Chapter 23 Chapter 23

"Brother, do you really want to sign Cheng Hebai? What do you want him to do, film and television? Can he act?"

"In the end, he still declined. The rejection was more straightforward than the last time you chose the keyboard player." Shao Weiming laughed at himself, clapped his hands in a neutral manner, and brushed off the melon seeds on the top, just like throwing away a joke of.

"He refused?" Shao Weiwei's already sharp voice raised another octave, and it was obvious that her focus had changed again.During the selection of keyboard players, she could see that this kid was not cooperating. At that time, she thought that this young man didn't want to do pop music at most, but now she suspects that Cheng Hebai is simply trying to compete with them.

"Didn't he say why?" Shao Lirong sat with his nephew and niece in a clean tea house in Yaju, talking about family affection, and everyone knew that work was something that couldn't be left behind. "Now there is no young man who doesn't want to enter the entertainment circle, besides he..."

Shao Lirong chuckled twice, picked up the elegant pottery cup and took a sip.The reason why he suddenly came to a sudden stop and didn't go on to say it was because he was in charge of media production in Hongxin Group, and all the stars were leftovers from his pots and pans, so there was no need to open his mouth to praise a small young.

Shao Weiming went to take out cigarettes in his pocket for the seventh time, but was stopped by Shao Weiwei's hand.Smoking and fire were banned in the wooden house in the mountain, no matter how powerful the two juniors were, they would not dare to blatantly rule the lawless on the uncle's land.Shao Weiwei glanced at Shao Weiming's dull and dissatisfied expression, and asked sharply, "Are you serious?"

"Brother, since he clearly doesn't want to see our Hongxin Performing Arts, why is he willing to ask him to cooperate?" Shao Weiwei showed a haughty attitude, with an expression of where she came from and where she went, vowing not to turn back, even herself I once took a fancy to him and threw it to Siberia: "Since he is so assertive, let him see who is in charge in Yaju. It is just a matter of saying that it is a matter of wanting him to lose his job." .”

Shao Weiming glanced at Shao Weiwei, he knew this sister too well, if he was direct with her, she would be more direct than others, if he fought hard with her, she would be more decisive.Whoever makes her uncomfortable, she will immediately repay the eye with an eye.

Looking at the angry expressions of his nephew and niece, Shao Lirong knocked on the table tolerantly, and said casually with both hands on the armrest of the grand master's chair: "A few days ago, your uncle talked about the salary with Emperor Tan, I think you should learn a little bit."

"Let me ask you two, if the director of the script of "Tiger Fight" doesn't back down, and the conversation with Tan Yue doesn't end, what will happen?"

Shao Weiwei said angrily: "Consequence? If Tan Dapai doesn't act, he won't act. With so many actors in my brother's hands, he can't find a suitable one to be Hu Junshan? Anyway, Boss Du is determined to praise Zhen Chun. The project If he gets on the horse, he will still be able to withdraw his capital."

"Then if we listen to him once, Tan Yue, if he says he's not satisfied, I'll change it. Weiwei, do you feel in your heart that I'm submissive in order to spare him, Uncle?"

Shao Weiwei remained silent.No matter how vigorous and resolute she is, she is sharp and decisive, and with all her courage, she would not dare to speak out about her elders' faults.But the current situation is good. Tan Yue went out on location, so he sent one of his assistants to sharpen the knife with Hongxin all day long, whimpering and saying that this is not good and that is not good. Don't blame Tan Yue for looking dissatisfied and quitting.

This is clearly a fox pretending to be a tiger, sweeping their Hongxin's face.For a company as big as Hongxin, to be fooled by a few words from an assistant of a "best actor"?

"Weiwei, have you ever thought that if "Tiger Fight" signed Tan Yue, this loss would be nothing." Shao Lirong threw down the pottery cup with half a cup of water left, and did not hear the tea ceremony outside the window. The man hastily picked up his glass and emptied it and filled it again.

Shao Lirong looked at the two juniors and enlightened: "Boss Du and I also got through it, and said that if we really can't win the best actor, we will change. He admitted. With such psychological expectations, if Du Datou hears that we won If we decide on Tan Yue, wouldn't he be overjoyed, and when we talk about it like a lion, he will give it to us in a fart."

"Furthermore, after Tan Yue joined the group, he has to act according to the script, and he has to listen to what the director says. Who we want to praise, who we want to put in it, how we want to control the storyline and roles, no It's all a matter of one sentence. At that time, he, Tan Yue, will only eat sap and pawn our bed."

Shao Weiwei understood the meaning of Shao Lirong's question, and quickly asked: "You mean we will endure this moment, and let the little assistant jump around. At that time, we will not only have a steady stream of funds from Boss Du, but also King Tan, what is he doing today?" Toss us, and Hongxin will go back as he tosses back."

"Multiple actions at one stroke." Shao Lirong nodded, and said with a teachable smile: "Sometimes you do things in a hurry. Think about it later and take a step back. Maybe it's a better way to make progress."

Shao Weiming kept silent all the time. At this moment, he suddenly asked his sister: "Weiwei, has the announcement of AQUA's replacement come out?"

"The new keyboard player will come out as soon as he is in place. Hurry up and hurry up before Faide's announcement, saying that he is voluntarily terminating the contract, there is no contradiction. However, the gossip runs faster. Everyone inside and outside the industry knows that Faide's poaching has succeeded .” Shao Weiwei hated it.

Shao Lirong suggested as a half-bystander: "Hurry up and fry the old famous songs, put on a few more announcements or programs in the three bands, and then go to Unus in Faide to release new singles before him."

Shao Weiming nodded: "That's right, Fei De bit our city and must bring it back." After nibbling the melon seeds, Shao Weiming couldn't smoke, so he had to bite the nail of his right index finger and exchanged a penis with his uncle. Shen Shen eyes.

"Hey," Shao Weiwei, who felt that she had solved a lot of problems at once, breathed a little easier. At least this time, her brother-in-law and uncle gave her a new example of fighting with the strong. She suddenly thought of the conversation at the beginning and asked his brother Said: "Weiming, Cheng Hebai, have you figured out what to do?"

Shao Lirong made a joke: "Hongxin doesn't run a porridge shop. If you want to support someone, it's out of your uncle's business. Your father should be in charge. But in a word, don't use the company as a charity."

"Don't you all understand what I'm looking for in him?" Shao Weiming snorted and spat out the nail tip he was biting into his mouth.He quickly replayed all the scenes about Cheng Hebai in his mind, and then said leisurely: "I think this kid has drama, not only drama, but also material."

Seeing her brother's expression, Shao Weiwei frowned in disgust, like a wild cat that hadn't caught a fish but fantasized about the smell of fish.However, Shao Weiming clicked his tongue indifferently, and there was something in his words: "Don't worry, Weiwei, I have a good idea, and I'm not the master of nonsense. Besides, with the board of directors and my father around, I can still get off the rails?"

"Investment, how can you see the winners and losers so quickly. If you don't take the long-term, how will you know what you will get in the end?"

The selection of the keyboard player was to work overtime. Ling Qingyuan stayed in Yaju from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am. After work this day, Dong Cheng gave him a day off. Except for no pay, the rest was considered humane.When I got home at three or four o'clock, I slept for two or three hours before sending Cheng Lubai to school.

This morning, Ling Qingyuan was quite out of shape, tired, exhausted.The brothers and sisters were walking on the road, when a man approached, Ling Qingyuan would faintly count the wrinkles on his forehead, and when a woman approached, he would see if the spots on her face were quarter notes.My mind is full of staves, but I don't know what to say.

"Brother..." Cheng Lubai hesitated to speak, the teacher was no longer in the mood for lectures, and the students were also out of their minds.She actually has some things, and she doesn't know whether she should tell Cheng Hebai.These days, the girl saw her brother working so late every day, but insisting on accompanying her to and from school, and teaching herself so many things that she had never heard of before, her heart really melted to the bone.

Cheng Lubai saw the eyelids of the man next to him twitching, held back what he wanted to say, and couldn't bear to speak, instead he said, "Brother, go back and rest, there are only a few steps left."

Ling Qingyuan's sleepy dog ​​state was steamed by the early and scorching heat of Xia Tian, ​​it was basically a pug with his tongue sticking out, and he couldn't speak.Knowing that this music theory class is impossible, he hummed, "I'll just... send you... to school."

"Brother... why are you so lucky?" Cheng Lubai supported her brother to prevent him from bumping into passers-by, and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

"...Just you, a younger sister." Ling Qing was thinking of Cheng Hebai, and he also thought of his life without brothers and sisters, and his relatives died young: "Even if you are stupid as a pig, how can your brother treat your sister well?"

It was too hot, and the sun made Cheng Lubai sweat profusely, and even the eye sockets were foggy, making everything blurry.At the school gate, Cheng Lubai bought her brother a bottle of iced mineral water, pushed him back to rest, and told him not to suffer from heat stroke.

Cheng Lubai rubbed his eyes as he walked towards the campus, a boy from behind walked up to her quickly and asked, "Lubai, Lubai, you..."

Cheng Lubai knew from the voice that it was Zhao Shuang who was in the same grade and in a different class, so he sniffed hard: "What's the matter with you?"

"You're crying. What's the matter, what happened? I saw a drunk just now, did he bully you?" Zhao Shuang asked.

"That's my brother, show some respect. Also, stay away from me." Cheng Lubai said proudly, throwing off his steps and about to leave him.The physical strength of the adolescent girl was not as good as that of the growing boy of the same age. The latter caught up with her in two steps and grabbed her hand to prevent her from going away.

"Zhao Shuang, if you pester me again, I will call someone."

"Lu Bai, did you see the note I wrote to you? Did you see any of it? I asked you to go with me after school, why do you keep ignoring me?"

"I'm busy."

"You go with others when you are free, isn't it your brother? Why do you always go together when you can see them at home? He told you to ignore others? He told you not to play with others? Otherwise, why would you Are you ignoring people at school?"

"What's wrong with my brother coming to pick me up from school? My brother is kind, smart, understanding and considerate. Of course I'll be with him." Cheng Lu looked around Zhao Shuang with red eyes, obviously different language.

On the playground, the two chattered, causing many students passing by to point and point.Cheng Lubai is quite well-known in 66. She is beautiful, but of course she was confused and nympho for a while, surrounded by a group of messy people.Of course, she also had low self-esteem and was jealous of many female students from good families, posing, and the relationship with same-sex students was also delicate.Even girls with a lot of heart and mind use flattery to deal with her.

In the past month, with the help of her "new" brother, she has gradually become reborn.People become more introverted, the Three Views gradually deviate from the orbit of the earth according to the speed of the universe, and they begin to have a reasonable life plan.But in school, the classmates are still the same group of classmates, and the mess around them still hasn't dissipated.

"Lu Bai, you just follow suit."

"That's right, Zhao Shuang has been chasing you for so long."

"Lu Bai, in fact, don't be so picky and picky. Those who really like you are willing to pay for you."

There are more and more people pointing fingers, and those watching the excitement never want the farce to end quickly.Zhao Shuang then seemed confident: "Lu Bai, do you have time for lunch break? I invite you. Do you have any movies you want to watch? Tell me, and I'll be with you."

Cheng Lubai almost threw the word "no" at Zhao Shuang, and the latter didn't give her time to shirk and continued to show his favor: "I'll give you money if you still need it. If you want to become a star, I'll help you!"

The discussion of the students around has changed. Cheng Lubai is afraid to hear whether some people say that she is "shameless" and "daydream", and some people say that she "thinks beautifully", and whether there is something worse of……

Cheng Lubai blushed, and threw Zhao Shuang's hand away regardless, and said stubbornly: "Don't write me notes. I said I won't go with you. Don't follow me after school! I don't like you !” She slammed down these few words, turned around and broke through the crowd, and ran into the teaching building.Along the way, the surprised, curious, teasing and mischievous eyes of the students followed everywhere.

Zhao Shuang froze in place, the shame and anger of being rejected in public also stained the boy's cheeks red.He squeezed the hand that was thrown away by Cheng Lubai fiercely, with a mix of sinister, jealous, and unwillingness.The midsummer sunshine in July was like a crowd of onlookers, and he had nowhere to hide from his shadow.

After Ling Qingyuan returned home, she thought about quitting her part-time video editing job.He reckoned that in the past few days, he had saved enough money in his hands, and the boss of Yaju who ordered music was very generous, not to mention that Shao Weiming took up his rest time to listen to music yesterday, and gave him overtime wages and even tips.

Ling Qingyuan's heart thumped at the thought of Shao Weiming.He expected that the young master of the Shao family would not be easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that the young master wanted to sign a contract and buy him directly.

Generally, celebrities are the first to make a career out of hype, whether it is in the mirror or in the draft, only when they are well-known can the company sign a contract.Ling Qingyuan is not even a low-level announcement star, how much face does he have to win Shao Weiming's favor.He faintly sensed the danger—selling his life to Hongxin, he didn't even need to use his brain to think, he knew that he would have no freedom, sweat and blood, and obey others' orders like a laborer.

He previously rejected the invitation to sign a contract director, not only because he hated Hongxin's use of his name as an Oscar foreign language film director to hype, but also because he did not want to be exploited by this monopoly company and lose his creative autonomy.

Fate and coincidence repeated itself.Now Cheng Hebai is poor and has no weight in his hands, not only to earn money to support the Cheng family, but also to find out the inside story of Ling Qingyuan's death.How to avoid this time, is there any way for him to retreat?

The lack of sleep and the invasion of heat made his messy mood even more complicated.His head was so heavy that it ached, he retreated to his small room the size of his palm, rolled onto the bed and pulled the towel and quilt, and was about to fall asleep.

This sleep is the sunset.Cheng's mother walked into the small courtyard after get off work, and saw the screen door and screen window in the south chamber were open, and the wooden door was not closed. She went to look around and saw her son sleeping on the bed face inward.

"Hebai, I didn't pick up Lubai today. Don't you go to work at night?" Cheng's mother knew that this older brother had developed a habit these days, taking Lubai home after school before going to work.She also knew that the two of them would gossip when they were together, which was inexplicable.But Cheng Hebai had promised her that she would never do anything that would endanger the people, so she would feel at ease.

"..." Ling Qingyuan didn't open his eyes, always feeling exhausted.He seems to be the same as his predecessor, the director, raising funds, looking for actors, negotiating film contracts, running distribution...

No, he is Cheng Hebai.He is playing Cheng Hebai now.

Ling Qingyuan turned over and sat up, seeing that it was getting late, and Cheng's mother leaned over to look at him at the door, suddenly realized that she was going to miss the time.A T-shirt was put on over the vest, and he rushed out in a panic while arranging his clothes.

"Hebai, if you're tired, I'll pick her up. Or just wait, then the grown-up may be on his way back."

The broken asphalt road under our feet is about to be roasted by the heat of the day, and the alley is filled with the unique smell of bad sewage in summer, which makes people sick.Several commuters pushing bicycles, or women with vegetable baskets on their shoulders watched in amazement at a clean young man galloping along the dilapidated path that was more than a foot wide between the walls.

Ling Qingyuan really didn't know that he could run so well, maybe he should thank Cheng Hebaicang's body trained by the urban management, it was not strong but agile, and had good stamina.He ran for more than 20 minutes without a break, and rushed to the gate of No. 66 High School.

The summer make-up class was originally only for the third year of senior high school.Not long after class ended, the campus was completely silent.Ling Qingyuan hurriedly walked to the nearby canteen and asked the boss if he had seen the girl in the morning.

"Yes, she stood on the corner of the roof for a while. I think she was waiting for someone." The owner of the shop, who had seen Cheng Hebai who picked up his sister several times, said, "Hey, young man, it was you who was waiting. Later, a student came to her , The two said something and left together."

What did he say, what did he say, Ling Qingyuan stomped his feet anxiously.Cheng Lubai has already left, and this is the shortest way from home to school, if they are on the way back, they will not diverge.

Someone said something to her, was it a whisper between female classmates, or someone gave money to Tang to lie to her, could it be... Ling Qingyuan had a bad thought, let alone someone saying where her brother is waiting for her...

"Boss, is it a boy or a girl who came to see her?"

"Hey, let me think about it... A boy came over just after school. The two children had a quarrel for a while, and everyone around watched it. I remember. The girl didn't leave at that time. Then she stood for a while, and someone came over and said After a few sentences, the two left together. The next one was a girl."
