Metaphysics, from getting started to giving up

Shower breaks.

Xiao Zhao looked up at the sky. In summer, Jindu is always cloudy and sunny. If other cities broadcast sequentially throughout the year, the weather in Jindu is played randomly in four seasons a day.He remembered that there was a light rain in the morning, and then it was sunny.Now that the evening was approaching, there was another light rain, which made the whole city very humid, and even people's mood was not very clear.

He walked into the building in front of him.

All the way down to the basement, Xiao Zhao stopped and knocked on the door.

This is a single apartment within the second ring road of Jindu, and because the room is located on the basement floor, it is even more humid.

After knocking for a while and finding no one responded, Xiao Zhao had to increase his strength and changed knocking to clapping.When he patted his hands sorely, and wanted to take out his mobile phone to call the person behind the door, the door creaked tremblingly, and then opened in response.

The person who answered the door was a young man with an upright and handsome appearance, but his eyes were in a trance, which made him look quite listless.

"Student Zou Zhi," Xiao Zhao straightened his collar, "may I ask how you recited the script?"

Zhou Yi twitched the corners of his mouth: "I have corrected you many times, right? My name is Zhou Yi, and I am an accomplished one. Tell me to try again!?"

Xiao Zhao helplessly spread his hands: "I can't help it, you also know that our Jindu compatriots can't tell the difference, and I, Zhao, am not a high-achieving student like you, so blame me for the wrong pronunciation?"

Zhou Yi suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and the situation made people feel low. At present, he can't afford to offend Xiao Zhao, so he can only swallow his anger.

"I've memorized all the scripts. There's no problem with tomorrow's audition. I can definitely win this role..." He lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice.

Xiao Zhao showed a childish expression of praise: "That's okay, by the way, I brought you something." He reached for the backpack on his back, took off the backpack, and took it out I picked up a small cardboard box, "This is Lao Lu from Heyuan County. I have inquired about it. Director Shen's assistant director is good for this. Tomorrow, you can find a spare time and deliver the things to the assistant director by yourself, and keep them for safekeeping." He gave you the role."

"This... is not good, I think it still depends on strength." Zhou Yi said slowly.

Xiao Zhao raised his hand and moved forward to stuff the box into Zhou Yi's arms.

"Zou Zhi, you melon skin, listen to me. You need the strength of a hammer. At your current level, you can't reach the point where you need to fight for strength!" Xiao Zhao spat, "Just do what I say. , if you can’t get another role, believe it or not, I will sue you to the court in no time? You signed an agreement with our company, and now the contract is about to expire and you haven’t participated in any star-studded film and television, huh ! See you in court then!"

After finishing speaking, he arrogantly pulled the anti-theft door at the door of Zhou Yi's house, and closed it.It's a pity that this door is very old, and the gate is rusted. Xiao Zhao pulled it a few times, but he couldn't directly press the door on Zhou Yi's face.In the end, he had no choice but to snort embarrassingly, turn around and stride away.

Holding the box of green tea in one hand, Zhou Yi leaned against the threshold of the anti-theft door, and couldn't help sighing heavily.

Good luck tricks people.

Today is the third week after his rebirth to the millennium.

After experiencing the initial unease and restlessness, Zhou Yi quickly calmed down within half a month.

On the one hand, he is constantly learning the difference between the present and the past, and on the other hand, he is constantly testing his current identity.

Zhou Yi did not inherit the original body's memory, but found a suicide note in the basement where Yuan Shen was renting, but the content of the suicide note was ambiguous, which made Zhou Yi unable to tell what was going on.In short, he came to a conclusion after sorting it out: the original owner seemed to be a top student of a certain institution of higher learning, but for some reason, he dropped out of the institution and changed his career, becoming a young actor.

Yes, little actors.

The former Jinshan Gate had a great reputation. Zhou Yi, as the chief of the generation, was also considered an extremely human minister, but in the secular world, he still couldn't escape the label of a low class.

Although Zhou Yi is the chief, he is prudent and prudent, but when he was young and frivolous, he also felt resentful because he was despised by the children of officials.

He has a strong learning ability. These days, he has figured out the appearance of the modern society. He knows that although the actor looks good, it is difficult for outsiders to understand the bitterness and suffering in it.Especially like the current Zhou Yi, who usually can only play tricks, the male seven-eight-nine who acted in third-rate online dramas, his status is only a little higher than the background extras in the film and television base, young actors.

Turning around and closing the door, Zhou Yi casually threw the box of green tea on the wooden table in the room.

This basement is cramped and small, only tens of square meters, without a kitchen, only a small living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom with a slap in the face.

Tick.

A small drop of water fell from the ceiling, impartially, and happened to hit the green tea box, as if trying to pierce the box.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but sighed again.

He picked up the box, brought it to the bedroom, found the kraft paper used to wrap the book before, carefully packed the box of green tea, and then casually stuffed it into the box at the bottom of the closet.

Xiao Zhao who came over to deliver the tea just now is the original body's "manager".

Speaking of being a manager, I'm afraid they are flattering Xiao Zhao.At present, the "Brilliant International Entertainment Co., Ltd." that Zhou Yi has signed a contract with sounds awesome, but it is actually a company with a famous name.

Zhou Yi even suspects that "Hui Guo Entertainment" is actually a leather bag company, relying on the wide spread of the net to sign a bunch of young and ignorant boys and girls who are dreaming of acting, and then release them, living on the artist's deposit.

Zhou Yi has seen this kind of trick a lot before. In the previous dynasty, there were often such things that fooled poor people's children into the palace to do things, but in the end they took money and castrated the children and ran away.

However, with the evolution of the times, the tricks and routines are also improving.

In addition to the guarantee deposit for the artist's contract, Huiguo Entertainment should have another income.

Liquidated damages.

Original body was supposed to be stupid at the beginning, and he sold himself so foolishly without carefully reading Huiguo Entertainment's labor contract at all. Now Zhou Yi re-studied it, only to find out how sinister this contract was.

The above clearly stipulates that the contracted artist must participate in at least one star TV series every year to generate income for the company, otherwise it is a breach of contract and needs to pay a liquidated damages of up to ten times the deposit.

Zhou Yi just arrived here, and at the beginning he didn't realize how deceitful this overlord's money is. After he got a little familiar with the modern society, he realized that this rule was a shoddy trap with no bait.

Huiguo Entertainment is just an empty shell like a leather bag company. It has neither the way of directing and producing, nor the relationship with various film and television. There are no resources at all here.

Just like Zhou Yi, he wants to act in a web drama. All male sevens have to work hard to sign up for auditions, and they may not be successful.

Participating in a star TV series?I'm afraid it's not an idiot's dream.

There is no way to produce the work, so naturally the only fate is to lose money. After all, the contract of Huiguo Entertainment is legally effective and protected by laws and regulations.

Zhou Yi only felt a severe headache.

and……

Leaving aside his participation in star TV dramas, after all, there is still more than half a year before the time stipulated in the contract, and the more urgent problem before Zhou Yi is——

He is poor.

Although the house price in Jindu is not as high as that of the gods and demons, it is still very expensive.The deposit left by the original body was pitifully small, Zhou Yi reckoned that he would be kicked out of the house by the landlord next month if he was saving money on food and expenses.

Originally, he wanted to return to Jinshanmen, rely on the strength of the division to maintain his livelihood, and revitalize the division by the way, but now Jinshanmen has long been empty, and even the remaining bricks and half tiles are still facing demolition. dilemma...

exactly……

In addition to finding ways to survive, Zhou Yi also had to find ways to make money and buy the land at Jinshan Gate to prevent the sect from being cut off.

"Man, it really is the pressure that makes you motivated," Zhou Yi scratched his hair, took out a bucket of instant noodles from under the bed, soaked them with some hot water from the electric kettle, and sat back to put the tea box before At the wooden table next to him, "Forget it, let's continue to read the script... first find a way to take down this role, otherwise, think of my generation of chief Jinshan, who was resurrected from the old emperor's hands, but was starved to death... oh ! Alas..."

The script in Zhou Yi's hands is an exclusive online drama "Fox Fairy Princess in Modern Times" that Qingyeguo Video Network is preparing to shoot. This is the "announcement" that Xiao Zhao arranged for him according to the regulations in the contract: Opportunity to audition for a drama audition.

The scale of the Qingyeguo video network is impressive, and it can only be regarded as a small shrimp under the feet of the domestic Internet TV giants, and the online drama crews also have limited funds.Otherwise, apart from a few leading actors, the crew would not have to pass the audition for other supporting roles, standing out among the low-priced suits.

But Zhou Yi didn't dislike it either, he had to be down-to-earth and take one step at a time.

He is not an academic who came from a major, and he has no experience in acting. This kind of repertoire with low requirements is suitable for him now.

Can……

Zhou Yi was fascinated by reading the book. The original novel of the web drama is a traditional routine web novel. The general story is just like the name. It tells a series of stories that happened after the princess of the fox fairy clan traveled to the modern age thousands of years ago.Helplessly, Zhou Yi is a genuine old antique, and has never seen this kind of move, so he was amazed by the old-fashioned plot in the script for a while.

Suddenly, he suddenly heard something outside the door.

Zhou Yi tilted his head.

The sound appeared to be coming from the upper floor of the basement.

The noise was a bit loud, and Zhou Yi, who didn't want to meddle in other people's business, couldn't read the script at all.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to put down the notebook, zip up his clothes, opened the door angrily and walked out, ready to check the situation outside.
