you are vicious

There was a small fan meeting that day, and it was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night when it ended, Cheng Huan went backstage, his assistant wrapped his coat in his arms, and hurriedly followed behind, peeking at Cheng Huan's expression, he was careful not to speak.

Cheng Huan walked halfway, and suddenly asked, "Where is Zhao Mianren?"

Assistant Zhang Xiaocheng said honestly: "Mr. Zhao is already in the dressing room."

Cheng Huan didn't say a word, and there was an aura of "whoever annoys who will die" all over his body. When he reached the door of the dressing room, he raised his hand and pushed the door.

Zhao Mian, who was sitting in front of the makeup mirror and looking at his mobile phone, was startled, jumped up and stood up, turned his head and saw Cheng Huan, his facial features twisted awkwardly, and his eyes showed a little panic.

Zhang Xiaocheng was about to follow in, but was stopped by Cheng Huan: "Close the door."

The little assistant took only two steps to enter the door. Hearing this, he immediately touched the doorknob and closed the door for the two people in the dressing room graciously.

There was no one else, just Cheng Huan and Zhao Mian, but the atmosphere in the room was so cold that icicles fell, Zhao Mian suspected that if he stayed for two more hours, he would turn into frozen pork in the freezer.

He didn't know where to put his left hand, which had nothing to hold, and finally raised it, touched his nose embarrassingly, looked at Cheng Huan and said, "Well, you already know, the specific situation..."

Cheng Huan wore makeup on his face. After a busy night, he walked in a hurry just now, his forehead was covered with sweat.

He took two pieces of paper from the table at hand to wipe his forehead, walked to the sofa in the dressing room and sat down, raised his hand and pointed to the two idling pieces in front of him, raised his eyelids and glanced at the frozen pork whose legs were trembling at the moment , said unhurriedly: "Come on, don't worry, you can talk on your knees."

Zhao Mian was most afraid that Cheng Huan would talk to him in such a shady manner, and he was already guilty, but when Cheng Huan just blurted out the word "come", he wished he could kneel down on the spot when his knees gave way.

They are all upright old men. Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Mian to kneel down and review the mistakes of the brothers who worshiped him, but this time it is indeed his responsibility. Zhao Mian suddenly felt ashamed, sighed, and walked to Cheng Huan with his head down. In front of him, Emphasized that he was full of helplessness: "Cheng Huan, you help my buddy once, just this once, will it work?"

The last two words trembled.

Cheng Huan looked up at Zhao Mian, expressionless, the paper towel that he had just wiped off his sweat was pinched into a ball in his palm, he snorted softly: "Success? Is it? Mr. Zhao, you don't know how to write the word bankruptcy, Or do you think that a little artist like me is so good that I can save the world casually?"

Cheng Huan broke up the sarcasm word by word and threw it on Zhao Mian's face. After finishing speaking, he glanced and looked aside with an indifferent expression.

He also didn't expect that Zhao Mian, who usually does things very safely, would fall into such a mentally handicapped mess this time.

-

Cheng Huan has developed well in the past two years. Although he is not a traffic niche, but with no background and no resources, he has gone from an unknown [-]th line artist to a year-round artist with announcements, which is already quite good.

If you work hard to get more dramas, it is not impossible to get a little hit because of a certain role in the future. All in all, Cheng Huan's current career is also considered to be steadily rising.

However, in order to be more free and not be restricted by the terms of the company contract, Cheng Huan has not signed a brokerage contract for so many years, nor does he have his own broker. Now that he is busy with work, he hired a small assistant. Most of his work, except Check it out by yourself, it is Zhao Mian, a buddy who is helping to take care of it.

Whether it is popular or not, a brother is a brother. Back then, Cheng Huan played a role every day and Zhao Mian followed happily. He never disliked not being able to make money. Now Cheng Huan finally stands out from the top [-] artists and his career is on the right track. It is still Zhao Mian who is helping to take care of it.

Zhao Mian is sleek enough, smart enough, and smart enough to have a place in the entertainment industry. Half of the credit for Cheng Huan's steady rise in the past two years is due to Zhao Mian. The two are not only good friends, but also Still a business partner.

Not long ago, Zhao Mian and Cheng Huan co-founded a film and television entertainment company. They wanted to start with investing in small-cost online dramas. If it goes well, they will gradually transform into artist managers.

Because Cheng Huan had a lot of work due to the announcement, Zhao Mian basically took care of the company's affairs. They had a clear division of labor, one was in charge of behind-the-scenes management, and the other was in charge of appearing in front of the stage, and they cooperated tacitly.

But when the company was gradually getting on the right track, Zhao Mian didn't know who heard the wind, and he decided to finalize a project without discussing with Cheng Huan.

Zhao Mian thinks it is very beautiful, and thinks that if this project is successful, he will not only be able to make money, but also open up a film and television industry. In the future, he will cast TV dramas by himself. With more experience, he will enter the big screen market. Unfortunately, his dream has come true Within two months, Kang Dang was hit by the ruthless reality——

The project that Zhao Mian decided on himself was actually a small-cost web drama. Without his own script, he followed the trend to buy an IP. In the end, he spent money and bought the full copyright of a BL novel. It was only during the early preparations that he discovered a web drama with a niche theme. It's not as good as the legend says.

First of all, where does the money come from?

If other directors or companies want to make dramas, at least they have good scripts or good theme gimmicks to discuss with investors about getting money, but the scripts adapted by Zhao Mian’s IP are all male-female rivalries, and the entire main plot is very weak. .

Manager Zhao talked about the emotional script for two months, but he couldn't get half of the investors.

Without money, you can't make a movie. This is an unbreakable truth like an iron law. Zhao Mian can only pay for it by himself, and ask Cheng Huan to borrow money by the way.

But Cheng Huan didn't save any money at all, and he didn't spend much of his money on himself. It was all necessary. The partners worked together to find a way to shoot.

After such a pull, they found another film and television company that was also established recently - Feihong Entertainment.

Zhao Mian doesn't have much money, Feihong has a little money, but the funds Feihong can raise are not much in total. After throwing away all kinds of messy filming costs, the remaining money can't even hire [-]th-line Internet celebrities I can only find newcomers to play.

But Zhao Mian and Feihong are not stupid. If you go to the major video sites today, you will know that there are as many online dramas as there are cows, and there are a lot of them on the street. It is harder to become popular than to go to the sky.

But when the two companies get together, why should they use the courage to lose money to make an online drama that is not popular at all, or is it a BL theme?

Too much money to burn panic?

Putting the two together, newcomers can use it, but the leading role has to be somewhat famous.

Collaborator Fang Feihong directly threw this question to Zhao Mian, asking him to find a suitable starring role before starting the film, but Zhao Mian has been in the industry for so many years, how many artists can he know after counting?

Isn't Cheng Huan the most familiar one?

And Cheng Huan is indeed suitable to star in this online drama. First of all, Cheng Huan is a little famous and has fans, which will help their drama's promotion; In the end, Cheng Huan softened his heart, and Zhao Mian knew that with the relationship between the two of them, Zhao Mian would never leave him dead.

So Zhao Mian bit the bullet and went to find Cheng Huan, begging his grandpa to sue his grandma for Cheng Huan to take over the web drama.

But Cheng Huan directly refused at the beginning. He has been developing steadily in the TV drama circle for the past two years. Although there is no male lead and male lead to act in, he can still get a lot of male third characters who show up frequently. There is really no reason to "break through himself halfway through." "Transition to make a web drama.

What's more, it's still about men and women.

Furthermore, Cheng Huan really needs money. Before he was not popular, he worked very hard. After he became popular, he took more roles because of the money.He usually doesn't engage in dramas. If he takes over Zhao Mian's web drama, he has to set aside a schedule of one and a half to two months. If he doesn't make other announcements in these two months, he won't have any income in his pocket...

Any calculation is a loss-making business.

Cheng Huan has no so-called career and image planning. His starting point is lower than that of many artists, so he has been working hard in the circle for many years. He thinks very realistically, and he can make more money. Everything is ok.

Cheng Huan originally thought that if Zhao Mian's online drama lost money, it would be a big deal to find a way to cover the deficit. As long as he can still accept the drama, he will have income. one.

But Cheng Huan never expected that Zhao Mian got hurt so badly this time that his IQ was even lowered.

Zhao Mian signed a contract in order to attract Feihong to join in the filming of online dramas. The person in charge of Feihong was also a thief. Cheng Huan committed the crime, and they asked Zhao Mian to sign another bet - if Zhao Mian can't invite Cheng Huan to be the male lead, half of the shares in Zhao Mian's company will belong to Feihong.

Anyway, no matter what, Feihong is not at a loss.

Cheng Huan had already scolded Zhao Mian on the phone when he heard the news, but now they were facing each other, looking at Zhao Mian's frozen pork face, Cheng Huan couldn't get angry anymore.

He looked at Zhao Mian and asked speechlessly: "What did you think at the beginning? If you follow the trend, you will follow the trend. If you buy IP, you will buy IP. It's not like there are no other companies to buy BL, but when they buy it, there is a plot to delete the emotional line. You Why do you want to buy a love affair?"

Zhao Mian looked at Cheng Huan with a meaty face and remained silent.

Cheng Huan raised his eyelids, looked at Zhao Mian's face that was being scalded by boiling water, and glanced away speechlessly again, but it was impossible for him to really ignore Zhao Mian. Leaving aside the company, since Zhao Mian asked At this level, Cheng Huan couldn't choose to turn a blind eye - his life was pulled back from the water by Zhao Mian back then.

Forget it.

Cheng Huan frowned, but said in his mouth, "Send me the script tomorrow."

Zhao Mian widened his eyes in surprise as if he was about to receive an amnesty: "Brother, you are really my brother!"

Cheng Huan looked back, and gave Zhao Mian a warning look: "Don't be too happy, you only found one of the two leading men, and I can't play two roles by myself. You will be happy if you find another leading actor .”

Zhao Mian was like an overexcited fat fly, rubbing his hands, blushing with excitement, he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I know, don't worry about it, it is said that the starring role of Gong Feihong has been finalized." gone."

Cheng Huan's ears didn't finish Zhao Mian's words, and he stopped on the first four words of the last sentence - "Gong's leading role."

Cheng Huan was slightly taken aback, and reacted for a while: "Wait a minute, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Mian blurted out: "You play Chen Xiran."

Cheng Huan stared at Zhao Mian: "What is Gong called in the script?"

The protagonist's name, Zhao Mian, was familiar to him long ago, and he couldn't think of it right away: "Gong is Song Rin."

So he's playing Shou?

Cheng Huan: "..."
