Chapter 142 Extra (3) Dog Man Man
Ruan Nanzhu made the film purely for fun, so no one took it too seriously. But a few months later, while sitting at home, unsure of what else to do, Ruan Nanzhu suddenly received a call from Zhang Yiqing, telling him that the film had been released and offering him two tickets to see it.
Ruan Nanzhu took the movie tickets and invited Lin Qiushi to watch his movie. The two of them happily went to the cinema. Lin Qiushi even bought a bucket of popcorn and sat in the audience.
The movie was a hundred minutes long, and Lin Qiushi hadn't had high expectations, but after watching it, he was incredibly impressed. Although Zhang Yiqing was a former actor and hadn't taken any formal directing courses, he was clearly very talented in directing. At least in this martial arts film where Ruan Nanzhu made a cameo appearance, his use of technique was truly applaudable.
Ruan Nanzhu, who plays the prince in the movie, is also exceptionally outstanding.
But they just watched it and didn't think much of it when they returned home. That was until the next day when Lin Qiushi opened his social media app and saw Ruan Nanzhu's character's name on the search list... He didn't quite understand these things, so he clicked on the list and found that many people were praising Ruan Nanzhu's acting skills and looks, saying how they had never seen this new actor before. They didn't expect that this newcomer with a small role would be so eye-catching.
Lin Qiushi woke the drowsy Ruan Nanzhu and handed him his phone. "Nanzhu, are you famous?"
Ruan Nanzhu opened his eyes, glanced at his phone screen, and then threw Lin Qiushi down again. He kissed the tip of Lin Qiushi's chin and said, "Don't worry about that..."
Lin Qiushi: "Hmm..."
Ruan Nanzhu had no concrete concept of fire, so when he received a call from Zhang Yiqing during lunch with Lin Qiushi, he was extremely impatient and said, "I'm just a small supporting role. Why should I accompany you to promote? What? Ban me? Are you taking the wrong medicine? I'm not in the entertainment industry. Ban me if you want—"
Lin Qiushi was amused by what he heard, but he didn't know what Zhang Yiqing said at the end. Ruan Nanzhu didn't refuse anymore. He frowned and looked at Lin Qiushi, then agreed to Zhang Yiqing's request to join the crew in promoting the show.
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Nanzhu said that Zhang Yiqing wanted him to accompany him for promotion for a period of time.
"Go ahead," Lin Qiushi said, "but if you really don't like it, don't force yourself. We have everything we need."
"Yeah." Ruan Nanzhu nodded and agreed to Lin Qiushi's words.
After that, Lin Qiushi became busy with his own projects, leaving him with less time to follow Ruan Nanzhu's film developments. When he realized Ruan Nanzhu was truly famous, he noticed that the girl in his studio had changed her desktop screensaver to a picture of Ruan Nanzhu. Thinking he'd seen it wrong, Lin Qiushi pointed at the screensaver and asked, "Who is this?"
Upon hearing this, the little girl excitedly recommended Ruan Nanzhu to Lin Qiushi, saying that this was a very popular newcomer named Yu Qiuqiu, who was not only good-looking but also had good acting skills!
Lin Qiushi: “…” Okay, okay, stop talking. I know very well how good his acting is.
That night, Lin Qiushi fell into deep thought as he looked at Ruan Nanzhu, who was wearing pajamas and watching a show in the kitchen.
Ruan Nanzhu also noticed Lin Qiushi's gaze and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Qiushi: "Nanzhu..."
Ruan Nanzhu: "Hmm?"
Lin Qiushi: "Are you famous?"
Ruan Nanzhu asked, "Fire? What kind of fire?"
Seeing his bewildered expression, Lin Qiushi had to change his question: "Is Yu Qiuqiu famous now?" This guy even used his pseudonym when he debuted.
Ruan Nanzhu slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! Our Qiuqiu is very famous! Zhang Yiqing recommended me to his other friends and asked me to be the protagonist——"
Lin Qiushi said, "Isn't this a good thing?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "That's not a good thing. If I were to film a movie, I'd have to run around everywhere and wouldn't be able to accompany you."
Lin Qiushi thought for a moment and said, "You're just having fun anyway, so don't worry about it. If you don't want to shoot, don't shoot. If you're tired, just rest." Other stars might feel burdened, but Ruan Nanzhu didn't.
"Okay." Ruan Nanzhu agreed. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "Oh, by the way, that new guy who just joined Obsidian came to the set a few times that day, and I ignored him. You talk to Ye Niao about it. If he comes again, I might lose control."
Lin Qiushi thought for a long time before he remembered this person's existence. This person seemed to be the newcomer who coveted Ruan Nanzhu's beauty and thought he had forced Ruan Nanzhu. He asked, "What do you mean you can't control yourself?"
Ruan Nanzhu said, "Of course I couldn't help myself and beat him up."
Lin Qiushi: “…”
Honestly, after undergoing the baptism of the Gate, their physiques are generally stronger than those of ordinary people. Lin Qiushi was one of these people. He had originally thought he was on par with Ruan Nanzhu, but one evening, he discovered he was no match for him. Ruan Nanzhu, intent on playing some tricks, easily restrained Lin Qiushi. He pinned both of Lin Qiushi's hands to his head with one hand. His hand, seemingly white as jade, felt like cast iron. No matter how Lin Qiushi struggled, he remained motionless.
And when Ruan Nanzhu usually carried Lin Qiushi to take a bath, he could lift Lin Qiushi, a healthy adult male, with one hand.
After discovering this situation, Lin Qiushi laughed at himself in his heart for still worrying that Ruan Nanzhu would be bullied outside - it was good enough that he didn't bully others.
"It's okay." Based on the above factors, Lin Qiushi said, "If it really bothers you, then just do it."
Ruan Nanzhu nodded.
A few days after this matter was said, Lin Qiushi went to visit the crew of Ruan Nanzhu's filming. This time, Ruan Nanzhu was filming a modern drama, and in the script he was a handsome murderer. Lin Qiushi felt that this character was quite suitable for Ruan Nanzhu.
He had been waiting by the roadside when he caught a strange sound, like a human... moaning. Lin Qiushi frowned at the sound and turned to look at the dark, dimly lit alley nearby. They were filming at a film and television base, a complex area filled with buildings of various styles, and naturally many remote areas that were out of reach of the cameras.
Lin Qiushi was just wondering whether he should go over and take a look when he heard Ruan Nanzhu's voice.
Ruan Nanzhu's voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "Is it good?"
Lin Qiushi: "..." He silently walked to the side of the alley and saw Ruan Nanzhu standing there, and another person kneeling before him. Although the light was a little dim and Lin Qiushi couldn't see the person's face clearly, the scene before him was completely different from the charming scene he had imagined.
The man lay on the ground like a dead dog. Ruan Nanzhu also heard the footsteps of others. He turned his head and saw Lin Qiushi. A faint smile appeared on his cold face. He naturally lowered his rolled-up sleeves and walked towards Lin Qiushi, saying, "Why are you here?"
Lin Qiushi glanced at the dying man on the ground and asked, "He's not dead, is he?"
"Of course he's not dead. I know my limits." Ruan Nanzhu walked over, like a gentle and lovable big cat. As if his ferocious and cold appearance just now was just an illusion to Lin Qiushi, he said, "Just call him an ambulance."
"I... I'm going to call the police..." The man on the ground said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "You... you actually hit me..."
Only then did Lin Qiushi recognize the man's identity. Wasn't he the newcomer from Obsidian that Ruan Nanzhu had mentioned a few days ago? He hadn't expected him to continue harassing Ruan Nanzhu. He had finally succeeded in pissing him off, beating him so hard he didn't even recognize his mother.
I don’t know if he felt very complicated when he was slapped to the ground by Ruan Nanzhu, who looked like a little white rabbit.
Lin Qiushi said, "Since he still has the energy to threaten us, there's no need to call an ambulance."
Ruan Nanzhu said, "No need. I avoided the vital parts. They were all flesh wounds."
Lin Qiushi nodded, took out his phone and called Ye Niao. Ye Niao was furious after the call and said he would come right over and told Lin Qiushi not to be angry.
After Lin Qiushi hung up the phone, he took Ruan Nanzhu's hand and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm injured." Ruan Nanzhu complained, "Look, the skin is all broken."
After hearing this, Lin Qiushi searched for a long time and finally found the broken skin that was no bigger than his little finger. He glanced at the man beside him who was beaten like a pig's head, then looked at the wound on the back of Ruan Nanzhu's hand. Finally, he couldn't help laughing: "You..."
A smile also appeared in Ruan Nanzhu's eyes.
Ye Niao arrived quickly, dragging the man away like trash. Before leaving, he apologized to Lin Qiushi, saying that he had poor judgment in choosing such a person...
Lin Qiushi said, "It's okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."
Even though the matter was settled like this, Lin Qiushi never saw this person again, and no police came to trouble them. Ye Niao handled the matter cleanly.
"They didn't bully you, did they?" Lin Qiushi asked Ruan Nanzhu this question after returning home.
After hearing this, Ruan Nanzhu asked, "Who are they?"
Lin Qiushi: "Of course it's the crew."
Ruan Nanzhu pondered for a moment: "They think I'm being kept by a big boss and am involved in gangs..."
Lin Qiushi: “…”
Ruan Nanzhu said, "So, you are quite respectful to me?"
After hearing this, Lin Qiushi was instantly at a loss for words. Ruan Nanzhu was clearly the boss, so why would he need someone else's support? But since he enjoyed acting, it wouldn't be a problem for him to accompany him. They still had plenty of time together, and there were still many things they could try.
Ruan Nanzhu moved closer to Lin Qiushi, resting his chin on his shoulder, mumbling something about feeling sleepy. Lin Qiushi stroked his hair, as if stroking a large cat's fur. A beast might appear like a cat when docile, but if provoked, it could become a ferocious beast.
But this beast would never stretch out its claws against him.
