Chapter 14 Characters
[Character setting: The setting of characters in novels and reality (especially in the entertainment industry) often collapses due to the author's poor writing skills or the actor's lack of acting skills. 】
Two days after returning, the chaotic and dreamy trip to Hong Kong still frequently appeared in Meng Chu's mind.
He often raised his hand for no apparent reason and covered his forehead, triggering many inquiries of "Do you have a fever?"
Maybe. This mixture of hotness all over the body, rapid heartbeat, and a slight dizziness is almost like having a fever.
Fortunately, the meteorological instrument project was accepted, his tense nerves relaxed, and he had the leisure to immerse himself in the ocean of erratic emotions.
However, leisure time is such a luxury that it soon disappears due to various emergencies.
Just after finishing three classes - fortunately without encountering a supervisor - Meng Chu received a message from the Dean's Office that the college had invited a professor from the University of Technology to give a lecture on how to use big models and knowledge graphs to create smart classrooms. The expert would arrive at the airport at noon tomorrow, and he had to go to greet him.
Meng Chu replied "OK", and then thought for the hundredth time whether he should buy a car. Every time he received such a task, he had to take an online taxi to and from the airport, and it was difficult for the driver to wait for too long at the airport.
He immediately felt sad because the reason he bought the car was not for commuting or traveling, but to be a free driver for the school.
Not long after the red dot in the dean's office lit up, a message from the head of the academic affairs group popped up again, asking him if he had ever won the Daichuang award. He remembered seeing it on Meng Chu's resume.
Meng Chu replied yes.
Then the team leader said that his son was participating and asked if he could give some guidance.
Meng Chu choked.
The school has divided various competitions into different levels. When applying for admission to graduate school, each level will give different points, and the major innovation competition has the highest score among them.
If a student wins an award, the teacher who guides the student will also receive extra research points, which will be counted as part of the performance review at the end of the year.
But the son of the Dean of Academic Affairs is not from Lin University, so Meng Chu cannot get any points for this.
Meng Chu bit his lip, his fingers hovered over the keyboard for a long time, and finally sent a message "OK, let me take a look."
The head of the academic affairs group is in charge of class scheduling. Meng Chu has always wanted to finish the two courses in one day and free up several whole days to do scientific research. Help first, help first and talk later.
The head of the academic affairs group thanked him, but before Meng Chu could reply, a new message popped up.
This time it was organized by the school's talent department. It said that during May Day, the city planned to hold a job fair to attract outstanding talents, and invited students who had passed the entrance exam from Lincheng and were studying in 985 universities to participate. Representatives from various universities, research institutes and enterprises will introduce the employment situation of their units to students, hoping that they can return to their hometowns after graduation and add to Lincheng's talent pool.
As - he no longer wants to hear this term - "Doctor Sanqing", a representative of the city's talent introduction, Meng Chu not only had to attend the meeting, but also had to prepare a PPT and speech.
Meng Chu was in a trance for a moment.
Is he a teacher now?
Picking up and dropping off professors, tutoring kids, giving free lectures… isn’t this similar to when I was a doctoral student?
No, that's not right. Now, he also has to apply for projects, build a laboratory bench, pay laboratory rent and utilities, and support his students.
The depressed mood was so intense that Meng Chu had to exit the chat interface and stare at the green plants, imagining himself as a dull leaf that only needed to silently convert oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Miscellaneous tasks are also an important part of university work. He repeated it over and over again. These days, who can focus on research without distraction? Everyone has come this far.
Two minutes later, he replied with a third "OK".
He put his phone down and slumped back in his office chair, even his glasses drooping down in frustration.
The cell phone rang again.
Meng Chu stared at the screen and felt that the emotion surging in his heart might be the so-called "murderous intent."
Although he couldn't kill anyone, he could only slash at the air for a while and then slip away furry.
Okay, what kind of crappy event is he going to participate in?
He took a look at the only object he dared to be violent towards - the screen of his cell phone - and saw that it was a message from Fu Guanshan.
Subconsciously, he let out a long sigh, and the air became lighter.
What weird words is this guy going to say again?
He clicked on the message and saw a message with a picture.
Fu Guanshan: Group photo after the filming, with a map of the entertainment industry included.
Meng Chu looked at the photo, and despite there being many celebrities in it, he still found Fu Guanshan at a glance. The protagonist does have a reason to be the protagonist.
Above the heads of other people, there was a line of small words with the person’s name written on it, and a downward arrow pointing to the corresponding star.
Meng Chu matched the names and faces as if he was memorizing a list of students.
He made breakthrough progress in his understanding of the entertainment industry.
Fu Guanshan sent another message: I gave a little hint about our wedding, and the effect was amazing! ! !
Meng Chu looked at the excessive number of exclamation marks, and the scene of the other party showing off complacently and exaggeratedly emerged in his mind, and he smiled unconsciously.
Every time Fu Guanshan appears, it is like leaping from the cruel reality into a romantic movie. The boring and complicated daily life suddenly becomes easy, comfortable and dreamy, floating and unreal.
Meng Chu held his face, enlarged the photo, and traced the sunny face with his fingers.
This day isn't so bad.
He walked to the door, carefully stuck his head out and looked into the corridor. There was no one there. He checked several social apps and found no interview or meeting.
He sat back stealthily, opened the browser and typed in "Fu Guanshan's works".
A lot of entries popped up, and he first clicked on Douban and sorted them by ratings. During his obscure period, Fu Guanshan made up for quality with quantity, appearing in many bad dramas. There are as many as 12 TV dramas with a score below 6. It is impossible to watch all of them, so Meng Chu directly jumped to his famous work "Xiangyang", which received polarized ratings.
The whole series has 78 episodes.
Meng Chu made a prompt decision - to go watch the actor interview first.
Great, only 5 minutes.
Meng Chu looked at the closed door guiltily again and clicked play.
In the camera, Fu Guanshan was dressed in casual clothes, sitting upright and straight, with a friendly and calm expression, which made Meng Chu very uncomfortable. The reporter did not say anything, and the question popped up through the bubble in the lower right corner.
——"Everyone thinks you are playing Xie Zhao in your true colors, is that right?"
Fu Guanshan thought seriously - another awkward part - and then answered, "Not really. Xie Zhao is a thoughtful and sociable person. He has friends from all walks of life. I'm actually a rather dull person in life."
Is dull what he understood it to mean? !
While suppressing the urge to look up the dictionary, Meng Chu picked up the water cup, took a sip, and watched the new bubbles pop up.
——"What do you usually do when you are not filming?"
Fu Guanshan said: "Read a book."
The water in Meng Chu's mouth sprayed out.
He quickly took out a tissue to wipe the screen, and continued with his face under the water stains: "As you know, I don't have a high level of education and my family is average. In the first few years after my debut, I was in the group all year round and didn't have much time to improve myself. But I think it is important to maintain the habit of learning, so I am studying hard."
Meng Chu suppressed the distortion of his expression and took a sip of water.
——"How would you rate your appearance?"
"70."
The water in Meng Chu's mouth spurted out again.
What…what is this? !
Drops of water slid across Fu Guanshan's sincere face: "I always think I'm quite ordinary. You can pick anyone like me on the streets of Hengdian."
Meng Chu couldn't catch his breath and coughed violently. The vibration to his chest was comparable to that of an asteroid hitting the earth.
Ah...this...ah? !
The reporter commented with bubbles: "How can it be so low!"
"Xie Zhao's character is a handsome man," the person on the screen continued to intensify Meng Chu's coughing, "I'm very afraid that I won't be able to meet everyone's expectations. I feel embarrassed to hear those lines praising Xie Zhao's appearance."
Meng Chu's eyes were fixed on the screen until they were almost cramped.
——"You are so modest! We all think you deserve it."
Fu Guanshan? ? modesty? ?
Meng Chu finished listening to the interview with trembling hands, then scrolled down to the comments section, which was filled with praise.
-This is considered normal, those new ugly ancient idol men should die!
-Xie Zhao himself! Neiyu is a rare actor who looks intelligent and smart.
-Our teacher Fu is still as sincere, wise and perfect as ever!
Meng Chu stared at the comment section for a long time before he was sure that the Fu Guanshan they were talking about was the same person he knew.
His eyelids twitched and he returned to the homepage. After refreshing, all he saw were clips related to Fu Guanshan.
Big data is really about quick success and instant benefits.
Just as he was about to quit, a big headline caught his eye: Top AO Love in China’s Entertainment Industry! This scene is the mark of the susceptible period in my mind!
Judging from the cover, the protagonists of the video are Fu Guanshan and He Zhen. Maybe some filter was added, so the picture looks gray.
Meng Chu clicked it before he could stop himself.
The video was probably a clip from a movie. In the scene, Fu Guanshan seemed to have just finished a fight. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were gloomy, and there was a streak of blood on his left cheek, touching the corner of his eye. He lay on his back on the sofa, his arms bulging with veins. He grabbed He Zhen, who was hurriedly pouring water for him, and pressed him on his body. Then the camera zoomed out and only two blurry figures were seen.
And a string of barrages of "Ahhhhhh", "I'm gone", "Hiss hiss", "Yama He Wanli SZD", "Leopard Cat Cat I was born".
Meng Chu frowned, exited the full screen, clicked pause, and returned to the desktop.
He stared at the landscape picture of blue sky and white clouds for a long time, then reopened the web page.
Then, he began to search in order: What is the relationship between leopards and cats; what does SZD mean; what does hissing hissing mean...what does AO mean?
He wandered in this new world for a while and nodded.
So... this Alpha and Omega, is it similar to the Eloi and Morlocks in "The Time Machine"?
What's there to yell about?
But it seems that the fans - to be precise, he has now learned the term, they are called CP fans - like it very much.
Although fans know that Fu Guanshan is already married and say that they "only support the character and don't care about the real person", they still can't help but feel regretful and think that they are the most suitable match.
Meng Chu browsed the comments for a while and went back to the original video. The smooth editing, filters, and background music made He Zhen look extremely charming, and he and Fu Guanshan were like the two poles of handsomeness and beauty.
They are indeed a good match.
He used the two people's names as keywords and searched for them, and found that they not only belonged to the same company, but had also collaborated twice. Counting "Road to Heaven", this was the third time.
Almost every time they act together, rumors of suspected romance arise.
No wonder fans are so excited.
He recalled the last time on the set, He Zhen was very friendly towards Guan Shan, and their social distance was much less than that of ordinary colleagues.
These two people...are indeed very familiar with each other.
So… they actually talked before?
Meng Chu should have stopped, but the damn big data seemed to see through him. A comprehensive video of gossip was pushed to the top, and the title was clear: A complete list of Fu Guanshan’s rumored boyfriends.
Meng Chu clicked it before he could stop himself.
The blogger's compilation is comprehensive and detailed, covering all CP interactions during the promotion period of Fu Guanshan. In almost every frame, Meng Chu could see that familiar gaze. Fu Guanshan often looked at him like this, as if the end of the world and the crumbling of the sea would happen in the next second.
But Meng Chu's focus is not here. He was paying more attention to the person opposite him.
Fu Guanshan’s rumored boyfriends.
Even under the high-definition lens that magnifies flaws, each has its own beauty.
Meng Chu thought of his wedding photo. Even when he looked his best, there was still a huge gap between him and the stars in the videos.
Like a movie and reality.
After the video finished playing, he stared at the clip covers below for a while and closed the website.
He didn't watch "Xiangyang" in the end. He opened the competition design of the son of the Dean of Academic Affairs, and his busy daily life came to an end.
