Please Have a Cup of Green Tea - Chapter 42
After the dinner, Huo Mingzhe returned home and met his own mother on a narrow road.
Well-maintained and elegant, the woman over fifty years old sat quietly making tea under the chandelier in the living room.
“Yo, Mom, why haven’t you slept yet.” A look of helplessness appeared on the tall and handsome man’s face, and he glanced at the English-style clock by the wall, “It’s so late, you should rest early.”
With that said, the man prepares to go upstairs.
“Mingzhe, wait a minute, don’t think about slipping away.” Mother Huo picked up the new tea in her hand and took a sip, “How was today’s dinner party? I heard that your aunt Hu also brought her young daughter back to China. Did you say hello to anyone?”
Huo Mingzhe, a cunning and cunning business fox, can play tricks on anyone, but for this old lady who wants to marry and hug the third generation at home, it’s like a scholar meets a soldier.
“Mom, can you take a break,” the man pressed his temple, “I was surrounded by people at the time, why did I pay attention to it so much?”
Mother Huo shook her head, looked at her proudest eldest son, and said calmly: “How old are you this year? Others are your age, even having a second child.”
Huo Mingzhe’s handsome face was as stiff as plaster.
“Do you think you’re still young? The boss isn’t too young,” said Mother Huo, frowning, “Why don’t you tell Mom the truth today—”
“What truth?”
“Do you… like men and dare not take them home?”
Huo Mingzhe was stunned for a moment, and almost laughed angrily: “Where did you think, how is this possible?”
Mother Huo is really anxious. As a mother, she can’t understand why her child is in her mid-thirties, and she doesn’t even have a girlfriend: “Then why are you not enlightened?”
Huo Mingzhe looked at the shallow wrinkles on Mother Huo’s face and the real worry, and his annoyance gradually softened. He walked to the sofa and said softly:
“Mom, don’t worry, I just didn’t meet the right one.”
Mother Huo pressed him slowly and softly: “I’ve heard your words for several years, but you don’t talk about one, how can you tell if it’s suitable?”
“Did you wait until I was about to enter the coffin board…”
Huo Mingzhe coughed in a low voice and interrupted his mother’s words: “Mom, don’t worry, in fact, I just met a nice girl recently, and I thought I’d bring it back to you to take a look.”
Mother Huo looked at her son suspiciously: “How about you coax me?”
Huo Dashao was silent for a moment. In the sight of his own mother, he remembered the girl’s cold face, and suddenly he was full of confidence: “I really didn’t lie to you. But that girl is young and shy, and I am still in the pursuit stage.”
Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Mother Huo noticed that her son’s tone was indeed different than before, so she sat up straight and looked at him eagerly: “How old is she?”
“About twenty.”
“What are you doing?”
“My company’s employees.” Huo Mingzhe’s face is not red or heartbeat, this is not a lie, that child is from Mikai Entertainment, and Mikai Entertainment is owned by Baoli Holdings, so isn’t he her immediate boss?
Mother Huo looked him up and down, a little surprised.
How picky the eldest son is, she, the mother, has the most say.
Before forcing him to go on a blind date, Huo Mingzhe had to be polite and courteous in the face of those good girls who were carefully selected by her, but when he turned his head, he didn’t even bother to add his contact information.
The current appearance is different from the perfunctory handling before. Is it really the blessing of the Bodhisattva that the iron tree has blossomed?
…
After finally coaxing Mother Huo back to the room, Huo Mingzhe made a call.
“Well, check it out for me, how she signed the contract with Mi Kai, there are still a few years left… The more detailed the better.”
The man’s brows and eyes drooped, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips, light and elegant.
Under the urging of his mother, he vaguely had an interesting idea in his heart.
Now he can be regarded as difficult to ride a tiger, it is better to just make a mistake and take the person home.
Probably because this idea was too tempting, the next day, Huo Dashao, who was in charge of every day, came to Mikai Entertainment’s company headquarters in person.
Huo Zhengqi, who was lying in the salted fish in the office, shuddered when he heard the news, and hurried out to meet people.
“Tang, cousin, why are you here?” Huo Zhengqi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the person who came, for fear that the other party would sack him in the next sentence.
Huo Mingzhe pursed his lips and smiled: “Zheng Qi, why are you so panicked? Is there any secret hidden in the company that you dare not let me know?”
“Or are you bullying men and women again and quitting?”
Huo Zhengqi wanted to cry but had no tears, wouldn’t this cousin really want to kill himself?
You have to know that since that night, he has been sober-hearted and has few desires to the present, and all the little tender models and babies have been turned away by him. He is afraid that Huo Mingzhe will call someone to check the post and take off all his underpants.
“Cousin, I really don’t dare…”
“Okay, I came to you today for something else.” Huo Mingzhe swept past him, directly occupied the chair in front of the desk, and tapped lightly with his fingers on the solid wood table top, “I signed you with Yan Qingxia back then. out of the contract.”
Huo Zhengqi’s face instantly paled.
It’s over, how does my cousin even know about the contract?
When Yan Qingxia was signed, the company borrowed 20,000 yuan to repay her external debt, and used this to coerce the girl to sign a ten-year “selling contract” – the terms were extremely harsh, Yan Qingxia had to obey the company’s arrangements unconditionally, and the company’s performance arrangements were not allowed. To question, all income during the contract period must be distributed to the company 90%, and there is also an astronomical termination fee.
It can be said that it is not so dark to send it to a coal mining kiln.
However, at that time, Yan Qingxia had to clean up a series of messes after the death of her parents, and Mikai Entertainment was the only place she could find that could pay off her debts in advance.
During the year of signing the contract, she had no drama contract, and the performance training courses provided by the company were extremely expensive. Yan Qingxia could only choose to continue to “pay advance” to the company. In the play “Summer Love Letter”, the remuneration she can get as a new female second is not low, but all of it goes into the company’s pocket.
If it weren’t for the financial distress, she wouldn’t be so miserable that she and her assistant mixed with the group to eat lunch.
Bi Ming is an enjoyer. If she was asked to endure Yan Qingxia’s poor and hard life, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on to the day when the actor and hero rescued her.
“I even asked me to DIY the moisturizing mask,” Bi Ming was extremely dissatisfied the day she came to this body, “Body lotion, essence, lotion, eye cream, lip mask, hand mask… If you don’t have a complete set of basic care, what kind of female star should you be?”
And it is this “selling contract” that destined that even if Yan Qingxia became famous, she would still be a marionette of Mikai Entertainment.
So at this moment, Huo Mingzhe, who was looking at the contract, looked like water, while Huo Zhengqi was frightened and restless.
“I don’t know, you are so talented as a ‘slave owner’… You dare to draw up such terms. Does your family support you in starting a company just for you to bully others?”
“Brother, this kind of contract came from Bangguo…” Huo Zhengqi quickly pushed the blame, “They said that many domestic brokerage companies will learn from foreign models.”
Huo Mingzhe glanced at him lightly, feeling disappointed for a while—
Up to now, he is still arguing and cannot recognize the seriousness of the matter. This cousin is considered to be retired.
There are many ways for a company to make money, but if there is no bottom line to squeeze employees to make profits, it will eventually be backfired by evil consequences.
Huo Mingzhe did not expect that Bi Ming would get this kind of contract now.
No wonder the mobile phone left by the girl that night looked so outdated, with scratches all around the body, and she still carried it like a baby.
Thinking of this, his heart sank again.
The poor girl in distress still sticks to her heart despite her cousin’s coercion and enticement. Unfortunately, a place like the entertainment industry is destined to be full of salt. If there is no one to protect her, how long can she persist?
The man was inevitably full of pity at this time, like seeing a butterfly stuck in a cobweb, unable to escape no matter how hard he struggled.
And he only needs to stretch out his hand, and he can take the embarrassed butterfly into the palm of his hand and take it privately.
***
Today’s third scene is the rivalry between Bi Ming and Xiao Xianrou Lu Yu.
This little fresh meat is also speechless. As a popular traffic, he is white, tall, milky and good-looking. In addition, he is often trained by the director in the drama, but he calls “teacher” when he sees people. There is no general traffic idol. arrogance.
He also has great respect for Bi Ming, because Bi Ming’s acting skills are good and can bring him into the play. Every time he takes a clip of Gu Dongyue and Jian Weixing, he has a special sense of substitution.
Moreover, he is still Bi Ming’s “official cp”. He may have been stimulated by the state of Xu Chengyang and Bi Ming’s drama in the past few days, and he is also full of energy and does not want to lose to the male protagonist.
After the script was adjusted, the three leading actors except Yun Zhen had no opinion, because one more emotional line would give them a wider space to play.
Lu Yu and the team have analyzed the revised version of the script of “Summer Love Letter” and agreed that the focus should be on the relationship between Jian Weixing and Gu Dongyue, rather than the childhood sweetheart line with the heroine.
The reason is also very simple. The former not only has the bonus of “official matching”, but also has a very strong tension. The unruly school bully boy unilaterally fights with the arrogant and indifferent school girl for the sake of his childhood, but after several rounds of contact, he slowly Falling into the cold moonlight, I lost my mind.
During this period, he also discovered the school’s biggest secret: she had a crush on another boy. The girl’s infatuation and tenderness completely touched the boy’s heart, making him determined to protect the girl, and from then on, he has been chasing his wife for several years.
In the process of chasing Gu Dongyue, Jian Weixing also continued to grow, becoming a more reliable man little by little.
In contrast to this kind of emotional line with a happy ending, but also with dog blood, contrasting cuteness and sexual tension, the simple childhood sweetheart line of the plot has no power to fight back.
In addition, it is also very important-
“Yun Zhen’s style will be suppressed by Yan Qingxia.” Lu Yu was born in a talent show and is extremely sensitive to the same frame.
The styling of “Summer Love Letter” is relatively simple, with refreshing student makeup and black and white school uniforms.
Yun Zhen’s face is a standard glamour, with long legs protruding forward and backward, if placed in a suitable situation, it is not an exaggeration to praise a stunner in the world.
But this is a small fresh school drama.
The loose and comfortable black and white school uniforms, and the bright face that overemphasized the complexion, looked like steamed buns with foie gras, out of place.
After all, the charming and **** big sister put on a school uniform and insisted that she was a middle school student, and others would not believe it.
And in the plot, Yun Zhen will also play the heroine who is inferior and cowardly in the early stage, and gradually becomes cheerful and confident with the help of the male protagonist in the later stage.
Just looking at Yun Zhen’s face can’t be put into the perspective of a girl with low self-esteem.
This also makes the director particularly helpless. The other scenes are all good, but when the camera turns to Yun Zhen, it will make people feel subconsciously—
Oh, it was actually filming.
Whenever Yun Zhen stands next to Bi Ming, this uncomfortable feeling will be doubled, because Bi Ming’s expressive acting skills will make people feel that “Gu Dongyue” is a real life, not a virtual character.
The two of them’s rivalry will always be repeatedly pulled between the false and the real. The director, out of a responsible attitude towards the play, deleted a lot of close-up shots of Yun Zhen, because the close-up is too easy to expose Yun Zhen’s discordant face and bad of acting.
In this regard, Yun Zhen didn’t appreciate it at all, and even instigated the management team to put pressure on the director team to reduce Gu Dongyue’s role and make up for more interactions between the heroine and the male lead and the second male lead.
The director is also tough enough, but he doesn’t accept the move. After all, this drama is not only an investor in Cexing, but Yan Qingxia also has someone behind it.
The current scene is the plot where Jian Weixing thought that Gu Dongyue took the heroine’s workbook and came to find fault angrily.
Xiao Xianrou, who is tall and has long legs, easily leaned against the corner of the wall and glared at her fiercely.
The girl frowned slightly, and her beautiful jade-like eyebrows looked back at each other calmly.
“Jian Weixing, what are you crazy about?”
The teenager looked down at her, and Zhang Yang rushed towards her with enthusiasm: “Who made you bully Wang Shu again?”
“I’m sick.” The misunderstood girl disdainfully explained, her expression gradually indifferent, “Stay away from me, Xu Wangshu’s lackey.”
She pushed him away, but in the next second, she was pulled back by her wrist, unable to move against the wall.
The boy’s hot breath almost gushed in her ears: “Gu Dongyue, I haven’t finished speaking, what are you running for?”
The beautiful and proud girl avoided his breath, her face flushed slightly, but her feet were lifted very neatly—
“Who do you think you are? Do we need to talk?” The pretty little leather boots ran over the boy’s feet viciously.
“Hey—it hurts!” The boy’s face turned pale in pain, and he couldn’t help loosening his hands, allowing the girl to break free from his control smoothly.
Looking at Gu Dongyue’s proudly leaving back, Jian Weixing leaned against the wall and tried to breathe calmly.
After a long time, he murmured a little annoyed:
“No, what was I doing just now?”
“Okay, click!” The director looked at the long shot of this scene with satisfaction. The boy’s heartbeat without knowing it, and the girl’s calm panic, were all vividly displayed in the entanglement.
Today, Xu Chengyang and Yun Zhen, who are the male and female protagonists, are going to participate in the Starlight Festival. He was just in time for the male and female supporting roles. He didn’t expect that the two young people could play so well.
Just when he was about to praise him cheerfully, the producer suddenly appeared and whispered a few words in his ear.
The director raised his eyebrows: “Investors want to visit the class?”
“Strictly speaking, he is the owner of the investor.” The producer smiled. “One sentence can directly determine whether our drama can be broadcast or not.”
The director was stunned, this is not a level that money can handle, and the power in his hands is terrifying.
“Why does this big guy come to the crew?” He was puzzled.
The producer smiled mysteriously and whispered something in the director’s ear.
The director let out a “hoo” and looked back at Bi Ming, who was talking to Lu Yu on the set. The girl’s profile now looked extremely beautiful, like a dew in the middle of a flower.
With such a beauty and a backstage of this level, I am afraid that there will be another character who walks sideways in the future.
On the other side, a tall and stern young man is being surrounded by a group of people diligently, slowly welcoming into the shooting venue.
“Mr. Huo, Miss Yan is filming in front.”
“Director Chen and Director Wang are already waiting for you.”
“Don’t wait,” the man said calmly, “Tell your director not to disturb her normal filming.”
He came here on a whim.
Or, simply want to see her.
The author has something to say:
Huo’s mother to Xiao Huo: son, don’t be an old leftover man, your mother is about to retire and you are not married (==)
Xiao Huo: It’s coming soon, I’m chasing your daughter-in-law
