Lin Meng was the only one left in the office. She began to check the three pages of A4 paper in her hand, which were filled with the roles and basic situations needed in “Open This Door”.
In addition to the actors that Chen Aiming was able to invite and several actors with whom the company had always had friendly relations, there were still a few vacancies.
Lin Meng picked up the phone and dialled Feng Yan directly.
“Xiao Meng, I don’t have anything to do right now, just tell me.”
Lin Meng was never polite to Feng Yan: “I have a project on hand, which will start filming soon. It is in the form of a unit drama. I will submit it for filing soon. There are many vacancies for supporting roles. I would like to cooperate with Feng Entertainment and invite a few of them to make guest appearances. Don’t worry, we will definitely pay enough. I’m just afraid that some of the supporting roles may not be able to accept it.”
This was business.
Feng Yan’s originally relaxed state was also put back: “Send the script to me later. If the script and the role are good, then there will be no problem in cooperation.”
“Okay! Don’t worry, when Feng Entertainment’s artists come, we will definitely give them the best treatment. You know this about me.” Lin Meng promised one after another.
“Okay, don’t worry.” Seeing that Lin Meng didn’t seem to have any other business to discuss, Feng Yan began to care about personal matters, “How are you…recently?”
He knew that Lin Meng’s career had been booming recently, but he had no idea about what was going on outside of her career. He asked Feng Jingjing hintingly, but Feng Jingjing didn’t quite know either, which showed how well of a secret Lin Meng had kept it.
“I’m doing fine lately. I’m in high spirits and my career is going well.” Lin Meng said in a cheerful tone.
“I mean…” Feng Yan had the words on his lips, but he didn’t say them after thinking for a long time. Lin Meng on the other end of the phone didn’t hear a response, so she waited for a while and said she was busy and hung up.
Feng Yan remained silent for a long time as he looked at the hung up phone.
From the moment he met Lin Meng, he felt that Lin Meng was a very special person, so special that it was a little strange.
She was so gentle that she could tolerate everyone around her, and even Jingjing’s bad temper would never make her angry.
At the same time, she could keep a proper distance from everyone, respect everyone around her, and have her own principles.
But on the other hand, she seemed to have no bottom line. Feng Yan once wondered, is there anyone in this world who can make Lin Meng angry and make her lose control? Or even if she is angry, can she stay angry for more than a day? Will she bow her head in the next second? Because she can always consider things from other people’s perspectives immediately.
It was just that she was like this, which was really pitiful, because she was too easily hurt, but never hurt others. Feng Yan sighed, but he was not qualified to give any inappropriate care, otherwise he would violate Lin Meng’s principles and would only be alienated by her.
Lin Meng hung up the phone. Didn’t she know what Feng Yan wanted to ask? But at least today, she still didn’t want to answer.
After calming down, she noticed that she did not receive a call from Zhu Yushen during the call. After thinking for a moment, Lin Meng did not call back, but just sent a message and asked indifferently: “What’s the matter?”
She leaned back in her chair and thought a lot. In fact, Lin Meng had been quite conflicted during this period of time. She didn’t understand what the difference was between what she was doing now and what Zhu Yushen had done before?
Was it revenge? Was it to make the other person feel the same way as she did in the past? Or something else?
Part of Lin Meng blamed herself for becoming another Zhu Yushen, but another part of Lin Meng quietly hid herself, forcing herself to work like a working machine, never stopping, and also forcing herself not to think about everything.
She was not an emotionless work machine, but at least until now, being a machine made her happier than trying to resolve the issues between her and Zhu Yushen.
Because she simply…
…
Zhu Yushen put off the entire afternoon’s work and stared at his phone for a total of two hours and twenty-five minutes.
The phone screen lit up a total of twelve times, two of which were news push notifications, and the other ten included two advertising text messages and eight work messages.
The number of calls and messages from Lin Meng was 0.
The last item in the chat history was still the cold question she sent and Zhu Yushen’s reply after thinking for a few minutes: “I want to meet you and talk.”
And then nothing happened.
The coffee on the table was steaming hot, but now it had become very cold, just like his mood at the moment.
He leaned heavily on the chair, his body slumped in it, his hair a little messy, and his outstretched hands shielding his eyes. His headaches had been getting worse recently. After all, he hadn’t had a good rest for a long time.
Only in the room in the old house where the two of them once lived together could he sleep a little better, but sometimes he would still wake up in the middle of the night because there was no one around him – it was quite strange, because he had never had the habit of recognizing a bed before, and he could sleep until dawn as long as he lay down on the bed.
He had always been able to focus all his attention on work and handle things calmly no matter how big the incident was. However, recently he had been losing his concentration at least a dozen times in meetings.
He had lost count of how many times he had watched Lin Meng’s works. It seemed that through the works, he could see her, who now kept her distance from him.
He was terrified and depressed.
Admit it, Zhu Yushen.
He laughed at himself, his voice hoarse: “You simply can’t accept that she is getting better and better without you. Her world can do without you.”
The funniest thing was that he had been looking for her, wanting to talk to her, but in his heart he was afraid that she would actually agree. For some reason, Zhu Yushen always felt that “talking it out” would be a more painful torture for him than this moment.
But what happened?
…
In the anonymous area, messages were always a mixture of true and false. After all, there was a string of codes that could only be recognized in the building, and who knew whether the person behind was a human or a ghost.
I ate a big melon late at night…
The vague title could not stop people from clicking in.
I learned from a friend in the entertainment industry that a certain Erzi Entertainment Company, which has been very popular this year, has launched a new project. Although it is a web drama, it is directed by a big director and has a big investment. It is not convenient to reveal the supporting roles that have been confirmed. I can only say that it is a star-studded lineup that you can’t imagine. The audition for the male lead will start in the next two days. I don’t know which company will get this big pie.
Every time people say that we should eat melons rationally, but if the melon is right in front of our mouth and we still refuse to eat it, we must be Buddhists.
Tsk, what’s the point of web dramas? xswl, it seems like everyone is so ignorant.
I checked the records and found out what the OP was talking about. If the news is correct, it is really good news.
Decoded, it’s Dream Entertainment, right? The director is Chen Aiming, but his movie this year was a small flop, but if you follow him, you might be able to get into the film industry.
Am I the only one curious about the supporting cast the OP is talking about? A stellar cast. Tsk, I rarely hear that.
I also heard about this gossip. Anyway, the actors who are close to their company will be on the show. There are also actors who have worked with the director before and gave him face. I don’t know the details. The audition news was just announced yesterday. The host is well-informed. I heard that the requirements for the leading role are young, male, and alive. I guess there will be bloody storms in places that we can’t see.
I bet a dime, this must be a good deal, Dream Entertainment has never failed so far, that CEO Lin who just became famous has a sharp eye, maybe the next big hit web drama will be this one.
Further down the post, there was an endless quarrel about whether the web drama was a good thing and who would get to enjoy it. The quarrel lasted until midnight when the post was deleted. However, the news also quietly fermented and undercurrents surged.
