It was already late at night, and Luo Chuan asked Yao Manhuai directly to meet at the VIP bar of the hotel, where only actors from the crew could enter, and Luo Chuan asked her to report her name. When he went down, Yao Manhuai was already sitting by the window waiting for him. She was wearing business attire, with exquisite makeup on her face, and she was smoking a cigarette with her brows furrowed.
Luo Chuan was startled, walked straight over, and said after taking a seat, "Ms. Yao, long time no see."
Seeing people coming, Yao Manhuai didn't pursue Luo Chuan's frivolous tone, and said directly: "I asked you to help me, are you just torturing my people like this?"
"Your person?" Luo Chuan smiled, "Tsk, it's the same as your birth..."
Yao Manhuai's expression remained unchanged: "So what?"
Luo Chuan: "He calls me 'Father' now, you said you gave birth, so what are we?"
Yao Manhuai: "How old are you, it's fun to take advantage of this verbal advantage?"
A few words of bickering were regarded as greetings, Luo Chuan stretched out his hand to call a waiter, and ordered whiskey and Baileys.
When the wine was served, Luo Chuan shook his glass and asked Yao Manhuai, "Do you know what I regret the most so far?"
Yao Manhuai: "I have never been able to beat Yin Dong."
"Wrong," Luo Chuan said after taking a sip of wine, staring at her, "I regret why you fell in love with Yin Dong and not me."
Yao Manhuai's fingers trembled, but she didn't speak.
Luo Chuan said: "He has been away for so many years, and you still take care of his two sons, why bother?"
Luo Chuan didn't know the real identities of Yin Chang and Shao Junling: one was an adopted son and the other was a nephew. In fact, neither of them was Yin Dong's own child.
Yao Manhuai didn't explain, she extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette, picked up the Baileys that Luo Chuan had ordered for herself, and said calmly: "I didn't take care of them... They took care of each other and grew up."
Luo Chuan glanced at her: "Then why do you care so much?"
"Get used to it," Yao Manhuai smiled wryly, and said, "I just went to see Yin Chang, and he doesn't seem to be in a good condition. His assistant has repeatedly complained to me, saying that you have been bullying him since you arrived on the set."
"I bullied him?" Luo Chuan laughed angrily. "I turned down Qi Xin's movie to bring the kid who was my rival to act. If I say it, the whole show business circle will give me the 'repaying with virtue' award."
Yao Manhuai clinked the glass with him: "So, didn't I give you a chance to avenge your grievances?"
Luo Chuan was still very angry: "What's more, how much did you make me suffer in front of Yin Dong back then? What if I bullied his son?"
Yao Manhuai: "...you still bullied him?"
"Just the first day," Luo Chuan lowered his eyes to avoid Yao Manhuai's gaze, "let him call me 'Daddy' twice more."
Yao Manhuai: "..."
Luo Chuan: "Then he didn't act well at the beginning, and the movies he acted in before are all shit, and the box office is still so high, it's an insult to my eyes."
Yao Manhuai: "..."
Feeling that Yao Manhuai's eyes stabbed him with a knife, Luo Chuan reversed the conversation in time: "Come on, I admit that he is still very talented. He is entering the play now, how can there be resonance without true feelings? There are many actors in this state It’s all possible.”
Yao Manhuai: "You mean, his current state is influenced by the character?"
Luo Chuan knew that Yao Manhuai could understand, so he didn't explain much, just said: "I'm not worried about him now, but I'm a little worried about him in the future."
Yao Manhuai: "How do you say?"
"Immersive acting is very harmful to actors, especially this kind of tragic and forbearing role. Even professional actors sometimes need a little time to come out..." Luo Chuan pondered, "I have seen Yin Chang for the past two days, only He is alive on the set, but once the filming is over, he will feel as if his soul has gone out of his body, which is a bit dangerous."
Yao Manhuai's face became serious: "Then what should I do?"
Luo Chuan pointed out: "I suggest that you arrange someone for him, preferably someone he can trust in reality, and talk to him more. If he doesn't want to talk, force him to talk, but don't talk about this movie. Wait until the movie is filmed. After that, he will feel that there is still a sustenance in reality, that he can come out sooner... Otherwise, it is possible that he will not be able to come out for the rest of his life."
Yao Manhuai didn't dare to delay at all, after separating from Luo Chuan, she went back to find Lu Lingjuan directly, asking her to chat with Yin Chang for a while every night.
Lu Lingjuan wanted to cry but had no tears: "I want to accompany him, but Yin Chang doesn't talk to me at all."
Yao Manhuai was puzzled: "Don't talk to you?"
"I chatted with him, but he was always distracted. Besides, he wanted to go back to lie down after the set, and I couldn't just stay by his side and talk to myself, lest it would affect his rest," Lu Lingjuan told all the methods she had tried. Yao Manhuai said, "I asked Mi Xiu for help at the beginning, they have a good relationship, but now Mi Xiu dare not look for Yin Chang, he said that the way Yin Chang looked at him made him a little scared..."
Yao Manhuai: "..."
Lu Lingjuan: "At first he would talk to 'Xiao Ling' every day when he went back to his room, but now he doesn't say much."
Yao Manhuai: "Who is Xiaoling?"
Lu Lingjuan: "Yin Chang's younger brother made him a chat robot called 'Xiao Ling'."
Yao Manhuai suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and muttered: "Yes, Shao Junling... you can ask Shao Junling to call Yin Chang every day..."
Lu Lingjuan complained: "Boss Yao, no, Yin Chang told me seriously not to call Shao Junling when I have nothing to do, and not to tell Shao Junling about his insomnia, saying that it would affect his brother's study."
Yao Manhuai: "..."
Don't hit "it's okay", isn't it "an accident" now
With a dark face, Yao Manhuai asked Lu Lingjuan to dial Shao Junling's overseas number: "Jun Ling, are you busy recently?"
"... Aunt Yao?" Shao Junling was on his way to school when he received the call from Yao Manhuai. He knew that this woman would not call him for no reason, so he stopped immediately, with a serious expression on his face, "What's the matter, just tell me."
Yao Manhuai didn't make the situation too serious, but only expressed the hope that he could find time to call Yin Chang every day. Due to the time difference, Yin Chang's time to go to bed at night happened to be Shao Junling's morning, so it should not affect Shao Junling's study.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Lingjuan asked anxiously, "What did he say?"
"He said he knew," Yao Manhuai recalled that just after Shao Junling listened to his request without saying a word on the phone, he said, "Give me two days", and said, "I guess these two days are a bit busy."
Lu Lingjuan was slightly relieved, but in front of Yin Chang, she did not dare to reveal that they had called Shao Junling.
Recently, Yin Chang's performance on the set has been getting better and better, and he has made rapid progress. The next day, there was another scene with Luo Chuan. Yin Chang's state broke out, and he did not lose the wind when confronted with Luo Chuan. After the scene, many old actors who watched shouted "Wonderful".
But the price of this outbreak is that Yin Chang fell ill.
After returning that night, he had a fever of thirty-nine degrees and was lying on the bed raving. But what he even talked in his sleep were lines... The doctor who came to give Yin Chang an IV was so impressed by the young man's professionalism.
Lu Lingjuan, however, was very worried, and her temperature didn't drop after hanging up for a whole day. She was sitting by the bed and was about to change Yin Chang's forehead cooling patch, when her phone rang.
Seeing that the caller ID was "Shao Junling", Lu Lingjuan secretly complained, calling your brother early or late, at this time, even if you want to pick up your brother, you won't be able to answer it.
"Hello?" She pretended to be calm, the matter had come to an end, and she didn't want to tell Shao Jun Lingtu about Yin Chang's illness and make him worry.
But unexpectedly, Shao Junling on the other end of the phone said: "Sister Lu, I'm at Haicheng International Airport now, please send me the location of the set, and I'll call a car."
Three hours later, when Lu Lingjuan saw Shao Junling downstairs in the hotel, he still couldn't believe it.
Shao Junling carried a schoolbag on his back and dragged a suitcase in his hands, and he carried the dusty air of a long journey.
When someone approached, Lu Lingjuan looked up at him and said, "You... Have you grown taller again?"
Shao Junling didn't answer, but asked, "Where's my brother?"
Lu Lingjuan was too ashamed to speak: "He is sick and lying in the room."
Shao Junling frowned deeply, Lu Lingjuan didn't dare to say more, and led him to take the elevator. Yin Chang's room was on the 12th floor. When she went up, she asked again, "Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
Shao Junling: "The Christmas holiday will start next week, and I will buy a plane ticket after finishing the project ahead of schedule."
Lu Lingjuan was pleasantly surprised: "Then how long can you stay here?"
Shao Junling: "One month."
Lu Lingjuan was so excited that his face lit up: "Great! Good! That's it!"
