"It was I who broke the contract first, and I will accept any punishment the company wants to impose on me."
"Brother Geng...I'm sorry this time." Jiang Chi took a deep breath of his cigarette, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and said in a low voice, "After paying the company's breach of contract, I'll give you yours again." part."
Geng Tian just got off the plane at night, first he was dizzy by a bunch of information bombardment, and then he was called to the company and was scolded by several leaders, big and small. When Chi's family came, they wanted to throw a tantrum at Jiang Chi, who would have thought that before he could curse, Jiang Chi would unconditionally admit it.
"I, I don't care about my share." This was too false, Geng Tian was angry because Jiang Chi cut off his money, now knowing that Jiang Chi would not pretend to be stupid to fool him, he felt a lot more at ease, vague He said, "Think about it for yourself, have you gone too far? Even my agent, you have kept it a secret. After the company knows the news, can you not be in a hurry? What are you?"
Thinking of Jiang Chi taking the show behind his back, Geng Tian became angry again, and said sharply: "It's not because you took the show with zero pay! Does the company care about money?! The whole team has already planned your career direction! How about you? ? Take the scene without authorization, or take this kind of, this kind of... "
When Geng Tian thought of Jiang Chi's current movie, he couldn't describe it.
A few months ago, Jiang Chi received a movie privately.
It's not a little-known workshop, the whole production of the movie, from the director to the screenwriter, is top-notch, with two male leads in the plot, and Jiang Chi's second episode.
It has been more than a year since Jiang Chi became famous, but he has never been on the big screen. Geng Tian has been paying attention to it for half a year, looking for some opportunity to put him in a crew. Just show your face.
Now it's time to continue the show. In the first show on the big screen, he cooperated with a big director to fight against the big banner.
Jiang Chi didn't ask for a single paycheck just to get into the crew.
It was originally a pillar for the company to make money, but now it can't squeeze out oil for at least half a year, and the top and bottom executives in charge of Jiangchi are all blown up.
"The savings I worked so hard to save last year! This time, it's all paid off, and I've offended the company! Do you think it's worth it?" Geng Tian hated iron for steel: "It's been less than a year since I became popular! It's the time to die, and you have more than half a year's schedule to shoot a movie that can't be shown in the mainland at this pass! What's going on in your mind... "
"Didn't you tell me? Anyway, we have to make a movie to please the fans." Jiang Chi was still calm, "It's quite suitable for a movie that only earns word of mouth."
"Don't fool me with my words!" Geng Tian blurted out, "Aren't you going to fight for this film because the other starring role has already been decided to be Ye Lang! I don't know what you are thinking?!"
Jiang Chi was stunned, a look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, he turned his head and coughed dryly, and unconsciously took out another cigarette.
Geng Tian regretted his words as soon as he uttered them, and when he saw the situation, he changed the topic, dissatisfied: "I wanted to ask you just now, why did you start smoking again?!"
"Needs for filming." Jiang Chi lit a cigarette and took a puff, choking, "Kill... quit after finishing."
Geng Tian frowned: "Pay attention to the occasion, don't be photographed outside, you haven't reached the time to transform into a handsome man."
"I know." Jiang Chi nodded, frowned slightly, and smoked slowly.
Jiang Chi is only twenty-three years old this year, and his face still has a youthful outline. Sitting on the sofa and learning to smoke like this makes people feel a little unbearable. Thinking about the company's punishment, Geng Tian softened his heart a little, sat down again, and sighed: "Because you were injured last time filming, everyone sympathized with you, so they applied for you for these three months of vacation, you are lucky , while no one is staring at you in private... Forget it, how about over there? I have heard before that Ren Haichuan is not easy to get along with."
"No, Director Ren is very nice." Jiang Chi knew that he had passed the test, and smiled, "Being in the group for a month, I learned a lot from Director Ren."
"Then..." Geng Tian hesitated to speak, "What about Ye Yingdi, you and him..."
Jiang Chi flicked the cigarette ash, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "Emperor Ye Ying is also very polite to me."
Geng Tian silently translated Jiang Chi's words: After filming for a month, Jiang Chi didn't even get to know Ye Lang well.
Even though he was annoyed at Jiang Chi's self-assertion, Geng Tian felt a little sympathetic to Jiang Chi when he heard this, and lost so much money and time just to get in touch with Ye Lang. Unfortunately, it seems that Ye Lang didn't intend to have a deep friendship with Jiang Chi.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to be "polite" after filming a rivalry scene for such a long time.
But this is not surprising.
Who is Ye Yingdi
Ye Lang, born in a major, became famous at a young age. He made his first movie when he was a junior. With his good looks and excellent acting skills, he won the Best Actor award on the eve of graduation from university, and graduated with two trophies. Since then, his stardom has been bright. Since he left school to the present, Ye Yingdi has been popular for ten years, and he has also dominated the big screen for ten years.
In these years, whether it is film resources or commercial resources, Ye Yingdi has been sitting on the top, win-win word-of-mouth and popularity, steadily and steadily, and his popularity is convincing.
What about Jiangchi
After two years of graduation and four years in the industry, he has participated in more than 20 TV dramas and starred in three. Most of the TV dramas he starred in were thrown away. The company originally had no hope for him. A period drama in which Jiang Chi played a supporting role became a hit last year. In the drama, the villain played by Jiang Chi unexpectedly attracted fans. With this role , Jiang Chi quickly became popular, and his popularity once overwhelmed many small freshmen in the entertainment circle. Taking advantage of this shareholder style, Jiang Chi accepted a reality show, and with his lovable personality, he gained a lot of fans, and squeezed into the front line in one fell swoop.
Red is really red, but everyone knows that a filmmaker like Ye Yingdi who has lived at the top of the entertainment industry all the year round will not take Jiang Chi seriously.
The two are not on the same level at all.
If it wasn't for the fact that Jiang Chi was fortunate enough to be from a major and was willing to endure hardships if he had acting skills, he wouldn't be able to get involved in Ye Lang's crew even if he paid for it.
Jiang Chi himself is very clear about these things.
"I didn't expect anything to happen." Jiang Chi was very optimistic, and smiled helplessly, "How is it possible... But when I heard that there was such an opportunity, I was not reconciled if I didn't fight for it, and it was not a loss. I learned a lot Less things, but also... "
He can still get along with Ye Lang day and night, although Ye Lang has always been indifferent to him, but at least Ye Lang will always look at him when filming.
In the previous month, most of the scenes were conflicts, with few rival scenes, and most of them were on location. In many cases, the two shot separately. But in the next few months, they will have a "honeymoon period", and Jiang Chi has already memorized the script by heart. Yes, he can speak Ye Lang's lines as soon as he opens his mouth. When he thinks that Ye Lang will say those sweet words to him affectionately in the play, Jiang Chi feels that it is worth paying for breach of contract.
Geng Tian looked at the slight redness on Jiang Chi's face and felt sad, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I will take care of you from the company, come back and give me a copy of the timetable from your crew, let me have a look..."
Jiang Chi said seriously: "Brother Geng, it's impossible for Director Ren to let me cut the show, and I don't agree with it myself."
Geng Tian resented: "Isn't it just to let you get back your money, that's enough, I know... Is there a show tomorrow?"
Jiang Chi nodded: "Yes."
…
"An exterior scene, a night scene, if the old man is a little dissatisfied, it will take another day." In the private room, the corners of Ye Lang's eyes were already red, he blocked the wine glass someone handed him, and sneered, "There will be several scenes tomorrow." I couldn't come to the show at first, so I give you a face to come and play...you dare to pour me."
The people in the box laughed, and an actress who was familiar with Ye Lang smiled like a flower: "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you would have a show tomorrow, if I knew it, I wouldn't have teased you, blame Yu Xinyue, his boss didn't talk to us. Say."
Ye Lang is good-looking, and his demeanor is even more charming when he is drunk. The eyes of the whole box are almost focused on him. A female star next to him can't help but put down her figure, and personally pours a glass of water for Ye Lang and hands it over. Ye Lang raises her eyebrows , took the wine glass filled with water, raised his glass to the actress and gentleman, and smiled: "I did it for you."
The actress' face instantly flushed red.
It was Yu Xinyue who gave Ye Lang the wine. He made his debut a few years earlier than Ye Lang, and he also won Best Actor back then. The two have collaborated several times, and their relationship is considered good in the circle. Yu Xinyue heard that she raised her head and drained the wine in the wine glass, leaning against Ye Lang, and said, "What show will you play tomorrow? Or the glass one?"
"Yeah." Ye Lang rubbed the center of his brows, "Fortunately, there is no show in the morning... Otherwise, I will go there tomorrow smelling of alcohol, and I will be scolded to death by Ren Haichuan."
Yu Xinyue also drank a lot. He rubbed his face, recalled with great effort, and asked, "How long have you been filming? Has it been a month?"
"It will be two months soon." Ye Lang squinted his eyes slightly due to the dazzling lights in the box, "About four or five months..."
Yu Xinyue raised her eyebrows: "Don't tell me it's a small production and low cost movie? It's still taking so long?"
There was a little comfort in Ye Lang's eyes, and he mocked softly: "The film that won the award with it will be finished in two or three months, who are you fooling?"
Yu Xinyue smiled: "Awesome."
"Hey! The kid who played with you is called Jiang Chi." Yu Xinyue asked, "How is it?"
Ye Lang said: "Very good."
Yu Xinyue teased: "Little Fresh Meat..."
"No." Ye Lang shook his head, "It's not the kind that people can't find Bei after just a hug. He has a good temper, is quite modest, and his acting skills are good. That old Ren Haichuan likes him, saying that he puts his heart into it..."
"Okay, okay... too many interviews recently? What are you talking about with me?" Yu Xinyue lowered her voice, "I also heard about it two days ago. It seems that his contract with the original company will expire next year. I want to ask Let me ask you how this kid is doing, if the opportunity is right, I would like someone to get in touch to see if he is willing to come to us to develop."
Yu Xinyue co-founded Time Media with her old club a few years ago. It was not popular before, but the resources have been getting better and better in the past two years, and many artists have been signed within a year.
"There's nothing wrong with people." Ye Lang said, "Otherwise you come back to visit my class and see for yourself."
Yu Xinyue smiled: "Isn't it okay to look at the photos? You have to look at them face to face. I just want to ask about his temper and personality. I'm getting old and I can't stand those crazy people."
"Not crazy." Ye Lang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "The temper is okay, the frame of the face is fine, it's the kind that doesn't cripple, it's no problem for you to fish for a few years, and the figure..."
Ye Lang thought of something, and smiled.
"Oh." Yu Xinyue handed Ye Lang a cigarette with a smile, took one herself, and smiled vaguely while lighting the cigarette, "Don't listen to you praising male artists so much, what's wrong with your figure?"
Ye Lang took a puff of the cigarette, bit the cigarette holder lightly, and said with a smile: "The little butt is pretty up."
Yu Xinyue let out a muffled laugh: "Can it work, Ye Yingdi? After all, he is also the number one male god in the film and television industry. Is it appropriate to stare at his little fresh meat's ass all day long?"
"Requirements for filming." Ye Lang leaned on the sofa and said lazily, "Sign it, if you sign it, I can watch it every day."
Yu Xinyue glanced at him: "Really? I like him?"
Ye Lang took a puff of smoke and said, "Generally, the one who is playing with you is not familiar with him."
Yu Xinyue guessed it too. Seeing Ye Lang leaning on the backrest with his eyes closed, he knew that he was really drunk. He looked at the time and said, "Don't you have a show tomorrow? Or go back early? I'll see you off."
"No need." Ye Lang opened his eyes, "I asked Lao Jin to come pick me up."
Yu Xinyue was helpless, he thought he had a good relationship with Ye Lang, but Ye Lang was like this, as long as he touched alcohol, he would definitely not get in other people's cars, including him.
Ye Lang looked carefree. People in the same circle enjoy eating and friendship with everyone, but he has always distinguished some things, as if these friendships are only a necessary part of his work. No matter how good the external relationship looks, It will also be clearly divided by him outside the private sphere. For so many years, Yu Xinyue didn't know the exact location of Ye Lang's house.
Ye Lang combed her hair, picked up the phone with drunken eyes, opened the address book, slid to the list with the prefix J, blinked in a daze, and reluctantly sent a message: Shengshi Nianhua, come and pick me up.
Ye Lang threw the phone aside and laughed amidst the booing of the crowd: "Come on... Let Dad sing you one last song."
At the Jiangchi family at the same time, Geng Tian got up and said: "I don't know you are filming these days, and I haven't given you more assistants. I will mention something to the company tomorrow..."
"No, no, no." Jiang Chi shook his head hurriedly, "It's enough for Xiao Li to follow me, it's useless if there are too many, Ye Lang just brought two assistants there, and I pulled a bunch of black and white to let others think about it. "
Geng Tian thought about it, and sighed: "Okay, you are benevolent, let's not talk about anything else, let's shoot well, in the future..."
In the future, after the filming of the film is finished, it will be almost impossible to have the opportunity to contact Ye Lang again.
Geng Tian swallowed the second half of the sentence, and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Jiang Chi's cell phone vibrate.
Jiang Chi's cell phone was placed on the table, and with a vibration, the screen lit up:
[Golden age, come and pick me up]
