Chapter 74 Breakup
Logically speaking, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is undoubtedly a pretty good thing.
Especially for an artist like Shu Ming, on the one hand, he is not yet a big star enough to give up such an opportunity to show his face in front of the whole country without hesitation.
On the other hand, there were not many TV programs that Shu Ming could watch when he was a child, and the Spring Festival Gala was really one of them. He grew up watching the Spring Festival Gala.
What's more, if he can really perform on the Spring Festival Gala, my aunt will definitely be proud of him. My aunt may not understand the dinners and ceremonies of other local TV stations, but a program like the CCTV Spring Festival Gala that is aimed at the whole country is still valuable in the eyes of the elders.
He should have agreed without hesitation, but Shu Ming thought about it and hesitated.
**
Since taking over Shu Ming a year ago, Guan Xianyi has never seen the two brothers quarrel.
She finally discovered that Zhuang Zheng was a complete brother-con!
Shu Ming usually doesn't want his brother to do everything for him, but Zhuang Zheng can't let him go.
Shu Ming's legs ached after standing all day filming, and he refused to let his brother help him. So, like a thief, he quietly slipped into the room to massage his brother's calves. He didn't say anything about the bumps and bruises on his body, but Zhuang Zheng was always the first to notice. If Shu Ming hadn't stopped him, he would have almost fed his brother his food...
As a result, these two brothers actually had a quarrel just for a Spring Festival Gala.
How strange!
However, it is not quite accurate to say that they quarreled, because even if there was a conflict, Shu Ming did not shout at his brother, and the two of them did not even slam the door.
But others could still see that Shu Ming was unhappy.
Chengzi was scared to death. It was the first time she saw Shu Ming's face so cold.
She didn't think anything of it on weekdays, but when Shu Mingzhen glanced at her coldly, she even got goosebumps!
The people around them didn't dare to breathe, for fear of becoming victims of the conflict between the two brothers. Fortunately, Shu Ming quickly reacted - he had not concealed his emotions well.
To this end, he specially treated the surrounding staff to afternoon tea for two days and distributed a lot of cold-resistant supplies to express his apology.
It made a group of people feel deeply moved.
Look, look!
This is what it means that the more famous a person is, the more humble he is.
In fact, Shu Ming did nothing wrong. He neither got angry at the people around him nor made any unreasonable demands.
At most, he is still young and not good at managing his facial expressions, so his face looks a little cold sometimes.
To be honest, these are really nothing, but people still care about them!
The crew members would also chat with each other and discuss privately: This is much better than the xx in the previous xx drama.
Some male stars are like this, they don’t have much ability but have a lot of demands.
Looking at it this way, it’s really not even comparable!
Shu Ming's expression had adjusted, but the conflict between the two brothers had not been resolved yet.
Guan Xianyi didn't know what the quarrel between them was about, but the person who tied the bell must untie it. Guan Xianyi felt that it was not in his place to interfere in their family affairs.
She only did one thing, which was to contact Zhang Su and discuss letting Shu Ming finish filming early.
**
In fact, other business activities are easy to deal with, the main thing is that Xiao Shu is still a young man, and the child has final exams to take!
Fortunately, Shu Ming is quite popular in the crew, and everyone is willing to work hard for him.
Everyone worked together and successfully finished filming a week ahead of schedule, which gave Shu Ming a little time to prepare for the final exam.
At first, Zhang Su completely forgot about this matter.
Most young actors in the entertainment industry either have no academic qualifications to show for themselves and just have a diploma, or they have graduated eight hundred years ago... Where is the point of a final exam?
So he originally wanted to hold a grand celebration banquet.
How should I put it? As he was filming the drama "Little Secret", he had a strong feeling that he was going to make a comeback after this drama.
Whether you can become famous or not is really a mystery.
Some dramas, such as "Little Secret", have exuded a mysterious aura of "I want to be famous" since the first day they were born.
Although the male lead is absolutely the number one, he not only does not make trouble, but also leads the entire crew to work hard.
He even surpassed the director's thinking and took over the role of the heroine.
In fact, there are rumors in the industry that Shu Ming is very dedicated and hardworking. Zhang Su scoffed at it at first.
What a joke! Who wouldn't be dedicated in a big director's crew? Try being unprofessional, and I'll throw you out in the next second!
He has been working hard in the idol industry for many years, and he has seen many smug faces of these young stars who look down on others after they become a little famous.
As a result, haha, Shu Ming is really dedicated and has improved the atmosphere of the entire team.
Zhang Su really wanted to say that he had never fought such a comfortable battle in his life.
Suddenly, I even regained the enthusiasm I had when I first entered the industry. As long as I focus on filming, I don’t have to worry about rectifying the messy atmosphere on the crew... I feel a little happy.
But this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that they did not deliberately promote it, and the online publicity was based on only some secretly taken pictures and videos.
Even his wife was a little confused. During their phone call, the couple even asked, "The drama you filmed recently starred Duan Miaozhu and Shu Ming. Are they a real couple?"
Zhang Su was at the same point of laughter and tears. Even after he denied it, his wife kept muttering like an ostrich, unwilling to believe it!
It is conceivable that the influence has already been spread, and they didn't even have to do anything.
It achieved the same effect as other dramas with a budget of hundreds of thousands without spending much money!
The only regret is that the tentative move during the early stages of filming irritated Shu Ming a bit...
It's not that he was annoyed. Shu Ming didn't express his displeasure about this matter very clearly, but he tried to win him over several times, and the other party maintained an attitude that was a bit close but actually businesslike.
Alas, Zhang Su knew that there was no hope this time.
But he doesn't regret it. He has a wife and children, and he is just protecting himself!
But although he said he had no regrets, after Shu Ming finished filming, Zhang Su still did not give up and wanted to hold a celebration banquet to entertain Shu Ming in an attempt to save the situation.
As a result, Guan Xianyi actually told him that Shu Ming had to go back to review for the final exam and could not stay in the crew any longer.
Oh...oh! Zhang Su thought vaguely -
Shu Ming's performance really made him forget that he was still a school-going kid!
He is young, has good acting skills, and can do things properly.
It really feels like the waves behind are pushing the waves in front.
**
However, before finishing the filming, Shu Ming did one extra thing.
He asked Duan Miaozhu for two autographed photos.
Duan Miaozhu was born as the "National Daughter" and has many mother fans.
"My college roommate's sister really likes you, and her birthday is coming up soon, so my roommate asked me to ask about it."
After Shu Ming finished speaking, he smiled, took the two photos she handed him, and thanked her.
Duan Miaozhu asked him, "When you didn't have any acting jobs, did you still live in the university dormitory?"
When I said it, I felt like laughing at myself - how is that possible?
Shu Ming replied naturally: "No, I've already checked out."
The two of them said goodbye to each other, and when Shu Ming returned to the car, Guan Xianyi asked about the autographed photo again.
If you don’t ask, you won’t know. If you ask, you’ll be shocked.
Even Guan Xianyi didn't know that he was still in contact with his college roommate!
Guan Xianyi expressed his sincere feelings and asked, "Aren't you tired?"
Maintaining social connections is actually quite exhausting. Guan Xianyi's own social circle is quite limited. If possible, she wouldn't want to contact anyone except one or two close friends...
It’s a pity that her job doesn’t allow her to do this. She really can’t imagine that there are such people in the world.
"I'm tired." Shu Ming picked up the photos and took a look. The two photos Duan Miaozhu handed over were both Polaroids. The girls in the photos were smiling brightly, looking like the girl next door. No wonder there were so many mom fans. "I know what you want to say, Sister Xianyi."
"I also know that relationships that require a lot of effort to maintain won't last long." Shu Ming spread his hands, surprisingly confident. "Anyway, I understand the logic, but I can't do it right now."
Maybe one day, he will really take the initiative to streamline his social circle, learn to respect and let go thoroughly, and let fate push each other to a crossroads.
But now Shu Ming is just a 19-year-old male college student who values friendship and loyalty.
So... please put aside all matters concerning the entertainment industry for now!
——The biggest challenge facing Xiao Shu is how to submit a satisfactory answer in the upcoming final exam.
While Shu Ming was reviewing, Liang Ruowen finally got the chance to meet him, which he had been longing for for a long time, and went to his house to express his condolences with some food.
And with this, he brought a piece of bombshell news that was like a thunderbolt.
Shu Ming was so shocked that even the biscuits in his hand lost their fragrance: "Is the film "Far Away" going to be postponed?"
Chen Mi didn't tell him.
Moreover, did Aurora Pictures even invest in "Far Away"?
"The old man who plays the head of the Huo family is not feeling well, so they might need a replacement... Wait a minute, I guess Chen Mi will contact you in the next few days."
This highly respected senior has many important roles in the play, so it is not easy to replace him all of a sudden.
"If we want to change it, there are some issues with investors involved, which is probably going to be very troublesome. A conservative estimate is that we have to wait at least another six months."
Liang Ruwen is actually optimistic about this: "In fact, it's okay if you join the crew a year later. Playing a 22-year-old at 20 or a 22-year-old at 21, although there is only a one-year difference, it is still a year less..."
Give Shu Ming a little time and he will grow rapidly and desperately.
For example, the Shu Ming that Liang Ruowen sees now and the Shu Ming he met a year ago are really two different people!
"Did Aurora also invest in this drama?"
"Didn't Chen Mi tell you? That's true," Liang Ruwen patiently explained. "His partner is a physics professor, Cui Mingzhe's younger sister's graduate advisor, so they've always been in contact. Besides, isn't 'Far Away' a film about Hong Kong?"
Liang Ruowen just smiled and said nothing.
Shu Ming was stunned for a moment, and a guess emerged in his mind: "Is this filming related to you?"
So smart!
Liang Ruwen immediately fully affirmed his words: "Yes, Chen Mi borrowed my old house for the filming."
"I thought..." Shu Ming tilted his head, thinking seriously, "Old houses are the kind you see in novels, the kind where lots of people live and there are lots of precious collections. Can we really rent them out for filming?"
"It has indeed been under construction for quite a long time." The implication is that the rumors that it contains many collections and is very valuable and luxurious are actually true.
"But no one lives there anymore. Only the specialists responsible for repairs and management still live there."
Seeing Shu Ming's rare interest, Liang Ruwen was also happy to share his own story with him: "My grandfather passed away very early. My grandmother felt that living in the old house was too empty and it was easy to miss him when seeing things, so she moved to another place to recuperate. That's why the old house is empty."
What Liang Ruowen did not mention was that his grandfather was a typical polygamous person in the early years. There was no affection between his grandparents, and after years of entanglement, there was only hatred between them.
This "seeing things reminds me of someone" is not the same as that "seeing things reminds me of someone", but there is no need to let Shu Ming know these.
Shu Ming cleaned up the biscuit crumbs on the table, ran to wash his hands, rushed back in a few steps, and curled himself up on the sofa.
Liang Ruowen was so touched by his cuteness that she almost forgot what she wanted to say.
"Since 'Far Away' is likely to be postponed, would you like to consider some of our new dramas...?"
Shu Ming stretched out a finger and waved it straight between the two of them: "No."
"Director Rong Ankang introduced me to an art film and asked me to play the male lead."
Previously, he lost an art film resource on his birthday, and the whole circle knew about it. Rong Ankang was afraid that his mental imbalance would affect the filming of "Chang'an Ashes", so he specially talked to him.
Later, Shu Ming fell seriously ill because of "Chang'an Ashes". During his illness, Rong Ankang contacted him and asked him if he was interested in a literary and artistic film resource.
Because of the conflict with "Far Away", he had originally planned to turn it down, but if "Far Away" could be postponed for half a year, this schedule would just fit in!
Although he didn't like Rong Ankang very much, he was treated coldly when he first joined the group...
Shu Ming has always been vindictive.
But, that’s the male lead!!!
Shu Ming slammed the little notebook of grudges in his heart shut.
Okay, then just pretend that I didn’t remember this page!
Well, temporarily.
**
What Guan Xianyi never expected was that the conflict between the two brothers became more and more intense.
What’s even more terrible is.
Shu Ming's eyes were red for a rare moment. Standing at the school gate, he had just taken off his mask a little bit to rub his nose when he was caught off guard by the paparazzi.
The internet was immediately flooded with rumors that Duan Miaozhu and Shu Ming had broken up, with details and details to prove their existence.
Some netizens even dug out the timeline, showing the date they were suspected of falling in love, the date they were suspected of being in a relationship, and the date they had a quarrel and broke up...
The information is complete and the event is grand.
You can tell at a glance that they came prepared!
