When Careeraholic Meets Workaholic

Bai Lian was called back by his manager. Low-level signed artists like them don't need to go back to the company when they have nothing to do, so they might not see their manager once a week.

His manager was a middle-aged woman with very short hair, who was talking to a young child in the room. When Bai Lian knocked on the door, she glanced at him and let him in.

"You go out first." She called the young child away, then looked at Bai Lian, and said, "It's just a matter of calling you here, I heard that the crew of "God Says" wants to sign you as the leading actor, is there such a thing? "

Bai Lian shook his head.

The agent's hopeful expression turned cold instantly, and he frowned, "Then why were you there when Mr. Hui passed by last time? Did you seek resources by yourself? Please tell me about this kind of thing next time." , when Mr. Hui asked me, do you know how embarrassed I am, and it doesn’t sound good when you do this kind of thing. You are a man. I can understand if a woman goes to Mr. Zhou. What did you do in the past? It’s not good to say One point, do you really think that some things can be settled after a night's sleep? He's the leading actor, not five men and six men, and he also makes money for filming, how much are you worth?"

Bai Lian's face flushed, "Sister Li, isn't what you said too harsh? I have done something shameless. You have seen it with your own eyes, or heard it with your own ears!"

"Who can't see your thoughts? How long have I been in this industry, if I dare to do it or not admit it, I'm doomed to be worthless!"

Bai Lian was laughed angrily, and said solemnly: "Yeah, not tactful, not compromising the rules, not flattering, not filial to you, really worthless."

In the last sentence, I finally couldn't hold back and lifted this layer of "fig leaf".

Bai Lian is not a person who is good at socializing, and he has no way to lick his face and go around this manager. Of course, because he really has no money, he has no way to honor his manager, so his development has not been good.

He is not sensible, his mouth is not sweet, he is too dull, so he is worthless.

You step on it, I step on it, just step on him at the bottom of the company, and ignore him with peace of mind.

Bai Lian had a quarrel with his manager, and it quickly spread throughout the company. Mi Yuandan saw the news on WeChat, pulled Mr. Hui out, and said, "Brother Hui, Bai Lian and Sister Li are arguing."

President Hui asked him why.

But Mi Yuandan said: "Sister Li is thin-skinned, she sees through some rules but never follows them, and she doesn't let artists under her name do them. It's ugly, don't let me remind you what's wrong."

So when Mr. Hui passed by, he said indiscriminately: "Bai Lian, it's your fault that you and your manager quarreled. No matter what, you have to obey the manager's arrangement. It's clearly written in the contract. If you are not satisfied, just leave, no one is stopping you."

The manager sniffed, looked out the window with red eyes, and looked aggrieved, "I can't take this person with me, if he doesn't leave, I will leave."

Bai Lian was out of breath and could only laugh, the corners of his eyes were red with a smile, "Okay, I'll terminate the contract, how much is it, tell me!"

9.1 million.

When Bai Lian got the notice, he knew that his termination was only [-] yuan, so he breathed a sigh of relief while smiling wryly.He counted his [-] deposit, Alipay loan, and credit card, but he couldn't even make up [-].

He could only call to borrow money. Among his friends, there were well-developed artists, but because the relationship was really mediocre, and when they heard that it was liquidated damages, they all found excuses to refuse.Bai Lian was so overwhelmed that he almost forgot Zhou Yao's date.

When I think about it, it's already dark.

Bai Lian put down his phone and went out. He passed by a cake shop and bought a cake to satisfy his hunger. When he was eating cold bread on the side of the street and walking towards the subway station, the bustling and bright scene of the metropolis had nothing to do with him. Wear clean and tidy clothes, wear the most popular hairstyle at the moment, and then be a beggar, begging everywhere.

Taking the subway from the south gate to the second ring road at the north gate, the subway was driving in the dark, Bai Lian took out his mobile phone and wanted to open the novel habitually, but suddenly remembered that he was going to the home of Yin Shangda.

Suddenly, a gust of heat rose from his face, and the bright white light shone on Bai Lian's face, and the blush spread from his forehead to the depth of his collar.

heat.

Embarrassed.

Bai Lian tried to calm himself down and fanned his face with his hands. When he looked up, he saw two girls sitting across from him holding up their mobile phones, and the camera was aimed at him.

Bai Lian became even more ashamed.

Head full of barrage loops, [I'm going to the house of a wealthy businessman tonight] [Mr. Zhou said he likes me] [Lonely and widowed alone] [No!Even a male god can't make me bend!Even capital can't break me! 】【However, Yin Shangda’s novels are really good-looking, hehe...】

can not stop!

Bai Lian put down his hand in a slumped manner, letting himself put on a tomato face, and resignedly opened the phone's Weibo to take a look.

oops!Yin Shangda posted on Weibo!

【like! 】

[When will it be red: ahhhhh!Really been waiting!Sprinkle flowers for everyone, the new drama will definitely be a hit!Always support greatly! 】

Pressing the [Send] button, Bai Lian pursed her lips and thought fiercely, as long as you give me a chance to play Xiao Ziqi, no matter how hard or tiring I am, I won't be afraid!

But with such thoughts, when he came to the building near the city center, all the flying thoughts settled down again.

The champagne-colored building is covered with green vegetation, and the community surrounded by the bustling neighborhood is like a pearl in the deep sea, revealing its great value everywhere.

Even the uniform worn by the security guard standing at the door seemed to be branded.

There is a sense of wealth and distance everywhere.

He likes "Yin Shang", but is afraid of "Mr. Zhou".

Even though it can be seen from the text that Yin Shangda is a very capable person, in the imagined picture, that person may not be handsome, but he must be gentle, with a strong bookish air, standing by the window holding Reading the book, the sun fell on his flaxen hair, and he could almost smell the ink on his body.

The guard contacted the resident and followed Bai Lian all the way upstairs. Zhou Yao opened the door and appeared in front of Bai Lian. His long and narrow eyes were black and sharp, and his hair was so black that it seemed to be able to swallow light. He was also very tall, 1.8 meters tall. When Lian looked at him, he had to raise his head slightly.

The shadows enveloped him, and what he smelled was not the fragrance of ink, but a strong masculine blood, even a rust-like smell.

like blood.

The man also wears glasses on the bridge of his nose. The rimless lenses are very thin, which not only does not reduce the imposing aura, but adds a touch of sharpness.

His eyes fell on him, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you come here so late?"

Can't talk about the termination of the contract, and can't say that I forgot, Bai Lian said: "Traffic jam."

After finishing speaking, I was annoyed, what a bad excuse!

Zhou Yao looked at him meaningfully and said, "Come in."

He asked Bai Lian to sit down, took another glass of water for him, and then looked at him from the single sofa, from hair to eyebrows to shoulders, waist and hips, Zhou Yao's gaze was like a ruler, measuring every inch.

When they met again, Zhou Yao reconfirmed that the person in front of him was indeed the "Xiao Ziqi" in his mind, associating his demeanor and behavior during the audition, and even the voice he uttered, matched the person in his heart.

There is no doubt about who to choose as the male lead, it must be done in vain.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yao couldn't help exchanging his overlapping legs, and couldn't wait to start his work that had been stagnant for half a day.

Sensing Zhou Yao's anxiety, Bai Lian hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhou said this is a job, and he doesn't know how much the salary will be."

Zhou Yao didn't hesitate and said, "It depends on your time. If it's just a daily settlement, I'll give you [-] a day, but if it's from the beginning to the end, I can be there on call, and you can set the price."

Bai Lian's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "Two, twenty thousand...is that okay?"

"Twenty thousand? Is this enough?"

Bai Lian didn't understand, but seeing Zhou Yao thinking about it as if he had obviously lowered the price, his brain hole flew out of the sky... Is [-] not enough?I have been struggling with this line for a month, even if I come to it every day, the price is not too low. Could it be that I have misunderstood, this line is not the line I imagined, and there are other deep meanings?

Bai Lian thought too much, and it was too complicated. He didn't even think about what Zhou Yao's so-called "from beginning to end" meant. To put it simply, I think it's wrong, so you have to come and help me correct the lines. Chuan Sui arrived on behalf of the uncle, he would bring someone over to answer his lines even if he got stuck in the middle of the night.

It's that simple.

For a career fanatic with the script of "Rebirth and Revenge", isn't it good to start a business and make a lot of money?What the hell is dating?It's a waste of time, okay?

The two of them were so far apart that they only thought about themselves.

In the end, Zhou Yao said: "[-] yuan is the price of my conscience, but you also have to promise that you must be there when you pass it on."

As soon as Bai Lian heard the price, his courage to refuse disappeared instantly.Fifty thousand, plus his deposit and borrowed money, he can pay the liquidated damages independently without needing to owe anyone money.

"is it okay?"

"Just... about the script?" Bai Lian hesitated, and finally confirmed.

"Of course, but you have to be there whenever you pass on." Zhou Yao emphasized that the focus is only "once you pass on".

"Let's think about it..." Bai Lian felt that the money came too easily, and every dollar had a deep meaning.

Zhou Yao became impatient, picked up the phone with no expression on his face, and knocked together. Ten seconds later, Bai Lian received a transfer reminder.

Then he stood up, walked towards the study, and said, "Have you rested yet? Come into the house with me."

Bai Lian: "..."

I really want to get my money back!A few words worth fifty thousand?You are so beautiful!But Bai Lian really needed the money so much, so he followed Zhou Yao into the room with great care.

Yo!

This is really a study!

The bookcases occupying two walls are full of neat books, the computer on the desk is still on, a cup of tea is placed within reach, and behind the soft and comfortable boss chair is a shop. There are bay windows with tatami mats, the windows are closed tightly, and you can see the lights of thousands of houses. It is located in a quiet place in the busy city.

Zhou Yao sat on the sofa and looked at him, and said, "See how convenient it is, whether you are standing or sitting, I will send you an electronic file of the script, and you need to read the parts that are not colored. I The concentration time is one and a half hours, and you have to rest for about 15 minutes in the middle. You have to adjust your habits as soon as possible. I hope that the money I spent will be worthwhile."

Bai Lian restrained his thoughts and nodded.

"Okay, find No. 20 seven games, page number is 59 pages, let's start from the first paragraph."

"Here...have you gained strength?"

"Yes, so the tone should be ecstatic."

Bai Lian looked at a section in his hand repeatedly for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "Mr. Zhou, I don't think I need to talk too much here. Look at my expression..." While speaking, Bai Lian's eyes gradually became silent, seemingly cold There was molten heat in his eyes, and he said in a tone of hatred, trembling, but forbearance, "It's time to go back."

Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows.

Bai Lian adjusted his expression and smiled embarrassedly: "It's not that there is a problem with your work, but because you are the author of the original work, you are used to creating characters and promoting the plot through dialogue, but in fact, in my opinion, Some parts don’t need to be said, just act.”

Zhou Yao nodded slowly, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He looked deeply at Bai Lian and said, "Yes, you act, I'll do it."
