Chapter 184



The crew of "South Wind Knows My Heart"

Xu Qian couldn't help but sneeze, and Yan Lang, who was next to him, quickly handed him a freshly prepared Banlangen (a traditional Chinese medicine).

"Brother Xu, have a drink."

Xu Qian didn't really like the smell. He sneezed because the second female lead he was acting opposite smelled too strong in perfume. However, since Yan Lang was right in front of him, he decided to just drink it anyway.

After Xu Qian finished taking his medicine, the makeup artist went over to touch up his makeup. She said it was just touching up his hair, but Xu Qian is known for his good looks; he's a new generation's goddess of beauty, and that's no exaggeration.

"Teacher Xu, it's done."

"Thank you." Xu Qian gave the makeup artist a polite smile.

"Oh, no need to thank me..." The makeup artist, who was familiar with all the beauties in the entertainment industry, couldn't help but feel a little excited. Unlike the popular young idols these days, Xu Qian always gave people the impression of being gentle and harmless, as comfortable as a spring breeze, making people genuinely like him.

Soon, it was announced that filming for the next scene would begin.

"Crew, get ready! Extras, come on stage first. Tang Yufei (female lead #3/4), wait a moment. Outdoor scene preparation—"

This scene depicts the first meeting between Jiang Fulin (the second male lead) and his junior, Tang Yufei, at Lincheng University. Jiang Fulin, as an outstanding graduate, appears in the school's auditorium, where a handsome and successful senior is standing, while a naive and innocent junior is below. If we disregard the story itself, the scene in front of the camera can be described as beautiful.

The director's only regret is that Xu Qian didn't participate from the beginning. With him joining halfway through, the first half month of filming was basically wasted. Except for a few important scenes that could be reshot, the rest had to be cut.

The production team was already short on funds, and with the addition of major changes like replacing actors, costs kept increasing. Even if the director wanted to grit his teeth and "waste" money, he didn't have the confidence to do so.

If I had to point out what's special about this drama, it would probably be that Xu Qian gave his first on-screen kiss (using a camera trick). You know, his previous dramas were all male-dominated dramas or he was just a minor character, with hardly any romance. But this is different. "South Wind Knows My Heart" is an urban romance drama!

However, as the story progressed, Xu Qian increasingly felt that Wang Wei had been provoked by a certain scumbag in real life. Jiang Fulin's tactics were exemplary, and it would be difficult to write such a fitting account without experiencing it firsthand.

Of course, it's best to just think these things in your mind.

While filming "South Wind Knows My Heart", Xu Qian also made cameo appearances in two other productions, both of which he took on before the Lunar New Year. One was a modern crime drama where he played a lawyer in the second unit, with only twenty minutes or less of screen time. The other was a documentary about the Great Wei Dynasty, co-produced with Weihai TV, where he played Wei Mingyan, a famous scholar from the Great Wei period, with even less screen time, only a few scenes.

The rest consisted of variety shows and some commercial activities, so my days were quite fulfilling.

Just then, Anda, whom Xu Qian hadn't contacted in a long time, sent him a package containing several jars of wine—the real monkey wine, fruity and slightly sweet.

Xu Qian left two flasks for Xiao Qing, sent one flask to Sheng Huai, and then he and Meng Liangchen shared the rest.

A few days later, Xu Qian received a reply from Sheng Huai, along with a picture he posted on Weibo.

Sheng Huai V:

I received the gift I'd been waiting for!

Xu Qian casually gave him a like, but before he could say anything, he was criticized by his fans because his Weibo account had stopped updating again, and this time for several days. As a result, his private messages were about to explode after he hadn't been online for a few days.

Xu Qian clicked on and read a few posts, all of which were similar in content. Then he looked at his previous Weibo post—or rather, the one Yan Lang posted on his behalf—which was ten days ago and was still an advertisement.

Well… it does seem like it’s been a while, huh? He’s been using a secondary account lately, and he always forgets to switch back to his main account. Xu Qian muttered to himself for a moment, then opened the Weibo window. After thinking for a moment, he took a selfie with his phone, looked down at it, and was quite satisfied. He was still as handsome and dashing as ever.

The Weibo post was updated just a second ago, and a little red dot immediately appeared. The comment had two words: "Number One."

Xu Qian gave her a thumbs up, then put away his phone and continued watching the anime series he hadn't finished watching on I-site. He had been saving them up for almost a month, and this time he could finally watch them all at once.

While the main character was leisurely watching the show, the fan group suddenly became lively.

[Damn, he logged off the moment he posted the update!]

You'll get used to it. (Stay calm)

I felt like I was being given the runaround.

[Come on, at least you got a selfie. What are you guys hoping for?]

[Yes, it's better than lettuce.]

[Hey, you guys have such low standards!]

[Huh? What's the point of pursuing anything? Aren't we just potted plants? (Confused)]

[I wonder when the next individual skill video will be...]

[II. Erhu? (Shocked)]

[I'm going to go watch some old videos now, doing this three times a day~]

[I'm off to the balcony to water the vegetables...]

[What have you all been learning behind my back?!]

Ah, I'm so engrossed in studying.
