Between Luze and Muchen, they could barely be considered acquaintances, let alone understand each other. However, after several encounters, Luze has already been able to grasp Muchen's temper. He has a quick temper, easily getting angry at the slightest provocation, and he doesn't seem to restrain his emotions.

He thought that according to Mu Chen's temper, just now when he said those words, Mu Chen would get angry and throw a fit, cursing at him. Unexpectedly, Mu Chen remained unusually calm.

However, something seems off about his expression. Did he go too far with his words?

One morning, they filmed a scene multiple times, but Mu Chen kept making mistakes, which infuriated Lu Ze. After all, Mu Chen was now a well-known actor, so Lu Ze couldn't understand why he kept messing up his lines. That's why he said those words. Lu Ze felt he might have been a bit too blunt, making Mu Chen feel uncomfortable. However, he didn't think he was in the wrong for saying what he did. In this society, it's all about survival of the fittest, and he didn't want his time to be wasted in vain.

"Thank you for the water." Mu Chen appeared very calm, without any intention of getting angry. After thanking Lu Ze, he took the script and headed to the shooting location. While holding the script, he read the lines and practiced his movement.

He didn't want to be looked down upon.

Lu Ze also returned to the rest area. It was break time, so he asked the staff to retrieve his mobile phone.

Because "Plucking Stars and Embracing the Moon" is recorded live, actors are strictly forbidden from bringing their mobile phones during filming to prevent sudden ringing that would disrupt the recording. This is also to minimize any instances of breaking the fourth wall, as it would be heavily criticized by the audience if a mobile phone were to unexpectedly appear in a period fantasy martial arts drama.

Mu Chen has been working in the industry for several years. He has appeared in over a dozen TV shows and movies, but he always seems to make mistakes with his lines. This piques Luo Ze's curiosity. How has he managed to survive all these years?

So, Lu Ze took out his cellphone and went online. He typed in Mu Chen's name in the search bar.

Mu Chen is indeed a popular male artist. The search results number in the millions and the sheer amount is astounding. His personal website also boasts a staggering number of fans.

Lu Ze clicked into Mu Chen's personal profile from the website's homepage.

But the information on the official website is of little use to Lu Ze. Apart from basic personal information such as age and gender, it only includes the television dramas, films, songs, and albums he has participated in over the years.

After taking a few glances, Lu Ze backed out. Among the other search results, there were quite a few criticizing Mu Chen's acting skills.

Some people believe that the reason for Mu Chenhong's popularity is probably because of his attractive appearance. Otherwise, with his acting skills and temperament, it would be difficult for him to become famous in the entertainment circle.

Some even suspect that the backer behind Mu Chen is a high-ranking female executive from the Star Feather Company. That's why the company goes all out to support such a talentless artist. However, this is just speculation from some optimistic netizens as there is no evidence to support it.

There was one thing that surprised Luo Ze a little: apart from the rumor that had circulated about him half a year ago, there hadn't been any other scandals regarding his love life in recent years.

Looking at it this way, he really is a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry. It's quite surprising that a male artist who relies on his looks hasn't been involved in any scandalous rumors.

However, what surprised Lu Ze even more was that among the many posts defaming Mu Chen, it was revealed that Mu Chen only had a high school education.

When someone becomes famous, there is bound to be controversy. Some netizens even claimed to be his high school classmates and posted photos of Mu Chen from his high school days, saying that he used to be ugly and loser-looking, but has now transformed into a beautiful young idol who is adored by female fans, suggesting that he has undergone plastic surgery.

Whether or not undergoing plastic surgery is not Luo Ze's concern. In the entertainment industry, there are numerous artists who have undergone plastic surgery for their careers, which is quite common. However, if what netizens say is true, that Mu Chen started his career right after graduating from high school, then as Mu Chen just mentioned, he has been through a lot of hardships. His current achievements in the showbiz industry are not easily attained.
