born unlucky star
Chapter 21
"Huang Wenshan? I..." Ji Tianyou hesitated.
Huang Wenshan is a new film director in recent years. A few years ago, he made a small-budget film "Street Corner" that attracted the attention of insiders and was later recognized by investors.His films have a certain degree of literary and ideological quality, with clever entry points and good box office results. He has won many awards in recent years.
With such a temptation in front of him, even Ji Tianyou, who only wanted to focus on singing, was inevitably tempted.
As if seeing what Ji Tianyou was thinking, Yang Xiuyu just smiled gently and said, "I was also entrusted by him to help keep an eye out for suitable candidates. You might as well think about it, you should be able to do that role."
"Can you let me think about it?" Ji Tianyou tightened the hem of his clothes a little nervously.
"Of course." Yang Xiuyu said, and suddenly stretched out his right hand to Ji Tianyou, "Give me the phone."
"Well, good..." Ji Tianyou put the phone in his palm.
Yang Xiuyu's hands were also slender, but compared to Liang Pei's, they were fairer.He took the phone, pressed a series of numbers, and then dialed, and suddenly music sounded somewhere.
He shook his cell phone that was ringing, and handed Ji Tianyou's cell phone back, with a smile in his gentle and quiet eyes: "If you have any questions, you can call me."
"Thank you, brother..." Ji Tianyou murmured as if in a dream.
"You're welcome." Hearing the thanks, Yang Xiuyu's eyes darkened for a moment, then brightened again, "Remember to answer me as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Ji Tianyou nodded vigorously.
It’s not long since DO released their film, not to mention the dismal sales of their last album, the company currently has no plans to let them continue producing films.On the contrary, it was Yu Chengfei, after he became popular because of "Song of Leaping", he was connected to two TV dramas, both of whom starred in the male lead.
Kelvin and Qin Ao are not interested in acting, they mainly focus on commercial performances and print advertisements, and they have been looking for inspiration for their next album.
Just when Ji Tianyou was still considering the opportunity Yang Xiuyu offered him, a charity reception threw him into even greater chaos.
***
Holding the goblet in a similar manner, Ji Tianyou leaned against the balcony, sighed, and looked into the hall.
There is a small orchestra playing on the stage, and the music is melodious.People in the hall gathered and chatted in twos and threes, with elegant and noble postures.
Even he himself changed into a slightly more formal attire because he was going to attend such an occasion, only the indigo shirt clamored for his true nature inside the suit.
This is a reception hosted by a famous philanthropist in this city, bringing together many celebrities and giants.Originally, with DO's current reputation and popularity, he was not qualified to enter such an occasion at all, but Lu Hao still won the opportunity and told them to make more high-class people before coming to broaden their network.
From the bottom of his heart, Ji Tianyou was not willing to curry favor with anyone.So from the moment he came here, he just pretended to have a short conversation with some so-called high-class people, and then he avoided the crowd far away and found a clean place to stay.
But it was clear that the reality was not what he wanted.
He had just taken a sip of the wine in his glass when someone noticed this small corner separated by curtains and walked over.
"Hello." The visitor smiled politely at him.
Ji Tianyou subconsciously stood up straight, and also acted like a gentleman: "Hello."
"I don't seem to have seen you before..." The visitor had a smile on his lips, and looked at Ji Tianyou, "Is this the first time you come to this kind of reception?"
Ji Tianyou was made a little stiff by his sweeping gaze: "Yes..."
The man laughed "hehe" twice, walked to him nonchalantly, and put his hands on the edge of the terrace: "If I remember correctly, you are Huacheng's artist?"
"Yes." Remembering Lu Hao's advice, he tried his best to say it naturally, "I'm Huacheng's newcomer, the lead singer of DriftingOnes, Ji Tianyou."
The man raised his eyebrows, and looked at him with interest: "It's DO's lead singer... I just said why does it look so familiar."
"This is my business card." He handed a business card, Ji Tianyou took it, looked down, his eyes widened in shock, "So it's Deng Dong!" The person in front of him was actually the director of Yingxiang Records , Dunno!
The two held hands in the air, but Dun Nuo gently rubbed the back of Ji Tianyou's hand with his thumb as if he didn't care about it: "I've heard your songs before, and your voice is very good."
"Really? Thank you Deng Dong."
Feeling his touch, Ji Tianyou quickly withdrew his hand, and the other party didn't force him to stay, but just smiled meaningfully: "But your new EP doesn't seem to be doing very well..."
Hearing the other party mention his sore spot, Ji Tianyou forced a smile: "It was indeed a little accident."
Dun Nuo suddenly approached Ji Tianyou, and the distance between the two was only a dozen centimeters: "Are you free to have a meal together? In a few months, it will be the annual Chinese music festival [Note], and I know several judges very well." ...I think we can have a good chat..."
His breath was very close, and there was fierceness and temptation hidden in his eyes.
No matter how stupid he was, after hearing his ambiguous and suggestive words, it was impossible for Ji Tianyou not to understand what he meant.Ji Tianyou was forced to lean back slightly, half annoyed and half embarrassed, and just about to say something, a crisp voice suddenly sounded:
"Uncle Deng! Are you here?"
Dun Nuo straightened up, and the displeasure swept away from his eyebrows: "It's Xiaoman!"
The curtain was lifted, and a woman in a white lace dress with off-the-shoulder came over.Seeing that Ji Tianyou was also there, she smiled cheerfully: "So Tianyou is also here!"
Ji Tianyou only felt that he had met a savior. Although he didn't know how the other party knew him, he still waved and smiled pretending to be familiar: "Yes, come out to get some air."
The appearance of that woman made the originally heavy air lively and relaxed.Her almond eyes were slightly curved, and she looked innocent: "What are Uncle Deng and Tianyou talking about?"
"Let's talk about music." Dun Nuo smiled, "But since you're here, I'd better step aside and not bother you."
Before leaving, he turned his head and whispered in Ji Tianyou's ear, "Remember to contact me when you are free."
Watching him leave, Ji Tianyou heaved a sigh of relief, regardless of whether the woman was still there.
The woman looked at him and burst out laughing, the respect she had just lost in her words: "Have Dun Nuo invited you to dinner?"
"Eh? How do you know?" Ji Tianyou was half nervous and half curious.
"Dun Nuo is 'famous'..." The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, "God bless, you have to be careful. It's not a good thing to be targeted by him... why don't you talk to Brother Liang, he can handle it. "
"You are...Miss Schumann?" She finally recalled Ji Tianyou's memory when she said "Brother Liang", "The daughter of the director of Dikele Hotel Group?"
"I just remember me now..." Schumann pouted dissatisfiedly, "By the way, why didn't Brother Liang come?"
"Should he come?" Ji Tianyou suddenly heard the sound of his heart beating.
"Yeah, I remember he was also on the invitation list, why didn't he come..." Schumann frowned puzzled, thought for a while, and quickly gave up the topic, "Forget it, he's coming It doesn't matter if you don't come. But seriously, God bless, you'd better tell him about Dunno!"
"What are you talking to him about?" Ji Tianyou's voice was muffled.
"Of course I asked him to help you solve it!" Schumann said casually, "You two have such a good relationship, what if he doesn't help you solve it?"
"He and I... have a good relationship?" Ji Tianyou looked at her in astonishment.
Schumann nodded as a matter of course: "If you have a bad relationship, why would you go to dinner together? Brother Liang is the worst person to get close to, and he doesn't have a good face towards strangers."
"Really..." Ji Tianyou lowered his eyes and muttered to himself.
"But luckily you have a good relationship, and you have him protecting you. Otherwise..." Schumann curled his lips and looked into the distance, "If you are in this circle, if you don't have a backer, it may be difficult to escape. Unless they are particularly strong or popular, but... How many people are not promoted? If you really want to fight in a proper manner, you will not be recognized at all in less than ten years, and few people can endure loneliness. "
She seemed to be talking calmly, but Ji Tianyou was terrified when she heard it.It's not that he didn't know that there were unspoken rules before, but when it really happened to him, it was not as easy to deal with as he imagined.Dun Nuo's words before he left seemed to be bewitching in his ears, like the dark and damp breath of a snake.
He asked himself: Can you stand loneliness?
After more than ten years in obscurity and tepidity, there are many newcomers around him, but he is always curled up in a corner.No status, no rights, anyone like Dun Nuo can crush himself to death in the palm of his hand.Perhaps, I will be forced to do many things against my will, including selling my body.
"There are quite a few stars who climbed onto the producer's bed in order to be famous! When you climb up, come and ask me if I will alienate you!"
What Yu Chengfei once said suddenly appeared in his mind.Ji Tianyou was shocked and shook his head.
No, he would never do those things for the sake of fame and status.He wants to be popular!Only when you are popular can you survive in this circle, and you can not be threatened by others, and you don't need to seek shelter from others!
"Miss Schumann, thank you." Ji Tianyou bowed slightly to Schumann as if he had made up his mind.
"You don't need to thank me." Schumann thought he was thanking me for what happened just now, and raised his eyebrows, "But if you really want to thank me, remember to remind Brother Liang to let him come and play with me. I haven't seen him for a long time..."
Her words were coquettish, and Ji Tianyou vaguely guessed her intentions, but he couldn't reveal the current situation of himself and Liang Pei, so he could only vaguely say: "Well, I will convey it when I have a chance."
"God bless, you are such a good man!" Schumann winked at him slyly.
Ji Tianyou's heart was heavy, but a smile appeared on his face.
