Chapter 2 "Mr. Chu, stay safe."

Chu Min walked at a constant speed for a while without looking back, only to remember that he was going to room 1105.

He glanced back subconsciously, and behind him was an empty corridor.

No one followed.

The jumping heart slammed back into the empty left chest cavity. After being at a loss for a while, Chu Min rubbed the dull pain in his temples, not knowing what he was worried about just now.

1105 was not far away, and the door was left open. As soon as Chu Min opened the door, he heard someone say, "Little Chu, we are talking about you."

In the small living room, sitting around the coffee table are the producer Fang Zong and the two directors of "Qian Yuan".

Chu Min removed the morbid state on his face, put on a decent smile, said hello to a few, and toasted them with tea instead of wine.

Director Feng rubbed his half-white stubble and looked at Chu Min, and he teased: "Xu Jifeng, who is always on your mind, is finally here, is Lao Ning feeling at ease now?"

Director Ning didn't say a word, he leaned on the sofa with his arms folded over his chest, with an unfathomable look, but he couldn't hide the spring breeze on his face.

Facing Director Feng's unceremonious gaze, Chu Min said without changing his expression, "I would like to thank Director Ning, Director Feng, and President Fang for their appreciation for being able to play the role of Xu Jifeng."

After he finished speaking, he filled the teacup with tea, doing it first as a courtesy, with a natural demeanor, and his attitude could not be faulted.

Feng Dao hummed in his nose, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

Mr. Fang has always been able to smooth things out, and immediately patted Chu Min's shoulder kindly and said, "Little Chu, I'm optimistic about you."

Chu Min was not overly modest, and teased with Mr. Fang. The two of you came and went, and they were as friendly as old friends.

But in fact, just three days ago, Mr. Fang was far from his attitude today.

At the time when "Qian Yuan" was preparing for the cast, Chu Min received an olive branch from the show and went to audition for the male lead Xu Jifeng. Regardless of his acting skills and image, he stood out among several interviewers. Even Director Ning, who has always been strict, was full of praise for him, and he immediately decided that Xu Jifeng was the leading actor.

After the roles were set, the remuneration was quickly negotiated.

However, just the day before the contract was signed, a man named Wu Linshan suddenly appeared and cut off the character.

Before that, Chu Min had never heard of this person in the circle, and only later did he know that Wu Linshan was originally an idol who had never been in a movie. He was a canary in his arms, and was hand-picked by the boss to pick the lead.

Along with him, there was another actor, Qin Ze, who was widely criticized for his acting skills. Bai Luoyang, who played one of the two male protagonists, must be from the management.

A good IP drama with a luxurious team has become a tool for capital to support people.

Qian Song repeatedly tried to ask the drama party for an explanation, but President Fang only said a few words about Tai Chi at the beginning, and then disappeared behind closed doors.

Nowadays, the film and television industry is not what it used to be. When investors want to block people, directors and producers have to stand aside no matter how strong they are.

Chu Min is very aware of the unspoken rules in the circle. Even if he was angry when he learned that the character was robbed, he was a little stiff with the drama party, and now there is no need to care about it.

He was just a little puzzled, why did the investor who held Wu Linshan so much at all costs suddenly stopped?

Qian Song said that it was because Wu Linshan was secretly suppressed by someone who could subvert his acting career, and the drama party replaced him in order to avoid risks.

But Chu Min always felt that it was not so simple.

However, he didn't understand the answer to this question. He knew that it was inconvenient for him to verify it. As an actor, he just had to act well.

The director and producer asked Chu Min to come over, but he didn't say anything important, just drinking tea and chatting.

Although everyone has had some unpleasantness, after all, they are all people in Vanity Fair. "Understanding current affairs" is a compulsory course, except for Feng Dao, who still has a lukewarm attitude.

Feng Dao has an interest in the investor who intends to support Wu Linshan, and he also secretly contributed to this matter some time ago. Now that the character is back in Chu Min's hands after a circle, he is naturally uncomfortable.

The meeting time was almost up, Chu Min came to the conference room with the director and producer.

There were already several important actors sitting in the conference room, all of whom were veteran actors and well-known talents. Chu Min briefly exchanged a few words and then sat down and started to read the script.

After a while, He Xu also came.

When He Xu saw Chu Min, he was surprised: "It turns out that Xu Jifeng was played by Teacher Chu. It's the second time we meet, and please take care of Teacher Chu!"

He laughed while talking, revealing two dimples, and reached out to Chu Min.

Chu Min nodded and said, "Hello," and involuntarily glanced behind He Xu when shaking hands, but no one was there.

The heroine Yao Ximan is very familiar with He Xu, and asked him directly: "You said that this is the second time you see Teacher Chu, what about the first time?"

He Xu said, "Half an hour ago."

Yao Ximan pouted and said, "What, I thought you and Teacher Chu knew each other long ago."

Chu Min absentmindedly flipped through the script twice, and the scene of the unexpected encounter just now appeared in his mind, especially He Wenxiao's expression.

In fact, He Wenxiao didn't have any special reaction the moment he saw him, as if he was just an indifferent passerby.

He wasn't even sure whether He Wenxiao recognized him.

But this is a meaningless question.

There is no relationship between them.

he thought.

As for why He Wenxiao suddenly appeared here, he probably came with He Xu.

Chu Minzhan flattened the footer, which was a little wrinkled by himself, and read the script with all his strength, waiting for the arrival of another male lead, Qin Ze who played Bai Luoyang.

Five minutes later, Producer Fang clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, our Bai Luoyang is here."

As soon as Fang's voice fell, a pair of long legs wrapped in black trousers strode into the conference room.

However, it was not Qin Ze who came, but He Wenxiao.

There were two vacancies left at the long conference table, one beside Chu Min and the other beside Director Feng.

Seeing He Wenxiao walking towards this side, Chu Min unconsciously clenched his fingers.

But in the next second, He Wenxiao passed him, walked straight to Director Feng, pulled out the chair, sat two people away from him, and said politely, "I have something to do, please wait for a long time. already."

The producer handed He Wenxiao a cup of hot tea and said, "It doesn't matter, there are still a few minutes before our scheduled meeting time."

He Wenxiao entered the circle late, and it was only two and a half years after the full calculation. All the people present were his seniors, but no one dared to treat him with the attitude of seniors.

His father is a famous entrepreneur He Jiang, and his uncle is a top domestic director Zhang Liquan. It is no exaggeration to say that his network covers half of the entertainment industry.

Everyone was somewhat afraid of the eldest young master of the He family, but He Wenxiao himself did not put on airs at all, and was very serious and dedicated throughout the whole process.

The two protagonists were unexpectedly changed, and the level of the whole drama was instantly improved a lot. At least the cast finally deserved the so-called big production.

All the people arrived, and they exchanged greetings with each other, and the meeting officially started. After a brief remarks from the producers, the writers began to outline the story of the show.

Chu Min forcibly suppressed his emotions and concentrated on entering the meeting.

The character relationships and storyline of "The Abyss" are not complicated.

The two male protagonists, Xu Jifeng and Bai Luoyang, are brothers from the same sect.

Senior brother Xu Ji wanders the world and is cynical. He was ignorant in his early years and loves to linger in fireworks alleys. Because he looks more beautiful than women, he is dubbed "Xu Meiren" by Hua Kui.

The younger brother Bai Luoyang is a good student of the eight classics, the most qualified and hard-working junior among his peers in the sect. He is often ordered by his master to "discipline" Senior Brother Xu.

There are also three characters whose roles are second only to the two male protagonists, namely the quirky little royal princess, the Yamano youth who is good at pharmaceuticals, and the mysterious bow and arrow man.

These five people met from the south of the sky and the north of the sea. They became friends at first sight. They traveled in the turbulent times, from temples to rivers and lakes. The country, the maintenance of the human world.

The original work focuses on the ups and downs of the plot. The only love line is distributed on the three supporting characters, which is a love triangle.

Bai Luoyang and Xu Jifeng are confidants who rely on each other for life and death from beginning to end. It is difficult to define their feelings without the author's explicit statement.

This distinctive emotional configuration has led to countless CP fans of Bai Luoyang and Xu Jifeng.

After all, in the minds of fanciers, ambiguousness is a melodious moonlight hidden behind the clouds, which is far more profound and moving than definite love.

The screenwriter also mentioned this when introducing the outline, and also made a special trip to take a look at Chu Min and He Wenxiao.

However, they saw one of them looking down at the script and the other looking at each other from the corner of their eye.

The meeting opened all afternoon, and all aspects of the show were discussed. When the meeting was dismissed, night had fallen. Outside the window, a few stars hang high in the sky, looking down at the neon of the city lonely, emitting a faint and cold light.

Chu Min didn't leave immediately, and when everyone left the conference room, he closed his shirt and slowly stood up from his seat, his hot body swayed slightly, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

He leaned against the edge of the table for a while, before drowsily entering the bathroom of the hotel conference room.

twist the water

Behind his head, he patted cold water on his face several times to cool down, until he was a little breathless before stopping.

Under the warm yellow light, Chu Min rested his hands on the edge of the pool, his slender and fair neck was slightly raised, and his chest heaved a little rapidly.

A drop of water slid from the forehead to the end of the thick black eyelashes, hung tremblingly for a second, and then rolled down with the sudden action of opening his eyes.

In the mirror, He Wenxiao, who had already left, was leaning against the door with his arms folded, and he didn't know how long he had been here.

Chu Min staggered his eyes off guard, and when he looked up again, he found that He Wenxiao was still looking at him.

The water was rushing, filling the still air with abrupt and harsh sounds.

However, at a distance of two meters, the two looked at each other one after the other, as if they were in a silent confrontation, just as they were in the same room for an afternoon, but never said a word.

Chu Min was only stunned for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, but he did not intend to have any private communication with He Wenxiao outside of filming, and was about to leave here as if nothing had happened, but He Wenxiao suddenly walked in and took two steps. Just behind him, he didn't even have a chance to react.

He Wenxiao looked at Chu Min's reddened face in his glasses, ignoring the other person's suddenly alert expression, and his thin lips drew a confusing smile: "There were so many people just now, I haven't had time to say hello."

"Mr. Chu, I haven't seen you for six years, stay safe."

The tone seemed to be casual, but the dark and deep eyes pinned Chu Min firmly in place.
