glass fish tank

Zhuang Yao didn't wait for Du Ze at all. He came to have dinner with the management of "Black Rose", the boss of Xinshi Pictures, and left after eating.Mu Ning arrived in a hurry, and saw Zhuang Yao's car driving out of the basement.

Before his car stopped, Mu Ning desperately opened the door and jumped down.

Zhuang Yao was on the phone with someone else.Suddenly, the car stopped abruptly, Zhuang Yao cut off his words halfway, his face was worried, and he asked, "What's going on?"

Xu Ping turned around and seemed a little embarrassed when he apologized: "Someone stopped the car...it was Mu Ning."

Zhuang Yao raised his head and looked forward.Mu Ning was standing in front of the car, holding the front sign of the car, with a look of death.

Zhuang Yao sighed, "Let him get in the car."

Zhuang Yao's car has a lot of space in the rear, he can do whatever he wants.Mu Ning seldom rides in his car, and occasionally comes to do some unspeakable things.

But now, he was sitting upright beside Zhuang Yao, but he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.The latter poured a glass of champagne and put it in his hand, and closed the front display screen and partition.

"I'll give you three and ten minutes." Zhuang Yao said, "I still have something to do."

"I don't drink, thank you." Mu Ning said, "If I called you, I probably wouldn't answer it. I had no choice but to stop the car. I'm sorry."

"Go ahead."

"It's still... still Wu Chao's business."

"You have only known each other for more than half a month." Zhuang Yao's voice was very cold, with no emotion or anger.

"But he is my friend." Mu Ning said, "He is very nice. That's why you always bully him."

Zhuang Yao couldn't help laughing: "By us?"

Mu Ning gritted his teeth and said, "It's been more than two weeks since the machine was switched on, and he was suddenly replaced. Isn't this bullying? It's clear that he is more suitable for this role than Bai Xiaotan."

"Tell me, do you really think of Wu Chao as a friend, or are you just obsessed with the concept of 'making friends with others'."

Mu Ning answered irrelevantly: "Not everyone is like you, who cares about gains and losses before doing anything."

Zhuang Yao was silent for a while, and said: "There is no room for change in this matter, don't think about it."

Mu Ning argued hard: "But, but this is not fair."

"Fair?" Zhuang Yao seemed to have heard some big joke, and laughed, "What qualifications do you have to talk about fairness with me? Mu Ning, didn't you come here too?"

"...Me?" At that moment, Mu Ning was enlightened.

Zhuang Yao knew him too well.

Knowing the hidden danger buried in his heart all the time, something that he didn't even realize, Zhuang Yao pointed it out sharply.

What makes Mu Ning so resentful and angry right now, this disgusting unspoken rule of heroism in his heart, is exactly the oxygen and soil that he used to live on.

He used to be Bai Xiaotan, so how many Wu Chaos had he squeezed through?

Zhuang Yao is right.

He is indeed not qualified, what's more, he is probably the least qualified person in this circle to hold Wu Chao's grievances.

The car was so quiet that the sound of air-conditioning swirling on the roof could be heard.After a long time, Mu Ning was about to get out of the car: "Sorry, Mr. Zhuang. I came here by mistake today."

"The decision not to renew the contract, have you really thought it through?" The man looked down at the back of his hand, not making any eye contact with Mu Ning: "If you have indeed considered it, but you still encounter everything Come to me. What the hell are you expecting?"

Mu Ning's hand was frozen by the car door.

Yeah, what was he expecting?I'm afraid I'm looking forward to the little old feelings that haven't been completely wiped out in the past few years.I hope that this man may miss him to some extent, I hope that I have loved him without self in the past ten years, and I have left something special for him, more or less...

Zhuang Yao opened the partition between the front and back, and said to Mu Ning in a cold tone: "You made the decision to leave Juheng, and you must have the courage to carry it out to the end. I am no longer your boss, nor yours. Anyone, later—”

Zhuang Yao paused: "Unless you are dying, otherwise, don't contact me again."

Mu Ning opened the door and got out of the car, turned his back to Zhuang Yao and said, "I understand. I wasted your time."

"Let's go." Zhuang Yao said to Xu Ping.

The car drove towards the boulevard, leaving the Lido Hotel and the frail figure far behind.Xu Ping looked in the rearview mirror and carefully scrutinized the man's expressionless and stern facial features.He has been with Zhuang Yao for more than ten years, and he knows the inside story, so he can talk to Zhuang Yao.

"Mr. Zhuang, just now... Did you speak too seriously?"

Zhuang Yao just stared at the glass of champagne shaking with the car body, without answering.

Mu Ning returned to the set in a daze, and saw Chen Xuehua pulling her face, and two assistants squatting on the ground with fans to drive away mosquitoes on her white legs.The assistant director grabbed Mu Ning's arm and took it to the set: "Where have you been? Chen Xuehua has been waiting for you for half an hour! Let me tell you, if she loses her temper, the whole crew will suffer."

"I'm sorry." Mu Ning quickly apologized, and while beckoning the makeup artist to come over and put on a quick makeup on himself, he whispered to the assistant director, "I'll be right there."

A group of people took pictures for two hours, and the lighting failed.Chen Xuehua went back to the hotel first, Chen Xuehua's stand-in went to shoot Group B, and Mu Ning was done.

When the intense and bright spotlight in the center of the stage suddenly dims, no one is the center in this world.

Mu Ning had tried drama, but at that time his career was frustrated, and his love life was even more bumpy.Obviously, he had been rehearsing for several months, but when he actually walked up to the red curtain of the theater to rehearse, the lights on the stage made him feel scared, and he retreated.Temporary abandonment, lost a lot of money.

Even though he once enjoyed the brilliance of the crowd, and chased after the brilliance under the spotlight, at that time, there was nothing that frightened him more than focusing.

Now, he stands in the center of the crew.

Everyone around me is busy.Those who removed the set, those who moved the equipment, the new recorder had to finish the last word with a flashlight in his mouth, the makeup artist's eyeshadow palette fell to the ground and shattered, and he just squatted down to sweep the remaining powder, and then left.

This place is no longer the magnificent fish tank that Zhuang Yao built for him.There, someone feeds at a fixed point every day, and he only needs to roam in the water beautifully.Everyone admires him only because Zhuang Yao stands behind him.

——And here, where he was standing, where people came and went, was the real ocean.Like Wu Chao, even if he pays far more than others, he may be ruthlessly eliminated.Not to mention such a passive sabotage, arrogant and negligent person?

He needs competition.He needs that bit of wildness in competition more than anyone.

He used to be an actor.

He was 20 years old that year, with fame and wealth, and stars holding the moon.He is the darling of the media and a rising star in the film industry.People met him on various occasions, always greeted him with a smile, and chatted endlessly around him.

Be it the media or the audience, everyone said he was a genius.They said that he could act with his eyes, that he had a face that had been kissed by heaven, that he had a beautiful nature, and that he took the best actor as a reward from heaven.

Zhuang Yao loves him too.

Zhuang Yao is obsessed with his face, his ability to tell stories with his looks, his gentle love behind, and his occasional disobedience.

They faced each other day and night, and Zhuang Yao was obedient, gentle and accommodating to him.

The problem is, it all happens so quickly and effortlessly.

He didn't know that those people who once praised him and made him would turn around and attack him one day, criticizing him with words and pens.Over the past few years, he has not handed over the answers that exceeded people's expectations.Therefore, he is no longer the proud son of heaven.

He became a "loser", a "fallen star", and "Muning who disappointed the film and television industry".

What exactly went wrong?

Amy Zhao packed up her things and searched all over for Mu Ning, but when she turned her head, she found him standing alone in the dark, his figure looked thin and pitiful.

"Boss." Amy Zhao walked to him and shouted softly, "Don't think about it."

"I seem to..." Mu Ning opened his lips slightly, as if he was talking to himself: "I seem to understand a little bit."

"What?" Amy Zhao didn't hear clearly.

Mu Ning turned around, sweeping away the gloom and confusion just now.His tone was lighter, as if he were greatly relieved.

"Black Rose" was obviously picked up by him in order to act well and find a feeling.But he brought those bad habits from the past along with him.

It's not too late to wake up now, he still has time.

Mu Ning didn't repeat what he said just now, but said with a smile: "Let's go, Amy, let's go back to the hotel. There are still many things to do."
