rebirth retreat

Half an hour later, Gu Liuguang and Gu De arrived at the place agreed by Bai Shiqian smoothly - a cafe in the depths of the alley. There was a closed sign outside the gate of the cafe, as if to welcome their arrival .

When the two found Bai Shiqian, he was standing in front of the display cabinet, studying the equipment on it with great interest.

"Brother Shi Qian." Standing behind him, Gude called out.

Bai Shiqian turned his head, with a smile on his face, "Here we come." His eyes turned to Gu Liuguang, he paused slightly, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I'm Bai Shiqian."

Gu Liuguang held his hand and said, "Gude."

"I know you, that video of yours is very popular recently." Bai Shiqian smiled, "The real person is much more handsome than the video, and he can play and sing. It seems that there will be another powerful idol in the circle. .”

"I dare not take it." Gu Liuguang said, "I still have a lot to learn from my seniors."

The smile on Bai Shiqian's face did not change, but there was more scrutiny in his eyes. "Young people are neither arrogant nor impetuous, that's right."

Turning around and leading the two of them towards the wooden stairs ahead, Bai Shiqian said, "Let's go, let's chat at the top."

Sitting down in the private room on the second floor, Bai Shiqian said, "This is a shop opened by my friend. If you want to drink whatever you want, it will be charged to my account."

"Then let's have a glass of Blue Mountain." Goode said bluntly.

"What about you?" Bai Shiqian looked at Gu Liuguang and asked.

Gu Liuguang actually didn't like drinking coffee, but in order not to refute Bai Shiqian's face, he said, "Instant ones are fine."

Bai Shiqian smiled and rang the service bell on the table.After a while, the waiter knocked on the door and entered. Bai Shiqian said, "Two cups of Blue Mountain and one cup of instant."

After the waiter left, Bai Shiqian lazily leaned back on the chair and sighed, "I can finally sit down and have a cup of coffee to take a break. I've been so busy recently that I've been dizzy."

Goode followed his words and asked, "Don't you rest during the Chinese New Year?"

"I don't remember how many years I haven't had a good year. Those who work in our line of work must have the awareness to sacrifice their own time at any time." Bai Shiqian smiled helplessly, looked up at Gu De, finally cut to the topic of the conversation: "What about you? There have been rumors recently that you plan to come out and start your own business. Why, have you finally had enough rest?"

He really came here for this matter!Goode and Gu Liuguang looked at each other, nodded and said, "It's not a rumor, it's true."

"Really?" Bai Shiqian said, "Are you planning to open a studio or start your own company?"

"Start your own company," Goode said.

"It's a good idea." Bai Shiqian said, "You are young, and you are quite ambitious. You are much stronger than I was back then. If you have this opportunity to do it yourself, you should take it seriously. Don't be like me, a big I only started to think about transformation when I was old, and now I still look like I am not at the same level."

"No, no, Brother Shi Qian, don't say that." Goode quickly waved his hands, "How can I compare to you, President Yan wants me to use you as an example!"

"Yan Dongting." Bai Shiqian laughed, "He's willing to let you out."

Sensing that the atmosphere froze for a moment, Gude quickly changed the subject and said, "Brother Shi Qian, you came to me today, so just tell me if you have any plans."

"I want to become a shareholder of your new company and work with you to operate it," Bai Shiqian said.

Gude stared at Bai Shiqian in front of him dumbfounded: "What? You want to buy shares?"

"That's right. My contract with Times is about to expire, and I don't plan to renew my contract with them. The competition in the industry is becoming more and more intense now. At my age, I don't bother to compete with the young fresh meat anymore. , it would be easier to concentrate on being a producer behind the scenes to discover and train new talents." Bai Shiqian smiled unhurriedly.

After a pause, he continued: "I just won the film and television adaptation rights of a super popular IP some time ago. The image of the male protagonist is very similar to yours. If you want, this movie will be the first one I give to the company." A meeting ceremony. With you and me joining forces, I believe this drama will definitely become a hit in the future."

It has to be said that his words completely moved Gu Liuguang and Goode.Leaving aside the attractive condition of the right to adapt popular IPs, Bai Shiqian has a high status in the industry and a good reputation, and has a huge audience base, which can be said to be overwhelming.Having him join would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Gu Liuguang knew that even if he didn't need to hint, Gude would definitely agree.

"If I say 'no' again, don't I know what is good or bad?" Goode laughed.

Bai Shiqian held out his hand to him: "Then, happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

There was a knock on the door of the private room, and the waiter brought in the coffee they ordered.After placing the coffee in front of them one by one, they quietly backed out.

Good picked up the cup of hot Blue Mountain, took a sip, and said, "It tastes really good."

Bai Shiqian couldn't help but glanced at the young man next to Gude again.The young man looked indifferent, his eyes were deep, and he gently rubbed the ear of the cup with his fingertips, looking like he was staying out of it.

Bai Shiqian's doubts deepened.The young man never expressed his opinion from the beginning to the end, so what is his purpose of accompanying "Gu Liuguang" here?It's not just for courage, is it?

Looking away, Bai Shiqian smiled and asked, "Have you decided on the company name?"

"The 'Liuguang Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd.' was set before." Goode said with some embarrassment.

"Is the license down?"

"Not yet, but it's only been a few days."

"Since I want to become a shareholder, I should have the right to change my name?" Bai Shiqian asked.

Gu De glanced at Gu Liuguang, Gu Liuguang nodded slightly, and Gu De said: "If you have better suggestions, of course."

"I thought about it a few times before coming here, and in the end I still think 'Time Film Media Co., Ltd.' sounds good." Bai Shiqian said. "Time Movie for short."

"That's right, it's very nice to hear, as expected of Brother Shi Qian!" Gu De's eyes lit up, and he didn't have any objection when he saw Gu Liuguang. He said, "I'll ask someone to apply for a change immediately after I go back!"

"You, you, you have experienced an accident, and now you have become sweet-mouthed. In the past, if you want to praise others, it was harder than reaching the sky." Bai Shiqian teased.

"Brother Shi Qian, what you said is wrong. It's not difficult to climb to the sky now, just take a rocket and go up." Gude laughed. "Besides, after going through a life and death, what else can't we see?"

After glancing at Gu Liuguang who hadn't spoken all this time, Bai Shiqian said inexplicably, "You really have changed completely." After hearing these words, Gu Liuguang paused for a moment.Although it was very subtle, it was still captured by the keen Bai Shiqian.

"Then if you can trust me, just leave it to me to change your name." Bai Shiqian said, "I will definitely take care of the matter for you within three days."

Gu Dexi said: "Okay!"

"By the way," Bai Shiqian looked at the two of them for a while, and said, "Are you planning to come back as a group?"

"That's right." Goode nodded, "This is the fastest way to accumulate popularity so far. After all, I... ahem, I haven't appeared in public for a while."

Bai Shiqian asked, "What's the name of the group?"

Gude unconsciously looked at Gu Liuguang again: "This..."

"NEW." Gu Liuguang finally opened his mouth. He raised his head to look directly at Bai Shiqian and said, "It means a new beginning."

"A very good name," Bai Shiqian said meaningfully, "I believe you will achieve very good results."

"I accept your good words." Gu Liuguang said.

The speculation in my heart was finally confirmed, and Bai Shiqian laughed: "Liu Guang, we are really destined. When we collaborated in "Emperor Qin", I played Lu Buwei, and you played Ying Zheng. Now we have cooperated to start a company, and it is still you." I'm in charge of the outside, and I'm in charge of the inside. Tell me, will our "Time Movie" become the next Great Qin Empire?"

"You're thinking too much." Gu Liuguang said, "Lu Buwei didn't end well in the end."

Bai Shiqian laughed loudly: "Of course, I'm not as capable as him."

This... This is the rhythm recognized by Bai Shiqian? !Gude stared at the two of them blankly, not knowing how to react for a while.After laughing, Bai Shiqian patted Goode on the shoulder and said, "You've done a good job, but you're not him after all. No matter how you change a person, you won't be reborn. Your acting skills...need to be practiced again. ah."

Goode: "..."

Sweeping his hand away, Gu Liuguang said expressionlessly: "Since we are now partners, I hope you can keep this secret for us."

Tsk tsk, long time no see, this kid's temper is still the same.If he hadn't noticed it a long time ago, he really thought that "Gu Liuguang" had changed his gender.

"Don't worry, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better." Bai Shiqian said with a smile.

"Then how do you know?" Goode asked strangely, "No one else saw it."

"Actually, I noticed it as early as that time when Yan gave you a welcome banquet." Bai Shiqian raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't really make up my mind until I saw the two of you standing together. .”

Reception banquet? !Startled, Gude turned to look at Gu Liuguang.

Gu Liuguang clenched the cup in his hand, and there was a wave of waves in his eyes.It turned out that Yan Dongting confirmed his identity at that time.

Taking a full look at the expression on his face, Bai Shiqian twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Okay, I'm about to leave too, and I have to rush to the set in a while, so let's stop here today."

Seeing this, Gu Liuguang and Gu De didn't say much, got up and walked out with Bai Shiqian.

When going downstairs, Bai Shiqian slowed down, and asked Gu Liuguang who was walking beside him, "Does Yan Dongting know your identity?"

Gu Liuguang froze for a moment, then replied, "I know."

"That's good."

"I thought it was Yan Dongting who asked you to come." Gu Liuguang said.

"Of course not." Bai Shiqian smiled, "I really need this opportunity."

Gu Liuguang was silent and did not reply, Bai Shiqian said again: "Even if it was ordered by him, you still have to believe that your aptitude is worth putting everything on the line. You may not know how much he wants you to see the road under your feet clearly , even if you don’t need him to push you hard, you can still walk on your own, so don’t blame him.”

Feeling hot in his heart, Gu Liuguang responded in a low voice: "Yes."

"The book in my hand is specially reserved for you. Act well and prove it to Chu You." Patting him on the shoulder, Bai Shiqian said.

"Chuyou? He also knows?" Gu Liuguang was startled.

"Of course not, don't be so nervous." Bai Shiqian laughed dumbfounded.

Gu Liuguang breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned: "But I'm no longer..."

"What kind of identity do you have now, does it conflict with your desire to be a good actor?"

Yeah, is there a conflict?Gu Liuguang lowered his head and smiled, and said in relief, "I will work hard."

Walking out of the cafe side by side, the sun hit the three of them, and there was an indescribable warmth.

"Remember to pass on the company's information to me when you go back. Wait for my good news in three days." Sitting in the car, Bai Shiqian said to Gu De.

Goode: "Okay."

Watching Bai Shiqian's car leave, Gu Liuguang and Gu De also returned to their car.Putting the peaked cap on Gude's head, Gu Liuguang said indifferently: "Bai Shiqian said something right just now. It's time for you to train."

Goode pressed down on the brim of his hat, and his exposed eyes bent in aggrieved way: "I didn't know he could see it so quickly."

"He has a pretty good relationship with Yan Dongting, so it doesn't matter if we see through it." Starting the car and driving forward, Gu Liuguang said: "But since we have decided to go back, we must be safe. Because in the future we will face more than just The media, as well as various people in the industry, once this secret is discovered by people with ulterior motives, it will inevitably be a disaster for us."

After a pause, Gu Liuguang said, "Especially Zeng Kai and Li Yiran."

Hearing these two names, Gude's cheerful mood suddenly sank, and said, "I know, I will pay attention."

Gu Liuguang said: "The most important thing now is to practice your singing skills first. After all, you have not received professional vocal training. Although you can guarantee that you will not go out of tune, your breath is unstable and it is difficult to change your voice. It is easy to lose your voice in front of professionals. exposed."

Goode was taken aback: "I have so many questions?"

Gu Liuguang nodded slightly, and continued: "I want to be able to announce the first EP of the group smoothly when the company is officially announced to the outside world. This EP is very important to us, so I would like to invite Toshihito Matsushita to make the EP. and his team to help."

"Oh, I know this person." Goode said, "He also came to the reception banquet last year."

It's another welcome banquet. Could it be that Yan Dongting has been planning all this since then?Gu Liuguang said in a daze, "Well, two of my previous albums were also produced by Toshihito Matsushita."

"Then..." Gu De took a careful look at Gu Liuguang, "Could he also know?"

Gu Liuguang came back to his senses, with deep eyes: "Tomorrow, you and I will go to Toshihito Matsushita's place in person."

Whether Toshihito Matsushita knew it or not, this was an opportunity to take advantage of.Although the less people know about the secret of the exchange of identities between the two of them, the better, but in order to take his first move smoothly, he can do anything!

Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Gu Liuguang frowned tightly.This morning he received another call from Wang Hao. Since the search and arrest in the past two days still did not make any progress, the higher-ups ordered the removal of two-thirds of the police force, leaving only the special case team in charge of Wang Hao to continue the investigation of City A. The investigation focused on outside the province.

Gu Liuguang never questioned the police's ability to handle the case. He knew that the case was at an impasse because the other party was too cunning.If this is the other party's move to escape the police's sight, then he doesn't mind being the bait to lure her into the bait.

As for Zeng Kai——

Gu Liuguang's face suddenly turned cold, that person had better pray that he had nothing to do with this case.Otherwise, even if he tried everything, he would make that person pay the price!

***

As night falls, warm yellow lights are lit up in the apartments in the community. From time to time, figures flash past the windows, and there are faint sounds of quarrels or happy conversations in the air, which has an intoxicating sense of warmth.

Behind the green belt of the road opposite the community, there is a car hidden.If you look closely, you will find that it is not licensed, and there are some scratches and collision marks on the body.It has been here for the seventh day, and it arrives at this time every day.After stopping here, the man sitting in the driver's seat did nothing, only looked at a certain window in the opposite community, and drove away until dawn.

Of course, a man is not waiting, he is just observing.

The lights in that room hadn't been turned on since he'd been here.It's the seventh day, even if you're away from home for the New Year, it's time to come back.But recently, large and small entertainment newspapers in City A told him that the owner of the house was in this city, and there were signs of a fire again recently.

Looking at the background of the video on the Internet, that person should live in Yan Dongting's new lover's house, right?He must have noticed something, and he dared not live alone in this place anymore.

Tsk tsk, the little leopard who was so unyielding in the past, did not expect to be forced into this field now.It would be better if he died in that car accident like his mother. He really wanted to see what that beautiful face would look like when it was covered in blood and lifeless.

When he thought of such a scene, his heart couldn't restrain his excitement, as if he had imagined that boy being crushed by him many times.

He had to admit that that beautiful and lonely boy always had an inexplicable attraction to him.

If it wasn't for that Yan...

The man's face suddenly sank.Heh, he didn't expect that Yan Dongting would be willing to let that person go out and set up his own family. Sure enough, he had a new love and forgot about the old love.But that's fine, he didn't dare to act before because he was afraid of Yan Dongting's pervasive protection for that person, but the current situation is actually beneficial to him.

After starting the car and leaving the spot, the man repeatedly chewed on the plan in his mind, and the corner of his mouth raised a creepy arc.
