A Lonely Tree Becomes a Forest

Chen Rui ate at An Zhenhe, but it didn't dispel his curiosity and concern about the whole thing. He contacted An Zhenhe's assistant and asked him if An Zhenhe really planned to let Wei Xiaolin participate in his new film.

If Wei Xiaolin was at the scene at the moment, he would have recognized that the little assistant who met Chen Rui was the other protagonist in the news where he first discovered that Chen Rui and a girl were photographed. It was too short, even if I felt familiar for a moment when I was on the set, I couldn't remember where I saw it.

Chen Rui often meets with An Zhenhe's assistant, Xiao Lun. An Zhenhe is a nostalgic person. Xiao Lun has been his assistant since he just graduated. He has been diligent for more than ten years and is one of An Zhenhe's most trusted employees. one.Because An Zhenhe has been using Xiao Lun all the time, Chen Rui always feels that An Zhenhe will not forget about him, so he always shows off his new love in front of him, trying to arouse An Zhenhe's emotions.

Chen Rui would ask Xiao Lun about An Zhenhe's reaction after each provocation, but unfortunately, An Zhenhe didn't respond.But that was all in the past. Now An Zhenhe met Wei Xiaolin and invited him to cooperate with him.

At this moment, Chen Rui has deliberately ignored the fact that he and Wei Xiaolin had broken up. With a feeling that they could not let the two of them get what they wanted, Chen Rui approached Zhao Qi, the manager of Guanghe Entertainment.

Zhao Qi felt that it was very rare. In the past few years, Chen Rui had never been to the company so frequently as he has been in the company for more than a year. He probably knew about Chen Rui and Wei Xiaolin, but Wei Xiaolin had his own sense of propriety, and he was really a good seed. , Zhao Qi didn't want to interfere.

Chen Rui's reason was very high-sounding. He said to Zhao Qi: "The group is on the rise, and it is time to twist everyone into a single rope and move forward. Individual members cannot be diverted."

Zhao Qi then asked: "Mr. Chen, is he talking about Kobayashi? Although Kobayashi's popularity and influence have a tendency to become the number one super player, the overall popularity cannot be surpassed by the combination. Combination planning is also in the making On the basis of the large combined brand, it will contribute to the construction of the personal image of the members."

Chen Rui retorted in a serious manner: "Of course it's okay if it's the development within the team, but what if you let them go out to pick up jobs? And what if it's private jobs?" Chen Rui moved closer and told Zhao Qi: "You probably don't even know about it. , Xiao Lin has already accepted the role of An Zhenhe in private."

Zhao Qi really didn't know.Generally speaking, the golden development period of a group will not exceed three years. FOREST has been established for one year. Although it is on the rise, for the group FOREST, most of its members have already entered university. Considering the career after graduation Development, the group will begin to release personal resources after half a year at most, and gradually open the door to the personal development of members.

Under such circumstances, Wei Xiaolin, as a member of the popular upper circle, took the lead in making a movie, which is actually nothing.But what makes Zhao Qi dissatisfied is what Chen Rui said about taking private jobs, the company has always treated the members well, Wei Xiaolin would not be like this.

After all, Zhao Qi had been with Wei Xiaolin for more than a year. He knew what kind of personality he was, and he didn't get angry in front of Chen Rui. Instead, he asked him: "Mr. Chen always takes good care of our Xiaolin? What's the meaning this time? Don't want him to pick it up?"

Chen Rui's move hit Zhao Qi's heart, and he began to talk nonsense: "I read the script, but it is not suitable. How can I say it, the characters are too suitable for Xiao Lin himself. I don't know if you understand me when I say that. the meaning of."

Zhao Qi made a gesture wishing to hear more about it, and Chen Rui continued: "Xiao Lin has never been an actor, and as soon as he entered the industry in his first official work, he used a character who was very similar to himself and fit too well. The role will become a label attached to him, which greatly restricts the way forward in the future."

In fact, what Chen Rui said is not unreasonable. For an actor, the limited possibilities are more terrifying than anything else.But the problem is that Wei Xiaolin is an independent individual, and Chen Rui can provide opinions and suggestions, but he has no right to break Wei Xiaolin's way behind Wei Xiaolin's back without Wei Xiaolin's knowledge.

Zhao Qi is not a narrow-minded agent. He didn't take what Chen Rui said earlier, but Zhao Qi was taken aback by what Chen Rui said later about the role.Zhao Qi asked Chen Rui: "Have Mr. Chen read the script? Can you tell me what kind of character he is?"

Chen Rui had already read the script. Before he came to Zhao Qi, he asked An Zhenhe's assistant, Xiao Lun, about the film's preparations.An Zhenhe's new movie is a fantasy blockbuster in ancient costumes. The big frame is the clichéd male protagonist upgrading to fight monsters. The character Wei Xiaolin invites is one of the characters that the male protagonist meets on the way to fight monsters. He is young and talented. Extraordinary, although there are not many roles, he is a very brilliant little supporting role.

This role is indeed attractive, and Zhao Qi also thinks it is very good, but what Chen Rui said is indeed reasonable, whether it is the label attached to the actor or the balance of popularity in the team.After all, if the development momentum of the portfolio is very good, it is not impossible to rise for more than three years.

When Wei Xiaolin was called by Zhao Qi to talk alone, he already had a bad premonition in his heart, and Zhao Qi himself seemed a little difficult to speak, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "Xiao Lin, when you joined the company, it was considered airborne. You know."

Wei Xiaolin nodded and said, "I know. I am also very grateful to the company for letting me debut so soon."

Zhao Qi hummed and said, "You can make your debut. It has nothing to do with why you joined the company or how long you practiced. You see, in China, Japan and South Korea, there are people who have practiced for a few months before debuting and becoming famous." , There are also those who have practiced for several years and still haven't made it to the top, debut is a combination of many factors, you can debut, it shows that you are really good."

Wei Xiaolin smiled and said in a low voice, "Brother Qi, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Zhao Qi coughed and said, "Then I won't beat around the bush. You are excellent, and the company is willing to make more popular and more customized plans for you in the future according to your qualifications, but now, as the member of the group A member must obey the group."

Wei Xiaolin didn't seem so sad because he already had some kind of psychological suggestion, but he was still a little frustrated and unconvinced, he struggled with Zhao Qi: "Brother Qi, it's just a cameo, a very small role! "

"Maybe An Dao told you that it is a very small role, but when the movie starts to be promoted, your participation will be infinitely magnified. You are no longer unknown, you are a member of a popular idol boy group, your teammate What if we all imitate you? Even if everyone shoots small roles, we can’t run the combination anymore.” Zhao Qi patted him on the shoulder: “Because of the team, you have a certain reputation personally, so for the team , but also to sacrifice some opportunities, the gains and losses are directly proportional."

Wei Xiaolin stood there blankly, he didn't even know how to react.After all, he was young, and he was stunned by such a big reason. If Wei Xiaolin was more mature, at least he wouldn't lose his composure like this.But now, he was too blocked and awkward to react.

Not long after the conversation between Zhao Qi and Wei Xiaolin was over, Wei Xiaolin received a message from An Zhenhe: "Xiaolin, I just received news from your company and rejected this movie for you. There is still a chance next time, I hope you can still act in my movie, and by that time, I hope you have grown into an independent and powerful individual."

Losing a role was a huge blow to Wei Xiaolin, especially when he thought he had reached a new level, but he missed it. This feeling made Wei Xiaolin stunned.What's more, the cooperating person is An Zhenhe, a big director who everyone in the circle wants to be connected with. As long as he is an enterprising artist, there is no one who does not want to cooperate with An Zhenhe. Wei Xiaolin has clearly left So close, but suddenly lost, the frustration in it is by no means easy to adjust.

Ke Xing was the first to discover that something was wrong with Wei Xiaolin.

As the dancer in the team, Ke Xing often acts as a guide during private practice, so he is used to observing the status of the members.When looking at Wei Xiaolin, Ke Xing keenly noticed that Wei Xiaolin was a beat and a half slower than everyone else, and his movements were also very weak, like a walking dead without soul.

During the break, Ke Xing sat next to Wei Xiaolin and said, "Brother Xiaolin, come out with me to have a hair dryer."

Wei Xiaolin was so blocked that he no longer had any thoughts of his own, so Ke Xing followed him out.Ke Xing took Wei Xiaolin to the roof of the top floor. He supported the railing and said, "Brother Xiao Lin, I, whenever I have something unhappy, I like to come here the most. Even if I don't do anything, I am alone in a quiet place." Just wait, and it will calm down slowly."

Wei Xiaolin looked into the distance, and said unrepentantly, "Standing so high, and there is another person, aren't you afraid to jump off by yourself?"

Ke Xing froze for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Brother Xiao Lin, you still have the ability to think! Let me be honest, among all the unhappy things I have, there is nothing that makes me want to jump off. You I thought, I must be unhappy because I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled, how can I be reconciled after jumping down?"

He glanced at Wei Xiaolin, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "It's a bit like a tongue twister, but that's what it means, Brother Lin, I don't know what happened to you, but I think you in my impression should be very Positive, can cheer up quickly, keep the green hills, not afraid of no firewood."

Ke Xing is really young. Although he is not a few years younger than Wei Xiaolin, his vigor seems to be inexhaustible. The kind of vigor that has not experienced setbacks and disappointments makes him look shining.

Wei Xiaolin couldn't help but said, "Ke Xing, I really envy you."

Ke Xing was surprised and said: "Really? I have nothing to envy! My grades are not good, and I can't do anything else except dancing. Unlike you, brother Lin, you are handsome and smart. What are you doing?" I can do well. When I was a captain, I looked like a captain. When I was a student, I was a university bully. I can take care of my work as an artist and get high grades in my studies. Hey, you don’t know how envious I am. you."

Regardless of whether Ke Xing's words came from the heart or contained comforting elements, Wei Xiaolin must admit that he was indeed comforted by Ke Xing. He rubbed his face that was a little stiff because of frowning all the time, and sighed. Said: "It's me who got into the horns of my own horn, a little hypocritical."

Wei Xiaolin comforted himself in his heart. It seems necessary to sacrifice himself for the sake of the group. Although he always feels that he is good, there is always something to learn from his teammates. People get along with each other, understand each other, and learn from each other. Maybe we can be better Good condition to wait for a better opportunity.

Wei Xiaolin took out his mobile phone and replied to An Zhenhe: "Thank you Director An, I will continue to work hard."

An Zhenhe heaved a long sigh when he received Wei Xiaolin's reply letter.
