Chapter 71(1/2)
As we all know, the film "The Legend of the Sky Burning Red Cliff" will be awarded the Golden Palace Award.
At the beginning, this movie was also filmed for the award. Du Manhuai and Rong Junxian were naturally determined to win this award, which led to the incident of their competition for "the male lead".
Because only the "male protagonist" can be nominated for the "best actor" - commonly known as the "movie hero".
Rong Junxian really wants to win the Golden Palace Award.
Du Manhuai would only think more than he thought.
Because Du Manhuai is originally a person who is very purposeful and needs fame and fortune.
Unlike Rong Junxian's freedom and freedom, Du Manhuai is both prosperous and tormented in the entertainment industry. What makes him unable to escape even if he suffers all his hardships is the temptation of fame and fortune.
For Du Manhuai, the purpose of this stage is to win the Golden Palace Award.
"Actually, an award cannot prove anything..." the assistant said to Du Manhuai, "After all, you have won the award. Artists like you who have awards, fame, and commercial value are really scarce. You are definitely not bad at this award, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Aren't I missing this award?" Du Manhuai sniffed a cigarette, "When I become the Grand Slam actor, it's not too late to tell me this."
The assistant choked.
Du Manhuai glanced at him lightly: "I know what you are thinking. You told me not to compete with Rong Junxian, right?"
"I..." The assistant was stunned, "I don't have that intention."
"This is not what you mean." Du Manhuai pressed the cigarette butt on the crystal ashtray, "It is what Lao Chen means."
The assistant's face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Du Manhuai looked at the crystal ashtray, looked at the gray dust covered with drizzle, sighed, and said, "I know that you have been reporting my movements to Lao Chen."
The assistant's face turned pale: "I... didn't..."
"Don't be afraid." Du Manhuai leaned his back against the wall and looked at the other person with a cold look. "I know, but I understand you. After all, you have a father with cancer, and you need money - although, if you ask me for this money, I won't give it."
The assistant's face became worse and worse.
Du Manhuai still didn't seem to make things difficult for him: "Tell Lao Chen. If he cares about me and loves me, come and talk to me, kneel down and admits his mistakes, and I might be able to forgive him. If he just wants to control me, just tell him to die. I am now a VIP guest in the Qin Mansion, an old lady Qin's beloved disciple, and his status is a little higher than him. He wants to control me like before, that's a dream!"
"Teacher Du..." the assistant spoke embarrassedly.
But Du Manhuai didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and his face suddenly became ferocious. He picked up the crystal ashtray and threw it on the assistant's head. The assistant was not wary and immediately smashed his head. He was shocked and in pain, covered his forehead, and ran out of the room with tears in his eyes.
After a while, the door was knocked.
A maid came in outside the door and said to him: "Teacher Du, the old lady is awake. Go and accompany her to relieve her boredom."
"Okay." Du Manhuai looked particularly gentle and kind, "I'll go see her right away."
Du Manhuai walked outside the old lady's room, but saw a man in a white shirt standing by the door. The man was slender, with a white shirt wrapped around his toned waist, revealing a hint of male temptation.
Du Manhuai looked at him and raised the corner of his mouth: "Is it Bai Weiming? Are you here to see the old lady?"
Bai Weiming smiled at him and said, "Yes."
Du Manhuai nodded and said, "How is Rong Junxian recently?"
"Don't you know very well if he is good?" Bai Weiming said, "He is working in Chen Libing's crew now."
Du Manhuai's face turned cold when he heard the words "Chen Libing": "He and I have separated."
Bai Weiming smiled and said, "Have you been together? Why don't I know?"
Du Manhuai's face became ugly.
He and Chen Libing are a couple, which is something that everyone in the circle knows. But it is something that Chen Libing has never admitted in person. Du Manhuai is like a pitiful person, following Chen Libing for more than ten years after his namelessness, never even gaining a chance to be open and upright.
"Yes." Faced with Bai Weiming's mockery, Du Manhuai gritted his teeth, raised his head stubbornly, and tried to make himself look proud and noble, "I'm not together. So, I don't know what happened to him. I don't know about Rong Junxian's recent situation."
Bai Weiming said: "But I seem to think that you are a little too concerned about Junxian."
Bai Weiming's words sounded the alarm in Du Manhuai's heart: What did he find? Did he take action against me? - It shouldn't be. According to Bai Weiming's style, he would take action against me and would definitely not talk to me like this. He is probably threatening me and warning me now. Humph, he really knows how to protect Rong Junxian.
If Chen Libing had half of him-
Oh, I don't care about it anymore.
Du Manhuai's thoughts were flying, but his face was chaotic: "I had a happy collaboration with him in "Tian Shao Chi Cliff" before, so I have to pay more attention to his news."
"When it comes to "The Legend of Burning Red Cliff"," Bai Weiming said lightly, "Mei Min is also ready to send a list to the Golden Palace Awards. I know that I said that you and Rong Junxian were 'two male protagonists'. But in fact, if you fill in the names of two people in the column, it would be too crowded."
"It's too crowded?" Du Manhuai smiled angrily. He couldn't believe that Bai Weiming could make such a bad excuse.
Bai Weiming said again: "I mean, if you fill in two names, you may reduce your chances of winning."
Du Manhuai felt that he had been swallowing his anger for too long, but now he didn't want to endure this tone and said lightly: "That's the same. Jun Xian is so young, and there are still many opportunities in the future."
Bai Weiming didn't expect Du Manhuai to challenge and laughed, but didn't say anything.
Looking at Bai Weiming's smile, Du Manhuai was a little scared and unnaturally nervous. He thought again, why did he just say that? Will this sentence be beneficial to him when he argues with Bai Weiming?
I've become more and more impatient lately.
——Du Manhuai blamed himself, and then softened his tone again and took the initiative to ask for peace and said: "Of course, as a senior, I hope to give young people more opportunities. I think there is no precedent for two male protagonists to compete for the best actor. The selection of the organizing committee will not be biased because of this. If you are lucky, you will have the best stories of winning the best actors!"
"Oh. That's it." Bai Weiming's tone was very light.
But Du Manhuai's mind became heavier.
Bai Weiming Dynasty Du Manhuai smiled slightly and said, "Then I wish you good luck."
After saying that, Bai Weiming turned around and left.
Du Manhuai looked at Bai Weiming's back and felt more and more uneasy.
He was a little afraid of Bai Weiming, which was not the case before.
At the beginning, the identity differences between Bai Weiming and Du Manhuai and Chen Libing were not that big. Bai Weiming was different from Qin, Qin Xiaoye, Xuan Bufan and others. Bai Weiming was not born with a golden key in his mouth. Bai Weiming was originally the same as Chen Libing and others, and tried every means to squeeze into this circle, eager for wealth, poverty and humbleness, and as humble as grass.
Why is it a difference now?
Du Manhuai didn't have to be afraid of him at all, why did he have to be afraid of him now?
Du Manhuai always dissatisfied and was unwilling to accept it.
Sometimes, he even thought, if he had liked Bai Weiming instead of Chen Libing, would he be as glorious and happy as Rong Junxian?
Back then, he felt that Bai Weiming liked him a little bit - that night, it rained very heavily. The young men began to tease Du Manhuai, saying that the key was lost, and asked Du Manhuai to go to the garden to find the key, but deliberately refused to let him take an umbrella. Du Manhuai had to endure the teasing, almost wet, and it was Bai Weiming who held him an umbrella.
Why did Bai Weiming hold an umbrella for me?
At that time, no one helped me, and even Chen Libing didn't help me.
Only Bai Weiming helped me.
Bai Weiming must have liked me so he would help me, right?
If I hadn't been confused by Chen Libing's sweet words at that time, I was dating Bai Weiming-
Then everything Rong Junxian has now will be mine.
The harm Chen Libing gave me would not exist.
——"Who is outside?"
The old lady's old voice came from the door.
Du Manhuai's thoughts were pulled back by the old lady's call, and he quickly knocked on the door and replied: "Old lady, it's me."
"Is it Xiao Du?" said the old lady, "Come in."
Du Manhuai pushed the door and entered, reached the bedside, and beat the old lady's legs.
He became more and more skilled in serving the old lady, and even the strength to help the old lady beat her legs was extremely accurate.
"You serve the best." The old lady said tilted beside the bed, "I'm afraid I'll be unaccustomed to it."
Du Manhuai said, "I won't leave the old lady. The old lady will chase me, and I won't leave."
"Of course I won't leave, you are a naughty embryo." The old lady sneered.
Du Manhuai was shocked and paused in his hand: "Old lady——"
Before Du Manhuai finished speaking, the old lady's slap came down.
Papa - The old lady is old, but she still slapped her very hard, and Du Manhuai was stunned by the two slaps in the face.
The old lady sneered: "It turns out that the actor is unrighteous. I am so kind to you, but you seduced our boss!"
Du Manhuai then realized that the old lady knew about the ridiculousness of himself and Boss Qin who accidentally drank spring wine that night. Du Manhuai immediately defended: "Old lady, things are not what you thought! That night, we accidentally drank x medicine, so..."
"Drink by mistake?" The old lady smiled angrily, "How could x medicine run into your cup for no reason? Why did you drink x medicine by mistake? Is x medicine so easy to drink x medicine by mistake? Why didn't I drink x medicine by mistake?"
Du Manhuai hurriedly said, "I'm so unfair! Old lady, you will know that the bottle of wine was brought in by Mr. Qin himself, but I didn't take it. How could it be my plan? I vaguely heard Mr. Qin say that the wine was from Mr. Qin, maybe it was used by Mr. Qin and Miss Lu? Take a step back and say, if I really want to seduce, I should seduce the Fourth Master! The Fourth Master is a gay man! Why should I leave far and seek closeness and seduce the boss, the straight man! After he xed me, he was unhappy and disgusted with me. Isn't this a counterproductive effect?"
When the old lady heard Du Manhuai's words, she had some truth. She calmed down and thought about it carefully, and said, "What you said is not without reason. Is it really a misunderstanding?"
"Of course it's a misunderstanding!" Du Manhuai wanted to swear, "I don't think about this happening!"
The old lady thought about it, but said, "Even so, it's an ugly thing. It's not convenient for you to live in my house anymore, so you can leave."
Du Manhuai's face immediately turned the same as the white paint painted on the wall: he had a good backer and fell down in an instant?
"I..." Du Manhuai hesitated and said, "I'm to you..."
