“Song Yucheng!” For some unknown reason, Lu Mian subconsciously shouted out a name, and it was not “Xie Qianchen”, but “Song Yucheng”.
Song Yucheng, who has been staring blankly, also froze for a moment before he turned his head to look at him.
“No, don’t move. Don’t move! I’ll go over to you.” Lu Mian was used to being in control, but he was so shaken that even his voice began to shake.
Song Yucheng’s position was too dangerous. He had only half a foot on the edge, so high up on the roof. A big gust of wind could make him lose his balance and fall.
Lu Mian’s eyes were red, and his hands, which were always steady, began to tremble. If not for the fact that he was afraid of scaring Song Yucheng, he would like nothing more than to rush over and get him down from where he was.
However,Song Yucheng made a stop motion. “Don’t come over, unless you want to see me jump right now.”
Lu Mian shivered in response and he stopped in his tracks.
“The Ten Thousand Flowers award ceremony is over, right?” Song Yucheng’s voice was very soft, and he used a soft tone, as usual.
“Mm.” Lu Mian sensed something, and there was a huge sadness suppressed in his eyes.
“You got what you wanted, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then you should be happy. Why are you crying?” Song Yucheng still looked at Lu Mian with a smile in his eyes, but this time, the smile had a shade more of helplessness.
In fact, this ending had been prepared by Song Yucheng a long time ago. This was what Xie Qianchen wanted the most.
Xie Qianchen had not wanted much in life, but in the end he had nothing. His biggest wish was to get revenge for his seniors, so that evil people would have their evil retribution.
And now, the entertainment industry had been changed successfully. Cao Kun’s gang of culprits also got the payback they deserved. Then finally, there was only one thing left… Lu Wenyuan.
The system had a way to make Lu Wenyuan wake up and go back to normal, but the cost was the remaining life of Xie Qianchen. For Xie Qianchen, his shell had long been dirtied, and every second of life was torture. If he could exchange his life for Lu Wenyuan’s happiness, then he did not want his remaining years of life.
So, after taking care of everything, Song Yucheng decided to end the life of Xie Qianchen at the place where Han Feiran committed suicide.
The most desirable place in the entertainment industry was also the most suitable place to pay tribute to the soul of Xie Qianchen.
But to his surprise, Lu Mian had turned up.
“Don’t go, Yucheng. Come back.” Lu Mian’s voice had completely choked up. He was normally a mature and steady man, but now he was helpless like a child. He pleaded desperately, but his barren words were dry and unconvincing. Lu Mian was still unwilling to give up.
He knew all of Song Yucheng’s past, all of his amazing talent. He knew how much he had been wronged, how many insults he had endured, how much wrong he had endured.
But for a person such as Song Yucheng to end his life after doing his best to clean up the entertainment industry… How could this be?
“Don’t go. You’ve come to the best time…” He’d survived the worst. Why leave now, at this stage?
But Song Yucheng’s reply made Lu Mian freeze.
“It is the best time, but I am too dirty for these clean times.” Tears instantly welled up in Lu Mian’s eyes, and Song Yucheng’s gaze became more gentle.
“Don’t cry for me. This is the best ending for me. Thank you for coming to see me off. Take care, Lu Mian.” After saying that, Song Yucheng closed his eyes and calmly took a step back.
It was time to end everything.
“No!” Lu Mian desperately rushed to Song Yucheng but he only saw Song Yucheng’s falling body when he got to the spot where he’d stood.
Twenty-nine floors were high, and it took a while to go to the top in a lift. But in a real jump to the bottom, the landing seemed to take just a few seconds.
When the pedestrians down below screamed in shock, Lu Mian’s body was also paralysed. But his eyes stubbornly stayed on the spot Song Yucheng had jumped from, and he could not move for a long time.
Song Yucheng, you’re really too cruel!
——————————————————————————————————————————-
Today was the most shocking day for the entertainment industry.
No one expected that Xie Qianchen, who’d led them to reorganise the structure of the industry and return a clear sky to dream builders six months ago, would jump down from the twenty-ninth floor on the day when his own artistes had achieved fame and fortune.
The subsequent exposure of Xie Qianchen’s suicide note was the most shocking.
Not only was the entertainment industry stunned, but all the Chinese netizens too. They were so shocked that they couldn’t speak.
The contents of the will were quite simple. There was only money and scripts, and the studio.
The studio was divided into five parts by Song Yucheng, and left to Qi Luo, Shen Yi, Bai Siwei, Hao Yi and Tang Chi.
The money was divided into two portions, one for Han Feiran’s family and one for the Lu Wenyuan.
As for the final script, it was left to Lu Mian.
Xie Qianchen had no relatives, so such a distribution made sense. After all, compared to his suicide by jumping off a building without warning, this kind of regular distribution of inheritance was not very surprising. But it was those scripts left behind, with the signatures on them, that shook people to their cores.
Rumour.
Wen Ran.
The two most amazing screenwriters in the film industry, the two screenwriters no one has ever seen in person… these peoples’ names had appeared in Xie Qianchen’s legacy.
The answer was self-explanatory.
“No, it can’t be! Our scriptwriter god Wen Ran and the great Rumour were both Xie Qianchen’s aliases?”
“I don’t believe it! This is too far-fetched! Xie Qianchen was an actor and later became a manager! How could he be related to screenwriting? And these are two great screenwriters too.”
“That’s right, the writing styles of Wen Ran and Rumour are too different. One is realistic and grounded, the other is gorgeous and dark, how could they come together? How can one person hold so much genius? Us mere mortals can never compare.”
This netizen just said that, but he had to swallow his words right away at the next revelation.
Xie Qianchen was blessed with talent, but suffered an early death.
Originally, with Lu Mian keeping the news reporting under control, Song Yucheng’s death should not have been widely publicised. After all, his intention was to go in peace and quiet.
But those who really keow Xie Qianchen were not willing to let him go just like that. They felt that if the incident was allowed to pass like this, then no one would remember Xie Qianchen anymore in a few years. Even if this result was what Xie Qianchen wanted, it is too unfair to him.
He was a truly talented genius, who had a promising future, who suffered a lot of hardship and aggravation, but still saved so many people, and protected so many people. Even the cleanliness in the entertainment industry had been brought about by him.
But now, Xie Qianchen was being doubted and would soon be forgotten. This was such an unfair and despairing end for him!
The first one who couldn’t stand it anymore was Yuan Yue.
He was Xie Qianchen’s senior, and had watched Xie Qianchen from his debut to the time he had his wings broken.
Yuan Yue: The talent some people have is always beyond your imagination. Few people know that this junior of mine used to be the most famous all-in-one genius when I was in school.
Here are two old transcripts. [Photo] [Photo]
The name on both transcripts was “Xie Qianchen”. One transcript was from the acting department, while the other was from the screenwriting department. He’d had a double degree, and this was a feat he’d achieved ten years ago!
Furthermore, he had scored above ninety points in all subjects. It showed that Xie Qianchen had dominated both departments in his school days.
And Yuan Yue’s phrase, “all-in-one genius” made things very clear. Screenwriter, director, actor… an all-in-one genius. To put it simply, although Xie Qianchen started out as an actor, he was also a screenwriter.
A veteran director who had worked with Xie Qianchen also said, “I’m actually not surprised. When we worked together back then, many of his lines for that role were revised and embellished by him later. At first, we writers were not happy, but after the shooting, we chatted and My impression was that he, the younger generation, would surpass us predecessors. What a pity…”
Following that, many thoughtful netizens also dug deep and found a lot of clues. There was more proof of the links between Rumour, Wen Ran and Xie Qianchen.
