Chapter 111: Not a Good Person

Yanjing, Second Ring Road.

Shen Lang bought a second-hand villa in Yanxijing Mansion, and the apartment prepared by Xinsuo Records was no longer safe.

Unsafe means that many people nearby know that he lives here.

In order to have more peace and quiet, I had no choice but to move away.

He now has quite a bit of money in his pocket.

The 1000 million yuan advance from the company has already been paid.

The money was spent on the salary expenses of the employees of his Julang Film and Television and the second phase investment for Lao Ma.

Apart from these, there is still enough money to buy an apartment.

The reason for not buying a new house is that the renovation and move-in period is too long. Even if the renovation is done quickly, it will take two or three months. And it is impossible to move in immediately after the renovation is completed. It will take at least half a year to ventilate the house.

So it is more appropriate to buy second-hand.

Yanxijing Mansion is located in Xicheng District, one of the golden locations of Yanjing. It is the political, cultural and educational center and an important part of the old city.

The property has been on sale for 7 years and the seller has lived there for more than 3 years. It is quite new and the modern simple style of decoration is also nice.

I bought some home appliances, tables and chairs and moved in.

"How about it?"

“The environment is quite good, with a front garden and a pavilion in the backyard. It is quiet and relaxing.”

The first person to come to Shen Lang’s new house was none other than Gao Yuanyuan.

In a sense, this place was bought for her.

It makes it easier and safer to get in and out.

Shen Lang handed her a key and access card that he had prepared in advance and said, "This is yours."

Gao Yuanyuan was stunned and asked, "What are you doing for me?"

Shen Lang stuffed the thing into her hand, then put his arm around her waist and said with a smile, "This is for the hostess here."

Gao Yuanyuan was overjoyed to hear this. She didn't say anything else, put the things in her pocket, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, since you are usually too busy, I will come to help you clean up."

Shen Lang said with a half-smile: "Just cleaning?"

Gao Yuanyuan wrinkled her nose and asked, "What else do you want from me?"

Of course it is from upstairs to downstairs, from inside the building to outside.

The privacy of a villa is better than that of a commercial house. As long as you don’t make too loud noises, you can play however you want.

After sweating profusely, the two curled up on the sofa in the living room, enjoying the warmth brought by the heating in winter and watching TV leisurely.

"I've let you be a little eunuch for so many days. I really wronged you."

"Okay, okay. Fortunately, I serve His Royal Highness Chang Sun. It's not embarrassing to tell others about it."

"Now it's finally all right. You are my legitimate concubine. From now on, only people will serve you, and you won't serve others anymore."

The show playing on TV was "Love Across Time and Space" starring Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan.

Today we aired episode 14.

The plot is already halfway through.

I was not optimistic about it when it first aired.

Most viewers thought that Shen Lang moved too fast. He just started in music and turned to film and television.

He has no acting experience and doesn't even know how to act. You can refer to Ren Xianqi, who after becoming famous for singing went on to act in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "Swordsman" and "Chu Liuxiang", but was eventually dubbed the worst Yang Guo, Linghu Chong and Chu Liuxiang.

But there is one thing that makes him better than Ren Xianqi, that is, he has a better image.

But as the plot progresses.

The audience found that it was not as bad as they had imagined. Although both are costume comedy, compared with "My Fair Princess", "Love Across Time and Space" concentrates more on the advantages and characteristics of costume comedy due to the changes in time and space and the absurd and confusing plot.

Gao Yuanyuan's Xianxian, with her playfulness, recklessness, simplicity and superb "skills", caused a series of hilarious and funny events in the dull palace;
Shen Lang's Zhu Yunwen is more of a "21st century street cool guy" dressed in prince's attire. He has the infatuation of the Fifth Prince and Erkang, but lacks the "sweet talk" of Erkangs, which is more in line with the aesthetic psychology of modern people.

It took only 7 days for "Love Across Time" to soar from a 3.61% viewership rating in the premiere, which was driven entirely by Shen Lang's musical popularity, to an 11.38% viewership rating thanks to word of mouth.

A residential area in HP District, Shanghai.

Tang Yan is watching "Love Across Time and Space" at home.

She belongs to the group of fans who support their idols.

But as I watched, I realized something was wrong and I was deeply attracted to it.

First, let’s look at Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan’s ancient costumes.

Shen Lang’s Zhu Yunwen is sunny, handsome, cute and innocent; Gao Yuanyuan’s Xianxian is pretty and quirky.

The male and female protagonists are very pleasing to the eye and their acting is well done.

Then there is the novel plot.

Although "time travel" does exist in today's film and television circles, none of them are particularly outstanding, such as the Hong Kong drama "The Legendary Swordsman" and the mainland movie "The Terracotta Warriors". The Hong Kong drama "A Step into the Past", which led the trend of time-travel dramas, was just aired in Hong Kong last month and has not yet been introduced to the mainland.

Therefore, the appearance of "Love Across Time and Space" suddenly made the mainland audience feel refreshed.

"I really envy Gao Yuanyuan, she filmed the MV for Lang Ge's song and now they are filming a TV series together."

Tang Yan pouted, feeling envious and jealous.

At this time, Tang's father and mother came back from their walk after dinner.

Seeing his daughter staring at a bitter face, Tang's father frowned slightly and asked, "Yan Yan, are you still not feeling better?"

Tang Yan has dreamed of becoming a flight attendant since she was a child, and she has been working hard for this dream.

But reality is always so cruel, she was eliminated in the interview.

Seeing his daughter in a low mood, Mr. Tang, who felt sorry for his beloved daughter, signed her up for a beauty pageant without her permission.

Unexpectedly, the good-looking Tang Yan stood out in this competition and won the championship of the 3rd Shulei Century Star Beauty Pageant.

Dad Tang thought this could clear up his daughter's gloomy mood, but now it seems that it only worked for those two days.

After hearing his father's question, Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Me? I'm not in a bad mood."

Mother Tang patted her chest lightly, took a long breath and said, "Why are you so sad? You scared us."

Tang Yan explained, "I'm watching a drama." After that, she suddenly looked at the TV thoughtfully. After a while, she stood up and said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, I don't want to be a flight attendant anymore. I want to apply to the Film and Television Academy to be an actor!"

Tang's father and mother were stunned.

From flight attendant to actress, this jump is too big...

However, as an only child, Tang Yan was spoiled by her parents since she was a child, and they would never give her the moon or the stars if she asked for them.

At this time, Tang's father noticed that the TV was playing "Love Across Time and Space". There was a character in it, Shen Lang, who had recently become popular because of the Olympic bid theme song and the national football team's expedition song. So he lowered his face and asked, "Yan Yan, you thought of the actor, is it because of this kid?"

Shen Lang, nicknamed "Girl Killer" by people in the world, has a handsome face, a good voice, and outstanding musical talent. He is simply the perfect template of "Prince Charming" and is very popular among girls in their teens and twenties.

Tang Yan nodded generously and said, "Yes, he is my idol."

As expected, Tang's father said earnestly: "Yan Yan, just listen to his songs. There is no need to learn from him, let alone take him as a role model."

Tang Yan was puzzled and asked: "Why?"

Tang's mother understood what her husband meant and said, "Shen Lang is talented in music, but he is not a good person. He is too philandering. Isn't it often reported in the newspapers that he has various rumored girlfriends, who are both singers and actresses?"

The implication is that Shen Lang is not a good person.
