Chapter 67
When He Tong and Ye Yuze arrived at the crew, they were filming a one-man show about Fu Ping's suicide. In the play, his character ended up in a dead end because of cruel bullying at school.
The two of them quietly walked a few steps behind Liu Yuci and looked at the three monitors around her together.
After Liu Yuci called "Cut," He Tongcai whispered to Ye Yuze, "Fu Ping has made considerable progress. Starting this year, the Red Plum Awards now include web dramas in the roster. I think we can give him a shot at Best Newcomer next year."
Liu Yuci in front finished watching the replay and signaled that it was time to shoot the next shot. Then he turned back and looked at the two people behind him, focusing on He Tong.
"Have you recovered?"
"It's okay." He Tong smiled and patted his chest. "You're young, you can handle it."
Ye Yuze also nodded: "So I came over to shoot the night scene."
Liu Yuci patted He Tong's shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll shoot those two of yours tonight."
He Tong added, "I've ordered some food from the hotel, which will be delivered to the crew for dinner to improve their meals. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone by this last-minute arrangement."
Liu Yuci responded, "You're so thoughtful. Go wait in the dressing room first. It's hot, don't stay out here in the sun."
He Tong apologized and went to the dressing room with Ye Yuze.
As soon as they left, the staff who had heard what had just happened couldn't help but discuss it. Although the food was good now, who wouldn't be happy to have more dishes?
"Is this the hotel we're staying at? I've seen the menu, and it's not cheap."
"I've heard before that they are very generous. It's finally our turn to enjoy the care of investors."
"Hey, don't you feel guilty about what you said? You're not going to admit you were responsible for all the cold tea and ice cream before?"
"Hey, extra dishes are different from snacks after all."
The two generous investors were waiting in the air-conditioned dressing room for dinner and the night shoot.
He Tong was using a secondary account to browse his CP's super topic. He was enjoying it when his Weibo suddenly froze.
"What's going on? The Weibo server is down again?"
Xiao Zheng said, "I just saw a notification saying someone announced a relationship..."
Lingling continued, "I saw it too. It's Xu Qianyi, the TV King. I was about to click on it, but it got stuck."
As the three of them were talking, Weibo finally came alive.
He Tong casually clicked on the trending searches and saw the first one: #Xu Qianyi announces relationship#, followed by the word "explosion." He hadn't considered clicking on it until Lingling next to him exclaimed, "The target is Tang Yitian," and he finally clicked on it. The trending post was Xu Qianyi's Weibo, featuring a close-up photo of him and Tang Yitian.
He Tong looked at the photo and thought of Fu Ping whom he had just seen, and couldn't help but smile.
The entertainment industry is really interesting.
While finishing his meal and waiting for the show, He Tong received a call from Yu Zheng.
He got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Xiao Fang told my cousin about 'The End of the Sky'. My cousin has agreed to adapt it, and I'm quite interested. But I need to tell you about the time."
He Tong hurriedly said, "You go ahead."
"Look, I've already signed a contract for a drama that's set to start filming next July, so if you want me to shoot your part, it'll have to be finished before April. This drama is basically just you two, and with your acting skills, I think three months should be no problem. I'm afraid you'll have to join the crew seamlessly."
"Okay." He Tong agreed immediately, "It's up to you when you want to come. It's fine with us."
"Okay." Yu Zheng said with a smile, "Then I'll sign the contract with your Mr. Fang tomorrow. Let's work together again. Please take care of me, bosses."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. It's us who should ask for your continued guidance." He Tong said politely, "We're still hoping you'll bring us another award."
Yu Zheng laughed: "This topic is quite suitable for the Baoyue City Film Festival. Let's work on it together."
As soon as He Tong hung up the phone, the assistant director knocked on the door and came in to inform them that it was time to go on set.
There are many night scenes in the first unit of "Dream Travel". Tonight is just a warm-up, and the subsequent shooting time will shift to the afternoon and evening.
The first scene is a chase scene. The two protagonists who just entered the world of resentment discovered the victim who created this world. They wanted to contact each other, but the victim ran away, and the two protagonists chased after him.
As a cat demon, Xuan Meng's running style is naturally different from that of humans. There are scenes where he runs on the wall and jumps from the ground to the corridor on the second floor, so Ye Yuze needs to use wire ropes.
He Tong felt a little distressed as he watched the bodyguards and staff putting things on his brother Ye. He had forgotten about this before coming here, but he had already remembered that there were some wirework scenes that required strong physical strength, so he definitely needed to rest up.
After everyone else had dispersed, he approached Ye Yuze and whispered, "Should we ask Director Liu to move this one back?"
Ye Yuze stretched his arms and legs: "It's okay, no need to bother, just finish the shoot quickly."
This shoot went pretty smoothly and passed in two attempts.
After untying the wire, Ye Yuze staggered as he took a step. He Tong, who had been keeping a close eye on his situation, quickly reached out to support him.
The assistant director nearby saw this and nervously asked, "What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Ye Yuze stood up straight and waved his hands: "It's okay, I haven't been on the wire for a while, so I'm not used to it."
The assistant director urged the staff nearby to bring a chair and said, "Then please sit down and rest for a while. It will take some time to set up the lighting for the stage."
He Tong helped Ye Yuze walk to the side and sit down, then gently rubbed his waist.
Seeing that he looked depressed, Ye Yuze rubbed his head in amusement and said, "It's really okay. You're not that tired."
He Tong rested his chin on Ye Yuze's shoulder and sighed, "I was wrong. I will definitely memorize your part from now on."
Ye Yuze couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, keep going."
◆◇◆
When the filming of the first unit of "Dream Travel" was coming to an end, He Tong and Ye Yuze unexpectedly became a hot topic again.
The story is a bit convoluted. It all started with their previous livestream of poking the felt. Later, Ye and Ze posted an edited version of the video on their homepage, and their profile pictures on Zhilei Video Network changed to a black cat and a wolfhound. This sparked a wave of Ye and Ze fans' interest in poking the felt.
After all, most of Tongze fans are women, and most of them can't resist the cute furry ones.
But poking felt requires not only a bit of skill but, more importantly, patience. In this impetuous era, few people can truly be patient enough to produce a satisfactory piece. Crucially, finished felt figures are inexpensive, and even custom-made ones aren't much more expensive.
So some impatient girls just bought ready-made products or had them custom-made, and then found a store with good quality and good prices, and gradually spread the word among their fans, and then slowly spread it to their friends and family. In short, they became a tap water for that store.
As it happened, that shop was actually a public welfare project, helping disabled people and patients who couldn't work outside by organizing them to make handicrafts to supplement their lives. The sudden surge in orders startled the person in charge, and after some research, they discovered that a celebrity had sparked a wave of felt fever.
The person in charge was also smart, and he thought of a way to take advantage of Tongze's popularity - he sent Xingchen a thank-you letter to the two stars and fans.
When Xingchen saw that this name was good, he bought a hot search to promote it.
Then, when the crew of the show "People Around Us" which was still being broadcast saw that this matter had something to do with disabled people, they also came over to spread the news.
After this publicity, many netizens started to pay attention to the store. Many people who like furry things placed orders, even kindly noting, "Take your time, no need to rush." This made the manager very happy. The sales increased significantly, and this was all due to her hard work.
He Tong and Ye Yuze naturally gained a lot of favor from passers-by, and their number of fans increased a lot. As for the TV series, the ratings that had originally declined soared again.
Looking back on this incident, Fang Chen marveled: "You two are destined to be famous. A live broadcast that you came up with on a whim can have such a lasting effect."
He Tong said modestly: "This time it's all thanks to Brother Ye and the fans."
"Then why don't you give back to your fans and broadcast live again?"
"That would be too deliberate." He Tong touched his chin, "Let's continue business as usual. Being unperturbed by praise or criticism is the magnanimity of a great man."
So he posted a Weibo
@贺同V: I don't know how much you all like felt dolls. I was planning on keeping them for myself, but since you guys like them, let me show you @叶与泽V's first creation. PS: It's a gift for me~ Felt Snowman.jpg Soon, fans flooded his comment section.
[If you have the guts to post pictures, then you can enter the lucky draw! [Erha]]
[This snowman is exactly like the two we built together before. Master Ze is truly ingenious (why does this adjective always seem odd to me?).] [I saw Tongzai's wildly wagging tail in that last wavy line. [Dog head]] [I feel like I've witnessed something...]
[All I know is that I can save another meal today. I'm already stuffed with dog food.] He Tong posted on Weibo and then ignored it. Anyway, there was no way I could win the lottery.
Now he is preparing to shoot the last scene of the first unit.
According to the show, the world of resentment is a dangerous place where one can easily die and be assimilated into the resentment. The cat demon Xuan Meng, unable to return to his original form and with his demonic powers suppressed, is accidentally knocked into the water while dispelling the resentment of his victim. Ji Shaoyou quickly dives in to save him. There's also a scene where he breathes through his mouth.
All the other shots had already been filmed, and now only the underwater shots remained. Liu Yuci had deployed three underwater cameras, hoping to get the shot right in one go.
After everyone took their positions, Ye Yuze sank to the bottom of the swimming pool first, spread out his body, and pretended to be unconscious.
In fact, he was holding a miniature oxygen supply in his mouth, so that he could continuously spit out bubbles underwater.
He Tong received Liu Yuci's signal and went into the water, swimming towards Ye Yuze.
His slender limbs swung vigorously in the water, and he soon came to Ye Yuze's side, stretched out his hands to pull him into his arms, and held up his face to breathe. Ye Yuze also opened his eyes slightly at this time and looked back at him in confusion.
According to Liu Yuci's request, this action needs to be paused for more than ten seconds to allow the camera to capture enough material for editing.
He Tong read it in his mind for twenty seconds before raising his head and swimming towards the surface with the person in his arms.
The two of them emerged from the water, and He Tong gently patted Ye Yuze's face: "Xuan Meng, Xuan Meng! Are you okay?"
Ye Yuze coughed and woke up.
He Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Card!"
Liu Yuci called a halt and said happily, "Very good, very beautiful! Come up quickly to take a shower and change clothes, don't catch a cold again."
He Tong happily pulled Ye Yuze to the edge of the pool to get out of the water.
Lingling handed the two bath towels and said with a smile, "When this drama airs, I think the fans will go crazy."
He Tong shrugged. "On the surface, I was the one providing the air, but who would have thought that we were both relying on oxygen to stay alive. The truth is sometimes so cruel."
Lingling giggled when she heard this.
Ye Yuze wrapped himself in a towel and dragged the man away: "If you catch a cold again, I will leave you alone in the hotel to experience cruelty."
He Tong took two quick steps to catch up with him, and chuckled in his ear, "With you watching over me personally this time, I definitely won't catch a cold again~"
