The contract drawn up by the lawyer came before Zhang Shan, and Zhang Zhihua sent it. don't know if it should be regarded as the opening or a warm-up.

"My sister will be back soon."

"I told you last time."

"Monday at the latest! Only three or four days away!" Zhang Zhihua emphasized.

"Um."

Li Xuan was too busy these days, Sheng Min was worried that he didn't dare to let him know, he didn't sleep well, and his insomnia had recurred, Zhang Zhihua's voice was too loud, and he was dizzy after saying a few noisy words.

"You'd better sign it..." Zhang Zhihua's tone sounded like a personal **.

Sheng Min didn't renew the contract for a long time. He only had this single seed to make money, and the whole company was staring at him. Life was really hard, and he was squeezed out many times, both openly and secretly.

"The contract is really good enough. My sister is in a particularly bad mood recently because of my brother-in-law. You said that you have been procrastinating. Don't take Joe. It's not enough to rest for almost a month. I brought it.Have you read the script..."

"Look." Sheng Min got up to see off the guests, "Leave the contract alone, I still have something to do, so I won't keep you."

He half-pushed Zhang Zhihua out of the door, and he could still hear faint complaints when the door was closed.

Sheng Min picked up the contract, glanced at it casually and threw it aside. After a while, he picked it up again.

In all fairness, the conditions are indeed generous, whether it is the promised resources or the percentage of share, but this does not prevent Sheng Min from feeling deeply tired when Zhang Shan's name appears on the phone screen.

"boss Zhang."

"Contract received?"

"got it."

"Let's take a look when you get it. If you don't mention the contract after the filming of the movie, I forgot about it." Zhang Shan's voice was the same as before, and she couldn't tell that she was upset about family affairs, "IThat younger brother is the most incompetent, and his words don't matter, you have known him for so many years, and you know that he is like this."

Needless to say, Zhang Zhihua must have said something behind his back, Sheng Min said calmly, "I know."

"It's true that you have bad eyesight. Didn't you like any of the notebooks he gave you?... It's been more than a month, aren't you bored at home?" Zhang Shan laughed twice, "But I'm not worried about you., I can always find something to do for myself. I heard that I often go to the theater recently? I don’t have such a good leisure time. I haven’t been there for many years... It sounds like I’m itchy. Is there any good show recently? Etc.When I go back to City N, I’ll take a look.”

The implication is too clear, and you don't even need to deliberately capture it.

"Speaking of which, you mentioned to me a few years ago that you wanted to take on a drama, didn't you? At that time, the schedule was not available, and it was not impossible to play tickets."

The director team of "Not on the Mountain" agreed to keep it a secret for him. After so many days, there has been no further news, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. From the day he decided to go for an interview, Sheng Min already knew this.

Sheng Min couldn't tell whether it was a test or he really knew something, and he didn't want to know, but he thought he had to say something: "Mr. Zhang, there is something I want..."

"Xiao Min." Zhang Shan didn't give him a chance to finish, "A lot of things look good, but they don't necessarily mean that. It's really not a good habit to look around."

"Maybe we won't be able to go to Shu." Sheng Min replied calmly, "But I think I should have the right to decide whether to go forward or not."

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, but Zhang Shan still smiled, as if coaxing a child: "You are young, and impetuousness is the worst thing to do. You must quit. Don't rush to make decisions. It's boring. Take your time to read the contract.", no matter what, I will talk to you face to face when I come back."

She just hung up, leaving only a long series of blind tones, like sirens, or warnings.

A little impulsive just now, Sheng Min looked at the blacked-out phone screen, probably because Li Xuan didn't come back last night, his temper became a little bad, and he didn't have that much patience to talk.

But it was enough to say it, Sheng Min lowered his eyes, the contract will expire in less than a month, he has been procrastinating not to sign, it has long been an attitude, Zhang Shan will not be ignorant.

Maybe there will be troubles. If you are positive, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover them with soil. If you are negative, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.

Probably because have been with Li Xuan for a long time, and want everything to be happy.Sheng Min lowered his head and smiled, he thought it over clearly, the only person Zhang Shan could use to blackmail him was Li Xuan, in the domestic entertainment circle, even if he wasn't photographed kissing and going to bed, it wasn't real.

An artist is worried about being exposed, nothing more than worrying about his fan circle being affected, and his sexuality will also be considered by the management as a risk item when he accepts the show. Since he has made up his mind not to eat this bowl of rice, he is not afraid of being caught.Compared with these things about himself, he was still more worried about Li Xuan.

He didn't know the specific situation of Yuan Yi. Li Xuan never took the initiative to mention these things.

Sheng Min sighed, turned his head and took one of Li Xuan's mints to eat, the cool breath spread to the heart and lungs.He gathered himself together, opened the notepad and organized his assets again.

Most of the money he earned over the years was paid off for Wang Shuying's gambling debts, and the rest was not as much as imagined, but it could barely be considered as savings.He asked someone about the cost of developing a game from scratch, even if there was trouble in terminating the contract, it should be enough.

After the calculation, he felt relieved, and sent a message to Li Xuan asking him if he would come back for dinner, but he regretted sending it out and hastily withdrew it.

Their dialog stays on yesterday, and Seung-min takes a picture of the newly arrived flowers.During this period of time, when Li Xuan didn't have time to come back, he still asked the flower shop to send flowers. He wanted to comfort him, Sheng Min knew.

Smiling helplessly, he was about to change the water for the vase. Just as he got up, his cell phone rang. He thought it was Li Xuan calling, but when he picked it up, it turned out to be an unfamiliar number. Frowning, he slid over: "Hey, who is it?"?”

"Hello, I'm Yin Qianfrequency."

There are fewer people coming to the theater during the day and more parking spaces.After Sheng Min came to a complete stop, he didn't go down immediately, he used the rearview mirror to look at the driveway shaded by street trees.

Recently, he always feels that someone is following him. Whenever he goes out, there will be a few faint eyes behind him.It can't be an illusion, Sheng Min is used to being followed, and he still has this level of vigilance, but he doesn't know who is following him now.At the end of the year, it was arranged by Zhang Shan that the reporters collectively rushed for performance......

Sheng Min, who used to know the license plates of him all the time, and the reporters were all those old acquaintances, but they didn't see him.A car passed by quickly, and those eyes didn't know where to hide.

Just shoot it.There's nothing you can't see.Not even Li Xuan.Sheng Min put on a mask and hat, and gently closed the car door.

Yin Qianpin has a long-term cooperation with the repertory theater, and he only found out that the entire tenth floor was rented out by him when he came to the primary election last time.The office is at the very end, with a gap left in the door, Sheng Min knocked lightly on the door: "Director Yin?"

"Come in."

This should be two rooms connected, the area is very large, more like a small library than an office, the curtains are drawn, the sun shines in, and there is a very faint scent of books and ink in the air.

No one could be seen behind the bookshelves for a while, Sheng Min walked in following the sound just now, and accidentally kicked a blanket on the ground with his toe.

He took a breath, took a step back subconsciously, and stretched out a hand from the middle of the blanket: "Hello."

"You look better in person than on TV." Then a face full of sleep marks appeared, and Sheng Min recognized that it was the actor who played Wang Lin, who has been acting in Yin Qianpin's drama since his debut,He was not from a major, and no one knew his specific origin. There were outrageous rumors that Yin Qian frequently went to a certain mountain to collect wind and brought him out.

"Deng Jing." He is not handsome in the traditional sense, his facial features are light but stretched, and he has a charm of his own.She waved her hand, but she didn't intend to get up, so Sheng Min squatted down and shook hands with him, "Hello."

"Don't worry about him, Sheng Min, sit down." Yin Qianpin himself was sitting at a table against the wall, with a thick stack of books beside him, and asked very disgustingly, "...why did you sleep here?"?”

"I've been sleeping here for half the night and you just saw it now...Brother, you asked me to come and change the script for you."

"You just changed two sentences."

"It's a waste of time to say a few words, do you think I'm willing to sleep on the ground?" Deng Jing slowly got up, his bones cracked, "Okay, I don't dislike you, go have breakfast, do you want to eat?"

Yin Qian frequently read the book without speaking.

"Then don't eat." Deng Jing happily clapped his hands, then asked Sheng Min, "Do you want to eat?"

He was really familiar with him, reminding Sheng Min of Yang Xu to a certain extent, and said carefully, "I've already had lunch."

"You are so funny." Deng Jing was taken aback, then laughed, patted him on the shoulder, jumped out from the middle of the blanket very lightly, waved his hand, "Let's go."

"Rehearsal at night." Yin Qian frequency said behind him.

"remember."

The door opened and closed, Yin Qianpin was still staring at the book in his hand, without looking up: "Sit whatever you want."

Sheng Min sat down with some embarrassment, the anxiety and nervousness in his heart were interrupted by this little episode.

After waiting for a long while, Yin Qianpin still looked down at the book, drawing with a pen in his hand, but could only see the hair on the top of his head. The blanket thrown on the ground was really an eyesore, ShengMin simply picked it up twice and put it aside, then also picked up the book in front of him to read.

I was fascinated at first glance, and after reading a chapter, looked up again and found that Yin Qian had put down the book at some point.

Yin Qianfeng became famous early. When the first play he wrote and directed won the award, he was still studying at the Drama Academy.It sounds like a senior master in the drama industry, but in fact he is not yet thirty years old.

Compared with his hard-to-find dramas, I am much more low-key. Some directors love to be interviewed, but he never does. He doesn’t even go to award ceremonies in recent years. The most recent photo that can be found in the media is twoYears ago.

Wearing a baseball cap, the exposed half of his face looks very young, with a student look, and it is the same now.

"You don't know me anymore?" Sensing Sheng Min's gaze, he smiled. His two rows of teeth were so white that they could be used in a toothpaste advertisement.You came to play my play, but you didn't."

Sheng Min was surprised and suspected for a moment that he had heard it wrong, but Yin Qianpin's expression was definitely not a joke.

Three years ago, he hadn't participated in "Picking the Moon", and he was not well-known, so he thought for a moment: "When you were in school?"

"You remember?"

"No."

Yin Qianfeng groaned a little annoyed, and reminded him: "The small open-air square, when I was free, I would go there to find inspiration and choose actors. I talked to you and asked you if you want to come to audition. You refused three times...."

At this point, Sheng Min finally had a vague impression.

Back then, when he went to see his seniors and sisters rehearse a drama, he did encounter people asking him several times if he wanted to join and play a role.In the middle of the drama rehearsal, there is a sudden shortage of people who need to be replaced. Usually, it’s fine if he refuses. According to Yin Qianpin... He glanced at Yin Qianpin again. He looked very young like a college student, so he was not sure.: "I remember a senior sister..."

"What's your look? I just grew my hair a little longer in those two years." Yin Qian touched his nose frequently.

This was very different from the serious interview Sheng Min had expected. Surprised, he couldn't help laughing: "Sorry, I didn't recognize it at that time."

Three years ago, Yin Qianpin's hair was not a little long, it reached his shoulders, and the light in the small square was dark at night. He lowered his voice and asked him several times persistently, all he said was, classmate, I wrote a new oneDo you want to try this script?Who would have guessed that a well-known drama director would use this method to select people, just like a strike-up.

"I regret it."

"It's useless to regret it. Even if I recognized it, I couldn't agree at the time." Sheng Min thought about it and said frankly.It would be false to say no surprise or regret, but no regret.

At that time, he was not popular, had no confidence, no freedom, only holes that could not be filled, and according to the company's arrangement, he played some dispensable roles in one after another third-rate online drama.The opportunity was not missed, it did not belong to him in the first place.

These words caused Yin Qian to take another look at him: "I didn't know you were an artist at the time, I didn't know until "Zatching the Moon" aired."

Sheng Min smiled, thought for a moment and said, "But earlier, I had handed over my resume to the crew. Around seventeen..."

"How could it be possible then?" Yin Qian raised his eyebrows frequently.

"The face hasn't opened yet." Sheng Min said, "The company doesn't have too many roles to arrange, so the degree of freedom is higher."

Yin Qianpin laughed at once: "You are too honest...you are seventeen, is "Listening to the Pine"? You have a good eye. That is the third play I wrote...I haven't seen your resume, should it beThe assistant director screened you out."

"Um."

"It's right to screen out. That drama is not suitable for you. Since I rejected you too, then we're even." Yin Qian waved his hand frequently, "You said, you didn't get selected at the age of seventeen, and you couldn't at the age of twenty."play, now?"

"It's up to you now."

"Don't you, you, just call me by my name."

Yin Qianpin supported his head and thought for a while, "Let me just say it. Normally, I don't like to cooperate with famous artists, it's too hypocritical. On the one hand, I think the drama circle is small, and on the other hand, I want to use this circle to gild it. It seems that I have performed two shows.You can boast that your acting skills are good... But the principle is optional, Xiao Xie is your fan, yes, my unsatisfactory assistant director... Among the artists who want to act in my drama, more thanYou are much more famous because I don’t need it, she just came this year and has never seen the market.”

He clicked his tongue twice, full of bookishness and pride: "I have recommended it to me many times. I was dragged to watch your audition video and I can almost memorize it. She said that you are different and very sincere. Let meYixin...Frankly speaking, "Not Just Mountain" matches your temperament, and your acting skills are also passable to me, not to mention, you can be regarded as a bit cutting-edge... On this point, I am a little superstitious,But there is one thing I need to confirm."

Yin Qian gave a subtle pause, and Sheng Min nodded: "It doesn't matter if you can say it directly."

"I know your contract is about to expire, so I don't mind the basic tone... If I choose you, who will I sign the contract with?"

"Sign me."

"You personally?"

"Personally." Sheng Min nodded and answered calmly.

Yin Qianpin couldn't help but look up at his face, Sheng Min's clear eyes didn't hide anything: "Don't lie to me."

"It's something that can be easily verified."

"You're still young."

"So I want to do what I like." Sheng Min felt nervous and unusually peaceful at the moment, "I thought about it too, but I didn't dare. I was hesitant, but a friend persuaded me to give it a try."

"what do you like."

"I like acting." Sheng Min said softly, "I want people who rehearse with me and watch my plays like the show itself, regardless of who I am."

Yin Qian was thoughtful: "Then you will lose a lot of things."

"I've got a lot." Sheng Min smiled lightly.

Yin Qian held his chin in silence, as if judging the truth of the words. After a long time, he finally picked up the words again: "This is big news. If I break the news to Gossip Weekly and I can make a lot of money, your company's stock price will definitely fall......."

He made a joke and said seriously: "I can't promise to use you now. To be honest, there are other options, but I want to give you a chance to continue trying. If you are finally selected, rehearsal plus tour, I hope you can give me at least one full year."

Sheng Min's throat was a little tight. He looked at Yin Qianpin's bright eyes, as if he had returned to the year when he was five years old, and that gentle aunt asked him if he wanted to act.

He was young and didn't understand what she meant. He smelled the rich perfume on her body and didn't dare to look at his aunt's face. He only looked over her shoulder to see the beautiful cluster of flowers behind her.

Later, the orange in the south and the orange in the north, the broken illusion bloomed again at this moment.

Li Xuan was right.Sheng Min smiled, as long as you think about it, there is nothing you can't do.

"Hello." Yin Qian shook his hands frequently in front of his eyes, "Is this OK?"

"Can."

Sheng Min nodded.

Yin Qianpin nodded happily with a smile, and took out a bunch of keys to him: "The office next to it is for you to use, and you can come to rehearse from tomorrow... If you can cooperate in the end, you will really do it well."decided, then maybe we can sign a longer contract."
