Chapter 19:
Ji Qingzhou took his coat as Chu Cheng asked, and filled his thermos with hot water before leaving the house. The nights in the north were always a little cold, so Ji Qingzhou put on his coat as soon as he left the hotel.
Qian sighed, "Brother Ji, you are really thoughtful. I didn't think of bringing a coat. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been freezing."
Ji Qingzhou himself actually didn't expect this. He smiled and said, "Someone reminded me, too."
"Who is it, Brother Zhou?"
Although Zhou Chengfeng had left temporarily, he still remembered that he was Ji Qingzhou's agent, and would still remind Ji Qingzhou and Qian of some things through WeChat and phone calls.
Ji Qingzhou shook his head.
"Who is that?" Qian was puzzled. "A family member?"
Ji Qingzhou thought about it and felt that the relationship between him and Chu Cheng was really hard to define, so he did not answer the question, but just said, "Let's go."
It was almost 1 o'clock when Chu Cheng returned home. He sent a WeChat message to Ji Qingzhou, and Ji Qingzhou replied: Go to bed early.
Chu Cheng was a little surprised, "How can you still reply to my WeChat? Shouldn't you be filming?"
"Waiting for the show." Ji Qingzhou replied, "It's not my turn yet."
"What time can we start filming?" Chu Cheng felt that this was the bad thing about filming; the work and rest schedule was not regular at all.
Ji Qingzhou was not sure either. He was just following the director's arrangements. The director told him to wait, so he could only wait.
"It's okay, you go to sleep first, I should be here soon." He comforted Chu Cheng.
Chu Cheng felt inexplicably unhappy when he thought about having to wait for the show so late at night, "Does the male lead have to wait too?"
"Of course the male lead won't wait," Ji Qingzhou replied, "Filming always follows the male lead's schedule first. Only unknown supporting actors like us need to wait for our scenes." He explained to Chu Cheng, "When we wait for our scenes, we wait for the main lead to finish filming before it's our turn. Otherwise, would you let the main lead film at one or two in the morning? Of course not."
Chu Cheng felt that this seemed to be the truth, but he was not familiar with these protagonists, so he only cared about his own children. "It's okay, you can shoot first. After you finish shooting this drama, Dad will choose an IP for you and let you be the protagonist. Then you will go to bed on time at 10 o'clock every night and get up at 9 o'clock in the morning to shoot. Have a good rest."
Ji Qingzhou: ??? !!!
"No, there's no need for that." He felt that his financial sponsor was a little too generous.
Chu Cheng felt it was necessary, "You are mine, I have never asked you to wait, why should you wait for them, it's late at night, don't you need to rest?"
"It's like this for all actors, don't worry, Dad."
"Anyway, I've already decided on this. Otherwise, when we all get together, other people's children will have their fathers invest in the leading roles, but you don't. You, then I won't be embarrassed."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
"Dad, don't you think that you are too competitive? The teacher taught us that we should not be too vain and should not follow the crowd. What other children have, I...?"
"You must have more!" Chu Cheng interrupted him, "My son must be the brightest one in the crowd!"
Ji Qingzhou felt that he might not be able to be his father's son any more.
“I still think it’s too expensive.”
"Dad has money."
But I don’t have any money! Ji Qingzhou was a little worried. Parents should not spoil their children too much. With so much money, he felt the love of the sponsor, but also the pressure on his shoulders. For the first time, Ji Qingzhou felt that he was quite valuable. He didn’t need to be with Chu Cheng for a lifetime, but only for one year. Chu Cheng was willing to spend so much money on him, which made him feel that he was as valuable as the land in the city - every inch of land was worth a lot of money.
"Dad, you should go to bed first. You have to go to work and make money tomorrow." Ji Qingzhou reminded him.
Chu Cheng was not in a hurry. "I'll chat with you for a while. It's my company anyway. It doesn't matter if I'm a few hours late."
Ji Qingzhou felt warm at heart when he heard this, but he still didn't want to delay him. "It's too late." He said softly, "You go to bed first."
"It's okay." Chu Cheng was very persistent.
When Ji Qingzhou heard these two words, his heart softened. The tenderness that Chu Cheng unintentionally revealed was like hot water, flowing along his veins and slowly warming his heart.
When Ji Qingzhou finally went to film, it was already 1:30 in the morning, and he finished filming at 2:00. He had to film another scene at 7:00 in the morning. Qian felt that this arrangement was a bit unreasonable. The main reason was that the third female lead didn't have such loose scenes, even though they were both supporting roles. Ji Qingzhou's scenes with the male and female protagonists were arranged in a more reasonable time because he took advantage of them. His other scenes were arranged sporadically. Some scenes could have been filmed together, but they were still separated.
After all, he had been led by Zhou Chengfeng for several months, and was more sensitive than Ji Qingzhou in some aspects. So later, he took a photo of Ji Qingzhou's schedule and gave it to Zhou Chengfeng, asking him, "Brother Zhou, is this time okay?"
Chu Cheng arrived the next afternoon. He asked his assistant to book a hotel nearby for him. He called Ji Qingzhou and waited for him to finish his filming.
Ji Qingzhou was still waiting for the show and couldn't leave for the time being. He didn't want Chu Cheng to wait for him outside, so he asked Qian to pick him up.
Chu Cheng followed Qian all the way to the crew's shooting location, and saw Ji Qingzhou sitting on a chair with a script in his hand, looking at his mobile phone while reading the script.
He walked over and snapped his fingers in front of Ji Qingzhou. Ji Qingzhou turned around, stood up and looked at him in surprise. Chu Cheng looked at the undisguised joy in his eyes and wanted to hug him, but he was worried that if he really hugged him in public, rumors would probably spread.
