They definitely couldn't sleep together at night, because they both finished work at different times. Even if they slept in the same room, they would probably only be woken up half-heartedly, take a look, and then fall asleep again. When they woke up the next day, the other one had already started working for two hours. It was impossible to synchronize their work and

rest schedules when filming. On the first day, Xu Yan finished work very early, giving everyone some time to get into the transition state. Xiao Yuan was also leisurely, and stayed by his side to check Weibo for the whole afternoon to see what the official Weibo of the crew would say after posting photos of the opening ceremony.

They finished work at around six o'clock, and Xu Yan was sweating all over. To put it bluntly, the costumes of immortals are ancient costumes. The "Qing Shuang Shang Shen" he played likes to wear white clothes. On TV, he wears white clothes that are full of fairy spirit, but in fact, he wears three layers of clothes inside and outside. If the actors are not skinny to a certain extent, they will look at least five or six pounds fatter.

Xiao Yuan blew a small fan on him while tidying up the robe that Xu Yan had taken off, and reported on his achievements this afternoon: "I don't know if it was a marketing trick, but it seems that there are a lot of fans! They all say that the casting is great. There is a lot of controversy about the female lead. The female lead has a scene of amnesia in the middle of the story, and the acting skills are still very high. Teacher Qiu Ling has never played such a role before... It's very stressful to take on such a role with so many fans of the original novel."

Xu Yan finally took off the last layer of clothes, leaving only the thinnest shirt on his body. There was also air conditioning in the dressing room, and Xiao Yuan's fan was aimed at him. It was as if he suddenly went from a hot and humid enclosed space into an open refrigerator, and he breathed a sigh of relief - he was alive.

He nodded: "Qiu Ling is also an actress with great acting skills, she should not be afraid of controversies. Controversy is good for both her and the crew. Controversy means there are topics and heat, and turning controversy into surprises is a win-win situation."

Xiao Yuan blinked and came over: "You know what? Book fans say that your casting with Teacher Zhuo Lu is amazing. The male lead is gentle, affectionate and forbearing, just like Teacher Zhuo Lu himself; the second male lead is more youthful and reckless, daring to love and hate without fear of heaven's punishment. Book fans saw your Green Oxygen look and the Weibo you posted before and felt that you fit the role too well."

"Even if it is a custom script, it is impossible to be 100% tailor-made. You still have to seriously understand the character's personality." Xu Yan smiled and did not agree with Xiao Yuan's arrogance.

Xiao Yuan curled his lips and said, "Oh, you just know how to pour cold water on me. Of course I know that, but we rarely receive such objective comments before, which makes me lose confidence. I really think that you are more dedicated to this industry than many people, and you have clear goals and don't do those messy things. Your acting skills are also very good. I think it should be like this now, and everyone should praise you!"

"Oh! Of course there's something more important! The boss was in the group photo at the opening ceremony of "Step into the Sky", and this has been on the hot search for the whole afternoon..." Xiao Yuan seemed to have just remembered it, and he became unhappy again when he said this, "Teacher Xu, you know I'm a bit stupid, I really thought that the boss could be an investor as long as he had money, it was a very simple thing. After reading the fans' analysis posts, I found out that it's not so easy..."

After dinner and a bath, it was past nine o'clock. Today was not very tiring. On the contrary, Xu Yan enjoyed the feeling of working with the seniors in big productions and learned a lot.

Xu Yan leaned on the bed and read the script for a while, and wrote down the lines for tomorrow. As a result, he was distracted frequently. He reacted and concentrated to recite two more lines. He was distracted again. He thought about what Xiao Yuan said that night, Liang Yisheng told him in the car that he was a fan of his, and Director Xu said "establish morality and cultivate people".

He had too many things in his mind, the crew, Liang Yisheng, and the unresolved family issue of his parents' strong opposition to his continued work in the entertainment industry. Xu Yan sighed, and finally gave up reciting the lines, sitting cross-legged on the bed and browsing Weibo.

"Whether Liang Yisheng is love-brained or not is not up to you fans to decide - this is a professional analysis from an industry insider.

Putting aside other things, I can fully understand the fans' panic, and even I was full of questions when I saw this news. It feels like you fans have finally been able to take Xu Yan, the queen, seriously, but he suddenly plays the role of the evil concubine of the country. But think about it, they are in a movie and a TV series, so logically there should be no conflict of interest, and Mr. Liang is not crazy about this. But this needs to be analyzed from another perspective. Although the objective facts are like this, the human heart will not judge based only on cold facts. Right or wrong, right? People are warm-hearted and too subjective. If the director of "Drunken Flower Shade" is upset, that is completely reasonable. Even if the relationship is over, Liang Yisheng offended a big director who often stays in the Lunar New Year movie because of Xu Yan. But, when I say this, are you going to say that it is still love-brained? No, this is why I say that whether a star is love-brained or not cannot be determined by fans. In your fans' mentality, you hope that your brother will always develop better without damaging your own interests. The fundamental contradiction lies here - "interests". The interests in your eyes and those in Liang Yisheng's eyes may be different, understand?"

"I'm speechless. Is my mentality wrong? Are there a lot of young fans in Mr. Liang's fan circle in recent years? Are there a lot of freeloaders? Have you ever bought an endorsement, attended a new film press conference, or boosted the sales of miscellaneous products? You don't think that just because you went to the cinema to watch two movies, you are a senior fan and can make comments in the fan circle! Since Mr. Liang has invested in TJX, boycotting TJX will make Mr. Liang lose money, okay? I'm speechless. How did you come up with this? Have you graduated from elementary school?"

Xu Yan couldn't help but run to check Weibo, reading all kinds of messy messages. When he was absorbed in the browsing, the screen of his mobile phone jumped, showing a video call invitation from Liang Yisheng.

Xu Yan felt guilty as if he was caught secretly looking at something, so he sat up straight, reached out to touch his hair which he had washed but didn't bother to blow dry, and even buttoned up the top button of his pajamas before answering the phone.

When he answered the phone, he looked at the time, which was 9:30, and thought that Liang Yisheng had just finished work and returned to his room, or maybe he had already taken a shower, but he didn't expect that he was wearing a black shirt and a dark red tie on his chest.

On both sides of the screen, one was wearing a formal suit, and the other was wearing casual pajamas. Xu Yan was a little restless, thinking that he was too casual, so he started to cover up and asked him: "Why are you dressed like this?"

Liang Yisheng was sitting in the car, looking at the driver's seat, he should be parked there to smoke, and white smoke drifted into the camera from time to time. He replied after a while, his voice was a little hoarse: "Drinking party, come out to accompany the drinking, fuck."

He laughed when he said this, maybe because he was lazy, holding a cigarette in one hand and a mobile phone in the other hand, and put the mobile phone somewhere in front of him, the viewing angle was not very good. Only the position from Liang Yisheng's chest to the tip of his nose can be seen, and the eyes cannot be seen above. Xu Yan subconsciously leaned forward, hoping to get a wider view by getting closer, but this was a video, and he obviously failed.

He could only look at his exposed Adam's apple and lips, a little anxious: "Ah? How much did you drink? Is the driver here?... Or should I pick you up? Where are you?"

Liang Yisheng didn't say anything, but took a puff of cigarette. The screen was immediately covered by a white mist, and then a low voice responded: "Downstairs of the hotel, the driver brought me back. I'll sit for a while."

He said this, and Xu Yan also fell silent, watching him smoke his third cigarette quietly.

How could Liang Yisheng still need to accompany people drinking? Accompanying people drinking is something that only small actors like them would do. For example, when he was at Lushuiting, Xu Yan could be considered to be accompanying Guo Hewei to drink. Liang Yisheng spoke in a tone that seemed as if he didn't believe it himself. He said that he made himself laugh while drinking with others and even used swear words.

Xu Yan pursed his lips, his tone lowered due to guilt, his eyes moved down, looking at his bed sheet: "Is it because of the investment in "Treading into the Nine Skies"? I'm sorry, I didn't think so much, and I only reacted after seeing everyone talking about it on the trending search."

"Not really, it's just a setup... I introduced some connections to the director of "Drunken Flower Shade". There are more and more New Year's events, and he doesn't have enough resources. I drank a little." Liang Yisheng said.

It may be an exaggeration to say that he was a drinking companion, but if there was no investment, Liang Yisheng would not have rushed to introduce people to connections and drank like this. Xu Yan felt moved and guilty no matter what, and repeated again: "I'm sorry."

"What are you saying sorry for? Why do you like to say sorry so much."

Xu Yan looked up at the phone, but still couldn't see his eyes, so he couldn't see his expression. But Liang Yisheng's tone when he said this was very fierce, a bit like... When they did it for the first time, Xu Yan suddenly had an idea and whispered to him: "Liang Yisheng, are you drunk?"

"Huh? No." The other side replied very quickly.

So fast that it seemed fake, a subconscious rebuttal, or a conditioned reflex after a conscious strike. Xu Yan didn't know what expression to make. He felt itchy in his heart and wanted to see what he looked like now, but he couldn't see it. So he said to the phone in a coaxing tone: "Then can you lift your phone up? I want to see you."

After a while, the other side laughed, "Can't see it now?"

Xu Yan nodded and said sincerely: "I can't see my face."

"Oh... What are you looking at my face for? Masturbating?"

Xu Yan stared at the phone screen with round eyes, with an unbelievable look, and his ears instantly turned red. Oh my god, why is Liang Yisheng drunk like this? Then... on that day at the wrap party of "Shadow", he and Lu Jiahong drank too much and called me twice. If I had answered the phone at that time, would I have seen Liang Yisheng like this?

Xu Yan stared and was speechless for a long time, and suddenly realized that although he couldn't see Liang Yisheng's face, Liang Yisheng could see him. He

suddenly put the phone on the quilt, took a long breath, and rubbed his hot face. He didn't know how long he paused, and there was no other sound coming out of the speaker of the phone. He didn't even know if Liang Yisheng had hung up the video.

When he picked up his phone to watch it again, he found that the video was still going on, but Liang Yisheng's phone seemed to have slipped down. This time, even his mouth and nose tip could not be seen. Only half of the roof and half of the windshield could be seen. Through the windshield, he could see the white street lights on the side of Hengdian Road outside.

Xu Yan was about to ask him to go back and rest early, but the other side spoke first.

"Xu Yan."

"Hey, I'm here, Teacher Liang. You should go back and rest early? Or do you want to see me? If you want to see me, I'll find you..."

"You said your aunt likes Zhuo Lu, so I will invest and send you to film with Zhuo Lu. In this way, she should not think that you are not doing well in the entertainment industry, nor will she think that I have ruined you." Liang Yisheng interrupted him. Before he spoke, he laughed very softly, so that Xu Yan had to listen carefully to hear it clearly.

Xu Yan opened his mouth but said nothing, looking at the half windshield on the screen.

"I just want you to feel at ease acting here," Liang Yisheng said, "and feel at ease being with me. Believe me, I will solve any problem."
