The actor's bodyguard

Chapter 24

Miao Yang's car stopped at the gate of the community, and he picked up the car card and handed it to the property management staff. The property manager swiped the card for him, returned the card to him with respectful hands, and greeted him politely: "Miao Yingdi is back."

Miao Yang nodded, the property managers knew him well, and would greet him habitually every time they saw him come back.Seeing that the front railing was raised, he was about to start the car.

"Your fans are amazing. You actually found this place. I told him you weren't here. He still didn't believe me. He had to wait here. I've been waiting for several days." The property manager said with a smile, pointing to the corner , "Look, it's still there now."

Miao Yang's residence is quite secretive, and there are very few people in the circle who know about it, only a few people who have a good relationship with him know, how could a movie fan touch this place?

"Martin, go down and have a look," Miao Yang said to Martin sitting in the co-pilot, "ask him what he wants, try to satisfy him, and persuade him to go home early. Be polite, don't scare the child."

"Okay!" Martin opened the car door and walked in the direction pointed by the property manager.

The man heard the sound, raised his head, and looked at Martin.

Martin stopped in his tracks immediately, yelling inwardly that something was wrong, how could it be Du Heng! ?Why is he here!What is he doing again! ?

Martin couldn't help looking back at Miao Yang, just in time to meet Miao Yang's gaze, he took a deep breath, his mind was spinning rapidly, how could he quietly let Du Heng leave without Miao Yang noticing? ?

Before he could come up with a countermeasure, Du Heng had already walked over quickly. When passing by Martin, Martin grabbed his arm and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing back?"

At this moment, Miao Yang had seen Du Heng. He was both surprised and delighted. He couldn't help but shouted "Du Heng" loudly, then got out of the car quickly, ran to Du Heng, looked him up and down for a while, and saw that he had nothing but dirt. A little thinner, no injuries, and then he was relieved, "What have you been doing for so long!"

Du Heng broke free from Martin's hand easily, took off a jade pendant from around his neck, and stuffed it into Miao Yang's hand, "Put it on."

"Give it to me?" Miao Yang picked it up with a smile, looked at it, put it on his lips and kissed it, "Thank you!"

Du Heng nodded, accepting Miao Yang's thanks, and then walked back to the place where he was staying, picked up the old travel bag, walked to Miao Yang's car, opened the passenger door, and sat in by himself. .

Martin stared dumbfounded, what kind of medicine does Du Heng sell in his gourd?

Miao Yang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly, and patted Martin on the shoulder, "Why are you still standing there, let's go."

The three of them returned to Miao Yang's house together. After entering, Du Heng went straight up to the second floor. He neither explained to Miao Yang what he had been doing for so long, nor why he came back suddenly, as if he had never left at all. .

Martin calmed down his horror, looked at Miao Yang who had been touching the jade pendant and smirked, with mixed feelings in his heart, "What are you going to do?"

"What should I do?" Miao Yang smiled foolishly, as if he didn't know his last name for a little sweetness.

Martin glanced at the jade pendant, and said sourly, "I like it that much? How much is it worth?"

Miao Yang smiled meaningfully, "It's because your eyesight is not enough. This is an ancient jade, and it looks like someone has been wearing it all the time. It's a good thing. I don't know where Du Heng got it."

Martin recalled the last time he talked with Du Heng about Miao Yang's physique against evil, and his heart moved. Could it be that Du Heng came back this time to give Miao Yang this jade?Jade can ward off evil spirits, especially ancient jade, which has a spirituality.Martin used to be a pure materialist, but since the incident last time, his thoughts have loosened for more than 20 years. Maybe there are really things in this world that cannot be seen by the eyes, and Gu Yu just can restrain them thing.Martin looked at the jade pendant again, and tentatively said, "Why don't you find someone to show it to you. I heard that there are people in Panjiayuan who understand this."

Miao Yang said confidently: "No, the things Du Heng brought are definitely not bad. Besides, whether it's true or not, it's rare that he has such a heart. I care more about this."

After finishing speaking, Miao Yang carefully put the jade back, stood up and said to Martin: "Go back and rest, by the way, there is no fixed job for this year."

"There are more than a dozen scripts waiting for you to read," Martin said, "All of them will start shooting this year. How many films are you planning to take?"

"Reject all of them," Miao Yang said without thinking, "I don't want to take on the show this year."

"Then how can I do it!" Martin was in a hurry. The worries from years ago finally became a reality. He felt that Miao Yang's attitude on the night of New Year's Eve was not right, so he had this plan.Miao Yang has worked very hard since his debut. His achievements today are naturally related to his family, but no one can deny Miao Yang's own efforts.He has a high starting point, and the plays he took on at the beginning were all big productions, which attracted a lot of attention. In the next few years, he didn't pay much attention to production, and tried other styles, and the response has always been good.Even if Miao Yang is retiring now, it can be said that he has achieved success and fame. However, Martin knows that Miao Yang has no plans to retire, otherwise he would not categorically reject the proposal of his father and brother on New Year's Eve.

"Why not?" Seeing that Martin was agitated, Miao Yang sat down again, and at the same time beckoned for Martin to sit down too, "Can't I rest? Are we short of money?"

"You know that's not what I meant," Martin said impatiently, his face blushing suddenly, "Do you know what it means to disappear for a year in the entertainment industry? It's not easy for you to come back after a year with new products coming out so fast. The directors have other choices, and the audience is familiar with other faces, who will remember you? Can you accept that kind of psychological gap?"

"It's so serious." Miao Yang seemed a little surprised by Martin's attitude. "According to you, those who have been filming a film for several years don't need to be confused."

"That's different!" Talking about work, Martin was very serious. "They are filming, and the crew will release various news from time to time to keep them in the audience's sight. There are also some who don't produce works for two or three years. Are you willing to gain your presence by relying on frivolous news? If you are willing, then treat it as if I didn’t say it.”

Exposure rate is the minimum requirement for a star. When there is a work, talk about the work, and when there is no work, discuss the private life. In fact, there is nothing, and you can dig out some old materials to hype.But apart from works, Miao Yang never bothered to do these other methods.Martin has also been letting him go. Anyway, Miao Yang relies on strength, not those messy things.

But Martin is not worried about the current situation. The two films Miao Yang made last year were very mediocre. "The Woman in Lugu Lake" may be a hit, but for Miao Yang, every film should have a hit of this level. the job.If Miao Yang does not have a work that can be produced this year, I am afraid that he will be gradually forgotten by the director and investors.Both the director and the investor are realistic. The box office and word of mouth must be a win-win situation. The candidates who fight against the box office are very important. Since his debut, Miao Yang has always been a person who fights against the box office. He has never disappointed the investors and the director, so his film contract There have always been many, and he has always chosen the films.It is not an exaggeration to say that the movie scripts that can spark a splash every year have been selected by Miao Yang, and those who Miao Yang does not accept can be selected by others.Martin didn't want to see Miao Yang's downfall. Miao Yang was a proud person, and he couldn't stand that kind of gap.Martin doesn't want to see Miao Yang lose in the future, so he can only stop him now.

Miao Yang looked at Martin in surprise, this person who grew up with him, this agent who entered the film and television industry for him.When did you start to care so much about fame?Has he forgotten his original dream?Although Miao Yang knew that Martin was doing it for his own good, this kind of pursuit of fame was not what he pursued.He still remembers that when no one in his family supported his acting, only Martin stood by his side and insisted on following him regardless of Uncle Ma's obstruction.Miao Yang said at the time that he should not regret the choice he made at the time.Now, Martin has become a golden agent in the industry, because he is the only agent in the Chinese-speaking circle who has been the best actor in Srika for two times.For the outside world, Miao Yang has never suppressed Martin's credit, and Martin is responsible for selecting films, negotiating remuneration, and signing contracts.Miao Yang once suggested that Martin be a full-time agent instead of being his assistant, and bring more actors. With Martin's current fame, many famous people are willing to follow Martin.However, Martin disagreed.

The two had already completed their bold words ahead of time. Miao Yang was willing to support Martin in all his decisions. Miao Yang thought that Martin would also support him, after all, Martin knew him so well.

Miao Yang was a little surprised, smiled, and said, "No, I don't have anything to expose about my private life, and I don't have anything old to stir up."

Martin was obviously agitated, but he didn't notice the tiredness in Miao Yang's tone, which would never have happened before. Miao Yang's every move and any change in expression could not escape Martin's eyes, "Other directors' plays It's fine if you don't take it, you don't want to play director Jiang's play

Can not answer. "

"Lao Jiang has no new play this year." Miao Yang said.

"I know that the film he's preparing won't start until next year, but it can start filming earlier." Martin felt that he and Miao Yang should each take a step back, "I'll talk to Director Jiang, you accept this film, and everything else will be postponed." Drop it, okay?"

"Lao Jiang won't agree." Miao Yang didn't want to continue talking about this topic, "You go back first, and we'll talk about it later."
