The big star has a prince syndrome

The afternoon in midsummer is the hottest time of the day, especially in the last month of summer. It is so hot that the cicadas in the trees raise their decibels, which is annoying to hear.

A group scene was being filmed at the indoor shooting site across the wall. This was the scene in which Xu Qingran would appear. He had already changed into a cool black costume and was standing in his position. The director and other staff members sitting in front of the monitor behind the camera were watching the picture on the screen and praising it highly.

"It's really good, very photogenic, and the eyes are very dramatic."

"Yeah, with these conditions, any shot will look good... If the male lead wasn't Ye Yan, I don't think this method would work. He would steal the show in a minute."

"It's great like this now, it's visually very impactful. How about contacting the screenwriter to give Xu Qingran some more scenes?"

"That's not good. This is already a two-male lead drama. If we highlight another male character with such good conditions, it will be a bit too much. It won't have much impact on Ye Yan, as he has a completely unique style. But it will suppress Yu Fei's presence. It's fine as it is. The highlight is his stunning appearance."

"My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. The two male protagonists are brothers. Under the brotherhood, if Ronan (Ye Yan's character name) had a special relationship line between a young master and a younger brother, showing loyalty and righteousness, and the two did not affect each other, don't you think Ronan is too pitiful? A younger brother alone can't redeem him. I think the audience would rather see that in such a painful and difficult life, there is still someone who lives for him. If there is such a character, don't you think the plot will be more perfect..."

The sudden burst of inspiration from the artist director stunned the listeners around him. The producer wearing sunglasses behind him seemed to have received an inspiration. He lowered his head and pushed his glasses. After a brief consideration, he immediately raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The assistant immediately understood and walked to his side, waiting for him to speak.

"Immediately notify the screenwriter to have a video conference at 2 pm."

“Okay, Mr. Wang.”

They seemed to have found the inspiration to add the icing on the cake, which had to be put into practice no matter what.

Xu Qingran successfully completed this scene. He only had five words of dialogue, and the remaining one minute or so was all background scenes, but he was in the picture the whole time, and there were even close-up shots. The effect was surprisingly good.

"Oh my god, it's so hot... Assistant Xu, would you consider signing a film and television contract with the company? This would allow you to earn extra money in the future. Maybe one day you'll become an overnight sensation."

After returning to Ye Yan's rest room, Tan Zhuoxi complained about the weather and did not forget to persuade Xu Qingran to change his career. After all, even Pei Sujun had given him this suggestion, and he had to take it seriously now. However, Xu Qingran was obviously not interested. He silently took away Tan Zhuoxi's hand on his shoulder and politely declined:

"I came to the entertainment industry to be an assistant, not an artist. Brother Zhuo, I'm just as unruly as the boss. You'd better give up on this idea."

While they were chatting, Ye Yan was sitting on the side eating cold red devil shrimp sashimi with disposable gloves. Xu Qingran's words were interesting. Ye Yan looked up at him and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then she lowered her eyes and scooped out the shrimp roe and shrimp brain with a spoon and put them into her mouth.

Xu Qingran was stunned. He didn't have a strong taste for raw food, so when he saw Ye Yan liked it, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Boss, you eat shrimp brains raw too, don't they smell fishy?"

"You haven't eaten it?" Ye Yan asked back. Xu Qingran suddenly felt a little embarrassed, thinking to himself, I don't even eat sashimi, let alone this fresh brain. I really don't dare to eat it.

"No, I've only tried sashimi." Xu Qingran answered truthfully and smiled brightly at Ye Yan. There was nothing to be ashamed of, and it was not worth him lying.

“Oh, do you want to try it?”

Ye Yan took the initiative to invite her, but the first person to respond was Tan Zhuoxi. He was jealous, and the long-lost emotional card was once again put on the table:

"Aren't you going to treat me? I've been with you for so many years, through thick and thin, working as your agent and then as your nanny. Last time, you paid two hundred for crabs, and this time, you're treating him like a premium red devil shrimp. You're so generous to him, aren't you afraid we'll get jealous?"

"Don't interrupt me when I'm not talking to you. If you're allergic to seafood, don't act like you're allergic to it in front of me. I'll make you eat it."

Ye Yan ruthlessly complained, "So Brother Zhuo is allergic to seafood?" Xu Qingran finally knew the secret and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh. Brother Wen and Brother Sheng, who were eating their boxed lunches, almost spit food all over each other's faces. It was hard to hold back their laughter.

"So you remember it. That's okay...you guys eat." Tan Zhuoxi said awkwardly and withdrew from this meaningless competition for favor early.

"What are you laughing at? I asked you if you want to eat?" Ye Yan turned around and saw Xu Qingran still smiling mysteriously. This sentence scared his expression and turned serious in an instant.

"Okay..." He agreed with a wry smile. He actually didn't like eating raw food. It was especially difficult for him to imagine what it tasted like. He was scared, but he didn't want to refuse Ye Yan's kindness, so he silently pulled out the chair in front of him and sat down.

"Take it yourself." Ye Yan said generously, and pushed the box of shrimps to the middle of the table. There were still three shrimps in it. Xu Qingran couldn't help but swallow his saliva of fear, pretended to be calm, reached out and took one, then exhaled and began to peel the shrimps.

Help me, why didn't I refuse him? What am I afraid of him for? Xu Qingran wailed inwardly, but when he looked up, he saw Ye Yan stuffing the fresh shrimp into his mouth. The words of backing out were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them because this was Ye Yan's favorite food. He was willing to share what he liked, so how could he not appreciate it? So he imitated Ye Yan's method and opened the skull of the red devil shrimp. Looking at the fresh shrimp brain, he gritted his teeth and sucked it all into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Ye Yan asked Xu Qingran, taking off her gloves, picking up his water cup and leisurely drinking a sip of hot water to neutralize the coldness of the food and prevent stomach colds.

“How can something you like not be delicious?”

Xu Qingran gave an affirmative answer, but it sounded inexplicably strange. Ye Yan was dazed and did not answer. He silently took a piece of paper and wiped his hands. Of course, Xu Qingran did not think there was anything wrong with what he said. The shrimps were much more delicious than he had imagined. They were sweet and not fishy at all. Sure enough, Ye Yan's preferences were not disappointing. He thought, it would be even better if there was a little more light soy sauce.

This time the crew was in H City, and it was the first time that Xu Qingran went out with the team and stayed in a hotel after joining the company. When he was going back home after work in the evening, he happened to meet Ji Yunzhi who had just finished work in the hotel lobby.

Ji Yunzhi and Ye Yan were originally ordinary friends, but after some things happened, Ye Yan began to avoid him. As for the detailed reasons, Ye Yan would not tell others.

"Ye Zi, did you just finish work? Are you hungry? Do you want to have a midnight snack together? It's my treat."

The two top stars in the entertainment industry met together. Their teams of more than ten people met in the lobby, and even the elevators had to be divided into two groups. It was a grand occasion.

It’s Ye Zi again, why are you pretending to be so familiar... Xu Qingran thought to himself, he didn’t like this person, he disliked him from the bottom of his heart, even though he was the most handsome man in Asia, the two of them had never met.

"No, I'm tired and want to go back to sleep. You guys eat."

Ye Yan, wearing a mask and a beret, looked at him politely and then declined him. It was an expected result and Ji Yunzhi was not surprised at all. While waiting for the elevator, he stood next to Ye Yan and continued to chat with him.

"I have something I want to talk to you about. I'll come to your room later. You know I'm working with Zhu Cheng. She asked me to help persuade you to film a TV series with her. Can you give me a chance and let me sit in your place for a while as a way to deal with her?"

"She asked you to be her lobbyist? That must be hard work for you. But I'm tired after filming action scenes all day. I want to sleep. If you have anything to say, just send me a message. Good night."

The two elevators came down at the same time, so the two teams got on two elevators respectively and separated on the spot. The security of this hotel was very good, and there were no paparazzi or fans to disturb them. Ji Yunzhi was rejected, and seeing his frustrated look, Xu Qingran felt inexplicably refreshed.

The reason why Ye Yan didn't meet with Ji Yunzhi alone was not because she was really tired, but because there was an irreparable gap between them for Ye Yan.

Ji Yunzhi: Ye Zi, I... like you. It doesn't matter if you don't cooperate. Can you give me a place in your heart? Even a corner, please don't kick me out.

Ye Yan was lying on the bed, looking at this sentence in the chat history between him and Ji Yunzhi with complicated eyes. After a moment of silence, he deleted the message. He was not scared, because there were so many men and women who confessed to him, not just Ji Yunzhi. But Ji Yunzhi was different from those people. He was Ye Yan's nominal friend. When a friend confessed to him, this friendship ended.

Xu Qingran and Tan Zhuoxi lived in the same room next to Ye Yan. After washing up and turning off the lights, he lay on the bed and flipped through the photo album on his phone. Those were the stills of Ye Yan he had taken today. Any one of them could be used as a promotional poster. He didn't know whether it was because he was too talented in photography or because Ye Yan had a face that was photogenic from every angle. He created a separate album for these photos and was about to name it. His finger paused on the screen for a long time, and after thinking, he silently typed two words, [Unknown].

Because Xu Qingran was so photogenic, the director imagined a life-and-death relationship between a gangster's young master and his loyal younger brother. So in order to integrate his inspiration into the existing plot, the producer had to temporarily notify the screenwriter to add more scenes for the character who originally didn't even have a name and came to Xu Qingran's rescue. The producer of "Under the Sun" agreed on the spot, so this matter saved a lot of troublesome procedures such as reporting to the leaders, and the producer's words basically finalized it.

The next day, when Xu Qingran arrived at the shooting site and heard about this incident, his first feeling was that this matter had become a big deal.
