red dust upside down

Five days before the shooting of the variety show, Su Rong and Li Shang flew to Los Angeles together.

The difference between Li Shang and many other artists is that his finances are not completely handed over to his agent, and the situation is indeed different. He is actually very "independent", and there is no such thing as an artist and an agent between him and Rita. A deep relationship of trust and bond, especially since Rita has been with him since his debut.This circle is chaotic. Most of the artists are young and have no social experience. Although they earn a lot, they spend money like water and even get blacklisted by the casino. The younger generation of artists have learned how to buy real estate and funds. One is stable, unlike the previous generation, some opened a restaurant with friends and lost their pants, and some were involved in the inside story of the stock market and were warned by the Securities Regulatory Bureau.

Xia Yi's financial management is done by his agent. He is hoarding houses, and an assistant spread the news that Xia Yi has two bags of real estate certificates, hundreds of copies, with serial numbers like new bank notes, and took them. The relationship between him and his family members is not very good. Male celebrities seem to be better, unlike female celebrities such as Le Yingsi, who become popular and support the whole family.

The economic situation of Li Shang is even more mysterious. Even Rita only handles a part of it. He even has a special person to do the tax declaration, and Rita is only responsible for sending it over.He also has a house in China, which is not as exaggerated as Xia Yi. In fact, Xia Yi is also a special case. He contributed to Le Zong during his peak period, and he has been a cash cow for five or six years. Also accompanying the benefactor, it is said that the boss of Le Zong gave him a building in his own real estate to collect rent, and it is also said that Xia Yi bought it himself.

Li Shang’s domestic houses are all self-occupied. In several cities he often visits, he likes duplexes on the top floor, but he doesn’t like villas with gardens. In the villa in City C, the front yard garden was directly demolished to cover the garage, and he even alarmed the owners’ association to send When the letter came, Su Rong didn't read it, and didn't even know that he still had a suite there.

In fact, Su Rong handled his finances in the past two months, and he never took the initiative to hand over the matter. He just took a look at the matter and saw that he has handled all the income of Li Shang, and the money for Li Rui has also been passed from him. , and Pei Yin made a phone call to taunt, knowing how much Li Rui bought luxury goods.I don't know how the property tax was sent to him. It was all in English. Su Rong gave it to Huang Lei after a glance.

It's no wonder that the audience hates the rich now. Money is indeed easy to earn at the top of the entertainment pyramid. Even pushing down three levels, [-]th-tier young actors can make money much easier than ordinary people.Zhan Xingzhou sent a photo two days ago, it is a small yard, paved with floor tiles, piled up with sundries, a tree was planted against the wall, and yellow leaves fell all over the place.Su Rong sent a question mark, and he replied: "What kind of tree do you think is good to plant?"

Su Rong was too lazy to play Tai Chi with him, so she asked Huang Lei, who was very well informed: "Oh, Zhan Xingzhou bought a small yard in Nancheng."

The small courtyard of the one-story house in the old city is really a bit of a music-making posture.Su Rong turned back and said, "Did you buy it with the signing fee?"

Boyi is still generous, he can afford a house like an abandoned son, and it is also easy to make money in the circle now.At the beginning, they had an actor of acting school who was interviewed. The young man didn’t know the rules in the industry, so he revealed the exact figure, saying that he only took 100 million yuan for acting in a play for a friend, but the other party even cut him out of shape to set off the heroine , came up angrily, and cursed "fuck".After the interview came out, the audience scolded him bloody, saying that 100 million was not enough.Everyone in the circle knew that he was wronged, but no one came out to speak out.The entertainment industry is like this, Xia Yi Lishang has tens of millions of fans, with an average monthly salary of [-] sky-high, if you let them know that the two of them can earn seven figures in just one stop, why would they tearfully send "Brother has nothing , it’s just us.”

In fact, the top level of the pyramid is alright. Zhan Xingzhou and the others are the ones who earn the most sympathy. There are more than a dozen of them in a batch of drafts. The fans are not too many. They all cry and want to spend money. I'm afraid The brothers starved to death. In fact, Huang Lei sold out the transaction price of Zhan Xingzhou's house in a few minutes.The Boyi family has a big business, and the entertainment company is just a branch company. It feels like a public institution, and the income is guaranteed in drought and flood.

In contrast, Li merchants spend more money from the pockets of passers-by and brands, instead of just trying to catch fans, Su Rong also took a look at his real estate distribution when giving him a tax refund. Li merchants have few but fine houses. Most of them are seashores, scenic spots, and large manors, all of which have names. He takes less than a month of vacation a year, just to put it there, and someone needs to look at the house. The annual maintenance cost and property tax are not small amounts.Unlike Xia Yi, she can also collect rent.

In fact, it’s okay for the agent to take care of this. Rita talked about this with Li Shang at the beginning, and it seemed to persuade him to choose more financial management methods. The two chatted for a long time, and they seemed very harmonious.But Su Rong was a bit overkill, he didn't want Li Shang to feel that he wanted to interfere in his private life, and he was not Tong Xiaojia, so he didn't want to swear any sovereignty.

He has always had an awkward personality, and Vincent is spoiled too. Since he was a child, his seniors have made good things for him to play with. If he is angry, he will stop playing.Pei Yin has suffered from this before, once quarreled with him, and said, "Then don't ask me to bring you something", from then on, Pei Yin didn't want anything from him. No need, Pei Yin was so angry that he was completely smashed, and it took two or three years to get better.

At the beginning, Li Shang said that he meddled in his private life, but he held a grudge to this day, and since then he has avoided Li Shang's private life.In fact, he has his own house, and Vincent prepared it for him early on, but it's not too far away, and of course it's small.He slept with Li merchants purely because of the itinerary with Li merchants, it's nothing, Huang Lei and Xiao Ke have slept together.In this way, in the first month of sleeping in the Li merchant's guest room, he still paid the rent to the Li merchant's account. When the Li merchant heard it, he thought there was something wrong with his ears and asked him, "Can you say it again?"

Su Rong was very calm: "Why, Qin Yuxuan didn't pay you the rent?"

Li Shang was so angry that he carried him into the lounge and kneaded him for a while. If Lin Sa hadn't knocked on the door to fix his makeup, Su Rong wouldn't be able to get away.

In fact, Li Shang did not wrong him, he did it on purpose.But it's also because the makeup artist is Lin Sa now, the contrast is too sharp, if Pei Yin is not so obvious.Although Su Rong now takes things from Pei Yin, he doesn't take the initiative to ask for them. There was a time before when he borrowed clothes, and he shouldn't have called someone else. Pei Yin called him directly and scolded him: "You're dumb, I don't know ask me?"

Su Rong said: "Your connections are not for nothing."

"It's not for nothing, I'm happy to lend you, can you control it?"

But Su Rong didn't mean that. Pei Yin lent him because he was willing to lend him. After all, it was a sacrifice.Lin Sa is different, Lin Sa really doesn't mind, Pei Yin spends a lot of money, Lin Sa treats gold nuggets like rubble, the two are different concepts.So he habitually relies on Lin Sa.He can only owe Xiao Su's favor to Lin Sa. He knows that Lin Sa doesn't think it's a debt, and he doesn't need to feel it.

He is the same with his seniors. The ninth floor is now an empty nest, and Pei Yin doesn't know the details of the situation. He gave Vincent directly except for the first month's money, but he also knows that Vincent must have saved it for him, so he just learns. Smarter.No one would know, not even Vincent, if they went through the company's account without going through Vincent.Only he can do this.

But this logic can't be explained to Li Shang. Once Huang Lei didn't print it properly and accidentally mixed the account from the ninth floor into the script. The company went bankrupt."

He has always been like this, and he didn't have the patience to listen to explanations, so he didn't like the trusting relationship between Su Rong and Lin Sa. At Jian Ke's reception, Lin Sa gave Su Rong a watch, which was his own, and Su Rong wore it all day long. , Li Shang couldn't understand it, and asked him, "Why didn't you pay Lin Sa for the equipment this time?"

"My senior brother gave it to me, what's the installation fee?"

Li Shang was upset when he heard the words "my senior brother", and sneered, "You might as well ask your senior brother to sell his watch and buy a house instead of looking like a hotel."

Su Rong was so angry that his face was flushed. In fact, everyone felt that Lin Sa was at a loss. Huang Lei and the others also said this before, and Pei Yin made fun of it all day long, telling him not to learn from Lin Sa, but to fetch water from a bamboo basket. It's empty, save money.Love brains do not end well.

In fact, the Lin Sa Sleeping Hotel is nothing to him and Su Rong, and he doesn't mind it. Once Su Rong saw Lin Sa making buttons, and there were a dozen of them lined up. They were all waste products. The only difference was the subtle pattern of the tortoise Just the difference.But anyone who saw him making buttons would not think that he was an abandoned and destroyed loser.

Su Rong is not as good as Lin Sa, Lin Sa really doesn't mind, he is like this when half of the entertainment circle is telling his legend.Now the heat faded and turned into pity and emotion, and so did he.Many people were disappointed with him. In fact, they felt that this story lacked an ending that would make the "scumbags" regret. Lin Sa was more open to them than they were. "When the script was sent, the word "Xiao Su" was included among the surprise guests. During the meeting, Huang Lei was in charge of introducing it. At that time, Su Rong had just lost his temper. Huang Lei was frightened and stuttered when she read the word "Xiao Su". , read the word "Xiao" three times in a row, Lin Sa sat opposite her, smiled softly, and continued her words jokingly: "Xiao Su, that word read Su."

All these things can't be told to Li Shang, those sad, regretful, and subtle emotions, Jian Ke's unbearable heart for taking the Xujiang flag, worry about the ninth floor, why he can trust Lin Sa unconditionally, these are all There is no way to tell Li Shang.Li Shang's world doesn't have these things. Su Rong is a weird animal like a cat. Cats are surprisingly able to bear the pain, and hide in a corner to lick the wound by themselves after a broken leg.But unexpectedly sensitive, even a tree branch bounced off instantly when it fell on the body.

It's not that Su Rong has no fantasies, and wants to share some secret emotions with him, like that day on the ninth floor of Huatian, quiet and frank.

But as Li Shang said, he doesn't watch literary films.

Li Shang's house in Malibu, the money was handled by Su Rong, which happened to be the after-tax remuneration for two variety shows. Huang Lei also sighed: "It's convenient for BOSS to spend money. The last time An Yunlin bought a house in Vancouver He didn’t even know about foreign exchange control, and he was named and criticized, and he was hacked miserably. In fact, he didn’t like Canada at all, so he wanted to please Tong Xiaojia, but Tong Xiaojia still laughed at him as a turkey.”

Su Rong has seen Tong Xiaojia's speech style before.She is actually the youngest group in the entertainment industry. In Qin Yue's words, young people nowadays have a kind of aboveboard snobbery, like adolescent children who compare themselves, which is too annoying.

But Su Rong was also laughed at by Pei Yin as a little bitch, Vincent actually had a house in Thailand, and Su Rong lived there when he was a child, and after Vincent broke up with that boyfriend, he became even less fond of moving, and even brought Su Rong with him Stay in the country together.Huang Lei was still surprised when she filled out the visa form for Su Rong: "Brother Rong, this passport looks like a whiteboard, it will be fun in case the visa is rejected."

The entertainment circle is the most snobbish circle, Su Rong is lucky to follow Vincent, and has not been wronged much. Adam and Pei Yin are respected by their own hard work. Pei Yin has a lot of stories like this. In those stories, he punched the cabinet lady and kicked the waiter all day long. .

So Pei Yin called him a little soil turtle, and he was not angry.But Li Shang laughed at him once. He remembered that today, when the stewardess handed out the declaration form on the plane, Li Shang picked it up for him.The sea of ​​clouds outside the plane was churning, and the sun shone on the back of his neck. His skin was clean and white, extending to the back collar of his shirt.

"Do you want to go to the bathroom?" Li Shang asked him.

Su Rong filled it seriously without raising her head: "No."

"Really not?"

Su Rong raised her head to look at him suspiciously, but Li Shang just smiled at him lazily, his ears turned red when he would take it easy.

"You are shameless." He blushed with anger and scolded Li Shang in a low voice: "Crazy."

Li Shang was not angry at all, while he was buried in writing, he stretched out his hands to pinch his ears, Su Rong was so funny sometimes, it almost made people feel surprised, why would there be such a person by his side, when he wanted to touch him , you can knead him at any time, you can even bite a tooth mark on that fair skin.

Li Shang felt that he might be a bit anti-social. Of course, there were times when he wanted to wrap up Su Rong and hide it in his pocket, but most of the time, he just wanted to make him angry, and see his white skin revealing the secrets in an instant. It is light red, like some kind of fruit with a lot of water under its thin skin, and it will leave a mark when you press it lightly.Or make him cry, watching his light-colored pupils overflow with a layer of water.When Su Rong is angry, she often has a little shortness of breath, her chest rises and falls, and she looks like she is rushing upwards.

But most of the time, he just wanted to strip off his shirt and do what he thought Li Shang wanted to take him to the bathroom.

It was evening when I came out of the airport, the sky was full of sunset glow, and the sky above that was clear blue. Li Shang drove a reddish sports car with a comfortable interior.Su Rong was still in the observation period when he just arrived in a foreign country, so he didn't pay attention and asked, "Where did you get the car?"

"It's rented." Li Shang said.

Su Rong pursed his lips, he didn't believe it at all, but he just refrained from asking, he really wondered whether Li Shang's view of consumption was influenced by Li Rui, this way of managing money was really bad in his opinion.Especially after he heard Vincent tell so many "horror stories" about superstars in the industry squandering all their money and going out to repay their debts in their later years.

But he held back and obediently fastened his seat belt.Afraid that Li Shang would laugh at him, he didn’t even take photos. In fact, there was nothing to take. The road was like a barren mountain, and it was dark. The more he walked, the more suspicious he became, and he asked Li Shang: “Why is this mountain like this?”

"What was burned, Malibu burned too."

Su Rong's words "Then you still buy it" rushed to her throat, she held back, stared at the rearview mirror and said nothing.

"What about your mother?"

"Whether she burns or not is none of my business."

Su Rong was angry, but thinking about Li Rui's consumption as usual this month, it must have no effect, so she didn't ask.Seeing that there is gradually a beach outside, I remembered: "Is this the beach you used to come to play when you were young?"

"Ah."

Su Rong turned his head to look at it. In fact, sometimes he always thinks of Li Shang very softly. For example, before he came, he always felt that it was because Li Rui and Li Shang had opened up their conversation last time, so the relationship eased. Bought a house here.Even now, when he looks at the white beach outside, he always feels sad, because he knows that this is the last good time of Li Shang's childhood.

Probably he was lying on the window watching too intently, Li Shang impatiently said "Hello".Ask him: "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing."

Li Shang actually knew what he was thinking, but every time Su Rong was like this, he always felt extremely irritable, not angry, but as if he was caught by some complicated and chaotic things, always very impatient.

Fortunately, after arriving at the place, Su Rong's attention was diverted. The house is really good. It was built on the beach. When you come out from the door, you can walk directly from the wooden floor of the porch to the beach. The sand here is soft and soft. The waves are gentle, and the salty smell of the sea breeze is not so obvious. The open yard is planted with large canopy plants, and the few nearby buildings are not as good. Most of them are built on reefs. In fact, the first floor of this building is not suitable for living. .On the viewing platform on the second floor, there is a terrace sofa like the one Vincent put on the balcony on the ninth floor. When it gets dark, the surrounding houses are all lit up, and it seems that the privacy is okay.

"Drink?" Li Shang asked him as soon as he entered the door.

"You know how to mix?" Su Rong was surprised.

"What do you want to drink?"

"I want the one from the last Jane Ke reception."

Li Shang laughed, and Su Rong knew that he was going to laugh again, so she gave him a hard look, followed him in to watch him pour the wine, and was about to laugh at him when he was mixing the wine.

In fact, he also felt that Li Shang actually had a change in mood in his own "home", and he was less aggressive, which may also be his illusion. After all, the beach is so well lit at night, and many walls It was all glass, and jet lag made him a little dizzy, like falling into a candy house from a fairy tale.

I hope Li Shang will not bite him again this time.
