Throughout the day, Mu Ning quietly looked at Wu Chaoyue.I didn't know what was going on in the play, and memorized the lines without soul for a day with the script.

Don't underestimate this week.During this week, he and Wu Chao met on the set every day, shared rooms with each other after the show, and chatted for hours after midnight snacks.The relationship has developed by leaps and bounds, and they are called brothers and sisters.Wu Chao looks dull and honest, but he is actually clear about the dirty things in the entertainment industry.But he has a good attitude and is happy every day.

For the best ten years of Mu Ning's life, all of them were detained at Zhuang Yao's place.His connection with this society, except for the emoticons on Weibo, is almost nonexistent.Wu Chao is about the same age as him, but he has spent ten years in the entertainment industry. He has learned a lot and gossips a lot, which often makes Mu Ning laugh out loud.

Wu Chao noticed Mu Ning's eyes, strolled over and sat beside him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Ning didn't answer, his eyes moved down without a trace.The script Wu Chao was holding in his hand was so full of notes that it was densely packed with notes.

The male second has a lot of roles.It took Wu Chao ten years of playing tricks to get such a role with a sense of presence.Maybe this will be a turning point in his career?When Mu Ning thought of the words from the executive director, he couldn't bear it any more.

Mu Ning suddenly stood up from his chair, which startled Wu Chao.

"Where are you going? The filming will start soon."

"I'll go make a call."

Mu Ning went far away and took out his mobile phone in a deserted place.He called up the interface of the dial pad, and Zhuang Yao's phone number was still the shortcut key "1".

After calling several times, no one answered.

"Zhuang..." Mu Ning blurted out that he wanted to call him by name, stopped quickly, and changed his words: "...Mr."

"what's up?"

"I, I heard that you are going to replace the male lead of "Black Rose". However, our current male lead is really suitable. He has good acting skills and graduated from a major. We are very happy to cooperate..."

Before Mu Ning finished speaking, he was interrupted by the indifferent voice on the other end of the phone: "You made so many calls in a hurry just to tell me this?"

Mu Ning asked in confusion: "Otherwise, what else can I tell you?"

Zhuang Yao hung up the phone without saying a word.

Mu Ning held the phone still, the screen had already dimmed.

Bai Xiaotan, Bai Xiaotan.

This person is probably... Mu Ning racked his brains to think back, it seems that he was the person who appeared beside Zhuang Yao more than a year ago.When he heard this name, he realized that last April, when he passed out due to lack of sleep and went to the emergency room, he was the person who went to Australia with Zhuang Yao for vacation.

After returning to China, Bai Xiaotan met Mu Ning once.Zhuang Yao wasn't there at the time, Bai Xiaotan found Mu Ning's whereabouts from nowhere, and went straight to kill him without even saying hello.

"I heard that you are the only one in the company who dares to lose your temper with Mr. Zhuang." Bai Xiaotan sat down opposite him, and the candles on the table flickered.

The boy's eyes, which combined purity and style, were full of curiosity.

Mu Ning ate with a blank expression, not answering his words.

Bai Xiaotan said to himself, his eyes were looking at Mu Ning's calm face all the time: "But the person he likes the most is not you, how strange."

"He doesn't like me." Mu Ning annoyed him so much that he replied firmly, "I just happen to be by his side the longest."

Bai Xiaotan shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe. But..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Ning suddenly poked a sharp fork in front of Bai Xiaotan's eyes, the action was lightning fast, but stopped firmly when he was still an inch away from his eyeballs.The latter dodged back in fright, if it wasn't for his sharp eyesight and hands that quickly grabbed the table, he would have almost fallen to the ground, making a fool of himself.

"What exactly do you want to ask?" Seeing Bai Xiaotan's embarrassment, Mu Ning asked, "If you have nothing else to do, can I trouble you to get out of my sight? This meal is quite expensive, and I haven't eaten yet How many bites?"

After finishing speaking, Mu Ning straightened his back, trying his best to make himself appear not to have the resignation and pity that an old love should have.

Of course he knew that Zhuang Yao liked the boy in front of him better—younger, more obedient, sweeter, and he would never break into his office to make trouble, and everyone in the city would know about it.

But he didn't want to admit in front of anyone that his love had long since failed.

"I just wanted to meet you." Bai Xiaotan stood up, looking down at this man with his chin raised high, no matter how embarrassed he was, he refused to admit defeat.

He didn't dare to confront Zhuang Yao, but Mu Ning did.He had never seen Zhuang Yao angry, but every time Zhuang Yao went to Mu Ning, even if he went there in a happy mood, in all likelihood, he would come back angrily at the end.Bai Xiaotan knows that he is Zhuang Yao's gentle town, but what he wants is not just to be a gentle town.

He wanted to be the one who could make Zhuang Yao, who had always been handsome, reveal his hysterical side.

He loves Zhuang Yao, and he doesn't think he is any worse than Mu Ning.

Of course it wasn't Zhuang Yao who asked Bai Xiaotan to help him.Mu Ning knows well that Zhuang Yao has a strong desire to control, and if the people around him don't listen to him, life will not be easy, but this Bai Xiaotan is very out of line.

Mu Ning remembered that before he was discharged from the hospital, Zhuang Yao hurried back from Australia, and indeed visited the hospital.Thinking about it this way, is there still some old love?

If Mu Ning is asked to pick one thing he is best at, the answer he gives will never be acting, let alone how many different postures and positions he can change to please Zhuang Yao, but self-deception.

Zhuang Yao clearly has no interest in him anymore, most of the things they talked about when they met were boring things at work, and sex/love was also rigid like a routine.There are few moments of warmth—at least, when Zhuang Yao became affectionate and took him to other places to relax, he quarreled again within two days, broke up unhappy, and didn't even buy the same plane for the return trip.

Mu Ning withdrew from the memory and shook his head.Try to get rid of the unhappy things.He put the phone back in his pocket and turned back to the set.

After two days, it stopped raining at night, and the crew began to rehearse the night scene.Mu Ning and Wu Chao had just had dinner in their room when someone knocked on the door suddenly.Amy Zhao ran to open the door, but it was Du Ze who came.

"Director Du?" Wu Chao put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter?"

Du Ze walked in with an apologetic expression: "This...Xiao Wu. Your role may have to be changed."

Wu Chao has seen this kind of thing a lot. As soon as Du Ze's expression and tone came out, he understood seven or eight points immediately.

Mu Ning, however, pretended to be stupid and was stunned: "Director Du, I think Wu Chao's role as the leading actor is fine, what should be changed?"

"It's not about changing the roles, it's about changing the actors." Du Ze rubbed his hands together, and with a wink, Amy Zhao, who was on the side, poured him a glass of water to drink.

"Xiao Wu, the role of He Xu was originally decided to be Bai Xiaotan. He was not available at the time, so you came on top, right." Du Ze's tone was slow but firm.Apparently the higher-ups have already discussed it, and now it's time to issue an ultimatum: "Now Bai Xiaotan's schedule is free. Although he is not particularly popular, his previous roles are quite topical and have more fans. Little Wu, you..."

Wu Chao was very calm, maintaining his original appearance, with no trace of displeasure on his expression. "I understand, it's just...my scene has been filming for almost two weeks."

The two weeks of scenes can no longer be described as less.Mu Ning summed it up in his mind, there were almost dozens of plays in the two weeks, and now he suddenly said to change roles, not to mention Wu Chao, but also to cheat other related actors too much.

"Don't worry about this, some of the scenes you have already filmed will be deleted. There is no way to delete them. Bai Xiaotan will fill them up immediately after joining the group. The leading actors have already confirmed that there is no problem..."

As soon as Du Ze finished speaking, he heard Mu Ning's sudden attack.

"I'm also the starring role, but I didn't agree." Mu Ning said loudly: "The role of He Xu is my deputy team leader, and I have the most scenes with Wu Chao in the whole team. If we delete the scenes, it will also affect my performance." Besides, the reshoots with Bai Xiaotan, wouldn't my workload increase a lot? If we really want to change the male lead, I... I'll apply for a raise."

Mu Ning's character is easy to offend people, but he has always been devoted to his friends without reservation.

Wu Chao looked at him gratefully.

"Muning, can't you stop making jokes about Qiao?" Du Ze was very impatient, and began to speak nonchalantly, "Now that you are no longer in Juheng, you still think Xiaozhuang will always be there for you."

How old is Du Zexu's elder Zhuang Yao? At the dinner two days ago, Zhuang Yao respected him as an elder and asked him not to call him Mr. Zhuang.He added a small character, and Zhuang Yao recognized it.

Now they are still building a relationship in front of Mu Ning.

Mu Ning didn't pay attention to the word "President Xiaozhuang".He just thought that Wu Chao was his friend, and now that he was being bullied, he couldn't stand by and watch.

In the current situation, his slender arms really can't beat Du Ze's thighs, not to mention that there are producer Fang and Zhuang Yao behind Du Ze.

Not too long after self-hypnosis, he wanted to call Zhuang Yao again.What if this guy is thinking about some old love?Mu Ning was thinking, and was about to take out his phone.I also heard Du Ze say to Wu Chao: "Xiao Wu, you don't have to leave the group. The group really feels sorry for you when you change roles suddenly. It's just right, look, the male fourth actor broke his foot when he was filming an action scene two days ago. .The filming is over and you can’t come back, you can play his role.”

Mu Ning was completely blown away, and he said indignantly: "Director Du, this is too bullying! People like Bai Xiaotan, after joining the group for three days, ask for leave. There are a total of 270 scenes, and the stand-in can shoot [-] scenes for him. Wu Chao is much better than him!"

Du Ze couldn't bear it any longer, turned his head and shouted at him, "Muning, what's the matter with you here!"

Mu Ning wanted to argue with Du Ze again, but Wu Chao stopped him with an arm: "Muning, stop talking!"

"But……"

"Director Du, I'll follow the arrangement in the group." Wu Chao said, "Muning's words are inappropriate, so I apologize for him."

Wu Chao is too honest!They were all bullied like this, and they even said "listen to the arrangement in the group"?

Hearing what he said, Du Ze smiled with satisfaction, and patted Wu Chao on the shoulder: "Young man, you are still on the right track."

"Do you have anything else to do?" Wu Chao asked.

"It's all right. I'll take it with you. I'll go to the Lido Hotel to have a meal with Mr. Zhuang later." When Du Ze mentioned the word Mr. Zhuang, he was always beaming.It seems to be in a big relationship.

"Zhuang Yao is in Lido?" Mu Ning listened attentively, pursed his lips, turned his head and whispered to Amy, "Amy, go and drive here."
