Chapter 1: Rebirth or Repeating the Same Mistakes
"Come to the company and sign the contract extension if you have time. I have so many artists under me that I don't have time to wait for you." The agent's sarcastic voice came from the receiver.
Before Ning Mingluo could react, the other party hung up the phone.
Looking at the hung up call, the dazed Ning Mingluo immediately came to his senses after seeing the time displayed on the phone.
He remembered that he was hanging on a wire on the set, but the equipment suddenly loosened and he fell without any protection.
He thought he was doomed.
But he didn't feel any pain at all, so what was going on now?
Ning Mingluo forced himself to calm down and glanced at his phone again. The black screen reflected his face. Compared to his face that had been much thinner due to wear and tear, his cheeks now still had a bit of baby fat.
Ning Mingluo sat on the sofa for a long time before he realized something: it seemed like he was reborn?
This speculation made Ning Mingluo unable to remain calm.
I quickly recalled what time it was.
Thinking of what the agent said just now, Ning Mingluo remembered that his contract seemed to be expiring and the company was urging him to sign a new contract.
This incident immediately made Ning Mingluo fall into the tragic memories of the past.
He started out as a child star, became an instant hit upon his debut, and won the title of Best Actor at the youngest age. With a series of halos surrounding him, he was signed by his current agency.
But in fact, the company only cares about his popularity and has no plans to train him further.
After taking advantage of his popularity, they would set him aside and only give him some minor roles as a symbol.
Because of family reasons and because he really loves acting, he did not give up these roles.
After becoming an adult, he has always been lukewarm in the circle.
It wasn't until the contract expired and the company renewed it that even more terrifying things happened.
The company sent him to train with new recruits in the name of honing his acting skills, but he didn't expect that these new recruits were actually "commodities" prepared by the company for anyone to choose from, to help the company gain benefits.
Thinking of what happened to him after signing the new contract, Ning Mingluo closed his eyes in pain.
Is it true that if I don't accept those unspoken rules, I really won't be able to stay in this circle?
He thought about terminating the contract, but the huge termination fee and his grandmother's illness made it impossible to wait.
In his previous life, his grandmother fell ill and he really needed money, so he renewed the contract, but he couldn't accept those disgusting things.
He had no films to film for a long time, and his grandmother eventually passed away.
grandmother?
Thinking of his grandmother, Ning Mingluo couldn't care about his rebirth and the company's affairs for a moment. Would he be able to see his grandmother again?
In the community park, an old lady with gray hair was lazily basking in the sun.
"grandmother!"
Hearing her grandson's voice, the old lady opened her eyes. Before she could react, her grandson had already crawled into her arms and hugged her tightly.
"What's wrong? Aren't you resting at home? I just came out to bask in the sun for a while, and you can't bear to leave grandma?" Grandma patted Ning Mingluo's back gently, her voice very gentle.
Feeling his grandmother's body temperature, Ning Mingluo burst into tears. This was his real grandmother. He hadn't hugged his grandmother for a long, long time.
The grandmother was keenly aware that her grandson was in a bad mood, but she did not ask any further questions. She just patted him gently to comfort him.
Ning Mingluo also recovered quickly.
"I just missed you suddenly. I'll accompany you to bask in the sun for a while."
It can be seen that the grandson is in a bad mood, but the grandmother did not ask too many questions. She does not interfere in other matters. As long as the grandson is healthy and safe, it is enough.
Sitting next to his grandmother, Ning Mingluo's mind was not as calm as he looked.
The contract with the company must not be renewed, but if it is not renewed, what should I do about my grandmother's illness?
He still had some savings, but it was just a drop in the bucket compared to his grandmother's illness.
If he had the chance to do it all over again, he couldn't bear to watch his grandmother leave him.
The most urgent thing for him is to find a way to raise money.
For several days, Ning Mingluo ignored the agency. She stayed at home with her grandmother and thought about her new job.
Now it was his agent's turn to be anxious.
Ning Mingluo is the most obedient artist under his command. He usually takes his words as an imperial decree. Why is there no response when he was asked to sign the contract this time?
Seeing Li Ke on the caller ID, Ning Mingluo hung up the call directly.
His agent is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. He withholds his salary. Since he doesn't plan to renew the contract, there is no need to communicate with him anymore.
Looking at the hung up call, Li Ke was so angry that he was fuming.
Is this bastard really getting too independent?
[Hurry up and sign the contract. If you don't, you won't be able to stay in the industry anymore.]
Ning Mingluo didn't care when he saw the message that came next.
He knew that Li Ke was so anxious to get him signed not because the company valued him so much, but because the company was attracted by his appearance and planned to use him to please those bigwigs.
So now the initiative is still in his hands, and he is not in a hurry at all.
"Your phone keeps ringing. Is there something going on at the company? If you're busy, go to the company. There's nothing wrong with my health. Why do you have to come to the hospital for a physical examination?"
"The company is fine, please check carefully."
Grandma's illness came so suddenly, so Ning Mingluo decided to bring her for a check-up as soon as possible. The sooner the disease is detected, the more hope there is for a cure.
Grandma went for a check-up and Ning Mingluo was waiting outside.
This is the best private hospital in the city. Ning Mingluo came here not only because of the good medical conditions, but also because he knew that in a while, an expert doctor who had returned from abroad would come here to treat his grandmother's illness. He said in his previous life that if the disease could be discovered earlier, there would still be hope of recovery.
So he didn't want to miss it again this time.
Ning Mingluo was a little nervous and took a piece of candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
The fresh scent of lemon soothed his mood.
Just when Ning Mingluo relaxed a little, a tall figure enveloped him.
Ning Ming frowned and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
This man was a head taller than him and had a stern aura.
The man had deep facial features and a pair of dark eyes that stared at Ning Mingluo closely, his aura dangerous.
The distance between the two people was less than half an arm's length. Ning Mingluo subconsciously held his breath. The man's eyes were too oppressive.
"gentlemen?"
But they couldn't continue to remain in this stalemate, so Ning Mingluo had no choice but to speak.
"Excuse me, do you need any help?"
The man didn't say anything, but suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Ning Mingluo...the candy wrapper in his hand.
Ning Mingluo looked confused.
The man in front of him, who was 1.9 meters tall, wearing an expensive suit and had a dangerous temperament, was asking him for the candy wrapper in his hand?
Is he dreaming?
