Chapter 26 The Gloomy Director

Chapter 26 The Gloomy Director

The online boycott of the movie and the ridicule of Xu Yunhan lasted day and night.

The reason why it lasted so long is because there were so many participants, including fans of Jiang Huiyin, fans of Ren Heming, fans of Lin Kongmeng, Zhengyi passers-by, and even CP fans who had bumped into Jiang Huiyin and Xu Yunhan before.

With such a huge group and such solid script facts, no matter how powerful the public relations officer is, there is nothing he can do to save the day.

Xu Yunhan changed from a rat in the gutter to a street rat, and this movie also went from being expected to being boycotted.

The evil spirit in Lin Kongmeng's heart finally came out, and the grievance disappeared.

She was in a very good mood, and the corners of her mouth were almost sore from laughter.

The only thing I feel is a pity is that Ren Heming acted in this movie, and his acting may have been in vain.

She was about to call Ren Heming to comfort him, but Ren Heming actually came to see her.

Perhaps to apologize to her, Ren Heming didn't help her when she was dragged out by Xu Rongjia last night, but Lin Kongmeng understood that there were paparazzi stationed outside, and once he chased him out, their relationship would be discovered.

Ever since she learned about Ren Heming's little-known past and sincerely stayed with Ren Heming, she was able to understand him more and more.

Ren Heming came during dinner time. He was dressed appropriately, in a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was carefully taken care of. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Mengmeng, we still..."

"A Ming, have you seen Weibo! Are you happy?" As soon as Lin Kongmeng saw him, she excitedly told him about her happiest things, took his hand and sat on the sofa, and gave him a rare considerate gesture. Pour a glass of water.

"Xu Yunhan treated you too much, he is such a bad person." Lin Kongmeng opened his iPad excitedly and couldn't wait to share with him, "Look at his current fate and how everyone scolded him, he deserves it!"

Ren Heming hesitated to speak. Seeing how happy she was, he temporarily stopped talking and looked at her iPad.

"What's going on? Why are there so many less people scolding him in real time?" Lin Kongmeng asked doubtfully.

She clicked on her agent's marketing account and discovered the problem.

The number one hot comment on that Weibo post was: [Xu Yunhan has always been very low-key, but when he was filming this movie, he was as high-profile as if he was a different person. Is he just blabbing? 】

A lot of highly liked replies suddenly appeared under this comment.

[You are numb. You are usually the one who shows off by playing, right? 】

[Blank stamp, you are awesome. Does your conscience feel better now? 】

[Those who say Xu Yunhan has no heart, do you have any? The Internet is too scary. 】

【You are all executioners! 】

【what's up? 】

[Guide: The struggling little Taozi. 】

Ren Heming knew about the "Struggling Little Taozi". On the day he and Xu Yunhan broke up, twelve actors went to Xu Yunhan's hotel. At that time, Xu Yunhan accepted an interview with an entertainment reporter. He was the "Struggling Little Taozi", whose real name was Tao Tao.

At that time, he and Han Lin even drove after her, trying to find out what information Xu Yunhan had given her.

While thinking this, Lin Kongmeng had already followed the directions on Weibo to find "Struggling Little Taozi" and clicked on the video she had just posted on Weibo.

The video is from the coffee shop of that hotel, which is decorated with simple logs and flowers.

Xu Yunhan sat there, pale and thin, with no life in his body, but his eyes were as bright as spring, contradictory and harmonious with the environment behind him.

In fact, he was not as thin as he is now, but in the lens that can magnify the details, the pale and sick look on his face is still heart-shaking. And when he smiles, it is like a flower blooming quietly in a broken and dead place, and even more Shocking.

"Do you think I'm weird when you cast actors on Weibo tonight? Is it very different from the past?"

Listening to this sentence, everyone will know when this interview was. At that time, it was a hot search event on Weibo, and anyone who surfed the Internet had seen it.

The barrage at this time was very unfriendly, and netizens collectively transferred the ridicule and abuse on Weibo into targeted videos.

[Why does he look so unhealthy? Could it be xd or have that kind of disease? 】

[I heard that people like him are not clean. 】

[Although, he really needs to take a good look. Help, I shouldn’t be led away by such a person’s facial features. 】

[It looks so good, so disgusting! 】

In the video, Tao Tao said: "Yes, I have read Director Xu's past experience and works, and I feel that Director Xu is a very low-key and cautious person. I really didn't expect that he would suddenly choose the protagonist on Weibo like this."

Xu Yunhan gave a soft "hmm", lowered her long eyelashes and was silent for a moment, then raised her head and smiled again, her eyes brightening and darkening as if she was lost in memories.

"The reason you say low-key is actually because I am introverted and autistic. I don't like to socialize, which is a social fear."

"When I was a child, my father always thought that with my personality, I could only be a writer or screenwriter who wrote books at home. At a certain moment, because of one person, I embarked on a career path that was very inconsistent with my personality."

Tao Tao is very good at asking questions: "Because of one person? Director Xu, can you tell me who it is?"

Xu Yunhan smiled and said, "It's in the movie. You can go see it when the time comes."

【Fuck! The movie script was indeed written based on him! 】

[We did not accuse him unjustly. So many people stood up and spoke out. I knew it was not wrong. What about those people who shouted to calm down? 】

[How could he have the nerve to say that? 】

Tao Tao didn't know all this at the time, and was surprised when she heard it, "In the movie? Is there a story about Director Xu in the movie?"

"Yes." Xu Yunhan said, "The protagonist of the movie is based on me."

Tao Tao brought back the previous topic, "You said just now that you are actually a little autistic, and your behavior during the casting process for this movie has changed a lot from before. Is this related to the fact that this movie is your life story? Can you expand? Tell me?"

Xu Yunhan said: "I just said that the career of directing is actually not suitable for me. When I first started filming TV series, I had to attract investment, find producers, find actors, and coordinate all the crew members. The chaos and pain at that time remains till now. There are also feelings. I just dealt with this kind of pressure and pain, and made one TV series and one movie after another without any ego."

He was not an actor, but he spoke with a sense of empathy. Tao Tao listened quietly and responded at the right time: "I have read all your works, and they are all very attentive."

[Is he now talking about his previous achievements again? 】

[A few days ago, the hot topic about him not relying on his father and starting from the bottom to start filming seriously was bought by him, right? 】

[I hope you know that the work has nothing to do with the character, it is obscene and disgusting. 】

Xu Yunhan said "thank you".

Tao Tao: "Did you decide to make your own movie because it was a lot of internal work to make those movies?"

"No." Xu Yunhan shook his head, "As a director, I have watched many movies, many of which are adapted from real events and characters. Some of the protagonists in the movie stories are the director's friends, some are the director's relatives, and some are the director's own stories. But at that time I never thought about filming my own story.”

He smiled, "Because my life is really boring."

[So you’re obscene, right? 】

[Alas, my life is too pathetic, so I asked the actor Bai Yueguang to play me, and let a popular actor fall in love with me (dog head). 】

[I’m laughing so hard. You’re not doing well because you’re incompetent. What’s the point of dragging others into trouble? 】

Tao Tao was curious, "What's the reason? All these changes."

Xu Yunhan was silent for a few seconds, rubbing the handle of the white porcelain coffee cup with his fingers. After more than ten seconds, he raised his head and showed a bright smile that made the audience in front of the screen stop breathing.

"Because I'm dying of terminal cancer," he said.

Everyone in front of the screen was stunned when they looked at his smile. They didn't react to his words for a while, as if they had lost their language.

【is that a lie. 】

[Is this the way he had thought of a long time ago to clear his name? 】

[Depression is better than cancer, Director Xu, what will you do if you don’t die? It's better to say that I'm suffering from severe depression and can get better by making a movie like this. 】

There were only sporadic barrages, reflecting the person suddenly coughing on the screen.

Xu Yunhan was too thin. The thin fingers covering his lips trembled. When he coughed, it felt like he was about to cough out his heart.

Everyone watched in horror as he coughed and blood spilled from his fingers.

Taking his hand away from his lips, he put his hand in front of his face to look at it, and moved closer to the camera.

Thick, bright red blood flowed from his long, pale and bony fingers. The strong contrast was extremely dazzling, as if to say, I took out my heart. Do you believe it?

Xu Yunhan picked up the wet tissue on the table, wiped the blood off his hands, and wiped the blood on his lips.

The eyes of many stunned people moved to his face.

The pale lips were stained with blood, and after wiping them, the red color spread from the corners of the mouth to the pale face. When the sickly face smiled, it turned out to be bright and beautiful.

Even those who have watched countless movies and TV series have never seen such an infectious smile.

There are a lot less barrages on the screen, and there is a feeling of silence on the entire network.

At this moment, in the refreshing video, Xu Yunhan's pleasant voice slowly sounded, without panic or sadness.

"The doctor said I would never survive more than a year. As I was dying, I looked back on my life and wrote this script. This movie is a record of my life, my farewell to the world, and my last wish. "

"Because I ran out of time, I urgently publicly searched for a male lead on Weibo after the original male lead was not cast. No matter who it is, I am very grateful that he can play this role and fulfill my last wish."

Tao Tao didn't know why she didn't speak.

In the video, Xu Yunhan was talking to himself, with the corners of his bloody lips rising and falling, making people's hearts rise and fall, "Actually, apart from those works, I am an ordinary person, living a miserable life, humble and introverted to society." I’m afraid, it’s still a failure. The person I’ve liked for more than 20 years hasn’t touched me for two or three years.”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "No one wants to see the life of a person like me?"

The smile on his face turned bright and gentle again, "However, I think it is worth recording. Maybe this is the meaning of me becoming a director back then."

Tao Tao finally found her voice. She sniffed and said with a choked voice, "There will be many people who want to see it."

She expressed the sentiments of many people, "Director Xu, I regret that I got to know you so late. I missed you for a long time. I will definitely not miss this movie. I will get to know your past in the movie."

She understood it all, and so did the audience, "Your changes are also due to cancer."

"Yeah." Xu Yunhan nodded.

"In the past, Xu Yunhan always lowered his head with inferiority, always avoided the eyes of others, and lived alone in his own closed and dark world. In the last period of time in this world, he wanted to live differently, and his life span was only a few days. Fireflies also emit light, don’t they?”

He pursed his lips and smiled, a bit shy and awkward, but as if he had mustered up the courage. This smile on his gloomy and thin face, under his beautiful and bright eyes, made the hearts of those who looked at it ache, "I hope I can do it."

If Tao Tao's sniffling sound just now was the starting point of her emotions, this smile directly broke people's defenses.

[Where is the person who just said that Xu Daxd has that kind of disease? With your mouth-making business, aren't you afraid of going to hell and having your tongue ripped out? 】

[Who the hell says not to watch this disgusting movie? I want to see it! Not only do you need to watch it, but you also need to scold those who say this movie is disgusting and cancel their accounts. 】

[Who said that his high-profile is boring? ! I can't imagine how he would feel when he saw Weibo when he was scolded for being scolded for his courageous change in the last moments of his life. 】

[I have seen him in the TV drama behind-the-scenes. He really stood in the corner with his head lowered and hid whenever he encountered the camera. Now before he died, he finally raised his head and unexpectedly saw such a world. 】

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" 】

[You are not a firefly, you are a treasure or a jewel, and you will always shine. 】

"Bang!——"

The eerie silence in the room was broken.

The water glass in Ren Heming's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the glass shattered on the ground.

Lin Kongmeng suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Ren Heming, who was barely breathing.

She had never seen Ren Heming like this before. It was as if what was broken was not the water glass, but his world, which suddenly collapsed and shattered.

Lin Kongmeng's heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed his hand in an inexplicable panic.

Ren Heming stood up suddenly and stepped on the glass to walk out, but he staggered and fell to the ground, his palms pressed into the sharp glass.

But he seemed unaware, stood up against the glass, and ran out staggeringly.

"A Ming, A Ming!" Lin Kongmeng tried to help him but didn't have time, so he hurriedly followed him.

But he ran too fast, Lin Kongmeng couldn't catch up with him, and he didn't react at all when he called him.

He couldn't hear the sound or feel the pain. He seemed to have lost his perception of the world and could only run back.

Lin Kongmeng looked at him like this, stumbling further and further away in panic, holding on to the door frame and crying.

She finally understood that Ren Heming liked Xu Yunhan.

Like it very much.

Himself, something they all didn't realize they liked.

The crew of "Under the Banyan Tree" has a folding table for eating.

Usually when filming on the set, they all eat lunch boxes, squatting down anywhere with the lunch boxes and eating.

Xu Rongjia bought this folding table specially for his son to make his meals more comfortable.

There is a table with six chairs, and usually Xu Yunhan, Xu Rongjia, and several main actors eat here.

At this time, everyone on the table was eating, but there was no sound at all.

The whole set was quiet.

In the silence, a tear fell on the lunch box.

Zhou Yian quickly wiped away his tears and lowered his head, but the tears still fell drop by drop.

Xu Rongjia filled a bowl of soup for Su Qingyu, "Come on, son, can you still drink it?"

Su Qingyu pinched the bridge of his nose. He thought that Xu Rongjia would not be able to accept it after the incident was exposed. Unexpectedly, Xu Rongjia behaved normally, while Zhou Yi'an burst into tears.

At that time, except Jiang Huiyin, a total of twelve male actors came to audition for the male lead. After it was confirmed that Jiang Huiyin would play the role, he introduced other opportunities to these twelve actors.

Only then would Zhou Yi'an have to play the role, even if it's not the leading role.

Later, another actor, Liang Shuhang, said he also wanted to try other roles.

The two of them stayed in the crew, playing the roles of Liu Xun and Yun He, friends who met in college and often filmed together after leaving campus.

At this time, Zhou Yi'an was in tears, and Liang Shuhang's eyes were red, which made An Xinyue so sad that she couldn't eat, Xu Rongjia was abnormally normal, and Jiang Huiyin was the only one at the table who was in a stable mood.

Su Qingyu broke the oppressive silence and said to Xu Rongjia: "Dad, did you already know this?"

When Tao Tao interviewed him, he asked Tao Tao to keep it a secret for him first. His words were also retained in the video she sent, "I want the people around me to spend less time grieving."

But obviously, Xu Rongjia had expected it.

Xu Rongjia nodded, "One time when you were eating on the set, you suddenly ran out and vomited. When you came back and sat behind the monitor to film, I went to look in the trash can and saw a lot of blood and sticky things."

"You may not know that you lost weight very quickly, and your body collapsed visibly. I know it. Last time you said you thought you had stomach cancer when you went to the doctor, it was true, just like what was written in the script. "

Su Qingyu said with a smile: "Dad will see that I lose weight quickly and that I am uncomfortable."

This sentence struck Xu Rongjia somewhere. He lowered his head for a while and then raised his head, asking with a normal expression: "Can you still eat it?"

Dad is always stronger than the children think.

When it came to this, Su Qingyu said truthfully: "Basically, I can't eat anymore. It's time to go to the hospital for infusion."

Xu Rongjia immediately said: "Don't worry, I will guard the crew for you and finish the filming."

Su Qingyu stood up quickly. He also wanted to go. He stayed here while the others were tense and carefully suppressed their emotions, which further delayed the filming.

Jiang Huiyin stood up after him, "I have nothing to do tonight, I will take you to the hospital."

"Okay, okay, let Xiao Jiang go. I don't worry about Xiao Jiang going." Xu Rongjia said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Jiang."

That was the arrangement. Jiang Huiyin took Su Qingyu to the hospital, while the others stayed here to film.

It's not that they don't want to go along, this movie is his last wish, and they have to finish it well and fulfill his wish.

As soon as Jiang Huiyin drove Su Qingyu away, Ren Heming ran back to the set.

His face was covered with frost, blood was dripping from his hands, and his eyes were so red that they seemed to be bleeding. As soon as he came in, he looked for Xu Yunhan in a panic.

"Xu Yunhan, Xu Yunhan, Xu Yunhan! Who told me?"

Zhou Yi'an rushed up and knocked him down with a punch, "Tell you, sir!"

There were still tears in his eyes, and he started to fight while riding on Ren Heming.

Zhou Yi'an's mood was extremely complicated these two days, and it was during these two days that he suffered from insomnia for the first time in his life.

He has always been simple-minded, and he didn't realize at first that the protagonist of the movie was Xu Yunhan himself, until yesterday it was revealed on the Internet that the movie was based on Xu Yunhan and Ren Heming.

He felt extremely uncomfortable at the time. He had guessed whether Xu Yunhan liked Jiang Huiyin, but he didn't expect that he liked Ren Heming so much and had liked her for so many years.

And he also told Ren Heming at that time how much he liked Xu Yunhan.

Before this period of discomfort had passed, I saw the video and was shocked to hear the bad news.

When he grows up, the first time he likes someone, that person is about to die.

After reading the complete script and then watching the video, how could he still not understand? He thought of the video in which Xu Yunhan said that he became a director because of one person, and how he wanted to beat Ren Heming to death because of his humility and pain.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It's all your fault that made him like this! You accompany me to direct!"

The rest of the crew just watched. There were all kinds of emotions and speculations outside, but they knew much better than the people outside. They had read the script and knew the story of the two people.

It was Liang Shuhang who went up to start the fight. He kicked Ren Heming and pulled Zhou Yi'an's arm, "Stop it, stop it! Don't slap me in the face! We have to film!"

Su Qingyu and Jiang Huiyin didn't know what was happening on the set. They had already arrived at the hospital.

Jiang Huiyin took him to register, see a doctor, take X-rays, and send him to the ward. The whole process was orderly.

Su Qingyu was lying on the bed, looking at Jiang Huiyin's face who bent over to cover him with a quilt, "Best actor Jiang, how are my acting skills?"

He was talking about Tao Taofa's video. When Tao Tao interviewed him, he had already anticipated everything that would happen next, and it was indeed an act.

He wouldn't say this in front of others, but Jiang Huiyin was the only one among everyone who looked as calm as if he hadn't watched the video.

Su Qingyu guessed that he had already guessed it, more than Xu Rongjia, so he accepted the ending very well.

Therefore, he had nothing to hide from him and was able to communicate and exchange acting skills with one of the few actors he admired.

After Jiang Huiyin covered him with a quilt, he sat on the edge of the bed and carefully thought about the video, and said, "It's very good, very... touching, I'm ashamed of myself."

Su Qingyu smiled and finally could lie down on the hospital bed. He felt much more comfortable, "There's no need to feel ashamed."

"If we make a movie together." He looked at Jiang Huiyin and said, "It should be equally matched. It would be great."

Jiang Huiyin's eyes moved slightly but said nothing.

Su Qingyu also had some pity in his eyes.

Outside the ward, when the doctor was walking towards the VIP ward with the report, he saw Ren Heming running towards him.

The doctor frowned. Ren Heming looked really miserable at this time, with his body covered in mud, his hands stained with blood, and he was still limping when running.

He ran over and grabbed the doctor's arm directly, "Doctor, doctor! Where is Xu Yunhan, how is he?"

Upon hearing that he was here to see Xu Yunhan, the doctor looked carefully at his face, which was stained with a lot of dirt, and found out that he was Ren Heming.

When Xu Yunhan first came to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor listened to the nurses' general remarks. He said with a complicated mood: "He does have terminal cancer, and..."

"It can definitely be cured, right? Medical care is so advanced now, right, doctor? It can definitely be cured!" Ren Heming grabbed the doctor's arm and asked hoarsely.

The doctor who was interrupted frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry with me now? What have you been doing so long ago? He has advanced gastric cancer and has missed the best period for treatment. It is conservatively estimated that he can only live for three months."

"How many, how many?"

His hands and voice were trembling, but the doctor was not a real angel and could not give him hope in life. He said: "For three months, we suggest that his family and relatives accompany him well so that he can spend the last three months happily and relaxedly." For a while, don’t over-treat.”

After the doctor finished speaking, he pulled away his hand and entered the ward.

The sound insulation effect of the hospital ward is not that good. What the doctor and Ren Heming said at the door were heard by both people in the ward.

At this time, the doctor no longer hid anything from the patient and truthfully told the two of them the condition.

Even though the doctor had known for a long time that Xu Yunhan knew that he had terminal cancer, he was still a little surprised to see him so calm.

When he was about to tell Xu Yunhan some precautions, he saw Xu Yunhan looking up at the door.

Ren Heming was standing there, as if he was the one unable to stand due to terminal cancer. He was holding on to the door frame and stood there in embarrassment.

When Su Qingyu was lying on the snow-white hospital bed, raising her thin and frightening face without any blood and looking over, something finally overflowed from Ren Heming's red eyes.

Xu Yunhan had never seen Ren Heming's tears in his life.
