Drama Guardian

It was eleven o'clock in the evening when the high-speed train arrived in Hangzhou East.

Chen Cai went up to the second floor from the station lobby, went to find a nearby hotel on Dongning Road, checked in, and contacted the company's Tai Zhuzi.

The mainstay of the company is called Mengyuan, who was originally from a talent show. Because of her low ranking and good looks, she was signed by the boss of their company. She doesn't sing, so she uses her face to shoot idol dramas.But after all, the company has limited resources and less investment, so the shoddy idol dramas are getting worse and worse, and the latter ones can't be sold.She turned to shoot ancient costumes again.

Up to now, Mengyuan has gained a bit of fame at any rate. It can't be compared with the first and second tiers, but she can also be a familiar face in costume dramas. Big boobs and no brains.

The relationship between Chen Cai and Mengyuan is very ordinary.The latter likes to put on airs and has a bad temper. He has changed three assistants within half a year.

Called two or three times, but no one answered Mengyuan.Chen Cai was a little worried, and was about to call a staff member of the film crew. Her assistant, Xiao Yun, replied anyway, telling them that they hadn't closed work yet, and they had to wait a little longer.

Chen Cai charged her phone, and took out the "face-changing diary" to record today's work.

Writing notes is one of Chen Cai's habits. Although the content on it looks like a ghost drawing, it is actually a huge amount of information, and it records all the work content of today by category.For example, what time and place did you meet today, what did the two sides talk about, what contract was signed, which clause needs special attention, and so on.

In addition, there are multiple pink sticky notes on the notebook, with the name of the person written on the note, and the corresponding page is the meeting time with this person, the person's clothing, talking habits, hobbies, and even the problems encountered recently.

These records are Chen Cai's sharp tool for maintaining interpersonal relationships, because he needs to keep in touch with these people, send blessings and gifts during the holidays, and find opportunities to solve problems for others and build closer relationships.

When Mengyuan called, Chen Caigang finished remembering the production director and director Wang Qi he met today, and noted that they were "state-owned enterprise cadre" and "middle-aged trendy man".Hearing the phone ringing, he hesitated for a moment, and put another "Lu Jianxing" sticker on the front.

When Mengyuan came up, she complained all the time, "Why haven't you come yet? I have been waiting for you all afternoon for nothing today."

Chen Cai closed the notebook and said, "I originally booked a plane for the afternoon, and I arrived at your place in the evening, but when I took Wang Chengjun to run the team in the afternoon, I got stuck in the road."

Mengyuan said angrily, "That big fool Wang Chengjun, what else can he do."

Chen Cai protected the calf and smiled: "At least I don't ask for leave, so I don't worry."

Mengyuan suddenly stopped talking.

Chen Cai closed her eyes, rubbed the center of her brows, and asked her, "How are you doing now?"

Meng Yuan snorted, "What can I do? I'm just finishing work now. The leading actors have already finished their meals and went to have a facial, so we're the only ones still here."

Chen Cai heard that her voice was unsteady from high to low, and she was a little puzzled: "Where are you?"

"On the way," Mengyuan's voice trembled, "Broken crew! I rented a homestay in the village, and the car I just went back couldn't fit, so I got us a broken electric car, and now Xiaoyun is riding with me... Ouch Slow down for me... you've knocked me to death."

Xiaoyun immediately apologized tremblingly.

Chen Cai was afraid that they would not be safe on the road, since there was nothing to talk about anyway, so she told Mengyuan to go back and report that she was safe. In addition, Xiaoyun's phone must be kept open so that she can contact her tomorrow.

After making arrangements here, he checked the backpack on the other side to make sure that the phone was charged, the charging bank was complete, the notebook was not missing, and there were digital cameras, artist resumes, etc., and then he took a hot bath and lay down.

-

Early the next morning, Chen Cai caught the earliest subway, ran to the South Bus Station, then transferred to the express bus, and rushed all the way to the film and television city without stopping.

He had the work permit given to him by Mengyuan's agent in his hand, and when he arrived at the place, he saw that the crew was busy filming, so he didn't bother him, so he turned around and went to a store to buy a few boxes of Red Bull, and ordered a dozen coffees. , and then returned to find the life producer of the crew.

The production producer was busy. When I saw a handsome guy looking for me, I thought it was an actor who had something to do. I didn't react until I saw the other party's work card.

Chen Cai smiled and said, "I'm Mengyuan's manager. I bought some Red Bull for everyone when I came to visit the class today. Brother Sun, do you think it's okay?"

Mengyuan's popularity in the crew is not very good, she looks like a hedgehog every day, Producer Sun didn't expect her manager to be soft, good-looking, and polite.But thinking about it again, it is this kind of dough-like personality that will be the manager of that woman, and she must be bullied to death.

He felt a little sympathetic to Chen Cai, and said with a smile, "It's fine, you've spent a lot of money." After speaking, he called out to two field workers, and then went to move things. also delivered.Those were for the director and the others. Chen Cai bought them and put them aside, then she stepped aside. Producer Sun arranged for someone to distribute them, and asked who bought them.

After a while, the scene of Mengyuan was over, and there was nothing for her to do later, so she ran out quickly, craned her neck to look around.When someone asked her who she was looking for, she ignored it, and when she saw Chen Cai's shadow, she happily ran over on her inner height.

The temperature has dropped across the country these past few days, the staff around are all wearing thin cotton clothes and thick coats, Mengyuan only wears an ancient costume made of two layers of tulle, which makes her shiver with her arms hugged in the cold.

Chen Cai asked in surprise, "Where's Xiaoyun? Put on your coat first."

Mengyuan snorted through her nose, "I don't know where I went, the girl is running around."

Chen Cai glanced at her, took off her coat and put it on her shoulders.He didn't wear much underneath, only a shirt. Now that the sleeves were rolled up, a layer of goose bumps immediately appeared on his exposed arms.

Mengyuan glanced at him in surprise: "What are you doing? Are you not afraid of the cold?"

Chen Cai's face was darkened, and she stretched out her arms to show her.

Mengyuan snorted: "Don't try to impress me, you are happy."

Chen Cai was stretching her neck to look for the assistant director, but she was taken aback when she heard this: "Why am I touching you? I'm here to do something for you right now, so you should beg me."

Mengyuan turned her face to stare at him, she couldn't say no, she was about to hit him with her hand.In fact, she was very happy in her heart, especially since Chen Cai bought the crew a drink out of her own pocket, which somewhat gave her some face.Her own agent would never do that.

Seeing this, another actress from the crew came over, looked at Chen Cai and said with a smile, "Hey, Miss Mengyuan, is your boyfriend? You're so considerate, and he's so handsome."

Mengyuan looks beautiful and thin, while this one is more pure and round, but they are about the same size.

Chen Cai paid a little attention, smiled at the person, and explained: "I am Mengyuan's manager."

The actress curled her lips with a smile: "I said, it doesn't match the temperament."

"That's right, my manager likes skinny people," Mengyuan said bluntly, "I'm beyond the standard, and yours is even worse."

Chen Cai: "..."

The actress turned green with anger, flung her sleeves and left.

Chen Cai saw the person walking away, and asked curiously, "You two don't have a good relationship?"

Mengyuan shook her head: "That's weird, every day I'm crushed by me in the play, I must be jealous to death."

"Take it easy too," Chen Cai couldn't help but said, "It's normal to have a bad temper or two, why don't other people like you? Don't always be like a hedgehog when you are alone in the crew, you are not a wrist, no one let you."

Mengyuan was still thinking that when he came, he would pour out his bitterness, whoever thought that he would be criticized for coming up, and his nose was crooked in anger.The favor of buying Red Bull is gone.

Chen Cai knew that her manager didn't like to offend people, so she treated her artists very well, so she just let it go, and taught, "I'll stay here for a few days to see, and find a chance to treat your crew to dinner." Fan. You should first reflect on what mistakes you have made in the past few days. At that time, it is time to apologize and apologize. Now the filming is only halfway through, and the company will take the opportunity to promote you in the second half. If the relationship between the crew is too tense, then Time to see who you cry to."

"It's just you who care too much," Mengyuan was suppressed by his reprimand, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Quickly ask me for leave, it's the right thing to do."

"I was about to ask you, what are you doing on leave?" Chen Cai asked, "Sick leave?"

Mengyuan faltered for a while: "Hmm...I feel sick to my stomach."

Chen Cai lowered her head and stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Then I will get three hours off first, and accompany you to see a doctor and get medicine, that should be enough."

"Three hours? Are you kidding me?" Mengyuan looked up at him incredulously, "I need you to come here for three hours?"

Chen Cai raised her eyebrows and looked at her silently.

"Can two days be enough?" Meng Yuan asked, "...If it's not possible, just one day."

Chen Cai turned to look at the phone.

Mengyuan gritted her teeth and took another step back: "Is it okay for half a day? Just half a day? I'll leave at noon and come back at night."

"Then you have to tell me what you are going to do?" Chen Cai looked at her and said, "I have to be responsible to you, and also to the crew. Don't try to fool me."

"...to see my boyfriend... oh no, it's his ex-boyfriend." Mengyuan lowered her head, her eyes were a little red, and she said in a bitter tone, "He just sent me a breakup text message a few days ago, so I wanted to meet him face to face. Ask clearly."

"!!" Chen Cai said in surprise, "Are you in a relationship???"

Mengyuan nodded.

"Does your agent know?"

"I don't know," Mengyuan said, "Anyway, she didn't ask, I was afraid of trouble, and the company would force me to break up if they found out, so I kept it a secret... I usually pay attention, and I don't have many fans anyway. .My boyfriend pays more attention than me..."

The more Chen Cai listened to this, the more wrong she became, and interrupted: "Is he also a member of the circle?"

Mengyuan was stunned for a moment, pursing her lips as a default.When Chen Cai asked who it was, she refused to say anything.

Chen Cai's first reaction was to scold her, but then she thought again, the girl was twenty years old when she signed the contract, she was young and beautiful, and the conditions were good, so there would be no boys chasing her.Although you have to pay attention to love affairs as an actor, you can't poke them over with one shot.

But the entertainment industry is no different than other industries. Generally speaking, it is not a good thing for an artist to fall in love.

Although Mengyuan is not yet a wrist, Chen Cai has to think about her future. If one day she becomes famous, will that mysterious boyfriend suddenly break the news?How is the character of the other party?Do you have pornographic photos in hand?Girls are always at a disadvantage in this kind of thing, and fortunately Mengyuan has always followed the coquettish and unrestrained route, otherwise, if this kind of thing gets involved with scum, it will be a ticking time bomb.

When he thought of this, he suddenly thought of Xu Huan.Although from a personal point of view, he did not like to see that person very much, but it must be said that for the manager, Xu Huan was so worry-free that he would automatically remove all obstacles.

Chen Cai was distracted for a while, sighed inwardly, and turned back to thinking about possible troubles in the future, how to prevent them before they happen, such as preserving evidence, or laying a foundation somewhere, it's okay if nothing happens, in case something happens in the future , can come up with self-protection or even counterattack.

Mengyuan still doesn't know what's going on inside Chen Cai's mind. Seeing him frowning slightly and staring at one place with dim eyes, as if annoyed and thinking about something, she couldn't help complaining: "Actors are human too, what are you doing?" You have to take care of so much, and you can’t even talk about love.”

Chen Cai came back to her senses and looked her over, but said nothing.

Mengyuan knew he had done something wrong, and thought he had to rely on Chen Cai for help, so he could only say: "And when the company signed me, we had already been friends for a year."

"Your manager is not me, I won't care too much," Chen Cai turned away, shook her head and said, "You are responsible for your future."

"It's fine, it's fine, it's already broken up anyway." Seeing that he didn't pursue it, Meng Yuan sighed, "Besides, he's the one who kicked me now, and he's much more popular than me."

Mengyuan firmly believed that she could ask that guy out, because he was also filming here, so she asked Chen Cai to take half a day off, and then she could just go to the hotel where he was staying.

There are only a few good hotels in the film and television city, Chen Cai did not expect that person to live in the most famous one.

From this point of view, that man must be at least a second-tier guy. To live in that kind of place, either he has money or the crew has money.He knew that he couldn't find anything out, so he had to wait until noon when everyone was resting, and went to the person in charge of the crew to ask for leave.

The person in charge listened to Chen Cai's explanation of his intention, but his attitude was very bad.

"Why do you have a lot of family affairs? You ask for leave every three days. There are so many people in the crew and hundreds of actors. If you ask today, I will ask you tomorrow. Do you still want to shoot?"

Chen Cai hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Didn't Mengyuan suffer from a stomachache? The little girl has been very cooperative when she joined the group. This is the first time she asked for leave. She went to see a doctor and get a bottle, and it took a day. I arrived Follow her at all times, and make sure to send her back on time, without delaying your announcement."

The person in charge just shook his head.

Chen Cai said again: "I'm also reluctant to ask for leave for her, but it's because I'm afraid of delaying the progress of the crew. Her time is worthless, but she has a lot of scenes with the lead actor, so if the progress is delayed due to illness ...The main actors are paid by the hour..."

"If something goes wrong with her, of course I have a solution," the person in charge said, "Don't do this with me, we will do what is written in the contract, nothing else is discussed."

After he finished speaking, he squeezed the Red Bull can in his hand, took out ten yuan from his pocket, and threw it into Chen Cai's arms like sending someone away, saying, "I'll give you the money for the drinks, and I won't take advantage of you."

No matter how good-tempered Chen Cai was, she was on fire right now, and she felt like cursing in her heart.He has come into contact with quite a few film crews, and although there are some who are difficult to speak, it is rare for them to speak so harshly.

He took a deep breath, and was about to put his hips on his hips, when he was hugged from behind unexpectedly.

Chen Cai was startled, and turned around to see that it was a coordinator she knew before.

The coordinator shouted excitedly, calling him: "Brother Chen, I just saw you! Why are you here!"

Chen Cai's expression was half brewing, but she was interrupted, unable to express her temper, so she explained helplessly.

The coordinator knew the person in charge very well, and immediately introduced with a smile: "This is Ah Zheng, my boyfriend. This is Brother Chen, I told you before, thanks to him taking me to the doctor that time, he is very kind."

The coordinator girl was in the "Old Street" crew before, and Chen Cai was going to visit Wang Chengjun's set, and happened to meet this girl with a cold and a fever, so she carried her to the clinic after the crew finished work, and watched over her for an infusion.Although the clinic was not far from the crew at the time, the little girl was very grateful for being taken care of by strangers when she was alone.

The two added WeChat, and occasionally they chatted very well, but they were usually busy with work, so they couldn't always contact each other.

Chen Cai and Ah Zheng looked at each other, both a little embarrassed.

Ah Zheng shook hands with him, smiled embarrassingly, and said, "I was a little angry just now, Brother Chen, don't mind."

Chen Cai hurriedly clasped her hands and passed the steps, "Where are you, you are serious and responsible, and I will treat you two to dinner when you have time."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and asking for leave is not a big deal now, the coordinator girl just happened to go back to the dormitory to pick up things, and she had a lot to talk to Chen Cai, so she simply pulled Chen Cai to work for herself and asked him to work in the small office outside. eMule.

The two walked and chatted.

The coordinator said: "You are Mengyuan's manager? She has been scolded a lot, she has a really big temper, she has quarreled with me several times for rehearsal, it's strange that Ah Zheng gave her a leave..."

Chen Cai heard from Mengyuan's agent that the production team's overall planning and rehearsal were unreasonable, and Mengyuan would often have a big night show and then a day and night show, without sleep for more than 30 hours in a row.Mengyuan felt overwhelmed, so she asked her agent to tell the crew, but the agent was afraid of offending people, so she made a fool of herself and left.

Unexpectedly, Mengyuan tore herself apart from the crew.

Chen Caixin wondered why this girl was so unpopular in the crew, but in the final analysis, it was because there was no backstage, Xiao Transparent had no human rights.

Of course, the little transparent manager...has no human rights.

Chen Cai smiled and apologized to others, and said: "...you see if this is okay, you will take care of her a little later, and I will be responsible for the trouble she caused you. When I go back, I will treat you to dinner. OK."

The coordinator gave a "yell" and said, "It's good enough for her!"

Chen Cai smiled wryly: "Is there anything I can do, if she wants to make a fuss, she will make a fuss about me. This time I got angry because of her, and I have a bag in my mouth."

"All right, all right," the coordinator was easy to speak, and seeing him lying low, he couldn't help but said, "It's really not easy for you."

Chen Cai didn't think it was easy for him, he believed that every penny you sowed you reaped this kind of chicken soup, and when you did good deeds and were taken care of by others, you would be full of happiness, but Lu Jianxing on the other side was not like this.

Lu Jianxing felt that it was extremely difficult for him.

He hated the director he met today very much. He was ugly, bald, had a bad temper, and had a bad mouth.Two years ago, the two had a bit of trouble. At that time, Lu Jianxing had just become the boss of the company, and when he got angry, he wanted to withdraw the capital and failed, so he had to hold back his breath secretly.Who would have thought that the old guy would still be daring to meet again two years later.

But this time Lu Jianxing couldn't bear it.

The director said to him: "I haven't seen you for two years, Mr. Lu's temperament is getting better and better, and he can be the number one card in our crew. You said that the water and soil in Jiangcheng are different. It's only been two years. Mr. Lu's temperament is getting better and better. It’s not the same as in the mountains.”

Lu Jianxing sat there drinking tea, greeted him impatiently, and immediately turned black when he heard this, and said slowly: "In terms of appearance, I have always been very grateful to my parents, especially my hair volume and good genes. Bald, don't worry about it since childhood."

The director is Mediterranean, and he has been taking care of the few hairs on his forehead carefully. He usually doesn't listen to words related to baldness.

Lu Jianxing used his power to bully others, and stepped on people where they hurt.

The two of them didn't let anyone else in the beginning, but they remained silent for the second half.

The secretary was originally responsible for reminding Lu Jianxing to talk about cooperation, but now he dares to mention it again. After the visit was completed, Lu Jianxing drove off with a dark face, and he drove out in a hurry, hoping that this person would relax and not delay the business .

The secretary persuaded: "Mr. Lu, don't be as knowledgeable as he is. He is like this. Talented people have a weird temper."

Lu Jianxing didn't listen: "Fuck him, I'm the father of his funder! If I get annoyed, I'll withdraw the money!"

The secretary kindly reminded: "Boss Lu, we don't invest much money... The film crew's father is someone else."

"..." Lu Jianxing froze for a moment, and then said with reason and evidence: "That's also his uncle, the patron!"

secretary:"……"

He's still angry now, but he drove here in the morning and didn't eat much, and his stomach started growling as soon as he finished speaking.

Hearing two noises, the secretary had an idea, and reminded him: "President Lu, what do you have for lunch? I heard that the Feinu Bamboo Forest Bird in that hotel is very good, and your favorite braised pork is also excellent. We haven't eaten yet!"

"What to eat? I won't go back after saying that." Lu Jianxing glanced at him displeasedly from the rearview mirror, and taught him, "But if you're hungry, just tell me, am I a person who doesn't understand my subordinates...Turn around , go to the hotel."

Secretary: "..." Although I'm used to it, I still feel so childish.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around when he suddenly heard Lu Jianxing say, "Wait!"

There is a figure in front, a man riding an electric scooter, with a woman in the back seat.

The man was talking and laughing while riding, turning his head from time to time, looking very handsome.

The secretary was a little surprised, and secretly looked at his boss in the rearview mirror.

Sure enough, Lu Jianxing seemed very interested, snorted and urged, "Give your foot the gas and go say hello."
