Play bone

Looking at Ma Meng, who was unshaven and out of his mind, Lu Li shivered.

"What's wrong with you? You look like a ghost."

Ma Meng's eyes swept over Lu Li, but his face remained expressionless, he didn't even say hello, and lazily shrank back into the bed.

Of course, Lu Li felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to his desk to put down his luggage, took out a few bags of dried fish fillets and homemade tiger skin quail eggs, and took them to test Ma Meng.

He stood outside the bed surround, called "Ma Xiaomeng" twice, but there was no answer, and then stretched out his hand to open a crack of the bed surround.All of a sudden, an ecstasy of rancid smell rushed over.

Lu Li hurriedly took half a step back, calmed down and looked again: the quilt, pillow and pillow towel on the bed were crumpled up; the small desk was upside down, and a corner of the laptop screen was broken; the ashtray on the bookshelf was full, but the books were almost gone. ; There are piles of paper towels in the east and west.

And the scariest thing, of course, is Mamon who is nesting in this garbage dump.Lu Li wondered if he was trying to experience life in order to play a good homeless man.

After being astonished, of course he continued to ask, but he never expected that Lu Li's concern would actually annoy Ma Meng.

"Don't bother you...you are a busy person now, of course you don't know anything."

An adult with a beard and a beard, but he still talks like a child who is angry.

Lu Li felt a little aggrieved, but when he thought about it carefully, what Ma Meng said was true—during the four months of filming, besides acting, he had to watch dogs, and the rest of the time was given to Shen Xing, who hardly cared about him. over school.Even if you look at Moments once in a while, it's just swept away.Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Ma Meng hadn't been on the Internet for a while.

It seems that something big happened in the past few months.

Lu Li tried to comfort Ma Meng a few more words, but the consolation without grasping the key points didn't sound convincing at all.So he simply tidied up and went out again, and found Bai Jiaen and Luo Cheng in the rehearsal room of the watch teaching building.

Thankfully, the mental state of these two buddies is quite normal, and as soon as they saw Lu Li, they asked him if he had gone back to the dormitory to see Ma Meng.Lu Li nodded quickly, urging the two of them not to play tricks, but to deal with the truth.

Ma Meng has something to do, and it's a big deal - it's related to the Internet TV drama he starred in last year.

That web drama was originally scheduled to be launched in the summer file in August this year, with four episodes a week in the backstage of the web first.According to the plan, the publicity campaign will be fully launched in June and July, and the online hype and offline roadshow will be very lively.

However, in the week before the broadcast on the Internet, an order suddenly came from above, requesting that the TV version of the show be re-cut and re-examined, and the content involving bloody violence and feudal superstition should be strictly banned.

Ban it if you don’t castrate it—the TV station finally chose to temporarily adjust the schedule to cooperate with the second editing and re-censorship.

According to the regulations, any online platform is not allowed to use concepts such as "full version" and "uncut version" to disseminate unapproved content in TV dramas.This means that the website must also adjust its schedule and wait for the new version of the clip.

In desperation, after various negotiations, the overall schedule of the show was finally postponed by one month.As the saying goes, go all out, then decline, and exhaust three times.The delayed broadcast means that the previous publicity campaign has been in vain.As soon as the news came out, there was naturally an uproar on the Internet.

But that's just the beginning of a nightmare.

After finally waiting until September, the version that passed the review was finally broadcast on the video website.However, the violent deletion affected the smooth expression of the story, and even damaged the essence of the original plot.And the deleted time had to be filled with commercials and supporting roles.

The four-episode simulcast on the premiere day received rave reviews.Those who don't understand, those who complain about supporting roles stealing the show, those who laugh at the editing and special effects performances... all kinds of comments are flying in the sky, and there are even trolls bought by competing product teams, and they freely brush up mocking topics on social media .

Previously, due to the long wait of one month, the ratings of this drama on professional websites were maliciously swiped below six points, and after the broadcast, they went all the way to the bottom, hovering between four and five points.

The original broadcast period of the TV series was two months. Seeing that the word-of-mouth plunged as soon as the broadcast started, I was a little impatient in all aspects.Buying sailors, buying topic lists, publishing drafts, holding celebrity meetings... In short, all eighteen kinds of martial arts have been rounded, but the money paid is still not directly proportional to the results.Slowly, the team began to disintegrate.

First, the author of the original work silently liked a Weibo where fans complained that the TV drama ruined the IP; then the fans of the male and female leading actors also began to criticize the crew for failing the hard work of their idols; the photography accused the special effects of being low-level; Able to pour out bitter water in secret: we too dance in shackles, involuntarily.

The production team does not give a clear explanation, and the folks will naturally have various interpretations.Soon, someone came out with the second male lead of the show—that is, Ma Meng brought money into the group.In the edited version, his supporting role even lasted longer than the heroine.What's even more frightening is that more than [-]% of the advertisements interspersed in the play are Mamon.

Almost overnight, Ma Meng, a fledgling newcomer in the entertainment industry, was pushed to the cusp of bad reviews.

Although Ma Meng's company invested a lot of money in this Internet TV drama.But his family has no influence in the circle after all, and the money from all parties has been settled, so the one who gave the money is naturally no longer the uncle.Suddenly, everything seemed to have found the perfect scapegoat.

He is obviously a sunny young man with a good image, and he is obviously a top student in the class with qualified acting skills, but when it comes to public opinion, he becomes a second-generation ancestor with poor acting skills.The media wrote articles to ridicule him, and the fans who starred in him cursed his family with extremely vicious words. Even some promotional activities in the later stage of the film crew always ignored him intentionally or unintentionally.

The family's investment was in vain, and he was stigmatized—in just a few months, Mamon experienced the disaster of falling from heaven to hell.His whole mind was probably smashed to pieces, and the reassembled personality has undergone tremendous changes.

In the first few days when the negative news came out, he tried to explain it to the people around him, and even debated anonymously online.But slowly, he became more and more silent, stopped surfing the Internet, seldom went out, locked himself in the narrow walled city on the side of the bed, and even became hostile to his family and friends who cared about him.

Having said that, Bai Jiaen sighed.

"Students and teachers, everyone who should come has come to visit, but what anyone says doesn't work. His parents are flying over every now and then, trying to pick him up, but he just refuses to leave... It's not a solution, so will he still act in the future?"

"I think it's better not to act."

Luo Cheng has always spoken frankly: "His ability to resist pressure is too poor. Even if he barely survives this time, what will he do in the future? Anyway, the family is not short of money, so it's not good to do something else."

At this time, several classmates came over to say hello to Lu Li, and they were all discussing about Ma Meng.Someone suggested that Ma Meng should be found a psychiatrist, but he was worried that he would make his own opinion. If the media found out, he would label Ma Meng as a psychopath.More students feared the entertainment industry because of what happened to Ma Meng, and even worried that the same situation would happen to them.

Lu Li didn't express his opinion. After greeting his classmates, he walked towards Professor Gu who was supervising the rehearsal.

Before he could speak, Old Man Gu opened his mouth.

"You know about that boy Marmon, don't you?"

Lu Li nodded, "His drama...should have been fixed by someone, right?"

"It's not easy, even you can see it."

Old man Gu smiled wryly, then sighed again.

"Although there are not many children like Ma Meng, we still meet one or two every few years. To be honest, they are still so fragile, immature, and overly idealistic when they reach senior year. material."

Lu Li also smiled wryly: "So you also think that there is no need for him to continue in this business?"

"Whether it is necessary or not is not up to us to decide here. We have already spoken to him about what needs to be enlightened, and the key depends on whether he can survive. If he survives, the road ahead will not be too smooth. But after all, I can have a thought of turning things around. But if I can't make it... I'm afraid I have to change my career."

Old man Gu's words are undoubtedly a summary of his experience in coaching for so many years.As an educator, he must guide students to make objective judgments about their own strengths and weaknesses, and try to help him correct them.But if the student is still unable to overcome the defect, although the teacher will regret it, he may not be bitter—after all, he is an acting teacher rather than a life counselor, and there are many other students who need professional guidance.

But Lu Li is different, he is Ma Meng's brother.He couldn't let Marmon go, he wanted them to move forward side by side.

Bai Jiaen and Luo Cheng were busy rehearsing the graduation drama, and for the next three days, Lu Li volunteered to take care of Ma Meng—chatting with him; going downstairs to buy him three meals a day; , to clean up his kennel in a surprise attack; when Bai Jiaen and the others came back at noon, the three of them dragged Ma Meng to the garden downstairs for a walk.

Although he has done all these things with all his heart and no regrets, the situation has not improved because of his care.

On the contrary, Ma Meng became more and more taciturn, and his eyes were dull. He often stared at the same place for more than ten, twenty or ten minutes, which made people's hair stand on end.

At noon that day, teacher Zhao, the homeroom teacher, came to visit Ma Meng again, and called Lu Li and the other three to have a small meeting on the balcony.She said that the school has decided to assist Ma Meng's family to take Ma Meng back for treatment in the past few days. As for whether to suspend school and repeat a grade or take sick leave, anyway, it is easy to discuss in the senior year.

At this point, Lu Li also realized that Ma Meng needed some professional intervention to get out of the shadows.So I agreed with the teacher's decision.

After discussing the business, the four turned around and prepared to go back indoors.But as soon as Lu Li opened the sliding door, everyone gasped.

Ma Meng stood behind the curtain with a blank expression on his face.

The communication between the school and Ma Meng’s family soon came to fruition—his father said that he had already booked a plane ticket for noon tomorrow, and he would take Ma Meng to a hotel to live with his family first, and then look for a suitable psychological treatment institution in Beijing .

Things seem to be taking one step at a time.

After the lunch break, the homeroom teacher led Bai and Gu back to rehearse.Lu Li looked at Ma Meng and shrank back to the bed to watch "The Last Emperor". He took the opportunity to go out and send the clothes to the laundry room downstairs, and bought some fruit in the supermarket.

When he returned to 513 with the plastic bag in hand, he heard the sound of rushing water as soon as he opened the door.

The door of the toilet was ajar, and there was billowing steam coming out of it. It should be Ma Meng washing up.

Although the timing was a bit strange, it's always a good thing to have some movement - with this in mind, Lu Li walked over to help close the toilet door.But he just glanced at the crack of the door, but was so frightened that he quickly pushed the door open.

The sink was full of hot water, and Mamon stood by the sink with a shiny hand and a utility knife.

The author has something to say:

This chapter involves a little bit of Internet TV dramas, so don't check in with any existing Internet TV dramas!

The article mentioned that "no online platform shall use concepts such as "full version" and "uncut version" to disseminate unapproved content in TV dramas." Abridged version.Ma Meng's drama is not dared, because it has been targeted from the beginning, and of course it cannot commit crimes against the wind.

Therefore, it is difficult to have money but no power. Of course, a bad mentality is fatal.We are all ordinary people, sometimes we should compare our hearts.

Some readers should have noticed that the last scene is exactly the beginning of the last emperor, the way Puyi committed suicide.
