Chapter 104: Stripping
Director Chen called people to prepare the clothes, and the reading had to continue——
The male protagonist was unconscious in the car accident, but luckily he survived.
When I woke up again, I felt the sky was shaking and the earth was swaying.
A truly gorgeous room with crisp white, soft pillows.
After his clothes were changed, he rushed to the window to look out, and saw a vast ocean outside!
He unexpectedly got on a ferry without knowing where he was going!
He forced himself to remain calm and searched through all the drawers and cabinets in the room, but he couldn't find a ticket, an ID, or even any useful clue.
What’s going on?!
He was sweating profusely, his shirt almost soaked with sweat, and just when he was about to grab the door handle in desperation, he wanted to try to go out and check.
A piece of paper was stuffed through the gap in the door frame and fell lightly at his feet.
Such a small and light piece of paper.
He did not have the ability to predict the future, and it was even more difficult for him to predict that his fate would be turned upside down because of such a trivial piece of paper.
He just looked at it quietly for two seconds, then bent down to pick it up.
The edges of the note were uneven, the handwriting was clear, but it was written in traditional Chinese.
Positive: "All debts are written off."
He squinted his eyes, feeling the ink seeping through. He turned it over and saw, as expected, there was more: "From today on, you are Huo Jingtian."
Huo Jingtian? Isn't that the name of the rich young man he's following?
Before I could react, there was a knock on the cruise ship door.
He subconsciously crumpled the note into a ball and hid it.
"Come in."
The waiter in a suit and vest stood respectfully in front of the door: "The banquet is about to begin, Master, please go over as soon as possible."
"knew."
He couldn't grasp the situation, so, adhering to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, he simply lowered his brows. He thought the waiter would leave after receiving the reply, but who knew that after a while, the door was still open.
The waiter stood there like a puppet, casting a little shadow brought by the light.
"Master, please go over there as soon as possible."
This is what "escort" means.
No wonder he had to change his clothes.
"Huo Jingtian" is now wearing a suit suitable for a banquet.
Coincidentally, his hair was a carefully styled one in S City, and it was very popular at the moment! His clean, fluffy hair was parted in the 7:30 style, with light layers draped over his jade-like face. Even if you pointed at him and said he was a popular Hong Kong star, no one would doubt it.
As he passed by the mirror, he glanced at the person in the mirror, a familiar but suddenly unfamiliar face.
Who took him here?
Where is this cruise ship heading?
But now he had no choice but to attend the banquet.
Well, he is just like the duckweed in the water. His life is not in his own hands. He should have gotten used to it long ago.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and then strode to the waiter: "Lead the way."
Outside the cruise ship, the sky gradually darkened and the waves turned into a rich blue-black.
Inside the cruise ship, the air was filled with the clamor of clinking glasses and elegantly dressed people. Huo Jingtian suddenly felt dizzy and unable to control himself. He couldn't help but reach out and hold onto the wooden railing on the second floor, gazing carefully into the magnificent hall.
This was a luxury he had never experienced in his short twenty-one years, even at the cost of his own life.
There's a saying that people always feel something when their fate is at an intersection. Huo Jingtian felt just like that right now—his hair stood on end, tiny goose bumps covered his body, a mixture of fear and timidity, yet also an indescribable excitement.
What awaits him ahead is the guillotine or a ladder to success?
He took a deep breath calmly and then walked slowly down.
At the end of the spiral staircase, another tall man, as if he had known him for years, introduced him to everyone in fluent and natural Cantonese: "This is my fourth brother, Huo Jingtian, who just returned from China."
Then switch to Mandarin: "Jingtian, come and say hello to everyone!"
Huo Jingtian stopped at the second to last step of the stairs.
Do you really want to come down?
The next step would indicate that he was about to officially step into this treacherous world of fame and fortune.
His mouth was dry and his heart was racing, but then he thought carefully - what was the point of thinking so much? It was too late to regret now.
He is already standing here, does he still have any choice?
All his thoughts flashed in a flash, and Huo Jingtian's steps paused barely noticeable.
When she stood next to the man, not knowing his rank, she simply smiled and called out, "Brother."
Sun Yi, who played the elder brother, lowered his head slightly and looked at him. They both smiled, showing a harmonious atmosphere of brotherly love and respect.
But no one can know what you are thinking in your heart.
——It’s really good!
Compared to the first time Chen Mi met Shu Ming, this kid has a deeper understanding of the character!
The pause before picking up the piece of paper, the white fingertips gripping the edge of the table, the hesitation when raising his foot to stand next to Sun Yi... all give his performance a full sense of breathability and rhythm.
This is a key plot full of doubts and keeping the audience in suspense. Shu Ming's performance makes the story more vivid and tortuous.
This guy even deliberately designed some transitions to connect the states. Such a mature "director" perspective that belongs to him alone can be said to be a real leap forward!
Not to mention the ambition that danced, burned, and glowed in Shu Ming's eyes like a faint flame. As he leaned on the edge of the conference room table, using it as a railing to look out, an almost expressionless solemnity appeared on his face.
And now, what is the solemn fourth young master of the Huo family doing?
"I think... well, I need a pair of height-enhancing shoes!"
Shu Ming recently wore a pair of thin-soled Dexterity shoes, looking very youthful and beautiful. Sun Yi is a little taller than him, and the thickness of the shoes makes the height difference between the two of them subtly widen - in other words, he needs to look up slightly to see Sun Yi!
"The hero's aura is gone. How can this be?" He circled around Sun Yi for a short while, and was forced to look up at him for the second time.
He scratched his cheek: It's so strange, last time Sun Yi played his father, this time I play the older brother, although he is the oldest brother.
Because of his multiple connections with Shu Ming, Sun Yi doted on him and was actually willing to kneel down in a serious manner, trying to be on the same level with him.
Shu Mingcai was not alienated from him. He immediately climbed up the pole, moved closer, and put his head against his. With one stroke of his hand, he made a gesture -
Hey, it’s really high on one side!
"That's right..."
Shu Ming was not satisfied with being level with Sun Yi, so he tried to raise his feet to make himself taller. Sun Yi then squatted down a little more to cooperate with him, which made the boy raise his chin proudly: "Okay, I'm 1.88 meters tall now!"
The staff responsible for shooting the behind-the-scenes footage immediately pointed the camera at them, and the two of them immediately made an identical rustic scissors hand gesture, with even the distance between their fingers being almost the same, which made everyone burst into laughter.
In short, this kid got into the game and started to become more and more demanding, and he became so arrogant and talkative that it was beyond measure.
Of course, the hero of this drama will be in a much worse state than he is now: later on, Huo Jingtian will use sweet words to deceive the wife arranged for him by the Huo family, while spending a lot of money to invite Miss Hong Kong to dinner.
In addition, he also spent lavishly at the casino, losing tens of millions in a single night; bidding wildly above the market price at an auction house, then ripping off his suit and passing out drunk in Hong Kong's largest cabaret...
Although Huo Jingtian knows that he is walking a tightrope and creating a persona, there is such a flamboyant side to his personality!
That state was even more cocky than Shu Ming's current state, more like a fox with many tricks. Everyone in the crew also understood that he was slowly getting into the mood, so of course they didn't disturb him and let him flirt with everyone one by one.
Of course, as fate would have it, no one can escape the consequences. Not long after, he was caught by the styling director who had received the new suit.
"Change now!"
Shu Ming raised his hands in surrender and took two steps back with a smile: "Right away, right away!"
Without waiting for the other party to urge him repeatedly, he quickly entered the empty lounge next to him, pulled the curtains, and began to slowly take off his clothes.
Although he was wearing a shirt today, he always wore loose and comfortable cotton shirts, which were not suitable for a full suit like this, so he could only take them off and change into new ones.
As it has been drizzling for the past two days, it is inevitable that outer shoes will bring some dirty mud, water and sand into the house. These suits are all hand-sewn. Shu Ming cherishes the fruits of other people's labor and is afraid that they will get too dirty and difficult to clean, so he is very careful when putting them on, and his movements are naturally slower.
In the conference room, the styling director waited for a long time, but no one showed up. He frowned and grabbed someone nearby and said, "Go and help me check. Why hasn't he come out yet?"
**
What kind of character is Huo Jingtian?
Li Chen twirled the pen between his fingers, wondering how to differentiate his character from the other party.
He plays a similarly playboy, a second son of the Huo family who has been abandoned by his parents. Upon meeting Huo Jingtian, he feels he has found a kindred spirit. The two hit it off immediately, and they spend a decadent and extravagant life enjoying the spotlight.
Li Chen originally planned to play a lighter role. After all, the book has a clear characterization of the second brother. This guy really doesn't have that much ambition and aspirations. It's one thing that he is spoiled by his family, and it's another thing that he is just like that by nature.
Respecting the original work has always been his creed.
But he just made eye contact with Shu Ming... When Huo Jingtian held the railing and looked down, he was holding onto his desk!
So, he could watch Shu Ming's performance up close and in broad daylight.
How was the original work written?
The author only wrote that when Huo Jingtian saw such a grand scene, he felt both longing and inferiority, as well as an inflated and uncontrollable ambition.
But the moment he and Shu Ming's eyes met, his biggest reaction was... his eyes looked so sad.
They were so close that Li Chen almost felt an involuntary deep sadness for his fate.
Huo Jingtian, where will you go? How many wolves and tigers will you face, how many crises between life and death will you face? Do you know what a painful price you will pay for this?
Do you know? Don't you know?
The charm of the character is almost fully displayed in such eyes. How many audiences will be impressed by such rich complexity.
And next, it will be his turn to play opposite Shu Ming!
Should he reconsider his interpretation of his role?
Li Chen did not retreat. Instead, he felt an indescribable thrill of excitement, feeling proud to have such an opponent. However, while he was immersed in his thoughts, he was suddenly grabbed by the styling director's arm.
“…Go and take a look!”
The styling director still had to discuss the plan with the director, and there were no assistants available on the scene, so he just randomly picked up some capable men.
Li Chen had no choice but to put down the pen and paper in his hand and quietly push open the door of the next room.
The door creaked open.
A figure almost fully dressed appeared before my eyes.
The man was looking down, putting the belt firmly across his waist.
Then he stretched out his arm and pulled, tightening it completely. The belt was tightly wrapped around an extremely thin waist, and the metal buckle was fastened with a "click".
Then, the man slowly turned his head, and a ray of light leaking from the curtains condensed on his outline.
The pair of eyes that had just appeared repeatedly in Li Chen's mind were now looking at him with a smile: "Have you been waiting for a long time? I'll be there soon."
What should I say?
Li Chen was speechless for a few seconds.

The author has something to say: Hehe, not taking off the clothes is more seductive than taking them off. Who supports it and who opposes it?
