In the city [entertainment circle]

Going upstairs with the things he brought back from the supermarket, Shen Xiao found someone in his home.

He opened the door and saw Zhang Lin busy in the living room.

"You're back. I don't think you have anything here. I've prepared something to drink." Zhang Lin said and turned around, then looked at the shopping bag in Shen Xiao's hand with a ghostly expression, "Have you gone to the supermarket?"

"It's not good to neglect the young master of the Li family." Shen Xiao said indifferently, and threw the key into the key box at the door. He looked at his watch and found that it was getting faster now, "Master Li is coming soon." .” He handed the shopping bag in his hand to Zhang Lin, “I’m going to change clothes.”

Zhang Lin had a thankful expression, he was really afraid that Shen Xiao would wear this old man's padded jacket to meet Li Ruosen.

Walking into the bedroom, Shen Xiao searched the closet for a long time, and finally found a black turtleneck sweater that he bought before. The heating in the room was already turned on, so there was no need to wear too much. He looked at his pants, and felt that it was unnecessary Instead, he wore glasses, tidied his hair a little and came out.

And Zhang Lin in the living room was about to faint.

"You don't look like a star at all!" Zhang Lin was about to scream.

"I was originally a performer." Shen Xiao said indifferently, he sat on the sofa, "I went to the supermarket just now, and no one recognized me. How can a star that no one knows be called a star, at most it is a show Worker." He signaled Zhang Lin to pour himself a cup of hot water, "Are you still leaving?"

Zhang Lin rolled his eyes, "I'm leaving now." He put the water glass in front of Shen Xiao, "Don't let him drink boiled water with you later."

"Maybe people like to drink boiled water." Shen Xiao said, "I also prepared a few bottles of mineral water and sparkling water imported from abroad. Don't rich people like to drink this?" He signaled Zhang Lin to leave But when Zhang Lin just picked up the bag on the sofa and was about to leave, the doorbell rang.

It was the doorman downstairs who said someone was visiting.

After being let go, Shen Xiao looked at Zhang Lin who was facing a formidable enemy, "Are you so nervous?"

"You don't know, the company just recently discussed a cooperation with Li's family, and plans to invest in a TV series together." Zhang Lin said a little fidgeting, and he looked at Shen Xiao nervously, "You really don't want to change clothes?"

"I have long passed the age of selling my appearance." Shen Xiao said, "To them, I am already an old man."

However, he did not know about the cooperation between the company and the Li family, "When did the company become interested in TV dramas?"

"It's not that you don't know about the rise of video sites now." Zhang Linxu muttered, "It doesn't mean that TV dramas will make more money, but at least they can sell for two sums. Video sites and TV stations, and how many rounds of TV stations can sell, isn't it all Money, movies are pretty good, but there are too many movies that are losing money, and now the cost of publicity and distribution is so high..." He glanced at Shen Xiao, "You don't care anyway."

He really doesn't care, Shen Xiao thought, anyway, his movies can barely pay back at most, they are all released on a small scale, with almost no announcements, just filming quietly, wrapping up silently, and filming quietly Released... until one day it finally won an award, others realized that there is such a movie in the world.

Thinking about it this way, it's not easy for him to still be in this circle now——

Ding Dong

Doorbell rang.

Zhang Lin's face was turning pale, Shen Xiao had no doubts at all, as long as there was an opportunity, this man would be so nervous that he would vomit immediately, and he could only walk over and open the door by himself.

Then I saw a middle-aged man.

Then he lowered his head and saw the young man in the wheelchair.

He said earlier that this young man looks a bit too good-looking, and now he is wearing a camel-colored overcoat with a black round-neck sweater inside, trousers of the same color and Chelsea boots underneath. The appearance of money.

He stepped back a little, and the middle-aged man pushed him into the house.

Shen Xiao looked at them, Zhang Lin next to him had already come up, muttering some polite words, but Shen Xiao just folded his arms, leaned against the wall, and looked at the young man in the wheelchair——

The second young master of the Li family, Li Ruosen.

From just now to now, Shen Xiao finally thought of a word to describe Li Ruosen in his eyes.

dignified.

like what?Just like the lady of a rich family raised in a deep boudoir in the past, she looks dignified and boring.But Shen Xiao himself is a boring person, so he just sighed like this.

Of course, he also knew that if anyone knew that Li Ruosen looked like a young lady in his heart, there must be some people who were going to teach him a lesson.

"We meet again." Shen Xiao walked over and held out his hand.

Li Ruosen looked up at him, then reached out and took his.

Really white, Shen Xiao thought, looking at Li Ruosen's paler complexion under the light, he felt that this person must seldom leave the house.

Also, after all, the body is inconvenient.

He held Master Li's hand as if he had never done rough work in his life, and shook it.

Li Ruosen turned his head, and the middle-aged man immediately said, "Mr. Shen, the young master wants to talk to you alone."

Shen Xiao glanced at Zhang Lin who was desperately winking at him, "Go to my studio." He walked over and stood behind Li Ruosen, "Young Master Li, do you mind?"

Li Ruosen shook his head.

Shen Xiao pushed Li Ruosen to his studio.

In Shen Xiao's studio, there are still woods that he has not cut, which looks a bit disorganized, and he doesn't care that this side of himself is exposed to Li Ruosen, after all, in his consciousness, he and Li Ruosen are just strangers .

He pushed Li Ruosen to his work desk, and then sat on the chair by himself, "I forgot to ask what you want to drink." He said to himself.

Li Ruosen shook his head.

"Don't drink?"

Li Ruosen seemed to want to say something, but he seemed to realize that Shen Xiao couldn't understand, so he took out his mobile phone and typed on it.

[No, thank you Teacher Shen. 】

"You call me Teacher Shen?" Shen Xiao looked at Li Ruosen in surprise.

Li Ruosen nodded shyly, 【I like teacher's movies very much. 】He smiled at Shen Xiao, with a slight dimple on his cheek.

"What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Shen Xiao felt that this Young Master Li should smile more, although he usually looks good, but because he is too dignified, he always feels like a dummy, and he is much cuter when he smiles.

[I know that the teacher is preparing a movie about craftsmen recently. ] Li Ruosen slowly typed on the phone, 【I want to participate in this movie. 】

"What do you mean?" Shen Xiao frowned, he was quite serious about the movie, "Don't call me teacher, it sounds awkward."

[Do you know that the film's investment went wrong? ] As expected, Li Ruosen was obedient and did not call Teacher, but changed his respectful title.

"what is the problem?"

[The original investor may not have enough funds, and is now looking for a partner. 】Li Ruosen said, 【It's not very convenient for me to type, Uncle Zhong will discuss this matter with your agent in detail. 】

Shen Xiao looked at Li Ruosen, he was not sure what the idea of ​​this person was, he was not the kind of actor who could afford to pack up or make a box office, even his movies had nothing to do with the box office, supporting them to the end , can only be said to be ridiculous feelings and love.

Shen Xiao's gaze turned to the unfinished carving on the workbench, which was a flying bird.

Coming and going in a hurry is probably the best description for Li Ruosen's visit this time.

After Li Ruosen left, Zhang Lin hurried to Shen Xiao's workshop, "Did he tell you?"

"He asked you to tell me." Shen Xiao leaned on the workbench, "Is that true?"

"I haven't heard of it." Zhang Lin's expression was a little unpredictable, "But since Li Ruosen said so, it is obvious that he has received the wind..." He walked over, "Does he want to sign you?"

"The Li family's company is a film and television production company, regardless of the artist's agent." Zhang Lin thought that Shen Xiao had also thought about it, so he immediately rejected this idea, "Besides, our styles are different."

"That's right." Zhang Lin said, "The film and television company run by the young master of Li's family has only developed in the past few years. Usually, it only buys IPs adapted from online novels, and it really has nothing to do with you. .”

"What Li Ruosen asked the housekeeper to reveal is that if the Li family is allowed to participate in the investment, they can be in charge of film distribution and theaters."

"Let the Li family participate in the investment." Shen Xiao laughed when he heard Zhang Lin's words, "How can I have such a great ability, the Li family just came to inform me, they came to notify me specially, they also think highly of me."

Shen Xiao also didn't understand what the Li family was doing with such a big fanfare. After all, this kind of investor matter had nothing to do with him as a young actor. The protagonist was changed, and he couldn't say anything.

Not to mention that it is just increasing investment now.

It has nothing to do with him.

If it was ten years ago, Shen Xiao would probably think affectionately if Young Master Li had taken a fancy to him, but now he is 37 years old, not to mention that Young Master Li is much more attractive than himself.

"Take one step at a time." After thinking about it, Shen Xiao felt that he was just looking for trouble, so he simply took out the carving knife and continued to carve his unfinished work.

Li Ruosen had just returned home when he heard that Big Brother Xun was looking for him. He raised his head and glanced at Uncle Zhong who was pushing the wheelchair for him, "... what did you say?"

His voice is a little hoarse, which is completely different from his appearance.

Uncle Zhong was shocked, "Master, your throat has been injured recently, don't talk." After he finished speaking, he saw Li Ruosen's eyes, so he could only nod, "Master, when you go to the supermarket, contact me."

Li Ruosen didn't speak, and let Uncle Zhong push him, and walked upstairs to his room.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Ruosen smelled a strong smell of cigar tobacco. He looked up and saw his elder brother sitting behind the desk smoking a cigar.

The head of the Li family is quite old, he is very majestic when he is not smiling, his hair is neatly pulled back from his head, he has a cigar between his fingers, and he is puffing a cloud at the moment.

Seeing Li Ruosen coming, he just waved behind him.

Uncle Zhong left knowingly.

In the huge room, only the two brothers were left.

"Meet your Teacher Shen?" Li Zhengying spoke, his voice was the same as his appearance, majestic and low, making people feel fear.

Li Ruosen just pushed the wheelchair by himself, leaned in front of the elder brother, and then looked at the elder brother behind the desk.

There was already a wrinkle in the corner of his eyes, Li Ruosen thought, he took out the pen and paper on his desk, [I see. 】

Li Zhengying looked at Li Ruosen, "How does it feel to go out?"

Li Ruosen felt suffocated by the lingering tobacco smell, 【Ms. Shen is very kind. 】

"In your heart, he is naturally good." When Li Zhengying said this, there was no emotion in his tone. He stretched out his arm and grabbed Li Ruosen's hand, "The nails have grown."

"During this time, don't go out." He said self-consciously, took out a small nail clipper from his pocket, and began to trim Li Ruosen's nails, "You are not in good health, and your throat is hurt. Hurt, I will ask Mama Wang to cook some soup for you."

His movements are very skilled. When he was talking, he quickly trimmed Li Ruosen's nails, neatly, no more, no less, "As for Shen Xiao... Let your brother contact him."

"You don't go."

He trimmed Li Ruosen's nails, took a hand cream from the table, squeezed some, and applied it on Li Ruosen's arm, "You are not in good health, you can't compare with your brother." He paused, " I promised your mother to take good care of you."

His eyes drifted to the table, a woman holding flowers and laughing, "I have to do it."

Li Ruosen nodded, then took out the mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Li Zhengying.

Li Zhengying glanced at it, then put it in her pocket, "You really don't need to use your mobile phone at home, so tell Wang Ma what you want to buy."

He came out from behind the desk, and hugged Li Ruosen to a soft bed not far away, "You rest for a while, when it's time for dinner, I'll ask Mama Wang to call you."

After speaking, he left Li Ruosen's room with his mobile phone and the smell of tobacco all over his body.

Li Ruosen turned on the TV in the room in silence.

What was on the screen was Shen Xiao's award-winning new movie.
