I'm not a good substitute

When Zhang Yanran returned home, he was surprised to find that Huo Jindong was not there.

Go to the room to pack your own things first, because Zhang Yanran didn't bring much because he moved out in a hurry, one suitcase is enough.

Guo De has already booked the air ticket and will leave in the afternoon. Seeing that time is running out, Zhang Yanran made a few phone calls to Huo Jindong, but the other party was busy.

Huo Jindong was originally waiting for Zhang Yanran to come back, but the company had urgent matters to deal with, so he had to rush to the company first, held several meetings in a row, and the sky had already darkened after the end.

Xiao Liu brought him a cup of coffee. Seeing Huo Jindong rubbing his forehead wearily, he said thoughtfully, "Boss, you can go back first. I'll finish the rest of the work."

Huo Jindong is strict by nature and has high requirements for work. He used to do it by himself before, but now he rarely hesitated when he heard Xiao Liu's words. Today Zhang Yanran seemed to have something to say to him.

After checking that it was getting late, he turned on the phone and had several calls from Zhang Yanran. He probably didn't receive it during the meeting.

Huo Jindong dialed back, only to be prompted to shut down the phone.

For some reason, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. Huo Jindong didn't even have time to drink coffee, so he grabbed his coat and went out.

After returning home, all the lights in the house were turned off. Compared with the thousands of lights outside the window, the empty and dark house was even more lonely.

Huo Jindong turned on the light, stood at the door and looked around, and found that there seemed to be something missing in the house.

He walked into the room and found that all the things belonging to Zhang Yanran had been taken away, only his clothes were hanging empty on the other side of the closet.

Turning around the whole room in disbelief, everything belonging to Zhang Yanran has been taken away without leaving any trace.

The fritters I bought for Zhang Yanran in the morning were still on the table, and they had become dry and hard.

Sitting dejectedly on the sofa, Huo Jindong lowered his head and found a bank card with half a piece of paper pressed underneath, which was Zhang Yanran's handwriting, "There is 20 in the card, and the password is the last six digits. Take care."

The handwriting was scribbled, and it was obvious that he left in a hurry, but there was no other information.

Huo Jindong stared at the card, his heart almost stopped beating. 20, where did Zhang Yanran get so much money?

Zhang Yanran's family is just an ordinary family. The 20 yuan is a lot of money to Zhang Yanran. Why is it so easy to give it to him now?And why didn't you say a little more, and left without explaining anything.

When people are in extreme chaos, they will have many bad associations. Huo Jindong was so worried that he desperately called Zhang Yanran, but he still couldn't get in touch with anyone.

Huo Jindong panicked. He felt that he had made an extremely wrong decision before.

Zhang Yanran couldn't get through to Huo Jindong's phone number, and Guo De urged him to leave again, so he left his bank card on the coffee table, left a few words briefly, and set off with his luggage.

Guo De had been waiting for him for a while, and the two got into a taxi and headed straight to the airport, because it was the first time they joined the group for so long, Guo De was afraid that Zhang Yanran was inexperienced, so he had to go along with him.

"By the way, I'm going to set up a studio in a while, so I can avoid some taxes, and the expenses will be taken from the company account, and the accounts will be more reasonable." This is an idea that Guo De had long ago, just because he has not found a suitable one. That's why the artist procrastinated, and now that he has signed Zhang Yanran, he deeply feels that this cannot go on like this.

Zhang Yanran nodded, "Okay. Brother Guo, you can deal with these matters. I don't know much, so I'll listen to you."

Guo De flipped through the news, nodded and said, "At that time, the contract may have to be re-signed, and this time the contract is reserved for your bank card number, let me know when it arrives, and we will call whoever it is first. "

Then who is Xiao Liang, Guo De didn't say much because of the taxi driver's presence.

Now Zhang Yanran's feelings towards Xiao Liang are very subtle. He never expected that he, who has such a positive image in the eyes of the audience and fans, would actually do this kind of thing in private. He looks ugly and is quite clever.

But thinking that he was also a member of the gangsters, Zhang Yanran could only smile helplessly. The situation was stronger than others, and he could only bow his head in the face of the pressure of money.

The two went straight to the airport. Before boarding the plane, Zhang Yanran made a video call to Zhang's mother and asked her to meet Guo De.

After learning that the two were going to film, Zhang's mother was a little distressed, but seeing Zhang Yanran looking forward to talking about her favorite job, she couldn't say much, so she had to tell Zhang Yanran to pay more attention to her body, come back early, and don't worry about making money. consume yourself.

Now that Zhang's father is lying on the hospital bed, such words are just deceiving himself.However, Zhang Yanran still listened very carefully, and after telling Zhang's mother to take a serious rest and take care of Zhang's father as well as herself, Zhang Yanran reluctantly put down the phone.

Last night, he didn't rest well on the bench in the hospital. Zhang Yanran fell asleep as soon as he boarded the plane. Guo De was so distressed that he covered him with a blanket and sighed softly.

When I first met Zhang Yanran, he was innocent and sunny. At first glance, he looked like a child raised by pampering. Now, in less than a month, he has quickly become depressed. Not to mention that he is weather-beaten, he has indeed endured some hardships in life.

For actors, experiencing life more will help them appreciate the characters better, but as a friend, Guo De only hopes that such things will happen less to Zhang Yanran, so that he can have an ordinary and happy life.

Two or three hours later, the plane landed. As the name suggests, Nanyi Film and Television Base is in the south, a few latitudes lower than the capital city, and you can feel the scorching wind as soon as you get off the plane.

Zhang Yanran took off his coat and shook the shirt on Du's body. He made a mistake, he was wearing too thick.

Guo De went to contact the crew, Zhang Yanran was looking for a place to buy water, but was hit head-on, the other party straightened his hat and left quickly without even saying an apology.

Really, Zhang Yanran shook his head, chose two bottles of water from the vending machine, and when it was time to pay, he realized that the inner pocket of the coat had been cut open, and his mobile phone and wallet were gone.

It was that person just now!

Zhang Yanran quickly turned his head and stared at the people passing by in the hall, where else could he find it?

Fortunately, there was not much money in the wallet, and the password of the mobile phone could not be deciphered with a high probability, so there was not much loss.But when he first arrived, he encountered a thief, and Zhang Yanran was quite depressed.

Guo De asked about the hotel, and came to find Zhang Yanran to go there with him. He was speechless when he saw the cut in his clothes, and patted his forehead and sighed, "I forgot to remind you, because it is a film and television base, the flow of people in Nanyi is very complicated. Be careful. Even on set, it’s not guaranteed that the extras are clean.”

Zhang Yanran nodded helplessly. Fortunately, the loss was not much.Just in case, they still go to the police station at the airport to report the case, although there is a high probability that they will not be able to find it, even if they want to find some psychological comfort.

It takes about two hours to drive from the airport to the hotel. There are too many actors and crews coming these days, and the crew has no time to prepare vehicles, so they can go there by themselves and will be reimbursed later.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the hotel, and Zhang Yanran needed to make some preparations for reading the script tomorrow morning.

Guo De simply ordered takeaway, and took advantage of this time to spread knowledge to Zhang Yanran, who didn't know anything.

The Nanyi film and television base is mainly a filming base for ancient costumes and the Republic of China. It covers a large area, and there are many production crews who have started work. Because the buildings are exquisite and beautiful, the price is also high. Like the studio they rent, it costs hundreds of thousands a day. .

"So expensive?" Zhang Yanran was speechless.

Guo De smiled, "It's just a drop in the bucket. In the future, going on location will be the big money burner. However, I heard that the shooting cycle of the male lead is four months. Can you figure out which is more valuable, he or the studio?"

After speaking, both of them laughed.

Seeing that Zhang Yanran was in a good mood, Guo De carefully brought up the topic, "Yan Ran, you have experienced some things in the past few days. In short, this circle is much more difficult than the most complicated situation you can imagine. .I will accompany you and protect you, but more often you have to face it by yourself.”

"As far as the current situation is concerned, being an actor is a complicated profession. Not only do you have to act well, but more importantly, you have to face the public. What the team can do is limited, and the most important thing is to rely on yourself." Guo De has a strong heart.

What he didn't explain is that in the circle, many artists' black spots are contributed by themselves, and the team is more helping to deal with the aftermath.

Zhang Yanran nodded. Although he has not joined the filming team yet, his cognition has been subverted from the inside to the outside from the casting to the contract. Although it looks glamorous, the hidden crisis may be worse than any other industry. Much deeper.

Seeing that Zhang Yanran listened to it, Guo De felt very comforted in his heart, and finally reminded, "You are too kind and simple, and I will leave after a while. I especially need to remind you, don't trust anyone, it is anyone. I will help you later Look for an assistant to come over, but it is difficult to find the right person, and it may take a while to wrong you."

Zhang Yanran waved his hand, "Brother Guo, I can take care of myself, so I don't need my assistant?"

Guo De shook his head, "The rules in the circle are like this. Even a starlet of the [-]th line must have an assistant. Although there are not many roles in this drama, I will help you get at least a male second in the next drama. Dogs look down on people too much, and it is inconvenient for you to do many things without an assistant."

Well, although Zhang Yanran felt that there was nothing wrong with him, Guo De was a professional. At that time, he also agreed to handle everything other than acting, so Zhang Yanran nodded obediently.

"You have dinner first, and then read the script. I'll go out to find out the situation, and I'll help you buy some daily necessities when I come back. I've already placed an order for the latest model of your mobile phone online. Remember to sign for it." Guo De told Zhang Yanran, simply like an old father.

Zhang Yanran nodded repeatedly. Although he has grown a lot after experiencing the recent events, he is still a newcomer in the show business circle, a very newcomer, and he has to rely on Guo De's guidance for everything.

And Guo De did his best to help, and vowed to make Zhang Yanran a first-line star.

The two were discussing filming matters here, but they didn't know that Huo Jindong, who was far away in the capital, was already insane. The first person to bear his anger was Zhang Yanran's current boss, Song Zai.
