For the favor of Mr. Nie

Nie Zheng certainly didn't think that Tong Yan was really okay.

As the saying goes, Tong Yan is a person who wants to be strong by pushing more. It is reasonable for him to be overwhelmed like this and unable to swallow his breath. The attitude of nothing happened on the phone just now is obviously pretending.

Okay, Tong Yan feels bad, and if he doesn't want him to know, then he pretends not to know.

But for this kind of thing, a few words of reassurance are obviously not enough, and the words are not as good as the hard work. Soon, Nie Zheng called Zheng Zhaohua back.

To the insiders, Nie Zheng didn't need to talk nonsense.

He directly said the key point: "To keep him exposed, it is better to find some high-quality variety shows with a short recording time. Don't accept TV dramas that are too exhausting for him. As for what is best for him, you can talk to Mr. Gu discuss."

Zheng Zhaohua said, "All right."

Nie Zheng added: "Besides, instead of waiting for an opportunity, it's better to create it yourself. Before, he couldn't reach the level of tailor-made for him. Now, what do you think?"

This is reasonable, but creating opportunities also requires the sponsor to speak.Funder, literally, investor.

Zheng Zhaohua smiled: "Aren't I waiting for you to speak?"

OK, that's the right time.Nie Zheng's confession was concise and to the point: "Find a reliable screenwriter, a suitable director, and a reliable team. You need to make a budget first, and the sooner the better."

At this time, Zheng Zhaohua's advantages as an executive producer came to the fore, it was a tailor-made play for Tong Yan.And this play can't be shoddy, it has to be played well. Now the preparations start from scratch until the start of the production. The shortest time is seven or eight months, and the longest time is more than a year.

Zheng Zhaohua didn't dare to make any promises and said, "Okay, I will try my best."

After a brief silence, Nie Zheng's tone was quite sincere, "Please."

Zheng Zhaohua suddenly felt that he was the most responsible uncle in the world, whoever guarded his younger brother for several years, asked, who else?

After hanging up the phone, Nie Zheng frowned slightly, and said to the door, "Come in."

This is his bedroom, quaint and elegant enough, it seems no different from usual.But when the door opened and outsiders came in, Nie Zheng was still wearing a bathrobe uncharacteristically, with his left hand resting on the armrest of the seat, with a needle stuck in the back of his hand.

Looking up along the curved transparent infusion tube, the medicine bottle is hanging on the bracket beside him.

A nurse came in, pushing a medicine changing cart.

Nie Zheng opened the neckline of the bathrobe and took off half of it, revealing half of his strong body.

A thick bandage was wrapped around his left side. The nurse bent down and carefully removed the bandage, saying, "Mr. Nie, it will hurt a little, please bear with it."

Nie Zheng hummed, and frowned slightly when the wound was touched, and his expression remained calm.

The most dangerous time has passed. Three days ago, he experienced an assassination.

Sufficient benefits can turn people into devils, even killing people and setting fires.

The cause of this incident was a land reclamation project, and the huge benefits contained in it not only moved the most powerful competitor of the Zhao family, but also made the country's largest gang-related forces covet.

It is self-evident what kind of background the opponent is involved in.The person supported by the Zhao family and the person in the background were on opposite sides, and after several rounds of competition, the project was won by them.The group involved in gangsters became angry from embarrassment, and Nie Zheng was on his way to the press conference when he encountered the attack.

Fortunately, the people following him were vigilant enough and brave enough.In a real gunfight, one of Nie Zheng's bodyguards was sacrificed, and his arm was grazed by shrapnel, leaving bones visible.

This news is now temporarily closed to the outside world under the acquiescence of both parties.Just waiting for the storm of the decisive battle.

And in this chaotic country, various forces pull each other, and this is not the first time that the Zhao family has had such an incident.So this event was not unfamiliar to Nie Zheng, but the two years in China were mild and rainy.

Therefore, no matter how hard he worked or how comfortable he was, he hoped that Tong Yan would continue to be happy in the gentle wind and drizzle.

For a long time to come, he probably won't be able to go back and see him.

The nurse went out, and there were several short knocks on the door.

After Nie Zheng responded, the door was pushed open, and someone came to him and said, "Mr. Nie, Mr. He is here."

He straightened his clothes, went to the study, opened the door, "Len."

By the window, the tall and strong man turned around when he heard the sound, and looked at him with cold eyes, "You were injured, this time it was our fault."

The man's waist is unusually straight, his upper body is a casual T-shirt, and his lower body is military trousers. The trousers are tightly tucked into military boots, and he is dressed in line with his job.

It is impossible for a family like the Zhao family not to support some people.Most of the security personnel around Nie Zheng were carefully selected, and then they found professionals from the men and taught them through devil training.

There were injuries on his body, but Nie Zheng still walked steadily, "I won't talk about this today."

When the two sat down, Nie Zheng suddenly said, "There is a big deal, I wonder if you are interested?"

The man's eyes turned dark suddenly, "What kind of business?"

Nie Zheng said: "Two months later, there will be a big drug deal in the neighboring country. The government of the neighboring country also seems to have the intention of killing them. But it is not good for drug dealers to slip through the net."

The group of people who attacked him spent a lot of money to support their backers, and they made their fortunes by selling drugs. At present, the money for reclamation has not been made, and now they have been informed that they are going out to make big money, so the leader went there himself.There is no need to speak kind words to the devil. Now, these people can solve many things without returning.

In fact, Nie Zheng wasn't the only one who relied on a third party to make up the knife. There are some things that can't be done in a grand manner with limited efficiency, and it doesn't matter if your own army can't call them. There are also mercenaries.

As Nie Zheng expected, the man said, "Our rule is to only negotiate such deals with the government."

Nie Zheng said: "According to the rules, I am just a middleman."

The man left, followed by Mr. Zhao.

When Nie Zheng was attacked, Mr. Zhao had lingering fears. He stayed in Xinyuan these days, but lived in another small building.

Elder Zhao obviously knew who had been here, and asked, "Is it settled?"

Nie Zheng maintained his usual rigor, "He will make a decision after seeing people."

Mr. Zhao nodded: "It seems that the matter has been settled seven or eight times, and that's how it should be. When the gang of bastards are cut off and their vitality is severely injured, their master will clean them up. As for the remaining backbone, it's best not to leave one of them. Stay, this, let's do it ourselves, if the money can solve it, it's not a problem."

Nie Zheng was slightly taken aback. This action was clearly not due to their personal grievances, but his grandfather's attitude was to wipe out the roots, and even if the rest was left, he had to use money to solve it.What's this?Mr. Zhao wants to hire a killer?

In fact, it's normal. Even a businessman, in order to survive in such a complicated situation, would not be able to survive today if he was not decisive enough to kill them.

At this time, Mr. Zhao said apologetically, "I've hurt you."

Nie Zheng said, "Where?"

Mr. Zhao laughed jokingly, "Didn't you plan to go back a few days ago, and it's not convenient to go back now. You should be coaxed, and what should be compensated should be compensated. After all, you have someone by your side, so don't go back." As incomprehensible as ever."

Nie Zheng is equally serious in public and private, "Don't worry, I understand."

As for Tong Yan, who is in a distant country, although he will no longer take on TV dramas this year, he still wants to act in the ones he has already received.Fortunately, he doesn't have many roles in this one.It has been filming for a month, and the rest can be completed in one and a half months.

Tong Yan returned to the location the next day, and when he got on the plane, he felt dizzy, so he could only throw the script aside, close his eyes and go to sleep.Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do anything in this dull state.According to his instructions, Xiaotian called him in an hour, but Tong Yan didn't fall asleep at all.Very annoying, an hour wasted like this, and he didn't memorize a few lines from the script.

In the early morning of the next day, Tong Yan left Xiaotian in the car to talk to him while setting up the scene.

This time, he answered very fluently.Seeing this, Oda asked, "Brother Tong, did you stay up late last night? This is not good. Staying up all night hurts your body and brain."

Tong Yan was depressed for a while.Doesn't he know it's bad, more than one person in the circle died suddenly because of this, and his memory has obviously gone wrong in the past few months.But isn't this the end of the story?Doesn't he write it down at night when he is awake, and 12345 to people during the day?

He said impatiently, "Next paragraph." Stop the fucking bullshit, he doesn't have time for bullshit.

At this moment, someone under the car asked, "Is Tong Yan there?"

"Crack!——" Tong Yan slammed the script on the back of the seat forward, angrily, "Who?"

No matter who it is, if you come to disturb him when he is too busy, that is the enemy.

Oda was taken aback by his sudden attack, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and have a look."

Tong Yan took a few breaths, his anger seemed to be suppressed, and said, "It's Ye Linlang, let her in."

The last time Father Ye cooperated with them, he set up a trap for Zhong Cheng and reciprocated. Zheng Zhaohua really found a role for Ye Linlang in this play. Very good.

Oda went down, not for a while.Ye Linlang came up.

Seeing that his complexion was not very good, Ye Linlang asked, "Did you not rest yesterday?"

Tong Yan just wanted to make a long story short, "It's okay, do you have something to do?"

Ye Linlang said, "I'm here to say thank you."

A few days ago, Ye Linlang was caught talking harshly by the female supporting role of the crew, and Tong Yan happened to bump into it, and it was completely easy to save someone's anger by saying something.

That's not the point, Tong Yan didn't have time to listen to people's experience in entering the industry, so he said directly: "This is the way it is in this industry, step on the low and worship the high, she is not a big celebrity, but because she has something to do with the assistant director, she dares to be rude to you. Have you figured it out? Are you really going to hang around in this business?"

Ye Linlang said firmly: "Yes. It's a big deal. I don't care if others provoke me. I don't accept some rules, so I don't expect them to favor me. From now on, I will act in any drama I can receive. Willingly."

What a hut with a bamboo fence is self-satisfied...

Tong Yan just smiled, "As long as you are prepared."

Ye Linlang like this is really only suitable for his family members to be managers. Indifferent to fame and fortune sounds nice, but the boss of any company will have to worry about bumping into an artist who is indifferent to fame and fortune. There is enough desire to ascend.

After Tong Yan finished speaking, he waited for Ye Linlang to go down. He really didn't have the time to give chicken soup to someone as a life mentor.

But Ye Linlang didn't leave, she lowered her head and looked down for a moment, as if mustering up her courage, she asked, "Tong Yan, are you... still single?"

Tong Yan's eyelids twitched. His career is going down this year, and his peach blossoms seem to be particularly prosperous.

That's right, from middle school to now, maybe he still owes Ye Linlang a more explicit rejection. After a moment of silence, he said, "I have someone I like."

The high embankment built in my heart collapsed in an instant, and it turned out that it would not do much to say this sentence.He is still alive, the earth is still spinning, and the sun is still shining outside the window, although that brightness has faded.

After hearing this, Ye Linlang's face changed and her eyes turned red.He might have heard something, so he pursed his lips and asked, "Is it a man or a woman?"

Tong Yan was out of breath this time: "Man."

When Tong Yan got out of the car, the sun outside had turned scorching, but for a moment, his heart was strangely peaceful.

He bumped into Director Zheng head-on, and thought of the girl in the car who was crying so hard.Tong Yan said: "You recruited the person, now you go and appease him."

Zheng Zhaohua understood it as soon as he heard it, and laughed, "Are you really recruiting?"

Tong Yan was not in the mood to pay attention to the joke, and remembered another matter, turned around and said, "Can you not tell Mr. Nie everything? His is more messy than mine. Let's be more sensible, shall we?"

Zheng Zhaohua said: "All men have the problem of being weak. If you occasionally find him to show weakness, he may enjoy it in his heart."

Tong Yan didn't understand the logic, "Am I not a man? Is there something wrong with a real man who takes care of himself when something happens?"

Men have to take care of themselves when they encounter problems, so no matter how bad their condition is, Tong Yan returned to the city after finishing the filming this time, and went directly to Gutou.

As soon as he entered the door, he faced the reality openly and honestly, "Mr. Gu, my play is about to run out. This time, maybe, I really have to go back and do it again."

The old man talked with him for an afternoon, and finally said: "I suggest that you take a few small-produced films next, remove all the other fancy things, and only pursue the true qualities of the actors' performances, and slowly polish them."

Tong Yan relayed the original words to Zheng Zhaohua, Zheng Zhaohua had no objection, and even gave him a script right away, "Look at this, a small production, a film that follows the emotional line."

So, from November 2014 to July 2015, Tong Yan acted in two small-production films in succession.Because the investment in the film is not large, even if the shooting progress is delayed, Tong Yan himself can invest more. Therefore, in the past eight months, his pace of life has been much slower than before, his insomnia and headaches have improved slightly, and his condition seems to be a little better. Little by little I got it back.

In July 2015, Tong Yan returned to S City to appear on a variety show.

The night before, the rest time was limited, and when he was reading the desk book in the lounge, he couldn't hold on, so he dozed off for a while leaning against the back of the chair.

The nap didn't take long, and when he woke up, Oda wasn't there.

Tong Yan got up and went outside. Just as he opened the door, he heard someone whispering on the other side of the screen.

First, the man asked, "Isn't this program originally intended to invite Ji Qiuming? Why did it change to Jiang Lan?"

Then, a woman answered in a low voice, "I didn't intend to invite Ji Qiuming at first, but you haven't figured it out until now. If you invite Tong Yan, you can't invite Ji Qiuming."

The man said: "Ji Qiuming is very popular now, and his acting skills are rare, so why would he be rejected by the stage?"

The woman said: "What's good acting skills? A great background is the key. Can his small studio compare to Yun Xing behind Tong Yan?"

Tong Yan's mind was suddenly in a trance, and he retreated behind the door and laughed, tonight and Hexi, his power has to be overwhelmed, it is really happy and rare.

In July 2015, Ji Qiuming took home the Golden Park Award for Best Supporting Actor in Zhou Chengxuan's play, and his momentum has been rising all the way.

And at the beginning of the year, "I Love Myself" was released, Tong Yan didn't make a good splash, and some people in the industry even commented that he was exhausted.

Ji Qiuming was playing the lunatic's character design, and he used honesty as a selling point, which really poked a lot of people's cuteness.As a result, last year's drag and stampede incident became unintentional, not to mention, even Tong Yan himself was about to eat this brainwashing bag.

But even if Ji Qiuming is cleansed, the fans on both sides are still opposite.

This night, Tong Yan boarded the trumpet that he hadn't played for half a year, and read the record of the fight between the two sides.

Ji Qiuming's fans are like this: "Hold on to your variety show idol idol and go cheer yourself up, our obvious trophy, even TY's flattery can't catch up.

"TY's acting skills dare to rub off on the enthusiasm of old feelings. I'm afraid that this kind of resource is withdrawn by the financial backer behind him? He's still an acting school, don't brag, it hurts for you."

Tong Yan's fans stubbornly resisted:

"Pull it down, remember, whether the movie is popular or not, it's because of your Sun and Moon's hot-eyed looks."

Tong Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly clicked back to his own homepage, and a familiar ID immediately jumped into his eyes.

The owner of this ID used to be his fan, because he thought the little girl's words were interesting, so he used the trumpet to attract people's attention.The photo on the little girl's Weibo was a bit eye-catching, Tong Yan clicked on it, and this person posted a Weibo at the beginning of the year, saying that he was tired of fighting and decided not to pursue stars anymore.And from a month later, until now, every Weibo of the little girl is a picture of Ji Qiuming...

Really, it's not what it used to be.That night, Tong Yan suffered from insomnia again.

At this point in October, Nie Zheng finally got rid of the troubles entangled in him.Another month in advance to arrange the itinerary, this time, he has two days to go back to China to see Tong Yan.

Tong Yan had just finished filming the scene in hand, and happened to be staying in S City as well.The rest day didn't come easily, so he went to see Mrs. Xia.

Since Nie Zheng left, he would go to the old lady's place when he had free time, and there was always something or someone to prove that his connection with Nie Zheng was still close, and no one could replace it.

Today, the weather is very good, sunny and warm in late autumn and early winter.

The old lady Xia is not as energetic as before, and the housework can only be done by the person who takes care of her. She lies in the yard and basks in the sun, and talks to Tong Yan for a while.

Tong Yan thought of something he had been afraid to ask, and said, "At that time, how did you manage to let Mr. Zhao take Nie Zheng back?"

The old lady Xia tilted her head on the back of the recliner, her eyes squinted, "I can't stand it. Nie Zheng's mother used him to lure his father home. If his father didn't come back, the woman would vent her anger on Nie Zheng. Nie Zheng At that time, he was so young that he was only as high as my thigh, and he didn’t speak or cry when his mother took the cane. No, he usually didn’t like to make a sound. At that time, we all thought he had a language barrier. If this continues, this The child is ruined, but his father doesn't care."

Tong Yan's heart twisted.

The old lady said again: "I begged the Nie family, but his grandparents are gone, there are only two uncles left, and they don't like to interfere in the younger brother's family affairs. It just so happened that Mr. Zhao came. The day before Mr. Zhao came In the evening, Nie Zheng stood in the snow for several hours, and he had a fever that day, so I wrapped him in a blanket, carried him to Mr. Zhao, and lifted his clothes to let Mr. Zhao see the child's injuries."

The old lady's eyelids became heavier and her voice became lower and lower, "I cried and said, Mr. Zhao, if you don't take him away, this child will not be able to live... Now, thinking about it... this is... I This is the best thing I've ever done in my life."

These were the last words that Mrs. Xia said.

Nie Zheng received the news of the old lady's death before the plane took off.It hurts, but it's not surprising. In the past two years, the old man's various physiological functions have been declining. Birth, old age, sickness and death are fates that no one can escape.

But he didn't expect that it would be Tong Yan who would send the old man to his death.

The people he arranged around the old lady were well prepared for everything in front of them, and they handled things efficiently. When the plane landed, Nie Zheng went directly to the funeral home with his entourage.

The mourning hall has been set up, and when Nie Zheng entered the door, he saw Tong Yan sitting on a chair on one side, his eyes fixed on a corner of the coffin in a daze.

The melody of mourning and music was not only solemn but also sad, and Nie Zheng's heart sank to the bottom.But after Tong Yan noticed his arrival, he got up and called out to Mr. Nie, looking at Tong Yan's pale face, he heard his own voice, "Don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid, how could you not be afraid, Tong Yan saw a life end before his own eyes.

Tong Yan's peach-blossom eyes were full of red blood, and the sadness and tiredness between his brows could be seen at a glance.Except for that sentence, don't be afraid, Nie Zheng didn't make any other sound for a long time.

People and people, there is no intimacy born out of thin air. They have known each other for a long time, but Tong Yan's existence interspersed with many turning points in his life, like a chain, deeply involved in the texture of his lifeline.

Inseparable, Nie Zheng thought, this is really inseparable.Otherwise, he doesn't know what mood to look back on, this period of his own life.
