Chapter 7
Ye Yuze replied: "Yes."
"CP business is..." He Tong continued to speak at the beginning before reacting, his eyes slightly widened, "What did you just say?"
Ye Yuze calmly repeated, "Yes."
"...Do you know what CP business means?"
"I know. I'll go online."
“…” So Brother Ye also visits the entertainment section?
He Tong was a little nervous and asked cautiously: "So... you don't... feel disgusted?"
Ye Yuze remained calm: "It's quite interesting."
“…”
He Tong wanted to ask him how much he knew, but he was afraid asking would only spur him to delve deeper into the CP world. After all, with his brother Ye's data analysis skills, half a month was enough to produce a paper titled "The Ecology of the CP World and Its Interaction with the Entertainment Industry."
In the end, he could only scratch his face awkwardly and said, "Anyway, as long as you don't object."
Ye Yuze raised his phone and took a picture of He Tong scratching his face.
He Tong: “?”
"For future business use."
“…”
Why do I feel like I failed to tease someone but ended up being teased instead?

The crew of "The Painter" filmed in the studio for half a month, and then there was intensive location shooting.
The crew traveled to five locations over 20 days, an average of four days per location. After deducting a day and a half spent on the road, filming was left with only two and a half days. To this end, the crew rented two sets of equipment, with an assistant director leading the team to transport one to the next location for pre-production. The two sets were then used alternately to maximize time savings.
The crew's first stop was Lushan, just as the sun was about to set, so everyone rushed to the filming location without even going to the hotel.
Ye Yuze and He Tong put on makeup on the ground. Yu Zheng carefully confirmed the camera position, then walked back and forth several times while watching the light substitute, adjusting all the fill light positions.
In order to maintain the continuity of the actors' emotions, three cameras were used to shoot at the same time, and the positioning needed to be more accurate.
Yu Zheng personally took Ye Yuze and He Tong for a walk, and then patted them on the back.
"We only have time for two scenes, so let's try to get it right in one try!"
The script supervisor hit the board.

In the warm afterglow of the setting sun, Bai Ruyun stood at the edge of the observation deck, holding the railing with one hand, looking at the thin sea of clouds and the vaguely visible layers of mountains in front of her.
As he watched, his body suddenly shook slightly.
Then, a hand reached out, grabbed his arm and pulled it back.
Bai Ruyun was pulled back a few steps from the railing and gently bumped into the arms of the person who came in.
Yu Chu looked down at him and said gently, "Sir, be careful. The railing may not be strong."
Bai Ruyun stood up, pulled back her hand, and responded with a low "hmm".
Yu Chu turned and looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and said slowly: "It's really beautiful. I'm uneducated and don't know how to put it... If it weren't for you, sir, I probably would never have seen such a beautiful scenery in my life."
Hearing this, Bai Ruyun looked up at Yu Chu.
Yu Chu seemed to sense something and turned his gaze back to look at him.
After looking at each other for a moment, Bai Ruyun took a step back, his eyes moving back and forth between Yu Chu and the railing.
Yu Chu's eyes followed him, a little confused: "Sir?"
Bai Ruyun took out his phone from his pocket and said, "Stand over there and I'll take a picture of you."
Yu Chu's face lit up and he quickly walked to the railing and stood there casually.
"Is that so?"
Bai Ruyun raised her phone, found a good spot, and pressed the shutter button.
"Okay, come and take a look."
Yu Chu walked back quickly and looked down at the half-silhouette taken by Bai Ruyun on her phone.
"Mr. is indeed a painter, the photos he takes are just beautiful."
He raised his head, his eyes sparkling.
"Send it to me, I'll use it as my phone screensaver."
Bai Ruyun looked at his face full of youthful vitality and slowly revealed a faint smile.
"good."

"Card!"
Yu Zheng shouted "Stop" and hurried to watch the playback from three monitors.
He Tong looked around, waved to Xiao Zheng, and took back his phone.
Then he nudged Ye Yuze: "Brother, while there's fill light, stand over there and I'll take a picture of you. This angle is really good."
Ye Yuze walked over and leaned lightly on the railing.
He Tong kept his camera facing her and took a lot of pictures.
Yu Zheng looked up at them with amusement after watching the replay, then grabbed the loudspeaker and shouted, "That one passed. Are you done filming? If you're done, quickly stand back where you are. I'll add a close-up of the phone."
◆◇◆
In the evening, when Ye Yuze was acting with He Tong, he received a video call from Fang Chen.
"I knew you two would be together. I just contacted Lingling. She'll be over with the tablet soon. You two can take a look."
Just then, there was a knock on the door. He Tong called out, "Come in, the door is unlocked," and Lingling came in with a tablet.
"Boss, little boss, please take a look at this Weibo post."
He Tong took the tablet and looked down at it with Ye Yuze.
What is displayed above is a Weibo post.
[Let me show you two handsome guys I stumbled upon! They are such a perfect match, I’m sold! #TogetherBlueChildren#] The picture below shows He Tong and Ye Yuze sitting under a parasol, with He Tong holding a spoon and reaching towards the opposite side.
He Yitong smiled: "It was actually photographed. It's a pretty good photo. It must have been taken by Dapao. I didn't even notice it that day."
He scrolled up and saw that the post had been forwarded over a thousand times and had nearly three hundred comments. He casually clicked on the comments and took a look.
[Huh? I've never seen this before. With such a beautiful face, they must be celebrities, right? Thirty seconds! I need their profile!]
Blogger's reply: This was taken at the food street outside the movie studio. I can't tell if they're new or just tourists. I asked around but no one knew them, so I'm posting this in this thread. [Sad face]] [Aaaaaah! So handsome! Sunny, big boy x cool, elegant young man! I can do it!! Help me up, I can still eat.jpg] [Hehe, those handsome guys sitting together are a feast for the eyes. My eyes say they're so tempting.] [Am I the only one wondering if that spoon made it into their mouth?
The blogger replied: "No, it was probably just a joke. The little brother took it back and ate it himself." [laugh cry] [laugh cry] [laugh cry]] [The top comments are still okay. Two handsome guys like these, no one's licking them? Then get out of the way and let me do it! The screen's dirty, I'll lick it.jpg] He Tong then dug into the "Blue Kids Together" super topic and found that it was full of photos of boys together, some daily, some cosplay. There weren't many celebrities, and the comments were all girls shipping the couple. Perhaps because of the low traffic, it was quite peaceful, with no sharp comments.
Ye Yuze looked up and asked, "Did you put this up? Are you open for business?"
Fang Chen immediately protested: "How could I do that? I wouldn't dare do anything without asking you!"
Lingling explained, "This is a pretty famous fangirl in the industry. Her main account posts videos of celebrities, and this one posts photos of her everyday life. This one was taken when she went to the movie studio to take photos of her idol last time."
Fang Chen continued, "It was posted ten days ago, and it only made a small splash in that super topic. What do you think? Should we hire some influencers and trending searches to push it forward?"
Ye Yuze asked back: "You are the agent, what do you think?"
"Well..." Fang Chen pondered for a moment, "You guys aren't going for traffic, so there's no need to promote anyone before you have any works. But it would be a shame not to capitalize on this free popularity... He Tong, what do you think?"
He Tong rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "You're right. There's no need to promote people before you have a work. Lingling, please follow this topic. When your work is ready for promotion, you can bring this blog post up and promote it."
"Okay." Lingling nodded and opened the notepad on her phone to write it down.
The next day we continued shooting the exterior scenes.
While touring the mountains, Bai Ruyun suddenly lamented that he hadn't bought any painting supplies beforehand, and now he couldn't paint even if he wanted to. So, upon returning to the mountain town that evening, Yu Chu knocked on every door, asking if anyone had any painting supplies for sale. Finally, a family's granddaughter had some left over from her holiday stay, and Yu Chu bought them all. The next day, Yu Chu gave Bai Ruyun his drawing board, pens, paints, and other tools, and then got him out to paint.
He Tong had already filmed the scene where he knocked on the door to buy painting supplies at the studio. Now all he had to do was shoot the two parts before and after.
Yu Zheng was delighted that Ye Yuze had studied watercolor painting, so he could film him painting directly without having to edit and splice the pieces together in post-production. Since he had plenty of time, he decided to film the entire painting process, which would give him more material to work with later.
Of course, the final paintings would still be prepared by the production crew. After all, the artist in the play is highly skilled, and the artist's renewed love for life would need to be gradually expressed through several paintings. This level of artistry is beyond the reach of the average amateur. Yu Zheng had already commissioned a series of paintings with his friends several years ago.
The painting used for this exterior scene has also been delivered. Ye Yuze only needs to paint according to it and then replace the painting in the final shot.
He Tong only had a few shots. After the filming, he sat aside and watched Ye Yuze paint. The more he watched, the more he felt that Brother Ye was a genius and could do everything.
Just as I was watching intently, Lingling came over.
"Little Boss, there's something fishy about that Weibo post last night."
"Hmm?" He Tong reluctantly withdrew his gaze. "Could it be that Han or something saw it and wanted Brother Heiye?"
"No, someone is blackmailing you."
"I?"
He Tong took the tablet and looked at it curiously.
I saw that the top comment under yesterday’s Weibo post had been replaced.
[The guy on the left is a candidate for Yanchuan this year. I ran into him during the art exam. His acting is terrible, he probably didn't even get in. Is he trying to become famous by being gay and then debut? It's easy to fool CP fans. If he has so much energy for hype, why doesn't he just practice his acting skills?] "Ha!" He Tong laughed out loud.
However, the replies below did not incite people to curse at themselves. It might be that the girls in this super topic are used to being Buddhist.
You can't say that, right? Can't they be good friends traveling together? Sister Huahua said it was just a chance photo. [What's going on? Is there a rumor? I'll leave one ear here. If you want to dig deeper, please dig deeper.] [Student for Yan Chuan? Does that mean she'll debut in the future? Just based on her looks, I'm looking forward to it.] [The sister above is right. If you really want to hype it up, go find a marketing account. Sister Huahua's smurf account has no traffic at all.] [Anyone predict that a marketing account will share it soon?]
I don't know if the young man's acting is any good, but I do know the host's eyes are red with envy at his meager traffic. Lingling asked, "That person only reposted this one comment and didn't say anything else. Maybe they want to wait until we officially launch the promotion before digging it up and continuing to criticize us."
He Tong snorted lightly: "I suspect this person really failed the exam. He doesn't even know the Yanchuan tradition."
Yan Chuan had previously contacted He Tong, inviting him to speak as a student representative at the opening ceremony. However, due to his busy filming schedule, He Tong could only spare one day and declined. Furthermore, his high score on the arts exam was thanks to his rebirth, so he willingly gave the opportunity to the second-place finisher.
"Alright," He Tong waved his hand, "It's a small matter, I'll contact my second brother to handle it."
