Bright Throne

The bedside lamp in the room was on, and the dim yellow light slanted on Pei Hanrui's side face, burying his face in shadow for half a year.

He has dialed Qin Yi's phone several times in a row, but no one answered at first, and then the phone was turned off directly.

Pei Hanrui smiled wryly, put the mobile phone on the bedside table, turned off the light and lay down under the quilt.Neither turned off the phone as usual, nor even muted it. Unfortunately, one night passed, and the other party did not call until the next day.

The coldness of deep winter is getting stronger day by day, and the branches of the trees are full of sparse branches and trembling withered yellow leaves that may be blown off by the wind at any time.

I thought that there would be no more miserable situation than now, but unexpectedly, overnight, the media that had just died down for a while gave him another heavy punch, and even pinched a model viciously on the lifeline.

Amidst scandals, well-known advertisers who cherish feathers have terminated their contracts one after another. Qin Yi can still take on those small jobs at a lower price. However, once he is cut off from exposure, no matter how small an advertiser is, it is impossible to find such a job that is boycotted by the media. model.

Qin Yi, who hadn't finished filming the last commercial, looked down at the contract termination form that the other party handed him with a sullen expression, and fell silent for a while.

The man was not in a better mood than Qin Yi, he sighed, and said apologetically: "Oh, I don't know what happened, the magazine that we have been cooperating with before suddenly canceled our advertisement appointment for this issue, It is said that as long as it is an advertisement shot by you, it will not be published. What is it, isn’t this terrible! The strangest thing is that not only this magazine, but also several other tabloids have the same attitude. I am really surprised , This one didn’t steal or rob, and they didn’t even pay for advertising fees, I’ve never seen people who don’t want money for nothing..."

"Reject all of them?" Qin Yi's eyes were heavy, and there was neither indignation nor shock on his face, but a little mockery and disappointment.

"Yeah, except for those small workshops with negligible publications, let me say, Qin Yi, which god did you offend? This is obviously to block you."

Qin Yi pouted helplessly: "I want to know too."

"Hey, we can't do anything this time. The advertisement can't be published, and it's useless to shoot it well, right? We're just a small company. Firstly, we have a wrong customer base for outdoor entities. Secondly, we really don't have the funds. Changing models is also a last resort, I hope you understand, I wish you a better job."

On the one hand, Ji Hangfeng was a little anxious, frowned and said: "Brother, you see, half of this has been shot, so it's not worthwhile to remove it all. A small workshop is a small workshop, it's better than rotten in the camera—— Hey, big brother, don’t go, wait until I finish—"

"Old Ji." Qin Yi grabbed Ji Hangfeng and shook his head at him, "Forget it, just think of another way."

Ji Hang's cover muscles twitched violently, held Qin Yi's shoulders tightly, and said in a dark and hateful voice: "Who is targeting you like this behind your back, what a hatred, ah! I don't understand, even if It wouldn't have come down to this point if there was a rumor about unspoken rules, right?"

"Think about it quickly, have you offended anyone recently, oh no, and before? Especially those with status and status, who can buy so much media at once with such a big money, think about it, it's a big deal, I'll lose face Don't beg for mercy! Beg him to let you go!"

"Old Ji!" Qin Yi interrupted his words with a low sip, his brows were knit together, and he looked at him with a moving expression, mixed feelings of emotion and sadness stirred in his chest cavity, mixed with five flavors, it was hard to speech.

No matter the scenery or the trough, he has experienced many ups and downs, and got stuck in the mud, but there is always a good brother who will accompany him all the way, and will never leave him. Feng always let him know that he is not alone.

Qin Yishu raised his brows, a hint of relief appeared in his cold eyes, and solemnly said: "Thank you, Lao Ji."

Ji Hangfeng pursed his lips and looked at him, his mood gradually calmed down, he shook his head, let go of the hand holding his shoulder, and sighed exaggeratedly: "I am grateful for being thanked by such a heartless guy like you." It's been three years since I lost my life. Forget it, there is no unparalleled road, and at worst, I have to think of other ways... let's go to the restaurant, brother, treat me!"

"Let's eat seafood tonight!" Qin Yi waved his big palm and slapped Ji Hangfeng on the back vigorously, showing a hey hey expression.

"Damn it, do you dare to learn a lesson! What if you are allergic and have pockmarks?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter, anyway, no one wants to shoot me now."

"Take a selfie!"

"roll……"

The figures of the two shoulder to shoulder gradually disappeared on the way to the seafood restaurant. However, no matter how optimistic they are, or pretending to be optimistic, the cruel reality can always puncture people's self-deception.

In just a few days, all the advertising contracts on Qin Yi's hands were cancelled, and he became a rice bug who stayed at home all day long and had nowhere to go or anything to do. The media that had made a lot of noise about his scandal seemed to have forgotten him suddenly and ignored him.

People are always forgetful, and soon there will be fresh gossip and explosive news that attract their attention. , I am afraid that the people around will not remember who he is, and they will not remember that there was once a model who was so popular that he fell so quickly.

Compared with discrediting a person, gradually ignoring and forgetting, in the fashion circle, is the truly terrible thing.

For this reason, Ji Hangfeng almost lost his gray hair, and even Qin Yi, who was always tired and proud, followed him around, but no matter how humbly begging for help, their situation could not be turned around or improved. .

Only, Ye Lianxin, the editor-in-chief of "Charm" magazine, vaguely got a hint that behind this incident, there was something to do with Pei Hanrui.

"Why don't you... ask Pei Hanrui for help? Since it's related to him and you are like this, how can he sit idly by? Are you two dating?" The two came out of the office building of the magazine in silence, Ji Hangfeng Finally, he couldn't help but tentatively asked.

Qin Yi paused slightly, frowned and sighed: "If he has a way to stop this matter, he can't just leave it alone. Didn't you hear Ye Lianxin say that even a big society like "Charm" can only compromise, Ye Lianxin, the editor-in-chief, can't even tell the other party clearly, but can only hint gently, and you should be able to guess that the other party's background is definitely not ordinary."

"However, no matter whether he can help or not, he should have an attitude. This is too..." Noticing Qin Yi's expression, Ji Hangfeng stopped talking with a few words.

Qin Yi glanced across the glass mirror on the side calmly, and whispered nonchalantly: "...Have you noticed that someone seems to be following us all the time recently?"

"what?"

"Don't look back." Qin Yi stopped Ji Hangfeng from turning back subconsciously, and said silently, "Don't worry, it's been a few days, and they seem to be just following. Go back to Tianlu, Zhou Yun has an appointment with me Said something happened."

Ji Hangfeng said pleasantly: "Hey, isn't that your instructor during the trial training? Will he help?"

"I'll know in a while."

It was already dusk, and the setting sun falling from the sky looked extraordinarily pale and soft in the dark sky, as if it couldn't support the weight and was about to fall down at any time.

The two sat in Zhou Yun's office, Qin Yi tilted his head and silently looked at the fading sunset outside the window, the cold wind blowing past the withered branches shivered.

"What I can tell you, I've already said it." Zhou Yun still had the serious and serious appearance, sitting on the leather chair opposite the desk, clasping his fingers on the desk with his hands, his voice was deep and solemn, vaguely With a little regret and regret.

"For the rest, the company's senior management is also secretive, and I don't know very well. In short, there is indeed someone who wants to deal with Qin Yi, and this person is very important in the media circle, at least in China. The company has no better way to deal with it. You have to know that in China, when it comes to the right to speak, model agencies are far from the media’s opponents.”

"We already know what you said, so there is really no other way to go? We don't even know why that person wants to deal with us." Ji Hangfeng patted the table angrily.

"Don't worry. I called you here this time because of my personal thoughts." Zhou Yun turned his head and looked at Qin Yi deeply, and said quietly, "Qin Yi, you are the most talented and qualified person I have ever seen I have always been very optimistic about your potential. From your assessment, I have confirmed that you are born to stand on the runway. Although from the perspective of the company, I cannot help you out of the current predicament, but I Personally, I can give you a suggestion..."

Qin Yi turned his head and stared at him with burning eyes: "What suggestion?"

Zhou Yun took out a small paper card from the drawer and handed it to him. It was a business card.

"You have entered a dead end in China, but you can go to the United States to start again, provided that you have the courage to give up your hard-earned popularity and fame." Zhou Yun pointed to the business card, "This Searle Mr. is a scout I knew before, and now he is a well-known gold medal producer in the American fashion circle, and he has made many stars popular, including models."

"However, I haven't been in touch with him for many years. Even if you go to him in the past, it's hard to say whether he will sell my face now, but I hope you can seriously consider my suggestion."

To the United States……

Qin Yi stared at the small business card, still a little stunned.After Ji Hangfeng's initial surprise, he fell into deep thought again, but seeing his eyeballs rolling quickly, it was obvious that he was quite moved.

"It's difficult, I know." Zhou Yun continued, "Different countries, languages, races, values ​​and aesthetics, but this is also a major opportunity and challenge. If you succeed, you will soar into the sky, and you will lose——Qin Also, to be honest, even if it failed, it wouldn't be worse now, would it?"

The last sentence made Ji Hangfeng suddenly enlightened - no matter how difficult the United States is, it will not be worse than it is now!He has already been moved by Zhou Yun, but Qin Yi...

Seeing Qin Yi pinching his business card with his eyes downcast and his uncertain face, Ji Hangfeng cried out in his heart that he would suffer—almost forgot that there was Pei Hanrui in the country, how could he be willing to do it according to Qin Yi's temperament? leave him!

Sure enough, Qin Yi was silent for a long time, and finally put the business card back on the table, and shook his head with a sullen face: "I... have no intention of going abroad for the time being."

"It's because of Mr. Pei from NL?" Surprisingly, Zhou Yun seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He frowned, took out a newspaper that had just been delivered here from the drawer, and turned to the section on the entertainment section. Page, spread out on the table, turned to Qin Yi, and said, "Although I have no intention of interfering in the personal relationship between you, but as your former instructor, I have to ask you, is it worth it?"

Qin Yi's eyes were firmly fixed on the huge black headline on the upper page: After coming out of the popular male model, the NL boss is suspected of finding a new love - there is also a photo of Pei Hanrui flirting with another young model below, that She is a very beautiful female model with hooks in every frown and smile.

Qin Yi looked at her clinging to Pei Hanrui's shoulders expressionlessly, smiling very charmingly.

He didn't remember how he said goodbye to Zhou Yun and returned home, he only knew that someone stuffed the business card into his jacket pocket.

After bidding farewell to the worried Ji Hangfeng, Qin Yi slowly walked towards the door of the house.

It was already night, and the lights in the neighbors' homes were turned on one after another. Qin Yi accidentally raised his head...how come the one with the lights on seems to be his own home?

Could it be...

Qin Yi quickened his pace and opened the door. The living room lights were on, and rustling sounds came from the kitchen.He stood at the entrance, glanced at a pair of familiar leather shoes in the shoe cabinet, and noticed the bunch of spare keys on the drawer.

"Are you back?" Pei Hanrui's magnetic Shen Yue's voice came from the kitchen, carrying a strange smell of meat.

Qin Yi's heart moved slightly, he pursed his lips, and finally stuffed the spare key into his pocket.
