put on a show

There was a lot of drinking and drinking at the dinner table. After eating for a while and drinking a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became quite lively.

Xing Pei felt that he might be thinking too much, and it was quite normal for Pei Qing to be with that Qu Lian, as if there was no shady secret.As soon as he felt relieved, he immediately realized that his prying suspicion was annoying, so he drank a glass of wine in a muffled voice.

Qu Lian stood up: "I'll go to the next door to see Deputy Director Lei and the others, you guys eat first." He pressed Pei Qinghuan's shoulder and confessed, "If you don't have enough food, order it." He also took care of the guests here for him.

The door closed behind him, Jiang Qin, the actor who played Lin Yixiao's mother in the play, asked Pei Qinghuan: "Ms. Qu used to say in interviews that he was able to become an actor because of the financial support from your family. Is that true? "

In the early years, Qu Lian was very popular for a while. At that time, when he talked about his career in acting, he would always mention the help from the Pei family in his interviews.Jiang Qin is an actor of their generation, and she is very familiar with both Pei Qinghuan and Qu Lian.

Hearing her question, Pei Qing was a little embarrassed: "At that time, he was my mother's student, and when he saw his students had difficulties, he would help them out."

"It's no wonder that your brothers and sisters are commensurate. After so many years, you can still maintain such a good relationship in the circle. It's rare." Someone sighed.

"Yes, Mr. Qu is also a kind and righteous person, and others would be reluctant to reveal this kind of past." Someone echoed.

"I have acted with Mr. Qu before. He is really a good person."

Except for Xing Pei, the other actors at this table were all older. Everyone chatted in a hurry, and it was inevitable that the older generation of actors who were not popular when they were young did not have a good future.Xing Pei had nothing to say. While eating, he stuffed his ears with intentional or unintentional complaints.

He secretly observed the people on the table, and saw Wang Yao, that duplicitous fat man, who might have been drinking a little too much. He was holding arms with the actor who played Lin Yixiao's father. When he heard the other party's complaints, he looked regretful and vowed that there would be more opportunities in the future. Support these powerful actors.

Xing Pei made two "tsk tsk" in his heart, he was just farting. He still remembered that in the last high-level meeting, this Fatty Wang strongly advocated using young and beautiful actors to quickly occupy the market, and carve up the share of the online platform at all costs.

At this time, Pei Qing tapped the wine glass with his chopsticks, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the table fell silent.

I saw him pause for a moment, he wanted to say something but he looked a little embarrassed, and with the encouragement from the eyes of the people at the table, he finally raised his wine glass and said: "It's hard for the older generation of actors now, and so is my brother Qu." , the current market environment..." His eyes swept across the table, "Everyone, Mr. Wang, Director Zhao." When his eyes passed by, he paused briefly on Xing Pei, but he still didn't call his name after all. , "If you have the opportunity, please support my senior brother, and we will tide over this difficulty together. I will do it first as a respect." He raised his head and swallowed a full glass of wine.

"Teacher Pei, please be polite."

"sure."

"We are all in the same boat, so we should help each other. Come on, let's do it too."

……

Surrounded by the sound of wine glasses clinking, Xing Pei also poured himself a glass of wine, his heart burned uncomfortably.

He comes to such occasions a lot. Networks are especially important in the entertainment circle, and opportunities are obtained through socializing most of the time.He has seen too many actors earning roles and screenwriters and producers earning investment to toast and laugh at people like pugs. He never imagined that Pei Qing would be like this, even though he frankly doesn't look like a pug.

What makes people even more frustrated is that Pei Qing is not for himself, but for his mediocre senior brother.A person like him who washes up and wants to put it in a Buddhist altar will actually make a toast and talk good things for others.

When Xing Pei's wine glass fell on the dining table, there was a "dong" sound. Everyone turned their heads to look at him, and the voice of chatting became quieter, but he stared at Pei Qinghuan with a fierce look on his face.Pei Qing also noticed his gaze, a little dazed and disapproving.

Xing Pei hooked the corners of his mouth, looking very arrogant, but what he said was: "Mr. Pei, the crew of "Moonlight Knife" is looking for actors. I am very familiar with their director Chen. If Mr. Qu is interested, I can send He recommends trying it out.”

Last night, Pei Qing chatted with Qu Lian in the middle of the night, most of them were movies and TV shows. When it came to career, Qu Lian also complained about his current situation. Almost half a year, no job at all.Pei Qing also felt very worried for him when he heard that Qu Lian was different from himself. Being an actor was his profession, his craft, and his food.

He knew that even if Qu Lian wanted to make himself familiar in front of people who could talk, he would not humbly beg anyone, especially if he was still in his own crew, it would be a disgrace to Pei Qing.So he had to bite the bullet and say these words for Qu Lian, whether it was useful or not, he had done his best.

At this time, he suddenly heard the opportunity come from the mouth of Xing Pei, a bastard, and thinking of their previous festivals, Pei Qing was still a little embarrassed. He knew that Xing Pei did it on purpose, even if he owed some favor to Director Chen I also want to be soft on myself.

Pei Qing also stood up, stretched his clothes, filled a glass of wine, carried it around the table, put Xing Pei's empty glass into his hand, filled the glass for him himself, and poured lightly on his glass. Touching it on the edge, a smile like a spring breeze on his face: "Then I will thank you for my brother, and I respect you for this glass of wine." After speaking, he raised his neck and drank it down.

Xing Pei didn't stand up, but looked up at Pei Qing's neck, which was still neatly tied up with a tie, as his throat kept rolling up and down as he swallowed the wine.

"Mr. Pei, don't talk about the word 'thank you' between us. You taught me acting and treated me well all the time. If you want to thank me, I thank you."

"Treat me well" he bit the words very hard, and after saying that, Xing Pei also raised his neck and swallowed the wine in one gulp.

Everyone present knew about the holidays between the two of them. This was not a way of saying thank you, it was so bright and obvious that even the spectators felt a little embarrassed.Wang Yao suddenly clapped his hands, "Good! Good!" Then everyone applauded inexplicably.

Wang Yao went on to say: "This is what we have to do in filming. We have become good friends outside the film, and we can have tension in the film. Am I right, Director Zhao?"

Zhao Yiru quickly took the words to Circus.

At this time Qu Lian came back, went to the two private rooms to toast, his face was two shades darker, and his footsteps were a little sloppy, Pei Qing hurriedly pulled a chair for him and helped him sit down.

Xing Pei raised his phone and shook it: "Director Chen replied, there are currently three roles suitable for Mr. Qu, and the information will be sent to Mr. Qu in a while, so Mr. Qu can choose a suitable audition."

Qu Lian was at a loss, he heard the popular little star opposite him mention his name, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Before Pei Qing could speak, Jiang Qin explained to him that Xing Pei greeted so and so and asked you to audition.After finishing speaking, he turned his head to compliment Xing Pei: "If you want to talk about efficiency, our hero is efficient. They all say that people are beautiful and kind. Are good-looking people so easy to talk to, and introduce me to a chance."

During the banquet, everyone was laughing, and Qu Lian became energetic when he heard the word "play trial", and he wanted to toast Xing Pei with a glass of wine no matter what.Xing Peike politely put the wine on his lips, and took the opportunity to add his WeChat.

He didn't have time to worry about why someone suddenly introduced him to a job, but he felt that he had been searching for half a year, but he was not as good as someone else said a word, and that he had spent half his life in vain.

Everyone at the banquet complimented Xing Pei, what looks good, his acting is also very promising, and he is upright and so on.He Xiaobao was not around today, so the task of blowing rainbow farts naturally fell on Wang Yao.

"Those people think that our family, A Pei, is a traffic star and a vase. They don't know us. Our A Pei's popularity is not only due to luck and operation, but also because he has his own vision and knows how to invest in himself. Ren is not only the first brother, but also the youngest shareholder of Tianbao's board of directors, and his words are more effective than me."

At first, Xing Pei's teeth became sour after listening to these greasy words. After listening to them for several years, he had already developed antibodies.

He said blankly: "Mr. Wang, everyone here is seniors in the industry. What are you talking about?"

"Okay, I won't talk anymore, I'm drunk," Wang Yao said haha, "Come on, let's go with our family, just do whatever you want."

What Wang Yao said was the truth.After Xing Pei signed in, Tianbao Entertainment quickly exited. When Xing Pei's three-year contract was about to expire, the company also took advantage of his strength to prepare for the IPO.At that time, Xing Pei was gaining momentum. He had plenty of capital to negotiate terms with the company. He used the next ten years to exchange about [-]% of the company's shares, and spent a large part of his savings to buy another [-]%.Although he is not the largest shareholder, with the [-] shares and his status as Tianbao's first brother, he still has some weight in the company.

The topic here revolved around Xing Pei, and Jiang Qin suddenly asked on the other side: "Teacher Qu, I heard that you and Zang Fang are together, is it true?"

Jiang Qin's voice was not loud, but the table suddenly became quiet.I don't know if it's a common human psychology to be interested in gossip, or it's because Qu Lian is the host today, at least to save face, everyone's eyes are on him, waiting for him to speak.

Except Pei Qing.

Pei Qing still lowered his head slightly, his thin lips were tightly pursed, one hand was clenched into a fist on the table, and the other hand was holding the wine that someone had just toasted.This glass is red wine, because the hands tremble a little, and the surface of the deep garnet-colored wine has ripples in circles.

In addition to Xing Pei.

Xing Pei looked at Pei Qing's expression that suddenly changed, and the feeling that he thought he was delusional at first gradually spread in his heart.

"Teacher Qu, is it true?" Jiang Qin was still pressing, "I've seen Zang Fang wearing a ring on her finger, and I've heard rumors about you two. Don't worry, people here are tight-lipped."

At this point, Qu Lian finally nodded: "Well, it's true, we're engaged."

"Boom!" The movement of the red wine glass on the table was a bit loud, some of the wine spilled onto the snow-white tablecloth, and it was immediately dyed deep red. Pei Qing was still blinking, and wiped in a panic with a tissue.

The people around didn't pay much attention to this little episode, they were still gossiping.

"Teacher Qu is really good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the engagement."

"When will you get married? You two are talented and beautiful, so get married early."

"She's busy recently, and the two TV series are connected." Qu Lian said quickly.

"Remember to invite us to a wedding wine when the time comes, everyone at the table will have a share."
