The big star has a prince syndrome

Chapter 24 Filming together

"Master, do you really want to listen to your brother and hand over all the secrets of Whale Sea to the police?"

A ray of setting sun streamed into the room through the window. Gao Qi was squatting in front of Ronan, changing the gauze on his injured hand. One of Ronan's legs was on another stool. That was when he was trading in the mountains last time and fell down the hillside while being chased by the police, breaking his bones. The doctor said that he might never be able to run again after he recovered, but it didn't matter. Compared with his tragic life, not being able to run was like a fish without hot water to drink.

"I don't know..." Ronan said indifferently, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his side face, and the shadow of his hair just covered his eyes. There was clearly a place where light came in, but the light could not reach his eyes.

He looked at Gao Qi in front of him, who was carefully helping him wrap new gauze. This was his most loyal believer in the Whale Sea. Perhaps before the matter was over, the only man Ronan could trust was this man who was willing to kneel for him.

"Gao Qi, from the day my father picked me up, I could never go back to my original world. I have no so-called relatives anymore. Any of the things I've done could get me imprisoned for more than ten years. Yan Jin can't protect me, but I'm really tired. Tell me, do I still have a chance to start over?"

He was only in his 20s, but he had already experienced the hardships and bloodshed of life. His 20 years were more wonderful than anyone else's life, but there was no sweetness in this excitement. He looked at Gao Qi, as if waiting for an answer that could redeem himself.

"Of course I have. I've been so cruel for so many years, so I'll be cruel one last time. As long as you want to start over, as long as you want to live for yourself, no one can stop you. Give the things to Yan Jin, get rid of Jinghai completely, and fly away."

This was Gao Qi's answer and his idea. Is this okay? Ronan didn't know. He grew up in the Whale Sea Gang. His adoptive father taught him to be a shady person, but at least saved his life. He also let him grow up to be a cold-blooded, soulless tool of evil. Should he destroy the father who raised him? It was really difficult...

"Why are you so loyal to me? I'm just a fake prince. My father might abandon me one day. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" He asked Gao Qi in return. This subordinate seemed different from others. He was willing to protect him with his life. His loyalty was terrifying.

Gao Qi picked up the bloody gauze and stood up, looking at Ronan with a firm gaze: "It's precisely because I'm afraid he will abandon you that I can't stand the majority bullying the minority. I'm just like you, with no relatives and yet I want to fight against the whole world."

“Crack! One take is awesome! This one should work!”

Following the director's cheer, the audience burst into applause. This scene was a special edition of Xu Qingran's official filming of "Under the Sun". He was very talented. From lighting to positioning, lines and emotions, this scene was completed in only three takes, and there was no pause in between. Ye Yan was like a natural artist. With just one look, she could make Xu Qingran, who had never acted before, fall into the role and be immersed in the story.

It was over, Xu Qingran breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned. If he had said one more sentence, he would have forgotten the lyrics.

The moment the phone was turned off, Xu Qingran disappeared from the play in seconds, but Ye Yan was still sitting there, his eyes not even fluctuating. He was worried about Ronan, and seemed to be helpless and panic about his future. This was the first time he played such a miserable role. He couldn't stand Ronan's life. The first half of his life was pitiful, and the second half was hateful. After finally reuniting with his relatives, he found out that his younger brother was a policeman. Is it necessary for natural strangers to recognize each other? He is only in his 20s. He wants the sun to shine from now on, not the ray of sunlight through the vent in the iron wall.

Everyone went to watch the replay, but Xu Qingran was still standing there looking at Ye Yan, whose eyes were slightly red. He didn't care how well he acted, he just wanted to know if Ye Yan would be sad because she was too immersed in the role.

He took a picture of Ye Yan's beautiful scene, then walked over to him and whispered:

"Boss, what kind of feelings do you think Gao Qi has towards Ronan?"

"Whatever emotion the screenwriter says is what emotion it is, what do you want to say?"

Ye Yan turned his eyes back, suppressing some of the sadness caused by being immersed in the role, and looked at Xu Qingran, waiting for him to spit out ivory from his mouth.

"As for me... I think Gao Qi likes Ronan, like a soulmate. This is love."

Xu Qingran smiled and successfully brought Ye Yan out of the play.

"What nonsense! Where does the yakuza feel emotionally? It's just brotherhood. What's going on in your head all day? I'm warning you, don't play Ronan as a secret crush. If you have that thought, the resulting image will be completely different from the original meaning of the film. Be careful that it won't pass the censorship."

Ye Yan recited a set of official teachings from his predecessors. It seemed serious, but he was actually guilty, because Xu Qingran seemed to be able to accept the feelings between men, and was also very good at associating. This made Ye Yan feel very insecure. He was afraid that he would discover her inexplicable feelings for him, and how socially ruined he would be if he was exposed on the spot. Just thinking about it made him want to quit the circle overnight and return to his hometown to live, unless Xu Qingran also liked him.

"Why? Love is between two people, not between two genders. Besides, this is a work of art. There's no kissing or hugging. So is it okay to look at each other affectionately?"

Xu Qingran couldn't understand how the entertainment industry judged film and television works. This speech frightened Ye Yan, who immediately stood up and covered his mouth:

"You could be louder. If it gets out and someone takes it out of context and says our film doesn't meet standards, I'll be in trouble."

Ye Yan warned seriously, his hand covering Xu Qingran's mouth, the hand wrapped in gauze, but at this moment they were not Ronan and Gao Qi, but Xu Qingran and Ye Yan.

Xu Qingran was stunned because he was kissing Ye Yan's palm.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Ye Yan quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and then pretended to be calm and said:

"You're a good actor, much more talented than cooking."

"what?"

Xu Qingran was surprised, bitterness and embarrassment appeared on his face at the same time.

The two of them were busy filming the special edition scenes all day, which means they talked to each other all day long, so much so that when Ye Yan lay in bed at night, his mind was still lingering with Xu Qingran's figure. Did he really fall in love with him? Ye Yan thought to himself. After tossing and turning in bed for an hour, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, lifted the quilt, and sat up in annoyance.

He went to the floor-to-ceiling window in the room and looked at the night sky in the early morning. The sky was filled with stars, none of which was particularly dazzling, but all of them were shining brightly.

Xu Qingran made him sleepless. He had never been attracted to anyone of the same sex before. He didn't understand the feelings in that circle, and he had never confessed his feelings to a girl, let alone a man. He was very troubled. Should he kill the feelings that he shouldn't have while they were still in their infancy, or should he first try to see if Xu Qingran had any feelings for him? Of the two solutions, he preferred the latter because he was Ye Yan, and so many people liked him. He thought he had the charm to turn straight men gay, unless that guy didn't know how to appreciate it.

At the same time, the lights in the next room were still on. Xu Qingran was lying on the bed sorting out his mobile phone album. In the past two days, he had taken a few more pictures of Ye Yan that looked like fairy-like pictures. He moved them all to the album group called Unknown. After admiring them one by one, he clicked on the title editor. He deleted the word Unknown, and after a moment of silence, he entered a more appropriate new name, Yan.

Because of Zhu Cheng's deliberate actions, she successfully created a scandal with Ye Yan. Due to Ye Yan's extremely high popularity and attention, this matter was successfully pushed to the top of the trending topics on the Internet.

What's even more outrageous is that after this news spread, the agency actually called Ye Yan to verify whether it was true. He had a bad temper and snorted coldly and hung up the phone with the head of the public relations department.

“How is it? What’s going on?”

In the office, colleagues gathered around the man who had just made a call and received a silent response from Ye Yan, asking him, "What's the matter?" The man silently put down his phone, which was only busy, and let out a sigh before calmly giving instructions for the next task.

“Fake, get to work.”

If he didn't get what this ancestor meant, then he wouldn't have to do this job. Ye Yan disdained to answer any false statements, because things that didn't exist were not worth his while. As people in the circle, they knew very well that this matter must have been done intentionally by the other party involved in the scandal. It was not surprising that artists would do anything for popularity and career, and hyping up scandals was even more normal. So Ye Yan didn't want to care about this matter at all. He felt that taking a second look at the follow-up posts from the gossip media was a waste of his eyesight.

The only thing on his mind now was to test whether Xu Qingran could develop a relationship with him beyond friendship.

Ye Yan is a man who dares to love and hate. Although he has not loved or hated much, he knows his own temperament best. Since he has fallen in love, he must give the other party a chance to like him. He is Ye Yan, and he will not take the initiative to pursue this funny man who is only good at talking and has no advantages except his face and figure. He even feels that his love line is really useless. It would be fine if he could just find a man to hold him, but it had to be Xu Qingran.

Tonight they are going to shoot a scene where they escape to a small river in the mountains to wash their wounds. It is also a scene where Ronan and Yan Jin recognize each other as brothers. Yan Jin is an undercover agent arranged by the police to join the Whale Sea Gang. When they were alone together by the river, Yan Jin saw a pattern on Ronan's body. Ronan was abandoned by his parents when he was 8 years old. Yan Jin was already 6 years old at that time, so he remembered that his brother had such a birthmark on his body, and thus learned of Ronan's identity.

This scene can be considered as a benefit for the audience. It would be unreasonable for a handsome guy not to take off his clothes when he encounters water.

Ye Yan has always been very dedicated to his work. He would dare to do anything as long as it was required during filming. Even though he was afraid of heights, he could jump from the second floor into the swimming pool again and again. He could also run more than ten times for a shot in the airtight woods in 37-degree heat. His hands were also scratched by the thatch. Although there was no bleeding, the clear stinging sensation was really more painful than a knife cut. But tonight he seemed to be very nervous. While putting on makeup by the river, he kept licking his lips and looking at the dark river with a complicated look.

Xu Qingran saw his expression. It was rare to see him so uneasy. Xu Qingran couldn't help but walk forward a few steps to carefully observe his reaction.

"OK, both of you get ready to go into the water."

The director shouted with the microphone. The river water in the mountains at night was no longer as clear as it was during the day. It was dark and full of unknowns. Gong Yufei went into the water first, and Ye Yan followed closely behind, obviously hesitant.

He was not afraid of water, he was afraid of the water at night. He always felt that there would be strange things swimming around his feet in the water, such as snakes and some slimy fish. If he really encountered them, he would die on the spot.

"Is it okay, Director?" Ye Yan asked, looking back two meters away from the shore. The director shook his head and waved his hand to signal him to go a little lower.

"You have to be in front of Yufei, otherwise he won't be able to see your birthmark. Let's take a photo of you together first and then a close-up of you."

Ye Yan had no choice but to keep moving forward. The water was very cold, just like his heart.

He hadn't been afraid of water when he jumped into the pool, so why was he so reserved about washing his face in the river? Xu Qingran, watching from the shore, seemed to see that he was reluctant to enter the water and didn't understand why he was acting this way. He wondered if he was even picky about this. Although it was a bit outrageous, it didn't seem impossible if it was Ye Yan.

The shooting of the first shot went smoothly, and they quickly finished the scene where they were in the same frame. He didn't need to take off his clothes, but just unbuttoned two buttons on his chest and poured some water on it, then exposed his shoulders and wiped the blood. His slightly long hair dripped water along the ends of his hair. At this time, Gong Yufei, who was shirtless and showing his six-pack abs, turned around and accidentally saw the mark on the back of his shoulder. He was obviously younger than Gong Yufei, but the look in his eyes that had experienced the ups and downs of life and tasted the bitterness of life that most actors could not perform made it feel natural for him, the older brother, to do it.

"Very good, next we will shoot Ronan's close-up, Yufei can come back to touch up his makeup." The director shouted, and then Gong Yufei went ashore first, leaving Ye Yan and the cameraman to shoot the close-up in the water.

Close-ups other than the face were the simplest during the filming process, and only took two takes. In order to protect the camera, the cameraman quickly carried the camera to the shore after filming. Ye Yan followed behind and also prepared to go ashore to touch up her makeup before going down. The bottom of the water was full of rocks, and he was wearing slippers so he walked a little slowly. As the saying goes, what you fear will come true. He was always nervous whether there was anything in the water. At this moment, suddenly a crab crawled quickly across the instep of his foot, which scared him so much that his pupils were shocked and he screamed subconsciously.

"What is that!" He was suddenly filled with fear and wanted to run back to the shore, but his feet slipped and he fell into the water with a splash. The water was not deep, but the staff and bodyguards were ready to jump into the water to help him. However, before their feet touched the water, a figure flew past them from behind and rushed straight into the water.
