"No...not my girlfriend, Mom, don't talk nonsense, just...roommate, just roommate!"
Shen Mu was a little incoherent by this sudden turn of events, but Ye Lan next to him was still snickering and didn't even come up with an explanation at this time.
"Roommate? You all live together?"
Father Shen's voice came out from the phone, and he said somewhat solemnly: "Son, although you are both adults, you have to take responsibility for some things you have done. We, the old Shen family, do not want to start in chaos and then give up. !”
"Begin with chaos and end with abandonment? Dad, where did you go?"
Shen Mu really wanted to throw the phone down. Why did he become a bad guy who always gave up in just a few words?
"Son, bring your girlfriend back to see you when you have time..."
"Ah, um... Dad, Mom, I still have something to do, so I'll hang up first!"
Seeing that the building was extremely crooked, Shen Mu could only run away. He didn't even bother to pay attention to what his parents had not finished saying on the phone, and hung up the phone in a hurry.
My parents called me, and they were obviously talking about being banned. Why did they feel no regrets at the end of the conversation, and instead became very excited and concerned about another thing?
"Sister Lan, can you please stop interrupting when I talk on the phone from now on?"
Shen Mu glanced at Ye Lan who was gloating about his misfortune with some resentment. He knew that the other party was mostly joking, but this would make his parents misunderstand.
"Aha? I didn't say she was your girlfriend, it was my uncle and aunt who made it up on their own!"
Ye Lan gave a sly smile, which made Shen Mu finally remember that the other party seemed to have really only said two sentences, and then it was his parents' own crooked building.
What is all this about?
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Sister Lan, you should prepare for the actors first!"
Shen Mu shook his head helplessly. He felt that if he stayed with Ye Lan any longer, he might have to continue to be embarrassed, so it was better to do business first.
"All right!"
Ye Lan did seem to be a little unfinished, and when she walked to the door, she suddenly turned around and asked: "Little Twilight, when are you going to take me home to see you?"
"you……"
Shen Mu was stunned, and then he saw Ye Lan closing the door and swaying out of the door, which made him dumbfounded.
"Jingle Bell!"
Shen Mu was staring blankly at the door when his cell phone suddenly rang again. After picking it up and looking at it, a wry smile appeared on his face again.
"Hello? Is this Director Chen? Hello, hello!"
Shen Mu was no stranger to the person who called.
He was the director of directing at Longcheng Film Academy, and he was also considered his boss. He valued him very much during his school days.
However, after graduation, the two parties rarely contacted each other, but Shen Mu knew that Director Chen still had high expectations for him, and always hoped that he could produce a good work.
This time in "Endless Glory", Shen Mu originally thought that he could give Director Chen a surprise, but he didn't expect that something like this happened now, and he didn't know what to say.
"Shen Mu, I've seen everything on the Internet, aren't you going to explain it?"
As the dean of the film department of Longcheng Film Academy, Chen Mingsheng has always been known for his strictness, which is every film student's nightmare.
There was not much blame in Chen Mingsheng's tone. Maybe it was his understanding of Shen Mu's character, or maybe it was his confidence in his own vision.
He is an extremely rational person. He will not make a conclusion casually before he understands the truth of the matter. He must first listen to what the parties involved have to say.
Chen Mingsheng has taught countless students, some of whom have even become famous directors in the film and television industry. Among them, Shen Mu is just a relatively outstanding rising star.
But Chen Mingsheng undoubtedly had a deep impression on this student.
Whether it was Shen Mu's grades during school or his graduation work, everything made his eyes shine. He felt that this was a rising star with a bright future.
Later, when Endless Glory became popular, Chen Mingsheng naturally paid attention to it. He was happy for Shen Mu for a while and felt that his vision was as vicious as ever.
But since last night, the direction of the wind has gradually changed.
First, it was revealed on the Internet that Shen Mu had plagiarized the script, and then early this morning, the director's signature on the movie disappeared.
Chen Mingsheng felt that the situation was serious and felt that it was necessary to call him personally to inquire about the situation.
If this is true, then I'm afraid the college will have to make some reactions.
"Director Chen, I didn't do those things, I was slandered!"
Shen Mu still respects this dean very much. Maybe when he was in school, he thought he was too strict, but after he got out of society, he realized that it was all for his own good.
"Last night at the celebration party of "Endless Glory"..."
Since Chen Mingsheng represents the college, Shen Mu cannot be as perfunctory as he was with his parents.
Now I talked about the key points of what happened last night, and there was a brief silence on the other side of the phone.
"Is that so?"
A moment later, Chen Mingsheng's voice sounded, and he was heard saying: "Shen Mu, your incident has had a great impact on the Internet and has attracted great attention from the college. You must be mentally prepared!"
"Although you say that you were slandered now, the hospital will not believe your words and will definitely start investigating the matter!"
Chen Mingsheng was as serious as ever and continued: "Once it is found out that this matter is true, I will not be able to protect you, and even your student status may be revoked by the school. Did you know?"
"Director Chen, if you are upright, you are not afraid of slanting shadows. You can go and investigate, but I want you to clear my name as soon as possible!"
Shen Mu had a very upright attitude. Originally, he wanted to use legal means to clear his name, but that would take too much time and energy.
Now that the school has intervened, it is an unexpected surprise.
"Just take care of yourself!"
Chen Mingsheng's serious voice ended and he hung up the phone. Shen Mu walked to the window and looked at the people coming and going outside, but did not move for a long time.
"If there wasn't a system, I'm afraid that as a little director, I would really be suppressed by you and never be able to turn around for the rest of my life, right?"
There was a light of hatred in Shen Mu's eyes. If he didn't care much yesterday, what happened today brought a huge change to his mentality.
Because Mrs. Wang's actions have not only affected Shen Mu himself, but also people who are related to him, including his parents who are far away in his hometown.
When I think about my reputation in school plummeting, from being a star student to being reviled by the whole school, even if the school can finally clear my name, this period of time must be dark.
As for my parents, I have to suffer cynicism from some neighbors.
Now is the Internet age. Who doesn’t have someone who knows how to use the Internet?
If Shen Mu didn't have an awakening system, didn't get the script from the Wolf Fang List, and was just an ordinary young director, then his identity as a director would almost be parted ways with him.
"Since you are going to do something so ruthless, then I can only fight back forcefully!"
Putting these melancholy thoughts aside, Shen Mu knew that there was only one thing he could do now, and that was to take pictures of the Wolf Fang List so that he could slap some people in the face.
After the murmur fell, Shen Mu picked up the phone in his hand and whispered: "Although I know it may be useless, I still give it a try. Maybe a friend in need is a friend indeed?"
"beep……"
The first number Shen Mu made was none other than Jiang Chao, the male lead in "Endless Glory". Now, through this drama, he has successfully been promoted from a third-tier actor to a top second-tier actor.
It can be said that Endless Glory is Jiang Chao's springboard. Based on his performance in the drama, he will definitely have many film appointments in the future.
From then on, Jiang Chao would also switch from picking him in previous scripts to a strong state where he picked scripts.
To be honest, Shen Mu is still very optimistic about Jiang Chao as an actor.
The other person is handsome and recognizable, and his acting skills are far superior to those of those with low traffic. He has been prepared to cooperate again.
"Hello?"
"Hey, is this Jiang Chao? I'm Shen Mu!"
A voice just rang on the phone, and Shen Mu couldn't wait to answer. It wasn't until he finished speaking that he suddenly realized that the person speaking on the other end of the phone was a female voice.
"Oh oh oh, it's Director Shen. I'm Jiang Chao's assistant. He's currently auditioning for a set of commercials. How about I ask him to call you after he finishes?"
The other party's tone was quite polite. With Jiang Chao's success thanks to "Endless Glory", it should be very reasonable for him to accept a few big-name advertisements, right?
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Since the real owner is not here, Shen Mu can't talk too much with a little assistant. What if she really is filming an advertisement and can't get away?
…………
In a villa!
"Did you hang up?"
Jiang Chao, who was paralyzed on the sofa, glanced at the assistant who looked a little embarrassed and asked softly.
In fact, he already knew that the other party had hung up the phone, otherwise he would have been too embarrassed to speak.
The assistant nodded, while Jiang Chao sighed slightly and murmured: "Director Shen, I'm sorry, I still want to continue to work in the film industry!"
To be honest, Jiang Chao was still a little grateful to Shen Mu.
It was the endless glory that made him, an actor who was wandering in the second and third tiers, suddenly reach the top of the hot second tier.
If there was no such thing as Mrs. Wang, Jiang Chao would be eager to collaborate with Shen Mu on a few more dramas.
At last night's celebration banquet, he was also the most enthusiastic one.
It's a pity that Mrs. Wang's attitude represents the attitude of most of the film industry.
At this time, if anyone dares to cooperate with Shen Mu, they are going against Mrs. Wang, or even against Capital.
Now, only the director Shen Mu has been removed from Infinite Glory. The names of these actors are still hanging there, and it doesn't have much impact on them at all.
Even after the director disappeared, his name Jiang Chao undoubtedly appeared in the most prominent position in the movie. Everyone would recognize his acting skills and his future future would be limitless.
Until now, Jiang Chao still couldn't figure out how Shen Mu dared to refuse Mrs. Wang. He was gambling with his own future.
Now it's fine. A great career as a director ended overnight. In Jiang Chao's eyes, there was no way that Shen Mu would ever make a comeback.
People who are destined to change careers like this will never have any contact with each other in the future!
