Chapter 195 The smell of the box
Xu Leyan's work efficiency is not low, especially when the opportunity for a change of fortune is right in front of him. People in his line of work sometimes just need some opportunities. Now that the opportunity has come to him, he naturally has to find ways to seize it.
He didn't care where the leading actors of "Evil" were at the moment. He immediately called and sent messages to them one by one to find them. Those who lived nearby were still easy to deal with, but for those who lived far away, he transferred money on the spot to let them buy plane tickets or take a bus to come over.
It was at this time that he discovered Lin Youxin's affairs. He sighed but had no time to feel more emotional. He could only try his best to gather other people together, hoping that the rich second-generation dude would not give up the idea of investing because of this.
He was lucky because the main actors were not big names and were not very busy, so they were able to make it to the event.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, in a private room of an elegant restaurant.
Xu Leyan arrived early, and the remaining three leading actors also hurried to the scene. These three people, two women and one man, all looked carefully dressed and looked glamorous and beautiful.
Seeing that the investor hadn't arrived yet, the girl with short hair, Liu Yue, who played a couple with Lin Youxin in the film, spoke first, with an expression that seemed to be hesitant to speak: "Director Xu, have you seen what happened with Youxin? That thing looks really weird... Could it be related to the movie we're making?"
Liu Yue's life was going relatively smoothly during this period, and nothing happened. But on rare occasions, he would feel as if he was being watched from behind. But every time, she tossed and turned and didn't find any trace of anyone at the place, and gradually she felt that she was overthinking.
Logically speaking, Liu Yue shouldn't have spoken to the director like that, but she is a straightforward person and can't hide anything from her mouth or heart. Otherwise, with her beautiful and youthful looks, it would be impossible for her to still be at her current level.
Xu Leyan was actually wondering in his heart, but when he heard what Liu Yue said, his face drooped on the spot: "Don't talk nonsense, our filming of the movie is going well, nothing has happened, and the movie hasn't even been released yet, what can go wrong!"
He also hoped that the film would perform a little better so that his future career would be smoother.
Even if they are just directors of online movies, they can be ranked high and low.
The investment amount also varies.
Xue Yu, another girl with long curly hair, big eyes, and a beautiful and charming face, smiled slightly: "Sister Yue, you are just thinking too much. It has been a long time since we finished shooting that film. How could something go wrong only happen now? Director Xu, I won't hide it from you. I recently got a new boyfriend. He is very happy to spend money on me. He also said that he would spend money to get me resources. If you can't give me this amount for this film today, I will not participate in the next filming."
The remaining male actor had an iceberg character and didn't say a word the whole time, and the others had long been used to it.
This is a rare phenomenon in the entertainment industry where a character is completely consistent with the original person.
Liu Yue was still worried: "I saw on the Internet that Youxin's body looked like it had been rotting for a long time... Those pictures don't look like they were photoshopped. If I remember correctly, the sorcery segment that Youxin played was related to resurrection from the dead, right?"
Xue Yu said: "Then what I filmed was about getting rich by luck, but I didn't see myself getting rich..."
Liu Yue: "Didn't you just say that your boyfriend is willing to spend money on you?"
"It's his business if he wants to spend money on me. How can this be considered borrowing my luck?" Xue Yu frowned in dissatisfaction, and then glanced up and down at Liu Yue, "If I remember correctly, Sister Yue, you filmed the content of using corpse oil to raise ghost fetuses and praying for Buddha amulets, right? Have you seen ghost fetuses during this period?"
After hearing what she said, Liu Yue immediately thought of the prying gaze, but if it really fell on her, she felt that it would not happen. After all, she had not had any good luck during this period of time and was still the same.
If this is the state after the turn of events, then the business ability of the ghost fetus is very poor and it would be difficult to achieve the KPI.
The two of them couldn't come to a conclusion, so they looked up at the cold man Ren An and asked, "How have you been lately?"
Ren An didn't even raise his head: "Same old."
Liu Yue immediately said, "Then Lin Youxin's matter has nothing to do with the film. Otherwise, if something happened, we would have been in trouble a long time ago."
After listening to their quarrel, Xu Leyan felt that these people were still the same after such a long time, and they really hadn't made any progress. He pressed his throbbing temples in embarrassment, and then said, "Don't think too much, the main thing is the present. When the investors come, you should all be polite. That's the Lin family's film and television investment company. The company's investment vision has always been unique. Although it's not the person in charge who is optimistic about us this time, he is really surnamed Lin. You can't have a good relationship with him without your help."
After hearing what Xu Leyan said, the three of them quieted down and waited obediently.
The box fell silent, no one spoke, everyone was playing with their phones, Xu Leyan was no exception, he replied to a few messages from his wife, just finished, he saw a new push, it said that Lin Youxin jumped off the building incident very detailed, also said that the scene stinks, as if it had been rotten for many days.
This was not the first time Xu Leyan had seen similar descriptions. He had seen quite a few of them when he was in the car.
But this time, even though it was a similar description, he always felt it was particularly close to life and he could relate to it, as if the stench really made him feel like he was in it as described.
Thinking of this, Xu Leyan sniffed, trying to inhale the delicate scent of gardenia that filled the elegant box into his nostrils to ease his mood.
What entered my nose was indeed the elegant fragrance of gardenia, but... it was also mixed with the smell of rotting meat.
What’s that smell…is it because the cleaning staff didn’t clean it thoroughly?
He didn't smell it much when he came in, but now it was becoming clearer and clearer, as if it had a probe and was drilling into his nasal cavity, making him feel nauseous and a little vomiting.
Tsk, it’s such a big store, but they don’t even clean the private rooms.
Xu Leyan thought so and called the waitress who was waiting at the side. He was too lazy to argue any more, fearing that he might bump into the investor when he started arguing, which would be bad. He just asked, "Are there any other empty boxes? I want to change to another box."
The waitress asked, "Excuse me, are you dissatisfied with our box?"
“The fragrance is too strong.”
The waiter apologized and took Xu Leyan to a new private room. When entering, he asked other colleagues to take away the fragrance in advance and turn on the fresh air circulation system.
"Do you think this one is okay?" The waiter had a gentle smile on his face and spoke in a respectful tone.
Xu Leyan sniffed at the door and found the smell quite light, not smelling bad, so he said, "Let's take this one. Please tell the front desk that we have changed the room. Don't take my guests to the wrong place."
"certainly."
The group of four sat down again in the new box, drinking the Longjing tea and waiting quietly.
But at some point, the foul smell slowly spread throughout the room again.
