three hours later.
The director put his elbows on his thighs, collapsed, buried his face in his palms, and fell into contemplation in despair.
He is a director who specializes in low-quality web dramas. He has never had much requirements for the quality of the plot and the acting skills of the actors.
But... In the more than ten years of his career, he has never seen such a bad actor!
The station will not stand, and the camera lens will not be found.
The lines were memorized word for word, but the expressions and body movements were stiff as if it was a robot with an on-off key behind it. Remembering the lines clearly is of any use!
The director put down his palm dumbly and shouted feebly:
"…Ten minutes of rest."
Filming stopped.
All the actors showed resentment instantly, but Lu Nan, who was the culprit, was relieved to stay out of the way, as if he had finally escaped from the long-lasting torture.
"—Lu Nan, come here."
The director shouted from a distance.
Ge Xiu put down his sleeves and walked towards the direction of the voice.
The director pulled Ge Xiu aside, with a complicated expression on his face, he was hesitant to say anything.
Finally, after considering the words for a long time, he said slowly: "Xiaolu... I know you have encountered a lot of things recently, your state... "
The director froze for a moment, and then continued in an extremely reluctant voice: "...Maybe it's not very good."
He took a deep breath and continued: "This... I don't blame you, I'll give you three days off, you can think about this role, okay?"
The young man nodded with a sincere attitude:
"Okay, thank you Director."
Looking at the innocent-looking young man in front of him, the director felt more and more headaches - it's not that he didn't want to change people, the main reason is that the cost of the online drama he's shooting is too low, and there are too few actors willing to take on such a bad drama.
The director is actually quite self-aware of this.
And although this guy has been hacked miserably on the Internet recently, being scolded is also traffic!
You know, black and red are also red.
He was counting on this drama to be scolded and earn some clicks.
The director patted Ge Xiu on the shoulder and said weakly:
"… Go ahead."
Ge Xiu nodded happily, then turned and left without any psychological burden.
Gained a lot of knowledge today!
Just stand in front of the camera and recite your lines—well, you can’t look directly at the camera, you can’t directly turn your back to the camera, and you can’t just keep reciting lines without giving the other person time to respond.
In this way, the profession of an actor is quite interesting.
Ge Xiu finished changing his clothes, and then left the cloudy and gloomy studio in high spirits.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the film and television city, he was surrounded by a group of entertainment reporters blocking the door.
One by one, the microphones were facing his face, squeezing them in front of him.
Countless noisy voices came from all directions, the male and female voices overlapped and mixed, making it extremely noisy:
"Lu Nan Lu Nan! What do you think of the revelation that you are being fostered?"
"Did you leave the hotel disheveled this morning because you were with someone?"
"are you gay?"
"Is it true that you owe a loan shark for gambling?"
"Have you posted Zuo Yan, the president of Zuo's consortium, or even went to Zuo's hotel to try to seduce him?"
Gossiu was fuming.
The identity assigned to him this time, Lu Nan, is simply a black material concentration camp. Although he did not have time to digest all the information transmitted to his mind, based on the news that he simply learned that was exposed, It's enough to ruin a person's reputation.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the messed up reporters in front of him. There was a bit of coldness in his dark eyes. This is not a look that an ordinary star can have. The sensitive entertainment reporters froze behind their backs, as if deterred, and subconsciously closed their voices.
There was a brief silence in the air.
Ge Xiu cleared his throat and said, "Do you have any questions? Then come one by one."
The entertainment reporters were stunned for a moment. They had never seen a star with such a reaction. At the same time, the professional radar, which was extremely sensitive to traffic and heat, also stood up instantly. Flashes of excitement, like hyenas smelling blood, swarming up.
Ge Xiu randomly clicked one:
"What did you just ask me?"
The reporter who was called out spoke very quickly: "What do you think of the revelation that you were kept?"
Ge Xiu didn't change his face: "No idea."
reporter:"… ?"
But before he could regain his senses, Yuji who asked the second question was called out by the young man who had diverted his attention. The other party's voice instantly overwhelmed the first reporter's attempt to ask:
"You gamble with loan sharks..."
Ge Xiu calmly said: "Fake."
The reporter was taken aback for a moment, but responded quickly: "But those evidences..."
Ge Xiu was firm and firm: "Forged."
reporter:"… "
What is talking nonsense with your eyes open, this is called talking nonsense with your eyes open.
But the other party's natural, upright, and unconcealed attitude has a strange magic power, that is, it can block their throats and suddenly forget what to ask next.
Other entertainment reporters rioted.
They could see what this guy wanted to do, but after all, they were well-trained and were not prepared to let the other party continue to hold the right to speak.
The crowd quickly became agitated, and vehement questions were thrown at the young man in the eye of the typhoon like a bomb. One question was more explicit and uglier than the other, as if he was trying to sting the other side deliberately, so that he could do something about it. more intense stress response.
Homosexuality, foster care, seduction, unspoken rules, owe money, Zuo's group, Zuo Yan...
Ge Xiu frowned, capturing a word he had never heard of:
"Who is Zuo Yan?"
The entertainment reporters breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly quieted down, and stared at the young man in front of him with an incredible look, as if he had said something shocking.
Ge Xiu was a little puzzled.
Should he know this man
However, Ge Xiu knew what it meant to seize the opportunity, so he took the opportunity to escape from Yuji's siege, and then quickly hired a passing taxi and quickly got into the car before the other party came around again.
The slow-moving taxi left the group of people in hot pursuit behind, and the tightly closed windows blocked off those questions that seemed like a barrage of cannons.
It feels so good to finally be able to breathe.
Ge Xiu leaned on the back seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
According to the original body's memory, he opened the social software and flipped through it casually.
I saw that Lu Nan's name was hanging on the hot search.
And there are several.
Ge Xiu casually clicked on one.
One of the most popular is the image of him coming out of the hotel disheveled this morning. The angle of the photo is very good, and it can make people think about it almost instantly.
He pulled down to the comment area.
It's basically full of foul language and insults.
… boring.
Ge Xiu yawned painlessly and turned off the social software.
He opened the original payment software, swiped it at will, and then his eyes froze abruptly.
Balance: 19.8 yuan.
"… "
Ge Xiu glanced up at the driver's chronometer, which was about to jump to 19.5.
He yelled loudly, "Stop!"
The driver was taken aback and hurriedly slammed on the brakes.
Ge Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll just get off here."
The driver looked back at him in confusion: "But it's still five minutes away from the destination, and it will take a while to go."
Ge Xiu replied calmly, "I want to take a walk."
He paid the money, opened the door and walked out.
This is a somewhat crowded residential area. In fact, it is not far from the place where I lived, and it only takes ten minutes to walk there.
Ge Xiu turned into an alley according to his memory.
The sun overhead was hot and dazzling, and several large, leafy trees stretched out from the low walls, casting shadows.
"Gollum—"
His stomach growled.
Ge Xiu frowned, reaching out to hold his stomach aching.
It was only then that he recalled that he had not entered the water since he woke up in the hotel this morning.
At this moment, before taking a few steps, several people who had apparently been waiting there turned around from the rugged alley and walked towards him slowly.
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes.
He turned his cheek slightly - the alley behind him was blocked by three other people.
Those men were tall and tall, with vicious faces, and they all held implements such as wooden sticks, iron rods, and sharp-edged knives.
What luck is this today.
No matter where you go, you get blocked.
The hunger in his stomach made Ge Xiu a little irritable.
"Yo, Big Star Lu, you know how to come back." The leading man said yin and yang, "How about engraving the words on your hand this time? Write the money you owe us, maybe you won't forget it. already."
Several others around burst into vulgar laughter.
"Scratch his face!" One person suggested maliciously: "See how he is still on the show!"
"Break his hand!"
Cruel advice poured out of the mouths of the people around them one after another, and they laughed, enjoying the pleasure of being condescending and watching the victim shiver, and never tired of it.
The man in the lead stepped forward and poked the other person's shoulder with the sharpened iron rod in his hand:
"Did you hear it, don't say it..."
Before the iron rod could touch the opponent, it was grabbed violently.
The man was stunned for a moment, and swallowed the rest of the words off guard.
The young man in front of him who should have been trembling with fear and panic raised his head, but there was no emotion on his face. Under his slightly scattered forehead, his eyes were cold and dark, like a blade shimmering with snow-colored cold light. His gaze seemed to be able to feel the pain of being separated, which made people shudder.
He said calmly and wearily:
"Are you finished yet?"
The man came back to his senses from the stunned state, and instantly became angry, and shouted angrily: "What did you say?!"
The young man smiled.
His hand holding the iron rod tightened sharply, pulled the other party directly over, then held the other party's head and smashed it hard on his knee.
The whole process is smooth and smooth, and it takes less than a few seconds before and after.
By the time everyone reacted, the man had fallen to the ground whimpering, his face twisted and his nose bleed. Judging from the shape of the bridge of his nose, it was probably broken.
Ge Xiu flipped the stick in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at the others:
"Up?"
There was something dark and deep in his eyes flashing, like a beast lurking in the abyss showing sharp claws, and cold flames burning in the barren ruins.
The scorching sun overhead was dazzling, and the alleys twisted and twisted.
The gnawing sound of broken bones, flesh-pounding, and heart-piercing howls mingled together, making it distinct and abrupt in the silent afternoon.
After a few minutes, everything was silent again.
Only the painful groan was looming.
"Dang bang."
Ge Xiu casually threw the iron rod that was still dripping blood on the ground, made a loud noise, and then raised his foot and kicked the man who fell on the ground and wailed: "Not coming?"
The man curled up, struggling to avoid it.
Ge Xiu kicked again: "That's it?"
"No, no, don't fight! Forgive me!" The man begged for mercy hoarsely, the broken nose bridge on his face was still bleeding.
"Scratching my face?" he asked slowly. "Break my hand?"
"No no no no no! Dare not dare! We are just joking, joking!" The man cried bitterly.
Ge Xiu came down in despair and sneered softly:
"Just here to collect debts? Is it shameful?"
He raised his foot across the writhing body lying on the ground, and walked slowly towards the end of the alley.
Before taking a few steps, the familiar electronic synthesis sound rang in his ears, without any emotional fluctuations:
"Please accept criminal No. 7098 to accept the third task in this world: repayment of debts."
Ge Xiu stopped and slowly narrowed his eyes.
"This task is a long-term task and must be repaid by acting. The specified time is: one year."
In one year, relying on acting, pay off 80 million
He didn't get angry but smiled: "Okay, no problem."
"Gollum—"
There was another sound in Ge Xiu's stomach. He recalled the pitiful thirty cents in his wallet, then turned around and walked back without hesitation.
He kicked the man who was still rolling on the ground:
"Do you have any money on you?"
The man groaned miserably after being kicked, and he was stunned for a while, then said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Ge Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at the others: "How about you?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The crowd replied in a hurry.
"Very good, take them out."
The author has something to say: If you fail to collect debts, you will be robbed instead.
