Shen Yu hasn't had an easy time lately.
Ever since his life experience was exposed and he was driven out of the Shen family mansion by Mrs. Shen. Although his father and elder brother had no intention of severing ties with him, and his sister often came to visit him, Shen Yu was still keenly aware of the changes in the people around him.
First of all, there were his classmates who studied with him. They always came whenever he called and listened to him. But now, whenever Shen Yu felt upset and wanted to talk to someone, everyone was always very busy. Some people work, some people study, and it seems that everyone is busy every day, which makes him look particularly idle.
He felt very sad and wronged that his mother kicked him out of the house - was it possible that just because he was not a member of the Shen family, his mother really didn't want the 19 years of love anymore? But what did he do wrong? What happened at the beginning was simply an accident, no one thought it would turn out like this. But mom thinks it's all his fault. It was he who usurped the life of the young master of the Shen family.
But he obviously didn't want to. He also hopes that the Shen family can find the real Shen Yu as soon as possible. The whole family will be reunited then. He hopes to be with his family at this time and help everyone get through this difficult time. However, his mother never gave him this opportunity.
He couldn't figure it out, so he had to talk to his classmates. His good friends understand him very well. I know he can't bear to leave his family. But there are still many classmates who not only do not understand him, but also make sarcastic remarks everywhere.
"The Shen family has been very good to you. You are an outsider who has no relationship with the Shen family. Even if your background is exposed, the Shen family is willing to spend money to support you. I heard that Chairman Shen even registered a luxurious three-bedroom apartment in the Bund in your name. Do you know how much a house of nearly 200 square meters in the Bund is worth? We can't buy a luxury house in our lifetime. You are just a fake young master who has taken over the nest. The Shen family did not pursue your responsibility and settled you well. It can be said that they have done their best. Do you really think that you can stay in the Shen family for the rest of your life and wait for Chairman Shen to inherit the Shen family's business a hundred years later?"
But he didn't think so.
Shen Yu made a particularly sad excuse. He just didn't want to leave the home where he had lived for 19 years, and didn't want to leave his family who had been so good to him. He never thought about inheriting the Shen family's business. Even before his background was exposed, he had never thought about such a thing.
Shen Yu's friends naturally knew that he was innocent and kind, and had no ulterior motives. But more people don't understand him. They had long been jealous of Shen Yu's family background, but before, due to the power of the Shen family, those people did not dare to do anything. He could only try to curry favor with Shen Yu. Now Shen Yu's life experience has been exposed - it turns out that the once high and mighty little prince was not a prince of pure blood, but was just lucky enough to be mixed up with the rest.
He has been pampered for nineteen years, but it is obvious that he is not a child of the Shen family. However, because the Shen family is wealthy, kind-hearted and loyal, even if they are driven out, they can be arranged clearly. Think about it again, the Shen family also opened a film and television company for Shen Yu. Over the past year, he has invested in filming and promoted Shen Yu as the male lead, ensuring that even if Shen Yu leaves the Shen family, he can continue to live a glorious life by acting.
But what about them! Just because of my mediocre family background. I have studied hard for so many years just to be able to work in a big company like Shen Group after graduation. One has to work hard to earn thousands or tens of thousands of yuan a month and live frugally for many years to save enough for the down payment on a small apartment in the Shanghai suburbs. I may have to pay off the mortgage for another 20 or 30 years.
——What others have casually, they may not be able to obtain even if they work hard for their entire lives. The key point is that Shen Yu still feels dissatisfied and feels wronged. Damn, you're not feeling wronged at all! Do you really think of yourself as a member of the Shen family?
He is not destined to be a prince, but instead suffers from prince syndrome.
Around Shen Yu, there are as many people who truly support and love him as there are people who hate him from the bottom of their hearts. However, due to the power of the Shen family, those people did not dare to add insult to injury. Instead, they tried their best to curry favor with Shen Yu. But now Shen Yu is no longer the little prince of the Shen family. Although they dare not do anything too excessive, rumors are inevitable.
"I really don't know whether you are reluctant to leave the Shen family or you are reluctant to save the Shen family's money?"
"If it were me, I would be reluctant to do so. It was so nice to be the young master of the Shen family. Everyone flattered and coaxed me, and I could force others to apologize if I was not satisfied. Now that the prince has become a frog, the gap in life is too big, I am sure I can't bear it."
"If you really value affection, why don't you go back to your biological father's home? Could it be that you only care about your adoptive parents and don't care about your biological parents?"
"You can't say that. After all, the Shen family can't be compared with the Tan family."
The Shen family is a wealthy family in Shanghai. Although the Tan family had some assets, they had fallen into decline over the years. Compared with the Shen family, they are just middle class. I'm afraid he doesn't even have the ability to buy Shen Yu a luxury house on the Bund. Therefore, the relationship between biological parents and stepmother is naturally not as good as that between adoptive parents.
Many people make malicious speculations about you in person and behind your back. But he didn't know that Shen Yu was also feeling aggrieved about this matter. After he learned about his life experience, he secretly went to find Mr. Tan. At that time, Shen Yan had not yet revealed that she had secretly swapped children. Everyone thought that Shen Yu, the surrogate mother, had a vicious heart and replaced the child. The Tan family thought so too. Because she was afraid of retaliation from the Shen family, she refused to accept Shen Yu as a surrogate child. The younger brother of the Tan family, who was only a few months younger than Shen Yu, was a die-hard fan of Tao Mu and disliked Shen Yu in every way.
Shen Yu stayed at the Tan family for less than an hour and didn't even have lunch before he was chased away by his half-brother. When he left, Mr. Tan handed him a bank card with one million yuan in it and begged Shen Yu not to bother their family, so as to avoid the Shen family's anger on the Tan family.
Compared with the wealthy Shen family, the current Tan family is just a well-off family. I really can't afford to go through so much trouble. This one million is the only thing Mr. Tan can use to compensate Shen Yu - he is Shen Yu's biological father, but he is also the pillar of the Tan family. Shen Yu is already nineteen years old. He has never lived with the Tan family before and hopes that he will not have the opportunity to live with them again in the future. Although one million is not a lot, it was enough for the down payment on a two-bedroom apartment in Shanghai in 2009.
How many parents cannot afford to buy a house in first-tier cities after their children go to college. Shen Yu and the Tan family had never gotten along with each other, but just because of their blood relationship, the Tan family was willing to give Shen Yu one million. Mr. and Mrs. Tan both believe that they have done their best.
However, this kind of fighting style, which poor relatives usually avoid as much as possible, completely hurt Shen Yu.
Shen Yu grew up in the Shen family. He has been pampered for so many years. Although he has a soft personality, he is actually very proud in his bones. He went to the Tan family just because he was curious about what kind of person his biological father was. By the way, I also want to ask them about my biological mother. I even wanted to ask what the real young master of the Shen family was like when he was a baby. In the end, Mr. and Mrs. Tan just wanted to get rid of him with money.
To be honest, no matter whether the Shen family still recognizes Shen Yu as their child or not, Shen Yu has been raised by the Shen family for so many years, so he is not short of money. And he had no concept of money. So he didn't take the money from the Tan family, but just left sadly.
Now, his jealous classmates slander him behind his back, saying that he is greedy, vain, and money-conscious, but Shen Yu refuses to admit it. Shen Yu’s friends and fans were even less convinced. Both sides have their own opinions and they are eager to fight as soon as they meet. It's like they're treating Shanghai University as a debate arena.
However, if the students of Shanghai University are still only in the primary battle of words, then outside the ivory tower of university, on the set that symbolizes the world of fame and fortune, some faces are exposed more and more nakedly.
When Shen Yu's background was exposed, he was filming a play. The leading actor is the film emperor Yan Sheng, who plays the second male lead. Because it is a martial arts movie, there are a lot of fighting scenes in it.
Before this, Shen Yu's fighting scenes had always been performed by a stunt double. Even for some scenes that don't require a body double, the Shen family insists on using a body double if the difficulty level is too high. Moreover, Shen Yu not only has martial arts stand-ins, he also has many literary stand-ins. When Shen Yu was still the young master of the Shen family, Madam Shen and Shen Yan had always doted on Shen Yu and refused to let him suffer even a little. This resulted in Shen Yu having a lot of substitutes.
This is actually what Shen Yu was most criticized for when filming - he can't endure hardship. Therefore, he used a body double for many scenes that required jumping into a river, hanging on wires, fighting in the snow, and even slapping. This also resulted in the filming of the part about Shen Yu in this drama being somewhat inconsistent.
The director and many actors actually have always had opinions in their hearts. However, there is no way around it, since the Shen family’s film and television company is the largest investor in this drama. The young master of the Shen family was willing to act for fun, and they could only accompany and coax him. They didn't see that even the most famous actor Yan Sheng had to NG more than a dozen times and still be patient as if nothing had happened. What else can these little shrimps say?
In order to curry favor with Shen Yu, some actors would deliberately act more cordially with Shen Yu during their free time during filming. This is actually human nature. But one day, he was discovered by Shen Yan who came to visit the set. The eldest daughter of the Shen family lost her temper and thought that those actresses were trying to seduce her younger brother. While Shen Yu was in the bathroom, he slapped the actress in front of everyone. The actress who was beaten played the second female lead in the play and was also a popular young actress in the entertainment industry who has been very popular in the past two years. It is said that there is a financial backer behind it. I had no such intention towards Shen Yu at all, I just wanted to establish a good relationship with him. However, he was beaten indiscriminately by the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
Not only that, even the young male actors who had a good relationship with Shen Yu were secretly bullied by Yao Wenxiao. At first, no one knew it, but unfortunately there is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. Later everyone found out that due to the power of the Shen and Yao families, these young actors had to swallow their anger. Now that they know that Shen Yu is not actually a member of the Shen family, and was even driven out of the Shen family by Madam Shen, these people naturally want revenge.
So when Shen Yu returned to the crew to film, a wire-acting scene that was originally supposed to be performed by a martial arts stand-in was deliberately instigated by everyone, but they insisted that Shen Yu perform it himself.
"But I'm afraid of heights! I don't dare." Shen Yu didn't know that these people were deliberately making trouble for him, and wanted to do it the same as before: "Didn't they all do it before--"
"Are you filming or is your stand-in doing the filming?" The second female lead who was acting opposite Shen Yu interrupted Shen Yu without any hesitation: "Do you know that we are going to film this scene next? There are many shots showing your face. If you don't appear, it will be very troublesome for the director to edit. In the later stage, we will have to cut out the pictures. Because of you alone, it will trouble all of us. The most important thing is that the quality of the film will be reduced. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
"Why would you want to be an actor if you can't endure hardship? Why don't you go back and be your young master? Oh, right, I remember. You are no longer the young master of the Shen family. Since you don't have the life of that young master, you should stop indulging yourself in so many of your problems. I just let you hang on a wire and do a few moves, but you drag your feet like you're going to the execution ground?"
"Speaking of which, they are both actors. In order to play a small supporting role with few scenes, Mr. Tao from Feixun.com actually tortured himself to a high fever of 39.3 degrees. He even went to a drug rehabilitation center to experience it. He filmed for several days with a high fever. He even refused to take medicine or sleep. He just wanted to get in the right state for the last scene. This is the manifestation of really wanting to be an actor and loving this industry."
"We don't ask Master Shen to have this kind of heart and professional ethics. We just ask you to hang on the wire and do a few moves. You can't be unable to do even this, right?"
Shen Yu was about to say something, but when he heard the second female lead mention Tao Mu, he stopped talking immediately: "I'll go."
Shen Yu was holding back his anger. He just didn't want people to say that he was much worse than Tao Mu. Although many people would say so.
After hearing Shen Yu's words, several actors looked at each other and curled their lips in a very subtle way.
The second female lead winked at the prop master. The prop master, who had been prepared, deliberately made the clothes very tight when putting them on Shen Yu. Shen Yu felt uncomfortable, but the prop master said confidently: "For fighting scenes, you have to hang very high. If the tie is loose, it will fall down. Aren't you afraid, young master?"
Of course Shen Yu would be afraid. So I kept quiet. However, it was extremely uncomfortable when I was hung up, and my whole body, especially the inner thighs, felt extremely painful. Shen Yu cried because of the pain and couldn't move at all.
The director did NG dozens of times and finally got impatient. Just shout "cut". Let everyone take a lunch break.
Only then did Shen Yu breathe a sigh of relief. I thought the most difficult time was over. It turned out that everyone went to eat and no one put him down.
In the middle of winter with temperatures below minus ten degrees Celsius, he wore a thin costume and was suspended in the air by a wire for more than two hours. Finally, Actor Yan Sheng, who had taken half a day off to attend an announcement, came back and asked his assistant to call the prop master. When he put the man down, Shen Yu was completely frozen.
When I returned to the dressing room, I started to have a fever. However, the crew still disliked him for being useless. I spent the entire afternoon shooting a scene but still couldn't get it right, what a waste of equipment. They also say that it’s a good thing that we now shoot everything digitally. If we had used film in the past, we would have wasted countless rolls of film in a day.
She is squeamish, useless, and cries easily. She is far inferior to Tao Mulai, whose acting skills are so superb that even teacher Zhan Bin praised her highly, and whose attitude during filming is so shocking.
Far worse than Tao Mu!
Shen Yu, who was leaning against the door of the dressing room, slid down to the ground weakly, listening to the discussions of people outside, and felt pain and cold all over.
He didn't understand why those people treated him like this.
