Beijing, late at night.
Dragging heavy steps, Wan Xiaoquan returned to his home on the Fifth Ring Road.
This 70-square-meter two-bedroom apartment is not only Wan Xiaoquan's current residence, but also his only valuable property. It was originally rented to others. After he was released from prison, it was his only home.
Wan Xiaoquan originally had a large well-decorated house in the Third Ring Road. When he divorced, he divided his property to his ex-wife.
For his ex-wife, Wan Xiaoquan admitted that he owed a lot.
And this home was very simple and crude, without even decent furniture. The ground was covered with cheap composite floors, which glowed with cold light under the light of the ceiling lamp, as if it was silently laughing at him.
As soon as he closed the door, a strong feeling of vomiting arose from his stomach, making the former director couldn't help but run to the bathroom, throw himself on the toilet and vomit.
After vomiting all the food and wine he had eaten in the evening, he vomited until his stomach acid came out. He finally felt a little better, flushed the toilet, washed his face, and staggered to make himself a cup of strong tea.
After swallowing a few pieces of stomach medicine with tea, Wan Xiaoquan sat down on the dirty and dusty sofa, his face twitching slightly.
It's been some time since he was released from prison, and he hasn't found a suitable job.
Originally, with Wan Xiaoquan's qualifications and fame in the film and television industry, there were many investors who wanted to find him to cooperate. But what happened last time when he made a new film not only put him in prison, but also ruined his future.
No one will ask Wan Xiaoquan to be a director at this time.
Because his reputation in the circle is bad, and he is also listed on it. Everyone is afraid to avoid him!
With great difficulty, he found a film and television company. He gritted his teeth and took out his few savings in the bank to entertain the person in charge of the other party, asking for only a position as an assistant director.
As a result, he spent the money and drank until he vomited, but he didn't get a clear response.
Wan Xiaoquan knew that there was no hope.
But if he doesn't shoot, what can he do? Go to the construction site to move bricks?
A bitter smile appeared on Wan Xiaoquan's lips, as well as deep regret.
If he wasn't so impulsive, if he could listen to his friends' advice, if he could …
It's useless to say anything now!
Wan Xiaoquan really doesn't want to bother his retired teacher anymore. Although relying on Zhang Wentian's face, he can get a job somewhere and linger on in the strange eyes of others.
What little pride he had left would not allow him to do such a thing.
After sitting on the sofa for a long time, Wan Xiaoquan returned to his bedroom and lay on the bed, but he was not sleepy at all.
His stomach ached convulsively.
After enduring for a while, he sat up again, got out of bed, and turned on his computer.
It was a long night. Let's use this to pass the time of insomnia!
Wan Xiaoquan slowly browsed through the information on the Internet. He was especially attentive when it came to movies.
In the Waves blog, he saw Lu Chen's name.
It was the headline on the front page of the blog!
Wan Xiaoquan remembered Lu Chen. The only time he saw Lu Chen was at Zhang Wentian's house. The tall, handsome and polite young man left a deep impression on him.
Wan Xiaoquan only knew that Lu Chen was a singer and an actor who had just shot a very popular TV series.
So now that he saw Lu Chen's headline name on the Waves blog, he couldn't help but feel curious and clicked on the search.
He quickly learned what happened to Lu Chen, and at the same time, he saw the video that had been forwarded millions of times.
Wan Xiaoquan watched this video of a few minutes for more than half an hour, repeatedly watching it, dragging the progress bar back and forth, and focusing on Lu Chen.
His eyes were getting brighter and brighter, as if he had found a treasure!
Different from what others were paying attention to, Wan Xiaoquan was indifferent to the superb skills and fighting ability shown by Lu Chen in the video. What he saw was a kind of momentum, or aura, that Lu Chen had.
Unruffled, confident, and powerful!
If this kind of aura appeared on an artiste, it meant that he had the potential to become a superstar.
Real superstars all have the same or similar temperament!
Wan Xiaoquan didn't expect that such a young Lu Chen would have such a temperament.
All kinds of thoughts in his mind grew wildly like weeds after the rain!
Wan Xiaoquan suddenly remembered that when he met Lu Chen at Zhang Wentian's house, Lu Chen once gave him a business card.
Where did this business card go?
Wan Xiaoquan instinctively fumbled in his pocket and took out his wallet, but it was not there at all.
He couldn't help but become anxious, rummaging through the drawers and bedside cabinets, and even running to the tea machine in the living room to look for his bag.
A strong intuition was telling the former director that he had made too many mistakes, and he mustn't make them again this time!
He must find this business card.
…
South Korea, Cheju Island.
Although there were unexpected twists and turns, the filming work of the "Full House of Romance" crew in this tourist resort was not affected much, and the rest of the scenes were successfully shot the next morning.
In the afternoon, the crew left Cheju Island for Seoul to continue filming in South Korea.
The impact of the Wanghaitai incident did not disappear with the departure of the "Full House of Romance" crew. Instead, it exploded into a new hot topic on the Internet.
The Japanese man who had a conflict with Lu Chen was there to take promotional photos of the artiste, and this artiste, who was protected by multiple bodyguards, was Japan's Kitagawa Koji!
Kitagawa Koji was a star idol who had risen rapidly in Japan in recent years. He was one year younger than Lu Chen. Since his debut, his path to stardom had been smooth. He was well-rounded in singing and acting. Not only did he have a large number of fans in China, but he also had a certain influence in South Korea.
He came to Cheju Island to shoot a photo shoot, mainly for the endorsement of a South Korean clothing brand.
As a result, the video of the conflict between Kitagawa Koji and Lu Chen was posted on South Korea's largest community website, Cyworld. Someone immediately recognized the star, which then caused a heated discussion among South Korean netizens, especially Kitagawa Koji's fans.
Interestingly, there were also many South Korean fans of Lu Chen in Cyworld!
However, Lu Chen's fans had the upper hand in the debate. It was not only because Kitagawa Koji was Japanese, but also because his performance in front of Lu Chen was a little unsightly. His pathetic appearance made people shudder.
South Koreans and Japanese had a common ethnic trait, which was that outsiders respected the strong. Therefore, the number of fans of Lu Chen on the Korean Internet increased exponentially.
In the end, there was soon news that the South Korean clothing brand had the intention to give up on Kitagawa Koji and let Lu Chen be the endorsement.
Regardless of whether the news was true or not, Lu Chen was once again popular in South Korea. As the news and rumors spread into China, it had a positive impact on his image.
However, nothing was perfect in this world. There were also negative consequences. Kitagawa Koji's Japanese fans would definitely see Lu Chen as an enemy!
