Chapter 29

Xia Xiai was stunned for three seconds before she said, "...Are you too assertive? Have you asked my opinion?"

Jiang Liushen calmly said: "You listen to me first, this is a comedy-style drama, the director is He An, there is a singer in it, just a few lines, mainly responsible for singing the theme song of the movie, Who are you not looking for? I immediately recommended you."

Xia Xiai almost had a myocardial infarction after hearing this: "You let me, someone who has never acted in acting before... act in He An's movie?"

Who is He An? He is a domestic and even international first-class director. He has won numerous awards. He is also one of the judges of the highest film award in China. He has extremely strict requirements for actors, even Xia Xiai, who is not in the entertainment industry. As far as have heard, a well-known actor in Longxing went to audition before, and he came back with blood sprayed, so depressed that he almost gave up his acting career.

He is a singer with no acting experience, where can he play He An's play?

"Don't be nervous." Jiang Liushen said, "I have arranged it clearly. Even if you don't perform well, at most you will be scolded and replaced, and you will sing the song."

"..."

If you don't perform well, you will be replaced. It is very clear indeed.

Xia Xiai had a headache: "I'll talk about it when you come back, I have to read the script first."

"Okay, that's good, pay attention to rest."

Jiang Liu hung up the phone happily, and the person sitting on the sofa chair on the other side of the room said, "Is this the kid you're talking about?"

"Yeah, doesn't the voice sound good? Please take care of me, Director He."

He An, who is still in high spirits at the age of sixty, nodded: "It sounds good, but I don't have any impression of his songs. If it wasn't for your recommendation, I wouldn't dare to take this risk."

"He was bound by his broken company before. The pop songs he sang were not recognizable, and he wasted a good voice. When I sign him, he will be free and will definitely shine."

"But why do I think you don't want to give him freedom, but want to keep him in captivity in your own territory?" He An gave him a meaningful look: "Liu Shen, after a year of hiatus, you Haven't you come out of Fang Mao's business yet?"

Jiang Liushen clenched his hand tightly holding the red wine glass and remained silent.

He An sighed: "Even if you are still guilty about that, don't use others as a substitute. If you protect him, those who have left will not come back."

"Why do you all think I use him as a substitute?" Jiang Liushen asked back, "Can't I really want to take care of him?"

"Director He, I'm not that vulnerable. Although Fang Mao's incident really hit me hard, I've seen through a lot this year."

"Of course, there are still shadows, I admit it, otherwise I wouldn't go to the variety show as soon as I come back, maybe I'm a bit escaping from acting."

"However, thanks to my participation in the show, I became acquainted with this kid named Xia."

Jiang Liu said in a deep and slow manner: "His life experience is even worse than Fang Mao, but he is still so brave and full of hope. After meeting him, I really came out of the shadow of guilt, so I recommend him to come with me. Acting in your film, in fact, a large part of it is selfish."

Jiang Liushen paused for a long time and came to a conclusion that he had only just realized:

"It was he who gave me the courage and confidence to continue acting, so I also wanted to give him a chance to start over with me."

As soon as he said these words, he suddenly felt as if something was not right, but he couldn't grasp the fleeting strange feeling in his heart.

"I hope he can really cheer you up." He An said, "You asked me to exclude you from the nomination at the Golden Film Awards last year for that matter. To be honest, I feel a pity, in my opinion. Come on, then you're the most successful character ever portrayed."

Jiang Liu smiled deeply: "Director He, my most successful role is always the next one."

He An nodded in relief: "I'm relieved if you think so, I'll wait for the next award to you."

"No problem, after taking such a long rest, it's time to exercise."

The film exhibition lasted for ten days. Well-known actors and directors from all over the world were invited to attend. Various entertainment media sent elite reporters to follow up and report. In contrast, there are not many entertainment news that have attracted much attention in China recently, except for Longxing was acquired.

Almost all the artists under the original Longxing chose to renew their contracts with the new boss, and the special case of Xia Xiai became the object of media gossip.

The public opinion is roughly divided into two factions. The supporters led by fans think that he has voluntarily terminated the contract, while the detractors led by the marketing account spread rumors that he was fired for violating the company's regulations. Yes, the Internet has been very noisy for a few days.

"It looks like someone is spending money to hack you! These marketing accounts are all the same!" Xu Tong said angrily.

Xia Xi'ai didn't pay much attention to this, and continued to concentrate on practicing the qin without raising her head: "Everyone else has renewed their contracts? What about Long Jie?"

"Sherry told me that Long Jie had resigned, and I don't know whether she was driven away or left voluntarily."

"Does she have any plans?"

"I don't know, it seems that I haven't heard that she has found a new owner or established her own business."

"I called a few times, but she didn't answer." Xia Xiai lowered her eyes, "Does Long Jie really want to cut off contact with me? Am I going too far..."

"I can't blame you. I have seen the kindness you have treated to her in the past two years. To be honest, the money you made for her has long been enough to repay her kindness, so how did she treat you? In order to earn more Money, forcing you to go the way you don't like. She didn't care about your wishes, why do you still care about her? "

"...Xiaotong, I didn't expect you to have such a decisive side."

"Haha, how can you be the assistant of a big star if you don't have any consciousness!" Xu Tong smiled, "My attitude varies from person to person. Of course, I have to be kind to the fairies who come down to earth!"

"Stop." Xia Xiai was afraid that she would be babbling on again, so she changed the topic at the right time: "Has anyone from other companies contacted you in the past two days?"

"Yes, don't be too much, my phone is about to blow up, so I just set it to mute. Anyway, what you said, I will reject it, right?"

"Yes, keep it up."

"But brother, there's no way out now, what if Jiang Liushen goes back on it?" Xu Tong was a little worried.

"Will not."

"I'm not sure, didn't he always play tricks on you before?"

"That's another story. He won't lie to me on such a matter of interest."

"You believe him so much? You don't trust Long Jie for two years with you. Knowing him for two months is like life and death."

Xia Xiai frowned: "I... just believe him."

In fact, sometimes he feels guilty when he thinks about it himself, what if Jiang Liushen really goes back on it? He didn't dare to think deeply, so he had to find reasons to convince himself.

"He signed me, it's a win-win situation, and there's no reason to regret it. And with his background, why did he lie to me as a young singer? He can't get any benefits."

Xu Tong thought about it for a while, and thought it made sense: "Okay, let's wait for him to come back in a week to sign the contract."

Xia Xiai nodded, secretly relieved.

What he just said was just self-relief. He knew very well in his heart that even if there was no interest in it, even if Jiang Liushen was not from that background, he would still choose to believe in Jiang Liushen.

This is a kind of unreasonable, even blind trust. He seemed to be intoxicated, the other party only gave a verbal promise, and he unconditionally put all his chips on it.

He always seemed to do this kind of desperate impulsive thing, and every time he ended up in a mess.

But not this time.

Xia Xiai pursed her lips and smiled, her heart was filled with excitement for no reason. The slender fingers pressed the keys and played the first note of the tune. The sound of the piano was simple and vivid, like uncarved broken jade falling on the plate. Day and night practice during these days.

Jiang Liushen said that he would also go to the award ceremony... He appreciates himself like that and doesn't want to disappoint him.

When he comes back, play it to him first, hope he...will like it.
