become famous with a kiss

When everyone came out of the private room one after another, it was already early morning.Good colleagues walked shoulder to shoulder in twos and threes, and Ning Ze walked at the end alone.

Instead of going directly to the garage, he came outside the restaurant.

At this time, the season is cold winter, all the streets and roofs are covered with white snow, and the huge snowflakes are falling in layers, as if people can hear the "fluttering" sound of them touching the ground.In the middle of the night in the city, the endless stretches of neon make the night sky here neither stars nor dark, and the whole sky presents a crimson black permeated with deep crimson.

The air was as cold as if it had been completely frozen, but Ning Ze felt that he could start breathing again only after leaving the stuffy room.After taking a few deep breaths of the icy wind, his lungs felt like needle-pricked pain. He pulled down the woolen scarf hand-knit by his mother around his neck, opened his coat, and started walking back towards the garage.

The snow under my feet was also dirty, and my trouser legs were covered with mud after walking for a long time.The road was very wet and slippery, Ning Ze walked very slowly but still almost slipped several times.

He didn't know how long it had been, but he felt that the road was very long.

Maybe... Lu Jia couldn't wait for him and went back early.

If so, should we rejoice or regret it?

Ning Ze was thinking in a trance, while numbly looking for Lu Jia's dark blue Lotus in the garage.

When he walked past a car in a daze, the headlights of the car suddenly flashed as a signal.He raised his head, and saw Lu Jia lower the front window, flicked his cigarette butt, and exhaled a smoke ring, "Come up and talk."

When Ning Ze got into the car, the overly warm temperature in the car made his already frozen hands and ears suddenly burn with pain.

There was silence between the two of them.

Lu Jia smoked a whole cigarette and extinguished it, but still did not speak.

Ning Ze suddenly said, "Can you lend me a cigarette?"

Lu Jia glanced at him, passed a cigarette silently, and took out a lighter to ignite the flame.

Ning Ze's fingers trembled a little, and it took him a few tries to light the cigarette with his hand, and he took a deep puff, the spiciness he had never tasted before made him gasp for breath.

He coughed loudly, and the physical stimulation brought tears to his eyes.

Before this month, he never thought that he would have such a day.

Although it has long been heard that the brokerage companies in the circle will arrange for newcomers who are not optimistic and artists who are about to pass out to provide sexual services in exchange for job opportunities, but for him who has always been a top trainee, this is only at the stage of rumors .

The long-awaited debut opportunity is getting slimmer and slimmer, and Ning Ze's mood is getting more and more anxious.

On the [-]th of this month, Lu Jia, a well-known agent in the company, approached him and said that he would help him re-plan his career in acting. The premise was to help the company travel with a few directors and executives from the financial and news media.

The so-called outing, of course, is not just as simple as accompanying tours, what is hidden behind it is only naked power and sex transactions.

But this is the only chance he can seize now.

Life can be so cruel.

He thought about it inexplicably, and suddenly felt like a puppet being pulled by his limbs to walk on the steel wire. No matter which side he fell from, he would be an abyss.

Yes, it doesn't make a difference which side you fall from...

The father of the family has been ill for a long time, and the mother manages the small shop alone to maintain the family's life. The only brother Chengxi passed away three years ago.They had already lost their elder brother and could not lose another son.

A man who has already grown up, but can do nothing but sing and dance.

Seven years of life as a trainee has turned him into a person who can only rely on the entertainment machine to survive. After leaving here, he doesn't even know other means of making a living, so he can only choose to disappear from the world.

The death of his brother Chengxi is the best proof of this.

There was a sharp pain between the fingers, and Ning Ze suddenly came back to realize that it was the cigarette butt that had burned his fingers.

Even though Lu Jia was extremely patient, he felt that he had given this trainee enough time.He raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Is there any result?"

Ning Ze gritted his teeth, snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it out of the car, "I've thought about it."

"Oh?" Lu Jia smiled, "I hope I can hear good news..." Before he finished speaking, his cell phone rang earth-shatteringly.

As soon as Lu Jia heard the ringtone, he made an apologetic gesture to Ning Ze and picked up the phone.

"Well, it's convenient to talk, you talk."

"..." Ning Ze couldn't hear exactly what the person over there said, but saw Lu Jia's expression darken in an instant.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?! Isn't he messing around again?!... Then you beg him, until he agrees, do you need me to teach you?!...I see. Where is he now? ...I'll rush over there right away!" Lu Jia spoke several times faster, with an ugly face as if he had just eaten a fly.

After answering the call, he slammed the phone on the seat, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car rushed out like a rocket.

The roads in the early morning were sparsely populated. Lu Jia drove the car into an F1 racing car and ran several red lights without fear of a ticket, which immediately impressed Ning Ze with admiration.

In his memory, he has almost never seen this gold medal manager lose his composure. No matter who he faces, he seems to be calm, polite and full of calculations. What could make him so angry?

Even though his current situation is a mess, Ning Ze couldn't help feeling a little curious.

About half an hour later, Lu Jia stopped in a high-end residential area, and he didn't seem to remember that Ning Ze was also riding in his own car until he got off the car.

"Forget it, you come up together." Lu Jia seemed to have calmed down completely, but the fine lines on the corners of his mouth revealed his extremely bad mood, "Let's go, after tonight anyway, probably everyone will knew."

Ning Ze kept silent, but Lu Jia was out of his mind. The two took the elevator all the way to the top floor of the building, and Lu Jia warned again, "No matter what you see, don't talk."

He smiled again, "Alright, let me show you the life of a top star in advance."

After finishing speaking, he opened the combination lock on the side, pressed a few numbers familiarly, and the door opened in response.

This suite occupies the entire top floor of the building, and roughly looks about [-] ping.

The color tone is mainly light yellow and brown, and the decoration style is simple and bright.The high foyer, the screen-like TV wall, the pure white sofa set and the geometric quartz coffee table are all bright and graceful.Facing the living room is the entire floor-to-ceiling window, with neon lights flashing outside the window, overlooking the night view of the entire city.Chandeliers and wall lights complement each other in the continuous corridors and pierced balconies.The cloakroom, gymnasium, and small music room stretch to the north and south. The guest room, study, and master bedroom are equipped with low windows and hexagonal viewing bay windows.

Ning Ze took a rough look and stopped looking closely, because his eyes had already been attracted by a piece of decoration facing the hallway.

In fact, it was a person, but it could also be said to be a work of art, an extremely exquisite decoration.

As long as he is placed in the center of the room, even the most luxurious setting will suddenly lose its color.

Even though they belonged to the same company, this was the first time Ning Ze met Guan Baiyan in real life.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that someone's appearance could bring such a strong impact on others.

Guan Baiyan, 25 years old, looks younger than his actual age.

As a man, you can say that he is handsome, and you can also say that this is a kind of beauty.This beauty is so pure and absolute that even many male and female stars who pretend to be vases in the showbiz rarely dare to take pictures with him.The so-called amorous and sexy additions are nothing to mention in front of this overwhelming beauty.As long as he sits here quietly, even without any movements or expressions, it is enough to make anyone melt away.

In all the well-known external images, Guan Baiyan is synonymous with gentleness, elegance, intelligence, and understanding.

Now he is wearing simple home clothes and comfortable cloth slippers, drinking coffee with a calm expression, like a prince enjoying afternoon tea in his own castle.

But in front of him, there was a fat man with rough eyebrows, small eyes and a sallow face, begging Guan Baiyan, who was several years younger than him, "Brother, I beg you. I'd better think about it again." Well, Big Brother Lu will be here soon."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ning Ze recognized that this person was Guan Baiyan's assistant Xiong Pang, nicknamed "Pang Xiong". ——Although Guan Baiyan does not often appear in the company due to his tight schedule, the people around him are also very famous in Hualing International, and they often become the focus of others' flattery.

It's just that in front of Ning Ze and other trainees, Xiong Pang's status in the past was always high and high, and he absolutely couldn't see tonight's humility.

The sofa Guan Baiyan was sitting on was facing the hall, and Xiong Pang was still persevering in begging and persuading him, but he had already seen Lu Jia and Ning Ze walking in.

His blade-like gaze passed directly through Ning Ze and stabbed Lu Jia in the face, but he continued to talk to Xiong Pang, "A man who will be 30 soon, your knees are so worthless? Even if you want to kneel, you should Bow your head because of your own affairs, how can you rush to take the blame for others?"

Xiong Pang lowered his head, but he didn't realize that there were two more people behind him, he just murmured in his heart: Isn't I also planning for a rainy day?Anyway, every time I end up being unlucky.But he still had to say, "Brother, you really misunderstood. I'm the one who decides what to do next in this drama, Brother Lu doesn't know anything about it."

Guan Baiyan still looked at Lu Jia with raised eyebrows, but said to Xiong Pang, "You are my assistant, and Lu Jia is my manager. I don't know anything about this show, he doesn't know anything, only you understand, Is that what you mean?"

Xiong Pang's face was full of cold sweat, but he couldn't get off the tiger, so he could only bite the bullet, "Yes..."

Before he finished speaking, Guan Baiyan sneered, "Lu Jia, are you really ignorant?"

"... Huh?" Xiong Pang screamed in surprise, only then did he discover Lu Jia's arrival.

Based on previous experience, he knew that the next battle would be unstoppable. In order to avoid being shot while lying down, he could only tighten his flesh as much as possible, and in a kneeling position, he stepped backwards and moved out of the battlefield step by step. He also greeted Ning Ze, who was still unclear about the situation, and hurriedly avoided it.

Guan Baiyan looked up at Lu Jia.

Looking at it from this angle, Guan Baiyan's face, which is known as "good to see and crazy", is covered with a layer of frost, and his icy eyes make people feel like they are in the North Pole.

What the hell is "the top three male artists who are most suitable for women's clothing" - Lu Jia cursed in his heart - if a woman's eyes look like this, the man who sleeps with her will probably be scared awake in the middle of the night!

He already knew the reason of the matter from Xiong Pang, and understood that he shouldn't force it at this moment, so he smiled consolingly, "Do you know what? Who made our Guan Tianwang angry..."

"Snapped!"

What he answered was a script that slammed heavily on his forehead.

Lu Jia blocked his head reflexively, but his glasses fell to the ground.

The script thrown by Guan Baiyan bounced off Lu Jia's head and flew far away, just in front of Xiong Pang and Ning Ze.

The few lines of big characters on the cover are very clear - "Winter Sunshine", starring: Guan Baiyan, ×××, Xiaobin, ×××...

Ning Ze immediately realized, "Winter Sunshine"... Isn't this the reason for Xiaobin's celebration banquet tonight?But looking at the current situation, could it be that the established male number one didn't even know that he was going to star in this drama.

"You have to treat yourself like an idiot, but don't expect others to be idiots with you." Guan Baiyan actually smiled, causing Xiong Pang to shiver.

"You know what you're doing? I'm your manager." Lu Jia picked up his glasses and put them back on. The smile he had barely put on finally disappeared, and his face was very ugly.

"You also know that you are my manager? You actually let Xiong Pang say that you don't know what scenes you have accepted for me?"

"So what if you know? So what if I arranged it? What objection do you have?"

"You ask me what objections do you have?" Guan Baiyan's voice rose slightly, "I really want to ask you what you think. Is there any example of an artist returning to make an idol drama after making a movie? Self-depreciation? Self-deprecation ? Or did my brain go crazy with a fever?"

Lu Jia's voice became louder and louder, "It's the brain that makes an idol drama? It's the first time I've heard such a saying. Why don't you check who the screenwriter and director are first, and don't look at the other staff lineups." , and then decide whether to lose your temper?!"

"How do you know I haven't watched it?" Guan Baiyan finally put down his coffee and sat up straight, "Yes, as an idol drama, it is indeed good, but it is far from being comparable to "Oriental Eden". Lu Jia, why don't you Dare to tell the truth? Wanting me to act in this drama is actually not for my future development at all, but for this Xiaobin. He is the most popular idol besides me now, isn’t he? This "Winter Sunshine" "... just to make him more popular. If you want to cross the river, I will be that bridge."

After being poked into a sore spot, Lu Jia calmed down instead, "I want to make Xiaobin more popular, but Guan Baiyan...you should know that I am also thinking about you."

"For my consideration?" Guan Baiyan laughed back angrily, "This statement is very fresh."

"Once "Oriental Eden" became popular, you don't know who you are?" Lu Jia's words became more and more direct, until Xiong Pang jumped beside him anxiously, "Best film, best director, best actor... …These things have nothing to do with you. You are the biggest vase in this drama, and you don’t need any acting skills at all. The audience can’t see this, and they all make a fuss, so you get dizzy? Now your level It's only enough to act in idol dramas, if you insist on mixing with those old dramas, you're asking for embarrassment."

"..." Guan Baiyan's chest heaved violently.

Xiong Pang and Ning Ze thought at the same time: He must have exploded with anger.

But there is no way, even Guan Baiyan, who is a superstar, can't go well.

Under the rigorous entertainment system, singers have already signed lengthy contracts with brokerage companies before their debut, and during this period, all activities of artists must be subject to the arrangements of the company and brokers.If you have grievances in private, you can negotiate, but if you blatantly breach the contract, you will face the double danger of being frozen and going to court.

No singer can afford such a risk, exposure is pretty much all they have.

No matter how high the position is, it is sailing against the current. No matter how popular it was back then, if it is frozen for two or three years, fans may never remember who the person they were obsessed with was.

Relatively speaking, the career life of an actor can be longer, and the popularity can also be maintained for a longer time. This is why many singers are eager to challenge their acting skills after they become popular, but people have always been harsh on idols in film and television dramas .

Although Lu Jia spoke harshly, he also told part of the truth.

As someone who regards Guan Baiyan as his goal, Ning Ze also watched the sensational "Oriental Garden of Eden". The scene in the film left a deep impression on him: the man who could no longer suppress his desire climbed up to the attic where the boy lived alone, In the evening, the turbid and yellow light was projected on the narrow spiral staircase, and the surrounding was deadly silent, only the man's heavy breathing and the creaking sound of the old floor.When he finally climbed to the top of the building and came to the simple living room on the top of the building, he saw the young man standing under the window with white gauze curtains.

Hearing footsteps, the boy turned his head.In the backlight, it is impossible to see his entire expression clearly, his entire outline is drawn into a beautiful and lonely silhouette by the setting sun.The camera zoomed in, and the audience and the men in the play gradually saw his eyes clearly.Those eyes, covered with thick long lashes, were dark and bright, full of understanding, pity and despair.But even such sad and complicated emotions, contained in these eyes full of infinite charm, still give people the illusion of deep affection. Just one glance can make people lose their hearts and souls.

The man looked down at his hands, as if he suddenly realized that they were already so dirty, he didn't take a final step forward, but walked down the attic in a daze.

……

Ning Ze always felt that Guan Baiyan's moment of looking back was a classic, but he was not a professional, so he couldn't comment on why, but thought it was really great.

How can Guan Baiyan, who can be so expressive, have no acting skills? Ning Ze actually does not agree with Lu Jia's statement in his heart, but he has no way to refute it.

After a while, Guan Baiyan also calmed down, and he resumed his flat tone, "Okay, if I act in "Winter Sunshine" as you said, what about the next one? What about the next one? Are you going to let me play "Winter Sunshine"? Have you been acting in idol dramas?"

"If you can't improve your acting skills, you can only go on like this."

"How can I improve my acting skills by acting in idol dramas all the time?"

"Let's wait until you finish "Winter Sunshine" to discuss these issues."

Guan Baiyan paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "There is no need to act."

"I've already signed the contract for you."

Guan Baiyan stood up, picked up the script that had been thrown far away, put it back on the coffee table, looked at Lu Jia face to face, and said word by word, "Then you can act by yourself. I will propose to the company to change the agent." People's request, our cooperation ends here."

"Do you think the company will agree?" Lu Jia said confidently, "I have taken you for eight years, how much painstaking effort did I put in to promote you from a young idol who just debuted to the current position? If everyone becomes popular, they will change managers. How can Hualing International continue to operate?"

"Then I'll change the agency."

Guan Baiyan's understatement was like a thunderclap on the ground, causing Xiong Pang to stagger and kneel in front of him again, hugging his leg and shaking it desperately, "Brother, you can't just say such things casually. What if the agent changes the company after a few quarrels?"

"Xiong Fatty, get out of the way, let him change if he wants to change." Lu Jia still refused to give an inch, and then said to Guan Bai, "Your contract with the company will expire in two years, if you want to There is no job, just go ahead and terminate the contract."

His threat only resulted in Guan Baiyan raising his eyebrows slightly, "Okay, then let's see who will have the last laugh."
