Chapter 7： Ok, deal

During the rest time, Jiang Dao, who was full of food, slowly strolled around the resort.

In order to record the variety show, this resort was occupied by the film crew for a whole day. At this time, there were no bustling tourists in the huge mountain courtyard, and the surrounding natural scenery was even more beautiful and peaceful.

There is an artificial lake for fishing in the middle of the mountain courtyard. Jiang Dao walks along the stone road to the lake, walks around the lake, and enjoys the fragrance of the flower garden not far away brought by the early summer breeze.

As soon as he circled the artificial lake and returned to the original point, Jiang Dao saw someone walking from the stone road and raised his hand to greet him.

"What about walking?" Chu Yinlong asked, "Did you eat too much at noon?"

Why does this person seem to pay attention to him?

Jiang Dao's brows were lightly pressed, and then stretched instantly, hiding the clues.

"Well, I'm a little supportive." He put on a polite smile without flaws, "Mr. Chu is also here for a walk?"

Chu Yinlong looked at Jiang Dao's face, stared at it for a moment, and replied, "No, I'm here to find you."

Jiang Dao froze: "...Looking for me?"

This was so straightforward, and it was a development he hadn't expected.

"Well, I'm looking for you." Chu Yinlong pointed to the path beside the artificial lake, "Talking while walking."

Jiang Dao didn't refuse, turned around and continued walking along the lake.

Chu Yinlong walked side by side with him, and went straight to the point: "I have a good script here, and I think you are quite suitable for a role in it, do you want to try it?"

"Me?" Jiang Dao was surprised.

According to his memory of this book, Jiang Dao, the villain in the story, seems to have never received any good resources. He needs to grab almost all the jobs by himself, and he may not necessarily get them.

Why did he only record half of the variety show, and the actor came here with the script?

"Yes, you." Chu Yinlong was a little helpless, "Why, not confident?"

"That's not true." Jiang Dao shook his head, "I just think... I don't have any works, and you and I have only met each other for less than a day, why did you fall in love with me?"

Chu Yinlong smiled: "Your appearance and temperament, to be honest, give me a very contradictory feeling, which just fits that role."

"Contradictions?" Jiang Dao raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, contradiction." Chu Yinlong looked into Jiang Dao's eyes, and said carefully, "It may be my illusion, I always feel that you..."

Halfway through, he laughed self-deprecatingly, as if even he thought it was impossible, "...It seems that, besides the artist, there are some secret identities. Spy, or, killer?"

Jiang Dao: ...

Jiang Dao twitched his lips and turned his face away: "Teacher Chu is quite childlike, and dares to think about anything."

"Of course, later I also thought it was impossible." Chu Yinlong said, "With your small body, it doesn't look like you have received strict training."

Jiang Dao was dissatisfied: "Hey, is it fun to poke someone's sore spot?"

Chu Yinlong smiled: "Sorry, just kidding."

Seeing that Jiang Dao wasn't really angry, he added: "Although I don't know why, you occasionally give me a feeling... a wolf cub carefully hides his minions and pretends to be a little sheep."

Jiang Dao raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "How could you have such an illusion?"

Chu Yinlong looked at him: "Whether it's an illusion, who knows... However, since you have this kind of temperament, even if you are not a wolf cub, you can try to play the role of a wolf cub. At least, your temperament is doomed, and you have an interpretation capabilities of this type of character.”

"I'm just a vase." Jiang Dao shrugged, and his tone was very relaxed, "It's okay to record variety shows, but I've never acted before, so I'm afraid I can't play the role of Teacher Chu."

"You can try it. If it's really not suitable, we won't force it." Chu Yinlong continued to persuade.

"It's not impossible to consider." Jiang Dao walked slowly, and continued to walk around the lake, "If you can help me pay the liquidated damages, then I will make a drama for you, it's okay."

"Liquidated damages?" Chu Yinlong frowned, "What liquidated damages?"

"Liquidated damages for terminating the contract." Jiang Dao said casually.

"Why? Galaxy Media suppressed you?" Chu Yinlong asked.

"No." Jiang Dao raised his head and looked at the flock of birds taking off across the lake, "I don't want to stay in the entertainment industry."

Hearing what he said, Chu Yinlong was even more surprised.

"You just debuted not long ago, why did you have such an idea?" He was really curious, "Since you don't like this circle, why did you become an artist in the first place?"

"Accident." Jiang Dao didn't explain.

He couldn't explain such a thing as time-traveling into a novel.

Chu Yinlong didn't delve into it, just sighed with a smile, and said: "To be honest, with your appearance, you have a chance to become popular. Galaxy Media has always had a poisonous vision. Since they dug you out and trained you, after you If you spent money on yourself, they won't let you retire so quickly."

After a pause, he added: "Unless you make a big mistake that a public figure must never make, or you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, and you have to be hidden... But in that case, I'm afraid you will be in trouble."

"I'm not someone who asks for trouble." Jiang Dao smiled and kicked a small stone on the side of the road into the artificial lake. There are too many clauses that can be misinterpreted, and liquidated damages may be unilaterally raised.”

After finishing speaking, he was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Chu Yinlong: "So I don't want to accept the show for the time being, unless you can directly help me settle the liquidated damages, then we can discuss it."

If Chu Yinlong can't help him settle the liquidated damages in one fell swoop, but just provide him with a high salary, I'm afraid the company will pay more attention to packaging him and promoting him. After a long time, maybe after five years he intends to quit the circle, and he will not be able to return to a truly free life.

But... as long as he remains an obedient vase, the company can neither find fault with him nor see his prospects. When the five-year contract expires, he can leave easily, and everyone will soon forget him .

So why bother with extravagance?

"That's a pity." Chu Yinlong shook his head helplessly, but instead of persuading him, he asked, "You don't want to be in the entertainment industry, so what kind of industry do you want to be in?"

Jiang Dao raised his hand, stretched his waist, and took another deep breath of the fresh air of the resort's idyllic mountains.

"Live in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, grow vegetables, raise fish, and feed a cat, a dog... Just like that, live freely."

Chu Yinlong laughed.

After a while, he asked, "What about the financial resources?"

Jiang Dao was silent, and replied: "I won't starve to death."

Chu Yinlong shook his head: "Although it won't starve to death, it is not cheap to buy a house. Plus water and electricity bills, gas bills, internet bills... If you want to live in the mountains, you have to go out all your life, and the transportation costs have to be included. There are pet rations for cats and dogs, and in case of illness, there are medical expenses..."

"Of course, you can also be self-sufficient and let your cats and dogs fend for themselves." He continued, "But the so-called pastoral life has freedom, but it is difficult to be comfortable. In order not to be hungry, you have to get up early and eat late. In the fields, a hailstorm in summer and a blizzard in winter may cut off your livelihood for several months. You probably won’t be able to eat tree bark, but if you want to eat the delicacy like today, I’m afraid the chances are slim.”

Jiang Dao: ...

This guy will really poke him to death.

He is not afraid of hard work, but he was lucky enough to travel through a time. This world has neither war nor pollution and mutation. If he still can't eat delicious food anytime and anywhere, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Chu Yinlong looked at Jiang Dao with a smile on his face: "The rural landscape and freedom you want are definitely based on a solid economic foundation."

Jiang Dao pouted, unable to refute this reality.

His original intention of leaving the entertainment circle was because he saw too much intrigue in this circle from this novel. He was tired from fighting in the world outside the book, so he wanted to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live freely.

As for financial resources... that's a problem, but not a big one.

There are still five years left in his contract with Galaxy Media. After five years, when he is more familiar with the rules of this world, with his ability, he can find a way to make money no matter what.

"How about this, since you don't want to make movies, can you do variety shows?" Chu Yinlong said.

"Variety shows... yes, but I need to discuss with my agent." Jiang Dao didn't directly refuse this time.

After all, he can't do nothing during the five-year contract period, not to mention whether the company will agree, Zhu Yao may find excuses to fine him money.

Moreover, he really needs to save some money for a rainy day...and buy some delicious food.

Activities such as variety shows have income, but they are not serious works. The achievements are not high or low. For artists, there are opportunities to show their faces, but they can hardly earn much heavyweight word of mouth. It is most suitable for erecting vases. , exactly what Jiang Dao needed.

"Understood." Chu Yinlong chuckled lightly and said no more.

The two walked around the artificial lake side by side again, just when Zhu Yao came to find him, and Jiang Dao was called back to pack his makeup and hair for the afternoon recording.

Watching Jiang Dao being taken away by his manager, Chu Yinlong lowered his head to send a message to his friend.

"Director Mu, record a variety show together?"

The other side replied quickly:

"Didn't you go to help Xiao Tang?"

"What? You're addicted to recording a variety show for the first time?"

Chu Yinlong:

"That's not true."

"Finding a new person, it feels like the little gray wolf has stepped out of the script."

"Unfortunately, he said that he doesn't want to make movies for the time being, he only accepts variety shows."

A series of exclamation points were quickly sent from the opposite side, followed by a voice message:

"A child with that kind of temperament really? Who is it? Bring me to meet you!"

Chu Yinlong replied with a smile:

"Please don't move, people don't recognize my face."

"Brother Peng just invited me to their variety show, I haven't replied yet, why don't you come too."

"I'll ask Brother Peng to contact the kid's company. Let's go through the process of two days and three nights. Is it enough for you to observe?"

The opposite party immediately made a decision: "That's it!"
