fight real army

On the way back, Manager Zheng asked Shen Ge: "See, how eager is Ling Jiale's manager for quick success? When you were recording the show, you still pestered me to ask, is it Hollywood? Is it Hollywood? Look at him. Jintou, I dare say that if I told him that you were going to play the leading role, he would have knelt down in front of me and hugged my thigh. After being in the industry for so long, I have seen too many thick-skinned people. This manager Xu , counting among the top five."

He glanced at Shen Ge, who turned his head and looked out the window after getting into the car, he could only see half of Shen Ge's profile.

There has always been a saying that a bald head is the hairstyle that most tests a man's appearance. Shen Ge is like this. The first time I saw him he had a cut head, but now he simply shaved his head. This young man's handsomeness does not need any hairstyle to modify it, nor It needs any expression to embellish, the more frank and direct, the more handsome and heartfelt.

In the beginning, Manager Zheng was temporarily stuffed with an artist who had never received any training, and he was a little troublesome, but after several interactions, he was very optimistic about this young man, and even in order to concentrate on leading him, Send out two of the artists in your hand.

After the filming of "Colorless Sky", there were other agents in the company who were also interested in Shen Ge. The other party was older than him in bringing artists and had a wider network of contacts. He was very worried that Shen Ge would be rejected. The opponent poached away.

It was Shen Ge who comforted him instead, "Brother Zheng, don't worry, someone told me that all the people who treat you well before you become famous are the ones who really treat you well, and I will not go with others."

Broker Zheng was very relieved at the time and believed that this young man could be popular.Sure enough, a Hollywood director of Chinese descent was preparing to make a film about Chinese laborers in the United States. The main character was a Cantonese boy who was trafficked to the United States to build railways.

The director noticed Shen Ge at the Berlin Film Festival premiere of "Sweat Through Shirt", and later watched his performance in "Colorless Sky". The two completely different roles and performance styles made him see this The huge potential of young actors, immediately handed olive branches.

This guy Shen Ge is really competitive. He speaks good English and communicates well with the director. He also learned a few words of Cantonese from the crew of "Colorless Sky" and gave himself a lot of points in the audition. Finally got the role.

"Let me ask you, why are you so restless today? The news you've been bored for two months, you broke out so suddenly——Shen Ge, turn your head and look at me." Manager Zheng's voice was a little harsh.

Shen Ge turned his face around, revealing two stubborn reddish eyes and a tense face.

Broker Zheng frowned and looked at him, then turned back to look at the road ahead.

When he was recording the program, he was watching from the audience. At that time, he felt that Shen Ge's eyes were red, and he hurriedly told the people on the stage that the section just now must be cut. I wanted to lie to you, but now it seems that there is no need to ask... Is it divided after the finale?"

Shen Ge's lips tightened into a line.

Broker Zheng asked while driving: "Have you always been, or is it because of filming?"

"Always……"

"What about him?"

The car was silent for a while, "He, it wasn't before."

You don't even need to look at his expression, but the tone of voice made Manager Zheng's throat sore, and sighed again: "Young..."

Afterwards, Manager Zheng asked a few more questions to make sure that Shen Ge had never talked to other men before, nor had he revealed his sexuality, so he was a little relieved, and his voice was much softer: "Then you shouldn't give others such an insult today." , there is no need to shake that hand."

He glanced at Shen Ge, "I didn't know him before, but when I saw a real person today, I don't think he is a master who makes trouble. There are too many splits and alliances in the circle, especially those who are in love because of drama, as long as it is not intentional." Playing around, there is no need to turn against each other."

"Our circle is different from other circles. In the future, we will keep our heads up and see each other under the eyes of countless pairs of eyes. We should try our best to break up peacefully. Don't get married and become troubled, especially if the two of you are—" He He let go of the steering wheel with his right hand, and turned it up and down twice toward Shen Ge, expressing that it was not convenient for him to publicly show his sexuality, "You have something in his hands."

He knew that there was no need to say any more, because Shen Ge lowered his head, his hands on his knees were tightly clenched into fists, and his knuckles were white with tension, showing the greatest remorse a man could show in front of others.

He only mentioned the last sentence: "I understand that you are not reconciled. Anyone who breaks up has to hold back his energy. He wants to let his ex see that he will live a better life without him. He wants the other party to regret breaking up with him. But, Shen Ge, whether he regrets it or not, it has nothing to do with us, can you understand what I mean?"

Shen Ge understood what Manager Zheng meant, and the darkness in his heart was seen through by his manager.That's what he meant, with an indescribable energy in his heart, he thrust his hand arbitrarily in front of Ling Jiale, forcing him to embarrass him in front of so many people.

But what does his right hand that insists on stopping in front of Ling Jiale's face prove?

Can it prove that he is no longer the Shen Ge who is always led by the nose, as long as he wants to be good, and if he wants to divide, he can divide?Prove that Shen Ge can live well without Ling Jiale?

But he obviously had a bad time.When experiencing life in a small fishing village in Guangdong, he almost fell off the fishing boat because he thought about Ling Jiale breaking up with him. The fishermen who took over him were so frightened that they almost didn't dare to let him go to sea again.He thought on the fishing boat during the day, and then went back to his residence at night. The last thing before going to bed every night is to stare at that WeChat page for a long time, and then fall asleep with the same disappointment and resentment day after day.

He dared to say that even at this moment, sitting in the car, after Manager Zheng said so much, if Ling Jiale called him and said, "Shen Ge, let's make up." He can immediately turn his manager around and go forward without thinking about the consequences.

It's always been like this, while spurning the ugly appearance of having no dignity when they broke up, while annoyed that they didn't work harder to stay.

In other words, Ling Jiale can no longer turn a blind eye to his outstretched right hand, even if he is reluctant in every possible way, he must hand it to him in full view, this will prove that he is really prosperous, even better than Ling Jiale More popular with the audience, making him regret abandoning himself because he was afraid of scandals?

But he is very clear and very clear that Ling Jiale is not the kind of person to follow others, he will never use his love to hype.

The love Ling Jiale gave him was true.He seemed to notice this fact for the first time.

Don't worry about those additional conditions, Ling Jiale is sincere when he loves him, and he is even happy that he can go to the United States to film.Just by observing from the corner of your eye, you can see the joy that is trying to hide but can't hide in those clear eyes that make people love and hate.

How could there be such a person?Let him not love, but can't hate, and let him try to inflict embarrassment and regret on the other party, and finally return them intact.

"It's messed up again." Shen Ge thought very painfully, and even felt that Ling Jiale and himself broke up well.Such impulsiveness and childishness, so what if he is famous?So what if he's a big star?He will never be able to truly be Ling Jiale's reliance, unable to give him the most needed sense of security.

"Shen Ge, next time we meet again, be more polite to him." Manager Zheng reminded from the side.

Shen Ge suddenly regained his energy.right!And next time!The next promotional event, and the next promotional event, there will be more intensive meetings after the film is released... Next time, Shen Ge clenches his fists, his eyes sparkle, and next time, he must have a good talk with Ling Jiale !

However, a few days later, the recorded program had just aired. Two weeks before the film was released, the creator of "Sweaty Shirt" received a notice requesting that the film be postponed indefinitely.

People soon discovered that the film, which had not been shown before, had skipped file.

Although "Sweat Through Shirts" belongs to the newly launched "restricted release standard", the screening rate in major theaters is not low, and now it has disappeared overnight; All domestic events have been cancelled.

The crew and the producer responded immediately: it was due to technical reasons, and the film had to be slightly modified.

When will it be postponed?

Answer: Sorry, not sure yet.

"Grass! Grass! Grass!" Boss Jiang was forced to carry the two cauldrons of "tricking people's appetite" and "breaking promises", and kicked his solid wood desk frantically in the office.The corners of the table were placed on the thick blanket, and the friction was extremely strong, and it remained motionless under his violent attack.

Apart from him, there were only Director Liang and Shen Ge left in the room, with a cigarette in each hand, one with a gloomy face and one with a cold expression, the room was shrouded in clouds and mist.

At this time, the door was knocked, and after only two rings, it was pushed open from the outside familiarly, and a man about 40 years old came in, not tall, with a yuppie demeanor.

Shen Ge immediately stood up, moved the cigarette to his left hand, and said in a respectful tone, "Master Bo."

Master Bai, Old Bai, Feng Si's ex-husband, also had a cigarette in his mouth, strode in and stopped in front of Shen Ge, raised his head to look him in the eye, and patted his strong arm hard, "How did it happen?" Are you bald?"

Shen Gehu snorted at his shiny head, and smiled quite honestly: "I just took a makeup photo for the new play."

The other party also knew about it, and gave a clear "oh".

The other two people in the room had been waiting impatiently for a long time, especially Boss Jiang, who hurriedly interrupted their exchange of greetings and asked, "Have you heard?"

Old Bai walked to his desk and flicked ash on the ashtray twice, "I found out, it's not because of offending people, it's because of the two sessions."

He took a puff on his cigarette, and continued while puffing out the smoke: "Recently, there have been many people proposing to legalize same-sex marriage, and there has been a lot of support on the Internet, and some people have said that, I am afraid that your film will affect the public's opinion, so we have to wait for the limelight." In the past. And as mentioned before, the grading has just started, and the two films ahead of you are not worth watching. What about you, you won awards when you first came up, and the momentum is too big. Some people have long said that you can’t When I first came up, I made such a head, and it happened that the two combined into one, and it suppressed you..."

After a while of silence in the room, Boss Jiang suddenly jumped up, "It means that pornography is okay, but homosexuality is not allowed? I can shoot the fucked up and laid-off workers, but homosexuals are still not allowed to shoot?! Fuck! Fuck!" He mowed his feet After struggling with his own table, the big solid wooden table finally moved half an inch away.

Lao Bai grinned happily: "Be content, a few years earlier, the first two will not be photographed for you."

"Then what should we do?" Producer Liang, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke out. He seemed to be sluggish for a moment, as if he had just been hit by a sap on the head.He has been in this industry for almost 20 years, and he knows that once the release of a movie becomes rough, it is uncertain whether there will be a way out.

"Low-key." Lao Bai said decisively, and the hand holding the cigarette made a downward movement when speaking.

He looked at the three people present, and said with some embarrassment for them: "Retire Cannes and Venice, and fight again next year."

Lao Bai has some background in his family. Although he has been a literary and artistic worker, his keenness in this area is unmatched.Boss Jiang thought for a moment in pain, then kicked the table again: "Fuck!"

Seeing that he listened to the persuasion, Lao Bai was relieved, and began to lobby for another purpose of his trip: "Actually, putting it aside like this is not necessarily a bad thing. Didn't you announce that you will make changes? Why don't you come to the truth, It only took a few minutes to add back the scene of Si Yatou to her!"

"By the way, I also changed the ending back. I saw that the ending that Wang Xu was planning to shoot before was pretty good. Why did you delete it? It was so top-heavy. I was so dumbfounded at the premiere. I thought this is Wang Xu? Wang Xu Doesn't Xu like the ending with a bang? Looking at the front, I thought I was going to make a super big move, but it suddenly disappeared! It's like..."

"... How complete and profound his original story is! Berlin likes this tone the most. It is both political reflection and ideology. If it follows his original idea, the Golden Bear Award will be appropriate." He is I really feel sorry for this film, and I said a few more words unconsciously.

Lao Bai himself has won awards at several major film festivals, and his judgment is highly credible.

Boss Jiang suddenly felt that he had been fooled, and glared at Producer Liang: "Didn't you say that this version is more suitable for the film festival!"

Producer Liang complained in his heart: "I don't understand the director's thinking..." He immediately sensed something was wrong, and asked Lao Bai: "Why are you so familiar with his previous thinking? Who told you?"

Old Bo grinned, a little childish: "Anyway, someone told me!"

Shen Ge was smoking non-existently at the side.

Several people said a few more words, and finally Lao Bo made an appointment with them: "Call me when you go to see Wang Xu, and I will talk to him." Before going out, he winked at Shen Ge, Facing Producer Liang and the others, he smiled gratefully at him.

After the old cypress left, the house became sad again.

Boss Jiang also lit a cigarette for himself, puffing on his face with a sad face.

Producer Liang persuaded: "Boss Jiang, actually, when we first chose this subject, we should have made such preparations..."

Boss Jiang's eyes widened: "I deserve to be blamed for coauthoring? Blame me for asking for trouble? Liang Jianwen, did your tm ancestors be black slaves?"

Producer Liang kept his mouth shut.

Boss Jiang twitched his head sullenly, and said depressedly: "Why don't you tell me earlier? What is this? I've been so busy this year?" He asked Producer Liang again: "How is Director Wang's illness? Happy new year this year—”

Producer Liang's face darkened in an instant, and he shook his head heavily.

Boss Jiang's cigarette became even more disturbing.

Zhongcheng has not been established for a long time, and it has not been long since it entered the film and television industry. From the beginning, it has relied on binding Wang Xu to make a few good-looking and profitable films and make a name in the industry. Willing to play with them.

But they are still slightly behind the industry leader.Boss Jiang’s minimum requirement is to produce at least one good film a year, but this year Midtown didn’t come across a good one, and the mainstay director had to make such a sensitive subject, and he vowed to win the grand prize, but the final award was not satisfactory. , even the release date is far away, but what makes him sigh the most is Wang Xu's illness... If Wang Xu can't make movies anymore, who else can Zhongcheng count on...

Producer Liang obviously knew what he was worried about, he seemed to be relieved, and at the same time he seemed to sigh, "Isn't this Shen Ge again? I think Lao Bai admires Shen Ge very much and asked him to write a script for him. He wrote I'm better at scripting than directing."

Boss Jiang turned his gaze to Shen Ge's face, and it happened that Shen Ge was also looking at him, his eyes were full of fighting spirit: "Boss Jiang, I have an idea that can help you fill in the gaps for this year."

Boss Jiang could not help but sit upright, "Say."

Shen Ge wants to make a youth film, "Talk about the third year of high school and the college entrance examination. Before the heat of the college entrance examination passes, sell a wave of feelings. I have thought about the entry point of the promotion. I will use my own re-examination this year as a gimmick."

"The cost of this kind of film is small and the cycle is short. If we write more positively, it will definitely be no problem to pass the review. In recent years, youth films have begun to decline, but in fact the market demand is still very large, but there are no good films. After all Everyone has gone to school, nostalgia is always a good card to play. Looking back at the youth films of the past ten years, as long as the campus life is realistic enough and the feelings are real enough, the box office will definitely be good, and it may be a big hit.”

Boss Jiang thought for a few seconds, "Is it too late?"

Shen Ge thought he was asking if the movie would be released in time, "If it is in time, it doesn't have to be the summer vacation. Haven't we read the statistics, middle and high school students don't contribute much to the box office of movies, and the summer vacation is not very important, as long as they are in time for the college entrance examination It can be done before the heat of the college entrance examination goes down. According to my guess, the heat of the college entrance examination can be maintained at least until the new semester starts."

Boss Jiang raised his chin at him, "I mean, do you have time? Or are you not going to act?"

Shen Ge hurriedly said: "I act! I also wrote the script - of course I need the help of Producer Liang." Seeing that the two of them looked at him strangely, he explained: "I have studied all of Director Wang's scripts, Can it be regarded as a familiarity? And I am familiar with this kind of subject matter. I just finished the college entrance examination the year before last, and I still remember many things in my third year of high school. After I went to college, I also heard my roommates talk about their respective experiences, and I can use them as materials to write in.”

"And what about your Fortunecookie?"

""Fortune Cake" was only launched in August. I have already read the script, figured out how to perform, and practiced Cantonese almost, so I don't need to do any special preparation. At the end of the month, the script will be released in May, and the shooting will start in June. The main shooting will take up to one month, and the post-production will not take too long. With this calculation, it will be released in September. If you are afraid that the time will affect the quality, I can guarantee—— "

Boss Jiang dispelled his doubts: "There are others faster than you. This kind of small-scale film is no problem at this speed. But, is there anything good to shoot in the third year of high school? Aren't domestic high schools all lying on their desks to do problems?" ?” He himself went to middle school abroad, so he didn’t quite understand this kind of youth complex.

He looked at Producer Liang, and Producer Liang quickly waved his hands: "It was very different when we were in high school than it is now, and I didn't study youth films."

Shen Ge saw that the two had doubts, thought for a while, and said: "Boss Jiang, do you think this is okay? I will let you borrow money to make a movie. If it succeeds, the proceeds will be yours. If it doesn't work, I will use my future money." The movie pays you. I think you should have confidence in me, and I can still receive good movies after "Fortune Cake."

Boss Jiang thought his joke was very funny, so he burst out laughing, but in a blink of an eye, seeing that Shen Ge didn't even smile, he couldn't help but suppress his smile again, and asked him, "Then do you have any ideas about the director?"

"Yes, he's also director Wang, the assistant director of "Sweaty Clothes"." Shen Ge said.

Producer Liang immediately agreed, "Xiao Wang was brought up by Lao Wang, and he is also young, so it is just right to shoot this kind of subject matter."

Shen Ge said again: "It is best to use the original cast of "Sweaty Shirt" for photography and props."

Producer Liang thought for a while and said, "It can be arranged."

"I hope to ask director Wang Xu to check the final editing."

Producer Liang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "It should be fine."

"Producer Liang said just now that Mr. Bo is good at writing scripts, can we ask him to be a consultant? After all, he still wants to ask Producer Liang to speak for him in front of Director Wang, and add Si Si's scene back."

Boss Jiang laughed loudly: "Well, Shen Ge, you dare to attack Lao Bai's idea!"

Shen Ge didn't laugh with him, he smoked to the end of his cigarette, and wiped it out vigorously in the ashtray, looking at Boss Jiang with burning eyes, "Boss, I'm just waiting for a word from you."

He knew what kind of personality Boss Jiang was, and he also knew that he had just encountered a setback at this moment, when he was most eager for quick success.He is not taking advantage of the fire, he should be asked to pass the pillow when he is dozing off.

Boss Jiang's heart is already moved, his eyes are too bright, if he can ask Lao Bai to help write the script, the publicity alone will be enough to bring a wave of box office.

But his mouth was still tense, and he said with a smile: "What sentence? You are better at deceiving people than I am. You think you can get money from me by drawing a big cake? Write the script first and then talk about it!"

Shen Ge's face finally relaxed a little, and he looked at Producer Liang with a smile: "Please ask Producer Liang to be my teacher."

Producer Liang also laughed, recovering from the blow of the film's withdrawal, he remembered something again: "Do you have any specific ideas about the relationship line? This is very important."

Shen Ge slightly hesitated: "Yes."

After "Colorless Sky" was released, his nerdy roommates finally found out that his former dormitory head had gone to become an actor, and immediately invited him to have a dinner together.

During the meal, everyone told about their current situation. Several roommates were similar, but only one of them had really experienced a major ordeal in life. Because of the pain of falling out of love, he became poisoned by alcohol and called an ambulance, which became a joke of the entire department.

"...If my roommate doesn't want to write his own story into the movie, we can change it, anyway..." He paused, "'Meet the person you love the most at the most down-and-out age', although his words are sour , but I think it would be a good theme for a movie."

Producer Liang asked casually, "What do you think is the ending of the breakup? What if it's a comedy ending?"

Shen Ge, who had always been confident, suddenly froze, "This... I haven't considered it..."

Boss Jiang waved his hand, "We'll discuss this later. Shen Ge, let me ask you, do you really have enough time and energy?"

Shen Ge said without hesitation, "Enough!"

Boss Jiang raised a finger and said seriously: "You know how much I value "Fortunecookie". I believe you also know what it means to be the leading actor in a big Hollywood production. I hope you can distinguish between priorities. In terms of investment, If I make a decision, if I lose it, it will be my own, and if I make it, it will be the company's. You don't have to take the risk yourself. But if the script can't be changed to the way you want by the end of May, even if the final script can be completed, you won't be asked to come Play, can you accept it?"

Shen Ge nodded firmly: "Boss, don't worry, I know it well!" Just by looking at his facial features, one would feel that he is reliable, and one can't help but believe him.

Boss Jiang looked at him for a while, and suddenly said with emotion: "You are quite successful, why are you still working so hard?" I feel like a person who has nothing.

Shen Ge lowered his head and took out a new cigarette from the cigarette case to light himself. After the first puff of smoke was exhaled, his expression instantly softened.

When he saw Boss Jiang and Lao Bai, he finally figured out what it really takes to love someone in the entertainment circle.It's not a little bit of fame, and it's not just empty talk of love. What he needs is a solid success that will allow him to gain a foothold.
