dark fire

A week later.

Ling Zhuo and the crew asked for half a day off to enter the studio to record another new song in the new album.

As soon as the morning scene was filmed and he took off his makeup and hair, he left the set directly, and ate lunch in the nanny's car.There was some traffic jam on the road, Zhong Yiran sent a message saying that they had arrived, Ling Zhuo replied: "There is a traffic jam, I may be a little late, not more than half an hour."

Yang Ming sat at the side flipping through the magazine, Ling Zhuo put down his phone and glanced over, and saw the photo of Lu Chixie occupying the entire page.

He asked, "What are you looking at?"

Yang Ming: "I bought "Fashion Cicele" in the morning. In this issue, there is an exclusive interview with Mr. Lu. Damn, his best sport is equestrian. He is worthy of being the prince of a rich family."

Ling Zhuo took the magazine in his hand and took a quick look. Lu Chixie mentioned in the magazine that he likes to play with horses, has his own horse farm, and raises hundreds of top-breed horses. It is not surprising to show off his wealth.

Lu Chixie also mentioned that he likes to collect all kinds of harnesses, Ling Zhuo's mind moved slightly, he thought about it for almost a week, but he didn't think of a gift for Lu Chixie, and suddenly he had an inspiration.

"Help me with my homework and see what brand of harness is better," Ling Zhuo changed his words midway, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

If Lu Chixie didn't know about it, he would say that he was not sincere.

It was 10:[-] in the recording studio, Ling Zhuo was [-] minutes later than the agreed time, and everyone else had already arrived.

Zhang Xun was also there, and he agreed to release this new album before leaving, and he was very cooperative. Qi Liangli still had an unshakable face towards him, but Zhong Yiran and Deng Lanluo had the same attitudes as usual.

Ling Zhuo didn't mention this matter, and greeted everyone with a smile, including Zhang Xun.

After that, there is not much to say, save time and start working directly.

After an hour, pause for a 10-minute break.

Liu Tao bought afternoon tea for them, and they chatted and laughed while eating, without mentioning those bad things again.

Liu Tao sat for a while and wanted to leave first. Before leaving, he called Deng Lanluo out, and told him alone if he had something to do.

Qi Liangli went to the toilet. A few minutes later, the few people who were still in the lounge heard Qi Liangli's raised voice outside, and asked Deng Lanluo: "Brother Lan, what do you mean? Why did Brother Liu say that you will join the team in December?" What about our concert tour early next year?"

Zhong Yiran went out the door, there were only Deng Lanluo and Qi Liangli in the corridor, Liu Tao had already left, Qi Liangli stared at Deng Lanluo, and said in a very aggressive tone: "Speak up!"

Zhong Yiran called the two of them by their names: "Come in and talk."

Deng Lanluo looked back at him, then turned and went into the lounge.

Qi Liangli angrily followed, and Zhong Yiran closed the door behind him.

Before Deng Lanluo could say anything, Qi Liangli spoke first: "I just came back from the bathroom, and I heard Brother Liu say that your role has been decided, and you will join the group in mid-December, and we will start the concert at the end of January. Have you finished filming the Chinese New Year in the middle of the time? And you have to do at least one month of preparations before the concert? What are you going to do when you are on the set?"

Deng Lanluo said calmly: "Shangxun's S-level customized drama, the original work is also a big ip, and the role given is four. I have auditioned, and Vice President Chen wants me to seize the opportunity."

Qi Liangli's voice suddenly rose again: "Then what about our concert?!"

Zhong Yiran looked at Deng Lanluo and asked, "Is it the drama "The Legend of Ming Rong"?"

Deng Lanluo: "Well, Brother Liu said that Vice President Chen knew people inside Shangxun, and others gave him the opportunity to sell Vice President Chen's face. Vice President Chen pushed you and me for them. At first, they thought you had a better image. It fits the role, but you and Brother Liu turned down the audition, right?"

Ling Zhuo, who had been silent all this time, frowned lightly upon hearing this.

Qi Liangli excitedly said: "Brother Ran turned it down, so you went to audition? Why is Brother Ran willing to consider for our group, but you are all so selfish? Job-hopping job-hopping, filming filming, our group still has Is it necessary to exist? It’s better to disband as soon as possible!”

Zhang Xun murmured: "...Then Ling Zhuo is also filming, whoever has a good chance would not want it."

Before Ling Zhuo said anything, Qi Liangli was about to explode with anger: "Brother Zhuo didn't go out to film during the concert, and he jumped ship without saying hello!"

Deng Lanluo said: "I will take care of both the filming and the concert, and I will not be left behind."

Qi Liangli sneered: "How can you take care of it? The crew can let you take a few days off? After the concert starts, there will be two performances a week, and you will run around the country. Do you want to rehearse in advance? Do you plan to go back on the same day and then go on stage to paddle?" Is it? Then there is any need for this concert?"

Deng Lanluo frowned, and her face turned cold: "Vice President Chen pushed the show, and Brother Liu also agreed. Since they all think it's okay, then it must be okay. I said that I can take care of both, If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”

Qi Liangli wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Zhong Yiran, who then asked Deng Lanluo: "Have you decided yet?"

Deng Lanluo: "Brother Liu just said that I passed the audition and signed the contract in a few days. To be honest, the rap and dance group has no future in domestic entertainment. It takes the actor's career for a long time. Everyone knows this well. I don't want to say more. So be it."

Zhong Yiran lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and let out a soft "huh".

Qi Liangli said angrily: "Who said that you must be an actor? What did you say before? You are a vocalist and you want to be a singer. Now? We are not from majors and rushed to act. How many people can act? And Even if you want to be an actor, do you have to be in a hurry? Can't you wait for the concert to end and wait for a few months?"

Deng Lanluo didn't explain anymore, and didn't want to tell him any more.

Zhang Xun chimed in: "The music industry is also in a downturn, and opportunities wait for no one. Concerts can be held at any time. If you miss a good role, you may not be able to reappear."

Qi Liangli glared at him angrily: "You don't even participate in the concert and plan to leave, what are you talking about here?"

Zhang Xun was probably also annoyed by Qi Liangli's attitude during this period. He had been holding back before, but now he doesn't want to bear it anymore: "Can you stop being so aggressive when you talk? Are you a child? Do things without thinking Realistic? I left as normal when the contract expired. I don’t owe you anything, right? The company asked me to cooperate with the promotion of this album before leaving and I agreed. What do you want me to do? Our company has only so few resources, monk What can I do if I am too fleshy and too little? Who is not a human and goes to a high place, can you still stay in this regiment for the rest of your life?"

"Also," he said, glancing at Ling Zhuo who hadn't said anything from the beginning to the end, and continued, "Ling Zhuo is highly praised by Director Zhou's team, why didn't you say that there was a big-produced male lead in the early morning, yes, he is better than that." We are popular, and even people outside the group say that Brother Lan robbed him of the C position for three years, but everyone knows very well that Brother Lan’s C position was set when the five of us started training together, and Brother Lan is not wronged Is it? Both he and Ling Zhuo are vocals, why did the company send Ling Zhuo to participate in that competition and not let Brother Lan go?"

Qi Liangli: "Do you have a conscience?! If Brother Zhuo hadn't become famous overnight, you and I might not have had the opportunity to make our debut with him today. Now you are here to say that the company favors him and not you, and the white-eyed wolf will not." Not like you?!"

Zhang Xun still wanted to argue, but Zhong Yiran reminded him in a cold voice: "At that time, the number of entries was limited, and Ling Zhuo was ordered by Director Zhou himself. Even if it was replaced by someone else, whoever we were, you can guarantee that you will be the same as Ling Zhuo." To win the first place and become popular? Ling Zhuo can become popular today because of his own hard work and strength, we are indeed all in his honor, do you want to deny this point?"

After being stopped by Zhong Yiran, Zhang Xun blushed, his lips moved, and said falteringly, "I didn't mean that either..."

Deng Lanluo interrupted them: "Stop talking, I don't want to quarrel over this matter at all, what's the point of arguing over such a matter?"

Staff had come knocking on the door to remind them to continue, no one moved.After a while, Ling Zhuo was the first to stand up, and said calmly, "Let's go, let's continue recording."

He went out first, Zhong Yiran followed, and then the others followed one after another.

At 04:30, the recording ended, and several people left separately.

Ling Zhuo didn't leave in a hurry, and bought a bottle of drink in front of the vending machine in the corridor outside.

Zhong Yiran said a few words to the staff, and came out a step late, Ling Zhuo was the only one left, standing in front of the vending machine in a daze.He stepped forward, helped Ling Zhuo take out the dropped Coke, and handed it to him: "Why don't you take it after you bought it?"

Ling Zhuo returned to his senses, stretched out his hand to take it, pinched it in his hand but didn't open it, stared at it for a moment, let out a light breath, and asked the people around him: "Captain, why did you turn down the chance to audition? Did the meeting schedule hit?"

Zhong Yiran also bought a bottle of drink, took a sip, and said slowly: "Forget it, I don't want to act, I'm not very interested."

Ling Zhuo: "Captain, you don't have to do this."

Zhong Yiran: "Really, I really don't want to act."

Ling Zhuo raised his eyes.

Zhong Yiran looked at him with a smile, Ling Zhuo stopped talking: "Want to have dinner together?"

Zhong Yiran nodded: "Okay."

On the set, Lu Chixie finished filming a scene and went back to the lounge for dinner.

Xiaoqian came in and told him casually: "I just heard that Zhang Xun has signed a contract with Xingyao, and his job-hopping is a foregone conclusion. Also, Zhong Yi did not accept the drama "The Legend of Ming Rong", and his teammate Deng Lanluo accepted it." .”

Lu Chixie raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't Zhong Yiran answer?"

Xiaoqian: "I don't know, maybe I'm afraid of delaying the concert."

Lu Chixie was eating casually, and after a while he asked, "Is Zhong Yiran a dancer?"

Xiaoqian: "Yes."

Lu Chixie: "He probably doesn't like the fourth TV series. Shangxun is not going to hold a hip-hop competition in the first quarter of next year. It's good for someone to get in touch with him as a mentor."

Xiaoqian: "...Brother Lu, are you feeding them resources?"

Lu Chixie smiled indifferently: "Very good, all of Teacher Ling's teammates have a bright future, he has to thank me."
