Because "Operation Red Owl" might have some temporary publicity work to coordinate, Director Mu did not arrange any scenes for Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao on April 15th.
When the assistant found out that Chu Yinlong had just finished a video conference with Longqi Entertainment and was currently taking a break, Jing Yu, escorted by his agent, went to Chu Yinlong's room to apologize to him.
As soon as the doorbell was pressed, the door was opened. Jiang Dao leaned against the door frame with his arms folded and smiled, "I didn't expect you to care about us so much?"
Jingyu was speechless.
Seeing that his agent was following him, Jiang Dao didn't joke any more and turned around to let the person into the house.
Chu Yinlong just finished his phone call and came out of the suite. He smiled at Jingyu and said, "Sit down. Don't be nervous. I saw the trending search. It's not a big deal."
The agent took Jingyu to sincerely apologize to Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao. The agent was relieved to learn that neither of them cared about it and did not ask the public relations department to remove the hot search.
Chu Yinlong said, "Xiao Jing also starred in "Operation Red Owl". The crew's publicity department just discussed with me that the leading actors will release a Vlog on Weibo tonight for joint promotion. If any netizens mention the CP under his Weibo, you can simply reply and treat it as a joke. We will cooperate then, so don't worry too much."
To put it bluntly, if the CP of the two really becomes popular, the voices questioning Jiang Dao's clinging to others and accusing him of using unspoken rules will gradually decrease. In addition, with the broadcast of "Operation Red Owl" in the future, Jiang Dao's strength will also be recognized by the rational public. It is not a bad thing for the CP to be popular.
Anyway, this CP is real.
If Chu Yinlong had not been worried about taking too big a step and causing a backlash from public opinion, and if he had not been afraid that Jiang Dao would be subjected to online violence again, he would have even wanted to quickly announce his relationship with Jiang Dao to the public, so that they wouldn't have to be so cautious and secretive in everything they did.
When Jingyu was taken away by his agent, Jiangdao flipped through the trending search #Jingyu is a fan of Chuyinlong and Jiangdao CP# and couldn't stop laughing.
"He actually confronted the fans of the CP with Bingdao. Wow, so powerful." Jiangdao was amazed. "I remember when I first met him, he was still a good kid who didn't pay much attention to online public opinion. Is it so easy to get addicted to CP?"
Chu Yinlong said, "He was just too careless and revealed his handwriting. I know that many girls like to ship actors and actresses, but they mainly ship paper people. Some of them even use smurf accounts to quarrel with others, and some even quarrel late at night and don't sleep, affecting the filming the next day."
"It's quite interesting too." Jiang Dao smiled and flipped through the Dragon Island chat again. "I feel quite accomplished to be able to bring happiness to so many people."
Chu Yinlong looked at him and asked, "Do you not hate the entertainment industry that much anymore?"
Jiang Dao raised his face and replied with a smile: "Well, it's not that annoying anymore. The main thing is... you are here, I like you, so I don't find this place annoying anymore."
Chu Yinlong looked into Jiang Dao's eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Dao continued: "I wanted to leave at first because I was tired of fighting. But now, with you here, let alone fighting, you wouldn't even ask me to go to the battlefield... Ugh!"
A passionate and affectionate kiss lingered on Jiangdao's lips for a long time.
Until Chu Yinlong held down Jiang Dao's hand, he smiled helplessly: "Don't make trouble, it's daytime... and I just contacted the makeup team, and they will have someone coming to help with makeup and hair, and shoot the promotional Vlog... Just bear with it, dear."
Jiang Dao honestly withdrew his hand and pretended to be dissatisfied: "It was not until you kissed me first that I thought of it."
Chu Yinlong had no principles: "Well, it's my fault."
About ten minutes later, the makeup artist arrived and gave Jiang Dao and Chu Yinlong a simple daily look.
The publicity department also sent a text very quickly, and the two of them read from the script and recorded a video each, which they handed over to their assistant to edit into a Vlog.
After all the filming related work was completed, Chu Yinlong began to answer calls frequently.
After lunch, Chu Yinlong was busy with the video conference on the post-production of "Operation Red Owl" - as the chief producer, he couldn't really ignore everything. He usually had a heavy workload, and it was a rare day off, so he finally had time to meet with the post-production staff.
Jiang Dao sat quietly in the armchair of the suite, looking at Chu Yinlong who was busy working behind the desk. Suddenly he understood why people always say that "serious men are the most handsome."
Even though this is neither a film set nor a sports field, Chu Yinlong restrained his dramatic tension and physical charm, but he was still dazzling enough to make people unable to take their eyes off him.
It wasn't until the sky outside the window darkened that Chu Yinlong finally ended the video conference and hung up the computer. He rubbed his neck tiredly and looked at Jiang Dao: "Sorry, is it boring?"
Jiang Dao stood up and walked behind Chu Yinlong, pinched his shoulders, and smiled: "No. You look especially good when you are working."
As he spoke, he hugged Chu Yinlong from behind, bent down and kissed the man's cheek, and his hands began to move in a naughty manner again.
"Stirring up trouble again, huh?" Chu Yinlong raised his eyebrows. "Are you not going to have dinner?"
Jiang Dao chuckled: "I didn't shoot today, so I didn't get enough exercise. I haven't digested my lunch yet! I need to get some exercise first, otherwise I won't be able to enjoy my meal."
Chu Yinlong sighed, grabbed Jiang Dao's hand, dragged him over and pressed him against the desk, and whispered in Jiang Dao's ear, "...you don't know what's good for you."
…
At 8 o'clock that evening, all the important role players of "Red Owl" released a promotional Vlog at the same time and @ed the official account of "Red Owl" to warm up for the launch of the movie.
As expected, under the videos of Chu Yinlong, Jiang Dao and Jing Yu, a bunch of netizens who were eager to watch the fun were asking about Jing Yu’s CP.
Jingyu picked out a comment that seemed to have a playful tone and replied with a string of crying emojis.
At the same time, Jiang Dao also interacted with his Weibo fans for the first time after his time travel:
"Xiaodao and Xiaojingyu have a good relationship, right? How dare he ship you and Actor Chu as a couple, hahahahaha!"
"The blogger replied: I have already punished him by asking him to buy me milk tea for a week [witty]"
Chu Yinlong also picked a fan who asked about the CP and replied as follows: "I have punished him by not allowing him to drink milk tea for a week."
Netizens: …
Ah this?
Should we say that you two are angry and don’t acknowledge this CP? Or should we say that you two are a worthy couple since you even turned the punishments into a series of punishments?
Jingyu, Jiangdao and Chu Yinlong’s replies to fans were immediately screenshotted and posted to Dragon Island, and CP fans were delighted.
"How miserable is Jingyu? All I can do for a week is look at Xiaodao and drink milk tea, and I have to pay for it myself, hahahahaha!"
"Reply: It's so pitiful that I want to be his fan, he's so cute [covering face]"
"Reply: How is that "Longdao Lifetime Push" account? Will it be cancelled by his agent? Although it sounds miserable, I'm sorry but I really can't stop laughing hahahaha, I'm probably a fake fan of Xiaojingyu hahahaha!"
“That ‘Lifelong Supporter of Dragon Island’ even asked me for the original photo without the watermark of the photoshopped photo of Dragon Dad’s wedding on the island! Ahhhhh I’m going crazy laughing! What kind of luck am I, hahahaha!”
"Reply: Sister, I have a friend who wants to see your private messages [doge]"
"Reply: I envy my sister for actually receiving a private message from Little Whale [Lemon]"
"Although you deleted your comment, I know you've seen my lucky draw [heart] The original picture of that little card, I sent you a private message on both of my accounts, remember to take a look [heart][heart] @龙岛一生推@景寓"
“Reply: Hahaha, ma’am, why are you like this? [laughing]”
"Reply: Little Whale's only comfort during the week when he couldn't drink milk tea [doge]"
When the news of CP and "serial punishment" spread to Chu Yinlong's fan group, everyone was immediately confused.
"Sisters, there's something strange..."
“I think it’s weird, too.”
"When there were rumors about him before, Long Dad always personally responded to them. But this time, he wasn't angry when someone so blatantly shipped them as a couple?"
"Either the three of them were really close during the filming and they joked about it before so they didn't take it seriously... or, I guess Long Dad is really indulging Jiang Dao."
"In fact, Long Daddy indulges Jiang Dao. There were actually clues when Jiang Dao got into trouble a few times before..."
"I don't know why, I feel a little uncomfortable [crying]"
"Sisters, stay calm. Think about Long Ge's character. If he really indulges Jiang Dao, it's definitely not an unspoken rule or a joke. He's almost 30 and has never been in a relationship. If Jiang Dao is really in love, we should bless him!"
"Wuwuwu, hold me [crying loudly] [crying loudly]"
Hotel bathroom.
Jiang Dao leaned in Chu Yinlong's arms, letting him help him rinse the foam off his hair.
"So, you did it on purpose this time?" Jiang Dao wiped the water droplets from his face and looked up at Chu Yinlong.
Chu Yinlong kissed Jiang Dao on the cheek and replied, "The subject matter of Dawn City is rather taboo. When we start promoting it, the outside world will speculate even more about our relationship. I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it all of a sudden, so I'm just giving them a heads-up. If they really can't accept it, it would be good for both sides if they stop being fans sooner rather than later."
Jiang Dao laughed and said, "You treat your fans like this, aren't you afraid that they will turn against you?"
After a moment of silence, Chu Yinlong said, "I am going to walk my own path. I am very grateful and touched to have their company and encouragement. But I will not let them kidnap me and take me on a path I don't want to take just for these gratitude and touches."
…
The one-day holiday was so short that Jiang Dao hadn’t even had time to rest before the tight shooting rhythm began again. On the first day back on the set, Director Mu arranged a whole day of literary scenes.
Since Little Gray Wolf received the mission and began to pass on information, the resistance army's war gradually became less smooth. The communication and transportation of some important materials were accidentally cut off from time to time, and obtaining information became much more difficult than before.
The top leaders of the rebel army were in a state of panic, and Xia Tian, as the head of the information corps, became increasingly busy.
Until this day, the subordinate in charge of investigating the information security of the rebels reported to him.
"...In summary, after investigation, we have found several people with suspicious behavior, and we have found convincing explanations. Only Little Gray Wolf..." The subordinate hesitated and finally said embarrassedly, "How about you ask him yourself, Captain?"
Xia Tian remained silent for a long time, then waved his hand to let his subordinates leave.
That night, Little Gray Wolf once again avoided the camp patrol and left the base at night.
Under the cover of night, Xia Tian stood at the window, watching the little gray wolf's back disappear nimbly over the wall of the camp, his eyes filled with obscurity.
After a moment, he turned silently and left the room.
Xia Tian followed the little gray wolf's back all the way to an abandoned small workshop near the base. He quietly climbed into the workshop, groped his way to a window that was not closed tightly, and looked into the dimly lit room.
In the cold dim light, the little gray wolf was sitting in front of a strange-shaped workbench in the corner with his back to the window. Judging from his movements, he seemed to be writing something...
There was silence all around, and there was obviously no ambush nearby.
Xia Tian quietly entered the small workshop, taking one step, two steps, and slowly walked towards the back of Little Gray Wolf working at his desk.
As if sensing something, the little gray wolf turned around suddenly, and the moment he saw Xia Tian, he stood up abruptly and hurriedly hid something behind him. He moved too hastily and accidentally knocked over the flashlight standing next to him. The flashlight fell to the ground, and the room suddenly became darker.
Xia Tian's tone was calm and cold: "...What are you doing?"
Without waiting for the little gray wolf to answer, he approached and said in a hoarse voice: "Why did you come here instead of taking a good rest at night? Huh?"
The two of them were almost face to face. Xia Tian slowly reached out his hand, reached behind the boy, and forcefully pulled something out of his tightly clenched left hand.
It was a translucent gem with a faint golden color, the size of a thumb, vaguely carved into the shape of a wolf, but only the head was made into detail, and the body was still wrapped in a sloppy stone skin.
"What...is this?" Xia Tian's voice suddenly trembled.
The little gray wolf sighed and whispered, "I wanted to make it secretly and give it to you."
"Are you giving it to me?" In the dim light, Xia Tian stared into the little gray wolf's eyes.
"Yeah." The little gray wolf didn't avoid his gaze. "This is a stone I found in the wild before. It feels very beautiful, so I wanted to make something for you. Coincidentally, when I was stationed on patrol, I found a manual grinder in this workshop, so I thought I could use it."
After saying that, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "I wanted to prepare a surprise, but I saw that you seemed...frightened?"
Xia Tian did not answer his question. Instead, he suddenly grabbed the back of the boy's neck and kissed his lips hard.
The little gray wolf was pushed against the workbench, with his right hand supporting the edge of the table. His fingers slowly stroked under the edge of the workbench, and he stuffed a piece of folded paper into the crack under the edge of the table...
"Ok, passed." Director Mu was very satisfied. "Next there is a close-up monologue of the little gray wolf, and this scene is over. Go help Xiaodao prepare the styling."
Jiang Dao had no doubt and was obediently pulled into the dressing room to prepare his styling.
While getting his hair done, he keenly noticed that the stylist's demeanor was not right, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you so nervous?"
The comb in the stylist's hand fell to the ground with a plop.
She quickly picked it up, blushing and shaking her head to deny it: "No, no! I'm not nervous!"
Jiangdao: ...
The word "nervous" is almost written on your face. Are you not nervous yet?
However, it was obvious that the other party had no ill will towards him, so he might as well go with the flow and see what the other party was trying to do.
The stylist carefully restyled Jiang Dao's image and then took him back to the set.
The set was pitch black and all the lights were turned off. But Jiang Dao could hear the rustling of clothes of many people in the dark. He became slightly alert, but his reason told him that there should be no danger.
——Because Chu Yinlong is still here and he did not stop this.
Sure enough, the next second, a soft warm light came on, and Director Mu, Tang Yao, Zhou Wei, and Jing Yu were all standing in the middle of the field. Chu Yinlong slowly walked over pushing a food cart with a double-layer cake decorated with flowers and fruits, and raised his eyes to smile at him.
"One, two! Happy birthday to you—"
Jingyu started singing, and everyone in the venue sang in unison. All of their smiling faces turned towards Jiangdao, with an extremely sincere smile of blessing on their faces. Behind the crowd were the staff involved in the filming, and a professional cameraman was filming.
Jiang Dao felt a warm feeling in his heart, and unconsciously he smiled from the bottom of his heart. He looked at the man standing in the center of the crowd with tender eyes, and a layer of moisture rose in his eyes.
After the birthday song was sung, everyone congratulated:
"Happy birthday Jiangdao!"
"Kojima is twenty years old! Happy birthday!"
"I wish you a smooth twentieth birthday! Become an overnight sensation!"
"Everything goes smoothly and it will become very popular!"
Jiang Dao's throat rolled over, suppressing the tears that were about to burst out, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "...Thank you everyone."
Jingyu immediately started to make a noise: "Come on, make a wish and then cut the cake!"
Jiang Dao was not shy. He stepped forward, closed his eyes, made a wish, then blew out the candles and looked at everyone: "Thank you, everyone. I... I am so happy! Thank you, Director Mu, thank you... everyone! I... I will share the cake with everyone!"
"Tsk, you're being too perfunctory." Director Mu smiled and pretended to be disgusted, "Say a few more words!"
Jiang Dao was infected by the joyful atmosphere and laughed out loud: "It's dinner time now. I think everyone is hungry. Let's stop talking and share the cake quickly."
"That's right, no need to be so long-winded, Xiaodao, hurry up and cut the cake!" Jingyu obviously stood on Jiangdao's side, "Hurry up and let us share in the joy!"
Hearing this, Tang Yao laughed: "It's his birthday, why are you trying to get involved in his happiness? You should wait until he gets married before you get involved in his happiness."
"Wedding?" Jing Yu's eyes moved between Jiang Dao and Chu Yinlong.
The coordinator of the nearby studio accidentally saw this and laughed: "Jingyu, are you obsessed with this couple? Why do you only look at Teacher Chu when talking about Xiaodao's wedding? Are they really getting married?"
"Cough! Cough cough cough..." Jing Yu was choked by his own saliva.
Listening to their nonsense, Jiang Dao smiled and cut the cake, put the slices one by one on the plate handed to him by Chu Yinlong, and distributed them to everyone.
At this time, the crew also pushed in several other food carts, which were filled with a wide variety of Western side dishes and snacks, in addition to a cart of various soft drinks - obviously, this was a buffet dinner on the set specially planned for Jiang Dao's birthday.
Although it was called a dinner party, there wasn't much to it. Everyone was wearing work clothes and stage costumes and gathered together to eat and chat. At first glance, the scene looked quite strange.
As the birthday boy today, Jiang Dao naturally attracted a lot of attention. Staff and actors came to him one after another to have a drink, chat a few words and express their congratulations.
Jing Yu watched him drink one drink after another and couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, no alcoholic beverages are provided today, otherwise you would definitely be drunk."
Jiang Dao raised an eyebrow: "I'm not afraid of drinking. I've never been drunk."
Jingyu felt as if he was being looked down upon.
However, speaking of drinking... Jiang Dao sipped his soda and his eyes fell on Zhou Wei not far away.
He lowered his eyes and recalled the plot in the book, but he found that compared with the original book, this story had gone completely astray.
Perhaps because he does not exist in the world of the book, he does not seem to appear in the movie "Dawn City". At least, judging from the major events in the entertainment industry mentioned in the original text, this movie has nothing to do with the protagonist Zhou Wei.
In the book, Zhou Wei will be filming another web drama during this time, and will experience a series of setbacks including being squeezed out of the show, having plots deleted, and having her ranking torn away. In the end, Tang Yao stepped in to protect her and she was able to withdraw from the filming.
It was at that time that Zhou Wei pretended to be drunk and had sex with Tang Yao.
etc!
If it weren't for that opportunity to pretend to be drunk, Zhou Wei and Tang Yao wouldn't have...
Jiang Dao's eyes moved between Zhou Wei and Tang Yao, and he couldn't tell whether the two had had any intimate contact.
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Yinlong walked to Jiang Dao and asked with a smile.
"Hmm?" Jiang Dao came back to his senses and saw Jing Yu had already avoided him tremblingly. He curled his lips and replied, "Nothing, I just think Tang Yao and Zhou Wei are a good match."
After a moment of silence, Chu Yinlong said, "There's no need to envy them."
Jiang Dao looked at him and smiled: "That's right."
After the dinner, everyone cleaned up the set together, and today's work naturally came to an end. The remaining shot could be moved to tomorrow, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
Before returning to the room, Jiang Dao's assistant came over with a mobile phone and showed him the edited birthday business Weibo.
There was a photo in the draft, which was a close-up of him taken by the crew's cameraman. In the photo, he was standing in front of the cake, closing his eyes and making a wish, with a smile of joy from the bottom of his heart on his lips.
Because it is a close-up, there are no other people around in this photo, and the candlelight also blurs the background, so no clues can be seen, thus ensuring the privacy of the crew to the greatest extent possible.
The caption only had four simple words: "Twenty years old!"
Jiang Dao nodded: "Okay, just post it like this, I don't have anything to change."
The assistant agreed, posted the Weibo and left.
Jiang Dao went into the room, took a shower, and when he came out wearing a bathrobe, he found that Chu Yinlong had sneaked into his room again. The man, also with the moisture of having just showered, was leaning against the head of the bed, playing with a small box in his hand.
"What is this? A new type of condom?" Jiang Dao was not polite at all. He stepped forward and sat astride Chu Yinlong, snatched the box and opened the package.
Chu Yinlong was both angry and amused: "What are you thinking about? This is a birthday present prepared for you."
Jiang Dao said, "You can give condoms as birthday gifts, no problem with that... Hey?"
After opening the package, there was a jewelry box inside.
Inside the box is a dazzling diamond watch.
"I originally wanted to send you off yesterday morning, but Director Mu found me yesterday afternoon and said he wanted to arrange a birthday dinner for you." Chu Yinlong embraced Jiang Dao, his palms burning, "I thought, why not give it to you tonight, the atmosphere will be better."
Jiangdao closed the lid of the box and placed the gift on the bedside table.
Then he leaned closer to Chu Yinlong and smiled softly, "Thank you, I like the gift very much. However, you just said 'better atmosphere'... What kind of atmosphere do you want? Hmm?"
Chu Yinlong raised his eyebrows: "Are you asking even though you know the answer?"
Jiang Dao chuckled, leaned close to the man's ear, and said in a sweet and hoarse voice: "I just went to take a shower and forgot to take clothes, so there is actually something under my bathrobe..."
The second half of the sentence was suddenly swallowed up in a passionate and passionate kiss.
