After all the documents and plans were sorted out, Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling went straight to the sixth floor. Ashley did not enter the guest room, but fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. As for Yuanbao, he stared at her, for fear of this "
The thief stole their belongings.
After all, this strange woman has eaten too much from their house these days.
Zhuang Ling just gave her advice. After all, Xia Yu is in charge of this company, and when she and Tao Tang integrated the company, they had a deep conversation, all about Xia Yu. One of the things, Tao Tang told her.
.
"I hope you can trust Xia Yu's vision and decision-making——
You can question it, but I believe you will slowly discover that her excellence is far beyond your imagination."
Zhuang Ling still remembered the filled look in Tao Tang's eyes when he said these words.
Sentiment? Expectation? Pride? There are also indescribable complications——
Zhuang Ling was willing to take over the position of president and agency director of [Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company]. She was only interested in Xia Yu’s ability in a small way, and more for her own father. “The old man’s unfulfilled wish in his life is for me and his pride.”
Can the disciple help him finish it?"
Zhuang Ling looked at Xia Yu who was busy in the kitchen.
She really doesn't look like the number one actress of China's new generation and a super first-line movie star. She really doesn't have any airs at all.
She changed into her daily T-shirt, wore an apron, her hair was tied up in a hemp flower, and she didn’t even have a trace of makeup. She looked exactly like in a Chinese novel—Jing Chai’s stunning appearance could not be concealed even by the cloth of her skirt? Of course, if you ignore the
Donner limited edition watch.
Zhuang Lingyou had already looked for several housekeepers, but Xia Yu rejected them all.
It's not a matter of money. Now that she's at this point, is she really busy?
There are so many things.
Basically, I will not choose books from outside. I have confirmed that they are all books I got from the system. Tao Tang also helps to review the quality of the books from outside. Now she just attends classes every day, and the rest is coding "Twilight"
The original work, as well as the script storyboards for the first part of "Twilight", wouldn't it be nice to spare two or three hours every day to clean up the house and relax your mind?
Zhuang Ling raised an eyebrow and smiled, and opened the first draft of "Twilight".
She didn't expect that it would be okay if she didn't open it, but once she opened it, she would be like Ashley, getting out of control.
It was only after Xia Yu made lunch and asked her to have lunch that she put down the book.
Zhuang Ling has always had a strong ability to control herself. Even though the original work of "Twilight" was wonderful, she just put it down as soon as she put it down.
Although I gave up on the action, I was still thinking about it in my mind. I finally understood why Ashley was able to stay up all night.
This book does have that magic.
This is an excellent book of a new type that can blaze a trail among the novels that are popular all over the world.
…
Xia Yu looked at Zhuang Ling and pointed at Ashley, "Should I call her?"
Zhuang Ling glanced at her and shook her head, "This guy slept like a pig. She didn't get any rest last night. Let her sleep a little longer and wait until she goes to work in the afternoon. Then she can eat again. She will take a nap after two o'clock in the afternoon, and she will eat again at night.
It’s time to take a good rest.”
Xia Yu smiled knowingly. Zhuang Ling said she was disgusted, but her words were full of concern.
Putting the lunch specially prepared for Ashley in the thermos cupboard, Xia Yu prepared Chinese food for the two of them, and the two of them were satisfied with the meal.
After having enough wine and food, Zhuang Ling couldn't help but joke,
"If you don't do this business and open a Chinese restaurant here, I think you can flex your muscles."
She has eaten in most of the beautiful Chinese restaurants, but there are not many, or very few, that have a purely Chinese taste.
Most of them have been improved.
It’s not exclusively for Chinese people, there are many “foreigners” who also like this kind of Chinese food with European and American flavors.
Xia Yu: ‘But who do I think I’ve heard this said? Where have I heard it? Sure enough, it’s not like one family doesn’t want to enter the same house?’
She shook her head and said with a smile, "Making delicious food is a kind of fun. It's a different feeling than opening a restaurant. If you open it, you might not like it anymore."
"It seems so?"
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Waked up Ashley on time.
Half past two.
Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company, contracted artist meeting.
On the second floor.
Compared with the serious one on the third floor, the conference room on the second floor is a little brighter and more relaxed.
Xia Yu and the others had arrived three minutes early, but only three people had arrived, which was expected.
As I said before, the profession of actor is not a profession for particularly high-quality talents. Even because of some halo, people in this profession seem to be more "self-righteous". Of course, this is not entirely true, at least most of them are.
.
Playing big names abounds.
As for this part of the company, Zhuang Ling has never been in charge of it, but handed it over to Ashley, because these people are basically the ones who stayed because Ashley thought they had potential. Among these three people, there are two actors, one male and one female.
, the last one is the has-been singer.
The actor's name is Raymond, and he is a supporting character in "The Secret of the Werewolf". In other words, the remaining group, except for this has-been singer, are all actors who originally participated in the two "Secrets of the Werewolf" produced by Feitu Film and Television Company.
Several outstanding supporting roles.
The actress' name is Vivian, a beautiful woman with typical Germanic ancestry, blond hair, blue eyes, and three-dimensional facial features; of course, beauty is beautiful, but the degree of beauty can only be considered above average, not the ultimate beauty, but
It's also quite unique.
As for the has-been singer, he is a 24-year-old tall and thin boy.
Called Brian Zhou.
Yes, this twenty-four-year-old boy is a mixed race, but not the first generation, but the second generation.
His maternal grandmother was of Chinese descent, and after the second generation, his mixed-race genes became even weaker, only one quarter.
But the black hair and dark brown eyes are still retained by my grandmother - a quarter of mixed race, but more like Chinese. This is in the beautiful country, and it is the most chaotic state in the beautiful country, Missouri.
What does it mean?
"Exclusion - maybe it's called racial discrimination, racial bullying would be more appropriate."
And his passing can't actually be regarded as passing, but "seeking death".
Like Xia Yu, he had a very bright future eight years ago.
A rising star in the European and American music scene, a scandal broke out because of a group fight.
But he didn't do otherwise, he did take action.
Although he was verbally provoked by the other party, while drunk, he mocked his dead grandmother——
He was so angry that he rushed to the person's head with a bottle of wine and almost killed him.
Even to this day, I don't regret it. Maybe I just regret not killing the opponent directly?
In addition, Xia Yu learned the reason from Ashley.
Brian Zhou, apart from being born in Missouri, is the most chaotic state in the beautiful country.
He was not a child born to regular parents after they got married, but was left behind after the mother spent the night without taking safety precautions.
By the time it was discovered, surgery was no longer possible.
His mother didn't know the reason at the time, but by some strange combination of circumstances, she decided to give birth to him, but after he was born, she found that he was a burden.
So soon after he was born, his mother left her to his grandmother. He was raised by his grandmother with all kinds of hardships. The two of them depended on each other. What he received since childhood was not only the culture of the beautiful country, but also part of the Chinese culture that his grandmother learned about.
The people he was fighting with were the same people who had bullied him since childhood and secretly bullied her grandmother——
It is unknown how much grievance and bullying he suffered in the process, but we can make some guesses.
I have to say that this child's deeds made Xia Yu feel compassionate.
Xia Yu has also listened to the two albums he has released in the past, and the sound quality is extremely superior - but I don't know if he has been idle in the past few years, if he has given up on himself because of this matter, and has damaged his throat by smoking and drinking.
broken.
This is all Xia Yu needs to consider.
And he signed a ten-year contract with Feitu Film and Television Company, and now he still has two years left.
Xia Yu's so-called considerations include this and the fact that he got into a group fight.
Although it is said that in a beautiful country, as long as you are rich enough, celebrities will fight in groups, which is really not a big deal.
It's just that at that time, Feitu Film and Television Company did not dare to cause trouble in order to minimize the big issue.
Although he is a new star discovered in a singing competition, he can sing and sing well. However, because of his completely different life experience, Brian Zhou's personality is extremely awkward, extreme, paranoid, and autistic. He is not able to please his manager, and even contradicts him.
, rebuke...
This made his agent at the time unhappy and he simply gave up on him.
Later, he planned to release a third album, but there was no support for it, so he stopped.
And because of the contract with Feitu Film and Television Company, I can only make a living by performing in some commercials and singing in bars.
It's hard to say what has become of this "young man" after so many years.
Xia Yu said hello to them, sat down in his seat, and waited for the time to arrive;
And Xu grew up in a living environment that was not very friendly. This child has a keen insight that is different from ordinary people. Although Xia Yu took one more look, which may only last a few tenths of a second, he was still attracted by this boy.
Found it.
There seemed to be an indelible layer of frost in his eyes, as if he was filled with distrust and prejudice against the world.
Xia Yu thought to himself, "If you stay at Feitu Film and Television Company, maybe it's just that you can't afford the liquidated damages?"
"There doesn't seem to be a more compelling reason than that, does it?"
Whether or not he remains as passionate about music as ever, cannot be seen with the eyes, but you can still see it in his actions in the past few years - he has been reduced to sleeping in the slums of Los Angeles.
Still stayed and engaged in singing...
When half past two came, what was waiting was not three other actors, but three "cancellation" calls.
The three termination calls came one after another, as if there was a tacit understanding, and Ashley's eyebrows almost stood up after receiving the call.
Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling didn't say a word. They each sat at the conference table. One was writing the manuscript while the other was reading the manuscript. Ashley's restrained words were in their ears. If they weren't worried about the presence of other people in the conference room,
, she may have become the quintessence of the Chinese nation.
During the first call, she was still in the conference room, the second one had already walked out, and the third one directly closed the conference room door——
Ashley suppressed her anger and said, "You have forgotten that I gave you the opportunity to play "The Secret of the Werewolf". If it weren't for me, most of you would still be hanging around community theaters and playing small roles in other productions. Then you
Why didn’t you just leave last year?”
No matter how long her reflex arc was, Ashley came to her senses, "Is it because you will have the opportunity to choose after the second season of "The Secret of the Werewolf" is finished? I really regret it. I shouldn't have increased your drama in the first place so that you could have more choices."
Opportunity to stand out!”
In Xia Yuzhuangling's opinion, it's definitely more than that. Because during this year, the three of them not only received the company's basic salary, but also used Ashley's connections to film a lot of movies. One of them even hooked up in a certain movie.
casting director.
Zhuang Ling told her at that time that one of them was very close to a certain casting director and asked her to pay attention to it, but she didn't believe it and said, "I was the one who gave them a chance when they were in the most difficult situation."
, they are not such people, man, please believe me!"
Zhuang Ling just thinks that it doesn't matter, people will wake up only after experiencing lessons again and again and paying for disappointment again and again.
"Just think of it as paying her tuition to avoid being tricked even more in the future, right?"
After three phone calls, they all basically had the same conversational skills.
"If we quit, we will terminate the contract and we will pay the compensation. We were all signed in at the beginning - and we have to thank Ms. Ashley for her help when we signed the contract, so that we will not bear too much liquidated damages."
More than just not using too much?
Feitu Film and Television Company was not optimistic about them at all at first, and they only worried about Ashley's face when they signed them.
No matter how angry Ashley is, she also knows that some things are irreversible, but this kind of giving up on the spot and not being optimistic about the future of the company are a curse.
For example, "A Chinese person working in a Hollywood film and television company cannot have a long-term future, and sooner or later he will leave in despair. Don't we see enough of him? We are only working hard for our own future. Is that wrong?"
Make her look gloomy.
After Ashley answered the phone, she was completely silent. She laughed at herself and said, "Sure enough, my eyesight is so bad."
The entire conference room was almost quiet, everyone was busy with their own business. Raymond and Vivian looked at each other, obviously knowing the situation.
But even though they didn't go together, they didn't say anything to Ashley about it - neither of them wanted to offend.
After a long while, maybe the mood calmed down, then "click", the door of the conference room opened, and Ashley walked in with a dejected face.
He looked at Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling, and finally asked coldly, "Do you all want to leave too?"
Her eyes fell more on Raymond and Vivian, with unkind eyes, "Why didn't you leave?"
Not every actor who comes from a walk-on background is good at dancing. In terms of personality, the two of them are probably relatively down-to-earth, motivated, and passionate about acting - this is Ashley's assessment.
Raymond looked at Ashley, then at Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling, with a calm and determined expression on his face, and calmly stated:
"First of all, without Ashley, I really don't know how long I will have to run as a bit player. I am very grateful to Director Ashley for her support. This is also the reason why I did not leave together -"
