A Lonely Tree Becomes a Forest

Successive setbacks made Wei Xiaolin forcefully let go of the breath he had finally brought up, suffocating in his heart, he went back to the dormitory and wanted to sleep with his head covered, but lying on the bed turned over and over, it was Chen Rui's face, and he was all smiles He fooled himself and coaxed himself.And Wei Xiaolin turned around and thought of his embarrassing and difficult situation now, and felt that Chen Rui was too deceitful, and he was too stupid.

Just as he was thinking, Wei Xiaolin's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a while, he picked it up.

"Hello, is this Wei Xiaolin?" There was a nice young man's voice on the other side of the phone.

Wei Xiaolin frowned, hummed, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Xu Xijing. I want to ask if you are free tonight? I want to chat with you."

Wei Xiaolin's heart was raised again, Xu Xijing, the company's "lady boss", his senior, he and Xu Xijing had never had any one-on-one contact, so he didn't know why Xu Xijing was looking for him.Behind Xu Xijing's back, he represents the company, represents the top management of the group, and can even directly represent Mr. Qin's meaning, so if he came to talk to himself, is it an ultimatum?

Responding to Xu Xijing's invitation, Wei Xiaolin spent the whole day in a daze. He didn't know what he was listening to during class, and he didn't know what he was going to do after class. He counted the seconds until the appointed time. Wei Xiaolin finally met It was Xu Xijing who came to the appointment.

They made an appointment at a theater. Wei Xiaolin was waiting at the door. Xu Xijing got out of the car five minutes later. He waved affectionately to the person in the driver's seat and said a few more words before walking towards him and saying: "Let's go, go in first."

There are quite a few people who come to watch the drama these years, Xu Xijing handed him the ticket and asked, "Have you seen it before?"

Wei Xiaolin shook his head honestly, Xu Xijing smiled and said: "As an actor, you still have to watch it. Watching is not enough, and you have to try to act yourself. The audience off the stage is more honest than the audience in front of the screen. Whether you are doing well or not, you will know by hearing the applause."

They checked the tickets and entered the arena. Xu Xijing's ticket was a VIP box ticket, which was separated from the surrounding boxes to form a closed space that faced the stage directly.

Xu Xijing led him to sit down, and said: "If you really watch a drama, the location of the box is not good, and you can't see the actors' movements and expressions clearly, but we are mainly here to talk about things, and the location of the box is more suitable for conversation." After finishing speaking , Xu Xijing whispered again: "Besides, I'm losing weight recently, so it's not suitable for eating and drinking, so I chose the drama theater."

The proprietress is more approachable than he imagined. Wei Xiaolin's nervousness has been relieved, but he is still nervous no matter what he says. He looks at the stage. The curtain has not yet opened, and the audience is entering in twos and threes. Wei Xiaolin has an unspeakable feeling of suffocation.

"Did you know that I was also a member of an idol group before?" Xu Xijing spoke first.

Wei Xiaolin nodded and said, "I know."

"Being an idol is a very proud and selfless profession." Xu Xijing looked at Wei Xiaolin and said, "When you were an idol, many people liked you, but it's not so much that they like you, it's better to say that they like being called by the company." , The you in the combination package is good-looking, exquisite, and represents truth, goodness and beauty, so that many times I will get lost and confused, and feel that the one who is really loved is myself under the package.”

Wei Xiaolin was very smart, he asked Xu Xijing, "What about being an actor?"

"As an actor, you will be able to distinguish clearly. You know that everyone's love for you comes from the role, and you will not confuse yourself and the role. So maybe the public's requirements and constraints on idols will be compared to actors, singers, hosts, etc. The career of an artist is much more stringent, because the love that an idol undertakes is also different."

"So seniors are here to persuade me to bear the pressure and try to restrain myself?" Wei Xiaolin asked.

Xu Xijing shook his head and said, "No, it's not."

He took out a few thin pages of paper from his backpack and said, "I'm here to encourage you, hone your acting skills, and take a broader road in the future."

Xu Xijing pushed those pages in front of Wei Xiaolin, Wei Xiaolin picked them up, and saw that it said "Contract Termination Agreement", which belonged to Party A's signature, and the official seal of Guanghe Entertainment had been affixed.

Xu Xijing handed him the pen and said: "You sign, take away a contract, and the contract with the company is officially terminated, and the company does not want your liquidated damages, but your previous social accounts, album works, including signed contracts but All commercial contracts that have not yet participated, your product endorsement, promotion, publicity, these resource companies will recycle, in simple terms, the company terminates the contract with you peacefully, and you leave the house, is it acceptable?"

Such conditions have greatly exceeded Wei Xiaolin's imagination. In the process of breaking up with the company as he envisioned, he even thought of going bankrupt and paying the company liquidated damages—after all, the business cooperation that was forced to be suspended because of him was finally returned. The company needs to come in and clean up the mess.

Wei Xiaolin looked through the contract, and then solemnly signed his name. Xu Xijing saw him sign and said with a smile: "When I was fighting with the company, Zhao Qi felt that you would not sign, and he always felt that you were a stubborn person. , but I know that you are a smart person. Don't think the company is harsh, at least this is the best result I can get."

Wei Xiaolin shook his head, and handed one of the pages to Xu Xijing. After Xu Xijing put it away carefully, Wei Xiaolin still hesitated and said, "We...we have no contact with each other. Why did senior help me?"

"Because I have also suffered setbacks and gone through detours. I know that the golden period of a person's career is actually very short and very precious. You are so young and have such potential. I don't want you to be like me before, because of helplessness. Stuck in place."

Xu Xijing stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Staying in the company and being an idol who has been hidden by the snow is really a shame. Work hard and don't let me down. I'm leaving first."

Before leaving, Xu Xijing looked back at Wei Xiaolin and said, "And Chen Rui has come to ask me." He blinked at Wei Xiaolin, but Wei Xiaolin didn't respond.

After Xu Xijing left, Wei Xiaolin was the only one left in the box. Looking at the stage from his angle, a beam of chasing light hit the actors, laughing and cursing under the light and shadow.Wei Xiaolin stared blankly. Holding the thin contract termination letter in his hand, he let go of the burden on his heart, and finally shed tears drop by drop, and finally turned into howling in the private room.

Because of Xu Xijing's mediation efforts, although Wei Xiaolin and Guanghe Entertainment had some disagreements in the process, they still broke up peacefully in the end.However, no matter how you look at this contract, Wei Xiaolin has a lot of glory. Guanghe Entertainment is inevitably upset. After the contract was terminated, it did not release any public information. Many people in other companies in the industry still thought that they were holding Wei Xiaolin's contract, so He also didn't dare to strike up a conversation with Wei Xiaolin.

Only the people in the group knew that Wei Xiaolin had terminated the contract, and naturally, Ke Xing also knew about it.

Ke Xing wanted to see Wei Xiaolin, but he was afraid that Wei Xiaolin would treat him coldly if he approached him rashly, so he had to use the name of going back to school to see if he could block Wei Xiaolin in school.

The film school is not big, and Wei Xiaolin has nothing to do, so he starts and ends every day according to the schedule, so Ke Xing will naturally block him sometimes.Ke Xing was blocking the door of the classroom, and the students after class were bustling. Anyone who passed by would give them a second look-the two people who made such a big fuss and became popular, who knows what big troubles are going to happen again, who can avoid curiosity and not pay attention Woolen cloth.

Wei Xiaolin didn't want to be watched, so he had no choice but to follow Ke Xing under his pleading eyes.Following Ke Xing, Wei Xiaolin was extremely depressed. Every time he thought about the overall situation, he was the one who took care of the overall situation. As a result, every time something happened, he was also the one who had an accident, and there was no way to reason.

So seeing that he had left the place where there were many students, Wei Xiaolin stood down and said, "Let's talk here if you have anything to do."

Ke Xing bit his lip, looking very aggrieved, Wei Xiaolin ignored him, he has now figured it out, Ke Xing tricked himself into softening his heart by pretending to be pitiful, and in the end he turned back One army, now he will no longer be soft-hearted towards Ke Xing.

Ke Xing asked: "I heard from my brother that you will never train or participate in activities with us again, right?"

Wei Xiaolin kicked the fallen leaves around his feet, the autumn wind was picking up, and there were already layers of fallen leaves on the campus. He remembered that when he first joined Guanghe Entertainment as a trainee, it was almost the same season. Among the trainees preparing to debut in Guanghe Entertainment Boys Group, they were very low-key. They worked hard for more than half a year before they got on the bus for their official debut. They didn't expect to get off so soon.

Autumn is easy to be sad, but it is easier to get emotional when touching the scenery. Wei Xiaolin's tone is also inevitably a little melancholy. He nodded and said, "Yes, I terminated the contract."

When the answer was confirmed, Ke Xing's eyes immediately turned red, but he curled his lips, suppressed the tears welling up in his eyes, and asked again, "Is it because of me?"

Wei Xiaolin kicked the fallen leaves again, and said, "There are reasons for you, but not all of them." He glanced at Ke Xing's face, and finally couldn't bear to hit him, and explained: "I also feel that my character and mentality are They are not very suitable to be idols, and I am indeed more interested in filming, our matter is just an opportunity, let me figure it out."

Ke Xing smiled, and he stood there, feeling a little desolate, "Then don't you think it's unfair for me to do this? Even if you don't consider me, what about our combination, our team, and our fans ? Everything we have worked so hard together will be completely destroyed because of my impulse?"

Wei Xiaolin was silent for a while, and said: "I'm tired. You just think I'm heartless. I don't want to live in the endless suspicion of a few people. We should have twisted together and worked hard, but we didn't. I The career that consumes youth and time to do, becomes ridiculous and absurd because of some fucking reasons, how can I continue? Maybe it’s because I, the captain, have done too badly. In this world, the earth will not go wrong without anyone, I Withdrawing, the team will be frustrated for a while, but if I stay, it will bring long-term disputes and troubles, it is better for everyone to be relieved."

After Wei Xiaolin finished speaking, Ke Xing did not speak for a long time. In the long silence, Wei Xiaolin could only hear the rustling sound of the wind passing through the autumn leaves.

Just when the silence was long enough to make Wei Xiaolin feel embarrassed, Ke Xing spoke up, and he said: "Brother Xiao Lin, when you first came to the company to practice with us, you had to stretch your ligaments. At that time, you hadn't done well for several years. I have danced, the ligaments that were stretched out because I haven’t practiced for too long, need to be stretched again, we dancers know how painful it is, and you didn’t say a word. At that time, I knew you were a cruel person, but I was wrong The only mistake is, I thought you were willing to suffer because you love that career."

Ke Xing sneered, "Later I found out about you and Chen Rui, and I also thought you had a hard time, that's why you were willing to be teased by him. Who knows, I thought too much, in fact, you just want to be popular, so You can suffer whatever you want, even being fooled by Chen Rui like a fool."

Wei Xiaolin opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but then gave up, there is nothing to refute, anyway, what Ke Xing said is almost the same, explaining it is meaningless.

Ke Xing smiled again, for some reason, that smile made him look pitiful, "Although I already know that you are such a person, I still can't help being cheap, and I come here to look for you again and again, wanting to get close to you again and again , I still can’t help liking you. Now that we’ve talked about this, and things have developed to this point, if you don’t like me and don’t want to see me again, forget it, I will try not to like you your."
