actor

After the crew finished work, Zhou Qier went back to the hotel room as usual to chat with Pei Jihang on Skype.

Pei Ji seems to have just taken a shower, his upper body is naked, and the lens is also a little white mist from the hot air.Pei Ji didn't care about it, and smiled while wiping his hair with a towel: "What's the matter, you look so absent-minded? Looking at my figure, brother, my imagination is running wild?"

Zhou Qi gave him a blank look, "You have such a big face. I was thinking about what happened during the day today."

When Pei Ji heard that he was thinking about Cui Menghua, he was a little unhappy at once, "Why do you think about that? I think it's two brothers competing with each other. How long has it been since Cui returned to China? There are enemies who are always targeting him with tricks? Very Obviously impossible." He waved his hand, held the mouse and showed a smile, "Didn't you say that you were recommended a new movie the day before yesterday, let's watch it together, anyway, today's work is over early."

Zhou Qierting shook his head, "It's because it's impossible, don't you think it's even more strange?"

As soon as Pei Ji heard that the topic of talking and going could not be separated from the surname Cui, he took a deep breath in annoyance, and frowned, "It seems that if there is no result from the discussion today, you can keep thinking about it, right?"

Zhou Qier lowered his head and raised his eyelids to make a gesture of looking up, and whispered: "Pei Ji?"

Pei Ji was defeated in an instant, "I'll play with you. I'm going to get goosebumps when I see your eyes, but I can't touch them. Can you do me a favor and stop teasing me? I will run to 316 in a while, you are not allowed to drive out."

Hearing that he succeeded, Zhou Qi didn't care what he was talking about, sat up straight and said, "You also said that Cui Menghua is not a person who makes enemies everywhere, and something like a problem with Wia sounds more like a low-level employee doing something wrong. , Cui Menghua doesn't play big names and doesn't embarrass the crew, where did the troubles come from? Don't you think it doesn't make sense?"

Leaning on the pillow on the bed, Pei Ji said leisurely: "At first I also thought that this matter was aimed at him, and later I also thought of going with you, thinking that this kid is not so unpopular, but... ..." He waved a finger, and said seriously, "I think this accident is aimed at him."

"Why? What did you guess?"

"It's not a guess, I think the cousin surnamed Cui is too suspicious. Think about it, if this matter is aimed at Cui Yicheng, how come he has a fever and asked for leave this time? So many times before Ya didn't have any accidents, so he has been acting as a stand-in honestly, this time when an accident happened, he slipped away, which was so obvious that I was ashamed to see it."

Zhou Qier retorted: "It's because it's too obvious, so I don't think it's related to him. I guessed this way before, but do you think Cui Yicheng's character would do such a sinister thing? He Basically, everyone who has been in contact with him since his debut knows that he is violent and irritable. If he has any emotions on his face, if he is unhappy with you, then show it directly. Yes, I can't think of such a troublesome idea."

Pei Ji also felt that it made sense, but he inevitably wanted to fight for himself a little more, and muttered, "It's also possible that someone else helped him think about it."

Zhou Qiting said helplessly: "Cui Menghua is his younger brother, why does he treat his relatives like this? What's more, he has no way out after being hidden by the company. It is Cui Menghua who gave him such a job as a substitute, and he is now able to survive Otherwise, with his resume and academic qualifications, would he have to move bricks?"

Pei Ji laughed, "It's not that miserable."

"You didn't do your homework just by looking at it." Zhou Qi heard, "Cui Yicheng was scouted to be a trainee directly after graduating from high school. He didn't continue his studies at all. It is estimated that he didn't want to go to college at all given his personality. Later he Falling out with the first employer, until he participated in the audition audition and set foot in the entertainment industry again, it took about a year. He has been doing odd jobs outside, as a waiter or courier, and has no serious work. You said if He was hidden in the snow and returned to the life of ordinary people again, what can he do?"

Pei Ji nodded half-knowingly, "Although the salary of a stand-in actor is not high, it is still more than those hourly workers, not to mention that the boss is from his own family... So, Cui Menghua actually helped him?"

Zhou Qiting shook his head again, "I can't say that completely. When Cui Yicheng had a conflict with the director of the crew, Cui Menghua had already made his debut and got involved in the front line. He has always made good friends. He had heard about it a long time ago, and he still had some status. His economic company at that time had a close relationship with Cui Yicheng's brokerage company, and he was regarded as a half partner. If he came forward to excuse Cui Yicheng, he might not be in the snow, at most he would be kicked out This crew, but Cui Yicheng's acting career can continue."

"In the end he didn't show up?" Pei Ji expected the follow-up, and sure enough when he saw Zhou Qiering, he pursed his lips and nodded in affirmation.Pei Jiruo said thoughtfully: "Actually, with Cui Yicheng's quality and temper, he may cause much trouble in the entertainment industry. Now that he is hidden in the snow, it is not a completely bad thing. But as a cousin Brother, Cui Menghua doesn't help his family at all, and anyone who puts it on him will definitely complain."

Zhou Qierting continued to say calmly: "Yeah, although there are no news reports in the follow-up, I can imagine that there must be some troubles in their family at that time. But even so, Cui Yicheng is still willing to accept Cui Menghua's help, to be an unpromising Do you think that if he thinks that Cui Menghua is really sorry for himself, he will be willing? Will he be a stand-in actor for three years? If he has complaints about Cui Menghua, he will not be his stand-in actor first, and secondly Wouldn't be willing to be unknown for three years. Do you think he will endure it for three years before starting revenge?"

Pei Ji was speechless, "But... I can't think of anyone who would single out Cui Menghua to deal with."

Zhou Qier listened seriously and said: "Pei Ji, today I asked Xiaojing to go to the props team to ask about the situation of Wia. Do you know what I asked?"

Pei Ji's key point is obviously not on the same line with him, "Why can you use my people!? And why didn't he explain to me at all!?"

Zhou Qi ignored him and continued his topic, "Xiaojing told me that according to the props team's explanation, if the misalignment of the big rope and the pulley was a little more serious, Cui Menghua would not just be thrown on the city wall. .He will be thrown directly out of the safety zone and fall on the unprotected concrete floor."

Pei Ji's brain froze for a moment, unable to react to what he said, "What do you mean? You mean... this accident should have been more serious?"

"I don't know. I just think there may be other secrets in this matter." Zhou Qierting said sincerely, "Cui Menghua is only slightly injured now, and he can recover after two days of recuperation. Do you think someone will be on the wire?" So much effort to do homework, but only in exchange for the consequences of a dislocation of the other party?"

Pei Ji just felt messed up and couldn't figure it out. He was just about to complain, but suddenly saw Zhou Qierting in the video who seemed to have heard something and left the camera.

"Listen, listen? What's wrong?"

Zhou Qierting appeared in front of the screen again, hurriedly said "someone is knocking on the door" and turned off the camera.

Pei Ji's heart skipped a beat, although it's not too late now, but it's getting dark anyway, who would come to Zhou Qi at this time to listen?If it was Lu Pin Xiaojing, there was absolutely no need for Zhou Qiting to turn off the camera and skype.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy, so he turned off the computer and got out of bed, quickly got dressed, walked out of the room, and went straight to 316.

When he reached the door, there was no movement in the corridor. He hesitated and knocked on the door, and the sound of opening the door was heard a moment later.

Zhou Qierting seemed to have anticipated seeing Pei Ji, sighed while staring at the man's awkward face, and said in a low voice, "I knew you would come, let's go in."

Pei Ji originally wanted to play a rogue with him, but the smiling face disappeared instantly after seeing the man sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room.

"Cui!? What are you doing here!"

Cui Menghua looked innocent, "Come and listen to the chat."

Pei Ji wanted to reprimand angrily, "Come on, can you call me that!", but Zhou Qier secretly pulled the hem of his clothes.

Zhou Qierting gave him an ambiguous look, "He's here to talk."

Pei Ji was obviously not appeased at all, "What are you talking about, he has nothing to talk to you about!"

Cui Menghua was not annoyed either, he held his chin and smiled and said, "Why, only you can come, and I can't?"

Pei Ji almost blurted out "nonsense", but was stopped by Zhou Qiting again.

"Didn't you understand? He's here for a heart-to-heart talk." Zhou Qier emphasized the word "heart-to-heart talk", "About Wia."

Pei Ji was slightly relieved when he heard this, but he was still very alert, "What are you looking for and listening to talk about?"

Cui Menghua hesitated to speak, but when Zhou Qi heard the complaint, he said: "It's okay, this person is a little unreliable, and his mouth is still very strict...and he already knows about the relationship between Cui Yicheng and you."

Cui Menghua was startled, picked up the water glass on the coffee table and took a sip, before speaking again.

"Actually... there's nothing to say, but I can't find anyone here who can talk about this matter, so I came to you abruptly." Cui Menghua rubbed his hands, "After all... this is also a family scandal. Bar."

Pei Ji snorted through his nose, "With such an uneasy relative, you really have a long way to go."

Zhou Qierting's hand that had been holding Pei Ji's arm secretly pinched harder, but Cui Menghua didn't mind, and instead smiled.

"He's really not reassuring."

Zhou Qierting sat beside him and asked, "Since he is so troublesome, why do you keep him by your side all the time? If you want to help him, there should be many ways."

Cui Menghua sighed helplessly, "Of course I also know that if I give him a sum of money to start a business on his own, or to open a store in partnership with others, I am also capable of doing this. But... my brother, he, Can't do those things."

Pei Ji hit the nail on the head, "He still wants to make a movie."

Cui Menghua nodded, "He has a bad temper, basically everyone in the crew he has worked with will comment like this, but... I don't know if you have watched the TV series and movies he acted in, but he is actually very hardworking, staying up late Memorizing lines, practicing expressions and movements in front of the mirror, looking for breakthroughs in the works of predecessors... I can see all of these. He is really devoted to the performance."

Zhou Qiting didn't question it, "I believe that if he can stand out in the audition audition, there will be merits."

Cui Menghua rubbed his temples, and said tiredly: "And... when he was hidden in the snow, I didn't come forward to help him in time. I am responsible for this matter."

Pei Ji interjected, "Then why didn't you help him back then? With your connections at that time, at least he wouldn't be reduced to the point of being banned."

"Of course I can help him." Cui Menghua's tone suddenly became a little eager, "But with his temper and the way he handles things, I'm really worried about letting him continue to be an actor. He's only just started his career. There was a turnaround, but there was a scandal of robbing women in a love triangle! Maybe he was unintentional. When we went to school together, he was always favored by girls. It was difficult not to get involved in this kind of thing, let alone him I’ve been having fun with it all the time! If I help him settle this time, what about the next time! What about the next time!? In the showbiz circle, there are so many beauties and beauties, who can guarantee that he will never make a mess of pornographic news again!? If he is famous and brings countless gossips at the same time, then the streets and alleys will know that Cui Yicheng’s private life is chaotic, *! What about his family? How can I help him then!? Buy all the magazines A newspaper!?"

Cui Menghua became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally he stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, "When the time comes, his reputation will be completely rotted, so what should we do... I'd rather him be an ordinary person who is a bit dissolute than he would do it." A star who became popular in the inland because of his relationship with men and women. The most important thing is... until then, who will judge his acting skills? His meaning as an actor will be completely meaningless by then."

Zhou Qierting stared at him, before he could speak for a while, "So...you chose to let him be completely hidden, and then become a stand-in actor that no one noticed?"

Cui Menghua put down his hands, and it seemed that his mood had returned to calm. Although his eyes were slightly red, there was no sign of tears.

"Yeah, that's how I helped him.

Pei Ji, however, was not affected by his heartfelt remarks at all, and calmly said: "That's not up to you to make the choice for him, he wants to be an actor himself, how can you stop him from doing so?"

Cui Menghua raised his head to look at him, and retorted: "But whether to help him or not is my choice."

Pei Ji sneered, "What do you think you are his? Savior? Are you his father or his mother? Even if he is really like what you said, it has nothing to do with you. Have you ever thought that maybe he would be happy? How about that? Don't you think you're taking too much control?"

Cui Menghua gritted his teeth, "He doesn't like that, I know."

Pei Ji replaced it with a sneer, "You know...you know shit."

Cui Menghua stared at him for a while, and gradually regained his composure, "Whatever you say, I always feel that you have opinions on me, and I don't want to argue with you."

"I don't want to waste my time with you yet," Pei Ji said aggressively, not to be outdone, "Then let me ask you, is Cui Yicheng happy now? Is he satisfied with your arrangement!?"

Cui Menghua said firmly: "He is very happy and satisfied now."

Pei Ji Wenyan waved his hands mockingly, as if he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

Zhou Qie sounded much softer in comparison, and said in a low voice: "This is your family business, and we have no right to interfere. I'm just curious about the matter of Wia..."

Cui Menghua shook his head gently when he heard the words, "I'm also confused, I can't figure out who this thing is aimed at."

"Not to you?"

"No. In my impression, no one has sinned against anyone in this crew."

Pei Ji interjected, "Maybe it's your cousin who did something good."

Cui Menghua immediately denied it, "It's not him. I talked to him."

Zhou Qierting immediately regained his spirits, "Have you talked to him? Did you talk to him this morning when you were on the set?"

"Yes. I asked him to get into the nanny's car and talked alone." Cui Menghua pondered for a moment, "He said he had no idea that this kind of thing would happen."

"But he said that day that he had a fever and stayed in bed, are you sure about that?" Zhou Qierting asked carefully.

Cui Menghua lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "You guys know a lot. Actually, he didn't get sick at all that day."

Hearing what he said, even Pei Ji sat up straight.

"He said that he didn't have a fever at all that day, he... slept until the afternoon. He didn't wake up at all."
