actor next

It was raining outside around seven o'clock in the morning.

In the season of early autumn, it is very comfortable to sleep in the sound of the pattering rain, Xie Lin reached out and pulled the quilt, turned over.

However, it didn't take long before I heard the electronic lock of the downstairs door slamming, followed by the sound of stiletto shoes stepping on the marble floor. I heard it very clearly.

And the sound of juice being squeezed in the kitchen and breakfast being prepared.

Xie Lin tried hard to catch the drowsiness that was about to dissipate, but it seemed to be unsuccessful.

So he pinched the center of his brows, and opened his eyes with a sleepy look and an air of getting up.

Xie Lin's sleep has not been very good, it is difficult to fall asleep, and it is easy to be woken up. Last night, I took a magazine photo shoot until twelve o'clock, and it was past one o'clock after I finished it. I didn't sleep well the whole night.

Picking up the phone to check the time, the sound in the kitchen should be his aunt preparing breakfast for him, and the sound of stiletto shoes, most likely his manager Qi Huan.

Thinking of what he told Qi Huan to do before, Xie Lin casually pulled on a shirt and home trousers, put on slippers and got up.

Just as Qi Huan sat down, he saw Xie Lin going downstairs, put down his things and said, "I'm bothering you? I wanted you to sleep more."

"It's okay." Xie Lin poured a glass of water when he passed the water dispenser, took two sips, put the glass down, leaned on the sofa, and said lazily, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Because he just woke up, Xie Lin was wearing a rather casual white shirt with the hem pulled out, his hair was a bit disheveled, his face was pale, his eyes were deep-lined, and the end of his eyes was upturned, and his lips were so pale that they could be wiped off. Go, the neck is slender and graceful.

Even though Qi Huan has been with Xie Lin for many years, and has seen too many beautiful skins in the entertainment industry, he will still be seduced by this 31-year-old man unexpectedly.

She coughed, and handed the printed script document on the desk to Xie Lin, saying: "This is a new script sent by the company, I'll show it to you."

"But the situation of this script is quite special. We have considered it internally before, and we want to accept it, but we don't know whether it should be accepted, so it depends on your opinion."

Xie Lin debuted for 13 years, won the best actor award and won the soft hand. He has dominated the screen for many years and has strong strength. Under Ce Media.

Although it is an affiliation, Xie Lin has his own independent operation team in Huace, and has the autonomy and resource selection rights that other artists cannot envy.

"There's no rush." ​​Xie Lin rubbed his shoulders without reaching out to pick up the script, looked at Qi Huan and said, "What about the thing I asked you to talk about earlier?"

Qi Huan shook his head and said, "I specially arranged a team to deal with this matter, but with your current status, if you want to develop abroad, you need to carefully select scripts, but you also know that the current film and television industry is very popular both at home and abroad. Confused, good scripts don’t mean that there are some, but a few big foreign directors offered to cooperate with us, but none of the scripts they sent were suitable. After the operation department analyzed the market situation, they reviewed Didn't pass either."

"It takes time, and it's been two months since you finished your last movie. My suggestion is to pick a movie and shoot it first. If there is a suitable script from a big foreign director, let's consider cooperation. , neither side will delay, after all, you can't disappear from the public eye for too long."

Qi Huan knew that Xie Lin wanted to go abroad for development recently, but when he was not satisfied with the current domestic achievements and wanted to challenge the industry's higher ceiling, he hesitated and said: "Why don't you read the script first?"

"This script is quite special. It's about same-sex themes. Although there is a high probability that it won't be screened in China, it should be sent abroad to win awards." Qi Huanwang said to Xie Lin, "We have already read the script, and the marketing department and operation department have all Unanimously approved, it is indeed a rare and good book, and both the director and the screenwriter are top-notch, and the director even talked to you before—"

Qi Huan hadn't finished speaking.

"Glass piece?" Xie Lin snorted lightly, and said casually: "It's fine if there are screenwriters who dare to write, but there are still directors in China who dare to go against the wind to make this kind of film?"

"Don't you know the situation in China? When this kind of book is first delivered to your hands, it is a literary film. When it comes to real shooting, it may be commercialized to what extent. The details of the script may be deliberately sold to cater to the market. , make some messy things that can't be put on the table."

"When is the company going to help me broaden my career?" Xie Lin leaned on the sofa, sneered and said, "Or am I reduced to selling rot?"

"Of course not!" Qi Huan glanced at Xie Lin and said dissatisfiedly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Indeed, I know what you said, and this is where we hesitate." Qi Huan sighed: "There are quite a lot of rivalry scenes between men and men in the script, and there are even two sex scenes, although they are all sex scenes. Not lewd, the kind that uses ambiguity to heighten the beauty, but it is still relatively sensitive. I am afraid that it will be easy to become popular, but it is also easy to be hacked, and the play with two male protagonists, the book was sent to us first, I heard Who the other hero is is yet to be decided."

"But don't worry about the actual filming." Qi Huan continued: "I didn't finish what I said just now, but you interrupted me. The director who planned to make this film is Qi Bandit. He just came back from abroad. The script It was also sent by his team. You also know the word-of-mouth reputation of the previous films "Chang'an" and "Within Touch", and didn't you work together before?"

"After Qi Bandit came back and announced his plan to prepare a new movie in China, the Internet is full of speculation about the list of actors who will cooperate, and the most popular male lead is you."

"Now the industry has defaulted. The quality of Qi Bandit's films is absolutely guaranteed. That's why I brought you the script. Anyway, I will send it to the country to win awards. If you want to develop abroad next, use this film. It is also very suitable as a stepping stone, but I am afraid of the subject matter—"

What Qi Huan said later, Xie Lin basically didn't listen carefully.

To be precise, when she mentioned that Qi Bandit was returning to China, Xie Lin, who was looking down at the samples from the magazine that was shot yesterday, paused slightly with his fingertips.

After a while, Xie Lin raised his head and looked at Qi Huan: "Has Bandit Qi returned to China?"

Qi Huan nodded and said: "Yes, I got off the plane in the early morning last night. I heard that the airport is crowded with people."

Qi Huan smiled, and couldn't help but said: "Although he has moved behind the scenes to be a director, his popularity is no less than that of the popular fresh meat."

Xie Lin tapped lightly on the sofa with his slender fingers, chuckled, and said in a low voice: "No one told me."

"I thought you knew." Qi Huan was a little surprised: "These days the overwhelming news is all about this."

While talking, Qi Huan picked up the remote control and turned on the big TV in the living room, "The group interview last night was rebroadcasted by a platform, and it is estimated that there are still TV stations broadcasting it now."

Xie Lin took the mobile phone and switched to Weibo from the WeChat interface. As expected, the top few trending searches were all discussing Qi Bandit's return to China.

Xie Lin looked at the Weibo post that Qi Bandit had posted the day before when he was boarding the plane, and had over 12 comments, but said nothing.

During this period of time, a female star who worked with him in the previous movie pulled him to tie up and hype him. It wouldn't hurt anyone, but it was disgusting.

Since the movie is in the promotion period, Xie Lin can't openly respond to clarify it, and he is too lazy to read those marketing accounts on the Internet who make up groundless rumors and write some false news about himself all day long, so he simply didn't click on it for more than a week. Weibo, naturally missed all the news about Qi Bandit announcing his return to China and getting off the plane yesterday.

Qi Huan took the remote control and changed several channels. As expected, an entertainment channel was rebroadcasting Qi Bandit's group interview last night.

Xie Lin looked up at the TV.

On the screen, I haven't seen him in four years, Qi Bandit is dressed casually but decently, and is still able to handle with ease when surrounded by dozens of media.

You can vaguely see the exhaustion of sitting for more than ten hours flying, but it is different from the young boy in Xie Lin's memory four years ago. Now Qi Bandit's face under the camera is more handsome, not only a little more profound, When faced with the female reporter's teasing and jokes, there is a vague aura that can easily make people blush and heartbeat.

It seems that the soil and water in foreign countries really support people. The little guy who used to blush when he was molested has really grown up now.

He chuckled, and was about to reach for the script on the table.

On the TV, the female reporter asked Qi Bandit to say hello to the fans in front of the camera. Qi Bandit was also very good-tempered, as if he didn't remember being asked a topic involving privacy before, and nodded in agreement.

In the rebroadcast of the TV, Qi Bandit looked at the camera closest to him.

Outside the huge TV, Xie Lin looked at the people on the TV.

"Hi everyone, I'm Bandit Qi."

"It's been four years." As if announcing his return to all the fans through the camera, Qi Bandit looked at the camera with dark eyes and said, "I'm back."

This group interview came out after two o'clock in the morning last night. Before Qi Huan came here, he only watched some clips edited by netizens on the road. Now he watched the full version of the video with Xie Lin here, and couldn't help it. He clicked his tongue and said, "It's this paragraph, and it's even on the hot search."

"Netizens said that when Qi Bandit went abroad, he was still a young boy. After seeing him for four years, he became a young and promising domineering president the moment he returned to China. This video was cut into various girlfriends by some netizens. The angle of view is going crazy."

"This kind of young wolf dog is popular now. If you really use this face to talk to fans, who can resist it." Qi Huan laughed and joked: "It's also fortunate that he has moved behind the scenes to become a director. Otherwise, the jobs of so many small fresh meat in the entertainment industry will be robbed."

Xie Lin didn't speak, bent down and took out a pack of cigarettes from under the coffee table, took out one, didn't light it, just rubbed it with his fingertips.

"I'll keep this script for you to read?" After chatting for a while, Qi Huan got back to the topic and said, "From my point of view, I suggest you take it."

"Qi Bandit finally returned to China after four years. The first film he made must have attracted much attention. There is no need to worry about the quality. Their team has also promised me that they will not add those annoying elements of commercial films. Even if it is It can’t be screened in China, and it can be sent abroad to win awards. It’s good to earn word of mouth. As for those negative effects...we have done a good job in public relations in advance, and if it works smoothly, it may become a good marketing.”

"But there are two male protagonists, and we don't know who the other one is." Qi Huan thought for a while, "How about I confirm with Qi Bandit's team first?"

"But why didn't he contact you directly?" Qi Huan was really puzzled, "I thought he would tell you as soon as he returned to the Congress."

Xie Lin gently squeezed the phone, could not hear the tone, leaned on the sofa with a half-smile and said: "The kid has grown up."

Qi Huan burst out laughing, "He is now a world-renowned super-first-line director, and you still call him a kid."

Xie Lin raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

"I just put the book here? Do you have time to read it? Qi Bandit's studio said that we should think about it and don't rush to reply." Qi Huan thought for a while and added: "Connect with foreign resources For the matter, let me hold on tighter and try to—”

Not finished yet.

Xie Lin reached out and took the script on the coffee table and turned to the first page, "No need, since you have said that the film and television industry is chaotic and good books suitable for foreign films are hard to come by, so let's not consider connecting with foreign resources for now. Something happened."

"Leave the script for me to read." Xie Lin looked at Qi Huan, paused and said, "Talk to Bandit Qi."

Xie Lin tapped on the script lightly, lost his mind for a moment, and smiled: "Whether to shoot or not, let Director Qi come over and talk to me in person."
