my benefactors

Chapter 020

"Battle Sky" is a commercial film with an investment of over [-] million. The genre is a fantasy martial arts drama that has been very popular recently. The director Zhong Ke is one of the best in the country with a high box office reputation. The producer and investor are affiliated to Uniasia Entertainment and Dongfang Film and television, and the original music in the film is produced by Dingxing International. It can be said that it is the first time that the three giants in the entertainment industry have collaborated to produce Tukata.

Li You had never participated in this movie in his previous life. At that time, he had just signed with Uniasia Entertainment, but Cheng Honglin took advantage of his position and sent him to play the second male lead in another movie.And in this life, thanks to Deputy Director Li's blessing, he was fortunate enough to be drawn into this masterpiece. Although it was only a favored supporting role, Li You knew very well how famous this movie was in his previous life, even if it was just a supporting role. An inconspicuous little supporting role can also follow the trend of Xiao Hong.What's more, Li You's upcoming role is an important supporting role that runs through the entire plot of the movie, which is enough for him to look forward to and be excited about.

Several people came to the audition location very quickly, the wide corridor was very crowded, several screen faces that Li You was familiar with appeared here, and many newcomers were also waiting eagerly.

Gong Fan had already given Li You a number, and he was ranked No. 30, which was just right.Although this newly appointed gold medal agent is a bit annoying, he is really good at handling things. At least he was able to find a chair for him to sit in temporarily among so many audition personnel, which made Li You flattered.

Li Youan sat quietly and read the script, which was full of dialogues about this character, Li You read it with relish, and secretly remembered it in his heart.Although he had learned some acting skills temporarily, Li You still didn't have much confidence.However, Li You found that after drinking the bottle of marrow cleansing lotion, not only his skin and body became better, but his memory was also enhanced, and he could memorize the lines in the script almost after reading it once.While Li You was surprised and delighted by these benefits, he was also a little worried. It was not important to memorize the lines accurately, but how to enter the play and know how to act well.

Xia Qi didn't bother Li You who was concentrating on reading the script, he was using his communication skills to chat with new people.Gong Fan is a man of high self-esteem, he looks down on Xia Qi, who is new to the industry, and disdains to deal with him.Xia Qi didn't mind, and chatted with Li Tingting and Wang Xiaoli with a smile, and could take the opportunity to exchange feelings with a few new managers next to him when he was free.

The audition people entered one after another, and then left one after another, some with red faces, some with dejected heads, some confident and high-spirited and came out with mournful faces, and some came in anxiously and came out with eyes full of surprises. Ups and downs, joy and sorrow.

Obviously, all the actors here have great expectations and determination for this drama.The annual big production of the three major entertainment giants is very attractive to any actor, not to mention that the director of this giant movie is the famous director Zhong Ke, which makes everyone flock to it. .

In the empty audition room, several people sat in front of a row of tables and chairs.

"Director Zhong, isn't there already an internal appointment for the role of Mo Yan? Why do you go to such lengths to invite people to audition?" One of the assistant directors leaned in front of Zhong Ke and asked in a low voice.

"Non-determined? Hmph! A little-known little singer who doesn't even have any acting experience, they dare to mess with me!"

Zhong Ke has a weird and irritable temper. What he hates the most is that the investors mess up the situation randomly, but he is only a director after all, and he can only complain in some places and not offend all of them.Moreover, this person was recommended by Lao Li. Even if he didn't want to, he still had to give this person face.

The assistant director chuckled: "Don't be angry, we'll see if you can see it later. If your acting skills are passable, you can find someone to hone your skills during filming. If not, you have an excuse to shirk."

"You can talk." Director Zhong Ke glared at the assistant director, and ordered to the assistant, "Call the next one."

"Then do you want to record this?" the assistant asked timidly.

"I can't even laugh, what preparations are there! Remove!" Director Zhong slapped the table, his voice was as bright as a bell, and his aura looked quite scary.

The assistant responded with a pale face, and quickly trotted out to call for the next one.

After a few more interviews, still unsatisfactory, Director Zhong's face became more and more ugly, until Li You's number was called outside.

"You are Li You?" Director Zhong stared sharply at Li You who came in and scanned up and down, his eyes were critical and mean.

"Hello, Director Zhong, I'm Li You." With several years of experience in the entertainment industry in his previous life, Li You is no longer a flimsy fledgling, without the slightest fear. With a smile, he let the bearded director Zhong Da look at him.

The other audition officers were very satisfied with Li You's appearance, which fit Mo Yan's facial features very well, but only director Zhong Ke had a grudge in his heart. This Li You was not only recommended by Dongfang Film and Television, but also secretly supported by Huanya's senior management. No matter how you look at it, it's uncomfortable.But the other party was introduced by Lao Li after all, and he, a middle-aged uncle, was too embarrassed to make things difficult for this little guy, so he could only temporarily put aside his prejudices and asked him to start acting.

Li You took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, recalled the plot that director Zhong requested, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his expression changed subtly, and he began to act out...

Half an hour later, Li You came out.

"How is it?" Xia Qi was the first to rush up and quickly grabbed Li You's hand, without even noticing that his forehead was sweating.

"It's okay, it's going well." Li You thought of Director Zhong's complicated gaze just now, and couldn't understand it, so he could only say vaguely: "Director Zhong said to let me wait for the notification."

"Huh... that's fine, as long as you don't get rejected in person, there is still hope." Xia Qi heaved a sigh of relief, patted Li You on the shoulder to comfort him, and let him relax. In fact, he was more worried than anyone else.

"Go back to the company first, we still have a lot to talk about. Let's go."

Gong Fan didn't care much about the result of Li You's audition, anyway, the above had already made a default decision, unless there was an accident, no one would want to snatch this role from Li You, and today's visit was just a formality.As for Director Zhong's attitude towards Li You, and his attitude towards this matter, it doesn't matter.In his eyes, as long as an artist is famous and valuable for him to use, it is the right way.

The group returned to the company soon, Gong Fan had his own car and assistant, and did not sit with Li You and the others.The two cars, one in front and one behind, quickly drove into the underground parking lot of the Dongfang Film and Television Building.

Gong Fan led everyone to his office, and casually gave everyone another introduction, then invited everyone to sit down, and started a long and detailed plan and negotiated an agreement regarding Li You's official entry into the entertainment industry.

It's a discussion, it's better to say it's Gong Fan's unilateral disarm.He has a strong desire to control, but all artists working under him must demand absolute obedience and obedience. If they cannot obey his command and arrangements, they will basically be regarded as unruly and willful by him. Waste of development potential.

Gong Fan's words were straightforward and tough, and he didn't show affection at all. At first, Xia Qi and Li You's faces were not very good, but after listening to it, they got used to it. They both grew up in an orphanage. What? I have never seen such a person before. For them, a person like Gong Fan who is so tall and arrogant is really new to them. Although they will not be afraid of him, they will not really confront him.

What's more, when Lu Rong transferred Gong Fan to Li You by name, it was after a lot of deliberation.This point, Xia Qi had a conversation with Lu Rong, and he knew it in his heart.Gong Fan originally had two superstars in his hands, but Lu Rong arranged him next to a newcomer with a single word. No one would have a good face, which is understandable.If Gong Fan didn't have a bit of courage and skill, he wouldn't be a gold agent.Everyone has everyone's shortcomings, it is impossible for everyone to like everyone, and everyone to curry favor with everyone.As long as you don't have any conflicts, there is nothing wrong with safe and stable work contacts.

For three full hours, most of the words were admonitions, and Li You's ears hurt from hearing them. Sitting on the sofa, he couldn't even maintain the image of a quiet and handsome man.

Fortunately, Gong Fan also knows how to stop when enough is enough. After talking a lot of nonsense, he took out a few documents and informed Li You to participate in various professional courses and training before the finals of the talent show. hours of sleep.If Li Youzai hadn't carefully recalled that he had never known this big manager in his two lifetimes, he would have thought that he had offended him somewhere, and that the manager was deliberately taking revenge on him!

"After dinner later, you go to class. Xiaoli, follow Li You, learn more and watch more. A newcomer must have the self-consciousness of a newcomer, and try not to make any mistakes. If there is any trouble at that time, I will I won't wipe your ass!" Gong Fan confessed seriously, with a hint of accusation.

"Yes yes yes. I see." The little girl shrank her neck and dared not look at her boss, looking pitiful.

Li You tilted his head, lost interest, and pretended not to hear.

Xia Qi squinted his eyes and smiled naturally.

"Tingting has nothing to do these few days, the main thing is to plan Li You's costume and makeup for the finals."

"Yes." Li Tingting answered with a calm smile.

"Xia Qi has to go to class too, you try to learn everything you can, so as not to lag behind." Gong Fan's words meant something.

Xia Qi understood immediately. He still expected to be the exclusive manager of his pomelo, so there was no reason to let it go to others, so he immediately nodded happily: "I understand. Don't worry, it won't delay you for too long. During this period of time, my pomelo can only trouble you to worry about it."

Gong Fan nodded symbolically, and informed the schedule of tomorrow before waving off the meeting.

Several people left the office with a sense of relief. Li You and Xia Qi planned to go to the company's restaurant for dinner, and Wang Xiaoli hurriedly followed, thinking that she could spend more time with the male god.

Li Tingting still had something else to do. After saying goodbye to a few people, she left the company.

Wang Xiaoli is a very happy girl, lively, cheerful, eloquent, and soon established a solid foundation of friendship with Li You and Xia Qi.

After eating, the three of them separated to get busy, Li You went to class, and Wang Xiaoli followed.Xia Qi also went to class, looking alone, other trainee agents looked down on him, thinking that he had no background and was easy to bully, but the more he was like this, the more motivated and energetic he was.

In a hurry, the day passed like this.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Li You finally finished his hard training.

Xia Qi had already finished class, and she and Wang Xiaoli were waiting for him outside the door.

The diligent and loyal thirteen bodyguards also stood beside him in a military posture, motionless being molested by Wang Xiaoli.

"Let's go back to the nearby community. There will be classes tomorrow morning." Xia Qi was afraid that Li You would not be able to keep his mouth shut, so he opened his mouth and suppressed someone.

"Uh..." Li You was a little puzzled, aren't you going back to the villa tonight?

Xia Qi glared at him: "I've already agreed, you're too busy these days, so stay here."

Li You was not allowed to bring his mobile phone in class, Xia Qi took it and turned it off. He received a call from Mr. Yue right after class, expressing in a tactful way that Li You couldn't leave his body these few days and that he couldn't go back for the time being.Mr. Yue is not an unreasonable person. Although his tone sounded very unhappy, he still agreed.

Xia Qi didn't want to admit at all, how much cold sweat broke out on his body at that time.

"Oh." Li You understood, nodded his head, and yawned, but he was really happy in his heart.Don't have to accompany Mr. Jinzhu, he is happier than anyone else!

"Brother Seven, then I'll go back first, my house is nearby." Wang Xiaoli said sweetly, and followed Li You to call Brother Xia Qi.

"Let's take you back, you're a little girl, it's not safe to go back at night."

"Hehe, Brother Seven is so kind. Thank you, Brother Seven!" Wang Xiaoli thanked happily, and turned her attention to the cold bodyguard she was very interested in: "Brother Thirteen, I will trouble you!"

Thirteen didn't look sideways, as soon as he saw Li You coming out, he moved his feet and pressed the elevator.

Li You walked in, and Thirteen followed closely.When the elevator arrived at the parking lot, Thirteen walked out first, looking around sharply, making sure that there was no danger, and then walked out with big strides.Then, he opened the car door for Li You, with his hands on the side of the door, until Li You sat firmly, then he closed the car door safely and got into the driver's seat.Xia Qi quickly got into the passenger seat, and Wang Xiaoli sat beside Li You with a grin.Shisan Yi stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out of the basement smoothly, and left the company building without hindrance.

Xia Qi and Wang Xiaoli praised this series of standard professional movements, and they were so impressed.Originally Wang Xiaoli wanted to know if Shisan had been a soldier, but Xia Qi was afraid that Wang Xiaoli would be bad for Li You if she knew too much, so she quickly changed the subject.

After sending Wang Xiaoli home, Shisan drove the two of them back to the Garden District.

"Brother Thirteen, where do you live at night?" Before entering the door, Li You suddenly thought of this question.

Thirteen didn't answer, but turned slightly to the side with his sunglasses-wearing eyes.

Li You and Xia Qi followed the trend and saw that the door of an apartment next door was closed. They looked at each other, but Xia Qi reacted quickly and said with a smile: "It turns out that Shisan lives here. That's really great. It will be convenient to work together in the future." gone."

Thirteen nodded silently, watched the two enter the door, then turned and returned to his residence.

As soon as Li You entered the door, he looked at the new house curiously. He said it was a new house, but it was better to say that no one had ever lived in it. This community has been built for several years, and the supply of houses has already exceeded the demand.As for why no one lived in this house, it was because it was originally Lu Rong's private property, and he had never lived in it himself.How could the young master's people be wronged to live in the old house? As a caring subordinate, he must of course try his best to do the best for the young master.

Xia Qi and Li You don't know about this. They both like this clean and bright new house. The apartment is an indoor multi-storey apartment. The first floor has a kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, gym, and the second floor has three bedrooms and a study. It looks big and spacious, and the layout is very comfortable.

Xia Qi and Li You each chose a room, Xia Qi stayed here for two days, next to the master bedroom, and voluntarily vacated the master bedroom to Li You.Li You happily hugged Xia Qi and took a bite, Xia Qi blushed in embarrassment and pushed him away, angrily urging him to take a bath and sleep.

"Seventh brother, when we have money, we will buy a big house for the younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage, and then take Mama Li in to support her, okay?" Li You held Xia Qi's arm, with a full face Said longingly.

"Okay." Xia Qi didn't want to spoil the fun, although he really wanted to say that you have to wait until you become famous before you can make a lot of money.But looking at Li You's pure and sincere smiling face, he also laughed, his eyes full of hope and longing for a better life in the future.

After laughing and laughing, the two went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Xia Qi got up on time, tried his best to drag Li You who was sleeping soundly, and forced him to go downstairs for a run.

After Xia Qi drank that bottle of miraculous potion, his body is gradually recovering miraculously. For this, he is really grateful to Li You and cherishes this hard-won good body. Xia Qi understands the meaning of health better than anyone else , Daily morning exercises are naturally essential.

After returning from running, Xia Qi took Li You, who was drowsy, into the bathroom to take a bath.

After finally waking up from the drowsiness, Li You changed his clothes and went downstairs. He happened to see a kind-looking middle-aged aunt coming out of the kitchen with a small pot of porridge, which shocked him a lot.

"Master Li, you are up."

"Aunt Chun? Why are you here?"

This aunt is none other than one of the servants that Li You met at Lord Jin's house.

"The young master told me to take care of you. You don't live in the villa these days, the young master is worried about you, so let me come over and cook for you and do the housework." Aunt Chun is also an old man of the Yue family. The first person next to the young master, I still like it very much.

"That's great! Thank you so much, Aunt Chun." Li You raised his lips and smiled, and hurried over to help her carry the bowl and chopsticks.

"No, I'll just do this little thing. You can sit down and eat."

"Hey, it's okay. I'm too young to let you take care of me forever." Li You was only polite, because he had already started drooling when he saw a table of exquisite and delicious breakfast. How to eat.

Aunt Chun smiled, and greeted Li You with a bowl of porridge.

At this time, Xia Qi also went downstairs, and was surprised to see Aunt Chun.

Li You quickly introduced the two of them, and began to feast on them.

Xia Qi glanced at Li You with a strange expression, then quietly glanced at Aunt Chun in the kitchen, then lowered her head to eat as if nothing had happened.

Just halfway through eating, the doorbell rang.

Xia Qi thought it was Thirteen, so he got up and went to open the door, who knew that as soon as he opened it, he saw a few big men in black, carrying rows of delicately packaged clothes, walking in grandiosely.

"who are you?"

"Eldest Young Master ordered, send some clothes to Young Master Li."

One of them has a temperament similar to that of Thirteen's strong man, so he explained.

Xia Qi took a deep breath, turned sideways to give them a seat, looked at these people with erratic eyes, and put piles of high-end clothes, shoes, hats and accessories, as well as men's special accessories, cosmetics, toiletries, etc. into the room. Rise.

"Brother Seven, who is it?" Li You stretched his neck while holding the bowl and asked.

"It's nothing, just bring the clothes."

"Oh." Li You replied, and continued to work hard.

Xia Qi rolled his eyes and exhaled helplessly, is it really okay for Yuzu to be like this?

"Brother Seven, go to the next door and ask Brother Thirteen to come over for dinner, otherwise it will be too late."

Li You's crisp voice came from the dining room again, making Xia Qi speechless for a while, so he had to resign himself to his fate, turn around and go out, and knocked on the door next door.

In the end, Shisan still didn't sit down with them to eat. Instead, he took a meal from Aunt Chun and went back to his room to finish it.For the bodyguard brother who abides by his duty, it is a great honor to be assigned a task by the young master. It is too late for other people in the guard team to envy him. Who would dare to go beyond sitting at the same table with the young master.

After eating, Li You hurriedly ran to the room specially used as a dressing room, and changed into the new clothes sent by the golden master, and also gave Xia Qi a new set of clothes , euphemistically said: My exclusive manager, Li You, how could he be dressed more shabby than me!

In fact, Xia Qi knew that Li You felt sorry for herself.

Unable to resist Li You's kindness, Xia Qi changed into his clothes full of emotion, and went to the company with Li You...

Busy and busy, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

With almost hell-like courses and training every day, plus Li You's hard work in studying in the system space during his lunch break, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is exhausted in these hard and busy days.

But if you pay, you will gain.After a few days of sponge absorption, Li You benefited a lot. Even though the time was short, the basic teaching in the space was equivalent to nearly half a month. Li You learned a lot of good things, and he was also very pertinent from the company's training teachers. praise.

For Li You's change, Xia Qi saw Li You's change, and while he was gratified, he also felt sorry for Li You's hard work, so he couldn't help but persuade Li You a few words.

"Oh! Seventh brother, you don't have to be so sad. Let me tell you, I am not tired at all from studying in the space. Even if I am tired, it is because I am mentally exhausted and my body will not be affected in any way. Moreover, if I pass a certain virtual training If so, the system will automatically reward me and make me feel more refreshed in an instant."

"Really? Didn't you fool me, comfort me?" Xia Qi stared straight at it, obviously not believing it.

"Really!" Li You raised his head and looked around like a thief, seeing no one around, he mysteriously took out something from his pocket.

"What is this?" Xia Qi stared curiously at a shiny metal card in Li You's hand.

"This is called the Great Explosion of Acting Skills Novice Card. The system said that this card is valid for three months. I thought that if my acting skills were really not up to standard, I would use this card. Within three months, I would definitely perform supernormally and let others Surprise me!"

Li You raised his chin with a proud face.

"The explosion of acting skills? Is it true or not? Is this thing so effective?" Xia Qi took it in his hand and looked at it over and over again, not feeling that there was anything magical about it.

"The system won't lie to me, did you forget that bottle of potion?"

Xia Xiangxiang thinks the same: "Okay. However, you can't rely too much on these things. What if you perform well this time and fail next time? At that time, others will have whatever they say, but Definitely not a good word."

"Don't worry, I know it well." Li You took the card, put it back into his pocket, and put the card into the space under the cover of the fabric.

"That's good." Although Xia Qi was a little worried about Li You's system, but seeing Li You's full ambition, he couldn't bear to say any sarcastic remarks, which would hurt Yuzu's self-esteem.

"Brother Seven, I heard from the Great Demon King..."

"What big devil!" Xia Qi hastily covered Li You's mouth, and sternly reprimanded: "Yuzi, no matter how bad Gong Fan is, he is also your manager, so don't speak ill of him!"

"Okay, okay!" Li You pulled Xia Qi's hand away, curled his lips: "Just don't say anything. I heard from him that the TV station told me to go to the rehearsal tomorrow, and then just let Wang Xiaoli follow me. Why didn't he let you go?"

"I still have classes, so I can't spare time." Xia Qi was also a little dissatisfied with Gong Fan's arrangement. Li You couldn't be alone, not because he didn't believe in Wang Xiaoli, but after all, he was by Yuzu's side every game. He can rest assured that he will take care of himself.

"Could it be that he wants to take me there? I don't like him! Whenever he's free, he'll always catch me and criticize me, pointing at my nose and saying that I'm not good, that's not good. I'm bored to death!"

"Who bothered you?"

Suddenly, a deep and indifferent voice rang out forcefully, startling Li You and Xia Qi stiff.
