CHAPTER 85-86
Not expecting to chat with MZ till 11, SQS straightforwardly pointed it out. MZ pretended to be surprised, after all they changed few topics so he was aware, but bid farewell. SQS called HC back explaining HC the situation, first HC caught that SQS called MZ 'Brother Meng' and the second was about the late time, HC asked SQS not to talk till this late with MZ in the future to which SQS agreed. HC hurried him to rest and the short conversation came to an end with that after wishing each other 'good night'.
The next morning he participated in the opening ceremony, the PR team sent the posts with photos and several names which SQS forwarded with the message of new role new beginning, which made fans cheer for his development and wondered how he got such resources so soon. Some were happy, some questioned if he has the qualifications, others said it is just a good luck, since the moment he blew up he appeared uninterrupted, and others wished him good luck, since the second is the movie after an idol drama.
SQS had lunch with the team before preparing to film. The movie is a crime-themed one, telling a story of a murder cases that appeared one after another in a pretty calm city, the character of MZ playes the senior who tried to crack the case and find the connection. AT the same time his apprentice, played by SQS was one step ahead of his master, but before he had the chance to inform his master of the murderer he became the target of the murderer himself. Before he died he desperately tried to leave hints, but the senior who was hit hard with grief overlooked it at first. It was not only until later he discovered those hints to follow the killer. Both senior and the killer have good psychological play. SQS's role on the other hand has good parts and not so good parts, he indeed becomes the white moonlight boy in the heart of his senior, but with such a role it is hard to land an award. Though SQS was not bothered by not receiving an award, so he ignored this fact.
Looking at the script SQS heard someone saying - Bai Jian, come here.
Shen Qingshu quickly raised his head and saw a man of his age not far away. Looking handsome and docile. He was watching BJ who suddenly turned his head to look at him, SQS politely smiled. BJ smiled back and walked towards himself. SQS remembered that this is how the protagonist was called and that MZ appeared several times in order to help the protagonist who had worked with him get the name justified and wash away his grievances. He thought this fit, trying to remember if protag had other characteristic and found he also had a mole under his eye same as described. SQS thought - HC, your wife is here (SQS, stop the dellusion, you're the wife in Han household aha).
Anyway SQS smiled warmly at BJ who came to greet saying that he played MZ's younger brother in the movie. SQS had no idea BJ was part of the crew, but it happened to be like that. There were only a handful of plays between MZ and BJ. BJ's character was also jealous of SQS's character. Their characters had a play together where Luo Yi (SQS) asked why Li Haiyang (MZ) doesn't allow Li Lang become a police officer, but Li Lang explained it's because he lost parents to this line of work, so he was afraid same happening to him. Therefore Luo Yi's death was a devastating blow to Li Haiyang, since he was most afraid of losing people and the life of his apprentice ended at the age of 23. When reading this scene in the script SQS didn't ask who played the brother, but it happened to be the protagonist of the book. He thought that now that protagonist is here he might as well pack up, assist and go offline. But it all depends on HC's attitude. If the two of them fell in love at first sight, he would go directly off the assembly line and wish them a beautiful love. If the entanglement is long, he can also help them get together, after all they were filming together now. SQS thought if he should mention about dissolving their car friends relationship, but from other point it was too abrupt, they just hugged each other yesterday and brining this up is too much, HC might think he hooked up with someone and it's not good. SQS was holding his head, feeling that he had to think of a suitable solution.
SQS had two plays with MZ, after finishing he returned with Jianming before being ready to eat. Now that he is more free he can think of what to do with HC while his wife is online now. But however he thought it was too abrupt and too bad, it's hard to tell HC and HC on his hand won't easily accept it. Anyway SQS intended first let HC see BJ first and then proceed according to the results of their first meeting.
That's why he called HC asking if he was free lately, HC asked if SQS missed him. Instead SQS asked if he wanted to visit, HC played hard saying that he was really busy with work. SQS heard him and thought he was indeed busy and asked to visit when he was free. In the end when SQS wanted to hang up HC made him talk with him longer hinting that he was happy talking with MZ yesterday, but SQS it was only for work and as a main person where else MZ would find time to talk to him, yet talked with HC for wuite some time, before HC hurried him to rest. HC hung up with satisfaction and walked into the bedroom looking at the set of SQS q version figures. He picked one squeezing its' face, but it's one you can't pinch. HC sighed thinking that it's not as good as the real person. After thinking of his time he felt he can finish work on Friday and surprise SQS. SInce SQS thinks of him, it's better to surprise him. He poked the small figuring saying how kind he is to SQS.
MZ who finished filming initially wanted to find SQS for tomorrow's play, but then remembered it was late already.
SQS dreamed how HC refused to talk to him no matter how he tried, when he woke up it was 7 in the morning and thought if it was the result of his thoughts.
MZ who came in saw SQS sitting in his seat wrapped in light, he came closer to greet and asked if he memorized the lines, which of course SQS did, so MZ asked to go through the line reading. Finishing the scene with MZ, SQS saw BJ sitting alone and walked closer asking why he came so early, not to mention that BJ had no plays today at all. BJ softly answered that he came to watch MZ and take notes from the Director Zheng and his guidance. SQS complimented him for his seriouness, but BJ said he just wanted to learn more when he was idle and it will be good for him. SQS looked at BJ who is indeed a very comfortable look, not aggressive, and looks very gentle. Although it may not be too dazzling at first glance.
SQS: You are so young, and there are still many opportunities in the future.
What he said is true, in the future with the help of HC he will find his own niche as a well-known actor, but he reason why he didn't become a movie emperor lies within the book content which is centered around love and not career. And then solving the misunderstanding the book ends.
SQS: Wait and later, you might meet a noble person.
BJ: How is it possible.
SQS: What is impossible, there is still a dream that can come true.
BJ shook his head and answered nothing. Here SQS remembered that 80% of misunderstandings were due to his lack of confidence in himself and distrust of Han Cheng.
SQS, patting BJ's shoulder: You have to be more confident.
BJ looked at SQS's bright smile and laughed at himself. If he had the appearance and popularity of SQS, he would be confident, but not everyone is like SQS, so he just has a clear self-awareness.
BJ: Thank you.
Although he knew that BJ, the protagonist, was gentle and not so confident, he never expected to be so lacking in confidense. No wonder they misundertood each other so much. But who made HC like a person like that. As long as the two of them like each other, it doesn't matter what the others think. When SQS thought of this, he felt that car friends and true love are really different. What a car friend looks at is only the skin, and true love is a person who pays attention to the inside and wants to go on together. SQS couldn't help but glanced at BJ again, feeling that he was also really happy to meet a lover like HC. How nice is HC, gentle and considerate, humorous, handsome, and good-tempered. The most important is he has always been willing to respect others, maybe only a gentle person like HC can encourage him and give him confidence, let him move towards a better tomorrow. And people like himself who are almost narcissistic in their self-confidence, naturally they can't arouse others' desire for protection. When he thought of this, he realized that Su Luo and Sun Xuan had trouble with him when he was filming. HC asked him why he didn't tell him. He obviously wanted to help him, but SQS refused. He didn't like to rely too much on others, he wanted to solve everything he could solve by himself, so maybe HC wanted to protect him at that time, but he refused. SQS woke up from his entangled thoughts, after all it was useless. He is indeed this type of person, it's impossible to change himself. He really couldn't figure why he thought of such things now.
SQS looked at BJ and wanted to ask what type of person he liked, but then thought it was too abrupt and instead promised to help if he has problems.
BJ, not understanding why SQS treated him so well: Brother Shen, why are you taking care of me like this?
SQS: The two of us are of the same age, also we are both newcomers, so naturally we should take care of each other.
BJ nodded but thought he praised him too much: Brother Shen, how can you and I be the same, although we are about the same age, but the others are not as good as you.
SQS: It's okay, you will catch up slowly, and you have a very long future.
SQS bid farewell and went to film.
HC who worked hard for entire week finally finished early on Friday to reach the filming location and wanting to surprise with the help of Xiao Li enterted the venue. As a result, just not far from the shooting area he saw MZ standing in front of SQS, helping him arrange the collar of his police uniform. SQS said something, MZ smiled, SQS also laughed.
HC: ...
HC strode over and walked directly in front of SQS. SQS looked at him in surprise, ignoring that MZ was still helping him with his collar, and walked straight to HC.
SQS: Why are you here?
HC: Should I not come?
SQS: Of course not.
HC: Then I can't come?
SQS: I warmly welcome you.
HC: Really?
SQS: Of course. *he pointed at his police uniform* Does it look good?
HC: It's handsome.
SQS, satisfied: I also think it's handsome. *thinking of the collar that MZ just helped him to fix before he rushed, he looked at MZ embarrassingly* Brother Meng, thank you.
MZ: You're welcome, but your collar hasn't been fixed yet.
He watched as SQS showed off his clothes to the other party with excitement and brilliance in his eyes and thought that this is probably not just a simple driver.
This protag is so meh, after powerful SQS his meek personality is so meh. Tbh I don't like meek characters, especially one like him, it is pretty obvious that his character is against SQS who came into entertainment with a stong foot and a firm goal, unlike BJ (lol, I just now realized how perverted shortening of his name sounds) who is as if waiting for someone to push further. But I believe with SQS's personality even if he was half as handsome he still found himself in the entertainment industry.
