Abstract Art Award Winner

Chapter 173: They are both 98, why is there such a big difference?

After hearing Zhou Le say this, Yu Zheng stopped mentioning it.

After all, among the female artists on Zhou Le's side, Xiaotian is the most talented one, so Zhou Le naturally doesn't want to give her up.

Yu Zheng treated them to a meal in the evening, and after they had dinner, Zhou Le returned to the hotel.

Tian Xiwei is reading the script here.

When he saw Zhou Le coming back, he immediately stood up.

He just looked shy.

"Brother Le, I have been hiding something from you."

Zhou Le was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that you are already divorced and have two children, but you have been hiding it from me?"

Tian Xiwei: “???”

"What? I'm only 21 years old and haven't even graduated from college yet."

"What if you are particularly fertile?"

Tian Xiwei subconsciously touched her butt.

Then he realized that Zhou Le was making fun of him.

"no!"

"Yu Zheng had hinted before that I could join their company, but I refused. At the time, I was afraid you would think too much, so I didn't tell you. But then I thought about it and realized that I shouldn't have kept this a secret."

"Well, I thought it was something else, but he told me that too."

"Did you sell me to them?"

Zhou Le walked over and patted Tian Xiwei on the head: "What are you talking about? You make me look like a human trafficker."

"That's good. I still prefer our place."

"Relax, I won't let you go unless you want to leave. After all, I spent a lot of money to sign you here."

"Ah, is there any?"

"How could you not? Have you forgotten so quickly the meal I treated you to? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be willing to eat something so expensive."

"But Brother Le, you invested in The Wandering Earth before, and now the box office is so good, it's already over 3 billion, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"Oh, forget it. The money is gone. Guo Fan took it all out before it even reached my pocket. I didn't want to pay it at first. I was planning to use it to enjoy my life for a while, but we are just friends."

After saying that, Zhou Le saw that the experience value of 9763 became 9764.

"Brother Le, you're just too soft-hearted. It's not good to be a boss like this. If you're too nice to everyone, not only will others cheat you in business, but you might also lose control of your subordinates."

Zhou Le nodded: "You are right."

Then his expression suddenly became serious.

"Then starting today, you have to write a film review of no less than 2,000 words every day and send it to me on WeChat. The full score is 100. If it's less than 70, your salary will be deducted."

Tian Xiwei: "Ah?"

"Brother Le, please don't. Actually, I want you to help me check my acting skills."

"Acting." Zhou Le said as he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, "Then you act."

Tian Xiwei now wanted to slap herself in the face. She had just said something about letting Zhou Le act like a boss, but now he was using it on her.

But the cold-blooded boss looks so handsome now.

Although he looks handsome when he smiles, he is even more charming when he looks cold.

"it is good."

Tian Xiwei nodded obediently, and then began to act according to the script.

"It's a bit exaggerated for a TV series. This isn't a play; there's no need for such exaggerated dialogue and actions. Didn't Yu Zheng tell you about this on set before? Why are you still like this now?"

"I... I just did it subconsciously. Sorry, Brother Le, I'll act it out again."

Tian Xiwei calmed down and continued acting.

This time it is indeed much better.

Zhou Le nodded: "Not bad."

But after saying that, he looked at Tian Xiwei again: "Isn't this a bit too harsh? After all, I am using my own standards to ask you."

Tian Xiwei quickly waved her hands: "No, Brother Le, I always remember what you said about being happy to hear criticism. It's good for me if you are a little strict. Just be like this."

Afterwards, Zhou Le told Tian Xiwei what she should pay attention to when playing this role.

Tian Xiwei basically only listened to half of it, and spent the rest of the time looking at Zhou Le's face.

"How can you be so handsome?"

“It’s more charming when it’s serious.”

"I really want to kiss such a handsome Le brother!"

Until the end of the speech.

Zhou Le raised his head and saw Tian Xiwei's small face was red.

"What's wrong? Is it hot in the room? You should drink some water."

It just so happened that Zhou Le was a little thirsty, so he took his and Tian Xiwei's water cups from the table and went to the water dispenser to get some water.

Tian Xiwei just looked at Zhou Le in a daze for a while.

In fact, when Yu Zheng was looking for her, she was really worried that if Yu Zheng offered a high price, Zhou Le would really exchange herself for some people from Dongyang Huanyu.

Although she has not graduated yet, she knows that the scale of Zhou Le's company is far smaller than that of Dongyang Huanyu.

But she just loved the atmosphere there.

She also knew that several girls in the studio liked Zhou Le to some extent, but she just didn't want to leave.

Including what Zhou Le just said about Yu Zheng finding him.

This made her feel anxious and worried.

But just when Zhou Le came back with the cup of water, Tian Xiwei threw down the script in her hand, stood up and threw herself directly into Zhou Le's arms, put her arms around Zhou Le's waist and buried her face in Zhou Le's chest.

"Brother Le..."

Zhou Le was confused.

"What are you doing? I'm holding some water, don't let it spill."

"Brother Le."

Tian Xi raised her head slightly, her pretty face flushed.

Her twinkling eyes were filled with words, and her eyelashes were trembling slightly.

"Brother Le, please don't send me to other companies, okay? I want to stay with you forever. From childhood to adulthood, besides my parents, you've been the best to me."

Zhou Le's heart softened. "I definitely won't send you to another company. Our contract still has four years left. Unless you ever feel that I can no longer provide you with greater assistance, just tell me. I won't ask for liquidated damages then."

"I don't want to leave, Brother Le. I know I'm young and can't compare to Sister Shuxin and Sister Meng, let alone Sister Nazha, but I know who treats me well.

Although you always say that you want us to make more money so that you can buy a car and a house, we can all see that you are genuinely thinking about us.

In fact, it’s not just me who thinks this, everyone thinks you don’t look like a boss. Even Sister Meng thinks you look more like a brother.

So, I."

"You what?"

"I don't want to leave tonight. I really like the feeling of being taken care of by you. Even though you were very strict just now, you spoke with such sincerity. I felt that you looked particularly handsome just now, more handsome than ever before."

Zhou Le sighed: "Do you like this type?"

Tian Xi shook his head slightly, but his hands still did not move away.

"I just like this type of you."

The words have been made clear.

"Have you thought it through? I told Zhao Jinmai, the girl we worked with on The Wandering Earth, that I have no plans to get married or fall in love."

"I know, I haven't either. I'm still in the rising stage of my career, so I won't do that."

"Okay, but you have to let me put the cup down, right? Or are you a bit of a yandere and just enjoy this kind of forced love?"

"I, I won't."

"You really agreed, do you dare to do it if you know how to do it?"

"No no."

Tian Xiwei quickly denied it.

Then she loosened her arms, and when Zhou Le went to put the cup of water down, she just stood there, not moving at all, looking a little embarrassed.

"Are you really sure?"

"Ah."

"So what do you think we should do next?"

"You said."

"I will not say."

Zhou Le smiled playfully.

For a moment, Tian Xiwei felt even more embarrassed, but Zhou Le's current appearance was like a locomotive crashing into her heart.

"Brother Le is so mean, he actually wants me to say this myself."

“But it’s so embarrassing.”

"Then let's kiss?"

Zhou Le sighed: "Silly child, you must pay attention to hygiene. You must take a shower first. Do you know how to rub your back?"

"Rub, rub your back?"

"Yeah, I can't reach the back by myself."

"I think I will."

"Let's go, there's a bath towel in my suitcase, please help me get it."

When rubbing my back, I suddenly realized that Tian Xiwei's hands were quite strong, but compared to her hands' strength, Tian Xiwei's other parts were even stronger.

"Brother Le, does this hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, but it's quite itchy."

Tian Xiwei knew what Zhou Le was talking about, but she didn't back down. Later, when applying shower gel, Zhou Le found that little Tianer was indeed full of childishness. While washing, he actually started playing with bubbles with his arms and body.

That day, Zhou Le really felt how great it was to be young.

I also discovered that Tian Xiwei actually has sensitive skin.

When you are aroused, your body becomes limp and you have to use your hands to scoop some of it out.

It makes people feel numb to the bone.

Afterwards, I couldn't even take a shower alone.

Just like that, the next morning, Zhou Le opened his eyes and found that there was no one beside his pillow.

But I saw a big bulge in the quilt.

"Are you up so early?"

"It's okay, but you didn't get up early without Le Ge. I have to let him sleep in a little longer."

Zhou Le let out a long sigh.

"Don't you have to go to the set today?"

"Yes, but I don't have to go in the morning."

"That's okay."

It was not until after eight o'clock that they took another bath.

At half past nine, Zhou Le got up and said to Tian Xiwei, "You sleep for a while. I have to go film a variety show."

"Go ahead, Brother Le, I'll just eat something by myself at noon."

"Ah."

So in the next few days, Zhou Le was either filming variety shows or in the hotel.

He also discovered that what Xiaotian liked was not the same as what Meng Ziyi liked. Strictly speaking, Xiaotian did not like the kind of domineering president, but a mature and strict feeling.

Simply put, I like to depend on others.

I like being told what to do without having to think.

But other things aside, Oda still has plenty of time to study.

Nor will progress be hindered by some unrealistic ideas.

"Brother Le, I don't know why, but sometimes my legs feel a little weak. Am I lacking calcium?"

"No way, I see you've developed quite well, it must be a personal physique issue."

"But I feel so embarrassed, but I just can't control it."

"It's okay, I feel fine."

"Really? Does this make you feel like you've conquered something?"

"You know quite a lot."

"Of course, the sisters in the crew talked about this all day long. Of course, I just listened to them and never participated in it."

"Don't learn from them. If you want to learn, just learn their acting skills. Learning anything else will only lead to bad habits."

"Okay, Brother Le, I'll listen to you."

After the variety show was finished, Zhou Le left.

"Brother Le, I will miss you."

Zhou Le received another text message on his mobile phone.

It was followed by an emoticon of Oda with a pouty mouth.

Just after replying to Tian Xiwei, Zhou Le received another WeChat message.

Then I saw that it was sent by Meng Meiqi.

As for personal preference, Zhou Le thinks Xiaotian is very good.

But in comparison, Meng Meiqi is not his type at all.

Although he is the same age as Oda, he gives him the impression that he is too utilitarian.

At the same age, what is in their eyes is not innocence, but the desire for fame and fortune.

"Teacher Zhou, I'm going to attend an event today. Do you think this outfit is suitable for me?"

The other party sent a very bold outfit. Although there was a jacket, there was only a black bra underneath.

She was also wearing big earrings, and her eyes were indeed very seductive, but unfortunately Zhou Le was not the kind of person who would easily rebel based on beauty.

After all, this is a taboo in the underworld.

Although lustful, he is not promiscuous.

"pretty good."

Zhou Le replied.

He didn't want to say too much.

"Mr. Zhou, are you free recently? I've encountered some problems while filming recently and I'd like to ask you for advice. If you're not available, video calling is also fine."

Zhou Le thought that since it was a video, he couldn’t play it at all.

This is the easiest thing to record screen.

"I've been quite busy lately. I've been busy all day and night. I'm either working on announcements or on the road."

After Zhou Le replied to the message, he searched online.

I found that Meng Meiqi seemed to have some problems recently, but it was actually because of the scandal of running away when she was in the Chuang 2020.

Now that the filming of "Zhu Xian" has been officially announced, fans of the rival team have started to quarrel again and mentioned this matter.

Although Lehua and Tencent have already discussed it, as the leader of the female group who debuted as the center, a lot of resources were still arranged for her.

But recently there have been rumors that because of this incident, some senior executives of the company are not very satisfied, so they want to suppress her resources.

Meng Meiqi’s current way out is to either deal with the company’s top management or find another backer.

There are powerful backers in the entertainment industry right now, but Meng Meiqi does not want to just stay in the idol circle, she wants to go higher and further.

But if she goes to other places, she will not be competitive at all.

"They're targeting me, knowing I don't have anyone with that kind of influence. And if they can get me to take over, they'll still be relying on Tencent."

Zhou Le guessed in his heart.

But he was not 100% sure until Meng Meiqi suddenly sent him three numbers.

456
At first Zhou Le didn't understand it, but after all he had made jokes on the Internet, so he was good at making puns. In addition, he could play drums and suona, so he had some knowledge of music.

After understanding the meaning, Zhou Le took a deep breath.

"As expected of someone who is proficient in singing and dancing, he actually does it in such an artistic way?"

Even though I watch abstract videos online all day long, I have never seen such abstract expressions.

"You really want to improve."

Then Zhou Le directly put the other party on the blacklist.

too frightening.

If you are vague in what you say, the other party may send out the chat history at any time.

After that, Zhou Le put his phone away and stopped thinking about these things.

But on the other side, after sending that string of mysterious numbers, Meng Meiqi waited for a long time without any response, then sent an emoticon, and then saw an exclamation mark.

She really thinks so now.

Although the IP of "Zhu Xian" has a large amount of traffic, she knew the box office would definitely not be high the moment she got the script.

Failure is inevitable, and how can the company spend a lot of money to support someone who cannot bring any profit to the company?
In fact, she really wanted to form a couple with Wang Yibo from the same company, but unfortunately, they happened to be filming "The Untamed" during this period.

It hadn't been released before, but now it's going to be released and the popularity will last for at least half a year to a year, so it's absolutely impossible to argue with other people's CP.

On the other hand, among the popular movies from 17 to the present, except for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Operation Red Sea", Zhou Le has basically participated in the rest, and he played very important roles in them.

Even the supporting roles are quite outstanding.

Because of this reason, Zhou Le now has very close relationships with many powerful commercial film directors in China.

When the time comes, can't I just open my mouth and find myself an important supporting role?

Isn't this better than currying favor with the company's top management and directors in a big company?
The more important reason is that Zhou Le is very handsome.

If I'm lucky enough to become a boss's wife, I won't have to worry about anything for the rest of my life.

Unlike me now, I can only rely on my youth.

She understands the difference between having a full meal and having a full meal every time.

But Zhou Le blocked her immediately after she sent the number.

"Why?"

"It's impossible that he didn't understand. If he really didn't understand, he wouldn't have blocked me."

"But are there really any men who aren't lustful?"

"You don't even like the center position debut?"

Finally she threw her phone aside.

But the next moment the phone rang. He picked it up and looked at her face, then immediately answered it with a smile on his face.

After leaving Hengdian, Zhou Le went straight to Shenzhen.

I first contacted Han Han. The team was arranging pre-match training these days. After all, the qualifying competition would be held in a while, and only the winner would represent the team to participate in the competition.

Although the training was closed, Zhou Le had no time to stay here for training. He could only drive the car to the crew and go to the professional track there to practice when he had nothing to do.

Although Han Han was the same, most people in the team now only regarded Zhou Le and Yin Zheng as mascots.

Zhou Le arrived in the morning and Yin Zheng arrived in the afternoon.

The two are still very popular in the team. After all, no one really regards Zhou Le as a threat. As for Han Han, because of his excellent skills and the highest fame, his place has basically been secured. What they have to fight for is the remaining places.

After the meeting, Han Han first chatted with others for a few words, and then came to Zhou Le.

"Le'er, just give your best in this competition. If you can be selected, go. If not, I will arrange some other competitions for you. Although they are not the most prestigious in the country, they are still considered the second tier.

But during this period, you must be careful not to indulge yourself too much, especially when it comes to women. When you're on the track, you're a professional racer. You can do whatever you want at other times, but you must control your desires at this time."
