The atmosphere on the set was very good during the filming of Black and White. Zhou Yanqing, Yan Sheng, Fang Ruoti and other big names are well-known in the circle for their good personalities, good tempers and kindness to others. Especially after Yan Sheng broke up with Shen Yu, his thinking logic returned to normal. He has been in the circle for so many years and has good personal relationships with all the big names. Now that he has left Chinese entertainment and moved to Hollywood, everyone is curious about how Yan Sheng is doing in Country M. Although Wang Jinsheng and Luo Daming have difficult tempers, they will not act like big shots in front of friends of the same status in the circle. As for Tao Mu himself, needless to say, his style of being good at dancing and making good friends has long been known outside the circle.
So when a group of people sit together, they actually have a lot to talk about. In particular, we need to communicate about the reshoot issues of the mainland remake. However, because Shen Yu was also present, everyone's conversation was more restrained. The dinner party ended hastily before eight o'clock.
All the big names felt that they didn’t have enough fun. He wanted to set up another party, but he couldn't show it in front of Shen Yu and the newcomer Gu Yuzhang. They had no choice but to wink at each other.
Shen Yu noticed everyone's reactions and couldn't help feeling a little sad. He has been in Xiangcheng for several months. With the Lin family's support behind the scenes, there is no doubt about the resources. But Shen Yu always felt that he had no way to fit in here. Moreover, many Hong Kong artists were very unfriendly towards him.
Director Xu organized a dinner party this time, but he was not invited. But Shen Yu felt that he was also a member of the "Black and White" crew. With the full support of the Lin family, we will also participate in the promotional activities of "Black and White" during its release in Hong Kong. If he doesn't show up at Director Xu's dinner party, people will not say Director Xu didn't invite him, but will just talk about Shen Yu being a big shot.
So Shen Yu came uninvited.
Unfortunately, after the dinner, Shen Yu was ignored. Several big shots didn't want to pay attention to him, and even Yan Sheng, who had always been obedient and caring towards him, didn't want to even look at him. And Tao Mu also brought the substitute with him. The existence of Gu Yuzhang made Shen Yu even more embarrassed.
Shen Yu didn't understand why these people were targeting him. No one knows why Yan Sheng ran to Country M without saying a word after holding the press conference. He obviously acknowledged their relationship, didn't he?
Shen Yu came to the dinner this time, actually wanting to save this relationship. So even though Yan Sheng was cold towards him, Shen Yu still wanted to give it a try. At least he wanted to find out why Yan Sheng suddenly became so cold. So after the dinner, he quietly followed Yan Sheng to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, Yan Sheng met Tao Mu who had just come out of the bathroom. He also stopped Tao Mu.
"I just noticed that Shen Yu looked strange..." Yan Sheng paused, but still told everything he had observed. He also said that he had sent a text message to his assistant, asking him to find a way to get the chopsticks back. Yan Sheng intends to show his kindness to Tao Mu. Moreover, after experiencing the "Cao Miao revelations" incident, Yan Sheng was really wary of Shen Yu. Although his relationship with Tao Mu was not very good, Yan Sheng did not want to see Tao Mu end up like him.
Yan Sheng knew that Tao Mu was also gay, and was dating Mr. Li from Xiaoheng Capital. Although the mainland has passed the Same-Sex Marriage Law, the public's acceptance of homosexuality is not high. Tao Mu is currently working with the military to film a conscription propaganda drama. If a sexual orientation scandal breaks out at this juncture, it may affect Tao Mu's acting career.
Yan Sheng felt that Tao Mu, like himself, was a person who truly loved acting. He didn't want Tao Mu to repeat the same mistake, so he hesitantly warned Tao Mu to be cautious: "Do you feel uncomfortable? Did you bring an assistant and a bodyguard with you to Xiangcheng this time? If you are fine, it would be better to go back to the hotel and rest early at night."
Yan Sheng was worried that Shen Yu had drugged Tao Mu. After all, Shen Yu is now hanging out with the Lin family. That bastard Lin Rongan loves to drug people. Yan Sheng was afraid that Shen Yu would be corrupted by bad company, so he deliberately drugged Tao Mu to create a romantic scandal. By then, not only will it be confirmed to the media that Tao Mu is gay, but it will also be possible to sow discord between Tao Mu and President Li. Kill two birds with one stone.
Shen Yu, who was hiding in the dark corner, couldn't bear it anymore, and walked out to question Yan Sheng: "Brother Yan, why am I such a vicious person in your heart? Why do you have such an idea? Why do you think I would harm Tao Mu?"
Yan Sheng turned around and looked at Shen Yu who appeared behind him at some point with some surprise: "You followed me?"
Seeing the flash of vigilance on Yan Sheng's face, Shen Yu became even sadder. He turned his head to look at Tao Mu, and asked heartbrokenly: "Tao Mu, what kind of ecstasy did you give Brother Yan? Why does Brother Yan think I want to hurt you? Why does everyone like you? How am I worse than you? Why do everyone hate me so much? "
Hearing Shen Yu's question, Tao Mu's heart remained calm and he even wanted to laugh. He also wanted to know why! Why did everyone like Shen Yu in the previous life? Why is everyone on Shen Yu's side? Why does everyone think that Shen Yu is always wrong when he is right?
Tao Mu thought of Shen Yu's high-sounding response when he questioned him in his previous life. I couldn't help but smile and said, "Shouldn't you ask yourself this? Shen Yu, if one person hates you and thinks you are wrong, maybe that person has a problem. But if the whole world hates you and thinks you are wrong, then that's your own problem."
Shen Yu sneered, "Quibbling. It's obviously because you are richer, more powerful and more authoritative. Those people stand on your side not because of justice, but because of interests. Just because I am not as useful as you, those people are trying to curry favor with me. They know I am innocent, but they still hurt me to please you."
Shen Yu's face was filled with cynical sadness. At this moment, he felt that he had seen the whole world clearly, but also been betrayed by the whole world. His eyes, as clear as autumn water, stared coldly at Tao Mu and Yan Sheng who was standing beside Tao Mu. Even though his heart was broken, he still forced himself to keep his back straight, like a white lotus standing in the wind amidst a storm.
Tao Mu looked at Shen Yu with slight surprise. He always thought that Shen Yu had something wrong with his brain, but he didn't expect that Shen Yu could see things more clearly than he did. It took Tao Mu two lifetimes and one death to understand this truth. But I didn't expect that Shen Yu would see clearly in just a few months.
"You're not stupid." Thinking of the innocence and purity that Shen Yu had maintained until his death in his previous life, Tao Mu laughed in silence. If Shen Yuzhen is such an understanding person. Then it was not unfair that he lost in his previous life.
"I'm not stupid. I just don't want to believe that this world is really so dark." Back then, Shen Yu was a naive little prince who was ignorant of the world. Live in the cloud and enjoy all the love. Even though he knew that some people had ill intentions, he was unwilling to care. However, Shen Yu felt that his kindness and sincerity towards the world did not get the world's embrace in return. Abandoned by his family, betrayed by his lover, treated coldly by the world, his crystal clear soul had already been shattered by the cruel reality. He is now covered with wounds. Have to wake up from the fairy tale world.
He was only nineteen years old, but he was forced to grow up. From then on, I faced the cruel reality.
"Listen carefully. From today on, I will never believe in the hypocritical lies of the world again. I will prove to the whole world that I am right. I will try my best to get back what I lost." Shen Yu looked at Tao Mu and Yan Sheng coldly and declared war on them: "I will no longer let you hurt me without fighting back. Tao Mu, Yan Sheng, I will get back what you owe me one by one."
After Shen Yu made these harsh remarks, he turned around and left resolutely.
Yan Sheng almost laughed out of anger when he heard Shen Yu's cruel words that confused right and wrong. "He still doesn't know where he went wrong. What have I done to him? He wants to take revenge on me..."
Yan Sheng's mood at this moment couldn't even be described as "fuck off". Even if he raises a dog, he has invested so much emotion and energy in it, and the dog still knows to wag its tail at him and be loyal. What is Shen Yu doing? Yan Sheng is just like a farmer who picks up a poisonous snake and holds it in his arms as a treasure. After finally warming the snake up, it turned around and bit him. Now he still feels dissatisfied with just one bite and wants to bite him to death!
Yan Sheng covered his chest with his hands, he was so depressed that he felt like he was going to have a myocardial infarction!
Tao Mu, who had long been familiar with Shen Yu's character, was not surprised. Ever since his previous life, the Shen Yu he knew never felt that he had done anything wrong. After all, Shen Yu is the male protagonist. How could a male protagonist do something wrong? Even if there is a mistake, it must be someone else's fault. After all, according to the logic of the original book, anyone who doesn't make the male protagonist happy is a bad guy. Now that Shen Yu is living such a miserable life, it must be the whole world's fault.
Tao Mu was not surprised by Shen Yu's logic. He was just curious. Even if Shen Yu turned evil, with his intelligence, what would he do to take revenge on him?
Thinking of what Yan Sheng reminded him of, Tao Mu felt that with Shen Yu's intelligence, he would probably rack his brains to figure out something about his background and sexual orientation.
Tao Mu is not worried about his sexual orientation. Although he never concealed his relationship with Li Xiaoheng, he also never made any intimate moves in public. Even if Shen Yu sent someone to follow him and tip off the entertainment paparazzi, I believe no newspaper would dare to risk angering the Li family and Feixun.com by exposing his privacy. As for his background...
Tao Mu thought of Shen Yu's panic at the dinner table when he knocked down his chopsticks and asked the waiter to take them away. Did that little idiot think he could extract his DNA from the saliva on the chopsticks?
Tao Mu rubbed his chin. Returned to the hotel thoughtfully. He called his assistant and gave him a few detailed instructions.
The next day was Christmas Eve, and it was also the premiere of "Black and White" at the Hong Kong Grand Theater. According to the producers, they hope that several leading actors can change into their movie costumes and walk the red carpet and attend the premiere. It can also be considered as promotion for the movie. However, when Director Xu was communicating this matter with everyone, he specifically explained that this was all the Lin family's idea.
The Lin family is a wealthy family in Hong Kong and is also one of the investors of this movie. Although Lin Rong'an became a eunuch, he was still a member of the Lin family. The Lin family was also very kind to Director Xu. Since it was just a small request, and it was also for the sake of film promotion, Xu Musen certainly would not object.
However, the costumes used for filming have become dirty due to long-term wear and tear. Lin Rongan made this request suddenly and the crew had no time to prepare. Fortunately, Lin Rongan was very considerate and helped everyone to re-customize the costumes. All the big names needed to go to the Xiangcheng Grand Theater to do their makeup and styling.
Although it was a bit troublesome, the bigwigs didn't want to get into a fight with the Lin family over such a small matter. I can only come here early to prepare for makeup and styling.
Tao Mu, who had been prepared for this move, arrived at the theater with his assistant and bodyguard without saying a word. It was just that while doing the hairstyle, the stylist accidentally broke the wooden comb.
"I'm so sorry." The stylist said apologetically, "How could this happen? Mr. Tao, are you okay? Did it hurt you?"
"It's okay." Tao Mu said softly, "It's just a wooden comb."
The stylist is the stylist of the "Black and White" crew. I've done styling for Tao Mu before, and I know that Tao Mu has a good temper. I'm not really worried. Immediately search for other wooden combs in the makeup box. The result was strange. Usually he would put a few wooden combs in his makeup box, but today there was not a single one.
As the time to walk the red carpet approached, the stylist suddenly became a little anxious.
Tao Mu comforted him gently, "Don't worry. If there is really nothing, go to another room and borrow one."
"But..." The stylist looked at Tao Mu with embarrassment. Everyone in the crew knew that Tao Mu was a bit of a germaphobe. Things that can be avoided should never be shared with others. Especially makeup tools and wooden combs, which are close-fitting items.
"It's okay." Tao Mu smiled and motioned for his assistant to borrow one from another dressing room.
After a while, the assistant came back with a wooden comb. There are a few strands of other people's hair on it. The assistant cleaned it up and placed it on the dressing table. Also disinfect the wooden comb.
Five minutes passed during this ordeal. The stylist quickly did Tao Mu's hair. After using the wooden comb, Tao Mu asked his assistant to clean it and put it back. Only a few strands of hair were left on the dressing table.
Seeing this, the stylist smiled and said, "Boss Tao is really thoughtful."
Tao Mu smiled slightly. Get up and walk out of the dressing room. When passing by the backstage, there was a "pop" sound. Shen Yu said with a cold face: "If you can't speak, don't speak. No one thinks you are dumb."
There was silence backstage. All the big names were sitting in their seats playing with their phones. Only Shen Yu and a girl with long flowing hair and wearing a white lace dress stood in the middle and confronted each other. Tao Mu noticed that the girl was the artist who played Zhou Yuanting's girlfriend and Yan Yu's wife in the play.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!" A solitary round of applause came from the corner. Lin Rongan, wearing a pink suit, walked out from the shadows. He walked to stand beside Shen Yu, smiled gently and said, "Be gentle when you hit someone, be careful not to hurt your hands."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Rong'an looked at Tao Mu with a smile again. Ever since he lost his third leg, Lin Rong'an's voice has changed. He used to be warm and cheerful, but now he is a little gentle and sharp. Her appearance is also much more feminine than before. Dressing has also become more refined.
Lin Rongan looked at Tao Mu, whose appearance became more handsome and temperament more fierce, with mixed feelings. I don’t know whether I should hate you or continue to like you. No one knew that the reason why Lin Rong'an went to Yanjing to manage the Lin family's business was actually because of Tao Mu. Ever since he met Tao Mu on the set that day, Lin Rong'an couldn't forget him. So he tried every means to persuade Mrs. Lin to let him take charge of the Lin family's business in Yanjing. It's also for the sake of proximity. But he didn't expect that just because he flirted with wild flowers when he was bored, he would lose his third leg because of the wild flowers.
Speaking of hatred, Lin Rongan of course hated Shen Yu, the culprit, more. But Madam Lin did not allow him to retaliate against Shen Yu. Instead, he hinted that Lin Rongan should try to please Shen Yu in every way. Because Old Madam Lin felt that the Shen family still cared very much about their adopted son Shen Yu. The Shen family has great influence in Shanghai. Although the Lin family lived in a remote corner of Hong Kong, they actually had plans to expand into the inland areas a long time ago.
It’s a pity that in recent years, competition in the mainland market has also been fierce. Foreign companies, joint ventures and local companies are competing against each other for market share. Compared with the strong capital of foreign companies and the powerful network background of local companies, although the Lin family is a family in Hong Kong, it does not have an advantage in these two aspects. Therefore, if the Lin family wants to gain a foothold in the mainland and expand its market share, it must find a qualified ally.
The first thing the Lin family took a fancy to was actually the Li family and Tao Mu's Feixun Network. However, President Li and President Tao were not interested in the Lin family and had never accepted the olive branch extended by the Lin family. Even when Lin Rong'an went to Yanjing later, he failed to successfully connect with Tao Mu. On the contrary, because of Shen Yu, he lost his dignity as a man.
Lin Rongan felt that he was extremely unlucky. The Lin family, however, felt that misfortunes often bring blessings. Relying on the fact that Shen Yu was the culprit, Mrs. Lin went directly to Shanghai to communicate with the Shen father and son. On the one hand, he hinted that he liked Shen Yu very much and wanted Shen Yu to be his granddaughter-in-law, and on the other hand, he hinted that the Lin family was interested in forming a business alliance with the Shen family. The two powerful companies join forces to jointly seize market share.
At that time, the Shen family was being suppressed by the Yan family and was feeling a bit suffocated. At the critical moment, it was Shen Yan's boyfriend Zhuo Yan who took the initiative to step forward and help the Shen family come up with two strategies, allowing the Shen family to climb up to the Yan family's competitors. Finally stabilized the downward trend. The Shen family father and son were very satisfied with Zhuo Yan, and arranged for Zhuo Yan to work in the Shen Group, in charge of the marketing department.
Just at this time, the Shen family took the initiative to take over Shen Yu. In addition to allowing the Shen family to once again see the value of Shen Yu, it also gave the Yan family hope that Yan Sheng would break off his ties with Shen Yu. So, with an unspoken understanding, the Yan family, which was almost in a difficult situation, withdrew its intention to suppress the Shen family. The Shen family took the opportunity to send Shen Yu to Xiangcheng. And he was thinking about how to use this marriage to seize the Lin family's assets.
Coincidentally, the Lin family thought so too.
As two key chess pieces in this marriage. Of course, Lin Rongan could not show any dissatisfaction towards Shen Yu, so as not to arouse the Shen family's vigilance. However, how could Lin Rongan swallow his anger after suffering such an unexpected disaster? He still treated Shen Yu as his treasure. So under Lin Rong'an's suggestion, many people were secretly making things difficult for Shen Yu. But Shen Yu didn't know.
In Shen Yu's opinion, because of the ban on optical electronics, not many people knew that Lin Rongan took him to the entertainment club and drugged him. At the beginning, the media was crazy about the news that Lin Rong'an and Luoyang, the two playboys, fought each other because of jealousy, and one of them broke a leg and the other broke his third leg.
But Shen Yu didn't think that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and people in the circle are well-informed, so they naturally know everything they should know. The Lin family has always been domineering and tough in Xiangcheng. Relying on the power of the Lin family, Lin Rongan has harmed many young men and women before. However, because the Lin family is omnipotent in Xiangcheng, even if someone calls the police, there is no way to seek justice for him. Instead, this "unwise" behavior would anger the Lin family and even force them to leave Xiangcheng.
When the news that Lin Rongan had his third leg broken because of jealousy came out, all those who had been bullied by Lin Rongan applauded. There were also some people who knew the inside story who sympathized with Shen Yu and felt lucky for him. After all, Shen Yu was rescued by Luo Yang at that critical moment, so he can be regarded as a hero saving a beauty and preserving his innocence. Some people also speculated whether Shen Yu would break up with Yan Sheng because of this incident and turn to Luo Yang.
However, what no one expected was that Shen Yu finally chose to sign with Lin's Film and Television Company, and was brought to Xiangcheng by Old Madam Lin, and now lives in the Lin family mansion. After that, he became inseparable from Lin Rongan. Even with the support of the Lin family, they snatched away resources from other artists. Suddenly, he went from being a victim to a beneficiary. Such a development immediately made some people who felt sorry for Shen Yu feel sick. It also made those who had been hurt by Lin Rongan feel that fate was unfair.
Lin Rong'an, as the third son of the Lin family, relies on his family background to do all kinds of evil and calls himself a romantic, calling himself the Flower City Hunter. The prey he set his eyes on were all in good condition. Apart from the initial group of classmates, the rest of the prey who were able to come into contact with Lin Rongan were mostly artists or models. The Hong Kong entertainment industry is small, and many people have more or less opportunities to meet or collaborate. In addition, Lin Rong'an was not picky about meat or vegetables, and did not avoid the principle of "a rabbit does not eat grass near its burrow", and he often attacked the artists of Lin's film and television company. In other words, even in the same company, there are many men and women who have been harmed by Lin Rongan.
——Due to the influence of the Lin family in Xiangcheng, these people did not dare to retaliate against Lin Rongan, and even had to work hard to please him. However, others were not so polite to Shen Yu, who had the same experience as them but was much luckier than them, and even moved into the Lin family because of the favor of Old Madam Lin.
Due to the power of the Lin family, these people didn't dare to bully Shen Yu openly, but it was very easy for them to secretly use tricks and do bad things to trip up Shen Yu during work. After all, Shen Yu’s reputation for poor acting skills and inability to endure hardship has long been known. Be as perfunctory as possible at work and stay away from it outside of work. Will say bad things about him behind his back. On several occasions, when Shen Yu was hiding in the bathroom, he could hear the company's artists discussing his shamelessness.
What Lin Rongan hates most is Shen Yuming's behavior of being clearly not kind but deceiving himself into thinking he is very kind. Lin Rongan would rather see Shen Yu being bad in the open than seeing Shen Yu being bad without knowing it. Lin Rongan was even more curious about what Shen Yu would become if he really put aside his disguise and clearly realized his true nature.
So under Lin Rongan's deliberate training and guidance, Shen Yu, who was always bullied, lived up to everyone's expectations and turned evil.
The idea of helping Tao Mu find his biological parents was proposed by Shen Yu himself. Shen Yu felt that everyone in the world was deceived by Tao Mu's appearance, so they thought Tao Mu was good in every way. However, Tao Mu is essentially a cold-hearted person. So I want to help Tao Mu find his biological parents. Let's see what Tao Mu's face would be like when he faced his biological parents.
But Lin Rong'an had no hope for this matter. First of all, the gene bank of lost children set up by the Shen family actually has more effect of publicity and hype than actual use. Anyway, in the past one or two years, there have been very few cases of children being found through the lost children gene bank. And even if Tao Mu found his biological parents, his biological parents might not necessarily be the inferior people with no money, no power and excessive greed——
Others might not have noticed, but Lin Rongan did not forget that Tao Mu looked so similar to the Shen family. Although I can't be sure, if the DNA test is done, Tao Mu, who is against Shen Yu in every way and is better than Shen Yu in every way, is the child of the Shen family. Moreover, this truth was discovered by Shen Yu himself, who treated the Shen family as his own family...
That would be even more interesting.
Lin Rongan was not worried at all that his actions would ruin the Lin family's plan to take over the Shen family. He has become a eunuch now. Without offspring, he is destined not to inherit the Lin family. Then why should he sacrifice himself for the future of the Lin family?
It's better to live a willful life - deep down in Lin Rong'an's heart, he always felt that it was because of Tao Mu that he encountered that kind of thing and became like this. So he couldn't stand Tao Mu's smooth climb up. I have to do something to cause trouble for Tao Mu.
As long as Tao Mu is unhappy, he will be happy.
