Ning Shichu took Li Jiewen back to the city, stopped the car in front of a hotel, and said to him, "Okay, you should get off the car now."
But Li Jiewen seemed to be relying on her and refused to get out of the car at all. He said: "Ms., why are you so unsympathetic? I just committed suicide once, and you are so cold and heartless to me. What if I feel that life is... What if you feel hopeless and want to continue committing suicide?"
Ning Shichu turned his head and stared at him coldly: "Really? Since you have the urge to commit suicide so easily, why not be my sandbag before you die and let me practice my boxing and kicking? I happen to feel that the sandbag I bought is not strong enough. , it was broken in two or three strokes, you, a human sandbag, came just in time, why don't you repay me before you leave this world?"
Li Jiewen immediately shuddered and said with a smile: "No, no, I'm not suitable to be a punching bag..."
I don't know if Li Jiewen has a "flinging bird mentality" towards Ning Shichu, who saved him. In short, no matter how Ning Shichu ridiculed him, he endured it, and he felt a bit shameless.
"What do you want to do by not leaving?" Ning Shichu asked impatiently. If she rescued someone but also rescued a dog-skin plaster, then she would wish to turn back time and stop meddling in other people's business.
"Um... I see you are quite rich. Are you interested in investing in my movie?" Li Jiewen finally told Ai Ai his purpose.
Ning Shichu:...
She glanced at Li Jiewen with a strange expression. Li Jiewen immediately puffed up his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a pheasant director. I once won the National Award for Best New Director. I was the one who made "Cocoon" five years ago. Have you seen it? It also won the Golden Plum Director Award and Best Screenplay..."
Ning Shichu thought about it for a moment, and indeed he remembered the movie "Cocoon" he was talking about. This small-budget movie was indeed the biggest dark horse of the year. Although it did not win the box office championship, it was still in the top five. After starring in this The protagonists of the movie were originally just 18th-tier transparent ones, but because of this movie they became an instant hit, and now they have become first- and second-tier stars in the industry.
As the director of this movie, Li Jiewen should have skyrocketed, but Ning Shichu didn't expect that he would become what he is now. In just five years, he would go from being a rising director to being in despair and even committing suicide. .
Thinking of this, Ning Shichu couldn't help but look at Li Jiewen with suspicion.
As soon as Li Jiewen saw the look in her eyes, he immediately said anxiously: "I am really the director of "Cocoon", I didn't lie to you!"
"Then how did you become like this?" Ning Shichu asked curiously.
"..." Li Jiewen was silent for a while, then replied quietly:
"I was young at that time, and after achieving a little success, I became confused. I didn't realize how high the sky was when I was praised by others. I signed a contract with Houde Entertainment. Who knew that people only took a fancy to my reputation, but actually they didn't put me in the spotlight at all. In their eyes, they forced me to make bad dramas to promote popular celebrities, and to take the scripts I wrote as my own...
Isn’t it funny? At first, I believed in the reputation of Houde so much that I signed the contract without even reading it. It wasn’t until the copyright of my script became the company’s that I realized I was a fool.
That's all, I learned a lesson from the experience. If someone takes over the script, I'll take it. At most, I won't write it again during the contract period. But I didn't expect that Houde saw me and refused to renew the contract, so he actually wanted me to do it. Cutting the roots and killing them all, I was banned from the industry after my contract expired.
I couldn't find anyone to invest, I couldn't find actors willing to act in my plays, and they wouldn't even rent me the space in the film and television city. When I was desperate, I decided to give up on my life on impulse. "
Ning Shichu was speechless for a moment. Li Jiewen's experience was indeed pitiable. She asked, "Hude treated you like this, didn't you leave any evidence?"
"It's useless. Houde has been doing this for who knows how long. There are so many traps in those contracts. If I sue them, I will only be the one who suffers." Li Jiewen said with a wry smile, "The power of capital is too great. I I used to think that I could resist if I had the ability and talent, but I didn’t expect that reality would teach me how to behave.”
"I'm also a member of Capital. Why do you believe me? Are you afraid that I will take your achievements as my own like Houde?" Ning Shichu asked.
Li Jiewen said self-deprecatingly: "If this is really the case, then I will accept my fate. After all, it is okay to be blind once. If I am blind and see the wrong person every time, then I will be too stupid and I will not be able to survive in the entertainment industry in the future. It’s better to leave the circle early, it won’t be worse than now.”
Ning Shichu nodded and said, "Then you are quite lucky to have met me this time." She said, restarted the car and drove towards her company.
"Where are you taking me?" Li Jiewen asked.
"You will naturally know when you get to the place." Ning Shichu said.
Ning Shichu's company was not far away and she arrived soon. She took Li Jiewen to her company. Sun Yu was talking to several agents. When he saw her coming in, he ended the conversation and asked the agents to leave. .
"Mr. Ning, you are here, who is this?" Sun Yu asked when he saw Ning Shichu coming in with an unfamiliar man.
"This is Li Jiewen, the director of "Cocoon". Now I have a script on hand that I want to shoot. Please find someone to evaluate whether it is worth investing in." Ning Shichu got straight to the point.
"The director of "Double Cocoon"?" Sun Yu is an insider. "Double Cocoon" was a hit movie a few years ago. He naturally remembered it. Therefore, when he heard that Li Jiewen was the director of "Double Cocoon", he immediately became excited. She was shocked and stretched out her hand to shake his hand: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! I've admired your name for a long time."
Li Jiewen was bullied everywhere in Houde Entertainment. It had been a long time since he had been looked at with such admiration. Now that he was treated with such respect by Sun Yu, he felt a little flattered. He quickly shook hands with Sun Yu and said: "Mr. Sun, I'm sorry. My little achievements don't deserve your kindness..."
The two complimented each other some more, and Ning Shichu finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "Okay, stop bragging. Can't you get down to business earlier?"
Sun Yu and Li Jiewen stopped chatting. Ning Shichu asked Sun Yu to tell Li Jiewen about his new script. Sun Yu naturally agreed repeatedly. After all, his impression of Li Jiewen was still in "Double Cocoon", not at all. Knowing that Li Jiewen has made many bad movies over the years, everyone has said that he has exhausted his talents.
And Houde Entertainment wanted to drive him away. To this end, they fabricated a lot of dirty information about Li Jiewen and poured a lot of dirty water on him. They said that he was a female star with unspoken rules, had a bad temper, was arrogant, hit people on the set, and was suspected of being suspected of being a female star. Plagiarizing and appropriating other people's scripts...
In short, no matter how you ruin someone's reputation, Li Jiewen is indeed in a bad state online during this period. Many people are clamoring for him to get out of the entertainment industry, saying that he is not worthy of being a director.
