Chapter 42 She Became the Financial Sponsor of the Future Best Actor (02)
After wiping the water off his body, Lou Si lay peacefully on the bed. If he hadn't closed his eyes and fumbled for the fan switch, he would have looked like he was dead.
But it's pretty much the same.
He was really dying.
After his family went bankrupt, he entered the entertainment industry with his good looks, but after filming a small web drama, he was replaced because he refused the unspoken rules.
That person was willing to overturn twenty-four episodes and give away the remuneration for these dozens of episodes for nothing, just to change the role.
Moreover, he was banned in the industry.
Lou Si ran around all day under the scorching sun today, interviewing for seven small web dramas, even interviewing for supporting roles.
However, the interviewer informed him on the spot that he was not qualified.
It was only when one of the directors hinted that some bigwigs didn't want to see him on the screen that he realized he had been banned.
The 100,000 yuan earned from filming was used to pay off debts, leaving Lou Si with only 5,000 yuan left. In two days, he had to pay the rent, utilities, and he didn't know if he had even 1,000 yuan left.
Whether it can survive this month is still a question.
Lou Si slept naked because the weather was hot and he had nothing to cover himself with.
Therefore, the system has been locked in a small dark room and cannot get out.
Jiang Yuan stared at the person on the bed in silence for a long time before he started reading the plot again.
Before the Lou family went bankrupt, Lou Si was a cynical young man who spent his days eating, drinking and having fun. He had not learned any knowledge at all. As a result, after the company went bankrupt, in order to pay off the huge debt, he had no choice but to enter the entertainment industry where he could make money quickly.
The people who follow Lou Si all day long are a bunch of bad friends.
Once he lost power, those friends quickly drifted away. Not to mention seeking help, Lou Si couldn't contact them at all.
Those who had received help from the Lou family in the past, seeing that Lou's father and mother had passed away and Lou Si was uneducated, thought that the Lou family had no chance to make a comeback, and they did not want to do business at a loss and did not provide any help to Lou Si.
But there are still many rich ladies and girls who like Lou Si's face.
Jiang Yushu is one of them.
The first short web drama shot by Lou Si was invested by Jiang Yushu.
She knew that Lou Si had a strong sense of self-esteem and would not give in easily, so she waited until all the episodes were filmed and used this as a threat to force Lou Si to be her lover.
Seeing that Lou Si refused, he banned him.
The current turning point should be when Jiang Yushu just banned Lou Si.
The fan was humming, and the rental house was like a steamer. Even the air blown out by the fan was hot air.
This is not the time to sleep.
Lou Si lay on the bed with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.
After a long time, he jumped up from the bed, turned off the electric fan, sat down at the desk, picked up a book to improve his acting skills, and started studying.
It's normal to be alone at home without wearing any clothes in the scorching hot summer.
The room is small, and no matter where you stand, you can see the whole room.
Jiang Yuan still stood there, not moving.
While learning, Lou Si performed to the air according to the instructions above.
In the past, he looked down upon actors the most, but now he has to join them in order to make a living.
Lou Si's pride had already been worn away a little when he first entered the entertainment industry.
But Lou Si was still full of hope at this time. He looked good and his voice was not bad either. If he was willing to work harder and improve his acting skills, even if he didn't win an award, he would at least become a familiar face in the entertainment industry.
Even though he knew he was banned, Lou Si still spent time improving his acting skills, hoping that after a while, Jiang Yushu would forget about him and he could return to the entertainment industry.
After finishing reading the book, Lou Si took out his broken-screen mobile phone and watched TV series and movies of his predecessors.
He originally had a good cell phone, but he was not careful during the audition. There were many people in Hengdian and his cell phone was stolen by someone.
I could only spend money to buy a cheap phone from a second-hand phone store.
Similar things happened several times. In just three months of entering the entertainment industry, Lou Si had learned more than he had in the past twenty-three years.
As dusk fell, Lou Si made a bowl of instant noodles and ate while studying the acting skills of his predecessors.
Fortunately, the TV series and movies produced by our predecessors are all good, otherwise, with Lou Si’s personality that is not studious and cannot sit still, he really would not be willing to sit down and watch them.
After dinner, Lou Si watched another movie, wrote a simple learning summary, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The room finally became dark, but because the system had night vision capabilities, it was still locked in the small dark room.
Jiang Yuan reopened the story and continued watching.
It was not closed until midnight.
Find a corner, sit down and close your eyes.
The next day, Jiang Yuan opened his eyes after hearing some noise in the room.
Lou Si is getting dressed.
Her mission is to follow Lou Si.
Therefore, one cannot look away at will.
Watching the man put on his clothes and getting ready to go out, Jiang Yuan followed him.
The place where Lou Si lives is a bit remote.
But the rent of houses here is much cheaper than in the city.
When traveling, I only rely on a bicycle.
Seeing Lou Si unlock the car and prepare to get in, Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate and sat in the back seat.
As long as she didn't exert any force, the weight was negligible.
Lou Si didn’t notice that there was an extra person in the back seat.
He just felt that the sunlight behind him was not that bright.
After riding his bike to a breakfast shop, Lou Si ordered a bowl of porridge and buns and sat down to eat.
On the phone, I still check out part-time jobs.
I won’t be able to go filming again in the short term.
So during this period of time, you must first find a good job.
It is not easy to get a full-time job. Firstly, it is inconvenient for him to learn acting. Secondly, most companies want to keep wages down. If he leaves without working enough hours, his salary will be reduced by 20%.
Part-time jobs like those at Starbucks and KFC pay 22 per hour, and he works there for a few hours a day, which is just enough to make a living.
Nor will I give up acting.
After finding a coffee shop that was relatively close, Lou Si rode his bike to the interview.
The manager was surprised when he saw him, as if he was surprised that someone like him would come to the coffee shop to work part-time.
After all, the person in front of him looked very impressive, like a rich kid who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, and the clothes he was wearing cost thousands of dollars.
If Lou Si knew what he was thinking, he would definitely change into cheaper clothes.
After his family went bankrupt, he sold everything that could be sold. He sold most of the clothes that had been out of season for a long time and were placed at the end of his cloakroom at a low price. In the end, he only kept a few pieces for himself.
He usually wears his best clothes when he goes for an interview.
Who would have thought that this would become an obstacle for him.
The store manager thought he was a rich young man who came to experience life and would leave after working for less than two hours, so he simply didn't hire him.
The reason for dismissal is very simple, that is, the people to be recruited need to have experience in making coffee and latte art, but they do not provide training here.
It was just that Lou Si had never done these part-time jobs before, so he was fooled by the store manager.
He didn't know what his problem was. He went to five or six places for interviews in one day, but no one wanted him.
