Su Yu and his companions had originally planned to just wander around Luzhou.
However, coincidentally, Zhang Yang and the others were all in Shuangqing, and they called for a gathering in the group chat.
Zhang Yang: "Hurry back, we still haven't had that meal from Gong Ju Ren, and now that everyone's here, let's not wait for next time!"
Zhao De: "That's right, this time we'll definitely eat him out of business!"
Zhou Tao: "Hahaha, Zhao De, you really dare to think. Gong's allowance would be enough to kill you."
Jiang Xiao'e: "We'll go to the restaurant and order first to wait for you."
Zhang Yang: "Brother Yang is going to eat tripe as his meal tonight!"
Zhang Xiaoqi was about to post in the group that she couldn't make it because she had a party event that evening.
But her phone buzzed.
Ting Yu: "Okay, we're flying back with Xiao Gong now."
Seeing this,
She instantly deleted the message she had edited.
Zhang Xiaoqi: "I'm coming back right away, save me a seat!!!"
After sending it,
She packed her things as quickly as possible.
"Xiaoqi, what are you doing? Isn't the reception tonight?" her assistant asked, somewhat confused.
"Quick, book me the soonest flight to Shuangqing!" Zhang Xiaoqi grabbed her bag and rushed out.
Reception?
Tonight there was only a gathering, no reception!
...
On the plane.
Lin Yanyu sat beside Su Yu, holding his hand, as if she had something on her mind.
"What's wrong?" Su Yu put her hand into his coat pocket. Although the plane was not cold, Lin Yanyu's small hands had a tendency to get cold in winter, so he always made sure to keep them warm.
"I was thinking about the story of that song 'Luzhou Moon'. Susu, do you feel like the love stories of ancient scholars never seem to be perfect?" Lin Yanyu rested her head on Su Yu's shoulder.
"Perhaps it's because it's with regrets that it can move people more," Su Yu didn't expect her to still be reminiscing about it.
"That must be it. Actually, when I sang 'Exploring the Window', I really liked your adapted version. The male lead wasn't a scumbag; he was forced by power. Although their ending wasn't perfect, their feelings were perfect. Why don't we ask Sister Qian Qian to make a movie about scholars? The story would be 'Exploring the Window'," Lin Yanyu said, her eyes sparkling with expectation.
Su Yu was stunned. She really liked this story that much...
It wasn't difficult to turn a story into a movie, but Su Yu thought of another classic movie.
"Wife, are you afraid of watching horror movies?" he whispered into Lin Yanyu's ear.
"Ah?" Lin Yanyu was startled at first, then said with even more excitement, "If you accompany me, I won't be afraid!"
Some girls have a natural curiosity about horror movies, and they can find excitement in them.
Some girls are even afraid to watch them, even if they have to force themselves under the covers.
Lin Yanyu was one of those people – she was both scared and liked watching them.
"Then let's make a story about a scholar and a ghost, a tale of love between man and spirit," Su Yu gently rubbed her head.
If his wife wanted to watch it, then they would make it.
'A Chinese Ghost Story', the plot of this movie was absolutely brilliant, and not only that, its theme song was also very classic.
He was thinking that Journey to the West hadn't come out yet, and A Chinese Odyssey would still take some time to film. During this lull, Gu Qianqian had asked several times if there were any new scripts. Lin Yanyu's sudden suggestion reminded Su Yu of this movie.
Moreover, he could also film Mr. Lam Ching-ying's zombie series. This world had zombie culture, but those movies were just scary in a singular way, unlike the zombie series, which were both funny and terrifying. And the zombie series also had a classic song, which would definitely elevate his reputation as an "undertaker musician" further.
"Mwah! Wife, you're the best!!" His thoughts suddenly opened up, allowing Su Yu to find his direction, and he cupped Lin Yanyu's face and kissed her fiercely.
Just then, a passing flight attendant, blushing and with a look of ambiguous warmth, walked past them.
Lin Yanyu came back to her senses, her pretty face instantly flushing red.
Su Yu also coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.
...
Su Yu and his group arrived in Shuangqing City.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Due to it being winter, the pedestrians on the street were sparse.
They had agreed to meet at Gong Shixiong's Hot Pot flagship store.
Upon meeting, there was naturally no shortage of teasing for Gong Ju Ren and Zhou Sisi.
Amidst the lively scene, everyone rolled up their sleeves and started eating hot pot.
It had to be said that Gong Shixiong's Hot Pot deserved its reputation as the number one chain brand nationwide.
The taste was undeniably good.
Since they were all singers, their conversations naturally revolved around the Chinese music scene.
And the hottest topic in the Chinese music scene was undoubtedly 'The Masked Singer'.
"Su Yu, quickly confess, is the Dark Night Rabbit you!" Zhang Yang leaned close to Su Yu and asked in a low voice.
He was the most idle among the singer group. He had been in Shuangqing accompanying his mother during this period and hadn't taken on many endorsements.
After all, he had just severed ties with his father's side and wanted to spend as much time with his mother as possible.
During this time, he had been watching 'The Masked Singer'.
The more he watched, the more he felt that the Dark Night Rabbit was Su Yu.
Although this thought was somewhat shocking, he felt it was very natural for it to happen to Su Yu.
"Brother Yu, is the Dark Night Rabbit really you?" Zhou Tao also asked curiously.
"Is it really Teacher Ting Yu?" Jiang Xiao'e's tripe dropped into the pot.
The most shocked was Zhang Xiaoqi. She had never imagined that she had competed on the same stage as Teacher Ting Yu. The dominance of the Dark Night Rabbit made her feel suffocated even now. If Teacher Ting Yu was really the Dark Night Rabbit...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but gasp for air!
"Since that's the case, I have to say something..." Su Yu put down his chopsticks.
Everyone stared at him with expressions of extreme curiosity.
"You guess." He then gave a mysterious smile.
Everyone: "..."
"Alright, alright, is it Brother Yu important? Even if it is, we can't reveal the show's rules. Aren't you making things difficult for Brother Yu?" Gong Ju Ren stepped in to smooth things over.
"That's right. Even in private, we must abide by the show's rules. And you should have an answer in your hearts whether it's him or not," Lin Yanyu said with a smile.
Su Yu also had a knowing smile on his face.
The members of the singer group were not fools.
With the meaning so clearly conveyed, they naturally understood the implications.
The thrill of possessing a secret suddenly returned.
It was like the sense of superiority they felt before Ting Yu's identity was revealed, when they knew it.
"Su Yu, when is your new book coming out?" At this moment, Zhou Sisi, under Gong Ju Ren's signal, changed the subject.
"New book?" Zhang Xiaoqi was suddenly taken aback, "What new book?"
"Sister Xiaoqi, you just arrived, you don't know that Susu actually has another identity," Lin Yanyu said with a light chuckle, covering her mouth.
"Teacher Ting Yu has other identities?" Zhang Xiaoqi felt her brain was not enough.
"Writer and screenwriter, Jiangnan," Lin Yanyu said this with a hint of pride in her tone.
Jiangnan was now exploding in the film and television industry and the online literature circle.
And 'Chinese Paladin' was still a hit. The excellent reputation of 'Chinese Paladin' had also greatly increased Jiangnan's fame.
And Su Yu was her man. This man's excellence had exceeded many people's expectations.
Lin Yanyu could imagine that when Jiangnan's identity reached the same status as Ting Yu in the film and television industry, Su Yu would be the most formidable person in the entertainment industry.
"Jiang... Jiangnan??" Zhang Xiaoqi was completely stunned.
She stared blankly at Su Yu, then felt it was impolite. Her reaction seemed too big, and thinking of this, she quickly turned her head and covered her face with her hands.
"Haha, Sister Xiaoqi, don't be shy. When we first found out, we were no better than you," Gong Ju Ren said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure..." She was simply too shocked.
After all, she was also following 'Chinese Paladin' now. She had watched 'Huo Yuanjia' and 'Running to the Gala' before, and she had immense admiration for Jiangnan.
Now, these two identities combined...
No, and the Dark Night Rabbit!
Oh my god!
These three identities combined in one person.
This was simply too crazy!
"I expect it to be released at the end of the month. I haven't had time to finish the ending yet," Su Yu said.
He had been traveling around recently. He planned to spend some money to upgrade his intermediate typing speed to advanced, so that he could type faster.
"Su Yu, I need to discuss something with you," Zhang Yang said suddenly from the side.
"Brother Yang, when did you become so polite to me?" Su Yu teased.
"My mom likes watching TV and doesn't like listening to music, so do you think Brother Yang's looks have the potential to develop in the film and television industry?" Zhang Yang's old face blushed. He knew his own limits. Although he looked good, he was far from Su Yu and Shen Qingfeng, and he also lacked acting skills.
"You want to enter the film and television industry?" Su Yu was somewhat surprised. No wonder Zhang Yang's enthusiasm for singing had decreased recently.
As Zhang Yang's childhood friend, Su Yu knew the importance of his mother in his heart.
He was definitely capable of choosing his profession based on his mother's hobbies.
"Give me a supporting role, one where I can be seen," Zhang Yang said with a shy smile.
Su Yu gazed at him for a moment.
It made Zhang Yang's scalp tingle, "Brother Yang still looks quite handsome when he's dressed up."
He subtly straightened his back.
Su Yu didn't answer him.
Instead, he asked the system in his mind.
"Can I customize skills for others?"
Zhang Yang was right. He usually didn't dress up, but if he were to put on makeup like those actors, his appearance was actually quite good. Although appearance is important for actors, acting skills are the most crucial thing. Those popular young idols are the best proof.
For his childhood friend Zhang Yang's request, Su Yu would not refuse. Their relationship was enough for him to spend money to help the other fulfill something. Since he wanted to enter the film and television industry, Su Yu naturally wouldn't let him just be a background extra.
[Ding, no, but the host can customize the skills of 'Mastery of Acting' and 'God-level Teaching'. By explaining, he can easily pass on acting skills to others.]
Hearing the system's suggestion, Su Yu was immediately delighted.
This was good. It not only gave him acting skills but also allowed him to teach them to others.
However, the choice of people to teach needed to be carefully considered.
Otherwise, if he taught them and they left, it would be a huge loss.
"Extra A, Soldier B is fine too, as long as there's a shot, so my mom can see me when she watches TV..." Zhang Yang thought Su Yu was having trouble and continued to lower his demands.
"Is Brother Yang's ambition only this much?" With a way to improve Zhang Yang's acting skills, Su Yu was relieved, and he teased Zhang Yang.
"If it weren't for fear of ruining your reputation, your Brother Yang would definitely ask you for a leading role to play around with." Zhang Yang knew that when Su Yu showed this expression, it meant that this matter was no problem, so he also joked.
Although they hadn't been together for a while, the tacit understanding developed over so many years was still there.
"I happen to have a TV series that needs a lead. I will train your acting skills next, so you should also be prepared. Filming is a very arduous thing," Su Yu winked at him.
"What, the lead??" Zhang Yang was startled and quickly waved his hands, "No, I don't want to hold you back. Do you want Brother Yang to become a stumbling block in your film and television career as Jiangnan..."
Su Yu asking him to be the lead moved him deeply, but he couldn't do that.
Jiangnan's reputation was built step by step. This industry is very realistic. No matter how many good films you make, if you make one bad film, all your previous efforts will be in vain.
Su Yu was loyal, and Zhang Yang naturally had to consider Su Yu.
"Don't you trust me?" Su Yu looked at Zhang Yang, "When have I ever done anything without confidence?"
Zhang Yang thought about it, and finally chose to believe Su Yu.
Indeed, in his impression, Su Yu had never done anything without confidence.
Moreover, he always managed to do things that shocked everyone.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang tentatively nodded and asked, "What type of film?"
"Horror film," Su Yu glanced at Lin Yanyu and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking,
Zhang Yang's back felt a chill, and then his forehead was covered in black lines.
Damn it, can't you be less hellish...
"Wow, Teacher Ting Yu is going to film a horror movie, I'm so looking forward to it!" Jiang Xiao'e suddenly cheered.
Then Zhou Sisi and Zhang Xiaoqi also looked excited: "I like watching horror movies!"
As expected, no matter how delicate girls were usually, they had an extraordinary passion for horror movies.
"Okay, I'll act. I just don't know if my mom will dare to watch it..." Zhang Yang glanced at Jiang Xiao'e and gritted his teeth.
However.
Why was Brother Yang's debut so outrageous?
He debuted as a singer at his ex-girlfriend's wedding, and as an actor, he was going to act in a horror movie.
"Don't worry, it's not like traditional horror movies. You'll know when the time comes," Su Yu said with a chuckle, patting Zhang Yang on the shoulder.
The horror movies currently on the market focus on sudden scares with sound effects and visuals.
However, 'A Chinese Ghost Story' was not primarily about horror, but about telling a story. Although the ending was not perfect, the love story between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian would definitely move many people.
The most important thing was that the protagonist's character perfectly matched Zhang Yang, being equally devoted. As for being a simp, that was up to the individual to judge.
...
ps: I've thought about it for a long time and finally decided to let my childhood friend Zhang Yang take the film and television route. After all, a lot of attention in the singer group was given to Xiao Gong, and Jiang Xiao'e will also be featured later, so Brother Yang's role will be very limited. I think letting him shine in the film and television industry is a better choice. Please give good reviews, chase updates, and send gifts. Thank you very much! (Two-in-one chapter)
