[R18] These men are poisonous – “These Men Are Toxic” [Extra] Fair Competition [English]

The door of the rental house was pushed open, and Qiu Yibai staggered in, smelling of alcohol.

After closing the door and locking it, he sat down on the ground along the wall and took a deep breath.

After waiting for a long time, he staggered to the broken cabinet in the living room, took out a bottle of medicine, took a few tablets and swallowed it.

I’ve been having stomachaches a lot lately, probably because I drank too much from too many drinking parties a few days ago.

It’s a pity that those drinking sessions were of no use at all in the end.

No one knew that he had left the Qiu family. Even though he had seriously said that he wanted to make movies on his own and not have anything to do with Xingchen Entertainment, in the eyes of outsiders, he was still the second son of the Qiuyuan Group.

As long as he has this identity, he will never worry about being out of roles. Most people in the circle will give him enough face on any occasion.

But this is not what he wants.

He has returned everything the Qiu family gave him, and he will never be tainted by the Qiu family’s halo.

So in the end, he formed a team and came to this small town to start filming the web drama again.

Of course, he has filmed online dramas before, but he did it because he took a fancy to some sensitive subjects that could not be broadcast on stars. In terms of cost, production, actors, etc., those dramas are extremely sophisticated.

Because behind him, there is Xingchen Entertainment and the entire Qiuyuan Group.

But now, it is purely because of lack of money.

He has indeed made a lot from his own investment over the years, but the basis of the investment, the funds that were in his hands from the beginning, still come from the Qiu family. If he wants to repay it, he must pay it back thoroughly.

When he left the Qiu family, he didn’t have much savings left, and he didn’t have a car or a house.

As for now…

Looking at the simple layout of the rental house and the box of uneaten instant noodles on the noisy old refrigerator, Qiu Yibai couldn’t help but chuckle.

Young Master Qiu, who has been pampered since he was a child, actually has such a downturn.

But no matter how depressed, no matter how difficult the life is, my heart is still determined.

He has found his own pride, and he is no longer the loser who can only rely on the Qiu family.

He was also free.

From now on, no one can stop him from being with Zuo Ning.

Even if he doesn’t know where she is.

But as long as he doesn’t give up, he will definitely find it.

He can’t give up, never.

When the alarm rang, it was just dawn. When I got up from the bed, my stomach still hurt a little, but it didn’t stop him from rushing to the set.

This is probably the poorest crew in history. When this drama is produced, it will definitely be the shabbiest drama.

But so what?This is a complete drama that belongs to director Qiu Yibai, not to Qiu Yibai, the second son of the Qiu family.

The actors are all carefully selected by he. There are unknown artists who have never been able to get ahead, there are drama school students who naively pursue their dreams, and there are also well-qualified extras who travel to major studios.

He picked the script from a bunch of tepid online novels. Because they were not popular, the copyright was cheap.

As for the crew and other staff, they were established at the lowest cost.

Although he is poor and small in scale, he strictly controls everything, pays close attention to every shooting detail, and strives to achieve the best quality within limited conditions.

In the joking words of several crew members, they are currently filming this show with their hearts and lives.

It’s hard work every day, but it’s also fulfilling.

“I feel like you’ve changed a lot.”

“If we don’t change, I will probably spend my whole life in a muddle.” Looking at Gao Xia who came to visit the class, Qiu Yibai looked calm.

Because Gao Xiadai’s crew was filming in a provincial capital not far from the town, he took advantage of his break to come and see the legendary poorest crew with his own eyes.

“I am really poor, but from the looks of it, there is more love than the group I was in.”

“Your place is where big names gather and fight openly and secretly, vying for celebrity positions and exposure. Here, we are all 18th-line transparent, who is fighting with whom?”

Seeing a “he” gesture from a field manager in the distance, Qiu Yibai turned to look at Gao Xia with a smile, “You haven’t tried to be a group actor since your big star debut, right?”

“So?”

“Let’s go and let you experience the feeling of playing a dead body. It can also save me fifty yuan. If I play another one myself, that’s a hundred yuan.”

“It turns out that your crew can afford fifty yuan for playing corpses. I thought it was only ten yuan each.”

“Ten dollars for extras. If you want to know him, introduce him to me.”

In the end, the two of them actually acted as extras several times, changing clothes and filming four or five scenes. But when it was broadcast in the future, as long as no one told them, no one would think that it would be a big-name actor and a rich second-generation director.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to help you promote it?” Gao Xia couldn’t help but ask when we were having dinner together.

Qiu Yibai shook his head.

Of course he knew that with Gao Xia’s popularity, just saying a casual word would naturally greatly increase the exposure of this drama.

But after all, Gao Xia is still an artist of Xingchen. He wants to rely entirely on himself, a small director who has separated from all the resources and connections of the Qiu family and starts over.

“Hasn’t there been any news about her recently?” He spoke unknowingly, but Qiu Yibai also knew that the answer was yes.

The group the six of us built to look for Zuo Ning has been silent for a long time.

Gao Xia sighed and drank the beer in his hand silently.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Qiu Yibai seriously: “I like her.”

“I know.”

Gao Xia shook his head: “I like her more than you thought. I wasn’t sure before. I thought it was just because of the mistake I made that I felt guilty for her and wanted to do everything I could to make up for her. But I understood when I saw her with you. At that time, I was jealous of you.”

Qiu Yibai smiled bitterly and took two sips of beer: “Then you don’t have to be jealous now, I lost her.”

“I’m still jealous, because she really loved you, and I…as long as she really doesn’t hate me, I’m satisfied. How can I ask for more?”

Gao Xia looked up at the dark night sky in the distance, and couldn’t help caressing the shell bracelet on his wrist with his fingertips.

It was given by Zuo Ning on his birthday. It was not worth much, but it had always been his most cherished treasure.Even on many occasions, this bracelet does not match his outfit at all.

After all, he has nothing but this.

At least Qiu Yibai still has Zuo Ning’s love and good memories, but he only gave Zuo Ning a nightmare.

“Qiu Yibai.” Gao Xia turned back to look at the man who was drinking. “Since I was a child, I haven’t snatched anything from you, but this time, I want to snatch it once.”

Qiu Yibai raised his eyes and saw he’s eyes firmly saying: “I will definitely find Zuo Ning, and I will definitely not back down anymore. Let’s compete fairly.”
