The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 67: Broken dreams

Views:

At that time, Jiang Baiyan was only seventeen years old. The filming of "Hide and Seek" had been completed. With the help of the company, he participated in the filming of a costume drama and played the fourth male lead.

There is a scene where the protagonist is sitting in a horse-drawn carriage, and the common people played by Johnnie To walk past the carriage.

He leaned his head out and looked at the female character.

Du Qi happened to be at the stall behind the prostitute, pretending to buy something. When he turned around, he was suddenly met with a pretty face.

A glance lasts a lifetime.

I became a fan of Jiang Baiyan and often looked for opportunities to watch him.

At that time, I was not yet famous, and my agent did not supervise me strictly. I often talked to my friends, saying that in winter, I would wait until it was cold and buy milk tea for them to drink.

Du Qi has an indescribable fascination with him.

I was decadent and self-abased, and my life was dark. But I tried to look for sunshine and follow my footsteps, as if my life was also illuminated by my light.

"You are a firework in the daytime, shining brightly when the sun comes out. You are a moth that flies into the fire, struggling to break out of its cocoon only to die for you."

Write this sentence in your diary and make it your life plan.

In order to get closer to you, I picked up my hobby again, started to learn makeup, tried to get to know people in the industry, and asked you to bring me into the industry.

His life has a goal, he has a plan for his future career, and everything is going in a good direction. If the story ended here, it would undoubtedly be a positive example of an idol motivating fans.

When did it change

Probably since I became famous.

There are more and more fans, but I still don’t think much of it.

What's the point of those fans who shout "Brother/younger brother is great, I like you so much" online? The entertainment industry is a realistic place, and only those who understand the rules can become useful fans.

Together with a few big fans who know the rules, sometimes they pretend to be other people's fans to stir up trouble, and sometimes they pretend to be passers-by and throw dirty water on competitors, and they really stand up for the people they like.

But that’s not enough.

‌I hope I am the most special and useful one among all my fans.

During a magazine shoot, a male artist from the 28th tier said something bad about me behind my back. He secretly added something to the glue used to stick on my eyelashes, which immediately caused my eyelids to become allergic and swollen like walnuts.

‌ lost his chance to take the photo, while Jiang Baiyan appeared on the cover without any suspense.

I will always protect you.

Du Qi swore silently.

But sometimes I am not satisfied with Jiang Baiyan. I think there are some dramas that I should not accept, but I accepted them. Some people are two-faced and I should not cooperate with them, but I cooperated with them anyway.

At the beginning, Du Qi comforted herself that it was the agency's fault, what a shame!

My younger brother was so young that he couldn't resist even if he wanted to, so he could only listen. He attacked the company several times, but in the end, thinking that he had a "hostage" in his hands, he endured it.

Being able to join Jiang Baiyan's crew this time was partly luck and partly scheming, Du Qi was so happy that he even thought about how to greet him and how to tell him that he was his old fan for many years.

But who knew that Cai Tong'er would join the group.

Du Qi had been in my team before and had a very bad impression of me. I was even scolded by him once, and the words he said were very ugly. The team leader also forced me to apologize to Cai Tong'er. Bah, do I deserve it

It’s a pity that Cai Tonger can’t put on makeup, otherwise she would look really good.

Du Qi took note of this, but he didn't expect to encounter it again just one year later, which ruined his good mood. Especially since the crew deliberately mentioned that the woman he had originally chosen was not him at all.

"I want to continue hyping up the red and white CP with Jiang Baiyan." Everyone privately said, "Cai Tonger's acting skills are just so-so, and this combination will only generate popularity."

I immediately became furious and my teeth were itching with hatred.

No, you must be reminded.

Du Qi found an opportunity to talk to Jiang Baiyan, hinting that Cai Tong'er had ulterior motives.

‌Smile at ‌.

Du Qi thought she had heard it, but Cai Tong'er still joined the group as promised. They chatted frequently and seemed very happy, and even celebrated her birthday.

Why didn't you listen to me? Were you perfunctory in your promise to me? I was doing this for your own good, but you failed me like this.

Du Qi began to feel resentful.

One day, after accidentally picking up the cleaner's master card, he suddenly had a bold idea.

Du Qi sneaked into Jiang Baiyan's room and left a warning on the mirror, thinking that this time, he would stay away from that hypocritical and cunning woman.

No.

Still nothing.

The next day, I talked to you again and you handed me coffee.

Du Qi realized sadly that his younger brother had grown up and was no longer as obedient as before.

But I can't give up. The people in the company have bad intentions. They only know how to make money by spending money. None of them really cares about me.

My younger brother is the only one left.

‌Must be saved‌.

Du Qi is a girlfriend fan and a mother fan. She tried gentle girlfriend-style reminders, but it didn’t work, so she changed her approach next time.

How did the mother educate the child during the rebellious period

Just give him a beating.

When it hurts, you know you’re wrong.

Bearing the heartache and feeling excited, I poured a few drops of laundry detergent into the cup.

That night, he handed over another note, thinking contentedly, this is good, he must know he was wrong.

The result was disappointing once again.

Du Qi felt very uncomfortable.

‌It wasn’t like this before.

At that time, I would personally read the letters from fans, care about my work and studies, and patiently listen to my stories. When fans kept talking to me like a mother, saying "wear more clothes, be careful of catching a cold" and "don't lose weight, health is the most important", I took them all seriously.

‌It really wasn’t like this before.

‌He has learned bad habits.

But how can you let go of someone you have loved for so many years? Not to mention that Du Qi's feelings for her were far more than just love, they were "the sustenance of the soul" and "a fateful encounter".

He saw the notice from the coordinator, found out about the props to be used, and then, under the pretext of trying to please the prop master, sorted things out for him.

The makeup assistant will try to curry favor with the lighting, stage management or photographer to expand his network, and no one will suspect that he has ulterior motives. When the accident happens, everyone will think that the prop master accidentally took the real glass, and just say a few words to get away with it.

Du Qi was very satisfied.

I think that broken glass means my broken heart. Can you understand my intention

I seem to understand.

Yesterday, I didn't have any interaction with Cai Tong'er. I kept talking to that writer. Du Qi knew that he was a popular mystery novelist recently and the author of Hide and Seek.

There is a consensus among Yanhuo ‌ (Jiang Baiyan’s fans’ nickname) that among all the films ‌ has made, Hide and Seek is the most impressive, which can be regarded as the indirect support given by the novelist to Jiang Baiyan.

Du Qi didn't take it seriously, but he managed to calm down his anger.

But after one night, it changed again!!

The scene on the rainy night was undone so many times, but he still smiled at me and comforted me.

At that moment, Du Qi couldn't tell whether he was angry or jealous, his anger devoured his reason. His heart seemed to be roasted on an iron plate, his flesh sizzling and the pain made him unable to breathe.

We can't go on like this, we're about to slide into the abyss and fall into hell.

You must be made to know that only you are truly good for you.

Stop him, punish him, let him see your efforts and know that you are right!

These thoughts were like a curse, repeating in his mind, tormenting him, urging him. Du Qi's breathing gradually became rapid, and the dry air surged in his body, as if a huge steam engine was "puffing" and burning coal.

Finally, unable to bear the confusion, he slowly sat up.

In the dark night, his eyes were as bright as a wolf's.

The door was pushed open quietly.

Jian Jing was in the bathroom, and slowly opened her eyes. She held her breath, and walked to the door step by step wearing only her socks.

The room was very, very dark. All light-emitting devices were turned off, and the curtains were tightly drawn, not letting in a single ray of moonlight. The entire room was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Only a ray of light from the corridor passed through the door and dimly shone into the room.

The shadow moved cautiously inward.

He walked very slowly, taking every step very carefully, for fear of stepping on anything. After everyone squeezed in, he stuck a piece of soft cloth on the crack of the door and closed it quietly.

Jian Jing turned on the night vision goggles.

Sister Chen fell asleep, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. However, the exhausting work still made her body betray her brain and she fell into a dormant state. She tied her hair up and used a pillow to block the side close to the door. From this point of view, it was impossible to tell who was lying on the bed.

The visitor was confused by the illusion and thought it was Jiang Baiyan, so he approached excitedly.

Du Qi's body was hot, his heart was pounding, and an indescribable force was controlling his body. He had never dreamed that life would be so close to him.

So close.

So close!

Sweat broke out on the palms of his hands, soaking the note in his clenched fists.

He moved closer to her, stretched out his hand and then retracted it, as if he regretted it for a moment. But the hidden desire dispelled the anxiety of going astray, the blood flowed faster, flowing into his limbs, and his brain felt slightly dizzy from lack of oxygen.

At this moment, rationality has been excluded from thinking.

I couldn't think straight, and I couldn't even remember what I was planning to do later - was it to drug him, or to put some lotion on my face? I couldn't remember.

Normally, we are fans, obsessed with you, admiring you, worshipping you, even if we are just one step away from you, we are psychologically thousands of miles apart. But now, we are breathing the same air, and in such a closed and dark environment, the distance between people is infinitely shortened.

The restraint that Du Qi felt as a fan disappeared, and was replaced by the evil thoughts of an ordinary person.

‌Stretch out your hand.

And then… it was over.

The beautiful dream was shattered before it even began.

The wrist was firmly grasped by five slender fingers, and the fingertips pressed down the muscles so hard that even the hidden endoskeleton could feel the pressure. The surging hot blood was cut off, and the palm seemed to be about to explode, burning and swollen.

"Let go!" Du Qi's voice changed due to fear and anger.

The person on the bed woke up suddenly and turned on the light quickly.

The dazzling light burst out, attacking everyone's retina differently.

Du Qi's eyes were stinging, forcing him to close them, but this was enough to see the person on the bed clearly. That person was not the handsome boy he had imagined.

No panicked faces were seen.

"Disappointed?" someone asked from behind, as if whispering to the devil, "No need, you can't succeed."

Du Qi turned his head away angrily, but what he saw was a beautiful and delicate profile, with cold gray hair hanging down like the reflection of a knife blade.

"It's you?" He was shocked, angry, and filled with indescribable jealousy.

Jian Jing gently grasped his joints, twisted his arms behind his back, and tied them up with tape. Du Qi still refused to surrender and twisted his body to struggle.

He was quite heavy and strong, so ordinary girls were no match for him. Sister Chen tried to help hold him down, but he kicked her away.

Jian Jing pressed her knee against his waist and warned him, "If you move, I will be rude to you."

Du Qi's eyes were bloodshot and he opened his mouth as if to bite something.

Jian Jing held him down with one hand, and with the other hand she grabbed the pillowcase, rolled it into a long strip and tied it around his mouth, saying, "If he's caught, have you thought about what to do?"

Sister Chen hesitated, wondering who to call and who could handle the situation.

In the silence, the sound of light footsteps was heard.

Jiang Baiyan walked in and closed the door calmly.

"Really?" he asked.

When Du Qi saw this, his struggling movements suddenly stopped, and the energy flowed away silently.

Hot tears rolled down, expressing all the grievances.

"Hmm," I wanted to say.

Jiang Baiyan only took one look at him and said, "Sister Chen, you and Xiao Li should take him to the police station, and then contact Brother Zhen."

Brother Zhen is the on-site producer, responsible for handling various emergencies.

Sister Chen thought for a moment, nodded, and called her assistant Xiao Li to come over. His height of 1.8 meters and weight of nearly 200 kilograms were no joke, and he easily subdued Du Qi and dragged him into the elevator.

The moment Du Qi went out, he struggled frantically, making a humming sound from his nose.

Jiang Baiyan watched for a moment and said to Xiao Li, "Don't wake them up."

Xiao Li nodded and put force on his hands.

But he underestimated the degree of madness of a crazy fan, or a crazy person. Du Qi burst out with a huge force far beyond his usual strength, and actually broke free from the shackles of a strong man, and pounced towards Jiang Baiyan like a monster.

Jian Jing sighed deeply and raised her hand to spray out the anti-wolf spray.

At the same time, Xiao Li and Sister Chen held hands and hugged waists respectively to control the situation.

Jiang Baiyan said clearly and calmly: "You don't have to say it. I don't want to hear it."

Jian Jing couldn't help but look over. She was as smart as ever, and talked about it before others. But this time, it wasn't thoughtful.

Du Qi's eyes widened for a moment, and then the fire that was jumping in his eyes disappeared.

The spray props used by Jian Jing took effect, and she fell limply to the ground and was dragged out by Xiao Li.

Sister Chen accompanied ‌‌ away and turned her head to look back when she was about to leave.

Jiang Baiyan looked at ‌ for a moment, then raised his hand and gently touched the door.

Silence returned to the room.

"Teacher Jingjing," he said, "Do you think you are cruel?"
