Chapter 19 Vol. 2

    "It's eating." Li Mo's voice came from the dining table, pulling Ji Qin out of his thoughts. "What are you thinking about, so absorbed?" Li Mo asked casually.

    "Nothing." Ji Qin twitched the corner of his mouth unnaturally. He suddenly felt distressed for Li Mo, but Li Mo never said anything about the past, so he didn't ask too much.

    As soon as the two people sat down around the dining table, Ji Qin's cell phone rang.

    "Xiao Ji," the hesitant voice of his director brother came on the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry, the producer called me this morning and said that the male number one has already been scheduled, so..."

    Ji Qin's heart sank and asked, "Brother, can I ask...who has been appointed?" The

    director hesitated for a moment, or told the truth: "You will know it sooner or later anyway, it is Gu Lixuan . ""It's him? "Ji Qin was a little surprised and glanced at Li Mo.

    Li Mo hadn't noticed who he was calling, but when he noticed Ji Qin's gaze, he raised his head and gave the other party an inquiring look.

    Ji Qin temporarily took care of him. I didn't have any response to give him, I just listened to the director on the phone and said: "To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, but the producer said that Gu Lixuan's assistant took the initiative to call him, which is absolutely true. So..."

    "It's okay, I can understand. "Ji Qin took a deep breath, concealing the disappointment, "? Just assume that I have no relationship with the crew, brother, don't take it too seriously..."

    "Who said no fate," the director turned, "I called you, in fact, I want to ask you if you are interested in trying this show's second man? My second man is still undecided."

    Ji Qin Hearing that there was a turnaround, they happily responded, and the two of them made an appointment for another audition and hung up the phone. Li Mo asked aloud: "What's wrong? The crew changed their minds over there? Ji Qin didn't intend to hide from him, so he simply relayed what the director said."

    Li Mo was silent for a while, without speaking. After a while, he suppressed his voice and said: "Gu Lixuan has never done anything like this kind of tricks like grabbing resources and half-heartedly." It was the same this time. I felt that he was here for me, but for some reason, he ended up grabbing your role. "

    "Maybe it's hating the house and the Wu. It's not pleasing to see me by the way?" Ji Qin seemed a little indifferent, shrugging his shoulders, "but I'm really curious, what is his hatred with you? You don’t hesitate to lower your net worth to grab resources from a little-known actor like us?"

    Li Mo shook his head: "? I have never figured it out. I used to be classmates in the same class as him, and I was studying at the Film and Television Academy. I used to have a good relationship. I was catching up with a director recruiting film actors in the year of graduation. The first news I got, I took him to audition with good intentions, but the director liked his appearance and asked him to do it. I only got a male partner who didn’t even have a serious name."

    "I didn’t care about this at the time. I took him as a good friend. He developed better than me, and I also helped him. Happy. After the movie was released, the box office was not high, but the reputation in the circle was acceptable. He was soon signed off by a good agency. At that time, he would often call me and complain to me in the entertainment industry. It’s not easy to work hard, and I will try my best to comfort him and encourage him."

    "Later, I don’t know when I started, I feel that he has gradually changed, and his attitude towards acting is not as simple as before, in order to gain exposure and He has done all kinds of shameful means with better resources. At that time, I tried to persuade him several times, but he couldn't listen, and he had several disputes with me about this."

    "Gradually, I became more and more disappointed in him. He also felt that he had nothing to say with me. After a year, we gradually became estranged. Later, I also signed a small company, and the agent brought us more than a dozen newcomers. , I can’t take care of everything. I’m a person with a relatively slow and hot personality. I don’t take the initiative to please and fight for it. Although I have had a few chances to play, they are all small roles that have little room for play.

    " At that time, Gu Lixuan gradually intervened in my life and work. He repeatedly asked me to quit the showbiz. I asked him why he refused to say. I ignored him and continued to film my own scenes. He treated me. My attitude became tougher and harder, and I started threatening, saying that if I didn’t want to withdraw from this circle, he would have various ways to force me to withdraw.”

    “I didn’t care at the time, I just felt that there was a problem with his brain. The stars are boundless, but I always come to care about the little actor of the 18th line. But later things proved that he was not joking. He started to stumble me around, either to disturb my audition or low. Pricing my resources."

    "I couldn't bear it and ran to him and had a big quarrel. After that, he rarely stopped for a while, and I also picked up the male number two of an idol drama. I concentrated on following the crew. After a few months of filming, I thought I could finally stand up with a drama. I didn’t expect that after the crew was completed, my agency suddenly replaced my agent.”

    “When the idol drama was on the hot air, I participated in it. The main actors in the performance all followed the crew to promote and increase the exposure rate. I was the only one who did not receive any notice. The agent who took me was even more unreliable than the previous one, and could not make a phone call a week later. I later realized that I was hidden by the company in disguise."

    Ji Qin was very depressed and couldn't help but interject: "Could it be that Gu Lixuan is doing a ghost in the back?"

    Li Mo slowly nodded: "At the time, I didn't expect him to be so magical. I only thought that I accidentally offended a leader in the company. Then I really had no choice but to offer to terminate the contract, but the company took the contract to ask for it. I pay the full liquidated damages."

    "I was forced into desperation. Fortunately, Xia Liang reached out in time and helped me. He originally wanted to help me win this lawsuit, but such lawsuits in the entertainment industry often dragged on for several years. It was very unfavorable for me to fight, and Xia Liang himself happened to be at the critical moment of the transformation of the family business, and he was really incapable of doing it."

    "In the end, I gave up the appeal and asked Xia Liang to help me advance the liquidated damages. The lawsuit was settled. , I went abroad. To put it nicely is to study, to put it badly, it is to escape the reality. I only hope that my eyes will be clear and I will be free from this quagmire as soon as possible."

    "A year later, I learned that, It turns out that my previous brokerage company has been purchased at a high price by the brokerage company where Gu Lixuan works, and Gu Lixuan has also participated in it." When Li Mo said this, he paused, with a wry smile on his face. , "The only condition for him to participate in shares is to let the company force me to terminate the contract.
