Chapter 486 The Bottom Line
"I'm sorry to cause you trouble, but I will definitely not agree, sorry."
At the entrance of the student dormitory of Beijing Chinese Opera, Su Ye was answering the phone politely.
It's winter, and the leaves have all fallen, leaving only the bare branches, which has a feeling of desolation.
Su Ye's mood hasn't improved in the past few days. Even the roommates in the dormitory said that they haven't seen her smile for several days.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ye stared blankly at the gray sky and the bare branches, which was quite unpleasant.
Turn on the screen of the phone, and above it is a photo of her and Yang Yang in Sefton Park, Liverpool, England. The two of them are head to head, smiling very happily. It was the happiest period of her life.
And when she thought of Yang Yang, her heart felt warm.
Taking a deep breath, dispelling all thoughts, Su Ye walked back to the dormitory.
……
"Little Yezi, which company is calling again?"
"Ah."
"They still want to sign you?"
"Ah."
"You refused again?"
"……Um."
There was silence in the dormitory, and the roommates looked at her differently.
"To be honest, Xiao Yezi, this is currently the most powerful film company in China. I heard that the first sister of their company just left the nest recently. If you go, you will definitely be highly praised. You invest in so many films every year. With your conditions, it will definitely be popular. Why don't you agree?"
"That's right, Su Ye, these days, being in the entertainment industry, making gossip, talking about fake love affairs is nothing at all. The kind of thinking you hold now is too conservative."
"For a newcomer like us, it would be great if we could gain a firm foothold in the entertainment circle and have some scenes to shoot, but you're lucky, you still pick and choose. If you don't shoot kiss scenes, intimacy scenes, and sex scenes, then that's fine. You can't make scandals or anything like that. How can you gain popularity like this?"
"Yezi, to be honest, I really admire you, but we have to recognize the reality."
The roommates talked to each other with kind words.
A month ago, under the recommendation of the school tutor, Su Ye and a few students went to audition for another film crew.
This time, it was a big production co-produced by China and the United States, and the participating actors were all well-known Chinese actors in Hollywood. It was also a rare and good opportunity, and Su Ye performed amazingly during the interview.
Needless to say, her acting skills have improved rapidly since she was enrolled in Chinese opera for more than a year, and she is the most savvy actor in the eyes of her instructor.
But more importantly, her appearance and temperament were valued by the most powerful domestic company that invested in the film on the spot, and wanted to sign her.
But after signing the contract with the company, many things can no longer be left to her own will. At that time, Su Ye will have to personally break the three chapters of the agreement she made with her father before, so she chose to refuse.
Rejecting the film company's contract is tantamount to rejecting the film contract of this big production. In addition, the two films that auditioned before, although they both entered the second round, but there is still no news, and it is probably yellow.
Therefore, the roommates were also feeling sorry for Su Ye, after all, this was a godsend opportunity that countless people dreamed of.
As long as you sign with this company, you will definitely be popular.
……
"Yezi, listen to my advice, don't cling to those pedantic rules. In today's world, as long as you are popular, you are qualified to negotiate terms with others, and you are qualified to be noble. Now you have no background and no financial resources. The only thing you can rely on is yourself and the resources of China Opera."
"If you miss it, I'm afraid there will never be another chance like this in the future."
The roommates also tried their best to persuade them.
"I understand, but I'm not arrogant. This is my bottom line. Maybe it's higher, but I will stick to it." Su Ye also said without a doubt.
"For your boyfriend?"
Su Ye acquiesced.
"Is it worth it? If something so big happened, if it was someone else, I'm afraid he would have come to look for you a long time ago, but he hasn't even seen a person, and he hasn't even made a phone call. He..."
"I didn't tell him at all." Su Ye snapped.
"why?"
Su Ye's eyes were filled with tears, but he blinked stubbornly, trying not to cry, and his voice was slightly choked.
"What he does is a thousand times more important than me. Compared with him, my affairs are not worth mentioning. I don't want him to be distracted."
"Heh, is he Li Ka-shing or Bill Gates? Didn't you work so hard to pass the acting exam just to make a movie? Is there anything more important than the trouble you're in now?"
"Acting is indeed my greatest interest, but if I lose him because of it, I would rather not act."
"Then you must have been drugged by him, he is not worth it!"
"Whether it's worth it or not, it doesn't count if you say it, but it counts when I say it."
……
Seeing that the two were almost quarreling, the roommates also rushed to mediate.
Everyone persuaded me one by one, but Su Ye remained unmoved and insisted on his decision.
She understands that her roommates also care about her and wish her well, but each of them has their own persistence.
And that's her bottom line.

"Happy birthday!"
At his home in Liverpool, Yang Yang turned on his laptop and greeted Su Ye who was far away in Beijing through QQ video chat. Although it was a bit blurry, he saw Su Ye smiling happily.
In order to celebrate his birthday, Su Ye took the bus for more than an hour to go home, and prepared a small cake with candles.
The shabby appearance of that piece of cake made Yang Yang amused, but he was moved from the bottom of his heart.
"They also want to celebrate my birthday tonight. The head coach made an exception and allowed us to gather, but we must go home before twelve o'clock. If tomorrow morning, the newspaper shows that we are still outside at twelve o'clock, then he will go crazy."
"The landlord organized it?" Su Ye asked.
"Yeah." Yang Yang curled his lips, "However, he used my rent."
Su Ye was amused.
In fact, she had a good relationship with Gerrard's girlfriend Kuran during this period of time in the UK.
Yang Yang made some excuses to make some jokes, probably all about what happened to him today, and he also made sure that this was a private party, at most it would be the player's girlfriend or wife, and there would be no outsiders.
"So, you can rest assured that tomorrow you will definitely not see photos of me with other women." Yang Yang said jokingly.
Su Ye kept nodding, and replied solemnly: "Then I can rest assured."
In fact, she never worried about it.
Yang Yang was also amused by her.
Recently, Su Ye's second round of auditions has not been given the result, and both plays may be dirty, so Yang Yang will change his ways to please her every day, but today there is really no way.
Knowing that he was in a hurry to go out, Su Ye urged him to hurry up and not be late.
After several urgings, Yang Yang reluctantly went out.
In the empty living room of Yang Yang's home in Beijing, Su Ye looked at the closed video chat window, feeling sad.
Tears finally fell down without disappointment.
…………
…………
Celebrating Yang Yang's birthday was just a fair and reasonable excuse found by Gerald and others.
To put it bluntly, these guys just want to go out and roam.
The requirements given by the coaching staff are also more humane. Each person can have at most one bottle of beer, not too much. We will check tomorrow morning. Whoever drinks too much will suffer a lot by then.
After coming to the Premier League, Yang Yang discovered that men in this country really have a crazy love for beer. Even a self-disciplined player like Gerrard can drink without ambiguity.
Another problem is gambling.
Gambling by Premier League teams is also the norm. Even national team player gambling can often make headlines and become a hot news for England fans. Who loses how much money can also become a talking point.
This time they directly booked a high-end private club and sang after dinner.
Since there were no outsiders around, all the players relaxed and had a great time. When they sang, under the stimulation of alcohol, they even became a little unrestrained.
Yang Yang was there all the time, but he didn't drink at all, because he knew how bad his drinking capacity was.
But in tonight's party, he saw another side of many players.
For example, Riise, the Norwegian player is very fierce on the court, but he is a bit taciturn off the court. He also does not drink, but his singing is too ugly. When he heard that he wanted to sing, the audience booed.
It can be said to be howling ghosts and howling wolves.
Gerrard and Kevin Dirk are the team's Maiba, and these two guys also take over the task of singing in the Liverpool dressing room, but their taste really makes Yang Yang dare not compliment them.
Anyway, every time in the car or in the locker room, Yang Yang would either simply sleep and go to the super training ground to practice, or put on headphones to listen to Jay Chou, Eason Chan and JJ Lin, without hearing those terrible noises.
In the carnival atmosphere, coupled with singing and howling, everyone unknowingly drank an extra bottle.
"The boss guessed it a long time ago, so he said that he would only drink one bottle at most." Harvey Alonso shook his head.
The biggest difference between his party tonight and the usual one is that he didn't bring those big books, but he is similar to Yang Yang, they belong to the fringes of carnival parties, the two sit in the corner, no one cares about them.
"What do you mean?" Yang Yang was a little confused.
"It's very simple. If there is a tolerance of two bottles, then they must drink three or even four bottles." Harvey Alonso laughed.
Only then did Yang Yang suddenly realize that there is still such a thing.
"But don't think that they don't understand restraint, but it's really been too hard recently. We haven't had a carnival like tonight for a long time."
Liverpool just reversed Manchester United [-]-[-] in an away game, and then defeated Reading [-]-[-] at home with a substitute lineup in the League Cup. Yang Yang topped the Premier League scorer list again. The performance of the Red Army this season is indeed surprising.
"The players are under a lot of pressure, and sometimes it is necessary to vent appropriately." Harvey Alonso said with a smile.
Yang Yang nodded, he knew exactly how much pressure there was.
While the two were chatting, Gerald and the others finally noticed tonight's protagonist, and immediately walked over.
In the carnival atmosphere and under the influence of alcohol, they insisted on letting Yang Yang sing, and whoever it was, even shouted to call two beauties to celebrate Yang Yang's birthday, causing everyone in the audience to boo.
