Shadow for the Emperor

"Why didn't Brother Wen come today?" Zhu Ling flipped through today's script, with a trace of frustration hidden in his seemingly casual tone, "I heard from Director Yang that he asked for leave today?"

"Yeah." Xiao Zhe was familiar with the lines sullenly.

"Hey, why are you so busy? Director Yang went on a business trip a few days ago, and when he came back, he was in a bad mood. Brother Wen's behind the scene is quite heavy, so running around like this will be very tiring."

"No, he's still in Guilin, so he can't run very far." Xiao Zhe remembered that night when he suddenly woke up to listen to his phone call, his teeth were itchy with hatred, "He's going to see an old friend."

"Could it be?" Zhu Ling smiled suggestively, his eyes turned into crescents, making it difficult to detect the emotion in those eyes.

"No, where did you think, it's a man." Xiao Zhe dispelled Zhu Ling's doubts, but he couldn't dispel his——

He was worried only if it was a man and Wu Bailiu.

What's more, I still went to see Mo Lian.

He asked three questions in a row that night, and Wen Sheng only answered the last one.

As for Mo Lian, he remembered that he asked, "Don't selectively ignore my question, why did you go to see Mo Lian? Are you trying to vent my anger?"

Wen Sheng had just finished eating Xiao Zhe's tofu, and he smiled brightly, "You think too much."

"Then what are you going to do? It's not about signing Batty, is it?"

"You think too much."

Xiao Zhe didn't know that with such a condensed four words, when Mo Lian asked Wen Sheng the same question, he could make it even more condensed.

Yuanfeng Hotel.

"I'm so happy to hear that Bailiu said that you want to see me." Although Mo Lian took good care of herself, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were still obvious when she smiled. "Do you want to come to Batty? If I recommend you, I promise It can make you red and purple within a year."

Wen Sheng raised the goblet filled with red wine, and shook it gently in his hand. Every time the liquid in the glass rose, his eyes lit up a little.

Seeing his appearance, Mo Lian thought there was some drama, so she also raised the goblet with an ambiguous expression.

Wu Bailiu looked at the two people's smiles with different meanings, and for some reason, his heart felt a little fuzzy. He took out his mobile phone that didn't vibrate at all from his trouser pocket, "Hello, huh? The signal is not good... you Wait, I'll go out and listen, hello? Hello..." He walked to the balcony of the box without hesitation, and kindly closed the floor-to-ceiling windows with excellent sound insulation effect.

"I have a play in my hand. It was adapted from a popular novel. When it was serialized, it was the most popular on the Internet. The male lead is very likable. Of course, this role is also very challenging." She took a sip of red wine, her lips were extremely red, " But you young people are at the age of wolves and tigers, what you like most is to challenge all kinds of things, right?"

She put down the wine glass, but she didn't put her hand on the plate neatly, but took Wen Sheng's hand instead.

Wen Sheng pulled out his hand with a smile, picked up the wet towel at the side and wiped it in a very gentlemanly manner.

"What do you mean?" Mo Lian's face changed when she saw his disgusting gesture.

"think too much."

"You!" Mo Lian barely held back her fits, and squeezed out a smile like squeezing toothpaste, "Young people who want to beg for help must have the attitude of begging for help, otherwise..."

"What else?" Wen Sheng put down the wet towel, "Banned?"

"Don't think that you are making a film of the sky now, and relying on Bailiu, I can't do anything about you. I have seen a lot of self-righteous young people like you." What Mo Lian hates most is being played by others, and This Wen Sheng was silent for a long time, he was stunned to see that she would make a mistake and didn't explain, it was clearly to embarrass her on purpose, if it wasn't for Wu Bai who was still on the phone on the balcony to save face, she would definitely slam the door and leave. This one is refrigerated to the Arctic.

"is it?"

His disbelief and disdain made Mo Lian blush, "Don't believe me, don't you have a lesson from the past? Before you speak or do anything, you'd better learn from him first."

"Who? Xiao Zhe?" Wen Sheng sneered.

Wu Bailiu, who was pretending to be on the phone outside, took a sneak peek inside, and saw that within a few minutes, the atmosphere inside had become a Shura field, and he was a little glad that he came out early.

He is such a peace-loving person, he is not suitable for such a tense scene.

"You did your homework well." Mo Lian glanced at the balcony, where Wu Bailiu was still "on the phone" vigorously, dancing, but leaning against the glass window, he almost put his ears on it.Her mind, which was dazzled by anger, finally cooled down a bit, "Since you didn't want to join Batty, why are you looking for me today?"

"I'll let you cooperate."

This verb is neither "beg" nor "and", but "let".

Mo Lian has never met an actor in her life who dared to talk to her like that, "Wen Sheng, I've already treated you politely, you'd better not push yourself too far."

"Really?" Wen Sheng smiled again, using such a grinding rhetorical tone.

If eyes could kill, Mo Lian would definitely commit murder tonight. In her heart, Wen Sheng's acting career would be over after leaving the door of this box. "I'm not interested." She said coldly, ready to leave.

"You have to have it if you're not interested." His voice dropped sharply, even colder than hers.

For the first time in Mo Lian's life, because of the simple seven words, she dared not take a step forward.

Wen Sheng chuckled, took off the napkin slowly, and walked to her side, "As far as I know, Director Mo is very famous in the circle, especially his relationship with many actors."

"What nonsense are you talking about."

"More than a year ago, Director Mo took a fancy to a young supporting role with outstanding looks. For this reason, Director Mo proposed a mutually beneficial matter." His eyes began to darken, "Of course, he can't refuse. It's a pity that , Spring Festival night, Mo Dao was very disappointed."

"Nonsense!" She was obviously an actor who was still playing a supporting role, and even a super big name would not dare to talk to her like that. Mo Lian remembered her identity and was about to raise her leg to move forward.

"If you dare to go out, I'm afraid you will face more than pornography."

She was startled, her ten-inch high heels slipped off, and she fell hard to the ground.

Pornographic!

Didn't she just give that reporter a sum of money to buy all the photos on the film?

The actor had just committed suicide, and it was said that he was suffering from depression, which was the focus of media reports. If the pornographic photos were circulated at this time, and her reputation for many years... the consequences would be disastrous.

"So that supporting role was banned for more than a year, and there was nothing else but stand-in scenes, and because of this, he almost died several times." Cheng Liang's leather shoes stood still in front of her, "But it should be, who told him to overestimate his capabilities." The handsome man outside bent down like a gentleman and stretched out his hand towards her.

Out of instinctive fear, Mo Lian subconsciously stepped back.

Wen Sheng didn't care, grabbed her arm and brought her up, "Mo Dao, it's cold on the ground, if you catch the wind and cold, no one can settle the matter in time, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Mo Lian spread out on the chair. The reason why she agreed to come to this banquet at that time was because of Wu Bailiu's face, and secondly, she felt that this man's temperament was too special, so she couldn't help but want to get involved.

Now, she regretted provoking this coercive man.

"It's just that I really want to know. After a year, that person has never provoked Mo Dao again. Why did he press every step of the way, and in the name of apologizing, he insulted and ruined the truth?"

At this time, how could Mo Lian not know that he was referring to Xiao Zhe, and said repeatedly: "I didn't touch him at all, nothing happened."

"No." Wen Sheng looked down at her, "If so, I wouldn't have come to ask you to cooperate today."

"You, you have said so much, what exactly do you want? Do you want me to let him go?"

"Whether it's him or the famous drama, I hope you don't provoke me again." Wen Sheng looked at the woman who kept nodding, "Also, I want you to propose the film and television copyright of the novel just now."

"I'm just a director!"

"not my business."

"You are an actor, what do you want the film and television adaptation copyright for?"

"Nothing to do with you."

"I can't do that."

"Mo Lian, you'd better agree to this." Wu Bailiu came out from the balcony at some point.

"Bailiu!" Mo Lian seemed to see a life-saving straw, "He is yours, so you don't care about it? For the sake of our friendship for so many years, can't you let me go?"

"Mo Lian, I can't help you if you ask me about this matter." Wu Bailiu spread his hands, "He is not mine, but I should be his man."

"You, what do you mean?" Mo Lian opened her eyes wide, looked at Wen Sheng, and then at Wu Bailiu, unable to turn her head around for a while.

"Don't look at me like that, can't you just let me speak ambiguously? All right, all right, if you look at me again, I'm going to have nightmares tonight." Wu Bailiu avoided Wen Sheng's gaze, "Cough, more To be more precise, in the entertainment circle, I am his younger brother. Sister Mo, you know that this circle is just like the underworld. Unless the superiors and subordinates can create a spark of love, the younger brother can't control what the boss does. "

"He, who is he?" Mo Lian quickly searched for all the possibilities in her mind, and finally guessed one, "Could it be..."

knock knock --

"Ah, I'm starving to death, and it took me a long time to serve the food." Wu Bailiu sounded as if he heard the bell ringing for the intermission.

The door opened a crack, then stopped suddenly.

There was a faint noise.

"Sir, we are just serving food. It is really embarrassing for you to follow like this."

"I know the guests inside, let me go in and say hello!"

"Then please contact the guests inside, it will be really difficult for us to do so."

"I'll just go in and take a look, just take a look."

"Sir, don't, don't."

Pingling, bang, bang, bang, bang——.

One fell in with the dishes.

Looking at the gazes of the three people inside on him, Xiao Zhe coughed lightly, "Damn, what kind of broken restaurant is this, the food served is not hot at all, and you won't have diarrhea after eating it? Hehehehe."
