Chapter 52
He Tong came to the conclusion that Teles was interested in Ye Yuze after observing for a period of time.
It started on the day they first met. He Tong dared to bet that when Telles saw his brother Ye, his eyes instantly brightened three degrees, and he even shook hands for five more seconds.
Then, during the first reading session the day before yesterday, when Telles entered the room, he walked straight to Ye Yuze. It was only because He Tong reacted quickly and switched seats with Ye Yuze that Telles did not have to sit next to his brother Ye.
Later, when the reading session continued, He Tong learned his lesson and asked Ye Yuze to sit next to Bei Jiaxiang, and then sat next to him, leaving no chance for Telles to take advantage.
Even so, He Tong had even seen Telles approach Ye Yuze when he was alone. After three or four such incidents, He Tong became even more vigilant, wishing he could tie his "Brother Ye" to his belt and carry him wherever he went.
Besides these things, Telles's attitude towards He Tong also served as a contrast. Although his attitude was not bad, it was polite but unfamiliar.
Although He Tong is not as versatile as Fang Chen, when he is willing to make friends with others, there are rarely people he cannot win over.
For example, Christina changed the way she addressed He Tong from "He" to "Tongtong" the day after they met, which is enough to show the power of He Tong's friendship with middle-aged and elderly women.
Within two days, He Tong discovered that Charlie and Hesen also enjoyed Zhilei's signature game, so he teamed them up to play ranked matches and gain stars. After a single night, the three of them had become die-hard fans of Ye Yuze, and naturally, they were enthusiastic about He Tong, their "vice-captain who handled miscellaneous tasks."
In this way, Teles, who was alienated from He Tong, seemed even more special.
From this, He Tong can be sure that Teles must have intentions towards Ye Yuze.
Thinking of this, He Tong couldn't help but grit his teeth: "We are inseparable and we live in the same room without hiding the fact that we are together. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what our relationship is, and yet he is so shameless as to keep getting close to you."
Ye Yuze was very calm: "He said he really likes 'The Painter' and is a fan of mine."
He Tong curled his lips: "Excuse!"
"Okay, he's not important. Hurry up and get back to filming. Don't keep us waiting."
Ye Yuze rubbed He Tong's head soothingly.
After the remaining three group scenes were filmed in the morning, except for Bei Jiaxiang who had anticipated this, the entire crew looked at He Tong with admiration.
Among a group of actors with outstanding acting skills, He Tong's performance was not overshadowed at all. Even though he did not have many lines and played a good boy, he was still able to show his presence as the protagonist at all times.
His every move captures the audience's attention at the perfect moment, every micro-expression draws them into the drama, and every line compels them to listen closely. He seems born to be in the spotlight, impossible to ignore.
Even the main actors were stunned by He Tong, not to mention the other supporting actors who served as supporting roles. After these three group scenes, the crew's initial sense of restlessness completely subsided, and no one anymore had any objections to Bei Jiaxiang's choice of the lead actor.
During lunch break, everyone eats and rests.
He Tong's team didn't let the crew take care of the food; he brought three chefs with him to buy and make their own boxed lunches. After all, they had three months to shoot, and they couldn't stand eating the food from here all the time.
The entire crew knew that He Tong and Ye Yuze's team had a special meal of Chinese cuisine. Charlie and Christina even came to eat there for free and raved about it when they returned. Later, Bei Jiaxiang joined them for lunch, and even the Hesen siblings shamelessly came to ask for some.
Today, Bei Jiaxiang came to the small restaurant here for lunch as usual. He picked out a three-pack of spicy chicken, mapo tofu, and braised eggplant from several different lunch boxes, and sat next to He Tong and Ye Yuze to eat happily.
He Tong looked at him with some resentment and said quietly, "Director Bei, don't you get constipated if you eat such spicy food every day?"
Bei Jiaxiang coughed and looked up to see a sea of green vegetables in front of He Tong, with only a few slices of red beef and a bowl of porridge as the staple food. Then he looked at the exquisite three-in-one dish, one vegetarian dish, a small bowl of soup, and distinct grains of white rice in front of Ye Yuze, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for He Tong.
So he waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me. Just lower your head and eat. Out of sight, out of mind."
He Tong: “…” Is it okay to deceive yourself like this?
Bei Jiaxiang, feeling a little guilty, quickly finished his meal, then went to get a bowl of soup and drank it slowly.
After seeing He Tong finish his nutritious meal to maintain his figure, he said, "The group performance this morning was pretty good, but why do I feel like you're overshadowing Telles's performance?"
He Tong looked back with an innocent expression: "He and I don't have any scenes together, how can I overshadow him? He has no presence in the group scene, it's his own problem."
Bei Jiaxiang squinted his eyes doubtfully as he looked at He Tong. "Are you really not ostracizing him? I heard you have a good relationship with everyone else, but you're just lukewarm with him."
He Tong spread his hands and said, "I promised Christina that I would help her arrange a jewelry set with Uncle Reese. She was very happy and took better care of me. As for Charlie and the Hesen siblings, we were just playing games together. There are five of us in a team, and with Brother Ye and me, we are full. Besides, I also asked Tris, and he himself said that he doesn't play mobile games."
Of course, what He Tong didn't tell Teles was that they were actually a team whose members all relied on Ye and Ze.
Bei Jiaxiang couldn't hear any flaws, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just reminded him, "It's okay if you have different personalities and can't play together. Just get along with each other during filming. Don't cause any verbal abuse or physical assault."
He Tong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ye and I have invested a lot of money in this film, and it will definitely not affect the crew and the film."
Ye Yuze chewed slowly and silently, as if he didn't notice He Tong rubbing his knee against him gently under the table.
Bei Jiaxiang's focus was on controlling the overall scene, which is why he didn't notice the small details. However, Ye Yuze, as a background figure in the group scene, clearly noticed that He Tong was intentionally or unintentionally passing the scene to others through his movements and eyes. Teles, who had no scenes with him, was naturally marginalized in the group scene.
However, all actors in a group play have always relied on their own abilities to make their presence felt. If they cannot stand out in front of the camera, it means their professional level is not good enough, and they cannot blame others.
Ye Yuze noticed the slight smugness hidden on He Tong's face, and couldn't help but smile a little.
At this time, Bei Jiaxiang said, "By the way, the locals say that there is often fog here in the early mornings in April. I've observed it these past few days, and the fog in the forest outside can be used to shoot two or three hours of real scenes every day. So starting tomorrow, we have to get up early and shoot the scenes in the forest in the back first. If we can shoot the real scene, and then add some supplementary materials in post-production, it will be more realistic."
He Tong jokingly put two fingers together and pointed at his eyebrows: "As you say! I will make sure to go to bed early and get up early, so as not to affect my condition."
In the afternoon, everyone, inspired by the excellent leading actor He Tong, performed their roles one after another, which made the producer very satisfied and felt that the huge salary was not wasted.
Ye Yuze only had one scene, and after filming it, he went back to the dressing room to take off his costume.
This castle has been abandoned for many years. Before the crew came in, they only hired an engineering team to do some simple renovations. Naturally, it does not have the high-end dressing rooms with their own toilets like those in the movie studios.
After removing her makeup, Ye Yuze was blocked by Teles in the public restroom.
"Ye, can't you really give me a chance? We have to try it before we can know if we are suitable for each other, right?"
Ye Yuze crossed his arms with a cold expression: "Mr. Teles, I thought I had explained everything to you when you first came to see me. But you still don't understand."
Teles looked at him with pity. "I know what you mean, but I saw on the Chinese internet that you and He are just hyping up your relationship and haven't publicly stated that you're a couple. Doesn't that mean you're not serious about it? Since we're just playing around, maybe after trying it out you'll find that I'm more suitable for you than him."
"I refuse." Ye Yuze looked at him coldly, "I hope you won't make me say it a third time. Now, can you move aside?"
Teles shook his head in disappointment, but instead of stepping back, he took a step forward.
However, he was unable to take the second step.
Ye Yuze raised his chin slightly, and the bodyguard who had arrived at some point quickly took action and instantly grabbed Teles' arms.
Teles cried out in pain, turned his head in panic and shouted, "What are you doing? Let me go!"
The bodyguard turned a deaf ear and pushed him aside.
Ye Yuze walked past Teles without looking at him.
It was such a small matter that Ye Yuze didn't care about it at first.
As a result, as soon as he returned to the room at night and closed the door, He Tong hugged him tightly and rubbed him hard.
The two of them stumbled and fell on the sofa. He Tong lay down and used his head as a cushion, pressing Ye Yuze's head and giving him a deep kiss.
He Tong finally ended the kiss after they both felt breathless.
After calming down, he bit Ye Yuze's lower lip and asked, "Did that bastard Tres block you again this afternoon?"
Ye Yuze felt a little itchy from his biting. He turned his face slightly away and licked his lips, then replied, "It's okay. My bodyguard will follow me anytime."
He Tong snorted, "He only got a Best Actor nomination, and he thinks he's so great. I'll continue to deal with him tomorrow!"
Ye Yuze rubbed his head and said, "I'll just ignore him. It's not worth getting angry over someone who has nothing to do with me. Get up. It's too narrow here. It's uncomfortable."
He Tong rubbed Ye Yuze's face again, straightened his waist and sat up.
"Then let's go to bed~"
Ye Yuze gently pulled his hair: "Starting tomorrow, you have to get up early."
He Tong chuckled: "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll have a good sleep tonight!"
The next day, fans of He Tong, who were separated by an ocean, discovered that He Tong, who was said to be in isolation for three months of filming, actually posted on Weibo.
@贺同V: I was fortunate to enjoy the friendly wake-up service provided by @叶与泽V.
The accompanying picture shows him sleeping soundly with a hand pinching his nose.
Fans: They can still operate as usual even in a closed filming on the other side of the ocean, they are really awesome!
