☆、Chapter 175: Couple Variety Show 4
Lanlan: They never did it behind people's backs. There was a passionate scene, and it was said that the two of them really did it under the covers. When the actress got out of bed after the scene, her legs were so weak. I don't know if it was true or not, but many people in the crew said so.
Lanlan: This is actually not a rare thing. Jasmine, you don’t shoot much so you may not understand it. There are really a lot of couples in the circle. They work together to meet each other’s physical needs during filming, and then they’ll be replaced in the next part. If they get along, they’ll come together, and if they don’t, they’ll go their separate ways. No one is responsible for anyone else.
Lanlan: But don't worry, Actor Lu is definitely not that kind of person. He is very self-disciplined.
Lanlan sent a string of messages in one breath.
After Wen Mianyu finished reading this message, the next one came immediately. At the end, she praised Lu Congxu. Lanlan wrote a long article, and Wen Mianyu read it for a long time as if he was reading a short essay.
Finally, Lanlan stopped texting, and Wen Mianyu had the chance to reply.
Wen Mianyu: I understand. You go ahead and do your work.
Wen Mianyu: Happy working.
Putting down her phone, Wen Mianyu couldn't help but glance back. She saw Chen Kai had already covered himself with a blanket, his eyes closed, resting. Nan Xin sat alone beside him, lost in thought.
At first glance, they look like a couple who appear to be in harmony but are actually at odds with each other. Combined with Lanlan's words, one can imagine Chen Kai's usual style.
I just don’t know if Nan Xin is clear about it.
If she knew this and still endured it, it was her own cowardice. Wen Mianyu didn't intend to meddle in her affairs.
But if he didn't know and was kept in the dark and deceived, Wen Mianyu felt that she needed to expose the scumbag's true face.
"What are you looking at?" Wen Mianyu was lost in thought when Lu Congxu's voice came from beside him.
She came back to her senses, looked away, and said, "Nothing, just taking a look."
"Take a rest. I heard that we will start recording directly when we get there. There will be a house-grabbing game, which may be very physically demanding. If you don't rest more on the plane, how will you have the energy to deal with it when the time comes?" Lu Congxu took the blanket and covered her legs, and at the same time adjusted the back of the chair so that she could lie comfortably.
Both of them were accustomed to such meticulous care. Wen Mianyu nodded and pulled the blanket up to cover her body. "Then I'll sleep for a while."
"Go to sleep, I'll stay with you." Lu Congxu lay beside her.
The two held hands and fell asleep together.
…
Lu Congxu's information came from a staff member within the crew, and the source of the information was accurate.
Sure enough, after arriving in Hawaii, the production team did not give everyone time to rest and prepared to start recording.
"It's already afternoon, and we have to finish recording the room-grabbing segment before dark. Anyone who needs to put on makeup or change clothes can go inside the villa. We will gather in front of the door in half an hour and start the room-grabbing game." Chen Ning announced the rules for the subsequent recording.
The guests are all artists who have been in the circle for a long time. They usually pay great attention to their image. They know that there may be fans taking photos of them at the airport, so they all put on makeup when they come, and their clothing is also fashionable enough to walk on the catwalk.
No one needed to change their makeup, so they took this opportunity to go into the villa to rest, have some cold drinks or take a walk to see the interior of the villa.
Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu had both slept enough, so they each took a glass of iced orange juice and went upstairs to the villa for a walk.
This villa is built on the beach. The overall architecture is very trendy and fashionable. The interior decoration is simple black, white and gray, and the exterior uses large floor-to-ceiling windows. The entire south-facing living room is made up of floor-to-ceiling windows. The warm yellow sunlight shines in, and the villa is filled with warm light.
In addition, the bedroom design is also very pleasing. Half of the floor of the bedroom on the first floor facing the sea is spliced, and there is sea water under the beautiful and transparent glass. It is so clear that you can even see the fish swimming below.
Although it was not the first time that Wen Mianyu had seen a house of this design, everyone loves to enjoy beautiful things. She took out her mobile phone and took several photos. She also asked Lu Congxu to pose for her and pretend to touch the fish below, and took several more photos.
After visiting the first and second floors, the two went to the third floor.
When she reached the corner of the stairs, Wen Mianyu heard someone sobbing. The voice was low and it could be heard that it was a female voice, which sounded very much like Nan Xin.
Lu Congxu also heard it, and unconsciously slowed down his footsteps and turned to look at her.
Wen Mianyu paused for a moment, then made a gesture and continued to walk up the stairs.
Lu Congxu understood that she wanted to see the situation, so he followed her.
As the two men reached the top of the stairs, the sounds of the quarrel became clearer and clearer. A door across the corridor was half-open, and Chen Kai's complaining voice could be heard from inside from time to time.
"How can you blame me for this? She seduced me. Look, I didn't even respond, so why are you jealous?" Chen Kai said quite righteously, with accusations in his words.
"But...but this is not the first time someone has sent you this, why..." Nan Xin's voice was low and her momentum was weak.
"Can you please stop? Why why why why do you want to say what? How do you want me to explain it?" Chen Kai yelled.
Nan Xin was speechless for a moment.
Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu looked at each other, then both lowered their footsteps and walked over quietly.
When they reached the door, Chen Kai's voice rang out again from the room, which had been silent for a while. "Alright, alright, stop messing around. You know how many things like this happen in this industry. Your husband is so outstanding, and there have always been many women who want to seduce me. You should be proud of your choice!"
Through the half-open door, Wen Mianyu saw Chen Kai hugging Nan Xin in the room.
"Be good, don't always pick on me. Look at the men in ancient times who had three wives and four concubines, didn't they all get along well? As the legal wife, you should be tolerant. I haven't done anything yet, yet you're jealous." Chen Kai leaned over and kissed Nan Xin on the cheek. "Men, even if they flirt with each other, that's normal. Look at how many people in the entertainment industry are chaste. I'm a good husband."
There were traces of tears on Nan Xin's face and she looked aggrieved. She didn't move or speak.
"What? Do you want this to never end?" Chen Kai let go of her with a bad look on his face.
"I didn't, I just..." Nan Xin was obviously not good at arguing.
Wen Mianyu couldn't bear it any longer and cleared her throat. "This floor is so beautifully decorated. Let's take a look at this room..."
As she spoke, she pushed open the door in front of her, and then, as if she hadn't expected someone to be in the room, she was surprised to see, "Nan Xin, Chen Kai, you are here too!"
After she interrupted, Chen Kai and Nan Xin couldn't continue arguing because of the presence of outsiders.
Chen Kai walked forward enthusiastically and shook hands with Lu Congxu and Wen Mianyu. "Mr. Lu, you guys are welcome to come up and take a look. Xinxin and I just came in. The decoration of this floor is quite nice."
Nan Xin turned her back, secretly wiped away her tears, turned around and smiled at the two of them.
It's really sad to see him forcing a smile.
Wen Mianyu sighed inwardly, but a smile was plastered on her face. "We came up from the first floor and looked at every floor. Have you finished looking? Let's go down together?"
"Okay!" Chen Kai quickly agreed.
The entertainment industry is a place with very clear status. Being famous means having a say, and being famous means status. In his eyes, someone of Lu Congxu's status is not easy to come across, and even harder to make friends with. Therefore, he would not let go of this opportunity to get close to Lu Congxu.
Chen Kai walked beside Lu Congxu very enthusiastically and didn't even pay attention to Nan Xin for a moment.
Nan Xin is not the type of person who would argue in front of outsiders, but her mood had not changed for the time being, so she walked silently behind.
Wen Mianyu noticed this and slowed down his pace, walking side by side with Nan Xin.
Lu Congxu and she have always had a tacit understanding. After understanding Wen Mianyu's intention, she took the initiative to talk to Chen Kai, deliberately quickening her pace and gradually distanced herself from the two people behind her.
Chen Kai was so focused on making friends with him that he completely forgot about Nan Xin.
After walking for a while, Nan Xin's mood gradually recovered and she found that Chen Kai and Lu Congxu in front were far behind them.
It was also at this time that she discovered that Wen Mianyu was walking behind her.
"Sorry." Nan Xin looked at Wen Mianyu apologetically, "I was a little distracted and didn't realize you were waiting for me. Thank you."
"I didn't wait for you on purpose. I just didn't want to leave so quickly." Wen Mianyu smiled at her kindly. "Those two grown men are talking about topics I'm not interested in. I might as well walk with you."
"I'm actually not that interesting. I know very little and I'm not very good at chatting with people." Nan Xin smiled shyly.
"What do you mean by understanding? I don't know anything about astronomy and geography, I'm just chatting." Wen Mianyu said, "I've seen your plays before, and I always thought you were beautiful and had good acting skills."
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Su." Nan Xin touched her nose embarrassedly. She was habitually modest, but it was obvious that anyone would be happy if praised.
Nan Xin was no exception and suddenly became much more relaxed. "Although I graduated from a professional school, I wasn't the best in my class. I got married a few years after my debut. It's been a long time since I last filmed a movie."
"Then have you ever thought about making a comeback?" Wen Mianyu asked, "Getting married doesn't mean you can't act in movies. Look at many female celebrities, their work doesn't get affected after marriage."
"You don't have children, right? I have children and I have to take care of them." Nan Xin showed envy. "I've seen your mentor's show. You've been working since you got married."
"The child can be left with a nanny. Don't you still have parents? Although it's not good for parents not to be with their children all the time, they don't have to be with them all the time. Everyone is an individual and there is no need to give up your own life for the sake of the child." Wen Mianyu coaxed.
Nan Xin gave a wry smile, "My father said that women should return to their families after marriage. The child will only be close to me if I raise him myself."
"..." Wen Mianyu.
She said, Nan Xin is a professional actress, she has seen the world in the circle, and she is so beautiful. She should be proud, so how could she be deceived by Chen Kai like that?
Now after this conversation, she finally understood. First of all, Nanxin's father must be an extremely patriarchal person. He believed that after marriage, one should return to the family and be a housewife at home. How could he have financial independence and a say?
Not to mention, Chen Kai is the kind of person who will start a dyeing factory if given a little color.
He probably has already got a firm hold on Nan Xin, using her family to create in her an idea of what a woman should be like.
Nan Xin has lived in such a family since she was a child, and the people closest to her have always instilled this concept in her. It is no wonder that she has such a personality.
This kind of subtle change cannot be realized overnight.
Wen Mianyu did not rush to point out Chen Kai's affair. If she told it now, Nan Xin would find it difficult to accept it at once and would be in a dilemma. It would be better to explain the concept to her little by little and let her understand the importance of self and loyalty.
"Miss Su, when do you plan to have a baby?" Nan Xin asked.
Wen Mianyu came back to her senses and smiled at her, "This is not something I planned. In fact, after I got married, I felt that everything was fine. But whether or not you can get pregnant is not up to me, but..."
Wen Mianyu changed the subject, "Although I don't have a baby yet, even if I do one day, I won't give up my beloved career. I can find two reliable nannies to help take care of the baby, take on some parent-child variety shows, and occasionally go out to film a movie, so that I can have a good balance between work and rest. When the baby is older, he can go to kindergarten. Miss Nan's baby is already in school, right?"
"Yeah, I started school last year..." Nan Xin paused, as if mustering up the courage, "I've thought about making a comeback, but I've been away from the industry for too long, and I've lost touch with many of my connections. Some of my friends have changed careers, and I feel like I can't compete with the newcomers again."
"Why do you say that?" Wen Mianyu walked down the stairs. "Young people have their advantages, but you also have yours. For example, your acting is better than theirs, and you have more experience. And I see that you are in great shape now. You can definitely play the role of a heroine."
"I'm afraid no director would want to use me." Nan Xin was still a little unconfident.
Wen Mianyu knew that this was because she had been stuck at home for too long, without any contact with the outside world, which made her feel insecure about many things and she was always afraid that she would not do well.
Wen Mianyu could only encourage him, "There's a shortage of beautiful women in ancient costume dramas right now. I think the director would be very willing to use you. Besides, isn't Chen Kai always active in the industry? It shouldn't be difficult to ask him to introduce you to some suitable roles, right?"
"This..." Nan Xin was a little embarrassed, her fingers entwined and twisted tightly. "Akai said that since I haven't acted in so long, it's better for me to stay at home. The money he earns is enough to support the family."
"Whether the money he earns is enough to support the family is not the problem. Anyone with a big name in the circle would earn enough. Acting is your dream, it's yours, not his. It has nothing to do with how much money he earns." Wen Mianyu emphasized the last sentence.
Nan Xin was stunned and became thoughtful.
"You can bring it up with him. Husband and wife are equal, so there's no need to just go along with him. He can do what he wants, and so can you. If the person I love wants to do what he loves, I'll be very supportive." Wen Mianyu said seriously and solemnly, "If he can't even understand you, I think you should reflect on your relationship and see if it's as good as you think."
Nan Xin opened her eyes slightly wide, revealing an incredible expression.
"I don't mean anything else, but sometimes blindly compromising is not a good idea. No one is anyone's appendage, right?" Wen Mianyu asked calmly.
"That's right." Nan Xin was just soft-hearted, but she was not confused, so she nodded in affirmation.
