Chapter 17

The secretary thought he understood Gao Bochong's subtext, but Gao Bochong suddenly said, "Call Qin Lu over."
Here it comes! It’s time to strike a blow and scare the tiger!
It seems that there will be another personnel crisis at Dingyu!
The secretary was cheered up and immediately contacted Dingyu CEO Qin Lu.
Qin Lu arrived quickly, but he looked a little unwell. Gao Bochong asked him, "Did you draft this contract?"
Qin Lu said, "Yes, Mr. Gao. You said you wanted an S+ contract, so we compared it with the terms we signed with Mei Linlin and Chang Hao. Is there anything inappropriate?"
Mei Linlin and Chang Hao both became famous at a young age. Now they are at the peak of their careers as movie stars and have a very high status in the industry. To be able to be on par with them, the treatment is self-evident.
Gao Bochong remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. Qin Lu glanced at his secretary, who kept her eyes downcast, not daring to offer any hints. Qin Lu grew increasingly anxious, thinking he had done something wrong. Serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, when he heard Gao Bochong say, "Are you planning on filming two S+ idol dramas next year?"
Qin Lu said hurriedly: "Yes, these are all good copyrights that the company has obtained, and they are very popular..."
Gao Bochong said coldly, "Only idol dramas? Nothing else?"
Qin Lu: “…Ah?”
What does Mr. Gao mean by this?
Gao Bochong said, "Take it and revise it... Never mind, just give me the script first."
Qin Lu responded blankly, not understanding why Gao Bo Chong had to personally review even such a small matter.
Gao Bo Chong was thinking, idol dramas are nothing more than men and women talking about love. Since they are talking about love, there must be a lot of kissing scenes, right?
He was not in a good mood when he thought about Wang Zhi kissing someone else.
Of course, it wasn’t because he was jealous of Wang Zhi kissing someone else, but... it was because Wang Zhi was about to get engaged to Gao Fengming, so he was considered a married man.
But there is no such thing as being unable to shoot kissing scenes just because you are married.
…
Gao Bochong pinched his eyebrows, unable to find a reasonable reason for a moment, and naturally stopped Wang Zhi from filming the kissing scene.
Gao Bochong put the script down heavily, not knowing who he was angry with. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Lu looking as if he was about to say something but hesitated. Gao Bochong glanced at him and asked, "Didn't you sleep well?"
Qin Lu smiled bitterly: "Not bad."
Gao Bochong asked, "Is there something you want to say?"
Qin Lu seemed to struggle, and just as he was about to speak, the phone rang, and the assistant from the CEO's office asked, "Boss Gao, Young Master Feng Ming is here and wants to see you."
There was a burst of noise coming from the phone, and Gao Fengming could be vaguely heard shouting, "How dare you stop me! I want to see my brother!"
Gao Bochong: ...
Gao Bochong said coldly: "Let him in."
Two minutes later, Gao Fengming's footsteps were heard from outside the door. He pushed the door open heavily and said angrily, "Brother! I really can't stand Qin Lu anymore! He's targeting me!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Qin Lu looking at him with dead eyes.
Gao Fengming: ...
Qin Lu: ...
Gao Fengming's mouth twitched. He had never expected to accuse someone of something in front of him. Even with Gao Fengming's dominance, he felt a little embarrassed. "Boss Qin, why are you here?"
Qin Lu said calmly, "Boss Gao wants to talk to me about something."
Gao Fengming groaned, "Then I'll come back later."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Gao Bochong shouted sternly, "Get back here!"
Gao Fengming turned around and stood still. Gao Bochong said, "Apologize."
Gao Fengming looked listless and said obediently, "Boss Qin, I'm sorry. I just acted on impulse."
Qin Lu had long been accustomed to Gao Fengming's style and did not take his words to heart. He even guessed why he came, so he hurried to leave: "Then Mr. Gao, I will go back first."
Gao Bochong said, "No need. Since he's here to complain, let's hear what he has to say."
Gao Fengming was a little hesitant to speak, but under Gao Bochong's gaze, he finally spoke: "...He replaced the large screen in the Genesis Building without my permission."
Gao Bochong laughed: "Without your permission? Who do you think you are?"
Gao Fengming's hair stood on end at his laughter. The big man, over 1.8 meters tall, stood there and wished he could shrink himself.
Gao Bochong stopped looking at him. The secretary beside him handed him a tablet, which showed the new poster on the big screen of Genesis Building.
Surrounded by countless lilies, a man in snow-white sat in front of the piano, quietly playing music.
His hair color is extremely light, almost silver-white under strong light. He has a high nose and deep eyes, giving him a strong sense of mixed-race. Next to him are large cursive characters that read "Jiang Xubai's first stop in China after his world piano tour."
When the first drop of rain fell, the 118-meter-high landmark screen of the Genesis Building flickered gently, changing from a pink movie poster to a black and white piano tour poster.
In the gray urban jungle, everyone is in a hurry.
Wang Zhi came out of the convenience store holding an umbrella, unwrapped the rice ball, and looked up at the poster casually.
The poster was enormous, and from a distance it looked like a mirage amidst the buildings. Wang Zhi saw the words "Jiang Xubai" and felt they looked familiar.
Pianist?
Such elegance, he must have no connection with me.
Wang Zhi was lost in thought when someone passed by and bumped into him. The umbrella in his hand swayed, and raindrops fell along the ribs, soaking the other person's clothes. Wang Zhi subconsciously said, "Excuse me."
Think about it, it's not right.
You were just standing there without moving, why should you apologize when someone bumped into you?
Wang Zhi looked over angrily. The man opposite him was very tall, and because he was thin, his height was even greater. His shoulders were very broad, and even under the windbreaker he wore, he could still see that he was a bit emaciated. He was wearing sunglasses on his face and holding a cane in his hand. He seemed to notice Wang Zhi's gaze and said in a gentle voice: "Sorry, I didn't hear you in the rain."
……blind?
Wang Zhi quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay."
The man smiled slightly. He had very light hair, but big hands and long fingers. He avoided Wang Zhi and continued walking forward.
Under his feet, the orange blind path extended forward, exactly the same color as the one under Wang Zhi's feet.
No wonder he bumped into himself, it turned out that he was standing on the blind path!
I really deserve to die!
Wang Zhi finally realized what was going on and felt extremely guilty. Seeing that he didn't have an umbrella, he ran over and stuffed the umbrella into his empty hand: "I'm so sorry."
The man was frightened by him, and before he could refuse, Wang Zhi had already run away.
Amidst the gray sky, the ever-fading electronic lilies found immortality on a levitating screen. Wang Zhi, dressed in a pinstriped linen shirt and off-white trousers, resembled a vibrant, fresh flower. Handing the umbrella, their fingers brushed against each other, exchanging a subtle coolness, a touch and a separation in the humid, muggy summer rain.
The man stopped and heard the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella. In his very dim vision, Wang Zhi's color was particularly clear.
A car stopped beside him, and his agent jumped out: "Xu Bai, why did you run out alone?"
Jiang Xubai smiled but didn't answer. After getting in the car, he folded his umbrella one by one, letting the raindrops on the umbrella wet his fingertips that were playing on the black and white piano keys.
-
Wang Zhi didn't know that he had passed by the pianist. After giving the umbrella to Jiang Xubai, he finally felt less guilty.
The crew's filming was completely finished yesterday, and there's a wrap party tonight, and I heard some big shots are coming to attend. Wang Zhi glanced at the gossip in the group chat and then put it aside because he had more important things to do.
This TV series is the one with the largest investment that Wang Zhi has ever participated in, and the actors who play opposite him are also the most famous. Wang Zhi learned a lot from them, and also clearly felt the shortcomings of his own acting skills.
Although Wang Zhi did not have the dream of becoming a movie emperor and was not from a professional background, he still had the image of being a good student since childhood. At least his performance could not be too different from other actors.
So he took advantage of the break after filming this movie to sign himself up for an acting training class.
It's a bit expensive, but luckily the salary has increased...
Wow, but it still hurts when I sign up.
Wang Zhi felt a little bit apprehensive when he got on the elevator, but when he saw the teacher, he put on a smile and said, "Teacher Han, I'm here."
Teacher Han is an old professor at the Capital Film Academy. He teaches classes in his spare time. If Wang Zhi hadn't been popular, he would never have found this opportunity.
Her white hair was fluffy and elegant. She smiled at Wang Zhi and said, "Why are you wet?"
Wang Zhi smiled and said, "I gave the umbrella to someone else."
He had bright eyes and a tall and slender figure, like a wet deer. His hair was wet from the rain and hung down on his cheeks, covering a little of his beautiful features.
Teacher Han suddenly raised his hand and pushed his bangs back, revealing his smooth forehead and clear black and white eyes.
Teacher Han said with satisfaction, "This is much better. Xiao Wang, you really should find a professional stylist to design it for you."
That's expensive.
Wang Zhi had consulted before and politely left after hearing the price.
Hearing what Teacher Han said, Wang Zhi couldn't help but complain: "I'm just a small actor, so I don't need it."
Teacher Han was amused by him: "Don't you want to be famous?"
"I do..." Wang Zhi was a little vague, "But actors and stars are different, right?"
"That was in the past. If you want to be a good actor now, you also have to learn to be a star. Otherwise, why would others give you resources?"
Wang Zhi admitted his mistake and said, "I'll go find him when I get my paycheck."
His money... before it even warms up, it's gone away from him again qaq
So the entertainment industry seems to make a lot of money, but there are also many places to spend money. Even a small actor like Wang Zhi has to buy a few dresses to show off.
Respect the clothes first and then the person, this is the most irrefutable truth in the entertainment industry.
Fortunately, he has a low status and has few opportunities to attend big events. For most occasions, it is reasonable for him to buy a few light luxury mix-and-match fashionable fast-moving consumer goods.
But those clothes can only appear once!
Every time Wang Zhi thought about it, he felt like he was suffocating.
In order not to waste every penny he spent, Wang Zhi took the acting class extremely seriously. After class, he was full of energy and ran to the gym to sweat. He felt that his whole body was full of the energy to spend money and suffer.
The cell phone suddenly rang. Wang Zhi immediately stopped the treadmill, picked up the phone with peace of mind, took a look and frowned.
Why did Gao Fengming suddenly look for him?
