483 Bottom Line(1/2)
"Sorry, I've caused you trouble, but I will definitely not agree, I'm sorry."
At the entrance of the student dormitory of the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing, Su Ye was politely replying the phone.
It was already winter, and the leaves had fallen, leaving only the bare branches, which felt desolate.
Su Ye has not been in a good mood in recent days. Even the roommates in the dormitory said that she hadn't seen her smile for many days, which made her, who seemed a little cold on weekdays, even more difficult to get close to.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ye stared blankly at the gray sky and the bare branches, which was quite uncomfortable.
The screen of the phone was lit up, and there was a photo of her and Yang Yang. It was in Sefton Park, Liverpool, England. The two of them smiled happily, and that was the happiest period of her life.
When she thinks of Yang Yang, her heart feels warm.
Taking a deep breath and relieving all thoughts, Su Ye walked back to the dormitory.
...
"Xiao Yezi, did that company call me again?"
"Um."
"They still want to sign you?"
"Um."
"You refused again?"
"……Um."
There was a silence in the dormitory, and the roommates looked at her very differently.
"To be honest, Xiao Yezi, this is the most powerful film company in China. I heard that the number one sister of their company has just left the nest recently. If you go, you will definitely be highly praised. You invest in so many movies every year. With your conditions, you will definitely become popular. Why don't you agree?"
"Yes, Su Ye, these days, people in the entertainment industry, hype scandals, talk about false love, etc. are nothing. The idea you are holding is too conservative."
"For newcomers like us, it would be great to be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry and have scenes to shoot, but you would be good to choose, kissing scenes, intimate scenes and bed scenes, that's fine, but you can't make a fuss about scandals, so where does it get popularity?"
"Yezi, to be honest, I admire you very much, but we have to recognize the reality."
The roommates persuaded each other with kind words.
A month ago, with the recommendation of the school tutor, Su Ye and several students went to an audition for a crew.
This time it is a big production of Sino-US co-production. All Chinese actors who are well-known in Hollywood are also a rare opportunity. Su Ye performed very amazingly during the interview.
Needless to mention her acting skills, she has made rapid progress in the past year after entering the Central Academy of Drama, and is the most sensible actor in the eyes of her mentors.
But more importantly, her appearance and temperament were valued by the most powerful company in China that invested in this movie on the spot, and she wanted to sign her up.
But after signing a contract with the company, many things can no longer be left by her own temperament. At that time, Su Ye would have to personally break the three rules he had made with his father before, so she chose to refuse.
Rejecting the signing of this film company is equivalent to rejecting the contract for this big production. In addition, the two previous auditions have entered the second round, but there has been no news, and it is probably a waste.
Therefore, the roommates were also regretting Su Ye, after all, this was a god-given opportunity that countless people dreamed of.
As long as you sign a contract with this company, you will definitely become famous.
...
"Yezi, listen to my advice, don't hold on to those pedantic rules. In today's world, as long as you become popular, you are qualified to negotiate terms with others and be noble. Now you have no background and no financial resources. The only thing you can rely on is your own and the resources of the Central Academy of Drama."
"If I missed it, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity again in the future."
The roommates also advised him with great care.
"I understand, but I am not aloof, this is my bottom line. Maybe it is relatively high, but I will definitely stick to it." Su Ye said without any doubt.
"For your boyfriend?"
Su Ye made acquiesce.
"Is it worth it? If something big happened, if someone else had changed, I would have come to find you long ago, but he had never seen anyone before, and he didn't even have a phone call, he..."
"I didn't tell him at all." Su Ye said robbing Bai.
"Why?"
Su Ye had tears in his eyes, but he blinked stubbornly, trying not to cry, and his voice was slightly choked.
"What he does is a thousand times more important than me. Compared to him, my affairs are not worth mentioning at all. I don't want him to be distracted."
"Ha, is he Li Ka-shing or Bill Gates? You worked hard to take the Central Academy of Drama, just to film? Is there anything more important than the trouble you are in now?"
"Acting is indeed my greatest interest, but if I lose him because of this, I would rather not act."
"Then you must have been filled with a ecstasy by him. He is not worthy of your doing this!"
"Is it worth it? It's not worth it if you say it, but I say it."
...
Seeing the two almost quarrel, the roommates rushed to mediate.
Everyone persuaded each other, but Su Ye was still unmoved and insisted on his decision.
She understood that her roommates also cared about her and hoped that she would be good, but everyone had their own different perseverance.
And this is her bottom line.

"Happy birthday!"
At home in Liverpool, Yang Yang turned on his laptop and greeted Su Ye who was far away in Beijing through QQ video chat. Although it was a bit vague, he was very happy to see Su Ye smiled.
In order to celebrate his birthday, Su Ye took the bus home for more than an hour, and prepared a small cake and put it in candles.
The cold look of the cake made Yang Yang feel a little funny, but it was touched from the bottom of his heart.
"They will celebrate my birthday tonight, and the head coach makes an exception to allow us to party, but he has to go home before twelve o'clock. If tomorrow morning, we are still outside at twelve o'clock in the newspaper, he will be furious."
"Organized by the landlord?" Su Ye Wen said.
"Yeah." Yang Yang curled his lips, "But he is using my rent."
Su Ye was amused.
In fact, during her time in the UK, she had a good relationship with Gerald's girlfriend Curran.
Yang Yang used the excuse to tell some jokes, probably what he encountered today, and also made sure that this was a private party, at most it was the player's girlfriend or wife, and there would be no outsiders.
"So, you can rest assured that you will definitely not see a photo of me and other women tomorrow." Yang Yang said jokingly.
Su Ye nodded constantly and replied seriously: "Then I'll feel relieved."
In fact, she never worried.
Yang Yang was also amused by her.
Recently, Su Ye has not given any results in the second round of auditions. Both dramas may have been ruined, so Yang Yang will try to make her happy every day, but there is really nothing we can do today.
Su Ye knew that he was in a hurry to go out, so he urged him to go quickly and not be late.
After several urgings, Yang Yang reluctantly went out.
At home in Yangyang, Beijing, in the empty living room, Su Ye looked at the closed video chat window and felt sad.
Tears finally fell down unsatisfactorily.
…………
…………
Celebrating Yang Yang’s birthday was just an open and reasonable excuse found by Gerald and others.
To put it bluntly, these guys just want to go out and roam.
The requirements given by the coaching team are also more humane. Each person has a maximum of one bottle of beer, so it cannot be too much. It will be checked tomorrow morning. Whoever drinks too much will suffer when the time comes.
After coming to the Premier League, Yang Yang discovered that men in this country really have a crazy love for beer. Even players like Gerald are self-disciplined and drink without any ambiguity.
Another problem is gambling.
Gambling for Premier League teams is also the norm. Even national team players can often make headlines, becoming a hot news that English fans pay attention to. How much money does that person lose can still become a topic of conversation.
This time they booked a high-end private club and sang after dinner.
Since there were no outsiders, all the players were relaxed and had fun. When singing, they were even a little unrestrained under the stimulation of alcohol.
Yang Yang was there all the way, but he didn't drink because he knew how poor his alcohol tolerance was.
But at the party tonight, he saw another side of many players.
For example, Riser, this Norwegian player is very fierce on the court, but he is a little taciturn off the court. He doesn't drink, but the singing is too bad. When he hears that he wants to sing, the audience starts to cheer.
That could be said to be howling ghosts and wolves.
Gerald and Kuyt are the McGrathons in the team. These two guys also took on the task of singing in the Liverpool locker room, but their taste really makes Yang Yang not satisfied.
Anyway, every time she is in the car or in the locker room, Yang Yang either just goes to bed and practices in the super training ground, or wears headphones to listen to Jay Chou, Eason Chan and JJ Lin, turning a blind eye to the terrible noises.
In the carnival atmosphere, coupled with the howling of singing, everyone unknowingly drank an extra bottle.
