red dust upside down

Su Rong returned to the box with an attitude of provoking a teacher.

However, as soon as he entered, he saw Li Shang holding the small moon cake box he found in his coat and looking at it carefully.

"Why are you messing with people's things?" Su Rong immediately forgot about the braid, and quickly called him: "Don't eat it!"

It was okay if he didn't bark, but when he barked, Li Shang raised his head and glanced at him, and at the same time quickly stuffed the fresh meat mooncake into his mouth.

Su Rong: "..."

Li Shang originally wanted to annoy him, take a bite and throw it away, but this mooncake was surprisingly good, the skin was crispy and soft, and the inside seemed to be stuffed with fresh meat and shrimp. The gravy was delicious and warm.The grandmother Li Rui took with her when she went abroad is a local dish, and he is very accepting of this taste.

"Oh," he wanted to ask Su Rong, "Lin Sa can eat it, but I can't?"

Su Rong laughed angrily at him.

"Where did my brother offend you?"

Li Shang didn't bother to answer his question at all, and asked him, "What did you chat with Yan Shuo for so long?"

Su Rong didn't intend to hide it from him at first, so she said frankly: "I'm discussing with him how to engage Xia Yi, let him find a trainee like Xia Yi, and I will help him to praise him."

"Oh," Li Shang stretched his arms and leaned on the sofa, and asked lazily, "Can Boyi hold two traffic?"

He asked the key point. How do you look at it, Su Rong's cooperation with Boyi this time is different from Xia Yi's cooperation with Boyi. After all, Li Shang and Boyi still have a relationship that may change jobs. If Boyi really offers one When Xia Yi came, Li Shang went to talk about job hopping, but the price would be lowered instead.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the interest relationship, let alone Li Shang.Su Rong didn't intend that he would let her go easily, so she explained: "I have my plan."

As the manager being questioned, he was already very polite.Many senior managers in the industry have prestige in front of artists. Even Xia Yi, who is in the same position as Li Shang, has always respected managers, and the big names are reserved for assistants.But Li Shang had already won the battle with Rita, so hearing what Su Rong said, it was a bit uncomfortable.

He didn't say anything when he was angry, but his face turned cold immediately, and he said, "You better really have a plan. If you go to play SM with Yin Xi like Rita, I'll change managers immediately."

His speech was really wild and irritating. Rita was here, and when he heard him use SM to describe her relationship with Yin Xi, she would probably vomit blood with anger.

No wonder he thinks this way, Su Rong is Vincent's apprentice, and Vincent can be said to be loyal to Yin Xi, since Boyi offered an olive branch, Su Rong's nostalgia for Baili Media can be seen by anyone who is not blind. Now that he is doing this trick again, it is really misunderstood that he is trying to keep Li Shang in Baili Media.

Yet even knowing that everything is extenuating, it's kind of heartbreaking to hear him say it himself.But it wasn't the first time Su Rong was sad, she was used to it.So he just said indifferently: "I am your manager, so naturally I put your interests first."

Li Shang didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he just smiled coldly.Su Rong didn't know where his bad mood came from, he just thought it was lack of sleep, so he ignored him, took out his mobile phone to look at it, Li Shang folded his hands, and asked him bluntly: "Call me out Just for this? Playing with your phone?"

Su Rong said patiently: "No."

"That's why?" Li Shang sneered: "Is it because of some ridiculous reason for giving me the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Warm stories are always dismissive jokes for him, and a sincere confession is not as realistic as meeting in a five-star hotel. Su Rong has long been used to his behavior, so he never said it again, so as not to be laughed at, and just did it silently .So Li Shang would never know that the mooncake he ate was secretly made by Su Rong himself with Pei Yin's leftover ingredients. It was just a test product, and he actually wanted to make it for him tomorrow.

It's actually very simple to like someone. When you see a good movie, you want to share it with him. If you eat something delicious, you want to give it to him.This is a universal rule, even a vicious person like Pei Yin can immediately see what Su Rong is thinking, and he is not allowed to feed it to Li Shang.But Li Shang's aggressive character complicates all this.

Su Rong used to be angry, but now she just feels tired, so she patiently explained to him: "If you are tired, you can go to sleep for a while, I brought you here for work, not for the Mid-Autumn Festival, or to strengthen our relationship with you , You will know when someone arrives."

This sentence didn't know where Li Shang was provoked, so his face darkened again, and he folded his hands and stopped talking.

Fortunately, a call came in soon, and it was a girl who suppressed her anger: "Did you guys from Lishang Studio just stare at my variety show and snatch it?"

It was Erya, who had previously planned the variety show that took her mother on a trip, but was snatched away by Rita without saying a word.Young people are more tenacious and unyielding, and they created a variety show where they pretended to be a star to fulfill their fans' wishes. Yin Xi sent the planning case to Li Shang again. Although Boyi had already offered an olive branch at that time, Su Rong still did not hesitate. grabbed it.

No wonder she was so angry.

This sentence was purely emotional, Su Rong didn't answer it, and asked her lightly: "If it was Rita who answered the phone now, would you dare to say that?"

There was too much threat in his words, Er Ya suddenly fell silent, and when he spoke again, his tone softened, and he said with a bit of sadness: "Su Rong, I thought you were different from Rita."

After all, she was young and still blamed him, and Su Rong didn't point out that the root cause of her planning being robbed repeatedly was actually her trustworthy "Boss Yin", and only said to her: "If you are so reluctant to part with this project, You can come and work with my team, I just happen to be busy recently and don't have time to shoot variety shows."

"It's impossible for me to be someone's second-in-command."

Talented young people tend to fall into this trap, and refuse to enter a perfect system, because there are people at the top who are oppressed and directed by others, and cannot "maintain the independence of their works."But now she makes wedding clothes for people every day, and only one name is left on the credit list, and her works are gone, so she still has no independence.

"I don't know how to do variety shows. What you came here to do is Rita's business. You should think about it carefully. I will wait for you for a day and give me the answer in a day."

Su Rong hung up the phone and rubbed her face with her hands, as if she was extremely sleepy. This action was like a cat washing its face, and he looked like a cat. Normal people would find it amusing to see it.Only people like Li Shang didn't feel soft-hearted at all, and even taunted him: "So it's Rita and Yin Xi playing SM, you playing with me?"

He meant that Su Rong worked so hard to destroy young people's dreams, which was very similar to when Rita was there, except that Rita was for Yin Xi's approval, and Su Rong was for his love, neither of which was possible. stuff, so it's a masochist.

I shouldn't pay attention to him, but Su Rong couldn't help but refute him: "If a person wants something very much, but he can't get it with his best efforts, even if he looks embarrassed, he shouldn't be laughed at, right? There’s always something you can’t get, right?”

"I didn't."

"Is it not, or because I can't get it, so I pretend that I don't want it?"

Su Rong knew that the words would anger him, but he still underestimated Li Shang's attack power.Before he finished speaking, Li Shang's face suddenly sank: "You mean I want you to teach me what I want? As I said earlier, I'm not interested in your silly games where you like me and I like you." , don't use your idiot head who is used to watching literary films to speculate on me. Not everyone in this world has childhood shadows waiting for you to save, and you don't have that ability. If you have this time, you might as well look in the mirror and be realistic. Don't drag me up in the middle of the night to act in a romantic drama! I don't have time to play with you."

Among the people on the ninth floor, Pei Yin is the one with the worst temper and the most suitors. In the past, in Huatian, there were often beautiful female trainees or ordinary staff who would confess to him.However, even he never showed a cold face to those girls who were so nervous that they were about to lose their temper. It was also under the influence of their seniors that Su Rong learned early not to be too bad to those who like her.Because they like to be like a magnifying glass, because they will instinctively put down their defenses when facing you.Some words may be just thorns to others, but they will become knives to those who like you.

Li Shang has always been good at using knives.

The room fell silent for a moment, and the sound of breathing could almost be heard. Su Rong didn't speak for a long time, like falling down the stairs on a rainy day, and had to sit on the ground for a while before recovering and feeling the pain.

But this has no meaning to Li Shang, his own liking has no meaning to him, pain is even more meaningless, maybe it is not as good as passers-by, passers-by are at least neutral, with him, he may have become a derogatory term long ago.

If he keeps silent until the end of the world, he will not regret it, maybe he has lost the ability to create emotions long ago - but Su Rong knows that this is just self-deception, Li Shang is not an anti-social personality, he will also have people who are willing to treat him gently, It's just not me.

Fortunately, the waiter knocked on the door soon: "Mr. Su, the guest from 1406 has arrived. He saw the note you asked me to hand over, and asked me to come over and ask if it's convenient for you to come over."

"You tell him for me, I hope he can come over."

The room became quiet again, and Li Shang probably felt that he had spoken too seriously, or thought it was an opportunity to speak, and asked, "Who did you date?"

Su Rong didn't speak, but the door was knocked quickly, and he said "Come in", a thin middle-aged man came in, wearing glasses, dressed casually, with a stiff expression, in fact, it is easy for a man to dress up when he is middle-aged It's embarrassing, but he's fine. He doesn't wear a bracelet or a watch.

In fact, he didn't even bring his mobile phone, otherwise Su Rong wouldn't come here to block him.

Many people have seen his films but never seen him in person.This is very uncommon among directors. No matter how arrogant a director is, like Lu He, he can still make false claims with the management, but he is different.

The reason is also very simple. He has no less than five Golden Bear Awards in his hands. Counting the awards for leading actress and leading actor, best soundtrack and best art design, the awards his films have won can fill the entire study room.

He never has to socialize because his name is Le Zijiao.

Yin Xi hid him deeply, but in fact there was no need to hide him, as long as he didn't give his contact information, ordinary people would never find him.Before Huatian moved to the mainland, the way to find him was very simple. Every day, he would go to a restaurant to eat steamed grouper there.Now that Baili Media is in Beijing, many people think that he just lives in a snail’s nest. No one knows that he actually likes to run around, not to travel. To use an old word, it should be called "Collecting the Wind". To see people, I often sit on the side of the street and watch people for an afternoon.There is a story that a few girls went to Corsica to travel. They were all locals and had no Asian faces. There was an antique shop under the hostel where they lived. The owner was a bad-tempered local old man who moved a stool every day. I don't know what to jingle at the door. It's strange that there is an Asian man watching next to it early in the morning every day.The old man called him for a day, and he looked at it for a day, and asked the owner of the hotel. The boss said that he was a Chinese. He had been here for half a month, and he came every day. Read it here.The girl felt that the Chinese looked familiar, so she took a photo. Half a year after returning to China, when she saw the Golden Bear award, she suddenly remembered, isn't this Le Zijiao?

That was Le Zijiao's experience when he was filming "Tong Tian". No one thought that he could shoot a martial arts film in Italy.And after staying for half a year, it became an unsolved case in the entertainment industry.

Many people are puzzled, saying why many powerful people in the circle are easy to deal with, and some are even innocent.Su Rong thinks that this is because a person's energy is limited, no matter how talented he is, if he wants to achieve something in a certain field, he can't do it without working hard day after day.Some people choose to exploit and manipulate people's hearts, while others choose to create.Just like the metaphor of Li Shang, some people make products, while others do marketing.It's just that those who make products can at least leave their works, and those who do marketing are vigorous and vigorous, but when they leave, people leave the tea.

However, if there is one point of achievement, it will be very glorious. No one else can do this kind of profitable business except them.

Le Zijiao is actually not a fool, not to mention that Su Rong's note already stated his intention of coming, so he habitually glanced at Li Shang, and asked Su Rong, "What do you want from me?"

Su Rong glanced at him and knew that the matter was in order.In fact, the more powerful the director, the more he dares to use newcomers. As long as the face is suitable, the acting skills can be slowly adjusted/taught, no matter how dull, the director will teach him every movement and expression. It was Le Zijiao who sat on Jin Yunsen's lap and performed it for her.

But it was also Cheng Ke's movie that angered his stubborn literary youth audience and made him dare not use commercial actors until now.

Su Rong didn't intend to go around in circles with him.

"Li Shang is going to Boyi." He said directly.

Le Zijiao didn't speak, but just glanced at Li Shang again.

"Boss Yin and I want your second male lead in a movie, but Bo Yi won't give it to Lu He, so we're going to Bo Yi. Boss Yin knows it, but it still can't be redeemed." He calmly narrated the process, Without any rhetoric.

Le Zijiao pursed his lips and did not speak. He always cherished words like gold and only spoke through the camera, so Su Rong could recite every word of the movie lines.

"It's none of his business, it's because I haven't been inspired recently."

"At the beginning, you were also uninspired, so you still made two films in three years."

It was to pay off the debt, and ended up winning several Golden Bear Awards. In fact, sometimes people don’t know how much potential they have unless they are forced. Most directors shoot better while awake.

"You only want the second male?"

"As long as the male second." Su Rong doesn't even need to add the suffix "but you can't shoot casually". Le Zijiao's self-requirements are much higher than Li Shang's requirements for movies.

"Okay." Le Zijiao said.

"By the way, the promotion is a month late, so it's a small favor for us."

Le Zijiao didn't answer, but nodded, and walked out directly, as if she didn't want to stay here any longer.

Li Shang watched the transaction happen from the beginning to the end, and everything was so fast that it was unbelievable.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." Su Rong said.

One of his favorite stories is called "The Gift of the Magi". A poor and loving couple try their best to give each other a good Christmas gift, even if they pay everything for it.In fact, not only love, but also the relationship between people is like this. You are not important, as long as the other party is happy.

Yin Xi does not hesitate to lose Li Shang's cash cow, but also wants to keep Le Zijiao's freedom.So it is also expected that Le Zijiao sacrificed a little freedom to keep Yin Xi's cash cow.

People who can see it can't do what Su Rong is doing now, and people who can see it can't see this line anymore.Everyone said he was elegant, and everyone said that elegant people were useless. It was because elegant people refused to do common things. If they really did it, they must hit the point. In any case, Rita never imagined that she would make so many fuss in front of Yin Xi, it would be better to pester Le Zijiao directly.As long as she didn't understand why Yin Xi was protecting Le Zijiao, she would never have thought that Le Zijiao would be willing to cooperate with her.

It was only now that Li Shang realized why Su Rong brought him here in the middle of the night.

He has rarely had such complicated emotions in his life, and he may be a little embarrassed. A normal person should apologize at this time, but he just said: "I..."

"Don't." Su Rong stopped him calmly: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you see me delivering things to my senior brother and then chatting with you. You misunderstood that I was bothering you for personal matters. I made the mistake first, so don't blame me." you."

He said: "I promise you, from now on, you and I will not have any personal contact. I am your agent only for money, if you ever feel that I am harassing you in private matters, you can immediately Fire me. If I don't perform well at work, I can fire me. Other than that, we won't have any private conversations to avoid misunderstandings."

For the first time, Li Shang didn't know what to say.

And Su Rong didn't say anything else, he just took his coat and walked out the door.

"It's a pleasure to work with," he said.

In fact, it took Li Shang a month to get a glimpse of Su Rong's arrangement for the night.

The artist Boyi sent over was seven points similar to Xia Yi, born to be a star, fresh, handsome, and approachable.At that time, the third episode of the variety show had already been broadcast, and the artist had already become popular on the Internet. Boyi was very happy to have achieved such great results in his business without capital, and was about to call to thank him, when Su Rong released the fourth episode preview.

In the trailer, there is a fan of an actress who is a bit chubby, and the voice-over is the artist laughing: "She is really heavyweight!" Then the scene of the fan secretly wiping tears is edited, the effect is very sensational, the online marketing account of Xia Yi Already ready to go, it will be so dark that he can't stand up.

Boyi found out early on that the words were edited maliciously, but the original film is all in Su Rong's hands, and the cuts are all in his hands. Heaven and hell are all about him.

There is no business without capital in this world. They want Su Rong's fish, but Su Rong counts on their bait. He thinks that the bait is not enough, so he specially praises him for three times, makes him a little red, and shows Boyi his potential. .The original path-finding chess piece has become tasteless, and it is a pity to discard it.Just like the saying in the ancient book, if you want to take it, you must first give it.

Mr. Yan called himself this time, still smiling: "Mr. Su, can't you cut it like this?"

Su Rong didn't even bother to chat with him: "I want Lu He's movie male second."

"It's really a lion..." Boss Yan still wanted to start a verbal battle.

"Li Shang got the second male lead in Le Zijiao's movie, Mr. Yan hasn't heard the news yet, right?"

Yan Shuo also knows the weight of this sentence. If Yin Xi can take out this bargaining chip, there is a high probability that Li Shang will stay in Baili Media. If he tosses for two months and fails to show a flow, he will feel ashamed without the company's people talking about it. .

"Then you have to fight Xia Yi at the same time. If we don't pry a hole, our people won't be able to get out."

"make a deal."
