Chapter 60
After multiple rounds of negotiation, Luo Shuai finally condescended to stay in the film apartment building.
However, he also put forward many conditions, such as requiring replacement of all furniture and facilities, and demanding a dedicated chef to prepare his meals.
When he finally moved in, Luo Shuai was still full of complaints.
"If this production team didn't offer such a high price, who would want to stay in this dump?" He threw his belongings onto the sofa, feeling depressed.
His agent frowned: "Enough, stop being so picky and focus on performing well in this drama. This director has high standards—if you can't even remember your lines, she definitely won't tolerate it."
Е̌ n.ú m̂a
Luo Shuai pouted, unconcerned: "What's wrong with not remembering lines? There's dubbing in post-production anyway."
Such a dilapidated place, and they expected him to exert effort memorizing lines—dream on.

"By the way, a large portion of my scenes are bed scenes, right?" Luo Shuai seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled. "I can definitely remember those lines that need to be spoken in bed very clearly."
Agent: "..."
What lines do you need for bed scenes!
Aren't those just drawing the bed curtains and then cutting to black?

The assistant also displayed a meaningful smile, chiming in: "Brother Shuai, I heard the female lead Yao Bianliang is quite attractive. Hehe, you might be in luck this time."
As he spoke, he winked at Luo Shuai.
"You mean Yao Bianliang?" Luo Shuai narrowed his eyes, his lips curving upward. "I've seen her photos, and she does look pretty decent."
A delicate fair face, well-proportioned figure, and a perky backside.

"It's a pity her chest is rather small," he couldn't help smacking his lips.
The assistant beside him snickered: "Probably needs a boyfriend to help her enhance them?"
Ӗnu.m̆ а̌
Upon hearing this, everyone displayed knowing expressions, and Luo Shuai's smile became more pronounced.
The agent knew exactly what they were thinking and frowned.
"Enough, you need to restrain yourself for a while! Don't think about messing with Yao Bianliang."
He spoke with frustration toward this troublesome artist: "If you hadn't been so blatant recently, we wouldn't have been caught and nearly exposed."
Recently, there had been some commotion about Luo Shuai sleeping with fans, but under the company's vigorous "denial," the heat had been suppressed.
After this incident, both Luo Shuai and his agent didn't dare act too recklessly, becoming more restrained in their behavior.

"Fine, fine, I get it," Luo Shuai mumbled, though inwardly dismissive. "It's not like I'd force myself on Yao Bianliang; at most I'd just joke around with her."
In Luo Shuai's view, such things were already established rules in the industry.
Only newcomers who just entered the business, unfamiliar with the entertainment industry's unspoken rules, would make a fuss and nearly cause problems.
The agent emphasized: "Last time Young Master Lu helped suppress the heat, but this time, Young Master Lu himself is about to leave the industry. If you still won't restrain yourself, no one will be able to help you then."
"Even if cousin withdraws from the industry, he's still the heir to Lu Group," Luo Shuai said. "He initially entered the entertainment industry just for fun; it's not that serious."
He paused, not wanting to continue this topic with his agent, and asked: "Has cousin already announced his withdrawal? What does Lu Group say?"
Е̂nu mа
The agent sighed and could only temporarily drop the subject.
He opened his phone and looked at the latest content.

"Yes, Young Master Lu has released a statement," he sighed. "The higher-ups have instructed that you artists should post on Weibo expressing understanding and guide public opinion."
Lu Group's business was extensive, occupying half the entertainment industry. Even major players like Ansheng Entertainment counted Lu Group among their shareholders.
Therefore, as long as these influential celebrities spoke out, they could restrain public opinion to some extent.
Luo Shuai was taken aback and frowned: "You want me to speak out? But cousin's current reputation..."
Е n ū m̂ а
Lu Yanchen had been forced to withdraw from the industry, so his public image must be quite terrible. Posting on Weibo to support Lu Yanchen would bring absolutely no benefit to him now.
The agent looked at him: "Young Master Lu is the future heir of Lu Group, so of course the company hopes his public image improves."
After speaking out for Lu Yanchen, these celebrities would certainly be affected to some degree. But for Lu Group, none of that was as important as Lu Yanchen's reputation.
Luo Shuai understood and irritably scratched his head.

Finally, he waved his hand: "Fine, let PR handle the post."
The hashtag #LuYanchenApologizesWithdraws# quickly rose to the top of trending topics.
Ӗ n̊û_m̊а.і̆ d̃
Drama feeds people's pleasure, so the topic gained momentum rapidly, finally pushing Yao Bianliang's related hashtags down the list.
"Lu Yanchen gave in so quickly?"
When Yao Bianliang learned this news, she felt somewhat delighted yet slightly disappointed, with various emotions intertwining to create a complex mood.
Lu Yanchen's topic had suppressed hers, which was something to be happy about.
But at the same time, Lu Yanchen's actions meant he was temporarily giving up on targeting her, which was truly regrettable.
"I thought Lu Yanchen would hold out a bit longer," Yao Bianliang browsed through messages on her phone, sighing softly.

Yan Xiaoli chuckled: "What else could he do? The public opinion was already uncontrollable; now he can only apologize and withdraw to avoid further attention."
Lu Yanchen's apology was lengthy, clearly crafted by a PR professional.
If he had written it himself, Yao Bianliang guessed that this young master with his "winter comes, king falls" aura would certainly not have written so smoothly.
[Lu Yanchen:
Regarding recent public opinion, I make no excuses and offer my sincere apologies. As a public figure, I failed to properly regulate my behavior, disrespected other staff members, and set many wrong examples before the public and fans.
At this point, I accept all criticism and blame without reservation.
Ẽ.ṅ ü m a. і d̈
However, regarding the voting issue in the "Good Drama PK Competition," it was entirely due to my own rashness. Ms. Yao Xinxin was unaware and did not participate in this event from beginning to end.
I officially withdraw from the industry from today and will no longer appear on screen for any activities. I will spend a considerable amount of time reflecting and improving myself. I will also personally donate 50 million yuan to charity, funding the construction of Hope Primary Schools in remote areas...]

Yao Bianliang briefly scanned through the dense text, which contained a lot of information.
To mitigate the impact of this incident, Lu Group directly donated 50 million yuan, quite a grand gesture.
"Surprising—I didn't realize Lu Yanchen and Yao Xinxin had such a good relationship," Yan Xiaoli couldn't help remarking. "He actually took the initiative to shoulder all responsibility."
Yao Bianliang smiled.
W̌е b n̈ о̂v́ el Е nuṁ а̊
Their relationship was more than just good. According to the novel's plot, these two would eventually know and love each other, entering the hall of marriage.
However, Lu Yanchen's action was quite helpful to Yao Bianliang.
At the very least, this partially "cleansed" the negative information surrounding Yao Xinxin, allowing her to remain active a bit longer.
This was the only piece of good news she had received in recent days.

Yao Bianliang ate a simple meal with her assistant before returning to the apartment.
By now, more than two hours had passed since Lu Yanchen's apology. Several other artists had subsequently posted messages supporting him.

A string of celebrity hashtags climbed the trending list. These individuals were either artists under Lu Group or had intricate connections with Lu Group.
Most were well-known figures in the industry with significant influence. Their supportive posts were likely made out of obligation to Lu Group.

[Zhang Jingwen: Acknowledging mistakes is the greatest virtue. Thank you for the charitable donation like.jpg @LuYanchen]
[Luo Shuai: Brother Lu is just occasionally impulsive; I personally think there's no need to be overly harsh.]
[Ouyang Xiaoqing: Brother Lu is generally a good person, donating and doing charity work every year. Since he has already apologized and withdrawn, I wish you success in your future endeavors.]
"Hmm, Lu Yanchen certainly has a lot of face," Yao Bianliang couldn't help remarking.
Previously, when Lu Yanchen was being denounced across the internet, publicly supporting him would undoubtedly have drawn oneself into the controversy.
Now that Lu Yanchen had apologized and withdrawn, expressing support at this time wouldn't significantly impact oneself, so these celebrities naturally wouldn't be too resistant.
Êňüm̈_a
Yao Bianliang briefly scrolled through and found netizens rationally discussing the matter in these artists' Weibo comment sections. However, a few traffic stars had inconsistent tones.
Among them, Luo Shuai's style was the most outrageous, with various comment control and flattery particularly noticeable.

[Support Brother Shuai, support Lu Yanchen.]
[I heard Brother Shuai and Lu Yanchen are cousins? Brother Shuai is so loyal.]
[I don't know Lu Yanchen, but I support Brother Shuai~ If he says Lu Yanchen is fine, then he must be fine!]
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Е ǹ ü m̆ а. ǐ ď
Great, should she compliment them for being such mindless fans?
Of course, occasionally there were different evaluations among these flattering comments.
[Ridiculous, they're all Lu Group's lapdogs, colluding together.]
[The reason Luo Shuai and others speak out to support Lu Yanchen is simply because their interests align... why do fans believe such statements?]
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
[What mindset do celebrities who support Lu Yanchen have? Could they all be the same type as Lu Yanchen?]
[Lu Yanchen has apologized and withdrawn, haha, I'd like to see when Lu Group's other lapdogs will withdraw.]
Е n ũ m ӓ . і̃d
[Sigh, just let it go. Even though Lu Yanchen has withdrawn, he still possesses immense wealth and power. What right do we ordinary people have to mock him?]
These comments were also numerous, but were quickly pushed down by paid commenters and fans.
Yao Bianliang browsed the internet while falling into deep thought.
Now that Lu Yanchen had apologized and withdrawn, and Yao Xinxin was in a precarious position, the enemy's strength had been greatly reduced—which wasn't good news for her.
Perhaps it was time to seek new candidates.
Yao Bianliang's gaze swept through the chaotic content, finally landing on the hashtag #LuoShuaiLuYanchen#.

Perhaps her approach had been flawed from the beginning. Relying solely on these capital forces couldn't completely suppress her.
Capital suppression methods were limited: suppress her, smear her, deny her resources.
These methods were indeed effective, but the problem was... she was too lucky!
By this point in the mission, Yao Bianliang had a very clear understanding of her attributes.
From "To Our Youth" becoming a hit, to the sudden outbreak of an epidemic during the filming of "The Healer"... evidence proved that for someone with her incredible luck, no matter how much suppression or blacklisting occurred, unexpected events would still emerge, ultimately making her successful.
So, continuing along this path might not work.
Е́ n̆ùṁа
"Perhaps it's time to change direction..." Yao Bianliang looked at the controlled comments and praise under Luo Shuai's Weibo, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Since she couldn't remain obscure, she should find a way to become universally hated!

Once her reputation deteriorated, wouldn't becoming unpopular happen in an instant?
And now, a ready-made target stood before her.
Yao Bianliang looked at the photo on the screen—the man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a well-defined face, like an exquisite work of art.
Luo Shuai, top-tier current male star, loves acting like a diva, has a volatile temper, has many girlfriend fans and irrational fans, and anyone who offends him meets a bad end—a perfect candidate.
Е̇n̆ um ӓ
Yes, he's the one!
Yao Bianliang pondered for a moment, then contacted Assistant Chen: "Coordinate with the production team to arrange a day for media reporters to visit."
Assistant Chen was startled: "Uh, media reporters?"
This was the first time Yao Bianliang had actively requested to contact media reporters. Even the usually composed Assistant Chen was surprised.

"Are you planning to accept an interview?"
"Of course not," Yao Bianliang's mouth twitched. "Have them come to the set for some live streaming, take some photos, and release some behind-the-scenes footage later."

This was a common promotional operation for production teams. Any production with sufficient funding would use this method for advance promotion.
However, Yao Bianliang's purpose wasn't to promote the new drama.
Her goal was singular—to tarnish her own reputation!
Over the next few days, the "Spring Warmth, Heavy Dew" production team officially began filming.
As a top-tier star, Luo Shuai had many scheduled engagements, frequently participating in various variety shows, events, and commercial shoots. Therefore, the production team had to prioritize his scenes.
Yao Bianliang shared many scenes with Luo Shuai, so it didn't significantly impact her.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But this created difficulties for other supporting actors.
To accommodate one person's schedule, other actors' scenes became difficult to arrange reasonably. Many actors had to perform one scene in the morning and another in the evening, meaning they had to spend the entire day on set.
"Cut!"
On the filming set, the director shouted through a megaphone, clapping her hands as she stood up.
Director Hua was a middle-aged woman with short hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with penetrating eyes behind the lenses that carried a sharp gaze.
"Mr. Luo, in that performance just now, you missed several lines again," she said, restraining her anger. "This is the third time you've misremembered your lines."
Ӗ nū m̀ ā
Luo Shuai didn't look at the director, merely flicking his sleeves. Wearing the heavy ancient costume made him quite displeased.
He languidly explained: "It's normal for lines to have slight variations; they don't need to be word-perfect. This is called an actor's improvisation, isn't it?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Director Hua: "..."
To hell with your improvisation!
Not remembering lines and calling it improvisation?
Director Hua looked very displeased: "Luo Shuai, are you trying to make the entire crew work overtime with you until late night?"
Eń.ů m а̇ . і̊d́
Yao Bianliang arrived on set just in time to witness this scene.
Many staff members couldn't help but whisper discussions, looking at Luo Shuai with intense dissatisfaction.
Because of this male lead, they had already worked overtime several times. Many supporting actors' scenes were also affected.
Yao Bianliang believed that if conditions allowed, everyone would probably wish to sweep Luo Shuai out with a broom.

Yet Luo Shuai showed not the slightest self-awareness, maintaining a completely calm face.
He continued: "That's right, Director. Since that's the case, why not just approve this shot? If we keep filming like this, wouldn't the entire crew be stuck filming until late night?"
W̆ е̄ b n о v е l̆ E n̆um̆а.
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Wasn't the entire crew filming until late night precisely because you couldn't remember your lines? How did that become the director's fault?
Hearing Luo Shuai's sophistry, Director Hua's chest heaved violently, her face darkening as she threw the script onto the table, barely restraining her emotions.
Luo Shuai secretly rolled his eyes, shrugging indifferently, completely disregarding Director Hua's expression.
The assistant director forced a laugh and approached to mediate: "How about this—let Mr. Luo rest a bit first, and we'll film the next scene?"
"Rest?" Director Hua let out a cold laugh. "Luo Shuai already has many scenes. If we delay further, we might as well not film this drama at all!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The scene fell into a stalemate.
Yao Bianliang checked the time on her watch, mentally calculating. According to the agreed time, those media reporters should be arriving soon.
After some thought, she stepped forward: "Director, since Luo Shuai can't remember his lines, why don't we film the scenes where he has fewer lines first?"
Director Hua turned to look, saw it was Yao Bianliang, and her expression softened.
No director could dislike an actor like Yao Bianliang—skilled, obedient, and never causing trouble.
"Film the parts with fewer lines first... that's certainly possible."
E n u m̆ã
Director Hua briefly flipped through the script. They were currently filming outdoor scenes, and indeed, there were several exterior shots where Luo Shuai didn't need to say many lines.
"Oh, it's Liangliang," Luo Shuai smiled at Yao Bianliang, his gaze somewhat boldly looking her up and down. "Good, I was just thinking of doing some scenes with you that don't require lines, such as... bed scenes."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Yao Bianliang was silent for a moment: "Mr. Luo, we're currently filming outdoor scenes; I'm afraid the bed scene part isn't up yet."
Luo Shuai paused, slightly disappointed: "Oh, is that so? I hadn't really noticed."
He hesitated, glancing around at their surroundings: trees, bushes, a stream, with no other buildings.
"If not a bed scene, then what scene?" he looked at Yao Bianliang in confusion.
W̆ёb̆n о̃v еl̆ Еn um̂а́
Yao Bianliang unhurriedly smiled: "Of course, the scene where the male lead gets beaten up."
After all, when the male lead is getting beaten, naturally he wouldn't have many lines.
