"How many kissing scenes do you have?" Wen Yuan asked.
"I read the script, and after the two protagonists have a mutual understanding, they kiss in almost every scene."
Wen Yuan twisted his lips as if seeing through everything: "Shi Yubai is very young."
"Yeah, he's six years younger than me. I feel strangely guilty about kissing him."
This was Ji Xingyao's inner distress. Thinking about when she was a freshman in college and Shi Yubai was still a junior high school student, it was so embarrassing.
Wen Yuan understood her feelings very well: "There's no need to feel burdened. Shi Yubai has filmed so many short dramas and kissed countless actresses. You are just one of his partners."
That being said, Shi Yubai's eyes were too fiery, and Ji Xingyao sometimes couldn't tell whether he was acting or... mixed with true feelings.
Seeing that Ji Xingyao was really shy, Wen Yuan stopped teasing her.
After a moment of silence, Ji Xingyao said, "By the way, Ayuan, Ji Minghe was beaten and is staying in the Linshi Hospital."
"How do you know?" Wen Yuan asked curiously. Ji Xingyao and Ji Minghe had no contact before, and they had never talked about Ji Minghe before.
"He's supporting Qin Miao, and he came to our crew to show off, saying he wants to ban our show."
Wen Yuan frowned: "When did it happen?"
"Just a few days ago, Director Yang invited him to dinner to try to smooth things over. We got into an argument during the meal and ended up leaving on bad terms. Who would have thought that as soon as he walked out of the box, he'd be beaten up."
Ji Xingyao and Director Yang also discussed it privately and tried to guess who did it, but they had no clue.
The crew never stays in a fixed place. They rent a venue for one or two months, and after filming is finished, the entire crew moves to the next city.
They had just arrived in Linshi and were unfamiliar with the place. It was impossible for them to beat someone up like that just because of a quarrel.
However, the timing of this incident was indeed coincidental. They had just finished arguing when they were beaten, as if the beating was done specifically to vent their anger.
Wen Yuan had originally felt some sympathy for Ji Minghe, but upon hearing what Ji Xingyao said, his expression immediately turned cold: "He wants to ban my drama, but he has to ask me if I agree first."
"So domineering!" Ji Xingyao stuck out her tongue and gave Wen Yuan a thumbs-up: "You are worthy of being my strongest supporter."
The bond between them has long surpassed friendship and is even closer than that between family members.
All resources, connections and money are shared with each other without distinction.
Even couples who have obtained a marriage certificate cannot guarantee that they can do what they do.
"Should I get you a bodyguard too?"
"No, no... A Yuan, even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this. How much do I get paid for filming a drama? How many dramas would I have to film to earn the money you've spent?"
Especially the nanny car, which costs more than one million yuan, many third-tier stars in the entertainment industry cannot afford it.
"Okay, be careful in your daily life and don't go to remote places alone. If you don't have a role, go back to the hotel early."
The crew rented a location in a relatively remote film and television city. If you walk a little further, you can see people everywhere, which does pose a safety hazard.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ji Xingyao patted his chest and promised.
"Okay, I'm going to the company now. Let's talk next time."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Xingyao touched her hot cheeks, threw away the script, and buried herself in the quilt.
Ji Xingyao hid in her room the whole afternoon and did not go out, for fear of meeting Shi Yubai.
In fact, this behavior makes her look very unprofessional. As a qualified actor, it is very normal for her to develop feelings with the male lead and shoot kissing scenes in the script.
Perhaps her previous heartbreaking marriage made her close off emotionally. In the five years since she came back, many men have expressed their affection for her, but she has not accepted any of them.
Feelings have never been within her range of choice.
After being scolded by Wen Yuan for being "lovesick" for several years, she never dared to make the same mistake again.
Time soon turned to night, and Ji Xingyao was so engrossed in reading the script that she didn't even notice that it was getting dark.
"Dong dong dong."
Someone is knocking on the door outside.
Ji Xingyao opened the door and found Shi Yubai standing outside.
"Shi Yubai?" Ji Xingyao was a little surprised. She tried her best to maintain her calmness and pretend to be the same as usual.
The decency of adults is to cooperate with each other tacitly and deliberately forget certain special events.
Shi Yubai had a faint smile on his face. Although his expression was normal, he was actually a little nervous inside.
He handed Ji Xingyao a blue bag: "This is a gift package from fans who visited the set." As if afraid that Ji Xingyao would refuse, Shi Yubai added: "Director Yang and the screenwriter also have it."
"Wow, thank you. Your fans are so caring."
Ji Xingyao opened the blue bag and found milk tea, an eye mask, snacks, and various peripherals of Shi Yubai: fans, sticky notes, stickers, etc.
Ji Xingyao took them out one by one and looked at them. When she saw that Shi Yubai had two big red blushes photoshopped on the fan by fans, she couldn't help laughing.
"This photo is so cute. Your fans are so nice to you."
This is probably the difference between bloggers and actors. Ji Xingyao has so many online fans, but no one would prepare peripheral gifts for her so attentively.
"You will have it in the future too. I'm your fan. When you're filming a drama, I'll visit the set and prepare gifts for you."
Shi Yubai was thinking of renting a support car to provide free coffee, milk tea, small cakes to the crew, and distribute various peripherals of Ji Xingyao for free.
"So, I finally have a fan for this drama?" Ji Xingyao said happily.
"Well, I'm the first one." Shi Yubai's eyes were sincere and warm.
"..."
Ji Xingyao couldn't stand it anymore and could only lower his head and pretend to look at the eye patch.
At this time, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and Doudou came back with takeaway.
Their crew provides meals for their employees, but they are mainly boxed lunches, which are unhealthy and unnutritious.
Wen Yuan had already instructed Doudou to order food from outside as much as possible and not to let Ji Xingyao eat boxed lunches.
"Oh, Teacher Shi is here too. I bought a lot today. Do you want to eat together?"
Doudou is quite familiar with everyone in the crew. Sometimes when Shi Yubai and Ji Xingyao are acting alone, she would wait by their side, helping to pass them water or run errands.
"No, the fans are still waiting downstairs. I'll go meet them." Shi Yubai refused.
The first thing he thought of when he received the gift was to give it to Ji Xingyao. After giving the gift away, he wanted to spend the rest of his time with his fans.
After Shi Yubai left, Doudou said enviously, "Teacher Shi Yubai has so many fans. You have no idea how honored it is to have fans visiting our crew. The other actors are drooling with envy."
"His acting skills are worthy of so many people's love." Ji Xingyao took the takeaway from Doudou's hand and opened the package.
"Star's summary is spot on. I'm also a big fan of Mr. Shi's acting."
Doudou was so envious the night before that his eyes nearly popped out when he saw the food truck with a huge Star name on it parked in front of the crew the next day.
