Chapter 39: Pit



Being an actor is actually very hard sometimes, just like wearing a cotton-padded jacket in the summer and shorts in the winter. Although Ouyang Qianran is not wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts now, it is not much different.

He was wearing thin casual clothes inside and a doctor's white coat outside. It is now the end of December, which can be said to be the coldest time of the year. The moment he stepped onto the rooftop, a gust of cold wind blew, and Ouyang Qianran couldn't help shivering. But when Ouyang Qianran saw Ling Yingluo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a thin light blue patient suit, and kept his back straight from beginning to end, as if he didn't feel any cold at all, Ouyang Qianran couldn't help but give Ling Yingluo extra points in his heart.

But thinking about it later, it seemed natural, because in Ouyang Qianran's view, Ling Yingluo, this natural refrigeration freezer, is much colder than the cold wind that is blowing now.

Ling Yingluo doesn't have many roles in the movie. He plays a tragic character whose parents and fiancée died, and who also gets cancer and will not live for more than three months. Now their roles are that the character played by Ling Yingluo loses the will to live after knowing that he has cancer, while Li Zhaoyang, played by Ouyang Qianran, comes to persuade him.

"Okay, all kinds of workers, get ready..."

The moment the sign sounded, Ouyang Qianran clearly noticed that Ling Yingluo, who was sitting in a wheelchair not far away, had obviously changed. The original coldness and arrogance suddenly turned into a heart-wrenching despair.

This was the first time that Ouyang Qianran fought against the strongest opponent in his life. Even though he had seen many of Ling Yingluo's works before and even though he already knew that his acting skills were very strong, when he really faced Ling Yingluo, Ouyang Qianran realized what the gap was.

"My parents are dead, Xiaoling is dead too, and I won't live for more than three months. But the murderer who killed my parents is still at large. He was released safe and sound after only one day in prison. Accident, everything is an accident? You said there is justice in the world, this is what you fucking call justice."

The ice on Ling Yingluo's face melted away the moment the filming started, turning into endless despair. His eyes were dark and empty, and he had lost the will to live. But when he mentioned the person who hit and killed all his relatives with a car, he felt so much hatred. He hated the judge for being bribed, he hated the man for getting away with justice with money, he hated the injustice of God, and he hated himself for being powerless.

His hatred was transmitted through his eyes and into Ouyang Qianran's heart, causing absolute shock to Ouyang Qianran. I couldn't help but reply to the line in the script, "No, bad guys will definitely be punished, they will definitely get retribution, don't do this..."

"Punishment... retribution..." Ling Yingyue showed extreme sarcasm, "Yes, there will be punishment, but it is on good people. My parents have sponsored so many orphans. They are usually kind and generous. My girlfriend is innocent and kind. She didn't abandon me even when I was in the most difficult time. They are all good people, but they died. They were killed by others. This is the punishment. And the business I worked so hard to build was taken away by others in the blink of an eye. Now I have nothing and I am terminally ill. This is what you call retribution."

Ling Yinglu was very excited. He showed all the despair and anger of this character. At that moment, he had already put himself into this role. He was this character and this character was him. His despair and anger had penetrated through his eyes and reached Ouyang Qianran's heart, causing Ouyang Qianran to ask himself in his heart, was he really wrong? Will the bad guys in this world really be punished?

Ouyang Qianran showed hesitation on his face because of Ling Yingluo's words. He began to doubt and waver. Were all his previous thoughts wrong?

"Cut..." Yan Kuan stood up and shouted, "Very good, this scene is over, all workers are ready to shoot the next scene."

The moment Yan Kuan called out "Cut", Ouyang Qianran's eyes showed confusion. He seemed to have not yet realized that he was filming. What happened just now?

Ouyang Qianran's confused eyes came to their senses the moment He Junjun took the coat and put it on him. Then he immediately looked with shock at Ling Yinglu who was also covered with a coat by Fan He not far away.

"Second Young Master, you performed well just now. I didn't expect that you would pass the role in one take for the first time acting opposite Ling Yingyue." He Junjun said with a smile.

"No, it's not that I acted well, it's that..." Damn it, he was so into the role, he was brought into the role by Ling Yingyue, but he himself was completely unaware? Is this the acting skill of 90% proficiency in advanced skills? The gap between zero percent and ninety percent is so huge?

"And what?" He Junjun looked at Ouyang Qianran in confusion.

Ouyang Qianran ignored him and walked behind Yan Kuan, watching the replay and the scene that was just filmed. As expected, he was obviously the protagonist, but was overshadowed by Ling Yingyue. Yan Kuan was of course aware of this, which is why he was given so many close-ups in that scene. Even though Ouyang Qianran felt that his expression at the time was very appropriate, it was not his own acting skills, but he was brought into the role by Ling Yingluo.

"Did you see it?" Yan Kuan suddenly turned around and asked.

"I see." Ouyang Qianran's face darkened. He certainly knew what Yan Kuan meant. He lost the first encounter.

Yan Kuan stood up, glanced at Ling Yingyue who was not far away, and patted Ouyang Qianran on the shoulder, "You are not born in a professional school. You have only been in the entertainment industry for a few months, and your acting skills have improved so quickly. It's already very good."

Ouyang Qianran had a blank expression on his face and said nothing.

Yan Kuan continued, "Don't compare yourself with Ling Yingyue. He is now the best in the world. In terms of acting skills, no other artist in the world's entertainment industry can compare to him. He is just a pervert. You don't need to compare yourself with him. You just need to be yourself. You are still young. As long as you work hard and make sacrifices, I believe that by then, you will not be worse than him."

Yan Kuan seemed to have thought of Ouyang Qianran's current bad mood, because every actor who had acted opposite Ling Yingluo seemed to be in almost the same mood as Ouyang Qianran. If it were any other actor, Yan Kuan would not say much, but Ouyang Qianran was different. In Yan Kuan's heart, he was actually very optimistic about Ouyang Qianran. Because Ouyang Qianran also possesses a very high talent for acting. Even if he is not as good as Ling Yinglu now, don't forget that Ouyang Qianran is still very young. He is only eighteen years old, and Ling Yinglu is already twenty-eight years old. The current Ouyang Qianran is no worse than Ling Yinglu back then. Yan Kuan has reason to believe that Ouyang Qianran will catch up with Ling Yingluo. Therefore, Yan Kuan gave Ouyang Qianran some special care and even personally came to enlighten Ouyang Qianran.

After Yan Kuan's words of comfort, Ouyang Qianran finally responded, and Yan Kuan thought his words had worked.

As a result, Ouyang Qianran looked at Yan Kuan deeply, nodded with understanding, and left. Yan Kuan looked at Ouyang Qianran's departing back, sighed, and then shook his head, "Alas, you are still too young. You are already hit hard."

Was Ouyang Qianran really hit by this? That was of course impossible. Although he already knew the distance between himself and Ling Yingluo, he did not expect that the gap would be so huge when they really faced each other. However, Ouyang Qianran was not overwhelmed, let alone frustrated. Are you kidding? Who is he Ouyang Qianran? If he would be frustrated by such a small thing, he would not be Ouyang Qianran. Ouyang Qianran is now just thinking about how to get Ling Yinglu's approval and then complete the task.

But outsiders don’t think so, like Ouyang Yi who has always been paying attention to Ouyang Qianran.

Seeing Ouyang Qianran's expressionless face, Ouyang Yi couldn't help but come over to comfort him: "Uncle, don't be discouraged. We ordinary people can't compare with Ling Yingluo." Ouyang Yi looked like he "understood very well and had a lot of feelings". Indeed, Ouyang Yi had acted opposite Ling Yinglu before, so he knew very well how Ouyang Qianran felt at the moment.

"I'm not discouraged." Ouyang Qianran responded calmly.

"Uncle, why are you pretending in front of me? Don't I know you well? In my opinion, you are only eighteen years old, and Ling Yingluo is twenty-eight, so you are ten years apart. It is understandable that there is a huge difference in acting skills. With your current acting skills, you will definitely catch up with Ling Yingluo in the future. Come on, uncle, I am optimistic about you." Ouyang Yi clenched his fist and gave Ouyang Qianran a cheering gesture.

Ouyang Qianran looked at Ouyang Yi strangely, remembering Yan Kuan's words of comforting him just now. Their words were similar, both implying that he was still young and shouldn't be so anxious or depressed. Does he really look that fragile?

Ouyang Yi continued to chatter, "Uncle, you said before that Ling Yingyue is a pervert. How can you compare yourself with a pervert? You are only eighteen years old, and you are invincible in youth. This is an advantage that Ling Yingyue does not have."

"Really?" Ouyang Qianran looked at the person behind Ouyang Yi, his eyes flashing with a teasing light, "You mean to say that Ling Yingluo is old?"

Seeing that the tension on Ouyang Qianran's face had finally relaxed, Ouyang Yi thought that his comfort had worked, and hurriedly said, "Of course, compared to your eighteen-year-old uncle who is invincible in youth, Ling Yinglu is just old." Oh, Ouyang Yi felt that it was not easy for him either. In order to comfort his uncle, he actually went against his conscience and belittled the number one actor Ling Yinglu. He was really too kind.

"Oh, I see." Ouyang Qianran looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and seemed to agree with Ouyang Yi's words.

Ouyang Yi was just about to be happy, but who knew that a light blue figure wearing a black coat walked past him. The smile on Ouyang Yi's face froze, and he asked Ouyang Qianran cautiously: "Um... Uncle, when did he get behind me?"

"Just when you said he was a pervert." Ouyang Qianran tried to suppress a smile on his face, but he couldn't conceal the smile in his eyes. He looked at Ouyang Yi, who was at a loss, with a bit of mockery.

What? It turned out that Ling Yingyue had been standing behind him just now. When Ouyang Yi thought that everything he said just now was heard by Ling Yingyue, he finally couldn't help it and wailed to Ouyang Qianran: "Uncle, how could you trick me like this?"

It’s such a scam. Ouyang Qianran is such a scam. What should he do? What should he do now? After his uncle and Ling Yingyue finished filming the next scene, it would be his and Ling Yingyue's turn. He actually said bad things about Ling Yinglu behind her back in front of her. Will Ling Yinglu let him go? Ouyang Yi wished he could find a piece of tofu to hit himself to death.

Seeing Ouyang Yi's regretful look and wishing time could go back, Ouyang Qianran finally couldn't help laughing. Haha, he felt happy when he saw Ouyang Yi looking unhappy. No more depressed mood. Yes, he is so bad and so sinister.

He Junjun, who had been standing behind Ouyang Qianran, couldn't help shaking when he saw his second young master gloating over the harm he had done to his nephew. As expected, no matter who you offend, you must not offend the Second Young Master. Young Master Ouyang just made a few jokes to the Second Young Master in the dressing room, and was tricked by the Second Young Master in the blink of an eye.

Well, from now on, when facing the Second Young Master, you must be extremely alert. Otherwise, if you get tricked by the Second Young Master like Young Master Ouyang did today, it would not be fun.
