Under the clouds

Chapter 24

"Crack!" Ren Qi sat behind the screen and looked at Fang Mu in the camera, and then said, "It's time for work, I'll be here today."

After he finished speaking, every staff member present breathed a sigh of relief.

Today I can finally get off work and rest.

Fang Mu went back to the lounge, but he didn't expect Ren Yi to be there, because most of the scenes shot tonight were Fang Mu's scenes, he thought that Ren Yi should have left early, but he didn't expect that he was still in the lounge, with his hands I have the script in my hand, I don't know if I am reciting the lines.

The movement of Fang Mu coming in seemed to disturb him, and Ren Yi put down the script in his hand.

Fang Mu walked to his rest chair and sat down, reaching for the thermos cup on the table.

Unexpectedly, after getting it in his hand, he unscrewed the lid and found that the inside was almost bottomed out, and Zang Lanbai was not in the lounge at this time.

"He was called away by the assistant director." Ren Yi looked up at him with a somewhat searching look.

The assistant director is Yu Yan, I don't know what he would do if he called Zang Lanbai away.

Fang Mu was tired from filming for a whole day. With such high-intensity work, he didn't feel tired when he was on the set, but when he stepped out and relaxed, the exhaustion seemed to hit him irresistibly.

"En." Fang Mu responded in a low voice.

Ren Yi watched Fang Mu unscrew the lid of the thermos cup without taking a sip, so he couldn't help but ask him, "Is there no water in the cup?" Before Fang Mu could answer, he ordered his assistant: "Xiao Liu, Go get him a drink."

Fang Mu put the covered cup back to its original position without raising his eyes, and said, "No need."

This time, Ren Yi's assistant couldn't help but cast his gaze on the other leading actor of "Moon in the Bay". Not to mention the background behind Ren Yi, just saying that he is now popular in the circle and is gaining momentum. It's rare to see a colleague who doesn't give him face in person.

And it was when Ren Yi took the initiative to talk to the other party.

Ren Yi was also aroused by Fang Mu's action of not giving the steps, and immediately blurted out: "Why, it's not the water poured by Zang Lanbai, don't you drink it?"

Since Fang Mu joined the film crew and worked with Ren Yi, except for filming on the set, he did not communicate or contact Ren Yi at all during rest periods, but he did not only treat Ren Yi like this, he treated other staff That's right, and Ren Yi is the one who checked his past, so he understands and tolerates Fang Mu's behavior of avoiding people, including some resistance to establishing interpersonal relationships.

But today's scene still made Ren Yi a little bit angry, because he could actually faintly sense that Fang Mu actually had some hostility towards him, although he didn't show it.

After thinking about it for a while, he found out what was tricky, and in the end he seemed to feel that he was making fun of himself, so he pretended to be generous and said: "Forget it."

It seemed that he was putting on an air of unwillingness to argue with Fang Mu.

At first I thought it was over, but Fang Mu said in a cold voice after hearing him say this, "I'm not thirsty."

The script in Ren Yi's hand was placed on the table, and he sat up uncontrollably, his tone seemed to be filled with emotion: "Forget me asking you too much, I'm so kind as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

The assistant Xiao Liu broke out in cold sweat from fright. They didn't know these two words, and the two of them choked up like this.

"What kind of vinegar are you eating? Zang Lanbai and I have been together for many years. I advise you not to bring your emotions to work." Ren Yi looked at the chair with his head down, looking thin Fang Mu, feeling unspeakable in his heart, felt angry again: "It's like I'm bullying you."

"After all, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade. Why didn't I see that Zanglan Cypress had a hobby of being a nanny?" Ren Yi looked at the bag that Zanglan Cypress carried in front of Fang Mu. There were many things that Fang Mu needed in it. Daily necessities, some bottles and jars that Ren Yi had accidentally seen.

"You are not Mr. Zang's first love, are you?" Fang Mu suddenly retorted, and raised his eyes to Ren Yi, his eyes were full of vigilance: "No one will let you continue riding."

Fang Mu has always shown the image of shrinking in front of the crowd and avoiding the crowd. Ren Yi did not expect him to talk back to him like this.

He almost laughed angrily: "Why have you never seen such a sharp-tongued appearance in front of him, it's only when he's around that he's so pitiful."

"It doesn't matter." Fang Mu paused for a moment, and then said in a more emphatic tone: "It's none of your business."

At the moment when the stalemate had intensified, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and it was Zang Lanbai who came back.

"What's the matter?" Zang Lanbai looked at the two people who were facing each other with an uneasy expression on their faces.

After seeing Zang Lanbai, Fang Mu said to Ren Yi very suddenly: "I'm sorry." He looked at Zang Lanbai again, as if observing his expression.

Ren Yi was stunned, as if Fang Mu was changing his face during the performance. Before he could finish his astonishment, Fang Mu directly bowed in front of him: "I'm sorry, I said something wrong."

Zang Lanbai looked slowly back and forth between the two of them, and finally walked up to Fang Mu, took his bowing hand, and dragged him away.

It wasn't until he got back in the car that Zang Lanbai realized that he didn't take the bag, so he let Fang Mu get in the car and closed the door, and he went back to get it.

It's just that it took too long to go back this time, 5 minutes away, and Zanglanbai came back after 10 minutes.

Fang Mu felt a little uneasy, not knowing what Ren Yi would say to Zang Lanbai.

In fact, he knew that he shouldn't face Ren Yi who offered to be nice to him with that attitude at the beginning.

But he just couldn't control it. People like him in the mud pile were crushed and trampled. Seeing Ren Yi, who is superior in all aspects and lucky, he will compare his misfortune even more. .

He's jealous of Ren Yi, that's undeniable.

He couldn't even control himself rationally, Ren Yi's background, his background conditions, his past with Zang Lanbai.

Just like what he said, Zang Lanbai at that time would definitely not be what he is now, with a busy and hard-working appearance, all because Fang Mu couldn't leave people by his side. He even returned to the lounge after work and saw that there was no water in the glass , I would rather be thirsty than wait for Zanglan cypress to pour.

What will Zang Lanbai and Ren Yi look like when they are together? The topic of discussion between them may be another world that Fang Mu has never touched in his life.

The car was driving in the direction of home, and Fang Mu looked at Zang Lanbai from time to time, thinking that he would ask him something, but until the two of them returned to the community, Zang Lanbai didn't ask him.

After that day, Ren Yi and Fang Mu reached a tacit understanding that they were filming and working when they were filming, and they treated each other as nothing when they were not filming.

Because of Ren Yi's temperament, he also disdains to use any small stumbling block for the other party because of this little verbal dispute.

By the end of the year when "Moon in the Half Bay" was filmed, Fang Mu's Weibo fans had slowly grown to 20.

November [-]th is Fang Mu's birthday. On that day, Zang Lanbai secretly planned a fan meeting for him, and invited a few of Fang Yumu's fans many years ago.

This can be described as a big surprise, and Zang Lanbai on the production team has already greeted him in advance.

When Ren Yi found out later, he curled his lips. This surprise was very in line with Zang Lanbai's previous style of doing things.

I always like to create some romantic surprises for the other party in love, as if I like to see the other party moved to tears.

The crew of the crew were very cooperative that day, and cheered unexpectedly for the early termination of work, pretending to think that Ren Qi was showing mercy.

Zang Lanbai drove him away from the set, and when he went out, a fine drizzle fell in the sky.

This is harmless, Fang Mu was sitting in the car blowing on the heater, distracted by the light raindrops falling from the window, and Zang Lanbo next to him drove the car in the opposite direction from home, ready to take him to meet the surprise.

The rain was very light, and it might stop soon. The movie went much smoother than expected, as if everything was going in a good direction.

Fang Mu, who was sitting in the car, hadn't noticed that Zang Lanbai had taken a different path than before, and was still struggling with whether he should ask him to buy a small cupcake at the cake shop on the roadside.

I don't say it's my birthday, I just say I want to eat.

At that time, neither of the two of them would have imagined that something completely beyond their expectations would happen this night.

When the car stopped, Fang Mu was still in a daze. He didn't expect to arrive so soon. He raised his eyes and found that it was a hotel.

"Why are you here?" Fang Mu's tone was filled with secret expectations.

"Celebrate your birthday." Zang Lanbai smiled and said an answer that did not disappoint Fang Mu.

When Fang Mu pushed open the door of the prepared banquet hall, he saw balloons all over the wall and heard the cheers of many people.

Fang Mu was brought to the stage by Zang Lanbai. The screen on the stage was full of photos of handwritten birthday wishes, forming a heart.

He walked to the screen step by step, and saw every blessing card suddenly enlarged.

At that moment, he didn't even dare to breathe, as if he was afraid of accidentally breaking some fragile dream.

He turned his head and looked at the audience. There were about forty people in the audience, and some girls were holding banners and lights in front of them.

"These are all here to celebrate my birthday?" Fang Mu's voice was trembling, and when he asked Zang Lanbai, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Zang Lanbai nodded, and put his hand on his back: "Don't be afraid, these are your fans, how about saying hello to everyone?"

Fang Mu took over the microphone and stood there, his hands and feet were cold, his head was hot, his eyes swept down like a drum: "I..."

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he could speak.

Below, some fans started to take the lead in shouting: "Come on! Fang Yumu!"

Fang Mu burst into tears, as if he thought that he would never hear this name again in his life, but he never thought that he would come back to them as an actor again.

"Hi everyone... thank you, it's really... long time no see." Fang Mu's eyes were red, and it was extremely difficult to say a simple sentence.

People began to applaud below, as if some people came here, just listening to him say such a simple sentence, they were already very satisfied, and Fang Mu encouraged him very generously.

The birthday party was hosted by Zang Lanbai. Fang Mu heard fans singing happy birthday to him on stage, and the hotel staff rolled out a three-story high cake in due course.

The cake stopped in front of Fang Mu, and Zang Lanbai handed him the knife for cutting the cake.

"Happy birthday!!! Fang Yumu!"

The people in the audience shouted, Fang Mu wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand, smiled at the audience, then raised his hand and cut the cake with a knife.

The moment he raised the knife and dropped it, the cell phone in Zang Lanbai's pocket, who was standing aside and also smiling, suddenly vibrated.

His cell phone was already on silent when he came in, and at such a pass, it was impossible for him to answer the call, so he ignored the cell phone and let it vibrate in his pocket.

But I didn't expect that the caller was quite persistent, and the vibration continued within a second after it stopped.

Music began to play in the banquet hall, and some short videos of blessings shot by fans were playing on the screen.

Zang Lanbai put his hand into his pocket, wanting to retreat to the edge of the stage and take it out to see who it is. If he fights so persistently, maybe there is something urgent.

When he stepped back, he inadvertently glanced down the stage, and suddenly found that several fans in the crowd who were filming had stopped their movements, and the expressions on their faces had changed.

A bad premonition emerged in Zang Lanbai's heart. He took out his mobile phone and found that the vibrating mobile phone was not because of one person's continuous calls, but different calls at the same time.

Luo Yan's, Ren Qi's, Yu Wei...

Zang Lanbai pressed the answer button of the number that just came in, and Luo Yan's voice came from inside.

"Zang Lanbai! Look at Weibo!"

Zang Lanbai gave a "thud" in his heart, he hung up instantly, then clicked on Weibo, and found a lot of nude photos of Fang Mu and some pornographic videos that were not coded, only the other party was coded, Fang Mu's face was completely exposed.

The scale of the photos is too large, and they are harmonized every minute, but the speed of dissemination is very fast. Some people have saved them and are trying their best to share them.

The bad premonition that Zang Lanbai raised a second ago was fully realized. He turned off the phone screen, looked at the back of Fang Mu who was still bending over to cut the cake, and wanted to share it with fans, took a breath, and lifted his Rubbing his face with his hands, he couldn't utter a word for a while.

Some of the fans in the audience had already seen it, and it didn't take a few minutes for the crowd to go from whispering to an uproar.

Only Fang Mu was still at a loss. He was walking towards the stage with a cake in his hand. He just reached out and handed it to a fan in the first row. The next moment, he saw that the other party changed his face for some reason. hit.

Zang Lanbai stepped forward and grabbed Fang Mu. Fang Mu was staggered, and the cake smashed his face.

"Damn it! How blind!"

"It's so dirty... This video is full of men, it seems that this is not a..."

"I didn't expect him to be such a person. After disappearing for so many years, he went to do this?"

"Listen to his explanation...I don't believe it...This is a photo of P!"

The voices from the audience began to come, Fang Mu blinked his red eyes after holding back tears, as if he couldn't understand the meaning conveyed by those voices at all.

The scene quickly became chaotic, and some uncontrollable emotions still rushed to the stage, throwing things on the stage.

Zang Lanbai grabbed Fang Mu, who was already frozen, and led him away from the stage. The staff soon came in to control the chaotic scene.

There was a lot of yelling and crying, and Fang Mu seemed to be thrown into a black box suddenly, and he couldn't see anything except the noisy voice.

It started to rain harder and harder.

In the box upstairs of the hotel, Zang Lanbai put his arms around Fang Mu, who was completely unresponsive, and while stroking his unknowingly trembling back, said softly: "It's all right...it's all right..."

A long time passed before the tear that had lingered for a long time slipped out of Fang Muzhi's staring eyes.

"Did it...was it... sent..." Fang Mu's isolated emotions began to slowly impact his vulnerable mental state. He gasped violently, crying, and even asked incompletely. He couldn't accept it. , Every word that was asked seemed to delay him.

Zang Lanbai said over and over again, tirelessly: "It's okay, everything will pass. Trust me, trust me, please, leave everything to me, just like you always do..."

It was very late, and the commotion downstairs had gradually subsided, but Zang Lanbai was still worried. He wrapped Fang Mu tightly and walked into the underground garage from the staff passage.

When the car drove out, he found another girl squatting at the door of the hotel.

It was raining heavily outside, so she stayed at the door the whole time, as if she didn't bring an umbrella, and she didn't leave with other partners. She had a light sign with the words Fang Yumu in her hand.

"Wait..." Fang Mu, who was hoarse, suddenly said.

Three minutes later, Zang Lanbai got out of the car, walked to the door of the hotel, and handed him an umbrella.

The girl didn't answer, she just looked up at Zang Lanbo, then turned her gaze to their car, as if she was trying to determine Fang Mu's location, but she could actually see through the blackout glass in such a dim environment. The possibility of Fang Mu is zero.

Fortunately, she was not very persistent, she quickly looked away.

The moment Zang Lanbai and the other party met their eyes, they suddenly felt very familiar, as if she had seen this girl somewhere before.

For a moment in his memory, Zang Lanbai remembered that she was the girl he met when he and Fang Mu went to the concert at the end of the concert. She bumped into Fang Mu and asked him if he was Fang Yumu.

"why?"

Zang Lanbai heard the question from a girl with red eyes who seemed to have cried a lot.

"Would you believe me when I said he was forced?" Zang Lanbai replied, and he continued: "He has endured pain that is different from ordinary people, and only then did he stand in front of you again."

"Forced?" The girl seemed to be trying to restrain her emotions: "Who dares to do this!?"

Zang Lanbai was silent, so what if he talked to the other party more.

Just when Zang Lanbai reached out to hand the other party an umbrella again, and was about to turn around and leave, he heard the other party say, "I trust him."

"Tell him I trust him."

The girl repeated, with a firm tone, her chest rose and fell irregularly: "No one can do such evil things without paying any price!"

After the words fell, Zang Lanbai saw the girl turning around and walking towards the back of the rain curtain without hesitation.

It turned out that she wasn't hiding from the rain, she was waiting for Fang Mu, and wanted to get an answer from Fang Mu. Now she got the result from Zang Lanbai, so she left without hesitation.

Even Zang Lanbai would remember that scene many years later.

The girl walked into the rain, showing a somewhat lonely and courageous back. The light sign in her hand was hanging down beside her, like a sharp dragon-slaying sword, against which the raindrops lit up by neon lights around her were somewhat murderous. steaming.

She could have used the sign to cover her head from the rain, but she didn't.

Zang Lanbai remembered that on the light board in her hand were two pink hearts holding the words Fang Yumu.

At that time, no one thought, including Zang Lanbai, that such a girl who seemed to have left in a rainy night in a mess would cause a huge change in the circle later on.

Like the first flap of the wings in the Butterfly Effect.
