First Actor [Rebirth]

Because it was still early, Liu Xiangxiong sent Lu Yang back to Dijing County directly.

Although she called and chatted with him every two days, Aunt Zhang hadn't seen Lu Yang in person for more than a month. She was so happy now, she patted his arm lightly and said repeatedly: "Thinner, thinner."

When he first joined the group, Lu Yang's weight did continue to drop, but later he recovered due to various urgings. Compared with when he first left Dijing County, there is actually not much difference.

However, the elders think you are cold, and the elders think you are thin. There is always their own unique judgment standard. The younger generation has no other choice but to ensure that they must eat well and wear more thick clothes.

Lu Yang was no exception, he took the soup brought by Aunt Zhang with a smile, and drank a large bowl as soon as he entered the door.

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was busy preparing dinner, Lu Yang decided to stay at home to eat, so he sent a message to Zong Zhenghai.

At this time, a crisp bell sounded from far to near, accompanied by a little furry figure, entered Lu Yang's eyes.

Still familiar with the "smiling face" and the familiar butt, the little Corgi swayed around Lu Yang's feet twice, and began to paw his legs with his front paws.

Seeing Lu Yang squatting down, he immediately lay down, revealing his fluffy belly, as if begging to be stroked.

Lu Yang didn't disappoint him, he used both hands when one hand wasn't enough.

Rubbing the belly, rubbing the little head, pinching the little paws by the way, rubbing the little guy to and fro, so unhappy.

After playing around for a while, Lu Yang picked it up and weighed it carefully: "Heibei, you are heavy again."

"Aww!" Little Corgi was still very sensitive about weight matters, and immediately "refuted" his master's words.

Aunt Zhang heard it and defended it: "It's just grown up, not fat." The family pays close attention to Corgi's weight changes, and strictly controls the diet and ensures the amount of exercise according to the veterinarian's requirements.

Just joking with the little guy, Lu Yang stroked its back and hair, and then carried it out of the kitchen: "We won't disturb Aunt Zhang's cooking, go to the living room."

Sitting on the familiar sofa and seeing the carpet changed, Lu Yang finally felt that he hadn't been back for a long time.

When he was alone in the past, the dormitory was just a place to live and a place to sleep, but the crew was his home instead.

But the situation is different now, the crew is home, and here is also...

Little Corgi has been around for almost five months, because the male master of the family is often away, even if he is, he will not take care of it, and Aunt Zhang "dotes on" him, almost becoming a tyrant in the patriarchal government.

Its sphere of influence has expanded from its own room in the past to a corner of the living room, until now, the entire living room plus the yard has become its territory.

A toy can be seen at intervals on the rug—often reappearing as soon as the housekeeping is done.

Aunt Zhang has already compromised with it. Apart from the study and bedroom of the master, there is no place where it cannot go casually.

If it weren't for the summer, the double-coated Corgi would still be having fun in the yard.

Before Lu Yang arrived home, little Corgi was playing with his new toy ball.

After Lu Yang got home, he naturally lost interest in playing with toys by himself (the dog), so he happily put the newly acquired toys, large and small, or bit them, and piled them one by one at Lu Yang's feet.

The little guy rubbed his head back and forth on the toy, peeking at Lu Yang's expression from time to time, the little guy seemed to want to use this to judge which one he liked.

Lu Yang was not at home for more than a month, and wanted to make up for his black back, so he immediately picked up one of the toys in a good-tempered manner and started playing with little Corgi.

So when Zong Zhenghai received Lu Yang's text message and returned to Dijing County from the company, he saw that Lu Yang couldn't resist dismantling two new toys for little Corgi.

In fact, since Lu Yang got a job and started to make money by himself, and he also received a scholarship from the school, he is not as cautious about spending money as he was in the past few months.

But he lived and ate in Dijing County, and later went to the production team. Apart from buying gifts for Aunt Zhang and treating everyone to some cold drinks on the production team, there really wasn't much he could spend money on.

Yang Si's parents raised a teddy named Shuai Shuai, and when Lu Yang chatted with her, he would occasionally communicate with her, and then they would order some unavailable products online together, euphemistically called "combining orders is more favorable". .

Zong Zhenghai watched the little Corgi hiding under his cushion, showing his head from time to time to play "peek-a-boo" with Lu Yang. Lu Yang smiled as if he was very happy, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

But then I thought that I would not see each other in the next few days, and I felt a little melancholy in my heart.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

During the meal, Aunt Zhang muttered, "It would be great if Ah Yang didn't have to work these two days, otherwise he can go back to the imperial capital with us."

Lu Yang looked at Aunt Zhang with some puzzlement.

"Xixi and Haohao celebrate their birthdays on the [-]st. We usually go to the imperial capital at this time and stay for a week before returning." Aunt Zhang didn't expect that Zong Zhenghai hadn't told Lu Yang about this, so she explained to him.

Zongzhengxi and Zongzhenghao are twins of Zongzhenghai's younger brother. They will be four years old in August this year, and they are lively and lovely.

As the saying goes, hold grandchildren but not sons, Zong Tian's patriarch, Mr. Zong Zhenghong, has always been extremely strict with his two sons, but he can't be cruel to his cute little grandson at all.

The whole family regards the twins as eyeballs, wishing they could pluck the stars and the moon for them.

"My family is busy, so I would like to take this opportunity to get together." Zong Zhenghai said.

Zongzheng Hong sits in the imperial capital all the year round, assisted by his second son Zongzheng Yu. Zongzhenghai is in charge of the family's affairs in the coastal areas. Zongzhenghong also has a younger brother who is currently in charge of overseas projects and has not returned to China.

Because the whole family is very busy, it is rare to meet each other, so Zongzheng Hai’s grandfather made a rule that every specific festival, anniversary and birthday of family members, no matter where they are, they should take time to go home.

Zongzhenghai wanted to tell Lu Yang after he had finished shooting the magazine, lest he remember that he could not see each other for a week, which would affect his mood.

Lu Yang also understood Zongzhenghai's thoughts, and he immediately said: "Then why are you leaving? I have to hurry up and prepare a birthday present!"

"Leave at noon the day after tomorrow."

"So fast?!" Lu Yang thought about it carefully, the baby's birthday is on the [-]st, and it's normal for them to leave early on the [-]th: "Then I'll go shopping today."

"Don't worry, I've already prepared the gift for you."

Zongzheng Hai patted the back of his hand and signaled him to eat first: "My family celebrates their birthdays, gifts are second, and the main thing is the heart. When the time comes, you can call them and you will know each other."

When the twins were mentioned, Aunt Zhang was a little excited, and described the interesting life of the two little guys to Lu Yang with great interest.

Lu Yang had seen their photos, and a pair of pink and jade-carved babies appeared in his mind, and he could understand Aunt Zhang's elder mentality of "Xixihaohao is the cutest in the universe".

After dinner, and bid farewell to Aunt Zhang at the porch, Liu Xiangxiong was going to drive Lu Yang to Boya to pick up Xiao Song and return to the set together.

Seeing the little Corgi hugging his feet, Lu Yang couldn't help saying: "You are not at home in the next few days, why don't you let Heibei follow me to the set, and talk to the people in the hotel, it should be accommodating."

Zong Zhenghai thought for a while, and then advised him: "The pets are not free when they are on the set, and can only stay in the hotel. It is better to stay at home, have a special person in charge, and can move around."

Thinking about Heibei staying alone in a hotel and in a cage, it's really pitiful, not as comfortable as at home.

Lu Yang could only pick it up and pet it, promising to buy a new flying saucer for it when he returned home.

Because they were going to Boya first, Zongzheng Hai didn't follow them into the car.

After persuading Aunt Zhang to go back to the house, he quickly stepped forward to hug Lu Yang, and kissed him lightly on the lips.

It was getting dark late in summer, and there was still light at this time, Zong Zhenghai could see that Lu Yang's ears turned red suddenly.He couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Lu Yang's lips again: "Call me when we arrive."

Lu Yang was repeatedly "sneak-attacked" and stuttered: "Okay...okay..."

Zongzhenghai looked at Lu Yang deeply, and felt that he was already very reluctant to part with him before they separated.

——I won’t see you for another week, you can imagine how difficult it will be.Sometimes I really wish I could take Lu Yang with me, so that I can see and touch him at any time...

"We can call... I have to call Xixi and Haohao..." Lu Yang was also in the same mood at this time, but when he thought of the reunion after parting, he felt less lost, so he tried his best to cheer up .

Zong Zhenghai reached out to touch his side face, and kissed him again: "Yes, you can call, and you still have to read the script to me."

"Did you read it even after you went to the imperial capital?" That's a domestic long-distance call!

"I want to hear your voice, just talk to me."

Zongzhenghai's voice reached Lu Yang's ears, as if there was heat - he felt that his face seemed to be getting hotter.

Only then did he remember that Liu Xiangxiong was still waiting for him in the car, so he hurriedly said, "Then...then I'm leaving!"

"Well, let's go." Zong Zhenghai finally let go of his hand and watched Lu Yang get into the car.

This time I did not bring Lu Yang back to the imperial capital, on the one hand, because the other party has a job in the film crew, so he cannot travel freely;

On the one hand, it was also because Zongzhenghai planned to talk to his father Zongzhenghong alone.

——Before facing certain difficulties together, he still needs to make some preparations to clear the obstacles for their future... I hope that next time, he can return to the imperial capital with Lu Yang!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Little did he know that Zongzhenghai had a plan to gradually "showdown" with his father, Lu Yang returned to the film crew and received a "warm" welcome from his friends.

In order to thank everyone, Lu Yang very consciously asked Xiao Song and Liu Xiangxiong to order desserts for afternoon tea for the crew.

"Oh my God, I'm so envious that you can go out and let the wind go, the baby is almost tired and faint." Yang Si slumped in his marching chair, at least wearing disposable gloves when eating cake, otherwise the image of a goddess would have disappeared.

"A Yang is not going out to play, he is also working," Tan Jingchuan defended Lu Yang after hearing Yang Si's words, "You are tired and dizzy, why don't you take the time to rest and play some games?"

Yang Si curled her lips: "Playing games is my rest, and it doesn't waste my brain, why can't I play! Tsk tsk, uncle like you doesn't understand the life of young people at all... don't you, Lu Yang?"

"Eh?!" Lu Yang didn't expect the "fire of war" to come to him all of a sudden, and was caught off guard by the question.

Yang thought about it, and felt that he asked the wrong person: "Well, your free life is more boring than Tan Jingchuan."

When Lu Yang was waiting for a play, he either read the script and recited his lines, or read the professional books in school, or watched movies on the tablet, and kept his mobile phone beside him without even glancing at him.

Yang Si didn't intend to continue this topic, so he asked while eating: "There are too many scenes this morning, so I didn't have time to ask, how did your magazine shoot yesterday go? Who is there?"

Lu Yang signed the agreement, and the photos cannot be shown to others, but the general situation can still be described.

Tan Jingchuan frowned slightly when he heard that he got along well with Zhou Yi from Zhuxing.

——Zhuxing?The vibe there is not very good...

Unlike Yang Si's Ledu Pictures, which focuses on cultivating actors, Zhou Yi's Zhuxing Entertainment, like Lu Yang's Boya Media, has artists from multiple fields.

Actors, singers, models, hosts, and special dance groups.

A person in charge of Tan Jingchuan's personal studio jumped out from Zhuxing.

She once mentioned to Tan Jingchuan that the situation inside Zhuxing is very complicated and the competition is also very large.

Zhuxing's scouts are very efficient, and can be said to be the most efficient team among several large companies, so almost every day new recruits come to Zhuxing Entertainment for interviews.

But it's hard to say whether these newcomers will succeed in the end.

No matter how big and powerful a company is, the resources at hand are not endless. If there are too many artists, it is inevitable that they will not be able to cover everything. Therefore, some people often have too many opportunities to rest, and some people cannot even maintain their basic life.

Tan Jingchuan felt that the artists in Zhuxing Entertainment would probably have to work very hard all the time.

Waiting hard before becoming famous, I don’t know when my dream will come true;

After becoming famous, they will be "exploited" by the company, because Zhuxing can't wait to squeeze out every penny of their value.

Competition and pressure are sometimes good things, which can promote people's continuous improvement and stimulate their potential.

But sometimes, they are also like Pandora's box, which releases the desires that have been suppressed, accompanied by shady methods and conspiracies.

If you don't fight or grab, what you are waiting for is wasted years and the long-term desire for success, no one will be reconciled, and it is natural to have other ideas.

This "mechanism" exists not only among artists, but also among the staff of Zhuxing.

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.

This seems very fair.The eight characters that are in line with the law of evolution are full of helplessness and pain in real life.

The person in charge of Tan Jingchuan's studio resolutely gave up his high-paying job and joined Tan Jingchuan's studio because he couldn't stand the gradually distorted environment, preferring to start over.

……

Now that Lu Yang mentioned the artists who built stars, Tan Jingchuan couldn't help but think of some rumors he had heard.

But he didn't want to generalize and look at all the artists of Zhuxing with colored glasses, and there is no fixed way of survival in the entertainment industry, so Tan Jingchuan didn't talk about Zhuxing everywhere.

But it was time to remind Lu Yang, he still considered it and opened his mouth.

"Of course it's good that the filming went well, but as you said, the person from the same company as Zhou Yi may not be too happy if he encounters something. Observe, don't be in a hurry to make friends."

Lu Yang understood Tan Jingchuan's meaning. In fact, his managers Wang Youlan and Zong Zhenghai also expressed similar meanings to him.

Although he has a good impression of Zhou Yi, if Jiang Ke is involved, he is not willing to take care of it.

Seeing that Lu Yang nodded and accepted his opinion, Tan Jingchuan was very happy.

In order to make the topic easier, he took the initiative to say: "When the magazine is on the shelves, I will definitely buy it and have a look."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It was after four o'clock in the afternoon when Zong Zhenghai arrived at the Zong government in the imperial capital.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw two babies dressed in exactly the same way flying over and hugging Zongzheng Hai's legs accurately.

Running wildly with them, there is also a Welsh Corgi that looks almost [-]% like the black back of Dijing County, but obviously much bigger.

"Uncle, Uncle, do you miss me? I miss you so much!"

"Uncle, Haohao grows taller, next year he will be as tall as Uncle!"

One of the little guys held his head up hard, as if he was observing the height difference between himself and Zongzhenghai, so as to judge whether his wish of "being as tall as Zongzhenghai next year" was possible to come true.

As soon as Zong Zhenghai picked up the two babies, before he could speak, he was sucked by one left and one right mouth respectively.

The short-legged corgi circled Zongzhenghai twice, and kept coming forward to smell him.

Yi Jia hurriedly followed them, and said to Zongzheng Hai with an apologetic face, "Uncle is back."

Then he turned his head and reasoned with his son: "You two are too heavy, come down quickly, don't tire your uncle!"

The little baby's eyes widened immediately, and he scrambled to "argument": "It's not heavy! It's not heavy at all!"

As if to prove that she is not fat or heavy, Xixi simply lifted up her little T-shirt, revealing her white and tender belly, and said in a serious and solemn tone, "I have a waist!"

At this time Zong Zhengyu also came out, and said helplessly: "My son, don't be ashamed, this little fat belly is still waist."

The two little guys were beaten repeatedly by their parents, and they were immediately wronged. They hugged Zongzheng Hai's neck and did not let go, crying, how pitiful it sounded.

Zongzheng Yu & Yi Jia: "..."

——These two little bastards pretended to be real, and those who didn't know thought they were abusing their son!

Zong Zhenghai weighed the little guy up, and said in a flat but firm tone: "It's not heavy at all." It seemed to be responding to the twins' "self-defense" just now.

Zong Zhengyu has a good relationship with his eldest brother, and he dares to joke, but he will not refute his meaning in person; Yi Jia is a little in awe of this unsmiling uncle, so naturally he dare not speak.

Xixi and Haohao felt that their parents were vulnerable in front of their "backer", and suddenly regained their energy.

They stopped humming, but put their small heads on Zongzheng Hai's shoulders in a tacit understanding, raised their cute little noses, and squinted at Zongzheng Yu and Yi Jia.

"Where's father?" Zong Zhenghai seemed completely unaware that he was being used as a shield by his nephew, he asked softly.

"Upstairs in the study." Zong Zhengyu first reached out and hugged the more obedient Xixi.

Sure enough, the little guy twisted a bit, and finally let go of Zong Zhenghai's lapel, and honestly returned to his father's arms.

Seeing that his brother had been snatched away, Haohao immediately became anxious, and immediately stretched out his chubby little hand to reach for Xixi's clothes.

Yi Jia seized the opportunity, took advantage of the little guy's hand, stepped forward to catch him, and patted his little butt to signal him to be quiet.

Zong Zhenghai patted Xixi's little head, and said to his brother and sister-in-law: "I'll go find my father."

Zongzheng Yu and Yi Jia nodded quickly and watched Zongzheng go upstairs.

Taking her son back to the living room and seeing them sitting on the sofa and playing with toys obediently, Yi Jia turned her head and saw her husband was worried.

She probably guessed what he was worried about: "Since the child wants to be an actor himself, Dad can't say anything, he won't embarrass uncle."

"This is not what I'm most worried about. After all, everyone has their own ambitions..." He only felt that Uncle Mingrui's unexpected death had a great impact on his father and Uncle Xing. The mention of Lu Yang's matter would inevitably arouse his bad feelings. remember.

"Oh, by the way, now that Uncle is back, what about Uncle Xing? It's been more than half of this year, isn't he coming back this time?" Opportunities for Zongzhenghong's younger brother are few and far between.

Zongzheng Yu shook his head upon hearing this.

——Let's not talk about Yi Jia, even he doesn't see Zong Zhengxing a few times a year.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Zongzhenghai knocked on the door of Zongzhenghong's study, and a familiar voice came from inside: "Come in."

Walking into the room, Zong Zhenghai saw his father Zong Zhenghong sitting at the desk, flipping through a document.

"Father, I'm back."

Zong Zhenghong closed the document and responded to the eldest son: "Well, sit down." He pointed to the chair opposite the desk.

"How is the project of the new hotel in Shencheng going?"

"Everything is going well now. Although it is reported that the technical regulations on urban planning management will be revised next year, we should be able to complete the application for approval and the meeting before then, and the impact will not be great."

"Ah That's good."

Knowing that revising the city regulations is not a trivial matter, Zong Zhenghong believes in the ability of the eldest son.

Zong Zhenghai said that the impact is not big, that is, the impact is not big...or, even if there was an impact, it has been resolved now.

After finishing his official business, he was going to talk about private matters: "How is Lu Yang?"

"I'm currently filming with a regular crew, and two days ago I took a photo of Shi Feng's "Esquire" magazine." When Zong Zhenghai talked about Lu Yang, his tone was unavoidably gentle.

"Shi Feng? That's pretty good." Zong Tian is Shi Feng's partner and one of the biggest sponsors. Zong Zhenghong still knows Shi Feng very well.

He didn't think that this opportunity was arranged by Zongzheng Hai for Lu Yang by using Zong Tian's relationship, so he didn't mention it at all.

"It seems that he is determined to develop in the entertainment industry." Zong Zhenghong looked at the eldest son.

Zong Zhenghai didn't evade, looking back at his father: "He just wants to act. As for the development of the entertainment circle, let it take its course."

Zong Zhenghong smiled and said, "You know Lu Yang's thoughts very well."

At this moment, he suddenly hid his smile again: "However, in my opinion, there is no difference between purely acting or being in the entertainment industry. It's not in Zong Tian anyway."

"He's still young, so I support what he wants to do." Zong Zhenghong didn't know that when he talked about Lu Yang, his tone was the same as when he mentioned the little twins, with a gentle touch of connivance.

"If you don't let him make a breakthrough by himself, how would he know that the decision he made back then might be immature?"
