dangerous intimacy

My name is Lin Meiqian, I am 38 years old, and I am a mother of two children.

20 years ago, with a young girl's pursuit of beauty and vision for the future, I was admitted to the Film Academy majoring in art design, mainly studying character modeling and design.

After graduating from university, he successfully entered a powerful film and television company as he wished, worked as a styling and makeup artist, and pursued the road of art diligently and dedicatedly.At the beginning, my career developed fairly well. I once designed character modeling for several blockbuster movies, and also served as the makeup artist for the heroine. I also received recognition and praise from the director and actors.

However, there will always be a gap between ideal and reality.Two years later, the market was sluggish, and the film and television industry fell into a depression.Due to the lack of funds, the company is almost in a situation where there are no films to shoot, and I can't get into a few film crews a year.Everyone is very confused, doing nothing and dawdling around.I married the boy I had been in love with for five years since college, and we had a daughter a year later.My husband entered the system and became a civil servant, but he was an honest and responsible person. He never made great progress. He was still a junior staff member after five years.Life is like playing a big or small joke with us. We live in this joke and become numb to ourselves.

Until ten years ago, I met someone, a wonderful man, who completely changed my life.

Through various interpersonal relationships, I finally joined a film crew. However, instead of engaging in my old job of being a stylist and makeup artist, I got a false job as an assistant director of the crew.But finally, I have something to do, so I won't be so idle every day that my bones get moldy.

Halfway through the filming, the film ran into big trouble. The contractor who invested in the film ran away because of a broken capital chain.Without funds, all filming was forced to stop.The producer of the company asked some of our assistant directors to solicit sponsorship, and told us that if we couldn't find funds, our salary would be wasted.

I don't think I have that ability, and I was going to leave, but what we took over this time is really a very good movie. The script, director and actors are all top-notch. If it just miscarried, I still feel very bad It's a pity.

So, I bit the bullet and started looking around for sponsorships.According to the methods provided by several experienced seniors, we pay attention to whether there are any recent gatherings of entrepreneurs every day. As long as we catch the news, we will dress up immediately and get involved in some seminars of the fellowship of entrepreneurs, or receptions and other occasions. , Try every means to get close to those rich and big money, recommend our movies to them with the cheek, and seek their funding.

However, such a method needs to lose dignity and the like, otherwise I really can't stick to it.Because, they are often stared at by rich people, and even regarded as "beggars" by the event organizers, and they are directly blasted out of the door.

In the collision and struggle between self-esteem and the pressure of life, I almost gave up my efforts. At this juncture, at a reception for the rich, my life completely reversed.

Another female assistant director and I dressed up and sneaked into the scene of the reception.I deliberately wore a one-shoulder evening dress that I bought with a heartless "cutting flesh", because the collarbone and shoulders have always been the most perfect and proud parts of my body, and showing them can increase my self-confidence.

My fellow director gave me a list of rich people who participated in the reception: "Xiao Lin, this list is ranked according to the net worth of all the rich people, so our focus is on the last few, as long as we can win one mission accomplished!"

After she finished speaking, she went to look for the "prey" alone with a glass of wine.And looking at the long list of rich people in a daze, I thought: "Anyway, today is the last time, why not try to catch a big fish, if I catch it, I'm lucky, if I don't catch it, I will be completely Say goodbye to the film and television industry."

After making up my mind, I looked at the names of the top few rich men on the list. I remember that the first one was a boss named Qian. Jumping to the third place, the boss's name is "Chu Haoran", "President of Haobang Company".

"He's the one!" I felt overwhelmed, folded up the list and threw it into the trash can.Then he grabbed a young waiter at the reception and asked him: "Chu Haoran, who is Mr. Chu?" The waiter looked at me with some vigilance and didn't say anything.I took out the remaining 200 yuan from my bag and stuffed it into his hand. The waiter showed a smile, put his mouth next to my ear, and glanced to the front left: "I see the big sofa over there sitting around Are those bosses here?"

I followed his line of sight and nodded. The waiter lowered his voice and continued, "The one sitting in the middle is the one in the navy blue suit."

I nodded again: "Thank you!"

Then he took a glass of wine with unknown name from his tray, took a deep breath, and walked straight to the big sofa in front left.

Walking to the big sofa, I kept staring at the man in the navy blue suit, and found that he was actually quite handsome, so I took another deep breath. At that time, I only felt that my brain was blank, watching him emerge One sentence: "Chu Haoran, I have something to do with you."

Chu Haoran seemed to be startled, looked me up and down, with a confused face: "Who are you?"

"My name is Lin Meiqian. You don't know me, but I really have something important to talk to you. I only need 3 minutes."

Chu Haoran was stunned, staring at me for a few seconds: "Go ahead."

"It's not convenient here, can I talk to you alone?" When I think about it now, I don't know where the courage came from.

Chu Haoran thought for a few seconds, then stood up: "Okay, let's go over there."

Then, like an idiot, I followed his ass to a corner, and when he stopped suddenly, I almost ran into him.

"Okay, let's talk about it here." Chu Haoran's expression was very serious, and suddenly, my heart started beating wildly like a deer.

Not daring to look directly into his eyes, I drooped my head and forced out a sentence: "Can you invest in our movie?"

I heard him squeak, and I don't know what his expression is, but I just stare at my toes, completely at a loss.

After a few seconds of silence, I heard him ask, "Are you an actor?"

I raised my head to look at him, and shook my head violently: "No, no, no, I'm an assistant director, and I majored in image design, but our play is really good, and it will definitely sell well, and you won't lose money ,You have to believe me!"

Then, I looked at him eagerly, feeling uneasy.

At this time, he actually smiled, and his smile was very charming, which made my heart tremble suddenly.

"What if you lose?" he asked.

"I... I... I sold my house and my car, and I... I will pay you for everything!" I risked everything.

Chu Haoran smiled again: "How much money do you need?"

"2000 million, no, no, 1000 million is fine."

Chu Haoran was silent for a few seconds: "Do you have a business card?"

"Yes, yes." I immediately took out my business card and handed it to him.

He glanced at it: "Okay, I'll think about it before replying to you."

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back. I stayed where I was, and it took me a while to return to reality. I looked at Chu Haoran who had a good chat with other rich people. My heart was a little cold, and I probably wouldn't have anything to say. , smiled self-deprecatingly, turned and walked out of the reception.

I remember very clearly that I didn’t have any money in my bag that day, so I had to walk for two hours and went straight home. When I got home, I didn’t wash my face or feet, and I didn’t take off my clothes. I just fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, as soon as I sent my daughter to school, I received a call from an unknown number: "Hello, who is this?"

A magnetic baritone came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, I'm Chu Haoran."

"Chu Haoran? Who is Chu Haoran? Did you make a mistake?" I actually completely forgot what happened last night.

Chu Haoran also seemed to be taken aback for a moment: "Are you Lin Meiqian?"

"I am."

"Do you have time? I want to visit your company."

At that second, I suddenly remembered what happened last night: "Yes, yes! I'm sorry, Mr. Chu... Mr. Chu, I..."

"I'll see you at the door of your company in half an hour."

The phone hung up and I felt like I was in a dream.

After a while, I woke up and immediately called the boss of the company. I remember he was also stunned for a while: "You... are you sure it's Chu Haoran? Chu Haoran from Haobang Company?!"

"Yes, he will arrive at our company in half an hour."

When I arrived at the company, our boss had already brought a group of leaders, as well as the screenwriter, director, actors and creative team members of our movie, waiting at the gate. When the boss saw me, he grabbed me Pulled aside: "Xiao Lin, don't talk nonsense, if you don't see Chu Haoran today, you won't have to go to work in the future!"

"I... I did receive a call from Chu Haoran, that's what he said."

Just as he was talking, two luxury cars drove up to the entrance of the company and stopped. A few people in suits and leather shoes got out of the previous car, and they were very stylish.Chu Haoran got off the second car, our boss ran over in surprise, and I also followed him.

After Chu Haoran got out of the car, he looked up at our company's office building. Our boss had already arrived in front of him, with a flattering smile on his face, bowing his head and bowing his head: "Mr. Chu?"

Chu Haoran nodded.

"Hello, Mr. Chu, I am the person in charge of the company, and my name is Li Mingyuan."

Chu Haoran nodded coldly, at this moment he saw me behind the boss, and nodded to me again.Our President Li immediately pulled me in front of him: "Our Xiaolin is a very good artist."

Chu Haoran looked at me: "Let's go in and talk about that good movie you mentioned."

I was already stupid, the ostentation and momentum made me stand still, unable to speak or move.Mr. Li tugged at my sleeve: "Xiao Lin, why are you still standing there, please invite Mr. Chu in!"

I regained my composure and said, "Oh, please, Mr. Chu."

Chu Haoran was imposing, striding in, the company leaders on the side all looked at him in awe, and then looked at me, their eyes were full of reverence for me.

In the meeting room of our company, the screenwriter and director introduced our play in detail. After Chu Haoran listened carefully, he looked at me: "Did you say it only costs 1000 million?"

Our President Li looked at me in surprise, and I was speechless: "I...I was afraid that you would not invest, so...Actually...At least 3000 million is needed..."

Chu Haoran smiled, and looked at our President Li: "I'll offer 5000 million, how about it?"

Everyone at the scene, including me, opened their mouths in shock, dumbfounded...
