midnight.

The moonlight is cold and cold.

The rental house was still filled with smoke.

After making the phone call, Ke Zhanyi did not feel relaxed, but instead became more and more depressed.

Time passes little by little.

Every second seems to be touching his heart.

Half an hour later, he walked out of the rental house.

There was no sound of footsteps at the entrance of the rental house.

There was only a drunk man rummaging through something beside the trash can, and there was a "swishing" sound.

It looked like a huge rat, rummaging around in the dark corner, its filth almost blending into the trash can.

When they first moved here, Ke Zhanyi and his girlfriend Jiang Xiaoyou felt scared, but as time went by, they found out that drunks were just digging through cigarette butts and eating leftover bread in the trash can, and did not cause any harm to ordinary people.

I gradually became less afraid.

But they still kept a certain distance, looking down from the cracks on the third floor. After all, these people with mental problems seemed harmless, but no one knew what would happen.

More than ten minutes passed, and the drunk man found a few unfinished cigarette butts. He was so excited that he picked them up and started smoking greedily.

He lay on his back on the sponge cushion next to him and puffed away, his eyes satisfied and happy.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Sheng finally walked out of the Internet cafe downstairs. He paused for a while next to the drunk man, and then dropped a bag of garbage.

After he walked up the stairs, the drunkard who was puffing away suddenly rushed into the trash can excitedly and rummaged frantically for something. Vaguely, he seemed to find a bag of leftover bread and some leftover drinks.

of mineral water...

The sound of the drunk man rummaging through the trash can was quite loud, but it did not affect Zhang Sheng. He still walked up step by step.

Ke Zhanyi noticed Zhang Sheng's footsteps.

Zhang Sheng's steps were neither hurried nor slow from beginning to end, and very rhythmic, as if every step was like a musical note.

But his eyes seemed to be looking everywhere, as if he was contemplating something, or as if he was carefully looking at the details along the corridor.

Just when Ke Zhanyi was confused, Zhang Sheng looked up and saw him without any warning: "Director Ke?"

"Classmate Zhang..."

Ke Zhanyi was startled.

"Director Ke, I'm sorry, I came late."

"It's okay, it's okay, come in quickly..."

He welcomed Zhang Sheng in and closed the door.

Jiang Xiaoyou warmly invited Zhang Sheng to sit down and asked Zhang Sheng if he wanted to have some supper. When Zhang Sheng nodded, he went to cook for the supper himself.

As Jiang Xiaoyou walked into the kitchen and was busy, the living room suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Ke Zhanyi wanted to break the silence, but for some reason his mind was horribly blank.

Zhang Sheng glanced out the window, and after a brief moment of calmness, he looked at Ke Zhanyi and suddenly laughed: "Director Ke, this is your home, you don't have to be reserved."

"No, I'm quite natural now, I'm usually like this." Ke Zhanyi adjusted his sitting posture, but somehow it seemed extra deliberate.

Obviously this is the place he is most familiar with, but when Zhang Sheng sat down face to face with him, he was actually made uncomfortable by the invisible aura.

"Director Ke, I was thinking about the documentary along the way..."

"What documentary?"

"As I told you, the documentaries about the outstanding graduates of the college will definitely have many stories... But then I thought about the stories of these past graduates. Most of them were smooth sailing, so I also thought of some ordinary graduates.

Students, or documentary stories about poor students at the bottom of society..." Zhang Sheng said this sentence with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he looked out the window again.

Ke Zhanyi did not answer Zhang Sheng's conversation.

He has absolutely no interest in documentaries.

In fact, directors who have made movies and become instantly famous often want to reach new heights on the big screen.

Documentaries are really too niche, and the upper limit is not high.

The living room fell into a brief silence again, and the sound of Jiang Xiaoyou's cooking and the sound of the range hood came one after another in the kitchen.

Time gradually passed by for dozens of seconds.

Zhang Sheng kept staring out the window. It seemed that Ke Zhanyi didn't reply and Zhang Sheng had no intention of breaking the deadlock.

Ke Zhanyi finally couldn't stand this invisible feeling of depression. He sighed, as if something inside him collapsed. He looked at Zhang Sheng: "Can I help you?"

"Bring me someone!"

"With people?"

"You don't need to make a documentary. You teach him how to shoot, how to control the angle, how to storyboard, how to edit, how to deal with post-production..."

Ke Zhanyi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

This is not difficult for him.

When he saw him nodding, Zhang Sheng laughed. Then, Zhang Sheng looked at Ke Zhanyi and said, "Director Ke, can I hear your story?"

"my story?"

"Yes, my sister-in-law told some of your story, but from my sister-in-law's perspective, it's probably not comprehensive, so I need to hear your story. From writing a book, to publishing it, to becoming popular, and then signing [Starlight Future]

, including the stories of the people you interacted with in [Starlight Future], and tell me the key points, among the leaders you know, their approximate work and rest time..."

After Ke Zhanyi listened, he hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Can I smoke?"

"Director Ke, this is your home. Even if you want to do a striptease, it's your right."

"oh."

Ke Zhanyi lit a cigarette, and amid the smoke, he talked about the past.

……………………

October 3rd.

For [Starlight Future], this day is the most difficult time.

After the tax department left, people in Chaoyang reported that the company had major fire hazards. Then the fire department came again, investigated some hidden dangers, and ordered it to rectify. After the fire department left, they received another series of letters from lawyers...

Not long after the military parade, the group of young artists who had just been signed by the company suddenly went crazy. They accused the company in various ways on the Internet, the judicial department, and communication channels.

Hidden rules, wine bureaus, concubine selection, officials’ rosy news...

The media on the Internet are excited!

Each piece of bombshell news, which they said was reasonable and well-founded, once gave the company's legal department a headache.

Wave after wave of attacks kept Xu Shengnan awake all night.

The company executives were so angry that they slapped the table all night, and their hands were swollen.

Although the public relations department has tried its best to remedy the situation, they were still overwhelmed by the well-prepared attacks and were almost hit hard.

The company's stock price fell to a record low. I heard that shareholders held a meeting overnight. I don't know what the content of the meeting was. In short, after the meeting, many senior executives related to Lu Yang were liquidated and dismissed, including those who had

The agent introduced by Yang.

noon.

Xu Shengnan finally took a breath and lay on the sofa for a short while.

She simply calculated the company's losses these days, and found out that the company's losses had exceeded one billion!

This wave is simply nerve-wracking!

Half past one.

Xu Shengnan was woken up by the sound of the phone.

She saw that the call was from Ke Zhanyi. After she answered the call, she was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the office.

In the office.

She met Ke Zhanyi.

Ke Zhanyi rarely wore a suit and had shaved his beard. When he saw himself coming, he looked at Xu Shengnan.

"Sister Shengnan..."

"Director Ke, tell me!"

"[Shengshi Entertainment] just called me, I don't know what to do..."

"What did they tell you?"

"Good birds choose trees to roost in!"

"..."
