Mad Dog - Chapter 55
The address sent by Shen Lei is Tengyun Building in Nancheng District. It is said to be a restaurant, but in fact it is more like a club with high privacy.
Meeting here is indeed Shen Lei’s style.
Jiang Qi took Zhiqi over there, and he saw Qiu Mi’s familiar figure from a long way away – he is now Shen Lei’s sidekick, follow wherever he goes, come out to pick up Jiang Qi’s mission Nature also belongs to him.
Qiu Mi’s eyes lit up after capturing the figures of Jiang Qi and Zhiqi, and he rushed over, he said excitedly, “Brother Qi!”
Jiang Qi wore a mask and nodded slightly.
In front of others, he has always been very restrained, even if he is very familiar with Qiu Mi.
Qiu Mi was excited for a short time before she regained her senses. When she saw the girl snuggling beside Jiang Qi, she quickly greeted, “Miss Zhi.”
“Long time no see.” Zhiqi treated people more warmly than Jiang Qi, she bent her eyes and smiled: “Little assistant.”
…
Qiu Mi couldn’t help blushing.
Then the three entered the Tengyun Building. Qiu Mi said that Shen Lei had a dinner here in the morning. Just invited him over.
Take the elevator to the third floor, before knocking on the door and entering the box, Jiang Qi looked at Zhiqi’s petite and graceful back, and hesitated for a while.
An inexplicable feeling.
You have to go in just to catch the ducks.
It was as if there was something indistinguishable in his heart, and later, Jiang Qi realized that the feeling that he couldn’t understand at the time was called ‘unwilling’.
So it was almost inevitable that he came to see Shen Lei this time.
I haven’t seen him for a few months, and the latter has not changed much, except that it may be because of drinking in the morning, and his face is slightly drunk.
Instead, Shen Lei raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Zhiqi and Jiang Qi coming together.
“Sit down.” However, Shen Lei just nodded, and said nothing else and greeted the three of them to sit down – Tengyun Tower is a large private room, but this huge and gorgeous round table is surrounded by But there are only four of them, inexplicably funny and desolate.
Jiang Qi took the initiative to say hello: “Brother Shen.”
Shen Lei glanced at him up and down, a little surprised by Jiang Qi’s ‘spiritual appearance’, paused and asked, “How are you feeling recently?”
He didn’t ask clearly, but everyone in the audience naturally knew that Shen Lei must be referring to Jiang Qi’s ‘spiritual’ recuperation.
Jiang Qi nodded slightly, and said simply: “It’s okay.”
He always likes to end conversations with words within five words. People who don’t know him will feel that Jiang Qi is indifferent and unclear. Fortunately, everyone here knows his dog temper.
Zhi Qi smiled and explained to him: “Director Shen, after Jiang Qi retired from the circle, I took him to the fifth hospital for a course of treatment, and now he is much better, taking medicine to control That’s it.”
Shen Lei’s eyes lit up, he thought about it and asked bluntly: “Then can you come back to film?”
Before they came, whether it was Jiang Qi or Zhiqi, they probably thought that Shen Lei might mention this suggestion – but none of them thought that Shen Lei would put it so straightforwardly, simply, not at all. The roundabout and sloppy… cause Jiang Qi to not even think of a refusal for a while.
The circle is the fastest place to make money, and acting is also the most suitable career for you.”
Jiang Qi wore this face to work like repairing cars, working nine-to-six shifts, and earning a basic salary of several thousand yuan… Wait, wait, wait in Shen Lei It seems that it is a total waste of time.
“Brother Shen.” Jiang Qi shook his head and ruthlessly reminded him: “I am a bad actor.”
As he spoke, he clearly felt that Zhiqi under the table was holding his hand tightly. Jiang Qi knew that the girl didn’t want to hear him describe herself like that, but it was a fact.
Shen Lei was stunned for a moment, then shrugged indifferently, and said of course, “What’s the matter with the bad artist?”
“Aqi, you still don’t know the ultimate principle of this circle – the work speaks, the strength is whitewashed, and all those melon eaters on the Internet are actually strong in nature.” Shen Lei said in a straightforward manner , did not shy away from telling the two young people the most important thing in the ‘big dye vat’ of the entertainment industry—
“As long as you are not blocked by the radio and television, you can return to the circle and continue to work at any time.”
“A bad actor? Oh, what is a bad case?”
“Some people in this circle are doing underground transactions, exchange of money and resources, etc., but they have not been exposed. If you are considered bad actors, then this circle can basically be said to be full of villain.”
“You are just unlucky, but you are the one who was exposed and photographed.”
“But at the same time, you are also very lucky, because you have the medical certificate certified by the hospital as a guarantee.”
“After getting your compensation, the two former actors have already publicly posted on Weibo to express their forgiveness to you.”
“As long as you want to come back, you don’t really need to care about anything other than the black fans of the broken mouth.”
…
Following Shen Lei’s narration, Jiang Qi and Zhiqi only felt that they had heard the other side that they would never come into contact with and never really understood.
At the same time, I also feel that there is a new ‘door’ opening invisibly.
“That, Brother Shen.” Qiu Mi couldn’t help but gently interrupt the intoxicated Shen Lei who was already talking, and accurately put forward a fact: “But Brother Qi has now announced his retirement, If you return, shouldn’t you be scolded?”
Such repeated horizontal jumps, it is estimated that they will be hacked by the people who are already quite small in the “Jiang Qi Global Black Fan Support Association” on the Internet.
“Being scolded is a piece of shit? Being scolded a few times, does it delay making money? Does it affect eating?” Shen Lei said irritably, looked at Jiang Qi again, and asked straightforwardly: “Are you afraid of being scolded Is it?”
Actually, Shen Lei can imagine Jiang Qi’s answer to this question-because this young man is the person he has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and the person who doesn’t care about his external evaluation the most. Does Jiang Qi count as a problem?
Sure enough, Jiang Qi shook his head and said lightly, “I’m not afraid.”
Shen Lei couldn’t help but smiled knowingly, but he was too happy, and before he could finish laughing, the teenager said again: “But I have no plans to go back to acting.”
…
Dare to say what he said just now?
Shen Lei looked at Jiang Qi dully, feeling that his scalp was going to be numb.
Fingers kneaded slightly: “I thank you for your kindness.”
It’s just that he’s really not ready.
The last issue of ‘Winter Sunshine’ once set a sales record.
Can’t act? Then don’t act, just numbly shoot magazines, shoot commercials, or anything else… you can eat everything.
Or, it’s not just as simple as eating a meal, Jiang Qi remembers that once he shoots a magazine, he will make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of money.
As Shen Lei said, earning money in the entertainment industry is much easier than being a ‘social animal’ who works from 9 to 6, and has to lie down and fix a car under the scorching sun.
It’s just that Jiang Qi doesn’t want to live that much.
Perhaps he is still young and has some unrealistic ‘fantasies’ in his heart. Jiang Qi always wants to do something meaningful with his own hands to earn money. He didn’t want to be a vase, he didn’t want to be the ‘canary’ in a fancy suit, locked in a cage and being pointed at.
So, in the end Jiang Qi rejected Shen Lei’s earnest proposal.
Because in that Vanity Fair, there is nothing that can attract him.
Zhi Qi unconditionally supports Jiang Qi’s decision.
On the way back, when Jiang Qi asked her ‘do you think it would be a pity to reject Shen Lei’, Zhiqi just smiled and said one sentence: “Jiang Qi, I am happy. Just fine.”
She never imagined how prosperous the youth would be. What Zhiqi hoped was that Jiang Qi would be safe and healthy.
If that place in the entertainment industry can’t make him happy, and even affects his mood to gradually recover, then just don’t go back.
Those ‘good opportunities’ that the world thinks are extremely precious are really nothing.
It is good to hold the eyes.
