Chapter 113: Punched
There will not be any chicken legs, and it is impossible to have them.
I could only drink a cup of quick tea with Chan Kong-sang who came to visit me on set.
Or the version without sugar or lemon, just ice.
"Can't you even have a cup of tea?" Chen Gangsheng looked at his profile and felt that Shu Mingqing had lost a lot of weight, but his facial features had a bit more of the delicate feeling he had when he was eighteen years old.
She is very beautiful, but also very fragile, so Chen Gangsheng even speaks very carefully, for fear that a harsh word might break the glass shell of this person.
Shu Ming placed the tea on the simple table beside him and said sadly, "You don't understand."
People who are not trying to lose weight may find it difficult to understand how many extra calories a cup of lemon tea will produce, which is equivalent to wasting a whole day's exercise.
Alas, the tea is bitter, but not as bitter as he feels in his heart.
They still keep in touch, but they don't visit each other as often.
Shu Ming has a heavy workload, and so does Chan Kong-sang. With his current output, he's on the verge of replacing his mentor, Chan Chi-heng, as the new model lyricist in the Hong Kong music scene!
Not to mention the normal workload he has.
Upon hearing that Shu Ming was about to release a new album, this guy not only gave Shu Ming several hidden songs from his master, but also personally completed the remaining number for Shu Ming's new album. This was still not enough, and he also had to rack his brains to compose lyrics for "Far Away", both in Cantonese and Mandarin.
Chen Gangsheng dedicated almost all of his masterpieces, all his insights into love, friendship, and life, and the most beloved lyrics in his life to Shu Ming.
Among them, there were several poems that were not given to me even though the queen came to ask for them in person one day!
What singer has never dreamed of receiving the world's favor in such a fair and open manner by an excellent lyricist?
But for Chan Kong-sang, Shu Ming is the source of many of his inspirations, and letting Shu Ming himself perform is naturally the best solution.
This leaves others speechless!
In fact, Chen Zhiheng doted on Shu Ming, otherwise he wouldn't have risked giving Shu Ming an entire album when he was still an unknown artist. The songs that followed weren't so much Chen Gangsheng taking them from his mentor as they were Chen Zhiheng's tacit approval.
Being favored by both a master and apprentice lyricist is something that other singers can only envy.
There is really no need to go on. If I continue, I don’t know how many people will be admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment due to conjunctivitis!
In addition, there is Liang Ruwen...
Yes, after several years, Liang Ruowen finally released a new album.
Fans thought that he would not release a new album related to love, but unexpectedly, not only did he release one unexpectedly, but the entire album was about secret love, and Chan Kong-sang even contributed a song to it.
This made fans think that Liang Ruwen, the iron tree that never blooms for a thousand years, was in love. The paparazzi followed him for a month, and it turned out that his daily routine couldn't be more regular. He either went between the company and his residence, or promoted his album.
The most extra schedule was meeting with Cui Mingzhe and others, and occasionally going to a romantic restaurant twice, and the person he had dinner with turned out to be Shu Ming!
Okay, okay, let’s go!
The fans immediately sighed, feeling that their excitement was in vain.
These guys have been friends for several years, and this matter is already known to everyone in the entertainment industry. What's so good about filming it?
The only explanation is that he released this album on a whim, or that he just had enough good songs to make up an album like this. There is no other explanation.
"...Since Leo Liang just released an album, I definitely can't squeeze in with him, so it will probably be a few months later."
Shu Ming tapped his chin, thoughtfully.
But "Far Away" is scheduled to be released in October, and it cannot conflict with the OST of "Far Away". The specific release date needs to be discussed with Guan Xianyi.
But that's easy to say.
The current stuck point is actually Chan Kong-sang. The lyrics for the Cantonese version have been finalized, but he himself is not very satisfied with the Mandarin version.
Normally, such lyricists and composers were not qualified to enter the set to watch, but with Shu Ming as a guarantor, Chen Mi agreed immediately.
Therefore, this gave Chen Gangsheng the opportunity to visit the set.
At this moment, the two good friends gathered together, and there was really a magnetic field that no one else could get into. Shu Ming unconsciously bit the tea straw, but quickly put down the cup, rested his elbows on his knees, and listened to Chen Gangsheng's speech with a smile.
Is it really that delicious? Her smile is so bright.
Xi Jia stared at him for a while, but before he could get closer to see what he was drinking, someone else got there first.
Li Chen passed by him inadvertently and patted Shu Ming's shoulder first: "Let's go, Teacher Shu, it's time to start work."
**
The relationship between people is quite wonderful.
For example, outside of the play, Shu Ming actually rarely communicates with Xi Jia.
No, it’s not just that they communicate less, they are even quite wary of each other.
He was obviously more familiar with Li Chen and other actors.
But in the play, Huo Jingtian is closer to Zhao Wenzhuo.
No matter how stern Zhao Wenzhuo's face was, he would always receive a smiling "Secretary Zhao" from Huo Jingtian. After they got along for a long time, Huo Jingtian called him "Brother Zhao" and gave him an arm in a familiar manner.
Perhaps Huo Jingtian was also pretending and being cautious, but after all, they really trusted each other and their feelings were real.
As long as the script manager hits the board, there will always be that graceful figure coming and going by Zhao Wenzhuo's side, and there will always be that familiar voice.
Contrary to what happens outside the play, Huo Jingtian is actually more wary of Huo Jingxuan.
It’s just that the fool Huo Jingxuan couldn’t see it.
This inevitably makes people feel divided.
The emotions inside and outside the play are both separated and mixed together, eventually becoming a very strange feeling.
So he kept watching.
It is possible that Zhao Wenzhuo is also observing.
Observe how Huo Jingtian in the play harbored great ambitions in the cabin on his way back to Hong Kong, and how he became famous just after arriving in Hong Kong, replacing the eldest brother of the Huo family and becoming the default "Little Mr. Huo" in people's mouths.
Huo Jingtian also knew that a big tree attracts the wind.
But how many people can completely avoid being blinded by such glitz and glamour? While he was vigilant, he also had some unrealistic delusions.
The so-called sober degeneration - after all, he is still a gangster who is greedy for power and wealth, isn't he?
Just because a pheasant is covered with feathers, can it be called a phoenix?
The answer is no.
The Huo family would never allow a fake like him to be so proud.
Huo Jingtian seems to be in high spirits, but in fact he is just a fool who only clings to industry.
At first, he was tied up simply because it was the fastest and most economical method.
After all, the debt he owed in S City was a drop in the bucket for the Huo family. Rather than spending time sorting out the branch's mess, it would be easier to just send a scapegoat to jail.
You can also clean the inside and cut off the rotten parts.
If Huo Laosi really comes back, he will be the scapegoat.
It doesn't matter if it's fake, just having this name is enough. They say it's real, who dares to say it's fake?
But no one expected that Huo Jingtian would actually come back alive from Africa.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
But it doesn't matter.
There are ten thousand ways to bring him down.
**
The Huo family launched a series of offensives in an effort to regain control of the branch. Huo Jingtian countered each move and contributed many exciting scenes.
I don't know whether I should breathe a sigh of relief or sigh.
All I can say is that what is coming will eventually come.
Fortunately, his good friend Zhao Wenzhuo temporarily stood neutral out of friendship and did not get involved in this turmoil.
Fortunately, Huo Jingtian himself has always had good luck with noble people, and even received help from his former competitors.
For example, the Li family, which has always been at odds with the Huo family, extended an olive branch to him.
In front of the elegantly seated eldest daughter of the Li family, Huo Jingtian neither refused nor agreed.
He just took a sip of tea, showing no emotion.
At that time, Huo Jingtian probably thought that it was just a business dispute.
After getting more bargaining chips, it is not impossible to negotiate with the Huo family again.
But the turning point soon came.
People always have to completely shatter their illusions and face the bloody reality -
In recent days, Shu Ming has been given extremely long lines. To make matters worse, the next two scenes are crucial and will involve intense emotional outbursts.
Guan Xianyi was afraid that he couldn't bear it, so he asked Zhuang Zheng to stuff a candy into his mouth. But this kid was still able to talk to Li Chen and the others about the play with his new hairstyle.
Speaking of Shu Ming's styling, it really took a lot of effort from many people.
After all, in the original novel, Huo Jingtian is actually a very conceited and fashionable person.
In the play, he quietly tried many new hairstyles, whether it was a middle part, a side part, or a slicked back hairstyle, straight hair, curly hair, or a tied hair. He always took care of his hair until the ends were exquisite every day before appearing on stage with a smile.
This is true even in the scene in Africa.
Therefore, the entire crew can be called "Mr. Huo's mobile wardrobe". The styling director hangs around Shu Ming every day like dressing up a doll. Even if it is the same suit, the matching cuffs, bow tie and leather shoes always have exquisite little ideas to conform to Huo Jingtian's own philosophy of life.
Everyone looks forward to Shu Ming's new look every day, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to it - hey, what a handsome action figure with a small head and face, long arms, broad shoulders, thin waist and long legs, and it can be dressed up in any way.
Then he glanced at the styling director: Humph, it feels good to dress you up, huh?
But these scenes are particularly different.
Huo Jingtian was on the verge of an emotional outburst and no longer had the heart to dress up. He rushed into the Huo family's old house in the heavy rain, with the ends of his hair wet. Of course, it was impossible for him to use hair wax to style his hair.
So Shu Ming's hairstyle became fluffy, naturally hanging black and smooth hair.
Coupled with the "wet hair ends" carefully created by the stylist, it looks like a puppy drenched in the rain.
What a burst of inspiration!
This group of people felt that it was not enough, so they forced Shu Ming to stand in front of the mirror and refused to let him leave.
After several people whispered and discussed for a long time, not only did they let Shu Ming's slightly longer hair stick to the sides of his face, but they also deliberately wet his shirt, highlighting his thin, fragile and sharp bones, and a waist that could almost be held with both hands.
When he appeared on stage again, my eyes were wide open.
Oh, how should I put it, this is an indescribable taste...
The stylist was taking a lot of behind-the-scenes photos with his mobile phone, but unfortunately, they had signed a confidentiality agreement, so Shu Ming's current appearance could not be shown to everyone.
This kind of theatrical flavor is really charming.
Especially for a person who is used to showing off his strength, revealing this side of him will often arouse the desire to protect and destroy others.
She hoped that he would stop showing this expression of being on the verge of tears, but she also hoped that he would lie on her knees and cry, leaving wet marks all over the fabric.
Huo Jingtian, the omnipotent character in the play, has such vulnerable moments when he takes off his smiling face.
The expressions of everyone on the set immediately became exciting.
Shu Ming noticed something, but he was still flipping through the script with a candy in his mouth. He frowned and pushed his tongue forward, leaving a small bulge on his cheek.
With his smooth hair, he actually looks a lot younger... No! This kid is the youngest to begin with.
Alas, I was led astray by the plot.
No, he is also the youngest in the drama!
Oh, wait, can’t you wait for the time it takes for a piece of sugar to melt?
Let them finish their meal slowly.
Why are you in such a hurry?
**
The turning point came just before the shareholders' meeting.
How could it be such a coincidence?
What a coincidence.
Huo Jingtian's capable subordinates who had accompanied him all the way from Africa and America suddenly "found their conscience" and publicly accused Huo Jingtian of illegal activities, falsifying financial statements, and deceiving the public in front of various media outlets...
Then, he jumped down from the Huo family's tall building.
At that time, Huo Jingtian even happened to run into the other party's daughter on the road.
The little girl tugged at his clothes and after receiving the gift, her mother taught her to say “Thank you, uncle”.
But when I turned around again, I saw a bloody face.
...That night, there was thunder and lightning.
Huo Jingtian braved the heavy rain and drove straight into the Huo family's old house.
Unexpectedly, all the characters were there.
In a cold, old, decayed house, there is an English dining table under the light.
It was a rare occasion for the four members of the Huo family to gather together, and even Zhao Wenzhuo, the half-adopted son, was there.
Everyone faced the cold light and looked straight at him, the uninvited guest, with a very similar expression without any emotion.
Everyone was sitting upright except him, holding a wet umbrella and refusing to let the servant take it. He stood in front of the door in a mess, like an ornamental animal for entertainment.
Deathly silence.
The rain is getting heavier.
The light of lightning passed through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating his face for a moment.
Only Boss Huo took action.
At this time, he still had to maintain the so-called appearance. He smiled and stood up and patted Huo Jingtian's shoulder affectionately: "Fourth brother is here... Come quickly, sit down."
He then instructed, "Bring another set of tableware."
Huo Jingtian felt disgusted and even nauseous about this.
So he curled his lips and smiled coldly.
He casually threw the umbrella full of dirty water beside him, making a loud "bang" sound.
Then, before anyone could react, he suddenly grabbed Boss Huo by the collar and used all his strength—
He threw a punch straight at the door!
-----------------------
The author has something to say: "Far Away" was really hard to write...
I torture myself every day and work overtime.
It really brings tears...but I still have to say it.
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
