red dust upside down

Rita was in Yin Xi's office when she received Su Rong's text message.

As early as two days ago, she knew about the variety show, and it was the company's decision to let Li Shang go. The planner, Erya, personally called the name, and Mr. Yin agreed. Whether she agrees or not, nothing can be changed.

But in Li Shang's place, this account must be kept on her head.She is not only his manager, but also has always been the intermediary between him and Baili Media. Li Shang is a tyrant, and only he is lawless. If anyone offends him even a little, he will definitely take revenge.His revenge is also like a wise tyrant, who thinks about the consequences, but never thinks about the gains and losses, and never hesitates.It seems that a part of his life budget is specially prepared for revenge, and he doesn't care about his own losses, as long as the other party also tastes the price.

It was the best example for Lu He before.

In fact, their traffic is almost humble in front of those big directors who have the right to speak in the film industry. It is estimated that Lu He is dumbfounded because he has never been counterattacked.The effect is also immediate - Li Shang almost lost all the opportunities to cooperate with Lu He in the future, but before other directors want to play Li Shang, they must first weigh the consequences.

Rita cursed behind her back, but she also admired Li Shang a little bit in her heart.

This circle is a jungle society, each has its own way of survival, and Li Shang's toughness is also a strategy.But people are animals that are good at finding reasons for themselves. They say that their dignity is greater than the sky. In fact, no one feels heartache when they really have to pay the price.The special thing about Li Shang is that he has this kind of determination at any cost in his bones. Rita once suspected that he had a tendency to self-destruct. Fortunately, after observing carefully for a while, he found that he was not a pure person at all. He also liked sports cars and luxury houses.

She is like an animal trainer, walking on the tip of the knife.No one in this circle knows Li Shang's character better than her, and because of that, she can't go back and can only stay here with Yin Ximo.

"Boss Yin, you have to give me something sweet, otherwise I really can't go back to work."

Yin Xi looked at the document without raising his head, and asked her, "Who do you want to deal with?"

These words can be said to hit Rita's pain point. It is really a bit short of breath to say it when the manager has a deal with the artist.But she has always been soft, so she only froze for a moment, smiled again, and said, "Li Shang runs to the beach every time he is on vacation. He has a habit of not staying in hotels, but buying houses. There are basically some cities in the cities he often visits." Mr. Yin guesses, which city does he have no house in?"

"where?"

"Los Angeles." Rita looked into Yin Xi's eyes and said, "The relationship between him and his mother has always been like this, Mr. Yin doesn't know yet."

Strictly speaking, it was his home and the city where he grew up, but he didn't want to stay there even for a day.The relationship between mother and child has come to this point, Rita really can't easily say "Why don't you go to a variety show together" easily.

Yin Xi raised his head, Rita has been with him for almost 20 years, and he knew that he always had this expression, calm and gentle, without any emotion.

"what do you want?"

"The male lead in Le Zijiao's new movie." Rita showed his hole card before he refused: "I know it's a female lead, and there aren't many male leads, it's just an image."

If you want to judge who makes the best movies among domestic directors, you will definitely not be able to judge, but if you judge who makes the best literary films, Le Zijiao is a well-deserved number one.At that time, Lu He had just transitioned, and two commercial films a year, the awards were not received, and the box office was the best. When he went to the film awards ceremony to present the awards, he was asked face to face by a Hong Kong media reporter: "Has Director Lu considered giving up literary and artistic films to the domestic film industry?" What about the damage?"

Lu He replied cleverly: "What are you afraid of, there is still Le Zijiao in China."

Le Zijiao's literary films are well-known, and they are also famous for their slow shooting. Back then, for a smoking scene, Zhou Zixiang asked Zhou Zixiang to shoot 140 times seven times in a row, which is still a good story.No matter how ordinary an actor is in his hands, he can shine.Many artists with bad deeds became popular in his hands, and one work will last a lifetime.

Yin Xi hides Le Zijiao so well that Rita has no chance to show her skills. Although a company can only ask for a role like this.

Yin Xi's answer was also very simple: "No."

"Who did you give it to?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Rita simply guessed: "Qi Chu is not the right age, Xia Zheng is too young..."

"It's an unknown actor." Yin Xi said lightly, "You don't know him, his name is Tan Hua."

"Nice name." Rita's voice was calm.

Yin Xi looked at her with complicated eyes for a moment, and then said: "He was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival five years ago."

It turned out to be from another camp—the people under Yin Xi’s hands are clearly divided into two categories, one is Li Shang, and the other is Le Zijiao. The former is for business, and the latter is for protection in Taohuayuan 's own son.

"So there's nothing to talk about?" She looked at Yin Xi's eyes: "Is there no male second?"

"No."

Rita took out a cigarette and lit it, her fingertips trembling slightly holding the cigarette.

"why?"

"The male second and Li Shang don't match, and their appearance is even worse..."

"Why do you treat Li Shang like this?"

Yin Xi pursed his lips.

"My remuneration to Li Shang is the same as the market price. This is the work arranged by the company, and it will also help his personal image. If he is professional enough, he should know how to deal with his emotions."

Rita stared into his eyes.

"Mr. Yin, do you have a ruler in your heart? When every artist comes to you, you see, oh, this is for me to make money, so just throw it to Rita, like exile and distribution, resources are always for your relatives." Son, we only deserve to pick up some leftovers. Even if you pick up an actor from the side of the film studio who hasn't been filmed in a few years, it is a higher priority than Li Shang."

Yin Xi put down the document in his hand.

"You said that Li Shang is so pitiful, and you said just now that Li Shang refuses to buy a house in LA. How many houses do you know? He graduated five years ago, and he is still renting in a village in the city."

"It's coming again! It's not that they don't want to make money, it's that they can't make money. Do you think they will come if they really have a chance to make a lot of money? It's just to gain fame and think they are noble." Rita said bitterly.

Yin Xi's eyes darkened.

"Even if he is pretending, what's hindering you and Li Shang?" He asked calmly: "Tanhua wants to act in a movie, I will act for him. Li Shang wants to make money, I will give him a chance to make money, your studio The share ratio is one of the highest in the industry, you can take the business resources of the whole company in the past two years if you want, have I frowned?"

"Oh, so we are not qualified to act in movies, but can only be used as money printing machines?"

"If Li Shang doesn't want to make money anymore, come and tell me at any time. As long as he tells me that he wants to transform into an acting school, I will immediately set up a project to help him prepare a literary film. You can't want everything, you have to make money, and you have to be good." Movies are gilded, good movies are gilded for Li merchants, how can they live in Tanhua?"

Rita turned pale from choking.

"If I remember correctly, your relationship with Li Shang is not so good that you feel wronged for him. You just subconsciously don't want to conflict with him, and you always want to get some compensation before you can go back and face him. Broker People and entertainers are sometimes like beasts and tamers, either tame him or be devoured. You were a very professional agent before, don't let me down."

Yin Xi lowered his head to look at his documents again, which meant to chase away the guests, but Rita didn't leave immediately, but stood there for a while.

"Like Li Shang, I will always be the one who makes money, right?"

Yin Xi didn't even lift his eyes.

"There is a documentary about going to Africa to trace the migration route of the Mongolian ancestors. It is no problem to win the Golden Bear Award. It passes through the Ebola epidemic area and cannot take a bath for a month. Do you want to go?" He didn't even need to wait for Rita to answer. Said: "Stop projecting your grievances on Li Shang, and don't feel sorry for yourself. You are not as artistic as you think, but you think that what you can't get is the best. Your bags are no better than Li Shang's." There are few houses. I will hold a video conference later, please close the door when you go out, thank you."

For a moment, Rita really wanted to ask him: "You treat me like this, isn't it because that newcomer named Er Ya started a variety show and has the potential to replace me?"

But when the words came to his lips, it turned into "Then I will direct this variety show."

"it is good."

Yin Xi didn't lie, all the business resources of the company, as long as Li Shang wanted it, he would give it to him.Whether or not it breaks the heart of a rookie who spends three days writing a hundred-page programming proposal.

Rita was supposed to laugh, but for some reason, she couldn't laugh. She took out her phone and looked, it was a new message from Su Rong.

No wonder Mr. Yin likes to raise those people who are useless except for their hard bones, and they can't make a penny and still pay for it.

They're funny sometimes because you know reality will bring them to their knees sooner or later.But every once in a while, you also have a little bit of hope that they can last a little longer, and a little longer, so that you can also believe in something.

After Su Rong sent her resignation text message, she wanted to sleep well for two days, but Pei Yin called him over.

Pei Yin is turning into a variety show, a talent show, hundreds of young boys are dressed in white, with conspicuous brand names on their chests, like products coming out of an assembly line.Said it was other people, but in fact, most of the people in the audition were his apprentices, and he was watching with his arms folded.This is a bit like a big exam, and the apprentices have to match hair and makeup according to each person's different looks.The little apprentices have solid basic skills, but aesthetics still needs to be practiced. After applying the makeup, some people will be imaginative. Pei Yin didn't say anything, and just smashed a makeup brush over it, and the soft squirrel hair loose powder brush flicked on the top of the little apprentice's head. , and fell directly into the arms of the contestant, which startled the contestant, thinking that he shouldn't be playing with his mobile phone, so he smiled flatteringly at him.

Just bored, when Su Rong arrived, he was listless.When Pei Yin saw him like this, he knew he was being bullied again, so he didn't bother to ask, so he rubbed his head and told him to cheer up.

Su Rong let out a "huh" and asked him, "Why did you call me here?"

Pei Yin didn't answer, kicked the apprentice who was putting on makeup, and said, "Go and get that suit."

It is common for them to bring clothes to Su Rong to wear. In fact, each piece of clothing has its own temperament. Yi Zhan wears Armani more, Pei Yin is naturally suitable for intoxicating and gorgeous vintage styles, and Su Rong is often dressed up by them. Young master, he has a small face and clean lines, which is the most suitable for wrapping up tightly.Su Rong was also used to it, so she didn't bother to resist, so she obediently changed her clothes, Pei Yin scratched his hair again, and wanted to touch his face, so he avoided it.

"Don't do it, you have to unload it when you go back."

"It's really lazy."

"You are not the same. If you have time to mess with me, you might as well make your own eyebrows."

Su Rong's hair color is light, but Pei Yin's is too soft, his hair is not obvious, and his eyebrows are a little too neutral. The two often mock each other for kidney deficiency. Pei Yin laughs at him for being underdeveloped, and he laughs at Pei Yin for being so demonic.

The two were bickering, and a dozen more makeup lines had been completed, and when Zhengxin sat down for a round, Pei Yin suddenly kicked Su Rong lightly: "You go and melt that one."

He looked like a [-] or [-]-year-old boy, who should have signed a contract to win, holding a guitar, and a camera was shooting beside him.

"Why, you asked me to come here as a coolie?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just go if you are told."

Su Rong still had a good temper, so he went obediently. He didn't even bring a makeup case, so he took Pei Yin's hand over, lazily put it on the table, and set it up.

"Put the guitar away." He said in a nonchalant tone, "Did you wash your face?"

The young man has probably never been so fierce before, obediently handed the guitar to the director, looking very precious, he was telling him to put it back into the piano case with his face sideways, while Su Rong reached out and pinched his forehead on both sides, like a sketcher Turn his face around like a still life, facing the mirror.

It is a very upright face, the appearance of this age is the most suitable for debut, because the outline has already been formed, and it will no longer be deformed.But with a fresh sense of youth, it is very sharp and catches people.

The first time she saw him, Su Rong understood why Pei Yin called her over.
