Mad Dog - Chapter 8

    *I lied to you, will you forgive me?

    *Yes, because I know you like me.

    Jiang Qi was called out by Shen Lei with a phone call, and he was semi-forced and brought to the crew to watch an audition.

    The teenager just got out of the quilt, and went out after a simple wash. When he was in the back seat of the car, he was full of drowsiness.

    Shen Lei glanced back and felt that Jiang Qi even had the president’s hair—when he went to pick him up at the prison gate fourteen months ago, the teenager was still a short board inch, it’s so long now.

    However, this is heartless…

    Shen Lei asked tentatively, “Didn’t you look at your phone?”

    The word ‘Jiang Qi’ is discussed everywhere in the forum now, and there is an endless stream of uproar, unless the words ‘jiang’ and ‘qi’ are expelled from the Chinese dictionary, Otherwise, the black entries cannot be deleted at all.

    Besides, Jiang Qi didn’t sign a company behind him, and he didn’t have a backer. How could anyone help him ask the navy to fight against gangsters? It’s good to not take the opportunity to put pressure on the ground.

    That kind of black hot search is so heavy that it is like a shackle.

    But looking at Jiang Qi’s appearance… It doesn’t seem to be affected by it? You can sleep with a hood on.

    Jiang Qi’s cold voice was covered up by the mask, and he replied dully: “I didn’t see it.”

    He never liked looking at that stuff.

    Shen Lei was not surprised by his answer, he was slightly relieved: “Go back to sleep.”

    It will take a while to get to Hengdian.

    A year ago, he knew that this kid has a strange and strange personality. He is naturally rebellious. He is not curious about things that normal people would be curious and expect, as if he was born with no desire for knowledge.

    The overwhelming quarrel of sunspots on the Internet may affect others, but it will definitely not affect Jiang Qi.

    Shen Lei is a talented young director. Because he is young, he is different from Jiang Qi. He is full of thirst for knowledge. He likes to study things and people.

    Jiang Qi just gave him a trait that modern people lack, which is the so-called ‘mystery’. Shen Lei has known him for nearly two years. He is very curious about Jiang Qi’s body one thing.

    —that is, does he really care about anyone.

    Jiang Qi is like a lone wolf walking alone.

    It’s just about gossip on the Internet, Shen Lei doesn’t need to ask.

    From the time he saw Jiang Qi in prison two years ago, he knew why this kid got in, so he saw headless flies facing these so-called ‘exclusive revelations’ on the Internet The crowd who guessed like this only found it funny.

    The truth is often more dramatic, cruel, and terrifying than rumors.

    Because Shen Lei remembered that what the prison officers told him at the time was that the crime of homicide was excessive defense.

    Half an hour later, Jiang Qi closed his eyes and took a nap, and was woken up by Shen Lei.

    There is nowhere to hide in the warm sunlight outside the car, Jiang Qi squinted a little uncomfortable, the light colored glaze pupils are paler than the sunlight.

    There were two men outside Hengdian who were about to smoke a cigarette to relieve their fatigue.

    They looked at Jiang Qi with great interest, and came over to chat.

    “Hey, old Shen.” The tall man on the left has a Chinese character face, a little long, and looks quite familiar with Shen Lei, he patted his shoulder affectionately and asked, “This is what you dug up recently. Treasure? Tsk, there’s been a lot of talk in the circle, but you’re hiding it tightly.”

    Jiang Qi frowned slightly with his tone as if talking about ‘commodities’.

    “Heh, Feng Yan, don’t put money on my face, my male protagonist didn’t sign my company, so I’ll take care of it.” Shen Lei laughed twice, benevolently Playing Tai Chi: “I heard that Director Wang auditioned for a new play today and brought the children to see the excitement.”

    While speaking, he patted Jiang Qi on the shoulder.

    This obviously maintained attitude and the appearance of expressing his position to leave, made the horse-faced Feng Yan’s face stiff, and then he smiled naturally: “Well, Wang The guide is inside—the old Shen, let’s go first.”

    He said and pulled the man next to him to leave, and looked at Jiang Qi with a meaningful look before leaving.

    “Don’t worry about it, Feng Yan is so virtuous.” Shen Lei has been in the circle for a long time, no matter what kind of doorway it is, he sneers when he sees Feng Yan walking away : “In the past two years, he has brought a few traffic to Yanyi Media. After being touted as a ‘golden broker’ for a while, he feels that he is special. There is no one who can’t handle it, so I guess he wants to hit you.”

    Jiang Qi listened expressionlessly, but did not respond.

    Shen Lei didn’t know whether he listened or didn’t, but from the perspective of a friend, he took the trouble to tell him—

    “I don’t know if you have any plans to sign the company, but if you want to sign, it’s best not to sign one. Feng Yan is a bit capable, and has a set of marketing hype methods, but suppresses those under his command. Artists are also famous, and many little stars were fooled into signing contracts and finally couldn’t stand it, even if they wanted to cancel the contract, they couldn’t afford to lose money, and there was nowhere to cry.”

    Jiang Qi has been in the industry for three months, but the most annoying thing on weekdays is hearing the twists and turns of these intrigues.

    He frowned, his dog tempered a little bit: “Are you still watching the audition?”

    Don’t watch him go.

    .

    Shen Lei cursed inwardly and said hurriedly, “Look, why else would you come here?”

    The two walked into the Hengdian while they were talking. Shen Lei took out his work card and handed it to the staff who were screening at the door. Then he took Jiang Qi from the side door to the second floor. audition hall.

    He and Feng Yan’s ‘Director Wang’ are well-known seniors in the entertainment industry. Wang Zhaoqiu, the top three directors in China, has reduced production after the age of fifty. It’s been a few years since I made a movie.

    And every time he rumored that there is a film in preparation, often before the script is released, a lot of people are busy making contacts.

    Up to the level of the best actor and actress, down to the little idol who debuted in the teenage girl group by virtue of what XX boys and girls, they all want to get a piece of the pie – even if they play a supporting role.

    Shen Lei accidentally cooperated with Wang Zhaoqiu a few years ago. After this connection, it was considered a friendship. This time I brought Jiang Qilai to open the eyes of the young man.

    He knows that Jiang Qi is extremely talented, and if he wants to really mix in this circle, he has to directly contact the top people in order to achieve the effect of ‘broadening his horizons’.

    The heroine of Wang Zhaoqiu’s film was decided long ago – the daughter of the CEO of Shengxuan Media, the princess under his banner, Yue Yuan, who gathered thousands of resources at a young age, even Wang Zhaoqiu All have to be sold.

    However, Yue Yuan is not a simple resource coffee, her own conditions are still very good, whether it is looks or appearance, she is not picky, and her acting skills are also good.

    But the temptation of ‘bringing capital into the group’ is the highest.

    Although Wang Zhaoqiu is angry, Shengxuan Media controls the volume of a movie after its release, and sometimes high-level artists have to compromise for the sake of bread.

    But fortunately, the most important thing in the script is the actor who has not yet been selected.

    Yue Yuan can be used as a tool – for example, in this audition, Wang Zhaoqiu asked her to come over and audition with the actors all day, and she had to agree with her ‘dedication’.

    They stood in the observation room high up and listened to the conversation in the room through headphones.

    Jiang Qi heard Wang Zhaoqiu who was behind the camera instruct the screenwriter: “Call those boys in and try the C7 scene.”

    Jiang Qi, who has some experience in reading scripts and acting, understands that ‘C7’ refers to the number of the seventh paragraph in the script.

    This is a story where an autistic heroine finally opens her heart after a long time of meeting a man who has purposely approached her.

    The heroine asked timidly: Will you be with me?

    .

    Ten deceptions.

    Jiang Qi watched the first actor go to the audition. When he got here, the conversation from the earphone made his light-colored pupils shrink, and his slender fingers unconsciously grasped the railing, the joints whitish.

    “Huh?” Shen Lei noticed his abnormality, took off his headphones and raised his eyebrows in confusion: “What’s wrong?”

    Jiang Qi stared at the audition room with heavy eyes, shaking his head slowly and sluggishly.

    It’s nothing, but… This audition reminded him of himself unconsciously.

    Once, he was so despicable to deceive the girl who trusted him with all his heart.

    The dialogue between the male and female protagonists in the audition still came from my ears, word by word, as if they overlapped with their past—

    The young voice asked tentatively: If one day… I lied to you, would you forgive me?

    The girl’s voice is firm: Yes, because I know you like me.

    When you really like someone, in fact, the bottom line will be infinitely lowered for him.

    Jiang Qi unconsciously remembered the summer they graduated from elementary school many years ago.

    He promised to go to No. 8 Middle School with Zhiqi, and they were still classmates, but he lied.

    Sometimes, Jiang Qi didn’t want his memory to be so good, but he closed his eyes, and he was still vivid in his mind.

      The bruises and bruises beneath the covered flesh.

    It seems that the wound that was not treated in time is almost oozing pus, rotting, and the person who hurts when the salty sweat passes through it, and the eyebrows are unconsciously knitted.

    Jiang Qi was lying on the wire bed less than one meter, feeling like a piece of rotten raw meat that might disappear into this space at any time.

    At this moment, the girl’s vibrant voice woke him up—

    “Jiang Qi? Jiang Qi? Are you at home?”

    This… This is clearly Zhiqi’s voice.

    Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he did not know where the strength came from to support him to jump up from the wire bed.

    Jiang Qi remembered that in the cramped and smelly living room, he had a face-to-face with Zhiqi, and the girl was obviously stunned.

    “Jiang, Jiang Qi, you haven’t gone to school for a week? Why are you so thin?” The girl with the horn braids is fresh, healthy, and her whole body is exquisite and sculpted, looking at him But he was timid: “Are you okay? I heard from Teacher Li that you didn’t even attend the graduation ceremony. I…”

    “Go out.” Jiang Qi interrupted the girl, his voice weak and cold.

    Zhixi looked at him blankly, as if she didn’t understand what Jiang Qi was saying.

    But the most disturbing thing is the danger that will come at any moment.

    “Go out.” Jiang Qi repeated, raising his hand laboriously to the door, he coldly ordered the girl to evict: “Let’s go now.”

    This attitude made Tong Jiangqi’s head teacher inquire about his address, avoiding the driver at home and taking the bus for more than an hour under the scorching sun to come to this ‘Chenkong Hutong’ Zhiqi forgot about the heat for a while.

    The hutong is hot and stuffy, no matter it is people or dense bungalows, it feels like it will be baked by the blazing sun.

    Outside the window, a roar of gongs and voices came out of the window: “Facake-facake-“

    Is the old man in the alley. Every day at noon, he walks the streets and alleys selling cakes. When he closes the stall, he will habitually shout twice… The old man is back?

    Being aware of this, Jiang Qi unconsciously clenched his hand into a fist.

    Now, like a restless and bloodthirsty little beast, like the dirty wild dog at the mouth of the alley…

    Zhixi, who was staring at him, took two steps back unconsciously under such staring.

                ” already?”

      Don’t come again.”

    After he finished speaking, as if afraid that the girl would not understand, he emphasized it again, sternly and indifferently: “Zhixi, remember, don’t come once.”

    Zhi Qi was startled, and then her pink and white face turned red and white.

     Tears rolled in her eyes, and she glared at him for the first time: “Jiang Qi, you are so annoying!”

    The little girl has always been soft and tender, but this time she was wronged.

    Lin Lan is always raining, and the dilapidated hutongs in the shantytowns are full of potholes and no one has cleaned them.

    That’s all.

    Jiang Qi ‘watched’ her back to leave under the hot sun, and after a while, he covered the wound on his arm.

    There was a thin layer of mist in his eyes, and he woke up in a flash.

    She is in the clouds, and she is the dirtiest mud, a terminally ill dog, deep in a swamp, and no one can save him.

    Zhi Qi, Jiang Qi stared at her back, his lips silently opened and closed: Goodbye.

    He’s going to lie about the decision not to part.
