Chapter 90: Change the ending, I invest
Wen Shuang was not as crazy as Tang Weisheng. She ate the spicy hot pot in front of him for five minutes and then left. She put the food box on the windowsill, looking a little bored.
"What's wrong?" Xuanzhe hugged him from behind. He couldn't bear to see his quail suddenly lose its appetite. "Is it not tasty? I'll take you to eat seafood later."
"Yeah." Wen Shuang responded, then expressed her concerns: "With Tang Wansu like that, Wei Sheng and Tan Li's future will be difficult."
"That depends on Tan Li." Xuan Zhe continued. He knew Tang Weisheng well. Although he seemed sharp and could cut people, he actually stayed put and dared not move. When he encountered difficulties, he wanted to bury his head in the sand. Let's put it this way, if Tan Li gave up, Tang Weisheng would definitely not stop him, but the more happy he said, the more tortured he was in his heart, and he would suffocate himself in the end.
Wen Shuang looked up at Xuan Zhe: "What if Tan Li gives up..."
Xuanzhe: "I will kill him."
Wen Shuang nodded, nothing wrong.
After they came out of the hospital, Wen Shuang went to the seafood restaurant as she wished. Not only did she eat a plate of food, she also took another one away.
"When will the filming of this drama be completed?" Xuanzhe asked.
"It's almost done, we'll be finished by the end of the month." Wen Shuang sniffed the aroma of grilled oysters and regretted buying too few. Ten might not be enough.
Last time, Wen Shuang and Lin Nuan were kidnapped at the same time during filming. It was Xuan Zhe who reacted first. When Director Chen found out about it afterwards, it was like a bolt from the blue. He almost thought that his career was over. After all, President Xuan was famous for protecting his people. Once something happened to Wen Shuang, he would inevitably vent his anger on her. But a week later, Wen Shuang acted as if nothing had happened. She bought a cart of snacks and came to the crew, distributing them to everyone, and apologized for his absence from the crew, which delayed the progress. Director Chen almost cried out loud at that time.
The news about this incident was completely blocked. A media outlet broke the news in the middle, but Wen Shuang immediately took a selfie to prove her safety, so netizens and fans did not take these rumors seriously at all.
Director Chen has always been puzzled. There were only a few people who knew about it at the time, and they all gave death orders. How did the media know about it?
The first person Wen Shuang suspected was Zhou Jinhui.
By the way, the filming of her rival scenes with Dong Mingcheng was really messed up. Wen Shuang hadn't been to the crew for more than a week, but the progress was not much delayed. After finishing with Lin Nuan, the two of them sat in the corner and ate potato chips.
Lin Nuan never touched these things before because she would be criticized for affecting her figure. Also, with Tan Tianhe pressing on her, she really had no appetite. But ever since Tan Tianhe came down, it was as if Lin Nuan's Ren and Du meridians were opened up, and her appetite was almost catching up with Wen Shuang.
"Have you gained weight?" Wen Shuang fearlessly asked the question women hate the most: "Why do I feel like my arms have gained weight?"
Lin Nuan disagreed: "Do you think everyone eats grains for free like you?"
Wen Shuang teased: "What if Zhong Ming doesn't like it?"
The word "Zhong Ming" made Lin Nuan's face flush. She was like a young girl who had just fallen in love. Because of the existence of a person, she could smell the fragrance of the whole world and felt happiness and joy that was visible to the naked eye.
"I haven't told you yet." Lin Nuan hesitated, "Zhong Ming took me back to meet his parents."
Holy crap! Brother Gou is awesome!
"How is it?" Wen Shuang asked excitedly.
Lin Nuan hesitated but also felt a little happy: "I think...his parents seem to like me very much."
This was beyond Wen Shuang's expectations. He quickly stuffed a handful of potato chips to celebrate: "Good news, good news!"
Lin Nuan wasn't wrong. Even though Zhong Ming's parents were a little surprised at first, they agreed after seeing how pretty and lovable Lin Nuan was, a capable woman who could handle both housework and daily life. Of course, this was also thanks to Lu Li. No parents would want to see their son be trapped in a rut, constantly exploited by someone who already had a partner. This inadvertently lowered Zhong Ming's parents' standards. Zhong Ming's mother told him countless times, "Anyone will do, as long as it's not Lu Li."
Isn't this a coincidence?
Then their conversation was interrupted by a crisp sound.
Zhou Jinhui dropped the glass in her hand, her hair was a little messy, and she was glaring at Dong Mingcheng, and Dong Mingcheng's expression was not much better.
"Dog bites dog." Lin Nuan whispered.
Wen Shuang ruffled her hair: "Don't talk nonsense."
Wen Shuang walked closer and listened to a few words, and she began to understand the whole story. To put it bluntly, it was a kissing scene, and they had agreed to use a substitute camera, but who knew that Dong Mingcheng would really do it and even stick out his tongue, which immediately made Zhou Jinhui feel disgusted. Dong Mingcheng was a grown man with good looks, so he naturally felt uncomfortable being despised by a woman like this, and the two of them started fighting.
Life is not easy, Wen Shuang sighed.
He just wanted to finish his scenes quickly and then go back to be with his boyfriend.
Director Chen was also a ruthless person. After her career was saved, he had an even higher opinion of Wen Shuang, believing that she was not only stable and able to endure hardships, but also able to distinguish right from wrong. Otherwise, if she had been replaced by someone more sentimental, she would have been finished long ago if something happened on his set. Furthermore, Zhou Jinhui's father's investment had arrived, so Director Chen was very open-minded and let the two protagonists exchange insults while he filmed the rest of the film with Wen Shuang.
***
The boy ran against the crowd on the street. He suddenly realized that after the separation in the third year of high school, they would go their separate ways and there was a possibility that they would never see each other again in this life. He was really reluctant to let go. So for the first time, the boy broke his reserved and silent nature and took the small gift he had prepared for the girl, hoping to see her again. Even if he couldn't express his feelings, he wanted to tell her in person, "I hope you will be happy and brilliant for the rest of your life."
The young man was full of passion, he stepped on the sunshine on the ground, passers-by were in a hurry, and only he knew his happiness.
Getting closer and closer, the girl he had been thinking about all his youth.
"Screech——" a quick and sharp brake sound.
"Bang!!!"
The gift was stained with blood and shattered on the ground, and the boy became a boy forever.
"Click!" Director Chen took a deep breath and stared at the camera for a long time. He suddenly remembered that Wen Shuang was nominated for the Golden Award last time because of the killer role. At that time, many people believed that Wen Shuang would be fixed on this type of role in the future, with only one trick to win everything, and it would be difficult for her to transform.
Was it difficult? Director Chen didn't think it was difficult. This drama was doomed to fail due to the terrible acting of Zhou Jinhui and Dong Mingcheng. Director Chen was prepared to be blasted, but Wen Shuang created another possibility. He had a hunch that once this segment was aired, it would become a hit!
Wen Shuang sat up from the ground, feeling uncomfortable with the bloody blood on his body. Seeing Lin Nuan standing not far away with red eyes, Wen Shuang just felt funny: "Why, are you conquered by my acting skills?"
Lin Nuan turned away and didn't look at him. "Go wash it quickly, it's so dirty!"
Lin Nuan was embarrassed to say that her emotional breakdown was not caused by the plot, but because she saw Wen Shuang lying on the ground covered in blood and unconscious, it was like something beautiful was shattered in an instant, which was hard to accept.
She was like this already, not to mention the shock the fans received when the trailer was released.
Wen Shuang woke up and saw them all making "woohoo" comments on Weibo, thinking something big had happened.
Of course, something really happened.
President Xuan also saw this clip.
Assistant Cao recalled that President Xuan still looked disdainful and calm at the time, and then he casually clicked on the 15-minute trailer for the new drama. If it weren't for Wen Shuang's participation, watching this youth drama of pain would have been an insult to Xuan Zhe's intelligence!
When Cao Nanyu first started watching it, he even heard President Xuan's disdainful sneer.
Director Chen knew that if the film relied solely on the lead actors, the trailer would be as explosive as a truck exploding, and would be a total flop before it even aired. So, he paid a high price to hire a music production team. First of all, the accompaniment in the trailer is very brilliant, especially the shots of Wen Shuang. The sunshine and melancholy of youth, the restraint and preference that cannot be expressed in words, give the audience a soothing yet strong impact. Wen Shuang occupies half of the fifteen-minute trailer. Later in the film, the boy runs against the light, accompanied by increasingly exciting and high-pitched music, and suddenly it comes to an abrupt end!
The final frame freezes on the young man lying in a pool of blood.
The most beautiful crystal in the world shattered and was covered by dust and death. No one can escape this sadness.
Cao Nanyu swore that President Xuan sat up straight in an instant, staring at the screen, and then, as if he had experienced some major change that had shaken his outlook on life, he put a fist to his lips and told him in a hoarse voice to bring Wen Shuang over.
Right now! Immediately!
Poor Shuangzai was sleeping in his bed. When Assistant Cao dug him out, he couldn't even open his eyes. He finally woke up and found himself downstairs at Quan Yi's building. He thought Xuanzhe had spontaneously brought him here to eat something delicious, but when he walked in, he was met with a man's sorrowful eyes...
Wen Shuang: "..." What's going on?
Xuanzhe held Wen Shuang in his arms, carefully, for about five minutes, giving Wen Shuang goosebumps all over her body. Then he said, "I will never let that day happen to you. I will protect you well."
Wen Shuang: "..." Can someone come and tell him what happened?
Wen Shuang ate a plate of braised pork with two bowls of rice in Xuanzhe's office. She finally understood the whole story and laughed, "It's just a movie, why do you take it so seriously?"
The system landed on Wen Shuang's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "The ceiling is really sad right now. I think you'd better shut up."
Wen Shuang: “…”Okay.
But he underestimated the subsequent reaction this incident would bring.
Director Chen also underestimated it. His original intention was to make the drama less of a flop, but the follow-up effect was so strong that the fifteen-minute trailer was cut into pieces by fans and some so-called "drama fans".
A bunch of people left messages on the official blog, asking them to give a definite answer. Is the male second really dead?
As the saying goes, what you can't get will always cause unrest. In a sense, the dead are the strongest. Director Chen keenly smelled the impending wave of fanaticism, so he made up his mind to let the official Weibo issue a statement.
Allure of Time V: Sorry, Han Tong will always be a teenager. [Cry, cry, cry]
Needless to say, everyone was blasting the official Weibo account, calling them heartless and declaring they would never watch the show after it aired!
"You're kidding!" Director Chen remained unmoved. He knew the audience's nature too well. If he didn't watch it, the amount of fan fiction produced about Han Tong would surpass all other works of the same period by a large margin!
But he didn't expect that President Xuan also had a fragile heart!!!
Xuan Zhe has a Weibo account, but he never checks it out. He hasn't made any comments since his last official announcement with Wen Shuang. Even with his impressive status and looks that beat all the male stars in the entertainment industry, he has attracted countless fans. People still find it very interesting even if he has a dead account.
And today, this dead account has come back to life!
Xuanzhe V: @Chen Yueming changed the ending, I invested.
Weibo seemed to freeze for a moment, and then the whole thing started boiling!
[Holy shit, holy shit, what did I see? President Xuan actually posted on Weibo! Of course, that's not the point! Is it true that President Xuan asked Director Chen to change Han Tong's ending? Really?]
After the shock, I actually ate some sweetness amidst the knife attacks of the past few days! Does this mean that President Xuan has also empathized with Shuangzai and can’t stand it anymore?
[Change, change, change, I can't stand it anymore! That scene is becoming my biggest nightmare in recent years!]
[Ning Shuang in the past, Li Shuang later, everything was fake, only Zhe Shuang is the king! As expected, the official announcement is so ridiculous! Are you in a relationship? He can't bear to see you suffer in the drama, and he wants to invest in changing the ending for you!]
Netizens, fans and CPs are all going crazy.
President Xuan’s sweetness caught people off guard.
Wen Shuang said: "I don't! I finally have two days off, why don't I stay with you in the company?"
Xuanzhe stuffed him into the car, his expression gentle, but his movements firm as he pried open the man's fingers that were clinging to the door. "Just two shots, come back after you're done."
The car door closed, ruthlessly and neatly.
Wen Shuang: “…”
Half an hour later, Director Chen and Wen Shuang looked at each other on the set, both of their faces full of vicissitudes of life.
