Chapter 12 [Timely Appearance]
A starving person who has been walking in the desert for too long, suddenly being hit on the head by dozens of dogs, will not burst into tears of happiness, but will be strangled to death.
Luo Qiubai has drifted in the entertainment industry for so many years, always hovering on the edge, not to mention playing a character with lines, even if he can show his face, he is already satisfied, but now Qi Feng suddenly smashed a big cake of hundreds of millions of investment on his head On the road, his first reaction was not excitement, but panic.
He knows exactly how much he weighs. If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work. Although he aspires to be a good actor recognized by everyone, he hasn't had the urge to think that a third-rate entertainer like himself will be able to climb to the top. Takaeda can be lawless.
Qi Feng is just taking care of him, and under the grace of God, he will give you a few good movies for fun. If he acts in the thick of his skin, when he is thrown into the cold palace in the end, he will only be laughed at behind his back. Luo Qiubai Not at all trying.
After all, some successes are truly precious only if they come from your own efforts.
Seeing Luo Qiubai put away the script without showing any sign, Qi Feng frowned, "Don't you like any of these?"
"No, I was just too excited for a moment, I was too picky, and I'll tell you after I read it carefully." Luo Qiu smiled, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't choose any of the four.
Qi Feng seemed satisfied after hearing this answer, put down his coffee cup, stood in front of the mirror and put on his coat.
"Are you going to work?" Luo Qiubai walked to him.
Qi Feng uttered a sound from his nasal cavity as acquiescence, put on a black suit, and began to tie a tie of the same color under the collar of his white shirt.
At this time, Luo Qiubai pressed his hand from behind, and said with a smile, "Don't always dress up so seriously, you look like Lord Hades in the dark, you are only 28, not [-]."
As he spoke, he picked out a light blue tie with dark stripes from the servant, and put it around Qi Feng's neck, "Change to this one, blue suits your temperament very well."
The servant just wanted to raise his hand to stop him, but he met Qi Feng's eyes, and immediately swallowed the words that came to his lips. He didn't have the nerve to tell Luo Qiubai that his young master hated wearing nothing but black and white when he went to work. Any color other than color.
Qi Feng's expression became a little weird, he stood still, watched Luo Qiubai tie his tie on his own initiative, smiled and said to him in the mirror, "Look, you look much younger now, don't you?" .”
"Many things." Qi Feng put down two words, picked up the briefcase and walked out the door, but did not take off the tie.
Luo Qiubai was used to his strange and taciturn temper, so he smiled and waved goodbye to him.
Sitting in the car, Qi Feng looked down at the tie, couldn't help but snorted, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he chose one with a heart-shaped dark pattern out of so many ties, it was definitely to seduce him on purpose, it was awkward Fiancee is really helpless.
Half an hour later, Xinghui's driver arrived as scheduled.
At a loss, Luo Qiubai followed him to the headquarters by car, and when he got there, he saw the towering skyscrapers, and he felt nervous and excited.
He doesn't know what is waiting for him in the future, but this is a brand new beginning, he must grasp it carefully, let him go to hell with the past.
Taking a deep breath and walking into the door, he was greeted by a manager in his 30s. Before he even had time to introduce himself, the man had already held his hand with a smile, "No need to introduce, Qiu Bai, your details I have read the information, and you are welcome to join Xinghui, my name is Kevin."
Luo Qiu was speechless, and hurriedly nodded politely to express his thanks. The whole person was still in a cloud of fog, and he was led by the man to sign the contract.
The posture of signing the contract is really scary. When he first signed the contract with Cade, he urgently needed money to treat his father. Basically, there were no conditions to negotiate. Even if the terms of the contract were as harsh as exploiting slaves, he had no choice but to I can sign obediently.
And now there are two lawyers standing next to him, who are carefully reading the terms of the contract, helping him analyze the pros and cons one by one, as if defending his rights to the death, arguing with the person in charge of Xinghui, and finally helping him win the biggest In terms of rights and interests, the posture seemed that Luo Qiubai was not just a superstar who couldn't get on the stage, but a big-name superstar full of airs.
Luo Qiubai had never received this kind of treatment before, and while being overwhelmed by flattery, he couldn't help being terrified. Why did Qi Feng help him regardless of the cost?
go to bed?But he doesn't lift...
love at first sight?Stop making trouble, he is not narcissistic enough to be loved by everyone.
Then what is he fancying about himself? If it was just for retaliation for him prying into his secret back then, then the price he paid would be too great...
When he was puzzled, Kevin had already taken him to the top of the company.
"Qiu Bai, although you are now a member of Xinghui, the company hasn't had time to arrange an agent for you, so you may not have a job recently. I will take you to familiarize yourself with the venue first. This is the company's largest studio. The indoor scenes of many movies are shot here, and you will definitely have the opportunity to come here in the future."
Luo Qiubai nodded, like a ground turtle who has never seen the world, looking around, feeling itchy to see everything.
Kevin took him around for a while before he was called away by the phone. Luo Qiubai was alone with his pockets, and stopped in front of a shed with great interest. He happened to see a star he liked very much and couldn't help taking pictures. As soon as he took out his mobile phone, a coin fell out of his pocket. He ran for a long distance, and finally stopped in a circle.
A slender and strong hand picked it up, raised his head along the line of sight, and met a pair of deep eyes at once.
Meng Liangchen...?
Luo Qiubai's heart skipped a beat, and then quickly cleaned up the expression on his face, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Thank you."
Meng Liangchen grabbed his hand, put the coin in his palm, and smiled, "Qiu Bai, long time no see."
Didn't you just see it at the press conference of "Song of the Setting Sun" last time?It just depends on whether you want to remember it or not.
Luo Qiubai hooked the corners of his mouth, pulled out his palm, and greeted politely, "Yeah, long time no see, Best Actor Meng, you are handsome again."
Meng Liangchen paused, and said in the same low voice as before, "I heard that you signed Xinghui, congratulations, we will be colleagues from now on."
Luo Qiubai used the politeness to the extreme, "Thank you, I will rely on senior Meng for guidance in the future."
Meng Liangchen pursed his lips, his tall and slender figure set off a gray windbreaker particularly tastefully. He looked at Luo Qiubai, and after a moment of silence he sighed, "You are still the same as before..."
One sentence made Luo Qiubai's face a little ugly, he hated hearing the word "before", especially when it came from Meng Liangchen's mouth.
"We haven't seen each other for a year, do you have time to go out for a drink?"
"Forget it, you are tens of millions in a minute, and I can't afford to delay. Besides, I'm a newcomer, and if I hang out with you, the top star of Xinghui, I might be scolded and hugged. Movie Emperor Meng, please forgive me."
Looking at Luo Qiubai who was chatting happily with him, Meng Liangchen's expression was a bit subtle, and he smiled after a while, "Qiu Bai, you misunderstood, I just want to talk to you about business, what are you worried about?"
"Just going for a cup of coffee, it won't take up too much of your time."
Luo Qiubai froze, unable to speak a word for a moment.
This man was still as terrifying as before, he was too familiar with him, and what he said could easily hit his pain point, making him unable to refuse.
Because once he refuses, it is tantamount to admitting that he still cares about the relationship between the two of them before, which he never wants to see.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Qiu smiled in vain, and nodded lazily with both hands in his pockets, "Since senior speaks, how dare I not show face, let's go, I'm a little hungry after talking."
Meng Liangchen nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he wished.
Sitting in the coffee shop downstairs, neither of them spoke.
Elegant blues music wafted in my ears, and the cup of coffee in front of me was already completely cold.
Luo Qiubai rested his chin and looked out of the window, rather self-deprecatingly wondering if Meng Liangchen's first words would be bloody "How have you been this year", but in the end he heard melodious voice, "At the press conference that day, I didn't expect you to come."
"Oh, I just went to save the field, but I didn't expect to meet you."
Luo Qiubai always had a smile on his face, just like Meng Liangchen remembered.
This man has filled the vacancy in his heart for a long time. He treats everyone with gentleness and is always full of smiles. When his nice voice calls him "Good Day", he feels the satisfaction in his heart. Remember now.
At that time, he liked Luo Qiubai's shining eyes looking at him, even though he never said he liked him, even if he saw himself and Su Qingliu quarreling, he never took advantage of it.
Su Qingliu is passionate, self-contained, and independent like a flame, while Luo Qiubai is like spring water, lingering, gentle, and inclusive.
He couldn't help but like this "little tail" who worshiped him as an idol, and all the unwillingness and loss he got from Su Qingliu could be recovered one by one in Luo Qiubai. It can be said that it was Luo Qiubai who saved the broken love back then. Desperate him.
"If I knew you would be there, I would rather be absent, or cancel the event directly."
Meng Liangchen looked at him seriously, and said slowly, "I never thought of using Qingliu's incident to hint at you. What happened back then... I am sorry for you."
"That's enough, I've forgotten everything that happened back then." Luo Qiubai sneered, "I'm not as complicated as you think, and I dare not compare with Brother Qingliu. We met at the same event, that's all, why do you apologize to me?"
"If this is your so-called official business, then there is nothing to say. Senior Meng, I still have to go one step ahead. I wish your new version of "Song of the Setting Sun" a big hit at the box office."
Luo Qiubai stood up and walked out, Meng Liangchen grabbed him.
The gazes of the two collided in the air, and Meng Liangchen stared at him with deep eyes and slowly said, "I asked you out today just to talk about "Song of the Setting Sun."
Luo Qiubai broke away from his hand, not wanting the two of them to quarrel too badly here, "I already know that you are going to invest in a remake, and I also know that you are doing this to miss Brother Qingliu, and then? What else is there besides these? Need you to tell me specifically?"
Meng Liangchen's eyes were burning, "I want to invite you to participate in this movie."
Luo Qiubai seemed to have heard the Arabian Nights, he was stunned for a moment, and then endless sadness and anger surged in his heart.
Just a press conference is not enough, but he has to be mixed into this movie, and he will never be able to escape Su Qingliu's shadow. How can a person's heart be so sharp.
Luo Qiubai laughed, leaned on the table jokingly, and said loudly, "Oh, this is a great honor, I don't know who Meng Yingdi wants me to play, it can't be the role of the emperor Qingliu, right? Tsk tsk, I'm a third-rate petite but I can't play the leading role."
His self-deprecating attitude made Meng Liangchen a little uncomfortable. He took a breath and grabbed Luo Qiubai's wrist, "It doesn't matter what role you want, as long as you like it. I know this was your first movie back then, so we also We got acquainted, and I hope to realize each other's dream."
Luo Qiubai sneered, and pulled away his wrist, "Forget it, I don't want to."
"This dream is destined to be a cripple. It won't come true, and I don't want to. The great opportunity to cooperate with you must be someone who will steal their heads, so I won't be cannon fodder."
After saying this, he turned around cleanly, leaving only a back view.
Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, a black Bentley drove up from the opposite door of Xinghui Company, Luo Qiubai froze for a moment, and then the phone in his pocket rang.
He walked over quickly, knocked on the car window, and Qi Feng's face was revealed.
The moment he saw him, Luo Qiubai felt that he was finally saved, and a chill came out of his body, making him stare at Qi Feng tightly and speechless.
"What's wrong with you?" Qi Feng got out of the car and put his arms around his waist.
If this action was done before, Luo Qiubai would probably push it away, but now his head is in a mess and he has no intention to care about it.
He looked at Qi Feng who was frowning, smiled lightly, and lowered his head on his shoulder, "It's nothing, just happy to see you."
Qi Feng paused for a moment, then his ears were a little red, he walked around the spot angrily, grabbed his hand and pulled him into the car.
The car door slammed shut like a shattered old dream, making Meng Liangchen, who had followed up to witness everything, stop in his tracks.
In the rear car mirror, Qi Feng saw Meng Liangchen watching the car leave, and frowned unconsciously.
This man again, who is he?
Luo Qiubai rubbed his forehead, and it finally warmed up a little. After a long time, he came back to his senses and found that the car was driving on the highway. "Where are we going? Are we not going home?"
The phrase "go home" pleased Qi Feng, he glanced at the two huge suitcases in the back seat of the car, and said very calmly, "Go get the certificate."
