Eat this toad [Entertainment]

Bai Pu changed into casual clothes, stood in front of the huge full-length mirror at the entrance, and looked at himself carefully.

He remembered that someone seemed to have said that placing such a large mirror in the entrance is not good for Feng Shui.But he needed such a mirror so badly.If he can't see his impeccable image every time he goes out, his heart will be like hanging on a frying pan.

When he picked up his phone to check the time, he subconsciously counted the number of years since his debut.His age was just right for other industries, but for idol artists, he was indeed not young.

There is a cruel fact that he has to face up to—even though he has worked hard for many years, today he is actually empty-handed.

Of course, he is rich and popular.No matter how poor the reputation of the idol drama he starred in, there are countless "girlfriend fans" rushing to pay for him.The advertising contract he accepted can be scheduled until next year.

But only he knows that the extravagant lifestyle makes the green clams in his purse flow faster than water.If one day, his income can no longer support his consumption level, his account will immediately collapse like an avalanche.

A while ago, a friend advised him to change his career to invest and get a dividend. He doesn’t have to work as hard as an actor, but the money he earns is not the same order of magnitude.He was tempted, but after he went back, he did the calculations and found that all his movable assets were not enough to get started.In case of loss, it can almost be called bankruptcy.

As for popularity, it is even more unpredictable quicksand.

Brother Liu said to him more than once, "What you have to do is to attract your fans, but you don't need to like them. When you became popular, it was these people who lifted you up to the sky. Your personality collapsed, and you It is this group of people who are trampled to death."

Bai Pu thought so deeply.In this circle for so many years, he has seen countless fans who turned their faces faster than turning the pages of a book, and he has also seen countless artists who set a disastrous end to collapse.He likes a metaphor very much: the entertainment circle is like a tower of Babel.As you pass through the tower layer by layer, you will see countless beautiful scenery.Anyone who climbs here will mistakenly think they have it all.But in fact, these are just passing clouds and do not belong to any one person.Only by following this tower all the way up to the sky and reaching the upper class of society can one be regarded as a true fruit of cultivation.

Taking a last look at himself in the mirror, Bai Pu picked up his phone and went out.

A private club, tennis court.

Xie Zixin and Brother Liu seemed to have just finished a game, and they were standing on the sidelines with rackets and talking and laughing.

Xie Zixin is a tall, thin, handsome guy with long hair, thin shoulders and narrow waist, and a feminine temperament.Seeing Bai Pu, he turned his body slightly, a pair of slender almond eyes squinted over, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

He is obviously a man, but he has a more penetrating charm than a woman.Looking back at her figure, she suddenly has a graceful figure in green clothes and long sleeves, comparable to an actor in the Liyuan.

"Young Master Xie, Brother Liu." Bai Pu greeted him pretending to be relaxed.Although he had already had a meal in another clubhouse before, he still couldn't figure out the temper of this young master Xie, he always felt that the other party was hot and cold, and sometimes cloudy and sunny.Sure enough, his mind is impermanent as the saying goes, erratic like catkins flying in the wind.

"A Pu, come play a game with Master Xie." Brother Liu laughed, "I was talking about you with Master Xie, saying that you have good golf skills."

Xie Zixin put down the beat, and said calmly: "I'm tired today, so I won't fight anymore."

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette, but didn't light it, just played it between his fingers.

Bai Pu looked at the cigarette without moving.The last time he had a meal, he saw Xie Zixin taking out a cigarette, and hurriedly put on a lighter, but the other party didn't intend to light a cigarette, and just looked at him with a half-smile, which made him very embarrassed.

Later, Brother Liu said that it was Xie Zixin's habitual action. He often fiddled with a cigarette in his hand intentionally or unintentionally, but usually he didn't smoke it.His mother was from a Liyuan family, and he himself liked opera, so he didn't drink and smoke too much for fear of damaging his voice.

While fiddling with the cigarette, Xie Zixin chatted with Brother Liu, and suddenly turned to Bai Pu: "By the way, I have a question, how is that Su Jinjiang from the crew of "Hongmeng" like?"

An understatement made Bai Pu's scalp explode, and at the same time, there was an unknown fire in his heart.Why does this Su guy stick with his grievances and jump out to get in the way?

Brother Liu reacted quickly, and said with a smile: "A Pu is not in the same group as him, and we haven't dealt with him much. Why did Young Master Xie suddenly ask him?"

"Hey, didn't I just remember it by chance." Xie Zixin straightened his long hair, "I told Brother Cheng about the casting, and Brother Cheng said that this person is quite suitable, but it's a pity that Brother Wang didn't get a match. Go online. I just ask casually, and I never care about casting. "

Upon hearing the last sentence, Bai Pu's heart skipped a beat.Since the last meal, Xie Zixin has never mentioned anything related to the movie. Now he suddenly said that he didn't care about the casting, didn't he just kick the ball out?

Brother Liu took over the conversation, and half-jokingly said: "Young Master Xie said that he doesn't care, but in fact, it's not a matter of your words."

Xie Zixin didn't say anything else, "Let's go eat. The dishes in this club are very distinctive, and the ingredients are very common, but it takes a lot of work. You will know after a while."

Bai Pu walked out with a smile, but couldn't help but mutter in his heart.He was always suspicious that the other party was making an excuse to ridicule him.Ordinary ingredients can be made into expensive dishes through fine cooking skills, and ordinary people can also be packaged into stars through brokerage companies.Judging from the experience of these two meetings, it seems that he does not fall into the eyes of Mr. Xie.

The familiar feeling of anxiety surged up again.For a meal, Bai Pu ate without taste, and had no leisure time to appreciate those complicated cooking skills.

On the way back to the car, he asked Brother Liu with a serious face: "What does this young master Xie mean? He didn't give a quick word once or twice, and told me to come here? If he doesn't like me, let me know." In other words, I, Bai Pu, haven't fallen to the point where I just look at people's faces just for a mere character."

"What are you in a hurry for? You've only had two meals." Brother Liu said, "Eating is just a familiar face, and the kung fu is outside the meal. Young Master Xie invests in more than one film every year, even if this film fails, There is also the lower part. Your reputation is simply uncountable in Young Master Xie's circle. He is willing to ask you to have this meal with us today, which is to give us enough face. Take your time, ah. If Young Master Xie I really want to praise you, your popularity is like a rocket. Look at that so-and-so, and so-and-so."

Brother Liu intended to comfort Bai Pu, but it touched Bai Pu's most tense nerve.

Compared with Su Jinjiang, his biggest advantage is his fame, but this is something that Xie Zixin doesn't value.Su Jinjiang has a similar acting style to him, but he is younger and more handsome than him. He has good looks and acting skills. He can go to the idol group and has greater market potential.If he were Xie Zixin, he would definitely choose to support Su Jinjiang.

Seeing his sudden silence, Brother Liu became vigilant, "What are you thinking? Let me tell you, you don't dare to use your tricks anymore. I think Su Jinjiang's photo shoot is probably done secretly by you. Who did you instigate to make trouble? I don’t want to tell you the truth, don’t really pretend that I don’t know anything. When you were a rookie before, let’s not talk about those nonsense things. Now that you are in this position, there is Is it necessary? The newcomers are like weeds, and you can get rid of them all? You are addicted, right?"

Bai Pu opened his mouth, closed it resentfully, and turned his head to look out the window.

Brother Liu continued: "When you bought Heizi to go to Heiweitan, if I hadn't run around and wiped your ass for you, you would have exposed your secrets at that time. I guess Weitan is holding your handle. He doesn't want to make trouble now, if one day he really gets out of his arms, will you still be in this circle?"

Bai Pu retorted: "There are so many trolls and sunspots on the Internet, so he can't find out."

"Fart!" Brother Liu sneered, "You think everyone else is stupid? You can do it, why can't he find out? Are you a god, and you have no trace of your actions? It's just that everyone is ugly when you make trouble, right? Wei Tan didn't benefit himself, so he suppressed it. It's only been a few years, and you come again. The company can't hold it down every time. If someone pokes out new and old debts, you can't bear it Let's go."

Bai Pu was speechless.

Brother Liu glanced at him from the rearview mirror, "Think about my name more, Liu Yu, Liu Yu! You have to leave room for yourself, you know? You can block the way for Su Jinjiang to develop in the future, otherwise, he will become popular in the future, and it will be difficult for you to be a man in front of him."

Bai Pu went in one ear and out the other, not being wary of being pierced by the words "You are hard to be a man in front of him".Brother Liu's words didn't mean anything else, but to his ears, it seemed that he was saying that he would have to look at Su Jinjiang's face in the future.

When he got home and stood in front of the full-length mirror again, Bai Pu already had an idea.

Since it has become difficult to deal with, then let the other party not be able to become a climate.

No matter which industry, the most convenient way to block all the roads of a person is always to pour dirty water.It doesn't matter whether the content of this basin of dirty water is true or not, and Internet public opinion has always been "suspect".When a rumor cannot be verified or falsified, as long as the rhythm is good, most people will tend to believe that it is true.

In this era, many people hope to become popular overnight.However, there is an unavoidable disadvantage of being popular, that is, the speed of making enemies is faster than the growth speed of true love fans.

Su Jinjiang suddenly became famous, and I don't know how many people with pink eyes are expecting him to be unlucky every day.There are many knives that can be borrowed, and Bai Pu doesn't need to do it himself.When many leaves rang at the same time, no one could find out which leaf rang first.

In contrast, Su Jinjiang's current fan base is still very weak.There are few fans of true love, but many fans of passers-by.As soon as he sees him making a fuss, he will automatically unfollow.Even if a pot of dirty water can't kill him, it will definitely affect his future development.

Bai Pu took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. "Sister Jiao, it's still the same thing. The sooner he is blackmailed, the lower the cost, and it will be difficult to deal with when his wings are stiff. Hmm, do it smartly, and don't let people get in touch with us."

In the evening, the heavy rain came again as expected.During these days, it rained almost every night.

Su Jinjiang locked himself in a hut, and repeatedly practiced retracting and releasing emotions against the dark wall.

Tonight is going to be filming that kiss scene.

In the plot, the "stormy night" curse that has been passed down for a long time in the Chu residence really came true, and everyone in the residence panicked.Faced with the death of family members and the messy situation, Chu Chao lost control of his emotions for a while, and had a conflict with Chu Chen, and finally kissed each other forcefully.

The difficulty of this scene is a bit high, almost the biggest challenge for him so far.For a long time, he has played introverted characters and rarely encountered scenes with strong emotional ups and downs.

There is no problem with the lines, he can recite them backwards.But that feeling never felt right.Chu Chao will play the role of a puzzle solver in the second half of the plot, and this character also has secrets. Therefore, his collapse and explosion are actually still within a controllable range.If the acting is overdone, then his transformation later will not be convincing.

After reading the lines twice more, Su Jinjiang took a deep breath against the wall.

If it was before, he felt that this level of preparation was almost enough.But "Hongmeng" pushed him to a new height, and he needs to show more superb acting skills to match this height.If you are not careful, you will use too much force.

Someone knocked on the door outside, "Are you inside?" It was Wei Tan's voice.

Su Jinjiang knew that he was here for the right show, so he responded, "The door is unlocked."

Wei Tan pushed open the door, but didn't come in immediately, stood at the door and looked at him, "How are you getting ready?"

"It's okay." Su Jinjiang said, "But I always feel that I owe something. How about you take a look for me?"

The two exchanged words, and Wei Tan closed the notebook, "It seems that I owe something, which is different from your usual. Relax, let's do it again."

He answered the words again, still so-so.

Wei Tan said: "That's fine. Not every scene can be the best."

Su Jinjiang sighed, "It has to be like this." Filming may not always catch up to the best state, and sometimes it feels that it is really not good enough, so it can only be done.

Wei Tan flipped through Su Jinjiang's book, and saw that it was filled with marker pens of various colors and marked with many symbols.

"Are you too nervous recently?" He tilted his head slightly and looked at Su Jinjiang, "During the filming of "Hongmeng", you were very stable every day."

Su Jinjiang couldn't tell the other party, that's because he had watched "Hongmeng" too many times, so he could only say: "Maybe it's because Jinjiang Xianjun has a personality like mine, and there is no pressure to act. Chu Chao is too different from me. "

"Really." Wei Tan lowered his head, gently rubbing the edge of the script with his fingertips, "But I don't think so. I think that you used to be trying to play someone else."

"Playing someone else?" Su Jinjiang laughed, "Who?"

"It's not a specific person." Wei Tan shook his head, "Maybe it's my imagined self. You and I may be a bit similar. I told you that I used to be afraid to communicate with people. Because I don't know. , When they talk to me, what kind of response do they expect from me? If my response is not the same as their expectation, will they get bored. The same is true for you in the past. "

He thought about it seriously, "I saw you at the company back then. You were careful every day, leaning against the wall when you walked, very much like me in the past. But I always felt that that was not the real you. "

"You actually peeked at me, but I didn't notice it." Su Jinjiang smiled, and made up an expression picture of [Secret Observation.gif], which was inexplicably cute. "Then what do you think the real me should be? Like Chu Chao?"

Wei Tan lowered his eyes and didn't answer the words, "Do the scene again?"

"Okay." Su Jinjiang pondered those words of Wei Tan.Wei Tan meant that he wanted him to act according to his own temperament?

Su Jinjiang tried to put aside the identities of Chu Chao and Chu Chen in the play, and imagined that the conflict actually happened between him and Wei Tan.Facing the huge change, he was wronged, helpless, and panicked, but a corner of his heart remained strangely calm.However, when this calmness encountered Wei Tan's temptation, cracks appeared suddenly like ice.

"Is it interesting for you to torture me like this?" Su Jinjiang pressed Wei Tan on the corner of the table, and said Chu Chao's lines, "If you want to avoid me, then do it better, don't always be there Comes to me when I'm upset."

"I never thought of avoiding you." Wei Tan said Chu Chen's lines with calm eyes, "In this family, the only person I care about is you."

"Then why, you never want to face me?" Su Jinjiang squeezed the other person's chin, forcing him to look up and look at himself, "If it's not to avoid me, what are you running away from?"

Wei Tan's eyes flickered slightly, "I'm sorry, I can't say."

"Can't say it?" Su Jinjiang smiled wryly, his voice was a little hoarse, "Even if you see me in such pain, can't you say it?"

"..." Wei Tan tensed his body and said nothing.

Originally, this is enough for the play.For the next kiss, according to what they had agreed, they only needed to borrow a seat to shoot.

But Su Jinjiang didn't stop, but pressed Wei Tan's lips with the strength of leaning over.
