Chapter 58 Chapter 58

Sun Hongfei's right eyelid has been twitching recently.

As the saying goes, a twitching left eye means fortune, a twitching right eye means disaster.

But the problem is, everything has been going well for him recently. The number of views of "Reincarnation" has been increasing, and it can be predicted how generous his bonus will be at the end of the year. Not to mention his career, the president has already talked to him, and he will be able to take up the position of vice president as soon as the head office's inspection is completed.

How can it not look like a disaster?

Just when Sun Hongfei was puzzled, he happened to see Gu Xingshi coming in with the artists. He immediately threw away these messy thoughts and went up to say hello.

Then he saw President Gu brake suddenly and turn into the stairwell.

Sun Hongfei: “???”

At first, he comforted himself, maybe President Gu didn’t see him, or he just suddenly wanted to walk up the stairs to exercise.

But this happened several times afterwards.

He finally realized that Gu Xingshi was avoiding him.

But... why? !

He hasn’t done anything recently!

But he soon discovered something more serious.

Gu Xingshi not only avoided him, but also avoided President Wen!!

It doesn’t make sense!

Assistant Tang clearly said that the two of them spent Chinese Valentine’s Day together some time ago. Could it be that they had a quarrel?

Of course, what really made him sure was at a certain banquet. Ever

since Gu Xingshi knew the gossip about himself, he couldn’t look Wen Yue in the face, especially when he thought that Wen Yue knew about this, he was so embarrassed that his toes were tapping the ground.

So, he chose the simplest way - hiding.

He and Wen Yue were not in the same class, so it was not difficult to avoid each other if he really wanted to.

However, there were always one or two times when he could not avoid them.

At a certain dinner party, Gu Xingshi arrived early to avoid Wen Yue, and even chose a corner to sit.

He had planned to wait until the end of the dinner party in a low-key manner, and then sneak away when no one noticed.

However, the plan was rich, but the reality was very skinny.

From the moment he entered the banquet hall, the company presidents and business elites who were originally scattered everywhere surrounded him like jackals seeing meat.

It was so funny, he couldn't be low-key at all. It was not

until Wen Yue came that this group of people finally changed their targets and saved him from the sea of ​​suffering.

As soon as Wen Yue came in, he saw Gu Xingshi in the crowd.

The young man was talking and laughing, and he was so conspicuous in this group of people. Everyone was talking to him. It was obviously a very chaotic scene, but he was calm and did not ignore anyone.

He easily controlled the rhythm of the conversation, but it was just right and did not make people uncomfortable at all.

This is his unique talent.

Wen Yue had already experienced it at the dinner on the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Thinking of this, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he subconsciously touched the cufflinks. The golden gem was carved into the shape of an orange, sliding across his fingertips, as if leaving a faint sweetness.

Gu Xingshi took advantage of the time when everyone was greeting Wen Yue and secretly left the table to go to the bathroom.

It is well known that when Wen Yue attends such banquets, he usually shows up and leaves unless there is something necessary, and it won’t take long.

So Gu Xingshi squatted on the toilet, thinking that Wen Yue should have left, and then pushed the door to leave. But when he walked to the sink, he saw someone washing his hands slowly.

It was Wen Yue.

Gu Xingshi: “…”

I tried to hide in the toilet but still couldn’t escape! What kind of abusive fate is this!!

But since we have already seen each other, it would be rude to just leave.

So Gu Xingshi comforted himself, "If it's a blessing, it's not a curse, and if it's a curse, you can't avoid it." He walked forward as if nothing had happened, and greeted Wen Yue while washing his hands: "Mr. Wen, long time no see."

Wen Yue looked at Gu Xingshi through the mirror, was silent for a moment, then said: "Long time no see, Mr. Gu seems to be very busy recently?" Gu Xingshi

paused in turning off the water, then smiled: "It's okay, this is how we work in this industry!"

"That's good." Wen Yue wiped his hands and said casually, "Otherwise I would think that I said something wrong that night and offended Mr. Gu, so Mr. Gu was dissatisfied with me."

Gu Xingshi frowned and looked at Wen Yue suspiciously, but saw that he looked calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he knew about the rumor.

Gu Xingshi smiled and said, "How could that be? We had a very pleasant chat that night."

Although he knew that Gu Xingshi was just being polite, Wen Yue's mood suddenly improved. He nodded, "I think so too."

Gu Xingshi's doubts grew stronger, and he couldn't help but call the system: [System, does Wen Yue already know about this?]

The system whispered, [I think so. He seems to be investigating the source of the rumor recently.]

Gu Xingshi: [……]

He didn't forget how many random things he had posted on WeChat Moments in order to create a fictitious backer.

Although he deleted these WeChat Moments immediately after discovering the rumor, who knows if there will be any traces left in the online world.

What if Wen Yue finds out, and thinks of the relationship between the two of them in the rumor...

OK, the toes are already laying the foundation for the five-story villa.

Wen Yue's face was full of colorful expressions when he looked at Gu Xing, and he didn't expect his reaction to be so big.

He was so brave and pretended to be flawless when he tested him that night, and he almost got fooled by him.

Now he is just giving a small return, and he also wants to take the opportunity to talk things out. After all, this kind of groundless scandal is not a big problem as long as the parties involved don't care.

He finally met a partner who gets along so well with him, and he doesn't want to become estranged because of such a thing.

However, Gu Xingshi had already tightened his face, and before he could say anything else, he found an excuse to leave in a hurry.

Wen Yue rubbed his forehead. He didn't expect Gu Xingshi to care so much about the rumor.

Obviously adept at socializing, but so immature in relationships...

Wen Yue's heart beat irregularly for a moment.

He felt more and more that Gu Xingshi was like a mystery, as if every time he saw him, he could see a new side of him.

He pressed his chest and followed him out.

After they all left, Sun Hongfei, who was hiding in the cubicle, put down his hand covering his mouth and let out a long breath, but then he thought of the conversation he had just heard and took another breath.

He finally knew why President Gu had been avoiding President Wen recently!

Although he couldn't hear some of the words clearly when he was hiding in there just now, he still heard a few key words.

"That night", "offense", "pleasant"...

It can't be what he thinks? !

The two of them were not in harmony in some aspects, so they ended up in a cold war?!

Ah this... This is

the first time that the love security guard is helpless.

With such a secret in mind, Sun Hongfei was a little sad when he came to work on Monday.

His subordinate Xiao Li asked with concern: "Manager, are you troubled by something?"

Sun Hongfei thought about it and decided not to embarrass himself. It's better to find external help for this matter.

So he asked, "Xiao Li, is it like this? I have a friend... Don't look at me like that, it's not me, it's really my friend! My friend and her boyfriend used to have a good relationship, but they fell into a cold war because of some things not long ago. Do you think there is any way to make them reconcile?"

Xiao Li held his chin and said, "A couple's cold war is not a big deal, but it's not a small matter either. In fact, as long as one party is willing to give in, as a friend, you can help them get back together, and basically there will be no problem."

Sun Hongfei frowned, "Is it that simple?"

"Of course!" Xiao Li raised his hand, "Although I have never been in a relationship, I was a well-known love consultant when I was in college. Every time my friend was in a cold war with his partner, I was the one who brought them together. There is absolutely no problem."

Sun Hongfei: "Okay, you have a lot of friends, I'll listen to you."

Xiao Li: "?"

At this moment, an internal call came into Sun Hongfei's office. It was Tang Ling, saying that President Wen wanted to see him.

Sun Hongfei had to report to President Wen from time to time because of the affairs of the Film and Television Center recently, so he didn't think much about it. He straightened his clothes and went to the headquarters.

However, after he went in, he saw Wen Yue staring at him for a long time with a complicated expression.

Sun Hongfei's heart was lifted up. He always felt that President Wen's eyes were a little strange. Could it be that there was something dirty on his face?

Wen Yue retracted his gaze.

To be honest, he was a little shocked when he found out about Sun Hongfei.

After all, Sun Hongfei looked honest and had good abilities.

He had even thought about training him before.

But he didn't expect that he was such a person in private!

Wen Yue didn't talk to Gu Xingshi about it last night, so he simply changed his mind today.

The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

Since the rumor came from Sun Hongfei, it makes sense for him to explain it clearly.

Thinking of this, he asked Sun Hongfei: "Do you have a good relationship with Mr. Gu?"

Sun Hongfei's heart skipped a beat, and he answered cautiously: "It's okay, mainly because there are more opportunities for cooperation, and Mr. Gu takes care of me."

Wen Yue looked at him meaningfully, and then said: "I have heard some rumors recently, about me and Mr. Gu..."

Sun Hongfei was a little confused.

What rumors, how could he not know.

Seeing his reaction, Wen Yue couldn't help but feel a little heart-attacked.

Wasn't this Sun Hongfei quite smart before? Why did he lose his temper at the critical moment!

He really couldn't say openly that he and Gu Xingshi were in love.

He could only emphasize: "It has something to do with you. You'd better think it through before answering."

Sun Hongfei was even more confused.

But suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

As far as Sun Hongfei knew, some people had been secretly spreading rumors that President Wen and President Gu were not in harmony. Could this be the rumor about him and President Gu that President Wen mentioned?

Moreover, President Wen first asked about the relationship between him and President Gu, and after mentioning the rumor, he emphasized that it was related to him.

Isn't this just to let him act as a middleman to match him and President Gu!

Xiao Li's words instantly appeared in his mind.

Yes!

Isn't President Wen giving in?

Sun Hongfei figured out everything instantly.

Oh, President Wen's mind is really tortuous.

If he wasn't good at understanding, wouldn't this be a big deal?

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wen, I know." Wen

Yue doubted: "Do you really know?"

Sun Hongfei was sure: "Yes."

Wen Yue: "..."

He decided to give Sun Hongfei another chance. After all, reliable subordinates are not easy to find.

So he said: "Since you know, then you should explain the rumor clearly, okay?"

"No problem!" Sun Hongfei was full of confidence.

You have refuted the rumor yourself, what else can there be!

Wen Yue: "..."

-Sun

Hongfei took on the heavy responsibility and began to work hard to create a meeting opportunity for Gu Xingshi and Wen Yue.

Gu Xingshi was caught off guard and couldn't explain.

After all, every time he said that, Sun Hongfei would look at him with a look that said, "Look, you are just saying that in anger."

Gu Xingshi could no longer bear it and could only devote all his energy to his work.

After "Reincarnation" became popular, it directly brought all the actors to fame.

There is no need to say much about the leading actors.

Sheng Yueqing's performance was the most surprising to the audience.

Especially in the early plot, his identity was not exposed. Everyone thought he was a villain and had been targeting him, but he endured this misunderstanding and still helped them silently.

However, the audience was distressed.

In particular, there was a scene in which the teacher he played returned to his residence with serious injuries, but because of fatigue and inability to treat the wound, he could only lie on the floor. Even

if he didn't say a word, everyone could still feel the despair and pain in him.

It even made people feel that he wanted to give up his life like this.

At this moment, a weak cat's cry came from the corner of the room.

A white kitten walked up to him, meowing and licking his face.

Shichen put down his hands covering his eyes and looked into the kitten's eyes.

Finally, he sighed, dragged his heavy body, took out the dried meat from the cupboard, and sprinkled it in front of the kitten.

Looking at the kitten eating hard, he seemed to have unloaded all his burdens. He muttered "I really can't do anything about you" but showed the most innocent smile on his face.

A ray of sunlight fell on this small corner.

He was covered in blood and his cheeks were still injured, but he had the most innocent and clean smile.

This extreme contrast instantly hit everyone's heart.

However, this beauty was so short-lived. In the next episode, he saved the male protagonist at the last minute with his life and died gorgeously.

That night, the topic #师臣永遠的白月光# became a hot search.

Everyone was crying below.

Some people even recalled Sheng Yueqing's past experiences.

Wasn't he just like Shichen in the past? He entered this dirty world at a young age, was misunderstood, oppressed, and hurt, but still maintained a heart as clear as glass.

Shichen can't come back, but they transferred their love for Shichen to Sheng Yueqing.

Although Gu Xingshi had thought before that Shichen and Sheng Yueqing's similar experiences would make some viewers empathize, he didn't expect the effect to be so amazing. The

more harshly Sheng Yueqing was scolded in the past, the more people feel sorry for him now.

There were also people who didn't know the truth and followed the trend to slander him in the past who came out to apologize, and they were all to the extent of "slapping themselves in the face when they thought about it in the middle of the night."

Although Sheng Yueqing's popularity was amazing, Gu Xingshi remained calm.

Many people hope that Sheng Yueqing will continue to play this kind of white moonlight, or take the male lead while the popularity is high.

Indeed, such a script was handed to Gu Xingshi, but after he and Sheng Yueqing analyzed it, they still reluctantly refused.

It's not that the script is bad, but Sheng Yueqing's acting skills are not good enough to play this role at the moment.

Shi Chen can play well because his experience overlaps, allowing him to empathize.

But the audience's heartache cannot be consumed again and again. The bonus brought by the role will disappear one day, and they may not be able to bear the backlash at that time.

It is better to take advantage of this wave of traffic to take on some more challenging supporting roles and improve acting skills a little bit.

However, Sheng Yueqing's job is easy to find, and what really gives Gu Xingshi a headache is Qin Wen, who just came out of the Fengtingyun crew.

In terms of acting skills, Qin Wen is beyond doubt.

But on the contrary, choosing scripts for him is more difficult than for Sheng Yueqing.

In the entertainment industry, there has always been an unspoken rule that some good scripts will be screened by large companies before they will flow to the smaller companies below.

If you are lucky, you can get a chance, such as this "Reincarnation", but most of the time, you don't have this kind of luck.

Gu Xingshi can only take Qin Wen to various crews for auditions.

However, there are only so many good scripts, and the major companies are fighting for them. If you go to a small company like Le Shi, you will be crushed to pieces, and Gu Xingshi can only give up helplessly.

He sighed in his heart, it would be great if he could form his own creative team.

That day, as usual, he took Qin Wen to a film crew for an audition. While Qin Wen went in to wait for the audition, Gu Xingshi was going to buy a bottle of water from the vending machine. As soon as he walked over, he heard a tugging sound coming from the other side.

His keen sense of eating melons for many years made him immediately aware of the smell of melons over there.

He carefully poked his head out and found that it was a girl with short hair and glasses who was pulling with a tall man with an impatient face.

Gu Xingshi vaguely heard the girl crying and begging the man: "Teacher Fang, didn't you say that you could add my name to my work this time?"

The man whom she called Teacher Fang sneered: "Name? What are you dreaming about? Look at this circle, which young screenwriter is not working hard? You have only been working for a few years, and you want to add your name to your work?!"

The girl cried even more urgently: "But this script... two-thirds of it was written by me. You promised me that you could add my name to the screenwriter column..."

"How dare you? I was the one who edited all the crap you wrote! You are a screenwriter who is not a professional. If I hadn't taken you with me, do you think you could get into this industry? And you want to sign your name?"

The man said, and pushed her away. "Okay, don't block my way."

The girl was pushed to the ground, hugging her knees and sobbing in grievance.

The system gossiped with Gu Xingshi: [The man's name is Fang Xiao. He has no talent, but he has been in this circle for many years and has some connections. He opened a screenwriting studio and took on projects for his screenwriters to write. But after they were finished, he put his own name on them. 】

【This is almost the unspoken rule in this circle, but Fang Xiao went a little too far. This girl is called Yu Youxia, and she wants to be a screenwriter, but because she is not a professional, she has been hitting a wall everywhere until she entered Fang Xiao's studio. Although Yu Youxia is not a professional, she is very talented in this area. Fang Xiao's slightly better scripts in the past two years are almost all written by her. Fang Xiao is reluctant to let her go, but also reluctant to give her a credit, so he keeps her hanging with this...】

Gu Xingshi frowned when he heard this.

This is too much!!

But he can't do anything about it. After all, it is very troublesome to judge plagiarism in commissioned work such as screenwriting, and it is not as easy as plagiarizing novels in scripts before.

Moreover, many people in this industry rely on connections. Even if Yu Youxia can get justice, she will be excluded by the vested interests in these circles in the future and will still be out of work.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea.

Didn't he want to form his own creative team?

Now that the company has money, it is not a big deal to support one or two screenwriters.

So, he walked directly towards Yu Youxia: "Are you okay?"

Yu Youxia shuddered when she heard his voice, and raised her head. Her red eyes matched her terrified expression, and she looked like a frightened little rabbit.

Gu Xingshi handed over the tissue, and Yu Youxia took it carefully and said thank you in a low voice.

Seeing that her mood had stabilized a little, Gu Xingshi said: "My name is Gu Xingshi, and I'm from Leshi Company..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Youxia's eyes widened: "Mr. Gu!"

Gu Xingshi: "..."

I didn't expect him to be so famous, so I didn't have to introduce myself.

Gu Xingshi: "I saw what happened just now. If you are willing, would you like to come to work in our company?"

He didn't know how much the screenwriter's salary was, so he considered adding 50% to the assistant's salary.

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Yu Youxia on the opposite side took a breath of cold air: "Hiss——"

Gu Xingshi: "Because it is a desk screenwriter, the treatment you should have, such as five insurances and one housing fund, company benefits, etc., are all based on national standards..."

Yu Youxia: "Hiss——"

Gu Xingshi: "As for the right of authorship, whoever writes it can sign it. We can clearly write it in the contract..."

Yu Youxia: "Hiss——"

Gu Xingshi couldn't continue: "Don't just cry, if you are not satisfied, we can still negotiate the treatment..."

Unexpectedly, it would be better if he didn't ask, but Yu Youxia started crying again when he asked: "Wuwuwu, I'm not dissatisfied, this treatment is simply too good, President Gu, when are we going to sign the contract?"

Gu Xingshi: "..."

Although Yu Youxia looked timid, she was really a man of action.

Yu Youxia did not sign a labor contract with Fang Xiao. Although she suffered a lot of losses before, she now has fewer troubles and can leave directly.

When she saw the working environment and dormitory, Yu Youxia's eyes were red again.

She mustered up her courage and asked Gu Xingshi, "Mr. Gu, actually I have a few friends who are also screenwriters and very capable. I wonder if they can..."

Her voice trailed off here, "They are really amazing, you can evaluate them! It's just that they are a little introverted..."

Since Gu Xingshi was planning to form a creative team, he didn't mind having a few more people, so he said, "Okay."

Yu Youxia immediately became excited, "Then I'll notify them right away!"

Originally, Gu Xingshi thought there would be only two or three people, but when he opened the conference room, he saw a row of people looking at him, but the moment he looked over, they all lowered their heads at the same time, like a row of trembling quails.

Gu Xingshi: "..."

Yu Youxia came over a little embarrassedly and introduced him one by one: "Mr. Gu, this is Chun Yan, she is good at writing reasoning and suspense works. She wrote the previous "Murderer" trilogy..."

Chun Yan raised her head, whispered to Gu Xingshi and greeted him, then lowered her head again.

Through Yu Youxia's introduction, these people almost cover all creative categories, and they also have their own strengths, such as good at writing dialogues, good at character design, good at structure... More importantly, this group of people have relied on each other for these years, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and their cooperation is even more powerful.

It can be said that as long as there is such a group of people on hand, whatever script Gu Xingshi wants, they can come up with it.

However, with such a big pie in front of him, Gu Xingshi became cautious: [General, they won’t have any scandals, right?]

System: [Hey, you’ve asked the right person!]

Gu Xingshi’s heart tightened: [For example?]

System: [Although these people have creative talents, they have one thing in common, that is, social phobia!]

Gu Xingshi: […I can see that. 】

System: 【For example, Chun Yan, although she has written so many amazing works, she has a very soft personality. She doesn't even dare to speak loudly to people. She has never received the final payment. In the worst year, she only made 5,000 yuan. Now she is still paying for work...】

Gu Xingshi: 【...】

System: 【For example, this Wen Boling, when he was with the crew, the fifth male of the crew climbed into bed in the middle of the night. He wanted to increase his role, and he screamed in fear, which directly frightened the other party to death. However, because he was too socially anxious, he didn't dare to confront him. In the end, not only did he not get an apology, but he was also blackmailed for treatment fees...】

Gu Xingshi: 【...】

System sigh: 【Fortunately, the first person you met was Yu Youxia. To be honest, she is already the most e-friendly among this group of people! 】

Gu Xingshi: 【……】
