Xu Lu's new drama is on the air, and the boyfriend in the drama breaks up with a magic trick. What do you think of this?

I watched it with a smile, and I can only say that life is like a play, and play is like life.

The name of Xu Lu's new drama is "Good Times, Beautiful Views, Good Times". It is adapted from a popular online novel and was filmed in early 2019.

In the play, Xu Lu plays the female star Liang Chen. Her ex-boyfriend is Yue Yuxun, who is also an artist.

Yue Yuxun may appear to be a talented person, but deep down he is an out-and-out scumbag. He cheats on the popular young flower Meng Lanzhi behind Liang Chen’s back.

As a result, he was accidentally photographed by the paparazzi. Unable to bear the pressure, Yue Yuxun asked Liang Chen to issue a statement saying that the two had broken up long ago in order to restore his reputation.

On the other side, in order to protect herself, Meng Lanzhi posted a screenshot of her chat with Yue Yuxun, saying that she had broken up with Yue Yuxun. The reason why she was with Yue Yuxun in the first place was because Yue Yuxun lied to her and said that they would be together soon. Will break up with Liang Chen.

Do you feel that this plot is strangely familiar?

Moreover, this plot reflects Xu Lu herself.

These three characters in the play all have corresponding characters in reality.

Liang Chen corresponds to Xu Lu, Yue Yuxun corresponds to Zhang Mingen, and Meng Lanzhi corresponds to Hu Bingqing.

The matter begins in 2020. In the public’s mind at that time, Xu Lu and Zhang Mingen were still a very good couple.

But one day in June, intimate photos of Zhang Mingen and Hu Bingqing were suddenly exposed, triggering heated discussions among netizens.

Because the two previously collaborated on the TV series "Insect Totem", many people speculated that they fell in love because of the drama.

Hu Bingqing strongly denied the relationship, while Zhang Mingen issued a clarification, saying that he was single at the end of 2019.

The implication is that he did not cheat on her, but ended his previous relationship before starting to date his next one.

Of course, this is only Zhang Mingen's unilateral statement, because Xu Lu's response is completely different from his statement.

In other words, Zhang Mingen posted an article saying that he was single, just like Yue Yuxun in "Good Times, Beautiful Views", in order to calm public opinion and restore reputation.

Faced with Zhang Mingen’s post, Xu Lu did not respond too much, but the matter did not stop either.

Because within a few days, news came out that Xu Lu’s agent and Hu Bingqing’s agent were at odds with each other.

Following this, Zhang Mingen appeared at Hu Bingqing's residence and was photographed again, which was tantamount to a slap in the face of Hu Bingqing.

She keeps saying that she is not dating Zhang Mingen, but she is constantly photographed in the same frame, and netizens ridicule her.

This time, before Zhang Mingen could say anything, Hu Bingqing began to speak first.

In an interview with the media, she said that Zhang Mingen was indeed pursuing her, but she did not agree.

As for the suspected intimate photos taken, she also gave an explanation.

According to Hu Bingqing, it was Zhang Mingen who was asking about his response to his confession.

At the same time, Hu Bingqing also broke the news to the media that after the video of her and Zhang Mingen was exposed, Zhang Mingen taught her how to deal with Xu Lu.

Zhang Mingen asked Hu Bingqing to publicize that Xu Lu had been bullied online, because Xu Lu had bullied others online before, so it was easy to bring Xu Lu in.

He also said: "You two girls will fight each other, and this matter will be over."

Maybe Zhang Mingen thought Hu Bingqing was easy to coax, but he didn't expect his A series of words and deeds seemed horrifying to Hu Bingqing, so she decided to expose him while denying that she was a mistress.

In order to prove that what he said was true, Hu Bingqing also released a recording of the chat with Zhang Mingen.

Public opinion was in an uproar for a while, and Zhang Mingen's label of "scumbag" was completely confirmed.

Comparing "Good Times, Beautiful Views, Good Times", Hu Bingqing's words and deeds are exactly the same as Meng Lanzhi's.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Lu, like Liang Chen in the play, cuts through the mess quickly and does not have much nostalgia for the "scumbag".

After such a comparison, people can't help but think of the sentence "This story is purely fictional, and any similarities are purely coincidental."

To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that this drama was filmed in 2019, many people would have thought that Xu Lu was connoting Zhang Mingen.

But the world is such a coincidence, no wonder many netizens ridiculed Zhang Mingen and Hu Bingqing, asking them if they had read the original work, so they followed the script.

Abandon the plot, let’s talk about reality.

After that incident, the reputations of Zhang Mingen and Hu Bingqing plummeted. Especially Zhang Mingen. He was originally a promising actor, but since he was labeled a "scumbag", he has been in a state of "no such person" in the entertainment industry.

Moreover, every time a celebrity artist is exposed to cheating news, he will be pulled out for comparison and discussion, and he has become a negative example.

Old artists often say, "Become a human before doing art." Zhang Mingen made himself a laughing stock because he didn't cherish his feathers.

I don’t know if he has watched Xu Lu’s new drama, let alone what his mood was when watching it.

If "Good Times, Beautiful Views, Good Times" was played when he and Xu Lu were passionately in love, would everything that followed still happen?

Unfortunately, there are never what-ifs in this world. You can start over after filming the TV series NG, but there is no regret medicine in life.
