Shen Huai later learned about the incident from Chu Meibo, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This was something he hadn't considered carefully. He had thought that although Shen Heng was sharp, he was trustworthy, and he was present when they met, so Shen Heng would never embarrass his friend.

Who would have thought that there would be an emergency, and he was delayed in the company for a while. When he came back, both parties had already met and talked.

He never expected that this room full of big men would eventually fall down in front of a bottle of red wine.

Chu Meibo believed in Shen Huai. Since Shen Huai said that Shen Heng could be trusted, she would no longer doubt Shen Heng, but she was still a little depressed.

Pei Ran frowned slightly, rarely revealing a trace of unwillingness: "I can drink, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Meibo glanced at him: "The law stipulates that minors cannot drink."

Pei Ran: "..."

This is the second time he has bowed down to Chinese law.

At this time, Song Yimian came over: "I called Mr. Guo's assistant, and he said he would come to answer it."

Shen Huai nodded: "Then you go back first, I'll wait here for his assistant to come."

Seeing this, Chu Meibo and Pei Ran stopped talking, said hello to Song Yimian and went back, but after they left, Song Yimian did not leave.

He hesitated for a moment before finally summoning up the courage to walk up to Shen Huai: "Brother Shen, I have something to tell you."

When they were having dinner, Shen Huai noticed that Song Yimian seemed to be worried, but he didn't know what to ask in that situation, so he delayed it until now. Even if Song Yimian didn't look for him, he would ask Song Yimian to clarify.

He smiled gently, led Song Yimian to sit at the bar, brewed two more cups of coffee, pushed one in front of Song Yimian, and then said casually: "I heard from Kefei that several dramas have asked you to audition recently?"

Peng Kefei is Shen Huai's assistant agent. Because Shen Huai gradually shifted his focus to the Yixing Film and Television Studio, he certainly couldn't take care of everything for Song Yimian and others as before. So he hired an assistant agent, and some small things were done by the assistant agent, but the main direction was still controlled by Shen Huai.

Song Yimian nodded and whispered: "Yes, Sister Ke Fei said that she received a lot of scripts, and she selected a few scripts, all of which are very good..."

Shen Huai did not speak, but motioned him to continue.

Song Yimian pursed his lips and rubbed the coffee cup again. The endless heat passed from the cup to his palm, and it seemed to pass from his palm to his heart.

A year ago, he was just a small actor who had no plays to perform and could be expelled from this circle at any time. A year later, he not only participated in "Red Actress", but also got a lot of male lead roles, which he had never dared to think about before.

And all of this was brought to him by Shen Huai.

When he was desperate, it was Shen Huai who brought him out of the abyss. Later, it was Shen Huai who kept giving him opportunities, teaching him, and cultivating him, so that he has what he has today.

Logically, he should cherish this hard-won opportunity, act seriously, and be obedient, so as to repay Shen Huai's kindness.

However, everything he has experienced in the "Red Actress" crew during this period of time is like a baptism, washing his mind and making the future path in his mind gradually clear.

It's just that this path goes against the plan given to him by the company. Song Yimian was anxious and self-blaming. He hesitated for a long time in his heart until he saw the contract and suddenly remembered what Shen Huai said to him when he signed the contract.

Shen Huai said that he signed a contract with him because he saw the potential in him and believed that he would become an excellent actor.

Shen Huai also said that they were in a cooperative relationship and were equal.

These words gave Song Yimian the confidence to move on and also made him determined to tell Shen Huai his true thoughts.

He raised his head and looked at Shen Huai, who had the same smile on his face as always, full of tolerance and encouragement.

Song Yimian calmed down and said indifferently: "Brother Shen, the scripts that Sister Ke Fei picked are all very good, but I don't think they are suitable for me. I want... I want to try a movie like "Scissors". Also, I don't want to appear in front of the camera too much outside the play. I also want to gradually reduce the number of fan meetings and business activities in the future..."

Song Yimian finished speaking in one breath, then lowered his head, his face full of shame, and he didn't dare to look at Shen Huai.

Shen Huai didn't notice the latter sentence, but he was still very surprised when he heard the former. "Scissors" is a very controversial art film this year. Not only is it very explicit, but it also depicts the dark side of human nature in a way that is so real and ugly that it makes people uncomfortable.

The actor who plays the male lead is about the same age as Song Yimian, but he has won unanimous praise from the industry for his superb acting skills and vivid portrayal of the character.

Shen Huai never thought that someone as simple as Song Yimian would have such an idea.

But he did not refuse directly, but asked seriously: "Can I ask the reason? That is, why do you want to act in a movie like "Scissors"? "

Song Yimian was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Shen Huai neither blamed him for reducing his chances of making money nor said that he was fanciful. Instead, he patiently asked him the reason.

Song Yimian's heart became sour and soft.

His tense heart relaxed a lot. He calmed down and said, "I used to think that good acting means that the director can cry and everything in the script can be perfectly displayed. But this time in the crew, I saw the acting skills of Mei Jie and Guo Zong, as well as Wei Ge and many other seniors. It's not that they don't have such ability, but they made me see that a good actor brings the character to life. He doesn't cry because the script requires him to cry, but because the character is crying."

"I remember one time I accidentally heard Mr. Guo and Meijie chatting. Mr. Guo said that you have to forget yourself, you have to respect your role, treat yourself as that person, personally feel his joys and sorrows, experience his life, and engrave his pain into your bones, then you can play him well."

Song Yimian smiled bitterly: "These words are like a clock that hits my head hard, making me start thinking, I want to be an actor like Meijie and Mr. Guo. But I know that I lack not only talent, but also the ability to feel pain. I can't make up for the former, but I want to try to see the latter."

After listening, Shen Huai fell into silence.

He understood Song Yimian's pursuit. A person who wants to be a good actor will never let himself indulge in idol dramas with simple and bright plots but too thin characters. They will take the initiative to challenge more complex characters and go through the necessary training to become a real actor.

This is also the reason why Shen Huai asked Song Yimian to stay in the "Red Actress" crew for so long. He not only wanted Song Yimian to learn acting skills from his predecessors, but more importantly, he hoped that Song Yimian could learn their attitude towards acting from these predecessors. This is the greatest wealth for his future as an actor.

But Shen Huai did not expect that Song Yimian would go further than he imagined.

He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke before Song Yimian became uneasy.

"I'm glad you said that." Shen Huai showed an appreciative smile, "The study in the past six months has not been in vain, you have learned the most important things."

Song Yimian was stunned, and his originally pale cheeks slowly flushed with surprise.

However, Shen Huai continued, "But I also want to remind you that this road is very dangerous. Many actors have been unable to get out of the role after falling into it, which eventually led to tragedy. I hope you can be a good actor, but I don't want you to be in danger."

Song Yimian nodded vigorously, revealing a brilliant smile: "Brother Shen, don't worry! I will be careful!"

Shen Huai watched Song Yimian leave, and sighed with relief and worry.

-

When Lao Guo's assistant arrived, Shen Huai and he worked together to send Lao Guo to the car, and then went upstairs to see Ye Cang who was also drunk.

But he didn't expect that before he walked to the door, he saw Shen Heng walking out of the room. He looked refreshed, without a trace of alcohol on his face.

Shen Huai opened his mouth and called out "Uncle".

Shen Heng's eyes fell on the door, with a smile on his lips: "Are you worried?"

Shen Huai hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Shen Heng chuckled and said, "His drinking capacity is a good match for you."

Shen Huai: "..."

Shen Heng patted his shoulder: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, go see him."

Shen Heng said, and walked downstairs.

However, Shen Huai stopped him. He looked at Shen Heng and whispered, "They didn't mean it today, - I'm sorry."

Shen Heng understood why he was apologizing, and said with a smile, "I understand. Everyone has secrets. I respect them. You don't have to explain anything to me."

Shen Huai was not surprised that Shen Heng said that, but still couldn't help but said, "Uncle, I..."

However, Shen Heng waved his hand to stop him, "I know what you want to say, Ah Huai, there should be space between relatives. I worry about you, but it doesn't mean I want to control you. You have your life and your secrets. You don't need to tell me."

"I respect outsiders and I respect my relatives as well."

Shen Huai was silent. He felt like his heart was blocked by a ball of cotton and was full.

Shen Heng patted his shoulder: "Okay, don't worry, do whatever you want to do, if anything happens, your uncle will take care of it for you."

Shen Huai had already calmed down, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but make a joke: "Since I was a child, my uncle always told me that it was not easy for me not to grow up to be a second-generation rich man."

Shen Heng was surprised: "You are joking now?"

Shen Huai: "... In your heart, have I always been an old-fashioned person?"

Shen Heng laughed.

Shen Huai couldn't help laughing too.

Shen Heng looked at Shen Huai's relaxed expression, and the worries in his heart finally dissipated. He said seriously: "Although I still have many dissatisfactions with Ye Cang, but at least I can see that he cares about you. Since you have chosen him, just go on with it. As I said before, if there is anything, your uncle will take care of it for you."

Hearing this, Shen Huai vaguely felt something: "Uncle, are you leaving?"

Shen Heng said "Yeah": "Vacation is not always a good time. I can rest forever. Besides, the overseas affairs are almost settled, and I have to prepare to return home. "

Shen Huai was a little reluctant at first, but he was suddenly happy when he heard the second half of the sentence: "You are going to return home?!"

Shen Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, at most two months."

Shen Heng said, and thought of something, "By the way, tell your friend to drink together when I return home."

Shen Huai: "..."

Let's say goodbye, Lao Guo will cry.
