Boss, He Is Chasing Stars Again Chapter 79
byChapter 79 Chapter 79 “You should watch less idols…
“You’d better watch less idol dramas.”
Shi Xingze didn’t take Jian Xingzhi’s joking words to heart at all, but was worried about another thing: “I may be about to enter the next crew, and then you will be alone again.”
Jian Xingzhi was a little disappointed when he heard this, but quickly adjusted his mood: “I can go and see you secretly.On the other hand, you have to go to school and film. Can you split your time?”
Shi Xingze nodded: “Okay, this is a small-cost online drama. The filming locations are basically in the city, and the filming will not last long.My character had a lot of scenes lying on the hospital bed. The time was not as tight as it was with Director Ye, and I could still take time off and go back to class.”
But this will be very hard for Shi Xingze, especially when there are homework and exams at the end of the semester.
When Shi Xingze saw Jian Xingzhi frowning, most of the pressure in his heart was relieved. He smiled and stretched out his hand to rub away his frown: “Stop frowning, you’re not handsome anymore.”There’s nothing I can do about it, it’s harder at the end of the year.But there is good news. Brother Long told me that for my role in “The Way the Wind Blows”, I might compete for the Best Newcomer Award in a TV Series. Isn’t it great?”
Although he may not be able to win this award, being shortlisted is an affirmation for him, and he should be a little proud!
Jian Xingzhi looked at Shi Xingze, who was proudly looking like a little fox, and stretched out his hand to scratch his nose: “I know, I will watch the award ceremony when the time comes.I just feel sorry for you because you are under too much pressure. Don’t exhaust yourself.”
Especially the way Shi Xingze ran back and hugged him today. It was obvious that he had cried after returning home. His eyes were as red as a rabbit, and he looked distressed.
Shi Xingze nodded and asked about the aunt by the way: “The soup cooked by Aunt Zhou is delicious. Can I apply for this treatment in the new crew?”
“Of course.” Jian Xingzhi will definitely satisfy his boyfriend with this small request. He is also worried that Shi Xingze can’t take care of him. But just now, Jian Xingzhi mentioned that she wanted to take him home seriously, so she asked Shi Xingze’s opinion again: “What about going home?”
Shi Xingze saw that he was serious, so he also took the question seriously: “Why don’t we wait until after the awards show is over?Maybe I can become a little more famous like this.”This gives him some confidence.
The awards show that Shi Xingze mentioned will be at the end of the year. At that time, the outstanding TV series of the year will be reviewed and the best actor and actress awards, best director awards, etc. will be selected.The drama starring Shi Xingze will be finished at the end of this month, and considering the time, he can also compete for the Best Newcomer Award.
And the movie he filmed, “The House”, won’t be released until May next year at the earliest, and it hasn’t even been released yet.
Jian Xingzhi respected his decision, but they were about to separate again. Jian Xingzhi hugged Shi Xingze reluctantly: “How about you stay with me recently?”
Shi Xingze: “…You said it’s best to simply accompany you.”
Jian Xingzhi bit him on the side of his neck, and the meaning was self-evident.
Shi Xingze looked in the mirror and used concealer to cover up the red marks on his neck and collarbone bit by bit, and muttered in a low voice: “I told him not to leave any traces, but this guy really is.”
He went to meet the director and screenwriter of the “Enlightenment” crew, and the director’s appearance was somewhat beyond his expectation.
The director of “Enlightenment” is Lian Haisheng. He is about forty years old. He is dressed a bit slovenly and has green stubble on his chin. He doesn’t look like a director.
“Come on, sit down quickly and tell me your understanding of this drama.”Lian Haisheng took away the coat that was lying on the sofa, patted the empty space and motioned for Shi Xingze to sit down. Screenwriter Jia Hui was not here today, and Lian Haisheng was the only one to see him.
Shi Xingze looked at this crew that didn’t look like a serious crew from the inside out, but he still sat down and expressed his thoughts: “I think there are many things worth thinking about in this script, especially the character of Zhou Qiguang, which should be explored in depth.But what attracts me to this script is that this story is so similar to an adaptation of real events. Even the director, does this drama have a prototype?”
Lian Haisheng’s eyelids moved, but he did not answer Shi Xingze’s question: “Oh, is it important whether there is a prototype?Life is like a play, and play is like life. All it takes is a good script.”
Seeing him like this, Shi Xingze stopped asking any more questions and changed the subject: “Zhou Qiguang’s early reaction was somewhat disconnected from his later ending. Is this intentional?The screenwriting teacher is not here today, and I originally wanted to discuss this issue.”
“Oh, there are always imperfections in our small-budget online dramas. Can you tell me where they are?” Lian Haisheng grabbed the peanuts on the table, pinched them with two fingers, rubbed off the red skin on the outside of the peanuts and threw it into his mouth: “If you want to eat it, peel it yourself, you’re welcome.”
Shi Xingze shook his head and said to Lian Haisheng: “The tone of Zhou Qiguang’s whole person is gloomy and depressing, if I have to say it is more like a cloudy day before it rains.Why is it that when such a person talks to the police at the end, there is a sense of relief in his words that does not belong to him, and it does not seem to be the same style before and after.”
Lian Haisheng laughed dryly: “Can you still see this?The young actors today are really amazing.Well, I heard from your agent that you have to go back to school recently. Look at us.This shooting progress…?”
Shi Xingze immediately promised: “It won’t be a problem, I have already coordinated with the teacher, and we will be able to finish filming this movie before the year.”
“That’s for sure. Our script is small in size, and the online drama channel is only about 20 episodes, so it won’t delay things.Since there is no problem on your side, if there is no problem, we will sign the contract. The time of the other actors has been set and they are waiting to start filming.”
Shi Xingze nodded affirmatively: “No problem.”
Seeing Lian Haisheng’s strange attitude, he always felt that there might be a prototype behind this script, which made him more and more interested.
But it doesn’t matter, they still have to shoot here for a while. He believes that if he performs better, Lian Haisheng will definitely tell him.
Brother Long had read the contract with him in advance. In order to avoid what happened at Fantasy Entertainment happening again, Brother Long never forgot to take it to Jian Xingzhi’s company’s legal affairs department every time he read it.
Humph, he has kidnapped Shi Xingze and asked him to help the contract office, right?
Shi Xingze couldn’t laugh or cry when he found out what Brother Long had done. How much resentment did Brother Long have towards Jian Xingzhi?Next time he chats, he wants to talk to Jian Xingzhi about Brother Long, so as to slightly change Jian Xingzhi’s impression in Brother Long’s mind.
I don’t know what Jian Xingzhi is doing now?
“Why don’t we leave, in case our son sees us and gets angry.”
Jian’s father followed Jian’s mother and sneakily followed Jian Xingzhi into the company, hoping to see who had fascinated his son.
However, Shi Xingze was going out to film recently, and Jian Xingzhi was the only one in the empty house. Jian Xingzhi felt bored after staying there for two days, so he went home again, and worked diligently between home and work every day.
Jian’s mother forced Jian’s father to join her, because if she was discovered, she wouldn’t have done it alone.She carefully led Jian’s father into the elevator, and poked her head at Jian Xingzhi’s door to listen to what was going on inside, as if she was talking to someone about business.
They didn’t dare to disturb him, and quietly looked through the crack in the door after the last person left.Although Jian Xingzhi told them that he liked celebrities, who knew if he was lying to them.
But as soon as they poked their heads out, the door in front of them was suddenly opened, and Jian Xingzhi looked at them expressionlessly: “Dad, Mom, if you don’t stay at home well, why did you come to the company? Are you here to work for me?”
“Bah, bah, don’t talk nonsense, of course you’re going to work when you’re back!Your mother and I… just came to see you, haha…” Jian’s father immediately refused when he heard the word “go to work” because he really didn’t want to go to work.
Since they were all discovered anyway, Jian’s mother stopped hiding and walked directly into the office and asked Jian Xingzhi: “How did you know that your father and I came to see you?”
Jian Xingzhi pointed to the surveillance camera above his head and said to them: “You guys pretended this before. I saw it as soon as you two came in.Forgot?”
Jian Xingzhi was talking to the other party just now, and Assistant Yu reminded him that someone was outside his door. He would know it when he turned on the surveillance camera.It was his parents who sneaked over.
“Tell me, why are you here with me?”Jian Xingzhi took out the tea they loved to drink from the cabinet, and added hot water to serve to them.
Jian’s mother looked around Jian Xingzhi’s office and seemed to find no trace of anyone else, so she asked him straight to the point: “You told us before that you liked a celebrity, why didn’t you put her photo on the table?”
Of course it’s to protect you.
Jian Xingzhi said half-seriously: “It’s not good to let others see it.”
“Okay, okay.Mother Jian took a sip of water impatiently: “Which star is it?”Please tell me and your dad quickly, don’t let us guess all day long, at least let us know something.The entertainment industry is very chaotic, so when it comes to love, you need to investigate it carefully.You are young and ignorant, and you still need your parents to keep you in check.”
Seeing their attitude that they must know today, Jian Xingzhi had no choice but to tell Shi Xingze about meeting them in advance: “Don’t ask so many questions.Recently he went to film a movie and you couldn’t see him even if you wanted to.I have already made a promise to him that after the awards ceremony at the end of the year, I will bring him to see you, so you can rest assured, right?”
We’re going to meet now?!
Mother Jian suddenly panicked: “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were going to meet?When is the award ceremony you mentioned?”
Jian’s father was also a little dissatisfied: “Look, we don’t know who it is, so why are we meeting?”
Jian Xingzhi thought for a while and said: “In previous years, it was at the end of December or early January, and this year it should be about the same.You want to know who he is?”
Father Jian and Mother Jian nodded with longing in their eyes.
Jian Xingzhi smiled evilly: “Originally I planned to tell you, but since you came to attack me suddenly without saying hello today, I might as well forget it and leave it to you to guess.”
He did it on purpose, he was happier just being a black sesame glutinous rice dumpling.
