Chapter 23 Unexpected Call "Yes, that's what I mean, dear. ...
He Yan didn't know that Zhu Shengting had posted on Weibo early in the morning. It was He Chulian who suddenly sent him a strange message.
He Chulian: Banquet! You really need to learn from Teacher Zhu when it comes to business! [Weibo link attached]
What a mess.
He Yan thought.
What did Zhu Shengting do behind his back?
He clicked on the Weibo link with a bit of trepidation.
At first glance, it seems normal. Isn't it just posting a personal photo?
He Yan replied speechlessly to He Chulian: "Isn't this Weibo post very ordinary? You want me to imitate his Weibo business? I do it more frequently than him, okay? He should learn from me, okay?" [rolling eyes]
He Chulian: It's not that you didn't get my point, buddy, click on the large picture he posted and take a closer look! [anxious]
He Yan's fingers paused for a moment. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, and with a skeptical attitude, he clicked on Zhu Shengting's freshly posted Weibo again.
Then I clicked on the larger image.
etc?
Is that half of his shoulder on the left?
Wait a little longer!
The back of the head in the second picture is also him!
What does Zhu Shengting mean?
He Yan's face felt a little hot, but then he suddenly thought of something and cooled down.
He Yan: I understand what you mean, but you may be overthinking it, because I was sitting next to him during the script reading, so he would definitely have been photographed.
He Yan felt that his idea was more normal. He Chulian was thinking too much. Zhu Shengting himself probably didn't think that much at all.
He Chulian on the other side remained calm for a few seconds without replying, and finally replied after a while.
He Chulian: Okay, after thinking about it carefully, what you said makes sense. I’ll leave now because class is about to start.
However, even a straight man like He Chulian was "overthinking", so the thoughtful female CP fans must be even more sensitive.
In Shengyan’s super topic, many CP fans who witnessed this have already discovered this and are shouting loudly!
[Holy crap, my friends, this collaboration couldn't be more real, it's more real than the RMB I have on me!]
[Damn, Zhu Shengting must be craving brother-in-law, posting this on Weibo! Anyone who's even slightly familiar with He Yan would recognize this head and arms...]
[Yeah, yeah, and there's also a particularly stereotypical outfit, who else could it be besides our Sister Yan? ]
I can’t take it anymore, sisters, hahahaha! I’ve already seen some Tingsi recognize and break down, you must watch this—“We know you’re going to work with that guy with the white eyes, but can you hide it and not post pictures to trick us?”
[Hey, sisters who are fans of the show, don’t be angry. Your real partner really loves this guy you are talking about. What can you do?]
[Ting Si, rest assured, White Eyes Sister will definitely give Zhu Shengting the most rolling eyes, he is unique!]
[Ting's brother-in-law is really something. He could have posted a photo of himself reading the script alone so that his fans could still deceive him. But you just had to show Yan's sister-in-law because you were addicted to it. There's nothing I can do about it!]
[Brother-in-law, be careful! I'm using the Recycle Bin bot again! ]
[Hahahaha! I feel like Sister Yan will already appear in the Sister-in-law bot]
[My friends, I'm truly relieved now. I was a little skeptical about this collaboration at first, but now I truly feel like the happiest little girl in the world!]
If you knew that my CP has only been with me for half a month and my CP is already working together on a dual male lead drama, you would also think that I am lucky.
No matter how lively and happy the fans in the super topic were, He Yan couldn't see it. But an hour later, when He Yan and his friends were taking a break from reading, He Chulian sent him a message again.
He Chulian: Damn, I got sidetracked by your thoughts just now, Yan! Don't get it wrong! It's normal for you to be photographed sitting next to him, but the problem is, you haven't officially announced your collaboration yet! [Attached is a screenshot of CP fans' comments on Weibo]
"You haven't officially announced your collaboration yet!"
He Chulian's words were deafening.
He Yan's mind suddenly got stuck.
Yes! He almost forgot! They haven't officially announced their collaboration yet! So this photo must have been taken intentionally by Zhu Shengting!
What a scheme! He Yan turned his head and glanced at the man sitting next to him, circling and drawing on the script.
Zhu Shengting seemed to sense something. When he looked up, he saw He Yan staring at him fiercely, with a look of urgency in his eyes.
Zhu Shengting: “?”
He Yan was best at getting straight to the point. He asked directly, "What did you mean by that Weibo post this morning?"
Zhu Shengting understood immediately. He folded his arms and leaned back, a smile on his face. "Whatever you think I mean, that's what I mean."
"Hey, hey, hey." He Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
Zhu Shengting still smiled, "But I know what you mean."
He Yan snorted twice, "What do I mean."
Zhu Shengting placed his arms on the script, rested his head on it, and looked at He Yan with his eyes wide open.
"From now on, I will discuss everything related to you with you."
"Right?"
When Zhu Shengting said this, there was a cunning look in his eyes that He Yan was familiar with, but maybe it was because of the perspective, He Yan actually felt that Zhu Shengting, who was lying down and looking at him, was a little obedient?
He is definitely crazy. It is obvious that this person has a lot of thoughts.
But it seemed that at this moment, He Yan suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was one year younger than him. This was really - the anti-Tian Gang!
He Yan decided to turn the tables. He raised his hand and patted Zhu Shengting's head twice like he was petting a large dog. Then he said in a calm tone, "Yes, that's what I mean. Be good."
He thought Zhu Shengting would react violently to his action, but unexpectedly, Zhu Shengting did not move at all, except that he did not look at him.
He Yan was about to say something else when the phone rang. He glanced at the caller, stood up puzzled, said hello to Xia Hui, and temporarily left the meeting room.
"Xingyan, why did you call me suddenly? Are you out of money? I told you to buy fewer peripherals and schedule fewer trips—" He Yan was interrupted by the female voice on the other side before he could finish his words.
"Stop! Brother! No, no, I have money to spend, you don't have to worry, it's not because of this." Zhou Xingyan's tone was a little excited on the other end of the phone.
If it’s not this, then it shouldn’t be a big deal, and He Yan felt relieved.
The only hobby of his cousin, who is in the first year of high school, is chasing stars. She is very philanthropic and always goes offline to chase stars and spends a lot of money every time. Although her family is relatively wealthy, she is embarrassed to ask her parents for money often, so she even asked him to borrow money before.
He Yan leaned against the door, "What happened?"
"Brother! Are you working on a drama with Zhu Shengting now?" Zhou Xingyan asked hurriedly.
"Yeah? What's wrong?" He Yan became alert.
"Ahhhhh, it's true! Damn! Why didn't you say so earlier!" Zhou Xingyan was very excited on the other end of the phone.
He Yan still couldn't let go of his worries. "Have you fallen in love with Zhu Shengting recently?"
He Yan's words came true. "Oh, I've been a fan for the past month. He's so handsome! But I'll only like him for a few months, and then I'll probably follow someone else. But bro! Can I find time to take a picture with you and him?"
Zhou Xingyan was praying over there.
"This..." He Yan hesitated.
"Please, brother. I got first place in the class last time. Can I have this reward?" Zhou Xingyan is very good at acting like a spoiled child, and her tone is very pitiful.
Sure enough, when He Yan heard the words "first in the exam", he finally gave in.
"Okay then, I'll arrange for you to come visit the set on a weekend. Remember not to carry your camera, and don't disturb too many people. Be good." He Yan instructed in advance.
"Okay! Thank you, brother! You are my God!" After Zhou Xingyan expressed her gratitude, the two hung up the phone.
He Yan smiled helplessly and shook his head, then turned around, opened the door and prepared to go back into the meeting room.
As soon as he opened the door, Zhu Shengting was standing in front of him.
"Hey? Are you going to the bathroom?" He Yan asked in confusion.
Zhu Shengting looked at He Yan deeply, his expression was cold, and there was no smile in his eyes like ten minutes ago.
"Director Xia asked me to call you. We need to discuss and make some changes to an important plot."
"Oh, okay." He Yan put the phone back in his pocket and walked in.
When he sat back in his seat, he found that Zhu Shengting was half a step behind him. He recalled the other person's expression just now and felt that something was wrong.
Zhu Shengting seems... a little angry?
Why is that? Is it because I just patted his head like a dog? Then why didn't he react just now?
He Yan thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out. When a new round of reading began, he simply stopped thinking about it and let the other party do as he pleased.
*
At 5:30 in the evening, He Yan personally went to Shangcheng Airport to pick up Fengruige to express his sincerity.
When he saw the real person, He Yan's hands were shaking so much that he looked very nervous. Feng Ruige could see that He Yan was very nervous, so he smiled kindly and shook hands with him.
The two then arrived at a famous hotel in the upper city to discuss the creation of the theme song.
"I never thought I could work with you, Teacher Feng. It's such an honor." He Yan was still excited when he mentioned this.
"Kid, do you think this is all thanks to your company?" Although Feng Ruige is old, he looks as energetic as a college student.
He Yan was a little embarrassed, "Isn't it?"
"Hahahaha!" Feng Ruige laughed twice. "I'm not someone who agrees to cooperate so easily, even if you pay me."
"Then..." He Yan didn't dare to guess.
"Every time I receive cooperation information, I will first try to understand the other party's singing skills and voice. I am actually a stubborn person who does my own thing. I will not cooperate with any voice that does not meet my aesthetic standards." Feng Ruige said in a calm tone.
"Son, I heard you sing a few songs before. You have a naturally good voice and your skills are not inferior to those of professional singers. I did some research and didn't expect that your university major was music, and you even studied arrangement and production. How did you become an actor?" Feng Ruige couldn't help but ask, "But you don't have to answer this question."
Fengrui Pavilion was very sensible, but He Yan didn't feel that he couldn't say it.
"Before, I just posted some songs on short video platforms. I have fans but no company to produce professional songs. The music companies that contacted me did not want to make music seriously." When he said this, He Yan sounded helpless.
"Later, Dream Transmission found me, and their top management signed a contract with me. If I could meet their requirements as an actor within a few years, they would open an independent music studio for me, so I came..." He felt a little embarrassed after saying this.
After all, he actually used acting as a springboard for himself.
Feng Ruige was very keen to notice this. "It's okay, kid. You made a smart decision. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. As long as people make decisions to do what they want to do and they don't violate laws or morals, I think they are commendable and brave."
He Yan relaxed after hearing this.
The two of them then discussed the theme song while eating. At the end of the conversation, Feng Ruige suddenly asked He Yan a question.
"Child, are you going to sing this song alone, or with another lead actor?"
He Yan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Fengrui Pavilion to ask this question.
