After Xie Yang opened the door, he smiled shyly at Man Feidi and said, "Sorry, I was in the bathroom just now."
Man Feidi quickly said it was okay.
Xie Yang invited Man Feidi in, then said wait a moment, went out to call Wu Shui, then came back, picked up the script, looked at Man Feidi, and asked, "Which part should we start with?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, Xie Yang, what do you think of my performance today? Was there anything particularly awkward?"
Xie Yang put the script down again, looked at Man Feidi, and said, "I'm just a newcomer, I can't tell whether it's good or bad."
Man Feidi frowned, looking troubled and thoughtful, and asked again: "Do you feel comfortable acting with me? I feel good acting with you, you learn very quickly."
Xie Yang smiled and said, "Man Feidi, we are colleagues now."
Man Feidi looked puzzled and asked, "What?"
"Colleagues can become friends or enemies. I hate trouble, but I'm not afraid of it. I don't fall for tricks. Senior, can we act together?"
Xie Yang's hint was very subtle, but if someone really had something in mind, they would definitely understand it immediately.
"I See Xuanyuan" is Xie Yang's first drama, and he wants to finish it well and doesn't want to cause trouble for himself. So far, Man Feidi hasn't gone too far, and leaving aside the issue of trying to ride on the popularity, Man Feidi's attitude is generally friendly, so Xie Yang doesn't intend to do anything.
However, not planning on doing anything doesn't mean that he will continue to tolerate some small actions and little thoughts. Regardless of whether Man Feidi simply wanted to take advantage of the popularity or had other plans, since these things had already made Qiu Xing, who was far away in City B, unhappy, everything had to be stopped in time.
After hearing Xie Yang's words, the doubt on Man Feidi's face slowly froze.
There was a knock on the door at the right time.
Xie Yang said wait a moment and got up to open the door. Outside the door was Wu Shui, who was carrying coffee and desserts. Xie Yang let Wu Shui in and asked him to put the things he bought on the small coffee table in front of the sofa. He said to Man Feidi, "Senior, are you avoiding certain foods at night? It's been hard to act together, so you can eat a little."
Wu Shui had consciously sat down on the sofa in the corner, and when he sat down, he intentionally turned his back to the big sofa, but his presence was still strong.
Man Feidi glanced at Wu Shui, then at Jie Yang, pinched the script with his fingers, smiled again, and said, "I'm just hungry, but you've thought it through. How about we eat while we act?"
…
An hour and a half later, Man Feidi left.
Xie Yang first sent a message to Qiu Xing, then went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out, Wu Shui had already cleaned up the garbage on the coffee table and took it away. He sat on the sofa and made a video call to Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing answered the call immediately, and the first thing he did after the call was to look Jie Yang up and down.
Xie Yang asked, "Are you angry?"
Qiu Xing immediately denied it: “No.”
"Your expression doesn't say that. I just warned Manfeidi. If he's smart enough, he won't mess around again."
Qiu Xing still had a sullen face and asked, "What if he's not smart enough?"
Xie Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I can only tell him that I have a big vinegar jar at home, and the vinegar jar doesn't allow me and others to get too close to it, so I warned him to stay away from me."
Qiu Xing's expression changed, and he said, "What jealousy... you have no respect for your parents!"
Xie Yang smiled and looked at Qiu Xing without saying anything.
Qiu Xing glanced at Jie Yang, then glanced again, then suddenly put on a casual look and said, "Do you want to... tell others about your relationship with me?"
"No, I'll just tell others that there's someone else in my family. After all, you once said that you would never make our relationship public. I respect your thoughts."
Qiu Xing's expression was almost distorted. The words "there is someone at home" made him happy, but the words "definitely not made public" that followed choked him.
He held it in for a long time and said, "When did you become so obedient!"
"You want me to disobey?"
Qiu Xing changed his posture and said, "Sometimes... you don't have to be so obedient."
Xie Yang suppressed his laughter and nodded, "I understand, so can I stay up late?"
"..." Qiu Xing glared at Jie Yang, "How dare you!"
Xie Yang laughed.
Qiu Xing's expression kept changing because of the laughter, and suddenly he reached out and covered the camera over there.
"Behave yourself! When you're done with this... stop laughing!"
Xie Yang suppressed his laughter, tapped the black screen, and said, "I won't laugh anymore."
Qiu Xing then moved his hand away and looked at Jie Yang with the corner of his eye. Then he raised his hand and tapped the screen of his phone lightly, as if he was tapping Jie Yang's head, and snorted, "Not honest."
…
The next day, Qin Cheng found Xie Yang again when he was about to go out early in the morning. Qin Cheng frowned and said, "Someone leaked the filming information on the set."
Xie Yang stopped and asked, "What's going on?"
On the way to the set, Xie Yang took out his cell phone at Qin Cheng's prompt and flipped to the explosive news that Qin Cheng mentioned. The news was released by a marketing account with a very eye-catching title, which read "Xie Yang's first film experience, NG nine times exhausted his partner."
Under the title, the marketing account used text to describe in detail the running-in process between Wen Yao and Jie Yang when they were filming their first scene the day before yesterday. During the process, all the NG retakes caused by Wen Yao's mistakes were transferred to Jie Yang.
There are two pictures below the news. Judging from the shooting angles of the pictures, these two pictures should have been taken secretly from a long distance. In the first picture, Zhou Huairen made a "cut" gesture to the people on the set. In the second picture, Xie Yang was called by Zhou Huairen and stood up and walked towards Zhou Huairen.
There are already more than 2,000 comments under this news, and the top three are all about sympathy for Wen Yao and lamenting that Jie Yang’s acting skills are really not good. The marketing account that broke the news was also making a fuss about Wen Yao. Poor Wen Yao, it's her first time playing the leading lady in a big movie, and she has to act with such a popular star. People are worried that her first big movie will be ruined by the traffic.
If the news only questioned Jie Yang's acting skills, then it would be fine and you can completely ignore it. After all, which actor has not been criticized for his acting skills? If you ignore all of them, you will never be able to finish them all. These are all necessary processes. However, the signals represented by the on-set shooting details and candid photos mentioned in this news are indeed not good, and this news also has a provocative flavor of wanting to incite Wen Yao's fans to tear down Jie Yang.
It would be a terrible thing for any movie that is being made to have details of the filming on the set leaked. For any new actor, it is not good to bear the reputation of being a burden to their predecessors and the crew. If they are labeled as a movie poison, it will become much more difficult to get roles in the future.
Qin Cheng analyzed: "That day was the first day of filming, and the opening ceremony was held in the morning. It is possible that someone was left out during the clearing of the set, which led to the candid photo. But we cannot rule out the possibility that someone inside the crew leaked the information. If the candid photo situation is not quickly curbed, it will affect everyone's mood for filming."
Xie Yang put down his phone and said, "Let's see how Director Zhou handles it first."
A few minutes later, the two arrived on the set.
The atmosphere on the set was not very good. Director Zhou and several assistant directors sat together with their heads down, discussing something, while the staff moved quietly in preparation for the start of filming.
Xie Yang was the first actor to arrive. After Zhou Huairen noticed Xie Yang, he stopped talking and waved to him. Xie Yang walked over.
Zhou Huairen asked: "Have you seen the news?"
Xie Yang nodded.
Zhou Huairen frowned and said, "I will definitely give you an explanation about this matter. Let's stop working for a while and talk it over. We can't let the secret filming happen again."
Xie Yang nodded again, then sat aside tactfully.
Half an hour later, most of the actors arrived on the set. Zhou Huairen gathered everyone together for a meeting in a small flower hall in Su's house. During the meeting, he had all the doors of the hall closed and had people guard outside.
Man Feidi sat down next to Jie Yang and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Xie Yang found that Man Feidi's attitude was much more normal than yesterday. He was no longer so overly enthusiastic and pretending to be close. He realized that Man Feidi had taken his warning yesterday to heart and replied, "Director Zhou will tell you."
After Zhou Huairen made sure everyone was present, he glanced at everyone and asked, "Have you seen the news? If you haven't seen it, start watching it now."
Those who had already watched the news remained silent, while those who had not watched the news began to whisper to each other in confusion. Xie Yang noticed that Wen Yao's expression turned ugly after talking to Gao Xuanhang for a while, so he took out his cell phone and started looking at it.
More than ten minutes later, Zhou Huairen saw that everyone was gradually quieting down, so he cleared his throat and said, "If it was taken secretly by the outside media, then that's my fault. I blame myself for not managing the crew well. If someone wants to do something tricky, then I can only say that you have found the wrong place. Since the filming has only been done for two days, the loss won't be too great. Let's investigate this matter carefully. If there is really a problem, whoever made the mistake will be fired. There will be no leniency!"
Everyone fell silent.
Afterwards, Zhou Huairen gave everyone a few more words of admonition, gave them some sweet treats, and then asked most of the group to disperse, leaving only Li Yang and Wen Yao.
After the room quieted down, Zhou Huairen relaxed his expression and said to Wen Yao, "Post a Weibo later to help Jie Yang explain. You are a senior, and you can't let the newcomer take the blame. Let's talk based on the facts, understand?"
Wen Yao nodded.
Zhou Huairen looked at Jie Yang again and said, "This time it's obvious that the media is trying to stir up trouble. You and Wen Yao are both victims. Don't think too much about it. Just focus on filming. Polishing out the drama is better than any explanation."
Xie Yang also nodded.
"That's it for now. I'll organize the crew in the morning. Go and think about the script. The shooting progress in the past two days was not ideal. Let's try to get into the state as soon as possible."
Xie Yang nodded again and left. After taking two steps, he found that Wen Yao didn't move. He stopped, pretended not to notice, and walked out of the hall alone.
About half an hour later, Wen Yao and Zhou Huairen came out of the flower hall together. Zhou Huairen's expression was much more serious than before, and Wen Yao also had a frown on her face. Finally, the two of them went to the director's studio together.
More than an hour later, Wen Yao came out of the director's room alone. She went to find her agent first, and after her agent left, she lowered her head, took out her cell phone, fiddled with it for a while, and then walked straight towards Jie Yang.
Xie Yang put down the script, looked at Wen Yao who had stopped in front of him, and asked, "Senior, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"I have already posted a clarification on Weibo."
Xie Yang said: "Sorry for the trouble, senior."
Wen Yao was silent, and suddenly asked: "Can I sit down?"
Xie Yang took the initiative to find a stool for Wen Yao.
The two sat down side by side. After a long silence, Wen Yao spoke up, "After the first day of filming, I found that what you said was a little different from what Mu Zhouyi said, so I talked to her and wanted to ask her what was going on. During the conversation, I mentioned to her the details of the filming with you."
Xie Yang didn't respond.
"I confessed this to Director Zhou. It was wrong of me to tell people outside the crew about the shooting details."
Xie Yang said: "That news may not have been posted by Mu Zhouyi. You only told her the details, but didn't secretly take any photos for her."
"I know, but it's just a coincidence." Wen Yao looked at Jie Yang and asked, "She told me that you were targeting her, stealing her resources, breaking up her and her boyfriend, and deliberately defaming her. Is that true?"
It's quite comprehensive. It seems that Mu Zhouyi is not so stupid that she is almost confused, but she still doesn't know who is trying to trick her behind the scenes.
Xie Yang smiled and said, "I really don't like her. If what she meant by snatching resources was that I took back the resources she got from Fang Chengnan by selling my personal privacy and gave them to Ke Lan, then I did it. As for breaking up her and her boyfriend, I just advised her family not to fall in love with an octopus monster that casts a wide net. Is there a problem with that? And what about smearing? What does she mean?"
Wen Yao frowned and asked, "She betrayed your personal privacy?"
Xie Yang asked back: "Have you heard the rumor that I'm being kept?"
Wen Yao has heard that Jie Yang is being kept by someone. She pursed her lips and asked, "So the fact that you were kept by someone... was fake?"
"What do you think?"
Wen Yao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead heavily, then stood up and said, "I understand...Jie Yang, I'm sorry."
Jie Yang watched Wen Yao leave, then lowered his head, took out his cell phone, opened Weibo, searched for Wen Yao's homepage, and saw that Wen Yao had posted a Weibo with a moving picture more than ten minutes ago.
Wen Yao: The reason for the NG is my fault. That scene involved beating someone, and I couldn’t control the strength well, so I had to shoot it over and over again. During the game, Jie Yang was very considerate and let me play for real. I thank him for his tolerance and cooperation. Xie Yang is very dedicated and excellent. Please stop making malicious speculations and spreading rumors.
The accompanying animated picture is a behind-the-scenes animated picture of Zhou Huairen teaching Wen Yao how to hit someone.
