He scolded Director Wang and Wang Yudong a hundred times in his heart. Why did these two bastards always let him go when they fight?

Mr. Wang, don’t break out and smooth things out, “Oh, Director Wang, please calm down. If you have misunderstandings, you can communicate and solve them, don’t be excited.”

Director Wang was not only excited, he was about to stand up and slam the table. He said stubbornly, "There is nothing to communicate with. I think Zhou Xiang is good, so I recommend him as the protagonist. Zhou Xiang, do you dare to answer?"

Zhou Xiang raised his head, and Wang Yudong's eyes fell on his face as sharp as a knife. He forced a smile, "Director Wang, you are really good at joking."

"I never joke if anyone jokes with you. I have been making movies for my whole life, and I can't misjudgment when looking at people. I think you can, you can definitely do it. You agree now. As long as you agree, the protagonist is yours!"

Several investors couldn't sit still and began to persuade them to fight. What they invested in was real money, and what they advertised was that Wang Yudong was the male lead and temporarily replaced an unknown substitute as the male lead. Who can do it? Even Mr. Wang didn't do it.

Zhou Xiang really wanted to get up and leave at this time. Now he didn't want a penny and didn't want to play any supporting roles anymore. He just wanted to stay away from this crew. Wang Yudong is in full swing now and has reached the background of the Yan family. He offended Wang Yudong. Will he still use it in the entertainment industry in the future?

He just wanted to make a living, but he didn't want to make a big fame and fortune.

Wang Yu said in a dark and cloudy way: "Zhou Xiang, let me express my opinion. Director Wang has recommended you so actively. You can't let him down, right?"

Cai Wei wanted to block Zhou Xiang, but before he opened his mouth, he grabbed Mr. Wang. Cai Wei was not worth enough, and whoever talked at this time might become cannon fodder.

Mr. Wang stood up, his face was already very bad, and his tone was not very polite, "Everyone cooperated to this part, the publicity fee was spent, and the early budget was invested in. At this time, there was a conflict, I think it was not good for anyone? Now three investors are all here, to put it bluntly, the boss is the one who paid for it, and the two private grudges are personal grudges. Can you buy face for several of us investors? Don't be irritated and bring personal grudges to your work?"

This has been said to the point, and Mr. Wang’s background should not be underestimated. No one really dares to offend him, and the conference room fell into silence again for a moment.

After a while, Wang Yudong said, "Brother Wang, I definitely dare not give you face. It's just that Director Wang bullies people too much. He has said this. I am also a person with good looks. Director Wang gave this role to others. I can't be shameless to ask Director Wang for it."

The implication is that Director Wang swallowed the angrily words he had spit out.

The stubborn old man, Director Wang, will never compromise. He took a sip of water and said slowly, "Mr. Wang, I'm not acting voluntarily. In my heart, Zhou Xiang is more suitable for this role than Wang Yudong. I can give you many reasons, and I can convince you all. It is definitely not the first time that my movie has been launched. As long as it is the movie I made, I will be responsible for every one of them. No matter which time, I did not disappoint investors. Wang Yudong and I can't cooperate. I can't shoot what I want. Even if it's not Zhou Xiang, I will be someone else. In short, it will definitely not be him Wang Yudong."

Wang Yudong was so angry that his lips were trembling. If his assistant hadn't pressed him, he would have gotten up and left.

Director Wang looked at Wang Yudong provocatively, and then said to the investor, "I'm not talking nonsense. Zhou Xiang can play this role, and he can play this movie well. I don't need Wang Yudong, and I will never cooperate with him anymore. To be clear, if you have him or not, you can replace me."

No one dared to replace the director, Director Wang was really determined this time.

Several investors exchanged helpless eyes with each other. Wang Yudong's face turned pale and wanted to stand up and leave several times, while the others were so angry that they didn't dare to breathe.

Director Wang asked Zhou Xiang, "Zhou Xiang? You say something, do you dare to take it? If you take on this drama, your value will immediately rise, and you will have everything."

Zhou Xiang is not stupid, so how could he easily believe his words?

It is indeed a possibility that it became popular in this drama, but the greater possibility is that it was being criticized by Wang Yudong's fans and being severely excluded by others in the entertainment industry. After acting in this drama, no one dared to work with him. In the end, he could only make another way to make a living.

Those consequences make your scalp numb.

Zhou Xiang is just a quiet little actor. Although he has dreamed of a big star, when it is possible to realize it, his instinctive reaction is just panic.

Mr. Wang sighed heavily, "This matter cannot be decided now. You have to give Zhou Xiang time, let's break up today. Director Wang, I will talk to you alone tomorrow." After that, he pulled Zhou Xiang and left, and Cai Wei followed them closely.

After entering Mr. Wang's office, Mr. Wang was so angry that he kicked the chair and cursed: "One fool and the other one are fools, he will make trouble for me!"

Both of them dared not show up.

I heard that Mr. Wang invested more than 10 million in this movie, which is one of his key investment projects next year. How can he not be in a hurry?

Mr. Wang walked back and forth in the room for a long time before he sat back in the chair panting and looked at Zhou Xiang with his eyes squinting.

Zhou Xiang also glanced at him and whispered: "Mr. Wang, please show me a way. I still want to make a living in the circle, but I don't want to be fired by someone like this."

Mr. Wang tapped the table with his finger, looking very irritable, "You go back first, let me think about this matter. I will talk to Director Wang tomorrow. If he really insists on not wanting Wang Yudong, he has to find someone else. It is probably not your turn. However, if he insists on using you, then you can go there, it is better than others who are cheaper."

Zhou Xiang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wang, I can't play the protagonist, I have always been a substitute."

"If you have a substitute for the rest of your life, then you are a coward." Mr. Wang slapped the table, "Go back and go back, let me think about it, I will call you in two days."

Zhou Xiang turned around and wanted to leave, and Cai Wei wanted to follow him, so Mr. Wang called him, "Cai Wei, stay."

Cai Wei pinched your Zhou Xiang's shoulder. The caring look made Zhou Xiang feel a little better. Zhou Xiang forced a grin and lowered his head and left.

New Year's Day is in two days, but Zhou Xiang has always been in a heavy mood.

He was waiting for Mr. Wang's call these days, but he never received it. Yan Mingxiu has not gone home these days, and there is no one call. Zhou Xiang thought he was going home for the festival and would attend Wang Yudong's engagement banquet after the festival. He probably wouldn't come back in the past few days. If it were normal, Zhou Xiang would definitely call and send text messages, but now his mind is in chaos and he can't get interested. Besides, Yan Mingxiu may not be able to find it.

Cai Wei called him, and said it bluntly, meaning that as long as Director Wang insisted, Zhou Xiang must take on this role. Because Zhou Xiang didn't answer, Wang Yudong had already offended him, and his life would definitely not be easy to get along in the future. If Zhou Xiang took it, he would still have a chance to become famous and he will rise to the top from now on, and Wang Yudong couldn't control him. This is actually a bet on whether Zhou Xiang has that fate.

Zhou Xiang felt that Cai Wei was quite reasonable, so he asked Cai Wei if this was Mr. Wang’s meaning.

Cai Wei hesitated for a long time before saying no, it was his own intention.

Zhou Xiang did not make any statement at the time, just said that he should think about it carefully. In fact, he especially hoped that Mr. Wang could show him a way out. He really couldn't think about it himself. He hoped that Mr. Wang, who has always been wise and knowledgeable, could make this decision on his behalf.

So he was anxiously waiting for Mr. Wang's call.

On the second day of New Year's Day, the night when Wang Yudong got engaged, he did not wait for Mr. Wang's call, but waited for Yan Mingxiu's.

It was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and Zhou Xiang had already fallen asleep, but was woken up by the phone.

When he saw that it was Yan Mingxiu, he pressed the call button without thinking. A strange voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello sir, is the owner of this phone your friend?"

"Ah, yes, who are you?" Zhou Xiang suddenly became nervous. He was really afraid that the other party would say that they were in the hospital.

The other party said, "Your friend is drunk. This phone call is his most common contact person. Come and pick him up. We will close in one hour."

Zhou Xiang sighed, "Drunk? He's alone?"

"Yes, it's just one person."

Zhou Xiang put on his pants and said, "You send the address to my phone."

Zhou Xiang drove to the bar as fast as possible. Only employees were left in the bar, sweeping the floor and wiping cups to close the door. Yan Mingxiu was lying on the sofa beside him, drunk.

Zhou Xiang squatted beside him and patted his red face. Yan Mingxiu had no reaction at all.

He asked the bartender, “How long has he been drinking?”

"He came over at around nine o'clock, and didn't talk, but kept drinking."

This was obviously a posture of drinking alone. He couldn't figure out why Yan Mingxiu came to drink alone. Isn't today the day when his sister and Wang Yudong got engaged? Why didn't he live at home?

Zhou Xiang paid the money for the wine and got Yan Mingxiu into his car with the help of the bartender.

Zhou Xiang's family lives on the third floor, and there is no elevator in the old house. When he carried Yan Mingxiu home with his arms, he was already sweating all over the place on the cold winter lunar month.

After throwing Yan Mingxiu onto the bed, Zhou Xiang sat on the edge of the bed and gasped for a long time. Yan Mingxiu was so heavy.

After resting for a while, he got up and took off Yan Mingxiu's coat, trousers, shoes and socks, until only the underwear was left, and then stuffed him into the quilt. Afraid that he would catch a cold, Zhou Xiang also opened the electric blanket.

Zhou Xiang went to the bathroom to get a towel, soaked it in hot water and wrung it out, and used it to wipe Yan Mingxiu's face.

Yan Mingxiu was drunk and wiped it a few times. Yan Mingxiu turned over and slowly opened his eyes, but his eyes were very confused and there was no focus.

Zhou Xiang shouted softly: "Ming Xiu?"

Yan Mingxiu opened his mouth and made a strange sound in his throat, but Zhou Xiang didn't hear it clearly.

Zhou Xiang was about to get up and pour him a glass of water, but Yan Mingxiu grabbed him. This time Zhou Xiang heard something, Yan Mingxiu was screaming.
