Lu Yinbing closed his eyes, threw himself onto the bed, grabbed the quilt and covered himself from head to toe.

Five minutes later, she rolled her eyes a few times under her eyelids, opened them, touched the phone next to the pillow, found the most recent call, the first call record, and dialed.

After seven or eight beeps, the phone was finally picked up.

Lu Yinbing felt a surge of anger rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head: "Come here—"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I am very sad that I can't act in this movie again because of the accident. I know I have caused you trouble and I know I was wrong." The actress on the other side burst into tears, "The director has already scolded me once. If you want to scold me, go ahead. I am willing to bear it."

At a private bathing place on a small island abroad, a handsome man who was applying sunscreen to a film star was looking at her with an indulgent look on his face. Can people in the entertainment industry keep their faces straight and speak in a crying tone? If he hadn't seen her proud look at the moment, and only heard her voice, he would have been so heartbroken by her.

Lu Yinbing guessed that she was probably acting, and wanted to scold her, but her conscience couldn't let her go, so she asked, "What happened to you?"

Laiying said, "Oh, a car accident."

The man looked displeased, angry that she had cursed him, and gave him a loud kiss on the face.

Lu Yinbing: “…”

Did they treat her like a deaf person? She could no longer control the power of the king bomb in her body!

"Are you with Zhao Jun?"

Laiying laughed: "Yes, we are on our honeymoon abroad."

Lu Yinbing frowned: "Are you married?"

Laiying: "Yes, we got the certificate yesterday. He finally took a day off from home to come over."

Lu Yinbing asked: "Secret marriage? Or do you plan to make it public?"

Laiying said: “Yeah.”

Lu Yinbing wanted to ask clearly: "Do you mean secret marriage or public marriage?"

The man next to her paused. He and Laiying were classmates in junior high school and had been childhood sweethearts. After graduating from high school, Laiying went to a big city to study at a film academy, while he worked as a criminal policeman in the small place back home. The two had been in an "underground relationship" for so many years that he had long been accustomed to being the man behind her.

Zhao Jun looked at her and shook his head.

Lai Ying's well-maintained hand covered the back of his broad hand, on which there was a scar from a knife wound, like a small undulating hill. She said to Lu Yinbing on the other end of the phone: "I want to make it public."

Zhao Jun's whole body trembled, and moisture appeared in his eyes.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any further. Happy wedding, I will celebrate with you when I come back."

"I will make it public after our honeymoon is over, so that no one can harass us during this time."

"Okay, bye."

"See you back home."

Lu Yinbing hung up the phone and continued to lie on the bed, feeling a little depressed for no reason. She and Lai Ying met seven years ago. Although Lai Ying was still in college at that time, they were of similar age and got along well with each other. They soon became close friends. She had always known about her current boyfriend Zhao Jun, whom she had been dating since junior high school.

By the time Lu Yinbing was 20 years old, she had already filmed many movies and played many roles. She also read a lot and had her own experience of life. To be honest, she had never been optimistic about this couple. The gap in time, distance and status would definitely separate them, it was just a matter of time.

Now Laiying actually told her that she and her boyfriend got married. She is only 27 years old, and just won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards last year. Her career is booming. She chose this time to get married and make the wedding news public. Is she crazy? Or is she still asleep

Lu Yinbing covered her head and continued to sleep for a while. She turned on her cell phone and the call record of her and Laiying who had hung up ten minutes ago was still there. She was not dreaming.

Lu Yinghou was puzzled. She had been filming movies for thirteen years and had played dozens of roles, including quite a few love scenes. She had experienced everything from love and separation, resentment and resentment, and the inability to get what she wanted and the inability to let go. But apart from these roles, she had never been in love, not even ambiguous. She had been more interested in playing other people than being herself since she was a child. Sometimes when she saw others in love, their joys and sorrows were all tied to the other person, even to the point of life and death, and she felt it was really terrible.

Is playing Landlord not fun or have you already performed all the plays you wanted to perform, so why bother talking about love

Filming fills her up and makes her happy.

She got up from the bed, pulled the front of her nightgown closer, and sat down at the table to look through the script.

The play is called "Breaking Snow". The background is fictional. It is an era when the emperor is declining and the heroes are fighting for power. It can be said to be the Spring and Autumn Period or the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The costume and props team is led by Qin Hanlin himself, and there are special designers. Lu Yinbing plays the male protagonist, Jing Xiu, the sixth prince of Chu. Jing Xiu has a girlish appearance and a handsome appearance. Because of his weak body, he is not good at archery and horse riding, and has been neglected since childhood. At a court banquet, Gu Zang, a small country in the west, presented a beautiful dancer. Her dance shocked the world and she was immediately taken into the harem by the King of Chu. However, this dancer secretly found the sixth prince after the banquet and wanted to help him seize the throne... So starting from the harem of the Great Chu, an invisible hand stirred up this situation. Conspiracy, trickery, trust, betrayal, good plays came one after another. Lu Yinbing finished reading the script and read the ending two or three times before closing it with a sense of unsatisfaction.

There is no doubt that this dancer is the heroine originally intended to be played by Lai Ying.

After Lu Yinbing reviewed the script, she was angry again that Laiying left her alone to go on a honeymoon. She knew that Qin Hanlin, who especially liked women's dramas, would never give up any possibility of letting her have an affair with the heroine, especially since she was playing a man this time, and it would be fine if she had sex with the heroine openly, as long as it was not too explicit, and she didn't need to worry about violating the regulations of the x-bureau.

Lu Yinbing held her chin with one hand, feeling that she had seen through Qin Hanlin's real purpose of asking her to play a role in a cross-dressing role. She was the only one who could match the temperament, and this play was tailor-made for her. She was praised to the heavens and the earth. Then what about the Sixth Prince who was suspected of competing with his father for a woman? ! Was he just trying to play with the Oedipus complex? !

Anyone who believes it is a fool!

Now that Laiying has left, who knows what kind of person she will be cast with? If she is not satisfied with the person, she will quit. The worst that can happen is that she will lose 30 pounds of fat!

On the other hand, Xia Yitong was turned away by Lu Yinbing and went downstairs in frustration. She threw herself on the bed as usual and lay there motionless, feeling like she had lost the motivation to do anything.

"Fang Hui, do you think I'm famous?" Xia Yitong asked dejectedly.

"Yes, Teacher Xia is very famous." Fang Wei said without hesitation, "I've heard people say that in the entertainment industry, the way to tell whether someone is famous is not to look at their trending search index on Weibo, but to see if your mother knows him/her. Teacher Xia, my father, mother, grandparents all know you. Every time I see you on TV, I can't bear to change the channel. If you're not famous, who else would be famous?"

Xia Yitong was not encouraged at all. Instead, she felt even more sad. She covered her eyes with the back of her hand and said, "But what's the use? She doesn't even know who I am."

As she was speaking, she realized that there was something wrong with her tone, so she quickly shut up.

Fang Wei didn't hear her faint cry and said, "Who doesn't know you?"

"No one." Xia Yitong waited until she had adjusted her mood, sat up, and returned to her usual optimistic and cheerful self. "Do you think Lu Yinghou is popular?"

Fang Wei was packing her luggage and opened her mouth wide when she heard this: "Huh?"

Xia Yitong: "What? Tell me now."

Fang Hui lowered her head and mumbled a few words, probably because she felt that the question was particularly unprofessional, but at the moment she couldn't simply summarize it by saying whether she was popular or not, so she said, "It seems that everyone knows who Lu Yinghou is."

Today's entertainment industry has fallen into a vicious circle, as if actors and stars have gradually become two different professions. The former relies on acting skills, while the latter relies on popularity. Few people can do both, and those who do have both are bound to be national superstars.

Lu Yinbing is a box office queen with both acting skills and popularity, while Xia Yitong is just a simple traffic star.

But Xia Yitong didn't care at all. She fell back, lay on her back on the bed, and laughed silently.

Fang Hui asked anxiously, "Teacher Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Yitong said: "I am happy."

The person she likes is so outstanding, would she cry if she is unhappy

It doesn’t matter that she doesn’t recognize herself now, because she is not famous enough. One day she will recognize herself. Before, she was just a little fan who could only watch her from afar in the audience, but now she can act with her.

Even though I'm just a little palace maid, that's enough. There will be opportunities to act in more dramas in the future.

Wait? A little palace maid? Why is she so obsessed with the role of a little palace maid? The actress went on strike, and now there is a great opportunity in front of her. Although there is a 99% chance that it will be rejected by the picky director Qin, how can she know if she doesn't try? Isn't it just about face? Can't she refuse it

Time waits for no one, so get started!

Xia Yitong jumped up from the bed: "Come on, Fang Hui, let's go find Director Qin."

Qin Hanlin was not on the set, but one of the assistants who was responsible for helping Qin Hanlin with casting, the assistant director, was there. Xia Yitong plucked up the courage and told him her thoughts in a confident and open manner. The assistant director's expression was just as I expected, and the little bit of goodwill that I had accumulated was gone.

The assistant director said readily, "Okay."

Xia Yitong was delighted and couldn't believe it was so simple.

He flipped through the notes on his phone and typed on the keyboard: "Xia Yitong, it's the 19th."

"Excuse me, what is nineteen?"

Assistant Director: "The 19th person to audition for the female lead."

Xia Yitong: “…”

"I guess there are quite a few more," the assistant director patted her shoulder and said in a businesslike tone, "I wish you good luck."

Xia Yitong: “…”
