Attack and suffer properly

The caller was very persistent, and the phone kept ringing. Xiao Xiaodong came back to his senses, reached out and picked up the phone on the bedside table, looked at the caller ID, it was Tan Yidong, so he quickly connected Telephone.

"Manager Tan, good morning."

"Aren't you up yet?"

Xiao Xiaodong was stunned, wondering if Tan Yidong had clairvoyance, but he knew that he hadn't gotten up yet, but he said, "Get up now, what's the matter?"

"Did you forget that Tang's commercial is going to be filmed today? Get ready and I'll pick you up right away."

"Understood." Xiao Xiaodong responded obediently.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xiaodong looked at the vacant seat beside him. Tang Junlin had already woken up, and checked the time. It turned out that it was already ten o'clock. No wonder Tan Yidong called to remind him.

Got out of bed, walked into the bathroom, and after washing his face, Xiao Xiaodong suddenly remembered something, and his hands paused.

Just now, Tan Yidong said he would come to pick him up, but he didn't tell the other party that he had moved out of the dormitory.

Thinking of this, he walked out of the bathroom after washing indiscriminately, and was about to call Tan Yidong, but hung up before dialing.

What would Tan Yidong think of him if he knew that he had moved in to live with Tang Junlin?

Do you also feel that he is willing to degenerate, betraying his appearance for the sake of superiority?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiaodong suddenly laughed. In fact, he won the endorsement contract by selling his appearance. What is there to hide?

Then, Xiao Xiaodong thought again, even if he really relied on Tang Junlin for his position, he still has the right to keep others from knowing their relationship, right?

Making up his mind to conceal his relationship with Tang Junlin first, Xiao Xiaodong gave up calling to tell Tan Yidong the address here, changed his clothes indiscriminately, and planned to meet Tan Yidong outside when he called again later.

However, just after Xiao Xiaodong changed his clothes and walked out of the living room, he found that Tang Junlin, who was supposed to go to work at this time, was still at home, and who was he talking to at the moment.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tang Junlin raised his head, saw Xiao Xiaodong walking in, waved to him, and signaled him to come over.

Xiao Xiaodong hesitated for a while, but walked over obediently.

"Senior Tan, then I'll leave Xiaodong to you." Tang Junlin grabbed Xiao Xiaodong's hand as he approached, and smiled as if declaring their relationship.

"Understood, with me here, no one would dare to bully him." Tan Yidong said.

Xiao Xiaodong stared at Tan Yidong in astonishment, a little puzzled as to why the other party appeared here.But soon, he remembered the conversation between Tang Junlin and Tan Yidong just now, so he realized that they knew each other.

Not only do they know each other, but they are also in the relationship of senior and junior.

After that, Xiao Xiaodong followed Tan Yidong to the set to shoot commercials.

"Do you have something to ask me?" Tan Yidong suddenly asked after getting in the car.

Xiao Xiaodong originally thought about how to ask, but now that Tan Yidong took the initiative to open the topic, he took advantage of the opportunity to ask the question in his heart.

"Is it Tang Junlin's intention that you signed me into the Star King?"

Tan Yidong confessed bluntly, "In addition to the relationship between me and him as a senior student, we are also a business partner. At that time, he told me about you and wanted me to make you popular. Over the years, he rarely begged me, I Naturally, it is not easy to refuse, and after that, I will sign you."

The speculation in his heart was confirmed, a complex look flashed in Xiao Xiaodong's eyes, and he remembered something again, and he asked: "You told me that you returned to Star King because you promised someone's request and failed to do so. Come back again, that man..."

"That's right, it's Tang Junlin." Before Xiao Xiaodong could finish asking, Tan Yidong gave the answer directly.

"At the beginning, I promised him that I would try my best to make you famous. However, because of factional struggles in the company, I was on the wrong team and was kicked out. Originally, I was disheartened and planned to immigrate to New Zealand and start over again, but For you, he came to me many times and said that I gave up halfway. In addition, I left too hurriedly before, and there were many things that I hadn't had time to deal with, so I came back. "

After a pause, Tan Yidong glanced at Xiao Xiaodong meaningfully.

"Originally, as an outsider, I shouldn't interfere in the relationship between the two of you. However, I have never seen him work so hard for anyone in these years. He has done many things for you, so don't let him down. .”

Xiao Xiaodong blinked, and really wanted to ask, did you make a mistake, he and Tang Junlin are only in a foster relationship, how could he live up to it?

In their relationship, Tang Junlin is in the dominant position, and Tang Junlin has the final say on when to start and end.

Tan Yidong shook his head, but said nothing more.

Emotional matters have always been between two people, and it is better for bystanders not to intervene.

From his standpoint, he naturally didn't want Xiao Xiaodong to be too emotionally outrageous.

"By the way, I only promise him to help you for another year. If you don't become popular within a year, I can't help you either, because I will return to New Zealand after one year. Don't smash my brand name."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiaodong's attention immediately shifted from emotion to reason.

Only one year?

One year is too short, but if Tan Yidong tried his best within this year and failed to make him famous, he would have no face to stay, and then he would really give up and change careers, stop daydreaming.

"I know, I will try my best to do it within this year, and I hope I won't let you down."

Seeing that the topic has been opened, Tan Yidong will take advantage of the situation to tell his plan, and at the same time make some demands on Xiao Xiaodong, asking him to cooperate with him.

After that, I went to the set and started shooting commercials.

Tan Yidong is a competent manager. During the filming of Xiao Xiaodong's commercial, he followed up the whole process, which is completely different from Zheng Xi'en. This made him feel at ease and confident that their cooperation will pay off within a year.

I once had the experience of filming an advertisement, and with Tan Yidong sitting on the sidelines, the filming went very smoothly. I thought it would take two days to finish the filming, but it turned out to be finished in one day.

After shooting the last film, Xiao Xiaodong walked up to the director and watched the replay with him to see if there was any improvement in his performance.

Xiao Xiaodong's attitude is very good. He felt that one or two shots were not shot very well, and he was willing to retake it. The director also appreciated his serious and responsible attitude, and said with emotion:

"Xiao Xiao, you are different from those little fresh meats now. Don't ask them to retake the shoot. I tried it once. I won't say the name. The man came to the set dressed beautifully and told me that today He didn't change the costume, he just wore the suit because the costume was too ugly. Xiao Xiao, I am optimistic about you, your future success will definitely be higher than them. "

"The director has won the award." Xiao Xiaodong smiled modestly. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that Tan Yidong was holding a mobile phone and went to the corner to talk on the phone. His expression seemed a little excited, and he didn't know what happened.

After filming, Xiao Xiaodong got into Tan Yidong's car and went home.

"Brother Tan, I saw you talking on the phone just now, is there something wrong?" Xiao Xiaodong asked while drinking mineral water.

"I just want to tell you about this. I just received news that Director Feng's "Peach Blossom" has encountered financial problems. He is looking for new investors. I have read the script of "Peach Blossom". His production team There is also a guarantee, if you have a role in this film, you will definitely be on the list at the awards ceremony at the end of the year, of course, whether you want to accept this film depends on what you and King's Landing think." Tan Yidong said.

Xiao Xiaodong was stunned for a while, he didn't understand what this matter had to do with Tang Junlin, and then he reacted.

Director Feng has a problem with his capital chain now. As a newcomer, he wants to participate in Director Feng's play, and the condition is naturally that he brings funds into the crew.

"If I want to participate in the show, how much do I need to invest?" He asked casually.

"It's conservatively estimated to be 1000 million." Tan Yidong took it for granted, but Xiao Xiaodong was dumbfounded.

Why is it that 1000 million yuan is only [-] yuan in Tan Yidong's mouth?

"It's so much 1000 million yuan, even though it's the leading role, it's too outrageous, isn't it?" For ordinary people like him, 1000 million yuan can't be earned even in a lifetime.

"Who said playing the leading role?" Tan Yidong glanced contemptuously, "Nowadays, those big-budget works don't cost hundreds of millions of dollars in production costs. With 1000 million yuan, you are already lucky to be able to play the leading role. If it weren't for Director Feng now If you can't find an investor for a while, and you don't have 6000 to [-] million on weekdays, you don't even want to be the male lead."

Xiao Xiaodong, who was despised, said in a low voice: "Those high-priced production fees are also divided up by those first-line artists. If you don't invite such expensive high-priced artists, you can shoot a good movie with tens of millions."

When he first entered the industry, the value of an artist was not as high as it is now, and the production cost was not one-fifth of what it is now, but the works he produced were not much worse than now.

"Then you don't want to shoot anymore?" Tan Yidong asked.

Xiao Xiaodong's lips parted, and he asked himself that he wanted to make a film, but it involved so much money, he really couldn't ask Tang Junlin to invest.

As if to see through his mind, Tan Yidong said meaningfully:

"This 1000 million may be an astronomical figure to you, but to Tang Junlin it is just pocket money. If it is helpful to you, I believe he will be happy to give it to you. Or, if you change your mind, these are the early stages It's just an investment, when you become popular, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn back the money?"

The reason Xiao Xiaodong understands is that some popular stars can easily earn tens of billions of dollars by shooting a few commercials, taking on a few commercial performances and TV dramas, but the premise is that he is going to be popular.

"Investment is risky. If I don't get popular no matter what, wouldn't all these investments be in vain?"

Tan Yidong rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile: "With me behind the scenes, how can you not be popular?"

Is this questioning his ability? Before he became the top executive of the company, he brought out several superstars.

Even if Xiao Xiaodong is a piece of rotten wood, he still has the ability to turn rot into magic.

"I was wrong. With Tan Sheng around, I will definitely be popular." Xiao Xiaodong said kindly.

After that, the two didn't discuss this issue any more. After returning home, Xiao Xiaodong didn't mention this matter to Tang Junlin.

Knowing that Tang Junlin had done so many things for him silently behind his back, Xiao Xiaodong already didn't know how to face him.
