36. Newcomer

Zhou Huai has to play this drama from the age of eighteen to the age of seventy-two, with a large age span, which can be said to be the heaviest scene since his debut. So before joining the crew, he worked hard to study the script, figure out the psychology of the characters, and conducted a month-long special training on lines, which can be said to have put a lot of effort into this role.

Fortunately, the efforts put in were not in vain, after the initial adaptation period, Zhou Huai quickly adapted to the role, especially the interpretation of the male protagonist in his youth, which can be described as proficient.

Because the plot requires the role of Zhou Huai to have a lot of martial arts parts in the play, Zhou Huai's literary drama is good, but there is no foundation in martial arts, and after several trade-offs, the director arranged a martial arts substitute for him. It just so happened that because of the time arrangement, Zhou Huai was in Group A, and the Wu Ti was assigned to Group C, so it wasn't until a third of the filming of the TV series that Zhou Huai saw his Wu Ti for the first time.

This Wu Ti looks like he is only in his early twenties, although he is slender and looks about the same height as Zhou Huai, but his face is very small, and he can almost pinch out the water. He was obviously very happy to see Zhou Huai, and greeted him politely and slightly crampedly: "Hello Brother Zhou, my name is Yao Mingyi." ”

"Hello," Zhou Huai smiled at him: "I've seen your martial arts, it's outstanding, thank you." ”

Yao Mingyi obviously showed a little surprised expression on his face, obviously he didn't expect Zhou Huai to be so kind. Normally, the male protagonist of a play doesn't bother to talk to a stand-in at all, let alone have such a kind attitude, which makes him a little surprised and a little nervous at the same time.

Zhou Huai treats him so kindly, on the one hand, because he is so natural, and on the other hand, because Yao Mingyi is not only his own martial arts substitute, but also plays a small role, he has seen Yao Mingyi's performance, although there are not many scenes, but it is obviously very attentive. He has always had a good impression of dedicated people.

When Shen Jia came to visit the class, Zhou Huai inadvertently mentioned Yao Mingyi to her, and was a little curious about how such an actor with excellent appearance conditions and good acting conditions only took on a small role.

"His play is good, the four men who auditioned before have already passed," Shen Jia looked normal: "Later, he was cut off." ”

Zhou Huai's brows furrowed slightly.

Lin Qingquan, the fourth male in this play, is a little-known face, Zhou Huai is not exclusive to newcomers, after all, he is also from newcomers, but this newcomer obviously did not put his mind on the script, so his impression of him is not good.

"Don't underestimate this Lin Qingquan, don't look at him who looks pure and harmless, he has a lot of means, and he easily pried the fourth male here."

Shen Jia glanced at Lin Qingquan in the distance, he had been in the circle for so long, what kind of thing had he never seen, some people knew what kind of tricks he had just by swiping it. Let's just say that this Lin Qingquan looks pure, but at first glance, he is not a simple character, he is definitely the master who does everything for the sake of profit.

Not to mention anything else, if the little white rabbit in his family who has no scheming and is too lazy to use his scheming really fights with him, he will be the master of abuse. But now he is just a small shrimp character, and he can't make any waves, and Zhou Huai is protected by himself and his own boss, so he can't move a bit.

So Shen Jia didn't take him to heart, so he casually ordered: "Stay away from him, don't worry about it." ”

Zhou Huai didn't have a good impression of Lin Qingquan, and nodded casually.

At noon, Zhou Huai had just finished work when he received a call from Bo Jinxi. He clutched his ringing phone in his hand, and was a little hesitant whether to press the call button.

After he returned to the crew last night, he received a call from Bo Mingcheng, asking him how he was doing recently and whether he had eaten three meals a day on time. I also regret that I didn't go back to Bo's house the night before because of something, otherwise I could still meet my little grandson who I haven't seen for a long time.

Zhou Huai held the mobile phone and felt weak for a while, Bo Mingcheng regarded him as a relative, but he almost slept with his grandson, no matter what.

Besides, he knew how much Bo Mingcheng hoped that Bo Jinxi would marry and have children, how could he be so sorry for him.

After such a delay, the ringing of the phone in his hand stopped.

Zhou Huai looked at Bo Jinxi's phone number on the mobile phone screen, and was at a loss in his heart. He thought that time was a good medicine to cure a qiē, but he didn't expect that some things would only last for a long time after the precipitation of time.

After hesitating, Bo Jinxi's phone dialed again. Zhou Huai looked at the phone in his hand and had a headache, he always had to face it, and he couldn't keep running away.

So his throat moved, and he connected the phone anyway.

"Brother."

Bo Jinxi's voice sounded in a good mood: "Just drop by, let's have a light meal together at noon." ”

Zhou Huai looked at the time, and it was indeed time for lunch: "That...... Don't bother, I'm ......."

"Just drop by."

Zhou Huai was silent for a while, and Bo Jinxi didn't urge him, just waited quietly.

Zhou Huai hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Okay." ”

"Send me your address."

Zhou Huai raised his eyebrows: What about the good way? Your skills in making up nonsense can actually be improved a little more.

He sneered for a few seconds, but gave his address.

It took more than 40 minutes for Bo Jinxi to drive to the filming location of Zhou Huai, and at this time Zhou Huai was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and the two went to a nearby restaurant.

Zhou Huai is a frequent visitor here, and he ordered a few dishes without even reading the menu, most of which Bo Jinxi liked.

"Busy morning?" Kung Fu Zhou Huai, who was waiting for the food to be served, asked casually while helping Bo Jinxi iron the tableware.

"Okay, there's a negotiation."

"I'm going to go to Yunnan for filming in the later stage of this play, and I can't go back for a while......" Zhou Huai raised his eyes and smiled at Bo Jinxi: "Please talk to grandpa." ”

"Go back tonight and talk to him yourself," Bo Jinxi also looked at Zhou Huai: "Otherwise, I have to pack my luggage." ”

"No, the luggage has been sorted out this morning, and the plane the day after tomorrow, the crew has been catching up with the schedule recently, and I can't spare time."

Bo Jinxi was silent for a moment and said, "Whatever." ”

Zhou Huai subconsciously clenched the teapot handle in his hand, and felt that his heart was beating like a drum, so he ...... So be it! It's good for each other to stay away, he doesn't have much confidence in his self-control, this time it's an attempt, maybe he will really deal with Bo Jinxi next time.

Thinking of the look Bo Mingcheng might have when he learned of the chaotic relationship between the two, he wanted to die.

After Bo Jinxi sent Zhou Huai back to the film and television base to leave, Zhou Huai let out a long breath, and the meal he had with Bo Jinxi made him physically and mentally exhausted, more tired than filming two scenes in a row.

*******

Soon more than half a month passed, and when Zhou Huai came back again, he got a very shocking news - Lin Qingquan somehow climbed the big tree of Xue Mingzong.

Xue Mingzong has always been generous to the people who follow him, and Gu Pei was forced to smash red with a large amount of money. Now that Lin Qingquan has climbed into such a big money owner, the market is naturally rising, and a large amount of good resources are rolling in, and he even got a charity night invitation from a top fashion magazine through the identity of Xue Mingzong.

Zhou Huai learned from Shen Jia that Lin Qingquan would also attend the charity night when he was trying on the dress, and he was immediately stunned: "Lin Qingquan? ”

"Yes, it's amazing, it's only been a few days, and I've got all the invitations for Charity Night." Shen Jia was helping Zhou Huai sort out his bow tie and replied, "But I have more interesting news." ”

Zhou Huai raised his head slightly, which was convenient for Shen Jia's movements: "What?" ”

"Tonight's charity night Gu Pei will also go," she threw a wink at Zhou Huai: "When the time comes, the main palace will be opposite the side room, and you will have to see it." ”

Zhou Huai frowned slightly when he heard the title of 'Zhenggong', although he had already heard about Gu Pei's relationship with Xue Mingzong from Zhang Ming, he had a gut feeling that Gu Pei was not the kind of person who would betray himself for profit.

In fact, not only Shen Jia, but many people were curious about Xue Mingzong's move. Although Xue Mingzong has not broken the people around him, it is obvious that those people cannot shake Gu Pei's status, not only cannot be shaken, but they cannot even be compared. Xue Mingzong also gave Gu Pei enough face, and never let these warblers and Yanyan appear in front of him.

However, now he asked Lin Qingquan to participate in the charity night, knowing that Gu Pei was also invited. Many people are speculating whether this is a sign that Gu Pei is no longer favored by Xue Mingzong.

Zhou Huai didn't think about it that much, he was just happy to be able to see Gu Pei at the charity banquet, he hadn't met him since that reality show, and he really missed it.

On the night of the charity night, Lin Qingquan walked on the red carpet with Xue Mingzong, and the two attracted the attention of the audience as soon as they appeared, and many people were amazed at the same time, but also secretly compared this new upstart with Gu Pei in their hearts.

The gorgeous clothes on Lin Qingquan's body are obviously worth a lot of money, but I don't know if it's because he was a little nervous to attend such a big event for the first time, and his whole aura was very uncontrollable, and his smile was slightly embarrassing. But regardless of whether he has aura or not, a new favorite is a new favorite, and being able to walk the red carpet with Xue Mingzong is obviously very important to this gold owner. You must know that since Gu Pei followed Xue Mingzong, no one has ever had such an honor.

The red carpet between Xue Mingzong and Lin Qingquan ignited the curiosity of many people, and everyone was looking forward to seeing what kind of face Gu Pei would have.

Gu Pei is finale, he attended the red carpet in a slim black dress, with elegant posture and luxurious manners, a pair of standard peach blossom eyes killed countless films, not only did he not suffer a little bit of the blow and depression that people expected, but he seemed to be in a good mood, which couldn't help but disappoint some people who wanted to see his jokes.

After Gu Pei walked across the red carpet, he walked towards the main hall with his steps, and it happened that his seat was next to Zhou Huai, Gu Pei was obviously very happy to see Zhou Huai, and greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see, little Zhou Huai." ”

Zhou Huai also smiled at him: "Brother Gu." ”

"How's it going?" Gu Pei looked at Zhou Huai with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles: "I heard that I have been filming recently?" ”

"Yes, a period drama."

"I've been chasing the two plays you before, but I'm usually too busy, and I haven't finished watching it yet, hey," he pretended to sigh: "It's much better than my acting skills." ”

Zhou Huai smiled: "Brother Gu, you are too modest. ”

"I'm not modest, I'm just acting in idol dramas, at most reality shows, and you know that my roles are bought with money."

Although this is an open secret in the circle, Gu Pei is so straightforward and frank, Zhou Huai can't help laughing.

The two chatted for a while, Zhou Huai could always feel that there were people around him who couldn't stop looking at this side, he knew that these people didn't say anything, but in fact, they had been preparing to watch Pei's good show in their hearts.

Fortunately, the auction began soon, and most of the guests shifted their attention to the stage, and those eyes who were secretly looking at Gu Pei gradually retracted.

The first lot was a beautifully carved fibre jade carving, with a starting price of 2.1 million yuan. Zhou Huai was very interested in art collection because of Bo Mingcheng's edification of him when he was a child, and at this time, his eyes couldn't help but show a look of interest.

Gu Pei keenly caught the look in his eyes, leaned slightly closer to him, and asked in a low voice, "Interested?" ”

Zhou Huai also lowered his voice: "The carving is good." ”

"I guess it's the only thing that is interesting in this one," Gu Pei said: "The auctions here are all gimmicks, and they are not interesting." There's a private auction recently, and it's pretty good, so I'll leave you a seat if you're interested. ”

"Thank you," Zhou Huai smiled: "It's a pity that I am shy." ”

While the two were talking, this fiber jade carving had been auctioned by a buyer surnamed Huang, and then several collections were sold one after another.

At this time, the sixth auction item of the charity auction was presented: the Dragon's Kiss Jewelry Necklace, and Gu Pei also raised the number plate in time. He didn't like the auction much at all, it was just for the sake of tonight's mission.

In the end, the auction was auctioned by Gu Pei at a price of 780,000 yuan, and Zhou Huai also auctioned off a brand's gorgeous evening wear at a useless price of 250,000 yuan.

After the auction was over, there was a charity dinner, Zhou Huai was still at the same table with Gu Pei, while Lin Qingquan accompanied Xue Mingzong to sit at another table far away from the two.

At this time, Zhou Huai finally had time to look at the legendary wealthy businessman Xue Mingzong, because the distance was far away, and his position was facing the other party, Zhou Huai could only see the outline of a concubine.

Although it is called a charity dinner, almost no one's mind is on the dinner, and many people's hearts are the same as Zhou Huai, their eyes are on Lin Qingquan and Gu Pei.

Before I knew it, the dinner was already halfway over, and many people were already slightly drunk, and some people began to move their seats. At this time, Xue Mingzong got up, signaled to the people around him, and walked in the direction of the bathroom.

Not long after he left, Lin Qingquan suddenly walked towards Gu Pei with a glass of wine.
