Chapter 58
He Tong held Ye Yuze in his arms and had a sound sleep. Thanks to the sweet dream, even the dark circles under his eyes were not very noticeable when he woke up in the morning.
The two of them stuck together all the way back to Yancheng Airport before finally parting ways. Ye Yuze returned home first, while He Tong, recharged and full of energy, headed to the mall where the roadshow was taking place.
The special guests of the Yancheng roadshow are a veteran actor, as well as Tang Yitian and Fu Ping who are just there to make up the numbers.
Nearly eight months have passed since filming wrapped at the end of October last year. During this time, He Tong has starred in a public welfare TV series and an international blockbuster. Meanwhile, Tang Yitian and Fu Ping, two Yanchuan University graduates who graduated during the filming of "The Bladeless Blade," have just signed with agencies and are struggling to make their mark in the entertainment industry.
During this meeting, even if Tang Yitian wanted to get closer, he couldn't really say that he was Senior Brother He Tong - that wouldn't be building a relationship, but would just be asking for trouble.
He Tong greeted the three guests and waited in his own lounge. The mall had paired him with Liu Ke, but Liu Ke went to chat with Chen Zheng and the veteran actor, leaving He Tong in his own private room.
This promotional run was so grueling, He Tong simply gave Xiaoyu and Aya, who had less work, the day off, leaving Lingling, a half-baked makeup artist, to handle the job. There were no HD cameras in front of them, so it was just a simple daily application. He Tong was young and had good skin, so it was just a simple job of covering up dark circles and drawing in eyebrows.
He Tong had a good rest last night, so he didn't even need to put on foundation today. Lingling peeled off his mask, applied toner and lotion, and then directly applied concealer under his eyes.
He Tong looked up and let her toss him around, then casually asked, "Aren't Tang Yitian and Fu Ping at odds? Why are they still signed to the same company?"
Lingling laughed at him: "Young Boss, you are so nosy. I really don't know anything about them. I'm too new."
Xiao Zheng, who was standing nearby, suddenly looked up from his phone and said, "I've heard a few rumors. Someone in my college class group works at their company, and they talked about it a while ago."
He Tong urged him: "Tell me about it. You're free anyway."
Xiao Zheng didn't keep the secrets any longer and went straight to the point, "It seems Tang Yitian has some connections with the top management at their company. He was hired internally, while Fu Ping was formally recruited. Neither of them knew they were signed to the same company until they were assigned to the same agent. People in the group said Tang Yitian even made a scene at the time, trying to get Fu Ping out, but in the end, not only did he fail, he didn't even change the agent. People at that company were secretly laughing at Tang Yitian. At first, they thought he had some powerful connections, but that's how it turned out."
As Xiao Zheng spoke, he casually searched for information online and added, "Tang Yitian has accepted roles in two idol dramas, one as the third male lead and the other as the second male lead. It seems there's a bit of a resource imbalance. Fu Ping has been playing minor roles, but the crews he's been on are all well-known and large crews."
He Tong smiled and said, "Fu Ping really put his mind to acting well. As for Tang Yitian, he probably only thought about how to become famous. Everyone has their own aspirations."
Lingling finished applying concealer, opened her eyebrow powder, and began to brush He Tong's eyebrows. She then said, "Tomorrow they're also going to film a variety show. It's even live streamed online. I think Tang Yitian will definitely try his best to steal the spotlight."
He Tong snorted softly: "That Yantai program has been running for four or five years. The production team and the director are not fools."

When Ye Yuze returned to the villa, he brought back a 3D Blu-ray disc given to him by Liu Ke.
"Bladeless Blade" actually held a formal premiere before this wave of promotion began, inviting many filmmakers, film critics and media people to watch the film. He Tong, who was in Country M at the time, also recorded a video and sent it over, which was considered as his participation.
While the roadshow was intensive, online promotions also continued. Many people who watched the film in advance wrote articles to hype the film, and they naturally contributed to the pre-sale box office of over 500 million yuan.
Therefore, tonight's premiere meeting could be considered a fan meeting, and the people who bought tickets to watch the movie were ordinary audiences. After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Yuze decided not to go to the premiere, so Liu Ke gave him the disc to watch it himself.
Ye Yuze was in a good mood when he got home. He asked Uncle Zou to prepare some snacks and drinks, intending to wait for He Tong to come back and watch a movie together.
Uncle Zou happily agreed, first gave instructions to the housekeeping staff, and then went to the newly built audio-visual room to help Ye Yuze debug the playback equipment.
As a result, the two of them couldn't help but watch it after just a while, so they simply sat down and watched it once.
After watching, Uncle Zou took off his glasses, gently pressed the corners of his eyes, and said with emotion: "If Teacher Fang and A Lei were still here, seeing such an outstanding performance from you, they would definitely be so happy that they would make dumplings for you personally."
Ye Yuze recalled that in the past, his grandfather and mother loved to cook whenever they were happy, but they didn't know how to cook, so they could only make dumplings to celebrate.
"Hey, why did I bring this up?" Uncle Zou came to his senses and quickly changed the subject. "It's time for lunch. I'll go downstairs and see how the preparations are going."
Ye Yuze watched him leave, raised his hand and gently pressed it on his chest over his heart.
Strangely, recently, whenever he thought about the past, the heavy, breathless feeling in his chest had lessened considerably. Furthermore, whenever he felt a dull ache in his heart, he would simultaneously feel a surge of warmth, as if wrapping around his heart and gently massaging it, slowly soothing the dull pain. That feeling… was as if He Tong were holding him in his arms, gently soothing him.
Ye Yuze raised the corners of his lips slightly. It had only been a short while since they'd parted, and he was already thinking about him again.
It was almost eleven o'clock when He Tong returned home.
Ye Yuze felt it was too late, so he didn't mention watching a movie. After all, they both had seen it, so there was no rush.
However, the "Brother Ye's emotion detector" in He Tong's body was quite sensitive. He realized something was wrong while eating a midnight snack, and quickly went to Uncle Zou to inquire.
Uncle Zou smiled and pointed to the second floor: "I originally wanted to wait for you to come back to watch a movie together, but I didn't consider the time."
He Tong touched his chin, chuckled and went upstairs.
He took a quick shower, and when he came out, he picked up Ye Yuze, who was sitting on the bed reading, and went out and downstairs.
Ye Yuze held him helplessly: "Why are you still making a fuss so late?"
He Tong carried the person into the audio-visual room, gently placed him on the large and comfortable sofa, then sat down next to him and pressed the remote control.
"We haven't watched a proper movie since we finished this place, so let's enjoy it today."
Ye Yuze laughed: "It won't be the same if we look at it again in a few days."
He Tong stuffed the 3D glasses into his hand and kissed him on the forehead: "Anyway, I don't have to get up early tomorrow, and the variety show won't be recorded until the afternoon, so it's okay to sleep in a little longer."
After the opening logo, the noisy sound in the film gradually became louder.
The two sat shoulder to shoulder. He Tong held a bucket of pistachios and took a bite from time to time, occasionally giving one to Ye Yuze.
The film begins with the scene that He Tong performed during his art exam two years ago.
He Tong boasted to his brother Ye: "At the post-film meeting tonight, Director Liu said that he had chosen me for this role!"
Ye Yuze tilted his head to look at his smug expression, then reached out and patted him on the head.
He Tong, like a big dog that had been praised by its owner, immediately put his head close to rub against the person.
When the film showed Ye Yuze's character following the protagonist out, He Tong couldn't help laughing out loud.
"I was sitting in a corner seat, and the girls nearby seemed like a sister group. When your masked, red-dressed character appeared, they immediately recognized him and assumed you were just making a cameo appearance. But when the reveal came later, everyone screamed."
Ye Yuze's lips curled up slightly. Looking back, his performance in this play was indeed quite unique.
When the film showed Ye Yuze appearing in a mask and red clothes, He Tong had already laid on top of his brother Ye.
He secretly rubbed Ye Yuze's waist and touched her earlobes lightly as if intimately.
"When I was filming this scene, I was thinking, when we get married, I'll also wear a full set of red robes... But I have to hide you and not let others see you..."
As he spoke, he put Ye Yuze's earlobe in his mouth and sucked it gently.
Ye Yuze tickled him and asked, "Are you still going to watch the movie?"
He Tong chuckled: "I don't want to watch anymore, I just want to watch you."
Ye Yuze turned sideways and hugged his neck: "Then turn it off and concentrate."
"Yes, sir!"
He Tong stretched out a hand and reached for the remote control without looking back. He pressed the power switch directly, threw the remote control away, and fell on the sofa with the person in his arms.
◇◆◇
The fans of Tongze who watched the premiere of "Bladeless Blade" that night were also very excited.
In order to avoid spoiling the plot for others, they set up a Weibo group chat.
[Tongtong, the swordsman, is even cooler than the senior brother. He's so cool, so cool! He's killing me! [heart][heart]] [It's worthy of being a 3D movie, the visual enjoyment of the fight scenes couldn't be better! Tongzi's fight scenes are superb! [thumbs up]] [Haha, now I believe what he said before about Coach Yang wanting to take him in as a disciple because of his extraordinary talent. [laughing]] [Master Ze's role is also so subversive! Crazy beauties, so exciting! [nosebleed]] [The real excitement comes later when he takes off his disguise! It was so exciting that I almost jumped out of my seat!] [Our audience was filled with wailing.]
We also...
[+2]
[Who would have thought that someone whose name only appeared in the guest appearance column would appear from the beginning to the end.] [And the audience hasn't noticed yet...]
[Honestly, that character's presence was so weak that when I think about it now, I can't even remember what scenes he played before. [facepalm]] [I've already placed the order and will be staring at him when I watch it again!]
[Director Liu is really good at hiding things. If Miao Zhizhi hadn't revealed that Zezai also had a role to play, Director Liu might not even have written his name on the poster.] [The great director knows how to have fun! He even specially created a scene where the young swordsman and the crazy beauty played against each other. Just for this, I have to watch a few more scenes!] [That's right, Zezai's crazy beauty look has only appeared in front of Tongzai.] [Speaking of which, Director Liu will also participate in the next episode of "Big Challenge" announced by Yantai! It's tomorrow!] [A variety show that will interact with the barrage, with Tongzai, Zezai, and Director Liu. Sisters, do you understand?] [Oh oh! I understand!]
