Chapter 36 The leading role has been replaced?
Chapter 36 The leading role has been replaced?
A few days later, Qin Yao cheerfully opened the door of Ye Tang's house, pulled him up from the bed and shook him.
"Wake up, you finally have your first movie!"
Ye Tang fell into a drowsy sleep, dizzy from being shaken by her, slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Have I been selected as the male number one?"
Qin Yao smiled and said: "Yes! You have even surpassed Shen He!"
"That's it." Ye Tang didn't feel too happy, took Qin Yao's hand away and continued to fall on the bed to sleep.
Ever since Li Xuan left, Ye Tang seemed to have lost interest in work, he missed him every day, and the only way to see him was in his dreams.
Qin Yao patted his head in disappointment: "I don't have any energy at all. How can I sleep in the afternoon."
Ye Tang was disturbed by her noise, he got up, picked up a piece of clothing and put it on, preparing to leave.
"Where are you going?" Qin Yao asked.
"drink wine."
"What wine to drink in the afternoon." Qin Yao gave him a dissatisfied look: "Don't think that you don't pay attention to body management when you are popular."
"I'm going for a walk, let's go for a walk." Ye Tang put on his earphones and walked out of the house.
He wandered around the park bored for a while, and finally came to the bar alone, sat at the bar, ordered a glass of whiskey and was unhappy.
Ye Tang thought to himself, Li Xuan doesn't like him drinking with others, so let's drink alone. He doesn't have any friends who can talk to him, maybe after a while he will devote himself to filming, and he won't think so when he's busy. Dao Li has grown up.
The bartender had noticed Ye Tang drinking alone, and asked in a low voice across the bar, "Are you Mr. Ye Tang?"
"You've got the wrong person." Ye Tang looked up at him, got up and walked to the bathroom.
Passing through the dark corridor, Ye Tang vaguely heard the sound of a woman crying from the men's bathroom.
He was so scared that he took two steps back, walked to the door to see if he had gone to the wrong place after drinking too much.He stood there and listened carefully for a while, feeling that the woman's voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Director Cui, please let me go," the woman sobbed.
"Everyone in the circle knows what kind of woman you are. How can you pretend to be like me?"
"I really don't remember..."
Ye Tang was startled, and finally recognized Song Linlin's voice.Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, he naturally knew what happened.
Ye Tang left the bathroom anxiously, went to the bar and asked for a bottle of wine, took it in his hand and walked straight to the bathroom.
Standing at the door of the bathroom, he held the bottle and took a deep breath to suppress the tension, then pretended to be drunk, squinted his eyes and staggered in.
"Don't drink, don't drink!" Ye Tang bit the back of his tongue to make himself unable to speak clearly, then walked to the trash can and vomited loudly on purpose.
A bald man dragged Song Linlin away in dissatisfaction, and cursed: "Where did the drunk come from to ruin my mood."
"Yo! Old Zhang!" Ye Tang suddenly raised his head and staggered to the man's side, put his arm on his shoulder and said, "Come and have another drink!"
"Go away!" Director Cui stretched out his hand to push Ye Tang with a look of disgust.
Song Linlin stared at Ye Tang in shock, speechless.
Ye Tang took the opportunity to pour the wine from the wine bottle onto Director Cui's suit pants, then stammered with trembling hands, "Ah... sorry, sorry, I drank too much and admitted the wrong person!"
"Unlucky! How did you come across such a drunk." Director Cui let go of Song Linlin, walked to the corridor in a panic and called the secretary: "Hurry up and send a pair of pants, my pants were stained by a drunk."
Ye Tang took off his coat and put it on Song Linlin's shoulders, winked at her, and then dragged her to sneak away from the bathroom.
After sending Song Linlin out of the bar, Ye Tang reached out and hailed a taxi on the side of the road.
Ye Tang said: "Hurry up and go back, next time don't go out to drink with messy people."
Song Linlin sat in the car and looked at him gratefully: "You have to be careful not to expose yourself, that person is Director Cui of Chengxi Film and Television, so don't mess with it."
Ye Tang nodded, put on his hat and left quickly.
When the secretary went to the bar with his clothes to find Director Cui, he saw him sitting alone in front of the bar drinking with a displeased expression.
"Cui Dong, I brought you the clothes."
The assistant handed him the clean clothes and asked casually, "Why did Miss Song leave with Ye Tang?"
"Ye Tang? What Ye Tang?" Director Cui put down his glass and thought for a while, then frowned and described the appearance of a drunk: "Are you wearing jeans, your hair is a little curled, and your hair is white and clean?"
The secretary nodded: "That's right, I saw him escorting Miss Song to the car at the door of the bar just now."
The secretary added: "He's quite popular recently, and our company has a new movie and we still want him to be the starring role."
Director Cui sneered, and looked at the secretary with cold eyes: "Remove him, and he will not be allowed to be used in any TV dramas and movies produced by Cheng Xi in the future."
The secretary froze for a moment, and didn't dare to question anything, just nodded and said, "Understood."
The next day, Qin Yao received a call from the film crew saying that Ye Tang's male lead had been removed, and Shen He had been replaced as the leading actor in the film.
She angrily called Ye Tang to the company, threw the contract in her hand on the table and asked, "Did you offend someone? Why did the good leading role disappear? I was going to negotiate the salary and sign the contract with you today." Already!"
Hearing what she said, Ye Tang guessed that the man must have found him last night.
"It's gone, it's gone, let's take another scene." Ye Tang put his hands in his trouser pockets, not too disappointed.
Qin Yao stood up from the chair angrily: "You have only been popular for a few days, and then you started to float."
At this time, the mobile phone on the desk vibrated and buzzed, Qin Yao glared at him and turned to answer the phone.
Holding the phone, Qin Yao's face became more and more gloomy: "Okay, I see."
After hanging up the phone, she threw her hands on the table, sighed and said, "You've gotten into big trouble."
"I've sent someone to inquire. Chengxi Films will block you, and you will not be used in any film and television works produced by their company in the future."
It was only then that Ye Tang realized the seriousness of the matter. Almost half of the film and television works on the market today are produced and distributed by Cheng Xi Film and Television.If Cheng Xi doesn't use him, it means that he will soon pass away because he can't receive decent works.
Qin Yao stared at him firmly: "Tell me, who did you offend?"
"I saw Director Cui harassing Song Linlin, so I helped." Ye Tang answered truthfully.
"Tell me about you, why do you care about other people's messes." Qin Yao complained a few words, picked up the shoulder bag and said, "Go, I will take you to Director Cui to apologize, and be sincere so that he will forgive you."
"Oh." Ye Tang pouted unwillingly and followed.
Hearing that Ye Tang stained Director Cui's clothes, Qin Yao led him to a luxury store to buy a high-end suit as an apology.
Zhao Peng drove the car to the entrance of Chengxi Film and Television Company Building. Qin Yao and Ye Tang walked into the office building one after the other, knocked on Director Cui's office door and walked in.
Ye Tang stood in front of the desk, bowed his head and handed the suit with both hands.
Qin Yao put one hand on the back of Ye Tang's head and smiled flatteringly, "Director Cui, I'm Ye Tang's manager. His ignorance offended you, please don't take offense."
Ye Tang turned his face to the ground without raising his head, and said through gritted teeth: "I don't know the rules, please forgive me."
Director Cui slowly closed the laptop in front of him and pushed it to the side, leaning on the back of the chair, crossing his hands and sneering.
"Ye Tang...isn't it?" Director Cui tapped his finger on the table: "Did you act too much and really consider yourself a hero?"
Ye Tang lowered his head and said nothing.
Director Cui leaned forward and narrowed his eyes to look at him: "Why can't I see your sincerity in admitting your mistakes?"
Ye Tang sighed, raised his face and looked at him: "What do you want from me to forgive me."
"It seems that you are still not sincere." Director Cui got up, straightened his clothes and prepared to leave.
Qin Yao hastily stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "Director Cui, we really came to apologize sincerely."
Ye Tang sighed slightly and looked at Qin Yao, then closed his eyes and bent his knees down slowly.
Ye Tang knelt on the ground and said with a cold face, "Please forgive me."
Qin Yao stopped in surprise, she didn't expect Ye Tang to do this.
Director Cui turned around and stared at him playfully, then asked the secretary to go out and buy five bottles of high-end liquor and put them on the ground in front of Ye Tang.
"Don't you like drinking? I'll buy you a drink, and I'll forgive you when you're done." Director Cui walked to the sofa and sat down, with an expression of watching the show.
The secretary opened the bottle cap and looked at Ye Tang worriedly.
Ye Tang's throat moved, he knelt on the ground, grabbed the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.
"Ye Tang!" Qin Yao squatted on the ground distressedly and snatched the bottle from his hand: "Don't drink it, I'll find another way for you."
Ye Tang waved her hand away, smashed the empty wine bottle in his hand to the ground, and continued to pick up the next bottle of wine and pour it into his stomach.
Due to the heavy gulping, Ye Tang was sore from the strong alcohol from his throat to his esophagus. He put down the bottle and covered his mouth and coughed continuously.
"Why don't you drink anymore? Continue." Director Cui smiled and got up, walked to Ye Tang and squatted down.
"Let me help you." Director Cui pinched Ye Tang's jaw with one hand and forced him to open his mouth and raise his head high. With the other hand, he turned the wine bottle upside down and poured the wine into Ye Tang's mouth.
The wine dripped down the corner of his mouth and wet Ye Tang's collar and shoulders. He was gasping for breath in pain, but he could only choke tears from the continuous pouring of wine.
After finishing a bottle of wine, Director Cui got up slowly, took the last two bottles of wine with both hands and poured them down Ye Tang's head.
At this moment, Ye Tang's consciousness was blurred, the world was in chaos, and the world seemed to be distorted.His hands were trembling and he propped himself on the ground to prevent himself from falling.
Director Cui took out a piece of paper, wiped his hands, and said lazily: "Okay, you still have some sincerity, get out."
"Thank you...thank you...for your kind hand..." Ye Tang gasped in a daze and was dragged out of the office by the secretary and Qin Yao.
Zhao Peng was waiting at the entrance of the office building. Seeing that Ye Tang was being dragged out with his body drenched and his head drooping, he hurriedly got out of the car and rushed over.
"How did this happen!" Zhao Peng picked him up and sent him back to the car to lie down. He couldn't help shouting at Qin Yao, "I've taken Ye Tang with me for so many years, and I don't want to let him suffer a little bit. How can you be wronged?" Him! So what if you make him popular! Do you know how painful he is!"
Qin Yao wiped away tears and opened the door of the passenger seat: "Let's go, let's go back first."
Ye Tang fell asleep on the back seat. Although he was unconscious, he could still hear the words.
He intermittently whispered: "Sister Yao...I kneel to him...I don't want to cause you trouble...I know you...it's not easy to take me..."
Ye Tang raised his arms to rest on his eyes, angrily biting his lips to bleed.
Even at this time, I can only think about him in my head, and I really want to hide in his arms and cry.
After Zhao Peng sent Ye Tang home, he put him on the sofa and brought some clean clothes over: "Let me change it for you."
"No, I'll change it myself." Ye Tang leaned on the armrest of the sofa and said weakly, "Give me some stomach medicine and hangover medicine, my stomach hurts."
Zhao Peng dug out stomach medicine and hangover medicine from the drawer, and handed them to him together with boiled water.
Ye Tang poured some of the two medicines from the medicine bottle and swallowed them all without counting.
Zhao Peng said in a panic: "How can I take medicine like this? Can these two medicines be mixed together?"
"It's okay, I often eat like this." Ye Tang put down the glass and continued leaning on the sofa and said softly, "Brother Peng, go back, I want to be alone."
"Then call me if you have something to do, don't resist alone. Remember to change your clothes, or you will catch a cold." Zhao Peng looked at him worriedly, picked up his bag, closed the door and left.
Ye Tang was a little dizzy after taking the medicine, got up and unbuttoned his clothes, took dry clothes to change into, swayed, fell back on the sofa and passed out.
In his hazy consciousness, he vaguely felt that someone was hugging him into his arms, and his body was carefully wiped with a warm wet towel.A warm current penetrated through the body through the skin of the abdomen, soothing the aching stomach that had been burned by alcohol. He snorted softly, stretched his brows and fell into a deep sleep.
When Ye Tang opened his eyes again, he was already lying on the bed, wearing a clean white shirt, and heard the voices of Zhao Peng and Qin Yao talking in the living room.
He got up and got out of bed, opened the bedroom door and asked Zhao Peng, "What time is it?"
Zhao Peng and Qin Yao were sitting at the dining table of Ye Tang's house eating. Hearing Ye Tang's voice, Zhao Peng put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm awake, come over for dinner."
"No appetite." Ye Tang went to the table, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of boiled water to moisten his throat.
Qin Yao said: "Shen He has already been decided to star in the film, but Director Cui let go and said that it will not hinder your work."
Zhao Peng took a mouthful of rice and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, Ye Tang, as soon as we left, Director Cui fell down the stairs of the company. I heard that his finger was broken. He is now lying in the hospital." where."
Ye Tang was stunned while holding the water glass: "It's fine, how could you fall down the stairs and fall so hard?"
Zhao Peng smiled: "If you do too many bad things, you will be punished. I heard that he still shouted that there are ghosts in the emergency room. It must be retribution."
Ye Tang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then asked, "Brother Peng, did you change the clothes on me?"
Zhao Peng put down his job and glanced at him suspiciously: "No, you won't lose your memory."
"Oh..." Ye Tang didn't speak any more, he held the cup and drank the boiled water thoughtfully.
After a moment of silence, Ye Tang asked Qin Yao, "When will I have time to rest?"
Qin Yao took out her mobile phone and looked through it: "There is still work the day after tomorrow. You will have four days off next Friday, and then you will start shooting TV dramas."
Qin Yao flipped through the memo on her mobile phone and said, "Anyway, I won't sign the movie anymore, so I'll just pick up a TV series for you, and we've already negotiated."
Ye Tang leaned against the table and thought for a while, then said calmly: "My contract expires in one year, and I don't plan to renew it with the company. Don't take too many jobs for me."
Qin Yao put down her chopsticks and frowned at him: "Want to do it alone when your wings are hard?"
In the entertainment circle, it is very common for an artist to be dissatisfied with the oppression of the brokerage company after becoming popular, and to open a personal studio by himself. Although Qin Yao was dissatisfied, she didn't say much.
Zhao Peng looked surprised: "You really don't want to renew the contract? Or is there another agency poaching you?"
Ye Tang said: "Neither, I want to quit the entertainment industry."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Yao and Zhao Peng immediately turned cold, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly silent.
"I'm sorry to let you two down on me. Actually, I have considered this decision for a long time. I used to think that giving up my job would be like a deserter. Because I was not reconciled, I kept forcing myself to persevere."
Ye Tang paused and continued: "But if I don't make a decision, I will lose the person I cherish the most."
Finally speaking out what he had suppressed for a long time, he walked back to the bedroom alone and closed the door.
"No, hey Ye Tang..." Zhao Peng hurriedly got up and knocked on the bedroom door: "Did you become mentally disturbed by Director Cui's abuse? Why did you quit when you were popular?"
There was a bitter smile on the corner of Qin Yao's mouth: "Stop knocking, he is completely chilled by the entertainment industry, and he is also chilled by me. Like you said, he is really in pain."
Without saying a word, Qin Yao took out a spare key from her bag and put it on the table, put on her coat and got up to leave.
After Qin Yao left, Zhao Peng stood at the door of the bedroom for a while.
Seeing that Ye Tang didn't open the door, he sighed through the door: "I know it's not easy for you, so take a rest if you're tired. Daochang Li is a good man worth entrusting for life."
Ye Tang opened the door abruptly, and said in a panic, "Where did you know that?"
Zhao Peng scratched the back of his head and smiled helplessly: "I have taken you with me for so many years, and I count you as half of your father. Why can't you see it?"
"Who is your son!" Ye Tang pretended to be angry and punched Zhao Peng. The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the way they were before.
