Chapter 2: The World of Thorns

A male voice interjected abruptly, "Princess Huayue is so difficult, isn't it good to come to my side, eldest sister?" Dong Tianxue didn't know when he secretly came behind them, which made Gu Lian and Sister Ming startled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Sister Ming, I haven't seen you for a while, you are young again, I really should let my eldest sister Gu learn from you." Dong Tianxue familiarly put his left hand on Gu Lian, and put his right hand on Sister Ming's shoulder, showing a professional handsome smile.

Sister Ming, who has been rumored to have picked up countless handsome guys in the entertainment industry, didn't eat him, and raised her hand to knock out the hand of the Tianjiao star who many girls dreamed of shaking the hand of the Tianjiao star who had no regrets in her life, "You are not much better than Princess Huayue, ugly words are ahead, don't make trouble for me, and I won't let him feel better if I enter Huayue." ”

Dong Tianxue pouted innocently, "Hmph, it's only been a few days since I entered Huayue, and Sister Ming is about to attack me." Don't worry, the most distressed person in Huayue is Sister Ming, how can I be willing to upset you? "It's good to be young and handsome, and Sister Ming's face is happy.

Gu Lian sneered inwardly and watched Dong Tianxue's acting skills. wanted to leave, but was tightly clamped by Dong Tianxue's handbands, she was really angry, she raised her high heels and stepped on Dong Tianxue fiercely.

This guy is wearing a pair of backless pointed scalp shoes from a luxury brand today, and the exposed instep is just a few centimeters of hard blowing. Dong Tianxue let go of his hand, shook his head and walked in a circle for a few steps, trying his best to hold back so as not to grin in pain and make an expression that would damage the image of the star.

Seeing his ghostly appearance, Gu Lian's mood was better.

Coming to the food buffet area, Gu Lian couldn't help but start looking for the person who wanted to take a few more glances just now. Chenxing was still in that corner, exuding a strong aura that no one could approach. In this place surrounded by celebrities, he is considered to be the most unpopular star, even if a few people notice Chenxing, they casually exchange their heads and ears, and after knowing that he is Mo Wanlin's new love, they will often cast a disdainful glance again. That kind of feeling is uncomfortable for outsiders like Gu Lian, let alone Chenxing himself?

After all, he is the idol he once cared about so much, and he is the one who once put his friend Pei Yueyue on the tip of his heart and wants him to be happy day and night. Even if there is no relationship now, Gu Lian doesn't like his current situation.

Unconsciously, Gu Lian slowly moved along the long table in the self-service area towards Chenxing.

A figure ran to Chenxing's side like a gust of wind, it was Mo Wanlin, her face was full of joy. "Great, Terecen (Chenxing's English name, homonym Trunson), do you know what Director Li Zeren promised me just now?"

Ignoring Chenxing's slightly frowning brows, Mo Wanlin almost jumped to say the answer, "He said that he could consider letting you play a role in his next movie "Allure", and let you wait for the audition notice after a while!" That happy look is even happier than her own role as the heroine.

Gu Lian secretly smacked his tongue, known as the national treasure-level director Li Zeren's new work in preparation - the movie "Alluring the Country" is a hot topic in the entertainment industry recently, since the rumors, large and small brokerage companies, star artists, but anyone with a little connection, all sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze into the crew, and it is rumored that the threshold of director Li Zeren's family is about to be broken.

In the film and television industry, where the decision of the crew has become the mainstream dominated by investors, Li Zeren can be regarded as one of the few big directors who have absolute decision-making power over crew affairs. In his movies, all the actors are finalized by him, and the investor wants to stuff people, if Li Zeren thinks that the role is not suitable, he will never give face. Due to the large investment in the film this time and the fact that the shooting funds came from various sources, Li Zeren was under more pressure than ever.

At present, the film is still in the early stage of preparation, and has not officially entered the casting stage, but the competition for roles has reached a white-hot level, simply put, there is no company support or there are not enough backstage artists, if you want to have a chance to audition, Li Zeren will not even consider it, only one sentence "The film has not been prepared yet, and casting will not be considered for the time being". And Mo Wanlin easily won an audition opportunity promised by Li Zeren for an outdated artist under such circumstances, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for Chenxing to have such an opportunity according to the convention, and it is no wonder that Huayue Company offered her as a princess.

At this time, Gu Lian found that it was not that he was sensitive, there was a small commotion in the place where the artists gathered in the hall, and many female stars who were scratching their heads and posing even cast a revealing gaze in the direction where Mo Wanlin and Chen Xing were. For many artists who are still struggling to fight for any small role in "Allure", this kind of news is tantamount to explosive news, and it should have spread all over the hall in an instant. The so-called jealousy is not a thing for men and women, and it is not just for the same sex. If Mo Wanlin's status makes people envy her more, then Chenxing bears more jealousy. Who makes the entertainment industry a more realistic circle than anywhere else.

has no connections, no company, outdated and no impressive works for several years, such an artist has gotten to the top of the sky in one step and got the opportunity that others asked for, why?

Gu Lian couldn't be clearer about this psychology.

However, these are nothing to artists who want to succeed and do whatever it takes to get ahead. Only successful people have the qualifications to make others look up to them, envy, envy and hate.

Success achieved by relying on the opportunities given by others is also success.

Gu Lian thinks that Chenxing shouldn't let go of this opportunity, obviously, he himself needs this opportunity to take the position, otherwise he should be forgotten by others if he continues to mess around like this, right?

But the understanding of Chenxing in the past is still deep in her bones, and the character that Gu Lian once admired was only realized how naïve she was after she grew up and came to society. People change. At that time, she hoped that this naivety in Chenxing would never change, and now, she hoped that he had changed in this regard, and now she will not be disappointed at all, but will be gratified. Change is necessary if you want to survive better in this circle.

Since human nature is selfish, everyone has the right to do whatever it takes to live their lives, and no one has the right to stand on the moral high ground and look down on others. If it is excessive, there will be a punishment in the law.

Gu Lian turned around, not wanting to see Mo Wanlin's performance towards Chenxing's invitation, but his ears were sensitive to catch any sound coming from that direction.

"I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, but I'm not going." It was Chenxing's voice, so cold and polite.

It's such a scene, it turns out to be such a rejection.

Gu Lian remembered a long time ago, when she and Pei Yueyue were not deeply involved in the world, at that time they chatted online, all the topics were about Chenxing, talking about his songs, talking about his career, talking about the difficulties he would encounter, talking about the unspeakable rules of the entertainment industry that he would reject, imagining how he would proudly reject those people and things he didn't like.

However, when she saw it with her own eyes, her mood had changed so much that she would no longer be moved or proud of such a refusal. There is only a faint mood that wants to laugh.

The smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and Gu Lian put down the food tray in his hand, wanting to watch this rare dramatic scene. I didn't eat the swan meat in my hand, is this guy crazy or hopelessly stupid? I believe that many people present at this time have the same thoughts in their hearts as her.

Sure enough, Mo Wanlin's face was hard to see and almost blue.

"What did you say?" In the words of each word, the onlooker could hear that there were sparks bubbling out.

No matter how sluggish the person was, he sensed the unusual atmosphere around him, Chenxing looked at the surrounding situation, smiled gentlemanly, and said a lot more tactfully, "I said, this topic can be discussed later." ”

Sister Ming saw that the situation was wrong, and shouted the name of a certain actress in a loud voice, attracting everyone's attention with another topic. The people present were all such elves, they naturally got off the donkey down the slope, and changed their focus before Mo Wanlin went crazy, temporarily relieving her little embarrassment.

"Well, think about it yourself, I have something to do, so I won't greet you." Mo Wanlin looked at Chenxing for a moment, and finally nodded haughtily and walked away with her back to him.

Gu Lian looked at Chenxing's indifferent appearance, and his thoughts were complicated.

"Hey, I heard that Yu Youjia, the vice president of Huayue, and Mo Wanlin are childhood sweethearts like brothers and sisters, why didn't you see him tonight? Many people say that he is a high-quality single man, I haven't seen it, and I'm quite curious, and an important purpose of coming here today is to appreciate the demeanor of this high-quality man. Suddenly, several women passed by, holding wine glasses and talking, and a tall female artist looked at the scene, hoping to see the rumored "high-quality single man".

A woman in an older grade seemed to be a more informed person, interrupting the hopes of a tall female artist, "Don't think about it." That handsome guy Jin Gui is Jin Gui, but his health is not very good, and he doesn't often appear on such occasions. Mo Wanlin just had a good relationship with him, so she didn't have to come to this hypocrisy, they must have been angry with each other before. ”

Yu Youjia? Suddenly hearing this name, Gu Lian was stunned, and a warmth inexplicably rose in his heart. The ears are erected, paying more attention to the conversation over there.

"Hmph, now you only know one and don't know the other." A young woman dressed in a slightly shorter red dress smirked, "According to a friend of mine at Huayue Company, she just saw that the vice president of the company had attended the regular management meeting and did not stay to eat with many high-level executives as before, because she wanted to come to Mo Wanlin's birthday party. Now, it's probably on the way, and it's coming soon. Originally, my first choice tonight was Zhao Gongzi, who was said to have Manchu noble blood, but now I have to decisively replace it with this Yu Gongzi who has the reputation of 'Huayue's No. 1 luxury diamond man'......"

Without waiting for the shorter woman to become self-absorbed, the other women who were listening to her laughed at her delusions and secretly vowed to capture the child.

What the? Will Yu Youjia come? Gu Lian couldn't hear other people's words anymore, and only had this information in his mind, and then subconsciously wanted to leave the scene quickly and rush to the bathroom to see what was wrong with his makeup. She didn't expect that Youjia would come to such an occasion, but when she heard it, she seemed surprised and happy.

"This eldest lady is holding back the fire and has nowhere to vent her anger, who do you guess will be the unlucky guy?" Dong Tianxue unexpectedly appeared beside Gu Lian again, smiling and full of danger.

Gu Lian took a step back, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart, this guy! I couldn't be clearer about his little belly chicken intestines.

"Dong Daxing, I can still walk now, it seems that my foot is not heavy enough." Gu Lian didn't want to show weakness.

Dong Tianxue picked up Gu Lian's chin with one hand and let go before Gu Lian struggled, "I'll let you see how serious the consequences are, Sister Gu." ”

Dong Tianxue left Gu Lian and walked towards the angry dangerous figure Mo Wanlin.

Gu Lian felt bad, she wanted to smear the soles of her feet with oil, but before she took a few steps, she was surrounded by a group of little stars and asked for warmth, which firmly trapped her at the scene. Of course, Gu Lian didn't forget that these people were acquaintances and friends who Dong Tianxue had greeted one by one before. glanced at Dong Tianxue's back resentfully, still wanting to rush left and right in the crowd, fighting for trapped beasts.

Dong Tianxue said hello to Mo Wanlin, and whispered to her that she didn't know what to say, Mo Wanlin's eyes flashed with cold light after hearing this, and she glanced straight at Gu Lian.

Then, Mo Wanlin strode towards Gu Lian.

Looking at her menacing appearance, the little stars who surrounded Gu Lian scattered in a hurry. Dong Tianxue followed behind, looking like he was watching a good show.

Gu Lian was worried about what Yu Youjia was coming, and the more she wanted to break free from the encirclement of others, the more she couldn't take a single step, and she could only watch Mo Wanlin get closer and closer to her.

Mo Wanlin came to Gu Lian, and this was the first time she looked at her. Gu Lian was furious by her, and was about to speak, Mo Wanlin casually picked up a wine glass on the table and spilled all the red wine in it on her with a snap.

The audience was in an uproar.

"You're the guy who came up with the idea to do a show with my poster board two years ago? He looks so old, I didn't even recognize it just now. I said then, don't let me see you again, or you won't know what it will be next time. Last time it was water, this time it was red wine, what do you hope for next time? Mo Wanlin looked angry, turned her head and shouted, "Sister Ming! ”

Sister Ming came to her in surprise and responded, "Alice, what's wrong?" ”

"I was just about to ask you what's wrong with you trying to stuff such a person into me! Tell you, if this person is allowed to enter Huayue, I will terminate the contract with Huayue tomorrow!"

Gu Lian was stunned on the spot. The red liquid was dripping from his hair, and he must have looked very embarrassed. She kept her head down, unable to look up, unable to let others see her plea gaze. swept away, how many people were gloating, how many people were in the mood to watch the show, and how many people were indifferent. The world is so cold. I'm not even qualified to complain. Because I am convinced that when this kind of thing happens to others, I can do the same thing as everyone else.

The world is full of cold thorns, everyone has been hurt, and everyone will be insensitive to hurt others.

Eventually, everyone will become the thorny thorn.

Cold, very cold, from the inside out, Gu Lian felt cold. But the first thought in her mind was, leave! Leave as soon as possible, at all costs, even if it's like a lost dog. In any case, it would be better than letting Yu Youjia see her embarrassed appearance now.

Sister Ming apologized to Mo Wanlin again and again, "It's because I didn't think it through, this company didn't make a decision, if you don't like it, don't look for her." Gu Lian hasn't signed a contract with Huayue yet, I can guarantee it. ”

Mo Wanlin was still angry, and glanced at the artists around her, "If anyone still wants to use this guy, let me meet me in the future, I can't guarantee that I won't do anything." ”

It's really a superfluous sentence, after all, it's the eldest lady. Gu Lian was surprised that he was still in the mood to sneer at this time. Even if you don't say this, you are so humiliated by Miss Mo at the banquet, who is willing to hire yourself into the brokerage team among those big stars with heads and faces? The entertainment industry says that it is not small, but it is not big, and when I met acquaintances gossiping with each other, who and whose agent had been splashed with wine by Miss Mo, isn't it humiliating? The brokerage invitations of several first-line stars at hand before must have been lost. A small agent is nothing, it's a big deal to find it again. They all think so, and they should. This is the most practical consideration.

Dong Tianxue couldn't laugh a little. He didn't expect Mo Wanlin to have such a big temper, although he was the initiator. The original intention was to think that Mo Wanlin would use Gu Lian as a punching bag and come forward to solve the siege by herself, so Gu Lian was also worried about human affection, and she didn't obediently return to her side to be her nanny and agent as always. Seeing Gu Lian's expressionless face in the cold onlookers of everyone, he didn't feel good in his heart, and hesitated to take a step.

It's already been preempted.

In the extremely cold feeling, Gu Lian's hand was tightly grasped, and the person's body temperature was transmitted on his hand, which was scorchingly warm. Gu Lian looked up in surprise, only to see the person's beautifully curved jaw.

"If there's anything about her that upsets you, I apologize to you for her, Miss Mo." The cold tone, the polite voice, is Chenxing.

"You apologize for her, why? Who is she? Mo Wanlin's anger that was about to be calmed down was stirred up again.

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lian, who was still surprised, hesitated, squeezed her hand, and said to Mo Wanlin firmly, "She may be my next agent." ”
