There is a tiger sniffing the rose in my heart

Now that I am about to play the role of "Lando Barcelolo" as the second protagonist, I am naturally a little concerned about who will play the role of "First Mate Raymond". If he is ready, he is afraid that he will make a fool of himself because he is not familiar with it, so he has been thinking about this question these days - it is not that he has not asked the producer of Mandalorian, but the reply given to him by the other party is very vague, as if it is the current actor It's a bit difficult to deal with, and he is still in the process of persuading.

At this time, ignoring the various English sound effects on the computer, sitting at the table, the black-haired young man rested his chin on one hand and thought about all the actors in Hollywood who might match this image. But I don't know why Jiang Chuan's completely unsuitable face appeared. At the same time, the black-haired young man's face froze, then he shook his head and stared at the computer screen. Only then did he see the computer screen in front of him. It has changed from the previous color to black and white, and a sentence of abuse from a teammate pops up from the lower left corner of the screen: [Auxiliary, are you a badass, why are you standing there in a daze?Tell me what you think! ] "..."

Only then did Jinran realize that he had been distracted for so long that he accidentally gave away his head.

A head of three hundred gold coins is equal to half a piece of equipment. How much a head gives away will put a certain amount of pressure on the adc who is in charge of the road with him——put your hands on the keyboard and type "sorry" quickly He was about to press the Enter key to send the four words, but at this moment, he saw the ADC on their side say a sentence without any haste: [I didn't say anything, what are you in a hurry for? 】While speaking, he decisively overturned the support and ADC on the opposite side by himself. The teammate sent out six points like "..." and then completely silenced. After that, the chat channel was refreshed by the system notification again. No one continued to talk—at this time, I was resurrected and returned to the city, and quickly used the money on my body to buy equipment. Before rushing back to the front line, I couldn't help but stare at the person on the dialog box who rarely spoke, and rarely spoke once. id watched for a long time——

Of course he knew Jiang Chuan's name in the game.

I also secretly created an account early on, and hired a power leveling agent. When I was not arguing with Jiang Chuan, I occasionally went online to hook up with him as a stranger, begging for cover—at the beginning, it was because it was fun. He never expected that this would be the last communication between him and Jiang Chuan. There was no verbal communication. They just went online at a fixed time every day, waiting for the invitation from the man, and the two of them played games together. Not a word.

Sometimes Jinran felt that Jiang Chuanzhi was actually the one on the computer.

This feeling became stronger after the incident just now.

But I know that as long as Jiang Chuan doesn't expose him, he won't ask, because before he and Jiang Chuan can reconcile normally, communication in the game like now seems to be pretty good, even if it's just watching the two in the game Running side by side with two game characters can make him feel a little satisfied.

I really know that his behavior is a bit abnormal and a bit idiotic.

But right now he couldn't think of a better way.

After playing the game, it was already two o'clock in the morning. After they played the game, they thought about it and couldn't help sending a message to Jiang Chuan's game id: [You went to work very late today, are you busy with work? ]

There was silence for about a minute, and then he replied slowly: [Family matters. ]

[You can tell me if you are upset, I am a close brother hahahahahahahahaha! ]

[I'm not satisfied with what I'm doing now, so my family tried to introduce women to me, hoping that I could take it easy. ]

Jinran was stunned, staring stiffly at the other party's answer on the screen, Jinran suddenly felt a little tired, didn't want to think about anything, and his mind was blank——turning off the computer and standing up, he suddenly felt emotional like Jiang Chuan said before that he was indeed old, and he fell on the bed with back pain and never thought about it again. He wished that when he closed his eyes and opened them again, it would be the end of the world outside.

This way he doesn't have to worry so much.

Yawning and half squinting, he fumbled around the bed and grabbed the phone, turned off the phone screen and found several unread text messages, all from Fang Yu——

[When you see the text message, call me back. ]

[Damn chicken, are you playing games again, are you still human when you play games every day when you are old? ]

[I don't care, anyway, my brother has already informed you that there will be a banquet related to your sailing movie next Wednesday, mainly to attract some investors. You have to go there, the location is still in Berlin, I know you don't want to go back to that place, but because you don't answer the phone now you have lost the right to resist, that's it, see you. ]

Sincerely: "..."

Seeing the word "Berlin" really hurts his eyes—whether it was more than ten years ago or dozens of days ago, this city has never brought him any good memories. On Valentine's Day, he met Jiang Chuan The quarrel, which is still in the Cold War period, has made him hate this city so much. Although he knows that it is completely unreasonable to think so, but at this time he really has a little bit of "it's all about this city." There is a sense of anger that the field doesn't fit with me".

If possible, he hoped that he would never step into that city even half a step in his life.

But when the sailing movie was involved, as a workaholic, he couldn't refuse it at all, so even if he resisted in his heart, he had to cheer up and go to WeChat to notify everyone that he was about to fly to Germany again. , After notifying all his relatives and friends in place, he hesitated, and finally sent a short sentence to Jiang Chuan: I will go to Berlin next Wednesday to hold a fundraising banquet for a new film.

Knowing that Jiang Chuan would definitely not reply, Jinran put the phone back under the pillow after sending it, and then fell into a deep sleep without taking a shower and wrapped in a quilt.

……

On Wednesday of the second week, Jinran got off the plane and stood on the ground in Berlin. The first news he got was shattering——

The producer of Mandalorian sent him a message that the largest investor in the film, which is about to enter the filming period, suddenly announced the withdrawal of capital. If this becomes true, they will face a huge financial hole, which may cause the entire film to be difficult to produce. maybe.

Seeing the news, Jinran was in a bad mood. He murmured that the curse of the Great Berlin made even the Egyptian Pharaoh stand aside. He immediately hung up the phone to Mandalore, but he hadn't had time to speak when the phone was answered. , Jin Ran hastily asked: "Why?"

"No reason, rich and self-willed." Mandello said over there rather tangled, "I will only attend the banquet tomorrow night as an invitee, and I will find another person to play for me as the producer, so tomorrow night I definitely can't take the initiative to persuade investors not to withdraw their capital, and we certainly can't expect extras to have extraordinary eloquence to persuade those rich people, otherwise he would just be an extra and become a negotiator—but , you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders tomorrow, I hope you will show off your brilliance and fascinate all beings..."

Sincerely: "..."

Mandello: "After all, you were so good in "Secret Seed," now the whole Hollywood is crazy about you."

"... Such kind words seem particularly unconvincing at this time, you know," Jin Ran said with a headache, "I'm sure I won't be able to do this."

"There is always a first time in everything. Those people like you, and they will definitely listen to what you say."

Jin Ran hung up the phone with embarrassment, and Fang Yu, who was eavesdropping by his side the whole time, saw his face flustered in the wind, hesitated for a while and finally couldn't help asking: "Do you want to arrange a sexy dance for you tomorrow?"

"..."

"After all, it fascinates all beings."

"roll."

Jin Ran was so depressed that he couldn't understand why everything went wrong again after the Chinese New Year. Did he offend some god by the wrong way of opening the Chinese New Year? Just as he began to carefully recall whether he did anything wrong when he worshiped God during the Chinese New Year. Good move, at this moment I heard Fang Yu leisurely say next to me: "My suggestion is very feasible, I heard that you and Jiang Chuan haven't spoken to each other for half a month, just in time you can have a passionate dance To win back his heart..."

Jinran heard a "click" in his brain as if something was disconnected: "Jiang Chuan is going too?"

Fang Yu: "Well, he didn't tell you? Oh, I forgot that you haven't talked for half a month."

Jinran resisted the urge to kill Fang Yu: "Why did he go?"

The expression on Fang Yu's face suddenly paused, revealing an obviously unnatural expression, but under the cautious and suspicious eyes, he quickly restrained this expression, and after a long sigh, he said in that obviously evasive tone: " Well, in fact, you also invited Jiang Chuan to act in your movie Mandalor—”

After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Mandello had indeed mentioned this matter at the premiere banquet of "Secret Seed" before. At that time, he thought that Mandello was just talking casually. That guy really paid for it?

"But Jiang Chuan hasn't agreed yet."

"...What is he pulling?"

"I also think he should have no reason to refuse. After all, this is really a good opportunity. Thinking about the content of this movie, if it is really performed, I am afraid that only those Chinese fans in China will contribute a lot. Amazing box office... So there must be other reasons for his slow reluctance to agree. After all, he has not been back in Germany since you returned to China. It is probably because something happened at home that needs to be dealt with. Claire's contract only accepts It's your share..."

During Fang Yu's ramblings, Jin Ran's thoughts had drifted far away, and the sentence "probably something happened at home that needs to be dealt with" had already made him feel terrified, and he couldn't help thinking about some bad things, such as Andre Really shot at Jiang Chuan's family and ruined his family's business so that he had to stay with his family to tide over the difficulties...

By the time Jinran reacted, his brows were already frowned so much that even his whole brain hurt.

Spent a restless and sleepless night in Germany.

Early the next morning, Mandello came to Jinran's hotel room to pour bitter water on him. When he saw the black-haired young man sitting on the bed with a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes, he was even more broken than Jinran. , as if he really expected Jinran to make an investment of hundreds of millions of euros by brushing his face tonight——Jinran was quite speechless about this, he got up from the bed, glanced at his phone, and strongly suppressed the desire to send a message. The impulse to send a text message to Jiang Chuan asking if he was okay, dropped his phone and floated to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

While listening to Mandalore talking behind him about the background of the investors who willfully withdrew their capital this time——

In short, it is probably a branch of a great mafia family in Germany. It is a gift to give money, and they can't afford to offend them without money.

"Aren't all the Mafia from Sicily? There are also collaterals here?" Jin Ran asked vaguely while brushing his teeth.

This question triggered a series of science popularization about that mafia family. Jin Ran was dizzy after hearing it. Today, its main members are indeed gathered in Italy, but other collaterals have infiltrated most of the surrounding developed countries, monopolizing the import and export of arms and weapons for a long time, and their business involves food, medicine, high-tech industries and other profitable fields, so Even if it's just a collateral branch, speaking is quite important.

Moreover, it is said that there have been some problems with the heirs of the main family recently. Compared with the same age and ability, the heirs of the side branch families distributed in Germany are likely to use this to completely rise to power——

All in all, the feasibility of the previously conceived idea of ​​"holding a kitchen knife around his neck and making him pay" is lower than negative infinity.

"Then is there any other way to persuade him?" Jin Ran asked casually very perfunctorily.

"Yes, you go and beg for mercy." Mandello stared at the shaved black-haired young man in the mirror, "Maybe that young master will soften his heart for a moment—"

"... What do you think?" Jin Ran couldn't help but laugh.

"I heard you have a good relationship." Mandalore was taken aback, "Isn't it?"

Jinran slipped the electric razor in his hand and then laughed out loud. Last night's dinner almost vomited out of laughter: he didn't know where Mandalore came from such a ridiculous statement, he was a little How could a local celebrity know such an awesome character and have a good relationship with him? He still needs to be anxious to get angry for a movie if he has a good relationship with such a character?Rolling around so hard he'd kill him with euros; he's using it here to burn his ass for the cold treatment of a crush?Let him point Jiang Chuan's head with ak47 and ask him to propose to him...

"Rumors, rumors." Jin Ran shook her head and said, "Where did you hear such terrible rumors?"

Mandalore didn't speak. At this moment, his face was ashen and his eyes were empty.

……

Because it is a banquet, I have notified in advance that every male creature participating in the banquet needs to bring a female companion - Jinran originally wanted to grab a female relative who had a schedule from the country to go with him, but in Before he had time to do so, Mandello had thoughtfully given him the girl who was about to play the female supporting role in the entire movie as his female companion—as for why there was still a female supporting role in this so-called all-men movie This kind of creature, according to Mandalore's meaning, is probably more or less to take care of the feelings of straight male audiences (...).

So that night, when Jin Ran walked into the banquet with the girl who was wearing high heels similar to him with her head held high, facing the eyes of everyone, he felt the malice of the world—he was also 1.7 meters six to six. With a slender figure of about 1.7 meters [-], I don't know why he suddenly became an inconspicuous little man when he went abroad.

The female supporting role was named Wensalia, a girl in her early twenties, with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a water-blue dress. As soon as she entered the venue, she attracted the attention of most men—including Jiang Chuan, who had been there earlier.

Jinran saw Jiang Chuan as soon as he entered the banquet hall.

Tonight, the man was wearing a dark blue formal suit. The exquisite tailoring and fabric well outlined his broad shoulders, perfect waistline and long straight legs. At this moment, he was standing in a group of people who looked like rich Among the people of the son and brother, shaking a glass of red wine in their hands, they didn't speak, but they always gave people the illusion that everyone around him was talking about him.

When Jinran and the others walked in, the atmosphere of the banquet changed subtly because of Wensalia's appearance, and the young masters around the man turned their heads to look at her with interest, and Jinran noticed from the corner of his eye, The man who was looking down at the wine glass in his hand absently also raised his head and glanced at them.

It was also Windsoria.

Then, soon, he looked away, raised his hand and tugged at the neckline, and opened the collar that was buttoned up in every detail-this behavior seemed a little rude and casual in front of investors, but it was strange. What's more, none of the people around Jiang Chuan felt uncomfortable with his behavior. I really don't know why Jiang Chuan quickly got acquainted with these investors as an actor, because at this time, Jiang Chuan is now The female companion brought by Wan Wan has been attached to his body again.

It was a beautiful girl, probably also a star, her mouth would pout unconsciously when she spoke, she leaned against Jiang Chuan's ear and talked to him, while the man turned his head and seemed to answer her patiently in a whisper what -

Jinran inexplicably remembered Jiang Chuan saying in the game a few days ago that his family was arranging a "blind date" for him.

Originally, he was a little hungry before entering the banquet hall, but now he felt that he had no appetite at all.

Listlessly calling Wensalia to the center of the banquet hall, I was not very familiar with that girl, so I just stood with her and talked with her for a while at the beginning of the banquet, and soon there were other people who saw her. The guy who looked like an investor invited the girl to dance - because their main purpose tonight was to cheat money, and they showed timely generosity to the fact that their female partner was invited to go tonight ...

Or rather, he didn't care at all.

He seemed absent-minded all evening.

He didn't even notice that the person he hated the most came to him——

When the red wine glass in his hand was taken away, Jinran was stunned for a moment, but when he raised his head, he found that the shadow cast by the person standing in front of him at this moment completely enveloped him, he looked at those amber pupils, and for a moment Immediately after the pause, he frowned, lowered his voice and said, "Mond."

"You seem to be preoccupied." The blond man opened his mouth, "I happened to hear some rumors, is it because of investors' withdrawal of capital? I heard that if you can't restore some things tonight, this movie may be difficult to produce Well, what a pity—”

Before he finished speaking, the black-haired young man who was sitting on the seat suddenly stood up, and he stared at him: "It's you, isn't it?"

Andre showed a surprised expression—in fact, he was really surprised, but it was obvious that any reaction he made at this time was hypocritical in Jinran's eyes, and he soon changed from black-haired to young The disgust in people's eyes realized this, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have joked about similar topics not long ago, and couldn't help but sigh that this was a scapegoat for his own faults. The blond man restrained his surprise and showed a helpless smile : "Believe it or not, this time it really has nothing to do with me. Since the last time, a certain guy refused to let me stand out and speak for them—"

As he spoke, he paused: "Later, he played it off by himself, annoyed his difficult father and caused the backyard to catch fire, that's why your movie was withdrawn—"

Jinran's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't understand what Andre was saying at all. At this moment, he just stared fiercely at the guy in front of him: "You talk so much, and you leave yourself so clean, since you are not an investor, So why are you here tonight—"

"Although I no longer speak for others, I can still make some small investments based on my hobbies. I can't get hundreds of millions of euros out, and I can still consider 3000 to [-] million. This can at least support your crew to start smoothly." An Andre smiled, and shook the wine glass he had taken away from Jinran before, and under the latter's slightly narrowed eyes, he deliberately drank the liquid in the glass at the place Jinran touched , then put down the glass, raised his hand to touch the face of the person in front of him, "On condition that you sleep with me all night."

Snapped.

Accompanied by a burst of burning pain, Andre looked at the back of his hand that was slightly red, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and looked at the expressionless black-haired young man again, but the pair of amber pupils changed slightly. It's getting darker——

"Of course, I really regret that I didn't play my cards according to common sense at that time. Otherwise, you should be in my bed in the first week of official dating."

"Thank you for your kindness at that time." Jin Ran said lightly, "But it's meaningless to say these things now, please excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."

Andre smiled: "What I said before is true. You can think about it. It's not uncommon for actors to sleep with investors for funds—"

Before he finished speaking, the person standing in front of him had already straightened his back, brushed shoulders with him and walked towards the bathroom outside the door without looking back—there was not even a trace of a smile on his face. His emotions were as cold as a robot, and his slender figure, which was obviously different from the skeleton of Westerners, unexpectedly stood out even in the crowd.

The blond man standing there glanced around casually and then narrowed his eyes slightly. No matter whether the black-haired young man noticed it or not, the people present tonight, from the beginning to the end, focused on him rather than on Windsor. Leah has much less.

While thinking about it, he turned his eyes as if thinking of something, and began to search a certain corner of the banquet hall——

Sure enough, somewhere in the banquet hall, the man who was leaning against the window lazily chatting and laughing with the people around him suddenly stopped laughing. He raised his head and glanced in the direction where the black-haired young man had just disappeared outside the door. , then put down his wine glass casually, stood up straight, and said something to the female companion who was hanging on him, and then ignored the unhappy expression of the female companion, he took his arm out of the female companion's hand Come out, and then walk out of the banquet hall with steady steps.
