The experienced program team put the interview with Lu Wen in front of the restaurant on purpose in the last episode, predicting that it will become a hot spot and leave an incomparably deep memory for the audience.
Sure enough, less than an hour after the show aired, the topic aroused heated discussions and quickly hit the headlines.
Qu Yanting was kept in the dark, he spent most of the time recording with Lu Wen, why did he confess his love? He flipped through it, and clicked on a program video from the popular list.
The set was quiet, and the conversation on the phone was clearly audible. When Lu Wen finished saying "I like Teacher Qu very much", the video ended.
There are no embellished clips or jokes. Lu Wenzheng said "like" in a serious and serious way. It is unprecedented for a man to openly say that he likes another man.
Probably for the sake of passing the review, the program group tried to turn the tide in the later stage, and added a bunch of labels when Lu Wen confessed, Bole, a close friend, as close as brothers, trying to make the relationship between the two less ambiguous.
The soundtrack also did its best. When Lu Wen said "I like it", the background music was "Grateful Heart".
However, the majority of the audience was still desperate, thinking that Lu Wen was just confessing his love, and ridiculed them one after another. Other variety shows have hard-wired the emotional line, but this reality show whose authenticity is comparable to that of a documentary has to do its best to help clear it up.
Qu Yanting held the phone horizontally, from startled to stunned until the screen turned black, he noticed that there was no noise on the set, and said anxiously: "Aren't everyone looking at me..."
"Can I not watch you?" Ren Shu said, "Who told you to play the video outside."
Qu Yanting's eyes darkened and he was a little dizzy. He didn't dare to look up, he pressed his phone and continued to read Weibo tremblingly. There were tens of thousands of comments, and he held his breath when he clicked on it.
Swipe down along the first popular article—
Lu Wen, how many times can you surprise me? !
Is this fucking out of the closet? Any fans say, he is gay
In line with the hype of the show, didn't they also co-produce a movie.
Knowing that Lu Wen is the prince of Huanlu, I knew that he and Qu Yanting were not in a foster relationship, but I never expected it to be true love.
Damn it, I won't be surprised when it comes out that Lu Wen is a woman...
As expected of the number one troublemaker in the entertainment industry!
…
There were various voices in the comment area, and Qu Yanting's heart was beating wildly. He calmed down for a moment and raised his head. The other people were busy on the surface, but they were actually observing in secret.
It was so fucking weird, Qu Yanting looked at Lu Wen, not saying anything, got up and walked out of the set.
Would it be too obvious if Lu Wen hesitated at the same place and followed him out immediately
Ren Shu had just finished smoking a cigarette, so he made up a lame excuse and said, "Xiao Lu, I'm done smoking, help me buy a pack."
Lu Wen nodded in agreement, regardless of whether others could see through, he raised his legs and ran out. The crew filmed in an English-style club facing the street, next to an alley, he ran out of the gate and turned to the entrance of the alley.
Under the dim streetlights, Qu Yanting bit her lip hard, still swiping the screen of the phone, seeing Lu Wen approaching, before pressing the button and stuffing it back into her pocket.
The two of them stared at each other for seven or eight seconds without a word. Lu Wen raised his hand, pinched Qu Yanting's chin to make him loosen his jaw, and then licked the bitten red lips with his fingertips.
Lu Wen asked anxiously, "Are you angry?"
Qu Yanting immediately denied: "No, I'm not angry."
Although everything happened suddenly, Qu Yanting was sure that there was no dissatisfaction in the mixed emotions. He held Lu Wen's wrist, his heartbeat calmed down, and he vaguely understood the reason for the heartbeat: "You didn't do anything wrong, I feel very touched."
Lu Wen's eyes were brighter than the lights, flashing: "Really?"
"Yeah." Qu Yanting explained the reaction just now, "It's quite shocking. After being together for so long, it turns out that you are... more tiger than I thought."
It didn't sound like a compliment, Lu Wen shirked responsibility and said, "It's all because the director kept asking me that day."
This reason is not convincing, he has accepted too many interviews, and he can easily avoid traps or problems, not to mention that the director even smoothed things over for him.
In any case, the program has already been aired, and Qu Yanting said: "Comments from the audience..."
"I guessed it." Lu Wen said, "Actually, I considered the consequences when I said it."
Qu Yanting asked, "What do you think?"
There are many things that the audience just watch for fun, and then leave after watching. With so many ups and downs, Lu Wen has long been immune to the evaluation of the outside world. He also knew that with his 250-year-old character, the scandal with Qu Yanting would probably reach him until he retires.
Then he might as well pierce this layer of window paper, the sense of mystery is gone, and the curiosity of the public will disappear together, so they won't pay any more attention.
"The general environment does not allow public coming out, and I still know how to measure it." Lu Wen said, "I don't want to deceive the audience and fans. This is the strongest hint. You can stay as you want."
Qu Yanting said: "If someone hates you because of this, will you feel uncomfortable?"
"No way." Lu Wen's thoughts were clear, "I will not sacrifice my life for others, and others have the right to hate me."
Qu Yanting was silent for a few seconds, then laughed: "You are not only stupid, but also very philosophical."'
It was the first time in thirty years that he was praised on the ideological level. Lu Wen shook his head and said, "After all, I'm not brainless. I'm just too lazy to use it most of the time."
Qu Yanting laughed loudly. He had already forgotten how he felt a few minutes ago. He held Lu Wen's head and rubbed it twice, and said, "Then can you tell me next time you run out of it? It's so exciting."
Lu Wen lowered his head slightly, and his voice was slightly lower: "You really don't blame me?"
"Well." Qu Yanting said, "I respect any choice you make, because I also like you very much."
The warm lighting, the deep alleyway, and the sticky warm night wind are like scenes from a love movie. Lu Wen is getting closer and closer to Qu Yanting, staring at those two thin lips.
Just as they were about to kiss each other, two mobile phones rang at the same time.
"Damn," Lu Wen picked it up and took a look, "Uh, my dad."
Qu Yanting also took out his mobile phone and said, "My brother."
Probably because of tonight's news, they split up to listen to the phone, and after dealing with their family members, dozens of unread messages kept popping in and accumulated.
The people in the studio are used to gossip, and Yu Nan is the funniest, asking insincerely, will sister-in-law be angry when she sees the news
Qu Yanting replied: He is the sister-in-law.
Lu Wen was typing with his mobile phone in his hand, the four of them were three against one, and couldn't stand the teasing of his brothers. Just after sending a sentence, Jin Yanyu's name flashed on the hot push.
He opened it curiously. Just ten minutes ago, Jin Yanyu liked the news that he confessed to Qu Yanting.
After talking on the phone a few months ago, Lu Wen added Jin Yanyu's WeChat account, but he hadn't chatted with him. He turned to the other person's profile picture and clicked in, asking: Did you slip your hand
Soon, Jin Yanyu replied: No.
Lu Wen: Then why do you like it
Jin Yanyu: The heat is too high, so don't rub it for nothing.
Lu Wen: ...
The fuselage was slightly hot to the touch, and after coming out for a short time, Lu Wen and Qu Yanting were ready to go back, and went to the canteen to buy a pack of cigarettes.
Before going upstairs, Lu Wen guessed that everyone on the set must be watching, and said a little timidly, "Why don't you go up first?"
Qu Yanting panicked with embarrassment: "You go first."
After evading each other for a while, no one was willing to pay for the other, so they went upstairs together. When they passed the corner of the stairs, Qu Yanting asked, "By the way, what did your manager say?"
Lu Wen mumbled: "He said to jump into the sea."
Returning to the set to continue filming, the two parties were somewhat embarrassed and could only get into work as soon as possible.
At the gambling table, Meng Chuntai got deeper and deeper.
At the beginning, Meng Chuntai didn't stop when he lost, and when he lost all his money, he asked the housekeeper for a large amount of banknotes. After several times in a row, he was afraid that Tang Deyin would know, so he didn't ask for any more money.
But every gambler has delusional attempts to turn things around, and Meng Chuntai has lost control. He gambles game after game, waiting dazedly for the next game to turn things around.
The last stack of chips was pushed down, crisp as if something was broken, Meng Chuntai leaned back on the chair, pulled off his tie, and stared at the crystal chandelier above his head with bloodshot eyes.
"Master Meng, you have no bargaining chips."
Meng Chuntai struggled with his hand resting on the edge of the table, and asked hoarsely, "How much did you lose in total?"
The manager of the club reported a number, and the surrounding customers couldn't help being startled. Meng Chuntai was in a trance for a moment, this scene was too familiar, the last time it happened was in Beiping.
The IOUs were displayed palely on the ink-colored velvet table, and Meng Chuntai skillfully signed and drew the notes, as if he couldn't remember how much money he had lost or how many he owed.
The red ink paste dried up on the fingertips, and Meng Chuntai left the club dragging a plaid suit jacket. The other party set a deadline for him. If he still fails, he will face the life before he fled to Guangzhou.
Meng Chuntai pushed himself to the edge of the cliff again, he could only ask Tang Deyin for help.
The filming lasted all night, and the empty coffee cups on the set were filled with four bags. In the early morning, work was over, and Team A had a day and a night to rest.
Lu Wen went back to the hotel alone, and called Sun Xiaojian on the way, but don't really jump into the sea, but Sun Xiaojian didn't die, and scolded him angrily.
Too sleepy, Lu Wen took a shower and went to bed. Tomorrow, he would shoot the scene with Yu Xiaoqing. He set the alarm clock for the evening and got up to read the script.
Meng Chuntai was unlucky, he had nowhere to go and confessed to Tang Deyin, thinking that this uncle loved him very much, but after being controlled, he found out that Tang Deyin was the club's behind-the-scenes owner, and he had fallen into the trap step by step since he arrived in Guangzhou...
Lu Wen closed his eyes, followed the plot and fell asleep.
After sleeping until noon, Lu Wen turned over and woke up hungry. There was only a pack of instant noodles in the refrigerator, and Sun Xiaojian was still missing, so he had to get up to eat something.
Pulled out the room card and went to the restaurant of the hotel. At a glance, it was full of people from Group A. It seemed that everyone's biological clocks were gradually synchronized. Lu Wen picked up a plate to get a meal, and wandered in the delicious roast meat area.
People came to eat intermittently, and there were fewer and fewer empty seats. When Qu Yanting and Ren Shu came in, they were almost full, and everyone greeted them one after another and made room for them.
"No, you guys sit down." Qu Yanting looked towards the window under the sun, the temperature was high so there was an empty table, "I'll go there."
Ren Shu said: "I think it's too hot, you can go by yourself."
When Qu Yanting went to get some food, it happened that Lu Wen was facing him with a plate of meat. After shortening the distance by a few steps, many eyes followed and surrounded them silently.
Work on the set comes first, now I can't help gossiping when I eat and drink, all the colleagues are sneaking or watching, the heart of gossip is as hot as the heat of the news.
Lu Wen felt it, and stopped, not knowing where to go. He didn't care about the comments on the Internet, but it was quite embarrassing to face his colleagues.
He thought, Qu Yanting has a thin skin, so it should be even more embarrassing.
Lu Wen decided to go back to his room to eat, and couldn't wait to pack it up. He took two more beef siu mai, and walked while eating, rubbing shoulders with Qu Yanting pretending nothing happened.
Suddenly, Qu Yanting grabbed him and asked, "Will you be full with just this?"
Lu Wen said, "I'll do it."
"I haven't eaten for a long time, so what can I do?" Qu Yanting stuffed the plate into Lu Wen's hands, "Get some more, go to the window and wait for me to eat together."
Lu Wen was stunned, but Qu Yanting pushed him: "Come on, I'll get some soup."
After finishing speaking, Qu Yanting looked around for a week. Others avoided their eyes. He took two cups of soup on a tray and walked towards the window.
When passing through the center of the dining area, Qu Yanting stopped, causing everyone around to look up at him.
Ren Shu asked: "What's the matter, Director Qu?"
Qu Yanting responded, and took advantage of the situation to express his attitude to everyone: "From now on, Shaodong will take a closer look."
Everyone was silent, thinking he was upset.
Unexpectedly, Qu Yanting laughed and admitted in a disdainful way—"Hurry up, a bunch of light bulbs."
