This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 188 The Pressure That Had Been Accumulated for a Long Time

Neither Zhuang Lin nor Liu Hongyu had any objections to Leng Zhiheng's words.

Why not let people disappear and then suddenly reappear? Essentially, it's about ensuring that no matter the outcome, people can relatively reasonably reintegrate into society after they return.

This was also determined by the special nature of Shen Qingyou's identity.

After Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu moved aside, Leng Zhiheng sat down in front of the computer and started operating it quickly. Clearly, he hadn't stopped learning and was able to use the computer and digital camera smoothly.

Furthermore, Leng Zhiheng also has administrator privileges on Liu's Film Industry's official website.

After importing the contents of the digital camera into the computer, the three of them discussed it briefly and then selected a few relatively suitable photos and a video to upload.

"Dululululudulululululu."

The phone rang, and a somewhat tired man rubbed his temples. He was about to reach for the landline receiver on his desk when he suddenly realized that it was his personal phone ringing.

Shen Junfei opened the drawer and took out his cell phone. The caller ID on it made him perk up. It was the "front man" of the Liu Group calling in person.

"The front-line manager"—this was a nickname some people gave Liu Lei behind his back. Although no one dared to say it to his face, even Liu Lei himself was aware of it.

Although Liu Lei is nominally just a general assistant, many people now know that he wields considerable influence within the Liu Group. Unless the mysterious CEO Liu intervenes, his words largely represent the Liu Group's decision.

Although the matter concerning his younger brother made Shen Junfei have a very bad impression of the Liu Group, he could only suppress his emotions and try to make himself feel more relaxed at this time.

After all, for the Shen family, the Liu Group was a terrifying behemoth.

"Hello, Mr. Liu? What brings you here today to call me personally?"

Shen Junfei really wanted to add, "Could it be that my brother finally has some news to reveal?"

Unfortunately, the sarcasm in those words was too obvious, and Shen Junfei didn't dare to say them out loud, especially when facing someone like Liu Lei whose emotions were completely unpredictable.

But surprises always come so suddenly, Liu Lei said casually on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Shen, you can check out Liu's Film Industry's official website online. The Film and Television Training Station might have some information that might interest you."

"Film and Television Training Station?"

Shen Junfei didn't hang up the phone. Instead, he instinctively turned to the computer on his desk and quickly opened Liu's Film Industry's website.

Liu's Film Industry is a long-established company, and this website wasn't created specifically for Shen Qingyou, but the Film and Television Training Station subpage is.

However, in order to achieve realism, the Liu Group also signed a "special training program" with nearly 30 other artists of varying fame with confidentiality agreements, and the number is still increasing. The program is nominally aimed at rectifying the film and television industry and contributing to showcasing the true ancient charm of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The subpage originally only posted photos of some celebrities and old stills from their shows, along with some basic information, and then updated their current situation regularly in written form.

All the other celebrities are real, but Shen Qingyou's story is basically made up.

However, in this era of explosive internet development, there are always many unexpected events. Even if celebrities sign confidentiality agreements, there are always some people accompanying them or even passersby who accidentally take photos and leak some things and gossip.

Therefore, based on the principle that it is better to guide than to block, some information with photos and videos will be added to the subpage. However, no special information about Shen Qingyou and a few other artists has been released, which is interpreted as them being the focus of attention.

Of course, this kind of talk is mainly aimed at movie fans and the general public. At least the Shen family doesn't really believe it. After all, if they are in closed training, is it necessary to make it so that their family can't contact them?
But no matter what, the Shen family still believed that Shen Qingyou's personal safety was at least not in danger, since Liu had no reason to do anything detrimental to him.

At this moment, Shen Junfei finally opened the website and saw Shen Qingyou's entry at the very top of the update page. His heart skipped a beat.

Updated! Are there photos and videos now?

"Well, Mr. Shen, did you see that?"

"Uh, I'm watching it!"

The emotions in Shen Junfei's words were slightly different; he had seen several photos.

In the photo, Shen Qingyou is wearing coarse cloth clothes and her hair is tied in a bun. Her hair seems to be very long, her face is much darker and she looks a bit thin. Her beard is unshaven and does not look as carefully groomed as before, but she gives people a very resolute feeling.

It seems you've suffered quite a bit!

Shen Junfei clicked on another video, which seemed to be a dramatic performance.

One rainy night, Shen Qingyou dug a hole with a knife and buried a person, then covered it with soil again. Finally, she stood in the rain with the knife, took off her shirt and let the rain wash over her body.

Although the light was dim, the occasional flashes of lightning clearly illuminated the perfectly smooth muscles of the person in the rain, creating a sense of silent emotional release.
Although Shen Junfei had arranged many film and television resources for his younger brother, he had never been a seasoned film fan. However, upon seeing this video today, an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

Even a layman could feel the realism and strong visual tension in this performance.

No wonder Liu was unwilling to make it public; Qingyou must have suffered a lot, but this change was also very effective.
Shen Junfei kept the phone in his hand, and Liu Lei seemed to be patiently waiting. When he felt it was about time, he spoke again. "How was it, Mr. Shen? Not bad, right? No need to worry anymore?"

Liu Lei had naturally seen it as well, and even he was amazed, let alone others. Moreover, he knew that Shen Qingyou's experiences were very likely true!
Shen Junfei is much more relaxed now, which is enough to explain to his family. Although he looks like he has suffered a lot, his spirit and energy have improved dramatically.

"Mr. Liu is joking. I have never doubted the capabilities of the Liu Group. I was just worried that someone like my brother would hold us back. Now it seems that I didn't know him well enough!"

"Hahaha. Well, you, as the older brother, definitely have a problem. Okay, that's all for now."

"Hey Mr. Liu, wait a minute, when can he go home?"

"Oh, this? It'll be ready soon, right? Okay, that's all for now, I'm hanging up!"

Liu Lei gave a perfunctory answer and quickly hung up the phone. However, Shen Junfei on the other end didn't seem to care much today; he just kept looking at his brother's photos and videos.

Although not many pictures were released, it was clear that every single one was meticulously crafted, with amazing details in costumes, makeup, and props. Shen Qingyou, as an actress, was also extremely immersed in her role, with micro-expressions and details that seemed almost unreal.

While Liu Lei was calling Shen Junfei, the news that Shen Qingyou had released new information on Liu's Film Industry's official website had already been noticed by some people who had been paying attention to the matter.

Because the historical drama starring Shen Qingyou is currently airing, he is currently enjoying a surge in popularity.

Many entertainment newspapers and film magazines received the news immediately and are preparing to print the relevant content in their next issue. Meanwhile, some thriving portal websites on the Internet have also become lively because of this.

Content from Liu's Film Studio's official website was reposted, and related posts quickly gained popularity.

"After being hidden for so long, the master swordsman Hanmo has returned to the martial arts world!" "Shen Qingyou is not dead, he is still alive!"

Such headlines, whether formal or humorous, quickly became popular on many portal websites, and both movie fans and ordinary netizens quickly participated in the discussion.

After people really looked closely at Shen Qingyou's "stills," the popularity exploded again, and many casual viewers even became fans.

That was a time when just a few pictures and a short video were enough to fill people with anticipation for TV dramas and movies; those few photos and videos had already sparked so many people's imaginations.

Shen Qingyou's "sacrifice" for this is obvious to everyone.

Even so, many people felt that although his appearance was a bit sloppy, he was still very handsome, especially his physique and muscles, which were simply amazing!
Many fans left comments demanding more information about "this series," expressing their disbelief that these were just a few training photos and videos, as the footage was exceptionally well-made.
Inside Leng Zhiheng's apartment, the three of them sat around a computer.

At this moment, Leng Zhiheng had already opened a well-known internet social portal website, and the posts about Shen Qingyou became popular at an almost visible speed.

The three of them browsed several posts, and almost every time they refreshed the page, a lot more information appeared, and there were very few real trolls.

"Master Zhuang, Boss, look, I told you he was popular, right? Now he seems even more popular."

It hadn't even been two hours since Leng Zhiheng uploaded the information. Perhaps the information available online wasn't as abundant as it used to be, but it was enough to demonstrate Shen Qingyou's popularity.

"Perhaps this is just how the era of online entertainment has come about."

Zhuang Lin sighed, and just as Liu Hongyu was about to speak, his phone rang again. He took it out and saw that it was Liu Lei calling.

As soon as Liu Hongyu answered the phone, Liu Lei's voice, tinged with helplessness, came through.

"Boss, I can't hold on any longer. Why don't you call back yourself?"

"Hmm? Who should I call back?"

Are there people Liu Lei couldn't handle?
Liu Hongyu looked at the two people beside him with a surprised expression. Leng Zhiheng frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, while Zhuang Lin seemed to be deep in thought.

"Who else could it be? Director Zhou. It's easy to talk to others, but I really can't stand up to him. Now that these photos and videos have been posted, it's even worse. His voice on the phone makes me worry about his cardiovascular health."

Even without the phone being played through the speakers, Zhuang Lin and Leng Zhiheng could hear it clearly.

Liu Hongyu looked troubled, while Zhuang Lin couldn't help but recall the past.

That Director Zhou was none other than Zhou Xianglin, a renowned director who had always maintained close ties with the Liu family. He was considered Liu Hongyu's elder in the true sense, and Liu Lei couldn't really stand up to him.

"Okay, I... I'll give him a call."

"Okay, boss, I'll tell him that and tell him to wait for the call. I have something to do and I have a meeting soon, so I'll hang up now!"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Lei seemed afraid that Liu Hongyu would change his mind, so he quickly finished speaking, gave an excuse, and hung up the phone.

Liu Hongyu sat there with his phone in hand, glancing around. Leng Zhiheng's lips twitched slightly, while Zhuang Lin wore a smile.

It seems that Zhou Xianglin put a lot of pressure on Liu Lei, and it must have been building up for a long time.
