Let's talk about my couple.
"The CP that I ship is... well... the one who sings well and the one who sings and acts well. When I first started shipping them, I was shocked that they were so close, since their status and personalities didn't seem to match. But recently they've been constantly showing affection, not even trying to hide it. So I've decided to share their daily CP life in a serious way."
"Decoded in seconds, gotta wait."
"Decoding in seconds +1. By the way, neither of them are actually the kind of celebrities who like to show off their daily lives. Their Weibo updates are ridiculously slow. We only find out about them by chance encounters with strangers."
"Thank you to all the passersby."
"Are you the two from the Bird Feather Group and Color Group who recently went to Disneyland? They're so real! Actually, they don't mention each other much in interviews or on Weibo, as if they don't want to expose their private lives to the public. But you know what? That's what makes them so adorable!"
"Bird feathers and colorful patterns, the code upstairs is outrageously ugly, how can I ever look at my idol the same way again?"
"+1+1+1, I, the +1 robot, am counting on this building today."
"These are photos from Disneyland. I have to say, even in blurry photos taken by passersby, Professor Ji still looks so outstanding! What excites me the most recently is actually this set of photos—at the Chang Kong Awards ceremony, a fan captured them making a pinky promise!"
"I haven't seen this set before, I'm saving it!!"
"My God, the way Teacher Ji and Teacher Ning look at each other, is this something I can see for free?"
"Teacher Ji hasn't been in the industry for long, and I feel he has a very straightforward personality. Teacher Ning hasn't appeared in public for a very long time, so he must also have a very straightforward personality?"
"Da Ning is not good at socializing, but in the entertainment industry, people with this trait are generally very straightforward."
"This is a typical day of strolling around town, a typical day of eating hot pot. The two aren't in the same frame, but I really like this one. It's a picture of Da Ning walking his cat. Da Ning holding the cat gives off a very gentle feeling. I really want to be his cat..."
"Want to be a cat +1".
The original poster started the thread simply to share their feelings about shipping Ning Wei and Ji Yan, but unexpectedly, the thread attracted many like-minded people. Not only did the original poster post pictures of Ning Wei and Ji Yan together, but netizens on each floor also added their own, and the thread grew taller and taller, quickly becoming a hot post on the forum.
"As a fan of the color group, this is the first time I've seen so much of Da Ning's daily life since I got into the fandom! It feels like a god I've always looked up to has suddenly become a mortal. All I can say is, Mwah Mwah!"
"Modo Modo!"
"These two are so cute!"
...
Ji Yan and Ning Wei each bought a bunch of souvenirs to take home. Ji Yan picked out almost all rabbit dolls and keychains. He hung one of them on his keychain and then showed it off to Ning Wei.
Ning Wei: "...Next time, let's go to an amusement park with pandas."
"A zoo would also be fine."
However, Ji Yan has indeed been busy lately, with his schedule for the second half of the year quite full.
Filming for "The Vanishing Murder" is about to begin. "Yi" also has some business activities to attend, as well as Ji Yan's personal tasks, mainly official events in the film industry.
In addition, since the release of the album "Crow", the members of "Wings" have been even busier.
"You really have no interest?" Ji Yan asked again to confirm.
"No." Fang Yu shook his head. "Teacher Ji, you should leave now."
In "The Vanishing Murder," there is a character who happens to be an idol, and his role is quite substantial. After getting the script, Ji Yan asked Xie Mingxuan and the others if they were interested, but unfortunately, none of them wanted to act in it.
The filming location for "The Vanishing Murder" was the film and television base in City A. Compared to the scenes of hunger and cold when filming "Young Love Poems", the conditions at the film and television base in City A were so good that they made him cry.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" He Qing retorted.
“Brother He, that’s because you went to eat sand right after filming. You’ve been struggling through hardship.”
"Thank you so much." He Qing patted Ji Yan's back lightly. "Ji Yan, you've been in the news again these past few days. I've been scrolling through Weibo lately, and even if you're not in the headlines, your name is always on the trending topics list."
He Qing had paid special attention to Ji Yan's rejection of the male lead role in Luo Yi's new film. His first reaction was that Ji Yan was really amazing. It's no exaggeration to say that any newcomer other than Ji Yan would not have been able to refuse Luo Yi's invitation. Moreover, Luo Yi's film was clearly aiming to break the annual box office record. The director himself had strong storytelling ability, and it was a science fiction film, a relatively rare genre in domestic films.
For young actors, starring in Luo Yi's movies means two words—ascension.
Luo Yi is younger than directors of Zhu Shuguang and Li Xiang's generation, and is a representative of the current backbone of the film industry. Among current directors, Luo Yi's box office and reputation are definitely top-notch.
Luo Yi did not become famous with the film "One Me". Before "One Me", he had directed many excellent works. In fact, it can be said that Luo Yi has never had a bad film in his directing career.
Ji Yan's rejection of the other party could even be described as willful in He Qing's opinion.
Of course, to some extent, Ji Yan does have the right to be willful.
He Qing has worked with many actors. No matter how nonchalant the actors portray themselves in their marketing, marketing is marketing. In the entertainment industry, nonchalantness is usually just a persona.
But Ji Yan is different. As an actor, he is definitely hardworking and dedicated when filming, but he is quite indifferent to marketing. He Qing thinks he is the kind of person who enjoys the process but doesn't care about the result, so he acts more casually than others and is naturally more indifferent in attitude.
He Qing's decision to take on "The Vanishing Murder" was largely due to his collaboration with Ji Yan.
...
After joining the crew, Ji Yan met with director Lu Ming and screenwriter Fan Cong. "The Vanished Murder" is an ensemble film, a suspense film in the style of a locked-room mystery. Ji Yan plays the programmer Cheng Yuan, and plaid shirts and black-rimmed glasses are the standard attire for this character.
Each character in the script has a unique personality. In the character of Cheng Yuan, the first thing to be highlighted is his slowness. This is the impression the character gives to the audience when he first appears. As the plot progresses, the character will gradually become sharper.
He Qing plays a carefree, nouveau riche man, adorned with luxury cars and watches, his belt buckled with a striking gold-plated "H".
Also starring alongside them are Yu Qian, who plays a piano teacher, and Song Jing, who plays a doctor. Yu Qian is an actress with many years of experience, but she has never had a notable representative role and has always been in a lukewarm state in the industry. Song Jing is Lu Ming's classmate at Beijing Film Academy and is currently a newcomer struggling in the entertainment industry.
Yang Le, who plays an idol, has a similar background to Song Jing.
It's no exaggeration to say that Ji Yan and He Qing are the two most well-known actors in the cast of "The Vanished Murderer". Considering the director and screenwriter, the cast of this movie is even weaker than that of "Young Love Poems".
The entire production team thought Ji Yan had gone mad by choosing "The Vanishing Murder" over "Alien Invasion," including Lu Ming and Fan Cong.
...
The story of "The Vanishing Murder" begins at a cocktail party.
Idol Qin Yuan, doctor Tang Shi, and piano teacher Cen Xuzhi are invited to a cocktail party. The sender writes in the letter that Xue Song, a wealthy man in the city, is willing to sponsor them with film and television resources, medical facilities, and a grand music concert.
Xue Song is naturally played by He Qing, while Ji Yan plays Cheng Yuan, a technician recruited by Xue Song who always follows behind him timidly.
The crew prepared for a day or two, and then filming officially began.
For this role, Ji Yan cut his hair very short, changed into a plaid shirt and black-rimmed glasses. Compared to the other actors who exuded the air of social elites, he looked like a college graduate who had just graduated.
The makeup was specially applied to modify Ji Yan's face shape, making him look more ordinary.
Yang Le and Song Jing looked at the description in the script and were speechless.
In the script, idol Qin Yuan and doctor Tang Shi are both handsome, but programmer Cheng Yuan's appearance is the least eye-catching.
Even someone like Ji Yan could only... go unnoticed.
That's... really over the top.
They had never met Ji Yan in person before, and upon meeting him, they realized that the online reports were not exaggerated at all; Ji Yan was even more handsome in person than on camera.
After joining the crew, Ji Yan didn't talk much, but other actors noticed that he would read the script and take notes whenever he had time. He communicated the most with Lu Ming and Fan Cong on set.
Ji Yan wrote a detailed biography for the character Cheng Yuan because the characters he had played before, whether it was He Tang or Gu Shan, were all characters with only one layer of personality. Cheng Yuan is different; this character has multiple layers, and he needed to figure out how to show the changes in the character's personality.
"Brother He, has Ji Yan always been like this?" Yang Le asked, somewhat surprised. "Was he like this even when filming 'Young Love Poems'?"
He Qing nodded.
Yang Le's eyes widened even more.
"The Vanishing Murder" can be considered a team-building event for graduates of Beijing Film Academy. Among the main characters, all except Ji Yan are graduates of Beijing Film Academy. Yang Le and Song Jing are from the same period, but Song Jing is more famous and signed with a larger agency.
That's really exaggerated.
The advantage of being a graduate of Beijing Film Academy is that you can find your classmates in almost every film crew. Even if they are not famous now, they may become famous one day. Yang Le has met many actors from Beijing Film Academy, and several of them have made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry. Some of his classmates have become popular young actors and actresses. However, when Yang Le works with them, he rarely sees them being so serious.
No wonder Ji Yan was nominated for the Sky Award. He was nominated for both Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor, leaving other male actors of the same age far behind.
Although he was ridiculed for refusing Luo Yi this time, at least he got Luo Yi to take the initiative to send him a resume and invite him to join. What about others? Even if they tried to get in touch with Luo Yi and sent him their resumes, he probably wouldn't even glance at them.
The actor who took on the role in "Alien Invasion" is Qiao Yunyang, a promising new star among the new generation. Only someone at his level would be given a second glance by Luo Yi.
This is a disheartening reality for other young actors.
But reality is reality.
