“But…” Li Shu shut up. There was no but. He was famous. The masked man was famous, not him, Li Shu.
Zhou Yiyang's eyes fell on a sentence in the script-killing video: "He became a symbol, pushed out by the times."
Li Erjie's attitude also changed. She knew that Li Shu was the masked man. She and Yin Hong had a rivalry.
Zhou Yiyang took the photo.
"Do you like him? Has he done it with you?" Li Erjie was wearing a short floral skirt and put her feet on the chair, showing off her plump white legs.
"I'm just his fan." Yin Hong looked surprised: "Why do you think so?"
"A fan?" Li Erjie couldn't understand this woman. She was clearly about the same age as her, yet she was as innocent as a young girl.
"He's a big star, and I'm a fan. Our relationship is purely one of star-chasing."
In front of Jiang Biyun, Su Yin's performance seemed a bit immature.
However, Zhou Yiyang will not make any changes to the whole shot.
There are two relatively important supporting characters in the script.
One is the internet celebrity Xiao An, so naturally the role was given to Lin Xuaner.
The other one is Yin Hong’s ex-husband, so Zhou Yiyang can only come.
Xiao An and Li Shu are in the same city. When she learned the story of the masked brother, she rushed to the small park.
Now Li Shu has quit his job and performs in the small park every day.
There were a lot of people watching, and even more people watching his live broadcast.
Li Shu is already a skilled internet celebrity.
Every day he plays the masked man, performing various classic plays in front of the camera, speaking strange lines. Then, according to the audience's request, he speaks inspiring chicken soup with passion and emotion.
"Masked Brother!" Xiao An waited until Li Shu finished his performance before rushing over to his side. "I'm Xiao An, and I'm also a TikTok celebrity."
"I know you." Li Shu had seen her video before.
"Why don't you show your face?" Xiao An was very curious.
Is it true that under the mask of the masked man there is a burned face as rumored?
According to rumors, Mask Brother was originally a student at a film academy. One day, a fire broke out in the house he rented. He survived but his face was disfigured.
So he put on a mask and repeated the play he had performed in class in a secluded little park.
The story is so touching that the audience is willing to believe it.
They need such a tragic inspirational character to comfort themselves.
"I can't show it." Li Shu stood up vigilantly.
Zhou Yiyang was taking pictures of them, but he was thinking about how he would perform later.
"Is it because you are really disfigured under the mask?" Xiao An pressed on.
Li Shu ignored her and left.
The popularity of internet celebrities is short-lived, and Li Shu found that he was becoming less and less popular.
So when a well-known TV station invited him to be on a show, Li Shu agreed.
"We are not short of money." Yin Hong still lives in Li Shu's house.
"I can't be out of fashion." Li Shu walked around the room and suddenly got angry: "Where are my mask and my costume?"
He can no longer live without them.
"Wash it." Yin Hong took a bite of the tomato, and the bright red sauce stained her teeth.
Li Shu went on the show and met Xiao An again.
At the host's instruction, Xiao An made a request: "Mask brother, we all want to know what you look like without the mask."
Li Shu had no choice this time, he picked it.
He was pushed off the altar when the audience discovered that he was just an ordinary middle-aged man.
The TV station did make enough money from traffic.
But Li Shu was completely out of fashion because of this. Everyone said he was a liar, and he didn't dare to wear a mask anymore.
One day, Yin Hong came home and smelled the smell of barbecue.
Li Shu burned his face with fire.
He excitedly turned on the live broadcast: "Hey guys, I'm disfigured! I'm Masked Brother!"
He was banned from the live streaming platform for corrupting minors.
"Li Shu has gone crazy." Li Erjie told everyone she met that she secretly went to the hospital to have an abortion.
Yin Hong goes to the small park every day to watch Li Shu's performance.
"You acted really well, Li Shu."
"Who is Li Shu? I'm the masked man!"
The Spring Festival is here in the blink of an eye.
Yin Hong's ex-husband is back.
He came to take Yin Hong home.
Zhou Yiyang quickly got into the mood: "Yin Hong, follow me!"
"Let her go!" Li Shu seemed to suddenly wake up and stood in front of Yin Hong.
But Yin Hong didn't tell Li Shu that she had escaped from home and her ex-husband was a violent sadist.
"You bitch! You betrayed me!" The ex-husband took out a fruit knife and stabbed it into Li Shu's waist.
One year later.
Yin Hong left, and she traveled around with the mask on her back. Every time she arrived at a scenic spot, she put on the mask and took a selfie.
"Card!"
Su Yin’s performance at the end was very touching. Every time she took off her mask, her smile made people cry.
Tang Yue took off her wig, feeling very depressed. She was so immersed in the role, and thinking back on this story, it was too painful.
Jiang Biyun applauded enthusiastically, "It was a really good performance. Director Zhou, please give me a copy of the video later so I can watch it myself."
Zhou Yiyang nodded and sent the short film to Director Chang.
