Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Yin Yanxiu wanted to eavesdrop on what they were talking about with a mischievous attitude. Although he had further thoughts about Rong Baijia now, he still had a good impression of Zhou Shi.
Speaking of Zhou Shilai, without his efforts in the last life, Yin Yanxiu, who was almost indifferent and out of the circle, would not have been able to receive two works that are crucial to him. Without these two works as a springboard, Yin Yanxiu Xiu is not qualified to compete with Ji Shaoning again for that little golden tree.
Taking advantage of the two people's inattention, Yin Yanxiu sat silently behind Rong Baijia.
Rong Baijia knew him, but Zhou Shi might not be able to recognize him at a glance.
He beckoned to the clerk to order a cup of coffee and a piece of cheesecake, without saying a word, all pointing on the menu with his fingers.
After ordering and paying, Yin Yanxiu leaned on the back of the chair and pretended to look at his mobile phone, but he was actually concentrating on listening to the chatter behind him.
"The next film may want to take the underworld film," Rong Baijia's voice said, "But Ji Shaoning hasn't decided on the role in it yet, I'll wait for him to decide."
"You have to take that one?" Zhou Shi's voice hasn't changed from four years later. What role is it?"
It took Rong Baijia a long time before he started to speak, "I like a small role in it, as an undercover agent, there are not many scenes, but every time the role is very important."
"Shouldn't you even count as the male second?" Zhou Shidao, "I don't suggest you blindly participate in the relationship, and you can't eat too much. It's better to focus on what is most important to you right now."
Yin Yanxiu's coffee was brought up at this time, and he began to drink it little by little.
These two are still close friends just like in the previous life. If they hadn't already signed with Qi Hao, at this time, the two of them should meet in another place to discuss the signing.
"I've taken a fancy to Ji Shaoning and he's doing great!" Rong Baijia said suddenly.
Yin Yanxiu spit out all the coffee in his mouth with a "poof!"
He knew that his actions must have attracted the attention of the two people behind, so he couldn't hide it and greeted him proactively.
"I knew you did it on purpose!" Before he turned his head, Rong Baijia turned around and patted him on the shoulder.
Yin Yanxiu turned around in embarrassment.
The waiter hurried over to wipe the coffee stains on the table for him, and he nodded at Rong Baijia and Zhou Shi.
"He didn't even say hello to us when he came in, did you hear anything?" Rong Baijia didn't greet us at all.
Yin Yanxiu just shrugged his shoulders as an answer, acquiescing to Rong Baijia's question just now.
"Hi Mr. Yin, I'm Zhou Shi." Zhou Shi stood up and took two steps forward to shake hands with Yin Yanxiu.
Yin Yanxiu also moved forward to hold Zhou Shi's hand.
Zhou Shi looked at him with strange eyes, but he looked at Zhou Shi very familiarly, "Do you drink coffee in the early morning?"
Zhou Shi was surprised, "Mr. Yin knows that I don't like coffee?"
Yin Yanxiu was taken aback, Zhou Shi didn't like coffee, that's something everyone who knew him knew, but now he didn't know Zhou Shi, so it was a bit rash to say that, "Because I seem to have seen Xiaolongbao." He deliberately tiptoed to look at the seat next to Zhou Shi.
Early in the week, I only like to eat Xiaolongbao with millet porridge.
Coincidentally, there was indeed a bag of buns on the seat next to him, and Yin Yanxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Yin has a good sense of smell." Zhou Shi generously handed over the steamed buns, "I was escorted to the coffee shop by Rong Baijia, let's have some together?"
Yin Yanxiu took a look, sure enough, his habit would be the same a few more times.
He pointed to the half-eaten cheesecake on his table, "I haven't finished that yet, let's eat it together next time."
"Okay," Zhou Shi sat down with Rong Baijia, "We must go eat together next time."
Yin Yanxiu also sat on his seat, "When did you find me?"
Rong Baijia laughed, "You saw it when you were outside."
Yin Yanxiu was surprised, "But I didn't realize you were looking at me!"
Zhou Shi kindly pointed to the mirror wall next to them, "I saw it from this mirror."
"Oh..." Yin Yanxiu scratched his hair, "I forgot about this."
This mirror wall is still there a few years later, but why didn't he think that this mirror wall would be there a few years ago?
Yin Yanxiu speeded up, finished eating the cake and drinking coffee, wiped his mouth and said hello to the two people before leaving the coffee shop.
In the case of being discovered, Yin Yanxiu was still reluctant to get too close to Rong Baijia.
This knows whether he will go crazy early, and if he dies early again, it will be a big loss!
Yin Yanxiu went directly to Qi Hao's office regardless of the time.
This is a broker's office at a very ordinary time, and the furnishings are no different from other brokers.
In addition to the desk, which is a computer, there are also classified folders, which contain the information of each artist, and there is a notepad in front of it, with many notices posted on it.
Although all announcements are made through mobile phones now, Qi Hao still likes this ancient and cumbersome method, pasting all announcements on the board in front of him.
It looks very fulfilling.
Next to the desk are two round tables for rest and chat, with two chairs on each side.
Yin Yanxiu sat directly beside the round table, some distance away from Qi Hao.
"Sit here, across from the desk." Qi Hao pointed to the chair across from his desk.
Yin Yanxiu was embarrassed to refuse, so he got up and changed a seat.
"Right now I only have one small role that I can give you, but I think you must take this role. Let me tell you the basic information about this role first." Qi Hao crossed his hands on the table, "It's a gangster movie, yours The character is just a kid on the bike."
"Brother lying on the car?" Yin Yanxiu was a little surprised, "This kind of role can't even be called the male second!"
"Of course!" Qi Hao did not deny, "It is indeed a small supporting role that can only show a few faces."
"Isn't it better not to pick up?" Yin Yanxiu asked cautiously.
He felt that the contrast from the leading actor before his death to a supporting role was a bit big, and even if the current situation was a bit embarrassing, should he do it like he did in the previous week, even if he didn't take it, he couldn't take it badly.
"Is it because you don't want to pick it up or is there some other reason?" Qi Hao stared at Yin Yanxiu and asked.
At this moment, Qi Hao's assistant brought them two glasses of water.
Yin Yanxiu nodded his thanks to his assistant.
As for the reason for not accepting, at this time in the last life, Zhou Shi helped him reject many small roles. Although he was still troubled by the review at this time, many of the roles that did not have many scenes were almost similar to the roles of extras. You don't need to worry about these things about him, and the price of small characters is too low, and you can use Yin Yanxiu to make some small gimmicks.
At that time, Zhou Shi rejected all these roles and let him concentrate on honing his acting skills, knowing that two years later he was directly given a very important role.
Yin Yanxiu has experienced these things, but he can't tell Qi Haoming about it, so this excuse is a bit difficult.
"It's not that I don't want to take it..." Yin Yanxiu avoided talking to death, "I just think that instead of wasting energy on these small roles, it's better to hone my acting skills and use all my experience to get a big one."
Qi Hao twirled his fingers, and Yin Yanxiu could clearly see that he wanted to get angry at him, but he held back.
"Do you really understand your current situation?" Qi Hao asked.
"I know." Yin Yanxiu replied quickly.
"Do you think that in a situation like yours, no matter whether your audit results come out or not, will someone ask you to shoot the male lead in a short time?" Qi Hao said with a cold face.
"Of course not, but if I devote myself to honing my acting skills during the period when no one asks me to shoot the male lead, then any male lead will be handy." Yin Yanxiu talked about his experiences in his previous life.
"Concentrate on training?" Qi Hao frowned, "Who taught you? Your former agent? No wonder you've been in the industry for so many years to get to this point."
"But as you said, taking random characters that no one can see is a waste of time, and it can't play a role in tempering. When their opponents with the hero are miserable, there is no way in the whole drama. One scene." Yin Yanxiu is sure that he rejected these small characters in his previous life, but it doesn't mean he didn't pay attention to these small characters.
None of the small roles are particularly superb, so he has no idea about this kind of temporary role that is similar to but different from extras.
"I don't have time to tell you these great truths that you haven't experienced before." Qi Hao couldn't refuse at all, "If you have any ideas, why don't you play this role well before talking about it."
"What's so difficult about it!" Yin Yanxiu was very confident. Don't forget that he still has four years of extra time to cheat. In terms of acting skills, Rong Baijia is definitely not top-notch.
"The reason why I haven't contacted you these days is because I watch your movies every day and watch them repeatedly, so I bet you may not be able to play this small role." Qi Hao looked at Yin Yanxiu and smiled slightly road.
Yin Yanxiu seemed to be motivated by success, "What role?"
"He's a car boy." Qi Hao said in a leisurely manner.
"And then?" Yin Yanxiu felt that if he didn't fight with Qi Hao, he would not have a good life in the future, and he must listen to him for everything.
"Then this little brother is the subordinate of the boss of that street. The boss is in charge of car partying work for several streets. The rest is earned by myself, so many younger brothers are greedy for the ride-hailing business in these streets, and you are one of the greedy ones."
Yin Yanxiu always felt familiar with this plot, had he seen it or heard of it somewhere?He really couldn't remember it all at once.
"What about one of the greedy eyes?" Yin Yanxiu was a little attracted by the plot.
"The above is all about your background before you appeared on the stage. After you appeared on the stage, you licked the boss's stinky shoes, and thus got this job." Qi Hao continued, "And your character's background is that you are just a police informant. Since your ability to work has been favored by the boss, he has given you another job that requires a confidant to do, and this job has ruined your life."
Another life-sacrificing? "Who killed me?"
"It was the mistake of the policeman who contacted you."
miss?Does this imply that in his previous life, Rong Baijia shot himself to death and also missed?
Speaking of Rong Baijia... Yin Yanxiu suddenly remembered how it sounded familiar to them. When they eavesdropped in the coffee shop two hours ago, they seemed to be talking about such a character.
In the previous life, Yin Yanxiu had no memory of who played this role. At that time, he was busy negotiating the contract with Zhou Shi, and at the same time, he also listened to Zhou Shi's advice, dismissed all these small roles, concentrated on watching movies, training , Accumulate basic skills for yourself in a down-to-earth manner.
If he took the role this time, who did he replace in the previous life?Rong Baijia?
"Who is that policeman?" Yin Yanxiu was a little worried. He was another character with a gun pointed at his head. Would he make another mistake?
"The policeman is an undercover agent. It has not yet been finalized who will play the role. However, Ji Shaoning, an undercover policeman and gangster boss, is currently being screened for. Whom to play has not yet been decided."
Yin Yanxiu didn't feel relaxed at all after listening, "If Ji Shaoning chooses the underworld boss, then who will kill me then?"
Qi Hao thought about it seriously, "I don't know if the production team has contacted Rong Baijia. This person is on fire now, and there are many announcements. If it is to increase the box office, it is not surprising that the production team can find Rong Baijia."
But it was an accident for me! ! !Yin Yanxiu was a little afraid of his current role, did he really come here just to make him die again? "Otherwise, I still won't pick it up?" He flinched spinelessly.
"No, otherwise," Qi Hao pushed a contract in front of Yin Yanxiu, "I've already agreed to this role for you, you just need to sign it. In addition, although this role doesn't get much, it may only be three to five thousand. But I will still take half of the commission from it, you have to be mentally prepared for this matter."
"No problem, there is still one or two thousand left, which will be enough for the time being." The penny is an hour, and the important thing is the scene of being killed. No matter how hard Yin Yanxiu tried, he couldn't force his hand to sign the contract." But why did this character come to me instead of Rong Baijia?"
"Do you think the film crew came to you?" Qi Hao raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Don't erase my credit!" Qi Hao said seriously, "I spent a lot of effort to snatch it from others. I'm sure you won't be able to play the role smoothly." He laughed very much.
Yin Yanxiu was not convinced, anyway, he would be the most powerful opponent for Xiao Jinshu four years later, what's the matter if he can't even act well as a car boy?
"I still don't believe it! If I can act well, you promise me one thing!"
"No problem! It's okay to let me terminate the contract with you."
"Okay! You said it!" Yin Yanxiu picked up a pen and signed the contract, "I will act, and you have to promise me no matter what!"
Qi Hao didn't speak, but after seeing Yin Yanxiu signed the contract, he silently put the contract into the drawer, "Today's talk is over, you can go now."
"Didn't you agree to have lunch?" Yin Yanxiu looked at the time, it was just noon.
"Do you have the money to hire me?" Qi Hao asked.
"Why should I invite you?" Yin Yanxiu quit, "I don't have any money now, but you have money, and you are still my manager. No matter what, you should invite me."
"Shall I treat you to a sandwich?" Qi Hao took out an unopened sandwich from another drawer and handed it to Yin Yanxiu, "Don't forget that I gave you an opportunity to make money, so hone your skills. Let's go to acting!"
Yin Yanxiu took it bitterly, and walked out without saying thank you.
When he got to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked Qi Hao, "I still have a car unused at my place, please take a look and sell it for me."
"Okay!" Qi Hao happily agreed.
With a sandwich in his pocket, Yin Yanxiu went to a supermarket selling imported food to buy a dozen beers and two more sandwiches. These things added up to less than two hundred, but they could fill his stomach.
It seems that it is time for Qi Hao to help him with some announcements in charge of meals.
He was carrying a bunch of things and was about to go home, but when he got on the elevator, he ran into Ji Shaoning who was about to go out.
"Why do you buy so much beer?" Ji Shaoning asked.
"Here's my lunch!"
"Drink alone?"
"Ok!"
Ji Shaoning turned around and went into the elevator again, "It just so happens that I don't have anything to drink at home and plan to go out to buy it, it seems that I don't need it."
Yin Yanxiu also got into the elevator, "Let's drink together, it's boring to be alone."
It's really boring. Four years ago, he experienced this kind of ups and downs, and he was very confident that he could persevere, but now this situation is a little different.
He went through those four years and was ready to reach the podium again, but he fell to the bottom all of a sudden, without any motivation or sign, and it was really difficult for him to suddenly adapt to this gap.
And he wasn't sure whether he would be able to persist again even if he went through the life of eating box lunch again.
"Open the door." Ji Shaoning and Yin Yanxiu had been standing in front of Yin Yanxiu's house for a long time, and he had to urge Yin Yanxiu who had been distracted.
☆, 9. Qi Hao missed the opponent's play
