The director was an old acquaintance of Meng Lan, so Meng Lan did not give Lin Xin any face, but entrusted Lin Xin to the director as if she were entrusting her own junior.
Meng Lan instructed: "Be obedient."
Lin Xin nodded dejectedly.
Meng Lan patted Lin Xin on the back: "Cheer up!"
Lin Xin straightened his back and nodded as if he was in high spirits.
The director couldn't help laughing. His friend wasn't taking care of a star, he was taking care of a child.
However, even though there was a misunderstanding this time, the star Lin Xin should still be a worry-free person for Meng Lan. It's just that when Lin Xin occasionally gets into trouble, it makes Meng Lan so worried that her hair falls out in clumps.
In addition to this "disappearance", the previous lawsuit against the media group is still going on. Although the other party has obviously fallen into a slump, it is a large group after all, and is still stalling for time, as if trying to drag Lin Xin to death. After all, the time and money required for a lawsuit are very huge.
But seeing that Lin Xin still has time to go mountain climbing, maybe this is not a problem for him.
Look at the people behind Lin Xin. They are determined to confront that group. The other party has also angered the entertainment industry. People in the entertainment industry who have been blackened by him want to step on him. He is sure to lose the lawsuit this time.
The compensation for losing the case is nothing, but no matter how much the Chinese people curse the government, they still trust the official conclusion. If News Corporation loses the case for "spreading rumors and slander", the people will be biased against all their reports in the future. And if this precedent is set, other stars will also sue them, and then the funding chain may really be broken.
News Corp. is still seeking a private solution, but Lin Xin still seems to disagree.
As someone who had also been hacked by that media group, the director was still very happy.
The director said, "Leave it to me. Don't worry."
Lin Xin stood up and bowed honestly: "Director Shi, I will try my best."
He looked like a new employee taking an oath to his boss.
Director Shi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't be so polite. You are already an award-winning actor. Show your ability. You are so popular now. If you are too soft-tempered, you will be in trouble."
Lin Xin nodded seriously: "Okay!"
Meng Lan held her forehead with her hand: "Well, my child is like this. I don't know what's going on in his head. Maybe he's been taken advantage of by someone and he doesn't even know it. Old friend, please keep an eye on him for me."
Lin Xin interrupted: "I'm very smart..."
Meng Lan said: "I didn't say you're not smart, it's just that you don't know how sinister people are."
Lin Xin shut up. As a system intelligence, he might not know what evil people are, but he didn't think he would be tricked. But seeing Meng Lan's expression, he decided not to talk back.
Meng Lan talked to Director Shi for a long time, as if Lin Xin was a naive person.
Lin Xin was a little sleepy listening to the talk, so Meng Lan left. Meng Lan was very busy now, and even though she only had Lin Xin as her guide, she was still very busy.
After Meng Lan left, Lin Xin said to Director Shi again: "Brother Meng just worries a lot. Actually, I am very smart."
Director Shi looked at Lin Xin with eyes that showed him care for a naive junior, and said, "Lin Xiaoxin is of course smart, I know that. Come, let me introduce you to the actors in the crew. If you meet someone you don't know, just watch and don't talk, and don't agree to be alone with anyone..."
Listening to Director Shi's nagging, Lin Xin's eyes were dead. He finally understood why Director Shi and Meng Lan had been friends for many years. These two people just had the same attributes.
However, as Director Shi kept on nagging, the optical computer compared it with the information collected in its own database and made minor adjustments.
． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
The crew that Lin Xin joined this time was a TV drama crew.
In other countries, it is considered a loss of status for an award-winning actor to act in a TV series. However, in China, high-quality TV series are not much worse than movies. Many veteran artists often appear in TV series, but rarely in movies. As a result, Chinese actors do not think that acting in TV series is inferior to movies. Other countries are also aware of this situation in the Chinese entertainment industry.
This time, Meng Lan found a TV drama crew for Lin Xin.
This TV series is adapted from a semi-fictional historical novel. It tells the story of a wise man who assisted the monarch in becoming one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period during the struggle for hegemony among many heroes.
The wise man was named Zhang Yun, with the courtesy name Lanzhi. He was a student of Guiguzi and was originally a noble of the State of Jiang. The State of Jiang was close to the sea and had always been a rich country since the feudal lords were enfeoffed. Zhang Yun's father, Zhang Pei, was stationed at the border for a long time and was a famous general of the State of Jiang. He repeatedly defeated the invasion of the neighboring State of Yu and was a thorn in the side of the State of Yu as the hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period.
The King of Jiang State was addicted to wine and sex. If it were not for the talented general Zhang Pei, he would have been defeated by the State of Yu long ago.
However, the King of Jiang State was addicted to wine and sex, and his brain had obviously been corrupted by wine and sex. It was not that he believed the words of his favorite concubine and flatterers and was afraid that Zhang Pei would surpass him in achievements, but that he had his eyes on Zhang Pei's wife, so he planned to kill Zhang Pei so that he could take possession of his wife who stayed in the capital.
Zhang Pei's wife was well connected in the aristocratic circle. She learned about this in advance and quickly sent a letter to Zhang Pei and sent away the child Zhang Yun. Knowing that she could not escape, she set fire to the official residence and committed suicide.
The King of Jiang was angry that Mrs. Zhang Pei would rather commit suicide than enter the palace. He was also worried about the military strength of Zhang Pei. He took advantage of the fact that Zhang Pei was fighting on the front line with the State of Yu to cut off the food supply and block the rescue. He even cooperated with the State of Yu at the cost of a city and buried Zhang Pei and his soldiers on the battlefield.
After Zhang Pei's death, the king of Jiang State began to hunt down the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was removed from the list of nobles.
Zhang Yun was hidden by his servants in a farmhouse outside the city, but was still found by the King of Jiang. The King of Jiang was lustful and did not care about men or women. Zhang Yun inherited his good looks from his mother, so the King of Jiang took a fancy to him at first sight. Therefore, Zhang Yun was not killed, but taken into the palace as a catamite.
Although Zhang Yun was young, he was very smart. He was unwilling to be the male lover of the king of Jiang State, so he pretended to be scared and went crazy, climbed up a tall tree and broke one leg. The king of Jiang State was very angry, so he broke Zhang Yun's other leg and had the half-dead Zhang Yun thrown to the suburbs to be eaten to death by wild beasts.
But a nobleman felt pity for Zhang Yun and used a slave to pretend to be Zhang Yun who was eaten to death by wild beasts. He rescued Zhang Yun and took him to his hometown with his son to hide from the limelight.
Zhang Yun survived, but his legs were broken.
Zhang Yun and the nobleman's child lived together for two years, treating each other as brothers. Later, Zhang Yun refused to give up and wanted to take revenge, even though he was already disabled. So he went out to study despite the dissuasion. Later, Guiguzi was impressed by his tenacity and intelligence and accepted him as his apprentice.
When Zhang Yun returned to Jiang, it was a revenge drama. He assisted his lord, the nobles who saved him, to overthrow the regime of Jiang, exiled the king of Jiang, cut off the bloodline of the king of Jiang, and made the king of Zhou Dynasty recognize his lord as the new vassal of Jiang, and still use the name of Jiang.
Afterwards, he went into battle as a military advisor, recovered the cities occupied by the State of Yu, and avenged his father and uncles on the battlefield.
Then his former friend ascended the throne, and he assisted him to become the new overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.
If Zhang Yun had a good end, it would have been a good story of a monarch and his subjects. Unfortunately, his former friend, the king whom he helped to become the overlord, gave Zhang Yun a cup of poisoned wine because the woman he loved did not love him but Zhang Yun.
As a result, the State of Jiang went from prosperity to decline.
This semi-fictional historical novel is adapted from real history. There was indeed a person named Zhang Yun in history. He had an unreliable background and disabled legs, but he was deeply trusted by his lord. However, in the end, his achievements surpassed his lord and he was given poisoned wine. The State of Jiang declined due to the foolish behavior of its king.
The fictional elements added to this novel are the fictional life story of Zhang Yun and the good general Zhang Pei, and the fictionalization of a beautiful woman as the reason why the king of Jiang suddenly had a brain seizure. This adds a touch of romance to this tragedy.
Of course, this makes it all the more tragic.
Finally, the woman committed suicide after Zhang Yun died, and the king of Jiang still couldn't get her. After failing to get her, he suddenly came to his senses and felt very regretful. He buried Zhang Yun with great honor, and buried the woman and Zhang Yun together as husband and wife, and conferred a lot of titles on both of them.
After reading the original novel, Lin Xin felt that human emotions were really inexplicable. If you can't get the love you want, don't ask for it. As for killing the other person? It's so magical.
But Brother Fei and I are in love with each other, so there is no such boring question.

The investment in this novel is huge, and many veteran actors are involved. The requirements are also very strict, such as live sound recording and no stand-ins, which are written into the contract. The investor even said that he has money and channels, and others should not use investment as an excuse to get people in. He just wants the TV series he invests in to be a masterpiece, and he won't give up.
By the way, this investor is also an acquaintance of Lin Xin, Mingchen, the college roommate of his brother and his brother Fei.
The three of them and another person who has now been promoted to the rank of □ are obviously not in the same department, but they can still become roommates and close friends. It is really fate. They cherish this fate very much. Even though everyone is busy and it is not easy to meet in real life, they are still closely connected with each other.
After Mingchen heard that Lin Xin was going to play the leading role, he came to support Lin Xin. Mingchen's family was originally in politics, but he liked business. Fortunately, he had a powerful elder sister, so he was allowed to do whatever he wanted.
Ming Chen was originally a well-known "dandy" in the entertainment industry. Others thought that he invested in the entertainment industry just to play with celebrities, but who knew that he really treated investment as a career and was not interested in the small stars who paid for him, and even hated them. Now his investment company spans multiple fields such as film and television, literary creation, and music creation. He is already quite famous in the entertainment industry. Even if Fengyu is backed by Universal, it is still not as good as Ming Chen because it does not have the advantage of being a local boss.
This TV series is co-produced by Mingchen and Fengyu, the two largest investors. Both companies have put in sufficient financial resources and sincerity. Lin Xin, as the current top star of the newly rising Fengyu, directly plays the leading role, which shows the chips that Fengyu has placed on this drama.
Ming Chen was very happy to cooperate with Fengyu, and was even more happy to let Lin Xin be the protagonist for him.
"You're the best actor, and now your role as the protagonist is secured." Ming Chen held Lin Xin and pinched her face with a smile.
Lin Xin looked confused: "Why did you pinch me?"
Mingchen smiled and said, "Because Daqin said your face is fun to pinch, I've wanted to try it for a long time. Wow, it's really fun, as soft as tofu. What kind of makeup do you use?"
Lin Xin said honestly: "No, but I will apply some lotion to moisturize."
Mingchen asked again: "What kind of lotion are you applying? Come on, let's talk."
Lin Xin immediately advertised Xue Fei's high-end products. Ming Chen was speechless: "I know you are the spokesperson for his clothing, but not for his high-end skin care products. Do you really recommend all his products?"
Lin Xin said: "But I just use Brother Fei's. It doesn't cost any money."
Mingchen thought it made sense. Why buy something when you have it for free at home?
"I'll ask Xue Fei to send me a bunch later." Ming Chen said immediately.
Lin Xin reminded: "Let Feige's company check your skin quality before sending it to you."
Mingchen nodded: "Yes, yes, don't send it to the wrong person."
At this time, someone interrupted and said, "What do you want to give me, Xiao Xin? Give me a set?"
Lin Xin turned around and said in surprise: "Ah, Brother Rong? Are you going to act in it too? I didn't see you in the cast list."
Rong Zhi smiled and said, "Because I decided to make a guest appearance at the last minute, to play the role of your master Guiguzi."
Lin Xin immediately abandoned the unfamiliar Brother Mingchen and ran towards the familiar Brother Rongzhi.
Mingchen felt a little jealous for some reason. Although he didn't have much contact with this guy, as a good friend of Lin Daqin, he should be closer to Lin Xiaoxin than Rong Zhi, a stranger, right?
Mingchen decided to send a text message to Lin Qin to complain.
Lin Xin didn't know that Ming Chen was a petty complainer. He was having a very happy chat with Rong Zhi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Rong Zhi gave him a lot of advice on acting, and the two of them had very compatible personalities. To Lin Xin, Rong Zhi was a senior whom he admired very much, and when chatting with Rong Zhi, he couldn't help but smile in admiration of a senior.
Rong Zhi likes cute little animals. Every time he looks at Lin Xin's well-behaved face, even though Lin Xin is an adult, he can't help but reach out to rub Lin Xin's hair. He ruffles Lin Xin's hair until it's messy and then helps her to tidy it up, just like ruffling a little animal's hair and then combing its hair.
In addition to Rong Zhi, there is also someone familiar to Lin Xin in the crew. The male lead in his first TV series, Shang Wenhui. Shang Wenhui plays the king who poisons his most trusted minister because of a woman.
"Xiao Xin, long time no see." Shang Wenhui has developed well in recent years. Although he has not won major awards in movies, he has won the title of Best Actor in TV series and successfully transformed into a complete powerful actor. After Lin Xin entered the entertainment industry, he and Lin Xin have always been in contact. They are not good friends, but they are also ordinary friends in the public's perception.
"Brother Shang." Lin Xin called him obediently, still as humble as ever.
Because Lin Xin is already a movie emperor, Shang Wenhui was still considering how to treat this "friend" who has not been in the circle for long but has achieved great success. Now that he sees that Lin Xin seems to have not changed at all and still treats him as a senior, he feels a lot more relaxed.
Lin Xin was still the good and obedient child, and I was just thinking too much. Shang Wenhui despised himself, and then naturally transformed into the big brother mode to treat Lin Xin.
Lin Xin had no awareness of being an award-winning actor. In his eyes, others were more experienced and older than him, so he should respect them. He didn't even feel that he respected them. He was just like that, and it hadn't changed.
Director Shi couldn't help but sigh. He had reminded Lin Xin before, asking him not to be so soft, and he had agreed to it. Now he is still so soft? Fortunately, the investors are protecting him, Rong Zhi is protecting him, and Shang Wenhui is also a sensible person. I hope he can help him when he encounters some difficult little stars.
Director Shi suddenly had a sense of mission to protect his friend's children from being bullied. This sense of mission reached its highest point when Guan Hanwei, the theoretical heroine of the play, appeared.
As soon as Guan Hanwei arrived, she showed great enthusiasm towards Lin Xin. In the identity of a sexy older sister, she leaned towards Lin Xin pretending to be indifferent.
Lin Xin stupidly... stupidly turned around and hid behind Rong Zhi, revealing half of his face, staring at Guan Hanwei with wide eyes.
Guan Hanwei: “…”
Director Shi was about to save the situation when his steps stopped in mid-air.
Guan Hanwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Xiao Xin, what are you doing?"
Lin Xin blinked and hid the rest of her face behind Rong Zhi's broad, secure expression.
Guan Hanwei: “…” Her smile was beginning to fade.
Shang Wenhui smiled and said, "Lin Xiaoxin, you are so shy. You and Han Wei will have a love scene to act out later. What are you going to do?"
Lin Xin revealed half of his face again and said carefully: "Acting is acting, but now it's not acting. I have someone I like, and I can't let him down."
The people on the set were like fireworks exploding in their hearts when they suddenly learned a huge piece of news!
Ming Chen controlled his hand that was about to call Lin Qin and asked, "Who? Do I know your brother Chen?"
Lin Xin thought for a moment and said, "I won't tell you. I haven't confessed yet, and I don't know if the other party will accept it. If I tell him in advance, if he knows, there will be no surprise. You will keep it a secret, right?"
Ming Chen glanced at the set and said, "Of course. There are only a few people on the set right now, and we'll know who spread the news. We're all famous people, so we wouldn't be so bored as to leak the news to the paparazzi, right?"
Director Shi immediately said, "Of course not, Xiaoxin, don't worry. But you should tell Meng Lan about the person you like."
Lin Xin nodded.
Ming Chen asked: "Does Daqin know? Does Xue Fei know?"
Lin Xin shook his head: "I'll tell my eldest brother once I've figured out how to confess and ask him to help me with some advice."
When Mingchen heard this, he immediately stepped forward and hooked his arm around Lin Qin's neck, and pulled Lin Xin out from behind: "Come on, tell me quietly who it is. I have a lot of experience in love, and I'll help you with some advice."
Lin Xin was puzzled: "But didn't Brother Chen and Brother Ruibo get together in college? Brother Chen's first love experience was in high school?"
Mingchen: "...Who is with him? Nonsense."
Lin Xin said: "But you guys have torn up your evidence..."
Mingchen looked up at the studio again, and the others looked at the sky and the ground. Oh, another big gossip, it turns out that the golden bachelor Mr. Ming is not a bachelor.
Ming Chen was helpless: "How did you know? I just got the marriage certificate last week and didn't even tell Da Qin."
Lin Xin said: "Brother Ruibo told me. Brother Ruibo also asked Brother Fei and Big Brother about their free time, saying that they wanted to make up for the wedding and hoped that Brother Fei and Big Brother would be there."
Mingchen's mouth twitched: "Is it, is it?"
Lin Xin was surprised: "Brother Chen doesn't know?"
Ming Chen looked embarrassed: "Well, I'm going to go out and make a phone call first, you guys can chat slowly."
Lin Xin watched Mingchen leave.
Xiaoguang: You knew they were having a quarrel, why did you say that?
Lin Xin: They love each other, they slept together, they got married, their parents and all their friends thought they were together in college, it was hard to see Chen Ge being so awkward. Rui Bo Ge showed his sincerity, but Chen Ge still had other ideas.
Lin Xin: Alas, ever since I knew that Brother Fei and I were in love with each other, I couldn’t help but feel soft-hearted.
Lin Xin took out his phone and sent a text message to Shi Ruibo: "Brother Ruibo, I can only help you here (clenched fist)!"
I don't know what Shi Ruibo's reaction was after he received Mingchen's call and saw this text message. He originally wanted to give Mingchen a surprise and propose to her again after preparing for the wedding, but Lin Xin ruined it.
Xiaoguang: So this is to help him. I'll write it down in the database. This is how human beings think.
Lin Xin: Yes, this is the human mindset and human kindness. You will understand when Xiaoguang evolves again.
Lin Xin felt that he had done a good thing today and was very happy.
The other two leading actors, a big-name guest star and a famous director looked at each other, not knowing how things had turned out to be like this.
Guan Hanwei fiddled with her hair with her hands, with a smile on her face but feeling a little annoyed.
She finally got into the crew, and she was thinking about developing something with Lin Xin. She thought that Lin Xin was a young man, who had been strictly controlled before, and the roles he took were mostly male-lead roles, and women didn't see many of them. She only needed to tease him a few times, and Lin Xin would definitely take the bait.
She didn't think she could become Lin Xin's official girlfriend. Even if Lin Xin was stupid, his family was not stupid. Guan Hanwei only thought that after having a brief relationship with Lin Xin, Lin Xin would definitely take care of her in terms of resources. With Lin Xin's current status, if she could get a little bit of money from him, it would be enough for her.
If Lin Xin was really protected too closely, she would try to hook up with Ming Chen. She didn't believe that Ming Chen was really a chaste womanizer in the entertainment industry and didn't care about women.
As for why she was determined to sleep with others on her way up, it was probably because that was how she climbed up, and she thought it was easy to obtain resources this way.
