Play bone

Although he told Ye Mengdie that his "girlfriend" would not care, in fact Lu Li suspected that Shen Xingxuan had never heard of this miniature scandal at all.

But in the past, not only would Shen Xingze not "don't care", but he would become jealous and even do some absurd things that ordinary people can't do.

Doing the math, that was almost six years ago.

At that time, Lu Li had just recovered from a serious illness, and he had just learned that Spotlight was in Shen Xingxuan's pocket.He proposed to Shen Xingze to abolish the 20-year long contract of everyone including himself, but he has not received a reply for a long time.Immediately afterwards, many people and things around him began to change, like a tune-shifted movement, skewed in a strange direction.

Those who drafted and lured Lu Li into signing the 20-year contract were gradually dismissed.Immediately afterwards, everything from the manager to the assistant disappeared completely.The new team took over, but it wasn't for Lu Li's star journey.

For the next two years, obviously at Shen Xingze's behest, Spotlight only arranged for Lu Li to be part of a film once a year, which lasted no more than three months.For the remaining nine months, apart from sporadic roadshows and advertising photos, Lu Li could only stay at home and accept semi-mandatory recuperation.

It should also be at the behest of Shen Xingze, the propaganda strategy against Lu Li is also low-key to the point of weirdness.No hype, no participation in variety shows, and even few autographs and photos with fans.Such negative marketing greatly reduced Lu Li's exposure, which was obviously what Shen Xingze expected.

If possible, he would even find a box and put Lu Li in it.

In the second year under Shen Xingxuan's control, Lu Li got the lead role in a new play.The one who played the couple with him was Xiao Hua who had just started to become popular at that time.Xiaohua's team has a habit of always like to tie up the male actors who are filming in the same group for gossip hype.

The male protagonist is often the first choice, and by the way, it can also give people the illusion of "beautiful over the heroine".Unfortunately, the male protagonist of this show has a married man, so the team turned their attention to Lu Li.

The draft of the hype was pushed to various media before the show went live.It describes the love process between Lu Li and Xiao Hua in the film crew with deep affection and love between you and me.There are also a few photos of the two eating, talking and laughing in the crew.

During the few days when the news came out, Shen Xingze happened to be abroad.Lu Li wasn't stupid enough to take the initiative to bump into the gun and ask him how he felt.Things were buzzing for a while before being overwhelmed by new hot spots.Later, when Shen Xing chose to return to the country, apart from the fact that Lu Li was a bit demanding in the first few days, he seemed to be fine.

Until the day of the finale of the TV series, the news that caused a sensation on the social network was suddenly kicked out - a married director in Xiaohuami's circle, holding hands in a hotel room late at night, and kissing passionately in front of the French windows.

No one was curious about the source of the news, after all, every entertainment reporter has special means of spying on scandals.However, Lu Li vaguely felt that this matter must have something to do with Shen Xingxuan.

Back to reality - Lu Li and Ye Mengdie are not big idols after all, this "miniature scandal" was quickly diluted by the amount of information on the Internet, and quickly faded out of people's sight.

For Lu Li, the only serious consequence was that he and several others were interviewed by the homeroom teacher separately, which led to the exposure of the nocturnal zoo incident and severely scolded him.

After listening to the scolding and writing the self-criticism, study and life are still the same.

The "feat" of visiting the zoo at night turned Lu Li from a senior cadre with "virtue and skill" into a troublesome "Kid King".The combination of the two produced a chemical reaction, which unexpectedly made Lu Li's popularity rise instead of drop.

It can be regarded as hard work pays off, Ye Mengdie's performance slowly began to improve, and finally broke through the cocoon of self-restraint.And the teacher's praise at the right time brought the students' goodwill. Starting with Wei Zi, more and more girls were willing to communicate with her.

Everything seems to be starting to enter a virtuous circle.As the saying goes, "Think of lust when you are full of warmth", naturally, Lu Li thought of that person again.

Since the departure of the Qiushan Base, Lu Li and Shen Xingze have maintained a close relationship for a long time.A little more intimacy than superiors and subordinates, a little less intimacy than friends.But at any rate, you don’t have to weigh every word you send, and you won’t feel uneasy because you don’t get a reply for a while.

The only thing that Lu Li wasn't used to was that Shen Xingxuan seemed to have given up on testing him.Maybe it was the signature letter that had a subtle influence, maybe it was the words on the night of New Year's Eve that made Shen Xing choose to die.

This is a good thing, but it is not a good thing.Lu Li had never felt his inner conflict so clearly.

However, having conflicts does not mean that he will hesitate - he already knows that he is reluctant to part with Shen Xing.So if he still wanted to stay by Shen Xingxuan's side with a new look, he had to take the initiative.

On April 4, he sent a message to Shen Xing, asking if there was any opportunity to work during the May Day holiday.Not long after, he received a call from Sister Anna, saying that on May 28, he was asked to accompany Professor Gu and his wife to Shen Xingze's home.

Lu Li wasn't surprised at all. This was what he was waiting for - May 2nd, Shen Xingze's birthday.

Shen Xingze has had the habit of celebrating birthdays "every five and ten" since he was a child. This is what Lu Li heard about at his 20th birthday party.

They were both sophomores at the time.In the second half of the semester, the class is preparing for a teaching report performance.As the male number one, Shen Xing rehearses for plays every day until he is exhausted.But on his birthday, he still invited the dormitory members and a few close classmates to come out to relax.

At that time, Lu Li was depressed because he lost in the male number one election.I drank a little more wine during dinner, and soon after I entered the KTV, I started to go crazy, clamoring for a one-on-one match with today's birthday man.

While ordering He Muliang and the others to sing first, Shen Xingze dragged the cursing Lu Li into the bathroom of the private room, and turned on the faucet to cool his hot head that was reeking of alcohol.

As he rushed, the door of the toilet was locked.The two were also stuck together.

That was the first time that Shen Xingxuan clearly expressed his feelings for Lu Li.There is no affectionate confession, only the kind of love that hates to the teeth, which tilts down like an avalanche.

And Shen Xingxuan's reckless behavior was like a strong medicine, penetrating Lu Li's two veins of Ren and Du.It made him suddenly understand that his depression and unhappiness these days was not purely due to jealousy.

He wanted to win against Shen Xingze, to become someone that Shen Xingze could not ignore, and to always stand in the center of Shen Xingze's line of sight, the most important position.

The youthful love affair of just two years started out of impulsiveness, and died because of impulsiveness.

Five years later, when Lu Li was 25 years old, Shen Xingxuan was also 25 years old.He had been invited to his birthday party, but it was no longer a casual occasion for hooking shoulders.

Shen Xingze always stood in the center of the brightly lit crowd, and almost no one would notice Lu Li in the corner.In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Li is just a nobody under Shen Xingze's banner, the kind who can only receive one play a year.

So no one noticed Lu Li's gaze at that time, noticed that he was biting his nails subconsciously, his brows were slightly frowned, and the other hand resting on Erlang's lap lightly tapped his knee once, twice...

If Shen Xingze could notice, then he must understand, this is Lu Li's gesture of calculating.

Lu Li carefully selected a few people inside and outside the venue of the birthday party, and subtly revealed some news that few outsiders knew.Including the unspoken rules of spotlighting the weak and the strong, the cruel 20-year contract and the strong desire to control the private life of the artist.

The news sent out was processed and fermented by the media, and finally stewed into a hodgepodge, which was served steaming in front of netizens.

This "birthday gift" to Shen Xingze forced Juguang to hold several press conferences.While clarifying the problem, quickly rectifying it, and rescinding the contract, an internal investigation of the leaker has also begun.

With the mentality of one person doing things alone, Lu Li took the initiative to be honest with Shen Xingze.

After several fierce conflicts, Shen Xing chose to only refuse to abolish Lu Li's 20-year contract, but he agreed to amend the content of the contract, allowing Lu Li to choose his own manager and assistant, and decide the work schedule.

The premise of all this is that Lu Li must undergo a physical examination twice a year.In the event of overwork or recurrence of old diseases, you must follow the company's arrangements and adjust your work.

This may not be the most perfect result, but at least it doesn't make Lu Li feel righteous indignation anymore.The new agent and assistant are very dedicated candidates, and he quickly won good resources for him.He felt like a seed that had been hibernating for a long time had finally begun to germinate and was unstoppable.

Until that tragic midnight car accident, all dreams were turned into nothingness.

Another five years passed in the blink of an eye, no, it should be six years.Shen Xingcho is 31 years old this year.Although it is not clear why there was no movement on his birthday last year, but since mid-April this year, the industry has successively published the invitation letters received.

Standing at thirty, what kind of special perception will Shen Xing choose?

------------

At four o'clock in the afternoon on May 5, Lu Li came to the family building on the north side of the China Film Academy on time, and knocked on the door of Professor Gu's house.

Although the freshmen had been there to comment on the clumsy show at the beginning of the semester, Professor Gu did not really teach their acting class throughout the freshman year.Lu Li originally thought that even if he called in advance, the old man might not be able to match his name with his face.However, as soon as the door opened, he still heard the most cordial greeting.

"Here we come, your mistress is still picking out flowery clothes, come in and sit down first."

That respectable and lovely old man Gu was standing less than two meters away from Lu Li.The straps of the old-fashioned suit were already taut, and there were two ties of different colors hanging around his neck. A strand of his thinning white hair hung down on his forehead, but his face was still glowing red.

Lu Li's nose was a little sore, he quickly held back and lowered his head to change his slippers.

Old man Gu stopped him: "It's okay, you don't need to take it off."

It's okay.Lu Li sniffed. He knew that the old man had this kind of personality—he was very polite to people he didn't know well, but once he got acquainted, he would reveal his true colors immediately.If he became his favorite student, it would not be enough to take off his shoes. Even the color of the socks would be a lot of gossip to talk about.This is treating people as their own children.

Lu Li deliberately changed into a new pair of socks today. They were clean, with no holes or patterns.He wants to use this pair of socks to speak for himself and say: Mr. Gu, the students have never forgotten what you said.
