Reborn Star Mentor

He was bluntly sure he could win.

Hou Zining's cheek muscles twitched for a while, and then he retorted word by word: "Who wins and who loses, it's still unknown."

Seeing Hou Zining's eyes widened and trying to hold back, Cui Yanqiu smiled, turned and left.

He knew he had won the second game.

Fang Yuanliu left with Cui Yanqiu, and after entering the lounge out of everyone's sight, he stretched out his arms to embrace Cui Yanqiu.

Cui Yanqiu looked at Fang Yuanliu in surprise, and said with a smile, "I thought you would say that I'm so handsome again."

Fang Yuanliu stretched out his hand to hold Cui Yanqiu's hand firmly, and then said, "Do I seem to be such a low EQ person?"

Cui Yanqiu asked back: "Isn't low EQ your endorsement?"

Fang Yuanliu sighed depressingly, and then said with concern: "It's okay, what you said just now was a lot of sad things for you, it hurts people very much but it will also eat back three points of yourself, you should relax."

Cui Yanqiu looked at Fang Yuanliu's considerate look, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this person was really kind. Although his EQ was so low, he always cared about his own situation. He smiled and said, "It's okay."

Naturally, he is not really okay. Although many things he said to Hou Zining touched each other's pain points, those things were not easy for him. In order to remind Hou Zining of Cui Tingshi, he also recalled the death of his previous life over and over again. For a long time, which is undoubtedly very distressing.

But looking at Fang Yuanliu's nervous eyes because of concern, Cui Yanqiu's heart warmed slightly, and the fatigue feeling just now gradually dissipated. Finally, he held Fang Yuanliu's cheeks and demanded: "Smile."

Fang Yuanliu was a little confused, but as long as Cui Yanqiu could calm down, he didn't care about doing any difficult things, let alone just let him smile, so Fang Yuanliu showed a smile.

Fang Yuanliu's cheek was held by Cui Yanqiu, and his expression when he smiled was a little silly. Cui Yanqiu felt healed instantly when he saw it, so he finally smiled relaxedly, tiptoed and kissed Fang Yuanliu's lips, Then he walked away with a smile on his face, saying as he walked, "Thank you, I feel much better now."

Fang Yuanliu froze in place, he touched his lips for a while to reflect, and then managed to smile stupidly without being praised.

This episode calmed down the mentality of Fang Yuanliu and Cui Yanqiu. Cui Yanqiu was preparing for the next step of his plan, but suddenly an unexpected person came to the set.

Gu Huaiqing, who always liked to stay in Lin Zifeng's office for a long time, actually went out, and came here specially to find Cui Yanqiu.

Cui Yanqiu didn't know what Gu Huaiqing was here for, he could only guess that he had something to say about the script, but Gu Huaiqing handed him a pair of glasses without saying a word.

It was a pair of black half-rim glasses. Although it was well maintained, it could still be seen that the glasses had gone through many years.

Seeing Gu Huaiqing reaching out for the pair of glasses, Cui Yanqiu accepted them in a daze, and then asked, "Whose glasses are these?"

Gu Huaiqing said: "These are my glasses from before, they are plain, remember to wear them when you get to the scene where you first saw them."

Gu Huaiqing has always been used to only asking for requests but not explaining the whole story. Cui Yanqiu was full of doubts, so he had to ask himself: "Why do you wear these glasses? Is there anything special about them?"

Gu Huaiqing was silent for a moment, and finally he suddenly evoked a smile, and the usually expressionless person suddenly smiled, forming a huge contrast and giving him a bit of a literati's gentleness.

Then Gu Huaiqing said: "Did you really forget? You once wore a pair of glasses exactly like it."

Cui Yanqiu was taken aback, he was not short-sighted, so he only wore glasses when he needed to disguise himself, but for the camouflage effect, he was used to wearing bigger full-frame glasses.

After reminiscing for a while, Cui Yanqiu finally remembered that he did wear a pair of similar glasses, that was many years ago, when Gu Huaiqing and Hou Zining were still freshmen in the Film Academy, and Cui Yanqiu was a young teacher who had just taken office.

At that time, Cui Yanqiu himself had just graduated not long ago, and he was not a few years behind the freshmen. He was worried that he would look too young to impress the students, so he specially matched a pair of glasses.

But before it was time for him to teach, the pair of glasses was accidentally damaged, so he had to throw the pair of glasses into the trash can.

He remembered that his glasses were broken because of a brave act. One day at the beginning of school, he saw several people beating up a young student, so he heroically saved the person and took a chance to distract the attacker. Attention, and then dragged the students who were beaten to a semi-consciousness and fled in a hurry.

Even in the process of saving people, his glasses were stepped on and deformed, so he also gave up his plan to wear glasses.

So there should not be many people who have seen him wearing glasses. Cui Yanqiu looked at Gu Huaiqing for a while, and then suddenly reacted: "You helped me take that child away?"

At that time, the situation was urgent, so Cui Yanqiu found a passing student to take the injured student away, and he was responsible for diverting the pursuers. When he ran for several kilometers and finally ran back to the place where he entrusted the wounded, he found that the two people had disappeared. up.

Cui Yanqiu didn't know what happened to the wounded, at this moment he asked with great interest: "Then what happened to you?"

Gu Huaiqing remained silent for a while for no apparent reason, and then said: "I saw the man's face was bloody, so I took him to the hospital first, but later he thought I was the one who saved him, because the style of your glasses at that time was not the same as yours. Mine was the same, and the injured student was beaten to the ground half unconscious, only remembering the small half profile and the pair of glasses seen from the bottom up."

Cui Yanqiu just wanted to laugh at this wonderful fate, but before he could speak, he suddenly thought of something, and then froze.

He froze in place and stared at Gu Huaiqing for a moment, then asked dryly: "Then that person..."

Gu Huaiqing said in a calm tone: "Then that person thought I was his savior, and wanted to promise me with my body."

While talking, Gu Huaiqing took a deep look at Cui Yanqiu.

Cui Yanqiu hesitated for a long time before tentatively asking: "Hou Zining?"

Gu Huaiqing was silent and nodded.

Cui Yanqiu suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

He rescued Hou Zining at the beginning, but Hou Zining mistakenly thought that it was Gu Huaiqing who saved him, and he still has no feelings for him, but Hou Zining himself was killed by Hou Zining.

Cui Yanqiu pulled up the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, and finally sighed: "It's really good luck."

Gu Huaiqing continued to tell the whole story: "I told Hou Zining that I was not the one who saved him, but he always felt that I was trying to shirk, and I was in the screenwriting department, so I didn't get in touch with you, so I didn't know until a long time later that Hou Zining was rescued. You are the one who gave it to me."

Cui Yanqiu thought for a while, and finally waved his hands and said, "Forget it, according to Hou Zining's personality, even if he knew that I saved him, he might not be merciful when I blocked his way."

Gu Huaiqing said, "I'm here today, of course I'm not here to talk about old affairs."

Cui Yanqiu looked at Gu Huaiqing, and then heard him continue: "In my original version of the script, I didn't see this plot for the first time. Later, Zi Feng told me your real identity, and then I decided to add this plot."

"My purpose is to let you put on these glasses and stand in front of Hou Zining to let him know what happened back then. Don't you want to stimulate him? This is a very good opportunity."

Cui Yanqiu thought for a while, then finally raised his hand and put on those glasses.

The author has something to say: I think it is not OK to change the city and get sick again, but there is nothing I can do, just lie down

☆, bosom friend and identity

Cui Yanqiu was already handsome, but now wearing glasses added to his bookish look, Gu Huaiqing looked at Cui Yanqiu, and suddenly smiled again after a while.

In normal times, Cui Yanqiu would definitely be frightened by Gu Huaiqing's abnormal behavior, but now there is something that surprised him even more, and he doesn't care about Gu Huaiqing's rare smile.

A hint of memory appeared in Gu Huaiqing's eyes, and then he said, "You are still the same as before."

Cui Yanqiu looked at Gu Huaiqing in a daze, and heard Gu Huaiqing explain: "When I first saw you, you were only in your early twenties. At that time, you wore a pair of glasses like this. Use this disguise to suppress the remaining childish pressure."

Hearing Gu Huaiqing's words, Cui Yanqiu also began to recall, but he found that he couldn't remember what he was like at that time, so he could only look at Gu Huaiqing silently.

Gu Huaiqing almost finished talking for a year today. He has always been tired of explaining to others, but now he continues: "After I really got to know you, I have always admired you. I was heartbroken for a long time when you were in a car accident. Well you are still here."

Cui Yanqiu heard a bit of loneliness from Gu Huaiqing's words. Of course, this kind of loneliness is not related to love, but like the melancholy that is hard to find.

Cui Yanqiu thought about it for a while, and finally understood the reason why Gu Huaiqing was so abnormal. As a screenwriter, Gu Huaiqing's works have always been extremely in-depth. In addition, he is a bit arrogant, and he is more and more dissatisfied with most domestic actors. Perform his script as it should.

However, as the vice president of the Screenwriters Association, Gu Huaiqing has a strong sense of responsibility for the domestic film and television industry, so he still sticks to the country.

Looking at the entire country, the actor who best met his requirements in the past was Cui Tingshi. Although his personal relationship was not deep, Gu Huaiqing always felt that an actor who could perform his own script well must understand his works, so he always regarded Cui Yanqiu as a confidant.

Later, his confidant passed away inexplicably and suddenly, and he died at the hands of Hou Zining. The blunders between them surpassed all the scripts he wrote in terms of drama, and he only felt absurd at the time.

Out of anger and loneliness, Gu Huaiqing wrote down the script that Mu Shi is currently filming, but at first he never thought that this script could be filmed.

But then he met Cui Yanqiu.

At first he thought that Cui Yanqiu was simply Cui Tingshi's younger brother. In order to let the other party know the truth and to punish Hou Zining, Gu Huaiqing signed a contract with Mu Shi and gave the script to Mu Shi.

Later, after he was with Lin Zifeng, he found out that Cui Yanqiu was actually Cui Tingshi. At that time, he didn't even find it unbelievable, but felt a kind of joy of finding it again.

The actor who knows him best is still there, and he is still in the entertainment industry. This is really the best news he has learned in the field of work.

He hoped that Cui Yanqiu would go on better and better, that he could always maintain his initial love for acting, and continue to cooperate with him.

Cui Yanqiu understood the other party's meaning from Gu Huaiqing's words, so he smiled and said: "Of course I'm still here, I still want to act in your script."

Hearing this sentence, Gu Huaiqing knew that Cui Yanqiu understood what he said, and had always regarded him as a confidant, so Gu Huaiqing laughed again.

Then he restrained his expression, and said to Cui Yanqiu very seriously: "Stick to your original intention, and then go to defeat Hou Zining, you know I support you."

Cui Yanqiu also nodded solemnly to him, saying: "Don't worry."

When Cui Yanqiu proposed that he wanted Hou Zining to join Mu Shi's crew, Fang Yuanliu objected, because he cared more about Cui Yanqiu's safety than winning or losing, and he was afraid that if he did so, he would draw wolves into the house.

But Lin Zifeng chose to remain neutral after thinking rationally. In his words, he did not believe that Hou Zining would show his true colors under the stimulation of Cui Yanqiu. As long as Hou Zining still had an IQ, he would know that he was already under suspicion. How could he kill him again? ?Naturally, there will be no so-called security issues.

At that time, there was a stalemate between the three of them, but in the end it was Gu Huaiqing's opinion that broke the deadlock, and he chose to support Cui Yanqiu.

Cui Yanqiu originally knew that he was going to risk his life, but he always lacked confidence in front of Fang Yuanliu. After seeing Gu Huaiqing supporting him, he finally became tough once, and Fang Yuanliu could only choose to compromise after that.

At this time, Cui Yanqiu recalled what happened at that time, and felt that this pair of glasses might also be one of the reasons why Gu Huaiqing supported him.

Another reason is probably that Gu Huaiqing, as a bystander who knew Cui Yanqiu well, saw Cui Yanqiu's desire to settle these grievances with his own hands.

Gu Huaiqing left a last sentence: "Be careful", and left.

After Gu Huaiqing left, Cui Yanqiu took off his glasses. He looked at the old pair of glasses in his hand and showed a complicated smile.

Even he himself didn't know that he and Hou Zining still had such entanglements.

Tomorrow he will be filming the first scene, and he has to think about how to act so that Hou Zining can recall what happened back then.

So after the shooting of this day was completed, Cui Yanqiu stood in front of the mirror wearing glasses, adjusted his state, and tried to make himself more similar to Cui Tingshi ten years ago.

Fang Yuanliu respected Cui Yanqiu's privacy, so he did not participate in the conversation between Cui Yanqiu and Gu Huaiqing. At this moment, he looked at Cui Yanqiu in surprise, and asked in surprise, "Yanqiu, what's wrong with you today?"

Why did you suddenly become narcissistic with a pair of glasses on?

Cui Yanqiu's heart moved after hearing his question, and he decided to try it in front of Fang Yuanliu first, so he adjusted his expression and turned his head, calling: "Student Fang."

Fang Yuanliu was startled when he saw Cui Yanqiu's expression clearly, he leaned back reflexively, and blurted out before his brain could react: "Hello, teacher!"

Cui Yanqiu: ...Fang Yuanliu reacted so well, it seems that he was a good student when he was young.

Fang Yuanliu:? ? ?What am I talking about?

Cui Yanqiu still maintained that expression and looked at Fang Yuanliu, Fang Yuanliu couldn't help wondering: "Yanqiu, what are you doing?"

Hearing Fang Yuanliu's question, Cui Yanqiu finally adjusted his expression, but he smiled and did not answer, but asked instead: "Did I really look like a teacher just now?"

Fang Yuanliu nodded again and again: "It looks like a young teacher, I have goosebumps from fright."

Cui Yanqiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "I thought you were a good student?"

Fang Yuanliu said with a dry smile: "The grades are pretty good, but..." But he once smoked, drank and skipped class during his second year of middle school. I don't know how many teachers felt bad for him.

Seeing Fang Yuanliu's uncomfortable look, Cui Yanqiu considerately stopped worrying about this topic, but explained his behavior: "I was just looking for the state of tomorrow's performance."

Fang Yuanliu was a little puzzled and said: "Tomorrow's play is very difficult?" Cui Yanqiu is so troublesome.

Cui Yanqiu shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with the script, but I'm going to take this opportunity to cheat Hou Zining once, so I need to practice it first." Then he recounted what Gu Huaiqing said.

After Cui Yanqiu finished speaking, Fang Yuanliu widened his eyes in surprise and sighed: "You and Hou Zining really have constant entanglements."

Cui Yanqiu nodded with concern.

Fang Yuanliu thought for a while, and suddenly looked at Cui Yanqiu with a serious face, and said very solemnly: "Why do I feel that I am a little jealous?"

Cui Yanqiu said dumbly: "Huh?"

When Fang Yuanliu thought that Cui Yanqiu knew Hou Zining so early, and Hou Zining was still pursuing Gu Huaiqing after he mistakenly thought that the person who saved him was Gu Huaiqing, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He said worriedly: "What if Hou Zining finds out the truth and then moves on?"

The corners of Cui Yanqiu's mouth twitched, and he looked at Fang Yuanliu with the eyes of a fool, and couldn't understand how Fang Yuanliu could have such a brain hole.

So he said helplessly: "Shut up your brain."

Fang Yuanliu still stood there with a worried face.

Cui Yanqiu decided to let him worry about it alone, then turned around by himself and continued to find his way.

Fang Yuanliu stood for a while, and then suddenly came back to life with full blood. He said to himself cheerfully, "But Yanqiu only likes me, so what am I afraid of? Hehe, I can also go and stimulate Hou Zining."

Cui Yanqiu: ...

Soon the next day came, and Cui Yanqiu was standing by the set with the script in his hand, his eyes swept over Hou Zining's direction, he had already prepared everything, and was waiting for the first scene in the script to start shooting.

Accompanied by the voice of the assistant, Cui Yanqiu put down the script in his hand, took a deep breath and walked over.

Soon, preparations for shooting began.

The plot of this scene is the first meeting between the male lead and the second male lead. At that time, the second male lead was being chased by someone, and then the male lead helped him. This was the beginning of their friendship. When they were rescued, the second male lead sincerely Thanks to the hero.

But later, as the friendship deepened, the male second's heart gradually became distorted, because the male lead was too good, all his efforts were like the fluorescence of rotten grass, covered by the light of the male lead.

Until the end, even the gratitude from the first meeting disappeared silently. Later, recalling the scene of the first meeting, the male second only felt that the tall and straight figure of the male protagonist at that time had become so obtrusive.

Until the end, he finally perverted in silence and killed the hero. Gu Huaiqing used a flashback technique in this script. The beginning of the plot is the death of the hero. It has been filming for a month now, and finally Shot the first sight part.

At this time, on the set, Hou Zining and Cui Yanqiu met again, and then they faced each other again.

Cui Yanqiu had already put on the pair of glasses Gu Huaiqing gave him, Hou Zining glanced at him, suddenly frowned and said, "Where did these glasses come from?"

Cui Yanqiu smiled, and deliberately asked: "Of course it was prepared by the crew, what's the matter? Is there a problem?"

Hou Zining took a closer look at the extremely familiar glasses, and then suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head trying to dispel the chaotic thoughts in his mind, left a sentence: "It's okay", and hurriedly turned his eyes away.

Cui Yanqiu looked at Hou Zining's reaction and smiled confidently.

Both of them stood in their positions immediately, and with the director's "action!", the shooting started.

Hou Zining squatted in a corner, carefully avoiding the beatings of the crowd in front of him. Suddenly he heard someone say something behind the wall, and then the crowd around him dispersed a little.

Due to the actions of the crowd, a cloud of dust was raised on the ground. Hou Zining coughed twice in the dust, and then turned his gaze to the intruder who came suddenly.

Through the gaps in the crowd, Hou Zining vaguely saw Cui Yanqiu's figure. The young man looked gentle and handsome, and the glasses on his face added a bit of stability. Hou Zining narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling more and more uncomfortable in his heart.

Today's Cui Yanqiu is not the same as usual, perhaps because of the pair of glasses, Hou Zining feels that Cui Yanqiu's demeanor and temperament have changed a bit, becoming... somewhat familiar.

He was in a daze, but saw a white and slender hand suddenly stretched out in front of his eyes, Cui Yanqiu grabbed him, and then started to run wildly.

Hou Zining quickly restrained his thoughts and devoted himself to filming. After the two ran for a certain distance, Hou Zining fell to the ground according to the script.

Cui Yanqiu stopped immediately, looked at Hou Zining panting, and asked, "How is it? Can you still run?"

Hou Zining pretended to be the male number two struggling to support himself at this time, squatting up with difficulty, and continued according to the script: "I'm fine, you go first..." Before he finished speaking, Hou Zining raised his eyes to Cui Yanqiu, and then But suddenly froze.

He froze on the spot for a long time before he could finish his previous lines. The director called "Cut" in confusion, but Hou Zining still maintained that posture, staring at Cui Yanqiu in a daze.

Cui Yanqiu was anxiously looking behind him, but Hou Zining could only see a small half of the other person's face, and the slightly larger frame hanging on the face.

And this scene was so similar to his memory.

On that day more than ten years ago, he was injured and almost fell into a coma. The last thing he saw when he was conscious was such a picture. The half face of the person who rescued him at that time was almost the same as Cui Yanqiu.

Reality and memories appeared in Hou Zining's mind in turn, and his brain was in chaos. After being frozen for a long time, he suddenly regained consciousness, grabbed Cui Yanqiu's wrist, and hissed, "Who are you?"

Cui Yanqiu looked at him with a puzzled expression, and opened his mouth to say something.

But Hou Zining found that he couldn't hear Cui Yanqiu's words clearly. In fact, he couldn't hear everything right now. He didn't hear the director yell "Cut" a few times, and he didn't realize that the whole crew was watching his weird behavior. , he just stared at Cui Yanqiu, and growled: "You and Gu... What is your relationship with him!?"

Hou Zining's gaze was almost fierce, his brain was so swelled that his thoughts were confused, but he was keenly aware of a cruel fact, he may have been wrong for so many years, Gu Huaiqing was really not the one who saved him, he After being attached to it for so long, it turned out to be all wrong.

This fact pierced Hou Zining's heart like ice water. The desire to know the identity of that person overwhelmed everything. He held Cui Yanqiu's wrist tightly and shouted again: "What is your relationship with him?! He is who?"

Hou Zining didn't know what to call the person who saved him, so he could only say "he", which was too vague for others to understand.

Although Cui Yanqiu understood what Hou Zining was talking about, he still looked at Hou Zining with a puzzled expression, but he was relieved in his heart, knowing that he had succeeded.

Cui Yanqiu frowned and raised his hand, trying to get rid of Hou Zining's shackles, but Hou Zining held his wrist so hard that he couldn't break free.

Cui Yanqiu frowned, looking at Hou Zining with boredom.

Hou Zining seemed to be stimulated by this look, he trembled suddenly, and let go of his hand like an electric shock, Cui Yanqiu immediately turned and left without hesitation.

Hou Zining stared at Cui Yanqiu's back, but couldn't get an answer. His breathing gradually became heavier under anxiety. After a few rough pant, he turned and left, leaving behind the bewildered staff members on the set.

Someone tried to dissuade them, but Fang Yuanliu waved his hand to stop them, so everyone watched Hou Zining leave halfway.

But Fang Yuanliu looked at Cui Yanqiu's wrist with concern. The originally fair wrist was now red, which looked quite shocking. Fang Yuanliu raised his hand to stroke the reddened skin distressedly, and said with concern: "It's okay, Do you want to take a look?"

Cui Yanqiu raised his hand to look, knowing that his wrist would inevitably turn blue tomorrow, but he was in a good mood, he smiled and said: "I succeeded."

Fang Yuanliu said angrily, "But you were injured too!"

Fang Yuanliu asked someone to bring an ice pack, asked Cui Yanqiu to sit on the chair, and then covered Cui Yanqiu's wrist with the ice pack.

Cui Yanqiu sat down obediently, stroked Fang Yuanliu's hair with the other hand, and said softly: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Fang Yuanliu raised his head and glared at Cui Yanqiu.

Cui Yanqiu shut up with a guilty conscience.

A few minutes later, Cui Yanqiu found that Fang Yuanliu was trying to wrap a bandage on his wrist.

He couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and then said weakly: "It's really fine, it's only a few days at most."

Fang Yuanliu immediately retorted: "It's all green and you still say it's okay?"

Cui Yanqiu was speechless, and finally he said helplessly: "I'm not Princess Pea, I'm not so delicate."

Fang Yuanliu finally realized that he had overreacted, he put down the bandage in his hand, and looked at Cui Yanqiu with a straight face.

Cui Yanqiu looked at him obediently.

Fang Yuanliu finally sighed and asked, "Did Hou Zining recognize you just now?"

Cui Yanqiu smiled, and then confirmed: "He realized that the person who saved him before was not Gu Huaiqing, and he is doubting my identity."

Fang Yuanliu carefully moved the ice pack on Cui Yanqiu's wrist, and then asked: "Then what are you going to do next?"

Cui Yanqiu said: "Do nothing, Hou Zining will investigate by himself."

Cui Yanqiu's current identity is Cui Tingshi's younger brother, he shouldn't know the many ties between Cui Tingshi and Hou Zining, so he can only arouse Hou Zining's doubts and let the other party investigate by themselves.

And judging from Hou Zining's attitude just now, he obviously couldn't wait to start the investigation, and Cui Yanqiu had undoubtedly achieved his goal.

Fang Yuanliu thought for a while, then nodded clearly, and once again devoted himself to the great cause of helping Cui Yanqiu with ice compresses.

Cui Yanqiu sat on the chair, looked at the head of Fang Yuanliu who was busy squatting in front of him, and then promised softly: "I will pay attention to safety, and soon, the plan will be completed."

☆、Love and hate and decisive battle

When Hou Zining left the Mushi film and television base, his mind was in a mess.

For so long, he has always believed that the person who saved him was Gu Huaiqing, because when he woke up from the hospital, he recognized Gu Huaiqing's glasses at a glance.

He was already in a semi-comatose state when he was escaping before, and he only had time to look at the rescuer from bottom to top before losing consciousness, but in order to find him again, he specially memorized the shape of the other person's mirror frame.

And Gu Huaiqing's frame matched his memory, so even though Gu Huaiqing kept denying that he saved people, Hou Zining still only felt that Gu Huaiqing didn't like him, so he deliberately refused to admit it.

Only now did he realize that what Gu Huaiqing said was true, that the person who saved him back then might really be someone else, and that person must have something to do with Cui Yanqiu.

Because when Cui Yanqiu looked at him just now, both his demeanor and appearance were very similar to that person back then. Over the years, Gu Huaiqing recalled that person's appearance countless times, and he was sure that he would not admit his mistake again.

He couldn't bear to miss the opportunity to know the identity of that person again, so he decided to check on Cui Yanqiu's relatives, so he ran out of the set in a hurry, found a secluded corner and called Zhang Wanyi.

Zhang Wanyi was not slow to pick up the phone, but after connecting, he asked in a bad tone: "What's the matter?"

Hou Zining opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that Zhang Wanyi would never help him if he bluntly said what he was going to do, so he hesitated for a moment before he asked, "Can you check Cui Yanqiu's family information?"

Zhang Wanyi seemed a little surprised, he asked: "What's wrong?"

Hou Zining was silent for a while, and found that he couldn't think of a good explanation, so he finally pleaded: "I should have never begged you to do anything in all these years, so I beg you to check it out for me this time."

On the other side of the phone, Zhang Wanyi raised his eyebrows, feeling that Hou Zining's current state is a bit interesting, he has always been a cold-blooded and ruthless person, the more anxious others are, the more he wants to watch the fun, so he replied: "What qualifications do you have to let me help you?"

Hou Zining had already guessed that Zhang Wanyi would say this. If he had heard Zhang Wanyi say that in normal times, he would have felt somewhat dissatisfied, but at this moment, the desire to know the result overwhelmed everything, and he completely abandoned himself. With dignity, I begged again: "I can do anything, please check for me."

It was the first time Zhang Wanyi saw Hou Zining lose his composure. He raised his eyebrows with great interest, and had to admit that he was also a little interested in it, so he replied: "Okay, I will check for you, but wait I'll get paid when you come back."

Hou Zining's expression froze, but he still responded: "Okay!"

Only then was Zhang Wanyi satisfied, and he reminded: "Don't embarrass me on Mu Shi's set." Then he hung up the phone

Hou Zining waited anxiously for the next few days. He knew that Cui Yanqiu was a local. He guessed that the other party's family should not have many relatives. Once he got the list of other family members, he would be able to find that person.

During the few days of waiting, another event that aroused heated public opinion occurred. The Magnolia Award, the highest award in the domestic film industry, announced the nomination list for the new award, and Cui Yanqiu's name was impressively listed.

In fact, not only Cui Yanqiu was nominated for leading actor, "Hypnosis Notebook" won 6 nominations for a single work. It is rare for this work to achieve both box office and word-of-mouth.

On the other hand, Quen Ren was only nominated for the award of best costume, and Hou Zining was not nominated either. For a moment, he and Cui Yanqiu were judged against each other.

Everyone is talking about it. It seems that Hou Zining is really going to give up. Many people thought that Hou Zining's era would last for a long time, because at that time, there was no actor in China who had the strength to compete with Hou Zining.

But to everyone's surprise, a rookie who turned out to be a newcomer defeated Hou Zining within a few years, and this rookie was so young and outstanding, he won openly and aboveboard, leaving everyone speechless.

If Cui Yanqiu can really win the best actor this time, then the domestic entertainment industry will really change its dynasty.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing a miracle happen.

Zhang Wanyi was furious after hearing the news, but although he has his own film and television empire NK, it is still not enough to affect the selection of the Yulan Award, so he can only wait for the selection results.

And at this moment, he received an investigation report on Cui Yanqiu from his subordinates, and when he saw the column where the family members went to his brother, Zhang Wanyi was stunned.

He would never have thought that the person who caused him such a headache and caused NK to lose so much in recent years was actually Cui Tingshi's younger brother.

He threw away the report in his hand, then called Hou Zining, and asked, "Did you already know?"

As soon as Hou Zining heard it, he knew that Zhang Wanyi had already found out the result. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his voice was still a little excited. He asked, "Have you found out the result?"

Zhang Wanyi snorted coldly: "It was found out." After a pause, he continued, "So, did you realize that Cui Yanqiu is Cui Tingshi's younger brother?"

Hou Zining stayed where he was as if he had experienced a thunderbolt from the blue sky. After a long time, he asked dully, "Then...does he have any other brothers?"

Seeing that Hou Zining didn't answer his own question and dared to ask back, Zhang Wanyi was a little annoyed and said, "Tell me, did you notice it, and that's why you asked me to investigate?"

Hou Zining smiled bitterly, thinking how could I know?If I knew that the result of the investigation was like this, how could I ask you to investigate it?

Holding his last hope, he asked: "I don't know, can you tell me if Cui Yanqiu has another brother?"

Zhang Wanyi snorted again in disbelief, and said in a vicious voice: "No, his parents are the only son in the family, and he only has an older brother, Cui Tingshi. Oh, by the way, Cui Tingshi's real name was originally Cui Tanqiu."

Hou Zining's last hope was shattered, the phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, but he didn't realize it at all, and soon he squatted on the ground himself, only absurdity remained in his heart.

how can that be possible?He just killed one person, he hated Cui Tingshi to the bone, how could the other person be his former savior?

He must have made a mistake. In fact, the person who saved him just looked like Cui Yanqiu, that must be the case.
