It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when Zhao Si and his friends finally arrived at the hotel.
The crew arranged a dinner together in the evening to welcome the newly joined Li Yilin, and to wash away the previous haze and start anew.
Gu Lingfeng told Zhao Si about Li Yilin's participation in the third male role, and also told him that Li Yilin was an artist he had signed before, but he didn't mention anything else.
It’s not that he is generous, but he mainly feels ashamed. After all, it was Li Yilin who insisted on terminating the contract with him. If they were in a relationship, it would be like he was ruthlessly kicked out, which would be so embarrassing.
Sunan had heard some gossip from the assistant and driver, but he only knew that they terminated the contract early, and he was not sure why.
However, Li Yilin has a good reputation. He is nice to the staff around him, and his assistant and driver have never said anything bad about him.
After resting for a while in the hotel, taking a shower and changing clothes, Zhao Si asked Su Nan to go to the restaurant for dinner together. It was the largest restaurant in the town, and many weddings and funerals in the town were usually held here.
When they arrived, almost everyone else had arrived. Li Yilin sat next to Zhang Zhen. Next to him sat a bald, greasy, middle-aged fat man who was talking to Zhang Zhen over Li Yilin. He was Li Yilin's current agent, Liu Dawei.
Su Nan and Zhao Si did not know Liu Dawei, but Gu Lingfeng knew this person. He was the head agent of Sihai Entertainment. He was very good at getting along with everyone. He had similar interests with Zhao Sihai and did things without any bottom line.
It turns out that he is Li Yilin's agent. No wonder he was able to get the third substitute male role that countless people were eyeing.
"That's Li Yilin." Su Nan nudged Zhao Si with his elbow and signaled him with his eyes.
Zhao Si followed his gaze and saw Li Yilin quietly sandwiched between Zhang Zhen and Liu Dawei, with drooping eyelids, as if in a daze.
Li Yilin is undoubtedly handsome, otherwise Gu Lingfeng would not have signed him, but his handsomeness is different from that of Zhao Si and Su Nan.
Zhao Si is a youthful and energetic athletic boy, while Sunan is a bright and dazzling handsome boy.
Li Yilin is a sad and handsome type, cynical, decadent and handsome, with a natural melancholic temperament. Smoking, drinking, clubbing and flirting with girls make you feel that he is engaged in literature and art.
Anyway, he doesn't look like someone who can be taken care of, but he is actually a silly and innocent person...
Li Yilin is a very well-behaved person in private, a little silly. He doesn't smoke or drink, and he goes to bars occasionally but doesn't do anything rash. He is a boy with good upbringing and strong principles, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to endure being controlled by Gu Lingfeng for several years.
Although he couldn't help it in the end.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Li Yilin's tough attitude in demanding the termination of the contract is considered to be a relatively rebellious thing he has done.
Zhao Si's gaze was too direct. Li Yilin noticed that someone was looking at him, so he looked over and met Zhao Si's eyes. Zhao Si grinned at him, but Li Yilin didn't smile, and his eyes flickered a little.
Zhao Si felt that this person was not very polite.
When Producer Xu saw Zhao Si and Su Nan, he quickly asked them to sit down. The seats near Zhang Zhen at the big table were all occupied. Zhao Si and Su Nan sat down indifferently in two empty seats nearby. Zhang Zhen glanced at them but said nothing.
Overall, the dinner went smoothly and everyone was very happy. Zhao Si and Su Nan gathered together to chat, and occasionally followed the crowd to toast the director and screenwriter.
Li Yilin didn't have it so easy. Before he had even taken two bites of his food, Liu Dawei took him around to toast and asked everyone on the crew to take care of him with a smile.
Of course, they didn't pay their respects to everyone. They mainly paid their respects to a few important people in the crew, such as Zhang Zhen, Jiang Wei, and Xu Yi. The actors only paid their respects to the leading male actor...
Li Yilin's alcohol tolerance is not very good. When Gu Lingfeng takes him out for social events, he will not force him to drink with him regardless of the consequences. Usually, he will just give him a little bit of alcohol. The rest of the time, Gu Lingfeng will try to please everyone and he will just eat on the side.
Halfway through the dinner, Li Yilin was already drunk, but he was a good drinker and remained quiet even when drunk. He leaned back in his chair and stared blankly at something, but he looked even more decadent.
For some reason, Zhao Si suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
When Zhao Si and Gu Lingfeng were video chatting at night, he mentioned this matter. Gu Lingfeng just felt sad. He protected Li Yilin too well, which made him forget that the entertainment industry is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface. There are many messy things behind the scenes that are beyond one's control.
The video call lasted for several hours, and they were reluctant to hang up even though their phones were getting hot. When they went to bed, they both felt like there was someone missing by their side, and their hearts were empty.
Oh God, please let the filming go more smoothly so that this star-crossed couple can be reunited sooner.
The filming was restarted. Although the third male lead did not have many scenes, many of them were group scenes. Originally, Zhang Zhen was not satisfied with the scenes that were barely passed before, so he took this opportunity to reshoot them all.
Li Yilin's acting skills are pretty good and he is considered a talented player, so he was able to become a rising star in a short period of time, not only with the support of Gu Lingfeng's resources, but also with his own efforts.
The entertainment industry is like this. Just like what Gu Lingfeng and Qi Heng said, you can make some splash by investing resources, but if you want to become famous, it really depends on luck.
The crew continued filming peacefully. Except for the fact that there was a nanny car when Zhao Si and Su Nan took a break, everything else was the same as before.
Zhao Si discovered that Li Yilin often looked at him and Su Nan. His expression was always indifferent, as if he was in a daze, but Zhao Si could see some envy in his eyes.
He thought Li Yilin envied his friendship with Su Nan because the two of them would always gather together and whisper to each other, while Li Yilin would always sit alone in the corner.
