Knowing that Liang Sizhe had the hope of agreeing to make up the shot, the other investors finally stopped for a few days. You know, if this film is not good candidates for reshoots, I am afraid that it will lose everything.

Although the original actor Huang Qianshi may not have much box-office appeal, but after all, he has appeared in many Hong Kong films, and he is also a movie star. For mainland audiences, he still has a certain screen appeal.

The box office appeal is a very mysterious thing. Some people are very popular in the TV circle. Once they appear on the big screen, they have no charm, and their own shortcomings are magnified, and the audience will not buy it. After all, screen and screen are different after all.

What kind of actor can make the audience willing to buy it? The best is, once stunning the screen, always foolproof, always at ease. For example, Liang Sizhe was amazing when he appeared on the screen at the age of 17.

However, after Liang Sizhe asked the script to pass, there was no news for the next few days.

The one who was most anxious was Zhao Chengdong. He kept saying that Liang Sizhe was just an actor that day. Hearing that he had the hope of agreeing to make up the film, he wished he could call and ask eight hundred times a day, which annoyed Lin Yan very much.

Two days later, Lin Yan called and complained to Cao Ye: "This Zhao Chengdong always urges me to respond with Liang Sizhe, but it annoys me to death. Why did you cooperate with Zhao Chengdong in the first place?"

Cao Ye and Lin Yan had grown up together, and they never had to go around the corner when they talked, so he answered him bluntly: "It's easy to invest, and you don't have much involvement in the film. This person in the circle is a fool who has more money and less work. , will you find another one for me to see?"

Lin Yan was silent for a few seconds, and could only nod his head in agreement: "You are right."

"Besides, you caused it yourself. He urged you to ask, so you can ask."

"Of course I asked, Liang Sizhe was on vacation abroad recently, and the news from my side was sent out, but he didn't reply to me until two days later, and it didn't hurt, and he didn't answer the phone, so how can I guess What is he thinking now? Cao Ye, I beg you, you are the main cast for this film, ask him in person, he will always sell your face."

Cao Ye didn't say a word, hung up the phone decisively, and continued the work at hand.

What Liang Sizhe was thinking, whether he had read the script, whether he would accept this reshoot, Cao Ye couldn't guess and didn't want to guess. As the main helmsman of Lomon Media, he cannot put all his weight on the film "Darkest Choice".

Besides, there is no rush to make reshoots. The most important thing at the moment is that he has to consider the worst outcome, and he has to find a good film that is planned to be released in the current film market. The strength of Meng's publicity and distribution today is likely to achieve a small and broad investment benefit - this is how Lomon started three years ago.

It's a pity that the film market is in a slump now. At a glance, there is an endless stream of big investment, sub-quality, and bad films, while low-cost films with dark horse looks are not found.

Just as Cao Ye was about to open another movie project book, Lin Yan called again.

He didn't pick it up at first, but Lin Yanqi reluctantly hit him three times in a row before he picked it up.

"Let me tell you, there's a show." Lin Yan got straight to the point.

Cao Ye said "Huh?" and waited for his next words.

Sure enough, Lin Yan's next sentence was: "But Cao Ye, you still have to come forward."

Cao Ye looked at the project book and said nonchalantly, "It's enough for you to recruit me once.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, Liang Sizhe just called me back and said that he would be back in two days. I finally persuaded him to have a dinner with us, Cao Ye, this matter can't be turned around, don't say that my brother won't help you."

"How can you help me? I told him first and then that I would go, right?"

"Since you guessed it," Lin Yan said boldly, "Let's go."

Cao Ye didn't answer, silent, silent.

Lin Yan couldn't wait, and persuaded him to open again: "I said that there is no big conflict between you, at best, it's just a little conflict, so why make it like an old lover dare not meet?"

Cao Ye thought for a moment, and felt that Lin Yan's words made sense, so he said, "That's right, then let's go."

"Okay, then I'll give Liang Sizhe a message and ask him to come over. That's it."

Dare to love Liang Sizhe's side has not decided whether it will come or not, Lin Yan is such a chicken thief that it is hard to prevent.

"By the way," Lin Yan pushed his nose up, "If Mr. Cao, you are willing to condescend to pick up Liang Sizhe for a flight, our sincerity can be expressed more sincerely."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Ye had already hung up the phone.

Cao Ye knew very well that Lin Yan was so enthusiastic about this matter, of course, not only because of the small friendship between them, but more importantly, the Dongsheng Entertainment Company he controlled was second only to Lomon this time. The second largest investor in Media's "Darkest Choice".

Lin Yan has always put his interests first. Obviously, he will not easily give up this opportunity to use Liang Sizhe to turn around.

Not long after the call, it was unknown who posted the news on the Internet that Liang Sizhe was considering replacing Huang Qianshi to make up for "The Darkest Choice". After the news was forwarded in turn by several Weibo big Vs, it gradually became difficult to tell whether it was true or false from the initial unbelievable, and there began to be different opinions on the Internet for a while.

- "Slip on Liang Sizhe's head, Fang Fang's face is unbelievably big."

- "Liang Sizhe is willing to accept this film contract, I will live stream the washing machine, and I will do what I say."

- "Fang Fang wake up, stop dreaming."

— "According to the unconventional temperament of the actor Liangying, I was not sure whether I should believe this revelation..."

- "A ten-year-old fan like me, crying and saying that I think it's really possible for him to do this kind of thing..."

"Liang Sizhe can do this kind of self-depreciation, but Xu Yunchu would agree?"

"Just kidding, if Xu Yunchu could control Liang Sizhe, would he expose so many rumored girlfriends?"

In a word, regarding Liang Sizhe's participation in the remake of "The Darkest Choice", the opinions on the Internet can be roughly divided into three groups: disbelief, disapproval, and disapproval.

Three days later, Liang Sizhe really came back as promised.

At 3:30 in the morning, at the Capital Airport, the dedicated entertainment reporters pulled the disgraced Liang Sizhe out of the crowd with sharp eyes.

Just looking at his face, Liang Sizhe is still good-looking, but it doesn't look like going on vacation abroad, but rather like returning from scavenging - a half-worn white shirt, and some fresh mud ideas have been splashed on his trousers.

Xu Shi had spent enough time in a sparsely populated foreign village. When the entertainment reporters swarmed over, Liang Sizhe seemed to be so frightened that he took a small step back: "Hey, such a big battle," and then his tone was a little bit. Hesitant, there was some innocence in his eyes, "I haven't been photographed recently, right?"

"It's photographed, it's photographed!" The surrounding Yuji joked about him.

Liang Sizhe obviously knew that they were joking, so he raised three fingers to his ear in a serious manner: "God testify, I've been really naive lately."

This caused a burst of laughter.

"Don't believe it!" Someone shouted in a high voice.

There was a lot of noise, and the crowd of onlookers soon gathered more and more. When the passengers who were waiting for the flight who didn't know why heard that Liang Sizhe was coming, they all gathered around to watch the fun. Fortunately, there were not many passengers in the early morning, so it would not cause chaos at the airport.

Song Qingyan, Liang Sizhe's executive agent and assistant, brought an airport security guard over, and at this time, he carefully protected him to prevent him from being pushed by the people around him.

"Shh, someone is sleeping," Liang Sizhe gestured for the people around him to keep silent, "Tell me, what are you waiting here in the middle of the night to ask? Let's chat while walking."

As soon as he moved, more than a dozen reporters quickly followed. A reporter immediately asked: "Si Zhe, there is news that you are considering replacing Huang Qianshi to make "The Darkest Choice", is it true?"

"It's for this..." Liang Sizhe paused thoughtfully, then smiled, "You guys are well informed, yes, I have received an invitation and I am indeed reading the script."

"Then you came back this time on a special trip to discuss this matter?"

"Guess." Liang Sizhe turned his face away and looked at the person who asked the question with a smile. This is one of his usual tricks in interviews. When he doesn't want to answer, he says "you guess", but when he says this, his eyes are mixed with ridicule and jokes, which makes people unbearable to be honest with him.

This time, too, the person who asked the question was a young female reporter who was at a loss for words.

Fortunately, someone quickly grabbed the opportunity and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Liang, why are you considering this reshoot invitation?"

Liang Sizhe's eyes also moved to the face of the person who asked the question. He didn't answer the question directly. He said, "You gave me an exclusive interview, didn't you?"

"Ah... Yes, you still remember." The reporter was obviously a little surprised.

"Because you came up with that title, it's a bit... how do you say it, tricky?" He really started chatting with reporters, and he didn't hesitate to catch up with each other.

"Your promotion later denied that title."

"It wasn't him, I denied it. I happened to see it that time. Do you want to know why?" Liang Sizhe said casually, as if he was joking with an old friend, "Just see through me, and try to expose it. I'm not being kind."

- "Liang Sizhe, the young actor: arrogance is his protective color", Liang Sizhe still remembers the original title of the magazine article very clearly.

Liang Sizhe is tall and has long legs, and his steps are fast. When he interrupted, the reporters present had followed him to the airport exit before he had time to ask why.

At the exit, a stylish black commercial car was parked there, and the driver had opened the rear door and waited aside.

With the airport security guards beside him, Liang Sizhe got into the car safely. As soon as the door was closed, the reporters were stopped outside, and questions came in vaguely through the thick door.

Song Qingyan got into the car from the other side and sat in the last row.

The driver sat up immediately, fastened his seat belt, released the handbrake, set the fire, and moved very neatly. Then he routinely asked Liang Sizhe, "Mr. Liang, are you leaving now?"

Liang Sizhe was turning his face to look out of the car window. Through the black shading film on the car glass, he saw a bright and round moon hanging on the sky not far away. The moon on the fifteenth is sixteenth round, and today is exactly the middle of the month, the sixteenth.

If he doesn't speak, the driver can't drive away on his own accord.

The reporters outside the car were still reluctant to give up. Someone approached and tried to open the car door. From inside the car, it was like watching an old black-and-white silent movie. With the dim tones of the streetlights in the background, everyone looked anxious, lips parting and closing, but they couldn't make out what they were saying.

"Brother Si Zhe, shall we go?" Song Qingyan thought he was in a trance and reminded him aloud.

"Wait." Liang Sizhe said suddenly, then reached out and pressed the button of the car window, and the car window fell immediately. He leaned on the window sill and looked at the people outside the car, "I still have a question that I didn't answer just now, right?"

Some reporters didn't hear him, but they continued to ask questions in a loud voice: "Mr. Liang, what do you think about Huang Qianshi's drug use?"

Liang Sizhe ignored the question, and regardless of whether anyone was listening, his voice was neither high nor low, and he said to himself, "Why should I consider accepting this invitation for a supplementary shoot... Because this film is related to an old friend of mine, He's been kind to me, so I'm thinking about repaying it."

After speaking, regardless of the reaction outside the car, he raised the window, leaned on the seat back with a relaxed posture, and said to the driver in the front row, "Brother Chen, go."

Song Qingyan in the back row was not so calm. As soon as the window was closed, she immediately leaned over the car seat and asked, "Brother Si Zhe, what kind of repayment? Is this film related to Director Cao Xiuyuan?"

"It's also related, and it's not related." Liang Sizhe is the best at cheating.

"I can't understand more and more of what you're saying... I'm done, I think Sister Yun Chu should be angry again tomorrow." Song Qingyan's chin rested on the front seat, and her voice was full of despair, "She wouldn't let you in the first place. It's better for you to take this film, first shake off the news to Yuji, and also take the initiative to break the news, not at all..." The voice was getting smaller and smaller, and he didn't dare to continue.

Liang Sizhe didn't hear the last few words clearly, and closed his eyes and asked, "It's nothing at all?"

"Reserved, you are not reserved at all!" Song Qingyan said boldly.

Liang Sizhe couldn't help laughing: "When have you seen me being reserved?"

"It doesn't matter if you're not reserved," Song Qingyan muttered in a low voice, keeping the volume at just the right decibel—if she judged that Liang Sizhe showed a trace of unhappiness on her face, she could stop herself from saying anything at any time, "but this time ... It's really not good, you don't even know how to say it online, it's ugly to say that this is a substitute, picking up leftovers."

"Let them talk," Liang Sizhe opened his eyes and turned his head to look at her, "Believe it or not, I'll be making headlines in a few hours. What's with this expression? I haven't made headlines for months, you Should be happy."

Song Qingyan looked sad: "It's better if you don't make the headlines. If you make the headlines, Sister Yun Chu is sure to blow up... Brother Si Zhe, are you really planning to take on this film?"

"Let's see and talk." Liang Sizhe's tone was relaxed.

"Ah? You said that to Yuji before you thought about it?"

Song Qingyan sat back in his seat dumbfounded.

She was really worried for Xu Yunchu. If Liang Sizhe accepts this film, he will be said to be a substitute, pick up the leftovers, and lose his value; if Liang Sizhe does not accept this film, once his answer is broadcast today, he will be scolded and popular again.

A little assistant who has been in the circle for less than two years can think of this level. Liang Sizhe has been in this circle for ten years, and she has been scolded more than she has ever drank. Can she not expect this consequence

Thinking of this, she quickly took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Xu Yunchu.
