chase
Lu Jia and Zhao An came together.
The two entered the ward talking and laughing.
After entering the door, Lu Jia handed the things to Zhao An and asked Jing Shengxi: "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
"I feel much better. Thank you for your concern."
Lu Jia and Jing Shengxi also had a lot to talk about, so Li Li moved to the side to make it easier for them to talk. During the activity, he saw Zhao An sitting opposite him.
Neither of them had a good impression of each other, so even for the sake of Jing Shengxi's face, they were lucky enough not to fight in front of her.
After Lu Jia confirmed the date of Jing Shengxi's discharge, she didn't plan to stay any longer. Seeing this, Li Li hurried to go with her.
Zhao An personally escorted them both out. After returning to the ward, he asked Jing Shengxi with a sullen face, "Are you still in contact with Li Li?"
"We got in touch after filming the variety show."
Jing Shengxi answered seriously and really wasn't angry with Zhao An.
Although most of this contact is due to work, Jing Shengxi believes that they are in contact and that they meet frequently.
"You should focus on work and publicity. The news of Lu Jia's visit has been photographed. I will arrange appropriate trending searches, and you need to cooperate with the publicity."
Jing Shengxi's eyes were fixed on a place where Li Li had been sitting before.
"Jing Shengxi." Zhao An called his name again: "You didn't hear me either."
"Didn't Lu Jia explain it clearly just now?"
"What?" Zhao An didn't really pay attention to what Lu Jia and Jing Shengxi were talking about. He was just staring at Li Li.
"Heh," Jing Shengxi sneered, disliking Zhao An for not paying attention to their conversation just now.
"She said that her team doesn't plan to promote this work this time, as excessive publicity would erode her popularity."
"Okay, since they don't plan to publicize it too much, we should keep a low profile as well."
When it comes to work, Zhao An will arrange everything clearly. Publicity, business endorsements and communication with producers are all arranged by him personally. There are rarely any mistakes, and he is like a working machine.
The two of them communicated and arranged their future schedules. Since the resources in their hands were snatched away by other colleagues, Jing Shengxi would have a long period of free time. He wanted Jing Shengxi to participate in variety shows to increase his exposure.
"I want to take advantage of this time to enrich myself."
Zhao An's eyes changed, and he asked directly without any prelude: "Do you still like Li Li?"
"I've loved her for almost ten years now, and it's not just liking her anymore."
"The man who pretended to be a delivery driver and delivered your coffee has been found. He admitted that he accepted 200,000 yuan from Li Li. She has no love for you, she just thinks you're annoying."
"I don't believe it." Jing Shengxi answered firmly: "Based on my understanding of her, I would never do such a thing. Even if she did, she must have a reason for treating me like this."
Zhao An almost couldn't breathe. He looked at Jing Shengxi with a conflicted look. If Jing Shengxi wasn't sick now, he would have shaken his brain hard. It would be best if he could do a craniotomy, take out the entire brain, put it in sterile water and wash it vigorously to wash away all the memories of Li Li.
"What's so good about her?"
"She's fine." Jing Shengxi also became stubborn: "She's very good, you don't understand that kind of good."
Zhao An really didn't understand. In his impression, Li Li was just that ordinary-looking, average-status actress who could only play supporting roles and couldn't carry the big dramas.
What makes him worthy of Jing Shengxi?
Not worthy of any of it.
In the past few years, he had finally hoped that the two would break up. Jing Shengxi was too busy with work to have time for a relationship, but Zhao An still thought it was pretty good. At least it was much better than those artists who would stop working to recuperate after a breakup.
Work came one after another and the schedule was full. Sometimes he couldn't bear it and gave Jing Shengxi a few days to rest and let him adjust his mind and body.
However, when he saw the news that Jing Shengxi appeared in the UK in the fan group, he knew that this man was too stubborn.
There are always two days a week when I suddenly disappear and then become obsessed with drama performances again.
Jing Shengxi thought he had kept it a secret very well.
It's just that I don't want to expose it.
In today's environment, it's a dead end for idol stars to fall in love. There are so many people eyeing the resources in their hands, waiting for them to get into trouble. Just because he is in the hospital now, he has lost many of his resources.
Zhao An personally brought Jing Shengxi from a kid who worked as an arranger behind the scenes to where he is now. The human relationships, resources and connections consumed in this process are beyond the price of money.
"Jing Shengxi, think it over. It doesn't matter if you fail. The staff and newcomers behind you are relying on you to earn money to support their salaries and living expenses."
It's ridiculous to say it. They are all people with hands and feet and the ability to work. They can earn money to support their families and make a living, but they can make more money by following Jing Shengxi.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and it is often harder to guard against one's own people than against one's opponents. If he is not careful, it will ruin his ten years of hard work.
Give Jing Shengxi some time to think carefully about his future plans.
Future planning, what to plan?
The company is now arranging for him to transform, saying that it is inappropriate for him to continue acting in youth idol dramas at his age, and he needs to transform and take on some serious dramas.
After all, temporary popularity is not really popularity, long-term popularity is the real popularity.
The currently popular criminal investigation drama was obtained by exchanging company resources, and he was not the first choice for the leading role. The producers wanted someone who had been tempered by life, not an actor who needed to eat a low-salt and low-fat diet and strictly count calories.
In order to get him to participate, Zhao An really put in a lot of effort, soliciting sponsorship and negotiating the price with the platform crew, and finally decided to get him.
Director Ding said that his acting was always a little lacking in quality and a sense of life, and if he wanted to transform, he'd better change as soon as possible.
Mu Yan said that his acting was copy and paste and there was nothing new about it.
Screenwriter Xu said he had no brains.
Li Li told him that he needed to rest and think more.
Li Lai——
I was feeling depressed when I suddenly thought of Li Li. It was like a cup of bitter black coffee with sugar and milk, and the bitterness was replaced by sweetness.
After being poisoned, he underwent gastric lavage, which made him feel very uncomfortable physically and mentally. He wanted someone to comfort him and hug him, and it would be best if that person was Li Li.
However, no one.
He was the only one in the ward.
He needs to process his negative emotions alone.
It's like self-abuse. He shouldn't eat because his stomach hurts, but he insisted on ordering a cup of iced coffee for himself.
He tortured himself with stomach pain to the point of breaking out in cold sweats and starting to vomit. Doctors and nurses came running with an ambulance, but he was still wondering if Li Li would come as his illness had gotten worse.
The birds outside the window flew across the blue sky without stopping.
The temperature in the air-conditioned room is maintained at 26 degrees.
During his hospitalization, apart from Zhao An and Lu Jia who came to visit due to clocking in for work, no one came to visit him, and he didn't want others to see him in the hospital.
Zhao An was proud every time he came, saying that although some of his resources had been snatched away before, with the popularity of this criminal investigation drama, his popularity also increased, and the resources that had been snatched away before have returned twice as much.
He took out a thick script and said, "Choose, and I'll go talk to you after you've made your choice."
Lu Jialai came here purely for publicity. When he arrived at the hospital, he first sat with his former agent's mother for a while, then sat in the corridor for a while, and then came to Jing Shengxi.
Just like checking in at a tourist attraction, I took a photo, exchanged a few words, and then found an excuse to leave.
He asked Lu Jia about Guan Lilai's recent situation, and Lu Jia said that she was rehearsing a stage play.
"A stage play? Why didn't her agent negotiate any resources for her?"
Jing Shengxi somewhat disliked Lan Yan's professional ability. If it were Zhao An, he would have struck while the iron was hot during the broadcast of the drama and arranged variety shows or interviews for her to increase her exposure.
"Li Lai is also very popular now. The drama she starred in, 'Follow the Map', has been sold out. Lan Yan respected her wishes and did not expose her too much. Now the only way to see her is to go to the drama."
At this point, Lu Jia remembered something: "Oh, right, now that "Xiao Family Secret" has started post-production, your scenes will be re-shot later."
Work, work, and more work. This is something Jing Shengxi cannot escape from. He really has no expectations for his future.
During the period of recuperation, Zhao An arranged interviews for him. The workload was light, and he also took advantage of this period of injury to allow him to be emotional and speak out everything in his heart.
But now Jing Shengxi is no longer a rookie. He knows what to say and what not to say. Even if he wants to say something, he is willing to say only one percent of what is in his heart.
Host: "What do you want to say to your fans?"
Jing Shengxi swallowed what he wanted to say by drinking water, letting his true feelings die in his stomach.
"When I was in the hospital, a very good friend of mine, whom I had known for ten years, told me that a person needs time to think. I found this very helpful, so I wanted to share it with my fans."
Host: "Could you please tell us who this good friend is?"
Jing Shengxi's eyes curved into crescents as he smiled: "My roommate, the one who carried me to the doctor."
I really want to say your name, but I know that I am not worthy of it now.
Work finished early today, and Jing Shengxi changed into a simple outfit to watch a drama.
He bought the tickets for the drama by infiltrating Li Lai's fan group. The girl originally wanted to watch it with her boyfriend, but her boyfriend had something to do, so she didn't plan to go.
Unlike Li Lai, if she wants to watch a movie, she will go to see it even if she doesn't have time. After watching it, she will come back and tell herself the plot of the movie, and then say at the end: "It's okay, you can watch it online in a few days."
"Well, I want to watch it now." Actually, he wanted to go to the cinema with her to watch it again.
"No," Li Li said seriously, "As entertainers, we should resist pirated movies and TV shows."
In the dim theater, only the stage was lit. Li Li stood under the light, receiving everyone's gaze.
Her confidence and talent, calmness and stability are all things I envy.
The ancients said that those who carve a boat to look for a sword are people who stick to dogma, stick to the rules, and are stubborn and inflexible.
In fact, it is the same if you follow the map.
He dressed and acted the same way as he did on the day he confessed his love, and went to the theater to watch Li Li's performance. Two hours and forty-five minutes was the time he imagined.
Two hours and forty-six minutes later, when the lights came on, he, like other audience members, would applaud the actors' wonderful performances on stage, and then leave the theater smoothly.
The show ended late, the sun set, and a star named Hun Huang Xiao lit up in the western sky.
After Jing Shengxi finished smoking a cigarette, the effect of nicotine overwhelmed the stomach pain. He walked slowly westward along the city road, occasionally looking up at the stars in the west, taking out his mobile phone to take pictures and posting them on his social platform.
You chase the stars, I chase you.
