Chapter 21

When Zhuang Yao arranged for his subordinates to investigate, he knew it clearly.Even if Mu Ning's statement is true, he can only suffer from being dumb.The studio was on the road, so it must have been cleaned up long ago without leaving any traces.

Accidents on set are not uncommon.Unlike the drafts that fly all over the sky after an actor is injured, unknown extras or doubles are injured, and they always lose money quietly.

When Anna reported to him before Mu Ning made his decision, he absolutely disagreed.

"With his body, what movements can he do?" Zhuang Yao didn't know that Cheng Xiangjian was doing special training for Mu Ning at this time, and he just thought it was ridiculous.Mu Ning was whimsical, and Anna also went crazy.

"He was very persistent. I'm at a loss for words anyway." Anna said, "Why don't you tell him yourself?"

Zhuang Yao was silent, and Anna went on to say, "It's hard for me to do what you do."

Anna felt that the job of double agent was too uncomfortable, and she had to make up stories every day.At this time, Mr. Zhuang, her immediate superior, couldn't help but feel resentment: "You were the one who said you would release her, but you are also the one who disagreed and worried about that."

Anna and Zhuang Yao have a good personal relationship, and she is Mu Ning's friend, so Zhuang Yao is always courteous to her.Anna's words hit the nail on the head, and Zhuang Yao often left her speechless and had no choice but to obey her.

As for the injury this time, if Mu Ning himself hadn't become suspicious, Zhuang Yao would not have thought about Bai Xiaotan.

Bai Xiaotan has been by his side for two years and has always been very obedient.Young children have their own minds, and some small movements are normal.As long as it doesn't cross the line, he has always been too lazy to care.

Zhuang Yao's replacements are not frequent, and they are usually selected. Please go for an inspection.Check it clean, and send it to the pillow.Caring, just stay by your side for a while.Bai Xiaotan is just a bit smarter, he uses a reassuring bed partner.For Munning, it is a completely different matter.

If Bai Xiaotan wanted to reap career benefits from him, he would not dare to go against his wishes. ——not to mention that he had warned like that.

After Zhuang Yao hung up the phone, he was about to leave the hospital, and he still had work at hand.Today, a group of people were left there on the board of directors, and he hasn't dealt with it yet.

But thinking of Mu Ning holding his hand just now, Zhuang Yao's heart softened again.There was no one in the corridor, and Wu Chao and Zhao Aimi were not there either.

With such injuries all over his body, how scared he must be to be alone in the hospital.

Zhuang Yao sighed, and when he was about to return to the ward, he heard a voice of inquiry from the nurse's station not far away: "Miss Nurse, may I ask which ward Mu Ning is in?"

Zhuang Yao followed the sound and looked, it was Lin Jiayang.

Lin Jiayang looked in the direction the nurse pointed and saw Zhuang Yao too.

The young man strode over, called "Mr. Zhuang" politely, and looked squarely into Zhuang Yao's dark eyes.

The man's aura was too strong, Lin Jiayang didn't dare to act easily.Ask a little cautiously: "Aren't you going in?"

Zhuang Yao was afraid that he and Mu Ning would quarrel again.I always heard Anna say that Lin Jiayang often made Mu Ning laugh out loud, maybe Mu Ning would be happier when he came.

"I won't go in." Zhuang Yao said.

When the door of the ward was pushed open again, Lin Jiayang carefully caught the momentary loss in Mu Ning's eyes.The latter still came forward with a smile: "I'm here. Are you okay?"

"It's okay. You're so busy, you don't need to come here." Mu Ning looked at the door for a long time, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Is there no one outside when you came?"

Lin Jiayang lied and said, "No."

"Does it hurt?" Lin Jiayang sat down next to him and said, "I heard about it after filming the endorsement commercial. It came in a hurry, so I didn't buy anything."

"I'm fine." Mu Ning said with a wry smile, "But I probably won't be able to get the role of Lin Tai."

Lin Jiayang comforted him and said: "One role is gone, there is another one."

Mu Ning was unhappy.From the day he left Zhuang Yao, he never expected it to be smooth sailing, it's just... how much he once hoped that this role could be won smoothly, but now he is so sad.This is not a haze that can be dispelled simply by saying "if the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come".

Seeing that he was really depressed, Lin Jiayang couldn't talk about him anymore, so he changed his mind and said, "By the way, I received a notebook these two days, playing a double male lead with Bai Xiaotan. The film crew said you introduced it."

Mu Ning recalled the embarrassing social gathering that day, and said, "I just mentioned one thing, how can I have such a big face."

"Would you like me to pick it up? I know you don't have a good relationship with Bai Xiaotan. If you're not happy, I won't pick it up." Lin Jiayang said.

That being said, he doesn't really care.With his appearance, he wouldn't even be able to get an appointment with a costume drama, so why bother to pick up a pair of male leads.The first time I read this script, it was because Huang Shan saw Yue Fangcun's name, and thought that after accepting this film, she might be able to try the waters of the film industry if she established a relationship.

Mu Ning listened, but his heart was extremely sour.

Lin Jiayang is so young, he knows how to take care of his emotions.Zhuang Yao was more than a round older than him, and he never thought about taking care of himself.

At that time, even if Zhuang Yao could lie to him by saying that he would check it out, he would not be caught like a firecracker.

After thinking about it, what right does he have to say that Zhuang Yao did something wrong.When Zhuang Yao came to visit him, he might just say a few words and leave.It was he who relied on Zhuang Yao, and the grievance and fear in his heart were unspoken, so he acted like a baby to show weakness, and Zhuang Yao let it go.

It's not because I love him so much.Just because this is Zhuang Yao's usual style.

Be merciful everywhere, but ruthless in heart.

Seeing that Mu Ning was depressed, Lin Jiayang couldn't talk to him anymore.Zhao Aimi used Munning's account to post a blog post telling fans that she was safe. Lin Jiayang thought about it and commented on her own account: "Get well soon."

Anna came to the hospital directly with her luggage.She originally flew from Beijing to Guangzhou, and her head almost exploded after flying for more than three hours.This happened again after getting off the plane. After handling the emergency at the airport, I flew back for more than three hours non-stop.At that time, her makeup was loose and her hair was messed up like a chicken coop. It was the first time Mu Ning saw her in such a mess.

"I ran into Lin Jiayang's car in the basement just now, this kid is really nice." Anna praised.

"You like it?" Mu Ning teased her: "Dig it here."

Anna laughed and scolded: "When is it? You still have time to joke around. Mu Ning, you are now a popular person. You are the number one searched person, and you have been hanging around all day long."

Mu Ning couldn't laugh at all: "But I'd rather not be number one."

Anna was taken aback for a moment, but also sighed to herself.

She called Wucheng today and asked if "Speed ​​Storm" could be delayed for another month or two.

Wu Cheng first expressed regret, he really liked Mu Ning's performance better.But the role of Lin Tai only has about [-] or [-] scenes, which is far less than that of the protagonist group.The male and female leading actors are domestic first-line movie stars, and the schedule price is high, and the crew cannot afford this loss.I can't wait for Mu Ning's back injury to heal.

Therefore, Mu Ning's words sounded extremely sad.

There was a wind blowing outside the window, thunder was billowing, dark clouds covered the sky, and the edges were glowing red.After a while, it rained heavily.

Anna dimmed the lights in the ward and fell asleep on the sofa beside her.

There was wind and rain and thunder outside, they just carried it.She thought drowsily, even if they couldn't bear it anymore, Mr. Zhuang would always carry the sky, and the rain would never fall.

After being hospitalized for a day, the matter of Mu Ning's injury has not ebbed, and the matter of Zhuang Yao has not yet been found out.An article suddenly appeared on the Internet, and one stone caused a thousand waves.

Titled as:

Bai Xiaotan joined "Speedstorm" to subvert the image and attract attention

The first sentence of the article is: According to informed sources, Bai Xiaotan practiced hard for two months in action scenes for the role of the villain Lin Tai, and won unanimous praise from the main creators.

In the middle of the article, between touting Bai Xiaotan, he mentioned the upcoming "Black Rose", but never mentioned the male lead - that is, Mu Ning, who was hospitalized due to an injury in the past two days and has been on the top search list.

At the end of the article, it is mentioned that Bai Xiaotan is actually the only actor approached to play Lin Tai in "Speed ​​Storm".The implication is very clear: in the draft battle some time ago, it was Mu Ningfang who sang a one-man show.

One could tell at a glance that it was Bai Xiaotanfang's manuscript.Although they mainly praise Bai Xiaotan, the tradition of belittling Mu Ning is still there.

For the sake of caution, Yang Liu only posted a piece of news that Mu Ning missed the role of Lin Tai due to a fall, and pushed it all over the Internet.

In the afternoon, a marketing account suddenly broke out: The competition for the role of Lin Tai in "Speed ​​​​Storm" is indeed true.

However, the film crew had already confirmed Bai Xiaotan to play the role of Lin Tai half a month ago, and Mu Ning was rejected in the early stage of the audition.

The blog post directly pointed out that Mu Ning's injury this time was just an excuse to go downhill. He pulled out the draft that Yang Liu sent in the morning, made a groundless analysis, and came to a one-sided conclusion: Mu Ning didn't want Bai Xiaotan in The role competition was won too smoothly, so he sang a bitter trick, and the method was really dirty.

When Bai Xiaotan's fans heard the news, they retweeted and insulted Mu Ning thousands of times and directly made it popular.It's not that Mu Ning doesn't have fans. On the contrary, because "Mousse" has a hot topic with his old opponent "Fan Fan" every three days, his combat effectiveness is extraordinary, and one can be used by ten.The fans of the two sides are balanced, and the war of words has escalated again.

The marketing account was even more chaotic—the vague words were Bai Xiaotan standing on the street, complaining for Mu Ning, sorting out the two people's black materials and starting from the beginning, all kinds of things blooming.

The official blog of "Speed ​​​​Storm" that has been opened in advance, after many inquiries, posted a Weibo with the topic "Lin Tai Speed ​​​​Storm": ""Speed ​​​​Storm" is expected to be released in summer next year, thank you for your attention! "

The studio's silence was to be expected.

Now that Mu Ning has missed the second round, and the start-up is imminent, the cooperation relationship with Bai Xiaotan is preliminarily confirmed.The film crew will never refute Bai Xiaotan's face in order to clarify for Mu Ning.

Bai Xiaotan's side was obviously well prepared and everything was well thought out.Yang Liu was caught off guard this time.The public opinion was overwhelming, and for a while all favored Bai Xiaotan, who was innocently "touched" by Mu Ning.

At night, the incident fermented, and Bai Xiaotan, Mu Ning was injured, Extreme Storm, Black Rose and other related entries all became popular searches.

When all parties are at war, passers-by look at the show, and experts look at the means.

Yang Liu was also defeated.Now that the matter has come to this point, Mu Ning can't argue with anything, and it's useless to talk more.

Mu Ning looked at these with cold eyes, but only felt shuddering.This place was actually more terrifying than what he remembered.

He fell from the motorcycle and was almost paralyzed, but no one cared how much it hurt.

In order to change public opinion and seek justice for his grievances, Yang Liu did not choose to remain silent.She sent out a draft, and made his injury diagnosis public through the studio Weibo.But there are very few people who love him except fans.

Induced by Sui Jun, passers-by sneered at the comments below, saying that he was miserable and had too many dramas.Bai Xiaotan's fans cursed him, why didn't he fall directly to his death.

All the efforts he had made for the role of Lin Tai came to naught overnight, and it was still in such a tragic and costly manner.

But those insiders who had the right to speak and influence, who could clarify for him, all chose to remain silent.

In this battle of hype and public opinion, Bai Xiaotan is not the only interested party.Then there's the Speedstorm crew, and everyone else trying to get a piece of the action while the heat about his injury lingers.

These invisible hands are like a group of vultures eating a bloody antelope carcass.Quick and agile, after leaving an empty skeleton, it immediately scattered, and then went to find other prey.

He was too well protected by Zhuang Yao in the past.

Any news and manuscripts that are unfavorable to him, Zhuang Yao is always the first to suppress for him.He can smoke unscrupulously while walking on the road, and he dare not post it if someone takes a picture.When the play was in his hands, he acted it if he wanted to, and he didn't act if he didn't want to. He didn't know how many people he had offended.

Wu Chao was replaced by Bai Xiaotan as the male second, but when there was no news outside, Mu Ning realized that he needed competition.

But now, Mu Ning realizes that he not only needs to compete, but also learns to protect himself.

Wu Chao stood at the gate of the headquarters building of Juheng Media Group.

He walked into the hall, and what he saw was a Feng Shui sculpture, about two or three people tall.The building looks unremarkable from the outside, but the interior is magnificent.

He saw Bai Xiaotan's assistant appear on the set that day, so he must not pretend not to see it.

Mu Ning is occasionally arrogant, sharp-tongued, and often offends others.But at the same time delicate and sensitive, kind and warm.It is not easy to have friends in the entertainment circle, this is what he should do.

Wu Chao walked to the information desk and asked, "Is Mr. Zhuang here?"

"Hello." The front desk manager replied with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang is not available today, sorry."

"You told him about Mu Ning." Wu Chao said, "He should meet me."
