Chapter 268: There are many pilgrims today
"Yes, I met Huang Zhixin just now, he is ...... at Dongyue headquarters"
"Brother Qiao, you always know? So what step is it now? ”
“……”
After Xu Zhen learned from Song Yu that someone was going to grab the book of "Langya Bang", he thought about it and finally couldn't help but go out of the building, found a secluded corner, and dialed Qiao Feng's phone.
"Ah Zhen, don't worry about this," Qiao Feng obviously knew something inside, and his tone sounded slightly irritated, "Rest well, eat well, what should you do." ”
"Regarding this matter, brother will definitely not let you suffer."
When Xu Zhen heard this, he frowned slightly, and said, "Brother Qiao, what I care about is not suffering or taking advantage, what I care about is whether I can play "Langya Bang"!" ”
As he spoke, he was a little emotionally excited, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The cold wind entered his lungs, the cold was biting, Xu Zhen reached out and pressed his chest, trying to suppress the urge to cough.
"Alas, why are you ......?"
On the other end of the phone, Qiao Feng heard Xu Zhen's anger, and said helplessly: "Listen to my brother's advice, don't care too much, this is not necessarily a bad thing." ”
"You are hot now, the company can't treat you badly, if he has wronged you because of this incident, he will definitely find a way to compensate."
"Langya Bang" is not a famous book, nor is it a big IP, similar to this grade, grab a lot of ......"
Xu Zhen interrupted: "But there is only one Mei Changsu. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Feng instantly stopped talking.
By this time, he had parked the car on the side of the road, holding his mobile phone, and was silent for a long time.
The story of "Langya Bang" was chosen by Xu Zhen on his own initiative, how much this kid likes this story, and how much he has paid to act in this play, Qiao Feng can see it clearly.
After two or three months of immersive character substitution, his demeanor began to move closer to Mei Changsu, and he almost integrated the character's personality into a part of himself.
At this time, you persuaded him to stop acting?
Qiao Feng couldn't open this mouth.
He hesitated again and again, and finally said, "Ah Zhen, I understand what you mean." ”
"The drama "Langya Bang", let's not let it go."
"You believe in my brother once, and leave it to my brother to deal with, I will definitely make sure that no one wants to snatch the role of Mei Changsu!"
……
After ending the call with Qiao Feng, Xu Zhen tugged on his coat and braved the cold wind to return to the building.
To be honest, he was still a little uneasy.
Neither himself nor Qiao Feng is the person who is responsible for this matter.
This feeling of uneasiness made him very uncomfortable.
Xu Zhen came to the elevator room and just wanted to go upstairs, but he met Cai Shijian, the chairman of Dongyue.
He just wanted to say hello to Mr. Cai, but he was suddenly stunned.
Since Lujiang said goodbye, I haven't seen him for half a year, and Mr. Cai seems to have suddenly aged a lot.
His hair was visibly gray, his eyes were sunken, his face was wrinkled, and he looked very tired.
"Mr. Cai," Xu Zhen asked with some concern, "Have you not been resting well lately?" ”
When Cai Shijian saw him, he barely cheered up and said, "Hmm...... When something happens, I'll adjust it after a while. ”
While talking, the elevator came, and the two stepped into the car together, ready to go to the sixth floor for a meeting.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Xu ......" Cai Shixian hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking.
Xu Zhen said: "Mr. Cai, what do you say? ”
Just as he hesitated, the elevator had already reached the sixth floor.
Seeing the elevator door open, Cai Shijian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Forget it, it's nothing." ”
"Wait for a while, if you have a chance, Uncle Cai will invite you to dinner."
……
The content of the shareholders' meeting was lackluster.
It is nothing more than the routine content of reviewing the report of the board of directors and reviewing the financial statements, and Xu Zhen has no interest in it at all.
Moreover, the shareholders and management are different, he doesn't know most of the people present, and Dongyue, who has been staying for three years, makes him feel a strong sense of strangeness.
At the beginning of January, the final exams of Chinese opera ended, but "Langya Bang" was delayed.
This is a TV series prepared for Xu Zhen, so when Dongyue set up the project, he said that he would start it at the beginning of the year, so as to make full use of his winter vacation time.
However, when the time came, this promise was not kept.
The company said that the preparation for this drama has not yet been completed, and it does not have the conditions for start-up for the time being, and arranged other jobs for Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen looked at the documents forwarded to him by Qiao Feng, didn't say any nonsense, directly said that he was sick and left the capital, and returned to Ganzhou with his suitcase in the dormitory of the Chinese opera.
He hasn't been back to Fayun Temple for a long time, and he misses his master.
……
"Smack!"
At the Dongyue headquarters, Zou Qingchun, who had just been appointed deputy general manager, slammed the documents in his hand on the table and shouted, "What does Xu Zhen mean by this?" Strike? ”
"If "Langya Bang" doesn't start up for a day, he won't work for a day?!"
The assistant on the side defended: "Maybe it's really sick." ”
"When I saw him at the shareholders' meeting last time, I felt that the kid was not in a good mental state, and I heard that when he came back from the crew of "Breaking the Guandong", he lived in the hospital for more than a week."
Zou Qingchun looked down at the documents on the table and didn't say a word.
He didn't like Xu Zhen very much, very much.
is obviously a tool used by the company to make money, Cai Shixian has to be a son to raise, but now it's good, he is used to not taking this drama or doing that job, he simply treats himself as a prince.
Do you really think that the company is owned by your family?
- This can obviously be an excellent cash cow, but no one in the company wants to shake him, and they have to raise him as a protective plant, what is this for?!
The assistant glanced at Zou Qingchun and asked tentatively, "Or I'll contact Qiao Feng and arrange for someone to go see Xu Zhen?" ”
"Is he really sick or is he pretending to be sick?"
Zou Qingchun waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't contact Qiao Feng." ”
"Hades is easy to see, and the little ghost is hard to say!"
As he spoke, his face sank and he said, "You go and book a plane ticket for me now, I want to go to Ganzhou." ”
"What does His Royal Highness the 'Crown Prince' mean, let me ask in person!"
……
On the evening of January 22, in Fayun Temple, Ganzhou.
Song Yu stood bored outside a meditation room, looked at the thin back of the thin figure kneeling on the futon in the room, and asked in a low voice, "What scripture is he reciting, and when will he finish it?" ”
A little novice on the side listened attentively and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, Senior Brother Shouzhen has already read the Buddha Says Amitabha Sutra". ”
"As long as you finish reciting the Great Compassion Bodhisattva's Vows, the Three Returns, the Great Compassion Mantra, and the Garanzan...... Today is considered a complete merit. ”
Song Yu: "......"
Listening to this progress, can I go out for a meal first?
Helplessly, it was too cold outside, so he had to tremble and follow Xiao Shami to a nearby teahouse to wait.
About half an hour later, Xu Zhen, who had finished the evening class, heard that Song Yu was coming, put on a coat, and walked unhurriedly to find him.
"Senior Brother Song," Xu Zhen entered the door, saw Song Yu's idle appearance, and said with a smile, "Why did you come here?" ”
When Song Yu saw Xu Zhen, he stood up and wailed, "Oh, I'll go, master!" You're in class this night, I'm going to die! ”
"Recite seven or eight sutras every night? No wonder you have a good memory! Served! I've been listening to it for a long time, and I can't hear what you're reading! ”
Xu Zhenwan smiled, knelt down with his shirt lightly, and said slowly: "Everything is simple on weekdays, and it is rare to come back, so naturally we have to finish a full set of evening classes." ”
Song Yu looked him up and down, only to see that Xu Zhen was not wearing makeup at this time, and his face was slightly pale.
His mental state is okay, but there is an inexplicable feeling of weakness when he walks, and he is also a little lacking in qi when he speaks.
"Are you really sick?" Song Yu asked with some concern, "What is going on now, have you gone to the hospital to see you?" Do I need to be hospitalized? ”
Hearing this, Xu Zhen shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course I'm not sick, I'm looking for a state." ”
"Listening to you ask, it seems that I can find this state quite well?"
Song Yu heard his negative answer, but he still didn't believe it.
Is this state acted?
Why does it feel so real?
Xu Zhen ignored his questioning gaze, only used a small clay stove to boil water, took out a set of coarse porcelain tea sets, and boiled the tea unhurriedly.
"Life in the temple is reduced, there is nothing precious to entertain guests," Xu Zhen tugged at his sleeves, slowly poured a cup of tea, and said, "This is the tea in the back mountain, the variety is not precious, but I often listen to the sound of Zhong Chi, but it is also interesting." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup in a leisurely manner, held it with his hand and handed it to Song Yu, and said with a light smile: "You are a product." ”
Song Yu: "...... Can we speak human language? ”
"Hahaha......" Xu Zhen was amused by him and broke the defense for a second.
The two casually chatted about their recent work and life.
Listening to Song Yu, something happened to Mr. Cai's family recently - his old man died of a sudden emergency at the end of last year.
The old man used to seem to be a real power figure, but now this kind of thing has suddenly happened, the family is in chaos, the company has a lot of things, and the contradictions that have been pressed down in the past have also been highlighted recently, causing the situation to get out of control.
Xu Zhen was very surprised when he heard it.
Is this the case?
This was something he hadn't thought of before.
The two were chatting, and the little novice who had just brought Song Yu came to the tea room again, knocked on the door and said, "Senior Brother Shouzhen, another guest is coming to you." ”
Xu Zhen was slightly surprised, got up and asked, "Someone is looking for me again?" Do you have a name to report? ”
Xiao Shami blinked and said, "Senior brother, Zhuge Liang has come to visit the thatched house!" ”
Xu Zhen: "......"
He knew that Fayun Temple had recently been influenced by his master, Monk Zhiran, and many people had watched "Three Kingdoms", so they naturally recognized "Zhuge Liang".
But then again, is it famous for my retreat at Fayun Temple? Why does Brother Hao know?
Qiao Feng defected??
Xu Zhen hurriedly put on his coat and followed the little novice from the tea room all the way to the outside of the temple.
Song Yu heard that it was Chen Zhenghao, and he was also very curious, so he hurriedly followed him.
……
In January, it gets dark early, and at 6 o'clock, the street lights are already lit up on the mountain road outside Fayun Temple.
Xu Zhen and Song Yu stepped on the thin snow, hurried to the temple gate, and saw a tall and thin figure standing alone under a street lamp in the distance.
The man was wearing a black mid-length down jacket and a dark gray scarf, and was carrying a bag of things, his shadow dragged by the dim light.
It is Chen Zhenghao, who has not been seen for half a year.
As soon as Chen Zhenghao saw Xu Zhen, he was about to step forward, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Song Yu next to him, and suddenly stopped again.
Song Yu alone, not far behind him, there is still his agent Ye Shijie, who is also one of the directors of Dongyue Film and Television.
- Song Yu took time to come to see Xu Zhen on the way out to run the announcement, and there was no way to get rid of the agent.
Chen Zhenghao dragged the scarf down, revealing his face, looked at Song Yu and Ye Shijie with unkind eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Song Yu? Did Dongyue send you to play the family card with Xu Zhen? ”
Hearing this, Song Yu, who was about to get close to the big guy, suddenly turned stiff.
I...... Big guy!
What a big guy! This kind of thing will come when you open your mouth!!
The corners of Song Yu's mouth twitched, no matter which master you are, he said directly: "Teacher Chen, do you count this as three hundred taels of silver here?" ”
"I think you're the lobbyist sent by Huaying, right?"
Hearing this, Chen Zhenghao immediately sneered unceremoniously: "Joke." ”
"I'm a lobbyist for Huaying?"
"Who is far away and who is closer?"
Song Yu almost choked to death by this sentence.
- Big brother!
Do you still know that there is such a thing as being close to each other?!
Xu Zhen next to him heard the conversation between the two people and looked at the sky speechless for a while.
"Brother Hao, it's cold outside," he hurriedly took the initiative to greet him, took the things in Chen Zhenghao's hand, and said, "On a snowy day, let's not stand here, let's go in and talk slowly." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look around and asked, "Are you here alone?" ”
Chen Zhenghao took the opportunity to glance at Ye Shijie not far away, and said lukewarmly: "If you don't come alone to visit friends, do you still bring the whole team with you?" ”
Song Yu: "......"
Okay, Chen Zhenghao, you're good!
I don't have the same knowledge as you today because of Xu Zhen's face, and I will see that I get the opportunity in the future, and I won't kill you and me with your surname!
Don't think that you are a senior, I must respect you for three points!!
……
After a few moments, the three of them returned to the tea room where Fang Cai was.
Xu Zhen went to find a new set of tea sets and pretended to start a full set of "tea ceremony".
That's enough......
What's there to fight about this matter, how can any brokerage company send someone to the temple to dig up the foot of the wall......
"If you really want to change jobs, Huaying is not worth going."
After a while, Chen Zhenghao shook the teacup in his hand and said in a calm tone: "The reason why I have stayed here all these years is to repay the old chairman for his kindness. ”
"From the perspective of artist growth, in fact, Huaying's habit is to promote seedlings and fish with all his might, which is not a good choice for young people."
Chen Zhenghao drank all the tea in his hand and said, "If you really don't plan to stay in Dongyue, I can recommend you to go to some other friends." ”
"A medium-sized company may be a better fit for your current situation."
