He Zengren

The next day Zeng Luli flew to Qingbei with his manager.Qingbei and Qingnan are close to each other on the map, but the customs and customs are completely different.Qingnan is closer to the south, and the habits of the people are not different from those of Baicheng. The advantage is that there are many cultural landscapes.Qingbei has countless natural landscapes and is a good place to travel alone.

He is now a young actor with no money and no power. After arriving in Qingbei, he took a taxi to the hotel address that he sent when communicating with the agent before the crew.The two of them arrived there with big bags and small bags. The agent called the staff of the crew and talked for a long time, his face gradually became serious, and he looked at Zeng Luli cautiously and said, "He asked us to wait at the entrance of the hotel for a while. Said someone would come and explain to us later."

"Explain what?" Zeng Luli put the backpack on the suitcase, took the bag from the manager and carried it on his arm, seeing the manager's unfriendly expression, he must be able to guess something bad. , "Isn't it just to ask the front desk about the room booked? It must be so troublesome? I'm afraid there is something that we are kept in the dark, and we will not know until we meet."

It's not a good thing to guess the cause and effect of such a thing. Zeng Luli stood there lazily, feeling a little slack, thinking that it would be better not to know.But everything was out of his control, and he walked into the lobby of the hotel alone. Zeng Luli stood up and said, "Director He Cheng? Why did you come here in person?"

Director He was the same age as Director Xu, but looked a little more tired than Director Xu. His hair was almost completely white, and he was wearing a black cloth coat. He walked towards them alone.

He Cheng heard Zeng Luli's voice, his face was obviously a bit embarrassed, walked in front of him, and first said: "Didn't you receive the email from Xiao Zheng?"

"No." With a confused look on his face, the manager frantically took out his mobile phone to log in to the mailbox, and showed it to Director He, "Look, there is no email from Xiao Zheng in the mailbox."

Director He said: "That may be Xiao Zheng's negligence at work." He rubbed the corner of his clothes with his hands, and there was a slight smile on his face, which made Zeng Luli look very strange on this face, like this The smile should not belong to this person.

He patted Zeng Luli on the shoulder and said, "Lu Li, you sit down first. I will tell you about the incident that Xiao Zheng didn't send in the email."

"Tell me." Zeng Luli wanted to laugh a little, and tried his best to suppress the smile and said solemnly.

"It's like this." After sitting down, Director He rubbed his clothes instead of rubbing his own hands, staring at a spot of light and shadow on the ground, "You know, um, many of the things I took before It cannot be screened in public, Director Xu told you."

"Said."

"So now, there is an actor who just graduated from the academy. He took a fancy to my script and wanted to act in my play." Director He said, "And then, um, his father happened to have something to do with the person who approved it. ...not that it has anything to do with it...it's about making sure the film plays, whether it's online or in theaters."

Zeng Luli understood, and said bluntly: "So the email you asked Xiao Zheng to send me means that I can not come to Qingbei to film? Because it has been replaced by another person."

Director He was frightened all of a sudden, and he stammered and approached him earnestly, "It's Lu Li, we've already signed a contract before, and if we change people temporarily, the finance department will settle the liquidated damages for you. You really have to understand me, You said that no matter what line of work you are in, don’t you hope that your works can be seen by more people?”

Zeng Luli sat up straight and stayed away from Director He, but he didn't look angry at all, instead he said: "It's okay, Director He. Didn't you also have someone notify me before, there was a mistake in the middle procedure, I just didn't get it."

"Of course I can understand you. Why don't you go back to the set first and come over to explain to me personally this time. I'm really sorry to bother you."

Director He frowned, and said, "Lu Li, don't worry, I will definitely find you for the next movie, the next movie."

Zeng Luli smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

After Director He left, the agent asked him, "Aren't you angry?"

Zeng Luli came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "What's the use of being angry?" Thinking of something, he took out the folder that was in his bag before, and said to his manager, "The most important thing is to stop the loss in time."

"The film cannot be made, and the gap left must be filled. Didn't we reject the invitations of several TV series for this movie? You just told me on the plane that the director of one of the TV series found several The actors are not satisfied, and there are still vacancies.”

The agent said repeatedly: "Yes, yes. But that drama can only be broadcast online, and it will definitely not be able to get stars. Do you think it will be okay?"

"It's not a question of whether I think it's okay or not. It's a question of whether the director is willing to let me act." Zeng Luli said, "You call him and ask, is he still accepting interviews? If yes, we will stay in a hotel for a while." Night, fly over tomorrow."

"But if it's just to fill the vacancy, how can the quality of the play be guaranteed?"

"How can there be so many high-quality scripts for me to choose?" Zeng Luli smiled wryly, "I can meet Director He because of the kindness of Director Xu before. Now I choose one of the two. Only when there is popularity can I choose a drama, otherwise it will be Picked by others."

The agent looked at him a little strangely, hurriedly found a phone number in the address book and called it, and after a while, he came over and said: "That said, the male lead hasn't been decided yet, but he has a bad temper. , let you come to the interview today, if you don’t come, just ignore it, don’t go there.”

Zeng Luli gritted his teeth and said, "Then immediately buy the nearest ticket."

On this side of Baicheng, He Ren went back to He's mansion to visit his mother who was not in good health. He drove into the garage, and when he was reversing, a car happened to pass behind him.The two cars collided, and the rear of the car hit the body. He Ren got out of the car in a hurry, but saw Bai Zhicheng get off the driver's seat on the other side. The feeling of apology disappeared immediately, and he walked over slowly and said, "Yo, it's you Ah, I'm so sorry, I accidentally scratched your car." This tone really didn't sound like the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Bai Zhicheng smiled, and said to He Ren: "If it weren't for your driving skills all the time, I would really think you did it on purpose."

These words were sarcasm, but when they mentioned the past, the faces of both of them softened.Bai Zhicheng said, "Are you going home to see your mother?"

"Yes, your mother told you?"

"That's not it," he said, "My mother heard from your mother that you, a filial son, often go back to see him, and she is so envious that she whispers in my ear every day to let me go back, so that she can show off too."

That's what I said.But it is true.There is a strange relationship between the Bai family and the He family. Although they are competing in the mall, because their fathers live in the same community, the two families have known each other since they were young, and they are secretly competing with each other. Everything from the scale of the renovation to the style of the decor to who has the best flowers in the garden.Of course, the most important thing is to compare whose children are more promising.

Growing up in such an environment, He Ren and Bai Zhicheng are actually quite familiar, but their relationship is not very close.He Ren said: "She said that because you are really unfilial. You are so devoted to the company that you can use any means."

Bai Zhicheng raised his hands and said, "It's fine, let's not talk about work on weekends. Everyone is going home, can you be more affectionate?"

Originally, He Ren just mentioned a sentence to see his reaction.He knew in his heart that two companies in the same industry were competing with each other, natural selection and survival of the fittest, and he didn't mean to blame at all.But Bai Zhicheng said again: "I still heard from my family. Your mother said that you have fallen in love with some female celebrity recently? And invested in a movie?"

"..." Mother He is really a gossip.

Seeing He Ren's face, Bai Zhicheng gloated and said, "Let me tell you, your mother told my mother about your emotional experience over the years, what you can and can't tell, and my mother will tell me again. Don't tell me, it's really cool to hear the gossip."

"That's right," He Ning confronted with a blank face, "I heard from my mother that the film and television company you opened was in decline, and it sounded pretty cool."

After the bickering between the two people who were like primary school students, He Ning walked home and saw He's mother serving the flowers and plants in the garden. Tell me, otherwise, when I meet that boy Bai Zhicheng, we will expose each other again."

Mother He stood up with her waist supported, and said with a smile: "Then if I don't tell Auntie Bai, who else can I talk to?"

"My dad." He Ning said as a matter of course, "You two are husband and wife, if you don't tell him, who will you tell?"

"It's not that you don't know your father. He is a man of few words. He discusses with you Uncle Zhong and Uncle Li if you have anything to say. But I also find it annoying. I don't understand what economic matters they are talking about. Why don't you just talk to you for nothing?" Auntie, tell me about you."

He Ning was speechless after hearing this. Could it be that he was really asked to care who He Mu could talk to?He had no choice but to give up and asked He Mu, "How is your health recently? Are you okay?"

"Very well." Mother He said, "The doctor said it's nothing serious, just resting at home is enough."

"That's good." He Ning felt relieved, because he knew that Mother He was not a person who likes to be indifferent to everything. She said that she was in good health, so she was really in good health.

Mother He remembered something and said, "He Qin moved back to your brother-in-law's house a few days ago. She lived in your bedroom before. Go back and have a look. She is leaving in a hurry. I don't know if there is anything there. What is left behind. If there is anything, you can take it to her."

"She really is." He Ren stopped talking halfway through, and simply shut up.

He walked up the stairs with ease and went back to his bedroom.The house is quiet, father and Uncle Zhong are not at home, they probably went fishing next to the community together again.

The bedroom was obviously swept away in a hurry, and only large pieces of furniture such as wardrobes, beds, and tables were left in the room.He casually walked over to the bed, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zeng Luli: "Have you arrived at the set? How is it over there?"
