A Lonely Tree Becomes a Forest

Chen Rui was also one of the people who sent inquiries. His news was drowned in the vast sea of ​​news. Wei Xiaolin didn't see him at a glance. If Chen Rui sent another message in time, he might be locked in the future by Wei Xiaolin. Read the message.

Wei Xiaolin clicked on the dialogue window with Chen Rui, and it was Chen Rui who unilaterally sent messages to Wei Xiaolin all afternoon:

"Don't worry about the company's affairs. If you want to continue to return to the group, I can talk to Zhao Qi. But I think your attitude is that you don't want to go back again, so don't think so much and let go of the burden. "This news was sent to Wei Xiaolin by Chen Rui after reposting Wei Xiaolin's new Weibo.

Later, because Wei Xiaolin did not reply to the message, Chen Rui probably said to him after seeing Wei Xiaolin's long Weibo post: "Don't pay too much attention to what the fans are doing. You can be grateful to them, but don't obey them in everything. Become someone kidnapped by fans. Be yourself."

Later, Wei Xiaolin remained silent for a long time, and Chen Rui sent another message asking him: "If you are bothered, you can come to me."

The message that Wei Xiaolin saw just now came uninvited after Chen Rui sent three consecutive messages without getting a response.Wei Xiaolin looked at it, and his mood was inevitably a little delicate.Chen Rui is very good at teasing a person's mind through words, and he himself has experienced his tricks, and has been deeply involved in it.But now that the two have been separated for a long time, he is not sure whether Chen Rui's words and actions are out of sincerity or for another purpose.

But no matter what Chen Rui thinks, Wei Xiaolin is too confused now, even if Chen Rui hands over a glass of poisoned wine, he will drink poison to quench his thirst, not to mention, Chen Rui is downstairs, and at this moment, he has nothing but to look for him. There are better people to choose to confide in.

Wei Xiaolin quickly got up and ran to the downstairs of the dormitory. A low-key Toyota was parked at the entrance of the building. When Wei Xiaolin passed by it, he honked the horn at Wei Xiaolin at the right time.

Wei Xiaolin reacted, turned around and got into the car, fastened his seat belt, and asked Chen Rui who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Do you still have such a low-key and simple car?"

Chen Rui nodded while starting the car and said: "Yes. I wanted to buy a car with the first salary in my life, but my salary was not high at that time, and the car was very expensive... Is it showing my age? The car market in the past few years was not as prosperous as it is now, so I kept saving the money, and later used the money to buy this car. Although the car is not very good, it is very important.”

Wei Xiaolin looked around and said, "It looks new, haven't you driven it a few times? Did you specially drive this important car to teach me?"

"It's not enough in class." Chen Rui smiled, "I just care about the physical and mental health of my students."

Chen Rui drove the car straight to his residence, which Wei Xiaolin had never been to before. He parked the car and said, "You are being stared at by many people now, so don't appear too often in public spaces."

Wei Xiaolin joked as he entered the door: "Then if I was photographed entering your house and leaving your house, wouldn't it be more troublesome?"

Chen Rui glanced back at him, then nodded, and said, "I still want to think about making jokes, well, the situation is not too bad."

When Wei Xiaolin entered the door, he realized that this should be Chen Rui's permanent residence. Unlike the temporary residence he had been to before, Chen Rui was full of life here, and there was a chaotic atmosphere in the room. Wei Xiaolin was better I didn't experience the human touch in the days, but I got some experience after entering Chen Rui's house.

Chen Rui brought him some snacks and drinks, dragged out a case of wine from the balcony, opened a can for him and placed it in front of him, saying, "Okay, you can complain now."

Wei Xiaolin took a sip of his wine and smiled bitterly: "There is nothing to complain about, it's nothing."

"Then did you see what I told you before?" Chen Rui asked Wei Xiaolin, "If you want to go back, it's not difficult. You are popular, and you can be regarded as a cash cow for the company. If you let go, the company will also suffer losses. Now it's you guys. Is there any problem in communication? I asked Zhao Qi, and I felt that he was waiting for a step down."

Wei Xiaolin sighed, rested his hands on the back of his head, and leaned on the sofa. He felt strangely relaxed in Chen Rui's place, and said: "As you know, I scolded Ke Xing on the plane and was photographed. When we arrived, things escalated beyond control, and the company wanted to cut the mess quickly and asked me to apologize to Ke Xing unconditionally at the press conference, but I refused." Wei Xiaolin looked at Chen Rui: "I rejected the company's proposal, which means I don't want to Zhao Qi will bend down and pass this step."

Chen Rui actually wanted to ask what happened between Wei Xiaolin and Ke Xing, but he was not sure if Wei Xiaolin would tell him.Chen Rui’s feelings towards Wei Xiaolin are very complicated. If at the beginning he had a desire to conquer Wei Xiaolin, then now he seems to have other emotions towards Wei Xiaolin from this psychology. Wei Xiaolin’s strengths and weaknesses, Wei Xiaolin’s Being cute and reckless, Chen Rui couldn't help but want to care and pay attention.

Chen Rui was silent for a while, and said: "But you don't have to join the team, you are also learning to act, Guanghe is also an actor, and the scripts that Guanghe can get are relatively good, compared to your own singles Fighting alone, of course, it is better to have a company plan for you. Properly bowing your head is not completely useless, you have to think about it later."

Wei Xiaolin didn't come to listen to Chen Rui as a lobbyist. He frowned and said, "Is it appropriate to bow your head? If I bow my head this time, I will go to the press conference to apologize and admit my mistake, which means that I will always bear the burden of pushing out my teammates." The infamy means that I will never be able to hold my head up because of this matter. This is my biggest handle and stain. No matter what I do in the future, this matter will follow me, and I will not be able to run away. Now, Teacher Chen Do you still think this is something I put my face down and bow my head easily?"

Chen Rui and Wei Xiaolin stood at different angles, and of course viewed things differently. Chen Rui understood Wei Xiaolin's entanglement and boredom, and didn't want to add fuel to the fire to make him unhappy, so he said, "What are your plans after that?"

Wei Xiaolin frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Let's study first, I missed a lot of lessons before."

Chen Rui asked him again: "Your contract..."

"Let's go with the flow. If you want to terminate the contract with me, you can terminate the contract. If you don't want to terminate the contract, I still have two years to graduate anyway. There is no rush." ​​Wei Xiaolin took another sip of wine.

Chen Rui really wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't say anything to hurt Wei Xiaolin.Chen Rui is in this industry environment, and no one understands the current market conditions better than him. He knows very well that according to Wei Xiaolin's current conditions, it is very difficult to find a suitable filming.

It's not all about his being fired from the company.When Wei Xiaolin just signed with the company two years ago, Zhao Qi once told him that his stage performance experience and fan popularity are his advantages, but the film and television drama market two years ago is very different from that two years later. Years ago, idol artists with their own fans were the favorites that the crew was chasing. They brought their own trolls to sell Amway, which saved the crew a lot of promotional expenses.

But for two years.The performance of idol artists below the passing level has already made the audience hate it. After several consecutive film and television dramas hit the street, the producer has also recognized the real gold content of idol artists, and understands even more that it is a shame to lose the audience's favor for the small profits of the fans in front of them. Not worth the deal.

Under such circumstances, Wei Xiaolin's artist experience and fan base are no longer an advantage, not to mention he has troublesome contracts, scandals, and negative news. Which crew would dare to take the risk of using him?There is almost no possibility of a good front-line script being thrown at him.Unless someone helps him.

Chen Rui thought for a while, then changed the subject, from the listener to the narrator: "Let me tell you about what happened when I just graduated."

Wei Xiaolin has never heard of Chen Rui's past. According to the legend of the film academy, Chen Rui picked up the annual drama as soon as he graduated, and he has skyrocketed ever since.But when Chen Rui said this, there seemed to be another turning point. Wei Xiaolin looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

"When I was in school, my grades were very good in class, and I got excellent grades and graduation dramas. At that time, we didn't have so many opportunities to take on dramas in school. We could shoot dramas during school, unless the director caught his eye. , or extremely aura, ordinary people do not have this opportunity."

Chen Rui said, smiled, and said: "As you know, I didn't make a movie when I was in college. My teacher always said that I am talented and smart, but there are so many crews coming and going, and no director picks me up." I was very frustrated, and I couldn’t accept this reality. So I spent more time studying professional courses. I always felt that I could do it, but I couldn’t. With this mentality, I made good progress professionally. Many, I also wore a halo when I graduated. Then I received my first play, which is the one everyone knows."

"That work was written by a second generation of my family's family acquaintance. His family was born as a literati, and he is the most incompetent in his generation." Chen Rui said, and then explained smoothly: "By the way, those backgrounds that have been circulated It’s not my family, our family runs a hotel, Zijinwan Hotel.”

Wei Xiaolin knew that Chen Rui's family had a strong family background and was definitely not a small family, but he was still shocked when he heard what Chen Rui said.Zijinwan Hotel is just a facade, Wei Xiaolin scolded with a smile: "How can I introduce myself. I don't want to hear you showing off your wealth, let's talk about the main point."

"The original author said that the character prototype of this work was tailor-made for me, and it was a sincere work that he spent three or four years to complete. When he handed the book to me, the production crew had already completed the preparations. When I joined the group, I started filming logically. But after a month of filming, the original author said he regretted it."

When Chen Rui said this, he smiled, and the smile was full of sourness, and said: "He said that this work was completed according to his impression of me, but now my craftsmanship has covered the original aura, even though I and this The character still fits, but it's no longer a soul fit, it's just like a... how should I put it, like a phone case that fits the phone."

Wei Xiaolin hesitated for a while and said, "I don't understand."

Chen Rui smiled and said: "You don't need to understand this now, you just need to understand that if you have already determined a certain goal, don't change it, don't change the goal, and don't encourage it. Wait patiently, you will Good results."

Wei Xiaolin nodded half-understood, and Chen Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stop talking about these annoying topics, let's talk about something else?"

Wei Xiaolin stayed at Chen Rui's house for quite a long time. He hadn't gotten along with Chen Rui so easily and happily for a long time. During the chatting process, he seemed to have regained the charming side of Chen Rui.

But Chen Rui is always good at destroying the atmosphere. The two chatted until the early morning, and Wei Xiaolin wanted to leave. Chen Rui didn't say anything, got up and sent him to the entrance. When Wei Xiaolin was about to open the door to go out, Chen Rui suddenly reached out and stopped Wei Xiaolin .

He wrapped Wei Xiaolin in his arms, nose to nose with him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't change yourself, let me help you, okay?"

Wei Xiaolin was stunned for a while, then asked back: "The reward is that I sell my body for Teacher Chen to enjoy?"
