Chapter 12



Even without an assistant, Yan Yongwang had a good time on the set.

On the first day, Xu Boling brought him a small stool and water, and on the second day he brought his own tools that were similar to the ones used by the actors on the set.

When he takes a break, he usually leans under the shade of a tree, and most of the time he looks at his phone.

When filming, even if he kept his phone with him, it was always in silent mode, causing him to miss a lot of messages.

Every time he took a break on the set and unlocked his phone, he would be bombarded with dozens of messages about work and life.

There was news about Chen He - most of them were about his recent vacation status, asking from time to time if he had eaten and drank well, and asking indirectly about which city and hotel he was in, but Yan Yongwang had no intention of telling him.

There were also some messages from friends - asking him if he was free recently and whether he wanted to go out for a drink, horseback riding or golf.

He responded one by one and politely declined.

Let’s get back to acting.

Yan Yongwang is not really gifted in acting, but it is only because this role was chosen well and matched his temperament that Wang Chi gave him a satisfactory comment: "He acted well."

Hua Rongying is the elder sister of the protagonist Ding Xuance in the novel "The Ruthless Way". Like many of his fellow disciples, he was dazzled by Hua Rongying's beauty at first sight. In the million-word novel, he also had a crush on Hua Rongying, but later gave up because of Hua Rongying's rejection. However, in the script, this part was deleted, leaving only the emotional drama between Ding Xuance and the heroine Lin Linyue, and Ding Xuance's feelings for the elder sister were changed to "stunning at first sight, and then admiration and respect".

Hua Rongying is the leader among the young generation of cultivators in Qihua Immortal Sect. She is gifted and beautiful. She does not practice esoteric arts, but has learned sword since she was young, and is a disciple of the head of Qihua Immortal Sect.

Whether in the novel or the script, she is one of the representative characters that embodies the theme of the title "The Ruthless Way".

Someone who has no understanding of love and has never had an intimate relationship.

She had no choice but to live forever, and never thought about what else she could do besides practicing Taoism and swordsmanship.

In the novel, Lin Linyue had been jealous of her. As the daughter of the King of Medicine Valley, she was naturally beautiful and talented in alchemy. She was loved by all the fellow disciples in the valley. After meeting Ding Xuance, this delicate girl's love was all focused on this boy of ordinary background.

At that time, Ding Xuance had just been rejected by Hua Rongying. Although he felt disappointed, he was the protagonist of a career path after all. After being rejected, he still diligently practiced the mysterious arts in the hope of winning the first place in the Immortal Gate Conference in the near future.

Lin Linyue secretly met Hua Rongying once - she wanted to see what kind of person her love rival was. At a glance, she was driven back by Hua Rongying's coldness. The spoiled girl stared blankly at the goddess who was walking towards her with a sword, and her nose suddenly turned red.

The girl trembled and said timidly in a low voice: "You, you, I just came to see you, I didn't mean to do anything bad..."

She was frightened by Hua Rongying's cold eyes and pouted as if she was about to cry.

Then the next moment, Hua Rongying lifted the end of her hair with the tip of the sword.

With a light touch, something fell off the end of her hair. Hua Rongying looked at her and said in a voice as cold as frost: "There is a weed hanging on the end of your hair."

Lin Linyue: “…………” She felt so embarrassed for a moment, and felt that she was so mean that he actually thought that she was holding a sword to hurt her.

Hua Rongying continued: "What did you say you were here for?"

Lin Linyue's face turned red, and she didn't utter a word in the end. She felt ashamed of herself in the clear and cold gaze of her husband, and finally chose to flee.

From that time on, she never dared to see Hua Rongying alone again.

Lin Linyue in the novel was initially the doted daughter of King Gu, and later grew up with Ding Xuance and a group of supporting characters on adventures, and eventually became a gentle, independent-minded girl who would not cry easily or get a red nose from being scared.

A million words are enough to describe a fascinating world of cultivation.

Hua Rongying had a heart as hard as iron from the beginning to the end. No matter how many cultivators pursued her, her template for rejection was always: "Thank you, I don't like you."

This was the case when she rejected Ding Xuance, when she rejected her direct senior brother, and when she rejected the ancestor of the Hehuan Sect who was several generations older than her and who was intoxicated when he caught a glimpse of her beautiful face on the day he came out of seclusion.

Readers all say that Hua Rongying is not practicing the way of the sword, but the way of ruthlessness.

The author Xianyuan did not refute this comment. She gave a small spoiler in the "Author's Comments" of a certain chapter - at that time, Baiwan had only written a few hundred thousand words, and the annual update volume was not large. In order to avoid readers wailing under the article, she would selectively spoil some of the subsequent developments.

The author Xianyuan said: In this book, she is not the only one practicing the ruthless way.

The subsequent development of the novel is just as the author said. The reason why the novel is called "The Way of Ruthlessness" is because there is a very key character in the text who practices this way.

It is not the affectionate, healthy and bright protagonist Ding Xuance, nor is it Lin Linyue who has a girlish heart and was spoiled when she grew up, nor is it even the male and female supporting roles who accompany the protagonist on his adventure and upgrade - they all practice the way of affection, and their interactions with relatives, friends and lovers are like a pot of wine in the world, which makes them hot and refreshing when they drink it, and the wine often stays in their stomach, making them slightly tipsy and beautiful.

In the middle half of the novel, a villain appears, and that person also practices the path of ruthlessness.

==

Yan Yongwang has not finished reading the novel "The Ruthless Way" because his schedule is too tight and it is difficult for him to pick a suitable time to read the entire book.

But he would take advantage of his break time to read a few chapters.

The current progress is to see Ding Xuance die in a car accident, travel to the world of cultivation and become a small farmer in the mud, and then by coincidence, he is accepted into the immortal sect.

He actually reads very quickly, but this novel is of unique significance, so he is used to reading it word by word, not wanting to miss even a single detail.

Yan Yong fantasized that there must be some information his mother wanted to leave behind in this book.

Even if there was no such thing, even if this novel was just something that Ms. Shi Xianyuan wanted to write when she had nothing to do, he still wanted to understand why his mother wrote this novel in secret - she never even told her family, no, it should be said, she never told him.

Thinking of this, he fell silent again.

Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. The Yan and Shi families are not prosperous. They are both the only sons and daughters of their parents. After their marriage, several elders died early. Now, Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan have passed away in a plane crash. It can be said that he is the only child left in the Yan and Shi families.

The parents had a deep affection for each other and they had hardly ever quarreled. Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan both had good tempers and were a beautiful couple who loved to smile in public.

They always seem to have endless things to talk about when they are together, and the atmosphere at home is always sweet and happy.

When he was a child, Yan Yongwang thought his home was the happiest home - his father was a good father, his mother was a good mother, and he liked them.

After he was ten years old, an accident cast a shadow over their family.

The parents suddenly found themselves in the situation of new parents: they had experience in raising boys, but who could tell them how to raise a boy who would become a girl?

Shi Xianyuan found the style of a mother with a baby girl in a few months: she learned to look at the dressing style of little girls and understand the mental health education of girls of all ages, hoping to teach Yan Yongwang better. She even secretly talked to him when he was thirteen years old and told him how to deal with girls' menstruation (fortunately, Yan Yongwang never had a menstruation).

Yan Chi was afraid that he would suffer from gender identity disorder, and was thinking about taking a psychologist certification exam.

Yan Yongwang became the one who accepted the best among the three members of the family.

Or maybe it's because he always looks serious. The little boy loves to be serious, with a stern face and pursed lips. Even when faced with wind and waves, he still looks fearless.

It was also from that time that his parents made a lot of plans for his female identity.

They get an ID card for "Chao Juan" and deposit money into the account of this identity regularly every year. Even after the plane crash, there is a place for Chao Juan in their wills.

There are many trust funds under the names of his parents, and among them, one was set up specifically for Chao Juan.

High dividends are deposited into the account every year.

Even a copy of his academic record was made for Chao Juan, covering his entire life from elementary school to university. His resume was clear. Even if the relevant departments wanted to check, it would be authentic and reliable and no problems would be found.

These are all things that Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan did for Yan Yongwang, and they never hid anything from Yan Yongwang when they did these things.

In other words, there was basically nothing hidden from him at home.

But Yan Yongwang had never heard that his mother, a strong woman with courage in the business world, would actually write a cultivation novel that has a large readership, high evaluations, and high IP value.

They even specifically asked Wang Chi to be the director.

To hide one's real name to such an extent, one must have money and power to back him up.

From this, it can be inferred that the author Xianyuan is most likely his mother, Ms. Shi Xianyuan.

He didn't understand why she wrote this novel.

Because he didn't understand, Yan Yongwang wanted to figure it out.

He came to the crew, got close to Wang Chi, and read the script himself, trying to find the familiar shadow in these details.

The shadows of the trees are bright and the spots of light are sparkling.

Yan Yongwang sat under the shade of a tree, looking at his phone with a blank face. He had just finished reading a chapter of a novel and clicked. The website deducted the fee and the process was buffering.

Today, his scenes have been filmed, and now he is filming the intimate scenes between Ding Xuance and Lin Linyue. He casually looked up at the scene, Chen Haohan was smiling brightly, and Xu Bailing was shy and timid, looking like a couple in love.

He retracted his gaze and continued reading the novel.

He finished his work for the day and should have gone back to the hotel to rest, but Wang Chi said he wanted to have a party tonight.

——The investor Young Master Cheng is coming, so there will be a few more people at the dinner this time. In addition to the male and female protagonists and Yan Yongwang himself, there are also several supporting characters.

There are several familiar faces among the supporting roles, but Yan Yongwang did not have too much contact with them, mainly because his roles were mostly related to the male and female protagonists, and the rest were independent scenes of his own.

It is human nature to be unfamiliar with them.

6pm.

The last scene is over.

Wang Chi called for the end of the show, and the main actors went to the dressing room to remove their makeup and clothes. Yan Yongwang went to the dressing room to remove the makeup on his face when his part was finished.

He originally wanted to take off the jade crown on his head himself - but he really didn't know much about this kind of thing, and not only was he not skilled in the technique, he almost pulled out a clump of his hair.

The staff member in charge of makeup and hair was away for some reason, so he could only wait until the entire crew had gotten off work and then see if there was any staff in the dressing room to help him remove the hair crown.

There are four dressing rooms in a row in the corridor, with the leading actors Chen Haohan and Xu Bailing each having one, and the other two are for less famous supporting actors.

Yan Yongwang was putting on makeup in the room next to Xu Bailing's dressing room yesterday, and he went there too this time.

Just as I walked to the door, I heard a female voice through the crack of the door: "How did Chao Juan get into the group? As soon as he joined the group, he got the script for the third female role?"

"I guess it's that kind of relationship... I heard that she had dinner with the CEO of Weicheng the night before yesterday."

"Boss Wei Cheng is Chen Haohan's boss?" The woman looked surprised and thought, "I heard that Boss Wei Cheng also invested in our crew?"

"You are a little out of touch with the news. Isn't CEO Wei Cheng a family man? This project is a family project. In other words, CEO Wei Cheng is not only the boss of the actors, but also the financial sponsor of this crew."

"No wonder she was able to join the group... Look at her, she is very proud and looks pure and innocent. She is really a stunning beauty. Who wouldn't praise her acting skills after seeing her?"

"Who knows, maybe he's been having a lot of fun on other people's beds..."

The gossip, which contained derogatory and sarcastic content, entered Yan Yongwang's ears.

He blinked his eyelashes slowly, slowly.

Then, he suddenly laughed.

"What are you talking about?"
