Die Another Day Reborn

The Spring Festival is getting closer day by day, Ji Yueze continues to be busy, but his mood is much more comfortable than before, and the pressure on his shoulders is much less.

In fact, the emotional stability has stabilized, and the filming of the movie in hand is almost finished.His roles can all be over before the Spring Festival, and seeing that he can take an annual leave, he has already greeted Wang Ke in advance, and will not accept any extra work during the Spring Festival, as Uncle Ji said.

Wang Ke followed this routine, saying that he would definitely make arrangements for him, and also told him to be careful with others, and he must take advantage of the holiday to coax Ji Mingshen into comfort and continue to enjoy the exclusive treatment.

At that time, Ji Mingshen was right next to him, and he teased Wang Ke in front of him, "Is that so serious? Brother Wang, I didn't get any benefit from him, why coax him so much!"

Ji Mingshen looked up at him and smiled, his hand had already touched his body, he was itchy from being harassed, and his voice immediately became louder, "Don't make trouble!"

Wang Ke raised his voice and criticized him, "How can you talk! Look at you, you are short-sighted, right? People's value is not calculated by copper stink, what is money in this circle! You coax that big Buddha, go There are people who will give you the green light and find resources for you, so you are afraid that there will be no investors to support you?"

Oh, that's a lot of talking... He hurriedly begged for mercy, "All right, I've listened to it, and I promise to coax him with [-]% sincerity."

"That's good... I'll just give you a few more days off, but you have to participate in the promotional activities after the year to maintain exposure, forget about those variety shows, and now you don't have time, and you still have a few scripts Pick it for you, take the time to take a look, and do it well after the next year, huh?"

"Thank you, Brother Wang, I will." He hung up the phone respectfully, then hurriedly pushed Ji Mingshen away, "Don't make trouble in broad daylight! They still have to come to serve food, it's inappropriate to see it!"

"Hehe, didn't you promise just now that you would coax me with [-]% sincerity? Are you talking against me?"

He glared, "It depends on the occasion to coax you! Is this place suitable?"

Yes, they were in a small box in a new restaurant. Ji Mingshen said that the signature dishes here were quite good, so he specially brought him here to patronize.

He has never eaten at this restaurant, and it only opened last month. Ji Mingshen finally found a cheap and fresh place, which made him very satisfied.The other party originally wanted to order a few more dishes for him to taste, but he couldn't change his habit of being thrifty, so he insisted on ordering only three or four dishes.

Because of this, Ji Mingshen praised him a few more times, praising him for becoming more and more virtuous.He was very happy when he heard it at first, but after thinking about it again, he stared, "Xianhui is used to refer to women, right? You are such an adult and you still use words indiscriminately!"

Ji Mingshen really couldn't hold back his laughter, and pointed at him while laughing, "You...you are a little flirtatious, okay? I'm a novice enough, but you're rougher than me."

"Huh?" He still didn't want to understand, what kind of sentiment is this?

"I went around and said that you are my wife, idiot!" Ji Ming smiled so deeply that his eyes were narrowed into slits, seeing how cute he was, he stretched out his finger and flicked on his forehead.

"Oh..." He rubbed his forehead and cried out in pain, "I told you not to play this! It will leave marks, and I still have a show this afternoon!"

It was only then that Ji Mingshen apologized insincerely, picked up a chopsticks of soft and fragrant tamales and stuffed them into his mouth, "I'll make up for you with a piece of meat!"

He had no choice but to chew and swallow it, and took out a small mirror from his pocket to take a closer look at his forehead. Fortunately, the other party saved his strength, and there was only a small red spot, which could be covered with some concealer.

After taking a few bites, the call came again. Seeing that it was Shen Zhengli, he put the phone in front of Ji Mingshen, "Do I want to answer it?"

Ji Ming curled his lips deeply, "Take it, let's see what he has to do."

He swiped the screen to answer, and Shen Zhengli just wanted to treat him to a meal and introduce a few people to him.Ji Mingshen suddenly came over to talk, "Zhengli, are you looking for resources for Yue Ze's next play? Movie or TV?"

Shen Zhengli was silent for a while, and greeted Ji Mingshen with a smile, "Mingshen, what are you up to lately? You should help Yue Ze more, he is so good to you, if you take care of him, how can I be needed? "

There was already a bit of gunpowder in these words, and Ji Yueze was bored hearing it, but Ji Mingshen remained unmoved, "I've always been free, it doesn't look like you are busy with business all day long. The matter of Yueze really bothers you, I Not familiar with this circle."

"Well, even if I don't care about your face, I like Yue Ze quite a bit. Isn't this to introduce someone to him? I'm afraid you won't be at ease." Shen Zhengli continued to speak with thorns.

"I'm quite relieved. With you taking care of him for me, he's sure to be safe." Ji Mingshen still replied with a smile. After saying this, he returned the phone to Ji Yueze, and said with his mouth, "Thank you."

Ji Yueze held back his smile, and did so sincerely, "Thank you Brother Shen!"

Having said that, it was quite satisfactory, and Shen Zhengli hung up after arranging the time and place of the dinner.Ji Yueze felt that Ji Mingshen seemed to be suffering a lot, and he had to help, and he had to be responsible for his safety, otherwise it would be Shen Zhengli's problem if something happened.

"Did you trick him?" He couldn't help asking.

Ji Mingshen took another bite of vegetables into his bowl, and the expression on his face was a bit treacherous, "Hehe, it's not the first time the wisher has taken the bait anyway. If you don't want to take advantage, you won't be fooled. Shen Zhengli always wants to take advantage of me, so he has to pay a price." .”

"……"makes sense.Although he had a good impression of Shen Zhengli, he knew in his heart that they would only be nodding acquaintances. If it wasn't for Ji Mingshen, people like Shen Zhengli wouldn't even look at him more.

A few days later, he found time to go to Shen Zhengli's dinner.There were not many people at the table, including Shen Zhengli and him, there were six in total.One is a famous film director he has heard, specializing in hilarious urban comedies, and has a glorious history of winning high box office at a small cost; the second is a gold medal screenwriter in the industry, good at original comedy scripts; the third is a producer He knew the fourth one... and not to an ordinary degree. Not long ago, he even had a fight in the men's room.

It is not surprising that Shen Zhengli brought the director, screenwriter and producer, but Hong Weichen actually appeared at the banquet, which surprised him.

In Shen Zhengli's introduction, Hong Weichen was a friend who had just met recently, and the two were going to cooperate to start some business.At the banquet, Hong Weichen treated Shen Zhengli respectfully, was very flattering, and was polite to him. He even apologized to him in front of other people. He said that they had a little misunderstanding and had a fight. I hope he will treat Shen Zhengli as a friend. Regardless of the previous suspicions, he shook hands and made peace.

Shen Zhengli also came to be the mediator with a smile, he pulled the two of them to shake hands at the table, and half-jokingly forced Hong Weichen to participate in the investment of this new movie, expressing his apology with real money.

Hong Weichen really agreed, and made a decision to the producer on the spot to sponsor the show. Not to mention too much, it is not a big problem to get tens of millions, but Ji Yueze must be appointed as the male lead.

Shen Zhengli still refused to give up, saying that famous director and gold medal screenwriter, this combination is worth [-] million, Hong Weichen drank three cups with a wry smile, begging Shen Zhengli to recruit two more co-investors, his small business, recently He has just made a fortune in the stock market, and he plans to take advantage of Shen Zhengli's success in the real estate business. If he sells everything now, he will have to go to the streets to beg for food.

Ji Yueze talked less and listened more, basically he understood.Hong Weichen was trying to curry favor with Shen Zhengli, and wanted to get a piece of cake from the real estate business, so Shen Zhengli borrowed flowers to present Buddha, and asked Hong Weichen to spend money to make a movie.He was flattered by this posture, but he didn't want to say much in front of everyone. When the banquet was over, the few people had almost discussed it, and everyone watched the movie summary prepared by the screenwriter in advance.

In fact, it’s not much, just three pages, and the idea is really catchy. The role of the male lead is also full of contradictions and drama.But Ji Yueze has never acted in any comedy roles in his two lifetimes. He is worried that he will not be able to handle this character who is frivolous and exaggerated on the outside, but kind and soft on the inside.

After the show ended, the others left first. Hong Weichen's group of gentlemen offered to send him home. He was about to politely decline, but Shen Zhengli refused for him first, "I'll send him off. Ming Shen has an explanation. I have to take the People are watching closely."

Sitting in Shen Zhengli's car, he sorted out his chaotic emotions and said to the other party: "Brother Shen, thank you for helping me so much. But I really can't do it. I haven't acted in a movie before, and it's the first time for me to be the male lead." , this is a bit too much... and this role is difficult, I'm afraid I'll screw it up."

Shen Zhengli smiled back at him, "We're not afraid, if the show fails, we'll treat it as a joke, and we'll recruit a team to shoot the next one. It's just a matter of finding a few people to pay for it. There are so many nouveau riche, and we can't finish it."

He couldn't help laughing and crying, this Shen Zhengli was really cynical, but when he thought about the dream he was fighting for, it was just a word of "play" in the eyes of this kind of person, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he continued to decline after deliberation, " Brother Shen, you don’t get rewarded for nothing. I get your benefits for nothing, and I feel uneasy. I am very serious about acting. This is my career. I hope that every role can be played well in a down-to-earth manner, and I don’t want to waste investors’ money. Money, and I don’t want to waste such a good idea.”

Shen Zhengli was very patient, and only glanced at him after he had finished speaking, "Since you are serious, you should act well, and don't let it go badly. I watched some of your previous plays, and they were not bad. It's not that you can't praise them. .To be in this circle is to fight for resources, and your elder brother Shen is holding the resources to give you, and you still talk so much nonsense?"

The tone was a little harsh, but it also carried a sense of intimacy. Even if it was hypocrisy and other intentions, it was difficult for him to defend for a while.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Shen Zhengli laughed and teased again, "Why, are you angry? Don't be so stingy. You say you don't get paid for nothing, and if you make me look good, that's a great achievement. If you look at the whole country, you can make Brother Shen There are not many people who are pleasing to the eye."

He was actually coaxed into laughing, and when he was about to answer, Shen Zhengli's face suddenly turned cold, "There is a car following behind, don't look back."
