The smile raised because of receiving the phone call froze on the corners of his lips, Pei Zhihe's hurried running pace became slower and slower until he froze completely——

"What do you mean?"

Shanglu said word by word: "I am going to delete all Aunt Su's scenes."

Pei Zhihe suddenly squeezed the phone tightly, "Why? Yes, is it so serious?..." He spoke incoherently, his eyes shattered due to panic, "Mom, she didn't do it on purpose, it was Ke Yu who pulled her to hype... Shang Lu, Shanglu, listen to me——Mom, she knows that she made a mistake, and she regrets and apologizes—"

"Zihe, calm down."

"—how did you tell me to calm down!" Pei Zhihe couldn't breathe, and an angry question broke out from his suffocated chest, "I know it's her fault for going too far—you promised me, first Movies let mom play your part, let me play and record the soundtrack for you...you can’t break your word, you can’t break your word with me.”

"Xiaozhi, her behavior has seriously hurt the audience's goodwill towards the film, and also hurt Ke Yu's reputation and career. You will not be clear about this. I will call her personally to inform her later."

Pei Zhi leaned against the wall like a loser.

"In the future, when you return to mainland China to make a movie, let your mother be your heroine, and I will record the theme song for you."

Autumn in France is golden, with the intoxicating fragrance of grapes in the air, and the long wind blowing through the wheat fields in the countryside. He helped Shanglu hold the microphone, and the two shared the same hifi earmuff to listen to the sound of the wind together.

He still remembers Shanglu's smile and a "yes".

Shanglu never lied to anyone or broke an appointment, and he was always upright and decisive. When he said "yes", it was really good.The flattery, hypocrisy and flattery in the wealthy family have long since made the people here lose the virtue of honesty, and also made them lose the ability to distinguish lies and hypocrisy.Only Shanglu is different.

With pale and thin eyelids closed, Pei Zhihe's raised throat rolled, trying to hold back the heat in his eyes.

"Can I beg you? Give me a chance, let me beg you. Mom is very face-saving, you know, if you change her, she is too embarrassed to drink afternoon tea. I have never begged you for this matter ..." Someone passed by from a distance, he choked the second half of the sentence into his throat, turned his back suddenly as if standing in punishment, and pressed his forehead against the wall.

"Zhihe, you are you, Su Huizhen is Su Huizhen, you don't have to be responsible for what she did, and I can't indulge her because of you."

Pei Zhihe's heart was twisted like a knife, the smile on his face had lost its clear meaning, and it was just like sleepwalking, "If I insist on begging you, will you forgive her because of me?"

Shang Lu heard something was wrong with him, and took it easy: "I will, but I can't."

"Meeting" refers to the 15-year-long camaraderie.

No, it is the common belief of love, justice and art.

Pei Zhihe didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He knew that if Shanglu really changed "meeting" into "capability" this time, from now on, the friendship between him and Shanglu would disappear forever.

He pursed his lips, "Do you still think Ke Yu is a genius?"

There was only the sound of shallow breathing on the other end of the phone.

Pei Zhihe snorted, and continued to laugh mockingly as if giving up on himself: "You don't dare to say it yourself, let me say it for you, Ke Yu is not a genius, not only is he not a genius, but he is also crippled with congenital defects. You You still want to protect him, right?"

Shang Lu propped up the floor-to-ceiling windows, his palms seemed to be propped on a void: "Ke Yu is the actor I believe, and this has nothing to do with his mental blindness."

Pei Zhihe quickly wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, and said calmly, "You have changed."

Art is above all else, this is the belief given to him by the Pokemon Church.Arrhythmia shattered all the artistic possibilities of this film, and it was Ke Yu who should be replaced, not his mother, who is the queen of the movie.Shanglu should be disappointed, sad but determined to change the leading role, instead of being stubborn here.

"The way you defend him stubbornly really disappoints me." Pei Zhihe hooked his lips, "You know him, why did you take away the Shanglu I know?"

Without waiting for Shanglu to respond, he resolutely hung up the phone.

Producer Nie Jinhua, who had been under siege by the crew for a long time, finally waited for the director's call.

"I can't get out," Nie Jinhua looked at the crowds of heads on the third floor outside the banquet hall, "The fans are crying and the reporters are howling. I suspect that all the fans in the entire G province who have endorsements are fucking here!"

"Thank you." Shang Lu raised his wrist to confirm the time. "I will call Yu Changle in an hour to start the casting meeting. Mr. Lao Nie will keep in touch until then."

"Casting meeting?" Nie Jinhua was stunned for a moment, and his center sank when he suddenly realized that he had a new look at the young man on the other end of the phone.At the time of the casting, he was able to overcome all opinions and protect Ke Yu, and now he can change it as he wants. This courage and heart is really extraordinary.

But as a producer, he naturally has his own position to worry about, "The current public opinion is not good for Kojima, but if he really changes, then all the scenes will have to be repeated, nothing else, just your plant The Bougainvillea that is already dying, Lao Ji has no place to get it for you. What about Su Gefei's schedule? What about Xie Miaomiao's? Every day you start work, you will get an extra day's money, I know—"

"It's not Xiaodao," Shang Lu interrupted him calmly, "It's Su Huizhen."

Nie Jinhua was completely dumbfounded, he didn't react with his mouth half-opened.

"The role of Aunt Su has been replaced by another person. Mr. Nie can also think of an actress who can come to the rescue."

Nie Jinhua shut his mouth, and then practiced Tai Chi slowly, "Whether I change the island or Su Huizhen, I can't make the decision. In this way, I will pass on your opinion to Mr. Gu, let's see—"

Shang Lu didn't mention the matter of leapfrog communication. If he said bluntly that he had arranged everything with the GC leader, it would be very detrimental to Gu Xiu's work.He nodded, "Okay, I don't think he will refuse."

After hanging up the call, Shang Lu called out Yu Changle's cell phone number, but he didn't dial out immediately, but stood quietly for a while.He rested on the floor-to-ceiling window glass with one elbow, deeply rubbing the sore and tired brows with his fingertips.

I was even so tired that I wanted to smoke a cigarette.

When Ke Yu came out of the bedroom, he saw that Shang Lu really had a cigarette between his fingers.

It's Yunyan.

But he didn't have the habit of bringing cigarettes on the set. Old Du Jing always gave him cigarettes. Where did Shanglu get this cigarette?

With the hand holding the cigarette, he was also holding the rim of the hotel water glass, and the other hand was holding the mobile phone, listening to what the other party said, he took a sip of water, and when he spoke, his voice was extremely low and hoarse.

"Then an online meeting will be held in one and a half hours, and I will notify Mr. Nie simultaneously that there is Teacher Lao Yu."

Yu Changle heaved a long sigh: "Fortunately, it was Su Huizhen who changed, and it was easy to find someone to help. If you really changed Ke Yu, it would not be so easy."

"I watched Director Tang's "Falling" before. Cheng Cheng is a good actress, I don't know if she has a schedule. "

"Sister Chengzi has her own personality, she may not be willing to save Su Huizhen's situation, let me ask."

Although I couldn't hear what Yu Changle was talking about, the five words "Cheng Cheng's schedule" had already leaked the secret.

The sleepiness of the afternoon nap dissipated completely in these few whispers, and Ke Yu slowly opened his eyes wide, showing a daze that although he had guessed intellectually, he had not yet reacted emotionally.

Shang Lu caught Ke Yu from the light reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows, turned around and asked him with his lips, "Are you awake?" Ke Yu shook his head and nodded again. The smoking hand took him into his arms.

Ke Yu took the cigarette out of his hand, didn't smoke it himself, and stubbed it out in the beautiful ashtray.

Shanglu was still talking on the phone, the situation should be controllable, he was not that anxious, and he was smiling slightly when he spoke, his chest resonated with his low-pitched words, Ke Yu listened closely, mixed with his strong heartbeat.

After Yu Changle finished communicating, Ke Yu asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"One hour."

"How long have you been calling?"

"An hour too."

Ke Yu was speechless, and made a call to the VIP service office, asking the other party to bring some throat lozenges.

"Where's the silly girl?"

"Go down to sleep."

Ke Yu picked out an apple from the fruit plate, "Why did you change to Su Huizhen? She acted very well."

"She acted very well, but the scandals of the past few months have overdrawn her." Shang Lu said lightly, "Not only as a director, but as one of the producers, I am also very worried about what problems will happen to her in the future."

Ke Yu took a bite of the apple, "Why are you the producer? Obviously Uncle Ming."

Uncle Ming is the legal person and front-screen boss of March Film and Television, and Zheng Shiming will be written on the producer at that time.

Shang Lu was made to laugh: "Okay, fine, then I'll call Uncle Ming now."

Ke Yu laughed self-deprecatingly: "You help me out for this sake, do you count as an avenging public revenge, public weapons and private use of a foolish king?"

"If you think too much, I will help anyone who can help me make money, and I will replace whoever hinders me from making money."

Shanglu's tone was indifferent and careless, as if he was saying a truth that didn't need to be said.He wrapped up his selfishness in a high-sounding manner, just so that Ke Yu could also deceive himself and others to feel better.

Ke Yu looked at him sideways, his gaze was gentle but not dodging, then he pursed the corners of his lips and bent, "I have already said that your movie is very good in every aspect, including the script, story, investors, and crew, including You yourself are impeccable, and the only uncertainty is me."

"Now you finally have the opportunity to correct this risk, why don't you do it?"

Shanglu didn't answer him directly, but stood up instead, as if he was going to the cloakroom.The lights were not turned on there, and his tall figure disappeared into the shadows, and he seemed to be rummaging through something.

"Your original room was not safe. I asked the butler to pack your luggage for you just now. I wanted to take a few puffs of cigarettes on a whim, so I rummaged through your suitcase."

Ke Yujing waited for his next words.

With a flash of light, Shanglu came back to the light from the dim light, holding a transparent plastic bag in his hand.

"Teacher Ke."

Ke Yu's face turned pale, and the fingers hanging by his side curled up.

"Tell me, is it because of depression that you take medicine as a meal, or is it because of other reasons?"

In the plastic bag, there are countless tablets of citalopram hydrobromide.

"I……"

His Adam's apple rolled, his eyes focused on the pills, and then shifted to Phytella's face with a blurred focus.

"Don't lie to me." Shang Lu blocked his retreat before he could speak, "I don't like being deceived by you in person."

Ke Yu used the most difficult determination to make a light smile, "Slightly depressed, I didn't want to tell you."

Shang Lu was startled, his eyes dimmed and lost: "I don't deserve your truth, do I?"

Sheng Guoer tossed and turned in her own high-end suite.Phytophthora came to ask her about the medicines, and she said, "Ms. Ke will take this medicine every time the number of NGs increases."That was her own keen observation, and she never asked Ke Yu to verify it.She only knows that every time Ke Yu takes this medicine, he can barely pass the difficult scenes, and the eyes that are scolded bloody will have the look that belongs to the character.

She was convinced and doubtful about Ke Yu's depression.He obviously looks so calm, but he is so dependent on this medicine.Sheng Guoer thought, maybe calmness is just superficial. Who wouldn't experience a surge of stress and negative emotions when dragging down the entire crew and being stared at by the director with such disappointed eyes?Then it is logical that Teacher Ke always takes medicine at this time.

"That's the truth—"

"I transferred your case."

Ke Yu's deliberate and calm smile looked weird and contemptuous because of being exposed in this sentence, he still curled his lips, but his heart was empty: "Shanglu, you can't treat me like this."

During the countless times of hypnosis, he did not know how many secrets he told, as well as the extremely decadent self-statements he talked about in order to cheat medicine, as if he was a broken, rotten, and hopeless black hole.

"is fake--"

Ke Yu's fingertips twitched nervously, "It's fake! I don't have depression, and the statements in the case are all made up by me. I don't have depression. This medicine——"

"This medicine."

"This medicine... citalopram hydrobromide, it's..." Ke Yu looked up and closed his eyes, feeling as if the heat from the ceiling lamp was burning him, "I took it when I was acting."

"Why." Shang Lu threw up the medicine, as if he was holding his unequivocal evidence of guilt.

"Why..." Ke Yu clenched her fist tightly, pinching her fingertips into her palm.

There are so many secrets he wants to hide, and Shanglu just pulls a thread, which already makes him stretched out.

To cover up Yuno, you can only say that depression is fake.

To admit that depression is fake, there must be a justification for the drug's use.

After talking about the reason for taking the medicine, Shang Lu will find out that he cheated day after day in the crew.

What "is in good condition", what "improves quickly", and what "acts accurately" are all just jokes about his cheating on drugs.

"Because I can only act well when I take this medicine." Ke Yu watched Shanglu quietly, "You think that heart blindness is not painful or itchy, and you think I can teach you, but in fact it is all an illusion I gave you .”

Shanglu lowered his hand, and the medicine board made a rattling sound as he moved.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you. I didn't adjust your medical records. I didn't know that your depression was fake."

Ke Yu was stunned, and suddenly felt a sense of absurdity and powerlessness of his own making.

"So——" Shang Lu asked indifferently, "The help I've been doing to you all this time is actually not as good as you swallowing two pills, is it?"

"Qi Danan will send all the shots here immediately, which one has taken the medicine and which one has not, just say what you remember clearly, and I will talk to you one by one."

Ke Yu was stunned: "Why?"

"No reason, I just want to know the real you."

Ke Yu smiled bleakly: "There's no need to insult me ​​like this, I can tell you right now, I ate every one—every one with difficulty and level of NG more than five times."

Shanglu's lips moved.It was the first time for Ke Yu to see such a look on his face, it seemed that he had been beaten invisibly, mixed with pain and confusion, for a long while, he didn't say anything harsh, only asked: "Why do you want to spoil yourself so much?" .”

Ke Yu couldn't bear his gaze, and stared down at the machine-drawn jacquard on the carpet under his feet, concealing the desperation in his heart: "I don't want to see you disappointed in me."

Shang Lu hooked his lips inexplicably, but the smile didn't show, "I've never been disappointed in you—except now."

"Ms. Ke, for 25 years, I have always been very confident. I believe in God's rewards, I believe in talent, and I also believe in concentration, perseverance and hard work. Trust me."
