He had first met Mo Xicheng when he joined the show business. The two had hit it off immediately and became friends.
Later on, Mo Xicheng had played a number of supporting roles in Shen Liangchuan's movies.
Shen Liangchuan was the lead and Mo Xicheng, as the supporting actor, had to tone down so as to not steal the lead's thunder. But the fact was that they were pretty much on par in terms of capabilities, and Shen Liangchuan knew that someone like Mo Xicheng had greater potential than himself to make it big, if the man really wanted to.
Hence, Shen Liangchuan had always found Mo Xicheng's situation regrettable.
In fact, he had shortened his holiday with Qiao Lian at the Qinhuangdao when he heard that Mo Xicheng was coming for the event. He had come back to Beijing with Qiao Lian to attend this event and support Mo Xicheng.
