happy this month

A coffee shop on the ground floor of Guang'an Building on Monday.

On weekdays, most of the customers are white-collar workers working in the building, lyrical English songs are flowing slowly, and the voices of customers' conversations are involuntarily lowered.

At this time, the wind chime on the door of the coffee shop jingled, and a tall and thin young man came in.

Wearing light blue jeans, a white T-shirt with a simple print, without any jewelry, clean and refreshing, like a student who is still in school.

Sitting by the door were two female white-collar workers in the office building. One noticed the young man, her eyes lit up, and she whispered to her companion, "Look behind you."

"!! So handsome... the star of the media company upstairs?"

"Yeah, I've seen him several times."

"What's your name? Is it a trainee?"

"My name is An Jiayue, she seems to be a young actor."

"An Jiayue? I've never heard of this name. What kind of play has she acted in?"

"I am not sure as well……"

The young man ignored these discussions, walked straight in, found the old seat, sat down on the single chair opposite Zhang Yong, and smiled: "Brother Yong."

Zhang Yong likes to drink American style, so he ordered a cup for him and asked the waiter to charge it to the company's account.

"Jiayue, that's amazing. I didn't expect you to be able to steal the leading role from Xiaowei."

An Jiayue's smile faltered, her eyebrows drooped: "I'm sorry, I refused, but Director He insisted on me acting... If Xiao Wei is unhappy, brother Yong, you can talk to Director He. It doesn't matter if I don't act."

Zhang Yong put down his coffee cup: "I have a problem. What are we talking about? Director He sent all the scripts. Don't worry, you and Xiaowei are both brought by me. It doesn't matter whoever chooses, Xiaowei doesn't have any emotions." , if you really want to, I’ll just go and appease you.”

An Jiayue was very disappointed.

Yu Wei is too disappointing, how can he have no emotions?

Originally, he just wanted to convince He Xinchen, but he didn't want to act in a play directed by He Xinchen!

After He Xinchen made a decision on him, he said "the contract will be delivered to your company on Monday" and left, as if he wanted to rush back to the company to deal with the matter, without giving him a chance to refuse at all.

An Jiayue realized that she had made a very wrong choice.

He should have run away the moment he saw He Xinchen, instead of being impulsive, or more foresighted, and given up on entering the entertainment industry when he learned the truth and broke up, maybe they would never see each other again.

It's a pity that even if a person has all kinds of abilities, he can't match the destiny in the end.

His former ex-boyfriend became his big director, and he couldn't afford to offend him, nor could he hide from him.

"I called you here today to blame you for stealing Xiaowei's role." Zhang Yong handed over a contract, "Producer Xue sent someone to send the contract, I have read it, there is no problem, you can take a look again, if it suits you Sign it."

An Jiayue thanked and took it, flipped through it casually, and was surprised to see that the salary was only 200 million.

After the company shares and taxes are deducted, it is estimated that there are only 30 million left in his hands.

For an actor like him, it's a normal starring price, but as He Xinchen, he thought that the salary would be higher than the industry standard.

Now that the matter has come to this point, if he refuses, he is afraid that he will be scolded severely by Zhang Yong and kicked out by Ma Tao.

An Jiayue reluctantly took Zhang Yong's pen and signed his name on the last page, feeling like she was signing a contract of sale.

"Oh, and more." Zhang Yong rummaged in his bag for a while, took out a box of ointment, and handed it over, "Producer Xue said that he saw that you were injured that day, so he sent an ointment along with the contract, saying It is especially effective for bruises."

An Jiayue was full of suspicion, how did Xue Zhenyu know that he was injured?Most of them were instructed by He Xinchen.

Could it be that the zombie acting skills of Yu Wei and others persuaded He Xinchen's lust?Find out that he is better?

It's been so many years since we've been separated, so why did you come here so early?You don't think that a piece of ointment can make him feel grateful, do you?You don't have to endure this kind of deliberate attention during the filming, do you?

An Jiayue took the ointment with a look of disgust.

Fortunately, the filming period is not long, I only hope that he can survive the two months under He Xinchen's command.

The crew's work efficiency was extremely high, and the script was sent to him as soon as the contract was sent out.

An Jiayue carefully read it from beginning to end.

The movie is called "Happy Heart", the plot line is simple and clear, the main character is Chi Le, who lost his eyesight due to a car accident when he was a child, and lost his parents, and lives alone with the support and scholarship from his relatives. , and then use flashbacks to recall how he changed from a poor student with nothing to an excellent singer whose songs are sung all over the world.

It should be a heartwarming and inspirational movie, suitable for all ages. If it is well shot, it will earn word of mouth and box office.

An Jiayue was quite surprised that He Xinchen made this kind of theme as his debut work. Does this pampered young master really understand the bitterness and helplessness of ordinary people or even the low-level people?Judging from all the things they had in the past, He Xinchen should not be able to empathize with them.

Expect a nondescript bad movie.

Forget it, the contract is signed, it's useless to think about it.

One month before joining the group, the company stopped all his work, even though he didn't have much work at first.

An Jiayue was not idle. Producer Xue Da personally added him as a friend one day, and sent him the preparations before joining the group:

He needs to lose five catties in order to fit the role better.

In fact, his figure was already thin, and if he lost five catties, the muscles he had worked so hard to build over the years would definitely go to waste.

It's all bad before the filming starts.

But compared to this, what bothered him more was that Xue Zhenyu was surprisingly annoying:

[Jiayue, add our Director He. ] and pushed He Xinchen's WeChat business card.

"..."

He Xinchen had been blocked by him a long time ago, but An Jiayue reluctantly added the producer's words. Fortunately, He Xinchen didn't chat with him.

Xue Zhenyu gossiped again: [Jiayue, do you have a date now? ]

[……No. ]

[Really do not have? ]

[real. ]

[Yes, concentrate on your work, come on! ]

An Jiayue was speechless.

How could this high-ranking producer be so free that he not only arranges his work personally, but also cares about the emotional state of an unknown young actor?

Most likely it was He Xinchen's instruction.

For the time being, they can only wait for the new movie to start filming, which means that there is no money in the account for the time being, so An Jiayue has been living carefully during this time.

The most cost-effective way is, of course, to rub it in vain.

"Jiayue, this is the third one you've eaten." Standing behind the stove, Zhu Xinglei feigned anger and said, "This shop is a small business, and we don't accept credit."

An Jiayue took a big bite of the hot salted egg yolk biscuits, her cheeks puffed up: "Are you brother?"

"Brothers will settle accounts, quickly bring the money, I've been saving money recently, and plan to buy a car."

An Jiayue took out her mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay: "Here, a 15 yuan BMW voucher."

Zhu Xinglei laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits: "With this 'huge sum', who would buy a BMW instead of a Ferrari?"

An Jiayue laughed so hard that she almost choked on the biscuits.

Zhu Xinglei's family saved enough money last year, rented a small storefront of more than ten square meters, opened a small restaurant in the back street of the Film Academy, and expanded their business, selling sesame seed buns and soy milk in the morning, and hired a chef to cook vegetables at noon and evening.Although he did not become the big owner of a chain store, he has a stable store in a lively location, and his income is much more substantial than before.

"Don't worry about eating by yourself, bring some back for uncle." Zhu Xinglei packed three sesame seed cakes and stuffed them for him, "Do you know if you can make money for filming and get rewarded? I'm still waiting for you to introduce female stars to me."

An Jiayue smiled and asked, "Don't you know someone? Dai Lin is a female star."

Zhu Xinglei waved his hand embarrassingly: "Hey, she is so famous now, how can she still remember me, I am not good enough for her. I don't ask much, just be as stupid as you."

"..." An Jiayue stretched out her claws to pinch his thick arm, "Where did I learn the words! Tell you, I'm about to get angry!"

Zhu Xinglei was pinched and yelled: "What I said is the truth! Ouch! Okay, okay, stop talking! I'm sorry!"

An Jiayue let off steam and ate the biscuits, looted the free pickled mustard from Zhu Xinglei's store, went home and cooked a pot of porridge, drank two bowls, and left the rest with some side dishes for his father's dinner.

Save money and lose weight.

After one month, he overfulfilled the task and lost six catties.

Zhang Yong has been taking other artists these days and has never met him. When he came to his house today, he was shocked when he first saw him: "Why are you so thin?"

An Jiayue touched her face, and found that she had lost a few ounces of flesh, but he looked in the mirror, and he was not exaggeratedly thin, but the muscles on his body were all reduced, and his figure became thinner and taller, looking much younger. More like the freshman in the script.

"It's okay, I will go to the gym after filming this movie."

"Well, did you join the group the day after tomorrow? Have you packed your things?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Tomorrow." An Jiayue corrected his mistake calmly, "It's packed, just a suitcase."

"Oh, join the group tomorrow." Zhang Yong said casually, "If you have less luggage, you can take a taxi by yourself, and the company will reimburse you for the fare."

"Well." He didn't expect the company to send a car either.

Zhang Yong took out the purpose of this trip from his bag - a stack of stamped contracts: "Here, yours."

Performing arts contracts are usually made in triplicate, one for the crew, one for the company, and one for him.I have read the terms of content before, An Jiayue didn't open it, and threw it on the coffee table casually: "Thank you, Brother Yong, please send it to me specially, next time I will go to the company to get it myself."

Zhang Yong rubbed his index finger under his nose, and looked around the old furnishings in the house with his eyes: "Jiayue, you should have some savings now, right? Are you thinking about changing houses? The apartment near the company is only three or four square meters Wan, the conditions are much stronger than yours."

"My dad has an old illness and has to take medicine all the time. The imported ones are quite expensive. I haven't saved much savings, and I'm used to living here, so I won't move."

"Oh..." Zhang Yong's tone was noncommittal.

An Jiayue tilted her head: "Brother Yong, is there anything else?"

Normally, Zhang Yong would not personally deliver the contract to him, nor would he stay at his house, there must be other purposes.

"Then what, Jiayue, I went to a dinner party a while ago, and there was a producer surnamed Huang who was very interested in you, do you remember?"

An Jiayue had the impression: "I remember, what's wrong?"

"He's planning his next film. The lineup is strong and the funds are sufficient. The filming will start at the end of the year. It's just right for you to take over the film. Producer Huang intends to let you be the male lead."

This is a good thing, An Jiayue asked: "What kind of role? When is the audition?" He even acted in He Xinchen's movie, so what are you afraid of? Let He Xinchen regret going.

Zhang Yong looked hesitant: "You don't need an audition."

"No need? Did you just order me?" An Jiayue was surprised.

"Not really... Anyway, Producer Huang wants to meet and have a meal with you. If you establish a good relationship with him and satisfy him, you will be the protagonist of the next movie."

An Jiayue was not stupid, she understood in an instant.

"Forget it, Brother Yong." He smiled faintly, "I'm not short of money for this."

"Then have a meal first, it's nothing, it's normal, it shows that people appreciate you." Zhang Yong patted him on the shoulder, "Mr. It means that if you don’t want to, you can’t be forced.”

Aren't you forcing me right now?An Jiayue held back her breath: "Well, I see, when I'm free."

Yueyue, danger!

("Farewell My Concubine" should be like a thunderbolt, quoting the original line: No matter how capable a person is, they can't match the destiny.)
