Day 38
Although the suspense of the 60th place was attractive, it was not as popular as "Fu Xunyan lost and won the second place", so it was unexpectedly completely ignored.
The four people competing for the 60th place were a little indignant about this, but since they were all unknown, they had to swallow their anger themselves.
In the end, Lan Yizhou was successfully selected with a 30-vote advantage and became the last contestant left in "New Century".
On Thursday, Fu Xunyan had to leave the base again to keep an appointment with the director.
Although the last magazine shoot complied with the program team's regulations, some fans protested, believing that such shoots were off-field factors that would interfere with the outcome of the competition.
These fans are not targeting Fu Xunyan, because he is always in the top three whether he has this filming or not. The ones who are really anxious are the fans of the trainees who are ranked in the upper middle level.
They have too many variables, so fans unanimously agree that these off-field factors should be banned.
The production team compromised, agreeing to reduce the trainees' outside activities and requiring that any outside activities they did have not be released during the competition. For example, if they were to shoot a magazine, the information would not be released and sold until after the competition.
Even without this new rule, very few trainees had the luxury of going out on missions. During this relatively free week, only Ye Lai, Fu Xunyan, Kenny, and Da Pei needed to go out.
Fu Xunyan didn't have to go to the appointment, but Ou Rui had already made arrangements. They told Fu Xunyan that the director had just shined at a foreign film festival. Even if it was not for personal resources, Ou Rui hoped that Fu Xunyan could maintain a good relationship with the director and bring new connections to the company.
Fu Xunyan had no choice but to agree.
Li Pengcheng came to pick him up again and took him to Ou Rui's beauty salon to change his clothes and wash off all his makeup. The film and television director needs an original and pure face to observe the plasticity.
Fu Xunyan let them do whatever they wanted.
The weather is not cold this season, so the stylist gave her a white shirt and black suit pants, both of which are classic styles, to ensure that she looks formal and does not go wrong.
Cong He called before leaving.
"Just relax during this meeting. Actually, this director isn't my friend. He was introduced to me by another director I know. I heard he admires you, so I agreed to be my matchmaker."
"If it's not suitable, just reject it directly. Don't bother saving my face."
"Why do you suddenly say that?" Fu Xunyan frowned slightly.
If nothing unexpected happened, Cong He wouldn't have called to say this.
Cong He was silent for two seconds, gritting his teeth, "I just found out that he's a homosexual."
Being gay is not scary. Cong He respects everyone's sexual orientation and there are homosexuals among his friends.
But the question is, is the "appreciation" that this director mentioned out of appreciation for the malleable talent, or appreciation that wants to get involved? It is worth asking.
If it was the latter, and they didn't explain it clearly to him as the middleman, Cong He felt that he was being maliciously used.
"I understand. I'll take care of it." Fu Xunyan held the phone tightly and answered calmly after a while.
The director's appointment was at a private restaurant, which was already unsettling enough. Although the restaurant was decent, someone close to the director sent Li Pengcheng away. Before leaving, Li Pengcheng gave Fu Xunyan a look.
He believed Fu Xunyan would make the best decision.
A handsome young man stood at the door. Unlike the average trainee, he wore only a necklace. His expression was calm, as if he had no idea what he was about to face.
But it is precisely because of this that it is particularly strange.
He is an alienating rain curtain, separating the quiet and noise of this world. On the side facing the light, there is hustle and bustle of traffic, while behind the rain curtain there is only hot and humid silence.
You must grow after every experience, otherwise how can you justify the repression and pain you once suffered?
Crunch——
"Hello."
The person standing inside the door turned around and smiled.
"I'm Gu Tingchuan, nice to meet you."
"Fu Xunyan."
Fu Xunyan replied calmly. He didn't care much about the resources in Gu Tingchuan's hands. When there were no interests to restrain him, people would become so confident.
Gu Tingchuan didn't mind Fu Xunyan's indifference. He politely asked Fu Xunyan to sit down, his hands still busy making tea.
The young director with his back to him is very talented. He is of Chinese descent. His previous generation immigrated abroad a long time ago and is also a well-known literary and artistic practitioner.
The influence of the family atmosphere and his natural talent enabled this director to win a new director trophy at a foreign film festival at the age of 30.
He is of medium height, good-looking, and has an elegant temperament, so in the eyes of ordinary people he is already a very good young talent.
"Tea, please."
"OK."
Although he responded, Fu Xunyan didn't really drink it. He rubbed the edge of the cup a few times.
This cup of tea was not brewed in front of him, so he would not drink it anyway.
"Thank you very much for meeting with Director Gu today. I heard Brother Cong talk about you. First of all, I want to congratulate you on your brilliant performance at the film festival. It's a pity that I'm still at the base and can't watch your film."
Gu Tingchuan's eyes were originally on the cup of tea, but after Fu Xunyan's words, his attention was diverted.
He smiled casually, "It's okay, I can send you a copy later."
"By the way, I hope you can forgive me for asking you out today." Gu Tingchuan drank his tea and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
"I happened to see your performance when I was abroad. I already really like the song 'Wind, Another Night of Rain', and your arrangement gave it new life, which really touched me."
"And you performed great on stage." Gu Tingchuan's eyes were no longer so formal. He looked from the top of Fu Xunyan's head all the way down and stayed on his collar for a long time.
Gu Tingchuan is obsessed with the collarbone of his lovers, and all of his past lovers had exquisite collarbones.
After only meeting for five minutes, Gu Tingchuan clearly felt the attractive charm of this young man, which was even more attractive than what he saw on the screen.
Like a black hole, a whirlpool, full of mystery.
If I had to describe it, he was like a summer rainstorm: hot and humid, the sky gloomy and the clouds low and frightening. The emerald greenery was shrouded in shadow, and at this moment, he came down without mercy, striking hard at the heart, bringing a mesmerizing pain.
This is what Gu Tingchuan perceived as Fu Xunyan.
Of course he knew that Fu Xunyan had more than one kind of temperament, after all, that show had already fully demonstrated it.
He is like a red flower blooming in the cracks of a rock, like clear spring water dripping from a crystal, like a new leaf secretly growing on a branch in spring, like a star twinkling alone in the night...
But in this, quietness is his underlying color, so quiet that he is isolated from the crowd and outside the world.
It makes people want to grab it.
Gu Tingchuan was dazzled by this underlying feeling. This was the feeling he had been searching for, the embodiment of greed in his films, his life, and his world.
Gu Tingchuan didn't say anything, but the burning look in his eyes couldn't be ignored.
Very offensive.
But it also gave Fu Xunyan the upper hand.
Now it was Gu Tingchuan who asked something of him, not the other way around.
So he frowned and spoke bluntly, "Thank you for the compliment, Director, but I still want to know why you asked me out."
"After all, you know, the program is quite strict. I'm afraid I have to rush back."
Gu Tingchuan sensed Fu Xunyan's casualness and instantly became amused. He raised an eyebrow and couldn't deny that he was quite susceptible to this kind of trick - of course, the target had to be Fu Xunyan. He had never tolerated anyone treating him this way before, arrogant and cruel.
Gu Tingchuan went to the door and took a paper bag from the table. There was no trademark on it, only a flower painted on the lower right corner.
"This is for you, open it and take a look."
Fu Xunyan didn't take it, "Why are you giving me this?"
"Of course it's for you."
"Thank you for your kindness. I feel really bad for letting the director spend money on our first meeting. Please take it back."
Fu Xunyan's attitude was very firm. He had seen this symbol before in the previous week. The company's boss had given it to a client. The value varied depending on the specific item, but it was at least four figures.
Gu Tingchuan touched his cheek, the gentle expression slipping from his face. He looked at the young man opposite him, who still had no expression, and smiled for a while.
"You should accept it. This is not a simple gift."
"If you want to emphasize its value, then I think I know it very well. It is precisely because I know this that I ask you to take it back. After all, there is no reward without merit."
"That's not all." Gu Tingchuan pushed the gift towards Fu Xunyan again, "There's also a movie invitation."
"Cong He told you about my new movie, didn't he?"
"The total investment is 200 million yuan, and the show is scheduled to be released in the spring of next year. Casting will begin soon, and we can start filming just in time for your show to end."
"If your first official appearance is in a 200 million yuan blockbuster movie, I think it will be very helpful for your future career."
"Don't tell me you only want to be an idol and have no interest in crossovers. If you say that, you're too naive. Especially under the domestic industrial structure, being an idol is a short-lived career, isn't it?"
Gu Tingchuan talks a lot of nonsense... Fu Xunyan felt that his consciousness had long left his body and was floating in the air to avoid these "teachings" from damaging his ears.
The cold young man has now become extremely sharp, not as calm as he was on the show. He is like a rose with thorns, ready to pounce.
His eyes swept over, and because he was tall, even when he was sitting, he seemed to be looking down at him.
"A 200 million yuan investment, wow, it's a huge production."
Gu Tingchuan smiled.
"But I'm afraid I can't."
Gu Tingchuan was stunned, and then his face turned slightly red after being rejected.
However, the handsome young man continued to talk to himself, "I'm just an ordinary small-time traffic star. I have no capital and my acting skills are very raw. If I join your movie, I'm basically ruining it, right?"
Gu Tingchuan took a deep breath. He was not a patient person, but because Fu Xunyan's appearance suited his taste, he spoke to him in a friendly manner. He didn't expect that this kid was so tactless.
"So, you're rejecting me? Rejecting my movie and me?"
Fu Xunyan didn't want to make things so awkward, but after a conversation he had already figured out Gu Tingchuan's personality, and there was no turning back on this matter.
If he wants to protect himself, he has to offend Gu Tingchuan.
"Okay, okay." Gu Tingchuan suppressed his anger and shame.
"Your agent and company haven't taught you anything, have they? You don't know how to make it in this industry? Ha, you're just a poor kid from the countryside, how far do you think you can go?"
Why did he start making personal attacks? Fu Xunyan frowned as he watched the other person go crazy, not realizing that his calmness at the moment made people feel even more humiliated.
Gu Tingchuan was not an ordinary person after all. He smiled restrainedly twice, leaned back in his chair, and casually took out a cigarette and lit it.
"It seems that small profits can't attract you, so let's try another way."
"I have to remind you that before I was a director, I was a businessman."
"I think you're well aware that there are so many ways to ruin someone in the entertainment industry."
Yes, Fu Xunyan nodded in his heart.
It seems that this guy is determined to destroy it if he can't get it, and he is preparing to spread rumors about him.
How interesting...
