Aesthetics of Violence [Entertainment]

"Passengers heading to Shanghai, please note that the check-in procedure for your flight PJ292 is now open. Please go to the designated counter for check-in. Thank you..."

At the Capital Airport, the cold female voice on the radio was quickly drowned out by the din of voices.

"Brother Qiao, hurry up, let's check in the luggage!" Zhu Zan had sharp ears and realized the moment he heard the broadcast. He was dragging two large suitcases—one belonged to Ge Qiao and the other was his own. , rushed out with a stride, and seized the front of the long line.

And Ge Qiao was still walking slowly in the back, immersed in the conversation with Zhong Mingcan.

"...Didn't I forget that there is such a thing? I have to go to Shanghai for a four-day business trip this week. I am at the airport now. I will return to Pingjing next Monday. I won't be able to go to your house on the weekend."

"So long?!" Zhong Mingcan was surprised and remorseful, "I would have spent more time with you a few days ago, but now I won't see you for a long time."

Ge Qiao laughed silly twice: "Do you understand that Xiao Biesheng is newly married?"

Zhong Mingcan also smirked, and then said: "If you miss me, just give me a call, and I will fly over to accompany you immediately!"

Ge Qiao only thought it was "Zhong-style coquettishness", and followed the words: "Okay, if I miss you, I will call you."

The "business trip" that Ge Qiao mentioned was actually going to attend a four-day media and entertainment industry exchange meeting. A total of colleagues or scholars from six countries participated. It was the meeting schedule, but he didn't look at it carefully at all, and directly pressed it into the bottom of the suitcase.

You don’t need to look at it to know that it must be a particularly difficult four days to listen to the technical terms of birds and birds from various countries.

Originally, no matter what, Ge Qiao and Zhu Zan would not be able to go on a business trip together for a meeting. However, last time because there were vacancies in the exchange meeting, Ge Qiao casually recommended Zhu Zan to the person in charge.This kind of exchange meeting is nothing more than listening to lectures and exchanging opinions. The process is not so strict, and the invitation letter from Zhu Zan was sent over soon.

Zhu Zan looked around along the way, and when he found an opportunity, he showed courtesy to the hero Ge Qiao.He has never been to a southern city, and he is full of novelty. He always feels that even if they belong to the same country, the south and the north are completely different worlds.

I heard that southerners have never even seen snow, can you believe it? !

Ge Qiao felt as if he was traveling with his elder nephew who was not yet fully educated.

Zhu Zanke was very happy. Before he set off, he carefully studied the meeting schedule and found that one day was a free activity. He wanted to take this opportunity to go shopping in Shanghai.

Starting from the airport to the hotel where he was going to stay, he stared at the passing scenery outside the window, twisted his body, muttered words, and from time to time searched for some Shanghai and Shanghai travel guides on the Internet, and then turned to ask Ge Qiao beside him where the car was driving now Which district is it.

Ge Qiao felt like he was traveling with a chattering monkey again.

On the way to the hotel in the bus, Ge Qiao started to browse the schedule.

Departure at [-]:[-] in the morning, arrive in Shanghai at [-]:[-] pm, take a short rest at the hotel, and start the opening ceremony and the first round of lectures by experts and scholars at [-]:[-] pm.

The first day was already overwhelming.

But humans are primates who are good at making fun of suffering.At four o'clock in the afternoon, when walking towards the central hall, Ge Qiao heard several people behind him discussing the popular gossip these days.

"...Wow, why did I hear people say that Dong Linzhi is also the same? How come there are such rumors about her? Didn't it mean that she has many boyfriends?"

"Hey, boyfriends are used to solve physical needs, and can't be used as a criterion for judging whether they are the same or different."

The first person choked for a long time, lowered his voice and said: "But she has never heard of a woman among her gossip partners, hasn't she been rumored to have a gossip with a man named Zhong Mingcan recently?"

"Wow, brother, do you believe this too? After all, they are also working in the media. This is obviously a hype created by the show they participated in!"

Ge Qiao glanced at Zhu Zan subconsciously. This silly monkey still had eyes shining, straightened his back, kept his eyes fixed, and strode forward, oblivious to the discussions behind him.

Ge Qiao withdrew his gaze and stared at the heel of the man walking in front.

Entering the hall, Ge Qiao and Zhu Zan sat in the back row, separated from the people behind, and couldn't continue listening.

At this time, the conversation between the two finally inserted a third voice.

"This topic has been discussed everywhere recently. It feels like everyone in the entertainment industry is crooked..." Halfway through the complaint, the topic changed, "Hey, do you know that there is another news recently, saying that it is Huang Congjiang's couple? There was a problem with the capital chain of this industry. Someone followed the investigation and found that he was not only involved in 'pornography, gambling, and drugs', but also colluded with various political and legal forces..."

"Huang Congjiang?! That financial tycoon? I seem to have seen his name some time ago, but it only appeared for a while, 10 minutes? Then it disappeared, and I didn't even have time to click on the content... Hey, then What else happened? Is there anything else I remember?"

"Wei Linhe," the first person finally said, "is a very popular young actor. He came out of the closet during that time."

"Ah, that's no surprise, there must be more people who know Wei Linhe than Huang Congjiang..." He sneered.

"Hey, there must be something wrong with this matter. The typical entertainment news covers up political and business scandals. I see that Huang Daheng's side is also panicking. This time, he buys gossip and withdraws the heat. It's all clear and dealt with. Not clean either...”

"Hush! Keep your voice down, walls have ears!" The first person stopped the two of them suddenly, he was a little nervous, "It's up to us to decide whether it's clean or not. Whether it's true or not, don't meddle in it. We, the group of young people who work for others with dead wages, can provoke someone like him? Life is the most important thing!"

"Yes, yes..." The other two finally came to their senses, "It's important to save your life, it's important to save your life."

The air was stagnant, and then it became hot again. They probably changed the subject.

"Ge Qiao?" A clear and sweet female voice suddenly came from behind.

Ge Qiao turned around and saw Zhao Weiliang.

"You're here too," she confirmed that the familiar figure was indeed Ge Qiao, she was both surprised and happy, "Wow, we really haven't seen each other for a long time, and you haven't contacted me since you graduated, right?"

Although the voice of this Taiwanese girl is not pretentious, it is still a bit whiny because of the unchangeable tone.

This familiar sweetness made Ge Qiao tremble.

For him now, retrieving those familiar memories does not bring tender nostalgia, but only scares him.

This is Shanghai, and the media industry in Shanghai is so developed that at least half of the people in the School of Journalism of Fuda want to stay here. There will always be someone among those people who will become Ge Qiao's colleague.Therefore, it was inevitable to meet old classmates at this seminar where media people gathered.

Ge Qiao made more or less psychological preparations before coming, but Zhao Weiliang's appearance still made him a little unexpected.

Zhu Zan didn't notice these details. The visitors were all guests, let alone Ge Qiao's old classmate. He smiled friendly and said, "Hi, are you Ge Qiao's college classmate? I'm Ge Qiao's friend. My name is Zhu Zan."

Zhao Weiliang turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked Zhu Zan up and down with great interest.Although this person is usually out of tune, as long as he goes to a public place with people, he will definitely not make any depreciation moves, and even his IQ and EQ can be read immediately.

At first glance, he looked like the clever young son of a nouveau riche family.

Looking at Zhu Zan's handsome face and decent smile, Zhao Weiliang's eyes suddenly lit up, she turned to stare at Ge Qiao, and raised her voice excitedly: "Ge Qiao, could this be..."

"Friend." For some reason, Zhu Zan felt that Ge Qiao's attitude had become more and more indifferent, and he repeated it word by word, "My friend."

"Oh, well, I know, I mean is he yours..."

"Friend." He interrupted her again unceremoniously.

Being cut off repeatedly, for a lady, such a scene was really embarrassing, Zhu Zan wanted to speak to ease the atmosphere, but Zhao Weiliang didn't seem to mind.

She lowered her volume, but her voice was still sharp and thin: "Oh, Ge Qiao, you know, I understand it very well, I won't look down upon it..."

"Shut up." It sounded like Ge Qiao's attitude had dropped to freezing point.

Zhu Zan felt a "thump" in his heart, unconsciously stretched his calf a little, held his breath in his chest, and was ready to play the role of peacemaker at any time.But Ge Qiao quickly eased his tone, his voice was a little jerky: "Stop talking, I beg you, okay?"

Because of this unexpected encounter, Ge Qiao didn't say a word until the end of the opening ceremony.

Because of Ge Qiao's last sentence, Zhu Zan didn't dare to speak up. He didn't dare to ask what happened between the two of them.

Ge Qiao who suddenly begged her for mercy at that moment was very strange, no, it seemed that Ge Qiao had become different since he set foot on the land of Shanghai.

In fact, Ge Qiao was just a little nervous, after all, no one wanted to watch the same nightmare happen again.

As long as you don't touch the past, you'll be fine.

The host's voice came from the stage, and he felt familiar. When he looked up, it turned out to be Zhao Weiliang, and she was the host.

Zhu Zan secretly thought it was not good, which meant that for the next four days, Ge Qiao would have to listen to this woman's voice non-stop. He didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but just listened to the conversation just now, and used his feet to listen to her voice. It's definitely not a good thing to think of it with your fingers.

At this time, Ge Qiao also noticed the person standing in the middle of the stage. Zhao Weiliang was holding a script in his hand, and there was no trace of sweetness in his clear voice. He turned his head and smiled at Zhu Zan, and said, "Let me just say, she looks down on the entertainment industry so much, why did she appear here?" Turning his gaze back, he raised his chin towards the podium, and made a belated speech for Zhu Zan "Her name is Zhao Weiliang. Listen to the witty things she said. I bet there are no words written in the script. Isn't this person amazing?" The host of the school, the main force, a big boss, with a very active mind, there is no situation that she can't control."

"Your relationship...is very good?" You can't ask "very bad" blatantly, Zhu Zan changed his words again.

"It's okay, she's a nice person, enthusiastic and lively, we all stayed in the Art Troupe of the Youth League Committee, and she was my department assistant." She said it sincerely, not like polite words.

Zhu Zan listened attentively to the new information that Ge Qiao inadvertently revealed. It seemed that his elder brother Qiao was also a great figure in college, and he suddenly felt untimely pride in his heart.

He still wanted to keep asking, Ge Qiao never took the initiative to talk about his university, he was very curious.But Ge Qiao's attention was no longer on the host. He lowered his head and flipped through the brochure that everyone received at the entrance of the hall.

"... Next, I invite lawyer Li Guang'an to bring you a wonderful speech on entertainment law and film and television music copyright. Everyone applauds and welcomes you."

Before the clattering applause ended, the colleague sitting in the front row suddenly turned around and said to Ge Qiao: "Brother Da Qiao, this lawyer Li Guangan knows me very well, he asked me about you a while ago, after a while I recommend you both!"

"Huh? What did you mention me for?"

"Who knows, this circle is small in the first place, and you can chat a few words if you just hang out. I guess I've admired your name for a long time. I'm curious. Didn't you never hang out with those big guys? It's so mysterious." Xixi, I don't know how many people would dream of seeing your dragon face..."

"Get out, sit down, and turn around!" Ge Qiao shoved him from behind.

The colleague is still stubborn and will never give in to his lust: "Hey, hey, don't hit me, let me tell you, this Li Guangan is a top lawyer, knowing him will definitely do you no harm..."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know." Getting impatient with the nagging, Ge Qiao simply agreed.

However, it didn't take long for Ge Qiao to regret how he responded to this kind of thing on the spur of the moment.

The person on the stage happened to be talking about the strange phenomenon of plagiarism in the film, television, audio and entertainment industry.Coincidentally, he just started talking about AIX's "Curly Horse" and the web drama "Ziwubuyu" as a case.

"I heard that people from Hertz are here today. Where are you sitting?" The lawyer named Li Guang'an stood in the middle of the stage with a smile on his face, waving his arms, and suddenly shouted into the microphone, "Let me see your hands." !"

Ge Qiao quietly kicked the chair of his colleague in the front row, whispered "don't move", he didn't intend to talk to the person on the stage, like a lunatic.

People in the audience were whispering to each other, and people who knew the Hertz company secretly winked at them, but Ge Qiaoquan pretended not to see or hear them.No one responded, and Li Guangan didn't feel embarrassed at all. He scratched the back of his head, "It seems that they should go to the bathroom together. What a pity, I missed such a long string of rainbow farts I prepared..."

"But it doesn't matter, just while they are away, let's talk a few more words about the topic of "The Color of the Fur Horse". Touting that kind of public praise is called flattery. Now we are talking good things behind people's backs. This is the real hero. The plagiarism incident of "Curma Sensation" can be said to be a rare positive case in recent years, and it is worth learning and learning from..."

"It is easy to use public opinion to accuse plagiarism, but it is difficult to use the law to convict plagiarism. I believe that the media people must understand the subtle relationship better than I do. I just talked about entertainment law, which is a very new concept. Before understanding it, we first need to understand what the entertainment industry is. Of course, I prefer to call it the 'pan-entertainment industry'. Why? Because its concept is very broad, as long as it is something that entertains people, Everything can be divided into pan-entertainment, such as football matches, entertainment gossip, a song you listen to, a movie you watch, or a book you read.”

"It's not enough to just have fun, the so-called 'law' is something that restricts you from having fun..."

The speech continues.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the first day's exchange meeting came to an end.

People left in twos and threes, some went to the restaurant on the first floor for food, and some were going back to the hotel to rest.

But Ge Qiao couldn't go anywhere, he was dragged by his colleagues to meet the lawyer named Li Guang'an.To die together, Ge Qiao dragged Zhu Zan to be buried with him.

Just after listening to him talk for 45 minutes, Ge Qiao knew that he didn't like that person very much, he was glib and seemed particularly difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, his intuition never went wrong.

Li Guang'an just ended his conversation with an elder. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, suave and suave. He looked about the same age as Ge Qiao, and indeed he had a good skin.Seeing Ge Qiao and the others rushing towards him, they blew a hooligan whistle when they came up, and grabbed the colleague's shoulders: "Hey, did you bring two new guests?"

The colleague broke away from Li Guangan's hug. This old friend's hand was so strong that he was very uncomfortable. He still hadn't forgotten the business, so he introduced him familiarly: "This is... Lawyer Li Guangan, my friend. This It's Ge Qiao, Mr. Ge, the media director of the Hertz company we mentioned last time, and the person next to him is Zhu Zan, a new director of Pingjing TV."

"Hey, they are all elites," Li Guang'an sighed, and stretched out his hand to Ge Qiao, "Hello, hello, I have heard about you for a long time, and it's the first time we meet, Mr. Ge is as good as the rumors, a handsome talent."

Ge Qiao smiled politely, clasped it back, and said, "Don't dare, you are the one with both talent and appearance. Your speech just now was very exciting."

"Did you listen?" Li Guangan said with surprise, "I thought you guys missed my part, so you also heard me comment on the plagiarism incident of "Curma Sensation"?"

"Sorry, we are late, and only heard your later opinions on entertainment law."

"It's such a pity, I've stood on stage and praised your company for a long time!" Li Guangan curled his lips, his reaction always made Ge Qiao feel uncomfortable, it seems that the meaning expressed in every movement of his is extremely accurate And it was obvious, but it was not sincere at all, as if he had already calculated it, he continued, "The timing of those screenshots is really just right, I'm afraid it won't have such a good effect if you take a step too late. I wondered whether it was the people behind the scenes who were really so powerful, or was it a mistake. When I saw you today, I figured it out. A beauty like you will be favored by God when he sees it. His talent and luck must be excellent."

Zhu Zan, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but "Wow", this person's rainbow fart skills are much better than his own.

But Ge Qiao didn't buy it. He discerned that the key to the words was the words "people behind the scenes", and said with a smirk: "It's nonsense to say that our company plagiarized, I can only say Good and evil will eventually be rewarded."

Li Guangan still smiled brightly: "Whether it is plagiarism or not, I believe your company has already figured it out. Although I am a lawyer, I am not righteous enough to meddle in other people's business. This matter has nothing to do with me. Don't worry, I am I won't talk too much. I just admire you very much, very..." He dragged out the ending, thought for a moment, and thought of a word, "I like you very much!"

Ge Qiao smiled steadily: "Thank you for your love, thank you."

"Could you exchange your contact information?" Li Guangan took out his phone while speaking.

Ge Qiao didn't move.

Li Guangan's hand to hand the phone remained frozen in mid-air.

Colleagues stood aside and looked at it and thought it was not good. He also knew that Ge Qiao didn't like to attend industry gatherings because he wanted to avoid this kind of inexplicable, unsure of whether it was for business or personal reasons. Now Li Guangan is like a dude Hurrying to step on the bottom line of others, Ge Qiao didn't just walk away, it was already a great deal of face for him.

And before his colleagues came up with a solution to the embarrassment, Zhu Zan, as an old friend who had followed Ge Qiao for five years, had already figured out Ge Qiao's temper. Go up relaxed and happy: "It is our honor to know an excellent lawyer like you. Or you can leave your mobile phone number first. When you are free next time, the four of us can make an appointment to have a meal together."

Ge Qiao still didn't move, but the smile on his face was deeper than before, which was probably a kind of acquiescence.

Hearing the sound, Li Guangan turned his head and glanced sideways at Zhu Zan. He put his mobile phone back into his trouser pocket, raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little playful. He whistled again and watched Looking into Zhu Zan's eyes, his tone was more relaxed and cheerful than his, and one could tell that he was joking: "Forget it, I don't like you."

After finishing speaking, he put his arm around the shoulder of the bewildered colleague, and walked away in the opposite direction.

It was as if the failed hookup just now had never happened.

"Let's go," Ge Qiao called Zhu Zan. He was rejected too hard just now, and he was a little lost for a while. Ge Qiao patted him on the shoulder to show his relief, and he was really satisfied with Zhu Zan's performance in his heart, "You just now You did the right thing, don't tell anyone your mobile phone number casually in the future, in case the other party is crazy, we can't deal with patients, it will be contagious."

Although this article is called "Aesthetics of Violence", it is not violent at all. There is no big villain in the traditional sense, so it is not very touching.

It seems that few of them are worthy of moral condemnation. If you think about it from their perspective, their behavior can be understood.

But if they're not bad, it's not the same thing... Maybe we need to speculate a few times without character preference.

Welcome everyone to be active in the psychological activities of the "KY" characters~
