Day 57
The screen erupted in an uproar, so loud that it hurt Lin Weiwei's eyes. She was certainly concerned about the truth behind the scandal, but strangely, she didn't get excited when she saw Ye Lai dressed as a woman.
Instead, he silently dragged the progress bar back to the place where Fu Xunyan's female killer makeup appeared.
"Hey, this kid has quite a few styles. If I had known he could accept women's clothing, I should have made a bigger breakthrough last time."
"I wonder if Cong He would accept it. Let them try the women's clothing line together. Maybe there will be unexpected gains..."
The second time, Lin Weiwei finally opened the barrage and judged from the perspective of a rational businessman whether Fu Xunyan's outfit was acceptable to the public.
Then... in this vast ocean of praise, there is no trace of the black spots at all... even the image quality has deteriorated.
[Ahhhhh!!! What kind of fairy is this!!! Has my brother’s face been kissed by God?! ! !]
[I suggest you get directly selected for the "World's 100 Most Beautiful Women" list!!!] This isn't a crossdresser, she's clearly a runaway Disney princess! Perfect eyelashes + pale skin + swan neck = the ultimate in beauty!!!]
[A newbie question: How many surprises does Brother have that I don’t know about?!
[Immediately forward the treasure hunt women's clothing live video and @ three friends, come and accept the beauty attack, if you don't call me wife after watching it, I lose!],
Did Nuwa secretly use you as her graduation project? Does this face really exist? I suggest it be added to the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List. After all, it's so beautiful it defies natural laws.
[Treasure hunt, is your face made of RMB? Otherwise, why do I like it more and more!]
Lin Weiwei rarely showed an elderly expression, and moved the progress bar to the scene where Ye Lai and Fu Xunyan met in the convenience store.
Jiang Han was clearly the only male protagonist in the scene, yet he seemed completely invisible. The assassin, disguised as both a man and a woman, still had traces of makeup on his face, but the artificial snow had dampened his features, leaving his damp eyebrows and hair like the moss growing in an old house, carrying a lingering, decayed air.
There was emotion in his eyes, the kind of restrained joking, as if he was afraid that the person opposite him would be unhappy about it.
Ye Lai next to him was even more straightforward. Comparing Lin Weiwei with the audience, it was clear that he was not into the role at all.
The look he gave Fu Xunyan was more moving than the one he gave the male protagonist, and his apology wrapped in warmth slowly revealed itself.
Lin Weiwei then noticed the URL that had appeared so many times in the comments. She was startled, then copied it and opened it.
It started with a shaky shot and ended with him being suddenly put down. In the last scene, the boy in women's clothing was still at the door of the convenience store, staring at the cold wind as he completed the scene professionally, completely unaware that the staff had disappeared and he was left there alone.
He took up the other half of the shot.
The boy that no one knew about.
The convenience store at night is immersed in dim lights, and the glass door reflects blurry neon reflections.
He leaned against the door frame, the brim of his hoodie pulled low, but it couldn't hide his sharp jawline. His tall figure was stretched even longer, almost blending into the light and shadow of the convenience store behind him.
The "girl" next to him was editing a message and handed the two pigeon eggs to him.
He scoffed, his expression expressing his surprise at the girl's lack of defense. The ring was twirled irregularly in his hand, and then wrapped in his clenched palm.
The touch of the gem in my palm wasn't right.
For the first time, Fu Xunyan truly turned his attention to the women around him.
Look at her skirt, her high heels, her hair and her bag.
Then he suddenly sneered.
He patted the girl's shoulder, handed the ring back to her, and took the cup of cold coffee from her hand.
The girl was startled and finally realized that she had left him alone for a long time. In order to express her gratitude for his help, she asked if she could give him some food.
After all, the boy said that this cup of coffee was his dinner.
"Miss." The boy's eyes and eyebrows showed a sharp look. Since he had planned to turn around and go back, he moved away from Ye Lai's microphone and his voice became vague.
"I'm not helping you in exchange for a dinner."
His eyes were deep and the corners of his mouth were stretched into a straight line, as if he was not very happy.
Ye Lai couldn't understand this emotion, but he was also very unhappy. In such cold weather, he was wearing so little and doing this meaningless group show shooting. Has anyone asked him what he thought?
Moreover, he must pass the price on to the convenience store employees. If not, after this episode of the group variety show is broadcast, there will definitely be a lot of people scolding him for being impolite and ungrateful.
"I know you don't mean that, but please accept my kindness, okay? Otherwise, I'll feel guilty."
The automatic door of the convenience store opened and closed, and the wind blew across the collar of his black shirt, causing the chain on his collarbone to flash slightly.
At that moment, he suddenly smiled. Not the silent, slightly warm smile from earlier, but one that became extremely arrogant, tinged with a stinging coldness that spread from the bottom of his eyes and was quickly blocked by the shadow of his eyelashes.
"So? Your repayment is just to make yourself happy, right? You completely disregard the feelings of the person who helped you?"
After saying this, the boy turned around and went into the convenience store and returned to his seat.
That small, quiet, humble place.
Ye Lai almost jumped up and down, his anger rising.
It’s okay to be looked down upon by those bastards in a foreign country, but why are these Chinese people so cruel!
He completely forgot that he was the one who disguised his identity first.
But the phrase "a broken jar is broken" does not exist in Ye Lai's dictionary. Having been working for three years, he quickly controlled the muscles on his face and made a puzzled expression, as if he really didn't hear clearly what the other party said.
The camera that was left there because Jae Hyuk didn't want to film faithfully recorded this scene, and the people in the picture parted ways unhappily.
It was such a coincidence.
After the filming of Ye Lai's group variety show failed, the footage in the camera was not destroyed, and because the incident happened suddenly, no one cared about these materials anymore.
However, some people are born with business acumen. They noticed that Ye Lai and the convenience store boy both had star quality, so they secretly made backups, edited the videos when they had nothing to do, and saved them in a USB flash drive.
He has made more than one document like this, just waiting for the protagonists of these films to become popular one day so that he can sell them for money.
So, isn't that what we've been waiting for? He was actually the one who released the gossip photos. He still works for various variety show crews today. One day, he heard through an acquaintance that Pennyline was collecting gossip about a young foreign celebrity, and he was immediately intrigued.
Through this photo, he directly earned a local car.
However, greed is a habit. If a photo can bring him so much income, how much will an entire clip bring him?
It would definitely be unrealistic to sell it again, because the latter would immediately find out who took the scandalous photos. So he simply thought that he might as well use this clip as an opportunity to make a name for himself and switch careers to become a paparazzi.
This is how we are in today's situation.
[Wow, I thought it was some sweet idol drama after watching the first half, but can someone explain why two people can still have such grumpy faces just by doing a little street test?!]
[Why else? Your brother is rude. Xun Ye is dead.]
[Go to hell with the scoundrel above. What's so rude about that? Both sides are polite even when they're angry, right?]
[So the question is, why are you angry?]
Careful viewers quickly figured out the reason.
[I think I know...]
[I also……]
[I think Xunbao had already seen the camera in Ye Lai's bag, so he gave her a cold face. Because his kindness was betrayed, not asking for the deletion on the spot was already the greatest kindness.]
[So self-media doing street testing really need to be careful. Although most people are willing to play along, some people really don’t like being deceived.]
[Alas, Ye Lai suffered a huge loss. The variety show didn’t air, and it left a bad impression on Treasure Hunt.]
[Wait, since that's the case, did Fu Xunyan recognize Ye Lai after he appeared on the show? Did he recognize her but didn't you ask?]
Good question. Did Fu Xunyan recognize Ye Lai?
Regarding the reverse question of this issue, there is no need to say more about whether Ye Lai recognized Fu Xunyan. The rumor that fans were staring at him because they were shouting that they loved him during the first stage of the show has been debunked.
Ye Lai kept staring at Fu Xunyan because she recognized him as an acquaintance, not because of "love at first sight".
Ye's mother felt deeply deceived, and immediately turned back to investigate Fu Xunyan in detail, trying to find evidence that he also recognized Ye Lai.
but……
Did Fu Xunyan recognize her? I felt like he glanced at Ye Lai but didn't say anything.
[I definitely recognized her. It's only been six months, not ten years. Even though Ye Lai was wearing heavy makeup at the time, it's impossible for her not to remember her when she was so close.]
[If you recognized it, why didn’t you say it?]
[Have you ever thought that he was just afraid of embarrassing Ye Lai?]
Time goes back to the present. When the scene changes, Ye Lai fiddles with her long hair, her eyes wandering between Fu Xunyan's shoulders and the green plants.
"I'm sorry about what happened back then."
"Nothing." Fu Xunyan looked at Jiang Han from a distance to make up the shot.
Ye Lai couldn't help but ask, "Why were you angry then? Are you really unhappy because you were cheated?"
The cameras were still rolling, but Ye Lai probably didn't expect this small talk to be edited out and released. They thought that wearing women's clothing was the strongest response to the rumors, and there was no need to add anything more.
But the editor doesn’t think that wearing women’s clothing is a clarification of the scandal, but their conversation is the explosive point of traffic.
Fu Xunyan shook his head and finally turned his gaze to look at Ye Lai's face.
"I wasn't deceived, I just recognized your identity."
Identity? Ye Lai blinked.
"Like me, a Chinese."
"It's obvious that people there are most attracted to innocent pretty girls, but when it comes to foreigners, you gather together villains, cheat on your boyfriend, and randomly pick up men on the street to take photos of your wedding rings. Ye Lai, didn't you feel uncomfortable at that time?"
Ye Lai was shocked and subconsciously clenched the paper cup he was drinking water from.
Fortunately it was empty.
He smiled and said, "Yeah, it's a bit uncomfortable, but it's work after all, there's nothing I can do."
Ye Lai still doesn't understand the shooting logic of that variety show. There are so many TV dramas in H country, and any classic female character in them is very interesting. Jae-hyuk and the other three chose classic clips, but when it came to him, the variety show writer insisted on creating a new image.
The older rich woman, the gaudy dress, and what Fu Xunyan said about cheating on her boyfriend and doing things casually, each of these points hits the sore spots of Country H.
Ye Lai still adhered to the Chinese way of thinking at the time. Although he vaguely felt that this character was not likable, after all, compared with the people next door, the Chinese were not so likely to stand on the side of the scumbag to condemn the rich woman's deceptive behavior, so he did not take it seriously.
But today, Ye Lai suddenly felt the malice behind his agent's arrangement, and was even glad that the filming of the variety show failed.
If he were released, it would be a disaster for him at that time.
Ah, actually it can’t be considered a disaster. After all, what happened that week after the filming ended was the real source of the disaster.
Mr.J is a four-member group that debuted in late 2011. The leader, Jae-hyuk, is in charge of vocals and writing. When they debuted, Ye Lai was only 17 years old, young and immature, and as the youngest member, he was not very noticeable.
In September 2014, Mr.J's "Youth Love Song" produced by Jae Hyuk suddenly became a hit. With the fresh style of the music and the beautiful face shown in the MV, Ye Lai's popularity soared, and she went from the back of the group to the top in one fell swoop.
But with fame, the world turns upside down.
Jae Hyuk had long been dissatisfied with the company taking away most of his copyrights, and the situation had become strained. In November, the company compromised on the surface and put together a group variety show, but in the fourth episode, all members were required to wear women's clothing, which instantly ignited Jae Hyuk's temper and he tore up the contract directly.
As the youngest brother in the group, Ye Lai had no say and could only watch the thriving group fall apart in just three months.
Therefore, Mr. J is like a shining meteor, which shines brightly for a few minutes before sliding into the abyss and disappearing from sight.
