After lunch, An Qingyan saw a message from the director in the WeChat group, saying that the investors had increased their investment by another 30 million yuan to improve the crew's meals.
That's so damn thoughtful!!
Wu Weiguang almost knelt down and called Gu Fei "Dad".
How could there be such a thoughtful sponsor who worried that they weren't eating well and specially gave them extra money to improve their meals? Little did they know that the sponsor was only doing this for one person.
An Qingyan knew what was going on as soon as he saw the news. He had only complained about the food on set. As expected of Master Gu, he spent tens of millions in one go.
"Actually, the food on set is pretty good. It's four dishes and a soup, with a good mix of meat and vegetables, and it's nutritionally balanced. You don't need to do this, Fei-ge."
Hearing the gentle voice, those nearby turned to look and saw An Qingyan sending a voice message to Gu Fei on her phone, her shy yet delighted smile impossible to hide.
Young Master Lu, who had been forced to eat another mouthful of dog food, secretly ground his back teeth and cursed inwardly.
I don't want to eat dog food!
Gu Fei replied to the message, then opened Weibo and skillfully clicked on the trending topics. The top trending topic was the official character photos released by "The Legend of Kyushu".
He clicked on the image and stared back and forth at the picture of the young man in a moon-colored brocade robe, gazing at his aloof and handsome face for a moment before clicking save. (Remember https://m.)
The white veil covering her eyes...
The man's sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down, his eyes deep. "Next time I might try it; maybe a tie would work too."
Would other senses become more sensitive if one lost sight?
Gu Fei pondered for a moment, then clicked on the comments under the Weibo post. An Qingyan's popularity was rising every day, and there was a chorus of screams below, with people calling him "wife" or "husband."
Being too popular with his girlfriend wasn't necessarily a good thing. The man frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his expression. He tapped a few lines on the keyboard with his long, slender fingers and sent a comment:
【Yan Yan, mine.】
Of course, it was quickly submerged.
The Weibo account he used was only recently registered, and it was empty. The only person he was following was An Qingyan.
After the official character photos were released, they generated a lot of discussion. The production team seized the opportunity and released a behind-the-scenes video that was only a few seconds long.
The staff were busy at work. An Qingyan and Lu Yuqi, dressed in their costumes, sat side by side on small stools, intently reading the script. They would occasionally lean over to discuss something, chatting and laughing.
[The production team is so clever! They knew exactly what we wanted to see.]
【Ahhh, they're such a perfect match! They're such a perfect match!!】
【This is the Civil Affairs Bureau; I came here by myself.】
...
When Gu Fei saw this, he frowned again.
Ha, how are they a good match?
An Jing, on the other side, also happened to see this Weibo post. She stared at the video several times and thought about how harmonious the two children were getting along, just like... well, like best friends.
He laughed at his own idea.
What the hell is that?!
He's a brother, a good brother!
He clicked on the Weibo post with the official photos, marveling at how handsome his younger brother was. He then swiped left, and Lu Yuqi's photo appeared on the screen. "I didn't expect this kid to actually pass the audition."
He couldn't help but scrutinize Lu Yuqi's appearance. It was a completely different style from Yan Yan's. His black outfit was clean and sharp, his features were heroic and deep, his eyes were fierce and arrogant, yet he also had a touch of youthful naiveté.
An Jing's gaze finally settled on the other person's waist, which was cinched by a belt, and she exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "This kid's waist looks pretty slender..."
He then clicked to share, adding the text: "Our Yan Yan's first drama, I'm so looking forward to it, everyone please..."
He paused mid-text, thought for a moment, then deleted what he had just written and started editing again: Our Yan Yan and Yu Qi's first drama...
Wait, no, that sentence is ambiguous.
When did Lu Yuqi become his family's?
An Jing removed the words "our family" and the final text became: Yan Yan and Yu Qi's first drama, we are really looking forward to it, please give it your support!
He's Lu Yuqi's mentor at Tomorrow's Stars, so he should take this kid under his wing, right? No problem, right?
The number of reposts, likes, and comments below increased rapidly, reaching over 10,000 in less than a minute. Fans didn't think of anything else to do, since really not many people ship An Jing and Lu Yuqi as this unorthodox couple.
[Support! Support! We'll sell our possessions to support this!!]
As his sister-in-law, of course I have to support my younger brother and his friends! [shy]
[Could the mystery guest mentioned in the official Weibo post be you, bro?!]
...
An Qingyan noticed that Lu Yuqi had been staring at his phone for a long time with a strange expression, a half-smile on his face. "Yuqi, what are you looking at?" An Qingyan asked. Just as he leaned closer, Lu Yuqi locked his phone and said expressionlessly, "Nothing."
An Qingyan: "I feel like you're acting a little strange."
"Yan Yan, Yu Qi, get ready to start work," the stage manager announced.
"Let's go." Lu Yuqi immediately got up and walked outside. He then opened his phone and glanced at the text on it. The screen displayed the Weibo post that An Jing had just forwarded.
Although I only brought him along incidentally.
But it feels...not bad?
He secretly curled his lips into a smile.
An Qingyan stood there for a moment, somewhat puzzled, thinking that Lu Yuqi really did have someone he liked, but who was that person...?
Young Master Lu refused to say.
He strode after him. Lu Yuqi had already handed his phone to his assistant. Suddenly remembering something, he said to Lu Yuqi, "My older brother told me yesterday that he's joining the crew next week."
He secretly observed the other person's expression.
Young Master Lu maintained his usual style, simply giving a nonchalant "oh".
"It's really unpredictable," An Qingyan sighed inwardly.
Filming continued, and Wu Weiguang was very demanding. Even though some parts were already done well, he was still not satisfied, so there were often NGs.
Therefore, the actors didn't have much time to rest, especially An Qingyan, who was the male lead and had the most scenes. Although he was very tired, he didn't complain. He thought the director's strictness was a good thing, as it helped him improve.
He acted in a few dramas in his past life, but they were all low-quality idol dramas produced on an assembly line. The directors didn't care whether you were a good actor or not; you just needed to be a pretty face who could talk. They only cared about your fans, your popularity, and how much commercial value you could bring.
He doesn't like it this way.
——
After a busy morning, during the lunch break, while most people were lazily sitting and playing on their phones or sleeping, Wu Weiguang was still diligently revising the script.
Suddenly, a staff member rushed up to Wu Weiguang, panting, and exclaimed in surprise, "Director Wu, the producer... the producer has come to visit the set!!"
"What producer? Don't be so surprised... What?! A producer! Master Gu?!"
"Yes, yes, it's Master Gu!"
"Take me there quickly." Wu Weiguang immediately put down his script and hurriedly followed the staff. Anyone unaware of the situation would have thought that Director Wu was rushing to put out a fire.
For Wu Weiguang, Master Gu was like a god of wealth.
With a wave of his hand, he can spend tens of millions; isn't that the God of Wealth?
How come the busy and domineering CEO has so much free time? This is the second time that Master Gu has come to visit the set. He must really value their production team. Director Wu was touched and secretly made up his mind that he must make this show a success and not let Master Gu's investment go to waste!
I had no idea I was overthinking things.
"Mr. Gu, why didn't you tell me you were coming to visit the set? Please come in, please come in."
Gu Fei followed the staff member inside, calmly surveying the surroundings. "It's alright, you go ahead with your work, I just happened to be passing by."
Wu Weiguang: "No rush, no rush. It's lunch break now. How about I show you around?"
Gu Fei: "Mm."
When the staff members who were idly chatting and playing on their phones, who had been dozing off, immediately woke up when they saw Director Wu walk in with a tall, handsome man in a suit!
Holy crap, who is this handsome guy?!
Which celebrity is this? I've never seen them before.
Those eyes, that nose, that mouth—absolutely stunning!
"You guys don't know this, do you? This is our sugar daddy, Gu Fei, the president of the Gu Group, known as Master Gu."
"Wow, so he's the mysterious CEO of the Gu Group, the legendary 'God of Wealth' who's incredibly generous!"
"How can someone be so good-looking! That face, those legs, that figure, that aura—she's totally my type! I'm sorry, Yan Yan, I'm going to have to temporarily transfer my affections to someone else!"
"Don't even think about it. Haven't you guys seen the gossip news? Rumor has it that this Mr. Gu is sexually frigid and not interested in either men or women."
"No way, no way..."
While secretly watching the man talking to Director Wu not far away, the group whispered among themselves.
Gu Fei responded casually to Wu Weiguang's words, his gaze sweeping across every corner of the set. Not finding the person he wanted to see, he suddenly asked, "Where's the male lead?"
"You mean Yan Yan? He should be in the dressing room right now. Please wait a moment while I go and call him over?"
"No need, just take me there."
"Okay, please come with me."
Wu Weiguang led the way, feeling something was off. Last time he had dinner with Master Gu, Master Gu ignored Duan Ci's advances but seemed to have feelings for An Qingyan, even going to her room to change clothes...
Could it be...?
Wu Weiguang's pupils dilated slightly. Could it be that Master Gu had some ulterior motives towards his little treasure? Such things are too normal in the industry, but that was his little treasure!
Gu Fei suddenly noticed that Director Wu's gaze was a little strange, as if he were heartbroken.
"Mr. Gu, we've arrived."
Wu Weiguang pushed open the door to the dressing room with great difficulty. It was very quiet inside. The boy was lying on the dressing table, half of his face buried in his arms, his eyes closed, and his breathing even.
