The Opening Ceremony

The results of the press conference were unexpectedly good. The official websites of all the major organizations discussed the movie in depth. At the same time, “Xiao Shan”, “Luo Shan”, “Xiao Luo”, and other fan novels appeared.

For a moment, Shan Yatong became the favorite of the media. It was as if he had allowed everyone to get to know him overnight. All the major media outlets were reporting on his news, the scenes he had filmed, the programs he had participated in, the songs he had sung, and everything that was related to him was praised by the media.

Lu Fan flipped through the newspaper in his hand and looked at the person sitting on the sofa. “You’re red.”

Shan Yatong didn’t even raise his eyelids as he played the cube game on his phone. “Oh.”

Lu Fan felt that even though it was a good thing to meet an artist who didn’t worry, there wouldn’t have a sense of accomplishment if one was excessively worry-free. At a time like this, this person didn’t even have a trace of joy. He was even calmer than himself.

Lu Fan’s mind was a little unbalanced. Who was the red person? Why was he even more excited than the main man, and the main man didn’t care and just played his game on the phone?

“The company sent you a nanny van. If you need anything, remember to tell me. I’ll report it to the higher-ups.” After saying that, Lu Fan took out a stack of photos from the drawer and turned on the computer. “These are the printed advertisement photos that the Xiao’s decided to use. There’s also the advertisement video. Do you want to take a look?”

Shan Yatong lazily stood up and walked to Lu Fan’s computer desk. He casually picked up the photos. One was him standing on the balcony covering his eyes, the other was him standing in the corridor, holding onto the stairs, and the last was him playing the piano… He picked up the photo and examined it carefully.

This photo wasn’t taken during the commercial. It was taken during his break.

He sat on the lounge chair with his hands on his body. He looked lazy and casual. These four photos were based on melancholy, wisdom, elegance, and laziness. Each one of them was amazingly captivating, but what Shan Yatong held in his hand was only the sleeping photo.

Lu Fan looked at the photo in his hand. “What, you don’t like this one?”

Shan Yatong put down the photo and shook his head with a smile. “No, it’s very good.” It turned out that his body was like this when he was asleep. It was as harmless as a cat. He stroked his chin, seemingly not in line with his nature.

“Look at the commercial. I heard it was pretty good,” Lu Fan clicked on the video. When he raised his head, Shan Yatong was already resting on the sofa.

“You’re not going to watch it?” Lu Fan turned off the computer. “What do you want?” Why was he acting so indifferent to fame and fortune? He looked down on such a flashy life, so why stay in the industry?

This was the first time Lu Fan had directly asked the question in his heart. After he asked, he knew that the other party wouldn’t answer his question.

But to his surprise, Shan Yatong spoke.

Shan Yatong’s eyes were very dark at this moment. He looked up at Lu Fan, who was waiting for an answer. “Because I’m too bored. This industry is so messy and flashy, and I need to wear so many masks. So, I’m enjoying this kind of thing. I’ll go wherever I go. That’s what I want.”

“This circle is so flashy. Only such a flashy and fake place can it let me understand how ugly this world can be. This is not remarkably interesting.” In his memory, there was a man who said that. At that time, the man was wearing a bathrobe and had washed away the alcohol on his body. The next day, the man found himself in the main role of a huge film. From then on, the man became more and more influential in the industry and eventually reached a position that no one could match.

Just what kind of darkness had the person who said these words experienced to face those ugly things and smile lightly?

Lu Fan looked at the person who was playing a game and sighed, “Have a good rest. I’ll send you to the set later. I’m afraid that you’ll have to travel to different filming locations during this period. I don’t have the time to accompany you. Remember to take good care of yourself. Also, Yang Jun will be back this afternoon. I’ll have him report to the set.”

Shan Yatong glanced at Lu Fan strangely. Why did this person suddenly have a terrifying gentleness in his tone? He closed the cover of his phone and said, “I’ll go back to my lounge first. You can call me then.”

The manager’s and artist’s lounge wasn’t on the first floor. When Shan Yatong opened the elevator, he saw another person.

Tang Ruanqing smiled at Shan Yatong and helped him press the floor button. “I heard that you’re going to be filming today. Are you ready?”

Shan Yatong stood to the side and nodded. “I’ve put everything away. I heard from Lu Fan that the company even arranged a nanny van for me. Thank you, Chairman Tang.”

Tang Ruanqing was about to say something when the elevator door opened. Shan Yatong smiled at Tang Ruanqing. “Then, I’ll go out first.”

“Alright.” Tang Ruanqing looked at the young man’s smile and suddenly said, “Take care of yourself.”

Shan Yatong’s smile froze when he heard this. However, in the blink of an eye, he smiled. “Yes, I know. Thank you.”

The elevator door slowly closed. The young man in front of Tang Ruanqing disappeared behind the elevator door. He pressed the floor number where he had just met Shan Yatong. Even he didn’t know why he had decided to accompany the young man at that instant.

He felt that the moment he saw the young man, he wanted to accompany him alone. He closed his eyes and smiled bitterly. This inexplicable impulse was truly unimaginable. That person wasn’t Jing Anjue.
