Chapter 588: Failed to defend, first time playing with friends

A row of cars were driving on the highway, it was Shen Santong and his group.

After the roadshow in Hefei, the "Wolf Tooth" crew went to Nanchang.

Wang Zhi was so tired that he fell asleep leaning on the chair.

She had followed the crew before, but she was not the female lead at that time. Now that she becomes the female lead, she has to respond to the audience in various ways, and she also encounters strange questions. With so many people, naturally there are all kinds of people.

In addition, she overestimated her own strength in her excitement. When she and Shen Santong were working together the next week, the two had several exchanges.

Shen Santong also advised him.

Unfortunately, I relied on my foundation and thought I was in good physical condition. But it was not until the third week that I realized how serious it was and I could hardly hold on.

Shen Santong was in perfect mental and physical condition. After finishing the documents at the company and looking through the news, he couldn't help but sneer.

There was a high-speed train accident last Saturday, which was particularly serious.

And how did some media report this tragedy?
The relevant departments announced that the rescue was completed and prepared to bury the front of the car, but the special police captain disobeyed orders and insisted on searching. As a result, another little girl was rescued deep in the front of the car.

The above passage seems to be all facts, but it is completely pieced together out of context.

What are the facts?
小女孩是在D3115次16车，D3115次的车头部分被救出的，埋的车头是D301次1车的，宣布救援结束是说的桥下部分，D301次1/2/3/4车救援结束。

The front end of car 301 of D1 train was buried to level the site for the crane to enter. It rained heavily that day and the site was muddy to help rescue car 3115 of D16 train.

The whole story was that the front of the car was buried to level the ground to save people.

Just dig it out when you need it in the future. Human life is at stake, saving people is the most important thing.

The railway has always handled it this way. It is more economical and labor-saving to bury the debris nearby after the accident. There is no need to plot in front of reporters. If there is really a problem, it should be quickly taken away and destroyed or hidden in a deserted place.

Some media reports did not distinguish between the different car fronts they referred to.

The efforts of a group of people who were not only normal but also put saving lives as their first principle were misinterpreted into a conspiracy theory!

Shen Santong was sure that this was a deliberate attempt to cause ambiguity.

It’s not that the relevant departments did not release the information, but that it was selectively “covered up” by the news media.

They knew the news that the little girl was rescued, and they even found out the name of the police officer. How could they not know which car rescued her?
Shen Santong was very familiar with this method. There were many similar incidents in later generations. When a child committed suicide, they would use family tragedy and social empathy to produce a large number of conspiracy theories and escalate the matter infinitely.

This is to achieve certain goals, such as sales, popularity and creating division.

Looking at the things passing quickly outside the window, Shen Santong thought that he could not blame anyone for the overall collapse of "studying journalism" in the future. It was just the wheel of karma.

Arriving at the service area, the convoy underwent simple repairs.

Shen Santong came out of the toilet and took a look at Nanchang's work schedule. He was a little surprised to see the guest: "Liu Tao is really nice."

Liu Tao actually gave her two days' time off and asked Chen Chexi, "Isn't she taking on a lot of work? Is she free now?"

Liu Tao is quite miserable. His "rich" wedding stole the limelight and he announced that he would "quit the entertainment industry."

She is a female celebrity who is influenced by the complex of marrying into a wealthy family.

This is even more of a scam than Jia Jingwen's. Not only does she have no money, but she also has to pay for it herself.

She thought she married a rich husband, but in fact, there was nothing inside. Even if there was no financial crisis, Wang Ke's way of playing would not be able to be sustained sooner or later.

They got married with a baby in their womb, and encountered a financial crisis soon after their daughter was born. Then Wang Ke went bankrupt and had serious financial problems. He fell directly from heaven to hell. His former drinking buddies turned into ghosts, frantically collecting debts.

After Wang Ke's business failed, Liu Tao did not make a comeback immediately. At first, he wanted to hold on and try to survive.

When the couple was in the most embarrassing situation, the marketing and the wealthy husband drove a Rolls-Royce and bought Hermes, but it was all staged.

Until last year, after two years of holding on without any improvement, Liu Tao had to come back to work to make money to pay off his debts.

When he just made his comeback, he responded to the topic of female celebrities marrying into wealthy families, saying that he was not that famous and Wang Ke was not that rich.

This is true, Wang Ke is indeed not that rich, and she is not that famous either.

Before retiring from the entertainment industry, she was still far from being a first-tier female star. Instead, she married Wang Ke. After retiring from the entertainment industry, she is no longer in the circle, but there are legends about her, and her status has risen.

He filmed eight movies within a year of his comeback, all for the purpose of paying off his debts. He values ​​quantity over quality, and the pay is his top priority, as long as the money is as high as possible and is paid quickly.

He also starred in "The Founding of a Party", playing the same working idol as Yang Mi, but more versatile than Yang Mi.

This person's emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills are far better than Yang Mi. There are many stars who are under financial pressure. Some have signed gambling agreements, and some have gone bankrupt and are in debt.

But Liu Tao is a unique person who can keep getting good scripts despite being in debt. He can earn enough money to pay off his debts without having to make bad movies that will affect his reputation. He can have the best of both worlds.

Chen Chexi in the car was also very tired. If he wanted high box office, he really had to do a good job of roadshows to boost the box office.

However, when he heard Shen Santong's question, he was shocked, looked at him strangely, and said teasingly: "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"

"What do you mean?" Shen Santong thought for a moment and said, "She won't ask me to borrow money, will she? I won't interfere in such matters."

"Not only will she not lend it to you, she will also give it to you as a gift. She must be very thoughtful." Chen Chexi teased, and the "she" here of course refers to Liu Tao.

"What did you give me? But it's really kind of you to come all the way here to show your support." Shen Santong pretended not to understand, but he was not a fool, he understood.

But I don’t like talking about people behind their backs.

I don’t really care, it’s not a big deal, there are too many people I want to send gifts to, and too many people I want to please.

Once you get used to it, he will become a scarce resource.

He will definitely refuse.

Sugar-coated bullets can't defeat him.

There is no need to be too utilitarian when introducing some jobs to Liu Tao. He is good at acting and being a good person.

After resting, they got in the car. It was already dark. Chen Chexi calculated that it would take another two or three hours to reach the hotel. He looked at Shen Santong's pants and reminded him, "You better take care of yourself."

Wang Zhi, who was dozing off next to him, nodded his head slightly.

Shen Santong was furious on the spot and taught her a lesson: "They are already married, and you should not talk nonsense to your virtuous wife."

It’s not that Chen Chexi is meddling in other people’s business, but what do you think of him?

He has a first-rate character.

Never drive a black car!

Laughing to death, Chen Chexi didn't believe it at all: "Then you like it more."

"Hey, you." Shen Santong was clear-headed and said seriously, "She is not simple, and her husband is not simple either. Something happened last year, and I won't get involved."

Liu Tao and Wang Ke, both husband and wife, are the kind of people with big hearts and strong vitality.

In December last year, Wang Ke had a car accident with Wang Shuo, another one of the "Four Young Masters of Beijing". The other party even pulled out a gun at the time. The reason was that Wang Ke owed debts.

In the past two years, various news about Wang Ke have been leaked.

Depression, mental problems, drug overdose, and even life-threatening conditions.

Liu Tao is not the "virtuous wife" in her character setting, she really caught up.

Wang Ke went bankrupt after marriage, so Liu Tao was responsible for repaying the debts. Even if they divorced, the debts still had to be repaid.

Moreover, in 08, the practice of requiring both spouses to sign for large debts was not popular, so according to the law, the debt owed by Wang Ke was a joint debt of the couple.

Liu Tao had to pay it back whether he wanted to or not, there was no room for negotiation.

This is not her noble character as a good wife and mother, but an obligation she must fulfill.

This is why Wang Ke and Liu Tao have strong vitality. They handle things better and release all kinds of specious news.

The outside world speculated or was certain that the couple had encountered financial problems, but they were very secretive about it. They either refused to respond or denied it through their friends, and they also marketed luxury cars and luxury goods from time to time.

Shen Santong suspected that there must be an expert among the parents or elders of both parties who could help.

Regardless of whether Wang Ke really had mental problems or it was fake, if he really died, it would be difficult to collect the debt.

Even if the couple’s joint debt cannot be repaid, what can be done?
The laws of Dongda University take care of the weaker party. If Wang Ke dies, Liu Tao will take their daughter with him, and the debt may be forgotten.

At the same time, Wang Ke may become a deadbeat and his debts may also become bad.

The result is that creditors who lent Wang Ke money cannot push him too hard, as he may die and the money may not be returned. They also cannot drive him crazy, as if he goes crazy, he will become irresponsible.

At the same time, the image of Liu Tao, who can make money, cannot be damaged. Wang Ke is useless, but Liu Tao can still make money. If both sides are destroyed, the debt will definitely not be repaid, and these creditors will have to find ways to maintain Liu Tao's image.

Liu Tao was in debt, which had disadvantages, but also had advantages.

She took on a lot of roles, no matter whether they were good or bad, but her reputation was not bad. A big part of the reason was that Liu Tao paid off her husband's debts and gained sympathy in public opinion.

Everything is dialectical. No matter how bad the situation is, there is always a glimmer of hope.

Only by living on, living bravely, can you have a chance to turn things around.

Shen Santong admired Liu Tao very much, and it was indeed not easy.

Chen Chexi said: "You just need to know it yourself. Wang Ke has a big hole. If you let him see hope, he will definitely grab it. He will be waiting for you."

"It's not difficult to repay the debt. The entertainment market is booming. In a few years, it won't be a big deal." Shen Santong was not interested in anything else, but Liu Tao was very interested in the commercial value.

On the one hand, the entertainment industry in later generations made too much money, and on the other hand, Liu Tao really knew how to behave.

It's not an unspoken rule or anything like that. This thing is just a bonus. It's the story that the creditor and Liu Tao had to tell. Shen Santong couldn't be 100% sure, but it was probably nonsense. Liu Tao was not that valuable.

The more interests are involved, the less likely people are to do anything.

If something really happened and he turned around and accused her of rape, not only would he lose the money he borrowed, he would also have to go to jail. However, if Liu Tao underwent a mental evaluation and was found not responsible for the behavior, he would be out of debt.

No one is so precious down there.

On the contrary, it is possible for her to take on acting jobs and social events, but why should others give her roles?

Shen Santong is not afraid of being entangled, because the other party's source of income is in the entertainment industry, which is his home turf. He is a relatively restrained person and will not drive a black car.

Wang Zhi, who was taking a nap, slept even more soundly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Santong and his group arrived at the hotel.

When Liu Tao learned that they were coming, he immediately went to greet them.

"Sister Tao, you are still as beautiful as ever. Thank you for coming to help this time." Shen Santong was polite as he carried people in the fancy sedan.

Of course, it’s not against my will.

To be honest, when I saw Liu Tao, I immediately thought to myself that something was wrong and that I might not be able to defend myself.

A little bit heart-beating!
It’s not about Teacher Bai, no, it’s about how beautiful Liu Tao is, but there is indeed a spirituality in her temperament!
As a famous director, I feel the inspiration coming suddenly and have an urge to create.

Moreover, Liu Tao's condition has also improved since he resumed work.

Keeping working and energetic is indeed helpful.

I kind of want to take the test and see if my weak spot is soft.

"Director Shen, Brother Jing, and everyone else, I learned about your arrival on the way here, and seeing that you were arriving late, I asked someone to prepare some midnight snacks." Liu Tao greeted everyone and was surprised when he saw Shen Santong.

Shen Santong was like a sun in the crowd, with everyone surrounding him directly or indirectly.

He was wearing casual clothes, speaking calmly, with a smile on his face, but there was an inexplicable aura about him.

Liu Tao, an old hand, is not so anxious. She has worked her way up from the bottom.

Many times, there are skills to giving gifts. Giving gifts does not guarantee benefits, especially in the entertainment industry, where there are many people who are ruthless and ruthless.

There are also people who don’t accept it, and there are also people who are doing business. There are tricks involved.

Fortunately, she saw Shen Santong's instant reaction and couldn't deceive anyone.

"Thank you, Sister Tao."

"Thank you, sister."

The journey took seven or eight hours. In the past ten days, they had been traveling by plane, high-speed train, car, transportation, hotel, and theater. They were really tired. When they saw the prepared midnight snack, they hurriedly thanked it. Shen Santong had to say that Liu Tao was very worldly-wise and it made sense for him to be able to make a name for himself.

"Director Shen, congratulations on your movie's huge success. It really brings honor to our domestic films." He is very good at praising people.

Liu Tao added: "I've also watched Wolf Fang. Hey, Brother Wu Jing, haha, let me touch your muscles."

He didn't attack Shen Santong, but attacked Wu Jing first.

Wu Jing calls Liu Tao "sister" and Liu Tao calls Wu Jing "brother", and everyone talks about their own things.

"Sister Tao, I'm eating." Wu Jing was startled and quickly hid back.

It would be a big deal if this got out, and I also felt that these sisters were so tough.

He was already very capable before marriage, and even more capable after marriage and having children.

After eating, some people went to their rooms to rest as they were really tired.

Liu Tao was chatting with Shen Santong normally, and asked his assistant to bring gifts and distribute them to everyone, showing off his social skills.

She personally handed a white bag to Shen Santong: "Director Shen, I was just thinking about when you guys would come, so I asked my family to prepare some specialties."

"Sister Tao, you are too polite. How can I ask you to pay for it?" Chen Chexi said quickly: "It's not easy for you either. You must ask the crew to reimburse you. As a producer, I have this right."

I used to be hostile towards Liu Tao, but now I can't get angry at all.

I looked at Liu Tao's gifts. They were not very expensive, but there were quite a lot of them.

"It's still the younger sister who cares about her older sister." Liu Tao smiled happily: "Director Shen, you see how much the younger sister cares about me as her older sister. If there are any scenes in the future, just take care of me."

Shen Santong saw that Liu Tao had a really good personality and it was worthy of him to be able to make a comeback and become a big star.

Like the big sister next door, she really has some skills.

Chen Chexi was too young and was taken down in just a few words.

"Director Shen, should we rehearse the process for tomorrow's event?" Liu Tao was still enthusiastic.

Shen Santong called the publicity staff and took out the materials: "Sister Tao, just praise our movie more when the time comes."

"Haha, the movie is really well shot. Brother Wu Jing is very cute. I can't help but admire him, haha." Liu Tao didn't need to wait until tomorrow to praise him directly. He went up to him and patted Wu Jing on the shoulder.

Wu Jing said goodbye quickly because he was really afraid that this elder sister might have some thoughts about him.

He is not Shen Santong. If he is not careful, everything in his house will be turned upside down. Besides, he is a star.

He ran quickly: "Director Shen, Sister Tao, Producer Chen, I'm going to rest now, see you tomorrow morning."

"Haha, Brother Wu Jing is shy." Wu Jing fled amid Liu Tao's laughter.

Before they knew it, it was almost midnight. Only Shen Santong and Liu Tao were left. Liu Tao sat next to Shen Santong and asked about tomorrow's affairs. He was really enthusiastic: "Where should I stand then? I can't stand in the main seat, right?"

"Sister, let's take a rest first." Shen Santong saw that it was almost time.

The main reason is that Teacher Bai moves a lot, touching my arm here and my thigh there accidentally.

Although I understand that actors are not sensitive to body language, there are really a lot of movements.

"I'm just a little excited. Wolf Tooth is heading for 2 billion, and it will make us proud." Liu Tao patted his thigh, not hers, but Shen Santong's.

stunned.

With a bit of embarrassment, her face turned red: "Sorry, I'm taking a break too."

The crew had already booked her room, so Liu Tao said goodbye.

Shen Santong was also speechless. Liu Tao was using his acting skills.

But the moment of daze was real, whoever touches it will understand, and the rest is just acting.

Returning to his room, Shen Santong felt that things were not over yet.

After thinking about it, I took out the DV from my bag, opened it, and placed it on the bedside table in the hotel.

Don't be afraid of a thousand things, be prepared for the worst, so that people will give up when they see difficulties.

Mainly, I feel that the level of the big sisters in the entertainment industry is indeed high, and I’m afraid that the defense line can’t hold up.

If he does not retreat, it also means that he is innocent.

It wasn't his initiative to take the black car!

The life assistant reported: "Ms. Liu Tao is here."

"Whatever it is, if it's work, it will be done tomorrow. Let her have a good rest. The details are not very important."

"No, Ms. Liu Tao said her bag was left behind."

Where did the bag come from? Shen Santong was curious and had a bit of expectation, so he opened the door.

"Sorry, Director Shen, I seem to have left something behind." Liu Tao walked in.

She changed her clothes into a black suspender and closed the door.

"I don't have it here, is it in the lobby?" Shen Santong wanted to go over and open the door.

This assistant is really something. He can even ask people to close the door. Does he know how to read people’s expressions?

Liu Tao blocked Shen Santong for a moment, put one hand on Shen Santong's chest, and said naturally: "It might be the specialty bag. Director Shen, the specialty I gave you was specially prepared. It was not bought by the assistant. It might have fallen in there."

She pushed him, but Shen Santong didn't retreat. He stopped and said, "The specialty is in the cabinet in the hallway, not in the room."

Liu Tao pushed but failed. He raised his head and looked into Shen Santong's eyes with a smile on his face: "Sorry, I'm a little anxious."

Using eye skills, eye contact is the easiest way to create ambiguity.

She didn't hide it, so there was no need to conceal it.

If you knock on the door at this time, everyone will understand. There is no other reason. Everyone knows what to do.

Her breath is as sweet as orchid. She either brushed her teeth or rinsed her mouth before coming.

It seems like she had porcelain teeth. To do this, the original teeth had to be ground off. I wonder if it has been done now.

"Don't be impatient, see if it's in the cabinet?" Shen Santong pointed.

Liu Tao couldn't help but be stunned. Shen Santong's eyes were extremely clear, and he just stared at her, causing her to lower her head.

She really didn't know whether Shen Santong was of a high level or was just really serious. She tended to believe the former.

Meet your opponent!
I turned around and found a white bag in the cabinet at the exit, and sure enough, there was a very small bag inside.

Shen Santong sighed that his elder sister was very cunning, and the foreshadowing of sending local specialties was here.

Liu Tao was excited to find the bag. She jumped for a moment like a little girl: "We women just like these bags. Aren't they beautiful?"

It would be bad if I didn't jump, because once I jumped the suspenders I wore would be a little loose.

The old shoulder is extremely slippery.

There was no way out. She had too little contact with Shen Santong. He left after the roadshow without even staying. She was also in a passive position and could only play straight.

It's really good.

For a moment, Shen Santong's eyes widened.

My elder sister is really amazing.

"Oops, sorry." Liu Tao reacted, covered his face with his hands and bent down.

It's fine if it's not bent, but if it's bent the whole thing falls off.

Shen Santong looked and found nothing.

"Sister Tao, there is really no need to do this, and you don't need to do this either." Shen Santong didn't close his eyes and looked at her openly.

She had encountered situations where the elder sister acted like this before, so she couldn't be weak at this time, otherwise she might really lose control.

It’s a bit of a pity, Liu Tao is really capable, but Shen Santong does have principles.

He doesn't drive an illegal taxi, so he's not that thirsty. Anyone can do it.

"Can you help me?" Liu Tao was a little surprised. This didn't work. Could it be that his intuition was wrong?

She still had to give it a try, she really didn't care much, given her current situation, Shen Santong was half a generation younger than him, and good-looking, she tried chatting in the restaurant and was very attractive.

Putting aside all the nonsense, we can still be friends.

"help?"

"Help me lift it."

Shen Santong squatted down and lifted up the clothes at his heels, then he saw his feet move and he looked up.

What the hell!

Shen Santong's heart was shocked. This angle exceeded the safe distance.

Teacher Bai is firing on all cylinders.
"Sister Tao, I am really optimistic about your future."

After helping him, Shen Santong remained a gentleman: "The difficulty you are facing now is nothing, it will definitely pass, there is no need to be like this."

I really admire Liu Tao. Shen Santong prefers people with strong fighting spirit.

He doesn't object to this. It is a good thing to have the motivation to climb up. If a person does not have a certain persistence, he is destined to go not far.

Liu Tao came from a cultural troupe and developed a tenacious character. After recovering, he went south to Guangzhou to make a living. It was only 1996 at that time, which shows that he had ambition.

He was a talented person along the way. In 00, he had the first turning point in his life and Guangdong TV station was in charge of filming "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Son-in-law".

The director recommended Liu Tao to Dong Zhiyong, who had produced hit TV series such as "Love in the Pearl River" and "Peaceful Times". Dong Zhiyong, who is also the deputy director and well-known producer, took a liking to Liu Tao at first sight and decided that the role of "Sachiko" belonged to her.

The reason is that Liu Tao has a good image, which was given by her parents, so Shu Lisheng, who plays Mrs. Zhu, and Liu Xiaoguo, who plays Director Zhao, were asked to help her by bringing up the old and the new.

At that time, status was not a concern. Veteran actors in the system also had a fixed salary, so it was not surprising for the old to bring up the new.

After that, she played supporting roles in a series of hit TV series, including the Burmese princess in "My Fair Princess 3", Azhu in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and Qi Ruyu in "The Last Empress". Her co-stars ranged from Zhou Jie, Hu Jun to Jiang Qinqin, and Liu Tao's fame spread from Guangdong to the whole country.

Liu Tao is definitely very scheming. It’s not easy for anyone to make it in the entertainment industry.

He was just interested in Liu Tao's commercial value. Judging from the results in later generations, it was really easy to make money from hundreds of millions of debts.

Of course, Shen Santong will not take on the debt, and the cooperation must follow normal working procedures.

He had previously considered a certain female star to be the queen of TV, but in the end she ran away.

He doesn't have a collecting habit, and he just cooperates normally and is happy to help others.

"The more you say that, the more excited I get."

Liu Tao was acting a bit, and at this moment he was getting a little emotionally involved.

With a hook, he directly put his hands around the back of his head.

Shen Santong had tried his best to persuade her and had done his job. If he refused again, it would be offensive, so he could only let things take their course.

There's no need for a kiss, just press down.

"Little brother, you are naughty." Liu Tao naturally knew what he meant and looked at him charmingly.

This taste is just right!

She was sure that Shen Santong was interested in her, but she was also a little surprised.

Shen Santong sighed. It was not a weakness, but it was still a weakness.

Although it was my first time driving a black car, I felt full of guilt.
