Chapter 5
At three o'clock in the morning, Su Xingyao boarded a plane to Y City.
Because the filming location was in a relatively remote place, after getting off the plane, he took another car and traveled for more than six hours before reaching the crew.
Su Xingyao was exhausted after running around all night. After arriving at the hotel, he didn't even have time to eat a bite of food before he hurriedly fell asleep.
Su Xingyao slept until six in the afternoon.
He woke up despite feeling sleepy, ate a few bites of dinner in a hurry, and then started reading the script.
Before this, he actually didn't know what kind of story "Flowers Falling on Glass" told.
He didn't even know what role he was playing.
Liang Yifan had told him that he had accepted the notice a long time ago, but tomorrow is the opening ceremony of "Flowers Falling in Glass", so he asked his new assistant to give him the script today.
It's easy to guess that it was because of the phone call that day about terminating the contract, and the other party was deliberately making trouble for me.
It’s such a tiring schedule. If he is too sleepy and really falls asleep, then he will be scolded badly when he joins the crew tomorrow without any preparation.
Liang Yifan wanted to make things difficult for her, but Su Xingyao ignored his tricks and simply lowered her eyes to focus on the script in her hand and began to read it carefully.
As an S-level project, "Flowers Falling in Glass" is the most popular and easiest BL drama to attract traffic on the market, and the subject matter is also the most popular fairy tale among current audiences.
The two protagonists in the play are set as celestial beings in heaven. They have a destined marriage and after experiencing three lifetimes of love tribulations in the human world, they finally get married.
The story takes place after the three lives of love tribulation. The two ascended to immortality and returned to their original positions as immortals. As long as Yue Lao ties the red thread together in the end, they can love each other forever and shine on each other.
However, this is where the unexpected happened.
When Yue Lao was tying the red thread, the thread of fate between the two was severed due to an accident.
It was precisely because of this mistake that one of the immortals fell in love with the Demon Lord and fell into the path of evil, which eventually led to a catastrophe and chaos in the heavens.
After the Immortal Sect was severely damaged by the Immortal and the Demon Lord, the Jade Emperor had no choice but to restart the cycle of reincarnation, turning back time to the last life of the three lives of love and disaster, and forcibly sending the two Immortals and the Demon Lord back to change history.
The role played by Su Xingyao in the drama is the villain demon lord who breaks up the protagonist's marriage.
A vicious cripple who committed numerous evil deeds, had an extremely twisted and perverted mentality, and was finally dismembered and ripped out of his heart by one of the protagonists.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Su Xingyao finished reading the script.
He gently closed the script, rubbed his sore eyes, and began to sort out the plot he had just grasped in his mind.
When he heard Liang Yifan ask him to join the crew, he was actually mentally prepared.
This agent can be said to have made an indispensable contribution to the fact that he was able to appear on so many negative hot searches in the past.
Therefore, Su Xingyao also knew that the crew that could give him this configuration this time would definitely not give him any good role.
For an extremely extreme character like Bai Xu, no matter how well he performs, there is only one ending.
Scolded by the audience.
If you don't act well, everything from your acting skills to your character will be denigrated.
His acting is so realistic that the audience will bring him into the role of the real person and assume that he is acting in his true colors.
Moreover, when this character was the Demon Lord, he was loved by one of the protagonists because of the misalignment of the red thread of marriage.
After the show is aired, the CP fans will definitely be crazy about him.
Thinking of this, Su Xingyao chuckled.
In the past, he would have chosen to compromise because of the influence of the plot and his parents' opposition to his involvement in the entertainment industry, even though he was clearly sober, and passively played the role of the brainless cannon fodder as everyone expected.
But now, he is awake.
Su Xingyao opened her eyes.
He was not discouraged by this not-so-good role. On the contrary, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
The slender fingers held the pen and quickly wrote rows of small words on the blank notebook.
He began to write a biography of Bai Xu according to his own understanding.
This character, like himself, was designed by the author as a stereotyped villain to set off the love between the top and the bottom.
But it does not mean there is no room for improvement.
On the contrary, in this human plot, the contrast between Bai Xu's personality before and after, and the distorted character caused by his tragic experience, made Su Xingyao feel that this person had a kind of struggle and strength against the injustice of fate that was different from the protagonist of Truth, Goodness and Beauty.
Such a character should be interpreted with his own soul.

At five o'clock the next morning, Su Xingyao, who had just slept for five hours, was woken up by a call from her assistant Xiaoyu.
The crew's opening ceremony will be at 12:08, and all important characters in the crew will need to be present in full makeup.
After hearing this, Su Xingyao, who was obviously still not recovered, didn't say anything. She cooperated and got up early, followed the crew's car to the designated dressing room for styling.
Ancient costume styling has always been much more complicated than modern styling. In addition, the director of the "Fallen Flowers and Glasses" crew had very high requirements for makeup, so Su Xingyao spent more than three hours before finally getting the styling done.
When he came out of the dressing room, two staff members who were passing by almost bumped into each other while looking at him.
The young man in black brocade clothes was wrapped in a fox fur coat. Against the extreme black background and in the backlight, his originally fair skin looked even more transparent.
Especially the deliberately deepened eye makeup, coupled with Su Xingyao's beautiful fox eyes, is so dazzling and captivating.
"Fuck, Bai Xu is actually played by Su Xingyao..."
The crew had previously kept all the characters secret, so the crew members were also particularly surprised by Su Xingyao's arrival.
The news spread quickly, and soon in various inconspicuous corners, the gossipy staff were quietly discussing it.
However, because he looked so good today, the focus of everyone's discussion was almost entirely on his appearance.
"You know what, Su Xingyao is pretty good-looking. When he came over just now, I didn't dare to look him in the eye."
"After all, she is a famous waste beauty. You can question her character and acting skills, but you can't question her looks. She doesn't have this face for nothing."
"I always thought Jiang Zihang was pretty good-looking, but after meeting Su Xingyao in person today, I realized that his looks were completely overshadowed by Su Xingyao."
As soon as the staff member finished saying this, a white figure flashed by.
He looked carefully and found that the other person was Jiang Zihang, the one whose appearance was overshadowed by Su Xingyao, as he had just mentioned.
The staff member didn’t know whether the other party heard it or not, so he quickly shut his mouth guiltily and went to the other side.
Jiang Zihang, who appeared to be nonchalant, actually heard every word clearly and was now furious.
It's not just because his appearance is criticized, but also because he is Shen Huaixi's good friend. Because of Shen Huaixi, he has never liked Su Xingyao.
It was already annoying enough to know that this annoying guy was going to act in the same drama with me, but now his fans are also starting to criticize my appearance...
Jiang Zihang was so disgusted that he was speechless.
Is such a scumbag worthy of being compared with me?
Jiang Zihang was still in a bad mood and arrived at the actor gathering point with a cold face.
As a result, he arrived late and before he could stand firmly, he saw the second female lead Yu Sisi pinching Su Xingyao's face with a smile from afar.
"No wonder he could charm the Immortal. If I were Immortal Jinhua, I would also be obsessed with him."
The words that Yu Sisi used to praise Su Xingyao in the drama were like a steel needle that once again pierced Jiang Zihang's heart. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and felt like his lungs were about to explode once again.
No one noticed Jiang Zihang's one-man show and the hidden dangers.
As soon as it was twelve:08, the crew's opening ceremony was held on time.
After burning incense and taking photos according to the procedure, the director immediately organized everyone to read the script together.
Script reading actually means the main actors sitting together and immersing themselves in their roles to rehearse their lines.
Many crews now do this before filming begins.
Firstly, it allows the actors to get familiar with each other first, so as to avoid any problems in coordination during filming due to lack of familiarity.
Another way is to try to understand the characters and identify problems during the reading process so that the screenwriter can make revisions in time.
Before the script reading, Su Xingyao was called in to take makeup photos.
The weather has been fluctuating between hot and cold lately, but it's bearable to wear such a costume in the morning.
In the afternoon, the temperature suddenly soared to over 30 degrees. Although the crew brought in an air conditioner, everyone was wearing ancient costumes and the crew was in a completely open environment, so the air conditioner was of little use.
After Su Xingyao finished taking the final makeup photos, she immediately took off her fox fur cloak.
Yu Sisi, who had been joking with him before, waved at him and immediately handed him a bowl of mung bean soup.
"Come on, Xingyao, have a drink to cool down. Linghe is treating you."
The Linghe that Yu Sisi mentioned is the protagonist of this BL drama, Ji Linghe.
Because the weather was too hot, the other party treated the entire crew to milk tea and mung bean soup.
As the actors had just arrived, they were all unfamiliar with the place, so Ji Linghe's move undoubtedly won everyone's favor on the first day.
But on the contrary, Su Xingyao, who was not liked by everyone, had almost no one contacting him after he came to the crew except for necessary work.
But if the crew continues like this, the atmosphere is bound to be bad.
So Yu Sisi, who was a smooth and versatile person, took on the task of taking the initiative to talk to him.
She brought the mung bean soup to Su Xingyao and winked at him, "It's so hot today."
After expressing his thanks, Su Xingyao politely took the soup handed to her.
But he didn't drink it. Instead, he smiled apologetically and said, "I don't dare drink this."
As soon as Su Xingyao finished speaking, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Yu Sisi's eyes.
She suddenly remembered the rumor that Su Xingyao was difficult to get along with, a big shot in the crew, and didn't eat anything from the crew...
After joining the group, she forgot about this matter because she saw that Su Xingyao was gentle and didn't seem like someone with a bad temper.
But now the other party's words made her think of the rumor again.
Yu Sisi was regretting her meddling in other people's affairs when she heard Su Xingyao's half-joking explanation to her.
"Sister Sisi, I'm allergic to mung beans. Eating them can kill me."
A hint of surprise flashed across Yu Sisi's eyes.
Could it be fatal?
Yu Sisi had seen a lot of storms after all, so she quickly regained her composure, "Allergic to mung beans? That's quite rare."
"Well, I have asthma and am allergic to a lot of foods."
Now that Yu Sisi finally understood the reason, she instantly understood Su Xingyao.
Asthma can really be fatal... No wonder he is so cautious about his diet.
Thinking of the dietary restrictions that the assistant had just sent her, she kindly reminded the other party.
"Did your assistant give the stage manager any food taboos? I don't think I saw your notes just now."
Standing next to Su Xingyao, the new assistant Xiaoyu, who also looked surprised, patted her head in annoyance after hearing Yu Sisi's hidden blame, "Ah... I forgot, sorry, sorry."
She wanted to say she didn't know.
But when he thought that saying this would easily make everyone misunderstand that Su Xingyao was lying, he quickly changed the wording.
Xiaoyu encountered such a thing on her first day at work. She didn't even care about the embarrassment and looked at Su Xingyao with some fear.
She had heard before that Su Xingyao was not easy to get along with. Although it was only her first day at work and she didn't know whether it was normal or not, she was inexplicably afraid that Su Xingyao would blame her for being careless.
After all, today's celebrities are quite difficult to please, and assistants are just punching bags.
However, the scolding that Xiaoyu had imagined did not come.
Instead of blaming her, Su Xingyao secretly sent her a message.
The other party sent her all the foods he was allergic to.
Tomatoes, rabbit meat, goose meat, soybeans, mung beans, shrimps, crabs, oysters, and raw peanuts.
Xiaoyu looked at these things in disbelief, trying hard to write them down, and at the same time felt extremely sympathetic towards Su Xingyao.
I'm allergic to so many things...
This is really too tragic.

After all the actors had finished taking their final makeup photos, the crew's reading activity began at three o'clock in the afternoon.
At the same time, photos of the crew of "Flowers Falling in Glass" starting filming were also leaked by the powerful fan club member.
As a result, the crew and the two leading actors became hot searches.
Su Xingyao, who suddenly reappeared after disappearing for more than a month, also became a hot topic.
