Chapter 158: Saying one thing and thinking

another Director Wu, or Wu Bing, has been in pain recently because he can’t dream of the Ghost King anymore.

The Ghost King only said a few words to him that time, and he felt his powerful power, and he had conceived countless plots in his mind. After waking up, he immediately recorded this inspiration and decided to shoot a new drama.

Sometimes inspiration is something you can only encounter by chance, and every inspiration is precious.

Wu Bing has already attracted several investors who are fools with this inspiration of just a few words. As a director who has shot several hit dramas, he is an old hand at attracting investment, and he is very experienced in deceiving investors.

Many investors don’t understand the drama at all, as long as you dare to brag, they will believe it.

As for the results of the show, no one can guarantee it. After all, whether you can make a hit or

not is sometimes a matter of luck. Even Wu Bing, although he has made several good shows, has also made some that flopped.

He is considered to be more conscientious. Some directors are even more amazing. When soliciting investment, the content they said they were going to shoot is completely different from what was actually shot. I don’t know how they fooled those investors.

Having said that, Wu Bing really wants to make the new show "Ghost King" well, so he needs more inspiration. He thinks of a way to inspire more inspiration, which is... dreaming!

——He plans to write and direct "Ghost King" himself. After all, he is the only one who has "personally" seen the mysterious Ghost King.

However, sleeping and dreaming are not something that humans can control. But Wu Bing is also a magical person. He thinks that as long as he sleeps enough times, he will definitely dream about the Ghost King again!

In order to stimulate himself to dream about the Ghost King, he would read books related to the Ghost King when he had nothing to do. However, after reading so much, he did dream about it, but he felt that this dream was wrong.

This dream is really too much like a dream. ——Many people would be speechless when they heard this.

Anyway, Wu Bing felt that these dreams were too illusory. He could feel that they were things that his cerebral cortex subconsciously fabricated after being stimulated. How could he, who had actually dreamed about the Ghost King, accept this garbage!

He was completely intoxicated in the madness of sleeping and dreaming, and would lie down in bed and take a nap whenever he had nothing to do.

However, sleeping should be the most relaxing activity for people, and once people are nervous and put some pressure on themselves, they will become more anxious, leading to a vicious cycle.

The more you want to sleep, the more you can't sleep, and the more you can't sleep, the greater the pressure.

After a period of time, Wu Bing succeeded and successfully made himself insomniac.

He tossed and turned all day and night and couldn't sleep. Kong Banlian, who shared the bed with him, tried to comfort him at first, but later he couldn't sleep because of his noise, so he finally chose to sleep in the second bedroom next door.

Who knew that he couldn't sleep well in the second bedroom either, and was still tortured by Wu Bing.

Wu Bing has gone a little crazy due to long-term insomnia. He often cries and laughs in the middle of the night. Especially in the middle of the night, Kong Banlian heard the dead noise while half asleep and half awake. She admitted that she had the impulse to strangle Wu Bing countless times.

She thought Wu Bing was sick, most likely mentally ill. Maybe being an artist has to be more or less related to this. She seriously advised Wu Bing: "I think you should go to a mental hospital to have a good look."

Wu Bing felt insulted: "This is called the pursuit of art. You don't understand. You are sick, and your whole family is sick!"

You see, mentally ill people will never admit that they are sick.

But the famous director going to a mental hospital for treatment is likely to be on the hot search, which is not good for Wu Bing's reputation. Kong Banlian considered for a long time and decided to find a master to take a look. Maybe he is not mentally ill, but just simply possessed by evil spirits?

Never mind, let's see, we'll give it a try.

Jiang Yiqing listened to Kong Banlian's thoughts: "..."

Okay.

"Wu Bing, be normal!" Kong Banlian's attitude was a bit like a mother scolding her ignorant son: "Guests are coming, don't embarrass me."

Wu Bing's voice stopped abruptly, he turned his head slowly with messy hair and looked at Jiang Yiqing, the dark circles under his eyes made him look particularly funny.

But in front of outsiders, Wu Bing still behaved like a great director, nodded to Jiang Yiqing: "Hello."

"Since you have guests, I won't disturb you." Wu Bing said, and walked elegantly to find a place where no one was around to go crazy again.

As a result, he was stopped by Kong Banlian, who said very tactfully: "This is Master Jiang, come and help you."

Wu Bing's face changed, no longer as elegant as before, and he took two steps at a time, excitedly walked to Jiang Yiqing, and pulled the other's arm: "Master Jiang! Can you help me see the Ghost King!"

Kong Banlian's face turned black: "Wu Bing, I'll let him exorcise the evil spirit for you!"

"I'm not possessed, I..." Wu Bing subconsciously retorted, and halfway through his words, Xiu Yan had already stepped forward and pulled Jiang Yiqing's arm out of Wu Bing's blind hand, looking at Wu Bing with a cold look.

Wu Bing felt a shock, staring at Xiu Yan blankly, and then his face flushed with excitement: "You...you you you..."

Could it be that the other party recognized him? Xiu Yan frowned slightly, but even though he entered Wu Bing's dream that day, Wu Bing was just an ordinary human being and should not remember.

Xiu Yan silently gathered a ball of black air from his fingertips and stared at Wu Bing.

The latter kept saying "you" for a long time before finally saying: "You are very suitable to play the leading role in my new drama "Ghost King". Are you interested? Don't worry, I will make you famous!"

Xiu Yan paused, and the black air between his fingers disappeared without a trace. He looked at Wu Bing strangely and said lightly: "Not interested."

Wu Bing obviously did not expect that he would be rejected. He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: "Do you know who I am? Those famous stars are vying for a role from me. Do you know how rare this opportunity is? Maybe you don't You know too much about the entertainment industry, let me tell you something…"

Xiu Yan's head hurt from the noise, his eyes were heavy, and he looked at Wu Bing coldly: "Shut up, noisy!"

Wu Bing fell silent instantly, Xiu Yan thought he was scared, but Wu Bing remained silent for a moment, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, and he became more excited: "Hahaha, I think not only your image, but your aura is also very suitable for the Ghost King! Although it's not as good as the Ghost King, but I can't invite the Ghost King to come over, you can play a role together."

Xiu Yan glanced at Jiang Yiqing and thought at the same time: Am I very old? When is the title of "old man" useful?

This director should be thankful that Yiqing is here, otherwise, he will make the other party never want to mention the word "Ghost King" for the rest of his life.

"You really won't consider it?" Wu Bing said dryly, touched a glass of water and drank it, then looked at Xiu Yan expectantly.

The middle-aged man in his forties or fifties showed an expectant look at this time, which was really a bit hot. Jiang Yiqing turned his head away, unable to bear to look.

Xiu Yan, who was called "old man", was very vengeful. He glanced at Wu Bing, and in the other's expectant eyes, he snorted: "Don't consider it, I'm not interested."

Wu Bing's face fell immediately.

However, the development of the next thing was somewhat beyond Jiang Yiqing's expectations. He really didn't expect that a well-known director, after all, would sit on the ground and hug Xiu Yan's legs in order to let others participate in his play, crying: "Please consider it, please!"

Kong Banlian had a headache, and turned his head away, unable to bear to look, as if he didn't want to see more.

Jiang Yiqing: "..."

Seeing Xiu Yan's face was so gloomy that ink could drip from it, and the next moment his hand seemed to strangle Wu Bing to death, he quickly held down Xiu Yan's hand and saved his leg from Wu Bing.

After learning a lesson before, Xiu Yan, who was now always paying attention to regulating his body temperature, had warm hands at this time. Jiang Yiqing was afraid that he could not help but take action, so he kept holding his hand and did not let go.

This action greatly pleased Lord Ghost King. He originally had a gloomy face, but the corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly suppressed it.

Jiang Yiqing glanced at Wu Bing, who was carrying his new conjoined boyfriend, and privately told Kong Banlian: "... Director Wu is not possessed, he is just... under a lot of pressure."

Kong Banlian automatically understood what he meant, pressed his forehead tiredly, and nodded: "Oh, it's just that his head is sick."

Jiang Yiqing: "..." I didn't say that.

But maybe it's just that people who are engaged in art are a little "special".

"Thank you for coming over, I just hope he is not possessed or anything." Kong Banlian sighed, with a bit of worry between her eyebrows, and then changed the subject: "I will take him to the mental hospital someday."

Jiang Yiqing: "..."

Although Wu Bing may not look as normal as some patients in the mental hospital, it is likely to be a hot search if a well-known director goes to a mental hospital for treatment.

Jiang Yiqing thought that since he was already here, he might as well save him.

He thought for a moment and said, "I feel that Director Wu may just be under too much pressure, and he also suffers from insomnia and anxiety, so he is not in a good state. Maybe a good sleep will make him better."

Kong Banlian looked worried, but she said, "I think he did it himself, he deserves it."

After saying this, she looked a little stunned, pursed her lips, and asked again, "Will a good sleep really make him feel better? I feel like I need a good sleep too."

Jiang Yiqing noticed the change in Kong Banlian's expression, and thought that the other party was just a softie with a sharp tongue, so he said, "Let's try it."

He took some calming incense and said, "Just put it indoors and light it."

In fact, Jiang Yiqing could sing a song, and Wu Bing would definitely fall asleep in seconds, but he also wanted to save face. He couldn't bear to be stared at by several people singing out of tune.

Kong Banlian carefully took the calming incense and thanked him repeatedly, not caring that it was already a long time. She probably just wanted to calm the crazy Wu Bing down, so she immediately found a place to insert the calming incense.

Wu Bing was busy going crazy, and looked at Kong Banlian's movements, but didn't care much, and continued to cry and laugh.

Kong Banlian was about to ask if this really worked, after all, you have to lie down obediently to sleep, but Wu Bing was jumping up and down now.

Unexpectedly, Wu Bing couldn't help yawning after a while. At first he was trying to stay alert, but after a while he couldn't hold on anymore and lay down on the bed obediently to sleep.

Kong Banlian opened her mouth in surprise: "Wow... so magical."

Jiang Yiqing smiled and thought it was nothing, but Xiu Yan raised his chin with a smile.

"Then I'll take my leave. After Wu Dao wakes up, maybe it will be better." As for the rest, Jiang Yiqing felt that he could not help much.

If Wu Dao was really possessed by evil spirits, he could still do something, but the problem was that he was not possessed by evil spirits.

Kong Banlian nodded and stood up to see them out. She seemed to be hesitant to say something along the way until Jiang Yiqing was about to leave. She finally couldn't help but mutter, "Tsk, I don't think you have any real skills. The live broadcast is all scripted."

Jiang Yiqing: "???"

Xiu Yan stopped and squinted at Kong Banlian. The latter was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly shook his head to explain himself, "I... I didn't mean that. I didn't want to say that. I haven't had a good rest recently, and I always can't help saying some weird things. I really don't think so in my heart!"

Jiang Yiqing was not angry. He clearly felt that when Kong Banlian said those words before, her expression did not look like she would say those words.

At this time, he looked at Kong Banlian carefully and finally realized that something was wrong.

Before he could say anything, there was a sudden noise outside, and several women of similar age to Kong Banlian rushed in with a strong momentum, followed by the nanny who hurried in.

Kong Banlian was a little surprised. She obviously didn’t expect them to come. She motioned the nanny to leave first, then said with a smile: "Why are you here? I didn’t prepare. My family has been too busy recently and we haven’t had a good time together."

The woman in the lead looked familiar. She was Zhang Lili, the leading actress of a recent drama. She stared at Kong Banlian with big eyes, aggrieved and resentful: "Kong Banlian, I still regard you as my best friend. I didn’t expect that in your eyes, I am like this! Since you look down on me, why do you still want to be friends with me? You are noble, and I am not worthy of you, okay!"

Zhang Lili’s mouth was like a machine gun. She spoke without giving Kong Banlian a chance to speak. She continued: "It turns out that before, we only... It was my own will. I will never come to you again with a flattering face."

Kong Banlian was confused for a moment. When she came to her senses, she was about to step forward to stop Zhang Lili, but Mo Pingtong, who was also cold-faced beside Zhang Lili, spoke up and said in a sinister tone: "Ms. Kong also married the right person. He is superior to us. Unlike me, I can only marry a pig-head and stay at home to take care of my husband and children."

Kong Banlian's mind was in a mess. She subconsciously said: "Pingtong, why do you say that about yourself? Don't be like that."

Mo Pingtong was so angry that her mouth was crooked. She didn't care about the sinister tone: "How dare you say that? Didn't you say that to me before? You usually say nice things, but you actually say that to us in private. Lili and I are really blind!"

"No, I really didn't..." Kong Banlian was at a loss for a moment.

Zhang Lili, who had originally planned to leave after saying such harsh words, couldn't help but took out her phone and said, "You still don't admit that you were recorded when you were secretly talking about others. Take a good look at it!"

As she was talking, she clicked on a video, and saw that the protagonist was none other than Kong Banlian. She was talking to the person next to her: "Zhang Lili? Tsk, her acting skills haven't improved at all over the years. She's over 40 and still playing a teenage girl. It's too much to look at. I don't know how the male actor opposite her could bear to say that, hahaha.

And her brain, maybe she's become stupid from playing silly and innocent roles? She offends this and that all the time. Well, it was only when she first debuted that she reaped the dividends of the times and gained a legion of fans, which was enough for her to rely on for so many years. Otherwise, with her attitude, she would have been out of the entertainment industry long ago."

The person next to her didn't know what to say . What? Kong Banlian immediately covered her mouth and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, she looks good? Her face is full of technology. Look how stiff it is. She can't even make big expressions. People who don't know would think that artificial intelligence has taken over the earth!

She was so ugly before her debut! Really, really, and she even had buck teeth. She should thank her plastic surgeon back then. But ha, I think she must have become obsessed with plastic surgery because of this. Her face is getting more and more saggy. Oh, maybe it's because her face was plastic surgery, and it sagged later, so she had to repair it.

Ha, what kind of friend am I to her? I hate her so much. She always takes stupidity for granted. The entertainment industry is really... It is a very inclusive place. She can become popular here. If she changed her career, she would have starved to death long ago. Hahaha."

Kong Banlian in the video talked about Zhang Lili, but before she finished talking, she started talking about Mo Pingtong: "Hey, she is just a love-brained person. She actually believed her stupid husband's words. It would be good for her to be a star. At least she would not have to worry about food and clothing, right? Hahaha, guess what happened? She married a fake rich man. Before getting married, she thought she was a rich wife. After getting married, she found out that her husband was not as rich as her!

She is also quite amazing. For the sake of face, she actually admitted it. The grand banquet before was the hot search. Do you remember that one? Isn’t it? That one, she paid for it herself, saying that it was her fake rich husband who did it, just to show off!

But her pig-headed husband is not good to her! That small broken company has been taking advantage of her traffic, and it looks down on Mo Pingtong. I think Mo Pingtong has a problem with her brain, most likely she is crazy, otherwise normal people should not like pigs. I am not exaggerating, her husband really looks like a pig head, hahaha..."

Every time Kong Banlian said something in the video, Zhang Lili and Mo Pingtong's faces became a little uglier. Although they have already watched this video, it does not prevent them from being angry when they watch it again!

Because every word of Kong Banlian can be said to be dancing on their sore spots.

For example, Zhang Lili. People who are familiar with her know that she has always claimed to be a natural beauty. Even though many netizens have compared her photos from her early years, she has refused to admit it and said that she has grown up.

Once she sees someone mocking her for having plastic surgery online, or a rival buying a negative search to criticize her appearance, she will definitely be defeated.

Another weak point is her acting skills. When a person has nothing, he or she likes to emphasize something. Since Zhang Lili started filming, she has bought thousands of acting-related searches, but except for being praised for her charisma in the early days, she has never been praised for her acting skills. She has been able to continue to have roles to film for so many years, and it is indeed because of her past achievements.

The actors who filmed idol dramas with her back then have now become powerful in the industry and have won many awards, while she has been in idol dramas for more than ten years. However, her face is getting more and more saggy and stiff, like a technician. As we all know, the heroines of idol dramas are usually in their teens or early twenties, and her face is really not convincing.

For this reason, she is often ridiculed by the crowd.

Moreover, she has no brains, and often the words are blurted out by her anxious mouth before they pass through her brain. This has offended many people and created countless famous scenes that are still edited by major marketing accounts. Some

people used to call her "stupid beauty", but now they just say she is stupid.

It's fine that she was poked in the sore spot by black fans online, but in real life, her best friend also secretly said so about her. How could Zhang Lili not be broken!

And there is Mo Pingtong. Her original intention of entering the entertainment industry was to marry into a wealthy family through the identity of a star. This was her ultimate dream.

Because many wealthy people liked to marry stars at that time, she was lucky and became famous after filming a few dramas. Later, she was pursued by her current husband. Even though she passed, she did not forget her original intention and married her current husband at the risk of losing a large number of fans.

As a result, after getting married, she found out that this husband was a fake wealthy family. The Maybach he married was rented, the pigeon egg was fake, and the liquid funds were only tens of millions, not as rich as her!

Mo Pingtong was devastated for quite a while and even nearly divorced, but she later endured it for the sake of face. She finally married into a wealthy family. If people knew that she married a fake wealthy family, then her behavior of giving up her career would be too ridiculous, and she would definitely be laughed to death!

In this way, Mo Pingtong not only did not expose her husband's fake wealthy family, but also paid out of her own pocket to help him cover up. At the beginning, relying on her superb acting skills and her husband's cooperation, she was envied by the whole network for marrying a domineering president and marrying for love.

But after a long time, someone still dug up the real situation of her husband's family, and also dug up the black materials of her husband in his early years, and her husband touched the buttocks of other little internet celebrities, and the obscene behavior rushed to the screen.

Mo Pingtong also went from being envied by the entire network to being ridiculed by the crowd. Some people even said that "there are only two kinds of people sleeping in the same quilt." Not only did she not receive sympathy, but she was ridiculed more.

This incident has always been a pain in her heart!

Kong Banlian watched the video with a pale face, and moved her mouth, wanting to explain: "I..."

"The video is so clear, you don't want to say it's fake, do you?" Zhang Lili felt that although she was a little stupid, she was not stupid enough to believe such words.

She was very angry, but because her face was full of technology, her face still had no expression, and with her eyes, she looked a little penetrating.

"I... I don't know why I said such a thing." Kong Banlian felt very uncomfortable. She didn't think so at all. "I don't know what happened to me recently. It may be that I haven't had a good rest for a long time. I often can't control myself and say things I don't want to say. I swear, I really didn't think so!"

Mo Pingtong: "Kong Banlian, do you really think we are stupid? For the sake of our relationship for so many years, I don't want to send the video. You can do whatever you want! If you let me... Seeing you talking about us behind our backs, I posted the video online so your fans can see what kind of person you really are!"

Kong Banlian looked aggrieved. Although she was already over 40 years old, she was well-maintained. When she cried, she looked pitiful. Unexpectedly, she suddenly spoke, quite provocative: "Tell it to others, do you really think I'm afraid of you? Be careful or I'll tell others about you biting a dog's butt when you were drunk~"

Mo Pingtong: "???" Ahhh! I'll kill you, Kong Banlian!
