“Ring, ring, ring…”
The phone rang tirelessly from his pocket. It was taken out by a hand and accidentally answered the call.
A concerned voice came from the other end: “Second brother, parents and eldest brother are waiting for you to come home for dinner. Why haven’t you come back yet?”
Ning Luo’s face collapsed.
Your second brother is dead.
Burn paper if there is something. Small things call back the soul; big things dig the grave.
He stared at the three words “Ning Xibai” on the screen of his mobile phone and didn’t want to accept the fact that he was in a book.
He finally won the award for Best Supporting Actor, and before he could warm it up in his hands or even finish the award speech, he was knocked unconscious by the chandelier above his head.
When he opened his eyes again, it was an unfamiliar hotel bathroom.
This is not over yet. What’s more unfortunate is that he actually transmigrated into a popular “heartthrob” novel.
Recalling the mosaic plot in the novel that lasted two-thirds of the length, which constantly explored the limits of the human body by conquering the entertainment industry with the body, Ning Luo fell into a deathly silence.
This kind of Haitang literature [mfn]1In Chinese internet slang and niche circles, it’s often used to describe a type of over-the-top, melodramatic, and sometimes erotic romance fiction, usually involving intense romantic or physical relationships.[/mfn] is still too advanced for him.
And the owner of his body is the cannon fodder with the same name and surname in the novel,a little black and red star.At the same time, he was the real young master abandoned by the Ning family.
After being found, he became the second young master of the Ning family according to the order of seniority. He was jealous of the fake third young master, Ning Xibai, and made trouble everywhere.
The original body and Ning Xibai’s status in the entertainment industry are very different. Ning Xibai swept the entire entertainment industry with his aura of being a heartthrob. In the end, with the help of the attackers, he won the best actor and inherited the Ning family. He had a successful love and career.
But the original body’s reputation was ruined. After retiring from the circle and going abroad, he was still dragged out from time to time to be stepped on, highlighting how good the protagonist’s life was. In the end, he was accidentally involved in a wooden warehouse battle and died on the spot.
A perfect control group.
Ning Luo clenched his fists and crawled in the dark.
Crazy! Completely crazy!
Ning Xibai saw that he didn’t speak and continued, “Second brother, you are not still angry about the director misunderstanding you, right? I really didn’t expect this. I just felt that I couldn’t act, so I might as well give it to you. It was not intentional. Second brother, don’t take it to heart.”
Why did he say this with tea?
Ning Luo flipped through his memories and found that the innocent little white flower in the original book didn’t seem to be innocent.
Ning Xibai looks similar to the original body and is often compared in the circle. Fans are naturally hostile to each other, and they mock each other for no reason. A few days ago, they stirred up a hornet’s nest because it was rumored that a drama scheduled by Ning Xibai had a temporary replacement, and Ning Luo was changed to play the second male lead.
Hearing this, Ning Xibai’s fans wanted to crawl along the Internet to tear Ning Luo apart, scolding him for grabbing resources, using backdoors, and selling himself to get promoted shamelessly. In view of Ning Luo’s countless negative materials and many criminal records, netizens also feel sorry for Ning Xibai, and they would step on Ning Luo when they pass by.
God knows that the resources for this second male lead were given by Ning Xibai on his own initiative, with the reason being, “My schedule is too full recently, and I really can’t act in this drama. It’s better to let my second brother come than to give it to others. We are all family.”
What fucking family.
Translated, it means: I give you what I don’t want.
But the original body believed it, thinking that he was giving in and trying to please himself, the real young master, and foolishly took on this resource.
Ning Xibai brought up this matter on purpose.
His finger was hovering on the speakerphone, waiting for Ning Luo to start cursing and “accidentally” broadcast it to Ning’s parents and eldest brother.
Who made this person, who was inferior to him in everything, suddenly suppress him, turning him from the youngest son of the Ning family into the undeserved “Third Young Master,” becoming the topic of conversation among friends after dinner, and taking away everything from him.
How could Ning Xibai be willing to accept this?
Ning Luo opened his mouth: “I’m not angry.”
Ning Xibai: “Second brother, don’t… huh?”
How is this different from what I imagined? The development of the situation was unexpected, but the finger had already pressed the speakerphone button one step faster.
So at the dinner table, Ning’s parents and Ning Yang, the eldest brother of the Ning family, heard Ning Luo’s shocking speech with ups and downs.
“I know you want to give me better resources. I understand your intentions and why you use this method to make everyone misunderstand. In the final analysis, we have become brothers, so you dare not express your love for me like before and choose to protect me silently.”
“I know you are in pain now. In order to get me, you even climbed onto my bed to seduce me, saying that it doesn’t matter how I play with you. But I said long ago that there is no possibility for us.”
“Xiaobai,” Ning Luo called out with true feelings. There was a stray dog named Xiaobai downstairs of his house. His voice was sad, with three parts of sadness, five parts of loneliness, and two parts of loss. “Forget me; don’t love too much.”
Ning family members: ???
Ning Xibai: ???
What nonsense is he talking about?!
Ning Xibai spoke faster: “Second brother, are you drunk and playing—hello? Hello?!”
The other end hung up the phone neatly. Ning Xibai was left alone to face the three pairs of shocked and unbelievable eyes on the dining table.
Ning’s father dropped his chopsticks in shock: “What’s going on? Third child, explain it clearly!”
The servants of the Ning family also pricked up their ears.
The adopted son who was taken away by mistake actually had such thoughts about his nominal brother?
Brotherly incest? Orthopedic taboos? Too dramatic!
Ning Xibai had no way to defend himself against Ning’s father’s dark face and hated Ning Luo, who suddenly went crazy.
Who the hell likes him!
Narcissist!
–
Ning Luo, who hung up the phone in seconds, was refreshed.It was also Ning Xibai’s bad luck that he ran into him when he was in a bad mood.
He was created by the plot,so was he not allowed to create the original protagonist?
When you go out, you give yourself an identity. Today, I will play the role of a beautiful man who is madly courted by the perverted protagonist.
“Hey, no one understands me at all. You only love my outer skin.” Ning Luo was addicted to acting, sighed, and admired his face in the mirror for a moment.
Fortunately, the face is still original. Ning Luo has a first love face, with a delicate face and beautiful and clear features. There is a small mole at the end of the slightly upturned eye, which is tucked into the folds of the eyelids when raising the eyes.
Ning Luo smiled at the mirror, revealing a small dimple on the side of his cheek, sweet, with a youthful softness in his eyes.
When the pressure is great, it is time to release it. Look, isn’t he a normal person again? Looking at the three words “Ning Xibai” on the mobile phone note, Ning Luo smacked his lips and changed the note.
[The male bodhisattva who brushes the edge]
This is just right. It fits the central theme of Haitang literature very well.
“I can’t tell; you owe a lot of favors. Who is Xiaobai?”
The sudden voice startled him, and he looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman with a high ponytail standing outside the door with her arms folded.
It was the female lead of the crew, Sun Shaoyi. Seeing him looking at her, she glanced at Ning Luo up and down and started to mock, “I thought you fell in and couldn’t be fished out, you went to the toilet and didn’t come back for a long time.”
Ning Luo took a breath and completely ignored the second half of her sentence, only hearing “Xiao Bai.”
When did this person come? Did you hear everything!
Recalling his nonsense just now, Ning Luo tapped his toes on the ground.
Enough, his body is uncomfortable.
He was crazy because of the little green tea, but he didn’t want to let acquaintances know, especially those who will be with him in the crew for two or three months in the future!
[Ahhhhhh, what’s the difference between this and pooping in public! My image! ]
Sun Shaoyi’s head hurt because of the high-decibel scream. She wanted to shout, Shut up, but suddenly realized something and slowly opened her eyes.
Wait, Ning Luo didn’t open his mouth just now?
Ning Luo looked at her frowning and indescribable face, his eyelashes trembled, and his fingertips tightened his cuffs, trying to change the subject:”Um… Sister Shaoyi, why are you here?”
[Why are you looking at me like this? Why are you still looking? Don’t look! My smile can’t last another second! I ate fried bananas while wearing Gucci and fried bananas while wearing Gucci, because banana peels are the fruit of the love between Sun Wukong and Tang Zang, and the victory of the tsundere x cold younger top pairing. But Seagulls can’t stand on the table and slap people, I know that this will lead to Bali being invaded by kangaroos and make me the big boss of Gotham City! 】[mfn](2)There is no meaning he is spouting nonsense while being embarrassed .[/mfn]
Ning Luo’s inner barrage roared, and Sun Shaoyi’s expression also surged.She saw clearly that Ning Luo just didn’t open his mouth!
“Ning Luo, did you just… say something?”
“I did,” Ning Luo felt that her reaction was strange and blinked, “I said, why are you here?”
This is the entrance to the men’s restroom right? She was blocking the way, and the men behind her didn’t dare to come in even if they were holding their urine.
“It’s not this sentence… Forget it.” Sun Shaoyi thought this was too weird; maybe she was too tired recently and had hallucinations.
Even if Ning Luo opened his mouth, he couldn’t say such crazy words. He was the best at pretending, especially in front of fans, with a pure and shy look.
It must be an illusion.
Go back and see a doctor.
She replied to Ning Luo: “Of course I came to see you. Don’t forget that we are here to have dinner with investors, not to let you get constipated in the toilet. Go back quickly.”
She didn’t like this actor, who was airdropped in without any talent and had a bad temper, but she hated the smoky air in the private room even more, so she came to call him.
Ning Luo saw her glance at the men standing behind her and walk away with her high heels and hurried to catch up.
[You have a strong psychological quality. For a moment, I thought it wasn’t you who blocked the door of the men’s toilet]
[My sister’s coldness is minus eight degrees; my sister’s confidence is brilliant!]
Ning Luo looked up and saw Sun Shaoyi’s back staggering.
[How can you not even control a pair of high heels? ]
The sound of high heels stepping on the ground became louder, as if wanting to poke a hole with the heels.
I’ll see a doctor when I get back!
–
Ning Luo pushed open the door of the private room and was choked by the smoke, coughing repeatedly.
Everyone in the private room looked over.
Director Wang Lin was the first to react: “Are you here? Come in.”
His attitude was not very warm.
As a character who was forced in through the backdoor, Wang Lin was very annoyed with Ning Luo’s existence and even had some complaints about Ning Xibai.
If it weren’t for Mr. Li’s intention to bring him along this time, Wang Lin wouldn’t have wanted him to come at all.
Li Zhigang’s eyes lit up when he first saw Ning Luo. Sure enough, they looked alike, and he looked more delicate than Ning Xibai.
Ning Xibai was someone from the Ning family he couldn’t afford to play with him, so it was okay to find a replacement. This kind of little star was the easiest to handle.
Li Zhigang thought about it, waved to Ning Luo, and smiled kindly: “Why did Xiao Luo take so long? Come, sit over here.”
Ning Luo’s radar was ringing. He had seen this kind of obscure look many times, and they were all people with brains that went through their pants. Before he could think of how to refuse, he was dragged to the other side by Sun Shaoyi.
Sun Shaoyi lectured him coldly: “Do you think you can sit next to Mr. Li?”
Li Zhigang was dissatisfied: “Shaoyi, what do you mean?”
Sun Shaoyi’s tone was a little hard: “Mr. Li, please forgive me. He has a bad temper and doesn’t think before he speaks. I’m afraid of offending Mr. Li.”
Li Zhigang felt that he was insulted and snorted. Wang Lin saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurried to smooth things over.
After several toasts, Li Zhigang’s face was slightly relieved: “Director Wang, I know that your crew is in urgent need of funds. If it were someone else, I would never invest, but you were recommended by Lao Zhang. I have also read the project book, and it is good.”
Wang Lin smiled: “It is my honor to be favored by Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang.”
Li Zhigang: “I originally told you to sign the contract tomorrow, but I have to fly back tomorrow for something. Why don’t we sign the contract here to save trouble.”
This is too sudden. Wang Lin hesitated: “This… Mr. Li, are you in such a hurry?”
“I am a straightforward person; I don’t beat around the bush.” Li Zhigang signaled the secretary to give the contract to Wang Lin. “We drafted the contract when we met last time, Director Wang; take a look.”
Wang Lin took the contract.The contract was indeed the last time the two sides discussed it. The lawyers had reviewed it, and the terms had been finalized. There was no problem.
It was just that there was supposed to be a formal signing ceremony tomorrow. It would be too hasty to sign now. Li Zhigang didn’t tell him in advance.
“Director Wang doesn’t want to sign now? I’m wrong about this, but there is indeed a small problem that needs to be dealt with tomorrow. If it doesn’t work, we’ll do it next time. Wait until I’m done with it.” Li Zhigang drank a sip of wine calmly, and his eyes fell on Ning Luo again. I don’t know what he was thinking.
Wang Lin got anxious when he heard this.
Li Zhigang could wait, but he couldn’t.
After the matter was dealt with? Then when would he have to wait? Thinking of the tight funds of the crew, Wang Lin wavered and touched the pen. Those who gave money didn’t hesitate, so why should he hesitate as a collector? He lowered his head and naturally ignored the gleam in Li Zhigang’s eyes.
Ning Luo sat down and ate and drank beside him as a transparent person. Seeing that the two of them were in a stalemate, he glanced at Wang Lin.
His superior vision of 5.0 allowed him to see the signature on the contract clearly.
Li Zhigang.
This name is so damn familiar.
The content of the original book he just received immediately emerged.
Wang Lin was about to sign his name to reach a cooperation agreement when he suddenly heard Ning Luo’s sharp explosion.
[Ahhhhh, why are you sign the contract without back-checking! Director Wang, are you in good mental condition? This investor is a habitual money launderer!]
Wang Lin paused: “… Ning Luo, what are you talking about?”
This voice was like an explosion in his ears, blowing up a hurricane in his head.
And what did he mean by that sentence?
What about money laundering?
Ning Luo: “Ah? I didn’t say anything, Director Wang.”
Wang Lin looked around; everyone looked at him in confusion, only Sun Shaoyi had a weird look on her face.
Did he hear it wrong?
How is it possible?
He picked up the pen again, but his eyes were still on Ning Luo’s face.
Ning Luo didn’t look at him, but at the pen.
[If this crew is gone, I will be dead too, hehe. If you want to die, don’t drag others down with you. I’m going to find the next employer!]
“Ning Luo!” Wang Lin’s materialistic view collapsed instantly, and he interrupted Ning Luo’s words in a hurry, “What have you done to me!”
Ning Luo didn’t open his mouth!
He seemed to have heard Ning Luo’s inner voice! How could there be such absurd and bizarre things in the world?!
“……Ah?” Ning Luo blinked slowly.
[You said it as if I had slept with you. Uncle, you are not even on my hunting list. How come you are so excited? (Takes off pants) (Can’t move) (Lights a cigarette)]
Sun Shaoyi: “!!!”
Wang Lin: “……?”
He stared at Ning Luo, who looked innocent.
The other party didn’t understand and smiled at him tentatively. The smile was shy, and the rosy mouth was shiny, and there were dimples on the cheeks.
Damn! What the hell!
