He Mu’s apology this time was largely due to the pressure caused by Li Qian, and Li Qian’s targeting of He Mu was not entirely to stand up for Luo Yu, but more of a competition between the two major film and television companies. Li Qian simply gave Luo Yu an opportunity.

Why didn’t he have so many opportunities in the previous life?

For example, Lin Yue’s approval, Hua Xingyun staying up late editing the script to add scenes for him, Gu Xiaowei’s protection, and Li Qian’s counterattack against Dijun Media.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The reasons was because he cared too much about the pressure of public opinion brought by He Mu. The water army and anti fans said that he was picking up He Mu’s leftovers, so he rejected all the resources that came into contact with He Mu, thinking that this way He Mu would not have the chance to ridicule him. Who knew that not only did he lose the opportunities to showcase himself and have more people in the industry recognize him, he was also suppressed even more thoroughly by Dijun Media.

Birds of a feather flock together.

If Luo Yu wants to win, he must have his own allies or be recognized by industry authorities.

Lin Yue and Hua Xingyun were people with authority in the industry, and Gu Xiaowei was also a strong comrade. The most important thing was that they all wanted to make good film works, and they were like-minded with Luo Yu.

Luo Yu sighed deeply. If he could understand his truth back then, or if his ability to withstand pressure could be stronger, he wouldn’t have been trapped for ten years.

No… those ten years could not be said to be hardship, but training.

Without those ten years, he wouldn’t be where he was now. A blessing in disguise was a blessing in disguise.

After reading He Mu’s apology announcement, Luo Yu put the phone aside and said to Gu Xiaowei, “Ask Xiao Qin to stay and eat together? From the look on her face, it’s obvious that she wants me to reward her chicken drumstick.”

“Okay.” Gu Xiaowei nodded. 

However, Xiao Qin came close to Luo Yu and said: “Brother Luo! Look at that apology announcement some more! How proud He Mu is, and how domineering Dijun Media is. It is practically a milestone in the industry to make them admit their wrongs! Won’t you take a screenshot as a souvenir?”

Gu Xiaowei separated his chopsticks and lowered his eyes as he said, “The enmity in this circle changes fast. In the blink of an eye, you don’t know who is the most sought after.”

Luo Yu opened the lotus leaves, put on plastic gloves, and generously pulled off a chicken drumstick and put it in Xiao Qin’s bowl: “Not my business anyway, besides, what we want is not to be sought after.”

Xiao Qin looked at the chicken drumstick in her bowl, then at her Brother Gu and Luo Yu, and whispered: “You two have the same views and are a perfect match.”

Fortunately, Luo Yu didn’t eat yet, otherwise he would have choked.

The filming in the next few days was much simpler. The plot was mainly that Ah Lan did not die after being thrown into the river, but because of Yan Ye’s tip-off, the police were already prepared and quickly dived to fish out Ah Lan while Bai Ying left. As a result, a lot of information was extracted from Ah Lan’s mouth and many of the Bai family’s underground trading channels were destroyed by the police.

Later, when Yan Ye used the cigarette box to give clues to the police, he was discovered by Bai Zhongxing’s confidant Uncle He. At the critical moment, Bai Ying dealt with Uncle He and spoke to Yan Ye, implying that he knew Yan Ye was the police undercover agent, but he wouldn’t reveal it.

In front of the camera, Bai Ying, played by Luo Yu, had a trace of Uncle He’s blood on his cheek, like a crack in the white frost.

Bai Ying glanced at Uncle He indifferently, but when he raised his head and looked at Yan Ye, there was a smile in his eyes, like an elder cleaning up a child’s mess, “Next time, be smarter when you do bad things.”

Then he turned around and left as if nothing had happened.

But Yan Ye stayed behind, raising his hand as if to wipe away the blood on Bai Ying’s face, but in the end he failed to touch the other’s face.

At this scene, not only Lin Yue nodded to express his satisfaction, but Xie Shang, who poked her head over to look at the screen, also praised: “Bai Ying is such a good man, he is basically using his empire and future to pamper Yan Ye.”

As the director, Lin Yue almost choked on his chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea.

“Xiao Xie, aren’t you filming in Group B? Why did you run over to Group A?” Lin Yue asked with a smile.

“The scenery props are being changed over there, so I came over to watch the two best actors in Group A.” Xie Shang said with a smile.

“Then have you learned anything?”

“Well, I may be a little bit behind on the tension, so Brother Gu, you have to work hard in the romantic scenes! Look at me more affectionately than when you look at Bai Ying!” Xie Shang waved to the two who were resting.

Luo Yu looked at Xie Shang. This young lady didn’t have the airs of a popular actress at all. On the contrary, she was like the little sister next door. He couldn’t help but smile.

“She asks you to be more affectionate when acting in your scenes.” Luo Yu nudged Gu Xiaowei with his elbow.

“Doesn’t Senior Brother know perfectly well whether I am deeply affectionate or not?” Gu Xiaowei asked back.

It was obviously a very mild remark, but it instantly reminded Luo Yu of the contest between them that day about who could act more affectionately than who, as if to say that the outcome was still undecided, and they would battle another day.

Luo Yu’s heart felt as if something had nudged it. He kept getting the feeling that when he was the least prepared, Gu Xiaowei would give him a fatal blow.

After all, this guy had a really strong desire to win in acting.

Before one knew it, more than two weeks had passed. In a few days, Bai Ying would finish filming, and Luo Yu would say goodbye to this crew with the most harmonious atmosphere.

“Then I’ll go find you tonight.” Gu Xiaowei said.

“Find me? Aren’t there only the last few scenes left? Haven’t we practiced already before?”

“According to Senior Brother, one’s eyes in romantic scenes must be steamy, appearing deeply affectionate even when looking at a dog. The remaining difficulty in this drama are the scenes with the heroine. The romantic scenes——I am still not as good as Senior Brother, so while you are still here, I must compare notes with you.”

Luo Yu choked, not knowing whether Gu Xiaowei was joking or serious. This guy’s romantic scenes were obviously pretty good.

Also, wasn’t “comparing notes” the same as battling?

In the previous life, Luo Yu went to the movie theater to watch a movie where Gu Xiaowei played a palace painter. This painter seemed unable to resist beauties, but was actually the half-brother of a certain prince on the mother’s side. He circulated among the beauties in the harem, obtaining information for his younger brother to seize the throne.

In one of the scenes, the palace painter and a maid beside the empress had a secret fling together among countless hanging paintings. Gu Xiaowei only used two seconds of expression to interpret the broken restraint and indulgence to the extreme.

To this day, whenever Luo Yu thought about that moment, he would clap his hands and exclaim in praise.

“Well, don’t come to me for emotional scenes… this…”

For a lifetime bachelor, if there was a script, he could hold any deep emotion, but if he really compared notes with the other out of thin air for half an hour and was looked at in such a way by Gu Xiaowei’s eyes, wouldn’t he be completely shattered?

No, wait… Gu Xiaowei, if you want to practice romantic scenes, you should find the female lead! For the romantic scenes, how could you find a man? This was a completely different matter to brotherly love!

Before Luo Yu could finish speaking, Gu Xiaowei was called away by a staff member.

It wasn’t until the lunch break that Luo Yu was called over by Director Lin.

He originally thought that Lin Yue wanted to discuss the last scene with him. After all, it was the ending scene of Bai Ying’s character.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yue said to him with a guilty look on his face: “Xiao Luo, I’m afraid you won’t be able to audition for the eunuch role. I’m sorry.”

“Huh? Oh… I haven’t finished filming here, so I can’t possibly ask the crew of “Sunset over the River” to wait for me, right? This is unrealistic.” Luo Yu said.

But Lin Yue was more earnest than he thought.

“I originally agreed to let the crew of “Sunset over the River” give you the opportunity to audition for the eunuch, but… the director of “Sunset over the River”, Xiong He, just called me and told me that the filming location for the costume drama is a bit tight, so all the auditions have been moved forward. He only told me today after recalling this.”

Of course Luo Yu could understand Director Xiong’s considerations, “It doesn’t matter, the world is such a big place, there are always other dramas to be filmed, I will look for another opportunity.”

Lin Yue said: “You can rest assured and finish Bai Ying’s filming first. Although I may not be able to help you find a role like the eunuch, similar roles are still possible.”

“Thank you, Director Lin. Don’t worry, I will let Bai Ying’s scenes come to a successful conclusion. And what I like is just the complexity of the role. I don’t really have to play a eunuch.”

“I know, I know, because I also think it’s a good character that can be explored in depth.”

Seeing Lin Yue’s earnest look, Luo Yu was moved. Because Lin Yue was really helping to consider his future.

In the afternoon of that day, the filming of Luo Yu’s scenes went relatively smoothly, and the work ended at around six o’clock.

Luo Yu opened his boxed meal, put his phone on the phone stand, and was about to watch a TV series when there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it? Fang Qin?”

Fang Qin had a room card. Why would he knock on the door? Could it be that his room card was lost?

As soon as Luo Yu opened the door, he came face to face with Gu Xiaowei and almost lost the grip on the chopsticks that were in his mouth.

However, Gu Xiaowei reached out and grabbed Luo Yu’s chopsticks before they could fall.

“Senior Brother, are you having dinner?”

“Ah…yes…” Luo Yu turned sideways and invited the other man to come in.

Gu Xiaowei was holding a paper bag in his hand, “Xiao Qin ordered white fungus soup, I came to bring it to you.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Hahaha, white finish soup is refreshing and nourishing. Thank you Xiao Qin.” Luo Yu took the bag and put it on the table, feeling a little warm in his heart.

Maybe it’s because they have practiced together so many times, Gu Xiaowei really took care of him, in fact, this car also held the respect from a junior to his senior. Every time he called him “senior brother”, he was not just being polite, but sincerely recognized Luo Yu as his senior brother.
