He thought that although Shen Heng was sharp, he was trustworthy. When they met, he would be present so Shen Heng would never embarrass his friends.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who would have thought that there would be an emergency? He was delayed in the company for a while and when he came back, both sides had already met and talked back and forth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s more, he didn&#8217;t expect that this room full of big shots would end up falling in front of a bottle of red wine.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chu Mei Bo believed in Shen Huai, since Shen Huai said that Shen Heng can be trusted, she would no longer doubt Shen Heng, but she was still a little depressed after all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pei Ran frowned slightly, rarely showing a trace of reluctance: &#8220;I can also drink, but&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before he finished speaking, Chu Mei Bo glanced at him: &#8220;By law, minors are not allowed to drink.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pei Ran: &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was the second time he needed to bow under Chinese law.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just then, Song Yimian came over: &#8220;I called Mr. Guo&#8217;s assistant, he said he would come here to pick him up.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai nodded, &#8220;Then go back first. I&#8217;ll wait for his assistant here.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Chu Mei Bo and Pei Ran saw this, they didn\u2019t speak any more. They said good night and went back, but after they left Song Yimian sill didn\u2019t move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his courage and said to Shen Huai: &#8220;Brother Shen, I have something to say to you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At dinner before, Shen Huai noticed that Song Yimian seemed to have something on his mind, but in that situation, it was not easy to ask. That&#8217;s why right now, e<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ven if Song Yimian did not look for him, now he would have asked Song Yimian for clarification.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He smiled gently and led Song Yimian to sit at the bar, made two cups of coffee and pushed one of them in front of Song Yimian, then lightly chatted: &#8220;I heard Kefei say, have you received an audition offer for several roles recently?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peng Kefei was Shen Huai&#8217;s assistant agent. Because Shen Huai had gradually transferred his energy to the Yihang studio, he couldn\u2019t take care of Song Yimian like before. So, he hired an assistant agent, and some small things were done by this assistant agent, but the main direction was still in Shen Huai&#8217;s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hand<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Yimian nodded and replied in a low voice: &#8220;Yes, sister Kefei said that she has received many scripts. She has selected several scripts and they were all very good&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai did not speak but signaled him to continue.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Yimian pursed her lips and rubbed the coffee cup, and the endless heat spread from the cup to the palm of his hand, and from palm to his heart.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A year ago, he was just a little actor who had no role to act and could be expelled from this circle at any time. A year later, he not only participated in &#8220;Red Actress&#8221;, but also got many role offers, which he could not even imagine before.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And all this was brought to him by Shen Huai.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beginning, when he was discouraged, it was Shen Huai who brought him out of the abyss. Later, it was Shen Huai who constantly gave him the opportunity to learn and cultivate himself, which made him what he was today.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to repay Shen Huai kindness, he should cherish this hard won opportunity, act seriously and be obedient.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, in this period of time, all he has experienced in the &#8220;Red Actress&#8221; group was like a baptism, polishing his mind and gradually clarifying the way forward in his mind.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this road ran another way to the plan given to him by the company. Song Yimian <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hesitated for a long time with anxiety and self-blame, until he saw the contract and suddenly remembered what Shen Huai had said to him when he signed the contract.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai said that the reason why he signed him was because he saw his potential and believed that he would become an excellent actor in the future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai also said that they are cooperative and equal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These words gave Song Yimian confidence to go on once again, and also made him able to tell Shen Huai what he really thought.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He looked up at Shen Huai, and on the other person, his face was as usual a smile, full of tolerance and encouragement.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Yimian calmed down and said: Brother Shen, the scripts selected by sister Kefei are very good, but I don&#8217;t think they are suitable for me. I think\u2026\u2026 I like to try a film like \u201cScissors\u201d. In addition, I do not want to appear in front of the camera too much outside my roles. I also want to gradually reduce the number of fan meetings and business activities in the future&#8230; &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Yimian said in an encouraging manner, then bowed his head and looked ashamed, no longer daring to look at Shen Huai.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai didn&#8217;t notice his latter sentence, but what he heard he was still surprised. &#8220;Scissors&#8221; is a highly controversial literary film this year. It not only has a large scale but also describes the uncomfortable reality and ugliness of the dark side of human nature.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The actor who played the leading role was about the same age as Song Yimian. However, with his superb acting skills and vivid description of his character, he has won unanimous praise from the industry.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai didn&#8217;t even think that someone as simple as Song Yimian would have such an idea.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But instead of refusing it directly, he asked seriously, &#8220;May I ask why? Why do you want to act in a movie like \u201cScissors\u201d?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Yimian was stunned for a moment. He didn&#8217;t expect that Shen Huai wouldn\u2019t blame him for reducing his chances of making money, nor complain that he was whimsical, but instead would patiently ask him why.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Yimian&#8217;s heart became sour and soft.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His originally tense heart also relaxed, he eased his mood and said: &#8220;I used to think that a good acting skill is that when the director said crying, you can shed tears and perfectly show everything in the script. But this time in the cast, I saw the acting skills of sister Mei and Mr. Guo, as well as brother Wei and many other seniors. They didn&#8217;t have their strength, but they let me see that a good actor makes his role alive. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He cries not because the script requires him to cry, but because the character is crying. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I remember one time when I overheard Mr. Guo and sister Mei talking, Mr. Guo said you have to forget yourself, respect your role and treat yourself as that person, personally feel his happiness, anger, sorrow and joy, experience his life, and carve his pain into your bones, so that you can play him very well.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Yimian gave a wry smile: &#8220;This remark was like a hard knock on my head, letting me start to think, I want to be an actor like sister Mei and Mr.Guo. But I know that I&#8217;m not only lacking in talent, but also in the ability to feel pain. I can&#8217;t make up for the former, but I want to try to catch on the latter. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After hearing this, Shen Huai fell into silence.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He understands Song Yimian&#8217;s pursuit that he wanted to be a good actor who will never allow himself to indulge in idol dramas with a simple plot but too thin emotion. But wanted to take the initiative to challenge more complex characters, to experience the necessary cultivation in order to become a real actor.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was also the reason why Shen Huai allowed Song Yimain to stay with the crew of \u201cRed Actress\u201d for so long. He not only hoped that Song Yimian would learn acting skills from his seniors, but also hoped that Song Yimian could learn their attitude towards acting from these seniors, which would become the greatest wealth of his acting in the future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s just that Shen Huai didn&#8217;t expect that song Yimian would go even further than he thought.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke before Song Yimian could sit down.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m glad you said that.&#8221; Shen Huai showed a smile of appreciation, &#8220;This half year of study has not been in vain, you have learned the most important thing.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Yimian was stunned, and then his original pale cheeks slowly flushed with surprise.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Shen Huai continued: &#8220;But I also want to remind you that this road is very dangerous. Many actors have been unable to come out after immersing himself into the role, resulting in tragedy. I hope you can be a good actor, but I don&#8217;t want you to be in danger either. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Yimian nodded hard and showed a bright smile: &#8220;Brother Shen, don&#8217;t worry! I will be careful! &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai watched Song Yimian leave and sighed with both relief and worry.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Mr. Huo&#8217;s assistant arrived, Shen Huai and he joined forces to get Mr. Guo into the car. Then he went upstairs to see Ye Cang, who was also drunk.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He just didn&#8217;t expect that before he reached his bedroom door, he would see Shen Heng coming out of his room. He looked fresh and refreshed, and there was no mark of the alcohol he drank.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai opened his mouth and called &#8220;Uncle&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng&#8217;s eyes fell on the door with a smile on his lips: &#8220;Are you worried?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai hesitated for a moment before nodding.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng chuckled, &#8220;He alcohol tolerance is good for you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai: &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng patted him on the shoulder: &#8220;Well, I won&#8217;t tease you anymore. Go to see him.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng said and went downstairs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Shen Huai stopped him. Looking at Shen Heng, he whispered, &#8220;Today, they didn&#8217;t mean to&#8212;. I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng understood what he was apologizing for and said with a smile: &#8220;I understand that everyone has their own secrets. I respect that. You don&#8217;t have to explain anything to me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai was not surprised that Shen Heng would say this, but he could not help saying, &#8220;Uncle, I \u2026&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng waved his hand and stopped his words: &#8220;I know what you want to say, Huai. There is space even for family members. I worry about you, which doesn&#8217;t mean that I have to control you. You have your own life and secret. You don&#8217;t need to tell me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I respect outsiders as well as my own family.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai was silent and he felt as if he was stuffed with a ball of cotton in his heart.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng patted him on the shoulder: &#8220;Well, don&#8217;t worry about it. Do whatever you want to do. If something happens, uncle will bear it for you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai who already organized his mood, heard this sentence, could not help but make a joke: &#8220;From childhood, my uncle always told me that I shouldn\u2019t grow up to be the second generation of a loser. It&#8217;s not easy.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng became surprised and said, &#8220;You can joke now?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai: &#8220;\u2026.. Have I always been an old-fashioned person in your heart? &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng laughed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai also couldn&#8217;t help laughing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng looked at Shen Huai&#8217;s relaxed expression, and his worry finally dissipated in his heart. He said positively: &#8220;Although I am still dissatisfied with Ye Cang, I can see that at least that he cares about you very much and since you have chosen him, you should go for it. If anything happens, uncle will bear it for you. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing this sentence, Shen Huai vaguely felt something: &#8220;Uncle, are you leaving?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng &#8220;En&#8221; said: &#8220;Holidays can&#8217;t last forever. Besides, the overseas affairs are almost handled so I have to start preparation of going back to China. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai was originally a little reluctant to part with him, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately cheered up: &#8220;You are going back to China?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hen Heng smiled and nodded: &#8220;Yes, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at most two months.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Heng then thought of something and said: &#8220;By the way, tell your friend that we will drink together again when I return home.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai: &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is better to say goodbye now or else Mr. Guo will cry.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: LuLu<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shen Huai learned the story from Chu Mei Bo after the event, which he didn\u2019t know if he should cry or laugh at.
