Chapter 35
On the same day that filming started, the official Weibo account of "Bladeless Blade" carried out the first wave of publicity, released a concept map, and announced the list of leading actors.
Soon, this list of leading actors and media reports were forwarded to the Tongze group, causing a stir.
It's director Liu Ke's film! Tongtong actually got to star in his film! Now there's no need to worry about its commercial value. It's a shame Director Liu never releases makeup photos beforehand for his films, so I wonder what kind of look he'll have this time. I've looked through the cast list three times and only found Tongzi, not Zezi... I've carefully examined the group photos released by various media outlets for the start of filming, but I don't see Master Ze either. That doesn't make sense. Didn't that guy say Zezi auditioned when he was trying to scam me? Neither side confirmed it at the time, so maybe Master Ze just accompanied Tongtong to the audition.
Is this going to be the first film they release?
[My heart is broken...qaq]
[Come on, it's not like they're breaking up. It's impossible for every movie to have roles that perfectly match them both.] [+1 to the above. And their pay is going to keep getting higher and higher, so it's unrealistic for them to appear in the same film every time.] [Uncle party, come on. That's not guaranteed~]
【How do you say it? 】
Rumors are circulating that Tongzi and Zezi will both be investing in their own dramas. So, whether they'll receive pay or not is still up for debate; perhaps they'll just take dividends. Does that mean we can expect them to continue working together? Sisters, don't worry too much about being in the same film; just watching their daily lives is sweet enough. Hey, head over to the CP chat, there's new sweet moments!
When the fans heard this, they immediately moved to the super topic.
The latest post is
@我是花花小号: It's me again! What an amazing coincidence! I photographed them outside X Cinema last year, and now I'm photographing them outside C Cinema again today!
There are four accompanying pictures below.
The first one is the “feeding photo” in which He Tong and Ye Yuze first appeared on the Internet.
In the second photo, He Tong and Ye Yuze each held a double scoop of ice cream, but He Tong turned his head to eat the one in Ye Yuze's hand.
In the third photo, He Tong raised his head and there was a little ice cream on the tip of his nose.
In the fourth photo, Ye Yuze is using a tissue to wipe He Tong’s nose.
In an instant, the number of comments below began to soar.
【I’m dying of it! I’m dying of it! I’m dying of it! 】
Master Ze's face is filled with both doting and helplessness. [Laughing][Laughing][Laughing]] [I'm the ice cream stuck on my friend's nose. I'd rather Ze lick me off than wipe me off~] [I clearly didn't eat the ice cream, but my mouth feels so sweet.] [This is the sweet taste of dog food. Swallow it, sister. Let's get fat together happily.] [Rum, cocoa, vanilla, matcha. Okay, I'm going to place the order.] The fans first screamed and devoured it, and then someone noticed the highlight.
[Huh? Wait a minute! Sister Huahua said that the photo was taken outside C Cinema today. Isn't that the filming location of "Bladeless Blade"?] [Ah! So, Master Ze is there too. Did he accompany him there?] [The uncle party pops up again~ It is said that when "The Painter" was just being filmed, Tongzi also went to accompany Zezi, and was ready to play a small role. Later, that guy played big and quit the group, and Tongzi took on the male second role.] [Oh~~ So this time it's Master Ze who will accompany Tongtong, and maybe he will even play a small role? [Erha]] [Then when the official poster is released, maybe we can see Master Ze's name in the cameo. [Looking forward to it][Looking forward to it] [Hehe, these are really inseparable good friends~]
Lingling, who was leaning on the bed and checking the super topic as usual before going to bed, also saw this Weibo post. She finally felt that the foul air that had been choking her in the afternoon had been exhaled, and her whole body felt smoother.
◇◆◇
Soon, the filming progressed to the Bianchui town scene. Ye Yuze's character was about to appear with the protagonist.
This time, Ye Yuze had to undergo special effects makeup, which was done by the crew's chief makeup artist, who worked on his face for more than an hour.
After the work was finished, everyone exclaimed in amazement at Ye Yuze's face. His once outstanding appearance was now practically unrecognizable in a crowd.
Liu Ke was also very satisfied and nodded repeatedly: "Great. This way, when the true appearance is finally revealed, the impact will be very great."
He Tong poked Ye Yuze with some worry: "Brother, how are you feeling? Is your face stuffy? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Once you put on this makeup, you have to wear it for a whole day of shooting.
Ye Yuze said, "I don't feel anything special."
The makeup artist smiled and said, "Don't worry, Teacher He. The makeup that Teacher Ye is using is high-quality and specially bought by Mr. Fang. It won't make your face feel stuffy. Just remember to use a facial mask to hydrate your face when you go back home tonight."
He Tong nodded and made a mental note to watch his brother Ye make the facial mask every night.
After preparations were completed, the group went to the shooting location.
There was no performance by He Tong in the morning, so he found a secluded place to sit down and watch.
Not long after I sat down, I heard voices talking next to me.
He Tong looked over and saw some large props piled over there, which just separated the people on their side from the people on the opposite side, so they couldn't see each other.
The person over there probably didn't expect to be overheard, so although his voice wasn't loud, it wasn't too low either.
"If I had known I was going to be an extra, I wouldn't have come! What? We're all students from professional schools after all, and you're giving us roles like this that don't even have a single line. How disrespectful!"
It was a female voice, followed by a male voice.
"You better cut the smack. We're only freshmen, we've only learned the basics and have no experience at all. It's a relief that they're willing to give us a role. Look at Brother Ruan, he was a child star, so he only had a few lines."
"Humph! I thought Ruan had such a strong background. I was trying to curry favor with him. But He Tong must have had some kind of awful luck to actually catch Director Liu's eye."
He Tong didn't pay much attention at first, but he didn't expect to hear his own name suddenly, and he couldn't help but pay attention.
The man said, "Don't mess with him. Last year, you attacked him on Weibo, and you were forced to delete your post and change your ID. Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
The female voice continued, "I just can't stand him, what's wrong with that! And that Ye Yuze, he looks like a rich second-generation. They're always seen together, do you think they're really having an affair?"
"Whether it exists or not is none of our business. Let's go, stop talking."
Then there were footsteps, probably a man pulling the woman away.
He Tong and his companions then walked around the pile of large props and looked at the two figures over there.
Xiao Zheng asked, "Boss, do you know them?"
He Tong stroked his chin and thought for a long time before he dug out the two people from the corners of his memory.
"The idiot I met during the art exam last year, turns out she was the one who slandered me for my poor grades last year."
From what they said, it seemed that the "Brother Ruan" they were surrounding was also a minor character in the crew. After only a year apart, the status of those three and He Tong had already opened up a considerable gap.
He Tong didn't care about this guy who could only talk behind people's backs, and continued to sit back and watch Ye Yuze filming.
◆◇◆
The filming of the crew is going smoothly, but the Internet is always bustling with activity.
A few days later, a self-media outlet that specializes in exposing celebrity scandals suddenly posted a tag: #Movie Emperor Ye Yuze's relationship exposed, he picks up his lover to film every day#.
This self-media marketing account chose a busy time to post on Weibo, and posted more than a dozen photos of Ye Yuze and He Tong entering and leaving the hotel gate and the cinema gate. It also bought a wave of promotion, and soon the tag became popular.
However, I don’t know if it’s because this account has cried wolf too many times, the comment section is peaceful.
[That's it? Isn't it natural for these two to act together? Have they ever been apart?] [The person above, that's not the case. Actor Ye doesn't have any scenes in "Bladeless Blade" this time, but he's still following her every day, so it's no surprise that there are rumors about her.] [Why do they need others to spread rumors? The real couple is always showing off their affection. This won't generate traffic, so bloggers, don't waste your money.] [Emmmm... I came here for that clickbait tag, but now I feel nothing and even want to laugh.] [What? Haven't these two been a couple for a long time? Why do they need to make such a fuss about it? I thought they were getting married.] [Pfft, the person above, they've never officially announced anything.]
At a time like this, shouldn't their girlfriends and wives be crying and screaming? Why are they so calm? [...Honestly, I doubt they even have girlfriends and wives...] [Their fans maintained their usual good behavior, posting their own posts and not disturbing others. If you want to see, just look for it.] So one netizen actually looked through the posts and found a whole bunch of Tongze fans posting, "No official announcement, please go back to the super topic and be yourself, thank you."
Just when the scandal was about to end quietly, Miao Zhizhi, the goddess in the hearts of countless otakus, forwarded the Weibo post.
@苗芝芝V: Teacher Ye didn't come here just to accompany Teacher He, he also has a movie to shoot. //@……
Although her post was deleted in less than a minute, her quick-eyed and quick-handed Tongze fans had already taken a screenshot and sent it to the group.
[What does she mean by this? Is she trying to clear up the rumors about Tongzi and Zezi?] [She doesn't need to clarify things. She and the two guys aren't even from the same company; they're just partners. Why is she butting in on such a personal topic?] [Although we all know we're just CP fans and don't really believe they're together, does she really need to pour cold water on them? Even if they weren't accompanying each other, it's a fact that the two guys go out and come in together.] [I've always felt that Mzz's EQ is a bit low...]
[She's not low in EQ, she just did it on purpose. If anyone says she's too talkative, her male fans will definitely say, "She's just too naive and accidentally said the truth."] [I really hope she's telling the truth, because that would mean Tongtong and Master Ze are in the same movie again.] By the time He Tong received the news of this incident, the internet was completely quiet.
He was puzzled: "What's the point of spreading rumors about Brother Ye and me? Is someone trying to give us free attention again?"
Lingling's expression was subtle. "I looked through all the comments on that Weibo post and only just discovered a clue... You might not believe it if I tell you..."
Now even Ye Yuze looked over with some curiosity.
"From my perspective, the person stirring up trouble is just trying to use the rumors about you two to rip into your fanbase, trying to get your fans to quit and turn against you. After all, with other celebrities, every time a rumor spreads and isn't clarified, a bunch of fans will quit."
“…”
He Tong was speechless after hearing this.
Lingling said inexplicably, "I guess that person isn't familiar with your fan base. They don't know that you two are basically just a couple, and your fans are so few and so afraid to say anything."
He Tong touched his forehead.
Lingling continued, "But I don't understand why Miao Zhizhi got involved."
He Tong snorted softly: "She was scolded by Director Liu, right?"
Lingling nodded: "Of course, the contract states that crew matters cannot be disclosed."
"Forget it, let's not worry about her. We can't figure out her train of thought."
He Tong shrugged, then turned back to stare at his brother Ye: "Brother, it's not time yet, you can't take off the mask."
After failing to secretly remove the mask, Ye Yuze sighed almost imperceptibly.
