Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

The parking lot of the newly completed Water Sky Film and Television City was filled with hundreds of vehicles that came to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.Beside a black Mercedes, manager Su Xun frowned, and called his signed artist Tao Qing for the third time.

The phone went through, but still no one answered.

Today is Monday, and Tao Qing is going to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the newly completed Water Sky Studios.Water Sky Film and Television City was built for the shooting of the large-scale gift film "Queen of Guining" organized by the Provincial Department of Culture.Tao Qing plays the male number four in the film.

Tao Qing, Little Red Fried Chicken.There are many labels for Xiaoxianrou: young, handsome, half-baked acting skills, questionable ability, high topicality, mixed black and red.The advantage is that he is from the province of A, and he voluntarily gave up his salary. At least he got a 10-minute scene in this kind of pure gift movie.

He flew back to Ningzhi after finishing work last Friday.Ningzhi is the capital of Province A. Tao Qing has a single apartment here, which he lived in before his debut. It happens to be near the newly completed Shuitian Film and Television City, so he plans to live there for a weekend.Make an agreement with the agent to pick him up on Monday morning to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Those who came back with Tao Qing included manager Su Xun, assistant Xu Rongrong, and the nanny that Xinghui Entertainment contacted housekeeping to hire for him. He was usually in charge of cooking, washing, and cleaning for Tao Qing.

But since Su Xun called Tao Qing at [-]:[-] in the morning, the phone he dialed has not been answered.Su Xun has asked his assistant to go to his house to look for it.

Assistant Xu Rongrong recalled: Last Friday night, after getting off the plane, Brother Tao did not ask her to drive her home, but sent her to the famous "Yuecheng Grand Salon" in Ningzhi City, saying that he had acquaintances there and would hang out for a while .Su Xun also knew about this matter.

"Yuecheng Grand Salon" is Tao Qing's birthplace. He didn't graduate from elementary school, so he dropped out of school and sang in bars.The owner of the bar later made a fortune and became one of the top executives of the Yuecheng Grand Salon. He recommended Tao Qing to a friend of Xinghui Entertainment Company at a very low price.Tao Qing was young, good-looking, and had a fairly good voice. For entertainment companies, it would not be a problem to have one more such cheap and high-quality fresh meat.So Xinghui Entertainment signed an artist contract with him according to the minimum standard.

Last Friday, manager Su Xun went to Yuecheng Grand Salon in the early hours of the morning. Tao Qing and acquaintances were karaoke and drinking in the VIP room.Seeing him coming, Tao Qing asked Su Xun to take him home.

On the pure black Bentley provided by the company, Su Xun drove smoothly in the driver's seat, unable to see Tao Qing's expression in the back seat—but heard a very strange sentence.

"It's boring, let's forget about dead ball."

Su Xun was not from province A, so he didn't quite understand the drunken words in dialect, but when he heard the word "death", his hairs stood on end all of a sudden, feeling very ominous.But when he turned his head, Tao Qing closed his eyes and fell asleep.

That night when Su Xun sent Tao Qing home, it was the nanny who opened the door, and Tao Qing had already fallen asleep.Su Xun didn't look for him for the next two days over the weekend, so he asked him to take a good rest.

But on Monday morning, he couldn't get in touch no matter what, and his manager Su Xun thought of the unknown dialect again. He was a little flustered, but there was also a hint of secret relief.The assistant called him one after another to tell him that there was no one in Tao Qing's house, and the nanny was not there either.

In half an hour, the ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin. The part of the ceremony that requires Tao Qing to come forward is after the ribbon-cutting, there will be a group interview time for entertainment reporters.Su Xun reluctantly prepared to find the person in charge of the link.If Tao Qing couldn't be there, he had to apologize to the media friends in advance. After all, not only pure entertainment journalists, but also reporters from the cultural section of party media newspapers and magazines were present for the provincial gift film, so they couldn't be offended.

——Although Tao Qingming offended some people more or less secretly.Including his own manager Su Xun.Fortunately, Su Xun is a conscientious manager, and the occasional unhappiness in the past will not make him slack off in his job.

At this moment, Su Xun received a call from the nanny. In the noisy background, the other party's statement was not particularly clear. It took Su Xun a long time to sort it out:

Tao Qing is now with her.Not far from the scene, Su Xun hurriedly asked them to take a taxi and come over quickly, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to begin.

Su Xun couldn't hear clearly amidst the sound of ribbon-cutting firecrackers and electrical distortion, and the nanny seemed to mutter a few words, what does "a bit strange" mean?

15 minutes later, the taxi arrived.The middle-aged woman who got down from the passenger seat first, with hesitation in her eyes, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the manager.

Su Xun asked: "Aunt Shen, did you go this morning? Where did you go? That girl went to Brother Tao's house... and there was no one..." As he asked, he glanced at the back door of the car, Tao Qing hadn't gotten out of the car yet.

Aunt Shen replied: "Brother Tao got up at five o'clock and wanted to see sweet-scented osmanthus. Let's take a taxi to Nanshadian Park."

five o'clock?See sweet-scented osmanthus?Su Xun was shocked: "Brother Tao woke up really early."

Aunt Shen said: "I slept for two days and two nights, of course I got up early. Since you sent him back on Friday night, he has been sleeping. I made four meals and couldn't wake him up."

Su Xun was startled. Does this mean that Tao Qing has been sleeping since he picked Tao Qing home from the Yuecheng Grand Salon on Friday night?Sleep over Saturday and Sunday?Sleep until [-]:[-] a.m. on Monday?

In Su Xun's impression, Tao Qing was not a sleepy person.No matter how tired the work is, no matter how high the fun is.Even if their stars want to sleep more for beauty treatment, they won't be able to sleep for two consecutive days, right?

Aunt Shen's voice hesitated: "On weekends, when I was cooking, I knocked on the door of Brother Tao's room. He didn't make a sound, and the door was locked from the inside. I couldn't wake up anyway. I was a little worried..."

But Aunt Shen didn't dare to keep knocking on the door, for fear of making him angry, Tao Qing got angry, and the kicks on her waist still hurt a little. I don't want to wait on this irascible little star for a long time.

Aunt Shen recalled what happened in the morning again, and briefly told Su Xun, but she still felt incredible.

At five o'clock this morning, Aunt Shen woke up in the side sleeper where the nanny lived, tapped her teeth on the bed (for health preservation), and suddenly heard the door of the master bedroom open.

Brother Tao finally woke up, really early.Mr. Su, the manager, explained the itinerary on Monday. There was a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 09:30. Logically speaking, there was no need to get up so early.But Aunt Shen hurriedly got out of bed to prepare breakfast. If she was late, she might be scolded.

But when she opened the door and saw Tao Qing's appearance, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Tao Qing was still wearing her pajamas, but she looked weak and precarious, as if she was about to fall down.Aunt Shen thought to herself that this unlucky child has not eaten for two days, and his blood sugar must be low.But he didn't dare to go up to help him, Tao Qing hated others to touch him.Aunt Shen pulled out an armchair and placed it next to Tao Qing.

Aunt Shen worked in Tao Qing's house for a year, and it was the first time she heard:

"Thank you, you, you... Aunt Shen."

Her mouth opened into an O shape, and for this reason, she fried an extremely round egg for Tao Qing.

Although the title is a bit strange, she usually calls her aunt, but she has a big heart and is too lazy to worry about such trivial matters.

Tao Qingwai leaned on the chair with a very complicated expression, a lot of sweat was pouring out of his face, and his eyes were confused and troubled.During the period when Aunt Shen brought him breakfast, he was always in a state of disorientation, as if he was going to faint or cry the next second.

He looked at Aunt Shen, and said in a very soft voice, "What is the age, who is the emperor, and how long will he live?"

Aunt Shen trembled: "Speak, speak human language?"

He was stunned for a moment, as if he had fallen into some kind of meditation, and said softly for a while: "Nothing, it's all right. Next...recite, memorize, the lines."

When he said these words, his expression was particularly distorted.

Aunt Shen didn't understand, but felt that the look in Tao Qing's eyes at that time was like the look of the egg whites and yolks being muddied when she was mixing eggs just now.

Then, Aunt Shen received her first polite smile after working in Tao Qing's house for a year, and a pleading tone that seemed to be spoken by a child who had nowhere to go, even though the content was a bit strange——

"...May I take a look, sweet-scented osmanthus."

Aunt Shen only knew that there was a park in the nearest Nanshadian with sweet-scented osmanthus trees, and she was dragged away by Tao Qing as if she was drowning.

This journey was also very strange, Tao Qing kept looking around.Either looking at her, or looking at the surrounding environment.There were not many pedestrians on the street after five o'clock, and the sky was not bright.But there are still very few taxis.

What impressed Aunt Shen was that when she stopped the taxi and the car was coming, Tao Qing took two steps back, nearly fell backwards, and stared at the car.Like a weak sheep, it just stared at the lion without admitting defeat.

Aunt Shen was always surprised that Tao Qing didn't drive the car herself, and also found it difficult for him to drag her to lead the way because of the sweet-scented osmanthus.But seeing that Tao Qing seemed to be afraid of cars, he came to his senses and thought: Brother Tao, what kind of stimulation has he received again? Does it have any shadow on cars?

It's not easy being a star.Aunt Shen thought: After all, he is only 21 years old, but he has been in the entertainment industry for so long.It's understandable to be grumpy at ordinary times.She has a son who is the same age as Tao Qing and works outside the home.Even if Tao Qing has a bad temper occasionally, she kindly tolerates it.

"Car..." Tao Qing said to himself, and finally got into the car.

Tao Qing didn't say a word along the way, but concentrated on watching the scenery outside the window in the car.It's time to pay when you get there.Aunt Shen didn't have to pay these expenses. Tao Qing was stunned for a moment, then took out her wallet from her body.He opened his hands and feet clumsily, grabbed a large amount of money, and hesitantly stuffed it towards the driver.
