"Second Young Master, come to Yun'an Club to play."
I just heard Chen Rongshan mention Lu Xuan yesterday, and today I received a call from him, saying that a few of them were having a gathering at Yun'an Club and asked him to go over as well.
Du Yuanzhe happened to have nothing to do, so he decided to go and take a look.
Cloud Shore Hotel
This is a high-end leisure club where the original owner used to get together with friends.
The waiter at the club knew Du Yuanzhe, and when he saw him come in, he immediately came up to him and said, "Second Master Du, Master Lu is waiting for you in Songyuan on the second floor."
Du Yuanzhe was very familiar with this place and did not need a waiter to lead the way. He went up to the second floor, turned right and the second private room was Song Garden.
After opening the door and walking in, Du Yuanzhe saw several people playing cards in the box. They were all people who had been close to the original owner.
When those people saw Du Yuanzhe, they looked at each other in surprise, how could someone they hadn't seen for such a long time suddenly appear here?
One of the young men with dyed blond hair stood up and said, "Yuanzhe is here, come and sit down."
Du Yuanzhe walked over and sat down: "Lu Xuan, why did your hair become this color?"
Lu Xuan smiled proudly: "How about it? Doesn't it feel like the yellow-haired cannon fodder in the movies and TV dramas? I was just waiting to see someone use me to show off, but then found out that I am richer than him."
Du Yuanzhe's mouth twitched: "Your hobbies are still so unique."
At this time, other people also started to greet Du Yuanzhe. After all, they were in the same circle, and among them, Du Yuanzhe had the best family background. Even if he was absent from their gatherings for a long time, few people would openly offend him.
Everyone was as enthusiastic as ever, as if Du Yuanzhe had never been absent.
"Yuanzhe, I heard that you starred in a very popular drama recently?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "The show hasn't aired yet, so we don't know if it will be a hit."
"If you ask me, Yuanzhe, you are a member of the Du family after all. You don't need to audition like those stars. Just let Mr. Du invest in whatever drama you want to act in, and then you can act however you want."
Du Yuanzhe didn't want to pay attention to such words. He looked condescending. He was just a parasite who lived a life of idleness and waiting to die. His family didn't have much money, but he looked quite handsome.
Lu Xuan said, "What do you know? Yuanzhe just likes acting, and we don't have to think about how to make money. We can do whatever we want. Look at me, I just want to slap others in the face, but unfortunately I never find the opportunity."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. They really didn't want to discuss his weird hobby with him.
Lu Xuan looked at Du Yuanzhe and said, "Yuanzhe, it's not good for me to just sit there and wait passively. Do you think I should come up with a plot? For example, raping a woman or something."
Du Yuanzhe asked: "And then?"
Lu Xuan was a little excited: "Then, someone will come out to stop me. When the time comes, I will wave my hand and a dozen bodyguards will rush out. Hahaha, that person's face will definitely look very unhappy by then."
"Then you'll be in jail."
Lu Xuan’s face froze.
Du Yuanzhe said helplessly: "There is no need for me to argue with you. If I see someone robbing someone in the street, I can just call the police and that's it."
Everyone else laughed.
"It's okay, Lu Xuan. I'll pick you up when the time comes."
"I'll prove to you that you don't want to kidnap anyone, you're just mentally ill."
“Hahaha~”
Lu Xuan glared at them and said, "Get out of here, all of you go to one side."
He then asked Du Yuanzhe: "Yuanzhe, do you have any good ideas?"
Du Yuanzhe picked up an orange and played with it: "Why do you have to slap someone in the face?"
“It feels great.”
"I think you are full and have nothing to do."
Lu Xuan nodded and admitted frankly: "I just have free time. We don't have to work. We have millions of pocket money every month. We can buy whatever we want. My dad said that as long as I don't commit a crime, I can do whatever I want."
Someone heard this and laughed, "Lu Xuan, aren't you a bit unwilling?"
"What are you unwilling to accept?"
"Every family has an eldest child, so it's fine if you can't inherit the family business, but you are the eldest child, are you willing to let your younger brother inherit the family business?"
Lu Xuan sneered, "Why are you unwilling? Do you really think it's so good to inherit the family business? Since I was a child, I have seen my father get off work very late every day. He would be away on business trips for a month or two. As long as the company's stock price fluctuates a little, those shareholders will make trouble. My father has not died of exhaustion until now, all thanks to the development of modern medicine."
“It’s tiring, but the status is high.”
"That's right. In the upper class, we are nothing. Those uncles and aunts don't take us seriously at all. But look at Jiang Chelin and Xia Ningmi, who are the same age as us. Wherever they go, a large number of people will gather around them and show their courtesy."
Lu Xuan leaned on the sofa: "But there are only Jiang Chelin and Xia Ningmi in the whole Yancheng. Even Yuanzhe's eldest brother doesn't dare to say that he can stabilize the company immediately after Uncle Du is gone. There are still more people like us."
The others all looked unhappy when they heard this. Several of them had opened small companies and were obviously ambitious. Lu Xuan's words were clearly saying that they were incapable.
This person just doesn't like to hear the truth.
Du Yuanzhe listened with great interest. He didn't know Lu Xuan had such insight.
Lu Xuan continued to pester Du Yuanzhe: "Yuanzhe, please help me think of a script."
Du Yuanzhe glanced at him: "Is this why you asked me to come here today?"
Lu Xuan flatly denied: "How could that be possible? I just think we brothers should get together."
"Forget it. I don't have a script."
Lu Xuan became disappointed instantly.
"However, I can give you an idea."
"Hurry up and tell me."
"You don't have to wait for others to provoke you to slap someone in the face. You can just take the initiative to slap someone in the face."
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up: "Yes."
At this moment, a man who had just returned from the toilet said, "Guess what I just saw?"
"If you have to fart, do it now."
The man chuckled and said, "I saw Jiang Chelin entangled with a woman. I took a quick glance and she looked familiar. She seemed to be a female star."
Others immediately became interested.
"It seems that Jiang Chelin is not as clean as he pretends to be. He still plays with women. He acted like a gentleman before. He is really good at pretending."
"Are you really a female star? I heard that Jiang Chelin's first love has returned to China. When his first love went abroad, Jiang Chelin was abandoned for a long time. It's obvious that he was deeply in love."
Du Yuanzhe listened to what they said, rolled his eyes, patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, your chance to slap someone in the face has come."
Lu Xuan's neck shrank: "Are you asking me to go find fault with Jiang Chelin?"
Du Yuanzhe praised: "Really smart."
"Stop making a fuss. That's Jiang Chelin. I don't dare to mess with him."
Du Yuanzhe raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with Jiang Chelin? He is not your father."
"But he can make my dad cut off my pocket money, and I'm relying on that pocket money to live a life of idleness and waiting for death."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go with you. Then Jiang Chelin will only pay attention to me and forget about you, and you can enjoy the feeling of being slapped in the face."
Lu Xuan was eager to hear this: "Really?"
Du Yuanzhe said seriously: "Of course, can I cheat my own brother?"
Lu Xuan slapped his thigh and gritted his teeth, "Fuck it."
After saying that, he stood up abruptly, opened the door and walked out without stopping, not giving himself any chance to regret.
Everyone else was stunned: "What happened to Lu Xuan?"
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "He's going to be a hero and save the beauty," and followed him out.
The other side of the second floor
Wei Lingling tried to shake Jiang Chelin off but to no avail: "Jiang Chelin, let me go."
Jiang Chelin pursed his lips: "I've already said that Wang Linxuan and I just met by chance and had a meal together."
Wei Lingling sneered: "Besides that, didn't you also help her find a good place to hold her art exhibition?"
Jiang Chelin said: "Wang Lianxuan just returned to China and is not familiar with Yancheng yet. I helped her because she asked me for help."
"When did you become so kindhearted? When my mother was hospitalized and needed money, you always said that you would never do anything that would not benefit you. What good could Wang Yanxuan give you?"
Jiang Chelin frowned even more tightly: "That was all in the past. I won't reject you now."
"Yes, so you won't reject Wang Yanxuan either."
Wei Lingling chuckled and said, "It turns out that President Jiang is a sentimental person."
"What are you talking about, I'm now..."
"Hey, what is President Jiang doing?"
Lu Xuan came over and said, "We live in a society ruled by law now. It is not allowed to force a decent girl. President Jiang will not break the law, right?"
Wei Lingling took advantage of Jiang Chelin's distraction and immediately shook him off and ran behind Du Yuanzhe.
Jiang Chelin also saw Du Yuanzhe and ignored Lu Xuan. He said coldly, "Du Yuanzhe, this is something that happened between Lingling and me. Don't meddle in other people's business."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but Lingling is my friend. She obviously doesn't want to get involved with you, so I can't just ignore it."
"Besides, I hate people who play both sides the most. Shouldn't President Jiang reflect on himself first?"
Jiang Chelin's face turned pale: "I'm not two-timing, don't slander me in front of Lingling."
Du Yuanzhe shaved his cheek and said, "Yes, you are not two-timing. You are just with your current girlfriend while not rejecting your ex-girlfriend."
Jiang Chelin angrily shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Du Yuanzhe shrugged and turned to look at Lingling: "Lingling, do you want to come with us?"
Wei Lingling nodded.
Jiang Chelin immediately took two steps forward to pull Wei Lingling back, but was stopped by Lu Xuan: "Mr. Jiang, don't be so embarrassing. It's obvious that the girl doesn't want to pay attention to you."
Jiang Chelin looked at him coldly, then turned his gaze to Du Yuanzhe: "You are great!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lu Xuan looked at Wei Lingling and said resentfully, "Yuanzhe, you are using me as a raft."
Du Yuanzhe said calmly: "Just asking if you felt good just now?"
"Cool!"
路軒瞬間變得眉開眼笑：“那可是蔣澈霖，能讓他丢面子，簡直爽翻天了。”
“好了，你先回包廂，我一會兒再去找你。”
路軒點頭：“我等着你再教我幾招。”
打發走路軒，杜元哲才看向衛菱菱，見她情緒不對，問道：“你沒事吧？”
衛菱菱勉強笑笑：“沒事，倒是你進組拍戲幾個月，可是一次都沒和我聯系，還拿不拿我當朋友？”
杜元哲道：“我在劇組忙得連軸轉，連和我媽打電話的時候都沒有。”
“這麽忙嗎？”
“你也知道我是第一次演這麽重要的角色，我不想拖後腿當然要多努力一些。”
衛菱菱看看他：“元哲，你真的變了很多，你以前恨不得讓公司忘了你是個演員，演的戲多一句臺詞就讓你很煩躁。”
杜元哲淡淡笑道：“人總會變的嘛。”
衛菱菱抓住二樓欄杆，看着樓下形形色色的人，輕聲道：“是啊，人總是要變的。”
“夏總，您慢走。”
旁邊的包廂門打開，夏凝覓從裏面走出來，正好和杜元哲四目相對。
杜元哲臉色頓時變得不自然。
“夏......你也在這兒啊。”
夏凝覓目光移向衛菱菱。
杜元哲立刻解釋：“那什麽，路軒那小子找我過來聚會，正好碰到菱菱。”
夏凝覓收回視線，踩着高跟鞋從杜元哲身邊經過，沒有和他說一句話。
等她離開，杜元哲繃着的神經才放松下來，一扭頭就看到衛菱菱意味深長的目光，頓時吓了一跳。
“你，你看我做什麽？”
衛菱菱戲谑道：“某個人方才是不是太緊張了些？”
杜元哲下意識否認：“誰緊張了，她畢竟是老板，我就是例行打個招呼。”
“我有說是你嗎？”
杜元哲臉色一僵，惱怒道：“衛菱菱，我剛救了你，你能不能別恩将仇報？”
衛菱菱失笑：“你反應這麽大做什麽，喜歡就去追啊。”
“笑話，”杜元哲嗤笑：“什麽我就喜歡了，是她喜歡我！”
衛菱菱指指自己的眼睛，問道：“我看起來像瞎子嗎？”
杜元哲一陣洩氣，重複道：“真是她喜歡我。”
衛菱菱狐疑地看他：“你是不是腦子出問題了，比如經常出現幻覺什麽的？”
“算了，你不相信就算了。”
衛菱菱笑道：“人家剛才走的時候看都沒看你一眼，你讓我怎麽相信。”
杜元哲抿嘴。
是啊，連他都不覺得是真的，怎麽讓衛菱菱相信？
叮——
杜元哲的微信提示音響起。
夏總：“今晚吃糖醋魚”
她說這話就代表會回家吃飯。
杜元哲看看時間已經下午五點半了，他連忙回了個“好”，道：“菱菱，我先把你送回家，我一會兒還有事。”
衛菱菱不明白他怎麽一下子變得急迫起來，跟着一起下樓道：“我不回家，你送我去朋友家。”
她擔心蔣澈霖會去她家等着她。
“行，你把地址發給我。”
十分鐘後
路軒疑惑杜元哲怎麽還不回來，出來一看卻發現走廊裏一個人都沒有。
人呢？
辣麽大的一個人呢？
路軒站在走廊裏一臉茫然。
等杜元哲回到家已經是六點，夏凝覓正在家裏。
杜元哲主動解釋道：“今天看到蔣澈霖糾纏衛菱菱，我就幫了下忙，剛才把她送去朋友家了。”
夏凝覓淡淡道：“我餓了。”
杜元哲忙道：“我這就去做飯。”
晚上，躺在床上
杜元哲回想之前發生的一切，突然覺得自己對夏凝覓似乎太殷勤了一些。
都怪夏凝覓！
他之前一心拼事業，從沒想過感情方面的事，自從聽了夏凝覓的話，整個人就變得神神叨叨。
夏凝覓看了都得覺得他是不是腦子出問題了。
杜元哲整理這兩天雜亂的情緒，決定以後還是得維持原樣，省得兩人相處尴尬。
......
還有幾天過年，年味越來越濃，杜元哲走在街上看到各個商鋪已經開始貼對聯和福字。
小胖跟在他身邊，道：“哲哥，你看熱搜了嗎？”
杜元哲問：“什麽熱搜？”
“今天剛剛爆出來一線男星孫耀吸毒了，被警方當場抓獲，據說還是聚衆吸毒，孫耀算是完了，我們國家對吸毒可是零容忍。”
杜元哲道：“一年不知道有多少緝毒警察犧牲，吸毒若是還能複出，娛樂圈就真的該整頓了。”
小胖一臉不理解：“孫耀名氣那麽大，有錢又有名，為什麽想不開吸毒？”
“或許是想尋求刺激，這誰能知道呢。”
叮鈴鈴——
正在這時，劉旭打來電話。
“劉哥，什麽事？”
劉旭壓抑着激動道：“元哲，孫耀吸毒的事你聽說了吧？”
“剛還和小胖說這事呢。”
劉旭道：“孫耀其實早就被抓了，今天被警方通報算是蓋棺定論，但他本來正在拍電視劇，他這一進去不要緊，但劇組沒了男主角可不行，導演正發愁找誰救場呢。”
杜元哲瞬間明白劉旭的意思：“劉哥想讓我去？”
“我正好和這個導演熟悉，你先來看看劇本，如果覺得合适，就和我一起去見見導演。”
杜元哲點頭：“好。”
他顧不得在街上閑逛，讓小胖開車帶他回公司。
千影娛樂，劉旭辦公室
劉旭将劇本遞給他，道：“這是部諜戰劇，主編劇是《暗戰》的編劇，這個編劇特別擅長寫諜戰劇本。”
小胖驚喜道：“真的是《暗戰》的編劇？我之前看了好幾遍《暗戰》，那種通過情報一次次拯救我們同志的感覺實在是太棒了，每次看到小日本的謀劃被破壞我都覺得很爽，這編劇太懂觀衆想看什麽了。”
劉旭笑道：“現在這個《秘聲》劇本是編劇花費了數年才打磨完成，絕對不輸之前的《暗戰》。”
杜元哲正在專心翻看劇本。
諜戰劇最關鍵的就是思維得缜密，每一個細節都得重視，潛伏在敵人內部随時有可能丢掉性命，任何一個小細節被忽略都有可能暴露。
這個編劇就是一個細節控，他對自己寫出來的每一幕劇情都會反複推導，務必做到不漏過每個細節。
正是這個習慣，讓他喜歡寫利用各種小細節摧毀敵人陰謀的劇情，這也就是小胖說的爽點。
杜元哲看完劇本當場就決定道：“劉哥，我想見導演。”
劉旭馬上道：“我這就去和他打電話。”
下午三點，如峰酒店豪華房間中
杜元哲見到了《秘聲》的導演朱彌。
朱彌眉宇間帶着憂愁，臉上滿是疲憊：“雖說劇組急需要新男主救場，但我對這部劇期待很高，不會胡亂将就。”
杜元哲道：“我今天只是來試戲，用不用我全看導演。”
朱彌點頭：“老劉已經讓我看過你的演戲片段，我對你的演技很滿意，但我得聽聽你對角色的理解。”
杜元哲道：“穆晃是個觀察細致，心思缜密的人，為了不暴露身份，他在特工總部一心撈錢，從不接觸情報，但他早将特工總部每個人的習慣記在心裏，所以總能根據一丁點變化發現異常，不動聲色地把情報搞到手。”
“即便穆晃傳遞過多次重要情報救了不少人，但他也親眼見證過不少同志從被捕到受拷問再到被行刑整個過程，所以我覺得這個人的內心一直是悲傷的，他永遠不會真正的笑，當他獨處時整個人都是孤獨痛苦的，長期的潛伏讓穆晃的精神時刻處于緊繃狀态，三重身份時刻壓迫着他的神經，他應該是帶些神經質的，我覺得這一點可以通過小習慣來體現，比如習慣性撚紙或者點燃火柴眼看着它燒完。”
朱彌神色越來越認真，臉上露出一絲激動，看向劉旭道：“老劉，這次得是我謝謝你。”
劉旭一聽這話就明白朱彌的意思，高興道：“我們這關系，不用計較這些。”
朱彌站起來來回踱步，激動道：“我得和編劇商量改改劇本。這樣，元哲，我們現在就去你們公司簽合同，然後我就得回劇組，馬上就過年了，你先和家人過年，初二再進組也不遲。”
朱彌越說越興奮：“我得給警方送面錦旗，感謝他們抓了孫耀。”
杜元哲看着朱彌神色愕然，這人是不是過于激動了？
劉旭低聲解釋道：“朱導就這樣，只要提及和劇本相關的事，就很容易激動。”
杜元哲了然。
又是一個不太正常的導演。
這麽看下來，王立剛竟然是最正常的。
在朱彌的催促下，兩人很快簽了合同，朱彌對杜元哲很滿意，片酬直接按照二線明星的标準來給。
在走之前，朱彌道：“元哲，諜戰劇少不了武戲和爆破戲，你進組時記得多備些治跌打損傷活血化瘀的藥。”
杜元哲和劉旭一同送走朱彌，道：“他特意在簽了合同後才說這件事，是不是怕我反悔？”
劉旭深以為然：“估計是。”
杜元哲道：“我既然接了這部戲，自然有心理準備，演員演戲哪有不受傷的。”
......
Du Yuanzhe couldn't hide the fact that he had signed a new play from Xia Ningmi. When Xia Ningmi came back at night, he asked again, "I joined the crew in the second year of junior high school. Has the new variety show been confirmed? I can ask for leave from the crew in advance."
This time Du Yuanzhe went to rescue the crew. Other people's scenes had already been filmed halfway. He would definitely be very busy after joining the crew and had to ask for leave in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange the filming tasks.
Xia Ning said: "You don't have to participate in the variety show."
Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "What?"
"The new variety show takes three days to shoot. Do you think Zhu Mi will give you leave?"
Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "Impossible, it would be nice to be given a day off. In that case, I won't worry about it anymore."
Xia Ning asked him, "Where is the new drama being filmed?"
Du Yuanzhe said, "It's at the Yancheng Film and Television Base. The Lihua Lake Apartment is not too far away. I have already told the director that I will go back home to live there."
The author has something to say:
