Every day I feel like I'm going to be confused [entertainment circle]

Luo Zhun and Xu Liao made an appointment at a tea restaurant, the decoration is mainly casual and comfortable, there are not many people, and the location is quite remote, except for a few scattered seats and semi-open tea halls, almost all of them are private rooms.

"We met for the first time." When he entered the private room, Luo Zhun was pouring tea. He had already ordered the dishes. The menu was not taken away, but left to Xu Liao. It hardly appears outside of food delivery.

At this time, Luo Zhun was still very young, probably only in his 30s, and his eyes were a little dark. It may be because of overtime work, or it may be because he was too busy preparing for a new drama.His depression incident has not passed for too long, and he was even reported by the media to have domestic violence against his father after drinking alcohol, so he has been under the public opinion. It has been less than two years since he returned to the entertainment circle, and his foundation is not stable, but his The ability is indeed outstanding, and he was a gold medal screenwriter who was favored before the divorce and illness.

There are too many places in the entertainment industry to hide their filth, not to mention that Luo Zhun is behind the scenes, so he can't cause a bigger sensation. The major companies can easily cooperate with him, and there is no taboo.

"This store is very clean, and understands the rules very well, and the taste is good." Luo Zhun said casually, chatting with Xu Liao as if nothing had happened, he looked very stable, not like a domestic violence person , not like someone who is overdrinking, well-organized, on the right track, "Congratulations on your new drama coming soon, is there anything I can help you with?"

Xu Liao took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile, "Mr. Luo, I am very grateful for your generosity, but it seems that we haven't met before?"

"Oh..." Luo Zhun seemed to realize something, he was stunned, and hesitated, "You don't know?"

Xu Liao had no clue at all, he had indeed met Luo Zhun, but that was in his previous life, the two of them couldn't get along at all, one surnamed Xu and the other surnamed Luo, they couldn't even say they were a family in 800 years go.It is impossible for Luo Zhun to have a sudden whim and suddenly feel that it is time to smash this piece of pie on Xu Liao's head, and mutual benefit and mutual assistance with him, so he contacted Xu Liao, which is even more impossible than asking Ying Su to dance pole dance .

It is impossible to say that I have never thought about being so popular. After all, according to the market at the moment, it is obvious that only Hong can have the right to choose, and only Hong can do whatever he wants.

But after so many years of dreaming, Xu Liao didn't think that this opportunity meant that he would go straight to the top, and everything would have to pay a corresponding price. He wanted to know what Luo Zhun needed.

"I have no clue." Xu Liao spread his hands and smiled rather bachelorly.

Luo Zhun was a little dumb. He took a sip from his teacup and said gently, "Do you still remember half a month ago when you called an ambulance for a taxi driver?"

Of course, remember, not everyone thinks that they almost met Pengci and found out that it was real, and I don't know which is more creepy, money or murder.

Xu Liao finally came to his senses, if it wasn't for the bad luck, he would have left that old man behind.Judging by his age, the old driver Xu Liao rescued was probably Luo Zhun's father.Although the stars in the entertainment circle are ostentatious, there are very few famous people behind the scenes, let alone family members, so Xu Liao didn't recognize anyone at all, let alone connect all these.

"Oh..." Xu Liao thought for a while, and couldn't help but said, "Oh... is he alright?"

"Very good." Luo Zhun said softly, "He also said he wanted to come and thank you in person."

Xu Liao said: "That's unnecessary, the old gentleman is too polite."

The topic was suddenly chattered to death, and the two fell silent for a while. If someone from the entertainment industry greeted them, there would naturally be a steady stream of things to talk about, but when it came to a random act of kindness, Xu Liao suddenly found it difficult to open his mouth. I don't know what to say, he hasn't done many good things in his life, he can't be called a villain, but he can't be called a good person either, so he is at a loss for what to do, and he feels it is unnecessary to comfort Luo Zhun clumsily.

Asthma is not a very big problem, but an attack is indeed fatal. After thinking about it carefully, he could only clumsily persuade: "Uncle Luo should take more rest and develop other hobbies. After all, driving pollutes the exhaust gas and is not good for your health." .”

Luo Zhun didn't care about the closeness of his address, but just smiled slightly, with a grateful look on his face: "It's thanks to you, I refused to tell the old man before, but this time I troubled you, and I was scared He died, so I plan to retire." He took a sip of tea and said with a sigh of relief, "I really thank you very much, after my divorce... my ex-wife chose a daughter, and I can hardly see her, just My dad is with me."

Xu Liao had heard about this, Luo Zhun was brought up by his father, and he hadn't heard much about his mother.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Liao felt a little strange, couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and said inappropriately: "It can be seen that the two of you... have a very good relationship."

Luo Zhun laughed dumbly and said, "You read those reports, right? It's nothing. You don't have to be so trembling. To others, I'm a scum, and I think I am. During the worst time, I hated myself very much. , I feel worthless, I can't keep my wife, I can't keep my children, I'm a complete failure. My dad... he's the kind of person I always want to be, so every time I get drunk, I hate myself, I hate myself for being useless , the only one who can accompany me is him, and I will extend this hatred to my father."

Xu Liao could understand that feeling, a part of his body completely collapsed, the more disappointed he was with himself, the more disappointed he was with the world, it wasn't any sophistry, he just could understand that feeling of being completely useless, that feeling of being worthless Feeling helpless, as if everyone thinks you are a pile of garbage.

And the only way you can do it is to drink yourself more like garbage, so that you can forget the pain.

"I don't want my father's son to be a waste. After a fight with him, he developed asthma and almost had an accident. From that day on, I stopped drinking and cleaned up myself. He is my only family member." Luo Zhun said His voice was very soft, he raised his teacup as if toasting, "Don't be so puzzled, I can see that you don't really miss me as much as it is written in the report, and you don't call me as politely as others Teacher, secretly calling me a scumbag, to me, it feels quite... well, you saved my dad, maybe we can become friends."

Xu Liao was stunned for a moment, and said, "My honor?"

Luo Zhun laughed a few times and persuaded him to eat vegetables. It seemed that he didn't plan to touch alcohol again. After getting out of the circle, the two of them chatted about some daily chores. Luo Zhun knew something about their company, but he couldn't tell Xu Liao Zhi's trick was to gently persuade him to think of a way out for himself. After drinking as much tea as two large teapots, they finally finished their meal and exchanged numbers.

Luo Zhun still had a plane to catch the next day, so the two broke up straight away.

……

The day before someone treats a guest to a big meal, you can be unscrupulous, but the next day it's your own pocket and you have to control the food expenses.

It was a rare good opportunity. Xu Liao didn't treat himself too harshly. He specially bought a char siew bento and two braised chicken legs. He stared at his various flavors of instant noodles with a sense of ritual, thinking which one was suitable for dinner. Cui Yuanshan came here at this moment. They also took away one of Xu Liao's chicken legs.

He is much busier than Xu Liao. After all, Xu Liao only needs to take care of himself, and he has to take care of everyone in the company. He didn't have time to eat lunch today, so Xu Liao's chicken leg disappeared before he had time to fight for it. In Cui Yuanshan's mouth.

"Good people are rewarded with good rewards." Cui Yuanshan didn't even burp, sat on Xu Liao's small bench without disdain, took a tissue from the table and began to wipe his hands politely, picking up the social etiquette he should have again , and then took out a box of instant noodles from Xu Liao's cabinet with ease, boiled water and waited patiently.

Now add an instant noodle.

Xu Liao silently buried his char siew with rice.

"You're very good, boy." Cui Yuanshan was very happy to fold the plastic fork, and the dehydrated and flattened vegetables were scattered on the noodles, sprinkled with seasonings, and the hot pot was working dutifully, he poked for a while For the bread, he took out an orange from his pocket, separated it together with the peel, and handed half of it to Xu Liao, with a slightly smug expression on his face, "Old Xu, you are very competitive."

"What the hell?" Xu Liao glanced at him, and continued to bury his head in eating his lunch box. He was more casual when confronting Cui Yuanshan. This may have something to do with Cui Yuanshan being a very lively masochist, or it may be because of him. Cui Yuanshan's secret love situation has something to do with it.

Thinking about it this way, even masochists are more humane than Ying Su.

"Didn't you, you really did something good that day?" Cui Yuanshan gasped, as if his teeth were stuffed, he frowned and said, "I thought you went to stay here on purpose?"

Xu Liao concentrated on eating the barbecued pork, and said sullenly: "If I write a diary of good things, I will be famous in history. Is it okay to have a drink in the middle of the night and stay here to help people with asthma?"

"Pay attention to your quality, that's what you said. I also think it's such a coincidence. It can't be that the goddess of luck is following your ass to help you touch the porcelain." Cui Yuanshan pointed at him with a fork, "By the way, Comrade Xu, pay attention You will soon be a new generation of male gods, if fans know that little brother Gu is so disrespectful in private, the influence will be very bad."

"Oh." Xu Liao said, "Okay, let's talk about something."

Ever since Cui Yuanshan revealed the truth about the filming of "One Sided" that day, the other party has obviously become more affectionate to him, which means to make him a confidant, but Xu Liao and Cui Yuanshan have endless gossip, sometimes he can't stand it Cui Yuanshan talked so much nonsense, especially since this person likes to intersperse cold jokes, so he cut off the possibility of nonsense from the beginning.

Cui Yuanshan expressed deep regret for his not being on the road for three seconds, and then he said excitedly: "Your audition is not the same as the premiere, I'm too busy these days, I haven't had time to ask Xiao Su."

"The one with the tomato?" Xu Liao glanced at him, selected the sauerkraut flavor, and casually pulled the skin, "The iron cock is willing to pluck?"

Cui Yuanshan chuckled twice: "You really can guess right, but how do you know Tomato Iron Rooster? It sounds like you have cooperated with them several times."

Xu Liao paused, without changing his face, he said: "...you have a good reputation."

"Speaking of it." Xu Liao hurriedly changed the subject, and said incredulously, "You said that his son earns tens of millions a year, so Mr. Luo ran to drive some kind of taxi."

"Old man, I can't take time off." Cui Yuanshan shrugged his shoulders, with a look of familiarity, "What's more, being in his fifties is not considered old, and he can take care of his hair so that his hair doesn't turn gray. Besides... "

"After all, he is the father of a writer. He experiences life and feels life." Cui Yuanshan said quietly, "Only by writing better stories."

It's a very good story. If Xu Liao had been a wicked person back then and left the driver who delayed his itinerary alone, then it would not only be a story, but his life would be changed directly to the horror route, and he would keep the evil with evil and let him He has directly upgraded from a passer-by to a little villain, Luo Zhun will definitely hold his grudge, and will definitely give him little shoes to wear.

Xu Liao was very calm: "Old Cui, do you think Ying Su hasn't killed you now? Is it because the society ruled by law protects you, or is it because of the friendship between the two of you."

"Of course it's feelings!" Cui Yuanshan said boldly.

The boiling water was already boiled, Cui Yuanshan soaked instant noodles for himself, and put a script on top of it, in the silent silence, said melancholy: "Well, maybe it's the protection of the society ruled by law."

Xu Liao didn't particularly take this matter to heart, he thought thoughtfully, Luo Zhun said those words to him that day, and gave him the chance to audition in advance, presumably intending to directly Return this favor.Step by step in the entertainment industry, sometimes certain things may have been arranged long ago, and some are just coincidences. For Luo Zhun, the matter of indebted favors can be big or small. , there are more places to talk about that matter.

In any case, all kindness and filial piety come first, and if you meet someone who doesn't understand you, you may have some crooked thoughts. Luo Zhun himself gave a big pie first, which is not a bad treatment. .It's fine to eat this cake honestly, but if you are greedy dishonestly, I guess it would be too polite on the other side.

Whether Luo Zhun thought so, Xu Liao didn't know, but he guessed so in his heart.

The reason why I gave an audition opportunity instead of directly giving a "role" was due to this consideration.

Cui Yuanshan wrinkled his nose, burned by the instant noodles, sucked it in for a while before saying to Xu Liao, "But let me tell you something more practical, Luo Zhun, don't believe what is written in the report, he is absolutely sure He is a very rare one, if he confides in you, you will die miserably, this kid has a lot of tricks, you saved his father, he is grateful, but you must not cross the line."

Xu Liao nodded and said, "I know."

"Luo Zhun just came back in the past two years. He doesn't have much power. Several directors didn't get along with him, and deliberately castrated the script to make it look bad. Although the ratings and response were very good, he himself hated the two TV series last year very much. , so when you greet Luo Zhun on the set, you must pay attention to this taboo, don't step on landmines, after his depression improved, his interpersonal relationship in the circle was not good, but..."

"But I can't stay too far away, can I, thank you, I have a solid idea." Xu Liao said, "What has Ying Su been up to lately, and I don't know the details of the audition. Could it be that he didn't succeed?"

"Hey, don't mention it. I haven't met him when I came back today. I sent a message before, but he didn't reply to me." Cui Yuanshan pursed his mouth.

Xu Liao wrote lightly: "No one will answer you, ask you every day if you have eaten, and don't treat guests to dinner."

Cui Yuanshan despised this superficial statement, and quibbled for Ying Su: "You think Xiao Su is like you, he is not someone who will compromise for such a one bite or two."

So Xu Liao looked at him with pity.

Cui Yuanshan said dejectedly: "Well, I would rather he is."
