9. Human affection is warm and cold

After resting on the sofa for a while, Shen Qiushan went to the bathroom to take a hot shower, and his mind, which was paralyzed by alcohol, suddenly cleared up a lot.

Half leaning on the bed, Shen Qiushan lit a cigarette for himself, flipped through the address book of his mobile phone while smoking, and then dialed one of the calls.

"Shanzi is out??"

On the phone, the man's voice was a little surprised.

"Well, this one came out today. Shen Qiushan responded.

"Hey, then why don't you know how to reply, my brother will set you a table to pick up the wind, and I just happened to be casting in Yanjing these days!" The man on the phone is called Lin Wenge, a veteran director, and he is a third brother at home, so most people call him "third brother".

And as soon as he heard Lin Wenge say that he was casting in Yanjing, Shen Qiushan's eyes suddenly lit up, but he didn't have to "bypass" it himself.

"Yes, as soon as I came out, I heard that the third brother's new drama was casting, so I quickly called you, that kid from our family graduated from the film and television academy soon, and this graduation drama hasn't landed yet, third brother, can you see if you can use it?" Shen Qiushan took Lin Wenge's words and said straight to the point, the relationship between the two is not bad, so Shen Qiushan can give himself a face when he weighs what the other party does.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Wenge was silent for a moment, and his voice was obviously a little embarrassed: "The graduation scene has to be the protagonist, right?"

"You don't have to be the protagonist, as long as it's the main role, it's okay to have three or four men. Shen Qiushan hurriedly said.

"Alas, this thing is a bit difficult to do, you know, the current investor is hypocritical, my first male is a traffic niche, the second male is a powerful faction, and the two main male characters are really undecided, but the investor said hello and said that he wanted to insert someone in......" Lin Wenge pecked the tooth flower: "If you want to say a supporting role with lines, then my brother will arrange it, and this main role is indeed difficult." ”

"Well, since it's inconvenient for the third brother here, I'll ask the others again. Lin Wenge's attitude was already obvious, so Shen Qiushan naturally wouldn't continue to entangle.

"Shanzi, I'm really sorry, you see you open your mouth back, I haven't helped yet......" Lin Wenge said in an apologetic tone.

"Hey, it's all in this business, I understand the difficulties of the third brother, and if the investor wants to intervene, there is no way to do it. ”

"But no, now that capital is king, people take the money, we workers have to listen to it, isn't it......" Lin Wenge complained, and said: "Shanzi, I'm socializing here, if there is nothing else, let's talk back." ”

"Okay, I have time to invite the third brother to drink. ”

Shen Qiushan said politely and hung up the phone in disappointment.

Lin Wenge's rhetoric was obviously just an excuse, and when he didn't know what Shen Qiushan was calling, he also said that he was busy casting, but as a result, as soon as Shen Qiushan asked for a role, the male roles on his side were almost all set, and it was clear that he just didn't want to help.

It is your duty to help you with this kind of thing, and it is your duty not to help you, so Shen Qiushan has nothing to say.

flipped through the address book again, and Shen Qiushan dialed the next call, after all, after so many years in the entertainment industry, he still knows many directors.

"Lao Chang, I'm Shen Qiushan. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, this ...... comes out"

"There's really a thing, that kid in our family will graduate from the film and television academy next year, and now the graduation drama hasn't been settled yet, do you see if you can use it over there?"

"Well, let's do this first, and go back to make an appointment. ”

“……”

The second call was still fruitless, and Shen Qiushan made a third, fourth, and fifth call......

In half an hour, he made a total of ten calls, nine of which were connected, but when he told the matter, no one was willing to help, and the tone of communication between the crowd and him was very different from that before he went in, and even some evasion.

Although Shen Qiushan was a little helpless about this result, he was not surprised, in the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, people's realistic side will be infinitely magnified, who is popular and who plays with whom, who is declining and hiding whom, this is the principle of most people.

And Shen Qiushan, who has just come out of the detention center, of course, belongs to the kind of person who is declining, and as a negative teaching material on the national news broadcast, everyone naturally avoids it.

Dingdingding......

Just when Shen Qiushan sighed about the warmth and coldness of human feelings, the mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was a familiar name, Han Xiao.

This Han Xiao is a famous writer in China, a film critic, and the editor-in-chief of "Youth" magazine, speaking of which he and Shen Qiushan still belong to the kind that does not know each other, many years ago, the young and vigorous Han Xiao and the famous director Zhao Chuan set off a "polemic", at that time, people were not optimistic about Han Xiao, because he was inferior to Zhao Chuan regardless of qualifications and fame, however, after several rounds of Internet debates, Han Xiao unexpectedly achieved an overwhelming advantage, and also relied on his sharp words to circle countless fans.

The angry Zhao Chuan mobilized resources in the circle, so more than ten directors collectively spoke out on the Internet to encircle and suppress Han Xiao, Shen Qiushan was one of them, but in the end, the directors still failed, and they were quite embarrassed.

It was also in this controversy that Shen Qiushan and Han Xiao formed a "Liangzi", but later, at a friend's private banquet, the two became guests at the same time, and the two were originally quite embarrassed, but after a few glasses of wine, the two reconciled under the advice of the mutual friend, which can be regarded as "meeting with a smile and enmity", and the two chatted unexpectedly, and later became friends.

When "Martial Saint" premiered, Shen Qiushan called a group of friends in the circle because he couldn't attend the detention center, but as a result, only Han Xiao went that day, which naturally moved Shen Qiushan very much.

"Brother Shan, are you out?" Han Xiao was a few years younger than Shen Qiushan, and he kept calling him Brother Shan.

"yes, it came out today. Shen Qiushan chuckled in response.

"I'm counting the days and today, but it's a pity that I'm in the United States, otherwise I'd have gone over to pick you up. Han Xiao said.

"How did you go on vacation to America?"

"What, talk to Chen Feng about something, I'm not looking for him to play the male lead of my movie, he has been filming in the United States, I really can't wait to come to him, besides, I want to find katewang to do the theme song of my movie, talk to him by the way." Han Xiao said.

"You're going to make a movie??" Shen Qiushan was a little surprised.

"Yes, after so many years of tossing, I still want to shoot something myself, and I still want to ask Brother Shan for advice. Han Xiao said with a smile.

"Yes, I'm such a street director, what can I teach you!" Shen Qiushan smiled self-deprecatingly and asked, "How is it, did the talk go well?"

"Chen Feng's side is quite smooth, but Katewang's asking price is too high, and the budget is a bit overrun, so I'm hesitating. "Katewang is a Chinese-American musician, well-known in the United States and China, and his works have always been considered high-quality and compelling, so many domestic and foreign films are willing to ask him for soundtracks.

"If the asking price is too high, forget it, go back and send me the book, I'll see if I can help you tinker with two songs, don't forget, your brother and I used to do music production. Shen Qiushan said.

"That's a good dare, I'll send you the book in a while, by the way, Brother Shan, you have been a director for a long time, after reading the book, help me recommend a few suitable actors, and I will set Chen Feng as the male number one here." Han Xiao said again.

"It's done! it's on me!!" Hearing this, Shen Qiushan couldn't help but be overjoyed, this was really something missing.
