Chapter 49 Release
After the red carpet was over, the hustle and bustle of the outside world no longer had anything to do with Xu Jue. After standing in the cold wind for so long, he was frozen all over, but he still couldn't show it. He followed the staff to the inner hall of the reception, trying to pretend a little Neither is cold.
Compared with the star-studded red carpet outside, the brightly lit inner hall is the real colorful Vanity Fair.
But Xu Jue couldn't care so much now, the heating in the inner hall was fully turned on, and the moment he came in, his whole body trembled.
Countless people in the inner hall all stared at him and greeted him with a smile. Xu Jue responded one by one and still could not show any discomfort, until Qi Yanjing appeared and led him away from everyone's sight.
No longer being watched like a monkey, Xu Jue was finally able to take a breath of relief. He moved his frozen fingers, only to feel that his body was also aching from the cold.
Qi Yanjing handed him a champagne glass, which was half full of transparent liquid, Xu Jue took a sip, and found that it was lukewarm water.
Xu Jue: "...?"
It was the first time he had seen someone use this kind of cup to hold warm water at a reception.
Qi Yanjing pressed the back of his hand to his face, and explained: "Isn't it frozen, and there are no other cups in the venue, so let's make it."
Xu Jue couldn't laugh or cry: "You are really a talent."
People coming and going in the venue were either holding red wine or champagne, only Xu Jue was holding a glass of warm water, the cup was still steaming, looking out of place, he was a little embarrassed, and hid in front of Qi Yanjing .
However, although the water Qi Yanjing gave was abrupt, it was indeed very practical. Xu Jue drank most of it slowly, and finally warmed up under the effect of the indoor heater.
A few men in suits and leather shoes in front came and greeted Qi Yanjing very familiarly.
Qi Yanjing touched Xu Jue's back, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce, director Li Xiangqian, director Zhao Xunzhao—this is Xu Jue, you all know each other."
Both of these two are bigwigs in the industry, and they often cooperate in making movies, and basically every movie is aimed at winning awards. Xu Jue had just watched their movies carefully when he learned about the entertainment industry in the book not long after he came here.
Xu Jue smiled politely: "Hello, Director Li, and editor Zhao, I have long admired your name."
Both of them smiled and waved their hands, completely unassuming: "Where is it, we missed you a long time ago, and today we finally have a chance hahaha..."
·
On the sofa not far from the inner hall, Zhang Xiaohan curled his lips: "He is the one who stole the limelight today."
The boy next to him smiled, raised his glass and drank it down: "I said, how can you participate in this kind of banquet, the co-author is Xu Jue, who is a loafer?"
The boy who spoke was none other than Zou Yu, the C member of their draft group, and he looked at Zhang Xiaohan with disdain.
Zhang Xiaohan snorted and rolled his eyes.
Both of them looked at Xu Jue in front of him by coincidence. He was standing beside Qi Yanjing, chatting happily with all the big shots.These big guys are out of reach even if they fly, but Xu Jue can do a job with ease in the middle.
Zou Yu asked the waiter for another glass of red wine, and shook it in his hand but refused to drink it: "I heard that Director Li and Editor Zhao are preparing a new movie recently."
Zhang Xiaohan sneered: "Do you still need to hear about it? I heard that you went to audition. Why, people don't like you?"
Zou Yu rolled his eyes in disgust: "The result hasn't come out yet."
Zhang Xiaohan was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed as if he couldn't help it anymore: "Are you okay? The current situation clearly shows that he wants to cooperate with Xu Jue, why do you still want to play with Xu Jue?"
Zou Yu straightened his back: "Can't you?"
Zhang Xiaohan stopped laughing, and touched Zou Yu's forehead seriously: "Did you have a fever or drink too much, are you sick?"
Although he envied Xu Jue, he also recognized Xu Jue's strength like most people. In his opinion, a person like Zou Yu was not even worthy of carrying shoes, and he dared to say that he wanted to play with Xu Jue. It's a joke.
Zou Yu raised his hand to block it, and smiled meaningfully: "Just wait and see."
Xu Jue in front seemed to have finished communicating with the bosses, and walked to the second floor alone.
Zou Yu finished the wine in the glass, got up and straightened his collar, said "I'm going to the bathroom" to Zhang Xiaohan, and left.
But he was walking in the opposite direction to the bathroom, as if he was following Xu Jue.
Zhang Xiaohan rolled his eyes and followed him calmly.
Qi Yanjing had something to discuss with others, Xu Jue was a little tired so he didn't follow along, and planned to find a quiet place to rest for a while, but was stopped from behind as soon as he went up to the second floor.
The person who came was seen in the live broadcast just now. The C position of this year's draft group is tall, but his appearance is not particularly outstanding.
The boy stretched out his hand to him: "Senior Xu, hello, I am the C position of Seventh, and my name is Zou Yu."
Xu Jue hooked his lips and shook them back: "Hello, what's the matter?"
Zou Yu coughed and said in a low voice, "Can we find a place where there are few people to chat? My manager is Nie Chengyi."
Xu Jue was startled, and almost didn't laugh directly.
What does Nie Chengyi have to do with me?He's your agent so I have to talk to you?
Xu Jue felt that this person was simply too interesting, so he nodded after thinking about it: "Okay."
The two went to an almost empty corner on the second floor, Xu Jue smiled and folded his arms: "Let's talk."
"I heard that Director Zhao wants to ask you to make a movie recently?" His tone was still respectful, but his expression was faintly arrogant, "I went to audition recently, can you tell Director Zhao to let me play the second male lead? Number?"
When he said this, his face showed a sense of reluctance to settle for the second best, as if he was saying: I didn't even ask for a male lead, but I am willing to be your second male lead.
When chatting with Director Zhao just now, he did mention that someone from this year's talent show came to audition, but his acting skills were a mess, and they had already eliminated that person from the shortlist.
Now that I think about it, it is the boy in front of me who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.
Xu Jue laughed dumbfounded: "Why should I?"
Zou Yu paused, and spoke again with a hint of warning: "As I said, my manager is Nie Chengyi."
Nie Chengyi Nie Chengyi, this annoying name keeps ringing in his ears, and Xu Jue doesn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Well, he went to your company again after he was fired, so what?"
Zou Yu didn't expect that Xu Jue didn't react at all when he heard Nie Chengyi's name, so he said impatiently: "He has been your agent for two years, don't you know what you have in his hands? I have been under the same agent before, can you help me with this and we can live in peace?"
Xu Jue was taken aback for a moment, and fully understood that he was being threatened.
He calmed down and raised his eyebrows: "Then what are you talking about?"
He didn't know which sensitive nerve of Zou Yu had been poked by his calm expression, and his tone was a little rushed: "You are an orphan, right?"
"He's an orphan who grows up in an orphanage!" Nie Chengyi's ugly face flashed in front of his eyes when he said these words: "But look at what he usually eats and wears, how is he not hypocritical? Is it everyone? Everyone thought he was a rich second generation who hid his family background? Why did he never mention his family background all these years after his debut? Vanity! How could he give up on the character design that he has worked so hard for so many years?"
Zou Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, and told Xu Jue exactly what Nie Chengyi had told him, with a contemptuous look on his face: "You are in the limelight now, so you definitely don't want your character design to collapse over the past few years, right?"
Xu Jue: "..."
He didn't know what kind of person the original body was in Nie Chengyi's eyes, so he could make such a guess.
But to Xu Jue, whether he grew up in an orphanage or with a golden spoon in his mouth, it doesn't matter. He doesn't think orphans are a shameful thing. Xu Jue doesn't care about what they regard as a handle.
"Whatever, you can do whatever you like, it doesn't matter if you buy a hot search and post a draft, but I don't want to help you."
After speaking, he wiped Zou Yu's shoulder and left, annoyed that he wasted several minutes with a psychopath.
Zou Yu never expected that Xu Jue would not care about this matter at all. He is really willing to let his depreciated life experience be exposed to the eyes of the world?
Seeing Xu Jue going farther and farther, Zou Yu panicked. Given the gap between the two of them, if they didn't make a deal today, it might be difficult to see Xu Jue again in the future.
His head was hot, and he quickly stepped forward to pull Xu Jue back. Xu Jue was in poor health and couldn't stand the sudden force, so he staggered a few steps and hit the corner of the stairs with his back.
It wasn't a hard hit, but Xu Jue was covered in bruises. He might have been pulled somewhere, and his face turned pale immediately.
Zou Yu didn't like Nie Chengyi's ugly face, but now he unconsciously showed the same expression as Nie Chengyi: "Don't you look at where you lived before, it was dirty and poor, and there was a smell everywhere, thinking that wearing clothes now Is a couture really turning around? Do you think those fans who yell that they like you, if they know your background, will still treat you like a little prince?"
"I just want a male number two. You can solve such a big trouble with just one sentence, so why not do it?"
Xu Jue supported his back and bit his lip, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
He had been treating Zou Yu like a fool just now and didn't want to bother with him, but now his back hurts and he's very unhappy, and he doesn't want to let him go.
He took a deep breath, pretended to be persuaded and thought for a while, then gave Zou Yu a light look: "Go back and wait for the news."
Zou Yu hooked his lips, and immediately moved out of the way: "Isn't it enough for you to be so sensible?"
He watched Xu Jue leave the back, secretly pleased, and lamented that Xu Jue was just like what Nie Chengyi said, an embroidered pillow that is not good for use, and he was bluffed by a few words.
Qi Yanjing looked around and couldn't find Xu Jue. When he looked up and saw him coming down from the second floor, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Why did you go up there?"
Xu Jue shook his head, and instead of answering, he asked, "Do you still remember what Director Zhao said just now, the members of the audition team who were rejected from the audition?"
His complexion was not very good, Qi Yanjing was a little worried: "Remember, what's wrong?"
Xu Jue said calmly, "He threatened me."
Qi Yanjing's forehead twitched.
·
"What?!" Zhang Chang's loud voice was everywhere in the nanny's car: "What's so threatening? Why do they think this is a trick?"
Cen Huai said: "Perhaps Nie Chengyi felt that Xu Jue didn't mention his family background because of vanity and wanted to be a rich second generation persona, but in fact we just don't want to be miserable..."
Zhang Chang was speechless: "Isn't this a purebred idiot?"
Xu Jue was amused by Zhang Chang's truth. He sat with Qi Yanjing, wrapped in a blanket and nestled in Qi Yanjing's arms, so comfortable that he couldn't open his eyes.
Although Zhang Chang and Cen Huai knew something about the two of them, but seeing this intimate scene with his own eyes, he was still a little uncomfortable and looked away awkwardly.
"It doesn't matter if the family background is exposed," Xu Jue said lazily, "but it's better for us than being bought by others."
Qi Yanjing thought for a while and asked, "Are you talking about the VCR that will be recorded later?"
Xu Jue nodded.
For the third review of this year's Acting Research Institute, a VCR will be released in advance on the same day, the content is the cheering video recorded by the family members of the remaining nine actors.
This kind of video is very common in talent shows, but this is the first time for the Institute of Performing Arts to do so.
Originally, Xu Jue's team planned to skip this link directly, but now it seems that it is not impossible to participate.
"I see," Qi Yanjing pulled up Xu Jue's blanket, "I'll notify the program team."
Xu Jue was really tired today, he answered vaguely in Qi Yanjing's arms, his eyelashes fluttered and he was about to fall asleep.
Zhang Chang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qi Yanjing's "shh" gesture.
He patted Xu Jue's back lightly through the blanket, as if coaxing him to sleep. In his opinion, those small things that can be solved in minutes are far less important than Xu Jue's sleep.
