The outdated CP is popular again [Entertainment Circle]
Chapter 5 Answer
Shan Juanzhi's role was completed a week later. On the day of the wrap, the director, who had shown him a lot of goodwill, held a wrap party for him and secretly gave him a big red envelope.
Shan Juanzhi pinched out the thickness and refused: "Director Song, you are too polite. I can't accept it."
Director Song rarely meets an actor he likes, so he took good care of him during filming. Now that Shan Juanzhi is leaving, he feels a little reluctant.
"Why are you being so polite to me? I'll be angry if you don't accept it."
The two clinked glasses. Director Song drank a few glasses and got a little tipsy. He spoke to Shan Juanzhi from the bottom of his heart: "I am very satisfied with you. You are a talented actor and hardworking. Sooner or later, you will be able to reach the top of this industry."
"But I think you're worrying too much. It's better to be calm in life. It just so happens that the filming has been completed. Take some time off and relax."
Shan Juanzhi raised his glass and said, "Director Song, thank you."
As they drank and chatted, it was already late at night. The assistant, who was afraid of drinking, took the tipsy Shan Juanzhi back to the car. The luggage from the hotel had been packed in advance and was now piled in the trunk.
The assistant nudged Shan Juanzhi a few times and asked, "Brother Shan, are we going back to the apartment?"
Shan Juanzhi closed his eyes, his cheeks flushed, and his brows furrowed in discomfort, "Go home."
Assistant: "Back to the apartment?"
Shan Juanzhi was impatient: "Go home!"
The assistant was helpless: "But I don't know where your home is."
Shan Juanzhi unbuttoned his collar and muttered, "Call him and go home!"
"Who are you calling?" The assistant was overwhelmed and asked again. The drunk Shan Juanzhi fell asleep again.
The assistant had no choice but to ask the driver to drive the person to the apartment arranged by the company.
When they arrived at the destination, Shan Juanzhi woke up again, opened his eyes and looked out the window at the place, but refused to get out of the car and insisted: "I want to go home."
The assistant wanted to cry but had no tears. It was already eleven o'clock. If he kept wasting time, it would be tomorrow. He could only ask Shan Juanzhi with a bitter face: "Brother Shan, do you have your home address? I can go home if I have the address."
Shan Juanzhi half-closed his eyes as if he was thinking. Under the expectant gazes of the assistant and the driver, a minute later, Shan Juanzhi tilted his head and fell asleep on the seat again.
Assistant: "Hurry, hurry, send Shan back home and we'll run."
The two men helped Shan Juanzhi, who had fallen asleep drunk, to the apartment. The door of the Shan Juanzhi's home had a password lock. The young assistant entered the password to open the door. The decoration of the house was exactly the same as when he first came here two years ago.
The driver exclaimed: "Brother Shan's house is so new."
Who says it isn’t? It’s no different from a newly-delivered model house.
The assistant said: "I don't know why Shan Ge works so hard. He is on the set almost all year round and rarely comes home."
The assistant remade the bed in the bedroom, replaced the new sheets and quilt covers in the closet, and settled Shan Juanzhi down. The two of them left the bedroom, and the driver seemed curious and asked, "Don't you know where Shan Ge's home is?"
The assistant shook his head: "I know he is from this city, but I have never heard him mention where he lives. He usually stays here. It seems that Shan Ge's relatives are all abroad. Maybe he doesn't have many acquaintances here."
He remembered the phone call that Shan Juanzhi asked him to make in the car.
Who should I call?
Someone who can be trusted when drunk must have a good relationship with Brother Shan, right?
Being drunk is not a pleasant feeling. At four o'clock in the morning, Shan Juanzhi woke up from the bed, turned over, sat up, rushed to the bathroom and vomited everything in his stomach.
After spending a few hours on the sofa in the living room, the assistant, who was drowsy and heard noises from the bedroom, walked to the bedroom and knocked on the door twice.
"Brother Shan?"
A minute later, Shan Juanzhi opened the door from the inside. His face was pale, there was a dark spot under his eyes, and his voice was hoarse. When he tried to speak, only a broken voice came out.
Shan Juanzhi touched his throat and frowned. The assistant understood what he meant at a glance.
"I'll go get you some water, please stop talking."
Shan Juanzhi nodded and mouthed to him: Thank you.
The young assistant doesn't have any other advantages, but he is diligent. He boiled some water before going to bed, and it is still warm now.
Shan Juanzhi sat on the sofa in a daze, with a glass of water and a plate of Sterculia lychnophora in front of him.
The young assistant yawned, leaned against the sofa with a pillow in his arms, unable to open his eyes. In order to cheer himself up, he could only find something to talk about.
"Brother Shan, you were drunk last night and kept clamoring to go home."
Shan Juanzhi swallowed the water in his mouth with difficulty and his lips moved.
The assistant continued to talk to himself: "I asked you where your home was, but you didn't tell me. The driver and I could only take you here."
"By the way, you also asked me to call someone."
Shan Juanzhi put the cup in his hand, looking a little uneasy.
The assistant said, "But you didn't tell me who it was, so I didn't hit him."
Shan Juanzhi seemed to be relieved and typed a line of words on his mobile phone and placed it in front of the assistant.
- Sorry to bother you, I always forget what I do when I'm drunk, so please ignore me if I make any weird requests.
The assistant waved his hand and said, "You are very carefree after getting drunk, but you just want to go home. Where is your home? Do you need me to send you back next time this happens?"
Shan Juanzhi did not answer his question, but showed him the typed words.
——Do you have any work arrangements recently?
The assistant thought for a moment and said, "You only need to go to Gaoheng Technology in the afternoon today. I see you look so unhappy. Would you like to go and rest for a while?"
Shan Juanzhi shook his head and transferred a big red envelope to the assistant.
——I have my own plans. Thank you for your hard work. You can go home and rest in the morning and come to pick me up in the afternoon.
Shan Juanzhi lay in bed until seven o'clock. There was a large floor-to-ceiling window on the south side of the bedroom. The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the beige curtains and fell on the wooden floor in front of the bed. Shan Juanzhi squinted his eyes and stared at the blurry ball of light hidden behind the curtains for a long time.
Zheng Xixi sent him a message, reminding him to go to Gaoheng Technology at two o'clock in the afternoon to experience the new technology that Li Wenlu highly recommended.
For some reason, he added another one below.
——Lu Hechuan seems to have something to do and won’t go with us today.
Shan Juanzhi buried his head in the cup and bit a corner of the quilt and tore it apart.
At eight o'clock, he went out wearing a baseball cap and a mask. He was wearing a plain sweatshirt and black overalls. If you didn't look at his face carefully, he was just a big boy with a particularly tall and outstanding figure.
Shan Juanzhi went to the garage and found a not-so-luxurious Mercedes-Benz. This was the first car he bought after signing the contract with Nian Xia. As he made more and more money afterwards, he could buy more luxurious cars without any regrets. However, he was too busy, so after buying them, he could only put them in the garage and rarely had the chance to drive them out.
He was familiar with every corner of this city, as this was where he had grown up. Driving from the east to the west of the city, his destination this time was an area of old villas here.
He parked his car outside the community and walked into the community, but was stopped by the security guard at the gate.
"No strangers are allowed in without a pass."
Shan Juanzhi took off his mask and smiled faintly at the man who had worked here for nearly 30 years: "Uncle, I forgot to bring it."
The security guard saw that it was him and stammered, "Xiao Dan, hey, why are you back?"
The security guard hurriedly opened the door and trotted out of the security room with an excited smile on his face, "You kid, you haven't been back for five years, how come you still remember where your home is?"
Shan Juanzhi also smiled: "Remember, I won't forget it."
"Humph, you still have the nerve to say that. You left without saying anything five years ago, and last week the kid next door asked me if you had returned home. Look, he's still thinking about you."
The smile on Shan Juanzhi's face faded, "Is he still living here?"
Security guard: "Yes, most of the people who lived here have left. Those who stayed here probably have something they can't let go of."
Shan Juanzhi suddenly changed his mind: "Uncle, I won't go in yet. If anyone asks me about my return, just say you don't know."
The security guard said "eh", not knowing why he changed his mind when he got to the door. However, when he thought of Shan Juanzhi's current occupation, he agreed: "I understand. You celebrities have to keep your privacy confidential. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone who asks me."
Shan Juanzhi thanked him and returned to the car along the same route. He looked at the entrance of the community from across the street for a long time, finally started the car, turned around and left.
In the afternoon, the driver's car arrived at the downstairs of the apartment building on time. Shan Juanzhi changed into semi-formal clothes and took the car to the address of Gaoheng Technology.
Gao Heng Technology's address is not in the city center, and it is not even in a prosperous area, but in a piece of empty land in the suburbs. In Cheng City, where every inch of land is valuable, even in the suburbs, having such a large piece of land can show that Gao Heng Technology has strong funds.
There is a lake next to the company. The water in the lake is clear and sparkles with tiny lights from a distance in clear weather.
The assistant leaned against the window to admire the view and exclaimed, "The environment here is so good. There is no noise, and when you open the window you can still see the lake and green mountains. People who work at Gaoheng must be very comfortable."
Zheng Xixi had originally planned to come along today, but another artist under him had a problem on the set and he had to step in to handle it, so the three people in the car came along.
The building of Gaoheng Technology looks very ordinary from the outside, but only when you go inside can you see the grandeur of Gaoheng.
Because the company's main business is new technologies that are just beginning to develop on the market, high-tech equipment can be seen everywhere in the building.
The young assistant looked at the object standing in the hall, which simulated an independent space with new technology. When he got closer, he was so shocked by the overly realistic effect that he couldn't close his mouth.
"This is too real, come here and touch it, it's exactly the same as the real thing!"
The woman in charge of reception was very calm when she saw his imitation of Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She said sincerely, "It is still a little different from the actual situation. The company is still improving this technology. We are confident that in the near future it will be the same as the real thing, or even better than the real thing."
As he got closer, Shan Juanzhi finally understood the source of Li Wenlu's confidence.
It is really shocking. Gao Heng has achieved real scene simulation with technology.
He began to look forward to the changes that this technology would bring to the industry when applied to movies.
A vice president of technology at Gao Heng took Shan Juanzhi and his team to experience a non-realistic scene simulated by the company, and also demonstrated how the scene and weather could be switched within seconds.
Shan Juanzhi was completely relieved. After leaving Gaoheng Technology, he called Zheng Xixi and said, "Brother Zheng, I will definitely make good use of this opportunity. Thank you for fighting for this role for me."
When Zheng Xixi heard him say that, he knew that Gao Heng's people were not bragging. Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful that he couldn't go and watch it together. Looking at the crew who were in chaos, he couldn't help but say something coldly to the bewildered stage workers.
On the way back to the apartment, Shan Juanzhi saw the news that the young star Xu Ningxu was hit by a prop on the set and might have injured her face. She then understood why Zheng Xixi was so upset on the phone.
This kind of low-probability event happens only once in a while, but artists who experience it may face the possibility of exiting the industry.
If not handled properly, it will cause huge losses to the artists, the management companies, and the crew.
In the evening, Shan Juanzhi saw the outcome of the incident. The crew issued an apology statement on their official account, confessing that the cause of the accident was a worker's inadequate work, and proposed specific compensation measures for Xu Ningxu who was still in the hospital.
The next day, Shan Juanzhi went to the company. Zheng Xixi was still dissatisfied when talking about this matter. The artists under him had never suffered such a big loss. It would be a relief for him to suffer the least loss under such an irresponsible crew.
Shan Juanzhi had worked with Xu Ningxu once before, so he asked about her situation.
Zheng Xixi has been busy since yesterday. Although she is tired, she is not ready to rest. She said, "It's just a small wound on her face. It will heal soon. But her right arm is broken. She is still in the hospital. I was planning to go see her. It just so happens that you have been having a sore throat recently. Come with me."
Shan Juanzhi bought a fruit basket on the way there. Xu Ningxu was receiving treatment at a private hospital with good privacy. Although her injuries were unclear on the Internet and various speculations were flying around, there were no media outlets that were obviously waiting near the hospital.
After entering the hospital, the two of them just asked about the location of the ward when they saw Lu Hechuan coming in from outside. Without looking in their direction, he went straight into the elevator, which happened to be Xu Ningxu's floor.
Shan Juanzhi and Zheng Xixi were waiting for the next elevator. After they got in, Zheng Xixi suddenly remembered something and said to Shan Juanzhi, "Come to think of it, I also dealt with the scandal between Xu Ningxu and Lu Hechuan before."
Shan Juanzhi's eyes were fixed on the ripe mangoes in the fruit basket. As soon as the elevator door opened, he stuffed the fruit plate into Zheng Xixi's hands and said quickly, "I'm going to the bathroom and won't go to Xu Ningxu's place. Please bring this fruit basket to her for me."
Zheng Xixi hadn't finished her words yet. She watched Shan Juanzhi rushing away and muttered the last sentence, "But before I could make a move, Lu Hechuan took care of it. He clarified it if he wanted to, but he said he was destroying his innocence. Bah, it's like we're paying for him. Even a virgin girl can't be as hypocritical as him."
