Secret Marriage with the King 19
According to the plot, Xu Yu was seriously ill and knew that he would not live long, so he was unwilling to leave with Xiao Yan. He pointed a gun at himself and threatened Xiao Yan not to come forward. Then he looked at Xiao Yan for the last time with a farewell heart and left in a car.
In the old plot, Xu Yu's ending was to die together with his enemies and be shattered into pieces in the explosion.
In the modified plot, Xu Yu killed his enemies and was shot several times. Then he set fire to everything, turning it into ashes, including himself.
The final scene shows Tao Yuan standing in the flames, muttering to himself, "From the moment I chose this path, I knew I wouldn't have a happy ending. I deserve this retribution..."
He was smiling, a smile of victory as revenge came, a smile of final liberation; but there were also tears in his eyes, tears of reluctance to leave his beloved, tears of regret for not being able to spend the rest of his life with her.
The stage effects were superb. The fire grew increasingly intense, creating a psychological sensation for the audience. Combined with the visual effects and the scenery on the big screen, Tao Yuan's presence amidst the flames was poignant and breathtaking, creating a visually stunning experience. This scene has been etched in the minds of all who witnessed it for a long time.
After Tao Yuan stepped down from the stage, the director and screenwriter led the applause, and everyone else followed suit.
He Yucheng looked at him with a smile. Although the seductive scenes performed by Tao Yuan made him a little reluctant to let others see them, Tao Yuan's overall performance made him very proud of him.
Qin Xiao and Xu Mo stood in the corner respectively, like bystanders who had nothing to do with anything, watching Tao Yuan accept everyone's praise with their own thoughts.
At the same time, online voting was also underway. Only Tao Yuan's votes soared like a rocket, and netizens' comments were almost all in recognition and praise of him.
——The feeling given by Xu Yu is very different from that of Wei Ning. When I watched Wei Ning's performance before, I felt more sympathy and heartache for the character of Xu Yu. But Chu Yun's Xu Yu, I like him from the bottom of my heart and am deeply attracted to him.
——Although saying this may cause dissatisfaction among some people, I feel from the bottom of my heart that Xu Yu played by Chu Yun is more attractive.
——The acting is so charming. I have fallen in love with Xu Yu played by Chu Yun. At the ending, the sense of substitution was so strong. The strong sadness and regret made me still unable to recover.
——I strongly request that there be more performances. This time I must get a ticket to watch it live. A friend of mine got a ticket and went to watch it himself. He said that watching it live up close is definitely more exciting than watching the live broadcast. Chu Yun's acting skills are amazing, and he is addicted to it.
——Yes, there should be more performances. Those that don’t perform that well have to perform ten or twenty shows. It would be a pity if such a good performance didn’t have more performances.
——Although the character of Xu Yu did a lot of bad things, Chu Yun’s performance not only made it impossible to dislike him, but made me feel that I had fallen in love with him. Even though I had always firmly believed that no one could surpass Xu Yu played by Wei Ning, I could not deceive myself in my heart. I had already fallen in love with Xu Yu played by Chu Yun.
——I also like Chu Yun. He really has acting skills. Although I don’t know why he hasn’t taken on any dramas after almost a year of debut, I am now very much looking forward to his next work.
——It is said that for a company as big as Dongyu, the resources it gives to other newcomers are not bad. Why do they treat Chu Yun like an adopted child, without any good resources? If they don’t want to give him good resources, why sign him?
——Talking about this matter, the more I think about it, the more strange it seems. Chu Yun can sing and dance, and he has both creative talent and acting skills. Why is he so unpopular in East Entertainment? He was criticized so badly before, but the company did not come forward to help him with public relations, and just let the smear campaign against him on the Internet get worse and worse.
After the performance, everyone went back to rest. Tomorrow will be the awards ceremony for the All-Round Idol and the celebration banquet for the stage play.
Because so many netizens on the Internet requested that they perform more shows, the director issued a statement on his personal homepage, saying that in order to meet the wishes of the majority of netizens, he would try his best to negotiate and strive to perform more shows.
Then netizens left messages on his homepage, saying that they didn’t care if other roles were played by different actors, as long as He Yucheng and Chu Yun were there, and asked the director to make sure they played the roles.
Tao Yuan and He Yucheng gained a lot of CP fans overnight. The emotions they portrayed were too real and attractive, which made the audience transfer their emotions about the love between the characters to themselves, hoping that the two tragic people in the plot could be together in reality. This kind of emotional transfer of fans will appear in many good plots, and the number of emotional fans that Tao Yuan and He Yucheng gained this time can be said to be quite huge, making Tao Yuan become popular overnight and gaining many fans who like him.
Before it got dark, He Yucheng opened a bottle of wine and coaxed Tao Yuan to drink half of it. After Tao Yuan leaned dizzy and weakly in his arms, he carried Tao Yuan to the bed and tossed Tao Yuan over and over.
Tao Yuan fell asleep in a daze, and woke up while being shaken. He hummed softly that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water. About ten minutes later, Tao Yuan hummed a few times in a hoarse voice, and He Yucheng also hummed a few times in his throat before getting out of bed to pour him some water.
He Yucheng sat down on the bed with a cup of water. After helping Tao Yuan up, he let him lean against his chest and coaxed him softly, "Open your mouth."
Tao Yuan was half asleep, half awake, and half drunk. He only knew that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but when the water reached his mouth, he didn't know how to swallow it, so it all flowed out.
He Yucheng could only drink the water himself, then hold Tao Yuan sideways, pinch his nose and feed him with his mouth.
Tao Yuan, unable to breathe due to his pinched nose, became much more awake. At least he knew to swallow the water when it reached his mouth. He looked at He Yucheng with half-open eyes and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's still early, you continue sleeping and get up when you've had enough sleep." He Yucheng put the water cup on the bedside table, hugged Tao Yuan and patted him gently, letting him continue sleeping.
"How can that be? I'll be late for the performance, and I'll be scolded if I'm late." Tao Yuan said in a daze.
"The performance is over. You will be awarded the award tomorrow afternoon, and there will be a celebration banquet in the evening." He Yucheng looked at his dazed look, and his heart was filled with love. He kissed him on the face again and again.
"It's over?" Tao Yuan asked doubtfully. "It's over? Did I perform well?"
"You performed very well. Everyone praised you and said you performed well."
"Really? You think I acted well too?"
"Of course, you're the best actor to have played this role, far better than Wei Ning. With your acting skills, it would be a shame if you just disappeared for seven years and didn't take on any scripts."
"Is it a pity? It doesn't matter. Just consider it a break. After seven years, there's no guarantee that there will be a good script or a suitable role."
He Yucheng held Tao Yuan in his arms with a thoughtful expression, but Tao Yuan fell asleep again soon and didn't see it.
……………………
Qin Xiao hadn't slept all night, his face expressionless as he stared at the screen. Tao Yuan's votes far surpassed his own, and netizens' comments about him were almost entirely favorable. This was how he had imagined his participation in the All-Around Idol competition would turn out: a massive lead in votes, and all praise and comments. But the person who had achieved this wasn't him, but the one he'd so desperately wanted to trample on.
The thing Qin Xiao regrets most now is letting Tao Yuan participate in Almighty Idol, because the result is completely contrary to his original intention. He thinks that if Tao Yuan had not participated in Almighty Idol, his light would not be overshadowed, and everything would be as he wished.
He sat up straight, thinking to himself that he couldn't let a single setback completely dishearten him. He felt that Tao Yuan's high vote count and favorable reviews were largely due to He Yucheng's help and favoritism. If He Yucheng had treated him this way, he would have certainly achieved his original goal. However, the current outcome was extremely unfair to him and everyone else. Therefore, he had to let everyone know about the improper relationship between He Yucheng and Tao Yuan, and the real reason why Tao Yuan was ranked first.
Tao Yuan slept until noon the next day. Just after lunch, he received a message from his agent asking him to go to the company first and then attend the awards ceremony and celebration banquet with the company staff. Tao Yuan just glanced at it and ignored it, let alone replied. After a while, the phone rang, but he didn't answer it. When it was almost time, he asked the driver to take him to the recording site.
Voting ended at noon sharp, and Tao Yuan secured first place. For his role as Xu Yu, he received more votes than everyone else combined. While the final ranking was determined not only by votes but also by the mentors' scores and evaluations, Tao Yuan's scores and evaluations were the highest and best, securing the title of "Almighty Idol" and the award.
When the awards ceremony started, the third place was awarded first. Qin Xiao didn't even get third place. He was ranked fourth behind another newcomer from a big company with a very small gap. He didn't even have the chance to go on stage alone. He could only go on stage at the last moment to take a photo with everyone.
He Yucheng personally presented the award to Tao Yuan. Tao Yuan took the trophy, certificate and bonus card from his hands. The two looked at each other quickly, and then pretended to be serious.
After the award ceremony, reporters conducted interviews and one reporter asked Tao Yuan whether he would perform more shows in response to netizens' requests.
Tao Yuan replied that of course he wanted to continue performing and perform as many shows as possible, but this was not something he could decide on his own. It depended on how the company arranged it. If the company did not agree, there was nothing he could do.
Tao Yuan's answer was equivalent to putting invisible pressure on Dongyu Entertainment Company. If Tao Yuan was unable to perform next time, it must be because Dongyu Entertainment Company was blocking him.
There was a celebration banquet that evening. He Yucheng, Tao Yuan, the director, and the screenwriter stood together and talked for a long time. He Yucheng and Tao Yuan also stood alone and talked for a while. Before the banquet was over, the two of them were about to leave. However, they went their separate ways, so it was impossible for anyone to catch them with any real evidence at this time.
Just as Tao Yuan walked to the road leading to the parking lot behind the hotel, three people suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
