Chasing stars is not as good as chasing agents

The performance of the Lantern Festival Gala went off the rails, and that was the first unlucky thing. After that, many collaborators called Ji Shi one after another, falteringly expressing their intention to stop the cooperation.

Ji Shi knew that it was a blessing and not a curse, and that it was a disaster that he couldn't avoid, so he could only accept it with a smile, and he had already scolded Gu Changfan to the point of blood in his heart.

"Damn, isn't this too much?" Hani slapped the table angrily, causing the coffee in the coffee cup to ripple, "Then how many jobs have you lost now?"

After a few days of changes, Ji Shi has calmed down a lot, so when Hani asked angrily, he calmly calculated, and said, "60.00%."

"Damn it!" Hani scolded, "This Gu Changfan is also so cruel, curse him for rotten little chrysanthemum!"

Ji Shi also gritted his teeth and cursed: "It's useless to curse his rotten ass, but to curse his rotten dick!"

Hani suddenly realized that what Ji Shi said made sense, and Ji Shi was more powerful and could strike with precision, so the two cursed again, and then Hani glanced at Ji Shi, and said, "What are you going to do? Ask Gu Jianchi for help?"

"No." Ji Shi shook his head and said, "It's not like you don't know about my relationship with him now, so asking him for help? Isn't it embarrassing? Besides, Gu Changfan just wanted to target me to slow down Gu Jianchi, so I wouldn't let this Ruyi, stinky brother!"

Ji Shi sighed as he spoke, and said, "The last time I met Gu Jianchi, I found him very tired. I guess he doesn't have the heart to take care of my affairs now."

"..." Hani said "oh" thoughtfully, thinking in his heart that he didn't know whether Ji Shi didn't want to cause trouble for Gu Jianchi, or if he really cared that Gu Jianchi was his ex, so it's not good to bother him. .

"And this matter, I actually already have a plan in mind." Ji Shi took a sip of coffee, showing a sly smile like a fox. Gu Changfan really thought he was a soft persimmon that could be squeezed casually?You must know that it is a soft persimmon, if it is pinched and exploded, it can still explode people's faces with persimmon stuffing.

Hani asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

"He, Gu Changfan, has great abilities. He is not the XX General Administration. He can still cover the sky with one hand? From now on, I just need to choose projects that do not have his family's investment to cooperate with. Besides, isn't he trying to mess with my resources? Then I want to Cast a wide net and get in touch with more projects of his family, but my focus is not on that."

Hani didn't understand why, and asked, "Why do you cast a wide net and not focus on it?"

"Of course it's a waste of his time, energy, and favor." Ji Shi explained, "Let's just take this incident as an example. On the surface, he just talked up and down, and easily left me without resources. But on the TV station, do they find it troublesome? Of course it is troublesome. The three-minute program needs to be adjusted as a whole. Everyone has to work overtime. You can also get a compensation."

"By analogy, it's the same with other jobs. Although I can't shake his big tree, I try my best to make him unhappy."

"When he loses power in the future, and he has no support, tsk tsk tsk, in this world of praising the high and depressing the low, who will praise his stinky feet." The more Ji Shi said, the more he felt refreshed, as if he had already seen Gu Changfan The villain looked unlucky, so he laughed happily.

Hani blinked and said intentionally, "Didn't you ever think that Gu Jianchi would lose? And logically, shouldn't you curse him for losing?"

Ji Shi was stunned for a moment, and said awkwardly, "Gu Jianchi probably won't lose."

Hani smiled even more ambiguously: "You trust him that much?"

Ji Shi hurriedly explained: "Gu Jianchi won, and even if it's not good for me, it won't be bad for me. Gu Changfan doesn't have to be. So you should be like me, curse Gu Changfan for losing!"

Hani stared at Ji Shi for a long time with an expression of "I believe your nonsense", until Ji Shi bowed his head guiltily.

After a while, Ji Shi heard Hani's laughter from the opposite side, his face suddenly became hot, and he felt a sense of embarrassment that had been seen through. He picked up the spoon in embarrassment and kept stirring the coffee.

In the days that followed, Ji Shi showed what it meant to be "more frustrated and braver". The contacts he had accumulated over the years of work were not in vain, so he started frantically sending out promotions and looking for cooperation, without even considering whether the schedule or the role fits. The right questions, most jobs don't get negotiated anyway.

Ji Shidai's artists have a good working attitude, the price is reasonable, and they are very up-to-date, so the crews who have worked with him are quite willing to cooperate again, but now they are all suppressed by others and cannot cooperate.

Casting director of a certain crew: Xiao, this role has already been cast.

Ji Shi: Oh!It's all right, then can you see if there are any other characters that are suitable?My Xiaohe doesn't care about the role, as long as it is a suitable role.

Casting director of a certain crew: There are no other roles either.

Ji Shi: Well, then director, if you have a suitable role in the future, remember to let me know. My Xiaohe, you have also worked with him. He is a pretty good kid, hardworking and talented in acting.

Casting director of a certain crew: That's right, that's right, I really like him.

Ji Shi: Good!Then I won't bother you, I wish you a smooth launch of your new drama!Big sale!

Casting director of a certain crew: Thank you, thank you.

Everyone is in the same circle. The casting director also knows that Ji Shi seems to be short of work recently. Not only is he lacking, but he has repeatedly hit the wall. After much deliberation, I decided to remind Ji Shi.

Casting director of a certain crew: That... Xiao, have you offended someone recently?

Ji Shi: Offended someone?

Casting director of a certain crew: Let me tell you the truth, in fact, this time, someone found an investor in our show and pointed out that they don't want your artist.

Ji Shi immediately turned his attention to the upper body, and uttered five big characters in a heartbroken voice: It really is so! ! !

Casting director of a certain crew: You know?

Ji Shi: I didn't know at first, but I refused at that time... Sigh!I just said why so many crews have rejected me recently, now as soon as you remind me, I will know!

Ji Shi: I really never expected it, this thing shocked and surprised me so much!

The casting director of a certain film crew was aroused by his hesitation and hesitation: If it is convenient for you, tell me the reason?

Ji Shi's smile has turned into a flower, of course it's convenient, what's so inconvenient about it!He just waits for someone to ask him so he can spread the word!

Ji Shi typed happily: It's Mr. Gu...it's Gu Changfan, you know that, right?

Ji Shi: He wanted to rule me unspokenly, but if I didn't want to, he threatened me and made me unable to get along in this circle!

Ji Shi: At that time, I also thought he was just talking about it out of anger, but I didn't expect that he would cut off a lot of my jobs in the end.

Ji Shi: Oh!

After Ji Shi sent it out, he felt that it was a pity, because only words could not perfectly show his acting skills.

He made up a very common reason, and everyone will definitely believe it. For example, the casting director of a certain crew, he really believed it.

However, the casting director of a certain crew is still a little puzzled: Doesn't he like women?

Ji Shi: Hey, who knows, maybe it's a sudden change of taste. We can't figure out the hobbies of the boss. I wonder why he would like me.

Casting director of a certain crew: ...

Casting director of a certain crew: You don't have to be too modest, you look good.

Ji Shi: Teacher director, you are also a senior in the industry. Look, can this matter pass?

The casting director of a certain crew comforted: If it’s just about this, then it’s okay. I guess it won’t be too difficult for you after Gu Changfan gets over this. Will remember for too long, you know.

Ji Shi: I understand, I understand! 【Smiley.jpg】【Smiley.jpg】【Smiley.jpg】。

Of course Ji Shi understood, otherwise he wouldn't have made up such a romantic scandal.

Because after most people know this reason, they will feel like the casting director that this matter will pass after a while, but if everyone knows that he was suppressed because he was "in line", then many people will choose to wait and see, at least until Only after the dust settles in the Gu family, will they consider cooperating with him.

Later, someone asked Ji Shi again, and Ji Shi said so much. Even Gong He heard the rumor and believed it.

"Brother Xiao, are all the rumors on the outside true?! That Gu Changfan really wants to mess with you?"

Ji Shi was almost shocked by Gong He's words: "Young age, be careful with your words, don't just think about it all day long."

"Isn't it? Their Gu family brothers are too stupid! If the elder brother wants to do it, the younger brother also wants to do it!"

"Shut up." Ji Shi couldn't listen anymore, he stuffed the bun in Gong He's mouth, and said, "I have nothing to do with his brother, don't listen to those gossip outside."

Ji Shi opened his eyes and spoke nonsense, as if he didn't spread the gossip.

Gong He took out the bun in his mouth, took a bite, and asked seriously: "So you only had sex with your brother Gu Jianchi?"

"..." Ji Shi raised his hand, making a gesture to hit Gong He, but Gong He put oil on the soles of his feet, and ran away in no time.

***

Gu Jianchi also suffered from myocardial infarction. Although he has no time to find Ji Shi recently, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about Ji Shi's life.

He received the news that Ji Shi was being suppressed, and he also knew about the romantic gossip spreading outside. The protagonists of the gossip were still Ji Shi and Gu Changfan.

Gu Jianchi's blood pressure soared instantly. If he died on the spot, he didn't know whether he died of anger or panic.

Fang Yuyue saw that his complexion was not good, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm sure this 'peachy gossip' came from Ji Shi."

Gu Jianchi's face turned dark again: "..."

Fang Yuyue asked cautiously, "What do you think he wants to do?"

Gu Jianchi pinched the bridge of her nose, and after thinking for a while, guessed: "He did it to lessen the damage caused by Gu Changfan's suppression of him this time. If outsiders know that he is involved in our Gu family's fight, then everyone who wants to help him will probably there is none left……"

"This little money fanatic is ruthless enough. If you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred." Gu Jianchi couldn't help but chuckle again at the end, as if he was very honored, even the dark cloud on his face also retreated.

"And he said that, if he meets someone who wants to rule him out in the future, that person will weigh it up for himself, whether there are benefits from the Gu family that are tempting, regardless of whether it's tempting or not, anyway, he like Ji Shi Side will definitely not follow, and there is no need for others to make fun of themselves."

Fang Yu clicked his tongue twice, and sighed, "As expected of the [なつめ勤] person you're looking for, you two are alike, it's bad enough."

Gu Jianchi glanced at him, thinking that her friend was praising herself.

Fang Yuyue asked again: "But Ji Shi did lose a lot of jobs, what are you going to do? Do you want to help him secretly?"

Gu Jianchi shook her head and said, "He hasn't looked for me yet."

Fang Yuyue blew a hooligan whistle and said, "Why, do you still want him to come to ask you for help? Then it will be fun to have fun with husband and wife?"

"No, he really came to me, why did he ask for my help?" Gu Jianchi said in a particularly proud tone, "He must have scolded me so badly."

Fang Yuyue: "..."

Fang Yuyue complained secretly, he scolded you, you still have such a happy expression, what the hell is it?

"Since he didn't come to scold me, it means he can still handle it. And if I want to help Ji, I don't give him resources now..." The faint smile on Gu Jianchi's face disappeared in an instant, and he pursed his lips slightly. , bent out of a cold arc, his gaze was like a blade, as if it had been ruthlessly pierced into the enemy's chest.

"It's about killing Gu Changfan quickly." Gu Jianchi raised his eyes and looked at Fang Yuyue, "Did you find out what I asked you to investigate?"

"I found out that the projects that Gu Changfan operated before really had a lot of bad debts. How should I put it, he is a 'relative of success and relative of failure'." Fang Yuyue shook his head.

"Okay." Gu Jian Chi smiled slightly, but there was no trace of joy in the smile, "Then leave this matter to him as a big gift."

In the past few years, in order to suppress Gu Jianchi, Gu Changfan has been forming cliques in the family and wooing many uncles and aunts. It seems that he is a bit more imposing, but it is just that.

From Gu Jianchi's point of view, the large group of relatives who just took shares and received bonuses were useless, and he wished to get rid of them, but Gu Changfan had saved them up like stamp collecting.

On the other hand, Gu Changfan also heard rumors outside that even when he went out to play, his friends would make fun of him, either saying that he had changed his taste and liked men, or that he couldn't even win a small manager.

Gu Changfan almost vomited blood from anger.This time is too shameless!It's exactly the same as Gu Jianchi!

Inexplicably, he memorized an unspoken scandal, and the most important thing was the undiscovered scandal, which made him want to suppress Ji Shi even more.

But Ji Shi, what haven't you experienced?He hadn't received a job for a long time before, so he should take it as a vacation, and he would take the vacation with a basic salary openly and aboveboard!Happy!

He just felt that Gong He was being dragged down, but he didn't expect Gong He to be particularly open-minded. He said that he had been busy for a long time anyway, and after the official filming, he also felt that he was not professional enough, so he took a short break and went back to school. Recharge and recharge, I believe that everything will be resolved in the end.

After hearing Gong He's plan, Ji Shi encouraged him: "It's not bad to go back and study for two months. People really can't 'output' all the time, and they have to 'recharge' in time. It's a good thing that you can think like this at such a young age. Are you Which teacher did you contact for class? Is it an acting class or something else? Do you want me to find a teacher for you?"

Gong He rubbed his nose, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I'm going back to take directing classes."

Ji Shi was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Do you really want to be a director in the future?"

Gong He said: "It's a plan for the future. I didn't think about what would happen after so long when I was going to college and chose a major. I chose the acting major according to my interests at the time. When I really entered this line of work, I felt that I was right for the mirror." I'm more interested. But don't worry bro, I won't change careers in the short term, and I still want to help you make money! Besides, being a director requires more resources and contacts than an artist, and it's not something that can be achieved immediately."

Ji Shi smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have a heart. Actually, being a director is very good. When you become a big director in the future, my artist will be on the stage, and I have to ask you."

Gong He laughed and said: "If I become a director, I will definitely hire your artist!"

After Gong He finished laughing, he carefully observed Ji Shi again, and said worriedly: "Brother Xiao, you won't be angry, will you?"

"Huh?" Ji Shi looked at his worried expression and comforted him, "There's nothing to be angry about. In fact, being a manager is a bit like a teacher. A teacher guides students for a few years, and the students will graduate. We guide artists. A short period of one or two years, a long-term cooperation of seven or eight years, and it is impossible to take care of it for a lifetime, I have long thought about it."

Gong He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, go back and rest. If there is a suitable job, I will contact you."

"Okay! Brother Xiao, you should go back earlier."

Ji Shi nodded, and after watching Gong He leave, he went to the training room to look at the newly sent trainees.

During this period of time, his work has stagnated, and he intends to train one or two more newcomers, just to kill this period. When this incident is over and his newcomers have grown up, he can directly push the newcomers out. , when the time comes, several cash cows will help him make money together!Wow, it's beautiful just thinking about it!

But Ji Shi looked around in the training room and felt that it was not too suitable.

He was observing these newcomers, and in fact, these newcomers were also observing him. Compared with their attitude towards other managers, these newcomers were not so enthusiastic about him.

Ji Shi understood that these newcomers probably heard some rumors that he had offended someone, and they were afraid that the resources in his hands would be affected.

This is human nature, and Ji Shi didn't mind too much.

It's just that his disgust towards the source of all this deepened, so he went back to his work station and stabbed Gu Changfan's little head on his notebook a few more times.

Just when he hit the seventh stroke, the phone rang suddenly.

Another Gu family came to him.

It's impossible to say that Ji Shi has no resentment at all, so he answered the phone and said in a rough voice, "Hello!"

Gu Jianchi worried: "Are you caught a cold?"

"..." Ji Shi said in a normal voice, "Yes! I wish I could infect you!"

Gu Jianchi responded positively: "Then I can go to your place to catch the infection right now."

""You...you..." Ji Shi was amazed at his thick skin, and didn't know how to answer for a moment, until he heard a chuckle from the other end of the phone, and then cursed angrily, "Get out. "

"Then I'm afraid it won't be as you wish." Gu Jianchi first smiled, and then said with a serious expression on his face, "I know what Gu Changfan did to you, I'm the one who got you in trouble."

Ji Shi said awkwardly: "Your tone is as if he did something to me."

Gu Jianchi chuckled: "Well, I'll change it next time."

Ji Shi said fiercely: "Who cares about your next time."

When Gu Jianchi heard his fierce voice, his laughter became clearer again.

Ji Shi heard him laugh, and pinched the corner of the notebook depressedly.

After a while, Gu Jianchi restrained her smile, and gently called Ji Shi's name.

This sound was like a light wind and rain, blowing over Ji Shi's heart.

Gu Jianchi continued to comfort her: "Actually, I called this time to tell you, trust me, it's fine, this matter will pass."

"Of course I know." Ji Shi said stubbornly, "But I don't believe in you, I believe in time. After a long time, this matter will naturally pass. Gu Changfan and I have no deep hatred, so he can't do it."

Gu Jianchi breathed a sigh of relief, but he also asked in doubt: "Then why do I hear your tone seem a little downcast? Did you encounter something else?"

Ji Shi did have something in his heart, because he just thought of Gong He's incident that it was impossible for the manager to accompany the artist for the rest of his life, so when it comes to love, can someone accompany the other for the rest of his life?

Of course, it is impossible for him to talk about this with Gu Jianchi now.

"It's nothing." Ji Shi tried to hide it, "I'm just looking at newcomers recently, and I'm a little worried that I haven't found a suitable one. What else do you want? I'll hang up if I'm okay, I'm very busy!"

"A director I worked with before gave me two drama tickets. I don't have time to go, so I thought of giving this ticket to you. I know you've been tired recently. How about going to watch the show and relax? Gu Jianchi seemed to be afraid that Ji Shi would refuse, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, if I don't go, you go."

"..." Ji Shi hesitated.

"It's a new form of performance, immersive drama, don't you want to go and see it? And I heard that they are boldly recruiting newcomers this time, many of them are students from the film school next door to the theater, maybe you will meet the right one at that time newcomer."

I have to say that Gu Jianchi's remarks still moved Ji Shi very much, and Ji Shi finally agreed, but there was only one ticket for the drama that Secretary Park sent, and he secretly wondered if the other ticket was taken by Gu Jianchi. Jian Chi stayed, but Gu Jianchi couldn't say it, but in fact he would still come?
