"Turn around, go back."
The driver Lao Jin glanced at Ye Ling from the rearview mirror, didn't dare to ask any more questions, turned from the next intersection, turned around and drove back.
Ye Lang took off his sunglasses, and said calmly, "Call the group for me, and tell me that I'm not feeling well, and I won't be able to return to the group until two days later."
Cen Wen looked at Ye Lang's expression anxiously, and consciously took out her mobile phone to ask for leave for Ye Lang.
Ye Lang said to Anya on the phone: "Go on."
"Jiangchi's company doesn't know what tricks they are doing. They found a marketing company. It just so happens that this company overlaps with our public relations contacts. Otherwise, we wouldn't know about it." Anya just received the news. Also in shock, she murmured, "I... I misunderstood Jiang Chi, he didn't rely on unspoken rules, this news is not wrong, before the role of Pei Ran was settled, Jiang Chi had contacted the crew and said If he passes the audition, he won't ask for a penny."
Ye Lang's eyes suddenly tightened.
"he… "
"This is too unreasonable. It's not a theme, nor can it be called a charity performance. He is a commercial idol artist, and he spared half a year to make this kind of film without paying a penny." Ann Ya said inconceivably, "Besides... it would be fine if their company forced him to take over for his transformation. They also found out that Jiang Chi was the one who cut the matter first and played it later. Their company didn't know about it until he joined the team. There was a lawsuit, but it seems that Jiang Chi managed to suppress it himself, and paid a large sum of liquidated damages, so it didn't come out."
Anya said with emotion: "Usually I don't see it. He really has ideas. He contacted the crew in private, and after finalizing the contract, he tried to find a way to appease the company. He kept everything secret. If his company didn't know what it was doing now, I guess we won't be able to find out, what exactly is he trying to do?"
Ye Lang squeezed the frame of the sunglasses with a click sound, moved his lips, but still didn't say what was on his lips.
Jiangchi... for himself
Ye Yingdi, who had become a habit of narcissism, suddenly became careful.
It seemed that if he inadvertently said something from his heart, he would scare Jiang Chi away.
If it's really for yourself.
Ye Lang's heart beat faster, that is to say, Jiang Chi has been telling himself...
"Leave this alone, don't you like him? It's good to know that he is not a hidden rule, it doesn't matter anymore." Anya interrupted Ye Lang's train of thought, and said, "Although I don't know what Jiangchi Company is doing, but they These small actions have not stopped these days, I suspect that they may not want to let Jiang Chi go, and I don’t know how to do it, in short... we may need to make preparations in advance.”
"What's the possibility? It's obvious that they don't want Jiang Chi to terminate the contract." Ye Lang temporarily suppressed his personal feelings and ordered to get down to business, "Notify the people in the studio, and count the people who can be used by Xingguang... all go Check, see what their company wants to do, and make preparations in advance, blame me, too careless."
Anya hesitated: "I... I have the worst plan. If they play malicious hype, then should we protect ourselves, or..."
Ye Lang said coldly: "Jiang Chi is already a quasi-artist of Xingguang, do you think you need to protect him?"
"When I say 'they', I don't just refer to Jiangchi Company." Anya talked about the facts and spread out the worse situation. , in case he is borrowing you..."
"I said it, I admit it." Ye Lang suppressed the fire with all his strength, "Is there anything else?"
Anya paused and sighed, "No more, I'll make arrangements now."
"Do it right away, no matter what tricks they want to play, they must be suppressed." Ye Lang suppressed his anger, "Otherwise, he and I will really..."
Ye Lang didn't know how many things about Jiang Chi he had missed. Up to now, he didn't want to take a step back, and he didn't allow Jiang Chi to retreat even an inch.
Anya heard Ye Lang's unfinished words and nodded: "I will try my best."
After all, I hung up the phone.
Ye Lang looked at the phone, hesitated for a moment, and then called Jiang Chi.
Jiang Chi's cell phone was turned off.
"Paralyzing..."
Ye Lang dropped her phone in agitation, feeling an indescribable anxiety in her chest.
On the way to the company, Jiang Chi answered several calls.
Geng Tian kept contacting him to inform him of the company's immediate situation, and repeatedly asked Jiang Chi to guarantee that he would not sell the company the letter he said was his wind report.
Geng Tian's mind is not that bad. After knowing the company's thoughtful and heinous plan, he didn't reveal to Jiang Chi in advance that he couldn't get over his conscience. Being angered, he would be put on small shoes by the higher-ups, he babbled endlessly, until Jiang Chi's cell phone died.
Jiang Chi put the dead phone in his pocket and got out of the car.
The sun at noon was dazzling, Jiang Chi squinted his eyes, without sunglasses or a mask, strode into the company, walked into the special elevator room, and went directly to the top floor.
…
"I called the director of his crew, and their director said that he didn't return to the set, and asked people to go to his house to find someone, but there was no one in his house, and then asked them to go to his company, and the people in their company shook their heads when they heard him. , Calling him will always turn off the phone!"
In the evening, Ye Lang was irritable like a lion, dropped his phone and said angrily, "Where else can he go?! Tell me where can he go?"
Cen Wen complained endlessly: "I have been contacting his agent. At first, the line was busy, but now the phone is turned off. You... You go out and look for it yourself, it's the same as our people looking for him."
"he… "
Ye Lang sat on the sofa, thinking about that person, wishing he could be caught and killed on the spot.
The entertainment headlines of the day were playing on the big TV in the living room. Ye Lang glanced at it a few times and was upset. He picked up the remote control and changed the channel repeatedly, feeling more and more impatient.
One of the star guest programs is being rebroadcasted, and it is the first episode of the interview with Jiang Chi.
This program focuses on tear-jerking and inspirational. The host and Jiang Chi are chatting while tasting tea, wishing to let Jiang Chi speak out all his thoughts, but Jiang Chi is very reserved. Occasionally, when he is asked that it is inconvenient to answer, he just bows his head and smiles. He is usually very vigorous. The host also softened his heart, and smiled helplessly: "You have such a good temper... I don't want to ask more questions, for fear of making you unhappy."
The host was asking about the situation of Jiang Chi's family, but was stopped by Jiang Chi's gentle voice.
Ye Lang watched the people grinding their teeth on the screen.
good temper? People who can be called with just a phone call on weekdays, now...
Ye Lang stood up again all of a sudden, and Cen Wen looked at him in fear, afraid that Ye Lang would go to the garage in a second, get into his big off-road vehicle and drive all the way to the headquarters of Century Entertainment Company, and go into the lobby to demand someone .
"Sister Anya said that it has been cleared up. Even if something happens, it can be suppressed. Nothing will come out. Don't worry." Cen Wen carefully persuaded Ye Lang, "An Ya will not harm you. , she doesn't dare to harm Jiang Chi, so don't be impatient..."
Cen Wen was pulling Ye Lang anxiously when Ye Lang's cell phone rang.
Cen Wen hurriedly said: "Sister Anya's call! There must be news!"
Ye Lang picked up the phone, his voice almost sparkled: "Hello?"
"I found it..." Anya's tone was unstable, "I'm sorry... it may be too late."
Anya really panicked this time. No matter how strong she is, she can't keep up with Jiangchi, who has countless insiders who have tipped off the news. Ye Lang's studio is step by step, and it is only now that she has figured out the cause and effect.
Ye Lang closed her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Say... with me, as long as he is well, it's never too late."
Anya made up her mind, and briefly explained what she learned about Century Entertainment's plan to Ye Lang.
When Anya received the news, she was also trembling with anger. Although she had been in the industry for many years, she was used to intrigue, and this was the first time she had seen an entertainment company with such low-handed tactics.
Fearing that Ye Lang would go mad with anger, she hurriedly continued: "But their wishful thinking has come to nothing! Jiang Chi... The conversation with them has completely collapsed, and they have been frightened. Even without our pressure, they dare not talk anymore. What are you doing?"
"Jiang Chi seems to have heard something. When he went to the company, he went to their senior executives and had a direct showdown: the company will hype you one second, and he will hold a press conference the next second, telling about him... about how he was hired by their company over the years. Up and down the unspoken rules of the big and small bosses."
"Of course it's all fake! No one has unspoken rules for him. I know the big boss of their company. An old man who is particularly disgusting with homosexuality is impossible."
"But if Jiang Chi wants to go all out and say that, their company will be completely stink."
"Jiang Chi has been well behaved all these years since his debut. He is very popular with the audience and has high credibility. If he dares to say something, others really dare to believe it."
"Jiang Chi is... desperately trying to get his own way, and he wants to fight with the company, and he is unwilling... to break up with you."
Anya's voice became hoarse as she spoke: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood him, he... His ability is indeed limited, but he is really protecting you with all his strength, and his company gave him such a good contract extension that he was even moved." Without him, why else? I take back what I said before, he should... just like you. "
"He likes you."
"I guess I've liked it for a long time."
On the TV, the host who was the guest of the star was smiling and asking Jiang Chi: "Then there should be someone who has a crush on it?"
Jiang Chi nodded: "Yes."
Ye Lang suddenly turned to look at the TV.
The host laughed and said, "Sure enough, people who have a crush on others are very gentle... how long have you been in love at that time?"
Jiang Chi smiled: "It's been a long time, I forgot how long."
"I didn't expect..." The host was surprised, "Is it worth spending such a long time to fall in love with someone secretly?"
Jiang Chi pursed his lips and nodded seriously: "I think it's worth it."
The host laughed and joked, Jiang Chi blushed a little.
The host continued to ask: "Then why is it a secret love and not a clear love?"
Jiang Chi smiled: "There must be unspeakable reasons why a crush becomes a crush."
"Hahaha, this sentence is well answered, so it's not easy to ask further? But I still don't understand, why would you have a crush on a boy as good as you." The host complimented Jiang Chi and smiled, " Don't you think it's a pity? All you have done is useless."
"Actually... it's not that bad to have a crush on someone." Jiang Chi thought for a while, and then said slowly, "It's not just the sustenance of superficial lust, but also... my own belief."
"Work hard for him, be better for him."
"When I staggered forward and fell to the ground, the person I thought of was the motivation for me to get up a thousand times after falling down a thousand times."
The host was a little moved when he thought of the early death of his mother that Jiang Chi hadtily avoided with a word that he had just talked about.
Jiang Chi himself is very optimistic: "Although we have not been together these years, and his life has never left traces of me. But he has indeed accompanied me through the first half of my life without knowing it. There are countless important nodes in it."
"How many times, how many things, when I couldn't bear it myself, I survived by relying on the belief of loving him."
"In it, loss and gain, bitterness and joy. All kinds of tastes are like drinking water."
"I know the pain."
"Have fun too."
A sentence that was edited in the later stage was like a knife, stabbing into Ye Lang's heart one by one.
There was blood on the knife.
Ye Lang's eyes trembled as she stared at the people on the TV screen.
"I'm your fan and have always... liked you very much."
"But it's hard for me to have a meal with you alone."
"I'm here to visit you."
Ye Lang clenched her fists unconsciously, her chest heaved and fell, and countless fragments of her heart surged at the same time, all gathered together to ridicule him, how indifferent and dull he was.
Anya didn't know why Ye Lang stopped talking suddenly, so she called him twice and said, "First... don't worry about this, Jiang Chi has shocked Century Entertainment, he did it because of fame and fortune, but their company Not wanting to make such a big fall for him, Century Entertainment has already shelved the original plan, but...Jiang Chi killed one thousand enemies this time and lost eight hundred."
"Century Entertainment has offended almost all the companies for him. No one will sign him now. Today... I can't help it. I asked the people from Starlight to help with the investigation. This matter cannot be hidden from the people from Starlight. Got it too."
"I know he's all for you, but to be honest... no one wants to sign an artist with such a strong personality. The people on the side of Xingguang don't look like much on the surface, and they even said a few words of admiration, but they must be afraid in their hearts." Jiang Chi, what he said was not what he said, he didn't want to get into this trouble...Jiang Chi played too much today, he offended everyone... "
Ye Lang finally found his voice, he was full of hostility, and asked, "What did you say?"
Anya said embarrassingly, "Don't worry, I'll go find Mr. Ye right away. If there is him, the senior executives of Starlight probably wouldn't dare to say anything."
"They don't want to sign anymore?" Ye Lang has a volcano built up in his chest, and he has nowhere to go, when someone bumps into the muzzle of the gun, "Don't want to sign? They like to sign or not! Fuck him, am I begging them? !"
Anya said anxiously: "Don't do this! Jiangchi has completely collapsed with Shiji, and he will go to Xingguang sooner or later. You will make it difficult for him to do so in the future."
"Who said he would go to Xingguang sooner or later?!" Ye Lang had flames in every word, "Go... Now, let the people from the legal department draw up the contract, I don't need Xingguang anymore! I will sign it myself!"
Anya was dumbfounded: "What do you mean?"
"I don't have a studio of my own?! Do I need someone else's company for my own people?" Ye Ling's eyes were red, he looked around the living room, picked up the car keys, and said quickly as he walked out, "Let the PR The department is now starting to draft the draft, Jiang Chihui is the first artist signed by Ye Lang Studio other than the boss, I don't need anyone else, I will sign him and support him myself."
Ye Lang unscrewed the door, smelling gunpowder all over his body: "Send me the PR draft right away, Century Entertainment, right? Send them a copy first, and tell them clearly, I'll snatch them away! Let them come to me If you don’t hate this family, I’ll take their surname from now on! I…”
Ye Lang held up his phone and car keys, looked at the people not far from the door, and suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.
Ten meters away, Jiang Chi, who had disappeared for a long time and no one could find him, had disheveled hair and disheveled clothes.
He was carrying two large suitcases, dragging them toward Ye Lang's gate as if he was fleeing.
The disheveled Jiang Chi looked up and saw Ye Lang, his pale face became bloody instantly, he held the handle of the suitcase awkwardly, moved his lips, but didn't speak.
