reborn star
Chapter 14 Dinner
The role of the prince's guard ended within a few days. Specifically, he died protecting the prince during an assassination of the prince.
Afterwards, the scenes about Li Mingrui were all intervened by Sun Weiruo. The only thing he was lucky about was that the salary was paid according to the originally negotiated price, which made him feel a little comforted.
This was the first person he offended under the circumstances of being careful in the entertainment industry. He was very puzzled why this man could not get along with him. He was not famous and could not hinder his stardom, and he worked hard to help him take care of many things. , it stands to reason that he should be able to handle the relationship well, right?
Instead, they ended up with a very bad relationship.
On the other hand, the actors who played princes, ministers, princes and princesses would never lift a finger for Sun Wei, but they made him take the initiative to get close to each other, even if there were occasional frictions, they quickly returned to normal, let alone almost violent.
This incident made him understand that some people won't get his approval just because you are careful and patient.
Some people, when there is a gap in your status, no matter how many acts of kindness you do, you will be taken for granted. Even if you think that everyone is equal and he is not one level higher than you, that is just what you think.
It wasn't until a long time later, when all the movies and TV dramas shot by Li Mingrui were edited together, and fans frantically clicked and reposted, that people noticed the man who blocked Li Mingrui's shots several times, and angrily reprimanded him.
It's just that at that time, Sun Wei had disappeared from the entertainment industry for a long time.
In the next few days, Li Mingrui went to find the producer Wei Ziheng, teacher Wei, but he couldn't find anyone, and they all returned in vain.
After playing the prince's guard, he played a thug of the underworld boss, wearing a suit and sunglasses, standing among a group of people dressed the same as him, and it was almost impossible to tell who was who.After the filming of this kind of role, even the name will not be on the screen, and it can only earn a meager income, which is useless for gaining fame.
Li Mingrui was also very helpless about taking this kind of play, anyway, it would not take too long to make a little money, just when he was a little impatient but helpless, the legendary opportunity came to him.
He was hit by a sudden opportunity, and it was given to him by Fu Xian.
Fu Xian originally received a script to play a character in "Standoff". "Confrontation" mainly tells the contest between the police and gangsters for many years. The gang of criminals committed many major crimes in the north and south of the country for more than ten years, but they managed to escape from the police's siege again and again until they committed crimes. The gang came to the place where the protagonist was. As an upright and resolute policeman, the protagonist led the police force to confront them many times. During the confrontation, he lost his relatives. In the ending, he won infinite glory.
The role that Fu Xian was supposed to play was the male number two, the underworld leader.It can be said that considering Fu Xian's popularity in the entertainment circle, he was lucky to have the opportunity to make this movie.
However, he gave up, really gave up!
Fu Xian sat on the chair with a frank look, and while being put on by a makeup artist, he lazily said: "Actually, I like this movie very much, but I can't help it. My schedule is already over. If I signed the contract, if I break the contract at will, I will be punished." Spending money, after thinking about it, you and I are artists in the hands of a manager after all, recommending others is worse than recommending it to you, anyway, your acting skills are good, aren't you, why, I can't believe it?"
"There are some." Li Mingrui said hesitantly.
He was always wondering what Fu Xian'an's intentions were, were they close?It didn't seem to be the case, he even felt that Fu Xian was somewhat resistant to him, but seeing his frank appearance and what he said made sense, he couldn't help doubting his villainous heart.
"Aren't you good at everything? Good acting, good looks, good popularity..." Fu Xian chuckled a few times inexplicably.
Li Mingrui could hear Fu Xian's reluctance, maybe it was because he was really reluctant to part with the money for breaking the contract, or maybe he wasn't suitable for this role?But think about it carefully, it is worth losing money for a good movie, Fu Xian should know what is more important, will he give up for no reason?
He suppressed his puzzlement and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you then." If it was really confirmed that Fu Xian gave him this opportunity, he would really be grateful to Fu Xian.
Fu Xian glanced at him up and down. Li Mingrui was uncomfortable with that purely scrutinizing gaze, so he only heard him say: "Of course, the opportunity didn't come for nothing. I just showed you to them and have a meal together. Whether you can be appreciated at the time depends on your performance."
"Don't you want to audition?"
Fu Xian sneered: "There are a lot of people who want to audition. Is it because you can do it if you want to audition without anyone's support?"
"I understand." This Li Mingrui understood.
"However, let me remind you that it is inevitable to drink some wine at that time, and it is inevitable to talk drunk if you drink too much. If you can't save face or put on airs to disturb everyone's interest, you will be responsible for the consequences. I don't want to be dragged down." Fu Said with a little disgust.
Li Mingrui frowned, shouldn't this be like drinking with the leader, is there such a serious problem?He has already entered this circle, and it is impossible for him to have no social interaction forever. questionable.
During those years in the entertainment industry, Lin Yiran never mentioned anything to him about going out to drink, so it should be fine.
Li Mingrui nodded, saying that he would not cause trouble to Fu Xian.
In the evening, he sent a message to Zhou Yuqing saying that he would come back later, so he went to the hotel with Fu Xian. It looked more luxurious on the outside, but the inside was also resplendent. Li Mingrui felt that this place was not suitable for talking about business, but after all, those people were big shots , it is normal to choose here.He's not stupid, it's not that he didn't think about the possible danger, but it's his trump card to think that he can be called Liu Yan at a critical moment.Liu Yan's identity and family background will not be embarrassing for anyone.
Fu Xian obviously dressed up carefully. He wore a dark pink shirt on his upper body, showing his thin waist, and black tight-fitting pants underneath. Jeans, not even a hairstyle.
Fu Xian glanced at him, smiled mockingly, ignored him and just led the way in front of him.
Li Mingrui thought that his outfit might not be formal, but this was not an audition scene after all, so it would be fine to be casual, not to mention that he only wore this outfit once, and it looked clean and neat in the mirror, which would not embarrass Fu Xian.
When they entered, there was already a circle of people sitting inside. Li Mingrui silently counted seven or eight people in his heart.
A short, skinny man stood up immediately, laughed and said, "Hey, isn't this Fu Xian? I haven't seen you for a long time. I know that I don't come out to eat when I take pictures of those gadgets. Don't say anything when you come here." , drink three cups first."
This person seemed to have a lot of status in a group of people, and everyone agreed with him when he opened his mouth.
He put his arm on Fu Xian's shoulder while he was talking. He was almost a head shorter than Fu Xian. This posture seemed very ridiculous, but no one in the room expressed surprise, as if they were used to it, and even Fu Xian frowned. Without wrinkling, he sat directly next to that person in a half-embracing posture, without saying a word, and skillfully opened a bottle of beer.
Under the different eyes of everyone, he raised his head directly to the mouth of the bottle and started to drink. He only took a breath in the middle, and then the whole bottle of wine bottomed out and he drank it all. Li Mingrui, who was standing by the side, was stunned when he saw this scene.
The atmosphere at the scene became noisy in an instant. The people around him were obviously satisfied with Fu Xian's performance. While touching Fu Xian's delicate neck with wrinkled hands, they tilted their heads and looked at Li Mingrui, who had been silent since entering the door. Did you come here, haven’t you seen it before!”
Fu Xian said coolly: "It's in the same manager's hands as mine, and it's only been in the circle for a while."
The man smiled, "It doesn't matter if it's new or old, since you've entered this door, let's drink!"
Li Mingrui felt a little uncomfortable. Among these people, two or three of them were artists he had heard of or seen on TV, and the rest were probably so-called directors and investors. Sitting together is totally different from talking about movies and characters in a friendly manner. Even if it's not as good as he thought, it shouldn't be so... messy.
Especially when Fu Xian drank a bottle of beer in one go, the aura he was accustomed to gave him a bad premonition.
He stood there in embarrassment. There was no empty chair when they came in. He and Fu Xian just stood beside them. After Fu Xian drank a bottle of wine, a slightly rich man made a look to the waiter. Bring in a chair, and only one.
Seeing so many people staring at him now, he wouldn't be so foolish as to think that turning around and leaving would solve the problem.Now that you're here, let's drink, at least he can drink well.
"New kid, you don't know everyone here, why don't you just toast to each other, so that you will know everyone after this way."
"Yes, some people are the elders in your circle, and others are many years older than you. This wine is respectful!"
"Haha, it's just two or three bottles, no problem?"
Fu Xian opened three bottles of wine in a row, placed ten glasses on the table, filled them all, turned his head to Li Mingrui and raised his chin. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. While drinking, he was thinking about what to do, joking about how he could stay sober after downing two or three bottles of wine, especially in today's occasion, nothing is as important as being sober.
As soon as he drank three glasses of wine, he bent over and pretended to vomit. Fu Xian looked at him in disgust, and immediately asked the waiter to give him a chair.
The bottle of wine that Li Mingrui drank had English letters on it. He didn't know what brand it was, and he didn't feel anything when he drank it. After drinking it, he felt a little sick. Not only the wine was disgusting, but watching these laughing people was also disgusting. But it's impossible to just shake his face and leave. He is no longer a child, and he won't do anything that will affect his future because of some unhappiness.
He didn't expect to have a good relationship with these people, but he didn't want to offend them one by one.A Sun Wei who plays the role of the prince can bring him a lot of inconvenience, not to mention these big hands in various industries.
But from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't believe that one of the old men who were drunk, talking nonsense and not caring about their image was the director of "Confrontation". He had seen other films made by that director before and felt uncomfortable. It will be this kind of person.
He put a smile on his face and asked, "Which one is the director, I would like to toast alone."
Those people glanced at each other, then looked at Fu Xian, who lowered his head slightly and took a sip of his wine. Then a man smiled and said, "Director? We are all directors. I am Director Wang, he is Director Qian, he It's Director Feng, this is... hey, what's your name?" The men pointed one by one, and stopped when they pointed at a woman.
The woman said delicately, "Zhu Lan, have you forgotten?"
"Ah yes, look at my memory. This is Director Zhu. We are not only directors, but also much better than directors. Even directors have to listen to us."
"That's right, what is a director? If you want to be a director one day, boy, we will also designate you as Director Li, hahaha!"
Li Mingrui just felt that these people were crazy, and had no common language with them.
He sat between two people, one was a 50-year-old man with a beer belly and a bald head, and the other was a charming entertainment show host in his 30s.Intentionally or not, the old man touched Li Mingrui with his elbow several times, but Li Mingrui endured it and didn't get angry.
But when we got excited, the man's hand directly touched Li Mingrui's. Li Mingrui's eyes turned cold, and his first reaction was to hook his fingers. The wine bottle on the table fell down, and the liquid immediately flowed onto the man's lap. His thighs were wet.
Li Mingrui immediately pulled the towel to help the man wipe his pants, and said in full view, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."
Fu Xian glared at Li Mingrui in dissatisfaction, but Li Mingrui ignored him. He finally understood that Fu Xian was simply playing tricks on him.
Li Mingrui's apology seems to be very sincere, at least his face is full of apology and self-blame, but none of the people present have been at the wine table for many years. I see.
Therefore, Li Mingrui found that at the next dinner table, everyone seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally toasting to him.
Afterwards, the scenes about Li Mingrui were all intervened by Sun Weiruo. The only thing he was lucky about was that the salary was paid according to the originally negotiated price, which made him feel a little comforted.
This was the first person he offended under the circumstances of being careful in the entertainment industry. He was very puzzled why this man could not get along with him.

Therefore, Li Mingrui found that at the next dinner table, everyone seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally toasting to him.
