Chapter 7 A Lifetime of Shadows



Yulan Film and Television Company.

"What's going on online? Did you hire someone to do this?"

Yu Zheng came back from outside, threw the leather jacket on his arm onto the sofa, and sat down next to Fu Lanchen.

The latter leaned over and poured him a cup of tea. Yu Zheng was flattered and quickly took it, while not forgetting to say repeatedly: "My brother, I will do it myself."

Fu Lanchen glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said, "Wang Mingyue is a little confused about her position."

Yu Zheng was stunned, embarrassment written on his face, "She, she is not with you..."

Fu Lanchen was about to light a cigarette when he suddenly stopped and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How could I fall for a female star?"

Seeing that he was arrogant, Yu Zheng did not point it out.

After taking a sip of tea, he turned and asked, "Why did Miss Lin debut abroad? Did she study acting before?"

I know about those three years with Fu Lanchen, so I’m quite curious now.

Fu Lanchen's face looked a little ugly for a moment.

He didn't respond, so Yu Zheng continued, "She and Wang Mingyue are having some problems. It's probably because of you. There's a lot of bad talk online right now..."

Having said that, he opened Weibo and handed it to Fu Lanchen.

He didn't seem to want to look, and even the glance he took seemed nonchalant.

Yu Zheng felt helpless and had to take it back and read it himself.

"They say she slept with an investor in exchange for the female lead in the TV series 'Jun Wan Yue', and even outplayed the male lead."

Fu Lanchen lowered his eyes, but his brows were twisted into a knot at this moment.

A cigarette was held between his slender fingers, but he had not yet lit it.

Yu Zheng scrolled down to read the comments: "Auntie, poof!"

Fu Lanchen couldn't listen any longer, so he reached out and snatched his phone away. He frowned and swiped the screen a few times before turning it off and throwing it on the coffee table in front of him. He said suddenly, "I'm free."

Yu Zheng lowered his chin, picked up his teacup and stood up. "You and Miss Lin didn't break up because of the marriage, did you?"

"Pah~"

Fu Lanchen lit a cigarette and took a puff, with gray-white smoke curling around him. "Even if it's not a marriage, we won't be together for too long."

"I just got tired of it after all. Originally, I thought Miss Lin would be Nan Zhi's shadow for the rest of her life, but it seems I was overthinking it."

The joking remark drew an unfriendly look from Fu Lanchen.

Yu Zheng leaned over to put down the teacup, put one hand in his pocket and went to the desk.

Fu Lanchen withdrew his gaze, looked at the scenery outside the window, and smoked silently.

After a brief silence, Yu Zheng asked again: "Miss Lin, what are you going to do now that you're back this time?"

Fu Lanchen turned his head away for a long time, leaned over and extinguished his cigarette, but did not respond.

Yu Zheng followed nonchalantly: "I see you haven't let it go, otherwise why are you so close to Wang Mingyue."

"When did you become so gossipy?"

Finally, Fu Lanchen spoke coldly.

Yu Zheng leaned back in his chair, curling his lips in a wicked smile, "I got it right. Lan Chen, you're just saying one thing and thinking another. It's no big deal, if you like her, go after her. She's not the same as she was before, now that she's in the entertainment industry, her status has dropped a level, why wouldn't you just go to bed with me?"

"I'm not as horny as you think. I'm not short of women."

Fu Lanchen couldn't stay any longer and stood up to leave.

Yu Zheng smiled even more, "Goodbye."

When he reached the door, Fu Lanchen turned around and looked at him again, his face gloomy, "Tell Wang Mingyue that you haven't learned your acting skills well, so stop getting involved in those dirty things."

Yu Zheng made two "tsk tsk" sounds and he had already left the office.

Lin Zhi doesn't check Weibo. Apart from filming, he stays in the RV to rest.

She actually didn't care about the chaotic atmosphere in the domestic entertainment industry. She lived a quiet life during those years in Country M. But before that, she had some understanding of the plight of her seniors who had entered the acting industry at the dance academy.

Actors need traffic to become well-known, and this means they must endure all sorts of shady tactics from their competitors. Those who can handle this can maintain their popularity, but those who can't will face the immense psychological pressure and gradually develop depression, forcing them to quit the entertainment industry and become unknown figures.

"Sister Andy, I brought you coffee."

Tu Yuanyuan entered the RV. She was leaning on the sofa, holding the script and thinking about the character.

Lin Zhi stretched out his hand, and a mobile phone with a box fell into his palm.

She turned her head, somewhat puzzled.

Tu Yuanyuan was embarrassed, "Sister Andy, this phone is quite expensive, I can't accept it."

"I'm giving it to you."

Lin Zhi insisted, put down the phone and took the coffee.

Tu Yuanyuan bit her lip, thought about it, and then put it back silently.

Soon, David arrived.

The RV is quite big, but it still seems a bit cramped for three people.

Tu Yuanyuan got out of the RV on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

After she left, David sat down next to Lin Zhi. "The public relations department collected several marketing accounts and filed a lawsuit. One of them is a fan of Yue Xiuran."

Yue Xiu Ran is the leading male role in "Jun Wan Yue". He has played the leading male role in movies and web dramas, and has also won awards in other areas.

Lin Zhi looked up from the script, and said calmly, "Maybe it's because I suppressed her idol's ranking."

"How can a movie with so many episodes compare to you?"

"I'm also N fan."

“It’s not on the same level.”

David was quite proud.

Lin Zhi didn't argue with him, put down the script and picked up his cell phone instead.

"You decide. If you win the case, you might even get some money."

"This Wang Mingyue is too arrogant. She only relies on her financial sponsor."

Speaking of this, David turned sideways and squinted at her, "What did you do with Fu Lanchen that night that made him let go of the leading female role?"

Lin Zhi said frankly, "He must be feeling guilty."

"Guilty?"

David smelled a hint of gossip.

"You didn't want to stay in the hotel because of him, so did you know each other before?"
