I won't give you a dime [entertainment circle]

Lin Cong came to audition for "Green Fruit" directed by Yun, because he was recommended by director He Qiu from the previous "Looking for the Moon", and he was the first in the audition order.

People waiting to audition for different roles outside filled the entire corridor. The staff held a long sign-in sheet in their hands. When Lin Cong was the first to call out Lin Cong's name, just as Lin Cong was about to get up, another person suddenly walked around the corner of the corridor. come over.

"Can you let me audition for the male lead first? I'm in a hurry."

The person who spoke was a man about the same age as Lin Cong, who was dressed in fashion, but there was an uncomfortable arrogance in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Lin Cong saw a photo of this person when he was on Weibo. It seemed that he was a relatively popular idol in a recent talent show, and he followed the route of a pure and kind brother next door.

The staff frowned: "Yanming?"

"Yes." After Yanming answered briefly, he was about to enter the audition room.

The staff stopped him: "You are the second male lead audition, there are only two people today, please wait for a while. Mr. Lin, you go in first, sorry."

During Lin Cong's audition, he saw a lot of scenes of tit-for-tat confrontation among newcomers. Compared with it, joining a team is considered gentle.

He smiled and didn't care, but Yan Ming stopped in front of him: "I'm really in a hurry."

"My time is also precious." Lin Cong withdrew the polite smile on his face - he didn't need to give such an unreasonable person any good looks.

At this moment, the door opened, Director Yun leaned against the door and glanced at the two of them.He was in his late thirties, with a pale complexion and exquisite facial features. People would believe him if he was a popular star. His bangs were a little long on his forehead, and he looked very cold.

"What happened? Who was the first?"

Yan Ming rushed to say: "I, I, I—"

Yun Yun didn't let him into the room, looked him up and down, frowned slightly: "You don't need to audition."

"why???"

"You are not suitable for this role." Yun Yun ignored Yan Ming's disbelief, and his tone was still very cold, "Don't think that you are recommended by Director He, so I will choose you. I look down on the actors who are forced to come over and expect to be appointed. Your appearance and reckless behavior only make me doubt his vision."

When Lin Cong heard this, he finally realized that Yunyun had misunderstood it only because he said he wanted to be the first audition: "Director Yun, Director He recommended me."

Yun Yun's indifferent face froze for a moment, then he looked at Lin Cong again, his eyes shone with a strange light.

Several people were awkwardly silent for a moment, and then Yun Yun's tone slowed down a bit: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say you were sorry, Director He has a good eye."

Lin Cong: "...?"

Yan Ming: "???"

Yan Ming's family background is good, and the company strongly supports him. He just entered the entertainment industry and went smoothly on the talent show. He has never been wronged like this, and he left without even saying hello.

Lin Cong had heard from Director He a long time ago that Director Yun has a strange temper and never bothered to consider other people's feelings when he spoke, but he is really talented and his status in the circle is still unquestionable.

Lin Cong met Shang Yun's indifferent eyes, and felt a little nervous unconsciously.

This tension continued after the performance of the audition was over.

Lin Cong adjusted his breathing and sat down. Yun Yun opposite him didn't speak, nor did he write in his notebook, but just rummaged through the backpack beside him.

There were only the director and him in the room, and Lin Cong's gaze unconsciously turned to the documents in the briefcase, most of which were scripts from the titles.

After searching for a long time, Yun Yun finally found a stack of thin documents and handed him a pen: "Contract, you go home and have a look, and we will find a suitable time to call your agent for a meeting to sign."

Lin Cong was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "We're about to sign a contract??? Isn't there someone else going to audition???"

"I think you are very pleasing to the eye, can't you?"

Lin Cong: "..."

It was the first time I heard someone speak so indifferently.

Lin Cong hurriedly sent text messages to Jing Qian and his assistant Liu Xiao.

Within half an hour, Fei Lang, who was on a business trip overseas, received a message from Liu Xiao on WeChat: [Brother Lin plans to sign a contract with Director Yun to play the leading role in "Green Fruit". 】

Han You was right next to him, and Fei Lang forwarded the news to the other party, saying, "Contact Director Yun to inject capital, and give Lin Cong double the salary."

Han You looked at the message on the phone and almost popped his eyes: "Boss, are you serious?"

Fei Lang glanced at him, and said in a flat tone, "Do it."

Han You wanted to cry but had no tears: "The investment structure of the film crew has been determined. We suddenly received funds from the sky. Although the producer will agree, but the dividends of a movie are limited, and the return that Director Yun can promise to us may not be comparable to other films. The investor who stepped in first. What's more, the contract was re-established for the leading actor, the remuneration price was doubled, and the money came from..."

"From my private account."

Han You swallowed the words "Our company will not agree": "You have discussed it with me before, and it will be unfair to other actors. Gossip spreads quickly in the entertainment circle, so it is better not to let Lin Mister has made enemies."

"After Lin Cong signs the contract, all the staff will be doubled."

"Ah???" He was completely confused by a series of weird behaviors of his boss.

In the past, Fei Lang was like a working machine. He had a weak relationship with his parents and relatives. He never even had a relationship. He even set up a bedroom next to the office for overtime work and overnight stay.

As a subordinate, Han You certainly hoped that he would be more humane, but now Fei Lang's humaneness suddenly seemed like a runaway wild horse.He actually wants to double all the remuneration in the contract for the leading role, supporting roles, and even the voice actors and the confirmed actors.

The actors would definitely agree, and it goes without saying that the time wasted. The money was deducted from private hands, and the company might not have any objections, but what is the purpose of this trip?

"Boss, although this is your private matter, I will follow your instructions, but as a bystander, I also have some suggestions and I hope you will listen to them."

Ferran stopped browsing the files.

Han You swallowed unconsciously.

After getting along for so long, Han You also knows that Fei Lang is much gentler than he looks, but he just doesn't know how to express himself.

Although Fei Lang is high above the others, he is very lonely. Sometimes they work overtime together and push into the office. Seeing that Fei Lang's office is bleak, only the desk lamp is left.Then with the sound of him opening the door, the voice-activated overhead light turned on, and he knew that Ferang had been working in silence for a long time, not even paying attention to such a dim light.

Han You was slightly older than Fei Lang, and looked very distressed.

The following words interfered with Fei Lang's personal feelings. If he couldn't say a word well, Fei Lang would silently take revenge, and his good days would come to an end.

But for Fei Lang's sake, he still wanted to speak.

He felt that he was simply a model subordinate who was not afraid of life and death.

"The way you express your concern is too roundabout. Mr. Lin can't feel it. Mr. Lin may not know about the help you helped him before. Now you want to help him financially. He will only be grateful to the production team, no Will appreciate you."

As expected, Fei Lang raised his head, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, and even anxiety.

"Doing good deeds is counted only when others see it." Han You said while observing Fei Lang's expression, "After all the care you have given, you still hope to get closer to him, right?"

Ferran fell into the usual silence.

He didn't want Lin Cong's self-esteem to be hurt by unconscious pity.

He wanted to help Lin Cong, but he absolutely didn't want to touch the pain of the other party, let alone give alms in the attitude of a high-ranking person.The only way to double the pay for everyone is to conceal one's true intentions and silently help Lin Cong.

If the double salary is not enough for Lin Cong to get through the difficulties, he will find another way.

"tell you later."

Han You breathed a sigh of relief - at least Fei Lang wasn't mad at him for meddling in his own business.

But Fei Lang was not at ease.

It was kind of him to introduce his driver's daughter to be Lin Cong's assistant.In this way, if Lin Cong encounters any serious troubles, he will be able to help.Just looking at the lengthy record of himself and Liu Xiao's work report, he suddenly became a little scared.

His behavior is caring at best, but surveillance at worst.If he doesn't explain anything, when Lin Cong finds out that he silently stares at the other person's daily life, will Lin Cong be moved or frightened?

Maybe he should be more direct, but he can't say it.

In the indifferent and broken family, no one taught him how to express his feelings.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask Liu Xiao again: 【How is he doing recently? 】

The other party replied in seconds: [Brother Lin hasn't contacted me much since he joined the filming group. The company asked me to travel with other artists during this period of time, and I will reply to you when I see him. 】

Before Fei Lang could get out of his emotions, Han You's voice brought him back to reality: "The two presidents of li seem to be dissatisfied with your relatively aggressive marketing strategy and brand positioning. They hope that the joint style will still be popular in li The light luxury route of some styles..."

Fei Lang gets a headache when he thinks about the president and his wife of the Lin family.

Fei Lang's overseas business trip this time was to discuss and decide the final strategy with Li's overseas branch and design team. As a result, Fei Lang and the Lin family had completely different ideas.

"Our brand is popular fashion, and the significance of co-branding is to break through the styles of the two parties. They co-brand with mass brands but still insist on the light luxury line, and new and old customers will not pay the bill."

Han You looked hesitant, and finally said: "Boss, judging from the other party's attitude at the last meeting, I don't think the Lin family may not understand these principles. It is because your attitude was a little tough last time that they Tit for tat."

Ferlang thought for a moment, but still insisted on his own thoughts: "Wait for them to compromise."

Han You: "... After all, they have had friendship with your grandfather. They are elders, seniors in the fashion industry, and talented designers. If you don't put on a calmer posture, it will make them target you more and more. .”

"I don't need to develop a personal relationship with them."

"..." Knowing Fei Lang's temper, Han You was completely speechless.

That night, Lin Cong received two messages.

One is from a parent: [We recently met a very annoying and arrogant partner, I would like to remind you that young people should not be too aggressive when they are building connections, do you hear me? 】

Lin Cong: "?"

Then director Yun added his WeChat: [The contract needs to be changed, and the film salary will be doubled for you. 】

Lin Cong: "???"
