"Two years ago?" Yin Chang searched his memory, and remembered that the celebration banquet that Lu Lingjuan mentioned was not exactly two years ago, but it was in August of the year before last.
Since Yin Chang's "A Difference in One Thought" was a big hit at the box office and word of mouth, after the movie was released, the show specially held a celebration banquet at the Emperor Star Hotel. In addition to the lead actors, many insiders were also invited to attend.
It was the first time that Yin Chang participated in a film as a real hero. Unlike the invisible hero in "The Blind Man", Yin Chang played a lot of roles in "A Difference", and it was also that movie that made Yin Chang famous in the film industry. Word of mouth has improved a lot, so at the celebration banquet, he was inevitably toasted and congratulated by everyone.
But that day, Yin Chang didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Although the success of the film is gratifying, the overwhelming praise makes Yin Chang feel ashamed. Compared with his own strength, he still thinks it is mostly luck. Therefore, Yin Chang felt a lot of pressure on such an occasion full of superficial compliments. Especially those people who repeatedly mentioned Yin Dong in front of him, they all said with a smile on his face that he had a bright future, that he would surpass Yin Dong sooner or later, and that he and Yin Dong would become the first father and son pair of movie kings in movie history.
Those words did not make Yin Chang happy, but made him feel embarrassed. His father, Zhuyu, was in front, and Yin Chang never thought of surpassing him.
…
When Yin Chang is in a bad mood, he will unconsciously drink more.
He did drink a little too much that night, but even so, he maintained a certain sobriety. After all, this is in the entertainment industry. As a star, he pays attention to his personal image, and he is most afraid of losing his mind after drinking.
Before the banquet ended, Yin Chang realized that he was not in good condition, so he immediately asked Lu Lingjuan to arrange for him to leave early. Lu Lingjuan took him to a private room to rest, and then called the driver.
Yin Chang has no memory of what happened after that.
He woke up at home the next day, and then Lu Lingjuan called to ask him how he was resting, but he didn't say anything else on the phone, so he thought it was the driver, Brother Qi, who brought him back.
"Do you have to let Shao Junling come to pick you up? Is there such a thing?" Yin Chang looked bewildered.
"Yes! When you entered the private room, you couldn't stand anymore, and you were dizzy. I couldn't help you by myself. When I went out to find someone to help, I ran into Mi Xiu..."
Mi Xiu was also there that day. Although Mi Xiu was not an actor in "One Thought", because Yin Chang had a good relationship with him, many directors and stars knew him, so they invited him over together. Seeing Lu Lingjuan helping Yin Chang into the private room, he followed and knocked on the door, asking her if Yin Chang was not feeling well.
Lu Lingjuan said frankly that she wanted to go down to pick up Brother Qi, so she asked Mi Xiu to take a look at Yin Chang temporarily in the private room.
"You asked Mi Xiu to come in and watch me?" Yin Chang was startled again.
"You even forgot about him going in?" Lu Lingjuan realized later, "My God, so you were already drunk at that time!"
Yin Chang: "..."
In fact, Lu Lingjuan would not necessarily let someone in if it were another star, but Mi Xiu was different. Since Yin Chang and Mi Xiu met in "Super Star Life" six years ago, they have become particularly good friends. The two not only show their friendship outside, but they also often meet in private to chat, drink tea and watch movies, and talk about almost everything.
Lu Lingjuan was well aware of their relationship, so she let go of her guard against Mi Xiu. She couldn't leave Yin Chang alone in the private room, so what if a waiter took the opportunity to go in and harass him? This kind of thing is not unheard of in the circle.
And when she left, Yin Chang was still sitting inside with his eyes closed, Lu Lingjuan always thought that Yin Chang had a clear mind at that time.
As a result, she went downstairs to pick up someone's work, and when she came back, she saw Mi Xiu squatting in front of Yin Chang, teasing him with great interest.
"How much is this?" Mi Xiu waved a finger in front of Yin Chang's eyes.
"One." Yin Chang's eyes were straightened, but he was able to answer the question correctly.
"What about this?" Mi Xiu stretched out two fingers.
Yin Chang frowned at Mi Hubi's "V": "What are you going to show off to me?"
Mi Xiu laughed "haha": "Are you drunk after all?"
"No." Yin Chang said clearly.
"Then who am I?" Mi Xiu pointed to himself and asked again.
"Rice." Yin Chang said.
"Wrong," Mi Xiu corrected him, "I am your brother Mi!"
Yin Chang: "..."
Seeing that she was bringing the driver in, Mi Xiu didn't know how to restrain himself, he grabbed the back of Yin Chang's hand and patted: "Hey, call me brother, I'll take you home, okay?"
"Not good," Yin Chang shook off his hand, frowning, "I want my brother!"
From that moment on, Yin Chang completely lost his mind.
Brother Qi was going to help him downstairs, but when he approached, he scolded "Go away", and he didn't dare to act rashly again.
Lu Lingjuan went over to coax him: "I'll see your brother when you get home."
"No, I'm going to see Shao Junling now!" Yin Chang, who was quite calm just now, suddenly became a little domineering. He patted the table and stubbornly asked his younger brother to pick him up and go home.
Mi Xiu didn't expect that Yin Chang would be provoked by his casual joke, and they looked at each other, Lu Lingjuan asked in a daze, "What should we do now?"
"... knocked out and carried back?" Mi Xiu suggested a stupid solution.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Chang glanced over fiercely, causing the three of them to shrink back in fright.
The driver, Brother Qi, raised his hands cowardly as a gesture of surrender: "Yin Chang knows Muay Thai. I have sparred with him, but he can't beat him. Maybe he can still do drunken boxing now, which is even more powerful!"
Everyone: "..."
Yin Chang scanned around and didn't see Shao Junling in the room, so he muttered his brother's name and wanted to go out and find it by himself. As a result, as soon as I got up, the whole person began to wobble. Lu Lingjuan was anxious: "Hold him!"
Mi Xiu boldly pressed him back, and urged: "What are you waiting for, where is Shao Junling? Hurry up and call him!"
"What happened later?" Yin Chang was startled when he heard that.
Lu Lingjuan: "Your brother came later."
At that time, luck was very good. When Lu Lingjuan called Shao Junling, Shao Junling had just come out of the martial arts hall. The martial arts hall was not far from the hotel where they held the celebration banquet. Uncle Fang, who was usually responsible for picking up Shao Junling, was also waiting nearby. Shao Junling was less than half an hour away. The hour is up.
But drunk people are unreasonable. In just half an hour, Yin Chang tormented Lu Lingjuan and the others quite terribly.
He didn't beat Mi Xiu, but Mi Xiu couldn't hold him down either. He stood up stubbornly again and again, because he couldn't stand firmly, he grabbed whatever he could grab around him to help him, and then got annoyed and started throwing things down again. The desktop potted plants and teacups in the room were all swept to the ground.
Mi Xiu couldn't bear it, so he asked Qi Ge to support him for a while, and ran out in a hurry, and brought in a white plush bear that was used as a decoration at the celebration banquet—it was a used prop in "A Difference in One Thought".
The character played by Yin Chang is an elite with extraordinary abilities outside, but he suffers from severe insomnia in private. He has to hug a teddy bear every night to fall asleep.
In order to maintain his own image, the hero doesn’t want anyone to know the secret, and a series of funny plots happened in the movie because of this—his good friend suspected that he was a treasure in the golden house, his secretary suspected that he was a psychopath, and his ex-girlfriend even suspected that he was a psychopath. He cheated and broke up with him... But he would rather bear these misunderstandings than explain.
Later, he was sent on a short-term business trip abroad by high-level officials. In order to sleep normally, he specially packed his bear in a large suitcase. As a result, by mistake, he got the wrong suitcase with the heroine who was traveling with him, which led to a new relationship...
Although this bear is just a prop, it is definitely the most important "role" in the film, so it naturally appeared at the celebration banquet.
I heard that after the banquet was over, a female star's assistant wanted to take the bear back, but just as the two of them dragged the bear off the table, it was snatched away by Mi Xiu who rushed out.
Mi Xiu said, "Let me use it", carried the bear back to the box, stuffed it into Yin Chang's arms, and said out of breath, "Then, your brother is here."
Sure enough, Yin Chang calmed down. He hugged the bear with a psychedelic expression.
The female star and her assistant followed for no apparent reason, and then Mi Xiu's agent also came. A group of people stood at the door of the box, staring dumbfounded at Yin Chang holding the prop bear tightly, stroking it, While whispering a name...
The female star is Xu Xiaolan, who plays the ex-girlfriend of "Yin Chang" in the movie. She is not as famous as Yin Chang, but she is Yin Chang's senior in the show business circle. Lu Lingjuan couldn't drive people away, so he had to call them all in and close the door, lest more people come to watch the excitement.
Xu Xiaolan asked strangely: "Yin Chang, what's the matter?"
Mi Xiu gloated: "He's drunk!"
Xu Xiaolan could see that he was drunk, but the appearance of Yin Chang holding the prop bear after drunk made it easy for people to substitute into the hero in "A Difference in One Thought". Xu Xiaolan has come into contact with a lot of actors, most of them are completely different in acting and in private, but Yin Chang... If he is not acting in his true colors, Xu Xiaolan can only say that Yin Chang may be too involved in acting, and it has been so long since the filming , he still can't forget this bear... What a formidable young man!
Shao Junling appeared in this weird atmosphere.
After entering the door, he swept around the crowd, walked straight to Yin Chang who was holding on to the prop bear, and called "Brother".
Yin Chang, who had been turning a blind eye to everyone just now, heard Shao Junling's voice, and unexpectedly raised his head to look at him, his out-of-focus eyes quickly lit up. He hooked the corner of his mouth and pulled out a smirk: "You are here."
Shao Junling didn't talk much, he pulled Yin Chang's hand away from the bear, and only said three words: "Go home."
Then, Yin Chang stood up, and was led away obediently by Shao Junling without making a fuss.
…
Whenever thinking about what happened that night, Lu Lingjuan felt complicated and could not laugh.
Yin Chang was also tongue-tied after hearing this, in disbelief: "Why didn't you tell me about this at the beginning?"
"I thought Shao Junling would tell you... Besides, I called you the next day, but you didn't mention it to me. I thought you were embarrassed to tell me, so I won't talk too much." Lu Lingjuan stuck out her tongue, kindly Satisfied.
"...he didn't tell me." Yin Chang looked confused.
"Uh, isn't that very good, everyone didn't take it to heart." Lu Lingjuan comforted him.
After Shao Junling took Yin Chang away, Lu Lingjuan took Yin Chang's face into consideration and asked Xu Xiaolan and her assistant not to tell about Yin Chang's drunken gaffe. Xu Xiaolan also joked: "Speaking of this kind of thing also made Yin Chang popular. He didn't go crazy with alcohol, but just hugged a bear, how cute."
Of course, Lu Lingjuan did not forget to tell the unruly Mi Xiu, Mi Xiu winked at her and said, "It depends on my mood."
But now it seems that both of them have a good reputation, at least for almost two years, and Yin Chang still doesn't know that he has such a dark history...
"But to be honest, Shao Junling has changed a lot in the past two years." Lu Lingjuan said with emotion.
When Shao Junling came that day, he nodded and greeted everyone, and said goodbye to everyone when he left, acting very politely.
The point is that his demeanor at that time was so calm that no one could have imagined that he was still a fifteen-year-old kid... Yes, he was only fifteen years old at that time.
Later, Xu Xiaolan asked Lu Lingjuan who was the person who came to pick up Yin Chang. Lu Lingjuan said it was his younger brother Shao Junling, and Xu Xiaolan was very surprised. She had watched "Super Star Life" before, and asked, "Is it the younger brother who filmed variety shows with Yin Chang?"
Lu Lingjuan said yes, Xu Xiaolan said unexpectedly: "Why have you grown so tall, I can't even recognize it."
