After being scolded on the black search, I became popular [entertainment circle]

Tang most subjectively is not unwilling to be bitten, since he can accept Shao Xingzhou, it means that he must like it.

No one can force him to be with someone he doesn't like.

It just didn't work out in the end.

Because there was a knock on the door, it was the aunt who was cooking who asked him what he wanted for breakfast, probably because he didn't come back often, and the aunt came to ask because he was not sure.

Tang Zui opened the door and walked out. When the door was closing, he exchanged glances with Shao Xingzhou in the room, signaling him to be quiet.

Shao Xingzhou, who was left behind, laughed a little.

Talk about underground love at home.

Shao Xingzhou exhaled, got up and walked to the balcony. The house was in the suburbs, and the greening in the backyard was done very well. It seemed that he could vent out the depression in his heart for so long here.

There were a few emails from Li Meng in the mailbox, I clicked on them and found that they were some job invitations that he had screened.

When Shao Xingzhou was in Tianhua, his agent was Li Meng, who was his first-hand artist. Later, after Shao Xingzhou established his own company, Li Meng followed him to change jobs. He has no agent now, and he handles many tasks by himself, but Li Meng occasionally Will also take over some things.

In this regard, Li Meng has asked the boat company to double his salary countless times.

Of course this is a joke, because Li Meng's treatment in Zhouxing is no worse than that in Tianhua back then.

Shao Xingzhou looked at the emails, and found an interesting one, which was an invitation for a magazine shoot.

"AUGUE"

The theme is psychological trauma.

The photographer is EMMA Cheng Nian'an.

This name is familiar to everyone. The "Queen of Heaven" photographer has won numerous international photography awards. AUGUE's queen photographer is also the wife of Tianhua's current executive director Tang He.

More importantly, she is Tang Zui's mother.

A person who has not appeared for many years and can only exist in Tang Zui's dream.

Cheng Nian'an is a workaholic Omega who is more workaholic than all the alphas of the Tang family. She is not young anymore, but she flies around the world almost all the time. In her world, all kinds of human relationships are indifferent. Only her work and her art can come first.

So this job invitation is a two-person invitation.

Shao Xingzhou was sure that he read it correctly, Cheng Nian'an invited him and Tang Zui, and the email clearly stated.

This shows that Cheng Nian'an has at least paid attention to Tang Zui in the past two years, but probably the only connection is this job.

He hesitated for a moment, and put the email on hold for now.

If Tang was the most determined not to go to the double invitation, then he would not go either.

Shao Xingzhou also saw some filming invitations sent directly to his mailbox. There were all kinds of filming and TV dramas from big directors, small directors, big productions and small productions. Unexpectedly, I found a more familiar sender.

Fan Qian.

He knew this person, not because he had produced any particularly excellent films, but because this person and he came out of the same high school, two grades lower, with the nickname "Tomato". Tang knew him best, and Tao Yan also knew him.

Fan Qian's play is called "Bitter Journey in the Desert", and the script has been sent as an attachment. His request is very sincere, saying that there is really no one more suitable for this role than him.

Fan Qian and Tang are about the same age, and they have just graduated from college for a few years. There are very few works, and a few of them are not popular. The scripts are not bad, but most of the actors are [-]-year-olds. No way, the salary is still a lot, and the post-production of the crew can't keep up, and the announcement is also dragging the hips. In the final analysis, there is no money.

So it was clear that Fan Qian wanted to play the emotional card with Shao Xingzhou.

It's not that no classmates from Jingdian have invited him before, but Shao Xingzhou has always read the script and not the person, so the emotional card is basically impossible for him. The only trump card that can be played must be Tang Zui.

So Fan Qian made the right bet, and he invited him as Tang Zui's classmate and good friend.

Shao Xingzhou opened the attachment he sent, and after reading it for a few minutes, he sent the script to a producer friend.

The friend responded to the message shortly after receiving it.

[The script is very good, is it a new film directed by Sun Yaohua?Do you want to pick it up? ]

[Shao Xingzhou: It’s not Director Sun’s, it’s Director Fan’s. ]

This friend is called Yu Qian, and he is also a relatively well-known producer in the circle. He has handled many big productions, and the people around him are all first-class figures in the circle of directors.

[Yu Qian: Which fan director?Fan Xun?The one filming "Qing Palace"? ]

[Shao Xingzhou: Fan Qian. ]

Yu Qian was silent for a long time, probably to find out who Fan Qian was, and he replied after about 3 minutes: [I'm so good, where did the little director get so much face?Can you help me build a relationship?lover? ]

Shao Xingzhou was also silent for a moment: [No, what do you think of the potential of this script? ]

[Yu Qian: I read the general introduction, and the intention is still very high, but this kind of serious film, to be honest, small productions are usually messy in the end, and there is nothing famous in the film, unless the director is really a A rare genius, maybe he can become a hit, but there are too few of them. I saw the work of this director Fan, and Bi She actually pulled it out to make up for it. Although he really did a good job, he has too little experience. , I don't like him in this film. ]

[Shao Xingzhou: I'll take it. ]

[Yu Qian:? ]

Yu Qian almost dropped his phone, what did the film star who had worked with first-line directors say to him?Said to accept the film of this young director who just graduated from college?

He hurriedly made a call, and the low voice of the actor rang through the phone. Yu Qian said, "Are you crazy? Although the script is really good, if you don't make it well, do you still want your title?"

Shao Xingzhou: "It's not like I haven't made bad movies before."

"That's different. "Rose Creed" is a bad movie, and it's also Sun Yaohua's bad movie. Can this young director compare with Sun Yaohua? Let's not talk about it. When the news is released, guess how many people will guess Your relationship? Don't seek death, brother."

"I think this film has more potential than you said."

Yu Qian was at a loss for words: "Yes, yes, what you said is true, but the crew has no money, so you can't spend money to shoot."

"So I want to invite you to cooperate."

Yu Qian: "... To be honest, I just came back from abroad a few days ago, and the work on the movie "Inside the Stars" has just finished, but Shao Xingzhou, you have a lot more contacts than me, and you don't ask me once in ten years. There are not many opportunities to owe favors..."

Shao Xingzhou looked up, and a branch of a tree reached out to the balcony. He raised his hand and grabbed a leaf: "This is cooperation."

"Then I won't cooperate with you! I haven't forgotten that I invited you to make a film before, but you didn't give me any face. Although the film did fail in the end, it was because you were not righteous. Anyway, if you admit that you owe me I will definitely agree to this favor, and I can also give you some big sponsorship for the small crew of Director Fan."

Shao Xingzhou threw the leaf out: "What you say means what you say."

Yu Qian: "What you say means what you say."

Shao Xingzhou hung up the phone and replied to the email, and sent his contact information, saying that he can discuss it in detail later.

In fact, he tried to accept this drama at first because of human feelings, but after reading the script, it was no longer the case. In his opinion, "Desert Journey" is a script that is comparable to many big productions now. Very good, it takes vision and courage to accept such a script, and it takes a certain amount of luck to finally send this drama to the big screen.

Shao Xingzhou only read the script once, and he felt that there was such potential. After he had a rough look at the role he was going to take, Dou Yang, this idea became more firm.

Similar to the story presented in "Desert Journey", Shao Xingzhou saw it in a stage play he watched in foreign theaters during college. One of the most influential stage plays.

This is also why Shao Xingzhou gave Yu Qian after reading the script, because he wanted to take this drama from the bottom of his heart.

He has a lot of work here, and Tang Zui's side is actually similar, but the recent incidents are really exhausting, so they all tacitly agree to the current "vacation" mode.

Always lost.

But since Shao Xingzhou accepted "Journey in the Desert", this "vacation" is almost over.

Before leaving Huai City, Tang Zui and Shao Xingzhou went to Fuzhong Old Street.

When they were studying, the attached middle school was considered a relatively prosperous place at that time, but later with the development of Huai City, the city center was transferred to the Beicheng District, which became an old street, and their old house was also there. One piece is an area to be repaired and developed.

There are several winding alleys in Fuzhong Old Street. At that time, they were still students. When they passed by, they would be asked casually by aunts and uncles at roadside stalls, "When is the holiday?" or "How did you do this week's exam?" I haven't been here for so many years, and the layout is still the familiar old Huai City style.

Just because of the change of their identities, everything seems to be a little different again.

Wearing a mask, Shao Xingzhou tightened Tang Zui, walked around a few alleys, and arrived at a small restaurant.

The restaurant is called "Old Liu's Taste". It doesn't look too new, and Li Meng's decoration is also very old. The boss is sitting behind the counter sorting out the change. When he saw them coming in, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with a Huaishi accent: "Do you want to eat?"

Shao Xingzhou said: "Eat, old Liu, old four." He also spoke with a Huai city accent, and Tang Zui was quite surprised.

Huaishi spoke with a soft southern accent. If the little girl said it, no matter what she said, it would be a bit coquettish, but when she read it from Shao Xingzhou's mouth, she had a different feeling.

It sounds good.

Shao Xingzhou took off his mask, the boss was taken aback, and then hurriedly came out from behind the counter: "Xingzhou...?" The boss looked out, then at both of them, and smiled very sincerely: "This It's a big star, long time no see, why do you remember to come to my place?"

Shao Xingzhou hooked Tang Zui's finger: "I'm going back to Beijing soon, come and have a look."

The boss smiled and looked at Tang Zui who was wearing a mask next to him: "This is...boyfriend?"

Shao Xingzhou nodded. Tang Zui saw that he was very relaxed. He also took off his mask and greeted Lao Liu. Lao Liu looked at him and briefly lowered his eyes: "I know you. I saw you on the wall of my little daughter's room. Many times you..."

Old Liu said some more things, talking endlessly, and it took a long time to realize that he stopped talking in embarrassment: "Look at me, Che Rulu talks too much."

Shao Xingzhou smiled and shook his head to express that it was okay, and then introduced Lao Liu to Tang Zui. He only said that he was a friend he met by chance, and did not say anything else. Shao Xingzhou did not tell him other things until Lao Liu went to the back kitchen and they went to the second floor of the small restaurant. .

Lao Liu is a veteran. He used to drive for the crew. Shao Xingzhou met him about five years ago when he was filming in southern Yunnan. It was also by chance that he knew that Lao Liu's hometown was also in Huai City, and had chatted with him several times in private.

Later, there was an accident with the production crew in southern Yunnan. A car exploded for unknown reasons, and Lao Liu’s leg was damaged. At that time, many people in the production crew were injured, including Shao Xingzhou, but he was not seriously injured. But Lao Liu almost put his life in it.

Fortunately, the rescue was immediate, but Lao Liu's leg was completely disabled, and the driver's job must not be done. The crew lost a part of the money and fired Lao Liu.

There are two children in Lao Liu's family, and life is very difficult after his legs are disabled. It was Shao Xingzhou who sponsored him to install artificial limbs and do a lot of rehabilitation training, and helped him open this restaurant for a living in his hometown in Huai City.

Lao Liu is a person who knows how to be grateful. He will give Shao Xingzhou a sum of money every year, saying that it is to repay his kindness. Although Shao Xingzhou does not need it, he has no intention of rejecting Lao Liu.

Every time Shao Xingzhou returned to Huai City, he would come here, and the old Liu family knew him very well.

After Tang Zui heard it, he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in, but he suddenly realized it.

His understanding of Shao Xingzhou seems to have only stayed in the ignorant years of his youth.
