Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Genius Director Su Yuzhou
Xia Nuan was feeling a bit strange right now. If some of the plots she recalled were indeed from the original novel, then the gap between reality and the novel was indeed huge.
Ye Li and herself should not have had any intersection before participating in this variety show, so the meeting between the two should not have happened. But why didn't the will of the world stop her from rejecting Ye Li and not dating him at that time?
Moreover, Xia Nuan was very sure that the decision to break up with Ye Li was entirely her own decision, which was completely different from the feeling when she entered the entertainment industry without knowing the reason.
She had a vague guess: could it be that the world's will did not dare to let the protagonist be aware of his existence?
Xia Nuan opened the door a crack, the chain lock still inserted in the door, and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing in my house?"
"Can we talk inside? This is about your boyfriend, and it's not convenient to talk about it outside."
Hmm? Is it related to Lou Su? Xia Nuan was deeply puzzled.
Seeing that Xia Nuan showed no sign of giving in, Ye Li spoke with a look of disappointment, "It's Lou Su's agent—"
The door opened, "Come in quickly."
In the living room, the two of them sat opposite each other on the sofa, as if they were confronting each other invisibly.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Ye Li licked his dry lips and said, "I'm a little thirsty."
Fuck, he's so ungrateful. Xia Nuan didn't want to bother pouring him some water, so she casually took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator and placed it in front of him, "Drink it and tell me."
Nuannuan still remembered that I liked to drink iced water. Ye Li adjusted his tie, unscrewed the bottle cap, and his Adam's apple rolled. Half a bottle of water disappeared in an instant.
"Lou Su's agent just called me and asked me to testify for Lou Su."
Wait a minute, let Ye Li go to testify. Xia Nuan dug out a piece of information from the memory that was about to be thrown away. It seemed that Ye Li had told her about his high school, and it seemed to be the same high school as Lou Su's recently learned.
"You knew Lou Su?"
Ye Li shook his head, his smile a little bitter. "I never told you before that I was bullied in high school."
In his senior year of high school, Ye Li was noticed by a new freshman. Not only was she a bit of a gangster, she already had a boyfriend, a gang leader. She quickly broke up with him and started pursuing Ye Li, but Ye Li rejected her.
But her gangster ex-boyfriend didn't care about all this and started to surround Ye Li. More than a dozen people beat him up. Even though he had knocked down a bunch of people, he was still beaten up after he was exhausted.
Ye Li had new injuries on his body every day. The teachers and classmates at school saw it, but no one dared to stand up for him.
Later, when Ye Li was about to be beaten to death, Lou Su appeared.
Xia Nuan was so shocked that she kept blinking. It turned out that Ye Li could be so miserable. She thought that someone with Ye Li's personality and scheming would not put him in such a passive situation.
Ye Li's voice was calm, as if he didn't care about what happened in the past, but one could still hear the trembling in the last tone.
Xia Nuan pursed her lips, feeling heartbroken for a moment, and then it disappeared. If they were still boyfriend and girlfriend, she would have to do something to comfort them no matter what.
The problem is that she is not like that. Moreover, she knows that this person will have a new boyfriend soon. Only a fool would have any extra feelings for him.
However, they are indeed the top and bottom characters in novels. It turns out that they have known each other for a long time. It is indeed fate that is destined.
Ye Li revealed his scars with genuine emotion (exaggerating them), hoping that Nuannuan would pity him, but unfortunately, all he got was a sigh from her, "You had a very hard time in the past."
Xia Nuan took the initiative to pour Ye Li a cup of hot water as a comfort.
Ye Li stroked the warm cup, lowering his head and chuckling silently. His description was indeed somewhat artistic. That day, he deliberately provoked the gang of thugs, and they didn't resist. If Lou Su hadn't ruined his plan, those people would have been sent to prison by him, and they might have died by now.
"Then are you going to testify for Lou Su?" Xia Nuan asked symbolically. She knew the result without even thinking about it. No matter what, Ye Li would definitely speak up for Lou Su.
Ye Li raised his eyes and looked at Xia Nuan with a non-offensive look. The soft light in the room made his face look even more handsome, weakening his sharpness and adding a sense of vulnerability. "Do you want me to testify for him?"
Xia Nuan was not at all disturbed by the handsome man in front of her. Ye Li's question was really mean. If he really didn't want to testify, he could just talk to Lou Su.
Whether she agreed or not, she had fallen into Ye Li's trap. If she agreed, she would owe Ye Li a favor; but she and Lou Su were still a couple on the surface, so how could she say that she didn't need your testimony?
Even though Xia Nuan was initially bewildered by this face, after three years of dating, she knew what kind of person this guy was. It was really frustrating.
Xia Nuan picked up a mint candy and popped it into her mouth. The faint sweetness dispelled the irritation in her heart. "Ye Li, we are all adults. Don't you know how much benefit you will gain by testifying for Lou Su? Will you stop testifying just because I tell you not to?"
Even though his expression didn't change much, Ye Li was visibly sad, and his elegant and handsome face was stained with a hint of sadness.
Ye Li's face was filled with loneliness, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was hoarse and trembling. "I know I was wrong back then. I just didn't want to lose you. I won't do that again."
Except for the last time when she broke up with him, she had never seen Ye Li cry. She hadn't said anything harsh this time, so why were her eyes red? Was Ye Li so fragile now?
"Our relationship now isn't about forgiveness or not. I just don't want to see you again. Also, you should make your own decision on this matter. Don't try to blackmail me anymore."
"Okay, you've been doing this with me for too long. I already have a boyfriend now. Whatever the reason, it's best if we don't meet again."
When Ye Li said this, his voice was low and hazy, with a subtle danger in it. "Can't we just be friends?"
"No." Xia Nuan frowned and answered without thinking.
Today is the fourth day since the variety show was suspended. The web drama "A Concubine's Daughter Cannot Be Bullied" starring Xia Nuan has officially started broadcasting. The whole drama has a total of 26 episodes. Unlike other dramas, this web drama will premiere with eight episodes.
Xia Nuan has been very popular recently, and thanks to this, the show has received a lot of clicks, with the eighth episode seeing a dramatic increase in clicks. This is because after re-editing the show, not only did they add Xia Nuan's scenes back to the opening and ending credits, they also moved Xia Nuan, who was supposed to appear in the fifteenth episode, to the eighth episode.
Su Yuzhou is a well-known genius director in the industry. He is only 29 years old this year. His graduation work from university won the Short Film Award at the Cannes International Film Festival. A year after graduation, he directed an art film "Red and Black River" alone and won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival. After that, the films he directed were nominated or awarded one after another.
Su Yuzhou took his mother's surname. His features were somewhat similar to Qin Linzheng's, but deeper, and he inherited his mother's attractive phoenix eyes. Therefore, few people around him knew that Su Yuzhou was actually Qin Linzheng's youngest son.
Su Yuzhou has been very busy with the casting for his new movie recently. If it wasn't Qin Lin's birthday today and his brother and sister-in-law were not abroad and would not come back, he would not have rushed to fly back to Beicheng.
When Su Yuzhou returned home, his father was sitting in the living room wearing reading glasses, drinking tea and happily watching an online drama of obviously poor quality.
"No, Dad, you actually watch this kind of web drama? Your taste has degraded to this extent. After all, you are an actor. You don't watch those classic dramas, but watch this kind of stupid drama."
Qin Lin turned a deaf ear to Su Yuzhou's words. His youngest son has always been a bad mouth since he was young. Moreover, this brat is stubborn and will stick to his principles.
He hadn't been allowed to study directing, so he ended up traveling right after the college entrance exam, never telling his family about filling out his application, and only returned home after receiving his acceptance letter. Although it was now proven that he had made the right choice, Qin Lin's brows were filled with pride.
But I still don't want to pay attention to him. If I ignore him for a while, he will be quiet. If I pay attention to him, I guarantee I will be annoyed to death.
Qin Linzheng certainly knew about the rumors about Lou Su that were circulating on the Internet, but he had been in this circle for thirty or forty years and had seen a lot of things like this. No one could make a final conclusion until the last moment.
However, Qin Linzheng wanted to watch Xia Nuan's TV series. This little girl's appearance seemed very suitable for the big screen, but he didn't know how good her acting skills were.
He didn't hesitate and directly clicked on the eighth episode to play. Before Xia Nuan appeared, Su Yuzhou came back, talking a lot of nonsense.
Su Yuzhou didn't care whether Qin Linzheng paid any attention to him. He picked up the melon seeds on the table and sat down next to Qin Linzheng to watch. "Dad, let's not talk about the actors' acting skills. The costumes and props in this drama are garbage. The lighting and shadows are also bad. And those lines, ugh, I'm almost embarrassed. How can you continue to watch it?"
"I don't want to see you back in your room."
Just as Su Yuzhou was about to retort, the scene on TV changed, and the rockery commonly seen in the Su family garden appeared. The first scene when Xia Nuan appeared was her hiding beside the rockery, staring at the male protagonist infatuatedly, and silently shedding tears.
She didn't make any particularly big movements, but she was very beautiful, the camera was beautiful, tears hung on her tear-soaked eyelashes, and her eyes, she had a pair of eyes that could speak.
Su Yuzhou stood up excitedly. This was the feeling he wanted. If he were to take the photo, he would definitely not take a full-body photo. He would let the camera point to her face, from the time her eyes turned red until they fell.
Her acting skills may not reach the standard she wants now, but he can teach her. Even if her lines are not good, he can still teach her. Su Yuzhou's blood is boiling.
Qin Linzheng nodded and habitually commented, "Although her acting is still a little immature, she's very lively overall. As a viewer, I can tell from her performance what she wants to convey, and her body movements are not exaggerated. I wonder how her dialogue is."
Su Yuzhou threw the melon seeds and said, "Old man, you know this actress, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have the sudden urge to watch this kind of web drama. Forget it, why am I asking you so many questions? Dad, give me her contact information."
Qin Linzheng paused, "Oh, you're asking for help now. You asked me if I knew her, but your dad has been on that variety show for over a week now, and you didn't know she's a regular guest like me. Are you coming back to celebrate my birthday?"
Su Yuzhou got the information he wanted and quickly typed in the online search box: the variety show Qin Linzheng recently participated in. He quickly found Xia Nuan's name.
