Chapter 88
After the crew finished work, Zhou Heting returned to the hotel room as usual to chat with Pei Ji on Skype.
Pei Ji seems to have just taken a shower, his upper body is naked, and the lens is also a little white mist stained by the hot air. Pei Ji didn't care about โกโก, and said with a smile while wiping his hair with a towel: "What's the matter, you don't want to give up?
Zhou He glanced at him, "Your face is really big." I'm thinking about what happened during the day. โ
When Pei Ji heard that he was thinking about Cui Menghua, he was suddenly a little unhappy, "Why do you want that, I think it's just that the two brothers are competing with each other, how long has it been since the surname Cui returned to China to develop? Saying that, he waved his hand, held the mouse and smiled, "Didn't you say that you were recommended a new movie the day before yesterday, let's watch it together, anyway, I finished work early today." โ
Zhou Yiting shook his head, "It's just because it's impossible, don't you think it's even more strange?"
As soon as Pei Ji heard that the topic was still inseparable from the surname Cui, he took a deep breath in annoyance, and his brows furrowed, "It seems that if you don't discuss a result today, you can keep thinking about it, right?"
Zhou Heting lowered his head and raised his eyelids to make a gesture of looking up, and whispered, "Pei Ji?"
Pei Ji was defeated in an instant, "Okay, okay, okay, play with you." When I look at you, my goosebumps are about to rise, and I can't touch it, can you do it okay Don't tease me again, or I'll run to 316 in a while, you are not allowed to rush out. โ
Zhou He listened to it, and he didn't care about what nonsense he was talking about, so he sat up and said: "You also said it, Cui Menghua is not a person who makes enemies everywhere, and the problem of Weiya sounds more like the low-level employees are making it bad, Cui Menghua doesn't play a big name and is not embarrassed by the crew employees, where did the incident come about?"
Pei Ji leaned on the pillow on the bed and said leisurely: "At first, I also thought that this matter was directed at him, and then I also thought of going with you, and I think that this kid is not so unpopular, but ......" He stretched out a finger and shook it, and said with a care, "I think this accident is aimed at him." โ
"Why? Guess what?"
"It's not a guess, I think the cousin surnamed Cui is too suspicious. What do you think, if this thing is for Cui Yicheng, why is it so coincidental that he has a fever and asks for leave this time? There has been no accident so many times before, so he has been honestly acting as a stand-in, and this time as soon as something happened, he slipped away, which is so obvious that I have no face to look at. โ
Zhou listened to the rebuttal: "It's because it's too obvious that I don't think it's related to him." I've guessed this before, but do you think that with Cui Yicheng's character, he will do such a sinister villain? Since his debut, basically everyone who has been in contact with him knows that he is reckless and irritable, and he has any feelings on his face, and he is not happy with you, so he will directly show it head-on, and it is unlikely that he will be a yin person behind him. And this person should be quite simple in thinking, and can't come up with such a troublesome idea. โ
Pei Ji also felt that it made sense when he heard it, but he inevitably wanted to fight for himself a little more, and muttered: "It's also possible that someone else helped him think about it." โ
Zhou listened helplessly and said: "Cui Menghua is his younger brother, why does he want to treat his relatives like this? What's more, he has no way out after being hidden by the company, it was Cui Menghua who gave him such a job as a stand-in, and he can only survive now, otherwise with his resume and education, would he have to move bricks?"
Pei Ji smiled, "It's not that miserable." โ
"You didn't do your homework at first glance. Zhou listened to the words, "Cui Yicheng was directly recruited by talent scouts as a trainee after graduating from high school, and he didn't continue to study at all, and it is estimated that he doesn't want to go to college at all with his character." Later, he fell out with his first employer, until he participated in the audition and stepped into the entertainment industry again, and for about a year, he has been working odd jobs outside, as a waiter or courier, with no serious work. What do you think he can do if he is hidden in the snow and returns to the life of an ordinary person?"
Pei Ji nodded half-knowingly, "Although the salary of a stuntman is not high, it is better than those hourly workers, not to mention that the boss is still his own family...... So, it was actually Cui Menghua who helped him?"
Zhou Jie shook his head again when he heard this, "I can't say that completely." When Cui Yicheng and the crew director had a conflict, Cui Menghua had already debuted and mixed into the front line, and he has always had a good relationship, although most of his connections are abroad, but the mainland has long heard of him, and he still has some status. His economic company at that time had a close relationship with Cui Yicheng's brokerage company, and he was considered half a partner, if he came forward to exonerate Cui Yicheng, he might not be to the point of hiding in the snow, and at most he would be kicked out of the crew, but Cui Yicheng's acting career could continue. โ
"As a result, he didn't come forward?" Pei Ji expected the follow-up, and sure enough, he pursed his lips and nodded in affirmation. Pei Ji said thoughtfully: "In fact, with Cui Yicheng's plain and temper, he may not be able to cause much trouble if he stays in the entertainment industry, and it is not a completely bad thing that he is hidden now." However, as a cousin brother, Cui Menghua does not help his family at all, and everyone will definitely complain about anyone. โ
Zhou Jiting continued to say lightly: "Yes, although there is no news report in the follow-up, I can imagine that there must be a disturbance in their family at that time." However, even so, Cui Yicheng is still willing to accept Cui Menghua's help and be a stuntman with no future, do you think if he thinks Cui Menghua is really sorry for himself, will he be willing? Will he be a stuntman for three years? If he has complaints about Cui Menghua, he will not be his stuntman, and second, he will not be willing to be obscure for three years. Do you think he'll endure it for three years and only now start taking revenge?"
Pei Ji was speechless, "Can ...... I can't think of anyone else who will pick Cui Menghua to deal with. โ
Zhou listened to Zhengse and said: "Pei Ji, today I asked Xiaojing to go to the props team and ask about the situation of Weiya, do you know what to ask?"
Pei Ji obviously didn't focus on the same line with him, "Why can you use my people!? And why hasn't he explained to me at all!?"
Zhou Listen ignored him and continued his topic, "Xiaojing told me that according to the explanation of the props team, if the big rope and the pulley were misaligned a little more strictly, Cui Menghua would not just be thrown onto the city wall. He would be thrown out of the safe zone and thrown on unprotected concrete. โ
Pei Ji's brain froze for a moment, and he couldn't react to what he said, "What do you mean?" you mean...... This accident should have been a little stricter?"
"I don't know. I just think there may be something else going on in this matter. Zhou listened sincerely, "Cui Menghua is only slightly injured now, and he can recover after two days of recuperation, do you think there will be someone who spends so much time doing homework on Weiya, but just in exchange for the other party's dislocation consequences?"
Pei Ji only felt messy, couldn't figure it out, and just wanted to complain, but suddenly saw that Zhou Jiting in the video seemed to hear something and left the camera.
"Listen, listen, what's wrong?"
Zhou Heting appeared in front of the screen again, hurriedly said "someone knocked on the door" and turned off the camera.
Pei Ji felt a sudden slap in his heart, although it is not too late now, but it is already dark, who will look for Zhou Heting at this time? If it is Lu Pin Xiaojing, Zhou Heting has no need to turn off the camera and skype.
The more he thought about it, the more unsteady he felt, so he turned off the computer and got out of bed, quickly got dressed and walked out of the room, and went straight to 316.
When he reached the door, there was no movement in the hallway, and he hesitated to knock on the door, and a moment later the sound of the door opening was heard.
Zhou Erting seemed to have expected seeing Pei Ji, stared at the man's awkward face and sighed, and whispered: "I knew you would come over, let's go into the house." โ
Pei Ji originally wanted to play a scoundrel with him, but the smiling face disappeared in an instant after seeing the man sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room.
"What are you doing here!"
Cui Menghua looked innocent, "Come and listen to the chat." โ
Pei Ji also wanted to scold angrily, "Listen to what you can call!", but Zhou Ji secretly pulled the corners of his clothes.
Zhou Heting handed him an ambiguous look, "He's here to talk." โ
Pei Ji was obviously not appeased at all, "What kind of heart to talk about, what does he have to talk about with you!"
Cui Menghua was not annoyed, and smiled with his cheeks: "Why, only if you can come, I can't come?"
Pei Ji almost blurted out a "nonsense", but was stopped by Zhou Heting again.
"Don't you understand? He's here to talk. Zhou listened to the word "heart-to-heart" very hard, "About Weiya." โ
Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he was still very vigilant, "What are you looking for and listening to?"
Cui Menghua wanted to speak and stopped, and Zhou heard the words and said: "It's okay, this person is a little unreliable, and his mouth is still very strict...... And he already knows the relationship between Cui Yicheng and you. โ
Cui Menghua was stunned, picked up the water cup on the coffee table and scribbled a sip before speaking again.
"Actually...... There's not much to say, it's just that I can't find anyone here to talk about it, so I came to you out of nowhere. Cui Menghua said and rubbed his hands, "After all, ...... This is also a family ugly. โ
Pei Ji snorted from his nose, "With such an unconscious relative, you really have a long way to go." โ
Zhou Heting's hand that had been holding Pei Ji's arm secretly pinched harder, but Cui Menghua didn't mind, but smiled.
"He's really not a peace of mind. โ
Zhou Yiting sat down beside him and asked, "Since he is so troublesome, why do you keep him by your side, if you want to help him, there should be many ways." โ
Cui Menghua sighed helplessly, "Of course I also know that I have the ability to give him a sum of money to do some business on his own, or to open a store in partnership with others." But...... My brother can't do those things. โ
Pei Ji hit the nail on the head, "He still wants to film." โ
Cui Menghua nodded, "He has a bad temper, basically everyone in the crew who has worked with him will comment like this, but ...... I don't know if you have watched the TV series and movies he has acted in, but he is actually very attentive, staying up late to memorize lines, practicing facial expressions in the mirror, and watching the works of his predecessors to seek breakthroughs...... I can see it all. He was really involved in the show. โ
Zhou listened without questioning, "I believe that he can stand out in the audition, and he will not be without merit." โ
Cui Menghua rubbed his temples and said tiredly: "And...... When he was hidden, I couldn't come forward to help him in time, and I was responsible for this. โ
Pei Ji interjected: "Then why didn't you help him in the first place? With your connections at that time, at least you won't let him fall to the point of being banned." โ
"Of course I can help him. Cui Menghua's tone suddenly became a little anxious, "But his temper and way of doing things, I really don't worry about letting him continue to follow the path of an actor." Maybe he didn't mean it, when we went to school together, he was always favored by girls, and it was difficult not to get into this kind of thing, not to mention that he had always enjoyed it! If I helped him settle this time, then what about next time! What about next time!? There are countless beautiful women in the entertainment industry, who can guarantee that he will never poke out the basket of peach news in the future!? If he becomes famous and brings countless scandals, then everyone will know that Cui Yicheng's private life is chaotic, what will happen to his family? How will I help him then?
Cui Menghua became more and more excited the more he spoke, and finally he reached out to cover his eyes, "What should I do when his reputation is completely rotten...... I'd rather him be an ordinary person who is a bit of a profligate, rather than be a star who is popular all over the mainland by virtue of the relationship between men and women. And most importantly...... At that time, who will judge his own acting skills, and his meaning as an actor will be completely meaningless at that time. โ
Zhou listened and stared at him, and only after a while could he speak, "So...... You choose to let him be completely hidden, and then be a stuntman that no one notices?"
Cui Menghua put down his hand, it seemed that his love had recovered and calmed, although his eyes were slightly red, but there was no sign of crying.
"Yes, that's how I helped him.
Pei Ji was not affected by his heart-wrenching remarks in the slightest, and said calmly: "Then it shouldn't be up to you to make a choice for him, he wants to be an actor himself, where do you have the qualifications to stop it." โ
Cui Menghua raised his head to look at him and retorted: "But whether to help him or not, this is my choice." โ
Pei Ji sneered, "What are you treating as his savior? Are you his father or his mother? Even if he is really like you said at that time, it has nothing to do with you, have you ever thought that maybe he would be happy to do that? Don't you think you have too much control?"
Cui Menghua gritted his teeth, "He doesn't like that, I know." โ
Pei Ji now changed to a sneer, "You know...... You know the. โ
Cui Menghua stared at him for a while, and gradually regained his composure, "Whatever you say, I always feel that you have an opinion about me, and I don't want to argue with you." โ
"I don't want to talk to you yet," Pei Ji was not to be outdone and aggressive, "Then let me ask you, is Cui Yicheng happy now, is he satisfied with your arrangement!?"
Cui Menghua said firmly: "He is very happy and satisfied now. โ
Pei Ji waved his hand mockingly when he heard this, looking too lazy to talk nonsense with him again.
Zhou He listened much softer, and said in a low voice: "This is your family matter, and we have no right to interfere." I'm just a little curious, about the things about Wia......"
Cui Menghua shook his head lightly when he heard this, "I'm also confused, I can't figure out who this matter is aimed at." โ
"Not for you?"
"It's not. I don't remember anyone who has sinned in this crew. โ
Pei Ji interjected: "Maybe it's your cousin's good deeds." โ
Cui Menghua immediately denied it, "It's not him." I talked to him. โ
Zhou Yiting immediately came to his senses, "Have you talked to him?
"Yes. I asked him to go into the nanny car and talk to him alone. Cui Menghua pondered for a moment, "He said he didn't know that this kind of thing would happen. โ
"But he said that day that he had a fever and was on bed rest, are you sure about this?" Zhou asked cautiously.
Cui Menghua lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "You know a lot. Actually, he wasn't sick at all that day. โ
Hearing him say this, even Pei Ji sat up straight.
He said he didn't have a fever at all that day, he was ...... I slept until the afternoon. He didn't wake up at all. โ
