Daily life of outdated stars

It rained continuously for a whole day yesterday, Xu Jia persisted for a long time, but she still couldn't hold it back, she grabbed the underwear and washed it - dried it and put it in a plastic bag.

After he finished his work, Bailu's news came long after - "No, just throw it away."

Xu Jia laughed angrily, and replied, "It's been cleaned, where's the address?"

Bai Lu wanted to reply, "Throw it away", but Xu Jia's beautiful eyebrows and eyes inexplicably appeared in his brain, and he deleted a few words, and replied, "I'll come over tomorrow, and take the clothes away by the way."

"Then you come in the morning or in the afternoon. I'm going to the gym tomorrow."

"afternoon."

"See you this afternoon."

Xu Jia put down his mobile phone and logged into his social platform with a computer. There were only a few comments in the message reminder column. He clicked on the comments and found that they were all selling movies.

Xu Jia deleted the relevant comments, blocked the commenter, and searched the official Weibo of the web drama he participated in before, hesitating whether to unfollow it.

Forget it, one more attention is not too much.

Xu Jia quit her social account and was about to take a shower when her phone vibrated for a moment—a new message came in.

I opened the screen with my finger, and the news came from the former lead actress of the previous crew. That person's name was Tian Yue. Xu Jia reminded her a few words before, and she quit the crew after getting the money, and she hadn't contacted her for a few days.

She didn't go around in circles, and said bluntly: "I just joined a film crew, and a character actor who was engaged broke the contract. Do you want Brother Xu to come to the rescue?"

Xu Jia entered a string of "Which crew, is it convenient to read the script of the character?", thought for a while, deleted it, and replaced it with "How about the salary", and clicked send.

Tian Yue returned quickly: "The salary is 300 million. It is expected to shoot 50 episodes. The male lead is the third. The characters are good and the team is reliable. This drama can still get stars."

Xu Jia's heart skipped a beat, and instead of coding, she sent a voice directly, asking her, "There must be something going on in this hole, just tell me, and I'll see if I can pick it up."

Tian Yue called back directly and said: "This role was used by Huaxin to promote newcomers before. Who would have thought that the newcomers would participate in the draft and become popular immediately. Now they don't like this role, so they directly broke the contract."

"Isn't it enough to let Huaxin send another person to take over? No matter how bad it is, there are so many people in the circle, and there is no shortage of people."

"Huaxin dotes on this newcomer and doesn't want him to get a reputation for breaching the contract. If the cooperation is cancelled, either Huaxin will breach the contract or the crew will breach the contract. Both parties don't want to take the blame..."

Tian Yue's words were not cryptic, and Xu Jia easily guessed what she hadn't said—neither of them wanted to take the blame, and the public opinion would definitely be directed to the actor who took on the role. There will be less, some Internet "condemnation" will definitely be indispensable, and it may even be hacked on the hot search.After all, in the eyes of some fans, it is only natural that a bad crew is unreliable and they tear it up, but if the star's role is replaced by someone else, they will want to cramp up the stranger who is robbing the role.

"...The situation is like this, Brother Xu, do you want to accept this play?"

Xu Jia glanced at the "Shen Lun" on the bedside, and said in a steady tone, "Go on, who has trouble with money."

"Alright then, I'll push the assistant director's WeChat account to you, and you and him will discuss the details first."

"Thank you very much."

"You don't have to thank me. The director also mobilized us to find someone. If you don't pick up Brother Xu, the worst result is to find a newcomer. But newcomers don't know the rules, and accidents are easy to happen."

Xu Jia chatted with Tian Yue for a few more words before hanging up the phone. Tian Yue pushed the assistant director's contact information. Xu Jia clicked on it and found that the other party's contact information had already been added. They were shooting night scenes a few days ago. He also liked it.

Xu Jia thought about it, and found out that he and the other party had worked together a long time ago. At that time, Xu Jia was playing the lead actor in the crew. The two had a good relationship at that time, and they drank together a few times.

But later, Xu Jia gradually passed away, and the relationship between him and the director gradually faded, and it was really a long time since they hadn't contacted each other.

Xu Jia didn't have any fearless arrogance. He knocked on the director's window and sent a message. The director didn't reply until half an hour later, saying "I'll discuss it with the director tomorrow."

Xu Jia thanked him and was not disappointed. In the past, many friends helped him introduce characters, but after contacting them, the other party had to go through many considerations. In the end, few succeeded and most failed.

He's had bad luck, and he's always known that.

--

The next day.

Xu Jia had breakfast, changed into sportswear, and went for a run to a nearby gym. On weekday mornings, there were not many customers in the gym. Xu Jia was a regular customer, and his personal trainer knew he was good, so he basically didn't bother him. .

After more than two hours of aerobic + anaerobic exercise, Xu Jia took a shower, went to the fresh food supermarket, bought some ingredients, and prepared to cook for the young master who came in the afternoon.

He said he came in the afternoon, and when the door rang, it was already six o'clock in the evening, which happened to be lunch time.

Xu Jia didn't wait intentionally, so she wasn't disappointed. She opened the door and just had a face-to-face meeting with Assistant Zhang who was knocking on the door. The appearance of the street.

Xu Jia opened the door and asked softly, "Will Assistant Zhang come in together?"

Assistant Zhang shook his head and turned sideways to make it easier for his employer to move forward.

Bailu seemed to have just got off work, and he was not wearing a suit, but the clothes were well cut, his hair was smoothed to his ears, and he didn't even wear his usual bluetooth headset.

"Pick me up in three hours."

"Yes," Assistant Zhang replied, took another gift box from the servant below, handed it to Xu Jia, and said, "Young Master Bai ordered me to give you a small gift."

Xu Jia didn't answer, and looked at Bai Lu questioningly.

Bai Lu snorted, took the gift box from Assistant Zhang, and walked directly into Xu Jia's house.

"Bam—"

This is the sound of Bailu directly banging the door.

"Why didn't you accept the gift box just now?" Bailu asked directly.

"Just a little weird."

Xu Jia bent down and handed the slippers to Bai Lu's feet.

"What's strange?"

"You're here too. Assistant Zhang said it was a gift from you at your order."

"Is that weird?" Bai Lu sneered.

"You have been helping me, I should not accept your gift again."

"I thought you didn't like the way of giving gifts just now."

Xu Jia stood up straight and looked at the white deer. He really didn't like it, but it was not suitable for him to say it, so he shook his head with a light smile and said, "How could that be?"

"Then you accepted this gift?"

Xu Jia took it with both hands, and said gently, "Thank you."

"Take it apart and see if you like it?"

Xu Jia smiled wryly: "Isn't it polite to open the present in person?"

"You are my friend, there is no such thing as paying attention to gifts between friends."

Bai Lu was in high spirits, and Xu Jia didn't feel good about it, so he had to unpack the presents wrapped in layers, and when he opened the last gift box, he found a suit of excellent fabric inside.

"Didn't you give me a set of clothes yesterday, and I'll change you a set today. I picked it out myself, and it's not something expensive."
