Evil Duo of Limelight Chapter 9

Ethan Lu paused while blowing his hair.

If he understood correctly, this meant going to sleep with him?

Ethan Lu didn't even think about it and replied simply: "I like men^_^"

In fact, not many people knew that Ethan Lu was gay, Noah Lin, Mason Xiao, and even Olivia Lu didn't know. Of course, that was because the person he wanted to introduce to his parents hadn't appeared yet. It just so happened that Olivia Lu was completely laissez-faire in this regard and never urged him to fall in love, get married, and have children, so he never mentioned it.

The reason why he confessed to Victoria Shi was...they would be together for several months, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble. Besides, people of Victoria Shi's level have seen everything. In the circle, five out of ten people are bent and four are doubles, so he was not worried that the other party would leak it.

The phone fell into silence for a brief five minutes.

Then WeChat messages popped up frantically at the top of the phone screen.

Victoria Shi: You added a ^_^? ? ?

Victoria Shi: Damn, I am the straight man terminator???

Victoria Shi: The male stars I worked with in my first two films were all Fcuking gay??? Are you going to let me live???

Victoria Shi: I'll give you guys some leftovers, okay?

...

Facing Victoria Shi's accusation, Ethan Lu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ethan Lu: [I treat you as a friend, but you want to sleep with me.jpg]

As soon as the expression was sent, the system immediately displayed a line of small words.

"The other party has rejected your message"

What a charming and natural woman! Ethan Lu smiled and connected his phone to the charging cable. Just when he was about to lie down to rest, Olivia Lu called.

Ethan Lu answered: "Mom."

"Xiao Yan, are you still awake?"

Ethan Lu looked at the time. It was ten o'clock in the evening. He smiled and said, "Not yet. Have you had breakfast?"

He originally planned to go home and spend time with Olivia Lu during the four-day holiday, but Olivia Lu flew to the United States for work and was said to be away for more than half a month before coming back.

"I'm eating now." Olivia Lu's voice was still a little sleepy, and it was obvious that she hadn't adjusted to the time difference yet. "Mom hasn't seen you for almost a month. When I get back, I'll visit you on set."

"Don't." Ethan Lu said hurriedly, "Let me know when you return home, and I'll fly back to see you."

"That won't work. You're so tired from filming, and asking for leave will delay the crew's progress. It's settled. I'll visit you on set later."

Although Olivia Lu's words always sound a bit weak, she is actually a very strong and stubborn woman. No one can persuade her to make a decision. After hearing what she said, Ethan Lu stopped talking: "Is there any problem with the work?"

"It's just a small problem. We haven't been able to finalize the details yet. It can be solved in two or three days, but..." Olivia Lu said with a smile, "My friend said she hasn't been to the United States for a long time, so she asked me to stay with her for a while longer."

As soon as Olivia Lu finished speaking, Ethan Lu heard a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, as if she was sitting next to Olivia Lu.

"Your son?" the woman asked, and after getting the answer she continued, "Ethan Lu, don't worry, we will return home after shopping! You and Carter Gu should work hard!" The latter sentence was said to him on the phone.

Hearing the other party say this, Ethan Lu immediately knew the woman's identity, Carter Gu's mother, but the last sentence was a little funny.

Ethan Lu smiled and replied: "Okay, aunt."

After Ethan Lu left, Carter Gu remained motionless, looking somewhat distracted.

He was very particular about his private sphere. Even Xu Fei had only entered his house once, and that was to pick up important documents.

But just now, when Ethan Lu, with a head full of foam, stood blankly at the door of his house, staring at him with his dark eyes, his subconscious reaction was to move aside to make room for him to come in.

What Ethan Lu meant by what he said before he left was, how many times had you come up to see him?

He suddenly remembered the way Ethan Lu ate, with his mouth puffed up on both sides and his lips tightly closed. He made no sound, but was able to stimulate other people's appetite.

As for what kind of appetite, Carter Gu hasn't figured it out yet.

He picked up his phone and called Xu Fei.

Xu Fei quickly answered: "Mr. Gu."

"How many nightly video conferences have you had recently?"

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Well," Carter Gu stood up, closed the file, and interrupted him, "It's not held in the company."

It was not until Carter Gu hung up the phone that Xu Fei finally reacted.

This type of video conference is quite selective about the occasion and must be held in a quiet and highly confidential place. Not holding it in the company means... Mr. Gu holding it at home?

No way, Mr. Gu is such a privacy-conscious person, how could he use his home as a background for a meeting? Xu Fei shook his head, never mind, it would be better if he didn't hold it in the company, he wouldn't have to pretend to work overtime until eleven or twelve o'clock these days. Whenever Mr. Gu held a video conference, the resentment in the company was particularly heavy. In order to give a good impression to their boss, everyone would choose to bite the bullet and hold on until the moment Mr. Gu walked out of the company building.

Although Mr. Gu always takes care of the midnight snacks, they really don’t need this meal, okay?

"War Song" is the big screen debut of Ethan Lu and Jonathan Chen. They had decided in a previous meeting to keep a low profile, not to publicize or hype during the filming, and to complete the filming peacefully.

In short, they wanted to make a big news.

Victoria Shi and Ethan Lu blocked their schedule for three months, and then brought a movie into everyone's attention, made it onto the film awards list, and even won the Best Actor and Best Actress titles.

Therefore, the news of Ethan Lu's departure from Beijing was kept secret. After he got off the plane and checked into the hotel, he specially posted a Weibo with a picture of a pot of cactus he kept at home.

"It feels so good to rest. [Photo]"

As for why he raises cacti - for someone like him who doesn't go home for several months, it seems that only this kind of plant is suitable.

Ethan Lu rested for half a day and went to the set in the afternoon.

Jonathan Chen arrived a day early and was now finding faults with the scenery: "Can't you find me a better screen? Can't you see the hole in it? It's there for Victoria Shi to show her toes!!"

Victoria Shi sat at one side leisurely, still crossing her legs, and said leisurely: "Please stop talking, the little girl is almost scared, at most I can just hide my toes in the crack, it's no big deal."

The girl who was arranging the scenery stood aside trembling, and was about to move the screen. However, the screen was too big, so she raised it for two seconds and then let go.

Ethan Lu stepped forward and picked it up, saying with a smile: "I'll help you."

The little girl blushed and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Yan."

After Ethan Lu came back, Victoria Shi rolled her eyes at him, looking extremely resentful: "You don't like girls but you still flirt with them, you loser!"

Ethan Lu laughed and continued, "I will definitely change it in the future."

After a simple opening ceremony, Jonathan Chen shouted and filming began immediately.

Ethan Lu's character is a great general named Chen Zhong, who has made great military achievements and has never lost a battle. He is the god of war in the hearts of the people of the time. Victoria Shi plays the top prostitute Kui Ji.

When Shen Zhong returned triumphantly, he saw the top prostitute Kui Ji leaning against the wooden pillar of the brothel. He fell in love with her at first sight. Shen Zhong rejected all the powerful officials in the court who wanted to marry their daughters to the general's mansion. Despite the criticism, he married Kui Ji in a sedan chair carried by eight people. The treacherous officials who loved the art of power felt that this was an insult to them and worked together to impeach Shen Zhong. The emperor was also slightly dissatisfied with this matter. In addition, he was still young and did not have the ability to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. In a fit of anger, he punished Shen Zhong to guard the city gate for three years.

The emperor was incompetent, and within a year, the country lost many cities to the enemy. The young emperor was anxious and hurriedly recalled Shen Zhong to lead the troops to war.

But Chen Zhong was defeated. The emperor only gave him 4,000 soldiers. How could he fight against 60,000 elite soldiers? He died on the battlefield. The country was destroyed. The emperor and his ministers knelt down to welcome the enemy into the city. On that day, Kui Ji jumped down from the city gate that Chen Zhong had guarded for a year.

Although the emotional scenes account for the majority in the brief description, in fact, during the actual filming, there are more detailed scenes of Shen Zhong fighting.

The many details in the battle meant that Ethan Lu had to work harder than any other actor. In just one week, he lost a lot of weight.

After finishing today's scenes, Ethan Lu was about to go back to the hotel when Jonathan Chen stopped him and asked, "Are the lunch boxes on the set not tasty?"

Before Ethan Lu could answer, Victoria Shi spoke up: "Do you even need to ask? Her face has become smaller. Tsk, she's even harder to raise than me."

After spending a few days together, Ethan Lu got to know Victoria Shi a little better. Although she spoke harshly, she was not a bad person. In the past two days, she even asked her assistant to send him several batches of fruits. She was a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

He chuckled and said, "No, it's delicious."

Jonathan Chen waved her hands in disdain: "Okay, I'll ask someone to change to another one tomorrow. Don't be so thin after filming that your group of wife fans will think that our crew is mistreating you."

"It's really okay. If you feel sorry for me, why don't we spend a little more money and find a substitute." Ethan Lu teased. In fact, he was just talking. As for a substitute, not only would Jonathan Chen not agree, he himself would not agree to it either.

Sure enough, Jonathan Chen glared at him angrily: "I taught you a lesson and you still want to open a chain store? Get lost and go back to sleep."

On the way back to the hotel, Mason Xiao also looked worried: "Brother Yan, why don't you just not eat the crew's boxed lunches? I'll pack you some delicious food tomorrow?"

Ethan Lu shook his head: "No, there's nothing delicious here. The food outside may not be as delicious as the lunch boxes from the crew."

This is the truth. The filming location in the early stage of the movie is remote. It takes 20 minutes to drive to the city. Except for those who are filming, basically no one comes to this area. As for the luxury room he lives in now, it is called a luxury room, but it is not even as good as a standard room in City B. Not to mention that there is anything to eat nearby. There are only stalls selling boxed lunches in the row.

Mason Xiao said anxiously, "No, when the filming is over, I won't be able to explain to Brother An that you have lost so much weight. I will go around here and see if there is anything you like to eat."

For convenience, the hotel Jonathan Chen booked was right next to the studio, just a few steps away. After Mason Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and went to look for a restaurant.

Ethan Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He only lost a few pounds. How could it be so exaggerated? He gained the weight back after eating two more meals after the filming.

As soon as he returned to the hotel room, his cell phone dinged and he glanced at it casually.

"not at home"

Sender: Carter Gu.

There is no punctuation, it seems like a declarative sentence.
