Chapter 50: Retrograde

Views:

In some ways, children seem to be able to heal themselves better than adults.

Originally, Lin Cheng was a little worried that knowing the truth of Xu Duo's story would bring long-term psychological trauma to Lin Momo.

He found that after returning to the place where others lived and taking a nap, Lin Momo's mood seemed to have recovered.

Early in the morning, when the father and daughter had just gotten up, Lin Momo jumped in front of Lin Cheng as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

"Dad! We are going to shoot a new movie today, right?" Lin Momo asked, looking at Lin Cheng with shining eyes.

Seeing Lin Momo's high spirits, Lin Cheng smiled secretly and said, "No, I have to go to the crew for an interview first."

The drama "Reverse" is an officially invested drama, which is different from other popular film and television products. Even if he gets the recommendation, Lin Cheng must pass the interview of the crew to have a chance to perform.

"It will definitely be acceptable." Lin Momo nodded and said without thinking.

Hearing Lin Momo's cry, Lin Cheng felt helpless and a little amused.

Just when Lin Cheng wanted to remind Lin Momo not to be "blindly confident", he saw that Lin Momo had already impatiently started packing her things for going out.

Thinking about the interview she would have soon, and thinking about her previous experience of being treated as a beggar, this time, in order not to embarrass Lin Cheng and also to leave a good impression on the interviewer from the crew, Lin Momo specially took out the best set of clothes she brought with her and put them on, and combed her hair meticulously.

After she had calmed herself down, Lin Momo pulled Lin Cheng together and prepared to set off.

The father and daughter came downstairs and happened to meet Shu Mai and Chen Manman, who were also dressed up and preparing to go out at the gate of the dormitory building.

Shu Mai and Chen Manman were surprised to find that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo were going in the same direction as them today, so they asked the father and daughter, "Aren't you going to film today?"

Most of the filming locations in the film and television city are distributed near the central, northern and eastern areas. If Lin Cheng and Lin Momo want to find the crew to act as extras in a film, they should start from the left.

Hearing this, Lin Momo shook her head and said to the two of them, "We are not filming today. My father and I are going to the crew for an interview."

As Lin Momo spoke, she handed the note that Li Jianhong had written to them yesterday to Shu Mai and Chen Manman.

"Building 2, Wangjin Street, South District?" Shu Mai and Chen Manman were a little surprised when they saw the address written on the note.

"What's wrong?"

"What a coincidence, we are also going to the interview at Building 2, Wangjin Street, South District." Shu Mai said with a smile.

"A place like that?" Lin Momo's eyes lit up slightly, and she asked again, "Are you guys also going to the "Reverse" crew for an interview?"

After hearing Lin Momo's words, Shu Mai and Chen Manman looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They obviously couldn't believe that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo were going to audition for "Reverse".

Interviewing actors for the cast of "Reverse" is notoriously difficult.

Almost all the actors that the crew has already confirmed are talented actors. Although the actors currently being recruited are not for the main roles, the crew's requirements have not been lowered at all - those who do not have good acting skills, are not natural enough, or deviate from the characters, no matter what the relationship is, will all be eliminated.

During the more than half week, many people went to "Reverse" for interviews, but 99% of them were rejected.

After reading the background of "Reverse", Shu Mai and Chen Manman were originally tempted, but after hearing about the interview situation, they gave up directly.

"We are not going to the crew of "Reverse"," Chen Manman waved her hand, and then said to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo: "Another fairy tale drama "Moon Hidden in the West River Night" is also recruiting actors there, we plan to give it a try."

Previously, the crew of "Moon Hidden in the West River Night" had a dispute over the first and second male roles, which affected other actors and caused many actors to be fired from the crew. Later, because it was changed to a dual male lead drama, the actress who originally played the first female role in the drama was dissatisfied with the deletion of her role as the female lead, and she directly withdrew from the crew filming for breach of contract.

Today, the crew of "The Moon Hides in the West River Night" is recruiting actors, including the main roles and the female lead.

After receiving the news of the crew's recruitment, many people rushed to the interview, just to try their luck. Even if they couldn't get the role of the heroine, they might be able to get a major supporting role. Shu Mai and Chen Manman were among them.

The four of them came to Building 2 in the South District together.

As soon as I arrived in front of the building, I saw the promotional poster of "The Moon Hidden in the West River Night" posted at the entrance of the building, as well as a banner that read "Actor Recruitment Open".

The interview and recruitment for the crew was held in the conference hall on the first floor of the building. At this time, the square in front of the conference hall was already filled with actors who came for the interview, and the scene was very spectacular.

Seeing Shu Mai and Chen Manman hand in the registration form and get a number to line up, Lin Momo pulled Lin Cheng's sleeve and asked, "Dad, are we interviewing here too?"

"No, my interview location is in Room 1703-1708, Block A, Building 2," Lin Cheng said, and then he looked around the scene and pointed to a small elevator passage on the side of the building and said, "Enter from that side."

After saying that, seeing Lin Momo pouting and looking worried, Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

At this time, Lin Momo finally pointed to the narrow elevator corridor, then pointed to the interview site of the "Moon Hidden in the West River Night" crew, and asked Lin Cheng: "Does the crew we are going to have this much money?"

When Lin Momo said this, not only Lin Cheng laughed, but also the audience in the live broadcast room laughed:

Haha, I was wondering what Xiao Momo was worried about when she suddenly frowned. It turns out it was this…

Don't worry, Momo. Even the poorest crew can afford to pay 2,000 yuan for the film. The audience joked.

Lin Momo and Lin Cheng only received 2,000 yuan in remuneration for their last drama, and they also offered a buy one get two free deal, which has become a hot topic in the live broadcast room that everyone can't forget.

To be honest, the crews of all the dramas should be similar, they are all big IPs.

No, the crew of "Against the Current" is just low-key. In terms of nature, I personally think that "Against the Current" is even more awesome than "The Moon Hidden in the West River".

I think so too.

The drama "The Moon Hides Behind the West River at Night" is just spectacular to watch.

I don't understand. It's just a casting, why is there such a big fuss? It's almost like a press conference or a large-scale variety show talent show.

Of course it's hype! I have to say that the hype of "The Moon Hidden in the West River Night" is really amazing.

From the beginning, the fight between the fans of the male lead and the second male lead, to the female lead quitting the crew, every incident made the crew a hot topic.

Now, the re-casting of a production crew has also led to new tricks from the production crew - early online casting promotion, open casting, amateurs can also participate in the casting, and the male protagonists will occasionally drop by the casting site to select the best female protagonist in their minds, etc...

As soon as these news came out, topics related to "The Moon Hidden in the West River Night" directly occupied 5 hot searches.

My goodness, this crew can really be fired, right

It’s already popular before it’s even aired…

Wrong, it should be said that it became popular before it was even filmed.

Awesome.

I heard that this is a drama invested by Xingshi Entertainment. Hasn't Xingshi Entertainment always been good at pulling down and quarreling with others to stir up trouble

While the audience in the live broadcast room were enjoying the show, Lin Cheng had already brought Lin Momo to the passage on the side of the building, from where they could reach the elevator room of Building A.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from not far away: "Ah! Look! Le Bai! Le Bai is over there!"

There were many fans of Le Bai at the scene, and some of them spotted the TV King at the safety passage next to the building, which was also the entrance to the temporary backstage casting for the crew of "The Moon Hidden in the West River Night".

As the screams rang out, other fans around also noticed this side and rushed into the corridor from the lobby of the building.

Seeing several crazy fans suddenly rushing into the passage, Lin Momo, who was also in the passage unfortunately, was a little dazed for a moment.

Lin Momo was almost frightened. Before she could hide behind Lin Cheng, those fans had already quickly run into the passage.

Lin Momo was nearly knocked to the ground by the crowded crowd. Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Cheng, who was standing next to her, grabbed Lin Momo and held her behind him.

In the same passage, Le Bai, who had just come out from behind the security door, seemed to have noticed the movement here. After giving a look to the assistant beside him, he shouted to the people at the scene: "Everyone, don't push. Didn't you see that you bumped into the child?!"

"I will be at the scene to assist the crew in casting. You can go to the front and wait for me. This passage is where the crew and building workers go together. You will affect other people's work. It is not safe for so many people to crowd here, not to mention that there are children on the scene."

After hearing what Le Bai said, the fanatical fans at the scene finally quieted down a little.

The workers brought by Le Bai and several spontaneous fans began to maintain order in the passage and evacuated other fans one by one.

Le Bai looked towards Lin Momo with a concerned look on his face.

"Little boy, are you okay? Were you hurt anywhere?" Le Bai walked up to Lin Momo and asked with concern.

Lin Momo, who had finally waited until the passage was a little empty and breathed a sigh of relief, was startled when she saw someone suddenly appear in front of her, and subconsciously shrank behind Lin Cheng.

The moment Le Bai in front of him saw Lin Cheng, his expression froze, his pupils shrank sharply, and the words he had not yet finished spoke stopped at his lips.

In the live broadcast room, many viewers who like Le Bai were excited when they saw Le Bai appear on the screen.

What the hell, Le Bai? It was actually Le Bai!

This live broadcast is fun, right

While watching a live parent-child variety show, I actually saw a big star. Is this considered a great gain

Make money, make money.

Unfortunately, the recording was too far away and I couldn’t hear them talking.

At the same time, Chen Yu, Wang Xi and others who had been paying attention to the situation in the live broadcast room in front of the company's computer were also a little surprised.

"Le Bai?! He is an artist under Mr. Sun, right? So Brother Cheng should have been from the same school as him?" Wang Xi said.

Chen Yu on the side nodded, his face not looking good.

"We can only be considered half-fellow disciples." Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

Seeing Chen Yu staring at the live broadcast screen with an expression like he was 'looking at Le Bai's deep hatred god', Wang Xi asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Before I came to the company, I heard from some seniors who had left the company that Sun Ge first led Lin Cheng. Later, when Lin Cheng became popular and had more resources, Sun Ge led Le Bai. At that time, Le Bai was a newcomer who didn't even have any resources. He had to share resources from Lin Cheng..."

"Before, this Le Bai liked to use online slander to take advantage of Lin Cheng's popularity. Later, when Lin Cheng got into trouble and was blacklisted by the entire Internet, Le Bai snatched all the resources from Lin Cheng the next day."

Hearing Chen Yu's words, Wang Xi's eyes widened: "Oh my God! Is this true? Le Bai has always been a diligent and low-key person on the Internet, but he could actually do such a thing?"

"I've already said it, it's just a character setting." Chen Yu glanced at Wang Xi, paused, and said with an unhappy look: "I even suspect that it was Le Bai who was behind the false accusation and blackening of Lin Cheng."

"Fuck, if it's true, it's really terrifying." Wang Xi sighed.

Zhou Qi, who had been silent, muttered at this time: "It may not be Le Bai's work." He always felt that a young newcomer should not be so capable.

on site.

After knowing that all the fans in the passage had left, Le Bai nodded towards Lin Cheng and said "What a coincidence" as a greeting.

"Come here to work?" Le Bai asked casually.

Seeing that Lin Cheng didn't say anything, Le Bai said again: "I'm still busy at work, let's talk next time."

After saying that, Le Bai prepared to leave with his assistant.

At this moment, Lin Cheng called out to the other party: "Wait."

Le Bai hid the impatience in his eyes, turned around and looked at Lin Cheng, and asked again: "Is there anything else?"

"The photos and videos have been deleted." Lin Cheng said in a flat tone.

Hearing this, Le Bai was stunned, laughed dryly and asked, "What photos are you talking about?"

"The video and photos taken by your assistant just now." Lin Cheng looked coldly at an assistant next to Le Bai.

Meeting Lin Cheng's gaze, the assistant looked a little nervous, subconsciously put his phone behind him, and argued: "I, I didn't take any photos."

In fact, she did take pictures, not only photos, but also videos.

The video showed Lin Momo being almost hit by a fan. Le Bai advised the fan to be careful and came forward to inquire about Lin Momo's condition.

They were planning to edit this part and post it online later, so of course they couldn't just delete it.

Several assistants are still persisting.

Lin Cheng didn't say anything, just looked at the other person coldly.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little scary.

At this moment, Le Bai coughed dryly and said to the assistant who was filming: "If you didn't capture anything just now, just delete it."

Hearing this, the assistant looked at Le Bai in disbelief and subconsciously retorted: "But here, we..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Le Bai said again: "Delete it quickly."

The assistant had no choice but to delete the video and several photos from his phone in front of Lin Cheng, and cleared the trash cache. However, he was still confused as to why their boss would make concessions to the man in front of him.

—Although they are from the same company, most of these assistants do not know Lin Cheng.

In their eyes, their boss is a big star, and the man in front of them is just a father with a child, and the pass he carries is of 'Class D'. They don't understand why, they always feel that their boss seems to be a little afraid of the man in front of him, or even a little cowardly.

Le Bai chose to ignore the puzzled looks from the assistants nearby.

He really didn't want to provoke Lin Cheng—not only because of what happened that year, but also because of the true identity behind Lin Cheng.

"Nothing, I'll get busy then." Le Bai said, preparing to leave.

Lin Cheng also planned to take Lin Momo away.

Just then, Sun Yanzhou arrived, followed by Sun Yimeng, a newcomer he had recently been promoting and the leading male star of "The Moon Hidden in the West River Night".

"Brother Le." When Sun Yimeng saw Le Bai, he lowered his head and greeted him humbly.

There was a cold flash in Le Bai's eyes, and he nodded vaguely.

Le Bai didn't want to be in the same frame with this newcomer, but because of his agent's intervention, he couldn't leave immediately.

Sun Yanzhou's eyes fell on Lin Cheng. He looked at Lin Cheng, then at Lin Momo behind him, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown up so much now."

Meeting Sun Yanzhou's gaze, Lin Momo shuddered instinctively - although the man in front of her smiled as if he looked kind, Lin Momo felt inexplicably scared when facing him.

In her dream, there were a few blurry images, when she was forced to separate from Lin Cheng during the recording of the program, when she was sent to an orphanage by those 'kind-hearted people'... Although that figure did not appear, it was watching from a distance.

For some reason, Lin Momo felt that the person in front of her was similar to the figure in her dream.

Seeing that Lin Momo ignored him, Sun Yanzhou didn't care. He smiled calmly, looked at Lin Cheng again, and asked with concern: "How are you doing recently?"

Without waiting for Lin Cheng to speak, Sun Yanzhou continued, "I haven't paid much attention to the company's affairs in recent years. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. If you need any help, just let me know."

"By the way, are you coming to the film and television city for the variety show that the company arranged for you before, or are you here for work? This "The Moon Hidden in the West River Night" is invested by your company, and I am half a representative of the company. Why don't you give it a try? I'll ask the director to arrange some roles for you as an extra." Sun Yanzhou said sincerely, and it sounded like he was helping Lin Cheng.

Only Lin Cheng looked at the other person with no emotion in his eyes.

Feeling that his hand was shaken, Lin Cheng lowered his head.

"Dad, let's go quickly." Lin Momo whispered to Lin Cheng, pulling Lin Cheng's arm hard, trying to drag him away.

Regardless of whether the person in front of her was the one in her dream, she felt that this person was not a good person.

Sensing the uneasiness in Lin Momo's mood, Lin Cheng's eyes darkened slightly. He looked at Sun Yanzhou and the others, and said, "No need." Then he turned around and left, taking Lin Momo's hand.

Looking at the father and daughter walking away, a hint of mockery flashed in Sun Yanzhou's eyes.

After sending Sun Yimeng to the front desk, Sun Yanzhou and Le Bai came to the lounge specially prepared for Le Bai at the actor interview venue by the crew of "The Moon Hidden in the West River Night".

At this time, there was no one else present, so Le Bai no longer concealed the anger on his face. He looked at Sun Yanzhou with dissatisfaction and asked, "Why did the company give the resources of the parent-child reality show to Lin Cheng this time?"

And he even invited Lin Cheng to the film and television city.

Facing Le Bai's questioning, Sun Yanzhou remained calm and sneered, "Isn't it just that I robbed him of a few resources back then? It's been so many years, is it necessary to be so nervous about this matter?"

Hearing this, Le Bai's expression did not ease, but became even darker. He said in a deep voice: "You know that's not what I'm talking about."

"What's that?" Sun Yanzhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did someone put something in Lin Cheng's wine, deliberately sent a few other staff members away, and then led the illegitimate fan to his room? And finally released the black material on the Internet?"

Hearing Sun Yanzhou's words, Le Bai's face turned anxious, and he suddenly jumped up from the sofa, pointing at Sun Yanzhou and cursing: "Bullshit! Those things were simply set up by you!"

"Isn't this what you want to do?"

"I... If you hadn't designed me, I would never have been able to..."

At the beginning, Sun Yanzhou did covet Lin Cheng's traffic and resources, and did a lot of things to discredit Lin Cheng behind the scenes, but he really didn't have the ability to completely get rid of Lin Cheng.

Until one day, a woman who claimed to be surnamed Ye found Le Bai.

That woman gave Le Bai a large sum of money to let him work with her to bring down Lin Cheng. The medicine was provided by the woman, and the copied room card was also provided by the woman.

Under the woman's instigation, Le Bai agreed to the cooperation, and then made up the scandal of 'Lin Cheng x fans'.

Afterwards, Le Bai always felt puzzled: How come everything went so smoothly, without even a trace of anything being discovered

Until one day, he realized that it was not his fault at all, but someone was "helping" behind the scenes, and he was just a pawn.

The woman actually approached Sun Yanzhou in the first place. Sun Yanzhou didn't want to expose himself so he let the woman approach him. This woman took advantage of his desire to replace Lin Cheng and become famous and manipulated him into doing those things.

"You have also benefited from it, right?" Sun Yanzhou interrupted Le Bai and said calmly.

"I also take money from others to help them get rid of disasters." Sun Yanzhou said again.

Lin Cheng was his artist at the beginning, so he certainly didn't want anything to happen to him. However, Ms. Ye found him, promised to give him a large sum of money, and used the resources at her disposal to help him climb up in the company and in the entertainment industry.

In the face of his own future, Sun Yanzhou chose to give up the artists he had.

Later, someone took advantage of Le Bai and completely destroyed Lin Cheng.

Afterwards, Sun Yanzhou followed Ms. Ye's instructions and took away Lin Cheng's resources, suppressed Lin Cheng all the time, and arranged a useless agent for Lin Cheng. In this way, he neither let Lin Cheng become popular nor completely leave the entertainment industry.

"Humph," Le Bai calmed down, snorted coldly, and then said: "I don't care what he does, but he blames me for not reminding him. He is going to be famous again recently. If he becomes famous and bites back, none of us will have an easy life."

Hearing this, Sun Yanzhou smiled and said, "If he is famous, it would be better. I am afraid that he will not be popular and will not get enough attention."

"What do you mean?" Le Bai frowned.

"Lin Cheng is relying on his daughter's fame this time, but he will soon 'die' because of his daughter." Sun Yanzhou paused and told Le Bai his plan: he had intended to let Lin Cheng appear in various situations on the show and be scolded by the audience and criticized by netizens, and then he would release negative information to make Lin Cheng even more criticized.

But what surprised him was that Lin Cheng was not criticized in the show, but became a little famous instead.

But it doesn't matter. When Lin Cheng becomes famous to a certain extent, he will release the evidence of Lin Cheng's negative materials: x-fan, abandonment, and only finding his daughter after appearing on a variety show... The effect may be better.

After hearing Sun Yanzhou's plan, even Le Bai couldn't help but gasp: "That's too cruel."

Sun Yanzhou glanced at Le Bai and said, "You can't blame me for this. The fights among the wealthy families over their inheritance are no cleaner than in the entertainment industry."

This time, the other party obviously wanted to kill Lin Cheng. Not only did they want to discredit Lin Cheng, but they also wanted to make Lin Cheng completely bear the moral infamy and even legal sanctions, leaving him with no chance of turning over.

The difference is that this time it was not only Ms. Ye who came to him, but also her husband.

"This is our deal and has nothing to do with me." Le Bai suddenly wanted to distance himself from it.

Sun Yanzhou smiled and said, "I can get away with what I did back then."

"‌!" After a stare-eye confrontation, Le Bai was defeated.

"The fact that I drugged him and let that woman in won't be exposed, right?" Le Bai asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, our employer is not simple, and he cleaned those things very well."

Sun Yanzhou and Le Bai soon reached a consensus.

None of them noticed that the door was slightly opened while they were talking, and that Sun Yimeng was holding a cell phone inside.

"By the way, do you know why Lin Cheng came here?" Sun Yanzhou asked casually.

"I'm not sure. I heard from the workers downstairs that he seemed to have gone upstairs to Building A. Could he be going for an interview with the crew?" Le Bai guessed.

After all, there are still several crews recruiting actors upstairs, including some big productions with excellent reputations.

Hearing this, a look of disdain flashed across Sun Yanzhou's face: How can a singer like Lin Cheng have any acting skills
