Recalcitrant

At 02:30 in the morning, there were no businesses still open near the studio. Chen Yan didn't want to go too far in the wind, so he took Lu Shaoheng to the convenience store on the corner.

The convenience store is open 24 hours, and the store is brightly lit. There are no customers at this time. After entertaining the customers, the two young clerks huddled behind the counter and swiped their phones.

The two clerks are college students from a nearby film school. One is tall, the other is short, the other is fat and the other is thin. The combination has a dramatic effect.

Lu Shaoheng sat at the long table by the French window, watched Chen Zhuo buy two cups of coffee, turned and walked towards him.

"I had a meal with Wang Wenyu tonight." Lu Shaoheng took the coffee, took a sip, and the dry bitter taste of over-roasted directly hit his forehead, as if he had taken a sip of traditional Chinese medicine, and the goose bumps on his back stood up .

Although the tip of the tongue was bitter, the body felt warm all of a sudden.

"Oh?" Chen Yao took off his mask, came to sit next to Lu Shaoheng, and looked at the empty intersection outside the window: "When did you know Wang Wenyu?"

Fortunately, it was early in the morning. If Chen Zhuo sat here without any cover at other times, it might cause quite a commotion.

"We just met each other not long ago." Hearing what Chen Yan said, Lu Shaoheng did not expose it, and continued to say: "He is interested in the book of "No Man's Land" and intends to take the filming."

"Then you have to make good use of this opportunity. A great director like Wang Wenyu can't be hired with money." Chen Zhuo picked up the coffee but didn't drink it. He remembered Lu Shaoheng's bad deeds and emphasized: "Also, he You're already married, don't mess around."

"Still pretending." Lu Shaoheng saw that at this time, Chen Zhuo was still here pretending to be stupid with him, so he slapped him on the back angrily, and said through gritted teeth: "Wang Wenyu said, you are the one who wrote "No Man's Land" "Jing Jing" introduced him to him, and even subsidized his film salary privately, yes, Chen Zhuo, I didn't expect you to be such a kind person, your company has made a lot of money in the past few years?"

Lu Shaoheng's slap almost caused the coffee in Chen Yao's hand to spill out. He hurriedly put down the cup and looked at Lu Shaoheng: "Did you drink him?"

Lu Shaoheng laughed, looking a little smug.

"He has a big mouth, he talks a lot when he's drunk." Chen Zhuo looked away, and stopped looking at Lu Shaoheng.As if those bleak phoenix trees by the street were some stunning beauties, he was so fascinated that he couldn't take his eyes off: "Don't worry about it, just follow him and take a good photo."

"Chen Zhuo." Lu Shaoheng didn't intend to let Chen Zhuo easily fool him this time: "Why did you invite him for me?"

And the last time when he faced Lu Shaoheng's invitation, even asking for help, he refused so simply.

"I just mentioned it casually to him." Chen Yao began to avoid the important point: "Don't ask."

Hey, you don't ask if you don't ask?Lu Shaoheng stopped believing in evil, and today he had to pry this man's mouth open.

So Lu Shaoheng turned sideways, put his elbows on the long table, leaned forward and approached Chen Zhuo, assuming a posture of torture to extract a confession.However, at this moment, there was a burst of laughter from behind the counter.

"What is this movie made of? I'm talking about it. I don't think this director should make movies anymore. He might as well come to us and find a class." The yelling started.

"Chen Yao, you know, it's that actor, and he's quite popular now." Another clerk was tall but as thin as a stick. He glanced at the fat man's phone screen and added: "Don't He said that he was quite handsome, but he hadn't seen him on TV for a few years."

"Is the threshold for being a director so low these days? You can become a director if you have hands?" In Fatty's eyes, the words "handsome guy" and "stupid bag" are automatically equated. He asked sincerely from the bottom of his heart. Said: "Which bully is praising him?"

Sitting not far away, the veins on his forehead twitched and twitched, crushing the coffee cup in his hand.

"Actually, the two films he just debuted were quite good, but then something happened and his style changed drastically. It's okay if the film was bad, and the box office was so bad."

At this time, someone came in to buy cigarettes outside the door, and the tall man said while operating the cash register: "But I heard that the two movies he won the award were actually made by his father, you know his father, it is the one The great director Chen Guangyu, with such a father, can’t walk sideways in the entertainment industry? If you want to rape our eyes with any bad movie, just use any bad movie to rape our eyes.”

"I said." The fat man suddenly realized, and said with great disdain: "An actor knows how to make a movie, and he is an idiot."

Ever since Chen Zhuo joined his father's crew as a young actor, the controversy over him has never stopped. Chen Zhuo has long been numb to hearing such words, neither ear nor heart.

But Chen Yao could hear it, but Lu Shaoheng couldn't. He recalled a day many years ago when he happened to watch the casting video of a new movie with Chen Yao on a whim.At the beginning, everything was normal, and they picked a few suitable candidates.

Later, when a video was played in the middle, a bloody and terrifying massacre video that was actually shot was suddenly interspersed.

The impact of this scene was too great, Lu Shaoheng was not mentally prepared, and went to the bathroom to vomit acid water on the spot. When he came back, Chen Yao had already turned off the video skillfully to make a backup, opened a fixed file, recorded the video and sent it The email address of the reporter, in case of future contingencies, and even a few words of concern for Lu Shaoheng.

The records in that document are densely packed. It is not the first time that Chen Zhuo has been intimidated like this. In severe cases, there are even death threats. He has long been used to this kind of environment.

At this moment, Chen Zhuo was still the same as Lu Shaoheng remembered. When facing these unprovoked malice, he behaved calmly, as if he really wouldn't get hurt.

"He's basically retired now, do you know why?" The conversation between the two clerks continued.

The fat man asked, "Why?"

"I also heard from my teacher that he was also in Chen Yao's crew that year. He said that Chen Yao was going to shoot a scene of burning the library. At that time, everyone advised him to use post-production special effects, but in order to pursue the effect, he Adhere to the real shooting in the studio."

After all, he is still a student of the film academy, so he knows some rules. The fat man was shocked: "It is illegal to use open flames in the studio, right?"

"Whoever gives someone the power and power, anyway, he got the approval in the end." The thin man continued with certainty, "The fire was not controlled properly on the day of filming, the studio caught fire, and a staff member was killed on the spot."

The fat man let out a "tsk" and sighed endlessly: "Human life is ignored, a murderer."

Hearing these words, Lu Shaoheng's face darkened in an instant, and the unknown fire in his heart burned to the top. He didn't see Chen Zhuo's reaction, and slapped the paper cup on the table, and got up to look for those two people.

Chen Yao didn't expect Lu Shaoheng to be so angry, so he quickly pulled him back and pressed him back on the chair.

When the people behind the counter heard the movement, they poked their heads out to look at the window in unison.The fat man glanced at the backs of the two of them, and said with extreme contempt: "If you're so horny, go get a room, what does it look like to be flirting here?"

"Calm down." Chen Yao held Lu Shaoheng's hand tightly to prevent him from being impulsive, and said in a low voice: "I have been in this business for so long, and I still can't stand the audience's criticism."

"Is this a criticism?" Lu Shaoheng was angry, and pulled his hand out of Chen Zhuo's palm vigorously, struggling twice, but he really broke away, and he was about to get up from his seat again.

It was impossible for Chen Zhuo to really let Lu Shaoheng pass by and hold Lu Shaoheng down.

Fatty saw that these two people not only did not listen to persuasion, but also got worse, and coughed very deliberately.

"It's alright, alright, don't be angry." Chen Zhuo, who was pointed at and scolded by others, comforted Lu Shaoheng instead: "Be obedient, don't cause trouble."

In the past few years, everyone has tacitly avoided this accident in front of Chen Yao. This is the first time that Lu Shaoheng has expressed his opinion to him directly: "That incident was not your fault."

"It doesn't matter whose fault it is." Chen Yao patted Lu Shaoheng's arm and said, "The ending is already like this, and no one can change it."

Chen Zhuo spoke calmly, as if the traces of the accident that year had long since been erased from his heart.

Lu Shaoheng gave up struggling, but he still couldn't let go of his breath.This is not the first time he has heard similar rumors, and he also knows what kind of public opinion environment Chen Zhuo has lived in for a long time, but hearing others talk about it with his own ears, the feeling is different.

But even if he blocked the mouths of these two people, so what? There are countless mouths in this world, and the touch of two thin lips can easily turn right and wrong into black and white. the value of a person.

Thinking of this, Lu Shaoheng felt the long-lost powerlessness.

"Since you don't care about it anymore, then I don't want Wang Wenyu, I want you to make this movie." Lu Shaoheng took advantage of the topic to play normally, and returned to the original topic, turning the powerlessness in his heart into nonsense.

"I don't want to make movies anymore. It's two different things." Chen Yao's mood was very stable from beginning to end. He glanced at Lu Shaoheng, let go of his hand, and said calmly: "And why don't you want Wang Wenyu? You know if "No The box office of "The Realm of Man" is dismal, will there be any consequences, Wang Wenyu is currently the most suitable candidate."

Juxing is counting on this movie to make a comeback, and Lu Shaoheng is going to use it to consolidate his position. Chen Zhuo knows how important this movie is to Juxing and Lu Shaoheng, so he came forward to help him find Wang Wenyu.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoheng didn't appreciate it, and said without shame: "I'm going to declare bankruptcy, what else can I do." After finishing speaking, he still felt that his words made sense: "After working hard, the company finally collapsed, and this matter can't be done." Leave it to me, time is fate."

"That's your business." Chen Zhuo was unmoved, he knew that things were not as simple as he said: "I can't accept this movie, and I'm not interested in the script."

"You are willing to accept what you want." Chen Zhuo's repeated refusals made Lu Shaoheng's stubbornness of a dandy come up, and now this movie has to be Chen Zhuo: "You can put forward conditions, as long as they are not excessive. , I can promise you."

Seeing that Chen Yao didn't speak, Lu Shaoheng thought that he was out of ideas for a while, so he kindly gave him a sample: "For example, you can re-agreement on the box office share, or you can talk about interest in the shares of Juxing. Of course, we can also Make an agreement on something else, such as completely ending our, uh, forcibly bound relationship, and announcing that we have broken up..."

"Lu Shaoheng!" Lu Shaoheng became more and more out of bounds, Chen Zhuo couldn't bear it, and interrupted him.

"If it doesn't work, I can only threaten you." Lu Shaoheng looked at Chen Zhuo with crooked eyebrows and a bright smile.The last second he was still fighting for Chen Zhuo's injustice, but at this moment, he said the most stupid words: ""Golden Que Fengyuelu" is still in my hands, if I don't agree, this movie will never be released in this life I want to show it."

Lu Shaoheng holds Juxing in his hand, this movie is not bad, Chen Yao's company can't afford it.

"Don't go too far." After a day of tossing, Chen Zhuo was a little tired, and Lu Shaoheng's capriciousness also made him tired of coping.He didn't intend to argue with Lu Shaoheng any more, and rubbed his eyebrows: "If you are not satisfied with Wang Wenyu, you can find someone else yourself, and don't hit me."

As soon as Chen Zhuo finished speaking, a black car slowly drove into the field of vision of the two of them. It was Ling Xiao who received the notice and came here to pick up Lu Shaoheng.

"I've just taken a fancy to you." Lu Shaoheng messed up and couldn't pull ten bulls back.He glanced at the car parked outside the window, got up and picked up the coat on the back of the chair, gestured for a phone call, and said to Chen Yao: "That's it, think about it yourself, and call me when you think about it."
