Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Old Man Is New

Staying up late, the mad demon Wang Yang rarely finished work early today.

I copied a video of the scene, and in the break room, I cut out one of the clips of a few minutes and sent it to an email address.

Immediately after sending it, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number, "Hey, what are you doing?" Stop drinking, take a look at the email I just sent you. ”

There was a muffled complaint on the other end of the phone, followed by a jingle bell, which seemed to be the sound of bottles and cans being touched.

Wang Yang knew that the other party had gotten up, hung up the phone directly, looked at his watch, and after about ten minutes, he began to count down, "five, four, three......"

Before I could finish counting, my phone rang.

Wang Yang didn't answer immediately, and took a sip of strong tea before pressing the answer button unhurriedly.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Wenjun held the mobile phone, his eyes were still staring at the sick figure in the repeated video on the computer, "Lao Wang, is this from your crew?" ”

"You don't care who it is, just say if you watch it or not, the male protagonist of your movie has never been finalized, right?" The old god Wang Yang is here.

Zhou Wenjun did not immediately reply to Wang Yang's words, but pulled the video again, and then sighed.

He and Wang Yangshi are from the same family, they are both from wild roads, but they have taken two completely different paths.

Wang Yang likes to shoot big scenes of swords and swords, whether it is a drama or a movie, he has gained a lot of audiences, especially at the current time when there is a boom in martial arts adaptation, and he has earned fame and fortune.

However, what Zhou Wenjun likes is too niche, and he does not shoot love in literary films, focusing on social minorities and neglected folk culture.

Several movies that have been released in theaters have a dismal box office, and they want to participate in the film festival but are also trapped in the dilemma of no investment.

He now holds an original script he wrote in his hand, and has been working on it for several years.

But apart from this script, there is nothing for the leading actors and investors.

He watched the clip of Jian Mingxi in Wang Yang's video, not unmoved, which is very consistent with the temperament of the male protagonist he expects in his heart.

However, as soon as you look at the actor's face and acting skills, you can know that the salary will not be cheap, how can you afford it.

"Don't make fun of me, I can't afford to pay for it."

"You think this is a famous actor?" Wang Yang spit out the tea leaves, held the mobile phone and looked serious, "Where are you familiar with this face." Besides, you don't have any money, others do. ”

Zhou Wenjun thought about it carefully, although he was poor, he still knew the acting school in the circle, and he really hadn't seen this face, and after listening to Wang Yang's words, he was even more tempted.

"Senior brother, you speak slowly."

A few days later, Li Mi was still in the crew with Jian Mingxi.

I have been in the film and television city for more than a month, the weather has warmed up a lot, the two of them didn't bring any spring clothes, Li Mi is thinking about giving Jian Mingxi a vacation, going back to change clothes, and looking at Jian Mingyue's little girl.

The text message sound on her mobile phone suddenly sounded, she lowered her head and clicked on the text message, glanced at the content, and her originally loose back immediately straightened.

After a while, Jian Mingxi got up from the ground and ended the scene of playing the corpse.

Before he had time to change his clothes, he first saw Li Mi holding his mobile phone with a complicated expression, and stepped forward and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"You sit, I'll help you remove your makeup first." Li Mi took out his makeup bag and used a makeup towel to wipe off the paint-painted scars on his face.

Then skillfully took out a bottle of makeup remover, rubbed it in the palm of the palm to emulsify, and then slowly applied it to Jian Mingxi's face, rubbing the makeup off little by little.

Wearing makeup for too long hurts his skin, and sometimes he is busy rushing to the scene, so Li Mi is also used to helping Jian Mingxi remove his makeup as soon as he finishes work.

At first, he just taught him to remove it by himself, but Jian Mingxi's cleverness was obviously not reflected in the removal of makeup, and the rough method made Li Mi feel frightened, so he simply took it all by himself.

Looking at Jian Mingxi in front of him, his eyes were obediently closed, and the makeup remover took away the makeup stains on his face, slowly revealing a clean and handsome face.

Li Mi didn't notice it at all, and his eyes softened unconsciously.

"Mingxi, if there is one thing that will bring absolute benefits now, but it may also bury hidden dangers, will you choose to do this?"

Jian Mingxi, who had his eyes closed, could only feel the soft touch on his face, but he didn't hesitate and nodded.

"Growing up, I didn't have many opportunities, so I knew I had to take every opportunity. It's like signing up with you. ”

After speaking, he took the wet wipes and wiped the dirt off his face little by little, his eyes were slightly red, and he opened his eyes to look at Li Mi.

"What's more, you said that hidden dangers are only possible, so since you know what kind of hidden dangers there are, you can naturally avoid them in advance, isn't it?"

Li Mi was stunned, then laughed again for a moment, rubbing Jian Mingxi's hair with clean hands.

"Yes, you've always been so determined and brave. Thank you, I know the answer. ”

After finishing work, Li Mi did not take Jian Mingxi to the next scene, but booked a ticket, packed his luggage and went back to the company.

On the way, Limi replied with a text message.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, Mingxi and I are on our way back now, and I hope to meet you tomorrow to discuss the movie again."

After sending the text message, Li Mi breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't expect that in this life, Jian Mingxi was signed by herself, and without Sheng Hong, the movie that made him famous overnight still came to the door by herself.

Zhou Wenjun's text message was very simple, saying that he had a script and wanted to find Jian Mingxi to play the leading role, and at the same time lacked investment, hoping to cooperate with Damai Entertainment.

The text message also mentioned that he was introduced by director Wang Yang, presumably because he was afraid of being ignored.

Thinking about the cautious appearance of the famous director of the feature film who swept the major international film festivals and won countless best director awards, Li Mi has an indescribable sense of chaos.

is no less than the day of rebirth, when he found the future slam actor Jian Mingxi in the convenience store, he turned out to be an ordinary clerk.

Zhou Wenjun's film, which established his status in the film industry in the future, is called "Dumb", which tells the story of a young man in a small place, who is born dumb and displaced.

In his previous life, Jian Mingxi starred as the male protagonist of this movie, and he attracted a lot of attention when he debuted, and since then, he has continued to produce good works in the field of film and television.

I cooperated with Zhou Wenjun three times before and after, and the last time I didn't finish filming, there was a fall incident.

That half of the movie, both fans and the media are waiting for Zhou Wenjun to edit it out to see the last light and shadow of Jian Mingxi.

However, Zhou Wenjun did not choose to release it, but sealed it, and posted that he was sorry for Jian Mingxi.

Li Mi later read many reports and learned that the movie shot by Jian Mingxi was an autobiographical script written by Zhou Wenjun based on Jian Mingxi's experience.

The previous high-intensity investment in filming has tormented him so much that in the end, he can't distinguish it from the reflection of himself in the movie.

Li Mi hopes that Jian Mingxi can reproduce or even surpass the glory of her previous life, but she is even more afraid that Jian Mingxi will repeat the mistakes of the past and die young.

She looked sideways at Jian Mingxi, who was asleep and leaning on the back of the chair, and reached out to pull up the thin blanket covering him.
