Daily life of outdated stars

It didn't take long for Xu Jia to hear the news that the company's stock price plummeted. The artists under the company terminated their contracts one after another, and many of them sent their resumes to Xu Jia's studio.

Assistant Zhang asked Xu Jia what she meant, and Xu Jia only replied, "It's a matter of business and treats everyone equally."

The filming of "Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water" was so hard, Xu Jia could still hold on, but the director himself fell ill, and all the crew had to take two days off.

Xu Jia spent one day playing with Bai Lu, and the next day he began to read the notebook that Assistant Zhang sent.

After the explosion of "Rosemary", the quality of the books handed over to him has obviously climbed several steps. Among them are some of the top directors and teams in China. After reading a few books, Xu Jia is not very interested in the subject matter and character design , was about to rest, but accidentally saw a familiar name.

——Su Qin

It's director Su Qin.

Unable to control her hand, Xu Jia pulled out the script directed by Su Qin, the name of which was also somewhat eye-catching - "Ginkgo Blossom 2".

"Ginkgo Blossoms" is Xu Jia's famous work. He won the "Best Newcomer Award" at the first film festival in his life with this film. That year, the film won a box office of 5 million yuan and was known as "the best film of the year". The most worth watching youth movie".

But also because of the "explosion" of this movie, it blocked the way for the capital to launder the money of the film, and laid the groundwork for Xu Jia to be strangled by the capital in the later period.

Xu Jia likes this movie very much, and also likes the director of the movie, Mr. Su Qin.It was a wise elder who taught Xu Jia how to "act well". It can be said that without Su Qin, Xu Jia could not have acted so brilliantly and naturally in this movie.

But Xu Jia hasn't seen Su Qin for a long time.

When he was covered in black material, all the cast and crew were watching, and Su Qin was the first to stand up. He said that it was very regrettable that Xu Jia quit the crew due to health reasons. He had already discussed related matters with Xu Jia, and the follow-up Have the opportunity to cooperate again.

Su Qin did not discuss with Xu Jia, and Xu Jia was grateful for his kindness, and did not stand up to refute him.

The crew he was forced to quit was "Ginkgo Blossom 2".

This movie also suffered a lot of fate. Although a new actor was hired to replace Xu Jia, fans of the first movie were not satisfied with the casting, and they all resisted and said "don't watch it".The blame was naturally placed on Xu Jia. The comments at the time generally believed that Xu Jia had a secret hatred after leaving the crew, and specially invited the navy to discredit the crew.

Xu Jia didn't pay attention to this crew after that, and she didn't pay attention to Su Qin any more.After seeing the script today, he specifically checked it online, only to find out that the actors of "Ginkgo Blossom 2" were "dissatisfied with the bad reviews on the Internet". After filming for a few days, they unilaterally announced the termination of the contract, and then seamlessly moved to another crew. filming.

Su Qin has made several films over the years, and their reputation has been good. Recently, he was interviewed by the media and said that he is getting older and plans to film for another two years and retire early.

Xu Jia opened the script, and after reading only two pages, he remembered most of the following plots - he had memorized the lines by heart at that time, and even had a few scenes with other actors in private.

He was full of expectations and wanted to perform well in this play, but everything came to an abrupt end.

Xu Jia didn't continue to flip through, he put the script where it was, rubbed his slightly sore neck, and went to find his fiancé.

Bailu was playing a jigsaw puzzle. When Xu Jia arrived, he had already completed half of the puzzle. Xu Jia glanced at the jigsaw puzzle and said, "My picture?"

"Yeah, I had someone make a few sets, do you want to play together?"

Putting together his own puzzles, I always felt that something was wrong, but Bai Lu offered an invitation, and Xu Jia didn't want to refuse. He grabbed a cushion, sat on the floor with Bai Lu, picked up the puzzle, and tried to help complete the rest. half.

Xu Jia hadn't played jigsaw puzzles much, but he was smart enough to pick it up quickly. The two of them worked together for half an hour. Xu Jia picked up the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle, handed it to Bai Lu, and said, "You come here!" spell."

Bailu took the jigsaw puzzle, scratched Xu Jia's palm, and filled in the last piece of the pattern.

Xu Jia looked down and confirmed that this picture was a live photo of him at the Spring Festival Gala many years ago - he was out of tune because of the equipment at that time, but the makeup and hair were well done, and it didn't look ugly.

"Are there any other arrangements for the evening?" Bailu asked suddenly.

"No plans," Xu Jia replied, "Going out on a date?"

"No date, but going out."

"Why go?"

"My mother invited us over for dinner."

Xu Jia has encountered many emergencies, but none of them came as suddenly as Bai Lu's lightly uttered words.

His first reaction was that he had heard it wrong, but after calming down for three seconds, he realized that Bai Lu had indeed said this sentence.

"tonight?"

"Yes, tonight."

"I'm going to get some presents."

"It's ready," Bailu stopped Xu Jia calmly, "It's all arranged, let's go have a meal and come back after eating."

"...When did you receive the news? Why didn't you tell me in advance."

"A few days ago," Bai Lu wrapped his hands around Xu Jia's waist, and put his face close to the other's face, "You are too busy filming, I don't want you to worry about it. Besides, you also know my relationship with her No, no matter how hard you prepare, it won't make any sense."

Xu Jia was defeated by Bai Lu's divine logic. He took a deep breath and asked, "Is there any other arrangement that I should know?"

Bai Lu raised his head, stared at Xu Jia for a while, and said, "My father is also here."

"That……"

"But he won't show up and should be looking at you through the lens."

"It's kind of weird behavior."

"Just say you're abnormal," Bai Lu chuckled, "Our family members are not normal, but fortunately, we don't see each other a few times."

Xu Jia thought about his words, trying to comfort Bai Lu, but found that Bai Lu's emotions were not affected at all—he was used to this kind of family, or he had already broken up with his parents emotionally. .

Xu Jia and Bailu are surprisingly similar in this point, if they don't have any expectations, they won't be hurt.

They are like two poor little girls who are holding on to each other. They met by chance, tried each other, and finally huddled together to keep warm.
