I really don't want to be in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 23 It Was The Spare Tire

...

After a while, Xu Li came back.

Xu Kai introduced Xu Li as his younger brother.

Dong Ni and Pan Xiaowei didn't care why Xu Kai's surname was Yu and Xu Li's surname was Xu, because this is very common in the entertainment industry.

Moreover, Xu Kai only said that Xu Li is his younger brother, but he didn't say that Xu Li is his own younger brother. Can't he be a cousin?

The point is, Dong Ni and Pan Xiaowei didn't pay attention to Xu Kai and Xu Li being brothers at all - Dong Ni and Pan Xiaowei couldn't believe that Xu Kai, who was only in his 20s, was bigger than Xu Li, who was at least 35 .

It wasn't until Xu Kai said that he was 31 and Xu Li was only 29 that Dong Ni and Pan Xiaowei were dubious.

"Are you also in this group?" Xu Kai asked Dong Ni and Pan Xiaowei.

"I play Yu Lianying's mistress."

Dong Ni asked Xu Kai: "What about you?"

"I'm your man." Xu Kai said with a smile.

"Hate~ Don't take advantage of me." Dong Ni glared at Xu Kai.

"My elder brother didn't take advantage of you. He played the role of Yu Lianying, and I played the role of Police Officer Liang." Xu Li said.

"Uh...you are really my man." Dong Ni said in amazement.

Pan Xiaowei couldn't hear the conversation between Xu Kai and the three of them, so he interrupted and said, "I'm playing Pan Tingwei, the second male lead. I have scenes with you brothers, so you must take care of me when the time comes."

"We take care of each other."

Xu Kai, who didn't want to offend anyone, picked what Pan Xiaowei liked to hear and said, "Are you Dong Shishi's boyfriend?"

Before Pan Xiaowei could be happy, Dong Ni said with some distaste: "I told you, he's just my classmate, not my boyfriend."

"It's not a matter of time."

Then Pan Xiaowei said to Xu Kai and Xu Li with a playful smile: "I am still in the probationary period. Shishi said in her sophomore year that she would inspect me for three years. If I perform well in these three years, she will let me become a full-time member. Now I have After two years, there is one year left, no, there are 298 days left, and she will be my girlfriend."

"It turned out to be a spare tire."

Xu Kai instantly understood the relationship between the two.

……

Xu Kai and Xu Li stepped forward, but it was still early.

Not only the male lead Ji Zhaode, the female lead Zhang Zhiwei, the producer Wang Bin and the director Lin Da did not come, but even the female Er Hu Man and the third female Ren Lili did not come.

This was somewhat beyond Xu Kai's expectation.

Forget about others, Linda is a play lunatic, he was late no matter what, this is too unlike Linda's style.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Ji Zhaode arrived late.

Unlike Xu Kai and the others who didn't know anything, Ji Zhaode looked around as soon as he arrived, and then asked with a smile, "Haven't they finished arguing yet?"

Seeing that Ji Zhaode seemed to know something, Pan Xiaowei immediately stepped forward to ask: "Brother Zhaode, what happened, can this promotional photo be taken today?"

Pan Xiaowei’s great-grandfather opened a theater in Shanghai during the Republic of China. At that time, Longxing Theater, one of the top 10 theaters in Shanghai, was his family’s ancestral property.

Later, the movie became popular, and Longxing Cinema became Longxing Cinema, which was handed down to Pan Xiaowei's father, Pan Xulong.

Ten years ago, Pan Xulong went bankrupt and mortgaged Longxing Cinema to buy three other movie theaters. Then he joined forces with many movie theaters to establish Longxing Times Film Company and started a theater business.

With the development of the past ten years, Longxing Times Film Company has become a small and medium theater chain with nearly a hundred screens.

Moreover, in recent years, Pan Xulong has been seeking diversified development, and has extended the tentacles of Longxing Times Film Company to the field of production and distribution.

Although it doesn't have a lot of shares, Longxing Times Film Company is also one of the producers of "Escape".

This is also the reason why Pan Xiaowei, a first-year student of Central Opera, can become the second male lead of "Escape".

Although the Longxing Times Film Company is not comparable to those big film and television companies, it is one of the joint theater chains that controls [-]% of the screens in Shanghai.

United Cinemas and several other powerful theater companies have formed the Kyushu Film Distribution Alliance, becoming one of the few distribution giants in China.

With such a background, even Ji Zhaode, a popular kung fu superstar, is unwilling to offend Pan Xiaowei, lest he cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

Therefore, seeing that there were no reporters around, Ji Zhaode said bluntly to Pan Xiaowei: "There are four main female characters in this play, you know that?"

"The first female Zhang Zhiwei will play your girlfriend, the second female Hu Man will play my girlfriend, the third female Ren Lili will play your ex-wife, and the fourth female Shishi will play Brother Yu's lover. Who doesn't know this, but what does it have to do with this matter? ?”

"The relationship is over."

"Well... To be precise, the problem lies with Zhang Zhiwei and Ren Lili."

"I don't know what Ren Lili did to offend Zhang Zhiwei."

"But I know that when Zhang Zhiwei was discussing the script with Lin Da this morning, he hinted to Lin Da that Ren Lili has too many scenes, which will slow down the overall rhythm of the movie."

"Zhang Zhiwei also took the classic Hollywood movie "Le Huo Wushuang" as an example, which means to show Ren Lili a set of shots killed by Yu Qingyun, and then I recall it once is enough, there is no need to create an extra character."

Pan Xiaowei said in astonishment: "Then Ren Lili's role is almost cut off?"

"Who said it wasn't?"

"But Lin Dazhen was persuaded by Zhang Zhiwei, and temporarily deleted Ren Lili's scene, leaving only one scene."

Pan Xiaowei's eyes widened: "Ren Lili's love...friend is Feiying's general manager Fu Jieyang, and Feiying is also one of the producers of "Escape" and one of the co-fa companies. Isn't Linda afraid of Feiying's divestment and Set up obstacles for the release of "Escape"?"

Seeing that Pan Xiaowei understood the intricate relationship, Ji Zhaode became even more unscrupulous: "You are right, Ren Lili quit immediately after hearing the news. She found Wang Bin and asked the crew to give her an explanation. She has a good relationship withdrew the capital and has to sue the crew."

"Wang Bin became angry after hearing this, and then took Ren Lili to find Lin Da, trying to make Lin Da give up this ridiculous decision."

Ji Zhaode gloated and said, "I heard on the way here that Wang Bin, Lin Da, Zhang Zhiwei, and Ren Lili had a fierce quarrel. Wang Bin, who is always good-tempered, swears. It is said that the process is more exciting than the movie. I really envy Hu Man , to be able to watch this big show on the spot.”

For such things, Xu Kai, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years in his previous life, is no stranger to it.

Xu Kai could guess with his heels that Ren Lili must have taken or robbed Zhang Zhiwei's role by relying on the backstage. Zhang Zhiwei was even more ruthless, using Linda's paranoid personality to directly sweep Ren Lili out of the game, and this time Linda undoubtedly It was because Wang Bin's bottom line was touched that Wang Bin no longer tolerated Linda.

This kind of thing is unreasonable. It can only talk about means, background, and ability. In the end, the winner is the prince and the loser is the bandit. There is no right or wrong.

Xu Li, on the other hand, couldn't believe it: "The publicity photo is about to be taken, how can such a big thing happen?"

"You are Xiao Yu, right? I heard that you are quite vigorous. You dare to jump where I dare not."

While speaking, Ji Zhaode walked towards Xu Kai.

"Sure enough, the crew will always be like this. Zhang Zhiwei attacked Ren Lili, and Ji Zhaode is also coming to trouble me."

Like a mirror in his heart, Ji Zhaode did what he didn't dare to do, which caused Ji Zhaode to lose his reputation and embarrassment. Ji Zhaode will definitely not give up easily.

So Xu Kai didn't bother to pretend: "It's me."

Give Xu Li a look of don't worry, Xu Kai said again: "I don't have Wei Shao's family background and background, and I'm not like Brother Ji, who has worked hard in the entertainment industry for more than ten years and is famous and well-connected. If you get ahead, all you have to do is work hard.”

Xu Kai put on this posture that I am not afraid of death just to climb up, which really bluffed Ji Zhaode a bit.

Unlike Xu Kai, who is poor and white, Ji Zhaode has a net worth of hundreds of millions. The key point is that Ji Zhaode, who is only in his early 40s, still has a bright future. How can he be as bachelor as Xu Kai?

Moreover, Ji Zhaode, who also climbed up step by step from the bottom, knows very well that a person like Xu Kai who dares to bet his life must not be rushed, otherwise he would really dare to risk his life with you.

His eyes moved, and Ji Zhaode pulled back the words again: "It's good for young people to work hard, but they shouldn't be too impulsive. After all, there is only one life, and if you lose it, you'll lose everything."

"I'd rather die on the road to success than live an ordinary life." Xu Kai continued to pretend recklessly.

Seeing that Xu Kai really seemed like the kind of person who would give up anything for the sake of fame and fortune, Ji Zhaode didn't dare to fight Xu Kai anymore.

Everyone waited for a while bored.

Ji Zhaode suddenly suggested: "Why don't we play cards, how about Doudizhu?"

As soon as Dong Ni heard about Dou Di Zhu, she immediately echoed and said, "Dou Land Zhu is good, count me in."

"Little girl, we play 1 bottoms, are you sure you want to play?" Ji Zhaode said with a smile.

Dong Ni stuck out her tongue when she heard the beating was so loud: "Then I won't play anymore."

Seeing Ji Zhaode scaring Dong Ni, Pan Xiaowei was not happy: "The bottom of 1, 100 million will definitely stop, Shishi, you play with them, if you lose, it's mine, if you win, it's yours."

Although Dong Ni is a bit of a money fanatic, she usually rubs against Pan Xiaowei to order water, food, gifts, etc., but she will never do such things that would cost Pan Xiaowei a lot of money. She doesn't want Pan Xiaowei to follow her suitor. Become a caretaker.

"If you want to play with yourself, I won't play."

Seeing that Dong Ni didn't even take such a big advantage, Pan Xiaowei liked Dong Ni even more.

In front of the person he likes, how can Pan Xiaowei back down?
So Pan Xiaowei puffed out his chest: "If I play, I will play."

Seeing that Pan Xiaowei joined the battle, Ji Zhaode turned his head to Xu Kai: "Xiao Yu, why don't you join us too?"
