CHAPTER XLIII
Chen Mo was slightly stunned when he heard Lu Xiaonong say these words in an envious tone. I immediately thought of the gossip I saw on the Internet about the actress Lu Xiaonong before joining the group. It is said that Lu Xiaonong was originally born in the second generation of stars, and her mother was the actress Lu Manlin, who became popular on the big screen thirty years ago. As the only illegitimate daughter of a lifelong unmarried movie star, Lu Xiaonong has been concerned by various media since she was a child. Everyone is very curious about who Lu Xiaonong's father is, and in the years when Lu Xiaonong was just born, this matter was used by countless media as a topic to please the people, and it was talked about for decades. It's a pity that no matter how much power the media pours, this secret has not been revealed until now.
However, this secret does not affect the media to report on the lives of Lu's mother and daughter to earn sales. Although the development context of this world is not the same as Chen Mo's original world, some situations in the entertainment industry are similar. For example, the crazy voyeurism and skinless faces of the paparazzi. In order to earn a headline and a little bonus, these gossip reporters are almost like dog skin plasters by the side of the Lu family's mother and daughter, as long as there is a little bit of trouble, don't try to hide it from them. Even the classmates and friends who were closer to Lu Xiaonong were completely used by media reporters in a different way - what is the daughter of a big star who falls in love with Colonel Cao, Lu Xiaonong and his female classmates go to the International Trade Center on the weekend, although they are young, they are generous......
Although these "so-and-so" have been marked as mosaics by media reporters, after a long time, ordinary people will still feel unbearable, and they simply cannot tolerate this kind of treatment of being completely "invaded and offended" in their private lives. Some parents are worried that their children will be infected with some bad problems in the entertainment industry if they have been in contact with Lu Xiaonong for a long time, and they are even openly and secretly preventing their children from contacting Lu Xiaonong. In the end, Lu Xiaonong had no bosom friends left by his side except for those with ulterior motives. Even the only one or two of them were hindered by the madness of the media, so they only dared to communicate with Lu Xiaonong on campus. As for going outside of school, it's all about phone calls.
It can be said that Lu Xiaonong has been living in a vacuum since he was a child, and he has no * secret treatment that ordinary people should have.
It is precisely because of the madness of the paparazzi reporter that although the director Lu Xiaonong inherited his mother's excellent appearance and acting talent, he is not interested in the world of the entertainment industry at all. Her biggest dream when she was a student was to study hard and strive to be admitted to a university abroad after graduating from high school, so that she could avoid the paparazzi at home.
However, the world is impermanent, and no one expected that Lu Manlin, a big star who looks elegant and charming on the outside, and has infinite scenery, is a woman who gambles, abuses, and drugs in private. When Lu Xiaonong was twenty years old, Lu Manlin was forced to pay off by evil forces because of signing gambling debts, and in desperation, Lu Manlin had to call and cry to her daughter.
Later, Lu Xiaonong made a few boyfriends in the circle, and every time he talked about marriage, he would be disturbed by Lu Manlin for no reason. Lu Xiaonong would patiently communicate with his mother at first, asking why his mother did this, but Lu Manlin never gave an answer, and only insisted that Lu Xiaonong focus on his career. After many fruitless inquiries, the relationship between the mother and daughter gradually fell to the freezing point. Lu Xiaonong even publicly stated in front of the media that he was Lu Manlin's money-making tool, and Lu Manlin was afraid that she would not be able to take care of her wholeheartedly after she got married, so she would mess around like this.
In short, the battle between Lu's mother and daughter for a while allowed the entertainment media to earn enough sales, and also gave outsiders a few more after-dinner conversations. Because of the uproar in the matter, when Chen Mo learned that Xiao Qiao, the heroine of "The Legend of Eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms", was played by Lu Xiaonong, he didn't have to bother at all, he only typed out Lu Xiaonong's name on the Internet, and these gossips were immediately displayed on the entry for a while.
Thinking of the tense relationship between Lu Xiaonong and his mother, Chen Mo was not good at showing his parents' favor in front of Lu Xiaonong, but he still asked thoughtfully, "My mother just said on the phone that tonight's supper is seafood porridge." Would you like a bowl of Sister Lu? ”
Lu Xiaonong was originally going to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed, "Your family came to see you with a supper, and they should want to have a good chat with you." I'm afraid it's too bothersome if I'm here, right? ”
Chen Mo smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "How come? Our family likes Sister Lu the most. If they knew you were coming for supper, they would be happy. ”
When Lu Xiaonong heard Chen Mo say this, he no longer refused. The head of the jaw responded: "Then I'm welcome." Anyway, I haven't eaten seafood porridge for a long time. ”
After a pause, Lu Xiaonong smiled again and said, "By the way, didn't you envy me just now for playing against your brother Chen?" Do your parents bring enough supper? If you have enough, you can also call Yu Xiu and Ah Lan. Let's play against each other. ”
Chen Mo suddenly knew that Lu Xiaonong wanted to finalize the excuse he had just come up with. So as not to cause trouble in the future.
Of course, Chen Mo would not object to this kind of effort, he nodded at Lu Xiaonong, and said, "Of course it's enough." I just don't know if Brother Chen and Sister Zhao have time. In this way, I'll go downstairs to pick up my parents first, and then call Brother Chen and Sister Zhao later. ”
Lu Xiaonong smiled and nodded. Seeing Chen Mo enter the elevator, he immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Chen Yuxiu.
When Chen Mo arrived in the lobby, Chen's father and Chen's mother were sitting on the sofa waiting with a thermostatic lunch box. The people who come and go in the lobby are well-dressed, and even the service staff of the hotel are all in suits and leather shoes, looking elite.
Chen's father and Chen's mother sat in such a palatial place holding a slightly faded blue insulated lunch box, and their every move could not hide their cramped tension. The eyes are frequently looking in the direction of the elevator.
When he saw Chen Mo's figure coming out of the elevator, Chen's father and Chen's mother's eyes immediately lit up. Dad Chen subconsciously stood up and shouted at Chen Mo, "Xiaomo, this way." ”
The bold voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the lobby. The staff and guests who were chatting and checking in came one after another. This was followed by a burst of embarrassing whispers and whispers of ridicule.
Chen's father and Chen's mother knew that they had embarrassed Chen Mo, and their faces turned red with shame in an instant. Standing in place, eager to find a crack in the ground to drill down.
Chen Mo was stunned when he saw this scene. When he came back to his senses, he walked quickly to Chen's father and Chen's mother, and replied loudly: "Dad, Mom." How long have you been waiting? ”
Media reporters and fans in the lobby immediately gathered around with mobile phones, cameras and microphones.
Chen Mo subconsciously frowned, stopped in front of his parents and said to everyone, "You haven't rested so late?" ”
Chen Mo's fans answered Chen Mo's questions while screaming, and fans of other actors asked Chen Mo about their idols. The reporter who was mixed in with the fans also took the opportunity to take pictures of Chen Mo and ask, Chen Mo casually replied, "My parents are here to bring me supper" and no longer answered other questions, and escorted Chen's father and Chen's mother into the elevator.
Because there are big-name crews staying in the hotel, the hotel is very strict in order management for the sake of word-of-mouth reputation. Media reporters and fans who did not have a key card were stopped by security guards outside the elevator.
Chen's father and Chen's mother had palpitations in their arms holding the insulated rice bucket, and they didn't forget to say proudly to Chen Mo: "Our Momo is really red." There are so many fans. ”
After complimenting, he instantly became worried again, changed his words, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, your father and I just embarrassed you in the lobby, right?" I knew we wouldn't have come......"
"It's not like that, don't think about it." Chen Mo interrupted Chen's mother with a smile and said, "Thank you Dad for calling me just now." Otherwise, the hotel is so big and there are so many people, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you. By the way, how long have you been waiting? ”
Chen Mo's timely change of topic made Chen's father and mother forget to worry about whether it was embarrassing or not, and subconsciously replied: "I didn't wait long." Just for a moment. ”
Chen Mo nodded and said directly: "It's so late." Don't go back. Just stay here. Anyway, the guest room is also big, you live in the master bedroom, I live in the guest bedroom, you can sleep. ”
Chen's mother immediately said, "This is not good. When I came over with your dad, I happened to meet a crew filming a night scene, and I came over to order takeout. The hotel didn't close, so Da Liu stared-"
"Then let Brother Liu clean up and close the door. Don't toss around this big night. Chen Mo interrupted Chen's mother's words, and said with a smile: "Besides, Lu Xiaonong, Zhao Lan, and Chen Yuxiu will accompany us for supper tonight." Two female stars and a big actor, didn't you say that you like to watch the movies made by Lu Xiaonong and Chen Yuxiu the most? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “
Chen's father and Chen's mother immediately hesitated when they heard Chen Mo say this. Chen's mother said expectantly: "This is not good......
"It shouldn't be anything, I just told Sister Lu. Wait and call Brother Chen and Sister Zhao to ask......" Chen Mo said as he inserted the room card and pushed the door in.
In the next second, Chen Mo was stunned. Because he found that Lu Xiaonong, Chen Yuxiu, and Zhao Lan, whom he had just invited, were already sitting on the sofa in the living room and chatting. In addition, Li Zhaoxi, who played Zhuge Liang in the play, Fang Hong, who played Yuan Shu, and Yao Xining, who played Tai Shici, were actually there.
Hearing the movement at the door, everyone subconsciously followed the sound and saw the three members of the Chen family standing at the door. Everyone immediately got up to greet Chen's father and Chen's mother, and Lu Xiao explained to Chen Mo with a smile: "Didn't you say that you invited us to have supper and were afraid of disturbing Yu Xiu and Ah Lan." I'll make a call for you, who would have thought that Ah Lan met Fang Hong and Xining when he went out, and Yu Xiu met Emperor Li Ying when he went out, and everyone simply came over. I didn't think it was good for everyone to be standing in the hallway, so I called the desk and asked them to come and open the door. You can't blame me, do you? ”
"Of course not." Chen Mo reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "I still have to thank Sister Lu, if it weren't for Sister Lu's help, how could I have such a big face to invite so many seniors over." ”
After speaking, Chen Mo immediately turned around and introduced the people in the room for Chen's father and Chen's mother. Although Chen's father and Chen's mother have opened a small restaurant in the film and television city for decades, and they have seen countless crews every year, their real experience of contact with big-name stars is almost zero. At this moment, in the face of so many well-known familiar faces on the big screen, he immediately restrained.
Fortunately, all the stars in the room are very good at behaving, and in front of Chen Mo, no one embarrassed Chen's father and Chen's mother. Even Li Zhaoxi, who has always been cold in front of the media and never likes to interact with fans, is also very face-saving and asks Chen's father and Chen's mother if they want to take a group photo. Chen's father and Chen's mother couldn't laugh from ear to ear.
However, Chen's father and Chen's mother also knew the measure, and after asking for a signed photo and a little greeting, Chen's father and Chen's mother immediately found an excuse to go back to the room to rest.
Lu Xiaonong glanced at the closed door, and said with a smile: "Since my uncle and aunt are going to rest, it is not easy for so many of us to disturb us. Why don't we change places? ”
As soon as the words fell, Chen Mo's phone suddenly rang.
