As soon as Xiao Yi got off the plane, he received a text message from Du Mei, asking him to go back to Beijing and come to the company first.

Xiao Yi went back to the company first, and saw Wu Henggu standing in the corridor talking with a person, so he greeted Wu Henggu, and Wu Henggu did not squint.

"Jinmao Mouse Flying Lynx" was released during the Spring Festival, and the ratings broke 2%, and Wu Henggu became popular in an instant, and all the people on Weibo were discussing him, Xiao Yi thought to himself, Wu Henggu was finally boiled up, he was once chased and pinched by Lu Zhou and Li Changzheng's fans every day, and the fate of Lu Zhou made him the most, if it weren't for Lu Zhou's almost crippled, Wu Henggu was still playing his small supporting role at this time.

Xiao Yi thought that Wu Henggu hadn't seen it, and greeted him with a smile.

Xiao Yi: "Brother Wu! ”

Wu Henggu glanced at him squintly, with this expression, Xiao Yi instantly became irritable, and roared angrily in his heart, You tug your hair!

"Xiao Yi." Lin Yao heard his voice and opened the door to beckon him in.

Xiao Yi dragged the box in, Du Mei was on the phone, and when he saw Xiao Yi coming, he finished in two or three sentences.

"Lu Zhou terminated the contract with the company and went to Canada for recuperation." Dume said.

Xiao Yi didn't expect that he would also be fired from the midfield one day. He was really stunned in front of Du Mei, and couldn't say a word for a long time, if life is a play, then in this scene, the director's camera must all be on Xiao Yi's face, with Du Mei's voiceover.

His expression went from shocked to dazed, tears welled up in his eyes, and only one sentence rang repeatedly in his mind - how could this be? How so......

He subconsciously thought that Du Mei was joking with him, but no, Du Mei's voice was far away and close for a while, making Xiao Yi feel that the entire world had completely abandoned him.

"When Lu Zhou left, he said, let you stay in the company for development, I signed you for three years before, in the name of a personal assistant, you have been with him for a year and a half, and now you will be given a salary increase of 20,000 yuan, and the remaining year and a half, you can just listen to the company's arrangement...... If you want to stay, we'll talk about the details. ”

"I kept the keys to his house for me......"

“……”

The office was quiet, Xiao Yi got up and pushed the door out, passed Wu Henggu, who was talking to the agent impatiently, opened the door of the safe passage, sat on the stairs, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and choked silently.

After a while, Lin Yao pushed the door in, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, I know that you are reluctant to Lu Zhou, but no matter what, the work must continue to be done, right?" ”

Xiao Yi cried and trembled all over, he didn't have any psychological preparation at all, he said he would leave, and when he came back, he was gone.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Yao took Xiao Yi to leave to move.

After Xiao Yi left, Lu Zhou came over from the office next door, and Du Mei was sorting out the contract.

"I still want you to stay with the company," Du Mei said. ”

"Let's talk about it." Lu Zhou said in a deep voice.

Dumay asked, "Are you really going to go to Canada?" ”

"Nope." Lu Zhou replied, "Just stay at home, rest and relax, a lot of things, it takes time to think clearly, after acting for so many years, I rush up in one breath, I'm too tired." ”

Lu Zhou wanted to sign, but Du Mei said: "Wait, I know that you have thought very clearly, but I still have a few words to say to you, Lu Zhou, you'd better think about it again." ”

Lu Zhou paused for a moment, but did not change his mind, signed awkwardly, and said, "Where is the key to my house?" ”

Du Mei took out the key and gave it to him and said, "If you don't act, you can also be a production director and producer, what can't you do?" The company is short of people, you have followed the crew for so many years and acted in so many plays, even if you become a director, no one else will say anything about you. ”

"I just want to act, and I can only act." Lu Zhou put away the key, leaned back on the swivel chair, sighed, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Du, when I was poor and destitute, you brought me out." ”

"Your efforts over the years." "I also see that you have helped the company a lot." ”

"Yes." Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "It's good to get together and disperse, let's do this first." ”

Du Mei said: "The mentality is adjusted, remember to come back at any time, don't forget that we are not breaking up, just letting you take a long-term sick leave." ”

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Mr. Du, see you again, you can call me at any time if you have something, I will try to help if I can, Xiao Yi's matter, you also go for a snack, that kid is good and talented." ”

"Okay." Dume said.

Xiao Yi moved into a newly rented house, which is a shared house, in addition to Xiao Yi, there are two newcomers signed back by the company, both of whom are much younger than Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi carried his luggage with red eyes, and all the things that had been thrown in the company's warehouse for more than a year were transported, and even Lu Zhou's large doll was not forgotten and sent to the company's warehouse in advance.

Xiao Yi came in and occupied the largest master bedroom in the three-bedroom living room. One of the two roommates is called OO and the other is XX, Xiao Yi is not in the mood to know what they are called, after Lin Yao finished introducing him, Xiao Yi directly went in the left ear and went out of the right ear.

Xiao Yi locked himself in the room when he entered, until he was so hungry that he came over with a blue face, OOXX was sitting side by side on the sofa watching TV, and was busy greeting Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi said a few perfunctory greetings, only then did he remember that these two people were the ones who were said by Lu Zhou to be blind and deaf.

"Mr. Xiao......" OO said, "Are you ready to transfer in the company?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yi said, "Lu Zhou went to Canada for recuperation, and the company rearranged my position after a year and a half. ”

Xiao Yi glanced at the TV, and the TV was replaying Wu Henggu and Li Changzheng's "Jin Mao Mouse Flying Lynx", Wu Henggu was very young, very handsome and very clean, with the straightforwardness and ruffian spirit of a young man, which was different from Lu Zhou's mature and old-fashioned atmosphere that had read the rivers and lakes for a long time.

Another XX asked again: "Teacher Lu's health is not well?" ”

Xiao Yi thought to himself that you must have read a lot of gossip, and you all knew that he couldn't film, and asked what he was doing with this? Nodding his head, he replied, "It should be fine when I come back from recuperation." ”

Wu Henggu and Li Changzheng also acted well, Xiao Yi saw Wu Henggu and Lu Zhou playing against each other for the first time, and knew that Wu Henggu was different from other newcomers, he could cooperate with his predecessors, in a scene, the lines and emotions were passed on and delivered, he was very cooperative and would pay attention to other people's reactions, unlike Lu Zhou, who revolved around him with the whole scene. Lu Zhou's control is strong, and Wu Henggu's coordination ability is also strong.

Lu Zhou is the main controller in the TV series, and Wu Henggu is the builder of the scene.

"Senior Brother Wuhenggu can play against the actor." OO said, "It's a rare opportunity. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, looked at Wu Henggu, and said, "Can I change the channel?" ”

"Whatever you want." The two newcomers were busy.

Xiao Yi changed a few stations, but he didn't find Lu Zhou's drama, but he still switched back after the most and continued to watch "Jinmao Mouse Flying Lynx", the script should have been temporarily changed by the screenwriter, originally Lu Zhou and Li Changzheng were equally divided, and now it is Wu Henggu cooperating with Li Changzheng. But it is still a two-male protagonist model, Xiao Yi has a hunch that Wu Henggu is twenty-three this year, and he will play Xiaosheng until thirty, and he will be popular for at least seven years.

Du Mei signed him for ten years, and he is indeed very discerning.

In the entertainment industry, feng shui takes turns, and you sing and I will appear.

The takeaway came, Xiao Yi ate the takeaway, returned to the room, looked through the TV series that Lu Zhou had acted in, and found the first movie he made.

Lu Zhou just left, not even leaving a phone number, Xiao Yi wanted to call him to contact, but Du Mei didn't have Lu Zhou's phone number.

"You'll be able to contact him when you're popular." Dume said.

Xiao Yi: "......"

Du Mei said: "Tell me what you think, Xiao Yi, your current situation gives me a headache......

Xiao Yi said: "In my remaining year and a half, I will do my best to do what I can for the company, but I may ...... There will be no renewal. ”

Lin Yao said: "Lu Zhou also said before that your family asked you to go back, because you plan to save some more money and go back to your hometown to get married and live, isn't it?" ”

"Well...... Xiao Yi replied, "No, I have my goals, but I won't jump to the rival company or anything, Mr. Du can rest assured, when the time comes, he may not do this business." ”

Du Mei was silent, and Lin Yao suddenly laughed.

Xiao Yi didn't tell them that he wanted to finish his work and go to Canada to find Lu Zhou after the time limit on the contract was completed, as long as he wanted to find someone, he could always find it, maybe by that time, Lu Zhou was no longer the male god of many people, but he was still his male god.

After finding Lu Zhou, Xiao Yi would tell him what he thought, just like his girlfriend who chased him in the past, and then ...... Leave it to fate.

"Laugh...... What to laugh at? Xiao Yi looked at Lin Yao a little strangely.

Lin Yao said: "I still remember the day you first came to the company. ”

"Hmm." Du Mei said, "It has changed a lot, at first I wanted Lu Zhou to take you, I thought you could learn from each other, and now it has really changed you." ”

"Really?" Xiao Yi also realized that a year and a half ago, when he moved out of that small rental house, he almost didn't know what he was going to do, and the future was cloudy.

This may be the power of love, let people find motivation, and then with the disillusionment and failure of love, everything disappears, go back to be a ** silk, and then go to pursue an ethereal object of love, and then disillusionment and failure......

Xiao Yi thought to himself, when I was a student, I used to be the male god of many people.

Xiao Yi thought for a while and said, "Do you need me to be an agent to bring newcomers?" Or do something creative or something......"

Du Mei thought for a moment and said, "The agent ......"

Du Mei was obviously a little undecided, and Lin Yao said, "Xiao Yi, are you willing to do the company a favor and participate in the draft?" You have participated in the draft, I heard Lu Zhou say before, you also passed the audition and were eliminated in the regional competition. ”

"Helping the company?" Xiao Yi said.

"Last week, I had a meal with the person in charge of the "**Silk Voice" program team." Lin Yao said, "This season, the choreographer wants to skip the audition directly and conduct a mixed competition, we have a cooperative relationship with Juhua and Qunxing, and now the company is gradually on the right track, and I want to push a few newcomers." ”

"You want me to take them to the draft, right?" Xiao Yi said.

Du Mei said, "Forget it, Lin Yao." ”

Lin Yao said, "Let you go to the draft." ”

Xiao Yi said: "But I don't want to mix in the entertainment industry......"

Lin Yao said: "When it comes to the semi-finals, let the program team arrange for you to face off against people from our company, and take a look at it when the time comes...... You retire again. ”

Xiao Yi said, "Yes." ”

Xiao Yi said to Du Mei: "Of course you can, but I don't know if Lu Dao can enter the semifinals." ”

Du Mei said: "Is it really possible? ”

"Of course." Xiao Yi said, "I was also asked about "Best Boy" before, if you want to enter the finals, you have to sign a ten-year contract and pay a sponsorship fee of 500,000 yuan......

Du Mei misunderstood Xiao Yi's meaning and said, "You don't need to come out of this, the company will take care of it." ”

"Okay." Xiao Yi replied.

Lin Yao said: "But if you withdraw from the competition, you must listen to the company's arrangement, you can no longer mix in the entertainment industry, and you can't sign with other companies, it's okay to sing occasionally, you can't participate in public commercial performances, if you want to participate in commercial performances, you have to sign back to the company first." ”

"No problem." Xiao Yi said.

Xiao Yi didn't really want to fight for this, but after following Lu Zhou for so long, he gradually felt that it was not much fun to mix in the entertainment industry, and everything was money in the final analysis. Selling records is for money, attending events is for money, everything is money, and all the personal elements of stars will be converted into ratings, box office and other values.

So Lin Yao started to arrange, and Du Mei asked Xiao Yi to go back to rest, adjust his state, and meet with the newcomer in a few days.

Xiao Yi returned home, hugged Lu Zhou's doll, touched its head, and carefully kissed it on the mouth, took its hand, and found that the ring was gone.

Xiao Yi looked for a long time, suspecting that it had been dropped, or maybe Lu Zhou didn't notice the ring when he picked it up, although it was very expensive, but he had to forget it.

"Brother Zhou......" Xiao Yi turned over, sandwiched the long legs of the doll between his feet, let it press on himself, and said to himself, "Why did you leave without even saying hello?" Are you afraid that I will pester you? ”

At the same time, Lu Zhou sneezed at home.

The phone rang, Lu Zhou answered, and said, "I don't want to go out recently." ”

"Outsiders say you can't act." Zheng Xiaocong said, "It can't be true. ”

Lu Zhou said: "Don't mention this again, annoying." ”

Zheng Xiaocong said: "Last time, I asked people to find out, do you know how you fell down." ”

Lu Zhou said: "Say." ”

"Someone else wants to do it, Sister Li." Zheng Xiaocong said, "Guess who wants to him? ”

Lu Zhou didn't speak, and Zheng Xiaocong said again: "The agent of Wuhenggu in your company used to be from Huile Company, and Li Changzheng jumped out of Huile before, and he completely turned his face with Huile. ”

"." Lu Zhou said, "Did that kid from Wuhenggu do it?" ”

"I don't know who." Zheng Xiaocong said, "I guess Wu Henggu is not so bold, but his agent may kill two birds with one stone, not only cripple Li Changzheng, but also allow Wu Henggu to replace Zhanzhao." Li Changzheng's company couldn't find anyone to replace them, they didn't even sign a newcomer, and they didn't get much investment there, all of them relied on Sister Li's support, Li Changzheng fell, and then contacted the people of Huile before to find Li Ye to talk about it, Wu Henggu might be able to take the position, pit Li Changzheng, and benefit the whole crew. ”

"This son of a bitch raised me so badly!" Lu Zhou said, "Career love is all gone in one night!" ”

Zheng Xiaocong said again: "I'll let someone introduce you, change companies, I don't think Du Mei is good, you are in your thirties, and you still let you take on some youth idol dramas every day." ”

"Let's talk about it." Lu Zhou said, "Du Mei and my mother have known each other for so many years, and they are elders, she still takes good care of me, there are pros and cons, without her, I would not be able to be praised." ”

Zheng Xiaocong asked again: "Did your little rabbit follow you?" ”

Lu Zhou: "No, I asked Du Mei to arrange for him to develop, let him go and collide by himself." ”

"Out to play?" Zheng Xiaocong said.

Lu Zhou: "In a few days, I'm not in the mood lately." ”

Lu Zhou hung up the phone and sat quietly at home, as if Xiao Yi would still come down from upstairs and ask Brother Zhou if you eat fruit, or scroll through Taobao, or roll around on the floor funny, squirm like a worm on the sofa, and sing a few words loudly.

Lu Zhou smiled, shook his head, sighed, picked up his mobile phone, flipped through WeChat, and the circle of friends already knew that he had terminated the contract with Du Mei, and sent messages to comfort him, asking him if he had any plans for the next step, Lu Zhou did not reply, leaned on the sofa facing the floor-to-ceiling window, looked out the window, the floor-to-ceiling window was like a big screen, Madonna's presumptuous voice was playing in the record player, and it was snowing outside the window.

Lu Zhou thought about it and answered the phone again.

"Do you have a ticket?" Lu Zhou asked.

"Hmm."

"I'll give you a million, and we'll see the situation when the time comes."

"Tickets, you're big! Sponsorship fee! ”

"That's it, don't go to the preliminary round, watch his performance, go to the finals, don't tell him."

Xiao Yi sat in the company, listening to the song playing on the surround speaker, and finally decided on a song.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao." The newcomer came in and nodded at Xiao Yi.

Lin Yao introduced: "Xiao Yi, this is Hu Jinbao. ”

Xiao Yi: "......"

Lin Yao: "Jinbao, this is Xiao Yi." Jinbao's stage name is Jinglu, Xiao Yi, come, you get to know each other. ”

Xiao Yi thought to himself that Nima's painting style had also changed too quickly, Lin Yao, didn't you really mean to tease me.

Jinglu is very young, it seems that he has not finished college yet, Xiao Yi shook hands with him, and his mind was full of the appearance of the God of Wealth holding a big ingot, grinning, and asked, "Have you graduated?" ”

"No, I don't." Jinglu said, "I dropped out of school. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, and didn't ask any more, Lin Yao said to Jinglu again: "Xiao Yi is responsible for taking you through the preliminary round and regional finals, and after you enter the semifinals, the company will assign you a new agent to take over." Work hard. ”

Jing Lu, like all newcomers, was cautious and very frightened, and when he faced Lin Yao, he called Mr. Lin, Lin Yao left, Xiao Yi said, "Don't be too polite with me." ”

"Good...... It's good. Jinglu said.

Xiao Yi poured him tea and asked, "Is the song chosen?" ”

Jing Lu didn't choose, Xiao Yi played a song and chose a song with him, Xiao Yi had already decided, but Jing Lu couldn't make a decision.

"You used to think." Xiao Yi said, "Your favorite song, or the song you sing the best." ”

Jing Lu hesitated a little and didn't answer Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi said again: "Let's put it this way, now I like to show off my skills in singing auditions." Soaring high notes, playing with air sounds, one more than the pursuit of individuality. If you sing well, you can try it, and if it doesn't, move people with your feelings. ”

"I see." Jinglu chose a song, Xiao Yi went to find the score, made an appointment with Jinglu, and started at seven o'clock in the morning every morning to practice singing in the company.

During this period, Xiao Yi went to Du Mei to get the schedule, and the competition will start in April, Xiao Yi has been with Lu Zhou for more than a year, and he is already familiar with these things, and he knows how to arrange it. When I practiced singing with Jinglu, I also practiced singing by the way, and I felt that I hadn't sung for too long, and I was already a little overwhelmed.

"We can make a camel and rabbit legend or something." Xiao Yi smiled and said to Jing Lu, Jing Lu was a little irritable, every time he didn't want to sing and felt tired, Xiao Yi encouraged him like this.

At the end of March, Xiao Yi and Jinglu went to the program group for a meeting, the program group was in Beijing, basically who could pass and who would be eliminated was all predetermined, and the sparring players also knew in their hearts, but they just showed their faces.

"Tell me about the two of you, who will come first?" The choreographer said.

Xiao Yi greeted the director, director, program planner, and program director, these people Xiao Yi probably knew what to do in his heart, and said: "Mr. Du asked me to come to the competition, by the way, come, Jinglu, say hello to the teachers." ”

"Hello teachers." Jing Lu said busily.

Everyone laughed, Xiao Yi knew that when dealing with them, as long as he didn't appear too arrogant, although he was soft-spoken, he would not be troubled most of the time.

"Tell me your story." The choreographer said, "You have to record a paragraph in advance, broadcast it before you appear, and then you go on stage, you should know the process of the show." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yi thought for a while and said, "I graduated from the Conservatory of Music, the Department of Arrangement, and after I left the society, I worked in Sina for a period of time in the later stage of video and MV......

The director hadn't seen Xiao Yi's profile yet, and was startled when he heard it, saying, "You are Lu Zhou's assistant?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Yi said.

"Such a big wrist." The program director smiled, "A few days ago, Ning Yaqing's agent was still talking about you." ”

Xiao Yi immediately said: "Accompany the prince to study...... This time, I mainly came with Jinglu, and Mr. Du also said it. ”

"Hmm." The choreographer said, "How do you record this promotional video...... It's more troublesome, do you have any good ideas? ”

Xiao Yi said: "Isn't it okay to follow the self-introduction? ”

No one spoke, Xiao Yi thought for a while and said, "Is it because of Brother Zhou's problem?" ”

"Yes." The choreographer said, "You Mr. Du specially said hello, it's best not to mention him." ”

Xiao Yi said, "Okay, then...... Just remove Brother Zhou's part, and just say that I work in the company, it's okay. ”

"It's the work of an ordinary person's voice." The director said, "The style of the whole show is that it needs a ......"

"Ordinary people." Xiao Yi said, "The song of life is full of troubled voices in big cities. ”

"Yes!" The choreographer smiled, "You also understand, and when you go on stage, the things you show can't be repeated with other people, such as loving singing, you have to pursue your dreams no matter what, these words have been said by other contestants." ”

Xiao Yi said: "Then, I hope to sing, but I am willing to be ordinary, and I hope to be a qualified behind-the-scenes person than standing in the foreground." ”

"Then the audience is going to ask, since that's the case, what are you doing in the competition?" Said the director.

Everyone laughed.

Xiao Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, glanced at Jing Lu, Jing Lu was a little moved, but Xiao Yi patted him on the shoulder and said to the director: "I came to participate in the competition to stand in front of the camera, say a few words, and fulfill my wish, just as a confession to my lover." ”

"Yes." The director said, "When the time comes, follow this link and arrange it for your mentors." ”

The choreographer said: "You have to communicate this in advance, you can't say it too outrageously, can you ask who the confession partner is?" ”

Xiao Yi said with a smile, "I won't talk nonsense, and I won't tell anyone, besides, the show will be broadcast, if it's too much, just cut it out, come, Jinglu, it's up to you." ”
