"Hey, isn't this Donnie? Audition here? Can I do you a favor? There are so many people. I think you had better give up. It's no use trying for your ability."
His name is Henry He, Donnie's rival. They two used to be friends, but one career opportunity, in which Henry had sex with the investor and took Donnie's position, from then on, there was a clear separation between them.
"Who did I think you were. You can get out of bed. Is your investor failing, or are you falling out of favor?"
In the entertainment circle, the wealth and sex transaction was not unusual, unless you were rich and the background was strong, or already was the predecessor in the circle, new actors wanted to come out, 99% of them had to pay a certain price, the remaining 1% were lucky.
The wealth and sex transaction was an open secret in the circle. Everyone knew it. But once it was pointed out, to put it on the table was a loss of face.
Donnie's voice was not low and everyone around him turned and cast their eyes on Henry. Discussions are also ongoing.
Henry suddenly got angry, and stepped forward to seize Donnie's collar, then came the voice of Adam.
"I've already taken pictures, as a new actor, hitting someone...If the paparazzi knew about it, it would be bad for you. Be clever."
"Mr. He, don't..."
The voice that came at the same time as Adam's voice was Peter's, Henry's assistant, who was also sent by his owner to take care of his daily life.
Of course, Henry also knew that it was not a day or two since he relied on the owner behind him to do whatever he wanted, and some things had to be done in a proper way.
Henry loosened and smoothed out Donnie's wrinkled collar and said, "Donnie, we have a long time to come. If you can audition successfully for this show, I will take good care of you. Let's go, Peter, to say hello to Ben."
Although from Henry's provocation to his departure was less than three minutes, but Donnie's face was not good.
"Don't think too much, he dares not mess up, your turn, good play."
Donnie forced a smile, to make Adam rest assured, and when Donnie entered the audition room, he muttered a word absent-minded.
"I used to think it was shameful to be supported and sold by a wealthy owner, but now I know it's shameful to be trampled under foot and live a hard life."
Adam paused, thinking of Sean and things happened that night. Before there was time to console Donnie, Donnie already went in.
The antipyretic in the morning lost effect, Adam continued to have a low fever. He swallowed a few cold pills again with the mineral water, squatting in the corner waiting for Donnie to appear.
About half an hour, Donnie walked out, in a state worse than that when he went in, Adam patted his shoulder and consoled him, "It's all right, there is another audition in the afternoon, if you cannot pass this one, you still have the next."
"Who said I didn't pass?
"Do you look like you passed that?"
"I would rather I had not passed it, Henry looks like he's having a good time, even if a small role, stay in the play for two or three days, he will not miss the opportunity to insult me. Forget it, the soldiers will block the water. The hour is late, shall we go for dinner?"
"OK, my treat, to celebrate today's event."
"And then celebrate that you find your family."
"OK!"
Two people, three dishes, a meat and two vegetables, is used to celebrate this happy event, success of the audition, at noon. They picked the cheapest dishes at the film and television base, but they also spent about 200 yuan, which is really made Donnie hurt for a long time. Generally, 200 yuan were enough for them tow to live for a week.
