Chasing Tides

Fang Yu rested for half a month before returning to the team. After a long absence, all seven members of AOW came together for the morning meeting.

Zhang Fan held a thick stack of materials in his hand, and said that an idol drama invested by the company had started casting, the main purpose was to promote newcomers, and the first male and the second male came from their own homes. This kind of opportunity is rare, and I want to fight for it Raise your hand.

The news came suddenly, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but didn't move.

Gu Chenkai tugged at Sui Yi, and urged him in a low voice: "Brother, this is a great opportunity, quickly raise your hand."

Sui Yi ignored it and waited for Zhang Fan to speak.This kind of project that the company can decide on, even if there is no final internal list, at least the scope of casting is framed, and it is said that everyone can recommend themselves, but it is just a formality.

Sure enough, Zhang Fan waited for a while and saw that no one raised his hands, so he threw the notebook he brought to Sui Yi and Lu Xiaochuan: "Both of you, the male one can fight for it."

Lu Xiaochuan returned the notebook: "I don't want to act, let the captain do it."

He doesn't like to talk very much these days. He seems to have something on his mind. He looks a little depressed, and he doesn't even tease the little sister next door.

Zhang Fan didn't ask too much, took the notebook and gave it to Sui Yi: "Who else wants to try, ask the captain for the notebook."

At noon, Fang Yu invites you to dinner to thank everyone for their hard work during his absence.

An Lin was also invited, Gao Ming and Gu Chenkai walked in front with her, Ning Lan packed up her things and stood up, seeing Lu Xiaochuan followed awkwardly.

The restaurant is a 5-minute walk away from the company, and the small road at the back door is sparsely populated. Fang Yu deliberately stayed behind to talk to Ning Lan, thanking him for accepting the order in the face of danger and performing the dance for him.

Ning Lan said lightly that you're welcome, but Wang Bingyang insisted on saying, "Brother Lan danced this dance, but he was scolded badly."

Fang Yu was optimistic, and usually went to bed early and woke up early like an old man. He never read comments online, and asked in amazement, "Why?"

"Because you and the captain are CPs, they say that Brother Lan is taking your position, and they say that he... I won't say it, it's really ugly."

Fang Yu didn't expect this to happen again, so he hurriedly apologized to Ning Lan, but Ning Lan couldn't laugh or cry, saying that he couldn't blame you for this.

Fang Yu couldn't be blamed, Sui Yi couldn't be blamed, and the company couldn't be blamed, but the fans were upset and had to find an outlet, so they could only catch him and bombard him indiscriminately.

He has seen all the "unpleasant" in Wang Bingyang's mouth, such as "men are not men and women", "sexy and cheap", and "getting the captain's popularity" are all considered polite, and the high-flowered CP fans even praised him. His new name is Bubble Black, and he is said to be a shady airborne soldier who will never be cleansed in his life.

He used to have the habit of reading private messages, but recently they were almost all ridiculed and abused, and it was really difficult to pick a few words of encouragement from them, so he stopped reading them.

Although I had already guessed that this would be the consequence, it was inevitable that I would feel chest tightness and shortness of breath after seeing such remarks.

Fang Yu's dance was highly anticipated, and everyone shouted and beat him when he danced.Ning Lan felt that she might be annoying by nature, no matter where she went.

On the third day after Fang Yu returned to the team, the list of actors for the idol drama was finalized internally. The male lead of Sui Yi, the youngest male second of another male group of the company, will start filming next month.

Sui Yi himself is quite calm. A small web drama that the company has in-house can neither hone its acting skills nor predictably create a frenzy of hits, so it should be used to accumulate experience.Gu Chenkai was very excited, jumping up and down to celebrate him, Sui Yi adhered to the principle of treating everyone in the team if they have something to do, and called everyone to have a meal together.

When Ning Lan received Sui Yi's text message, she happened to pass by the practice room at the corner of the corridor, and heard Gao Ming complaining to Wang Bingyang about the unfairness, saying that he also went to the audition, and he didn't even get three males and four males, so why did Sui Yi go through the motions? You can take the male one.

Ning Lan clutched her phone and walked away quietly, thinking that if I were the producer, I would also choose Sui Yi, a group of eighteen/nine-year-old stunned young people who can't even talk about acting skills, and any fool would know that the most handsome, The one with the most topics.

Even he, a paratrooper, can see clearly that Sui Yi will definitely become famous in the future, if he has the time to gossip behind his back, it's better to seize the time to build a good relationship with him.

Ning Lan suddenly thought of what she did on the night of the ShowCase celebration banquet. I don't know if it counts as "making a good relationship with him"?

It shouldn't be counted... The actions that night were completely out of his own selfishness, he didn't ask Sui Yi to think of him.That guy must have been so annoyed after he sobered up, thank God he didn't come to beat him up.

Ning Lan took out her mobile phone, and when she saw the text message asking for dinner, she twitched her lips helplessly.

See, it's disgusting to even talk to me in person.

He didn't even think about it, and quickly pressed a few words to decline.

In the following days, Ning Lan continued to live alone, and tried not to show his presence in front of his teammates unless it was necessary for work.

It was very hot in the capital in July. At the end of the month, all members of AOW were arranged to attend a charity dinner.

This kind of so-called banquet can usually mobilize the entire entertainment circle, and there is no harm in going on the red carpet to gain exposure.Just after lunch, a crowd of people gathered in the waiting area.

AOW, as a newcomer who has no big-name sponsorship for the time being, is dressed relatively low-key, all in shirts and small suits. However, a group of tall guys are still too eye-catching, and they were caught and interviewed by entertainment reporters several times.

The host of one of the live broadcast platforms directly took them to interview under the camera. The waiting area was air-conditioned, but it was crowded and crowded. It is really difficult to keep smiling for the camera.

It turned out that the host was a newcomer with no experience, and the topics he brought up were blunt and thoughtless. Seeing that Fang Yu couldn't stand the heat, he turned his back and secretly slapped his face with his hands, and actually asked him if he was hot or not, should he take off his clothes.

Fang Yu was embarrassed, he laughed and said, "At this time, I am very envious of the female celebrity sisters, at least it is cooler to wear skirts."

The host suddenly thought of something, so he couldn't die and asked: "Hey, didn't someone in your group dance in a skirt before the performance? There are photos and videos everywhere on the Internet. Is it you?"

Ning Lan stood up: "It's me."

The host had a lot of meaning: "Oh, it's you... you're really beautiful. Several of my straight boyfriends praised you so much that they wanted to commit crimes."

Sui Yi frowned, secretly remembering the name of this live broadcast platform in her heart.

He turned his head to look, and Ning Lan smiled, as if he was not angry at the teasing words at all.Later, the host said that he wanted to see if he was as white as in the legend, and he rolled up his sleeves generously, showing her a part of Bai Shengsheng's arm.

After finally seeing off the big Buddha, the seven members of AOW hid in a corner and sat down. The seniors who should meet in the arena have all greeted them, and finally they can take a breather and rest for a while.

An Lin brought them water, told them not to run around, and went to the support club to help arrange support.Sui Yi distributed mineral water to the members. An Lin was probably dizzy today, and there were only six bottles of water in her bag.

Ning Lan said that she was not thirsty, and gave Sui Yi the last bottle of water in her hand. The two refused, but Wang Bingyang couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Drink it separately, just don't touch the mouth of the bottle." After speaking, he demonstrated Next, the feasibility of this operation is proved.

Sui Yi unscrewed the bottle cap, raised her head and poured a few sips of water into her mouth, then handed the bottle to Ning Lan.

Ning Lan had never drank water like this before, afraid of getting her clothes wet, she struggled holding the bottle for a long time.

Sui Yi said: "Drink from the mouth of the bottle, I won't drink."

Ning Lan lowered her eyes, brought the mouth of the bottle to her mouth, and in a daze, she didn't know who touched it, and the water splashed out and spilled all over her body.

With less than an hour before the opening, Ning Lan hurriedly went to the bathroom to tidy up her clothes.

At this time, people are gathering at the entrance, and the bathroom is empty.There was a dryer next to the sink, and he unbuttoned the front of his clothes to dry it. Fortunately, only a small piece of his chest was wet, and it should be dry after a while.

He has been a little out of his mind these days, except for something out of control lingering in his mind, there are still real problems waiting for him to solve.

Last week, my younger sister used my aunt's cell phone to make a call with him, and when she got through, she started crying, saying that she didn't do well in the college entrance examination, and her parents asked her to repeat the exam.

Ning Lan comforted her by saying that it doesn't matter if she repeats the study for a year, and her brother will pay for you to read it.The younger sister hesitated and refused, saying that studying was too hard and she wanted to go abroad to study in university. She also said that several of her classmates who did not reach the first line were sent abroad by their parents, and she wanted to go too.

Thinking of this, Ning Lan let out a long sigh.How could he not know that his aunt must be there when his sister called?Although the little girl is vain, she doesn't know how to play tricks. Maybe it was her aunt who taught her to make this call.

But he knew it was a trap, but he couldn't refuse.He occupied half of his sister's room for ten years, and now he can't repay him too much.

Where to get the money has become the most worrying thing for him these days.

The dryer was humming intermittently and it was ringing in my ears.Ning Lan thought about it and found it funny, the old debt was not settled and the new debt was raised again, wasn't he the one talking about it?

The clothes were almost dry, he buttoned up the buttons, straightened the front of his clothes in front of the mirror, and turned around to go out.

A big man came in from the door with a cigarette in his mouth, and the two looked up and met.

Ning Lan was stunned, and turned around in the next second.

The big man grabbed his hair and pulled it back, spitting out the smoke from his mouth: "Run, keep running, I'll see where you are going!"

Ning Lan took a deep breath, forced a smile and said, "Brother is you... I didn't run away, I'm going in here... Boss Liu is here too? Take me to see his old man."

The big guy said coldly: "I'll take you, and you bring money to visit?"

Ning Lan rolled her eyes to see if anyone was passing by, trying to delay the time and said: "The money is almost saved, Boss Liu is kind, and he will definitely accommodate me for a few more days."

The big man looked at him, and suddenly smiled crookedly: "Why are you accommodating? With your eloquent mouth, or...your pretty little face?"

Ning Lan was startled, clenched her teeth, and her face turned pale.

The big man grinned, and his naked eyes wandered on his face: "Why didn't you find that you are good-looking before? How do you say that, a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle, right? With such a dress, She's really quite pretty, no wonder she can become a star here."

Ning Lan gritted her teeth, slowly clenched her hands into fists, and continued to submissively said: "Where, just put on some makeup to take a look and trick those little girls."

"Tsk," the big guy let go of his hair, and turned his chin to force him to look up, "Don't be modest, Boss Liu said, if you don't have money, you can go back and play for two days as interest."

Ning Lan's eyes widened suddenly: "What?"

The big man explained: "He used to look down on you, but now you are a star, and your worth has risen, so it is naturally different from before."

Ning Lan's jaw was sore from being broken by him. This big man is soft but not hard. The more he confronts him, the more violent he will be.

After thinking about it for a while, Ning Lan blinked her eyes and said flatteringly, "Boss Liu really said that?"

"Yo, figured it out?"

Ning Lan nodded with difficulty, and the big man's muddy breath sprayed on his face, making him almost vomit.

"Okay, come with me now." The big man said and grabbed his arm.

"Give me a little time, okay? It's about to start over there. I'll go in for a cutscene, and I'll follow you when I come out."

The big man followed his line of sight and looked outside, with doubts on his face: "How many times have you played with me, kid, do you think I will still trust you?"

Ning Lan bit her lip and looked like she was about to cry: "Isn't that afraid of you? You shout and kill me all day long, and I really don't have any money with me... This time is different, since Boss Liu is interested in me , didn’t want to take off my arms and legs, what should I be afraid of? I’m happy to serve him later, maybe I’ll just forgive my debt..."

"You think it's beautiful, but you still want Boss Liu to take care of you?"

Ning Lan squeezed out a smile and said, "Is there anything you dare not think about? If Boss Liu likes it, of course I would."

The big man observed his expression, but didn't see why, and then turned his head to look in the direction where the crowd gathered, feeling that this place was not easy to get out of.

It was also the first time for him to come to such a new place, and he still wanted to go for a walk, so he let go after thinking about it: "Then I'll give you two hours, if you dare to run, next time I don't need Boss Liu's orders, I'll just break your legs. "

Ning Lan said again and again: "Whoever runs away will be the grandson."
