There is a difference between Danju and dramas with same-sex themes. There are emotional lines in the dramas, but they are not as explicit and direct as those with same-sex themes, and they are a little more obscure.

When Gu Yanshen showed the script to Lu Wenxing last year, Lu Wenxing just thought he wanted to invest, and did not expect that Gu Yanshen would directly buy the copyright to make it into a TV series.

Wen Zheng asked Lu Wenxing what kind of drama he was filming, but Lu Wenxing didn't say it was a gay drama, only a costume drama. He guessed that Wen Zheng would definitely object, so he acted first and asked for permission later. However, Lu Wenxing really didn't know that the other protagonist was Gu Yanshen.

Lu Wenxing already felt guilty about filming a gay drama behind Wen Zheng's back. If his brother knew that the other protagonist was Gu Yanshen, then given his brother's attitude towards Gu Yanshen...

Lu Wenxing thought about it and decided that he should pray that his brother would not see the promotional photos so soon.

…

After the promotional photos were released, netizens who had been waiting for the official announcement quickly occupied the comment section.

[WTF! Brother Shen is one of the main actors!!!]

【Ahhhhhh! Woohoo, it’s really Brother Shen. I thought I could only see Director Shen from the behind-the-scenes footage. The surprise came too suddenly.】

[Xingxing looks so handsome this time! I am so mad at him. 】

[In the last still, Brother Shen and Xingxing are hugging each other’s waists and looking into each other’s eyes!! Sorry, I’m hallucinating because of my CP…]

[Someone pinch me, why do I feel like this drama is a danmei drama]

You are not alone

【+1】

[Wen Miao's costume photo is so beautiful, is she a princess? ]

[I originally wanted to be the heroine, but after seeing Brother Shen hugging Xingxing's waist, I thought, "It's all right, it's all right. I wish you a happy marriage."]

[Hahahahaha, the person upstairs is making me laugh to death]

The topic of Gu Yanshen filming a gay drama unsurprisingly became a hot topic. Netizens didn't know whether they should be shocked that Gu Yanshen bought the film and television copyright of a gay drama, or whether they should be surprised that Gu Yanshen actually went into the adult entertainment industry.

During lunch break, employees in the company gathered together to gossip, and the topic was inseparable from today's hot searches.

"Gu Yanshen actually acted in a gay drama. My jaw dropped."

"Brother Shen doesn't like men."

"Every artist in the entertainment industry has had some romantic scandals, but Gu Yanshen doesn't. He's already 28, and he doesn't even have any dating rumors."

"Oh yeah, is it possible that you're not in a relationship because you don't like girls?"

"Playing in a gay drama doesn't mean you're not straight, it's just that gay dramas tend to attract fans."

"Brother Shen still needs to attract fans? I don't think there's any need to go into the adult entertainment industry."

"Don't worry about whether it's necessary or not. Look at the other protagonist, Lu Wenxing!! Take a closer look."

"Are you saying that Brother Shen went to sea for Xingxing?"

"Who knows? Luckily I don't support real-life couples. Only paper figures won't disappoint my aunt."

"Actually the stills are well shot. Xing Xing is so A. Her eyes kill me."

"Yes, yes, yes. Xingxing is an extremely cute little girl in "One Hundred Ghosts", but the feeling I get from "Powerful and Strategist" is that... my little puppy has grown up?"

"By the way, Mr. Wen knows that Xingxing is playing..."

The sound of footsteps interrupted the girl's words. When she turned around, she saw Wen Zheng coming over, and several people immediately shut up.

Wen Zheng didn't stop, but walked straight into his office and logged into Weibo using his computer.

The mouse clicked into the official Weibo of "The Powerful Ones", and the top post contained stills.

Wen Zheng ignored other irrelevant people and directly clicked on the stills with stars.

The first one is a solo photo, which is quite good.

Wen Zheng nodded. Under the ten-level filter, his stars could show excellent acting skills even in the stills.

Then I clicked on the second photo, a photo of two people, also taken with Gu Yanshen.

Wen Zheng frowned slightly. Didn't Gu Yanshen go to be a director? Why did he change into costume and join in the filming?

Then came the next photo. When the photo was enlarged, Wen Zheng’s brows furrowed even more tightly.

Why did Gu Yanshen hug his brother?

This eye contact...there's something wrong no matter how I look at it.

Wen Zheng clicked on the comments and saw the word "danju" all over the screen.

In recent years, the popularity of gay dramas has remained high, and every gay drama has become a hit. Although Wen Zheng doesn't watch it, he knows about it.

After reading the comments, Wen Zheng's face instantly darkened, and without thinking, he immediately called Lu Wenxing.

At this moment, Lu Wenxing was chatting with the crew. When he saw the word "brother" on the caller ID, he felt guilty and held the phone without answering it immediately.

"Xingxing, why don't you answer the phone?"

After Wen Miao reminded him, Lu Wenxing took his phone and walked to a deserted place.

As soon as Gu Yanshen came over, he saw Lu Wenxing walking away, "Where is he going?"

"Answer the phone." Wen Miao took a bite of the apple.

"Get whatever you want to drink."

Gu Yanshen took a cup of milk tea from several bags. He did not approach, but stood some distance away from Lu Wenxing waiting for him to finish the call.

"I knew you couldn't accept it, so I didn't dare tell you." Lu Wenxing explained carefully, "No, I really didn't know the other lead actor was Teacher Gu."

Lu Wenxing saw that explanation was useless and could only... put the blame on others.

"Brother, you don't believe me." Lu Wenxing's tone was full of accusations, as if he had suffered a great injustice. "If I told you, you would definitely not agree to my filming."

Lu Wenxing explained a lot, but his brother was probably angry that Lu Wenxing had hidden things from him, so it was not easy to fool him.

"It's really just filming. Teacher Gu and I have no other relationship."

Gu Yanshen had not originally intended to eavesdrop, but he saw Lu Wenxing walking back and forth under the tree, looking anxious and as if he was in some trouble.

Gu Yanshen moved faster than his brain, and by the time he came to his senses, he was already walking towards Lu Wenxing.

"Yes, I like boys, but I don't..."

Gu Yanshen stopped immediately.

Lu Wenxing's subsequent words seemed to be blown away by the wind. Gu Yanshen didn't hear a word he said. His mind was full of Lu Wenxing's words "I like boys".

Lu Wenxing was still talking to the person on the phone when Gu Yanshen turned around and left. He didn't know why he left. It might be because he felt he had heard a secret that he shouldn't have heard, or it might be some other reason.

Lu Wenxing spent a long time explaining to his brother that he and Gu Yanshen were just friends. Even if they were filming together, they would just be colleagues. In order to convince his brother, Lu Wenxing even told him about his sexual orientation.

I'm going to say it sooner or later anyway, so I'll just say it when the conversation gets going.

——I like boys, but I don’t like Gu Yanshen.

Wen Zheng fell into a brief silence because of this sentence. He didn't know whether he should be happy that Lu Wenxing didn't like Gu Yanshen, or be shocked that Lu Wenxing suddenly came out.

Neither of them spoke. After a while, Wen Zheng spoke.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have questioned you."

He did see that Gu Yanshen was a little angry, and he thought Xingxing had deliberately concealed the fact that she and Gu Yanshen were filming together. But after thinking it over calmly, Xingxing didn't need to hide it from him.

Even though he knew in advance that the other lead actor was Gu Yanshen, as long as Lu Wenxing wanted to go and said a few soft words, Wen Zheng would not be willing to disappoint him. Moreover, even if he was the elder brother, there was no reason for him to ask his younger brother to do or not do something.

Lu Wenxing was stunned for a moment. He thought his brother was a little bit unacceptable, but he didn't expect him to apologize for this. "Brother, you don't have to apologize. I'm glad that you care about me so much."

Wen Zheng held the phone, not knowing how to respond for a moment. He was not good at words and did more than he said. But Xingxing was different. Sometimes he was too straightforward, and Wen Zheng liked his straightforwardness. Communication could make the relationship closer.

"If one day I meet someone I like, I won't hide it from my brother, because I would want his blessing."

Wen Zheng's heart suddenly softened and he no longer had any temper.

"I'll visit the set when I have time."

"good."

After the explanation, Lu Wenxing felt much better.

Back in the rest area, Wen Miao invited Lu Wenxing to drink milk tea. "Brother Shen said this cup is for you."

"Thank you." Lu Wenxing put in a straw and took a sip, "Where's Teacher Gu?"

"He went to the other side, probably to discuss filming with Director Qin."

Lu Wenxing didn't take it seriously. After waiting for a while but seeing that Gu Yanshen didn't come back, he took the script and went to look for him.

Gu Yanshen's assistant got out of the nanny car.

"Is Teacher Gu in the car?"

"Yes." The assistant opened the car door again, "Brother Shen, Xingxing is looking for you."

"Are you free? I want to rehearse with Teacher Gu."

Lu Wenxing raised the script in his hand. The scene in the afternoon was about Feng Xiao and Lu Feixue’s first meeting.

"good."

Gu Yanshen made room for Lu Wenxing to sit.

"Rehearse the lines first?"

Lu Wenxing pointed at the script and said, "Let's start from here."

Lu Feixue (pitiful): Kind-hearted sir, please save me. These robbers robbed me of my money and wanted to sell me to a brothel.

Feng Xiao couldn't stand bullying of the weak, so without any hesitation, he knocked the robber down and rescued Lu Feixue. The robber was no match for Feng Xiao and fled.

Feng Xiao (indifferent): Let go.

Lu Feixue refused to let go and held Feng Xiao's arm, looking very scared.

Feng Xiao (unable to bear it any longer): I’ll say it again, let go.

Lu Wenxing waited for a long time, but Gu Yanshen didn't say the next line. His eyes moved away from the script and fell on Gu Yanshen.

"Why don't you read it?"

Gu Yanshen: "..."

Gu Yanshen had memorized these lines long ago. When he first saw the script, he thought that filming a gay drama was no different from filming other dramas. All the actors had to do was to present their characters better in front of the camera.

But now…

Gu Yanshen lowered his head to look at the next line.

Lu Feixue (looking up): I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so I can only repay you with my body. From today on, I belong to you, sir.

Gu Yanshen: "..."

The author has something to say: Facing Lu Xingxing's sudden coming out, Gu Shenshen was unprepared: "!"
