Chapter 5 Telephone at home
Brother Chao mentioned by Zhu La, called Guo Chao, is the owner of a theater called Laughter Factory in Beijing, and the theater mainly performs sketches, dramas and cross talk, and occasionally some two-person actors come to the stage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Guo Chao is also Zhou Xing and Zhu La, who are from the Performance Department of Huaxia Drama Academy, but they are a few years older than them, and they have a good relationship with Zhu La.
This is the job that Jura found for Zhou Xing.
After being blocked, Zhou Xing had no chance to appear in front of the public, and not only that, but even the endorsement fee for the previous advertisement could only be returned.
The vast majority of third-tier and below stars look glamorous, but in fact, they know that the artist can only take about 50% of the endorsement fees, as well as the salary, etc., and the rest will be withdrawn by the brokerage company.
And the brokerage company, after Zhou Xing was blocked, fired him for breach of contract.
At that time, Zhou Xing still had more than 300,000 yuan of revenue that had not been settled, and it was also deducted by the company, saying that this was Zhou Xing's liquidated damages for the company's losses.
In the end, the company also added: "This is based on the past situation, otherwise there is more than that." ”
Fuck your uncle's net!
It's just that the brokerage company knows that Zhou Xing has no money, and it is impossible to have money in the future - judging from the usual practice, it is tantamount to climbing to the sky if the bad artists who have been banned want to turn over again, and it is extremely difficult to have a day to get up.
And the money Zhou Xing made for them had already exceeded how many times the company had invested in him, otherwise how could they be so easy to talk to!
These vampires!
Not only that, but it is impossible for them to spit out the advertising endorsement fees that have been divided by the brokerage company, so they can only bear them by Zhou Xing, and even the advertiser asks for liquidated damages.
In this way, it is not enough for Zhou Xing to spit out all his net worth, and he still owes millions to advertisers, and he still loses the lawsuit - after all, it is Zhou Xing's own problems that cause the ban, so that the endorsement cannot continue.
In the end, Zhou Xing's parents sold the house in their family, and it was only half of it, leaving 1.02 million installments, 20,000 yuan per month, and 51 months to pay off.
From October 13 to last month, it was only 700,000 for 35 months, and there was still a gap of 320,000.
Before it was banned, 320,000 yuan was really nothing to Zhou Xing, filming and endorsement would be available in a month or two, and now, he is less than 10,000 yuan a month.
Fortunately, Brother Chao's theater is in charge of a dinner and a supper, and it is basically early in the morning when I go home, and I get up and eat lunch directly, except for the rent, there is no special expense.
Even after the ban, because Zhou Xing learned to smoke because of his grievances, he only smoked five yuan a pack of Hademen, one pack every two days, and only a few dozen yuan a month.
Even so, Zhou Xing is also powerless for the repayment of 20,000 yuan a month, and this is also due to his parents and brother and sister-in-law to help him repay the loan, otherwise he would have been forced to death a long time ago.
"Pity the hearts of parents in the world ......"
Although Zhou Xing only crossed over, he didn't have too many intuitive impressions and feelings for the parents of the original owner, but thinking that the original owner's parents, brother and sister-in-law also set up a barbecue stall after work for him, and they had to be busy until the early hours of the morning every day, and then get up to work after a few hours of sleep, and persisted for more than two years without regrets, Zhou Xing's heart suddenly surged with an indescribable taste.
Just when Zhou Xing was hesitating whether to call his home, and was afraid that his family would be suspicious, his phone suddenly rang.
When he saw the 'brother' displayed on the screen, Zhou Xing was immediately speechless: "This is really what you want to do......
He had no choice but to pick up the phone.
"Brother......" Zhou Xing called out unnaturally.
Zhou Xing's brother's name is Zhou Yang, and he didn't think too much about Zhou Xing's slightly hesitant voice, and said in a brisk tone: "Xiaoxing, what are you busy with, have you eaten?"
"Oh, eat...... Ate it, just ...... Just ate ......," Zhou Xing said, not quite sure if he would make his family suspicious.
Generally, when fathers, sons, and brothers make phone calls, most of them go straight and don't need too many preludes, and Zhou Yang is the same, he didn't think much about it when he heard this, and after coughing dryly, he said:
"Xiaoxing, from today onwards, your ban will be lifted, what are your plans?"
After seeing the conversation, Zhou Yang didn't suspect anything, and Zhou Xing relaxed, and his tone was much smoother: "Our teacher signed me up for Beijing Satellite TV's "Super Comedian", and I'm going to try it." ”
Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Zhou Yang was silent for a moment, which made Zhou Xing's heart rise again, I don't know what this big brother means.
Just when Zhou Xing's heart was going up and down, Zhou Yang said slowly: "Xiaoxing, are you still unwilling to give up?"
Zhou Xing understood what the other party meant, and smiled: "Why give up? I think I can still get up, so you don't have to work so hard anymore." ”
Zhou Yang sighed: "Don't you understand, the water in this circle is too deep and too muddy......
After a pause, Zhou Yang continued: "At that time, you were going to take the Chinese Opera (Huaxia Drama Academy), and my parents and I were not very optimistic, but seeing that you really liked it, I had to support you." Later, you really got in, and you have achieved certain things by your own efforts, and we are all proud of you, so we didn't say anything more. Can...... However, after this blockade, you ...... You ......"
Zhou Yang wanted to speak and stopped, but Zhou Xing understood that the eldest brother was worried that the public would no longer accept or even reject him because of that incident, and he was afraid that he would be stimulated by what he said, so he said it secretly.
A trace of warmth floated in his heart, and Zhou Xing said calmly: "Don't worry, brother, I know that the road to comeback is difficult, but I have the confidence to get up again." ”
"But you-" Zhou Yang saw that his younger brother was 'obsessed', and he was a little anxious to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Xing:
"Brother, I know you're doing it for my good, um......"
In his memory, Zhou Xing knew that his family had called him a lot in recent years and wanted him to go home, but the stubborn and stubborn Zhou Xing was unwilling, thinking that it was not his fault at the beginning, he loved acting and was unwilling to give up easily.
And now, Zhou Xing understands that his family must have been under a lot of pressure in the past few years - with a huge debt of millions, or pay it back every month, which ordinary family can catch his breath?
Even if Zhou Xing has the literary and artistic wealth of the entire earth in his previous life as the backing, he is more confident than anyone else, and he believes that his future will definitely shine, but his family doesn't know this, and I'm afraid that they are still worried about what he says.
As a mature soul, Zhou Xing naturally knew what to say in order to dispel their doubts.
After organizing the language in his heart, Zhou Xing said, "That's it...... Brother, after this competition, if I can find a way, forget it, if I really can't go on, I will listen to you, give up this road, go home and find a job. ”
Sure enough, hearing Zhou Xing's promise, Zhou Yang was a little surprised by his younger brother's change, but he was still satisfied.
The two brothers who grew up together knew that their younger brother was a good talker, so Zhou Yang didn't say anything more, and said, "Well, there's nothing to do at home, don't worry too much, don't lose yourself in food and clothing." ”
"I know, you too. Zhou Xing said.
After a pause, Zhou Yang hesitated, and finally suddenly said, "Xiaoxing, come on!"
Zhou Xing was stunned, then the corners of his mouth rose a little arc, and he smiled: "I know, thank you, brother." ”
"Alright, I'll hang up if there's nothing to do. Zhou Yang said.
Hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang put the phone on the table, leaned back on the back of the chair, and sighed slightly.
In the corner of the table, there was a small bright red book, but there was some dust on it, and there were three words in the middle: divorce certificate......
