Fang Kun smiled and said, "Do you want to drink? The red wine here is very good, can you try it?"
liquor? A drink that will corrode ulcers like sulfuric acid when you drink it in your mouth, making it unbearable? Xiao Jiashu had tears in his heart, but a smile spread on his face, "Okay, thank you Brother Kun."
Fang Kun poured a glass of red wine for Ji Mian and Young Master Xiao respectively, and was about to talk about signing the contract during the wine tasting, but saw Young Master Xiao showing a hideous expression, and then quickly lowered his head.
"What? Wine is not to your taste?" Ji Mian looked at him with a smile.
"No! Taste, feel, very, praise!" Young Master Xiao was in such pain that he couldn't even speak, his handsome face was darker than the bottom of the pot.
Ji Mian, "… "
Fang Kun laughed, "Drink more if you like." Then he poured some wine for Young Master Xiao.
Xiao Jiashu, who wanted to save face and suffer, felt that he was living like a year, and the hand that squeezed the wine glass was shaking. He vowed that as long as he walked out of this restaurant alive, he would never eat junk food again. When a strong SOS signal emanated from his heart, a middle-aged woman in her forties came over, said hello to Fang Kun and Ji Mian, and then pinched Xiao Jiashu's face intimately, "Little Sapling, don't you come to see your Aunt Su when you return to China?"
"Aunt Su? Are you eating here too?" Xiao Jiashu almost cried with joy, and quickly stood up and gave the woman a bear hug. Just as he was about to introduce everyone here, Aunt Su said forcefully, "Xiao Kun, I borrowed someone. , you eat, I have already paid the bill."
"Aiya, Sister Su, why are you so embarrassed?" Fang Kun wanted to be polite. The woman had already pulled the tall young master Xiao away, leaving only an empty seat and a light glass of red wine.
"Xiao Jiashu even knows Su Rui, and his network resources are very strong!" Fang Kun took a sip of red wine and said slowly, "It seems that I may not be able to sign him. But this is also good, bad temper, poor acting, and poor management. The expression is still difficult to serve. After this meal, I can dispel my previous thoughts as soon as possible. Like him, it is easy to want to be popular, but it is difficult to want to be popular for a long time. Just participate in a reality show, revealing his true personality every minute, and then being caught Black Chengxiang."
Ji Mian didn't answer, just shook the red wine glass gently. Eating your favorite steak and drinking your favorite red wine at your favorite restaurant is the ideal state without being disturbed.
"Forget it, in fact, I don't really like to sign an ancestor to come back. You are too good to bring it, and I will not be used to bringing others." Fang Kun cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, and immediately narrowed his eyes in enjoyment. "Delicious, Xiao Jiashu's tongue must be broken."
On the other end, Xiao Jiashu followed Su Rui into the box, and immediately winked and made a painful expression, "Aunt Su, give me a glass of water to rinse my mouth!"
"What's the matter?" Suri quickly picked up the white water on the table.
"I have oral ulcers, and I drank alcohol just now." Xiao Jiashu also burst into tears after cleaning his mouth, looking like only aggrieved Erha, which made Suri laugh. She used to be Xue Miao's agent. Later, the two jointly established a brokerage company. A few years ago, they planned a female singer talent show together, which opened up the booming talent show market in China and made the company completely stable in the entertainment industry. up the heel. In terms of relationship, the two are closer than sisters, and Su Rui is a single person. She doesn't get married and has no children. Xue Miao's son is no different from her son.
She grew up watching Xiao Jiashu, so she naturally cared about him very much. She immediately asked the assistant to buy fire-fighting medicine, and then taught him a lesson and asked him to pay attention to his body. Only then did she start asking about work.
"They didn't give me a job at all, they treated me as a decoration." Xiao Jiashu was a little aggrieved, and then grinned and took a sip of cream of mushroom soup. He wanted to order soup just now, but Ji Mian seemed to be very domineering, saying that it was a treat. In fact, the dishes were determined early in the morning, and he did not have the right to order at all.
"Then I'll talk to Slender Yu." Suri immediately picked up the phone.
"Don't, don't," Xiao Jiashu hurriedly stopped, "I'm a newcomer, they don't trust my ability, so that's why. Aunt Su, if you let Uncle Xiu help me, my colleagues will look down on me even more. I will definitely study hard. , I work hard, and I have to rush to do it. After a long time, everyone will understand what kind of person I am and will gradually accept me. This is a stage that every newcomer in the workplace has to go through, and I can handle it well. "
Suri looked at his face with a sense of sacred mission, and suddenly smiled, "Little sapling, why are you so sweet? Just don't do it in Guanshi, come to me."
"No, Mom has already agreed with Uncle Xiu, so you can't keep your word. Work is a very serious matter. How can you say that you should quit your job." Xiao Jiashu shook his head and drank the soup.
"Okay, our little sapling has grown into a towering tree." Su Rui touched his head lovingly and explained, "You can come to the company tomorrow afternoon to play. The final finals of SUPER's new voice generation is very exciting. ."
"SUPER New Voice" is the trump card program of Ruishui Culture Agency, a joint venture between Su Rui and Xue Miao. It is the originator of the domestic talent show and has great influence. It is held every two years. This time, it was a joint venture between Rui Shui and Guan Shi, and it was an unprecedented event. Once it was broadcast, it broke several ratings records in a row, and it became a mess. Even Xiao Jiashu, a sea turtle who just returned to China, knows a little about "SUPER New Voice".
"It's the finals? I haven't watched the previous episodes." Xiao Jiashu didn't know that the way he spoke was very disturbing.
Fortunately, Suri understood his character and didn't think he was embarrassed. "The finals are the most exciting. Come and see, I'll get you a VIP seat. The singers this year are very good."
"No, I want to work. I'm Ji Mian's assistant, so I can't neglect my duties." Xiao Jiashu refused seriously. As a young newcomer in the workplace, he can't fish for three days and spend two days in the net.
Su Rui supported his forehead, "... Ji Mian is also here, he is the judge of the finals."
"Oh, that's about the same. You don't need to give me VIP tickets, I'll just stand on the edge of the judge's platform. If Ji Mian has anything to do, you can find me at any time." Xiao Jiashu thought about it seriously, and then agreed.
Suri, "…"
---
The first day was spent doing nothing, and in the afternoon of the second day, Ji Mian took Xiao Jiashu to the Ruishui headquarters. As a company that has just emerged for less than ten years, Ruishui's performance has surpassed many established brokerage companies and ranks among the top three in the industry. Its headquarters is located in the city center, and the finals are held in the stadium next to it, which can accommodate 50,000 spectators at one time.
"Brother Ji is going to put on makeup, sit here and wait, don't run around." Fang Kun said to Young Master Xiao, and the other party was looking left and right, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"Okay." Xiao Jiashu was sitting on the sofa by the door, still thinking about the big stage he just saw in his mind: it's so high, so wide, and there is a sea of people below. How would it feel if you stood up and sang a song? However, he can only imagine it, and he has no way of knowing the answer in this life.
Ji Mian seemed to be very tired, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he began to fall asleep. The makeup artist's movements became more and more careful, and even her breathing slowed down a lot. Half an hour later, the stage was ready, the judges came on stage, and the contestants began to perform with singing and dancing.
Xiao Jiashu really stood under the judges, huddled with a group of photographers. Fang Kun sat at the back of the jury's stand and leaned forward a little to chat with Ji Mian. The players who can reach the finals are all very strong, and the performances are also brilliant. The audience frequently screams and applauds enthusiastically, which drives the atmosphere in the field.
Infected by the atmosphere, Xiao Jiashu couldn't help loosening his tie, and his always quiet eyes glowed with scorching heat. He liked the feeling, as if the blood was burning and the mind was bubbling.
The last contestant came on the stage. She was very beautiful, and her temperament seemed to be very weak, but she was extremely explosive when she sang. Her voice contained a metallic texture, heavy and cold. She is the most popular player to win the championship. She has a lot of fans before the game is over. Even if she loses the championship, her future is not bad.
The audience was more enthusiastic and almost turned the sky over, but Xiao Jiashu was stunned, staring straight at the female contestant with an unpredictable expression. Through this unique voice, he was brought back to the distant, unforgettable and unbearable memories.
"Thank you Brother Heng for always cooperating with me. If you weren't so tolerant, my mentality would definitely collapse." Lin Leyang folded his hands together and sincerely thanked him. But no one knew that it was not Shi Tingheng who really got him through this crisis, but Ji Mian who was standing not far away. He repeatedly warned himself not to embarrass Ji Mian, which brought the emotions that were on the verge of collapse back to a stable state. Ji Mian is his spiritual pillar.
Thinking of that person, Lin Leyang hurriedly raised his head to search for the other person's figure, but found that he had already walked to his side, his eyes filled with tenderness, "It's a good performance, as expected of an artist under my banner. Director Luo, I have to trouble you to teach me more in the future. Teach him." Hua Luo raised his hand and touched Lin Leyang's red forehead very naturally.
"No trouble, Xiaolin is very smart, and he can learn it." Luo Zhangwei did not say polite words. A rookie like Lin Leyang who has no acting skills has only played a few times, which is already considered very good. Once he met a popular little fresh meat, a crying scene was filmed for more than an hour without tears, and in the end he could only get through with eye drops, and it was too late. He almost hit someone with a loud horn that day!
Ji Mian chuckled twice, then patted Lin Leyang's shoulder again, and the frowning brows finally relaxed completely.
Xiao Jiashu squeezed to Luo Zhangwei's side at some point, bent over to look at the display, and thought to himself: How come it's over? If this time is also NG, Lin Leyang will definitely cry. This scene is not difficult, just slap it, play it a dozen times, and finally plant it in the trash can, and it's over. If you want me to shoot, I promise to pass it. Having said that, I don't seem to have eaten NG once, what a genius! He touched his lower jaw, his eyes were crescent-shaped, suddenly felt a little cold from the side, turned his head and found that Ji Mian was staring at him.
"Brother Ji, what are you doing?" He hesitated.
"Come here." Ji Mian pulled the person aside and stretched out his hand, "Take out the phone and delete the video you just shot."
"Why?" Xiao Jiashu quickly hid his phone behind his back.
"You didn't sign a non-disclosure agreement before entering the crew? Actors are prohibited from taking pictures of videos or photos with their mobile phones on the set, and it is even forbidden to leak them."
"I won't leak it..." Xiao Jiashu still wanted to argue a few words, seeing Ji Mian's stern face, staring straight at him with slightly cold eyes, the serious expression was really scary, so he had to hand over the phone to him. go out.
Ji Mian deleted the video and said solemnly, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't care about you, but do you still remember what you said to me on the day of the opening ceremony? You said you have to finish the play well, no It will waste the company's resources. Now, what are you doing? Every day, you come here reluctantly, and do nothing when you come, just play games. If I had known this, I should have advised you to quit earlier that day. Crew, don't waste each other's time."
Xiao Jiashu was very unconvinced and argued, "I'm good at filming, I've never eaten NG, how can I waste the company's resources?"
Ji Mian gave him a deep look, didn't speak, handed back the phone and left. Xiao Jiashu threw a few punches at the back of his head, and complained: Dogs are meddling with mice! What's wrong with being lazy? I didn't eat your rice again! Unexpectedly, Ji Mian suddenly turned around and told him to trip his left foot on his right, almost falling down and eating shit.
Ji Mian looked at the staggering young man and shook his head in disappointment.
After this episode, Luo Zhangwei filmed a few more scenes in the police station. At the end, he raised his loudspeaker and shouted, "Ji Mian, Xiao Jiashu, Zhou Fu... go to the living room to shoot the first scene of the eighty-sixth shot of "The Apostle". Once!" The actor whose name was called hurried to the destination.
The reception room is also in the same building. In order to save money, the crew only rented a vacant office building in the suburbs and arranged them in different areas. The scenes of the police station, the scenes of the Ling Group, the scenes of the International Police Agency... almost all require real scenes All of the infields were filmed in this building.
The props group has already arranged the empty living room properly, with leather sofas, wool carpets, and rosewood coffee tables. Every detail shows two words—luxury. This is the office of the president of the Ling Group, and it is also the place where the elders of the group hold secret meetings.
The scene to be filmed today is that Ling Feng officially entered the company under the recommendation of Ling Tao and was in charge of a big project. On the surface, the project is to cooperate with a multinational company in Europe to expand the import and export volume of the group. In fact, there is an import and export route secretly used to transport drugs. And European drug dealers have invented a new type of drug, which can become addictive once, and is difficult to get rid of for life. It is extremely harmful to human beings. There is no doubt that the Ling Group will be their agent.
The elders of the Ling Group have been immersed in the underworld for many years, and naturally they do not dislike the dirty hands of these bloody money, but Ling Tao has a younger brother to take care of, and he still retains a bit of humanity, so it is difficult to make a decision on this business. Ling Feng only saw the plan on the surface, and had no idea about the transactions behind the scenes of the group. He was the only one who was kept in the dark at this meeting, and the other elders planned to threaten Ling Tao with his life. All kinds of battles are hidden under the dark tide...
The night before, Xiao Jiashu had memorized the lines thoroughly, so he didn't feel nervous at all. Everyone here is ruthless, only Ling Feng is a fool and Bai Tian, and he is very good at acting.
The actors sat down in their seats, the director gave an order, and the screenwriter hit the board. Xiao Jiashu picked up the plan and read it carefully, Ji Mian turned to look at him with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, but the faces of the three elders were sinking.
Naturally, the props team wouldn't really show Xiao Jiashu a planning book. Although it was full of words, it was all downloaded by the props online, so it was meaningless. In order to make the performance more real, Xiao Jiashu couldn't help but look closely, and then found such a joke - please use ABCDEFG in a sentence. A bear child from the northeast raised his hand: A, this child B, from C's family, stands barefoot on D, EF does not wear it, and GG is still exposed.
puff! Nope, spray it! Xiao Jiashu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only endure it desperately, but his expression became more and more serious. Made a rubbing motion.
His timing was too coincidental. At this point, Ling Feng had already read the plan and was worried about the group's blind expansion of business scale. And Xiao Jiashu's expression and actions that couldn't bear to laugh completely matched Ling Feng's worried state of mind. So Luo Zhangwei not only did not call CUT, but also nodded in relief.
Xiao Jiashu managed to suppress the smile, and then slowly said, "Brother, this project is too risky, I suggest you think about it again. As far as I know, the European side..."
Ji Mian made a gesture of listening, but an artist who played the role of a veteran said yin and yang, "Xiaofeng, you just graduated and you have no work experience. Is it a little rash to meddle in such an important business as the group?"
Another veteran said coldly, "Ling Tao, you managed to raise your brother safely, but you can't let him make mistakes. Some mistakes can be corrected, but some mistakes are fatal. We all put our lives on this project. Come on, you can't cheat us." Word Luo glanced at Ling Feng with sullen eyes. This is to imply that Ling Tao, if he is not obedient, the European side will take Ling Feng to the knife.
Ling Tao naturally understood, his expression was gentle, but his eyes were full of ice, and he slowly said, "It is precisely because the project is too big that I have to consider it more carefully. Uncles, don't worry, I know what I know."
Next, a few people said some dark and turbulent words about Ling Feng's life, but as the focus of the conflict, Ling Feng was ignorant. As the extra son of the Xiao family, Xiao Jiashu always plays a similar role in front of his father and brother. As long as he sits stupidly and occasionally says a few scenes, he can't interfere in family or company affairs at all, so this scene is right It's not difficult for him either.
The other actors are all veteran actors, and it is even more impossible to make mistakes. After eight or nine minutes, the director said, "OK, this is over, prepare for the next scene."
I rely on, it's over again? Acting is not too easy! Brother Ji finally saw it with his own eyes this time, how can I waste resources? I'm obviously a top performer! Xiao Jiashu was complacent in his heart, but pretended to be calm on his face, and glanced at Ji Mian vaguely. He walked to the lazy chair and was about to play a few games. He seemed to think of something and hurried back to bring the plan. It's full of funny jokes, it's pretty cool.
"Brother Zijin, have you noticed? I haven't eaten a single NG since the start of filming." He endured and endured, but he still couldn't, and he publicized his achievements.
Huang Zijin patted his head with a smile, and encouraged, "Our little saplings are geniuses in acting! Come on, brother, look after you!"
Ji Mian, who was standing not far away, suddenly looked at them, and his eyes flashed.
In a word, he wants to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry with his own efforts, rather than taking advantage of Ji Mian's potential.
Ji Mian explained seriously, "I did give you a chance, but I didn't make the producer and director have to choose you. You entered by your own strength. The role of Shi Yu is optimistic, cheerful, and affectionate. Righteousness, it is very close to your image. And he has just started working, and he is very young in all aspects. Although your acting skills were good when you auditioned, you also had a sense of youth. It is precisely because of this, The director gave up so many popular stars and chose you. Le Yang, you have to believe in yourself, you are very talented in acting, and you will definitely improve with a little training. I am very optimistic about you. "
Lin Leyang's face turned red from the praise, and the grudge just now disappeared. He nodded vigorously and said cautiously, "Brother Ji, I will definitely work hard, and I will never embarrass you."
"Okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Ji Mian rubbed his head with a smile, and then took out a contract, "I'm going to sign you, do you see what other terms need to be changed?"
"Who are we and who, we can just sign, what else are we looking at." Lin Leyang picked up the signature pen and turned to the last page, but was stopped by Ji Mian.
The two were talking when Fang Kun came in with a cigarette in his mouth, "Brother Ji, do you have something to do with me?" While talking, he put the cigarette pestle in the ashtray, and smirked, "Yo, Le Yang is there too? I heard that you auditioned for the cast of "The Apostle"? What was the result?" However, he didn't need to ask him to know that with Ji Mian there, Lin Leyang could get a role he was satisfied with no matter how bad his acting skills were.
Lin Leyang's smile became much lighter, and nodded, "Hello, Brother Kun, I have a role as the third male." In fact, he prefers the fourth male. Although that role hangs up early, he and Ji are brothers in the play. Lots of rivalry.
"Congratulations then, the character setting of the third male suits you very well." Fang Kun sat on the sofa at the other end, glanced at the coffee table from time to time, and found an A-level contract on it. expression.
Ji Mian waited for the two of them to exchange greetings before saying, "Akun, please bring Leyang with you in the future."
