[Entertainment Circle] The Occupation of Rebirth

Yin Yanxiu thought that there would be news from the police in the near future, but he waited for more than half a month with full confidence. The news had disappeared without a sound. He completely gave up hope and continued to return to his previous busy state.

Ji Shaoning's phone calls seem to be more frequent than before, for example, twice a month, "Which girl have you been having an affair with recently?"

Yin Yanxiu had to regain his sanity from his deep sleep, "Ah... scandal? Oh, so who, the actress surnamed Gan who just broke up?"

"The one whose surname Gan was passed on yesterday? I asked you, the day before yesterday, you hugged that one outside the bar!"

"Hug?" Yin Yanxiu rubbed his eyes, opened his eyes and looked at his watch. It was three o'clock in the middle of the night, "Ah... Who is that? Give me a hint!" Who was hugging outside the bar the day before yesterday...

"A tender model..."

"Ah... I remembered!" Yin Yanxiu quickly explained, "It's because she was too drunk to walk steadily in her high heels, so I helped her cross the road..."

Usually this kind of ending is that Ji Shaoning hangs up the phone, and then Yin Yanxiu falls asleep in a second.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Shaoning continued to flip through the webpage, looking for news about Yin Yanxiu and watching his programs from every corner, and he didn't miss any of them.

He thought that the perverted store manager of the shoe store would return to his previous life after filming. Every crew would do chores and take on some small roles. If he was lucky, he would be approached by scripts. , and the amount of my own savings, I don't know if it will take another four years to mix it up, at least more contacts can attract Yin Yanxiu!

Ji Shaoning smiled and shook his head as he thought about it, when did he calculate these little things in China, but now that he is alone, he fantasizes a lot.

For example, when can I pick up a protagonist, when can I win an award...

Fantasies are fantasies, Ji Shaoning is still down-to-earth in various Hollywood studios.

Looking at the calendar and counting the time, the contract between him and Han Hong was automatically terminated when it expired. Su Dawei did not contact him, and he did not contact Su Dawei. Unexpectedly, one month after the termination of the contract, which coincided with the annual film festival, Ji Shaoning unexpectedly An invitation letter was received inviting him to attend.

He looked and looked at the beautiful invitation letter over and over again, fearing that it was a prank, so he took it to Punk for confirmation when he was worried. Punk patted him on the shoulder, "You played my drug addict, and that All the films of the shoe store owner have participated in the selection of the film festival, so it is normal to invite you. Dress handsomely and use it as a rehearsal for future awards."

Ji Shaoning snickered, and was going to take a few photos of the film festival to send back to Yin Yanxiu, but he couldn't believe he wasn't tempted.

In the invitation letter Ji Shaoning received, it shows that the seats are arranged at the back, which generally belongs to the audience's territory, and those with senior qualifications and those who are favored in the crew will be ranked in the front. Ji Shaoning is relieved, this arrangement saves money. Saved him the trouble of customizing the gown.

Ji Shaoning didn't tell Yin Yanxiu about this in advance, he was going to send him a photo on the spot to scare him.

So when Ji Shaoning was dressed in ordinary formal attire, sitting on the seat with a relaxed face, fiddling with his phone and taking pictures non-stop, the award ceremony of the film festival had reached the stage of the best supporting actor nomination.

He was enthusiastically filming the scene, the shoe store owner flashed across the screen, he didn't care at all, his attention was all on the backs of the stars, and he wanted Yin Yanxiu to prepare for it to drool.

After the nominated video clips were broadcast, the screen was divided into small sections to capture the excited and nervous expressions of the finalists.

One screen was divided into six parts, and everyone stared nervously at the screen, the stage, and the envelope in the hands of the lottery winners. There was only one bronze-skinned, sharp-edged, and especially sexy face, holding his hand on the screen. The mysterious photo taken by the mobile phone, which is completely different from other people, seems to indicate that he is in another world, with a funny and relaxed appearance, and the hot guests at the scene laughed together.

Ji Shaoning, who was laughing this time, was baffled. He put down his phone to see if he missed anything, and inadvertently saw the big screen in front of him. In the middle of the lower row, it happened that a guy was at a loss, and then his eyes immediately widened. His mouth grew too, and it was his expression of disbelief on the screen.

This change of expression flashed in front of everyone's eyes like in slow motion. It was so funny that it caused a burst of laughter, and people applauded for no reason.

However, Ji Shaoning's heart was pulled tighter and tighter by the applause. He realized that when he was nominated, the hand holding the camera was so heavy that he couldn't lift it, and he trembled slightly, just like his heart trembled, it was not real at all. .

Being nominated... That is to say, it is possible to win this award... Ji Shaoning looked at the guests presenting the awards. The bearded man was holding a gold-plated envelope in his hand, and a small transparent trophy was placed in front of him , that trophy, maybe I can get it...

Ji Shaoning's suddenly inflated desire was no longer satisfied with the matter of nomination, he took a fancy to that small trophy, even though it was far away, it didn't affect the sudden beauty of the trophy in his heart at all.

It seemed that the nomination suddenly became a matter of course, and defeating other famous actors to win the crown in one fell swoop became the path that a small person like him must take.

The screen changed, and the award-giving man opened the gold-plated envelope. Ji Shaoning looked at the road stretching from his side to the stage, counting how many steps he would take next, and just walked up the steps gracefully.

The screen stopped, the man read out his name, and Ji Shaoning's eyes were fixed on the screen.

The person who won the prize was not him, but another person.

People gave applause, Ji Shaoning moved his fingers slightly, as if he could move, he raised his hand with difficulty and applauded, his arms felt more and more relaxed, not as heavy as before, and his heart became more relaxed, Ji Shaoning couldn't help but close his eyes slightly With a sigh of relief, this is normal, and the loss after nomination is normal.

The phone was not so heavy anymore, and it was unusually easy to raise his arms. Ji Shaoning stabilized his mind, put the nomination scene behind him, and continued to secretly take pictures with the camera.

Winning an award is success, nominations are nothing.Ji Shaoning still put himself in the role of a small person doing odd jobs in various studios, but Punk found Ji Shaoning after the ceremony, "Congratulations on being nominated, this is a recognition of your strength! Although it is a supporting role, it is also very important. Next keep it up!"

Ji Shaoning was in a daze for a moment, and it wasn't until Punk came to congratulate him that he felt that he had really been nominated.

Speaking of how many years he has not been nominated for a supporting role in China, since he stepped into the entertainment industry, his goal has been to go straight to the highest award. Whenever he is nominated, he wants to be so excited that he jumps up and feels like he has long forgotten, but now After Punk patted him on the shoulder, he somehow wanted to jump up.

After thanking him, Ji Shaoning planned to leave first. He didn't sign with any brokerage company, and he didn't get any awards. He didn't want to participate in the subsequent activities, so he might as well go back and pass on the photos to Yin Yanxiu.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw the director of the shoe store crew and several actors walking towards him. It seemed that he was passing by here, and Ji Shaoning turned sideways to make way.

"Congratulations Ji!" The director greeted him happily.

"Thank you." Ji Shaoning also said with a smile.

The director encouraged him, "It's unexpected to be nominated, and it will definitely be better in the future!" The director of the film Ji Shaoning participated in won the award as he wished, but he was still very happy to congratulate Ji Shaoning, "Nomination is strength, next time Looking forward to your better performance!"

Ji Shaoning thanked them and politely declined the party invitation.

It was already very late, and Ji Shaoning walked out of the lobby to walk a few streets to pick up the car.

From the bustle and bustle of the people when they first came out, they became quieter and quieter as they walked. Ji Shaoning looked at the time and saw that it was already very late. At this time, some film crews could be vaguely seen working overtime, and some studios were still lit, but the road was quiet. terribly.

Suddenly Ji Shaoning was knocked to the ground by a strong impact, he quickly stood up and looked behind him, a thin young man was looking at him helplessly.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you...it's just that I wanted to stop you..."

The young man hurriedly apologized, hesitating a bit.

Ji Shaoning asked, "Just tell me not to, why bother to be so aggressive."

"I'm sorry," Xiaoniang continued to apologize. Xiaoniang was very dark, but he was wearing a fat white shirt. "Please buy my script... My family has no money. My mother is sick and can't make money. Please buy my script." The script, just give me 1000 yuan! Please buy my script!"

Ji Shaoning frowned, patted his pants and got up, "Why did you decide to ask me to buy the script? I look like I bought the script?"

Xiaonian had no choice but to explain, "Actually, I am standing by the side of the road, and I will ask anyone who comes. You are the No. 30 five I asked today, so, for the sake of writing this script seriously, I will 1000 yuan, please buy it!"

He handed the script to Ji Shaoning, and Ji Shaoning looked at the cover lightly.

The name printed above, I don't know what's inside.

There are occasional incidents where scripts are used to cheat money at night. I invite you to buy them at night, and when you go home and look through them, it is not what you need. Ji Shaoning thought that this is a scam.

Just as he was about to sternly refuse, an uncontrollable "gurgling" sound came out from the young boy's stomach.

The young man said embarrassingly, "Sorry!"

But Ji Shaoning thought of the matter of being nominated just now.

No matter how he lied, this young man looked skinny, it didn't look like he did it on purpose.

Ji Shaoning suddenly felt that his being nominated was as unlucky as this young man. No one applauded or blessed him, so he could only walk alone on the street alone.

He made a move that he didn't expect. He touched his body, took out twenty dollars from the outer pocket of his suit, twenty dollars from his trousers pocket, another twenty dollars from the inside pocket of his suit, and two dollars in his vest pocket. Ten dollars, and finally twenty dollars was drawn from the soles of the shoes, and a total of one hundred dollars was handed over to the young man.

Since coming to the United States, Feng Xiaoyuan's sisters told him on the first day they received him, try not to go out at night, even if you want to go out, don't pretend to be rich, don't dress like a famous domestic brand, and put money scattered on your body , every twenty is just right, in order to deal with the robbery, it is very necessary to do so.

As a result, Ji Shaoning emptied his pockets and only got one hundred, which was still nine hundred. "I bought the script, but I don't have that much money. If you can, give me the script first, and I will pay you tomorrow." What about the remaining nine hundred?"

The young man looked at Ji Shaoning a lot, and nodded after a while, "Yes, but why should I ask you for money?"

In order to show his credibility, Ji Shaoning gave Xiaonian a series of numbers, "This is my mobile phone number. I will be in the studio in this area during the day tomorrow. You can call me anytime!"

Xiaonian complied, and Ji Shaoning doubted his authenticity to such an extent that Ji Shaoning doubted his authenticity. He would definitely not contact him tomorrow, because Xiaonian cheated a hundred yuan with a fake script, which is already very impressive!

The one hundred yuan was spent... it was like inviting the young man to drink his celebratory wine.

When Ji Shaoning returned home in the evening, he was still in a good mood, and he was not at all discounted by being cheated out of a hundred yuan.

After finishing everything, he lay on the bed and thought about how he was when he was nominated today. He always felt that he hadn’t thought enough about it. When did he become so worthless? Before, he only felt this way for a while when he won the grand prize in China, but now for One nomination is already too happy to sleep.

He simply turned to the script he brought back to see which script was already used to swindle money.

Randomly flipping through the cover, Ji Shaoning casually started from the beginning, focusing on finding deceptive evidence.

But after seeing Ji Shaoning, he couldn't let go of this script. He didn't sleep because of this script. It told about a person who was murdered in his previous life, but the person who helped him avenge was an unexpected person, his former opponent.

But that person came back to life, and it was still the same as four years ago.

In order not to be killed again, this person who came back to life became interested in his opponent. He tried his best to change the trajectory of his life, but he never thought that he was not the only one who was changed. In this life, he has become his good friend and has done a lot for him in places he didn't know.

He never thought it would be like this, and he was very grateful, so he let go of all his defenses to protect this friend. The two became friendly from hostility, and at the same time, they were hit by the secret love.

This person gave up everything to fight for her best interests, even if he used misleading tactics to protect her existence.

Halfway through the story, Ji Shaoning didn't dare to look back, but a voice in his mind shouted, "Make this script! Make it! Make him!"

The familiar scene made Ji Shaoning keep thinking about those few words, and he suddenly had the urge to shoot this script.

Whether this is a script to cheat money, Ji Shaoning is still not sure, but the content inside reminds him of Yin Yanxiu on the other side of the earth in the middle of the night.

Yin Yanxiu has also changed his attitude towards him, and he still has the feeling that he can't stop. Even the matter of being kicked out by him this time, if viewed from another angle, it is also an opportunity for him to come out and leave Su Dawei .

This kind of protecting him, this kind of transformation, this script was written just for him.

At five o'clock in the morning, Punke was still sleeping, but he was woken up by a phone call that he refused to hang up. He picked it up in a daze, but the other party's voice could not hear a little drowsiness, more like he hadn't slept all night. "Punk, I want to make a movie!"

It's Ji Na kid, "Let's shoot, no one will stop you, go out and choose some supporting roles with content, you were nominated yesterday, there will definitely be a film dealer to ask you out."

"No, I want to make a movie. I'll do it. How much is the minimum cost to make a movie?" Ji Shaoning asked like a layman.

Punk said in surprise, "Are you filming? What's the fuss! You want to be an investor? How much money can you have!"

But Ji Shaoning felt like the rain was about to come, "Just tell me, how much is the budget for a small-budget movie!"

Punk didn't answer directly, but could only say, "Go to my shed at dawn and talk about it. You don't even know if you're going to be cheated. Do you have a script? Where did you get it? Believe it or not, think about it tonight." , talk to me tomorrow.”

Punk hung up the phone, and Ji Shaoning lay on the bed still unable to sleep.

The next day he went early to get the money and took it with him, and went to Punk's studio early in the morning.

"So even if no one helps you, you still want to shoot this?" Punk listened to Ji Shaoning's introduction and read the script, he still couldn't believe it, "Even if what I said is not accurate, the budget must be at least 500 million US dollars , young man, or you can go to solicit sponsorship!"

Ji Shaoning thanked him, and immediately turned on his phone to check his balance.

When he left, Yin Yanxiu gave him a 400 million card. From then on, Yin Yanxiu remitted money to this card every month. It was less than 1000 per month, and there were as much as [-] million in four years!This completely startled Ji Shaoning.

It doesn’t matter if you only look at the remittances of tens of thousands or 10,000+ RMB every month, but you can bluff people when you look at the total amount.

Ji Shaoning did a rough calculation, the money Yin Yanxiu gave him, plus the money he had saved, and the money he got from these two filmings, was still short of a million or so.

One million yuan, what should I do? He wants to make this film. Punk told him that in addition to sponsorship, he has to prepare the film crew by himself, including hiring a director, assistant director, camera crew, post-production, drama management, etc. The main thing is There must be actors.

Good acting skills are not enough to screw up the film and lose money in the end, but actors with good acting skills are very expensive, and cheap actors have mediocre acting skills, but mediocre acting skills may make the film unable to recoup its cost at all.

In a dilemma, Punk suggested that Ji Shaoning, in addition to investing, can also play a role. With his acting skills, he can save a lot of expenses.

It's a good idea, but Ji Shaoning is worried that he won't be able to support this role.

So Yin Yanxiu, who continued to hang out on the sets of major shows every day, unexpectedly received a call, "I want to make a movie."

"Okay! Let's shoot!" Yin Yanxiu felt strange, "When will we not be allowed to shoot?"

"I mean I'm invested in making movies."

"Okay! Is the money enough?" Yin Yanxiu understood what he meant.

"It's still 100 million..."

Yin Yanxiu thought about it, "Okay, your car hasn't been sold yet, so it should be enough to make up for it if you sell it. What kind of film are you shooting?"

There was silence on the phone for a long time, Ji Shaoning didn't answer him, but asked again, "Why are you helping me like this?"

Yin Yanxiu was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with you? How can this be called helping you? The car belongs to you, and I just sold it for you. Shouldn't this be done among friends?"

"I mean..." Ji Shaoning paused for a moment, "Since a few years ago, you have always helped me, regardless of Su Dawei, and forced me to go abroad. It seems that you have been treating me since you knocked your head six years ago. Not hostile anymore, why..."

There was no sign of asking this question, and Yin Yanxiu couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he heard it, as if he might know something.

He was unconsciously silent here, and Ji Shaoning said again, "Could it be that you died once and came back alive, so you started to change your trajectory...for my good?"

Yin Yanxiu suppressed the voice that wanted to shout out. Fortunately, he had just finished recording a program. The place was in a mess and no one noticed him, but he couldn't lie to himself. His hands were cold, sweaty, and his heart was beating fast, like a lifetime His big secret seemed to be exposed all of a sudden, and he was terrified, not knowing how to face it in the future.

Someone passed in front of him, Yin Yanxiu quickly regained his sanity, and in resistance, he refused to admit it, "You have a fever? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ji Shaoning on the opposite side chuckled, "Sure enough, I said how could it be so outrageous. This is the film I want to make. How do you listen?"

Yin Yanxiu was a little relieved, but he still couldn't relax his vigilance, "It's not good, you acted well, why did you remember to make a film? You also invested in it yourself? Do you like this script?"

Ji Shaoning said, "Yes, I haven't slept for two days after reading this script."

"Then let's shoot. I'll sell you a car tomorrow, and then I'll send you money. Let's make a film!" Yin Yanxiu encouraged him from the bottom of his heart.

Ji Shaoning asked, "You really don't plan to come to Hollywood? If you participate, you will definitely save a lot of money and earn some box office."

Yin Yanxiu chuckled, "Come on, whoever can't think about it, go to bed quickly!"

After hanging up the phone, Yin Yanxiu leaned back on the chair exhaustedly. He was covered in cold sweat and his mouth was dry.

Ji Shaoning never mentioned the content of the script again, and there was still money remitted by Yin Yanxiu every month in his account.

Not long ago, Yin Yanxiu sold his car for less than 100 million, but the total remittance was 120 million.

Ji Shaoning kept recruiting his team members non-stop. He usually helps others a lot. At this time, many people came forward to help him, introducing him to a reliable photography team and a reliable but inexpensive director. As for other odd jobs, Ji Shaoning basically One person is worth three people.

A busy low-budget film was finished in less than half a year, which made him wonder if he missed some shots.

But after the later period, Ji Shaoning no longer doubted anything.Any convenience has met his psychological requirements, whether it is the expansion of the actors or the lens.

In less than half a year, all his money was exhausted, leaving nothing left.

Ji Shaoning hurriedly contacted the theater to arrange the release date, because it was not a big production, his small film could only be scheduled for the last night show, and the schedule was only given for seven days.

Ji Shaoning calculated the number of shows and dates, and averaged the ticket prices. He was a little discouraged. In this area, it will be shown for 7 days, and there are only two or three shows with particularly bad time slots every day. Do not return the cost.

But the matter has come to this point, as much as it is recovered, Ji Shaoning bought a ticket to watch the first screening in a nervous mood, and then stayed at home to wait for the news.

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was less than half an hour away from knowing the box office situation of the first day. Although it was definitely not ideal, Ji Shaoning still wanted to know how badly he lost.

A call came, and Ji Shaoning answered it without even looking at it.

"I'm Qi Hao!"

Ji Shaoning suddenly couldn't react, "Qi Hao?" Shouldn't the box office be notified on the first day?Qi Hao to notify?

"Yes, I have something to tell you. Shifeng Culture is probably going to close down." Qi Hao's voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear the panic that the company was going to close down.

☆, 72. Meeting is still beaten
