Shen Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry until he learned of what happened from Chu Meibo's mouth afterwards.
This is because he didn't think about it carefully. He thought before that, although Shen Heng is sharp, he can be trusted. When he was there when they met, Shen Heng would never embarrass his friends.
Who would have thought that there would be unexpected events, he was still delayed in the company for a while, and when he came back, the two sides had already met and chatted back and forth.
He didn't even think that the boss of the house would eventually fall in front of a bottle of red wine.
Chu Meibo believed in Shen Huai, since Shen Huai said that Shen Heng could be trusted, she would no longer doubt Shen Heng, but she was a little depressed after all.
Pei Ran frowned slightly, showing a rare trace of unwillingness: "I can drink it too, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Meibo glanced at him: "The law stipulates that minors cannot drink alcohol."
Pei Ran: "..."
This is the second time he has fallen under the laws of China.
At this moment, Song Yimian came over: "I called Mr. Guo's assistant, and he came to pick him up."
Shen Huai nodded: "Then you go back first, I'll wait for his assistant here."
Seeing this, Chu Meibo and Pei Ran didn't say any more. They said hello to Song Yimian and went back, but after they left, Song Yimian didn't leave.
He hesitated for a moment before finally summoning up the courage to walk in front of Shen Huai: "Brother Shen, I have something to tell you."
When he was eating before, Shen Huai noticed that Song Yimian seemed to have something on his mind, but it was not easy for him to ask anything at that time, so it was delayed until now, even if Song Yimian didn't look for him, he would look for him. Song Yimian asked clearly.
He smiled gently, led Song Yimian to sit at the bar, made two more cups of coffee, pushed one cup in front of Song Yimian, and then said as if he was gossiping: "I heard Ke Fei say that there have been several movies recently. Is the play looking for you to audition?"
Peng Kefei is Shen Huai's assistant manager. Because Shen Huai gradually shifted his energy to Yixing Film and Television Studio, he must not be able to take care of Song Yimian and them in the same detail as before. So he hired an assistant agent, and some small things were done by the assistant agent, but the main direction was still controlled by Shen Huai.
Song Yimian nodded and replied in a low voice, "Yes, Sister Ke Fei said that she has received a lot of scripts. She chose a few scripts and they came out very well..."
Shen Huai did not speak, but motioned for him to continue.
Song Yimian pursed his lips and rubbed the coffee cup again. The endless heat spread from the cup to his palm, and it seemed to spread from his palm to his heart.
A year ago, he was just a young actor who had no role to play and would be expelled from this circle at any time, but a year later, he not only participated in "Red Ling", but even got a lot of male lead roles. It was something he never dared to think about.
And all this was brought to him by Shen Huai.
When he was in despair, it was Shen Huai who brought him out of the abyss. Later, it was Shen Huai who kept giving him opportunities, teaching him, and cultivating him.
It stands to reason that he should cherish this hard-won opportunity, act seriously, and be obedient, in order to repay Shen Huai's kindness.
However, during this period of time, everything he experienced in the crew of "Red Actor" was like a baptism, which washed his mind and made the future road in his mind gradually clear.
It's just that this road runs counter to the company's plan for him. Song Yimian is anxious and blames himself. He hesitated for a long time in his heart until he saw the contract and suddenly remembered what Shen Huai had said to him when he signed the contract.
Shen Huai said that the reason why he signed with him was because he saw the potential in him and believed that he would become an excellent actor.
Shen Huai also said that they are a cooperative relationship and are equal.
These words gave Song Yimian the confidence to go on again, and also made him firm to tell Shen Huai his true thoughts.
He raised his head and looked at Shen Huai, the other's face was smiling as always, full of tolerance and encouragement.
Song Yi reluctantly calmed down, and then said abruptly: "Brother Shen, the scripts that Sister Ke Fei picked are all very good, but I don't think they are suitable for me, I think... I want to try a film like "Scissors". Yes, I don’t want to be in front of the camera too much outside the play, and I also want to gradually reduce my fan meetings and business activities in the future…”
Song Yimian finished speaking in a hurry, then lowered his head, his face full of shame, and he didn't dare to look at Shen Huai.
Shen Huai didn't notice the latter sentence, but he was still surprised when he heard the former. "Scissors" is a highly controversial literary film this year. And ugly to the point of discomfort.
The actor who plays the male lead is about the same age as Song Yimian, but with his superb acting skills and vivid description of the character, he has won unanimous praise from the industry.
Shen Huai never thought that Song Yimian would have such a thought.
But he didn't directly refuse, but asked seriously: "Can I ask the reason? That is, why do you want to act in a film like "Scissors"?"
Song Yimian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Shen Huai neither blamed him for reducing his chances of making money nor asserted that he was fanciful, but patiently asked him why.
Song Yimian's heart became sour and soft.
His originally tense heart also relaxed a lot, he eased his emotions, and then said: "I used to think that a good acting skill is that the director can shed tears when he says crying, and perfectly shows everything in the script. But this time in the crew, I saw the acting skills of Sister Mei and President Guo, as well as Brother Wei and many other seniors. It's not that they don't have such strength, but they let me see that a good actor , is to play the character alive, he is not crying because the script requires crying, but the character is crying."
"I remember one time I accidentally heard Mr. Guo and Sister Mei chatting. Mr. Guo said, you have to forget yourself, you have to respect your role, treat yourself as that person, feel his joys, sorrows and joys, and experience his life. , carve his pain into his bones, and you can play him well."
Song Yimian showed a wry smile: "These words are like ringing a bell in my head, making me start to think, I want to be an actor like Sister Mei and President Guo. But I know that I am poor. It's not just talent, but also the ability to feel pain, the former I can't make up for, but the latter, I want to try and see."
Shen Huai fell into silence after listening.
He understands Song Yimian's pursuit. A person who wants to be a good actor will never allow himself to indulge in idol dramas with simple and lively plots but too thin characters. They will take the initiative to challenge more complex characters and experience the necessary practice to become a real actor.
This is also the reason why Shen Huai let Song Yimian stay on the crew of "Red Ling" for so long. He not only hoped that Song Yimian would learn acting skills from his seniors, but more importantly, he hoped that Song Yimian could learn from these seniors. As far as their attitude towards acting is concerned, this will be his greatest wealth as an actor in the future.
It's just that Shen Huai didn't expect that Song Yimian would go further than he imagined.
He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke before Song Yimian became uneasy.
"I'm glad you said that." Shen Huai showed an admiring smile, "The six months of study have not been in vain, you have learned the most important thing."
Song Yimian was stunned, and the originally pale cheeks slowly rose to a blush of surprise.
However, Shen Huai went on to say: "But I also want to remind you that this road is very dangerous. There are many actors who have fallen into the role and have been unable to get out, and finally caused a tragedy. I hope you can become a good actor. , but I don't want you to be in danger either."
Song Yimian nodded vigorously, showing a bright smile: "Brother Shen, don't worry! I will definitely be careful!"
Shen Huai watched Song Yimian leave, and sighed with relief and worry.
—
When Assistant Lao Guo arrived, Shen Huai and he worked together to send Lao Guo to the car, and then went upstairs to see Ye Cang, who was also drunk.
It was just that he didn't expect to see Shen Heng walking out of the room before he even walked to the door.
Shen Huai opened his mouth and called out "Uncle".
Shen Heng's eyes fell on the door, with a smile on his lips: "Are you worried?"
Shen Huai hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Shen Heng chuckled lightly and said, "His amount of alcohol is quite suitable for you."
Shen Huai: "..."
Shen Heng patted his shoulder: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, you can go see him."
Shen Heng said and walked downstairs.
Shen Huai stopped him, he looked at Shen Heng, and said in a low voice, "Today, they didn't do it on purpose, - sorry."
Shen Heng understood why he apologized and said with a smile: "I understand, everyone has secrets, I respect them, you don't need to explain anything to me."
Shen Huai was not surprised that Shen Heng would say this, but he couldn't help but say, "Uncle, I..."
But Shen Heng waved his hand and stopped him: "I know what you want to say, A Huai, there can be space between relatives, I worry about you, it doesn't mean I want to control you, you have your life, There are also your secrets, you don't need to tell me."
"I respect outsiders, and I also respect my relatives."
Shen Huai was silent, he felt like a ball of cotton was stuck in his heart, and it was full.
Shen Heng patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, don't worry about it, just do whatever you want. If something happens, my uncle will take care of it for you."
Shen Huai had already packed up his mood. Hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but make a joke: "Since I was a child, my uncle always told me this, it's not easy for me to grow up to be the second-generation ancestor of a prodigal family."
Shen Heng was surprised: "Is it all a joke now?"
Shen Huai: "...In your heart, have I always been an old-fashioned person?"
Shen Heng laughed loudly.
Shen Huai couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Heng looked at Shen Huai's relaxed expression, and the worry in his heart finally dissipated, he said with a serious face: "Although I still have a lot of dissatisfaction with Ye Cang, I can at least tell that he cares about you. Since you have chosen him, go on well, or that sentence, if there is anything, my uncle will take care of it for you."
Hearing this sentence, Shen Huai vaguely felt something: "Uncle, are you leaving?"
Shen Heng gave a "en": "I can't stay on vacation forever. Besides, things overseas are almost done, and I have to prepare to go back to China."
Shen Huai was still a little reluctant to give up, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he suddenly became happy: "Are you going to go back to China?!"
Shen Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, at most two months."
As Shen Heng said, he thought of something again, "By the way, tell your friend, and we'll drink together when I return home."
Shen Huai: "..."
It's better to say goodbye, Lao Guo will cry.
