Near noon, the sun was rising, Su's father had enough swings, Chen Jianan carried him off the swing, put him back in the wheelchair, he was probably relieved, Su's father waved his hands, babbling loudly, The saliva also flowed more happily along the corners of the mouth.
Su Zhizhi got up and walked over, took a handkerchief and wiped it for her father: "Father, are you hungry? Let's go back to the house for dinner." Then he said to Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan, "Anan Ahwen stay and have a light meal together before going back."
Naturally, Chen Jianan was acquainted with it, and Qiao Wen also followed suit. After eating and drinking, the two finally returned to the empty next door.
After entering the room, Qiao Wen asked casually, "Brother Nan, what do you think of Sister Zhizhi?"
Chen Jianan had just eaten a delicious lunch, so he was naturally full of praise: "Well, this is a big star, a bit airy, serious about filming, our future films You can cooperate with her more." He paused after finishing speaking, "But..."
"But what?" Qiao Wen looked at him curiously.
Chen Jianan tilted his head and frowned, thinking, "I always feel that sister Zhizhi is too good, too good to be true."
Qiao Wen thought to himself that it wasn't his own delusion. Since a careless guy like Chen Jianan can feel Su Zhizhi's unreality, then there is a problem.
However, with the information he has now, Su Zhizhi does not have any problems except that Zhou Chaozheng is behind it.
And for such a miserable girl, he really hoped that he was being overwhelmed.
Because "Bravely Entering the World" was so popular, it was screened in theaters for two full months, and the box office finally passed 6 million smoothly. In order to celebrate the achievements of this film, Wennan Films held a celebration banquet and invited dozens of media.
Li Xingchen's contract with Baozhutai will end at the end of the month, and Qiao Wen confirmed with him two days earlier. When the contract ends, they will sign the contract, so today's celebration banquet is also preparing to announce this news.
Li Xingchen is a popular TV niche, and now he has left Baozhu TV to work in the film industry, and many companies are waiting to recruit him. Although the popularity of "Bravely Entering the World" has long made the outside world speculate that Li Xingchen's next owner will be Wennan Films, which has just popped up, but when everything is officially announced, everything is guaranteed. .
So most of the reporters in the media are here today for this purpose.
However, more than ten minutes after the celebration meeting started, Li Xingchen, who was always punctual, still showed up.
Qiao Wen called to go to his apartment, but no one answered. In this era of mobile phones, it is impossible to find someone if you suddenly miss an appointment like this. In the end, Chen Jianan was asked to tell the reporter that Li Xingchen was temporarily absent tonight and attended as scheduled.
Fortunately, Chen Jianan has accumulated a wealth of head-to-head capabilities to deal with reporters since the incident of beating the ghost in the bar. A few gags distracted the reporters present, and he soon forgot to ask about Li Xingchen's signing.
At the same time, Li Xingchen, who was supposed to attend the celebration banquet, just got off the boat, landed on Lamma Island, and was led into a private house by two men.
The lights were on in the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his cousin Li Xinghai tied to the chair in the center.
Seeing him coming in, Li Xinghai widened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Ah Chen, save me!"
Standing next to him were a few people of dark society appearance, and a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit and leather shoes was idly sitting on the sofa.
Li Xingchen met this person several times and recognized him as Wu Zhunyun, Lu Handong's assistant.
Wu Zhunyun got up unhurriedly, walked over in a hurry, and stretched out his hand politely: "Mr. Li, good evening."
Li Xingchen skipped his hand, only frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
Wu Zhunyun didn't feel embarrassed, and naturally withdrew his hand, still looking polite: "We just invite Mr. Li to be a guest, and talk about cooperation by the way."
"Are you talking about cooperation? You are the underworld? It's a crime. I won't cooperate with you. I want to call the police and let the police arrest you."
Li Xinghai shouted: "Ah Chen, save brother!"
Wu Zhunyun glanced at the tied person, patted his forehead, as if he suddenly remembered something, waved to his subordinates to release him, and said: "Mr. Li misunderstood, we are not What to do with Brother Ling, it's just that he's a bit annoying, so I got someone to tie him up. Now that you're here, let's sit down and talk."
Li Xingchen pulled his exiled cousin behind him, and said angrily, "We have nothing to talk about."
Li Xinghai tremblingly whispered: "Ah Chen, we want to hang out in the movie circle, Boss Lu must not offend him."
Wu Zhunyun didn't think so, but he bent his mouth: "It seems that brother is making sense." He threw a file bag on the wooden coffee table in the house, and said, "It's a relationship, we are not what others can do. People, this is a condition of cooperation, you can consider it slowly."
Li Xingchen said: "I have already negotiated with Wennan Films, and I will not consider you."
"Wennan Films?" Wu Zhunyun said, "They are really good, but they have only made one movie, so it's hard to say what will happen in the future. We Tengxing has been established for almost four years and has made dozens of movies. , each box office adds up to tens of millions. I dare not say that it is the first in the industry, but its strength is definitely much stronger than that of a small company that has just been established. The two Mr. Li still think carefully before making a decision. " He raised his hand and glanced at the wristwatch in his hand, "It's getting late, you two can go upstairs to rest first, and in the next few days, it will be considered a vacation on the island."
"Are you kidnapping and imprisoning us?" Li Xingchen asked coldly.
Wu Zhunyun spread his hands: "Mr. Li has said too much now, you are completely free, and you will not be stopped by anyone if you want to leave, but you will not get on the boat to leave the island these days. We are just kind enough to take in you who have no way to leave the island."
"you… "
"Okay, you two have a good rest."
Wu Zhunyun really took people away, leaving no one behind. Li Xingchen said: "Brother, let's go quickly!"
Li Xinghai took his arm, and said with a bitter face, "Where are we going? This Wu has already mentioned the boat."
Li Xingchen didn't believe that Lu Handong had controlled the entire Lamma Island. Seeing that his cousin was scared to death, he kept him in the house first, and went out to see the situation by himself.
In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanent source replacement App as soon as possible, huanyuanapp.org
Lu Handong's people did come to stop him, but he ran around and finally rented a boat, and finally returned to the previous private house angrily.
At this time, Li Xinghai was paralyzed on the sofa, flipping through the document left by Wu Zhunyun, his eyes lit up when his cousin came back, and said: "Ah Chen, I think the conditions offered by Tengxing are not bad. Ten plays, each with a salary of 200,000, that is 2 million. During this period of time, I have seen the conditions offered by other companies, and they are not as good as Tengxing. I think otherwise we will sign Tengxing. With the background of Boss Lu, he will also walk sideways in the film industry in the future."
Li Xingchen hated iron and said: "Brother, with their style of doing things, should we take the lead? They are the underworld, they sold us back, and they have to count the money for them."
Li Xinghai twitched his lips and said, "Nowadays, how many people who are engaged in movies are clean? Nan, the handsome boy of Wennan Films, was not a red stick in the society before."
Thinking of my cousin filming "Bravely Entering the World" during this period, and always hanging out with that group of people, it seems that I don't listen to myself more and more. Li Xinghai was a little annoyed, he suspected that if his cousin really signed a contract with Wennan Films, it wouldn't be long before he would be completely out of his control.
Li Xingchen said: "They are different."
"Why is it different?"
"At least there will be no threat of kidnapping. Brother, you have been kidnapped here by Lu Handong's people, why do you still speak for them?"
Li Xinghai irritatedly said: "I'm not thinking for you? We have no background, how can we get along after offending Lu Handong? Don't you want to go back to the poor life of the past?"
Li Xingchen fell silent, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "It's not good to be poor, I'm afraid it's you who will go back in the past, right?"
Hearing this, Li Xinghai threw the documents in his hand heavily on the coffee table, stood up and said angrily: "Ah Chen, you have to be conscientious in life. You have been raised by your parents since childhood, and our family raised you. The poorest family In those few days, my parents ate bran and swallowed vegetables by themselves, and let you eat good food. They were more sympathetic to you than my son. If it weren't for them, why would you be here today?"
Li Xingchen's eyes flickered, his expression softened and he said, "Brother, don't worry, even if I go to the pier to carry sandbags, I will respect my uncle and aunt."
Seeing him backing down, Li Xinghai of course also backed down, patted the other side's shoulder before walking forward, and said warmly: "Ah Chen, there are many people who want to be big stars in this world, but they are successful." Just a few of them, you have to eat today as God’s reward, so let’s not disappoint God’s kindness, shall we? Come on, you have a look at this contract, so as not to deceive you for me.”
Li Xingchen waved his hand: "No need, we'll go upstairs to rest, and we'll figure out a solution the next day."
A gloomy look flashed across Li Xinghai's face, but he followed him downstairs.
Although Wu Zhunyun didn't seem to limit their freedom and ordered good food to be delivered on time, however, after three days, Li Xingchen also chartered a boat to leave. There is not much electricity on the island, and people refuse to borrow electricity. This is really no different from being imprisoned.
On the evening of the third day, Wu Zhunyun, who looked like a dog in a suit and leather shoes, appeared again.
"Mr. Li, three days, have you considered it?"
Li Xingchen said: "I told you, I won't sign a contract with you. Even if I give you another 30 days, the answer will be the same. If you are capable, your parents and I will be locked up here for the rest of your life."
"What is Mr. Li talking about!" Wu Zhunyun shook his head, slowly took out a stack of photos from his pocket, threw them in front of the two of them, and then continued lightly, "Otherwise, Mr. Li, after reading Let’s talk about these photos.”
Li Xingchen picked up the photo, and on it was a photo of his cousin Li Xinghai having a tryst with an attractive woman, because he didn't know this woman, so he just showed suspicion. But Li Xinghai at the side turned pale with shock, tremblingly said: "How did you get these photos?"
Wu Zhunyun said: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing. Mr. Li dared to have an affair with Mr. Chen's beautiful wife, because he thought about it?"
"I...we're broken."
"It's wise to accept it when you see it. But Mr. Guo is almost 60 years old and married such a beautiful wife. If he knows that he has been cuckolded, what do you think he will do? I am afraid that you will be sent to prison for adultery. How many times is not a problem."
Mr. Guo is one of the most powerful Chinese officials on Hong Kong Island. The governor of Hong Kong has a close relationship with the British royal family. After the death of his original wife, he married his current wife, Li Relying on his cousin's popularity as a young student, Xingchen leaped from the grassroots to the upper class, and on some occasion, he met Mr. Guo, the lovely wife. Although he is not good-looking, he is far away from his cousin, but he is good at talking, and he is the younger brother of a popular niche. Mrs. Guo's beautiful wife can't bear the emptiness and loneliness. Been sneaking around for a while.
Li Xingchen didn't know about this at all. Hearing Wu Zhunyun's words at this moment, he was shocked and looked at his cousin who was as pale as paper, and said angrily, "Brother, are you crazy?"
Li Xinghai faltered and said: "I... I was also fascinated by ghosts for a while."
Li Xingchen closed his eyes in grief, and since he became popular as the protagonist on Baozhu Stage, most of the money he earned was handed over to his cousin. At first Li Xinghai just became extravagant, but later he gradually got involved in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and now he is so bold that he has an affair with Mrs. Guo's wife.
What is Mr. Guo's background? Is it the heads of these grassroots people who are offended
Li Xinghai also seemed frightened, and before he walked out, he grabbed Wu Zhunyun's sleeve and said, "Mr. Wu, please speak carefully!"
A trace of contempt floated from the corner of Wu Zhunyun's mouth, and he took his sleeves in a calm manner, raised his brows and looked at Li Xingchen with a serious face, and said: "Of course we intend to have a good talk, the key is that your cousin, Would you like to give us this chance?"
Li Xinghai came to his senses, turned around quickly, grabbed his cousin's arm, and said with snot and tears: "Ah Chen, brother is wrong this time, please save brother. If these photos fall into the hands of Mr. Guo, I will This life is over." After finishing speaking, he took the previous contract and stuffed it into Li Xingchen's hands, "Just three times, and after three times, you can sign whoever you want. Just help brother This time, brother promises not to cause trouble again."
Li Xingchen looked at this elder brother who had grown up together with a blank expression, feeling utterly disappointed.
But it was not like this when I was a child. At that time, Li Xinghai would always keep delicious food for himself, and his brother would protect him when he was bullied. He also said that when he grew up, he would make money for his family. People live a good life. Although the whole family lived in a small dilapidated house at that time, they lived comfortably.
These things, he made money, bought a big house, and the family lived a good life. But the relatives who used to take care of themselves and protect themselves only know how to use themselves, deceive themselves, and regard themselves as money-making machines.
Why did it become like this
money? Fame and fortune
He originally thought it was a good thing, but now he realized that it was just a poison that corrupted people's hearts.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother, this is the last time. If you have an accident in the future, I won't care about you."
Li Xinghai showed joy, and nodded again and again: "Ah Chen, don't worry, it won't happen. If I want to make another mistake, don't recognize me as a brother again."
Li Xingchen didn't say anything else, but with a pale face, he glanced at the contract hastily, signed his name on the last page, then wiped the ink pad with his fingers, and put his handprint next to the signature.
Wu Zhunyun took the contract he handed over, turned to the last page and glanced at it, curled the corner of his mouth, and said: "Mr. Li, we have a happy cooperation, we will do our best to serve you Create the highest quality video."
Li Xingchen said coldly: "Can we go home now?"
"Of course, I will arrange a boat to take the two of you back. The company will hold a press conference tomorrow and arrange a driver to pick you up."
Li Xingchen walked out without turning his head, and Li Xinghai hurriedly followed him.
"Achen, don't worry, brother will not make mistakes again in the future."
"Three years will pass soon. Tengxing will give you good conditions, that is, to praise you. If you don't point to these two, you will become a first-line movie star."
…
Li Xingchen didn't listen to a word.
The past few months of filming "Bravely Entering the World" have been the happiest period since he entered the industry. These friends made him feel that doing this is not a bad thing, and he also thought about signing a contract with Wennan Films , I finally got hope in the future.
Three times is indeed fleeting.
But now that I have released Arwen and the others, and betrayed my friends, what face will I have to see them in the future? Do you still expect that after three years, people will still extend an olive branch to themselves
It's over, it's over.
Perhaps, from the moment he became famous, his life was over. Because I am no longer myself, but a marionette at the mercy of others.
When the Li family brothers returned, Qiao Wen still found out the whereabouts of Li Xingchen. Two days ago, because they couldn't find anyone, they went to Li Xingchen's uncle and aunt's house to ask about the situation.
The couple, who do not live with their son and nephew, knew nothing about the brothers' disappearance.
Qiao Wen was sure that Li Xingchen was in serious trouble, and when he was about to seek help from the police, he received a call from the Zhang family early the next morning, saying that Li Xingchen and Tengxing were going to hold a wedding at the Peninsula Hotel. signing ceremony.
"What? Li Xingchen wants to sign a contract with Tengxing?" Qiao Wen almost thought he heard it wrong.
The person over there nodded and said, "That's wrong, our newspaper office has just received an invitation, and I'm about to rush over."
"Okay, I see."
Qiao Wen hung up the phone, and Chen Jianan, who stood beside him with his ears pricked up, widened his eyes and said, "Li Xingchen wants to sign a contract with the man? Why don't you tell us in advance, it's not a trick for us , hit us in the face?"
Qiao Wen frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Ah Chen is not such a person."
Chen Jianan nodded: "I know he's not, but isn't his cousin taking care of his job? It's probably because of some attractive conditions offered by Mantoudong. Of course..." He curled his lips, "It can be Threatened by Laitoudong, some time ago, how did the theater arrange the filming of "Heroes of Heaven". Later, many theater owners were threatened and had to reschedule their films. Laidoudong and his Tengxing Specialized in the work of rogues and bullies."
Qiao Wen said: "No matter what, let's go to the Tengxing press conference to see what's going on."
