng Chen stopped his long speech, he raised his head, and thought for a while: "Brother Zhao and I... have known each other for two years..."

Cheng Anyi picked up the meal, feeling very bitter in his heart: "Then he is the boss who brought you into the company..."

"Yeah, that's him!" Cheng Chen said, and began to chatter again: "You don't know, he is very powerful! He is very efficient in doing things. Our company has few employees, and he is the only one who supports us." , although he is usually cold, but he is also very kind to people, in short, he is a very good boss!"

Cheng Anyi felt very uncomfortable hearing Cheng Chen praise him like this.He chewed two mouthfuls of rice, feeling very bitter: "Then... is he... the true fan you mentioned..."

"I don't know either." Cheng Chen rested his cheeks and seemed to be hesitant: "He said he was. But I continued to chat with that true fan afterwards, but every time I asked him to talk to him face to face, he would always answer. not come up."

"Later, that true fan didn't chat with me anymore, and I gradually forgot about it, but I always felt that the boss and the true fan gave me a different feeling."

"You mean... there might be someone else who is a true fan?"

"Well, I don't know." Cheng Chen thought, shaking his head: "Whatever, maybe the boss is just teasing me."

Hearing Cheng Chen's answer, Cheng Anyi felt relieved.The feeling of weightlessness just now finally disappeared slowly, he thought, since the true fan might be someone else, then Zhao Jinglan didn't lie to him, and now the whole matter has not been clarified, so he can't make a judgment lightly.

He has to trust him.

As he thought about it, his heart gradually settled down.

After dinner, Cheng Anyi returned to Beijing.After returning to Beijing, he was so out of his mind that he couldn't help calling Zhao Jinglan every day. Fortunately, Zhao Jinglan answered every time, and his tone of voice was the same as usual.Cheng Anyi wanted to ask him about true fans many times, but for some reason, he couldn't ask him every time the words came to his lips.

He is afraid.

Sometimes he would hear Cheng Chen's voice on the other end of the phone, who was affectionately called Boss Zhao Jinglan. Every time Cheng Anyi heard it, he would feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to show it.

Next, he accepted a variety show and became a resident guest in it.He was surprised to find that Chen Yingying was also there. She was mixed among a bunch of celebrities who were answering announcements. Several people grabbed a microphone, and Cheng Anyi could hardly find him.He didn't expect that the other party had already fallen to this point.

Once when he was putting on makeup, Chen Yingying happened to be next to him. The dressing room was fooled by her and wanted to make it up for herself. Chen Yingying touched her face that didn't even cover the acne marks, and was very angry: "What's going on! You Is this called makeup? It’s done with just a few touches of chalk?”

The makeup artist looked at him with a proud expression on his face: "Sister Yingying, I'm very busy. I'm going to be on a show soon. So many people ask me to do makeup. I'm too busy to handle you. How can I care about you?" acne marks!"

He spoke in a very arrogant tone.Cheng Anyi was listening, and felt a little sad for a moment.This circle is like this, sophisticated and realistic, once you have no use value, everyone will step on you.

After the makeup artist finished speaking, he leaned in front of him, and his face instantly changed into a catering smile. He heard him say flatteringly: "Brother Cheng, I've been waiting for a long time. I'm here to touch up your makeup now."

Cheng Anyi shook his head: "No need, my makeup is almost done." He said, then turned and pointed at Chen Yingying: "You can help sister Yingying do it."

The make-up artist obviously didn't think he would say that, and walked back with an embarrassing expression.Seeing him, Su Yingying snorted coldly. Cheng Anyi thought she would scold the makeup artist a few words, or not accept her favor, but she didn't say anything, and just let the makeup artist act obediently.

For a moment, Cheng Anyi admired her a little, she was really flexible.

It will be on the show soon, and there are a lot of women among the guests in this episode.When playing the game, Cheng Anyi obviously felt that everyone was running on Chen Yingying, and said a lot of sarcasm that made her unable to get off the stage. No matter how hard Chen Yingying tolerated, the whole person's face could not hold back, and his face was very bad.

The next step is to make a game group, two people in a group, everyone will automatically form a faction, only Chen Yingying is alone and alone.The host kept reminding Chen Yingying that she didn't have a partner. It was very awkward for Chen Yingying to stand alone on the stage. Cheng Anyi thought about it, got off the guest seat, and asked the host, "Can I participate?"

The host was obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized: "Of course!" He said, turning to explain to all the audience in front of the camera: "Our Xiao Cheng is really very personable! Come down and save the beauty!"

Cheng Anyi nodded, walked to Chen Yingying's side, and tied his legs together with him. He lowered his head, and heard Chen Yingying's voice full of resentment: "You don't need to pretend to be kind."

Cheng Anyi shook his head and looked at her: "I'm not helping you."

"I just want this show to wrap up quickly so I can go home."

The other party glanced at him, and sneered again: "Go home? Go home and see your Brother Zhao?"

Cheng Anyi didn't understand what he meant, and looked at her strangely.

The other party stared at his expression for a while, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and laughed loudly: "What? You don't know that Zhao Jinglan has returned to Beijing?"

Hearing these words, Cheng Anyi's throat felt a little dry: "You said...Brother Zhao returned to Beijing?"

"That's right." The other party looked at him amusedly, and nodded mockingly: "He's been running a music project in Beijing recently, bringing his new love... no, it's his newly signed artist, what's his name... It seems to be called Cheng Chen?"

Cheng Anyi's heart sank heavily.

Seeing that she was silent, Chen Yingying knew that she had reached the point. She quickly glanced at Cheng Anyi, and then asked, "Are you doing something on the show later?"

Cheng Anyi looked at her strangely: "No, what's wrong?"

"Take you somewhere."

After recording for a day, I finally got off the show.Chen Yingying brought Cheng Anyi to a building that Cheng Anyi was very familiar with, and it was the place where many people in the industry held press conferences.Press the elevator all the way to the ninth floor, walk in, it seems to be a scene of a press conference.Cheng Anyi saw that the inside was filled with balloons, and there was a huge poster on the stage. The red banner on the roof read: "The casting meeting for the new peach color has officially started, and Zhao Jinglan will come to the venue..."

Cheng Anyi walked into the poster, and saw that on the poster was Zhao Jinglan's Qingjun face ten years ago, and there was a person in his arms...

That was Li Jian back then.

He suddenly seemed to have a premonition of something.

The press conference started within a few minutes. Zhao Jinglan came out amidst the shouts of thousands of people. The host asked him: "Brother Zhao, 17 years have passed since this film. May I ask why you thought of making this film again? How about becoming the producer of this film?"

Zhao Jinglan picked up the microphone and answered in an orderly manner: "It's been 17 years since the film Taose, but many fans still can't forget it. The new version of Taose is the sequel of Taose. It tells a lot of things that Taose has not finished expressing, so I think Picking up this film, I hope it can make up for everyone's regrets and give everyone a complete ending."

"Then Brother Zhao, who do you think can be qualified for the two main roles of Li Jian and Shen Yue?"

"Li Jian is a character that needs depth and accumulation. If you look at the entertainment industry, there are many such characters. Since I have acted in the past, I don't want everyone to use these two versions to compare, so I will choose who can play the role. No more. But Shen Yue..." He paused suddenly as he spoke, as if thinking about his words, and then he said, "I have a candidate for the role of Shen Yue."

"Oh?" The host exclaimed, and his tone was full of curiosity: "I don't know who is the actor who can make Brother Zhao fall in love with? Who can have such an honor?"

"It's actually not mysterious." Zhao Jinglan shook his head, raised his eyes, and showed a smile that could confuse everyone: "This person is an artist I signed recently, and his name... is Cheng Chen."

His name... is Cheng Chen.

Afterwards, Zhao Jinglan answered many questions one after another, Cheng Anyi couldn't listen anymore.Chen Yingying's harsh words kept repeating in his ears: "How is it? Was it a pleasant surprise? Didn't you expect it? He didn't tell you when he returned to Beijing, and he didn't tell you when the new version of Peachy was going to start. He didn't even tell you about the casting of the movie. Your share."

"Cheng Anyi, I told you earlier." Chen Yingying said, looking at him ruthlessly: "Zhao Jinglan is a very ruthless person, and you have never been involved in all the things he planned."

She was talking endlessly, but the other party's eyes were dull, just looking at the people on the stage fixedly. The next second, he suddenly walked out of the crowd, and then found a dark place. He took out his mobile phone and started dialing Number.

The call was dialed quickly. Holding the mobile phone, he saw Zhao Jinglan walking down from the stage and disappearing into the crowd from a distance. He heard the other party's voice coming from the chaotic environment: "Xiao Cheng? What do you want from me?" thing?"

"Brother Zhao... where are you now?"

"I'm filming, what's wrong?"

Cheng Anyi bit her lip, and glanced at the crowd opposite.It was so dark there that Zhao Jinglan could not be seen for a long time.He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother Zhao, I want to ask you one thing."

"What's the matter? You said."

"I heard that the new version of Tao Se is about to start filming." Cheng Anyi said, looking at the crowd over there: "I want to play the role of Shen Yue, is that okay?"

After he finished speaking, he held the microphone tightly and waited for the other party's answer. He clicked his tongue and seemed very impatient: "Didn't we agree not to interfere with each other's work?"

He closed his eyes and begged him: "Brother Zhao...I really want to play this role...Please..."

The other party quickly interrupted him: "No."

"This role has already been decided, and it's useless for you to tell me."

"who is it?"

"what?"

"You have decided on a candidate, who is that person?"

The other party didn't seem to expect that he would ask such a persistent question, he was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "You don't know that person."

He said, at this moment the host has invited him to the stage again, he held the microphone: "Stop talking, I have something to do now, so that's it."

In the next second, he hung up the phone.

Then, he strolled towards the stage, receiving the stares of the host and countless audiences, so he didn't notice at all that in the dark, someone was holding a receiver and staring at him blankly.

In an instant, something fell apart.
