I earn merit in the entertainment industry

Chapter 145 Aren’t you still 8 years old?

The film and television base in City B was only built two years ago, and the surrounding facilities have not yet caught up.

The hotel the crew booked was considered to be in relatively good condition in the small town, and it was only a ten-story guesthouse-level chain hotel.

Just now, Zhan Haiyang was talking on the phone and had already walked all the way to the fourth floor.

His room is on the seventh floor.

Zhan Haiyang hesitated for a moment and continued walking up without taking the elevator.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the sixth floor, he looked up and saw a man sitting gloomily at the bottom of the dim stairs.

Nowadays, almost no one takes the stairs in any building with an elevator.

Zhan Haiyang was caught off guard and startled by the sudden appearance of the figure.

After calming down, I was able to think clearly about the other person.

This man was wearing a hooded jacket, with the hood covering his head, and two beer bottles staggered at his feet.

He was hunched over, leaning crookedly against the wall, holding his cell phone and not knowing what he was looking at.

The dim light of the mobile phone illuminated the small half of the man's face pale.

Zhan Haiyang has encountered several black paparazzi and illegitimate fans in the past few days, following the artist's news.

I immediately wondered if this person was an illegitimate fan of one of the actors in the show, and he followed his idol to the hotel.

At this moment, everyone on the other side also noticed something.

Lift your head to survey the situation.

Their eyes met, and Zhan Haiyang saw clearly that it was He Chuan.

He Chuan didn't know what he was looking at on his phone just now. He suddenly looked up and saw someone standing in front of him.

I was so frightened that I almost threw my phone away.

When he saw Zhan Haiyang clearly, he took off his headphones and stood up in a panic.

In the panic, he accidentally kicked the wine bottle at his feet.

The metallic sound of the cans colliding resounded throughout the stairwell.

At this time, He Chuan's face turned pale.

Zhan Haiyang's eyes fell on the wine bottle on the ground for two seconds, and then he raised his head hesitantly.

"Aren't you still eighteen years old?"

Although Chinese people do not strictly prohibit underage drinking.

But as a child actor who grew up in the public eye, He Chuan is also an idol of the new generation.

The image in front of others is that of a standard "good boy from other people's family".

Children in other families are dipped in chopsticks and fed some white wine during the Chinese New Year.

But if He Chuan was caught drinking, it would lead to public criticism.

At this time, He Chuan's face had changed from pale to flushed.

He stammered and wanted to explain, but the facts were in front of him and there was no way to explain.

In desperation, his eyes turned red.

Before joining the group, Zhan Haiyang took advantage of his free time and listened to Teacher Xie's arrangements and watched some film and television works as a make-up lesson.

One of them is a film in which Director Yi and He Chuan collaborated.

In that movie, He Chuan was only 12 or 13 years old and played a junior high school student whose parents divorced.

Because the child has no one to take care of him, he lives a miserable life and is often bullied in the class.

Yi Zhiyuan directed well, and He Chuan also acted well.

Now that He Chuan's eyes were so red, in Zhan Haiyang's mind, he immediately overlapped with the image of the child in the film.

In his original life, he had been a soldier and a fire fighter for so many years, and he had always regarded protecting people's safety as his own responsibility.

How could he endure such a child being wronged in front of him?

He looked down and saw that there was a plastic bag at He Chuan's feet, probably for beer.

Zhan Haiyang bent down to pick up the plastic bag and put the empty beer bottles into the bag one by one.

While picking it up, he said warmly, "It's okay, I'll just pretend I didn't see it."

Hey, what adolescent child wouldn't do a little bad thing without telling adults?

Zhan Haiyang's own adolescence was spent rebelliously and stumbling along.

In his opinion, sitting quietly and drinking two bottles of beer by himself was not a big deal.

In fact, he could also see that He Chuan was under great pressure.

A child who grows up in the public eye and has always been outstanding, naturally everyone's expectations for him will become higher and higher.

On the first day of the script reading meeting, Yi Zhiyuan asked He Chuan to speak first, which was also a sign of high hopes for him.

A 16-year-old kid can work with such an excellent director and screenwriter.

It is easy for others to only see his glory and luck, but ignore his efforts and pressure.

Zhan Haiyang didn’t want to reason with He Chuan.

They say you can’t drink, and to be an idol you need to be sunny and confident.

Children must have heard these words a lot.

Let him just be a parent who will protect his children.

After Zhan Haiyang put away the wine bottles, when he looked up at He Chuan, he found that his expression was still very nervous.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

In his previous life, Zhan Haiyang went to the rooftop several times to save people.

Among them, there are many children the same size as He Chuan.

The team found professional psychological teachers for them to come and train them.

Many people think that children who say they are selfish are ignorant.

Either he is joking to threaten his parents, or he has learned bad things from watching too many TV series.

Actually, that's really not the case.

Children also experience stress and anxiety.

He and He Chuan were not very familiar before, not to mention that Xiao Chuan was scared by him just now.

It is not appropriate to conduct in-depth inquiries under such circumstances.

Zhan Haiyang planned to persuade the person to go back to his room first, and then have more contact with him if he had the opportunity.

He paused and continued, "It's getting dark and the temperature is getting lower and lower. Don't sit here alone."

"Go back to your room, turn on the light, and drink some hot water to warm yourself up first."

"Watch more happy things, and you will feel better."

After Zhan Haiyang finished speaking, he looked at He Chuan again.

The child had probably regained some composure and kept a straight face.

Although he didn't reply, he seemed much calmer.

Zhan Haiyang felt relieved, carrying the bag of empty beer bottles, passed him and continued upstairs.

Unexpectedly, just when he passed by He Chuan, he suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Zhan Haiyang looked back subconsciously, and the child's eyes suddenly turned red.

"I really didn't mean to be a bad person."

He Chuan held his mouth, his voice was full of grievance and pain.

"I'm really stressed out."

-

In the room, Zhan Haiyang poured a cup of hot water for He Chuan.

The sweat from his run had almost dried up, but the wet clothes were uncomfortable to wear.

He grabbed some clothes, went to the bathroom, changed and came out again.

He Chuan is good-looking. Although he is only 16 years old, he is almost 1 meters tall.

He held the hotel's white porcelain cup and huddled in the single sofa chair.

He stared blankly ahead.

Hearing the movement of Zhan Haiyang coming out, he slowly turned his head.

"Brother Haiyang, am I useless?"
