Chapter 76 Embarrassment

Early the next morning, Yi Chang flew back to Beijing with Sheng Yueze.

When they parted, Sheng Yueze said to him: "I'm going to stay in Beijing for a while, call me if you have anything to do."

"okay."

He was going to ask him what he was doing here, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask, so he dragged his luggage and went to catch the car.

When he arrived at the venue, he was immediately informed of the news: Peng Xiwen could not continue to participate in the screenwriting of the film because he had to take care of his family members who were hospitalized. She transferred the power to him and asked him to take full responsibility for subsequent necessary changes.

Although the current script is already very safe and there is no need for drastic changes, such unprecedented trust still makes him very touched.

Zhong Ming said to him: "Since she has said so, we have no objection. Xiwen and I are old friends, and I trust her vision. Don't put any pressure on you, we will overcome any difficulties together."

He nodded and said, "Thank you Director Zhong, I understand."

The subsequent shooting pace was much faster than before, and working overnight is already the norm.It may be that the repeated bankruptcy of the previous plan made everyone a little uneasy. The sooner the work takes shape, the more stable the heart will be.

During the last week in Beijing, several cameo actors will join the filming one after another, including Yi Chang's former colleague Ji Zihao.

Ji Zihao was still participating in an event in other places and couldn't arrive in time, but his agent came to the crew first.

At that time, Yi Chang was helping to arrange the props, and heard Ji Zihao's manager say a few words to Zhong Ming.Zhong Ming was probably overwhelmed, so he pointed to Yi Chang impatiently, answered him a few words and left.

"It's... Yi Chang, right?" After a while, the man walked up to him and said.

He looked up, smiled and said, "Yes, hello."

The other party didn't seem to want to get too close to him, ignored his extended hand, and said reluctantly: "That's right, I heard Director Zhong said that you are in charge of screenwriting, so I wanted to come over and ask you, can you help me?" Hao added some roles. Because there are too few roles at present, and he is busy going around outside now, it is not worthwhile to delay other announcements and travel all the way to stay for a day or two."

He froze for a moment, and said, "Zihao's play... just wait a moment."

He took out the script he carried with him, turned to the two or three pages where Ji Zihao's part was located, and read it carefully.

The man stood aside in a daze. He didn't expect this little star to seriously consider it. What he expected was that he would agree without hesitation, so there would be so much trouble.

After a while, Yi Chang said directly to him: "I'm sorry, Zihao's role is already complete, there is no need to add another one, but there is still a lot of room for development. Director Zhong also supports the creative freedom of actors. I think He doesn't have to worry too much about the role."

The other party's face darkened, "We have also read the script, and we can let him appear again in the follow-up. Wouldn't it be better to have a back and forth?"

"This..." He felt a little headache, and explained: "We still have to consider the overall story, and it doesn't mean that we can add it."

In fact, no matter how big or small a movie star is, most of them start from small roles at first. Making such a request is too different from Ji Ji's actors who in his impression value the quality of the work rather than the size of the role.

This role is only a small clue to promote the plot. If unnecessary scenes are forcibly added, it will only overwhelm the guests and the quality of the film may be affected.Of course, he wouldn't tell the person in front of him this, it would only arouse the other party's greater dissatisfaction.

The man still didn't give up, and argued with him a few more words. In the end, he had no choice but to say: "If Zihao still insists, I think it's better to talk to Director Zhong directly, and he still has the final decision-making power."

As he expected, the other party glanced at him impatiently and left, saying: "Who do you think you are..."

He squeezed his temples and sat there for a while.

Then he took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Peng Xiwen to inquire about her situation. While editing, he wondered if he should mention this matter to her.

But based on what he knew of her, they would not disagree on this matter.As for Director Zhong, he wasn't too sure.

One of the most important tricks he has learned in the past few years in the entertainment industry is to admit defeat in time and not to show off.He just hoped that things would go the way he wanted.

Two days later, Ji Zihao joined the group together with two rookie male stars that Sheng Ye favored.

Although it is a serious feature film, based on the market demand, the director found a few handsome men and beauties who are very popular at the moment to attract the attention of the public. There were some extra cutscenes.

Yi Chang's roles in Beijing have all ended, and he will help with chores in the next few days, and then wait to go south together for the final finishing touches.

At noon that day, he took a boxed lunch to the place where he usually eats, and found that Ji Zihao was sitting and chatting with two boys.Sitting next to them was the leading actress who played the leading role in the film. When they saw him, they called out familiarly: "Hey Yichang! Come and sit with us!"

He hadn't seen his former colleague for a long time, and he was very happy to meet him here again, so he walked to the seat opposite Ji Zihao and sat down, only to find that the other person's face was not good-looking, and the two people beside him also lowered their eyes to him.

The leading actress exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, saying that she hadn't seen him for the past few days, and that in the two scenes she re-shot, the rival actors kept forgetting their words, which made them all tormented to death.

He broke off the disposable chopsticks and said, "It's just to help with some work. There are quite a lot of messy things on the crew. You can leave together after the filming is over."

The leading actress pursed her lips, glanced at him and Ji Zihao and said, "Hey, you belong to the same company, right?"

Before Yi Chang could answer, Ji Zihao, who had been silent all this time, said, "It used to be."

"Well, we were colleagues before." He took a bite of his meal and said to Ji Zihao, "Zihao, how are you doing? Is everything going well?"

"That's it, what about you?" The other party smiled at him, "It should be good, after you have a new owner."

He paused for a moment with his chopsticks, and before he could speak, the female lead asked, "Who is your new boss?"

At this time, the male star opposite her burst out laughing, and deliberately lowered his voice with surprise on his face: "You don't know? Are you disconnected from the Internet?"

"I don't know, I..." She felt that she was excluded from the topic, but she also vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she didn't mention it again.

Yi Chang only smiled, and was silent for a while, before saying to the opposite human: "Are you still used to being in the crew? Is Director Zhong very strict..."

Before he could finish speaking, a glass of drink was splashed on his face.

He closed his eyes, and the gas-filled liquid slowly flowed into his collar along his neck, sending out bursts of coolness.

The female lead let out an exclamation, and the two male stars were shocked for a moment, but their eyes were quickly replaced by indifference.

"How could you be so shameless?" Ji Zihao stood up with his lips pursed, and looked at the person in front of him with disgust: "It's really disgusting."

Some people who passed by cast their gazes at them, and the leading actress hurriedly shook her hand at them: "There's nothing to look at, don't look at it! Yi Chang, are you alright?..."

When the three people on the opposite side left one after another, Yi Chang blinked, took the handkerchief handed over to him and wiped it, and said, "Thank you, I'm fine."

In the afternoon, the assistant director called the main creators to have a small meeting and talked about some future plans.

During the period, the assistant director and the producer had disagreements on issues such as the release time. After a long debate, there was no definite result. Several actors sat quietly on the sidelines and did not dare to make a sound.

Yi Chang lowered his head slightly and was lost in thought.There was still a sour smell on the clothes. After lunch, he was called to help bring the extras, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes.

After the meeting was over, it was getting dark, so he walked alone to a park next to the venue to relax.

This park is next to the shooting site, with streams and hills, the scenery is good, and usually only the performers will come to hang out and rest.These days, there are three or four crews rushing to work at the same time, and the park is already very lively at this time.

Before he took a few steps, he heard a familiar voice under the big tree in front of him.

"I think you are a little fat."

"It's been so long since I've come up, I said I'm fat!"

He got closer and found that the person was Sheng Yueze. A slim female star was standing opposite him, teasing him with a coquettish voice. Sheng Yueze smiled happily. It seemed that the two had a good relationship.

Through the light, he could see the woman's thick eyelashes and the shadow cast on her flawless skin.

Looking at it, he lost his mind.

At this moment, the woman's face overlapped with that of his sister's, forming a romantic scene with the man opposite.

……

His heart skipped a beat.Probably because the newly changed clothes were a bit thick, and he was sweating a little. He just turned around and wanted to go back, but he was stopped.

He turned his head and found that the woman had already left. Sheng Yueze walked towards him and said, "I was looking for you. Come back to Shanghai with me first, and say hello to Zhong Ming."

"Is there... is there anything urgent?" He glanced around, and unconsciously avoided the hand extended by the other party, "If there is no hurry, I'd better stay here first."

"My business is urgent, let's go."

The other party accurately grabbed his arm, with a triumphant smile on his face.

After getting his luggage and getting in the car, Sheng Yueze glanced at the person beside him who was in a daze as soon as he got up, and leaned over to fasten his seat belt.

The temperature suddenly approaching in front of him, and the faint smell of high-end men's perfume, made the sitting person tense up involuntarily.

Yi Chang suddenly felt a little dry and hot.He pressed the button to lower the car window halfway, watched the street scene passing by, and tried to calm his breath.

After a while, Sheng Yueze said, "There is a reception at eight o'clock in the evening, let's go together."

"It's so fast..." He looked at his clothes, "It's inconvenient for me."

Even if he rushed to the airport to fly to Shanghai immediately, he would still be in a hurry, and the other party's impromptu style made him a little overwhelmed.

"Isn't it all right to change the clothes there, right in the box?"

He nodded silently, resting his head on the back of the chair and closing his eyes.

The scene at noon is still playing repeatedly.

It took him a while to get used to the new life, using the word nurturing to explain the relationship between him and Sheng Yueze, but when others used this fact as a reason to reject him, he really realized what the price he had paid .

In addition to physical obedience, it is also a sacrifice of reputation and self-esteem.He had to do it, climbing up amidst all kinds of strange eyes and voices.

But at the same time, he also realized that perhaps the worst thing now is not the criticism from the outside world.

But when facing Sheng Yueze, his mood changed.

Suddenly, the car stopped.

He thought it was the airport, but when he opened his eyes, he found that they were parked next to a convenience store.

Sheng Yueze said to him, "Go buy a bottle of soda."

He responded a little blankly, and asked, "What flavor?"

"What flavor did that person splash you with at noon?"

"……how do you know?"

He knew that this kind of gossip spread quickly, but he didn't expect it to reach Sheng Yueze's ears before the day arrived.

The other party only said: "Go if you are told."

He was speechless, so he went into the supermarket and randomly picked a bottle of orange soda, brought it into the car, handed it to Sheng Yueze, and asked, "What do you want this for?"

"Open the bottle."

He unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to him, but heard him say: "Splash it on my face."

"...What?" Yi Chang frowned, suspecting that something might be wrong with his ears.

"Aren't you unhappy because of this? I'll give you a chance to vent." Sheng Yueze raised his eyebrows, "Splash."

Seeing that he didn't respond, he grabbed the soda in his hand and poured it on his face.In an instant, the orange liquid hung on the fair face like a waterfall, falling drop by drop.

Yi Chang was stunned by his action for a few seconds, and when he wanted to raise his hand to continue pouring out the rest, he reached out and snatched the bottle back.

"Are you sick?!" He squeezed the deflated bottle and stared at him in disbelief.

The other party laughed a few times, licked his lips and said, "Is it cool now?"

"you……"

He was too shocked to speak.Every day with Sheng Yueze will be frightened, like a farce that has not been choreographed at all.

Sheng Yueze took out a piece of paper from the tissue box hanging by the rearview mirror, wiped his chin casually, pulled his soaked clothes, and said, "Well...it's quite uncomfortable."

The car started again and slowly drove up the road.

"If he wants to splash you, you also splash it back. Isn't it a very simple matter?" The man turned the steering wheel and said, "At that time, I admitted that I was cowardly, but now I'm bored in my heart and refuse to speak out. You really like self-torture."

Yi Chang took a deep breath, thinking that no matter how much I like self-torture, it is more normal than you who go crazy at every turn.

But for some reason, looking at the other party's eyelashes still stained with soda, and his eyes focused on the road ahead, he actually felt better.

He shook his head, couldn't help but smile, and raised his hand to close the car window.
