As soon as the news of the signing ceremony of Shen Yu and Zhong Simo's studio was released, it caused a lot of public opinion shocks. They tried their best to achieve the most appropriate and grand scale in the limited time. There are many established film critic websites and authoritative magazines in the industry.
After completing all the procedures under the control of a specially invited famous host who is familiar with Zhong Simo, he also accepted several unavoidable group interviews and exclusive interviews. After everything was done, it was already four or five in the afternoon point.
"Thank you, let's have a meal together?" Zhong Simo looked at Shen Yu who had finally finished the last interview and walked into the backstage dressing room a little tiredly, and asked with a smile as he handed him a glass of water.
"Okay." Shen Yu took a few sips of water, seeing only him and Zhong Simo in the whole dressing room, he simply fell down on the swivel chair and turned around by inertia.
"So tired?" Zhong Simo took a few steps closer.
"I have answered the same question more than a dozen times, and each time I have to pretend that it is the first time I have heard the thoughtful answer." Shen Yu smiled helplessly, "But it is not easy for reporters, what questions should be asked but not asked, and what questions should be asked. It's obviously boring and you have to ask... just treat it as mutual understanding and mutual embarrassment."
"Really? I don't think so." Zhong Simo looked down and saw some bits of ribbon on the back of Shen Yu's neck, and reached out to help him get it, making the other party shrink back reflexively.
"Of course you don't feel it anymore. Which reporter dares to interview you with boring routine questions? A cold face can scare people to death." Shen Yu smiled and pushed the swivel chair back half a meter, teasing.
A few years ago, he overheard a few reporters chatting in the backstage of a certain group interview, and they all agreed that Zhong Simo was the most difficult person to interview in the industry. At that time, Shen Yu was still secretly rejoicing that Zhong Simo, who is a genius and a ghost, also had such a side. Who would have expected that he would talk about the interview with this person so naturally after a few years.
"It's because of their cowardice." Zhong Simo had thousands of sharp ways to reply to this sentence, but he couldn't say a word in front of Shen Yu, and finally dragged the media who were not present to take the blame.
"What are we going to eat?" Shen Yu smiled and stretched his waist to change the subject. He has been busy all day and hasn't eaten well. He already feels a little hungry.
Zhong Simo lowered his head and loosened his cuffs, "Let's think about it... You said before that you like to eat Mala Tang from the small shop next to Jingying—"
"...Are you crazy?" Shen Yu interrupted Zhong Simo speechlessly, only to realize that it was a joke when the other party was looking at him and smiling with interest.
The two people who are still on Weibo's trending search just finished the live broadcast of the signing ceremony, and then turned around and ran to the roadside shop to eat spicy soup? It is estimated that it will be eaten by various paparazzi and passers-by.
"I'm not kidding anymore, I'll cook for you today as a celebration." Zhong Simo said something more like a joke.
"Why, don't you believe in my cooking skills?" Seeing Shen Yu's indescribable expression, Zhong Simo suddenly felt very amused, and asked deliberately.
"No, that's right, cough—" Shen Yu could only deny and stop the words, "I feel that your temperament does not match the kitchen, but I didn't expect you to be able to cook."
"If I didn't know how to cook, I would have starved to death." Zhong Simo smiled casually, but it made Shen Yu feel a little uncomfortable. How could Zhong Simo, who lost all his family members at a young age, not be forced to Self-reliant since childhood
Seeing Shen Yu's expression down, Zhong Simo immediately guessed what this soft-hearted Mr. Yu was thinking, and shook his head helplessly with a smile.
"I like cooking very much. Different ingredients are processed for different times with the help of different seasonings to get different results... Just like life, encountering different people and things brings different possibilities, and your own choices That’s what really determines the future.”
Zhong Simo said here and looked at Shen Yu for a moment, probably because he felt that it was a shame to say these emotions at this time, and smiled again, "I used to cook by myself without anyone eating together, and I was too busy a few days ago No chance. I have asked my aunt to buy vegetables and send them home, let’s eat with Xiao Lanyinyin and the others at night.”
"Then I'll look forward to Director Zhong's cooking skills." Shen Yu said with a smile without saying anything more tacitly after hearing the words.
"It seems that this is a test for me." Zhong Simo nodded falsely, and was about to get closer to the deliberately puffed cheeks of the person in front of her kiss, when she suddenly heard a notification sound from Shen Yu's mobile phone in his pocket.
"You read the news first." Zhong Simo had no choice but to straighten up and signaled.
Shen Yu's WeChat specifically reminded that only a few people were added. Apart from Xiaolan's parents and Zhong Simo, there were only a few internal staff members like An Wei. An Wei and the others were talking together just now, logically speaking, no one should send him a message at this time...
Shen Yu took out his mobile phone and looked at it, then gradually frowned unconsciously.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Simo asked upon seeing this.
"Sister Mei, Mei Fei wants to see me." Shen Yu did not reply to the message, turned down the phone and said with downcast eyes, with thousands of considerations in his heart. He has not been in touch with Murphy for a long time, so he paid special attention and forgot not to cancel it.
"What did she see you doing, pleading with Liao Keyi?" Zhong Simo raised his eyebrows.
"Maybe, after all, she probably didn't expect that I could directly sign a contract with Zhong Simo's studio, who has never signed an artist." Shen Yu shook his head. He has been pushed to the forefront these days. It is much clearer than before.
"I've been depressed before, maybe it's because the movie hasn't started filming anyway, and I just want to ruin my reputation and ask you to replace me."
"Idiots are dreaming." Zhong Simo commented lightly, his tenderness and consideration were limited to Shen Yu alone, and to other outsiders, he was still the most difficult to get along with in the industry, a strong and changeable famous director.
"Your reputation in the outside world is so terrible, you can't be strong and violent..." Shen Yu couldn't help laughing after saying these two words, it seemed that she didn't take Mei Fei's sudden contact too seriously, "She It’s not incomprehensible to have such a plan.”
For Shen Yu's ridicule, Zhong Simo, who has never suffered a disadvantage, had no choice but to change the subject, "Leave her alone, let's go home."
"She said she wanted to tell me something, it's in a nearby coffee shop, I'd better go and have a look." Shen Yu shook his head and said, these days his life has undergone tremendous changes in both career and relationship, but in the past All kinds of things are still buried deep in his heart, and they will jump out to trouble him without knowing when, and it's time to make a break.
"Do you need me to accompany you?" Zhong Simo had already realized Shen Yu's meaning from Shen Yu's expression, so he still asked.
"No need, Mei Fei is not stupid enough to make trouble under such circumstances." Sure enough, Shen Yu smiled and shook his head and refused, "You go home and cook first, I don't think it will take much time, I hope I get home You can see a table of hot meals and enjoy the cooking skills of Director Zhong Da."
"You can still see two fat cats and two children." Zhong Simo knew that this was a hurdle in Shen Yu's heart, so he didn't force it. He followed his words and couldn't help laughing, bent over and kissed The corner of Shen Yu's lips changed again.
"But you are an artist at Zhong Simo's studio now. It's not good to go to see your former manager by yourself just after signing the contract. After all, An Wei is too young to react to many things. In this way, you take Mary to go, treat it as a temporary assistant."
"Then this assistant is really too extravagant." Shen Yu said helplessly when he heard the words, and called Mary, Zhong Simo's most trusted and well-known in the industry, as his temporary assistant. thoughts.
"We are just you as an artist now, of course we are following you in everything." Zhong Simo said with a smile, "And with Mary's personality who likes to gossip about us, she must be eager to go and see with you. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her if she is still at the venue looking for an opportunity?”
"You say yes." Shen Yu had no choice but to shake his head with a helpless smile and stood up.
He does not know Mary as well as Zhong Simo. He only has the impression of a capable and delicate strong woman. Zhong Simo trusts her deeply. She handles many things in the studio. Shen Yu is now signing a contract with Zhong Simo's studio. Sooner or later, you have to get acquainted with her, and it's better to get to know her earlier. And with someone with outstanding professional ability like Mary on the side to meet Mei Fei, both Zhong Simo and Shen Yu can rest assured.
Seeing that Shen Yu had no objection, Zhong Simo contacted Mary, and she agreed without leaving. Zhong Simo went home first, while Shen Yu took Mary to avoid the media and passers-by to the high-end coffee shop that Mei Fei mentioned not far away.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the white-collars working nearby hadn't left work yet, and there were only a few people sitting scattered in this light-luxury coffee shop, and it was very quiet. Wearing a mask, Shen Yu walked all the way to the corner where Mei Fei was, There are no other customers in the nearby seats about ten meters away.
"Sister Mei." Shen Yu walked over to Mei Fei who was looking down at her phone with her head down and frowning, sat down and took off her mask, and reminded softly that she was here. After all, the other party was his manager who had been with him for several years. Don't be a demon, Shen Yu is still considerate of face.
"Shen Yu... you're here." Mei Fei was startled when she heard Shen Yu's voice, and quickly pulled her attention back. She was hesitating whether to get up, but suddenly saw Mary standing behind Shen Yu, and stood up all of a sudden. , and said with a stiff smile, "I didn't expect you to come so soon and bring Miss Mary with you."
"Ms. Mei, I should be younger than you. You can just call me by my first name." Mary replied with a very decent and official smile, and nodded slightly. Mei Fei couldn't help feeling flustered in her heart, and suddenly lost confidence in her plan that she thought was sure.
"I have other arrangements in the future. In order to save time, Sister Mary came with me. The time was urgent and I didn't say anything in advance. I hope Sister Mei won't be offended." Shen Yu explained politely and resolved Mei Fei's embarrassment.
Upon hearing this, Mei Fei quickly nodded and said a few times that it's okay to trouble her, but she still couldn't help but quickly glanced at Mary's face several times.
"Sister Mary, go have a cup of coffee first. I'll have a chat with Sister Mei. It will be over soon." Seeing this, Shen Yu said to Mary as she had agreed before. Her Mei Fei smiled decently, and seeing the embarrassment on her face, she turned around and stepped on her red-soled high-heeled shoes more than ten centimeters high, and sat with her back on the seat about ten meters away. Complicated for a while.
"Sister Mei, you said that you want to tell me some truths about six years ago... what is it?" Shen Yu asked softly, sipping the Americano that Mei Fei had ordered in front of him.
The unique bitter taste of coffee spreads on the tip of the tongue, impacting the barrier of memory. He has never particularly liked the taste of coffee, but it is really good as something for concentrating.
"Based on your current situation, you don't really need to know." The complexity in Mei Fei's eyes has not faded, hearing this, she shifted her gaze from Mary's back to Shen Yu in front of her.
As a veteran agent, Mei Fei felt more deeply about what Mary, as the spokesperson of Zhong Simo's affairs in many aspects, meant in the entertainment industry. Seeing this gold medal assistant who was almost unattainable in her eyes came together with her former artist Shen Yu and obeyed him, Mei Fei inevitably felt very complicated, and finally realized that Shen Yu was no longer a few months old at this time. The former little artist who could only grit her teeth and accept her decision in her office.
"A lot of times whether you need to know and whether you want to know are two different things." Shen Yu smiled after hearing this, and looked at Mei Fei calmly. Knowing the past is really not helpful for his current career, but it can give him the possibility to overcome the dark hurdle in his heart.
"You are also very different from before." Mei Fei sighed and said, as an old-fashioned manager, she thinks she knows the artists under her fairly well. Although she hasn't seen each other for a few months, Shen Yu is still the same on the surface. She is gentle and peaceful, but she is much more stable and firm inside, and she no longer sees the occasional meek and hesitant appearance.
"Sister Mei didn't invite me here today to lament these things." Shen Yu couldn't deny this, and asked directly with calm eyes. There is still a table of delicious food from Zhong Simo and two younger sisters waiting for him at home. Shen Yu I really don't want to waste more time here.
"Of course not." Mei Fei thought of her original purpose, looked at Shen Yu like this and became more and more uncertain in her heart, hesitated for a few seconds and gritted her teeth and said, "I want to ask you to help... just say that you left the company for a better future. Development has nothing to do with Hualong, me, Ke Yibai and Zhu Zhen, you don't have to take care of various operations from now on, and you don't have to worry about damaging your reputation, how about we don't owe each other?"
"Sister Mei, I don't understand what you mean." Shen Yu found that Mei Fei had already referred to Bai Zhuzhen by his first and last name, and thought that their relationship might be on the verge of breaking out, but on the surface they didn't reveal anything, so she shook her head with a smile, "I Why do you want to tell this lie, what else do I owe you?"
Seeing Shen Yu's unmoving appearance, Mei Fei gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that the other party has been a meek and easy-going character for so many years. I don't know when he was taught to be like this. Looking at the distance, he seems to be drinking coffee slowly. Looking at Mary's back, she didn't dare to speak loudly, and her heart became more and more irritable when she thought of the draft she was about to send.
"Aren't I discussing with you?" Mei Fei smiled reluctantly. All kinds of messy things these days have made her burnt out, and she is no longer the strong woman who used to dominate the entertainment industry. "Of course you don't owe me anything." What, but I also sincerely want to talk to you... ”
"Take the past as a condition?" Shen Yu understood the unfinished meaning in Mei Fei's words, sighed lightly and shook his head with a smile, "Sister Mei, you also said it just now, I don't need to know they."
Shen Yu is no longer a young rookie who didn't know anything when he first debuted. These days, Zhong Simo, An Wei and others have made up a lot of homework, how could he not be able to distinguish the truth and the real intention of Mei Fei's words. Once this statement is issued, it will become strong evidence for Mei Fei to fight back against Bai Zhuzhen's indiscriminate calculations, and push the whole matter to the forefront again. At that time, all relevant personnel will be affected, and Mei Fei is not even sure about Liao Keyi. Don't worry about coming over, there is no time to control Shen Yu.
What's more, Bai Zhuzhen is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Once Shen Yu directly stands in front of him like this, he may have to make up a bunch of fake materials to slander Shen Yu in order to protect himself. Mei Fei's will not damage his reputation. Guarantees are nothing more than a nice empty promise.
"You really don't want to know what happened between you and Bai Zhuzhen back then?" Mei Fei asked relentlessly.
"I've already said, there's no need." Shen Yu still shook his head.
"And Mr. Wang!" Mei Fei gritted her teeth and said, "Why did he let you go, and what is the relationship between Bai Zhuzhen and him, don't you want to know?"
When Shen Yu heard this familiar name that had brought him countless nightmares, the hand on his side suddenly tightened and then released. In the end, he just looked at Mei Fei with a smile and said, "It is impossible for him to have the chance to decide whether to It's not about 'let me go', is it? Why should I put myself in trouble for this."
"Zhong Simo's studio is so powerful, and most of the entertainment industry is influenced by him, what are you afraid of?!" Mei Fei knew that her lies about the consequences of the consequences had been seen through, and gritted her teeth.
"I'm just an artist in the studio, and I don't dare to cause trouble to Director Zhong and the staff."
"It's just that artists don't dare to cause trouble?" Mei Fei seemed to have heard something funny, and she suddenly gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "What are you pretending to do? Are you not afraid that people will find out about you and Zhong Simo sooner or later?"
