upper [entertainment circle]

Square Building basement.

Bai Tianheng leaned against the car door and smoked a cigarette silently. In the sweet smell of tobacco, he took a short time to recall what he was doing in those years without Jiang Zhan.

Go to school, film, win awards.

After the sentence "gone", he didn't contact anyone related to Jiang Zhan, let alone heard any news about Jiang Zhan.

More than a year ago, when he was preparing to take a break from filming, he accidentally heard that Jiang Zhan was abroad because he was dragged into the wechat group of his high school classmates.

Hearing that Jiang Zhan was abroad, he went abroad, but he didn't inquire more carefully, nor did he think about reuniting. Until not long ago, someone in the classmate group posted a photo of Jiang Zhan at the domestic airport.

Bai Tianheng's hand that crushed the cigarette trembled slightly. Now he finally knew why Jiang Zhan was so thin.

Jujia Xie stood beside the car, holding the car ashtray in his hand, and asked cautiously, "Are you going up?"

Bai Tianheng threw a half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray, walked around the front of the car with an unclear expression, and opened the driver's door.

Xie at home was frightened to death, and quickly got into the car from the passenger side: "Are you crazy for racing in broad daylight!?"

The car door slammed shut, and Bai Tianheng put on his seat belt: "No racing."

At home, Xie Shen was afraid that he would leave after driving, half of them were in the car, half of them were outside, and their hands were still firmly on the car door: "Then where are you going?"

Bai Tianheng didn't talk nonsense: "Either get in the car, or get off."

Jujia Xie decisively chose to get in the car.

The tires of the full-time four-wheel drive made a sharp sound on the ground, and the car drove out of the parking space at a rapid speed. At home, Xie quickly put on his seat belt, raised his hand to hold the handle of the roof, and looked nervously at the front of the car: "Say yes Yes, no drag racing!"

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Bai Tianheng pressed the phone's voice button with his free hand, and threw the phone on the center console of the car: "Call my brother-in-law."

Cell phone voice: "Calling 'brother-in-law'."

Thank you at home and turn your head, brother-in-law?

There was a beeping sound of dialing the phone in the car audio, and after a while, the call was connected.

Song You: "Fart fast, I'm very busy."

Bai Tianheng was holding the steering wheel, his voice did not fluctuate: "Where is the VCR recorded, give me the address."

Song You directly hung up the phone.

Bai Tianheng pressed the voice button again: "Call my brother-in-law."

Cell phone voice: "Calling 'brother-in-law'."

Song You answered quickly, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Bai Tianheng: "You can choose, or I will directly ask Jiang Zhan about his family right now."

After a few seconds of silence on the phone, Song You cursed, gave an address fiercely, and hung up the phone.

Bai Tianheng drove the car to the intersection, turned the steering wheel to the left and turned around.

Jujia Xie finally came to his senses: Wait, why does this brother-in-law's voice sound so much like Mr. Song from Alien Entertainment?

When we arrived at the community, we drove to the underground garage for visitors, and Song Youren was already waiting.

As soon as Bai Tianheng's car pulled into the parking space, Song You opened the door and sat in the back row. Regardless of the extra person present, he just sprayed: "Bai Tianheng, what's wrong with you!?"

Bai Tianheng pulled off his seat belt, his tone was unhurried, and he sounded unexpectedly polite: "Don't be angry, brother-in-law, I'll just come and ask something, and I'll leave after I finish."

Said and signaled the co-pilot's Jujia Xie to get out of the car.

Jujia Xie had good eyesight, took off his seat belt and got out of the car, closed the car door and ran to the elevator, just in time to meet Xiao Zhang waiting in the elevator room.

Xiao Zhang came down with Song You, and was also waiting for the boss. While waiting, he sent a voice message in the employee group: "When you enter the mobile service app, you must log in first, and then look for the input of Xtreme Idol on the homepage."

Xiao Zhang: "After entering the Extreme Idol voting channel, you can vote. You can vote every three hours, up to eight times a day."

Xiao Zhang: "All votes for the number one Jiang Zhan."

Home Xie slowly turned his head.

Xiao Zhang: "Every time you vote, take a screenshot in the group. After these two weeks pass, I will count this part of your performance separately into the year-end bonus for you."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked back at Jujia to thank him, with the mobile phone still in his mouth: "Thanks for your hard work, everyone."

Thank you at home: "?"

Xiao Zhang: "?"

Thank you at home: "??"

Xiao Zhang: "??"

"You are..." Jujia Xie quickly guessed: "Is your boss Mr. Song?"

Xiao Zhang also quickly understood: "Your boss is Bai Yingdi?"

Jujia nodded in thanks, and extended his hand politely: "Nice to meet you." Xiao Zhang stretched out his hand: "Nice to meet you."

After shaking hands, no one looked at anyone, and each stood on one side of the elevator.

friendly?What are you kidding?The attitude between bosses is the attitude between assistants.The two people in the car wanted to kill each other, and it was polite for them not to tear each other face to face.

inside the car.

When Song You mentioned Jiang's family, he was a little irritable: "There is nothing to ask. Since you know everything, why do you ask? Jiang Zhan's parents are long gone, and his company has gone bankrupt long ago. He went abroad to give Is it alright for Auntie to heal her illness?"

Song Youren was in the back row, looking at the front seat: "I'm sorry to trouble you too, don't ask Jiang Zhan, he's such a proud person, he wouldn't want to dig that scar in front of anyone."

"Why didn't you say it before?" Bai Tianheng's voice came from the front, sounding very calm: "Sexual orientation is more important than these?"

Would rather tell him that Jiang Zhan likes boys than tell him what Jiang Zhan has experienced in the past few years?

Song You exploded when he heard it: "Fuck, the surname is Bai, you should figure it out. With Jiang Zhan's pride, he won't think about those things being dug out, okay? I didn't say a word that shouldn't be said, I picked what I could say, why do you think I should tell you about Jiang Zhan's sexual orientation? Isn't it just because I saw that Jiang Zhan liked you a little before? Why should I take the initiative to contact you if it is not for this? You are Am I a fart here?"

Song You: "You put me here to help Jiang Zhan start a new life. What obligation do I have to tell you about those things?"

Song You: "Why do you ask me if you want to know? Ask that Bai Lianhua named Yao, he was still there when I broke up with Jiang Zhan, he doesn't know much more than I do!"

When he was about to get out of the car, the door was locked.

Song You: "Bai Tianheng!"

Bai Tianheng leaned in the driver's seat all the time, did not move, Song You roared out, he pressed the door unlock button, turned around, raised his red eyes.

It was very rare that there was no trace of extra emotion in those eyes, and they were unusually calm.

It was also very rare for Bai Tianheng to face Song You without ridicule or cold face.

He just told Song You: "The program team already knows about Jiang Zhan's family."

Song You's raging anger was instantly extinguished in Bai Tianheng's negotiable attitude - on Jiang Zhan's side, two people who had no friendship even had a tacit understanding.All fighting can be temporarily put down.

Song You withdrew his hand to push the car door, sat back again, stretched his legs, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "If you know it, you know it. I didn't expect to be able to hide it from the program crew." After a pause, "It's enough to keep the audience secret in the show."

Bai Tianheng: "I can't hide it."

Song You: "I can't hide it."

Bai Tianheng: "I can't hide it."

Song You: "I can't hide it!"

Bai Tianheng had to remind: "This is the entertainment industry."

In the entertainment circle, it doesn't matter what can be concealed publicly, there is never an impenetrable wall, as long as one more person knows, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Jiang Zhan is currently ranked first in the hottest variety show in the summer, and the traffic, popularity, and exposure rate are all too eye-catching.

Today he personally admitted that his parents are gone, maybe at night, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe even within a few hours, the news will be spread.

The proud son of heaven on the draft stage turned out to have a broken family and both parents died.

There is so much explosive content, and most people want to find opportunities to expose it, attract traffic, gain attention, gain popularity, and eat human blood.

When public opinion ferments, who can guarantee control of the scene?How would Jiang Zhan face those uproarious voices?

None of these can be covered up by a vcr.

Song You said quietly: "It seems that you can only come out of the closet to divert the public's attention."

Bai Tianheng glanced at Song You silently, and subconsciously said: "Wealthy marriages are also popular among ordinary people."

Song You stared at the front row: "Is this your true love?"

Bai Tianheng glanced at the back row: "Your friendship?"

Song You sat up and gave it all up: "Forget it, I'll do it, come out, get married with a wealthy family, and I'll go up and tell my mother right now that I'm going to marry Jiang Zhan abroad." After finishing speaking, he slammed the door and left people.

Bai Tianheng followed and got out of the car: "Brother-in-law, calm down and say something."

Song You turned his head angrily: "Find it out, who is your brother-in-law? I am a love rival who wants to steal someone from you!"

Bai Tianheng: "How much did the VCR upstairs take?"

Song You: "You can control it?"

Bai Tianheng: "You have to see the reality clearly, the six characters of coming out, rich family, marriage and love, now only 'hao' has something to do with you."

The two walked into the elevator while fighting.

Xie turned around at home: "Boss."

Xiao Zhang turned around: "President Song."

The four entered the elevator together.

Song You continued to spray Bai Tianheng: "No one wants to invite you to my house! Get out!"

Bai Tianheng stayed there leisurely: "You won't be the only one who wants to record VCR."

Song You: "Yes, that's right, and my mother! When I marry Jiang Zhan abroad, my mother will be Jiang Zhan's mother!"

Bai Tianheng: "Oh, our mother is here."

Home Xie & Xiao Zhang: "???"

Song You was startled: "Bai Tianheng, how can you be so shameless?"

The redness in Bai Tianheng's eyes gradually faded, and he returned to normal. He smiled and said calmly, "I'll call you brother-in-law. Isn't your mother Jiang Zhan's mother? Of course Jiang Zhan's mother is also my mother."

Song You & Xiao Zhang: "????"

Jujia Xie silently raised his hand to cover his face: Damn, my boss is not a man anymore.

When the elevator reached the top floor, Song You couldn't stop Bai Tianheng at all. As soon as the elevator door opened, there was a side hall of the villa. As soon as Bai Tianheng came out, he raised his voice: "Mom!"

Song You: "?!!!"

Song You hurriedly raised his hand to grab him: "Okay, I'll listen to you! What do you want to say?"

Bai Tianheng turned to look at Song You, stretched out his hand, palm facing up: "Cooperation?"

Song You had a look of forbearance and disgust, but there was nothing he could do, it was all because of Jiang Zhan.He raised his arm and slapped Bai Tianheng's palm like a thug: "Come on!"

Beside, Xiao Zhang and Ju Jiaxie looked at each other silently, smiled at each other friendly, and shook hands hypocritically again: "Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you." "It's a pleasure to meet you."

When Jiang Zhan came out of the conference room, he felt okay.

He originally thought that he would be very shy, but when he said it, he realized that the words "my parents have passed away" were quite simple.

When he came out, Qi Meng apologized to him, thinking that he had brought up a topic that made him sad.

Jiang Zhan felt okay, he was much calmer than he expected.

Back in the training room, everything is as usual, but the topic among the students today has a lot more about family and parents.

"I don't know what this VCR records."

"Recorded your mother broke the news that you pick your feet at home when you are free?"

"Screw you."

"My parents have never seen anything in the world, so I don't know if looking at the camera will cause stage fright."

"Don't worry, recording a cheering vcr for my son is a matter of confidence, and I won't be stage fright."

"Oh, I haven't seen my mother for a long time."

"What does your mother do?"

"My mother opened a store, which is the kind of woolen store in a university town. It sells woolen yarn in winter, and closes it for short-term rental in summer to sell Liangpi to others."

"You said I was greedy, I want to eat Liangpi."

Regarding the topic of parents and family, everyone had something to talk about anyway, and Jiang Zhan's strange silence seemed particularly abrupt in it.

The VJ teacher in the training room has been paying special attention to him, but suddenly received a notice saying that Jiang Zhan's part should not be filmed more.

Without the camera, Jiang Zhan became even more silent.

Qi Yan and Cheng Chen in the same training room also asked him: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Zhan: "It's okay."

Cheng Chen: "Are you feeling unwell? Are you too tired recently?"

Jiang Zhan shook his head.

Peng Xing grabbed a bottle of water and walked over while drinking: "Brother, your mother..." After saying three words, Wei Xiaofei and Cong Yu grabbed his mouth and dragged him away.

Peng Xing: "Huh? Huh? Huh?"

Cheng Chen and Qi Yan also sensed that something was wrong, looked at each other, and quietly withdrew.

Several big boys gathered in the stairwell. Teacher VJ was carrying the machine and wanted to follow, but Zhen Zhaoxi blocked him from the security door.

Peng Xing's mind hadn't turned around: "You guys are doing kidnapping."

Cong Yu kicked it over, turned off the mic, and sprayed: "You're stupid!"

Peng Xing blinked: "Why?"

Fei Hai and the others were picking wheat: "Didn't you notice that when we were talking about VCR, parents, and family, Brother Zhan didn't talk much?"

Zhen Zhaoxi: "The person who usually has the best energy and can talk about everything is too abnormal today."

Qi Yan: "Did something happen at home?"

Cheng Chen: "What could happen? Are your parents divorced? It's okay."

Wei Xiaofei: "Not like."

Several people looked at each other and began to think in the worst direction.

Fei Hai: "It can't be..."

Xu Beibao: "Bah, bah, don't think badly! Don't even think about it!"

The training room was empty at once. Jiang Zhan sat on a table against the wall, bent his knees and hugged his legs.

He was in a daze, with his back arched, his chin on his knees, and there happened to be a fixed camera position on the wall not far away, and the camera captured his stunned expression clearly.

The staff watching the monitor in the background happened to see this scene, and the screen was adjusted to zoom in, and observed for a while——

Jiang Zhan kept his posture, sitting in a daze for several minutes, then suddenly sniffed, rubbing the tip of his nose vigorously back and forth on his arm, and the corners of his eyes were a little red.

The two staff members watching the monitor glanced at each other and sighed—the situation at Jiang Zhan's house was basically known to the entire program team.

"Will this state affect the finals later? Tell the director."

"Let's talk, I don't think he is suitable for training now, it's better to take a rest."

In the end, the rest arranged by the director was to let Jiang Zhan go downstairs.

Jiang Zhan: "Go downstairs?"

He came to inform his staff: "Yes, director Bai is back, waiting for you downstairs." After speaking, he left without even arranging for the VJ to follow.

Jiang Zhan left the training room and made a video call to Bai Tianheng before taking the elevator downstairs.

Once connected, Jiang Zhan teased at the phone: "Mr. Bo, you are finally back."

There is a problem with the current mobile phone. The videos all come with beautification, and the filter is so thick that the red corners of the eyes can't be seen clearly. Even so, Bai Tianheng can tell that Jiang Zhan's state is not right-his eyes are swaying from side to side, It seems to be watching the road while watching the video, but it is actually avoiding looking at the camera.

Bai Tianheng remained calm: "Come down quickly, there are fans at the door."

Jiang Zhan pressed the elevator button: "If you have a basement, don't you go to the door?"

Bai Tianheng said lazily, "Yes, waiting to be photographed."

Jiang Zhan: "Are you going to be aboveboard again?"

Bai Tianheng: "Well, if you don't want to be open and aboveboard, you can directly disclose it."

One sentence made the two of them laugh.

At the beginning of the draft, in the student dormitory building, Bai Tianheng was also waiting at the door in the car, and the two joked with each other via video.

In a blink of an eye, there were only two rounds left in the draft, and Bai Tianheng was still waiting downstairs in the car, and the two of them joked on video.

When the elevator arrived, Jiang Zhan couldn't help laughing: "Hang up, I'm in the elevator, just wait."

Bai Tianheng sat in the car and looked at the camera: "It's okay, I'll wait forever."

Jiang Zhan snorted, "Where did you learn the rustic love talk?"

After hanging up the video, Jiang Zhan entered the elevator. He didn't bring anything with him. He only had himself and a mobile phone. His hands were empty, just like his mood at the moment.

He's not stupid either. Seeing that the students avoided him, the staff and the VJ teacher stopped following him, he knew that his situation should have spread widely.

Bai Tianheng...should know it too.

It's nothing, Jiang Zhan told himself, Bai Tianheng will know sooner or later.

But Jiang Zhan's pride did not allow himself to be so frustrated. During the elevator's descent, he tried to adjust his mood, but unfortunately his mood today was like a wooden bucket filled with sand. No matter how much he pulled the bucket to the surface of the water, it would eventually sink to the bottom.

When approaching the first floor, Jiang Zhan sighed heavily, forget it, that's it.

When he arrived at the lobby on the first floor, he asked the staff for a mask.

The staff looked at him very nervously, and while holding the mask, asked in a low voice: "Do you want a hat?"

Jiang Zhan smiled: "A mask is fine."

Putting on a mask and walking towards the door, as soon as he showed up, there were screams outside the building one after another.

Bai Tianheng got off the car and greeted him.

Jiang Zhan's gaze moved from the scorching sunlight outside the building to the support team not far away, and then to the man walking towards him.

The summer heat was instantly separated with screams. The moment Jiang Zhan saw Bai Tianheng, he couldn't hear anything but the man in front of him.

When Bai Tianheng came closer, Jiang Zhan's inner struggle disappeared in an instant, allowing the bucket filled with sand to sink deeper and deeper.

He raised his reddish eyes behind the mask, and said softly, "Bai Tianheng."

Bai Tianheng looked at him quietly.

Jiang Zhan: "I have no home."
