Chapter 17: You're Not Qualified

Zhao Baogang used to be an actor, but in the cast, he was neither handsome nor ugly, even if he was thrown into the performance pile, there was no way for people to recognize him at a glance. However, after becoming a director, Zhao Baogang has an incomprehensible self-confidence, which is accumulated by the "Story of the Editorial Department", "Addicted", "Never Look Away", "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", which are golden signature TV series, so although this Zhao Baogang who appeared in front of Shao Yingying is not outstanding, his eyes are as if he has erased the prosperity of the world.

"Director Zhao, why did you come to me......

Shao Yingying didn't expect such a big man to usher in his house, and this sentence blurted out.

In Shao Yingying's world, Gao Qunshu is already a big man, and it is needless to say how many levels Zhao Baogang is higher than Gao Qunshu now, this is like Ma Ji went to Guo Degang's house, which is not yet famous, and it is completely normal to be flattered.

Gao Qunshu scolded with a smile: "When you meet a master, you don't know the old man? What kind of world is this?? ”

Shao Yingying naturally knew that Gao Qunshu was joking, and said without hesitation: "Director Gao, please come to the house." ”

Two directors rushed in, one sitting in a chair in front of the computer desk, the other sitting directly on the bed. Shao Yingying reacted at this moment and said, "Wait a while, just wait a while." ”

Shao Yingying didn't think that he would come here as a VIP, and Da Liu usually bought drinks from the small shop at the door, so he didn't have tea at home.

Shao Yingying hurriedly went to the tea shop at the door to buy more than two or three hundred yuan of tea leaves, not only did he spend a few hundred yuan in his pocket in the tea shop, but he even took away the warm pot that the boss was drinking water and a few useless clean teacups on credit. People who have not experienced the life of the bottom society can never imagine how many things will be missing in the house of a single man at the bottom, if someone takes a closer look at Shao Yingying's room, they will immediately find that he does not even have a drying rack here, Shao Yingying washes clothes directly on the back of the chair......

Back at the rental house, Shao Yingying made Zhao Baogang a cup of tea with an appropriate amount of tea, and then put a lot of tea leaves in Gao Qunshu's cup and said: "Gao Dao, you like glamorous, what's the matter, is it appropriate?" ”

Gao Qunshu took the teacup and put it on the computer table, glanced at Zhao Baogang and said, "Just like in the crew, I don't have to worry about anything with you." Having said that, his eyes seemed to announce that Shao Yingying was his person, and he was full of maintenance.

Zhao Baogang ignored Gao Qunshu's nervousness, and Lao Cheng said solemnly: "Xiao Shao, I came with Gao Dao today to discuss something with you. ”

Shao Yingying has a hunch that this matter may have something to do with the events at the finale banquet.

"The sample film of "Conquest" has been cut and is being submitted for review, and it will be premiered when it comes back for review, and it will be publicized...... You also know that if a TV series without stars doesn't have some strange tricks, the press conference alone won't make any waves, and even if I appear in person at the press conference, it may not be effective......"

Listening to Zhao Baogang's mouth-spitting and seductive words, Shao Yingying responded: "So, Director Zhao wants to take advantage of what happened at the finale banquet, right?" ”

Zhao Baogang pointed at Shao Yingying with an appreciative look, but turned his head to Gao Qunshu and said, "Director Gao, you have a treasure." ”

Without waiting for Gao Qunshu to respond, Zhao Baogang continued: "That's right, my plan is that when the film is reviewed, I will find the media to find out about this matter." ”

"Hype." Gao Qunshu said these two words with a little disdain.

Zhao Baogang said as a matter of course: "It's hype." The hype is divided into three steps, first, spread this matter, after this matter goes out, everyone will sympathize with Li Xinyue, and in the wave of scolding Meng Yang across the country, the attention of this film will reach its peak; Secondly, focusing on portraying Meng Yang's ugly face, how to deceive, how dirty will appear on the important pages of major newspapers, and the hype will fall back a little at this time; In the end, Xiao Shao, what you said at the finale banquet will be passed out word for word, and the whole incident will turn around, and the most sympathetic people will be drowned out in the scolding, and the real hero ......" Zhao Baogang stretched out his finger and pointed at Shao Yingying and said: "It will be remembered by everyone." ”

When Shao Yingying heard this, he glanced at Gao Qunshu, and saw Gao Qunshu looking at his nose and nose, and his nose and heart, and he didn't say anything anymore.

"What about Li Xinyue?" Shao Yingying asked.

"Since it's hype, there will be sacrifices, Li Xinyue has already paid so much, I have no reason to pit her. I will give her a contract for Xin Baoyuan for three years, including five film contracts, one female number two, and no one can say whether she can survive in the end. Zhao Baogang seems to have thought everything through.

Shao Yingying asked again: "What about Meng Yang?" ”

Zhao Baogang smiled and said, "Shouldn't those who make mistakes be punished?" ”

Shao Yingying continued to ask: "What about me?" ”

"Of course, you will win everyone's attention in the shortest possible time, and the increase in attention means that there will be new film appointments, as long as you are playing a few loud films, you may not get less than Xin Baoyuan."

Zhao Baogang thought for a while and added: "Of course, you are very talented, this is the key, but you have to understand that talent can only have chemistry when it encounters opportunities." If you want, Xin Bao Yuan will prepare everything for you, you can sign a contract with Xin Bao Yuan, have a professional agent, have a stable amount of films, plus your talent, you should know that such you, in the near future will appear at various award ceremonies. ”

Shao Yingying glanced at Gao Qunshu again, Gao Qunshu lowered his head and drank tea, didn't hear it, and didn't say anything.

Zhao Baogang thought that Shao Yingying had already been moved, and fanned the flames: "You don't have to have any psychological burden, this is the entertainment industry, and nothing is new when something happens." If you think about it carefully, if this matter is poked out, Li Xinyue will not be a deceived person who will not get anything after giving her body, at least there will be a contract as compensation; Meng Yang should have been punished; And you and Xin Baoyuan have done a push in this matter to maximize the benefits, which is understandable. ”

Shao Yingying's flattered appearance when he saw Zhao Baogang disappear, his face gradually sank, and slowly, a smile appeared on his face, a very calm smile.

"Director Zhao, I want to say something from my heart, I hope I won't offend you."

Shao Yingying said: "I have always respected you, in that era when there were no scandals to stir up, you have come to this day, which is completely incredible." When you said that, I always thought something was wrong, but now, I finally figured it out. ”

"It's actually very simple, but you're wrong. Yes, according to what you said, Xin Baoyuan and I can maximize their interests, and the "Conquest" after the review can be hyped at will under strong connections, but I want to ask, why is Xin Baoyuan? Zhao Baogang was stunned, Shao Yingying didn't let him open his mouth at all and continued: "Director Zhao, don't you think that Xin Baoyuan is the only one in this matter who is not qualified to hype?" Li Xinyue called the police to make this matter known to the world, it can be said that she was wronged, and she wants an explanation; Meng Yang's initiative to surrender can be said to be guilty; Even me, Gao Dao, and Sun Honglei can tell this matter, because at that time, Li Xinyue slandered us for having something to do with this matter, and we have to be innocent. ”

"Director Zhao, you, why did you poke this matter out? If you want your crew to never have a similar incident, then I admire you, but it's not like this. ”

"I'm not despised for your approach, hype is normal in the entertainment industry, and you can even do it yourself without notifying anyone. But Li Xinyue is not a signed artist of Xin Baoyuan, at least not yet, you give Li Xinyue a big cake that she didn't even get out of her body, can she still think about it? Now it has been more than two months since the finale, and the fact that this matter has not been spread on a large scale in the media proves that Li Xinyue has figured it out, she is not willing to be accused by thousands of people for fame and fortune, even if she can gain attention as a 'broken shoe', she has to consider it for her family. Even if there are many women in this circle who are willing to do this, Li Xinyue's performance has proved that she is unwilling! ”

Shao Yingying sighed: "We little people at the bottom of the entertainment industry are like boats floating in the sea, we have no engine, no propellers, as long as the monstrous waves set off by Xin Baoyuan are not well controlled, everyone will be doomed, and it is possible that we will not even have a chance to turn over." Director Zhao, why is this? Just because we're not aircraft carriers that can stabilize the hull in a storm? ”

"The most important thing is that no one in this world can control public opinion, in case the people who don't know everything are completely uncontrolled in the hype process to point the blame at the top of the crew, what should you do with director Gao Qunshu? All the ordinary people bite to death and say that Gao Qunshu's lax supervision is good, if you have to spray it with spittle stars Gao Qunshu has a leg here, how many mouths can we have to scold them on the street? Even if you can scold it, do you think the people of radio and television are helping the people or the distributors? ”

"Also, what should Li Xinyue do? Yes, she has a film contract, may I ask what use does the film contract have for her after this kind of thing? What role can a broken shoe play that can make the audience look without colored glasses? Are Li Xinyue's parents still alive in their hometown? ”

"Director Zhao, I'm sorry, I can't accept your proposal. It's not for justice, it's that I don't want to accept manipulation and ruin everything with my own hands, I don't want to. That's not how I became famous, perhaps, it's because I can't accept that for many years to come, fans will know me because of a scandal and not because of my acting skills. ”

Zhao Baogang sighed and said, "Xiao Shao, this is a very good opportunity, are you ...... By the way, I heard that you are not only very talented in acting and screenwriting, but also have very management skills, I am recently filming a TV series called "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", and there is a lack of an assistant director, are you interested? If we work well together, I will take you to build a group in the next play, which is a rare opportunity. ”

Shao Yingying shook his head: "Director Zhao, this matter has completely changed its flavor as soon as it is stirred, and I can't twist my heart." ”

"Young people, many times there is only one chance to reach the sky, and if you lose this opportunity, you will face success that you will not be able to achieve if you fail 10,000 times, and you should know the things in this circle."

Shao Yingying nodded indifferently: "I understand." However, the more failures you have, the more you prove that success is precious. "He is like a steel bar that would rather be bent than bend, as hard as a reckless man who is willing to snort when a bone is broken.

Shao Yingying doesn't know that he has slowly buried the temperament of a tough guy in his heart, and a tough guy will not put people in a sack and knock a stuffy stick, that doesn't fit the plot!

In fact, Shao Yingying has already issued an eviction order, but he said it more politely.

Zhao Baogang got up and left without any expression, and then the sound of the car starting at the mouth of the alley came, and the sound of the car running over the land gradually faded away, and finally, everything returned to calm.

Gao Qunshu changed his state, and said with an expression of appreciation on his face: "Xiao Shao, you didn't disappoint me, I would have guessed that you would answer like this." ”

"Director Gao, in fact, this matter should be the biggest for you, you are likely to become famous, why do you refuse?"

Gao Qunshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Hmph, you forgot "Thirteen Murders"? ”

Shao Yingying almost suffocated to death without taking a breath, and gave up such a good opportunity because of such a trivial matter...... Gao Qunshu is really an unpredictable and bandit director.

Gao Qunshu paused and said, "Xiao Shao, you really don't regret it?" Signing a contract and building a group, you can follow Zhao Baogang to ...... This should be something that no one of your level would dare to think of. ”

"yes, it looks like I lost that opportunity. However, Director Gao, before I see you again, don't I have any chances? But I'm not tired in my heart, if I do this, I won't be able to see you, Sun Honglei, Zhao Baogang, Li Xinyue and anyone in our crew in my life, otherwise I can shame myself to death. ”

"Losing is not necessarily a bad thing...... Gao Qunshu smiled conspiratorily: "Xiao Shao, you haven't been idle these days, have you?" It's definitely tinkering with the script again. Hurry up and show it to me, if the book still has the quality of "Conquest", our crew should also prepare. ”

"Ours?" Shao Yingying glanced up at Gao Qunshu.

Gao Qunshu played with taste: "Losing the big Buddha of Zhao Baogang, may I ask Mr. Shao Yingying if he is willing to continue to make a TV series with me, a little director?" Investment is not a problem, I know more than one Xin Baoyuan in the capital. ”

Shao Yingying smiled and smiled happily: "Director Gao drinks?" ”

"Drink some, Director Shao." Gao Qunshu got up and walked out of the door with a big belly.
