box office poison

Chapter 5 chapter 4
For an actor, changing roles is a common thing, but for Director Sun’s play, I got the script half a year ago, and I have already had in-depth contact with the crew, all the contracts, remuneration, and even It's the publicity schedule after the finale, which has already been arranged.

Now I suddenly say no to filming, which really makes people wonder why.

Linda was also ambiguous about the sudden change of roles. She only said that there was a sudden change within the crew. After studying the pros and cons, the company decided to let me give up the filming of this drama.

If I say this reason, I am afraid that even she herself will think it is nonsense, so how can she fool me?

"Linda, you know me well, even if you can't tell me the reason, don't take me for a fool." I said seriously.

This made Linda very embarrassed: "To tell you the truth, I haven't figured out what's going on until now..."

"You don't know, but someone will always know who made the decision? I'll ask him directly." I admitted that I was irritated.

"I think it's better for you not to be too impulsive." Linda persuaded me patiently, "It's hard to change things that have been decided by the superiors. Besides, this time, Mr. Shen personally ordered..."

It turned out to be Shen Lynch?

Although Mr. Shen is the top boss of Xingtian Entertainment, he himself rarely directly manages the activities of his artists. Even my nominal girlfriend, he rarely intervenes in my work.

I'm not one to ask questions, but in this case I thought I'd have to go to him and find out.

When I went aggressively to the company to find Shen Lynch, he was having a meeting to discuss the company's business plan for the second half of the year. My sudden appearance made several department managers look at me strangely.

"I don't know what to do." I heard Manager Yang from the planning department mutter softly behind me.

I know that the way I am now, I really look like those unreasonable supporting actresses in soap operas. That's the case, I might as well pretend to be more like it.

"Crack!" I slapped my hand on Shen Lynch's desk. Due to my inexperience, this slap made my palm burn and hurt. "What's going on, why did you cancel my play?" I asked.

"Come here." Shen Linqi sat there without changing his expression, and stretched out his hand to beckon me.

I'm not your Zhang Xiaoshuai, what a fart you are!My heart was full of anger, but the dog-legged character I had developed over the years made me instinctively walk towards him.

The hand was pulled, and Shen Lynch's slender fingers brushed my red palm.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

My hands froze.

It is said that you don't reach out to hit a smiling person. If he scolds me for not knowing what to do with a straight face now, I may still be able to fight him for a few rounds.But at this moment, I have forgotten the purpose of my coming here.

What am I doing here?Yes, ask the teacher to blame!

I gritted my teeth and shook off Shen Lynch's hand: "Why cancel my show? I need a reasonable reason." I said.

"What play?" He obviously asked knowingly.

"You tell me not to pretend to be with you, and you don't pretend to be with me, you know what I'm talking about."

He finally put away the rare tenderness on his face, and said with a straight face: "That play is not suitable for you."

What is the reason for Mahler next door? "During dinner yesterday, you said you wanted me to act well, why did you say it's not suitable for me today? Shen Lynch, are you kidding me?"

Well, I admit that since I met Shen Lynch until now, I have never disobeyed his decision, but this drama is special.

I still remember a plot in the script, the heroine Xiao Nan came out of school, hurried to the performance with a guitar on her back, and then a car accident happened, and her most beloved guitar was destroyed in that accident.

This reminds me of three years ago, when my younger brother Bai Zhe went to perform with a guitar on his back, when he was passing by an intersection, a speeding transport vehicle ran a red light and knocked him away. Life is more cruel than the script, The car accident only destroyed Xiao Nan's most beloved guitar, but it destroyed my relatives, my home, and even the whole life I had planned for the future.

I once thought selfishly that if I saw this play I acted in, perhaps Ah Zhe would think of something, even if it was just my whimsy.

However, Shen Linqi didn't even give me a whimsical opportunity, why would he do this?Just how much bad money do you have?Just relying on that face that rarely changes an expression in ten thousand years?
At that moment, I wanted to invite him to eat golden crab bucket.

I patted my other painless hand on the table, and put down my words: "If I can't accept this drama, then we're done, Shen Lynch, I want to break up with you!"

I'm mad.

No, no, no, I'm not crazy, I'm just an idiot, mentally handicapped, insane, my head was caught by the door, and I'm living like a dog at my age!
Why should I break up with Shen Lynch?

In the past few days, I have been scolding myself at home every day, saying that impulsiveness is the devil. I must have been possessed by a ghost that day to say such things to my God of Wealth.

A week, a whole week!No announcements, no scripts, no commercials... Even Linda, who regularly delivered egg-filled biscuits to me every morning, suddenly disappeared.

All of the above can only show one thing, I was abandoned.

People say that what is lost is the best. These days, I have fully realized the meaning of this sentence.

Mr. Shen made me understand that without him I am nothing, not the pure girl that the directors are vying for, not the big star that fans are chasing after, even the uncle who sells egg-filled pancakes in the alley doesn't bother to look at me.

The entertainment industry is a battlefield, and it changes every day. I know that if this continues, I will not even be able to afford Bai Zhe's medical expenses.

"Sister, sister..." Ah Zhe touched my face with his hand, and looked at me stupidly, "Sister... Qiuqiu..."

When I recovered, I realized that the ball in A Zhe's hand had somehow rolled under a distant tree.

"Azhe, sit here and don't move, sister will help you get the ball, you know?"

"Okay." Azhe nodded obediently in the wheelchair. His legs and feet are fine, but the doctor still advised me not to let him walk around in order to avoid accidents.

However, in just a few seconds, when I picked up the ball and turned around, I saw that the wheelchair was empty, and Ah Zhe was wrestling with a nearby patient.

I rushed over to stop them, but was pushed away by the out-of-control Azhe. I fell to the ground stupidly, at a loss.

Then the nurses who heard the news rushed up and separated the two of them. A tranquilizer was enough to calm all the farce, but it couldn't calm my heart.

The doctor said that Bai Zhe has become more and more difficult to control himself recently, and it is best to send him to Qiushan Treatment Center.

I know it's not a treatment center at all, it's a hell, where all the severely mentally ill people with no hope of recovery spend the rest of their lives, not allowed to walk around, not allowed to visit relatives, living on sedatives every day, even at the bedside. Still in shackles.

I will never let them do that!After rejecting the doctor's advice, I decided to go back to the company and surrender to Shen Lynch, hoping that everything can be redeemed in time.

The seventh floor of Star Entertainment No.30, the president's office.

When I passed by, the secretary looked at me a little strangely. It is estimated that the quarrel between me and Shen Linqi a week ago has already spread to everyone in the company.

"Sorry Miss Bai, Mr. Shen is resting, you can't go in without an appointment."

I know I have no support now, but it doesn't mean that even a small secretary can look down on me, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse anyway.

I resolutely said: "I want to see him today no matter what. If I don't have an appointment, I will make an appointment now."

The secretary was a little embarrassed: "But Ms. Bai, it's not up to you to make an appointment. Mr. Shen doesn't like others to disturb him when he's resting."

"I don't like people stopping me when I'm looking for someone."

"This..." The secretary who looked down on me just now is very likely to treat me to a golden crab bucket.

At this moment, Shen Lynch's calm voice sounded in the office, and he said, "Let her in."
