The leisurely life of rebirth

The closing banquet is brought forward just to give investors face.

Wang Tao looked at these familiar faces and felt a little curious. He had been focusing on technology and really didn't have time to see this colorful world. In the future, when he becomes successful and famous, there may be hope.

However, I hope that by then, my physical fitness will be able to keep up.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou You with envy again.

I'm really envious. I'm young and in good health. I'm at my peak, and I'm not killing anyone.

Zhou You looked at Chen Baizhen sitting next to him with mixed feelings in his heart.

The little girl's choice was right. Only those who dare to give will be rewarded. At least she is not the kind of person who plays for nothing. After this movie, she became famous all over the world.

So what if other actors are good at acting? I can only wait and see if there is a chance.

Now that I see myself coming, I can feel her nervousness and peace of mind. Even if I support her, she still needs to have the proper acting skills. During this period, she was repeatedly rubbed against Zhou Xingxing.

The other people are also a little bit excluded, and they intervene halfway, and they are still one of the heroines. How can they not be envious and jealous?

But, this is the law of survival in this world. Many people who work hard can't get ahead of those who are close to the water.

"Brother You, try this."

"Brother You, drink less."

"Brother You, drink some boiled water."

Regardless of whether it was just for fun or sincere, outsiders have seen it anyway, know the background, and come to support it. Even if there are complaints, the consequences must be considered.

This is what many company leaders like to do the most. They like to see their subordinates trying to kill them but being unable to do so.

Zhang Yuqi's teeth started to itch as he watched from the side, and he toasted Zhou You again: "Mr. Zhou, I respect you. You can do whatever you want with me."

After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Zhou You saw Zhang Yuqi's reddish face and heroic style. No wonder he was able to do those things in the later period, with a clear goal.

That is to say, she caught up with the good times, caught up with the explosion of women's rights, attracted many fans, and was named a pioneer representative of women.

"Well, my drinking capacity is a little bad. Drink less. You can drink more. Filming is not easy. It's finally finished. You can relax a little." Zhou You said with concern.

Deng Chao took advantage of the gap and took a bite of the food: "I'm okay. The main reason is that Director Zhou and Xiao Chen are too tired. It takes a long time for the mermaid to put on makeup, and it's troublesome to take it off every time. It's so tiring."

Zhou You waved his hand: "This is just a bowl of rice to eat. Which job is not tiring? A cleaner is not tired, a construction worker is not tired?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded and agreed: "That's true. At that time, we couldn't say that we were all working hard in acting, but we were also very dedicated. Is this a job for us to make a living? Besides, everyone wants to do such a tiring job. Well, many people don’t have a chance.”

Deng Chao didn't blush: "No wonder Brother You is a university teacher. This realm is different. I can't reach such a realm. I still have to study more in the future."

"You must study. This way, it will give you a chance to go to my school and teach my students when you are free."

After Zhou finished talking, he said to Zhou Xingxing: "If Director Zhou is free, I hope I can go to class."

"Mr. Wang will definitely go too, but not now. You are too busy now. You will definitely go and see me when you have time in the future."

"What can I say if I go? I'm a bad student, Brother You." Deng Chao declined, mainly because he was embarrassed, but of course he still wanted to go.
"Small class, my professional course students, originally invited people from all walks of life to go there to give them some insights." Zhou You said, and you could see that Deng Chao was a little moved.

"Then I'll be fine."

"I don't have any problem here. I'm just waiting for the roadshow promotion. I'm going to Luzhou, so I'm afraid it will cause trouble to Teacher Zhou." Zhou Xingxing nodded with a smile.

The rise back then was inseparable from the support of young people, which is also a symbol in the hearts of many people born in the 1980s. They used to go to many schools, but now young people don’t know what the taste is, so they just want to go and check it out.

Wang Tao was very happy: "Hey, I really want to be a teacher in university. My tutor also advised me to stay in school, but I am too wild-minded. I am really tired now. When I get really tired in the future, maybe I will. Go to a school and work part-time as a teacher."

Zhou You patted Wang Tao on the shoulder and said confidently: "You are a good university teacher. You are leisurely and comfortable. There is no pressure for people like us. Anyway, we are all people who do not strive for advancement."

That's true. I'm going to take care of graduate students soon, and I don't know how to choose. It's a headache. I have to take at least two more.

Wang Tao waved his hand: "You are a good teacher. Those who only follow the instructions are not good teachers. You find resources for them and provide support. Students are lucky to meet you, and I am lucky to meet you."

This sentence touches everyone's heart, and most of them benefit from it.

Let’s raise a toast to Zhou You: “We are lucky to have met Mr. Zhou, and we hope we can continue to be lucky in the future.”

The cups and plates are in a mess, the wine is gone and people are scattered.

Chen Baizhen did not shy away from suspicion at all, and helped Zhou You, who was slightly tipsy, back to the hotel.

The rest of the people could only cast envious glances, some envied Zhou You and some envied Chen Baizhen.

Accompanied by them, Wang Tao went to the set for a brief look, and then left. There were a lot of things in the company, and the goal was achieved, so it didn't matter. Many things were really better to keep in mind, and there was one thought. I think it would be bad if we really got along for a long time.

Especially for people in the entertainment industry, everything on the screen is superficial, given by the script, has routines, and is restrained, so they are attractive.

Only seeing the good side will certainly attract people.

However, they are all living people, how can they be perfect?

Traveling around is getting lazier and lazier now, especially after Jingxiang's service in Japan, I really don't want to move at all.

He opened his hands and acted like a boss, but he was actually like a four or five-year-old child who needed to be taken care of.

Chen Baizhen smiled, understanding what Zhou You meant, and began to help him undress and wash up. Although he was a little unfamiliar, it was a unique experience.

Especially at the end, when helping Zhou You to bed and coaxing him to sleep, he had to do a lot of extra actions.

Otherwise, she would be distressed and cheating. Once she wandered around and cheated, she would beat herself up and make Chen Baizhen cry. In order to avoid suffering any more, Chen Baizhen used her subjective initiative. In the later stage, she really couldn't stand it anymore, so she just put on the mermaid's clothes. props.

Only by doing COSplay and then simulating performances can I pass the test.

After seeing Zhou You falling asleep, he couldn't hold on any longer and closed his eyes to sleep.

He didn't even want to take off the mermaid tail prop, and he lay heavily on the bed, motionless!
In a daze, I touched a big fish. I was traveling in ecstasy and dreamed of catching a big fish. Now it seems that it was not a dream, but a real big fish.

As a fisherman, there is nothing more satisfying than making your dreams come true.

Suddenly I woke up.

I have to carry the fish around the community three times.
After sitting up, I realized that I was really having a dream, and I didn’t know what was going on. How could I have such a dream about catching a big fish?

At this time, Chen Baizhen also woke up and saw Zhou You touching his fish tail and sighing.

He supported Zhou You and moved forward: "Brother You, what's wrong? Is the fish's tail in the way today?"

"No, I just dreamed of catching a big fish. I was so happy that I didn't know I woke up." Zhou You said helplessly.

Chen Baizhen covered her mouth and laughed. It's true that the more contact she has, the more cute she becomes. Such a big boss is really pretty good and he doesn't have much airs. Unlike some people, they really have several faces. .

One face to the next.

When facing superiors and outsiders, you should be polite and submissive. You should agree to whatever others say, and you must give others face. Anyway, you are not spending your own money or using your own resources.

When facing subordinates, his airs rise, and he behaves like a heroic or local emperor, scolding and squeezing at will, sacrificing the interests of his subordinates and the unit to satisfy his own selfish desires.

Anyway, Chen Baizhen summed it up.

"Those who are flattering to those above will be vicious to those below."

That is, the idiom of flattering the superior and bullying the inferior is really true. The idiom that has been passed down through the ages really makes sense and is also a portrayal of real life.

Zhou You saw some changes in Chen Baizhen's mood. He touched the fish's tail and asked, "What's wrong? Weren't you happy during the filming?"

Chen Baizhen shook her head: "No, I'm still very happy. The shooting is complete and the quality is good. There is a high chance that it will be famous. After all, it is Director Zhou's work."

"I just think of the time when I was on the set before, and the time when I am on the set now."

"Is there any difference?" Zhou You asked curiously.

Chen Baizhen smiled bitterly and leaned on Zhou You's shoulder: "Brother You, the difference is huge."

"It turns out that there is no one to protect me. Not to mention how miserable it is to be bullied. After all, I am an actor, and I am a group actor below. Small roles are even worse, but no one cares, no one asks, and I am being tricked secretly."

"There used to be a director who really had a good reputation outside, but basically those who worked with him didn't say anything good about him."

Zhou You continued to touch the fish's tail and asked, "Oh, what's going on? Are you so good at hiding it?"

"It's not that he's hiding, but that the entertainment industry is so big. He has managed to become a director and has a few works. We can only cooperate for so long, and there is a high probability that we will not cooperate in the future. So basically everyone swallows their anger and quits. One step will open up the sky." Chen Baizhen said, her tone full of helplessness.

"In front of outsiders and investors, he has a different face. He is cautious and cautious, and his observation of words and demeanor is first-rate. Therefore, he still has some reputation in front of outsiders and unfamiliar people."

He no longer cares about his tail when he travels around: "This person is very complicated. Some have schizotypal personality and some have a performative personality. Anyway, there are all kinds of people. But since I have met him, I must take care of it. I can't let my mermaid suffer." It’s a grievance, but it can be considered as a way to purify the circle and make a contribution to everyone.”

Chen Baizhen shook her head: "Forget it, Brother You, just don't have such contact in the future."

"You just treat people like this like a piece of shit and just walk around. Sometimes you don't know how to become a director. Those two works are not famous either. They brag about them everywhere, even to the bosses of major entertainment companies. We all know how powerful we were back then.”

"When I talk, I turn around and over and over again. It's all fake and not pragmatic at all. I arrange a film, go here and there, and change the script in a mess. In the end, no one knows how to act. This is what everyone is required to do.”

Zhou You hugged Chen Baizhen, looked at her sad face, and asked softly: "Then what did you do?"

"What else can be done?"

"No one who is capable will come to this crew, and no one who knows his reputation will come."

"Anyone who is willing to come is either a young actor like me who doesn't have much of a future. Anyway, joining a crew is a crew. No matter what, it is also a qualification to the outside world."

"What else can we, the bottom class, do? We can just survive on our own."

"In this regard, he often shamelessly said that so-and-so worked with him in the past and is now a big star. It was only under his guidance that we have our current future. If we don't listen to him, we will have no future. This It’s for our own good.”

Hearing this, Zhou You was really heartbroken.

We don’t know how many such scum there are in society, causing harm to this society and the people.

"What's this guy's name and how old is he?"

"He's over forty, and his name is Gou Ren. We'll give him a nickname, Goubuli, or just Dog Man." Chen Baizhen couldn't help but laugh when she said this. The bottom class also has its little fun, and they can't afford to offend him. , just slander your reputation behind your back.

Each has its own survival strategy, which is nothing more than a counterattack by the vulnerable, although such counterattack may be limited.

Zhou You shook his head: "I've never heard of it, and I have no impression of it. What's the name of the work?"

"I won't talk about the work. I guess you have never heard of it. I have never heard of it in the circle. It seems that only a few people have seen it. It was bought and put in the film and television library to recharge."

"Okay, next time I'll ask Yang Mi for more details. We won't cooperate with such people in the future."

Zhou You thought for a while and continued: "Everyone has his own style, which is normal, but you must either have the ability or at least be good at being a good person. Most directors are very strict, but they are all for the sake of filming. Pursue better.”

"From what you described, I can give you a rough description of this person. Do you think it's right?"

"This person's family must be unhappy?"

Chen Baizhen said happily: "Well, I am not happy at all. I have been divorced three times and have several children who have to pay child support. I don't care about my family at all."

"This person has low self-esteem?"

Chen Baizhen was so excited that she took off her fish tail: "Yes, I have very low self-esteem. I often pretend to let people give me opinions. However, as long as you put forward different opinions, I will find various reasons to refute you and let you I can’t get off the stage.”

"If your suggestion is very reasonable and everyone agrees with it, he will get angry and directly PUA you and use the director's authority to suppress you."

"It's been a long time, and everyone understands that what you say is what it is. Anyway, if it takes too long to finish the crew, the investors won't agree with it." (End of Chapter)
