One hundred and twenty-seven, Geng Le
"Teacher Guan Miao, have you been reading the script recently?"
Hearing his address, Guan Miao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you suddenly calling me so polite?"
Then she answered his question, "I'm still reading the script, but don't worry, my schedule for the next three months is open for you. How are the preparations going on your side? When can we sign the contract?"
Guan Miao's words undoubtedly made Geng Le, who was already feeling guilty, feel even more guilty. People listened to you and cleared their schedule, but now you want to stand them up.
Geng Le, how did you become like this now?
Guan Miao originally thought that since she asked this question, Geng Le would definitely give her an answer as soon as possible.
The only response she got was silence, endless silence.
In this silence, she felt a little more uneasy, and even her tone of voice became much softer. "Geng Le, does your silence mean that we can't sign the contract?"
She was answered with silence.
"Geng Le, I hope you can tell me the answer yourself. Will I be unable to appear in the second season of 'Emergency Talent'?"
Guan Miao made his point so clearly that Geng Le could no longer pretend to be stupid.
"Teacher Guan Miao, I'm really sorry, you can't act in the second part."
I can’t act anymore, I can’t act anymore…
These five words circled in Guan Miao's mind like a spell. She suppressed her emotions and asked calmly, "Reason, give me a normal and reasonable reason. A month ago you said you wanted to work with me. We had a very smooth chat at that time, and you know my acting skills, and I haven't regressed now.
I want to know what reason could make you abandon me."
After saying that, Guan Miao glanced at An Jing beside him and signaled her to contact Chai Yue. "Help me find out what Geng Le has encountered recently. Let's start with his company."
"good."
After hearing the word "abandoned," Geng Le felt a surge of guilt. He covered his head with his hands and said in pain, "I'm sorry, Teacher Guan Miao. There's no reason. I just personally feel that you're no longer suitable for the second season."
Hearing the pain in his tone, Guan Miao guessed that he didn't really mean to reject her performance.
"Geng Le, you should be able to sense that there is someone behind me. If you have any unspeakable secrets, tell me. I can help you."
"No, no, no," Geng Le refused repeatedly, his tone as if he had seen a ghost. "I don't have any unspeakable secrets, but I personally feel that you don't need to lower your status to star in my little web drama.
Both of your films are so successful, you can definitely continue to stay in the film industry. There's no need to come to our small web series and compete with other actors for jobs."
When Guan Miao heard the last three words, he was stunned. He seemed to have never thought that such words would come out of Geng Le's mouth one day. "Rob, rob my job? Geng Le, do you know that this one sentence of yours can wipe out all our previous friendship.
Since you've decided, I won't mention the contract again. As for your claim that I'm stealing your job, I'll do it for you."
After saying that, Guan Miao hung up the phone. Her face was still calm, but An Jing, who had spent the longest time with her, could see that the little volcano hidden in her heart was about to erupt.
I have to say that Geng Le is really amazing. He can actually make Miaomiao so angry. She has been with Miaomiao for so long, but this is the first time she has seen her so angry.
Guan Miao took a deep breath and tried to maintain his composure. "An Jing, let's go home first. We can talk about it when we get home."
"good."
After the call was hung up, Geng Le sat in the same position, motionless, like a statue, looking at the scenery outside the window with melancholy.
Xia Ping also felt the solemn atmosphere in the room when he pushed the door open. He walked over to Geng Le and asked, "Have you explained everything to Teacher Guan?"
"Let me be clear, I think she might never see us again in her life."
"Actually, we can really ask Teacher Guan for help. Doesn't she have someone behind her..."
Geng Le interrupted her before she could finish her words, "She's an actress, no matter how much her sponsor dotes on her, they won't allow her to have a falling out with the CEO of a company.
Besides, she is an actress, and her works are all broadcast on major online platforms. Why should they offend the Orange platform with the highest daily active users because of us?
Who are we? After all, we just cooperated with others once and are just ordinary friends.
The most important thing is that when someone helps us in our most difficult time, we must never repay their kindness with hatred! "
"Even if it means you'll quit the entertainment industry?" Xia Ping turned around and asked.
"Of course!" Geng Le answered without hesitation, "It's a matter of conscience."
After these words were spoken, silence returned to the room. After a while, Geng Le spoke again, "What about you? What are you going to do next?"
"Me?" Xia Ping smiled easily. "You were the one who lured me into the entertainment industry. Now that you've decided to leave, I naturally have no reason to stay."
"Really?" Geng Le was a little surprised. "I heard the company offered you very good conditions to keep you. Are you really willing to leave with me and live the life of an ordinary worker?"
Xia Ping patted his head in annoyance. "None of the people in the company could understand my script. I can't even imagine what kind of nonsense those idiots will turn my hard work into."
Geng Le listened to his words, and the depression in his heart finally dissipated a little. "Okay, then let's go back and prepare. Fortunately, the house is ours now, otherwise I'm afraid we would be living on the streets."
"If that's the case, you'll just have to live on the streets alone. I'm the one who's going to stay in a hotel."
"Boss, I'm hungry, give me a hug."
"roll."
The atmosphere on their side was warm. After returning home, Guan Miao was still anxiously waiting for news from Chai Yue and didn't even bother to reply to Deng Ling's message.
"I found out that Geng Le's company recently received a new investment of around 2 billion yuan from a financial investment company.
The other party's joining caused a shakeup in the senior management, which only finally subsided last week. After the senior management stabilized, they began to review the scripts that the company would start filming this year.
I heard that a director of an investment company took a fancy to Xia Ping's drama. As you know, when capital came into play, changing actors was a small matter. If they went a little too far, they would even change the director.
I think Geng Le wants to keep his directorial rights more than the actors. As long as he is still on the crew, there is still a chance to salvage some of the plot."
After hearing the whole story, Guan Miao put down his cup and asked, "Changing investors is impossible. What if I redeem Geng Le and Xia Ping?"
"Redeem?" Everyone present was shocked. "You're going to pay their termination fee?"
She nodded. "I've made a bit of money acting these past three years. Paying the penalty shouldn't be too hard, right?"
Chi Yi was puzzled, "Miaomiao, do you like this drama so much?"
"I like it very much, and Geng Le's directing skills are really good. It won't do us any harm to recruit him."
Since Guan Miao had made up his mind, Chi Yi and the others naturally had no reason to refuse. "Okay, I'll find you a reliable lawyer and see if I can help you reduce the penalty for breach of contract."
"Then I'll trouble Sister Chi."
