My Husband is Suffering from a Terminal Illness

Xie Yang struggled in the post-apocalyptic world for many years until he was too tired to go on. Then he transmigrated into a young adult entertainment circle novel where the protagonists have easy...

Chapter 90

The supernatural power floated to Wen Yao and slowly drilled into Wen Yao's brain. The feeling of swallowing a foreign object came over her - there really was a golden finger left in Wen Yao's brain.

Wen Yao suddenly frowned, lowered her head and raised her hand to press her eyebrows.

Director Zhou noticed Wen Yao's movements and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Yao quickly relaxed her brows, covered her mouth and yawned slightly, then replied a little embarrassedly and awkwardly: "It's nothing, I just had a sudden tinnitus."

Director Zhou advised: "Everyone, please be more careful and don't have any health problems before filming begins."

Wen Yao and Gao Xuanhang nodded in unison.

Wen Yao's test of Jie Yang was interrupted. Afterwards, Xie Yang went to greet the assistant director and screenwriter in turn, and also got to know the second female lead Wen Han and the third male lead Man Feidi who were sitting next to the screenwriter.

Wen Han is about 30 years old and has a beautiful appearance. In the plot, she plays the role of a singer who has a bad background and experience, but lives soberly and dies tragically. Her personality is different from her beautiful appearance, she is very quiet and speaks in a gentle manner, giving people a very good impression.

Man Feidi is younger, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He is a young actor who became famous last year for starring in a youth-themed movie. He has a cute and handsome appearance. In the play, he plays the cousin and childhood friend of the young master Su Jingmo, and the biological brother of the heroine Liu Xue, played by Wen Yao - Liu Le. There will be a lot of rival scenes between He Jieyang.

Man Feidi was very familiar with the guests. He took the initiative to greet Jie Yang and even joked, "Since you are here, I am no longer the youngest in the crew. Don't panic, cousin. I will protect you!"

The screenwriter laughed and said, "Don't be ridiculous. Judging from your appearance, you are still the youngest in the crew. Don't try to act like the big brother."

"Oh, Sister Yue found out. People with baby faces are really unpopular. Not only are their casting choices limited, but they are also easy to suffer in life. It's so hard for me." Man Feidi deliberately sighed and made the screenwriter Chen Yue laugh. Wen Han also pursed his lips and smiled.

The group was having so much fun that they ignored Jie Yang who came to say hello. Xie Yang's eyes swept over Man Feidi, who had a funny expression on his face, and he tactfully said goodbye and left to rehearse with Gao Xuanhang and Wen Yao.

What Director Zhou meant by rehearsing lines is not to let the actors read the lines according to the script, but to let the actors integrate themselves into the role, adjust the plot and lines according to the changes in the surrounding environment while walking in the shooting location, and communicate with each other as characters in the play. This is a method that can help actors become familiar with the script and understand their co-stars as quickly as possible.

In the scene of Su's house, there are many scenes where Jie Yang, Gao Xuanhang and Wen Yao are together. After saying goodbye to Director Zhou, the three of them walked into the depths of the house together.

As soon as she was out of sight of the main group, Wen Yao looked at Jie Yang and asked in a tone of a young girl in love: "Cousin, now that you are back this time, will you not leave?"

This is what cousin Liu Xue asked Su Jingmo when she was a guest at the young master's house not long after he returned to the house.

Xie Yang quickly got into the mood and replied: "Whether I leave or not depends on whether God will help me. But I think God is so kind that he should help me."

Every line is perfect.

The girlish look on Wen Yao's face disappeared, and she smiled and said, "Boss Jie did a good job in taking on the role, worthy of being a graduate of a professional school."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior."

Gao Xuanhang glanced between the two of them and felt something was wrong, but he tactfully kept silent.

The garden was very big, and the three of them were walking around and reciting lines casually. Wen Yao took the initiative to bring up the plot related to Su Jingmo several times and asked Jie Yang to take over, and Jie Yang took them all over steadily. Regardless of how he acted, at least his lines were not wrong at all.

After walking around, Gao Xuanhang became much more friendly to Jie Yang and praised him, "You've memorized the lines, not bad."

Xie Yang smiled and said, "This is my first time acting. I have no experience, but I have to show my attitude."

Wen Yao glanced at Jie Yang after hearing this.

At noon, everyone had lunch together. Man Feidi sat next to Jie Yang and asked, "Shall we rehearse our lines together this afternoon? I have a bad memory and always forget the rest of the lines after reciting the first part. Brother Gao said that you have memorized all your lines. I really envy you."

Xie Yang responded with a few polite words, but his attitude was not very warm.

Man Feidi seemed not to notice Jie Yang's politeness. Seeing Jie Yang's politeness, he became more excited and talked non-stop. He even took the initiative to pour water and pass tableware to Jie Yang, looking very friendly and enthusiastic.

Over the next few days, Xie Yang gradually became familiar with the people in the crew. Wen Yao no longer always tests Jie Yang, but she still treats him indifferently. Gao Xuanhang's attitude towards Jie Yang gradually became friendlier. He would take the initiative to look for Jie Yang to rehearse lines from time to time and teach Jie Yang some tips on acting and positioning, while Man Feidi started to stick to Jie Yang all the time.

Man Feidi’s clinging style isn’t too annoying, he’s cute like a spoiled little brother. Specifically, he would sit together with Jie Yang when eating, would considerately buy Jie Yang's favorite water, would often discuss the script with Jie Yang, and would share with Jie Yang any delicious food sent from home or fun things he bought.

Judging from his outward behavior, Man Feidi should be the friendliest and most enthusiastic person towards Jie Yang in the entire crew. There are more and more jokes in the crew about how Jie Yang and Man Feidi have a good relationship and that young people are indeed more likely to get along with each other.

Xie Yang saw all of this, but his attitude towards Man Feidi was still polite but not enthusiastic enough.

More than a week passed in a blink of an eye, and everyone's emotions gradually settled down and they moved closer to the characters in the script.

In early April, the crew of "I See Xuanyuan" officially started operating. All the major supporting roles were in place, and the stylists joined the crew to take makeup photos for everyone. After taking the final makeup photos, Zhou Huairen picked a good day to hold the opening ceremony of "My Xuanyuan".

When Xie Yang walked to the front of the stage following the host's introduction, all the media invited to film and report the opening ceremony were stunned, and then they all started to make a commotion.

There is actually a Jie Yang! Jie Yang actually appears in Zhou Huairen’s new movie! This highly talked-about young singer and young boss actually came to act! Zhou Huairen was really good at keeping secrets. There was no news at all about Jie Yang's explosive acting before!

The media were excited and all turned their cameras to Jie Yang. The flash lights were so continuous that even the male and female leading actors were vaguely ignored.

Man Feidi, who was standing next to Xie Yang, suddenly tilted his head and came close to Xie Yang, winking and saying, "You are very popular."

Xie Yang smiled and replied, "Senior is not bad either."

Man Feidi bumped Jie Yang's shoulder in mock dissatisfaction and said, "Why are you still calling me senior? I told you to either call me by my name or call me brother."

Xie Yang noticed that after Man Feidi came closer, the media's flash lights flashed even louder. He glanced at Man Feidi, smiled and didn't say anything.

During the interview session after the ceremony, most media focused their attention on Li Yang. Xie Yang remembered the rules for newcomers that Qin Cheng had told him in advance. He skipped over all topics that were not related to the movie, never stole the limelight from the male and female protagonists, didn't talk too much, didn't give long speeches, and dealt with everything with a smile.

The reporters were so annoyed by Xie Yang's flawless performance that they could only look for highlights from other actors.

A reporter suddenly asked: "Wen Yao, as a senior who just won an award, what do you think of Jie Yang's acting skills?"

Everyone looked at Wen Yao.

Wen Yao paused and smiled, "It's up to the director and the public to judge his acting skills. In my eyes, Jie Yang is a very dedicated and hardworking newcomer."

It's a standard answer, without any explosive points.

The reporters were very disappointed and went to investigate Gao Xuanhang and Wen Han one by one, but these two people were also smart and did not allow the media to dig out anything. In the end, the reporters only found out from Man Feidi that Xie Yang had a big appetite and was not picky about food.

When the interview was over and they were about to leave, Man Feidi suddenly raised his hand and hooked it around Jie Yang's neck, and said with a smile: "Jie Yang, let's go over the lines together later. We'll start shooting this afternoon, and I'm a little nervous."

Xie Yang paused, looked into Man Feidi's coquettish and pleading eyes, and said, "Okay."

Man Feidi smiled and said, "Good brother, you are so loyal."

After the opening ceremony, the crew cleared out Su's residence and officially started today's filming. The first scene is the rivalry between the male and female protagonists. Xie Yang sits in his own rest area, taking the phone from Wu Shui while listening to Qin Cheng's report.

"The media that came to interview have posted the photos taken at the opening ceremony on the Internet one after another. Most of the media focused on your performance. Your fans have responded well to your acting, and..."

Qin Cheng glanced at where Man Feidi was and lowered his voice a little: "You and Man Feidi were talking together on the stage with your heads tilted, and the photo of Man Feidi raising his arm to hook your neck after the interview was picked up by the marketing account, and a topic about little milk dog and little wolf dog was created. Now there are fans of Man Feidi coming to visit you on Weibo, saying they want to keep in touch."

Xie Yang paused and continued to tap WeChat, asking, "Am I...being used to gain popularity?"

Qin Cheng nodded, somewhat helplessly: "This kind of thing is unavoidable. You and Man Feidi are working in the same crew now, and there is no conflict between you. It's not a good reaction for us to be gently used by the other party to gain popularity like this."

"Then don't worry about it. Just try to reduce my exposure." Xie Yang opened WeChat, and then seven or eight WeChat messages from Qiu Xing came in a row.

Qiu Xing: Will the filming officially start today?

Qiu Xing: I saw the news.

Qiu Xing: Who gave you that 2:8 split hair? What a lousy technique!

Qiu Xing: Who is that next to you?

Qiu Xing: Little wolf-dog? laugh.

Qiu Xing: What is a little puppy?

Qiu Xing: Are your fans crazy? You post on every topic and respond to every person. You should take good care of your fans!

Xie Yang laughed out loud. He types.

Xie Yang: Master Liao, are your hands shaking today?

Qiu Xing replied immediately: What?

Xie Yang: I didn’t add salt when cooking, I just added vinegar.

After a while, Qiu Xing sent a message full of sourness and anger.

Qiu Xing: I have to go to a meeting, you are not allowed to keep a dog!

Xie Yang typed slowly: I don’t raise any, I just raise fish with you.

There was silence for a while again. Then Qiu Xing sent a cartoon emoticon of a big hand stroking a baby sheep's head, which he got from somewhere. Followed by a sentence.

Qiu Xing: You’re smart.
