Soon To Die

Chapter 3: shadow

Views:

When Lu Wenxi arrived at the company, he was already relieved.

He is an atheist and does not believe in ghosts, so he thinks the timing is just a coincidence. Besides, it was just a stranger who committed suicide. Even if he was a colleague, it had nothing to do with him. There was no sadness at all, at most he felt a little regretful.

After entering, I went directly to the 7th floor of the company, walked out of the elevator, and saw that everyone was hiding from Lu Wenxi, as if Lu Wenxi was carrying the plague. Lu Wenxi was also quite helpless, and walked towards Han Fanming's office calmly.

The assistants stopped at the door and went to the adjacent lounge.

When Lu Wenxi entered the office, he saw not only him, but also Yu Yan.

Yu Yan belongs to the same agent as him. Unlike his overnight success, Yu Yan got to where he is today by accumulating his works bit by bit. It was only transferred to Han Fanming a year ago and began to enjoy the company's first-line resources.

He couldn't talk to Yu Yan.

In other words, few people can talk to him.

After he came in, he sat down directly. Han Fanming sat diagonally opposite him, still fiddling with his mobile phone, and ignored him.

Yu Yan who was sitting next to him was also playing with his mobile phone, but he was not reading news, but playing games, similar to games like Lianliankan, the mobile phone made a sound like "biubiu" from time to time.

He looked at it, a little hesitant, wondering if he should take out his mobile phone and play along, is it considered to be doing as Romans do

At this time, Han Fanming turned off the phone screen, put it aside, and looked at Lu Wenxi with complicated eyes. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Have you heard?"

"for example?"

"Deng Xuanhan is dead."

"I didn't do it."

Yu Yan, who was originally sitting on the side playing the game, couldn't hold back after hearing this, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".

Han Fanming was so angry by Lu Wenxi that he was speechless. He didn't say a word for a long time, and when the phone fell, he wanted to swear, but he endured it abruptly and asked, "Do you... have any ideas?"

"Is this to analyze the cause of death?"

"Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid with me? I'm asking you, do you have any thoughts? Don't be attacked by fans and get depressed, and then commit suicide."

Lu Wenxi looked stunned, and replied: "Try to bring it in, for example, you are as handsome as me and so rich, are you willing to commit suicide?"

Yu Yan began to laugh like a "puff puff" fart.

Han Fanming glared at Yu Yan, and then continued: "I wanted to scold you at first, but now I'm afraid of provoking you and making you commit suicide too. But now it seems that I was worrying too much, so let's say Can you tell me about your being a demon last night?"

"I'm just promoting new songs."

"I know you like to sing, and I know that you entered the entertainment industry just to become a singer, and I even made a plan for you, but you have never cooperated. I have hardly seen an artist like you in these years. passed."

Lu Wenxi likes to sing, not to act.

He was born in a businessman's family, and he had participated in several dinner parties with Lu Yushang. He watched these people drinking, toasting, and saying flattering words, boasting all over the world that this is my home. At that time, he hated these greasy people, and secretly decided in his heart, I don't want to be such a person.

He didn't like anything, he just liked to sing, so he signed a contract with a company and made his debut, but he began to receive training and asked him to act.

The script of "The Grand Master" has the posture of a domineering king, and Lu Wenxi really didn't put much effort into acting it. When the overwhelming scolding came, it really gave him a blow to the head, making him stunned for a while.

"The current market is different from before, and it's still embarrassing. Not many people will buy albums, and most of the fans don't have the awareness to spend money to listen to songs. You can go and see for yourself what the state of a pure singer is." Han Fanming Say it as calmly as possible.

"I'm not short of money."

"Yes, you are not short of money, what you want is feelings, right? If you are not famous, no one will know your song. If you release a song in vain, it may not be as popular as an online singer. Many new singers nowadays have started to participate in variety shows Talent show, participating in reality shows, or just acting in TV dramas or movies, don’t you want to die?”

Lu Wenxi frowned and didn't speak.

"Look at you again, I found the best resources for you, such a good team, such an awesome director can't save you, look at your angry expression in the movie, stare, someone strangled your neck ? Movie resources, if you are not prepared to cherish them, it is possible that you want to participate in a reality show. With your temper, you can also participate in "The Story of Changing X."

Lu Wenxi turned his head and saw that Yu Yan beside him was already laughing so much that his phone was shaking, technically he didn't make a sound, but the "biubiu" sound from the phone disappeared, obviously he hadn't continued playing for a long time.

He raised his finger and pointed at Yu Yan: "Is this guy sitting here to laugh?"

"He came to the rescue."

"What's the meaning?"

"The contract for your next script has not been confirmed yet, so there is still room for maneuver. You are on the cusp of the storm, and you have been pointed out that you are a bit ruffian. The next script is not suitable for you, so you might as well pass it on to Yu Yan."

Lu Wenxi's next play is called "For Justice". The content of the movie is the same as the name, which is to tell the story of the police.

The protagonist of the story, at first, was a passionate young man who had just become a police officer, obsessed with being a good police officer, rescuing victims, and fighting criminals. The protagonist's mother was not around when she died, and she also lost her love, and finally got together with a female forensic doctor.

The story is very positive, the script is tear-jerking, and the protagonist's inner conflicts, struggles, and stubbornness all need to be well displayed.

Lu Wenxi is about to play the male lead.

Originally, Han Fanming's plan was very good. Lu Wenxi would first be the main supporting role in a popular movie and become famous, and then he would become the leading actor in a movie by himself. In this way, the exposure is enough, maybe it can increase a wave of followers, and maybe become famous all at once.

In the end... when something like this happened, he was a little afraid that Lu Wenxi would finish his performance and be said to have ruined the image of the policeman.

After listening, Lu Wenxi turned to look at Yu Yan.

Yu Yan didn't look at him, and continued to play Lianliankan, as if he was just a bystander.

Yu Yan is a person with very personal characteristics. His facial features are profound and three-dimensional. He looks a bit mixed. He is tall and tall. Because of long-term exercise, he has maintained his figure very well.

Many people say that Yu Yan is a walking hormone.

He is very manly and handsome, which really fits the positive image of this movie.

"The protagonist is a weak chicken." Lu Wenxi said.

Han Fanming was taken aback.

"The protagonist was very weak at the beginning, and was almost transferred to a clerical job. It was all supported by his will. With his size... he is also suitable for being a security guard if he really transfers his job."

"It's not easy, I actually read the script in advance." Han Fanming said with a bit of sarcasm.

"I don't want to be scolded all the time."

"Then what do you think?" Han Fanming asked him.

Lu Wenxi didn't say anything.

Han Fanming didn't wait for him, and continued: "I transferred Sister Xia to someone else."

Lu Wenxi was taken aback, and asked, "Why, she didn't make any mistakes, and I was the only one at home last night."

"That team of yours pampered you too much and let you run amok all day long. She is the oldest, she didn't do much, and she came here to intercede with you, so I transferred it to someone else, let her try to start as an agent .”

Miss Xia is not young, she is 33 years old this year.

She has been Lu Wenxi's life assistant since Lu Wenxi's debut, and she has a good relationship with Lu Wenxi. Being transferred suddenly, Lu Wenxi still felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to say something, but shut up again.

Being a manager is also good for Miss Xia.

People like Han Fanming, who are only 31 years old this year, are already big managers. The only difference between Sister Xia and Han Fanming is their academic qualifications. Sister Xia has already accumulated a lot of means and contacts.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Yu Yan paused the game, got up and tidied his clothes, and said, "I'm going out first."

"Let's go have breakfast." Han Fanming said.

"En." After finishing speaking, he left Han Fanming's office directly.

Han Fanming watched Yu Yan go out, and then said again: "Let's talk about your new play, I'm going to give you another training, this time, you must not embarrass me again, at least you have to win the round. "

It was more than half an hour before Lu Wenxi walked out of the office. As soon as he went out, he saw Yu Yan leaning against the door and continuing to play mobile games. He looked like a bad student who was punished by the teacher to stand.

He turned his head to look at Yu Yan, but didn't make a sound.

Yu Yan glanced at him, and said first: "My schedule until May next year is full."

"oh."

This sentence was quite straightforward. Yu Yan wanted to tell Lu Wenxi that his schedule was full and he had no time to act in Lu Wenxi's script. Han Fanming called Yu Yan over, probably to scare Lu Wenxi.

"You... just cooperate with him like this?" Lu Wenxi looked at Yu Yan, a little puzzled. After all, he was gay, and sometimes he really suspected that Yu Yan was either secretly in love with him, or wanted to have an underground relationship with Han Fanming.

"You can still see Reservoir Dogs when you come back." When Yu Yan said that, he raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Lu Wenxi.

Lu Wenxi was quite cooperative, and turned around in front of Yu Yan, but he couldn't make Yu Yan stand for half an hour in vain, just watch as much as you want.

He only applied liquid foundation on his face, saying that plain makeup is okay, and he didn't change his hairstyle. He was also wearing a simple black jacket and ripped jeans.

Yu Yan looked at him for a while, then put away his cell phone, stretched his shoulders, turned his head to the lounge and knocked on the glass door, soon his team members came out of the lounge and followed Yu Yan away.

Both Yin Hanwei and Lin Xiao knew that Sister Xia was directly fined by Han Fanming for one month's wages because she pleaded for Lu Wenxi, and then she was sent to be the newcomer's manager. They both looked a little depressed.

This time Han Fanming made up his mind to teach Lu Wenxi a lesson, so there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

Assistants and managers, many people think that managers are superior, and the basic salary of managers is twice as high as that of assistants. In fact, they are also divided into artists they follow.

As a manager of a newcomer, the artist's bonus is pitifully small, so he can only grit his teeth and try his best to promote the popular artist.

As Lu Wenxi's assistant, the artist's dividend at the end of the year can be worth several years' salary. In addition, Lu Wenxi has money himself, and he is also generous in giving red envelopes during Chinese New Year and festivals, so his income is very considerable.

So they didn't know whether to congratulate sister Xia or feel sorry for sister Xia.

Sister Xia is like a grandma from the next generation, she is indeed too used to Lu Wenxi.

After leaving the company, Brother Liu drove to Lu Wenxi's usual apartment.

On the way, Lu Wenxi received a call from Lu Yushang. When the old man spoke, he liked to use a bureaucratic accent, and he spoke to Lu Wenxi in the same way: "Son, have you been wronged? Don't be a star, come home, Dad Give you 300 million, and you can do business yourself, okay?"

"I'm fine." Lu Wenxi replied.

"Then add another 100 million, and Dad will send you a few experienced seniors to help you, so that you will not lose money."

"Dad, I know that a man like you who doesn't have a mistress or a mistress really has money and no place to spend it. But, money is a good thing, you keep it for other things, don't break the chain of funds, it will collapse all of a sudden .”

"Little bastard! How can you talk to me."

"Well, my son is relieved to hear that you are still so lively. Okay, I'll hang up the phone."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Wenxi was a little frustrated.

Leaning on the armchair of the car, he felt unloved, mainly because of his tired heart.

Han Fanming asked him what he was thinking now, but he couldn't answer, and he didn't know, his mind was a little messed up.

Sometimes looking at the slander on the Internet, he really feels that he is not an actor. He wants to try singing, but when a new song comes out, the response is mediocre, which is really shocking.

Do business like your father? He really doesn't like that social occasion.

After strolling around the apartment, Brother Liu turned the car around and headed for a house in the suburbs.

Even if the news of Deng Xuanhan's suicide stole the limelight, there were still reporters stationed near Lu Wenxi's residence, and a large number of fans gathered nearby. The last time Lu Wenxi's car entered through the door, someone smashed the car with an egg, and then the true love fan fought with the black fan who threw the egg. The scene was quite a spectacle.

Let's avoid this kind of thing, Lu Wenxi plans to hide again.

If he is thrown another egg, he can get out of the car and fight, and the public opinion will be even more terrifying.

When they arrived at Lu Wenxi's house in the suburbs, Yin Hanwei asked Lu Wenxi, "Boss, do I need to bring you some food?"

"No appetite, don't want to eat."

"You haven't eaten all day."

"It's okay, there are apples in the room."

Yin Hanwei hesitated for a moment, and comforted Lu Wenxi: "Actually, Boss, you don't have to pay too much attention to what that old guy said. You don't have to take it seriously when you criticize a lead actor who earns tens of thousands of dollars at most. thing."

"I know in my heart, you go out." After finishing speaking, he immediately thought of other things, "Transfer 500,000 to Sister Xia, and tell her that the year-end bonus has been paid out in advance."

This money is to compensate sister Xia's salary, and it can be regarded as an apology.

"Well, I also have to make handovers with Sister Xia. During this time, I will pay attention and find you an assistant."

"Um."

"Don't eat indiscriminately to relieve stress, we have already cleaned up the dining table."

"..." Lu Wenxi looked at Yin Hanwei, a little puzzled, and just about to ask, Yin Hanwei had already left the house.

After everyone else left, Lu Wenxi slumped on the sofa for a while, then stood up, and entered the fitness room to start exercising, which lasted from 1 o'clock in the afternoon to more than 4 o'clock.

Gathering his breath, he walked into the dining room, poured himself a glass of water, waited until his sweat was almost gone and the temperature of the water was about the same, and then he drank it all in one gulp.

The whole house was quiet, as if there was no sound, but he could vaguely hear the wind.

That's right, in the room with no windows open and no air conditioner turned on, I heard the sound of the wind. He looked around suspiciously, but didn't see anything unusual. He didn't care, turned on the robot vacuum, and then went to take a shower.

After coming out, I ate an apple and went straight to the bedroom to sleep.

Lu Wenxi woke up from hunger, her stomach was rumbling, and her stomach felt uncomfortable. Lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and then took out the phone to check the time, it was only 9 o'clock in the evening. He put the phone back under the pillow, put the phone away, but he didn't take it back for a long time, and then took the phone back.

Turning on the screen again, the phone's light illuminated the bedroom, and then he turned his head to look at the bed.

The curtain was covered, and there was only the light of the mobile phone in the room, so there could be no other shadows, but he clearly saw a figure squatting beside his bed, with his hands resting on the edge of the bed, his chin resting on the back of his hands, just like that. Looking straight at him.

It's just a black shadow, just like the black shadow of the suspect in Detective Conan, it doesn't even have eyes, but he can be sure that the vague black shadow is looking at him.

Because of fear, he felt that the house was extremely cold, his back felt chills, his body stiffened instantly, and he didn't dare to move.

The heartbeat speeded up suddenly, as if it could break through the eardrums, and the eyelids were beating with the heartbeat. There was nothing around him, but he felt that there was an evil wind all around him.

Strange things happened one after another, and it was impossible to stay calm...

He remembered what the boy said again, and then suddenly had a guess.

An evil spirit rang his doorbell, but he couldn't see the evil spirit, so there was no one in the video intercom. As a result, when he opened the door and looked outside, something might have been let in. The cold wind might be the evil spirit. Spirit came in.

Afterwards, the little Taoist who was chasing the evil spirit came after him, trying to drive the evil spirit away, but he was driven away by himself.

His head short-circuited for a moment, and he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, probably to show his courage and disdain for that shadow, he slowly raised his right hand and raised his middle finger at the shadow.

Sombra was stunned.

After a while, the black shadow stood up suddenly, and then quickly rushed towards Lu Wenxi.

The author has something to say: Lu Wenxi: Even if he sees hell, he still has to fly.
