Chapter 36 Happy Birthday
"Xiaoyan? Get up."
Originally, I just wanted to take a short rest, but as soon as I closed my eyes and smelled the faint fragrance on Yu Xiangwen's collar, my consciousness ran away from home.
"Hmm..." Yin Yan woke up in a daze and noticed that the surroundings were too quiet, as if everyone had left and only he and Yu Xiangwen, who he was leaning against, were left.
Yawning, Yin Yan sat up and took off the eye patch.
Um?
Why is it still dark in front of me?
Subconsciously, he looked at the person beside him, and when he looked up, he could vaguely see a pair of slightly curved eyes. There was a very light object on the top of his head, and when Yin Yan raised his hand to touch it, a trembling light flickered and illuminated the gentle eyes of the person in front of him.
The candlelight reflected in the black eyes. Yin Yan was stunned for a moment and touched the headband on his head. He turned around and saw Xiao Wu holding a lighter, and other staff members sitting around him, looking at him with smiles.
The picture is a bit weird and a bit funny.
Yin Yan was still in a daze, and the person next to him sang softly: "Happy birthday to you..."
"Happy birthday to you……"
Everyone clapped their hands and sang along with Yu Xiangwen, and the scene in front of them suddenly became vivid again.
Even the director was sitting behind the crowd and laughing.
In front of Yin Yan lies a small three-layer fondant cake. The warm candlelight illuminates the little figures placed on the cake. They are each of the roles he has played since his debut. He has put a lot of effort into making each of the characters, and their features are distinct, so you can tell who is who at a glance.
Liang Yusheng, Xia Yu...Lin Wu was also there.
"Happy 24th birthday to Teacher Yin!"
After the birthday song was finished, the lights in the bar were turned on, and Yin Yan could see clearly that there were colorful balloons floating around, with small cards tied to the ends of the balloon ropes. He grabbed a balloon that floated to his side, and found that the card was a photo of him, both from previous movies and this one, with birthday wishes from fans written on the back.
It can be seen that it is a fan's blessing because it has an ID name that is familiar to Yin Yan. It is estimated that Xiao Wu copied it after collecting it.
"Make a wish and blow out the candles, Teacher Yin!"
There was no time to take a few more cards to look at, Yin Yan closed his eyes under everyone's urging. The surprise came too suddenly, and he couldn't think of what kind of wish to make for a while.
After thinking for a moment, surrounded by staff who were working late into the night to film the movie, he made a wish: I hope the filming of the movie goes smoothly and it sells well at the box office.
He opened his eyes and blew out the number candles "2" and "4" on the cake. A "bang" sound was heard behind him, which scared Yin Yan so much that he dodged and ended up bumping into Yu Xiangwen's arms.
Everyone was amused by Yin Yan's reaction, and the cameraman who was shooting the behind-the-scenes footage did not forget to record this scene.
Yu Xiangwen raised the corners of his beautiful lips and helped Yin Yan sit down.
Streamers fell from above his head, and Yin Yan turned around to look behind him.
Xiao Cao smiled and waved the firework tube in his hand at him.
…
It was already late when we got back to the hotel, but luckily we didn’t have to work the next morning.
After taking a shower, Yin Yan was mostly sober. Maybe it was because he took a nap during the shower, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. He simply looked at the small card he had removed from the balloon.
On the way back, Xiao Wu said that Xiao Cao also helped him copy the fans' blessings. Yin Yan thought silently that recently his assistant and Yu Xiangwen's assistant seemed to have become a family.
As he was flipping through the books, Yin Yan saw a picture of his own smiling face. He remembered that this photo was taken when Yu Xiangwen used his photography teacher's camera to take it for him when he was filming a movie in high school.
Turning the photo, the handwriting on the back does not belong to Xiao Wu or Xiao Cao. The flamboyant characters reveal the writer's clear and neat style, and the content is very concise.
Little words:
Happy 24th birthday, be happy every day.
Yu Xiangwen
As his finger slid over the three words at the end of the photo, Yin Yan remembered that when they were in the car, Xiao Wu said that it was Yu Xiangwen who came up with the idea of collecting fans' blessings and writing them on the photos.
This was Yin Yan’s first birthday on the set, and it was very memorable.
He responded to the birthday wishes sent by other people on his phone. Many fans on Weibo also wished him a happy birthday at the right time. Everyone also changed to the same profile picture.
Yin Yan browsed for a while and saw the output of the Classical Chinese Super Topic.
The first thing to appear at 0 o'clock is Bao Nuan Si Yin Yu's editing. The editing by my wife is the Republic of China-oriented plot that she promised everyone before.
It's the Republic of China now, but I still miss Yin Yu when I'm well fed and well clothed.
Therefore, even though it was a birthday celebration, the wife did not let everyone off, and the couple in the editing were so cute again.
Everyone in the comment section was wailing about how cruel the wife was. Yin Yan smiled and flipped through it, then clicked on the video to see how cruel it was.
As soon as the phone was turned horizontally, a message slid down.
[Teacher Yu]: Are you asleep?
Yin Yan: “…”
The other party only sent this sentence, without saying what it was, and Yin Yan was completely puzzled.
You can't still want to act at this point.
Not to mention that it's almost two o'clock now. Even for tomorrow's show, it can't be moved forward, right?
Still late at night.
This pair is really a pair of luminous scripts.
Yin Yan shook his wandering head and chose the latter between "pretending to sleep and not replying" and "I want to see what he wants to do".
[小言不呆]: I haven't slept yet.
[Xiaoyanbudai]: What’s the matter, Brother Yu?
After waiting for a while, there was no response from the other party.
Yin Yan switched to Weibo, scrolled through it twice, then switched back again. Finally, he stood up with his phone in his hand and turned around on the ground.
Still no news.
What is this, playing hard to get?
Curiosity was ripping at Yin Yan's heart like a cat's scratching. Just as he was considering whether to send another message to ask, there was a knock on his door.
The message I had been waiting for for a long time popped up on my phone.
[Teacher Yu]: It’s me
Yin Yan was so frightened that he almost dropped his phone.
He looked at himself, in his pajamas, and there was nothing wrong.
Yin Yan's heart was pounding as he went to open the door.
It is really not appropriate to open the door to anyone at this time, even if the movie star is standing outside.
But he couldn't turn people away either.
Yin Yan opened the door and saw Yu Xiangwen who was putting down his phone.
Now the problem is more complicated.
It would definitely not be a good idea to just let Yu Xiangwen stand at the door like this. What if someone sees us?
It’s really hard to explain.
So Yin Yan had to step aside and invite Yu Xiangwen to come in first.
Yu Xiangwen curved his almond-shaped eyes again. He had obviously just taken a shower. His hair, which was longer than the one taken two months ago when he was in high school, was still damp and fell softly.
When passing by Yin Yan, a faint scent of shampoo wafted by.
The moment Yin Yan closed the door, his breathing stopped.
Fortunately, Yu Xiangwen did not go into the house. He just stood at the door and looked at Yin Yan with his eyes downcast. His eyelashes cast a fan-like shadow, and his eyes looked soft and harmless, which made Yin Yan's nervous mood relax a little.
"I came here to give you something." Yu Xiangwen said.
Yin Yan was a little worried that it was a birthday present.
He had already received enough gifts from Yu Xiangwen, and he wouldn't know how to repay him if he received more.
Yu Xiangwen seemed to see through his thoughts. He raised his hand and a bulging sachet fell from his hand.
Yin Yan subconsciously reached for it, and Yu Xiangwen smiled and loosened the rope hanging on his finger.
"Didn't you say you had insomnia a few days ago? This sachet is for calming the nerves, and it works pretty well. I was going to give it to you today on the set, but I forgot to bring it with me." Yu Xiangwen said, "It's just a small thing, keep it."
Yin Yan held the sachet that exuded a light herbal scent, and it was difficult for him to say no.
"Thank you, Brother Yu..." He pursed his lips and added, "Thank you for the cake tonight and those photos, too. I'm very surprised."
Yu Xiangwen and Yin Yan maintained a safe distance. He did not break this distance. He just raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of Yin Yan's head, saying, "This is your first birthday on the set. Just feel that it's a surprise."
"Okay, the stuff has been delivered. You should go to bed early. I'll go upstairs first."
The door opened and closed, and the person left without hesitation.
Yin Yan picked up the sachet in his hand in a daze, leaned in and sniffed it, as if he smelled a little bit of Yu Xiangwen's scent.
He hung the sachet on the head of his bed and had a good sleep all night.
…
The second day.
When he woke up near noon, Yin Yan's mood was not so good again.
I didn't drink much last night, so I didn't have a headache or any discomfort when I woke up this morning, except that my face was a little swollen from staying up all night.
While Yin Yan was trying to reduce the swelling on his face, he was anxiously flipping through the script.
...It's so funny. Ma Dongmei is not needed this time because she has only a few lines.
All I see are kisses and hugs.
Yin Yan became honest.
The shooting location is in another place, and we will go there in the afternoon to recreate the look from last night.
The makeup lady was still the same one as before. She smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just sleep..."
Yin Yan was horrified: "You can't get used to this!"
The young lady laughed and said, "It's just rolling around on the bed, don't be afraid."
Yin Yan became even more scared.
The scene we filmed tonight is a bed scene, but it's not complete, and Lin Wu runs away when her clothes are halfway taken off.
The script was simple, with the two of them falling on the bed, He Xiandu's hand sliding from Lin Wu's waist and lifting up her skirt, and Lin Wu suddenly sobered up a bit, opened her eyes and pushed him away, then sat up and stared for a moment before running away in a panic.
As for how long the two people will lie on the bed and touch each other during the filming, it depends on the director's control; what kind of emotions the characters have at the time depends on the cooperative performance of the actors on both sides.
After Yin Yan finished her makeup, she walked to the shooting location with a confused mind. The camera had already been set up. Yu Xiangwen and the director were sitting together talking, and Yin Yan walked over.
The director was still the casual director. He patted Yu Xiangwen on the shoulder, looked up at Yin Yan who was walking over, and said to him in a relaxed manner, "It's okay, don't think too much, just take a try first."
Yin Yan: “…”
He has connections ahhhh.
Yin Yan raised his hand weakly: "Director, can I apply for a can of beer..."
Zhao Qing laughed and said, "Okay, drink it."
Yu Xiangwen sat on the stool calmly, seemingly not worried at all about the upcoming scene.
Should we say he is worthy of being the best actor?
Yin Yan drank a can of beer and rehearsed a brief scene with Yu Xiangwen in the room.
The two of them also discussed how to lie down, what posture to use, where to put Yu Xiangwen's hands, and how to touch.
But no matter how much we discuss it, it’s hard to say what the actual filming will be like. It all depends on the on-the-spot reaction.
Zhao Qing originally thought that this scene would not involve any action unless they took off their clothes, so he did not clear the set. But seeing Yin Yan's tense state, he called the stage manager and asked everyone who was not in trouble to leave the house.
After Yin Yan and Yu Xiangwen finished their discussion, Yin Yan's mind was a little hazy and the alcohol was taking effect, so the director signaled for the camera to get ready.
He raised the intercom and said, "Start."
The stage manager hits the board.
