Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

A very interesting handicraft.

What kind of beast's teeth are these?

Chen Zhao is not a zoologist and cannot tell the difference.

But it shouldn’t be the teeth of an animal you already have at home.

Chen Zhao is quite familiar with his pets' teeth.

Judging from the size of this tooth, it is about the same size as the princess's teeth.

But it's a little flatter and longer.

Chen Zhao put this so-called 'totem' into his pocket.

Every civilization and culture has its own customs and habits. If you don’t understand them, don’t offend them.

You don't have to like the gifts given to you by others, but at least the kindness should be respected.

On the way home, Chen Zhao took out the totem and took a look at it again.

This totem gave Chen Zhao a very strange feeling.

It's just an inexplicable feeling.

Can't tell what happened.

It's not that this totem has any aura or anything.

It just feels weird.

Chen Zhao thought about it and hung the totem on the rearview mirror.

This is also the habit of Chinese people.

There are always some health and safety talismans hanging on the car.

At this moment, two cars in front suddenly stopped.

Chen Zhao felt that the two cars came into contact intentionally, and then the people in the two cars got out.

Chen Zhao took a look and saw that one of them was an acquaintance, James.

The other one is a woman, about the same age as James.

But it still looks pretty.

The two started arguing on the side of the road. Chen Zhao also parked his car on the side of the road and watched the two arguing.

Well, Chen Zhao is boring enough.

Chen Zhao just wanted to see what they were arguing about.

The woman started grabbing James.

James has always been good at blocking.

"You think you take yourself seriously now that you are the chief director, don't you?" The woman's voice was loud: "You are still a waste. What you make are bad movies and lose money. You are a waste! You will Being banned by the movie company, and then going back to being the same trash as before.”

Chen Zhao took out his cell phone to record, and the woman suddenly noticed the car parked behind her.

Then he looked at Chen Zhao, who was taking pictures with his mobile phone, and immediately turned around and slapped the front hood of Chen Zhao's car with his fist.

This girl was so strong that she dented the front cover of Chen Zhao's truck.

"Get out of the car, you dare to secretly photograph me, which newspaper company you are from? Believe it or not, I will ask your boss to fire you?"

Chen Zhao opened the car door and got out of the car. As soon as James saw Chen Zhao, he immediately grabbed the woman.

"Mr. Chen, why are you here?"

"Okay, James...you deliberately hired a newspaper reporter to plot against me, right? Hand over your phone! Hand it over quickly."

Chen Zhao ignored this naughty woman and looked at James: "Who is she? A celebrity?"

"Stop pretending to me and hand over your phone. Otherwise, you can delete what you recorded. Otherwise, I won't let you go."

"Sara, stop it. You can't offend him. If you offend him, you will be banned from Hollywood in the future." Although James had a fierce argument with this woman, he still seemed to care about her.

"Fart, I have acted in several blockbusters after all. A guy drives a broken truck. Will I be afraid of him?" Sara looked at Chen Zhao disdainfully.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, Sarah is not in a good mental state recently. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"James, the more you mix around, the more you go back. Look what you are like now. You can make you humble and please anyone." Sarah said with contempt on her face: "You deserve to never get ahead."

Sara looked at Chen Zhao again: "Boy, I remember your license plate number. If I see my photo appear in any tabloid tomorrow, I will break your legs."

Chen Zhao shuddered and watched Shala show off her power in front of him before walking away.

"Where did this woman come from?" Chen Zhao asked curiously.

"My ex-wife." James said, "Mr. Chen, she didn't mean to say those words. Please forgive her."

"I'm too lazy to argue with her." Chen Zhao glanced at James: "Do you still have feelings for her?"

"My daughter belongs to her." James' face looked a little ugly.

"How did you get into a fight?"

"She wanted to make Steven's movie, so she came to me." James said: "Don't say that I don't have a say in Steven. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to introduce her."

"Is she a star too?"

"In order to get a promotion, she got close to a director in the industry. She acted in some movies with that director, and she became somewhat famous."

"Within marriage?" Chen Zhao was a little surprised. James also did this himself, often using small roles to attract some actresses.

Unexpectedly, he himself was cuckolded.

James nodded with an ugly expression.

Fortunately, Chen Zhao did not continue to ask further.

After all, this kind of fact is really disgraceful.

"Who is that director? I'll smash their windows to help you vent your anger."

"That director has already faded out of the industry. He failed miserably at the box office and brought huge losses to the film company. He has no more movies to shoot, so Sarah also broke off the relationship with the director. She has no masterpieces, so she is not popular in the industry. There’s nothing to film.”

James and Chen Zhao were sitting on the hood of the car on the roadside chatting.

"My movie is also released on Christmas time. I'm afraid... I will be like that director." James's face suddenly became heavy.

"Don't worry, you will succeed." Chen Zhao patted James on the shoulder.

James is not Steven. When Steven faced that situation, he almost collapsed.

The pressure on James is even greater.

Steven's failure, although it had an impact on his reputation and prestige, was not fatal.

But James is fatal. If a new director cannot prove his ability in commercial films with his first commercial film, resulting in investment losses, the consequence will be to be blacklisted by major film companies.

From then on, I never had the chance to be the chief director again or direct a movie myself.

He could only go back to being Steven's assistant director.

Every director wishes he could direct a movie instead of being someone else's assistant director, even if that person is Steven.

"Is your movie coming out so soon?"

"This is the case for all small-investment movies. After filming, they have about two months to promote, and then they are released directly. There are not many resources. Even Steven can't avoid it, let alone me. But I don't have Steve. Mr. Steven's ability." James said: "Mr. Steven can make a movie with small and medium investment into a myth, but I can't."

Although James has also fantasized about it, he is still relatively clear about his abilities.

"The movie hasn't even been released yet. Do you want to be so pessimistic?"

"There is no way. The competition during the Christmas period is too fierce. DSN Film Company's super A-level production "God of War" is also released at the same time. The production volume alone has squeezed out other films to less than 30%. Films are scheduled, and the filming volume of "Pet Supermarket" is less than 5%, so I can't think of the possibility of success."
