Aesthetics of Violence [Entertainment]

Ever since they ate the two candied haws "intimately" together last time, Ge Qiao and Zhong Mingcan have been busy with their own affairs for several days, living a life without touching the ground, even the other's There was no shadow to be seen, even though there were only two floors between them.

Ge Qiao was busy with the grueling year-end summary.

And the music competition program that Zhong Mingcan participated in also started the second recording.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

In the film and television building of Pingjing TV Station, a group of people with gloomy faces automatically formed a circle, blocking the backstage corridor. Zhu Zan stood in the center of the circle, with a casual posture, resting on his chin with one hand, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, really watching There was not much emotion, but there was always an inviolable black evil spirit lingering around his body. Zhong Mingcan stood on the outermost layer of the circle, leaning against the wall, without any sense of existence.He was just here to make up the numbers, and the protagonist who caused this situation was someone else.Dong Linzhi never came out of the waiting room.

Lei Zi was trembling, looking at Zhu Zan's face, and said bravely, "Zhu...Director Zhu...should we...should we start recording?"

Following the phrase "Director Zhu", Zhu Zan slowly raised his head, his eyes drifted to Lei Zi, who was half shorter than usual, and he smiled sinisterly: "Record, how can you not record it? , or you come to record it, how capable you are, right?"

Lei Zi had seen Zhu Zan get angry, but he hadn't seen Zhu Zan get angry with a smile, so he was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.

"Director Zhu, I was wrong. I really knew it was wrong. It was Huang Xiangyan who said that he was your friend, who said... that he wanted to know Xue Tao's ranking... who knew... who knew that Xue Tao was so glass-hearted..." He originally I didn't have any confidence, and the voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it sounded like a mosquito.

Zhu Zan continued to laugh, his eyes were cold: "If you say one more nonsense and find another excuse, I will kill you right now."

Lei Zi fell silent for a moment.

Zhu Zan still didn't say anything, no one knew what the director was thinking, after a while, he just said quietly: "Come on, Lei Zi, accompany me to see our two fathers for a ride. "

Now that Lei Zi was called by name, there was nothing wrong with anyone else.The others looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to follow up to have a look, or to go back to their waiting room honestly. They also wanted to know what happened to Xue Tao and the man beside him.Some people came a bit late and didn't catch up with the first wave of excitement. They just heard word of mouth from others that Xue Tao was going to retire, and the person next to him was his benefactor, and they came here this time to support him.

Zhong Mingcan has always been a model worker and came very early, so he witnessed the whole process of this farce.

When he came to the waiting room in the morning, he saw three figures in the corridor, Zhu Zan, Xue Tao, and a strange man. They walked towards the innermost waiting room together.

After closing the door and standing still, Xue Tao said first, "Director, I just want to know why I am the last one in the ranking."

Zhu Zan was very calm and answered in an orderly manner: "This is audience voting. We are only responsible for statistics. There is no reason for statistics when voting, so I don't know."

Xue Tao looked playful and continued to be aggressive: "Really? Why do I think there is water in this result? You said the audience voted, who knows if you hid the votes yourself..."

"Why should I hide the ticket?"

"The last time I asked to change the track, you didn't agree..."

Zhu Zan directly interrupted his assumption: "Don't worry about this, I'm not retiring after finishing this show, there's no need to smash my own brand for you alone."

Xue Tao pursed his lips tightly and stared at Zhu Zan without blinking. After a while, he finally made up his mind and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to retire, I won't play anymore."

Zhu Zan also thought he was playing with his temper, and found it funny: "Just because the ranking in the first game is not good?"

Xue Tao shook his head solemnly: "No, I think your competition is unfair."

Temporarily changing the competition track and relying on the sponsor to win the program resources, you still talk to me about fairness?

Zhu Zan felt that he had nothing to say to him, so he nodded perfunctorily, and turned his face to look at Huang Xiangyan, who was standing there like a telegraph pole, saying nothing: "What are you doing here? I also think this competition is unfair, and want to seek justice? "

Huang Xiangyan smiled wryly and looked at Xue Tao who was puffed up and angry, and then at Zhu Zan who seemed kind but actually it wasn't like that. Being a human is really fucking hard.Finally, he sighed, avoided answering Zhu Zan's question, and waved two fingers, wanting to negotiate: "You just let him retire, I will pay, no matter how much you want, I will give you twice .”

Zhu Zan ignored him, turned to look at Xue Tao again and asked, "Then if I give you the first place in the game, you won't retire?"

Xue Tao didn't expect Zhu Zan to become so talkative all of a sudden, the surprise came so suddenly, he even felt a little flattered, and his words became hesitant: "You...can you really give it to me?"

It's even a little cute.

Zhu Zan nodded, with a relaxed tone: "No matter what, I am also the director of this competition. It is my conscience not to give it to you, and it is my right to give it to you."

Xue Tao still didn't believe it, but he could see his anticipation from those sparkling eyes, just like a rabbit seeing a carrot or a crow seeing a sparkling diamond."Really?" he asked.

"If I want, I can also directly choose you as the final champion. We can start arranging your concert now, and we will take you to meet the music director and the person in charge of the performance company tomorrow."

Zhu Zan narrowed his eyes, and the more he talked, the more he spoke: "You can say all your ideas about the stage, and you can say whatever you want. They are all experienced, and they have been in the industry for a long time, and they have a very wide network. Now build a Disneyland by the sea, or go to the revolving restaurant of the CCTV Tower to book a disco dance.”

In the end, he also made a summary of his speech: "Look, we have the right, and the one next to you is rich and perfect."

Listening to Zhu Zan's voice becoming more and more gentle, with an unpredictable bewitching, Huang Xiangyan tugged Xue Tao's sleeve uneasily. He knew that this was a signal that the person opposite was about to give up his human identity.

Of course, Xue Tao is not so stupid as to discriminate between humans and animals. He looked Zhu Zan up and down with disdain in his eyes: "Are you fooling me?"

"Why am I lying to you? You don't need to believe me, or Huang Xiangyan's strength?"

Xue Tao was taken aback by the self-confidence bursting out of his body, and became a little confused: "Just...even if you do this...how can you guarantee that the final champion will be mine?"

"I don't know how to assure you, I'm just trying my best to express my sincerity that I hope to keep you, you are young and talented, you are a rare good seed, you are pure gold that has not yet shined, the future is bright, and the future is bright." Don’t you think it’s a pity to give up just because of one failure?”

Xue Tao actually heard the truth from this weird cadence, he had nothing to say and was a little shaken.

Seeing that he was still hesitant, Zhu Zan decided to add one last blow: "I know you are worried that I will deceive you. If you really want the championship position, then let's make a deal and you pay bribes. Me, I will give you money to do things for you. I am an outstanding party member of our country who officially joined the party in May 2013. I have a party card and honorary certificate. If I accept more than 5 yuan, it will be regarded as corruption and bribery. At that time, if I don’t give you Champion, you report me directly, and promise to get me in jail in no time!"

Xue Tao was shocked by his non-stop "red" speech, and held back for a long time without uttering a single word.He felt that he might not be dazed, but he still felt a little persuasive. After all, he knew that there was really nothing in this world that couldn't be solved with money, and his boyfriend was indeed rich.

Huang Xiangyan was listening to Zhu Zan going crazy, and opened his mouth weakly. He was tired, and he just wanted Zhu Zan to let them go, even if he really wanted money: "How much do you want?"

Zhu Zan stared down at the back of his hand, and said lightly, "500 million."

Huang Xiangyan: "Fuck..."

Xue Tao: "...are you crazy?!"

"It's not easy for me, either I will be ridiculed by the audience and lose my job, or I will be reported by you and go to jail. Besides, there is a risk of counterfeiting. You are two hundred votes behind No. 1." Huang Xiangyan added, "A total of three hundred spectators."

"But it's too expensive! It's just a bad game, isn't this a scam?!"

"Isn't Huang Xiangyan's money reserved for you to spend? For your future, he is still reluctant to part with this little money? Five million is his pocket money for a few months, right?"

Xue Tao thought for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that the deal seemed to work. He lowered his voice, as if to emphasize it again: "Then it's okay, that is, I will give you 500 million, you..."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zan suddenly blocked his words, and the level of resentment and grievance hidden in his eyes was just right, but the fire was not dull: "I didn't expect you to be such a person, you should retire from the competition."

Xue Tao: "...?"

What's the matter with this man?The price is almost set, and they are all ready to negotiate terms, so why don't you keep it?

Zhu Zan helplessly spread his hands, looked at Huang Xiangyan, and shook his head: "It seems that Xue Tao of your family is determined not to make me feel better, but I also have moral integrity and professional ideals. I really tried my best, and there is no other way." , I can’t keep him anymore.”

He calculated the accounts sternly and selflessly, and said quietly: "As the chief director, I deeply regret the loss of an excellent contestant. Since I would rather deceive the audience than compete well, this is a unilateral breach of contract, right? The liquidated damages are 300 yuan. Wan, just now you said you would give me twice as much, right? That is 600 million, by check or bank transfer? It is not convenient for me to accept cash here."

Lei Zi followed Zhu Zan, not even daring to make a sound of footsteps, and just floated to the door of the waiting room at the end of the corridor.Inside the door Xue Tao was sitting on a chair sulking, Huang Xiangyan bent down and whispered something in his ear, turning a blind eye to the two people standing at the door.

Zhu Zan slowly leaned on the door frame, folded his arms in front of his chest, suddenly lost all evil spirits, and smiled happily: "How is it? Have you made a decision? 600 million is less or less? Or I will make a new price. ?”

Lei Zi was in a daze, unable to understand what code his leader was saying.

Huang Xiangyan straightened up, with a real capitalist smile, alienated, but at ease: "I know I owe you a favor this time, but it's not good for you to speak so loudly? Even if it's 300 million liquidated damages, It’s not a small amount, he’s still a rookie.”

Zhu Zan sneered, and replied unceremoniously: "Then you think I'm an old fox, have you seen too many people like you?"

Huang Xiangyan's smile froze, his voice became deeper and he pretended to be calm: "As the old saying goes, keep a thread of favor so that we can meet in the future. Are you sure you want to do everything right?"

Zhu Zan was tired from standing, so he changed his posture, still cynical, and said, "Obviously you guys forced me first, so how could it be me who has done nothing?"

Huang Xiangyan took a long breath, closed his eyes, and frowned, as if he was weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Zhu Zan looked at him with great interest, not in a hurry, just waiting like this.

Seeing him finally opened his eyes, Zhu Zan followed up and suddenly became concerned about his friend's family affairs: "I heard that Huang's family is engaged in real estate recently?"

"..." Huang Xiangyan swallowed back the words that came to his lips. He didn't know what he was up to, but he answered honestly, "Yes."

"I'm also interested in the entertainment industry and want to invest?"

Huang Xiangyan raised his eyebrows, his brain turned quickly, and he immediately understood the subtext of Zhu Zan's words. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed softly, and the effortless energy in his body came up again: "Yes, my dad has always been there. Looking for a suitable project in the entertainment industry and want to invest."

Zhu Zan also raised the corners of his mouth. What this bottomless entertainment Vanity Fair needs most is a smart person like Huang Xiangyan who has a lot of money and is smart.Although he knew that the other party had clearly seen his intentions, he still spoke slowly: "Well, I don't want a penny from you, so I just let Xue Tao go. After this show is over, I have a new show I haven't thought about the name of the plan, nor have I thought about the content, but I'm going to ask your Huang family to help me with this. Do you think it's a loss if you turn an unremarkable transaction into a serious investment?"

Huang Xiangyan kept his face watery, and looked directly into Zhu Zan's eyes, seeming to be smiling, but when he looked carefully, he didn't feel how happy he was.In fact, he was three-point relieved and seven-point surprised in his heart, relieved that Xue Tao could escape smoothly, and surprised that Zhu Zan could take the opportunity to take him into the army in such a short period of time.

Needle drop can be heard for a while.

In the end, Huang Xiangyan couldn't hold his breath anymore, and if he didn't leave, maybe Xue Tao would really have to roll around at the performance here, so he couldn't be more distressed?

Huang Xiangyan said: "Okay, I promise you, I will sponsor your new program."

After finally waiting for the most beautiful promise in the world, Zhu Zan lifted his body from the door frame, stood up straight, smiled deeper, nodded, and slightly turned his face to Lei Zi who was beside him, solemnly introducing: "Lei Zi Son, call Dad quickly, this will be our big benefactor from now on."

Lei Zi has been in a dumbfounded state since he entered the door just now. His extremely limited brain capacity does not allow him to deduce the cause and effect of the whole thing through this endless fairy dialogue, but his intuition tells him that his own Leadership seems to be doing an amazing thing.He was proud, his waist straightened, his legs became stronger, his voice was like a bell, and his breath was like a rainbow. He shouted loudly to the rich second generation with whom he only had a phone call: "Father!"

Zhu Zan patted the back of his head with satisfaction, and this action inspired Lei Zi, like a fledgling that just learned to fly, eager to show off his feathers to the old bird.

Lei Zi glanced at Huang Xiangyan's restless hand on Xue Tao's shoulder, suddenly his eyes lit up, and the gaze he looked at Xue Tao became extremely affectionate, his voice was like a bell, and his breath pierced through Changhong, and he shouted again: "Mom!"

Today is an auspicious day for Huang Xiangyan and Xue Tao.

The two of them returned with a full load and returned Xue Tao's contract empty-handed. Huang Xiangyan's wallet remained untouched, and finally picked up a cheap son.

"Lei Zi, come here."

At 07:30 in the evening, due to being delayed by Huang Xiangyan and Xue Tao for more than two hours in the morning, it was not possible to finish recording the content of the third period until it was completely dark.After the end, Zhu Zan took Lei Zi straight to the editing room.

The night outside the window oppresses the city, and although the lights inside the window are brightly lit, the atmosphere is not much better.

He had just recognized his parents during the day, and there was another ancestor who needed to be taken care of at night, but now, Lei Zi knew that this ancestor was very angry, because that creepy smile had been aimed at him all day.

The ancestor sent a message: "Go and buy a three-month membership for the official blog of our program group, secretly remove Xue Tao's poster and name, and replace it with the little brother Lu Yao had a crush on before, and she has already helped to contact her." Alright, I will pick a time later to make up all the facial expressions, busts and close-ups in the first three episodes, and replace Xue Tao's shots."

"But the scenes he and Sister Yun took together are not very easy to edit..."

Zhu Zan's attitude is particularly kind: "Why is it difficult to edit? Will it be possible to add subtitles? Will it be possible to put emoticons? Will it be possible to use filters? There is always a way, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, then we will..."

"Oh! Oh!" At this moment, Zhu Zan suddenly exclaimed twice, Lei Zi froze in place for a moment because of his exaggerated acting skills, and forgot to speak, "My God! Why are you so careless!"

It was too late to say it, it was so fast, I saw "Hula", all the small icons on the desktop of the 27-inch computer screen in front of me disappeared, Lei Zi said "Huh?" before he could say it, Zhu Zan A double-click with a wrist pressure empties the recycle bin.

"Alas!" Zhu Zan's sigh was full of air, and the volume was so loud that it could be heard clearly in the editing room next door, "You are too careless! How could you delete everything on the desktop? There are several edited preview clips in it, and it will be released in a few days! You are too impulsive! Originally, it was only necessary to cut out a few scenes of Xue Tao, but look at it now, it needs to be reworked It's over!"

What the heck?

"..." Lei Zi suddenly felt five thunders on his head, shaking his fingers tremblingly, feeling bad, his throat was a little tight, "...It's obviously you..."

Zhu Zan didn't listen, and continued to yell at the top of his voice: "Oh, don't be so sorry! Anyone who knows a little bit of computer can fix it! If the repair is not good, just re-cut it, it won't take much time! "

After the whole play was performed, the small theater in my heart came to an end.The corner of Zhu Zan's mouth loosened, and the smile finally disappeared.

He just stood there, looking indifferently at the terrified Lei Zi, his eyes were dark and bottomless.

The air in the room became extremely treacherous, and the scene in front of me was very much like a scene in an absurd drama, one person was as steady as Mount Tai, the other was trembling like chaff, they looked at each other speechlessly.

After a while, Zhu Zan snorted lightly, without any intention of teasing, and without any kindness at all: "You think that no matter how big a mess you make, I, the leader, will wipe your ass, right? You think, even if you You didn't tell Huang Xiangyan about Xue Tao's results in the competition, and he will retire sooner or later, so this mistake you made is not serious, right? You thought that the [-] spectators stood in line at the door to sign the confidentiality ticket The agreement is just a joke, isn't it?"

Three question marks came out of his mouth, with a knife in every word and blood in every sentence.

The chill instantly spread to Lei Zi's limbs and bones.

"I didn't, I wasn't...I was wrong..." He murmured and repeated, his hands were clasped in front of him, his fingertips had already turned white from his pinching, what else could he say?Nothing can be said now.

"On the computer desktop are three Weibo previews that I have edited. Each is 3 minutes long, and Xue Tao's appearances add up to about 40 seconds."

"Starting today, I will give this place to you, and you just stay in this room honestly."

"In a week, if you restore the things I just deleted, then find out the 40 seconds with Xue Tao, and find a way to cut them all. If you can't repair them, re-cut three trailers for me, the editing requirements In the txt file on the H drive, the video materials are all stored in the black hard drive on the table."

"If you don't want to do it, you can open the word document and give you a whole night of typing, and come to me tomorrow with your resignation letter."

"I don't mind if you're a piece of shit, but you better not be."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zan paused for a few seconds to give him time to digest the information, heaved a sigh of relief, and took a few steps forward, approaching Lei Zi, who was hanging his head and shrinking his body, raised his hand and patted the back of his head, not lightly It's not heavy, I don't know what kind of emotions it brings, but it feels the same as in the morning.

After Zhu Zan left, Lei Zi still stood in this position for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, or just in a daze.

The author has something to say: Zhu Zan: Am I handsome?

Me: emmm, are you sure you didn't cheat others because you were too lazy to cut it?

Zhu Zan: Well, you can shut up now.

It is very troublesome for a guest to breach the contract, because it is not clear whether it is the responsibility of the program group or the guest.

Xue Tao’s reason for withdrawing from the competition was that he felt that the competition was unfair. I don’t know if you remember that Xue Tao changed the repertoire with other groups in the first round. Praise is bad.

Conversely, if Huang Xiangyan and Xue Tao reject Zhu Zan's conditions, the director will have a lot of ways to toss the guests who can't cancel the contract.

Among the people who have struggled in society and have not been punished to death, there are no little white rabbits, they are all bastards.
