The signing ceremony between Tengxing and Li Xingchen was very grand. Reporters and bureaucrats from all walks of life flocked to the venue. Due to the large number of people, Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan also entered the venue smoothly.
The host of the signing ceremony invited famous celebrities from Hong Kong Island, and several artists under Tengxing attended the ceremony, including Lin Jiali who had just signed a contract with Tengxing not long ago. Speaking of it, it was enough for Li Xingchen.
Hundreds of people in the venue were all focused on today's protagonist, and no one noticed Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan sitting in the last corner.
Wearing a white suit, Lu Handong sat in the center of the rostrum. On the left was his deputy, Wu Zhunyun, and on the right was Li Xingchen, the protagonist who was doing his part today. The rest of the stars sat on both sides in turn.
The popularity of "Bravely Entering the World" made Li Xingchen launch the first shot in the film industry, transformed himself from a TV niche into a movie star, and his fame and social value have risen a big step. In terms of fame and popularity alone, he is the hottest male star on Hong Kong Island recently.
After the contract between and Baozhutai expired, everyone paid attention to 's direction. The original news released was that they would not sign a contract with Wennan Films, which seemed to be a matter of course. Unexpectedly, Wennan Films held a celebration banquet a few days ago, and Li Xingchen turned around and signed with Tengxing.
This is simply a slap in the face of Wen Nan. After all, it is a small company and cannot retain people.
Qiao Wen didn't care about the media's speculation, but now his attention was on Li Xingchen.
Over the past few months, due to Guang's frequent visits to the class, Ji and Li Xingchen have gotten along a lot, and they have long been friends with each other. After living for two generations, I dare not say anything else, but I think there is still a little bit of judging people.
Li Xingchen is by no means an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. He can't go back on what he said before without saying a word, and he slapped them in the face in this way.
The most important thing is that in those few months, Qiao Wen obviously felt that Li Xingchen was not very happy on the set, and the gloom before almost disappeared from his face, and the other party really liked to be with him. we get along. As for Li Xingchen who was sitting on the stage at this moment, the gloom that had disappeared before clearly shrouded his whole body again.
Qiao Wen narrowed his eyes, and he was 100% sure that this contract was not signed by Li Xingchen voluntarily.
After the introduction by the master of ceremonies, Lu Handong turned to the light board, picked up the microphone and stood up, eloquently eloquently began to perform. Qiao Wen didn't listen to a word, but kept staring at Li Xingchen who was next to him with his head bowed.
After Lu Han finished talking eloquently, he turned to look at Li Xingchen, and said with a smile, "Ah Chen, come and say a few words to the reporters."
Li Xingchen seemed to have never heard of it.
Lu Handong was displeased, but still had a smile on his face. He patted the other party's shoulder with a big hand, and repeated: "Ah Chen, tell me a few words."
Li Xingchen suddenly came back to his senses, stood up in a trance, glanced blankly at the banquet hall, his eyes fell on the faces of Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan in the corner, he was slightly stunned, and hurried as if he was electrocuted Look away.
"Thank you everyone!" Her lips parted for a moment, and finally these few words came out with difficulty.
The master of ceremonies is a fine person, seeing that the situation is not right, he hurriedly came out to smooth things over, and asked two staff members to bring up a huge check, which was a one million signing bonus. There was no big card, Lu Handong and Li Xingchen each held one head in front of them, asking the reporters below to take pictures.
It's just that in the camera, one is full of enthusiasm and smiles, and the other is depressed and unhappy.
The signing ceremony was not lengthy, and Li Xingchen did not accept an interview, saying that he was in a hurry and left with Lu Handong ahead of schedule, leaving only a few stars from Tengxing to deal with the enthusiastic media.
Seeing this, Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan left early, taking advantage of not being noticed, and quietly followed in the footsteps of Lu Handong's group.
We went to the underground parking lot.
At this time, the parking lot was empty, only our group of people.
It happened so suddenly that Qiao Wen almost didn't react. I saw a group of people ahead, stopping beside a Mercedes. Lu Handong suddenly turned around, raised his fist and slammed Li Xingchen's face fiercely, and said angrily, "What do you mean by your mother's sad face? Is someone murdered at home?"
Li Xingchen's reaction was fairly timely, but he still couldn't dodge the punch.
With a bang, it was especially harsh in the quiet underground.
Qiao Wen's heart skipped a beat, and even thinking about it with his toes, he knew how heavy the punch was.
Li Xingchen covered his face and looked at the angry Lu Handong in shock. And Lu Handong obviously wasn't finished yet, he raised his fist and was about to punch again, but Wu Zhunyun held him back: "Brother Dong, calm down, I'll join the group after a while, I won't be able to film if I hurt my face .”
Li Xinghai also tremblingly stood in front of his cousin, saying submissively: "Lu Boss, it's my younger brother who is ignorant, don't be angry." He pulled Li Xingchen and said, "Ah Chen, don't hesitate to give Lu Boss apology."
Li Xingchen was shocked and humiliated again, clenched his fist tightly with a hand hanging by his side, and stared at Lu Handong fiercely with a livid face.
Lu Handong sneered and said, "What? You still want to fight back with me? Don't you want to see if you have this problem? Let me tell you, you signed a contract with us in black and white, and the one million signing bonus has already been paid. If you enter your account, whether you want to or not, ten films will be filmed for me. If you don’t want to do it, then according to the contract, you will pay double the signing bonus and the total film remuneration. Redeem yourself." Then he spat viciously again, "I'll give you enough face, hold such a big ceremony for you, and let a few stars under my banner serve as foils for you. You are good, the whole funeral The face is like kissing your own mother. After a scene, you really take yourself seriously. I step on you is not as easy as stepping on an ant.
Li Xinghai said with a shy face: "Lu Boss, don't be angry, it's Ah Chen who doesn't know people."
Lu Handong looked at Li Xingchen contemptuously, and said, "There are so many men who sell their asses in your business. You really make me unhappy. Believe it or not, I will send you to a man's bed."
Li Xingchen bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes were flushed.
Lu Handong relieved himself after cursing, snorted coldly, and said, "Let's go!"
He got into the Mercedes with a few of his men, and quickly drove away, leaving only the two brothers of the Li family in place.
Seeing his cousin covering one side of his face all the time, Li Xinghai said tentatively, "Ah Chen, let me see your face?"
"It's okay." Li Xingchen lowered his head, waved his hands and said, "You go, I want to be alone for a while."
Li Xinghai continued as if he didn't hear it, "Ah Chen, it's not that I'm talking about you, you're too ignorant, on what occasion today, you've been downcast the whole time, and you're too ungrateful to Lu. It's only strange if you don't get angry!"
Li Xingchen turned a deaf ear and said: "You go, I really want to be quiet."
Li Xinghai sighed, and continued: "People have to bow their heads under the roof."
Li Xingchen finally seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He raised his head and roared, "I'll let you go! Don't you understand human speech?"
Li Xinghai seemed to realize that his cousin was really angry, so he hurriedly said, "I'll leave now, I don't have the car for you, I'll go out and call a taxi. Don't stay outside for too long, be careful." A reporter will come down later."
Seeing that his cousin's face was so ugly that it was frightening, he didn't dare to say any more, and ran away quickly with his two not very long legs.
After the people left, Li Xingchen slumped his shoulders, walked to the side of the load-bearing column, leaned on it as if he was relieved, slowly slid down to the ground, and then buried his face in his knees.
Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan, who were standing in the dark, looked at each other tacitly, nodded, and walked towards the man squatting on the ground.
The two walked all the way to Li Xingchen, and the other party reacted belatedly. He was probably just a reporter. He quickly wiped his eyes and raised his head. When he saw the two familiar faces above him, he was shocked. He opened his eyes wide, then quickly lowered his head as if remembering something, stood up and said "I'm sorry", then hurried to his car as if fleeing.
It's just that he just opened the door and got into the car, Chen Jianan's sharp hands quickly got into the co-pilot who was in the car, stopped his hand from starting the car, and turned around to open the door of the rear seat to let the speed Qiao Wen, who was a little slower, got into the car.
Qiao Wen sat up unhurriedly, and said, "Ah Chen, we are friends, what happened, why didn't you tell us?"
"That's right, my pretty boy Nan's friend will stand by and watch when he encounters difficulties? Speaking of which, that scumbag is not a thing, you are a star who just signed after all, and you actually fight with you!"
Li Xingchen lowered his head, unwilling to show his red and swollen cheeks to the two of them, he said dumbly: "Awen Anan, I'm sorry for you, please don't get up, I don't want to hurt you."
Qiao Wen chuckled: "No matter what, you have to tell us what happened. It's better for everyone to figure out a solution together than for a person like you to suffer silently."
Chen Jianan echoed: "Yeah, what kind of thing is Mantou Dong? People dragged her into the Kowloon Walled City and killed them without anyone noticing."
Qiao Wen: "..."
Hearing what he said, Li Xingchen quickly raised his head and said, "Don't tell Brother Feng, I don't want to cause trouble for you."
Qiao Wen said: "Ah Chen, we are law-abiding citizens, and we will not use the underworld to solve problems casually. Don't be afraid, just tell me what's going on, and we will slowly figure out a solution together."
Li Xingchen shook his head: "Ah Wen, Lu Handong is not easy to mess with, this is my own business, I really can't implicate you. What's the matter..." He paused slightly, "I have already signed a contract with Tengxing, It is useless to say anything now. If I have not been abolished in Tengxing for the past three years, you are still willing to accept me, and I will work with you again."
Qiao Wen knew that he had made up his mind, so he didn't want to be aggressive, so he turned around and said, "You were coerced by Lu Handong to sign this contract, right?"
Li Xingchen remained silent.
Qiao Wen understood it, and said again: "Lu Handong's filming is just to clean up his crimes. It is impossible to threaten human life casually. It may only be that there is something in his hands."
Li Xingchen still didn't speak.
Qiao Wen continued: "You have always been disciplined and disciplined in your conduct, and there is no reason to be coerced, so it can only be your cousin."
Li Xingchen raised his head suddenly, and looked at her pleadingly: "Ah Wen, don't get up, the matter has come to this, even if I tell you, so what?"
Qiao Wen was about to collapse when he saw it, obviously he didn't want to talk about it with himself. It is estimated that in addition to not wanting to cause trouble for them, it is also because the family does not want to make public.
"Okay, I'm sorry. But no matter what, you are still a friend of Anan and me. If you need help with anything, you can tell us right away."
"That's right," Chen Jianan echoed, "Although we are not as rich and powerful as Lu Handong now, and we are not as rich and powerful as Lu Handong, and we are not like those who lean on a big tree with their backs, but we are not people who have nothing to do and no one, so don't worry about getting involved. us."
Li Xingchen choked up and said, "Thank you."
Qiao Wen thought for a while, and said: "You are in an unstable state now, and I'm afraid it's unsafe to drive. Let Brother Nan drive you back."
Li Xingchen didn't refuse this time, Shan Ruliu and Chen Jianan switched positions.
When the car was not driving out, it happened to meet a wave of reporters and tried to stop the car for interviews. Chen Jianan made a turn, like a dragon wagging its tail, leaving him behind.
Li Xingchen originally used Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan as the first time to challenge himself for betrayal. No, they didn't doubt her behavior at all, but they were concerned about what happened to her from the beginning to the end.
Let me rest assured, you are indeed true friends, but Li Xingchen also has true friends. So the pain and humiliation brought by Lu Handong's fist subconsciously subsided a lot.
I just felt more and more guilty.
Before the car reached the apartment building, Chen Jianan turned off the engine and got out of the car with Qiao Wen.
Li Xingchen also came down, but Lu Handong's punch didn't save effort, his face was still red and swollen, but he could still see his original handsomeness, he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Awen Anan ,thank you all."
Chen Jianan waved his hand indifferently: "I just drove you back, anyway, Xiao Qiao and I have nothing to do today. You go back and have a good rest, get some medicine to wipe your face, you rely on your face to make a living Don't let the mangy Dongna Wang Bazi not ruin your face, I think it's because I'm jealous of your good looks."
Li Xingchen smiled wryly, and looked at the two enviously: "You two brothers are so close."
Qiao Wen raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Jianan, and met his superior pair of rather smug eyes, and then stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulders: "That's right, Xiao Qiao and I haven't been together for a lifetime. Together, life-threatening friendship, we will not betray each other even if the knife rests on our necks."
The meaning of these words is to sprinkle salt on someone's scars, and Li Xingchen's red and swollen face really showed sadness.
Qiao Wen quickly poked the waist of the guy next to him with his elbow, signaling that he should not talk nonsense.
Chen Jianan obediently kept his mouth shut.
"Achen, go back and rest, and give your face a good look. Call us if you have something to do." Then he said, "I still say that, no matter where you are, you are my friend and Anan."
Li Xingchen's eyes did not turn red, and he nodded vigorously.
Because of Li Xingchen's signing with Tengxing, Wennan Films must have been harassed by various reporters these days. In order to be quiet, Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan did not go back to the apartment, but went to the villa in the middle of the mountain.
As soon as he entered the room, Chen Jianan stretched out and lay down on the leather sofa, sighed and said, "This street in the east, are we really going to watch Ah Chen being forced to film for him for three years? Who knows what I'll ask Chen to shoot? Maybe pornographic movies? Isn't Teng Xing good at this?"
Qiao Wen hadn't thought of this before, but when he mentioned it, the alarm bell rang. With Li Xingchen's popularity, it is of course a waste to make this kind of film, but Li Xingchen did not voluntarily sign the contract with Tengxing. In anger, it is not impossible to force her to make pornographic films.
Qiao Wen was sitting at Chen Jianan's feet, frowning and thinking, when the phone next to him rang, and he picked it up to answer it.
It was Jiang Yufeng calling.
"Xiao Qiao, what's going on with Ah Chen? Didn't he do it with you? Why did he suddenly sign the manger? Ah Xue just called me and cried, saying that Ah Chen must have been forced to sign Tengxing. .”
Qiao Wen said: "We only found out today, but what is certain is that Ah Chen was indeed coerced by Laidoudong."
"No, why don't you ask us for help if you have something to do? No matter how stupid you are, you know that Chen is under my cover, so you definitely don't dare to mess around."
Qiao Wen said: "A few days ago I couldn't get in touch with you. It should be controlled by Lu Handong. I guess I can't ask for help. I guess I was forced to sign a contract before I regained my freedom."
Jiang Yufeng swears on the other end of the phone, then sighed and said, "It's Axue who knows about this, so she must be very angry. So what should I do now? Is there any room for change?"
Qiao Wen said: "The contract has been signed. If you break the contract, you will have to pay several million. Chen used to get a salary from a TV station, plus some business activities. The income is not comparable to that of a movie star. This money is too much to afford." .Besides, let Lu Handong get such a sum of money in vain, that would be really stupid." He paused, and then said, "The question now is, A Chen didn't tell us what happened because he was afraid of hurting us. Now, let us leave it alone."
Jiang Yufeng sighed: "This guy... really..."
Qiao Wen said: "No matter what, we definitely can't just sit idly by. Ah Chen really stayed in Tengxing for three years, and he probably committed suicide due to depression. I'll go and find out what's going on, and I need to come back later. I'll find you again for help."
"Okay, okay, if you need any help, call me anytime. It's just a gangster. Our Kowloon Walled City Hexing Society is not afraid of it."
The problem of the slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source. Download the huanyuanapp.org source change app here, and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.
Qiao Wen smiled: "Brother Feng, now the Walled City is no longer a three-way zone, you should be careful, the lawlessness of the past can no longer be used."
Jiang Yufeng smiled: "Don't worry, I have a measure."
After hanging up the phone, when Qiao Wen turned around, Chen Canaan sat up and looked at her with wide black eyes. When she saw her looking over, she shrank her legs and moved her buttocks, almost touching her. .
"What for?"
Chen Jianan's eyes sparkled and said: "Otherwise, we'll just tie up Li Xinghai and make it clear. I think that guy is a bear. My younger brother wouldn't even dare to let anyone spank him. Toudong apologizes. If you arrest me, I think you can tell the whole story if you scare me casually."
Qiao Wen couldn't help laughing: "Guiding Chen, leader Chen, why are you still engaging in gangsters\\society? It's not difficult to catch people back, but you can guarantee that you're telling the truth? Li Xinghai's being cowardly doesn't mean he's stupid, on the contrary My cousin is much more shrewd. Maybe he didn’t reveal the facts, and even made a fool of himself, which made Lu Handong more prepared.”
Chen Jianan nodded: "That's true."
Qiao Wen said: "But the question must have appeared on Li Xinghai, I asked Zhang Jiaming to help find out, what kind of clues fell into Lu Handong's hands."
Chen Jianan pursed his lips, and said contemptuously: "Anyway, this is a bastard tortoise, but I have such a brother, I have beaten him long ago."
Qiao Wen shook his head with a smile.
After Chen Jianan finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and stared at Qiao Wen rightly, his eyes could be called "affectionate", and then grabbed his hand: "Little Qiao, don't worry, I will never forget you." It is impossible to be such a brother, even if the knife is on my neck, I will not betray you."
This swearing appearance is very exaggerated, making Qiao Wen dumbfounded: "I know."
Chen Jianan grabbed his hand even harder, and continued: "However, someone put the knife holder around your neck and asked you to betray me, so you should sell me immediately."
Qiao Wen: "..."
Ma Dan, it's quite moving.
