devil's pet

God is a waste, Zhuo Xiran thought.Never pray to God again.

Unable to participate in the film festival, super newcomer Zhuo Xiran could only sit in front of the TV and watch the live broadcast of the awards ceremony.

Even Han Yunxiao and Solis participated!Wearing sunglasses and looking cool, Han Yunxiao and Cheng Minghan appeared on the scene together. Both of them were tall and handsome. They looked very majestic and seductive when they walked on the red carpet. Zhuo Xiran's eyes turned red with jealousy.

"This is so amazing! He can participate in the film festival? That's amazing! Isn't he a singer?" Xiaomei ate popcorn and drank beer.

In Xiaomei's house, the two were lying on the ground watching the show.

"The theme song "Millennium" of "Legend of the White Snake" was shortlisted for the Best Music Award, and he sang that song." Zhuo Xiran said.

"What? He sang that song? Is it true or not?" There were always people ordering this song in the store, and Xiaomei didn't realize until now that several of her friends turned out to be such famous stars.

"Well, that's right, Cheng Minghan wrote the lyrics and composed the music!" Zhuo Xiran pouted.

"Is Cheng Tianwang going to be completely behind the scenes?" Xiaomei felt it was a pity.

"It looks like he's appearing on camera now to promote Yunyun." Zhuo Xiran said.

"It seems that Yunyun was right to leave Mary in the first place. Youcheng Minghan strongly praised him. I believe he will become more and more popular." Xiaomei said.

Next, Zhuo Xiran didn't listen to what Xiaomei said, because the screams suddenly overshadowed the host's voice. A Bentley car stopped at the entrance of the venue, and a man got out of the car. The man greeted him very politely. The female companion invited out, and seeing the two of them, the voice of the host changed a bit:

"Next on the red carpet are Huatian Entertainment Group Chairman Wang Zichen and...and..."

The host stuttered, not only her, everyone was thinking, who is this woman? ?After stuttering a few times, she was reminded before she said, "And Wang Zichen's girlfriend, Miss Mina."

It may be that the recording unit did not know the background of this woman. The host continued: "Mr. Wang Zichen seldom attends award ceremonies, and he rarely shows up with a female companion. There is no more information about Miss Mina in the list I got." Information, like everyone else, I am also very curious about the identity of Miss Mina. Who is this mysterious female guest? What is the relationship with our prince? I think Mr. Wang Zichen will give us a satisfactory answer after the show answer?"

"This time Wang Zichen participated in the Silver Wing Film Festival Awards Gala as one of the original works, screenwriters and producers of "The Mark of Sin-Jihad". This masterpiece currently has 13 nominations, and I don't know how many it will win in the end. What about the grand prize? In an earlier interview with Mr. Wang Zichen, he said, "In fact, he doesn't have much confidence. After all, every film shortlisted is excellent." Mr. Wang Zichen is really too humble. Tonight's big winner! You know, before this March, "The Mark of Sin-Jihad" just won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film! Let Chinese films shine in Hollywood and bring glory to the Chinese people! Hahahaha... ..." The host's voice was like taking a stimulant. It was high-pitched and powerful, and the speed was fast. The degree of partiality for Wang Zichen surpassed any guest, and anyone could hear it.

The two were silent for a long time, until the next group of guests appeared, Xiaomei yelled, "Ah! My little Chenchen! Who is the vixen next to him?"

Zhuo Xiran wants to ask this question more than Xiaomei, who is that woman...?

From the outside, this woman is a completely different type from Bai Ling. Bai Ling is a glamorous queen, and standing with Wang Zichen has the same aura as him.And this woman named Mina looks noble and elegant, gentle and quiet, I feel sorry for her, she is so beautiful that she is not human!It's clearly a fairy descending to the mortal world!Standing next to Wang Zichen, he looked like a small bird, shy and pleasant, and the most unacceptable thing was that these two people standing together were really a damn good match!

She wore a snow-white gauze dress, light brown shawl and curly hair, and a silver decorative chain in the shape of thorns around her forehead. Coupled with her porcelain white and transparent skin, she looked like a Greek goddess. Beside Wang Zichen in a simple black suit, the two are like a prince and princess from a fairy tale, so beautiful that people dare not look directly at them...

"Ahh! Who is that! Isn't he with Bai Ling? Where is Bai Ling? Bai Ling is better than this woman! No way! My heart is broken!" Xiaomei shook Zhuo Xiran vigorously in anxiety .

Zhuo Xiran could tell that Xiaomei was talking ironically, the sour water produced by jealousy was almost comparable to the Pacific Ocean.

Zhuo Xiran's brains were almost blown out by him, he pushed Xiaomei, "Calm down, maybe because Bai Ling is not in China, the young model he found temporarily will be his girlfriend, many male stars do this .”

"you sure?"

Afraid that he would shake her again, Zhuo Xiran nodded.

Xiaomei's bitter face immediately stretched out, "You are right, maybe you are a young model, haha."

Zhuo Xiran was relatively speechless about Xiaomei's emotional ups and downs.Xiaomei grabbed a handful of popcorn and ate it. He looked at the TV and said, "But this woman is so beautiful. You know that men are animals with lower body parts. How could they have no idea when they see a beautiful woman? Just ask our little Chenchen to ask for it." Seeing the essence of people through beautiful things, don't be confused! Well...my little Chenchen... Hey, Wei Qi, Wei Qi is here! Why is Wei Qi always alone every time he attends? He hasn't been rumored to have an affair with a woman so far, do you think he is gay?"

Zhuo Xiran looked at the TV, wearing a small silver-gray suit with black trim, paired with a pair of black cropped pants, white socks, and black leather shoes, he looked trendy and classy. He is already in his 30s, and his gestures are more tasteful. , the smiling face is very friendly, a little provocative, and a bit cynical and yuppie. With this face, he has conquered thousands of female fans and the hearts of the judges. He is a well-deserved leader in the Chinese film industry. A professional actor.

But now, Zhuo Xiran didn't react at all when he saw Wei Qi, his eyes had already penetrated the TV and looked into the distance, all he could think about was the picture of Wang Zichen standing with that woman named Mina.

What he said to Xiaomei just now was all made up by him. He vaguely felt that this woman was not a supporting role. He thought of what Solis told him, and felt a little uncomfortable.He was a little afraid that that woman was the woman Wang Zichen swore to love forever.If that's the case, what should Bai Ling do?He knew that Bai Ling was in love with Wang Zichen!He can feel it.

Could it be that Bai Ling's going abroad has something to do with this secret woman?Zhuo Xiran clenched her hands, thinking that she should call Bai Ling to take care of Bai Ling, maybe she is very sad and needs someone to care for her!

The subsequent award ceremony was as everyone predicted, and "The Mark of Sin-Holy War" became the biggest winner.

One piece won 9 awards, including:

Best Film: "Mark of Sin - Jihad" (director, producer, screenwriter on stage to accept the award)

Best Director: Samael (USA)

Best Actor: Wei Qi

Best Supporting Actress: Gu Qianyi

Best Original Screenplay: "The Mark of Sin - Jihad" by Wang Zichen.

Best Screenplay: "The Mark of Sin-Jihad" Wang Zichen and Qiao Bo'an (USA)

Best Art Direction: Edmund Hall (English)

Best Visual Effects: Bill Clinton (US)

Best Costume Design: Zhang Jiayu (Solis)

Another "Youth" starring Wei Qi won only one award for best adapted screenplay.

The best song was "Millennium" sung by Han Yunxiao in "Legend of the White Snake".

Bai Ling, the songwriter and singer of the theme song "Black Rose" of "The Seal of Sin - Jihad", was unable to attend the award ceremony because of important matters. The media felt that this was destined, and guessed that she might have predicted that she would lose It was Cheng Minghan who made excuses not to attend.

Although "Black Rose" lost to "Millennium", it did not affect the status of this song in the hearts of fans at all. After all, it was the champion single of the Rock chart in the first half of last year.It is fundamentally different from "Millennium", which is purely tailor-made for movies, and it is reasonable that it did not win the award.

After the party, Han Yunxiao did not attend the company's celebration banquet, but asked his brothers to go to the house for a night of high.

Zhuo Xiran spent the night at Han Yunxiao's house and did not return home until the next morning.

At about 9 o'clock, sister Mei called him to urge him to go to the set, and then he remembered that there were a few sets of "Emperor Yongle" to be filmed today, and he ran to the set without washing his hair or face.

To his surprise, Wei Qi happened to be making a cameo appearance for this film today. It was already afternoon when he finished filming, but Wei Qi never left the set and watched the whole process.

When Zhuo Xiran finished removing her make-up and was about to leave, she saw Wei Qi outside the door. Wei Qi was leaning on the window sill and smiled at him, "Xiran, would you like to have a cup of coffee together?"

Zhuo Xiran was quite surprised. Although they were in the same company, they didn't know each other well enough to drink coffee like friends, right?But the identity and status of the other party is there. Just now, he won another actor, and he can't refuse others. He nodded, "Okay, where should we go for a drink?"

"It's right here." He stepped aside, two cups of coffee were placed on the window sill, he opened the window to let the breeze blow in, and stretched out his hand to signal him to go.

Zhuo Xiran walked over, Wei Qi picked up the coffee and handed it to him, said with a smile: "I saw you here, so I just came to see you, it's not a big deal."

"Oh..." Zhuo Xiran took a sip of coffee, and was somewhat nervous being with Wei Qi. After all, I have admired him for so many years, and it is not so easy to easily erase the friendship built up over the years.

"I'm really sorry that you were replaced in "Youth" last time, and I solemnly apologize to you now."

Zhuo Xiran was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wei Qi to bring up this matter, no matter what, the film emperor himself apologized, this face should be given.Just how long has it been?Why did you suddenly think of apologizing to him?

Zhuo Xiran scratched her temple, "It's okay, it's over."

Wei Qi rested his elbows on the window sill, looked out of the window, and smiled: "Thank you, you can forgive me, which means a lot to me. We are colleagues in the same company now. Some things have been discussed. It will be convenient for everyone in the future." .”

Zhuo Xiran pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.

Wei Qi was more at ease, and didn't care that Zhuo Xiran was not good at talking. He glanced at Zhuo Xiran, "Xiran, if we have time, we can chat about acting, promote each other, and encourage learning."

Gentle as Wei Qi, as long as he smiles, no one can resist his personal charm, there is a feeling of stability that is convincing, it is this temperament that has fascinated Zhuo Xiran for more than ten years.

But Zhuo Xiran, who has experienced some things, dare not relax his vigilance towards Wei Qi.Wei Qi seems to have a collection habit, especially obsessed with European things. When he first saw his house, he started that unbearable nightmare.To deal with this person, the first thing is not to let him know where his house is.If this danger can be shielded, Wei Qi is actually quite a good person, right?

Zhuo Xiran smiled and said: "You are too polite, I should learn from you."

"Then we will be friends from now on?" Wei Qi laughed twice.

Zhuo Xiran also laughed.

Wei Qi looked at the script in Zhuo Xiran's hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiran, come on! You will definitely be the best actor in the future, I am optimistic about you!"

For some reason, Zhuo Xiran couldn't relax with Wei Qi.For a person like myself who would count money for someone else who sold him, this situation was really the first.

Zhuo Xiran scratched her head in embarrassment, "Actor or something..."

"Come on, you can do it!" Wei Qi smiled, "Don't just stand there, the coffee is not good when it's cold, I made it myself."

"En." Zhuo Xiran picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Chatting with Wei Qi is actually very enjoyable. He knows a lot and is eloquent. Coupled with his unique voice and charming attitude, it is easy for people to be attracted to him until they enter a state of ecstasy.

"The gods, angels, demons, and undead described in myths are actually people's imaginations and are not true and accurate. Through years of research, I discovered a more rigorous set of demon laws."

Half an hour later, they didn't know where they talked about religion, theology, and Western legends.Wei Qi's knowledge in this area is not so deep, Zhuo Xiran listened engrossed, every cell in his body was mobilized, he swallowed, and asked: "What law?"

"Actually... I've seen a real demon!" Wei Qi said mysteriously.

What? !Wei Qi has seen demons too? ! ! !Zhuo Xiran's heart was suddenly lifted into his throat, and he stammered and asked, "You, are you telling the truth?"

"Yeah, that's why I'm so sure of my research." Wei Qi said.

Zhuo Xiran's curiosity was fully aroused, and he hurriedly asked: "What did Mr. Wei research? What did the demon you saw look like?" Could it be that they saw the same person?

Wei Qi put his hand on his chin and looked at him with a smile: "Every demon looks different, most of them are ugly, and there are only a handful of beautiful ones. The ones I met are the most beautiful demons in the world."

Zhuo Xiran's heart beat wildly, the other party's name almost blurted out, they met the same demon, it must be, did Wei Qi know that Wang Zichen was a demon?Wang Zichen... Could it be that he also signed a contract with Wei Qi?The changes on Zhuo Xiran's face were very exciting, Wei Qi chuckled twice, and continued: "You must have heard of such things as the devil's contract, right?"

Zhuo Xiran's body shuddered, and he nodded vigorously.

"After years of research, I found out that there are two kinds of devil contracts, one is the soul contract, and the other is the body contract. The body contract is also called the slave contract. Released. The soul of the deceased after death can still be chosen by the god of hell whether he will be reincarnated or go to purgatory to suffer.”

He glanced at Zhuo Xiran's trembling shoulders, smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, and continued: "The soul contract... is the cruelest and most terrifying demon contract. Once signed, when death comes and the body dies, the soul will be imprisoned by the demon forever." , has nothing to do with reincarnation, which is what humans often say, you can’t be reborn forever." He patted Zhuo Xiran on the shoulder: "Xiran, are you cold? Why are you shaking like this? Are you afraid? You didn't sign a contract with the devil, what are you afraid of?"

He shrugged and comforted: "In fact, the devil's contract is not so terrible. Most demons are only allowed to sign physical contracts with people. Because demons also have rules, they are not allowed to sign double contracts, and sign contracts with people." With a physical contract, even after death, the soul is free, so I conclude that there are not a few human beings who have signed physical contracts with demons in this world."

Zhuo Xiran glanced at Wei Qi with a strange expression, and he stammered and asked: "For example, what if someone...signed a double contract with the devil?"

Wei Qi tilted his head and thought for a while, "This is absolutely impossible, no demon can do this..." He paused, and then said: "Except for the great demon king Lucifer!"

"Lu, lucifer?" Who is that?What is his relationship with Wang Zichen?It sounds scary!Zhuo Xiran thought tremblingly.

"That's right, Lucifer, he is the most terrifying and evil demon in the world. It would be a great honor for anyone to sign a contract with him, because he never signs a contract with anyone."

"But, but what if he signed a contract with someone?" Zhuo Xiran was confused, because what Wei Qi said was similar to his own situation.

"Isn't this hard to explain? It's obvious that you want the other party to die without a whole body. You must hate the other party to the bone. Otherwise, why sign a double contract with someone? For human beings, there will be no more miserable end than this in the world. gone."

Zhuo Xiran seemed to be struck by lightning, his eyes were straightened, and his whole body was stiff.

Wei Qi looked at him worriedly, "Hey, Xiran, what's wrong with you? You won't be scared? I'm kidding you, don't take it seriously, how can there be any devil in this world? You are too kind Did you lie?" He glanced at his watch, "Oh, it's about this time, I have a dinner later, let's go first, let's talk another day!"

Wei Qi patted Zhuo Xiran on the shoulder, turned and left.

It took Zhuo Xiran who was poked in place for a long time to recover. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, remembered Wei Qi's last words, and let out a long breath.

It turned out to be a joke...Damn it, it made him worry for nothing.

But luckily it was just a joke, probably because Wei Qi described it too much like himself, so even if Zhuo Xiran knew that the other party was joking with him, he was still a little anxious.
