After “Black and White” was released in Hong Kong, its reputation was particularly good. The box office exceeded 18 million in the first week of its release, and it directly became the champion of this week’s box office chart. In the second week, the box office rose even more rapidly, directly exceeding 25 million. At this time, the Hong Kong Golden Crow Award also announced the shortlist for this year’s awards. The crew of “Black and White” had been shortlisted for a series of heavyweight awards including Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, etc. It had become the biggest dark horse of this year’s Golden Crow Awards.

In this kind of situation, all the crew members were completely pumped up. Director Xu Musen and members of the production team began to look forward to the box office release of “Black and White” in the mainland. According to conservative estimates, it could break the 200 million yuan mark at least.

Motivated by the smell of money, the entire crew was thrown into a busy state, going all out to make up for the mainland version of “Black and White”. In order to ensure that the plot was exciting enough, the screenwriting team of “Black and White” once again approached Tao Mu, the producer of the mainland version of “Black and White”. Taling initiative to ask to discuss the script more with his screenwriting team and continue to polish it some more, in order to match the production style of the Hong Kong version of “Black and White”.

Because of the memories of his previous life, he was worried that the Hong Kong production team would not care about the remake version, so he found the screenwriting team of “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood” to adapt the script of the mainland version of “Black and White”. However, because of the different production styles, the reshoots of the mainland version were completely different from the Hong Kong version in terms of lines and camera performance. Even though Tao Mu had tried his best to make up for it with the cooperation of the Hong Kong production team, there were still some imperfections that could be seen. In particular, the part where Gu Yuzhang participated in the filming. Using a vivid metaphor, it was like a mainland soldier had suddenly appeared in the Hong Kong police team, so the out of place feeling could not be more obvious.

But this was also not something they could do anything about. First of all, Gu Yuzhang was a mainland actor, and from Yan Film Academy. Although he was only a freshman this year, his performance style had been influenced by the mainland, and was slightly in the direction of stage play acting. Secondly, before entering the crew, Gu Yuzhang had been receiving training in the army. Even after entering the crew, in order to ensure that his training progress was not left behind, Gu Yuzhang was also actively exercising after filming. Therefore, in all of his gestures and posture, there was a kind of soldier’s vigor and resoluteness, uprightness and justice. This kind of aura was not the same as that of the Hong Kong police.

In order to make Gu Yuzhang’s performance closer to the Hong Kong police, Tao Mu also threw Gu Yuzhang into the Hong Kong Police Academy for a week. He even introduced Gu Yuzhang to Jiang Jingwen and several other police officers at a gathering of friends. Allowing Gu Yuzhang to closely observe the words and gestures of the Hong Kong police, and imitate them.

It had to be said that although Gu Yuzhang’s emotional intelligence was a little low, there was definitely nothing negative to be said about his acting talent. In just one week, Gu Yuzhang’s Hong Kong police officer image managed to be 70 to 80 percent alike. The last twenty percent belonged to his innate behavior style accumulated from the environment, and the different aura he developed after training in the mainland troops. But this difference was a perfect complement to Yan Yu’s characteristic of possessing a black-and-white view, which was already very out of place.

Tao Mu’s production level once again conquered the Hong Kong production team. This was also the reason why the screenwriting team of “Black and White” was able to put aside their prejudice and correct their attitude, and offered to polish the script.

With the full support of the screenwriting team, the script of the mainland remake of “Black and White” did its best to be close to the production level of the Hong Kong version in detail. Although the shooting schedule was delayed by half a month compared to the original plan. But the finished film was really satisfying indeed. The rest was left to post editing. Director Xu personally did the editing and took the post-production team of the “Black and White” crew with him into closed door seclusion. The bigwigs who once again ended filming were also unable to rest, and instead jumped head first into the Golden Crow Award PR.

Despite shooting a movie for the first time, yet able to be shortlisted for the Golden Crow Award for Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor. There was no doubt that Tao Mu himself was also a dark horse among the finalists of this year’s Golden Crow Award. At the same time, he was also the most popular Best Newcomer Award winner in the eyes of public, fans and the media——because the nominees for the Best Supporting Actor award were all famous celebrities in Hong Kong. Among them, two of the nominees were even on par with A-list big names such as Zhou Yanqing, Wang Jinsheng and Luo Daming. Therefore, the public was not optimistic that Tao Mu could win the best supporting actor award. It was not that Tao Mu’s acting skills were not good, it was just that in terms of his qualifications and contacts in the circle, everyone felt that Tao Mu was relatively lacking. Coupled with the tacit xenophobia of the Hong Kong film industry, it was estimated that there were many people in the Golden Crow Awards jury who did not want Tao Mu, a newbie who had just debuted, to win such an important award as Best Supporting Actor.

But other than that, everyone felt that Tao Mu would definitely win the Best Newcomer Award. After all, among the five nominees for the Best Newcomer Award, only Tao Mu was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Also, only Tao Mu’s acting skills could beat the other four finalists. This was already a fact for all to see. Therefore, many people were speculating that Tao Mu would definitely do his best to PR the Best Newcomer Award. And the Golden Crow Award jury was definitely willing to hand over this kind of insignificant award to encourage newcomers from afar. Create a fair and equitable image for the Golden Crow Award.

This kind of conclusive public opinion spread to the ears of the other four nominees, and naturally they were sour, unconvinced yet unable to refute. The other three nominees were well aware of the gap between themselves and Tao Mu——in terms of background capital and acting skills, they could not compare at all. In addition to being sour, they could only accept their fate. They even pondered on getting to know Tao Mu and striking up friendly relations at the Golden Crow Awards ceremony, and in the future, if there were good resources, they could also benefit.

Only Shen Yu, who had always seen himself as an opponent, could not accept this kind of evaluation. However, he knew about his own affairs, no matter how much Shen Yu secretly thought in his heart that he was not inferior to Tao Mu, there was no way for their performances in the movie to fool people. Tao Mu and Shen Yu——to be precise, in all the scenes between Zhou Yuanting and Yan Yu, Tao Mu’s acting skills could steamroll him. Especially in the explosive police station scene, Tao Mu’s wonderful acting skills and powerful aura directly overwhelmed Shen Yu, who was also in the camera frame. So much so that after the film was released, all professional film critics and unprofessional fans who had watched the film raved about Tao Mu’s acting skills. Many people even said that they didn’t even notice Shen Yu at all. Simply a background board from start to finish. His character’s image was obviously so good, but the acting was not as good as the little gang leader played by Du Ze.

Many fans expressed frankly that the only scene where they had a deep impression on Yan Yu was probably the last ten minutes of the film’s port shootout. When Yan Yu confronted Zhou Yuanting with a gun, the little detail in which his finger was not on the trigger. As well as the scene where Zhou Yuanting blocked the gunshot and died.

Well-informed people in the industry knew that the performance of these two scenes was actually based on Tao Mu’s suggestion. Shen Yu’s fears at the time of filming really came true——everyone credited Tao Mu for his outstanding performance.

What’s more was that there were still many paparazzi in Hong Kong who had bad intentions. Because “Black and White” was still in theaters, all actors have to cooperate with the crew to participate in promotional activities. Therefore, when being interviewed, many entertainment reporters would take the initiative to ask Shen Yu, what do you think of the choice of another actor for the role of Yan Yu for the mainland remake of “Black and White”? They even mentioned the old grievances between Gu Yuzhang and Shen Yu out of malocious amusement, and asked Shen Yu directly who he thought had better acting skills, Gu Yuzhang or himself? Who was more competent for the role of Yan Yu?

They were all movie-related questions, and it was impossible for Shen Yu to use the official statement of “not answering questions unrelated to the movie” as a shield. But such tough questions were not easy to answer. Especially at the critical moment when Shen Yu was preparing to compete for the Golden Crow Award for Best Newcomer Award——

You think your performance was good and you want to win an award, but you ended up being replaced by someone else to play your role. What’s even more embarrassing was that the one who replaced Shen Yu with someone else happened to be Tao Mu, the producer. Tao Mu’s acting skills and production level were already recognized as first-class in the industry.

This situation was very unfavorable for Shen Yu’s PR of the Best Newcomer Award. Even Shen Yu’s public relations team said that if Tao Mu himself didn’t break out any negative news before the awards ceremony, they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to PR the Best Newcomer Award for Shen Yu——after all, no matter how big and influential the Lin family’s influence in Hong Kong was, the Golden Crow Award still had some dignity. With Tao Mu as a shining example in front, and the aggressiveness of the media and public opinion, it was impossible for them to PR the Best Newcomer Award to Shen Yu.

Tao Mu, Tao Mu, Tao Mu again!

Shen Yu didn’t understand. Why couldn’t he get around the obstacle named Tao Mu in every step he took? This person had simply become a stumbling block in his career. So long as Tao Mu was around, he would not be able to do anything in his life.

In front of fame and fortune, Shen Yu, who had long held a grudge against Tao Mu, became more and more unable to bear it. Cocidentally, at this time, the mainland media broke the news again that “Shen Yu’s biological mother lied, someone broke the news that Shen Yu’s biological mother abandoned the baby in a rental house in Beijing.”

——The single mother took the newborn child, abandoned the child in the rental house and left by herself, and this incident happened in Beijing. Did this experience look familiar? The group of netizens and fans who often eat melons on the Internet immediately connected this to that a man who could cause a bloody storm in the entertainment industry. Then they connected this to the conflict between that man and the Shen family, specifically with the siblings Shen Yan and Shen Yu…..F**k, this had more twists and turns, ups and downs than the plot of a dog-blood TV series! ! !

In addition to being shocked, public opinion instantly boiled over. Shen Yu’s biological mother, who originally appeared with the image of a motherly white lotus flower and won the favor of netizens, was instantly labeled as a vicious white lotus b*tch. Some netizens even started conspiracy theories, suspecting that Shen Yu’s biological mother had seen Shen Yan secretly switching the children, so that was why she left the hospital overnight, and even abandoned the child thousands of miles away in a small rental house in Beijing in order to kill the baby and eliminate the evidence.

One must know that the child was born less than two months ago, and such a small child was forced to travel thousands of miles away and then became abandoned in a rental house for several days. That was not just the crime of abandonment, it was simply intentional homicide.

Letting her own child replace the second son of the Shen family to enjoy a rich life, and then abandon the real second son of the Shen family in Beijing, thousands of miles away. This simply cut off the possibility of the child recognizing his biological parents. Even if the Shen family found out the truth, if it weren’t for the development of the Internet more than ten years later and the information being so convenient and fast spreading, it was very likely that the Shen family would never be able to find the real second son of the Shen family.

In an instant, the public opinion reversed, and Shen Yu’s biological mother immediately became a vicious woman who was cursed at by everyone. Shen Yu’s biological mother never thought that things would turn out like this. Of course she refused to admit that she had such vicious thoughts.

“I’m not lying. I really didn’t know about the children being switched. If it’s like what you said, I intentionally abandoned the child. Why go to the effort of taking the child all the way to Beijing with me to work, and then took care of him for more than a month?” Shen Yu’s biological mother was less than twenty years old back then, but she gave birth to a child out of wedlock. In that conservative era, one could imagine how stressful a single mother had it.

Shen Yu’s biological mother really wanted to raise her child well. It was just that she didn’t think about how hard it would be for a single mother to bring up a child. Money couldn’t even make up for this kind of difficulty. So in the end, Shen Yu’s biological mother regretted it. She left the child in the rental house and walked away. But she had no intention of putting her child to death.

It was just that Shen Yu’s mother also understood that if she admitted to her abandonment of her child, putting aside whether her current husband and son would think that she was cold-blooded and not responsible, she herself couldn’t bear the crime of abandonment. And if the Shen family knew that she deliberately left the child in the rental house to survive or die…..She was also afraid that the Shen family would take their anger out on her and Shen Yu for this.

Shen Yu’s biological mother was a regular full-time wife. As a mother and wife, Shen Yu’s biological mother’s usual everyday life was taking care of her parents-in-law, raising her children, and managing housework. In her own words, she rarely went online at all. So she didn’t know about the various hot search headlines on the Internet. Not to mention Tao Mu’s birth experience.

In her opinion, the child who was abandoned in the rental house must have died. Although she was very sorry and felt heartache, so many years had passed after all, how could she ruin her current life for an abandoned baby from back then? Since the child was gone, what was the difference between intentional abandonment and premature death?

The world sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, and Shen Yu’s biological mother felt that she just wanted to maintain her current stable family and life. The events of nineteen years ago were a stain on her life. She didn’t want to recall it, but she had to recall it under the coercion of the Shen family. So in order to protect herself, she had concealed some facts, wasn’t this okay?

How could she have thought that things would be so coincidental, there happened to be a bloody storm raising man in the entertainment circle, and his birth experience was an orphan who was abandoned in a rental house by his biological mother when he was just a baby?

Don’t even mention Shen Yu’s biological mother, even everyone in the Shen family who was in the center of the whirlpool was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe it. Mrs. Shen, who had thought that her youngest son died tragically, couldn’t even wait to book a plane ticket and wanted nothing more than to fly to Hong Kong to recognize her son. Even the father and son pair of the Shen family, who had always been calm and basically didn’t take looking for the missing child seriously, were moved and prepared to follow Mrs. Shen to Hong Kong.

Shen Yan suddenly felt like being struck by a thunderbolt. She hadn’t forgotten how she offended Tao Mu in the first place. And with Tao Mu’s vengeful character, if he really became the second son of the Shen family, would he take revenge on her?

No,that was not right. If Tao Mu was really the second son of the Shen family, then she, Shen Yan, was Tao Mu’s sister. At that time, she would be the biological sister of the CEO of FlyNews.com and BulletScreen.com? Could Tao Mu still dare to take revenge on his own sister without caring about their blood relation?

Thinking of this, Shen Yan not only was not afraid, but instead became confident. She even felt that Tao Mu was indeed a man of the Shen family, and it was because of the blood of the Shen family that he was so capable. Much better than that fake, Shen Yu.

——No, that was not completely accurate. If Tao Mu was really the second son of the Shen family who was abandoned back then. Then Tao Mu should be called Shen Yu. The child of the Shen family who was endowed with all the beauty of the world. Thinking of Tao Mu’s disgust for Shen Yu, and Shen Yu’s obsession with the name, Shen Yan became more and more gloating. She even began to ponder that after recognizing each other, she would suggest that the family return the name back to Tao Mu!

Disgust him to death!

Tao Mu and Shen Yu, who were far away in Hong Kong, certainly didn’t know that Shen Yan had such a disgusting plan that could kill two birds with one stone. Although he didn’t want his birth experience to be exposed, today’s Tao Mu was not the Tao Mu who let the Shen family bully him in his previous life. Even if the Shen family really came over, Tao Mu would not admit it. Even if the Shen family wanted to make designs on him, Tao Mu was sure that he would not suffer any losses. One must know that his household registration had long been moved onto the household registration book of Liu Yao and Meng Qi’s family. He had legally recognized family members, had two fathers, a grandfather, and Li Xiaoheng, and he had long passed the age of 18 when he still legally required a guardian. He was no longer the Tao Mu who desperately needed family recognition.

He was doing very well now. The Shen family was no longer needed.

In his previous life, he was not the real second young master Shen, and there was also no need to be crowned with that status in this life. He had no affinity with the Shen family. So it was best that everyone minded their own business. And with Tao Mu’s understanding of the Shen family, if he really didn’t want to go back to the Shen family, he only needed to start from the interests and let the father and son of the Shen family clearly recognize that his existence would definitely not bring any benefits to the Shen family, and may even damage the Shen family’s interests. For their own interests, for example, if the Shen Group might be swallowed up by FlyNews.com or Xiaoheng Capital, then that father and son pair would never let him return to the Shen family. They would even treat him like a snake or a scorpion.

Tao Mu’s plan was very good, but what Tao Mu didn’t expect was that just when he was preparing for the worst, things turned upside down again——

“No! It’s impossible! I don’t believe it!” After the news spread that Tao Mu was probably the second son of the Shen family, Shen Yu was the one who couldn’t believe this fact the most. He never thought that Tao Mu would be the missing second son of the Shen family. Impossible, how was it possible!

Shen Yu felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head, so cold that it had Shen Yu trembling all over.

“What about the test report? The DNA identification that I asked you to do after stealing Tao Mu’s hair should have come out already, right?”

In the blink of an eye, Shen Yu thought of the only life-saving straw, and quickly grabbed Lin Rong’an’s sleeve and asked, “Is he really a child of the Shen family?”

“Of course not.” Lin Rong’an hooked up the corners of his mouth meaningfully, and handed over the DNA test results to Shen Yu.

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

After stealing Tao Mu’s hair for DNA identification, Lin Rong’an secretly uploaded the samples to the Lost Children’s Gene Bank for comparison. If Tao Mu was really a child of the Shen family, then this DNA test sample should be able to be successfully compared with the sample that Chairman Shen left in the gene bank. Unfortunately, the final result showed that Tao Mu was not the child of the Shen family.

“I knew it. I knew it.” Shen Yu held the inspection report tightly like a treasure. With an ecstatic expression: “All of this must be Tao Mu’s conspiracy. He just wants to make trouble for me. He just wants to replace me. I won’t let him succeed. Absolutely not.”

“My…..mother?”

Shen Yu, who never gave much thought that he had a biological mother, or that he would call another stranger “mother” in addition to Mrs. Shen, was instantly at a loss. He subconsciously looked at Tao Mu. Shen Yu was actually a little afraid of a blood relative who he had never met and didn’t know the details of.

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

At this moment, Shen Yu suddenly understood why Tao Mu never mentioned the matter of finding his biological parents after he became famous. Relatives who were completely strangers with unknown character. The uncertainty of what the other party would do after learning of their blood relation identity. Shen Yu prided himself on being pure and kind, and he also hoped that his biological mother could be a kind and gentle person as well.

At least don’t be like Tao Mu’s parents who abandoned him in a rental apartment when Tao Mu was just a baby, regardless of his life or death.

Tao Mu frowned inexplicably. He didn’t understand why Shen Yu would look at him at the first moment after hearing the reporter’s question. Thinking of what the reporter said about “the number one most searched on FlyNews.com”, Tao Mu finally understood. Could it be that Shen Yu suspected that his biological mother was found by someone Tao Mu sent?

Oh please, am I such a idle person!

Tao Mu rolled his eyes secretly in his heart.

“I’m sorry, this is the premiere of “Black and White”. I hope our reporter friends won’t ask questions that have nothing to do with the movie.” Although he was a little bit uncomfortable with Shen Yu’s behavior, Zhou Yanqing, who had always been used to being a good guy in the circle, still stood forward and helped Shen Yu out of the siege. Besides, he didn’t want the premiere of “Black and White” to be implicated by Shen Yu’s personal affairs.

The news that Shen Yu’s biological mother was found just climbed to the top of FlyNews.com’s hot search list. Speaking of which, the mainland media were indeed hard-working. Because SARFT issued a ban on Shen Yu, and the mainland media were not allowed to use words related to Shen Yu in their reports. In order to publish the report smoothly, FlyNews Entertainment’s reporters racked their brains, and finally the headline of the news report turned out to be “Shen Group broke the news again, the eldest miss of the Shen family found her adoptive brother’s biological mother, does this mean there is hope to find the real prince?”

This title was really explosive enough, and within an hour of the news report being uploaded to FlyNews.com, it had been hotly searched by many melon-eating netizens. In less than three hours, it had already ranked first on the hot search list.

Speaking of which, this scoop was actually one that the daughter of the Shen family took the initiative to find FlyNews Entertainment and asked FlyNews Entertainment to follow up and report.

Of course, according to Shen Yan’s selfishness, with the hatred she had for Tao Mu, she absolutely did not want to cooperate with FlyNews Entertainment. She didn’t even want to send this kind of hot news to FlyNews Entertainment’s hot search. It was Zhuo Yan who advised her not to act impulsively. After all, FlyNews.com was now the largest social platform in China. Relying on the strong user base of FlyNews.com, FlyNews Entertainment had gradually become the entertainment media with the most influence and the highest publicity in China.

Any news report that appeared on FlyNews.com’s hot search rankings could immediately get the attention of netizens and other media. If Shen Yan really wanted to find the second son of the Shen family as soon as possible, then cooperating with FlyNews Entertainment would undoubtedly be the most efficient.

And taking a step back to tjink about it, even if Shen Yan didn’t want to cooperate with FlyNews Entertainment, and chose other media to report. FlyNews.com and FlyNews Entertainment could also reprint reports from other media. At that time, Shen Yan would not be able to stop netizens from clicking on the search, and FlyNews Entertainment would still be able to put the news on the hot search. Shen Yan’s rejection and resistance were useless and only a waste of time. In this case, it was better to cooperate with FlyNews Entertainment from the very beginning.

With Shen Yan’s arrogant and spoiled temper, if it were someone else, even if it was her own father and brother, Shen Yan would never be so obedient. But Zhuo Yan was different. Shen Yan really liked Zhuo Yan, even if her eldest lady’s temper was always uncontrollable. Because she liked him, she was always suppressed by Zhuo Yan in the end.

So she was willing to listen to Zhuo Yan’s advice. Not only did she cooperated with FlyNews Entertainment, but also took the initiative to hold a live broadcast conference on BullerScreen.com. allowing FlyNews Entertainment’s reporter interview Shen Yu’s mother online. Forcing the woman to tell the truth from many years ago——mainly to explain the clues on the whereabouts of the second son of the Shen family.

Shen Yu’s biological mother was a woman in her thirties. Her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as Shen Yu’s. At first glance, the mother and son looked very much alike. If they stood together, others would never mistaken their blood relation.

Probably because of proper beauty and age maintenance over the years, even if she was in her thirties, she still looked like a girl in her twenties. The skin was fair and delicate, and the aura was clear and gentle, and just sitting there, it gave pople the feeling of a lotus flower swaying in the wind, the fragrance clear and moving. Actually possessing even more feminine attraction than Shen Yan next to her.

The appearance obsessed netizens who were watching the live broadcast immediately became high. After the ban was issued from SARFT, a turbulent heart had nowhere to go, so these netizens who could only climb the wall to follow other stars to find comfort as well as fans of Shen Yu also went to the live broadcast room to show their love to the “mother-in-law”.

Probably because she seldom accepted media interviews, Shen Yu’s mother in front of the camera looked a little nervous. In fact, she didn’t want to reveal her current identity. At that time, for 100,000 yuan, she agreed to be a surrogate mother for Mr. Tan’s child. Although this kind of thing was very common abroad, in that era and in that social environment, not many people could accept it. Even today, surrogacy was still illegal in the country.

So Shen Yu’s mother was tight-lipped about this experience. Her current husband and son did not know at all. Shen Yu’s mother originally thought that she could take this disgraceful past into the coffin. She never thought that all this would be dug up by the eldest lady of the Shen family. And because Shen Yu’s mother was unwilling to stand forward, Shen Yan actually used the influence of the Shen family to find trouble with Shen Yu’s mother’s current husband.

Shen Yu’s mother didn’t want her past experience to affect her husband’s career, so she could only obey Shen Yan’s wishes and stand forward to explain clearly.

“…..That child has already passed away.” Shen Yu’s mother said in front of the camera, with tears in her eyes, seeming in great pain: “I didn’t know that child was the second young master of the Shen family. Back then I agreed to be a surrogate mother for Mr. Tan’s child, but Mrs. Tan was discovered to be pregnant during my pregnancy. The couple regretted it and didn’t want the child anymore. Mr. Tan and Mrs. Tan discussed with me and were willing to give me another 200,000 yuan in exchange for bringing the child back to my hometown to raise.”

“I was young at that time. I just came out of my hometown to work, and I have never seen the world. I have never seen so much money. Because of my greed, I agreed to Mr. Tan’s request for surrogacy. Both Mr. Tan and Mrs. Tan are good people. They have been very kind to me. They have been married for years and have no children, so they promised me that if I could have a child for them, boy or girl, they would treat it as their own.”

But who knew that such a coincidence would happen.

“Not long after I gave birth, I took the child back to my hometown. The child was very weak, and I didn’t know how to take care of the child. I took the child with me on a long journey, both by train and by car. As a result, the child became ill so I had the child treated again. But the child did not survive.”

When Shen Yu’s mother said this, she covered her face, seemingly in a more and more collapsed state, tears falling like raindrops on a petal: “I was very broken at that time. I also suffered from depression. Later, I met my current husband. He actually doesn’t know my past experience. I deceived him. I regret not taking care of that child well. I never thought that it was not my child, but the blood of the Shen family. The Shen family had raised my child carefully for so many years, and they treated him so well. Yet I didn’t take good care of the Shen family’s child…..I’m guilty…..”

When Shen Yu’s mother said this, she was already choked up with sobs.

Even the netizens sitting in front of the computer also wept silently. For a while, they didn’t know whether to sympathize with Shen Yu’s mother or the unlucky second son of the Shen family.

Shen Yan, who had known all this from Shen Yu’s mother a long time ago, also cried. With a choked expression, she expressed that it was all her fault, and it was because she replaced her younger brother out of fun. She killed her own brother.

The impression Shen Yan left on the public had always been arrogant, domineering, bullying, vicious, rude, and uneducated. Sitting in front of the camera at this moment and sincerely repenting, sobbing with her head buried in her hands, it made many keyboard warriors who have only seven seconds of memory feel pity. Instead, they began to comfort Shen Yan. Saying that none of this was her fault. She was only five years old at the time, and she didn’t do it on purpose.

It could inly be said that this was just life. It was the second son of the Shen family who had a bad fate.

This kind of generous handing out of forgiveness immediately angered the sober and logical netizens and the scolding fans of Tao Mu.

——Because Shen Yan had repeatedly made things difficult for Tao Mu before, all fans who have a good impression of Tao Mu would reject Shen Yan. What was more, Shen Yan’s viciousness and rudeness was not only reflected in one or two things. She used to bully so many people based on her family background, and this dark history could not be offset by leting out a few crocodile tears in front of the camera.

That’s right. In the eyes of many netizens and Tao Mu’s fans, Shen Yan’s crying and repentance was just a pretense, and it was the kind of performance that wasn’t believable at all. Tao Mu’s technical fans even specially cut the scene of Shen Yan crying, to compare it with the crying scenes of many actors and actresses in the entertainment industry. They even specifically compared the scene to some legal programs where the family members of the victims who lost their loved ones wept bitterly in front of the camera. After careful comparison, it was concluded that Shen Yan’s crying was too fake.

A woman who switched her younger brother with someone else’s child just for fun, and kept it secret for 18 years, who could believe that her switching was just a prank by a child, unintentional?

What’s more, Shen Yan didn’t take her own younger brother seriously at all. The appearance come from the heart, Shen Yan, who had no professional training at all, was unable to give a wonderful act even if she was acting in front of the camera.

On the other side, after hearing the explanation from Shen Yu’s mother, Chairman Shen and Shen Chen, this father and son pair, actually felt a little relieved besides regret. Although the moment when they learned of the death of their own son and brother, both father and son were a little pained. But at the end of the day, it was just a person whom they hadn’t seen in nineteen years. Not having any personally contact with the other, so the impact was not that great. Therefore, although they regretted the early death of the child, it also eliminated the possibility of a falling out between the brothers due to inheritance issues.

At the same time, also feeling relieved and fortunate was Shen Yu who was far away in Hong Kong. His biological mother was indeed a beautiful, kind and gentle person. And the real second son of the Shen family was no longer in this world. The deceased was left in the past, and although it was heartbreaking, the living would of course live on. And live a more wonderful and happier life.

Even Tao Mu, who had been secretly paying attention to the progress of the matter, breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily. He was glad he could continue to maintain his sockpuppet securely. There was no need to worry about the exposure of his birth background anymore. There was no need to worry about how to face the problems of the Shen family in the future.

The only one who felt true hesrtbreaking pain was probably Mrs. Shen. Ever since she knew that Shen Yu was not her own son, Mrs. Shen had been imagining her own son’s appearance. In her fantasy, her baby should be a more intelligent, beautiful and well-behaved boy than Shen Yu. Who was very obedient to her, like a caring little padded jacket. Mrs. Shen even fantasized about how to pamper him after finding her biological son. Give him back double the mother’s love that had been wrongly placed over these nineteen years.

But all these beautiful things were brutally shattered by Shen Yu and his mother. Such that Mrs. Shen never even saw her own son once, yet she lost him forever. This kind of realization was too heart-wrenching, and made Mrs. Shen, a mother, full of hatred for Shen Yu and Shen Yu’s mother, the two culprits. And this hatred would deepen with the passage of time and the accumulation of years. But there was also nothing to be done about it either.

Just when everyone felt that things could finally be settled, a message appeared on the Internet. “Watching the live broadcast with grandma. Grandma said that Shen Yu’s mother looks very familiar. It seems that she rented our house many years ago. She even left a baby in the rental house. Does this experience sound familiar? Do you suddenly have feeling of fatalism and conspiracy theories? I was so scared that I quickly made up a 38-episode dog-blood idol drama in my mind. Hahaha.”

At 7:30 in the evening, Hong Kong Grand Theater.

In addition to the invited media reporters, industry colleagues and professional film critics, the “Black and White” crew also invited about 100 fans to participate in the premiere. Most of these fans were loyal fans of the male and female leads and important supporting actors.

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

As the most recent and popular behind-the-scenes producer, Tao Mu also saw his fans. In addition, he also saw a few very familiar faces——it turned out to be the several police trainees from the Hong Kong police academy. No, that wasn’t completely accurate, they were no longer police trainees, but official Hong Kong policemen.

Noticing Tao Mu’s gaze, the several Hong Kong policemen waved at Tao Mu excitedly. They had made guest appearances in the film, but their scenes were too short and so they could not attend the premiere as actors. So Director Xu sent an invitation to them so that everyone could watch this movie as just a regular audience.

Taking advantage of the brief moment before the movie began playing, Tao Mu walked over to the audience section where the several policemen sat and greeted everyone. The fans did not expect that Tao Mu was so approachable, and they all screamed excitedly. There were even other people’s fans shouting the names of the other actors. Strongly indicating that they also want this kind of interaction too.

The bigwigs who have already sat down in the front row frequently turned their heads to look. The atmosphere was too lively, and everyone was a bit undecided. On the one hand, they wanted to meet the requests of their fans, but on the other hand, they were a little worried about the order of the theater and their own safety.

Tao Mu said with a smile: “After the movie is over, there will also be a gift thanking activity by the cast and also a mini-game section that will allow fans to interact with the actors. So don’t worry, be good a bit.”

After experiencing the high-intensity training of the troops, Tao Mu, who was nearly 20 years old, had a more upright physique, intimidating aura, and skin that was two shades darker. Every gesture he made commanded attention. So when he suddenly smiled gentlely, it was like an explosion of pheremones, causing the fans to scream excitedly while sitting down obediently.

A potential commotion was invisibly and subtly dealt with. Only then did the bigwigs felt their worries ease.

The several police officers were so excited that heir faces were flushed red. They did not expect Tao Mu to remember them and even came over to talk to them. Everyone of them was both excited and flustered.

“This is the first time I have participated in the premiere of a movie.” Jiang Jingwen, who was in the same dorm as Tao Mu, said excitedly: “It feels very different.”

Tao Mu chuckled, and took the initiative to say, “Long time no see. After the premiere ceremony, let’s hang together.”

The several police officers froze, seemingly not having expected that despite Tao Mu’s status today he would actually extend an invitation to ordinary policemen like them. Jiang Jingwen asked subconsciously: “Still going to a nightclub like back then?”

Tao Mu laughed: “That’s also okay!”

Everyone smiled nostalgically. At this time, some staff members came over to remind Tao Mu that it was time. Tao Mu nodded at everyone and returned to his own seat in the front row.

At eight o’clock in the evening, the movie officially started. The lights in the screening hall were darkened, and the large screen slowly lit up.

As soon as the film opened, it was a scene of the male protagonist played by Yan Sheng connecting with another undercover spy. At that time, Yan Sheng had been undercover among the mafia for ten years already, and had successfully won the trust of the big guys, entering the inner heart of the mafia gang. Using his change in status, Yan Sheng continued to expose the actions of the mafia to the police. But for some reason, the arrest operations were repeatedly being known in advance by the mafia. So the police speculated that someone in the police station was bought by the mafia. While investigating this on their side, the male protagonist was also asked to find a way to dig out that person’s identity.

At the critical moment, the hero suddenly received a notice from his partner. The partner said he had found a clue. But because of negligence, the mafia was beginning to suspect him. Although the partner’s identity was special so they dared not do anything to him. However, he had become tightly monitored by the mafia and had no way to pass on intelligence. So he requested the hero to meet him immediately. The place to meet was the rooftop of a certain building.

The scene changed. With the sound of excited and wild screams, the scene became a sea of heads and colorful glow sticks. At the loud and lively concert, the male lead played by Yan Sheng stood indifferently in the crowd, looking at the watch from time to time. Next to him there was the mafia boss playdd by Zhou Yangqing and several other bodyguards. The bigwig also held a glow stick and said seriously: “I like heavenly king Zhou the most. I listened to his songs while growing up….. “

The camera slowly moved to the other side of the sea of ​​people. Zhou Yuanting, played by Tao Mu, and Yan Yu played by Shen Yu, and several other police trainees dressed in concert t-shirts were squeezing their way through the crowd, happily listening to the concert. During this period, Zhou Yuanting, played by Tao Mu, was particularly restless, flirting with girls everywhere. Causing them to giggle in delight while his own girlfriend stewed in jealousy.

On the other side, the male lead played by Yan Sheng made excuses to leave and rushed to the rooftop of the next building to connect with his partner. However, just when he walked to the door, he heard a loud noise, and the corpse of his partner smashed down from upstairs. The male lead played by Yan Sheng looked at his partner’s wide opened eyes in shock.

At the concert, the mafia boss played by Zhou Yanqing grinned and threw an arm over the shoulders of a confidante, and complained: “How many year already since “XXX” has been filmed. Yet these undercover cops still select rooftops as a meeting spot. Could it be that they all think the mafia has low IQ, and don’t understand the routine?”

He then asked: “Where is Yan Qi? Wasn’t he just tlhere?”

Ah Ze, who was standing beside the big boss, smirked: “Maybe the toilet? It’s not like you don’t know he urinates frequently.”

The big boss shook his head: “At such a young age, yet the kidney is like this.”

At the end of the concert, the bigwigs left the scene in a good mood. And just happened to encounter the police trainees who were also exiting the concert. Unsurprisingly, both sides came face to face. Seeing Yan Yu, whose aura was so weak that he would only target him, Ah Ze smirked and said, “What d’ya want, I pay taxes, y’know. Does Hong Kong law stipulate that the taxpayer is not allowed to attend concerts?”

Seeing that Zhou Yuanting, played by Tao Mu, also raised his fist, another gangster subordinate also sarcastically sneered: “Go ahead. Be careful I don’t find a lawyer to sue you——”

Before the words even fell, Zhou Yuanting had already threw a punch. After a successive of cracks, the gangsters who were guarding the car all stepped out, and raised their guns at thw several police trainees.

Yan Yu frowned and patted Zhou Yuanting’s shoulders. Expressing that he was too impulsive. Zhou Yuanting stared at the group of gangsters and shrugged it off: “What are you doing? Do you want to attack the police?”

“It’s already night, police officer.” The mafia boss watched Zhou Yuanting with a smile: “Don’t be so impulsive. Otherwise, it will only by you who will suffer a loss.”

Zhou Yuanting sneered. Taking advantage of his speed and agility, he snatched a gun and pointed it at the mafia boss’s head: “Future losses can be worried about in the future. If you have the balls then order them to shoot, I am just defending myself. Let’s see whose marksmanship is faster. “

Facing this threat to his life, the mafia boss kept his grace and composure and did not quibble with these young’uns. Leading his own people to enter their cars. Before driving off, the mafia boss once again asked where Yan Qi was?

“I’m over here!” As soon as the car door opened, Yan Qi sat down as if nothing had happened, even holding a box of popcorn in his hand, which he handed to the big boss.

“It’s not watching a movie. What you buy this for?” The big boss pushed the popcorn away disgustedly, suspecting that a certain someone did not even wash his hands after he went to the toilet.

Yan Yu stood expressionlessly on the street, looking at Yan Qi in the car. Zhou Yuanting patted his shoulder curiously: “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” The police trainees returned to the police academy.

“Black and White” was a very standard Hong Kong cop vs. crook film. The following plot separated into two parallel lines. On the one side, Yan Qi tracked the clues independently after his partner died, but made a slow progress because there was no one to cooperate with him. At the same time, the mafia boss also began to become suspicious that there was an undercover spy close to him. Yan Qi had no choice but to play a cat and mouse game with the mafia boss. The plot had many twists and turns, ups and downs. And the two major film kings served up a very exciting and stunning performance.

On the other side, the police department were preparing to send another partner to Yan Qi and wanted to choose from the police academy. After picking around, some senior inspectors chose Yan Yu, because Yan Yu was Yan Qi’s younger brother. And the reason why Yan Qi came under suspicion was because his younger brother was a policeman. Therefore, the police suggested that the brothers cooperate with each other to cover each other. At the same time, it could also dispel the doubts of the mafia. Another part of the inspectors valued ​​Zhou Yuanting. Because Zhou Yuanting’s performance during school was the best. The two views were deadlocked. But both were also opposed by Yan Qi.

Yan Qi felt that the situation was very complicated now, and he indeed needed a partner, but he wanted a mature and stable partner with strong psychological endurance. Rather than a newcomer who was just fresh out of the police academy, who didn’t understand anything, and had an unstable status.

Unfortunately, it was not effective in the end, because Zhou Yuanting looked for death himself. On the eve of graduation, he took his roommates to the nightclub. And because of flirting with the mafia boss’s woman, he caught the attention of Ah Ze and the other gangsters. Old gruges adding to new hatred, the sides broke out into a brawl. In the end he was expelled, so Zhou Yuanting, in order ti save his future prospects, volunatrily agreed to be an undercover agent.

Compared to the two big male leads played by Yan Sheng and Zhou Yanqing, Tao Mu’s scenes in the movie was not much. In just twenty minutes of appearance, and each time he appeared, he had to pit his acting skills against the two film kings. If not careful, he might not even have any sense of presence like a certain actor. Even the audience clearly picked up on the incongruity and be unable to become immersed in the story.

However, Tao Mu’s several appearances gave the audience a satisfying feeling. Because Zhou Yuanting’s image in the beginning was that of a troublemaking, prideful young police trainee, so when Tao Mu played the role, he chose a more expressive acting manner. Tao Mu’s good looks and acting skills were originally online, and Tao Mu also possessed more than ten years of future knowledge, so he was particularly familiar with all the acting cool routines.

Whether it was his indiscrimate flirting with girls when he first appeared in the concert scene, or how he barehandedly snatched a gun in the first conflict scene with the mafia boss, or secretly sneaking off to the nightclub to dance and pick up girls. In every camera shot, h tried his best to up his hotness factor to another level. Originally, those lines that were rather embarrassing and middle school, when spoken from Tao Mu’s mouth, actually made the girls in the audience blush. Some controversial plots that might attract antis, through Tao Mu’s interpretation, became full of youthful energy and flashy coolness. Coupled with hus inexplicable affinity with the audience, Zhou Yuanting in the early stage, played by Tao Mu did not cause much dislike in fans, but became the most handsome role in the minds of many girls.

In particular, in those sveral climax scenes involving the film kings, that kind of head to head, toe to toe, explosive acting skills with crushing momentum had the audience enjoying the film immensely.

And because of this early pavement, Zhou Yuanting going dark in the later stage also seemed to be very natural. In the early stage, he was so handsome and cool that it had everyone screaming, and in the later stage, he was so bad that it had people grit their teeth in hatred. Especially after Ah Ze’s death, Zhou Yuanting, who was greatly affected, slept with the mafia boss’s woman. And also made it difficult for the hero everywhere, destroying the hero’s plan and causing many people to die. He even caused the death of the superior who arranged him to be undercover but also tried his best to protect him——a senior inspector played by Wang Jinsheng. And revealed Yan Qi’s undercover identity to the mafia boss.

Towards the end of the plot, Zhou Yuanting, who had gone completely rotten to the core, even set up Yan Qi. After Yan Yu block the gunshot and died for him, he successfully made it onto the yacht with the mafia boss and smuggled to Southeast Asia. This shattered the three views of the fans and caused them to break out into applause.

There was no other reason for it, because although Zhou Yuanting was bad, he was so handsome and smart. In just twenty minutes of appearance, his sense of presence could be comparable to the two major leads. So Yan Yu, played by Shen Yu, who clearly should be just as an important role as Zhou Yuanting, actually had no sense of presence in the entire movie.

Except for the last scene when he died which caused some sadness.

Therefore, after the movie ended, when the actors got on stage and bowed their thanks, the names that the fans shouted the most was Yan Sheng, Zhou Yanqing and Tao Mu. However, during the media interview, the most popular actually turned out to be Shen Yu.
