A post-apocalyptic boss aspires to dominate the entertainment industry

The long-awaited online game section finally came out, and the live broadcast room suddenly became much more lively. Although the number of barrages in the macro sense is still not as high as before, the comments of eating sugar and licking the screen are still full of the screen, and it is no longer deserted.

【Oh my goodness, this is so cool for you (dog head holding a rose)

【Ahahahahaha, this little expression of smugness with the corners of his lips raised is the same as the one in the office just now】

【So handsome, he is so handsome even when he sits casually...】

【I can't stand you little couples being so clingy (commendation)】

【It is civilized to not wear a mask! You must show your face, you must show your face, you must show your face】

【Today I am still reviewing the Demon King cut of the previous episodes. I can only say that the previous irritable black goat is completely gone and has become a proud cat head (great sadness (bushi)】

【Should I say that the CP feeling came immediately when we were at the online game party】

【Wow, I also want a warm, soft and cute bunny to lie on my back...】

The audience outside the screen stared with envy, and Liao Jingchen on the screen curled his lips and deliberately suppressed his voice into a cold straight line.

“Don’t be big, don ... "Little, get off." He said lightly.

The bunny pendant on his back snorted amidst the comments of [I put it on for you again], [Pretending to be a brother and a sister] and [You two are a perfect match].

"No." She hugged him tighter, "I'm tired."

She turned her head and leaned on Liao Jingchen's shoulder, with a soft and plump shape on her cheeks.

Liao Jingchen's bad intentions deflated, and where Jiang Rong couldn't see, his eyes flickered slightly, first with love, then with helpless indulgence, and finally kneaded into a complex tenderness full of respect.

Her self-esteem did not allow her to enjoy the convenience he gave her frankly; her attachment to him made her openly tell about her real tiredness and hard work.

He liked her undisguised dependence, and was deeply touched by her behavior of only wanting to stick to her without any substantial benefits, and his heart was moved. A soft ripple appeared.

After a while, Liao Jingchen moved suddenly, but did not throw Jiang Rong off. Instead, he stood up in this position amid her subconscious "Woo Wow?!", and his two hands naturally supported her drooping knees.

The teleportation props were placed in the game backpack, but the black goat carried his girl and walked forward step by step.

"..." Jiang Rong's cheeks flushed, and she buried her head in Liao Jingchen's neck like an ostrich.

The sound of military boots stepping on the grass was particularly clear, and there was a bit of simple and down-to-earth for no reason. The two did not speak again during the short journey. The air was filled with tacit understanding and affection. Time seemed to have traveled to the future. Compared with the lingering love period, there was a silent warmth that was unique to being married for many years.

[It would be great if time could stay at this moment forever. ]

The emotion of the barrage also This is what Liao Jingchen wanted, but reality destined him to fail.

Chekhov's gunshot came late.

Like a dormant bullet, it suddenly pierced Liao Jingchen's unguarded back.

At that time, he was still busy. The exam week was approaching. He and Jiang Rong were no less idle. Online dating was already a necessity, and offline they could only see each other during the rehearsal of the drama club.

The calendar pages turned over one by one indicated that this semester was about to end, and it also reminded Liao Jingchen that the day of his exchange abroad was getting closer. He was naturally reluctant, but unlike before, he was full of hope at this time, firmly believing that the temporary farewell was just a small prelude to a bright tomorrow.

He was full of confidence, he was far-sighted, he believed in himself and Jiang Rong, as long as the two of them were in love and worked together, as long as things developed steadily as he imagined, their future would surely be foolproof -

right?

"If you ask me, Wu Xingyang is really unlucky. The road he took is so remote. Usually, only someone who wants a midnight snack will sneak out from that path. No one takes a taxi there, so how could a car suddenly come!"

One day, the chattering of gossip reached Liao Jingchen's ears, and he stopped.

"Yes, how could it be such a coincidence? In my opinion, there must be something fishy here!"

The second voice lowered the volume and said, "Do you know? Jiang Rong is a fierce fate. It is said that she killed her own father. Wu Xingyang still wants to pursue her, so how can he meet a good thing? Isn't he killed by her!"

"What, really?"

"Really! She comes from a single-parent family, and I heard that her mother is not in good health. Look at this dead and sick, doesn't it mean that she is a-"

"When did the students of Jingyue University become full of feudal superstitions?"

The cold voice was like a sharp sword, abruptly interrupting the sarcastic slander. Several girls who were gossiping behind her back turned their heads in anger, but they didn't expect to see Liao Jingchen's face directly. They were immediately startled, and their expressions and arrogance just now disappeared.

"Liao..."

"My male god! Haha, what a coincidence, I can actually meet you here--"

Liao Jingchen had no expression on his face, and his eyes swept over their faces one by one.

"Kong Yue, a sophomore in Economics, Management and International Trade, GPA3.0, ranked 22nd in the Drama Club assessment; Wang Yilin, a freshman in English, ranked 27th in the assessment; Chen Jiayi, a sophomore in Information Engineering and Computer Science, GPA2.7, ranked 18th in the assessment; Sun Yanan, a junior in Chinese Studies in the College of Arts, GPA2.8, ranked 24th in the assessment..."

He read out the student information of the girls one by one, and his voice was so calm that it was scary.

"It's really disappointing. I saw some of you on the awards list not long ago." Liao Jingchen didn't mention a word about the specific content of their discussion. He only said, "It seems that moral education points are a rigid The data really cannot represent anything, and there is no guarantee—"

His eyes fell on the faces of the two girls who were the first to speak out and those who followed closely, pausing for a second longer on the latter, "——this student's true morals and character."

The girls all changed their faces and looked panicked.

"Senior! It's not what you think, we..."

"Goddess, listen to me, really don't get close to Jiang Rong!" But one of them was so reckless that he suddenly spoke up and said, "She's just always pretending, she'll do anything to impress, and she's not worthy of being your heroine. !she--"

The slanderous words were forced to cease.

Because a sharp gaze locked on the person who made the rude remarks.

The girl who was pinned to the spot by her gaze trembled. What came before fear was confusion: How could that legendary aristocratic gentleman, the gentle school sweetheart, show such a terrifying look?

For another moment, as if it was just an illusion, the person in front of him smiled, with the curve of his mouth as gentle as usual.

Qin Jue clicked the pause button while the ladies were happily snacking on candy.

She ignored the barrage of "Ahhhhhhh, it's so sweet to protect my wife!" ! 】and【? ? ? 】, put down the gel pen and crossed his arms, leaning on the back of the chair and silently watching the seventh episode of "Shadow Link" that was no longer playing.

I couldn't hold back this episode when I reviewed it privately before, and after watching it again, I still couldn't hold it back.

In a word, the acting is not good.

Unlike Li Jingyu's show-off, Luo Ling at least seriously expressed to Qin Jue his desire to act well - and he indeed contributed quite outstanding acting skills in the fifth episode - Qin Jue is the next kid behind this. It’s normal to have expectations.

But I have to say that Luo Ling in the seventh episode, at least in this short section, really stretched his crotch.

Qin has absolutely no idea what happened to Luo Ling during the filming of this episode, and he doesn't bother to find out the reason. Anyway, in terms of the result alone, Liao Jingchen, who "stands up to protect his wife", did not perform the cruelty of the "Jing Chen" personality at all, and that eye scene The aura was so weak that Qin Jue rolled his eyes when he saw it for the first time.

Luo Ling couldn't be ruthless at all.

I don't know if it's because of his personality, or because it's hard to change the behavior he has developed over the years, but he simply doesn't have that ruthlessness.

At the moment when Qi Wan was violently shaken out of the game in the fifth episode, Liao Jingchen, played by Luo Ling, had an expression of shock, anxiety, and anger, but this emotion was not directed towards Qi Wan, but towards the current situation. To himself.

The same was true for the subsequent game with Liao Hongjing. Liao Jingchen's suffering was more focused on himself. Although he was also dissatisfied with his father, he was more tormented by the current situation in which he was trapped and worried about the "Rong Rong" in the online game. .

Similarly, looking further back, when there was no sign of revealing each other's vests, Liao Jingchen tore off a little disguise in front of Jiang Rong, revealing his ambition and danger. Jiang Rong was also stunned by his different temperament from usual. At that time, Although Liao Jingchen had the "Jing Chen" flavor, he still did not attack Jiang Rong harshly. He only showed a little bit of his true self. It was an objective display rather than a subjective attack.

All of the above are logical in the play. Whether it is an inward performance or an objective display, as a choice of interpretation method, they are not obtrusive in the drama environment at that time, so the secret is not revealed, and it cannot be seen too much. It feels so inconsistent and the connection is quite natural.

But the seventh episode is different. What the seventh episode wants is "exposed". Liao Jingchen was already deeply in love with Jiang Rong since he had made a private life-long decision. How could he not be angry when someone slandered the object of his affection in front of his face and mentioned words such as "not worthy"?

If it were Qin Jue, not only would her slanted eyes be full of ferocity, but she would also suddenly arch her palms at that moment, an action that she subconsciously wanted to make but stopped abruptly.

Liao Jingchen has a bad temper.

He went from being an irritable black goat to being able to pretend to be an old fox. That was because the person he faced was Jiang Rong, and his hard shell was softened by the warmth of the little sun. But this does not mean that the violent part of his temperament is gone. So completely gone.

Rather, it is precisely because he has gradually become accustomed to the feeling of "not wearing a mask" that it is easier for Liao Jingchen to show his dark and vicious side in reality than before.

As for the girl who was frightened by the slander in front of her, and Liao Jingchen's subsequent change of expression, Qin Jue would also laugh, but like the situation at the Golden Orchid Award Ceremony, the eyes on the upper half of the face and the mouth on the lower half of the face were emotionally separated. , with a false and unmistakable smile on his lips, and a calm, cold gaze in his eyes.

The message this conveys is: a decent expression is the dignity I should have, and the subsequent reckoning is the end you deserve.

Because the next scene was transferred to the office, Liao Jingchen put a stack of evaluation documents on the table. The content on it was detailed and appropriate. He almost compared it to the self-recommendation letters of the students and refuted it word for word. In addition, the results with clear trends remained in place. The data line chart showing a setback or significant regression has sufficient and convincing reasons. Not to mention removing these people's names from the list of award judges and even drama club members on the spot, a "observation to be determined" is definitely more than enough.

However, Luo Ling's acting skills failed to support this scene. His eyes were not fierce enough when they should be fierce, and not cold enough when they should be cold. Liao Jingchen's anger was basically supported by the dubbing and the reactions of the girls in the play, which made the plot become: being maliciously bullied by the supporting role, Liao Jingchen looked at her with a serious look, and immediately showed his usual gentle smile.

Then he turned around and dealt with all those who said bad things about Jiang Rong behind his back.

How to say it, it's not bad, but the style was lowered by two degrees, becoming very low.

After showing "you pissed me off" and then taking action, the audience had a psychological expectation, thinking: "Sure enough, I knew he would hold a grudge! The minor supporting characters didn't work hard and only knew how to steal the Cricket Roll Queen heroine, and now they have reaped the rewards!"

And after a soft response and then revenge behind the scenes, the audience will be confused, from "Ah, just say a few words and it's over?" to "Oh oh, I still find a reason to teach them a lesson", and the viewing experience is a little more mysterious "Uh, it's just dealing with a few minions, is it necessary to pretend like this? I don't know whether to say that the male protagonist is too cowardly or that he has been marinated with hypocrisy in order to maintain his character, it's a bit disgusting".

Qin Jue's comments are not groundless. She did see complaints about this episode on E Station. In the complaints, there are people scolding the screenwriter for setting up this plot in a ridiculous and unreasonable way, and there are also people who boldly open the microphone and say that Liao Jingchen's face is very unpleasant. Only a very few people see through it and grasp the most critical acting problem.

After all, Liao Jingchen was not a good person. He had already raised Luo Mingxin to be his own "little Liao Jingchen". At this time, it was nothing to pull down a few students who were not worthy of awards or staying in the drama club out of 70% selfishness and 30% objective facts.

The difference is only in the form of presentation.

It may be cruel to say this, but "good drama can be broken", which is the same for any character.

Maybe Qin Jue stared at the screen expressionlessly for too long, some Qingqing carefully tapped the barrage to ask [what's wrong], and some CP fans put on filters and started to eat sugar in their minds because Qin Jue paused the close-up of Luo Ling.

For a few seconds, Qin Jue did weigh whether he should hold back his words. She had already finished filming, and her relationship with the drama "Heart Shadow Link" ended here. It seemed that she had no position to express her opinion, but...

"Not fierce enough." Forget it, I can't help it.

After cursing this sentence, Qin Jue continued to play the seventh episode.

The following plot continues the tone of "not bad if you say it's bad, not that good if you say it's good". It can be seen that the screenwriter wants Liao Jingchen to show his strength in protecting his wife, and to shape the characters and increase the plot by describing the contradictions. As expected, this group of girls got a lesson and turned around to put the blame on Jiang Rong, from crickets behind her back to targeting and making things difficult in person.

The same thing, it's not impossible, but doesn't it seem that Liao Jingchen is protecting Jiang Rong in vain...

[The design of the vicious female supporting role not looking for the male lead but the female lead is also very classic-_-|| When will we stop writing about this kind of mentally retarded female competition?]

[As soon as I saw this development, I knew that the other two screenwriters were on the line]

[If you don't write about conflicts, you can't write stories like this]

[It's so funny, we have to give you some lame things, so that you know you are watching "Heart Shadow Link".jpg]

Amid the scattered complaints, an investigation report was placed in front of Liao Jingchen, which also made the lovers who watched the seventh episode cry out after realizing it.

——"If you ask me, Wu Xingyang is really unlucky. The road he took is so remote. Usually, only someone who wants a midnight snack will sneak out from that path. No one takes a taxi there, so how could a car suddenly come!"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Liao Jingchen did not miss this sentence and found some clues from it.

He originally thought that Wu Xingyang was indeed injured accidentally, so he was not jealous of Jiang Rong's help. He also won a deferral for Wu Xingyang's final exam to reduce his burden.

Part of the good deeds of "Liao Jingchen" who cares for his classmates is the temperament of "Jingchen" - Wu Xingyang likes Jiang Rong, but Liao Jingchen and Jiang Rong have been in touch in their own little world. He understands her, trusts her, and is loved by her wholeheartedly. He doesn't care about jealousy at all, and never worries that Wu Xingyang, who has been sternly rejected by Jiang Rong, will affect their relationship.

Even Liao Jingchen felt a little sorry for Wu Xingyang, not because of the girl they both loved, but because Wu Xingyang was indeed a respectable and powerful opponent in the drama club.

Wu Xingyang suddenly suffered a disaster, and the competition for the male lead was no longer suspenseful. Out of his selfish desire to act with Jiang Rong, Liao Jingchen couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but out of his own dignity and love for acting, he felt that he had won unfairly. In the end, he could only sigh in a complex way: fate is a trick, but unfortunately, even luck is not on Wu Xingyang's side in this matter.

But is it really Wu Xingyang who was tricked by fate?

Is the luck he thought of really luck?

The cold and simple folder was like a verdict, completely stripping Liao Jingchen's elegant, decent, and easy smile from his face.

"How can such a coincidence happen?"

--"Wow, is this true? He is worthy of being called Liao Shen. God is chasing him and favoring him!"

"There must be something fishy going on!"

--"Such a difficult project was even won by the president. People who are luckier than you are also more capable than you. It's incredible!"

One "coincidence" after another rewound rapidly in Liao Jingchen's mind, just like the day when he sat in Liao Hongjing's study, the string of reason became tighter and tighter with the sliding of the mouse wheel until it broke.

Have you forgotten? A voice sounded in his heart. Have you never encountered such a "coincidence" before?

The room was open and bright, Liao Jingchen turned his back to the sun, his eyes were like a pair of black holes that could not focus light, and like two empty flesh shells after the eyeballs were gouged out.

He mechanically flipped through the documents. Jingyue University had a cooperation with the hospital where Wu Xingyang was hospitalized. He was the president of the student union. It was not difficult to obtain information about the condition under the banner of caring for his classmates - not to mention that he was a member of the Liao family, which was even simpler - similarly, it was extremely easy to ask the school newspaper to call a student reporter to interview Wu Xingyang and get first-hand information from the person involved. The results came in a few days.

"I came home late for personal reasons", "I was accidentally scratched by a private car", "The injury is not serious, I just temporarily lost the ability to move freely", "No sequelae"...

"The owner of the car did not flee", "Yes, he is a good person. He sent me to the hospital at the time and paid all the medical expenses", "I have never stayed in such a high-end ward in my life"...

"Uh, it's not drunk driving! It seems that he is just a novice on the road", "It must not be intentional. I have no grudges against him. What good can he do for me if he hits me", "In fact, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. This big brother told me that if I want to go to his company for internship after I recover from my injuries, haha"...

Using a lot of sweetness to make up for a small amount of bitterness, the victim not only does not feel hard, but even thinks that he has taken advantage and feels secretly happy.

Such a way of handling things that controls the overall situation, grasps people's hearts, and is comprehensive and appropriate is more than familiar.

Liao Jingchen's breath almost froze.

The truth has not been verified for the second time, but the characteristics of the behavior are so clear that a name is about to come out of his throat.

"Why..." Liao Jingchen murmured.

Didn't his plan to consolidate his prestige with a "high-profile and grand farewell" convince him?

Didn't he get permission from him to participate in the drama club's annual stage play?

Didn't he... win that painstaking and treacherous game?

The documents in his hand seemed to be silently mocking him.

Liao Jingchen almost vomited.

He closed his eyes hard, his fingers trembling, and the action of putting down the folder was like running away, with a sense of embarrassment and panic.

The night swallowed up the sky, revealing a crescent moon that was eaten up to the point of being almost gone.

At three o'clock in the morning, the lights in Liao's house were turned off, and a figure named Liao Jingchen quietly floated out from the second floor, walking into Liao Hongjing's study like a remnant soul.

Turn on the computer, enter the password, and search for information.

The truth came so easily, and it was even more cruel and funny.

A photo, in which Wu Xingyang is lying on a hospital bed, sleeping soundly, with a ruddy face, and only his right leg is suspended. He looks like a patient who is not in much pain.

The tone of the Feixun message under the photo is respectful, and it seems that one can see a slightly bowing driver in the photo.

He said: [Do you think this level of injury is okay? ]

Liao Hongjing replied, "Enough."

Enough.

He is always like this, knowing clearly when to go deep and when to stop, like a puppeteer with outstanding skills, and also like a children's educator who has always combined theory and practice brilliantly - so in front of him, children are always children.

Liao Jingchen suddenly wanted to laugh.

He had a lot to say, and countless intense emotions were surging in his chest and throat. He wanted to be hysterical, and wanted to rush into the master bedroom right now to grab the man from the bed by the collar, and ask him like crazy, "Why don't you believe me?!", "Why do you control me to this extent!", and - "Stop loving me in your disgusting way!"

But reality smiled and reminded him: Look, you look like a child who sneaked into his father's room late at night to play on the computer.

Liao Jingchen pressed the shutdown button like a zombie to get rid of the traces of his presence.

He walked upstairs erratically, the clock ticked, and every step he took, every second hand moved a grid, the stairs under his feet and the surrounding scene changed, turning into the past of Liao Hongjing and him in those years, every piece, all fragments of love.

He is the most favored youngest son of the Liao family.

He is loved and expected.

He is carefully cultivated by his father.

Liao Jingchen plunged into his room.

His eyes went dark, and he felt the world was spinning. He had so many things he wanted to say, but Liao Hongjing's identity as a "father" seemed to have privileges, and all his words and actions were confined to the category of "children's ignorance".

"Didn't you agree? Didn't you nod when I said I wanted to act in a stage play?" - Like a child throwing a tantrum.

"Don't you have confidence in my own ability? Do you have to use your power to "cover" me?" - Like a child making trouble.

"Can you please stop caring about me! I will definitely live a better life without you!" - Like a child who doesn't know how to be grateful and can't sympathize with the painstaking efforts of his parents.

Child.

No matter what he said or did, in his eyes, in the eyes of his mother, and in the eyes of the Liao family, he was just a willful, childish, and irritable child.

Liao Jingchen held his head with both hands and fell to the carpet with a thud.

His bedroom was spacious, decorated in a luxurious and stylish way, like a beautiful bird cage.

The captive bird curled up, and the carpet with exquisite texture was like a painting, bearing his weight and circling his outline.

So the bird's roar sounded like chirping in such a beautiful background. (End of this chapter)
