Chapter 58
As soon as Ye Lingchen and Lu Yijin appeared on the set, many people recognized them. Everyone originally thought that Jing Jianchen and Ye Lingchen's confession was purely for the effect of the show, but they didn't expect that the two had such a good relationship in private, and Jing Jianchen actually brought people with him to the set.
Lu Yijin, who was somewhat socially anxious, noticed the many gazes on them. He quietly hid behind Ye Lingchen and said, "Ye Chenchen, they are all looking at us."
"Just let them look. I'm so handsome, let them see me and feast their eyes." Ye Lingchen spread his feathers everywhere like a proud little peacock.
It was his first time on the set, and he was particularly curious about the various equipment, the actors and staff running around. A little girl ran over with a blushing face, "Ye Chenchen, can Lu Xiaojin give me an autograph?"
"Is it my name?"
The little girl nodded. Although Ye Lingchen didn't know why she wanted his autograph, he still wrote his name on the little girl's notebook. He was not very good at using a hard pen yet, so his signature was crooked and looked ugly but cute.
Lu Yijin also blushed as he signed his name. The little girl excitedly stomped her feet twice, then ran off with her notebook, "I'm a die-hard fan of both of you. I'm rooting for you two as a couple!"
Ye Lingchen looked at the strange little girl who didn't understand what he was saying at all, while Lu Yijin, who was standing next to him, had a flushed face.
"Lu Xiaojin, why does she want our autographs?"
"Because she likes me both."
Ye Lingchen seemed to understand what he said, but he felt that girls in this era were much more unrestrained than those in ancient times. It turned out that if you like someone, you have to ask for his autograph.
When the other crew members saw that someone had successfully obtained an autograph, many of them surrounded him to ask for autographs and take photos. Ye Lingchen was blocked in the middle by a group of girls. He was at a loss for what to do, fearing that he would bump into them, and his face turned red. Lu Yijin was even more shy and wanted to hide behind Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen has always been an extrovert in variety shows. What does shyness mean to him?
But he couldn't handle so many girls. He and Lu Yijin were surrounded in the middle, and they looked like the ones being molested.
Seeing the two little cuties like this, the girls became even more excited, "Ahhh, Ye Chenchen is actually shy, hahaha~"
"Ye Chenchen, give Mommy an autograph. Mommy loves you so much~"
Ye Lingchen, who was surrounded by people saying they liked the girl, had never seen anything like this before. He wanted to reach out and make a way to run quickly, but he was afraid of accidentally touching the girl's arm.
In the end, it was Qin Jinyan who appeared and rescued the two from the crowd.
Ye Lingchen came out sweating profusely, "Brother, why are you here?"
"Inspecting the work." Qin Jinyan took the breakfast and milk tea brought by the assistant behind him and handed them to the little crybaby. It turned out that the little crybaby's eyes would be tearful when he was shy.
Ye Lingchen unceremoniously took a cup of delicious-looking fruit tea from his assistant.
Qin Jinyan asked softly with a smile on his face, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I ate it." Lu Yijin nodded obediently.
As soon as he saw the CEO coming, the director quickly led the crew's leadership over, "Hello, President Qin, hello, President Qin." What good luck had his small crew gotten today? President Qin actually came to visit the set! You have to know that he is a small and unknown director who only sees President Qin a few times a year. The director was simply flattered.
"Don't be nervous, I just came to take a look today, you guys go about your business." Qin Jinyan waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse. Several secretaries and assistants he brought with him were distributing the milk tea and cakes they brought to the crew.
The packaging of the things Qin Jinyan brought to Lu Yijin and Ye Lingchen was much more exquisite than those of others.
"Can I add a little green goose?" Qin Jinyan handed his cell phone to Lu Yijin.
Lu Yijin originally didn't want to get involved with Qin Jinyan, but he couldn't refuse in front of so many people, so he had to scan Qin Jinyan's QR code. Qin Jinyan waited for a long time but didn't see the friend invitation from the other party. "Is it done?"
Lu Yijin, who scanned but didn't want to add the contact, had to take out his phone and click send request. Qin Jinyan was in a particularly good mood after finally getting the contact information.
"Hero Feng Qingyang! Hero Feng Qingyang!" Ye Lingchen saw a familiar figure and ran over, holding his fruit tea. However, the man in ancient costume in front of him didn't stop, so Ye Lingchen quickly chased after him. "It really is you! I really like your photo of Hero Feng Qingyang!"
Zhao Zeyu didn't see clearly who the person was and thought it was a fanatical fan. He said impatiently, "Get out of the way! You're blocking my way."
Ye Lingchen was still immersed in the joy of meeting his favorite hero and didn't hear Zhao Zeyu's dissatisfaction at all. "The hero you played was so cool. I always wanted to be a hero like you, but my... my brother wouldn't let me."
Zhao Zeyu looked at the person in front of him and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Could such a superior appearance be a new employee signed by the company? Zhao Zeyu felt jealous and reached out to push the person in front of him away, "I said get out of the way."
Ye Lingchen staggered after being pushed, and the fruit tea in his hand fell to the ground. Zhao Zeyu's costume, which almost reached the ground, was splashed with purple-red juice.
Zhao Zeyu's expression became even uglier, "You!"
Ye Lingchen was pushed and was still confused. Feng Qingyang in the TV series was clearly a hero who eliminated evil and promoted good, and helped the needy. How could he be like this in reality? The image of Feng Qingyang as a hero in Ye Lingchen's mind was shattered.
"You've soiled my costume!" He said this and tried to push Ye Lingchen. Ye Lingchen reacted and pushed him back. Zhao Zeyu, who was wearing a height-increasing insole, lost his balance and fell flat on his face.
"You dare to push me!" Zhao Zeyu shouted so loudly that everyone around looked over.
When Lu Yijin saw Ye Lingchen arguing with someone, he quickly ran over and asked, "Ye Chenchen, are you okay?"
"fine."
"You're fine, but I'm fine. Not only did you dirty my costume, you even dared to push me!" Zhao Zeyu was a third-tier star after all, so he had never suffered such a loss before. "Who brought this person here? Get him out!"
"The person I brought here." A cold voice came from the side. When Jing Jianchen finished putting on makeup and came out, he saw someone bullying Ye Lingchen. He pulled Ye Lingchen behind him.
"Chen, Brother Chen?" Zhao Zeyu was helped up from the ground by his assistant. The arrogant Zhao Zeyu immediately changed his expression to one of grievance. "Brother Chen, look, not only did he dirty my costume, but he also pushed me."
Ye Lingchen was almost shocked by this man's skill in changing his expression. "It was you who pushed me first, knocking over my fruit tea and spilling it on you. Don't play innocent here."
"I didn't push you." Zhao Zeyu said aggrievedly.
"Does your mother know that you are so good at confusing right and wrong?" Ye Lingchen rolled his eyes at him and thought for himself.
"Brother Chen, look at him, he refuses to admit it in front of so many people." Zhao Zeyu looked like he had been bullied.
"You started it."
“Who said that!”
"I said it." Qin Jinyan walked over. When he was talking to the little crybaby just now, he happened to see Ye Lingchen from his direction.
Zhao Zeyu turned around and saw the man in a suit standing behind him. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground again. "Qin, Mr. Qin."
"Apologize." Qin Jinyan said with a cold face.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong." Zhao Zeyu apologized hurriedly.
"Let's go."
After getting permission, Zhao Zeyu was quickly helped away by his assistant.
Jing Jianchen dragged the dazed man away, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
The image of a hero in Ye Lingchen's mind was shattered, which made him a little difficult to accept. "Master, Feng Qingyang is obviously a very powerful hero, but why is he like this?"
Jing Jianchen understood what he was saying, "An actor's role cannot be directly equated with his or her own qualities, understand?"
Ye Lingchen nodded, not quite understanding.
As soon as he left, Lu Yijin followed him, and Qin Jinyan had no choice but to follow.
Jing Jianchen settled them under the shade of a tree and said, "I only have one scene this morning. We'll go home after I finish filming."
Qin Jinyan wanted to stay with the little crybaby on the crew, but he had to go back because of something urgent at the company. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell the two of them to call him if they had any problems.
As soon as Qin Jinyan left, the atmosphere on the crew became lively, and many people were whispering about something.
After what happened just now, Ye Lingchen lost interest in watching the crew. He and Lu Yijin sat on chairs and watched Jing Jianchen filming. From time to time, a young lady came over to feed them.
When Jing Jianchen took a break, they were surrounded by all kinds of snacks. Ye Lingchen really liked a bag of small cookies. He held it up to Jing Jianchen and said, "Master, this is delicious."
Jing Jianchen took one and tasted it, glanced at the package and wrote down the name, and then went back to buy some for Ye Lingchen to keep at home.
Today was the first time that Ye Lingchen saw Jing Jianchen wearing ancient costume in modern society. At first glance, he felt as if he was back in the days when he was in the palace. He felt that his family's tutor was more suitable for wearing ancient costume, which made him look particularly broad-shouldered and long-legged, handsome, and even had a hint of hermit temperament that was detached from the world.
"Master, what are you acting in there?"
"A minister with unfulfilled ambitions finally died on the imperial steps for giving advice." Jing Jianchen chose a guest role because he had to participate in a variety show in a while. He liked the role very much and agreed to let the director come to shoot for a few days.
Ye Lingchen felt a little unhappy when he heard that this character died in the end.
"Taifu, what happened to you and my brother after I died?"
"I don't quite remember."
During intermission, the director was furious. "What? The actor playing the young prince crashed his bicycle into a telephone pole?"
The director wanted to curse, "Why are you riding a bicycle when you have nothing to do? You're just asking for trouble! Where can I find someone now?"
The director was extremely anxious. The actor who hit the electric pole played a spoiled prince in the play. He didn't appear in many scenes, but the book described him as a person with a face like a flower in the spring morning, eyebrows like ink painting, and eyes like autumn waves. Although he didn't appear much, the character had high requirements!
Where could he find such a guest character in such a short time? The director, who was wandering around like a headless fly, suddenly saw Ye Lingchen sitting under the shade of a tree. His eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't this the Ninth Prince in the book!
The director trotted over to Ye Lingchen and said, "Teacher Jing is resting."
"Director, what's going on?"
"I'm here to see Teacher Xiaoye." The director fawningly picked up his fan and fanned Ye Lingchen twice. "Teacher Xiaoye, are you interested in playing a role?"
Ye Lingchen, who was leisurely lounging in a chair, was suddenly called out. He asked curiously, "What role?"
The director saw that there was a scene and quickly said, "It's about a young prince. There aren't many shots. It can be shot in two or three days."
Jing Jianchen raised his eyebrows, he knew this character, he had some rival scenes with this character in the past few days, a royal family member who did not appear much, and it was this character who collected the body of his character.
When Ye Lingchen heard it was the little prince, he became interested. What acting was there? He was a little prince to begin with. He immediately agreed, "Okay, okay."
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, come quickly and take Teacher Xiao Ye to put on makeup." When the director heard that someone agreed, he was afraid that she would go back on her word, so he quickly had someone take her to the dressing room.
Ye Lingchen left, and Lu Yijin, his little tail, followed him.
Jing Jianchen glanced in the direction of the dressing room. He was extremely looking forward to seeing Ye Lingchen changing into his costume.
Half an hour later, a young prince came out wearing a white brocade robe with auspicious cloud patterns, a white jade hollow crown inlaid with gold gems on his head, and two golden tassels hanging from his shoulders.
Everyone looked over at the same time, and the crew, which was bustling just now, fell silent for a moment. The young man who walked over had long black hair half hanging behind him. His appearance was as dazzling as the bright moon at night. His dark and deep eyes were shining with a charming color. His nose was high and straight, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. Especially his whole demeanor, everything about him showed nobility and elegance.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, it seemed as if the person walking over was a noble prince of the royal family, and the aura emanating from him made people dare not look directly at him.
Ye Lingchen, dressed in his costume, came straight to Jing Jianchen. He quickly opened his folding fan and spun around in front of him like a little peacock. "How is it? Not bad, right? But this dress and hair crown are too shoddy."
The implication was that this garment was not worthy of his noble status as a young prince. Ye Lingchen tugged at the wide sleeves and said, "It's a far cry from my old clothes. The embroidery on my clothes was done by Suzhou embroiderers, and the material was worth a thousand gold coins per inch."
Ye Lingchen wanted to tug at the hair crown on his head, but Jing Jianchen stopped him by holding his hand, "Don't move, your hair will get messy in a moment."
Ye Lingchen put his hand down in disdain. He grumbled to Jing Jianchen in a low voice, "Master, when have I ever worn a fake plastic headpiece like this? I'm so broke."
Jing Jianchen smiled slightly, "If you like it, I'll go back and make a few for you."
"No, no, I can't wear it even if I have short hair now." Ye Lingchen missed the days of luxury and debauchery in the prince's mansion.
Lu Yijin was like a bee, circling around Ye Lingchen, her eyes wide open, filled with amazement, "Ye Chenchen, you are so beautiful!"
Ye Lingchen hummed proudly after being praised, "Of course, who am I?"
Ye Lingchen had been out for quite some time when the director, stunned by her beauty, finally realized, "It really is the Ninth Prince from the book! Come on, Teacher Xiao Ye, let me explain the play to you."
When Ye Lingchen appeared in this costume, many little girls blushed and raised their mobile phones to take pictures. Ye Lingchen's ancient costume was really amazing!
The first scene to be filmed is the Ninth Prince's appearance, and he is acting with the second male lead Zhao Zeyu. The Ninth Prince in the script is a prince without real power, but he is a very upright person. What he despises most are the villains in the court. Zhao Zeyu's role is the villain Wei Qianji in the play, a powerful official with a high position of power.
Ye Lingchen's first scene was to attend Wei Qianji's mother's 60th birthday party. Ye Lingchen thought this was not difficult. Wasn't this just letting him act out his true self?
In the camera, an exquisite rosewood sedan was carefully placed on the ground by the sedan bearer. A servant came forward and lifted the curtain of the sedan. The noble-looking Ninth Prince leaned forward slightly and got out of the sedan.
Zhao Zeyu, who played Wei Qianji, hurried over and bowed deeply, "Long live the Ninth Prince."
Seeing Zhao Zeyu saluting him, Ye Lingchen felt a little relieved. Who cares? It was a salute to him anyway.
Originally, Ye Lingchen was going to walk into the inner courtyard after receiving the greetings, but he stood there without moving. The director waited for a while and called "Cut," "Teacher Xiao Ye, it's time to go in after reciting your lines."
"Oh, I forgot."
The director had no choice but to have Ye Lingchen start from the scene where he got out of the sedan chair. Zhao Zeyu's face immediately fell. When he went to change his clothes, he remembered who this person was. Wasn't he the amateur who is now being hyped as a couple with Jing Jianchen? He had no background and no family background.
Ye Lingchen, who was playing the Ninth Prince, walked over. Zhao Zeyu had no choice but to bow to him again. "Long live the Ninth Prince."
"No need to be so polite." The disgust and impatience on Ye Lingchen's face were three parts acting and seven parts genuine feelings, which perfectly showed the Ninth Prince's disgust for powerful officials. Ye Lingchen silently complained in his heart, what a pity, it would be better if Zhao Zeyu could kneel down for him.
In this scene, Ye Lingchen has the highest status and position. As soon as he comes in, he naturally sits on the main seat, serves tea, and drinks water. This set of actions fully demonstrates the demeanor of an ancient prince.
Zhao Zeyu was so overwhelmed in front of him that he couldn't even raise his head. Ye Lingchen didn't have many lines to begin with, he just needed to give a gift and say a few words of congratulations.
Ye Lingchen took a brocade box from the servant behind him and said, "Master Wei, I will give you a piece of writing to congratulate the old lady on her birthday."
Zhao Zeyu was filled with dissatisfaction in front of Ye Lingchen, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Cut, Mr. Zhao, don't stand so straight, and the expression on your face is wrong." The director was almost holding up a small loudspeaker and saying, "Brother, you are a traitor, not a brainless fool." The expression on his face was almost as if he wanted to beat up the person in the seat.
At first I thought Zhao Zeyu had a good temperament, but when he acted with Ye Lingchen, he looked unbearable. If Zhao Zeyu changed into simple clothes, people would believe he was the prince and his servant.
"Got it." Zhao Zeyu swallowed a breath and did it three more times as the director required before passing.
Ye Lingchen sat comfortably on the chair. At the beginning, he sat upright on the main seat, but in the next two times, he simply leaned on the table leisurely, and even supported his chin with one hand out of boredom. This posture made the dignified prince look more contemptuous and indifferent to the treacherous ministers, but it did not make people feel that this posture damaged the dignity of a prince.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Zeyu's expression collapsed again, and the director had no choice but to call cut. Ye Lingchen felt exhausted. How could someone be so stupid? He stretched out his white fingers and fiddled with the grapes on the table. "Hurry up, I'm hungry."
Jing Jianchen had a smile in his eyes as he stood by. He knew that the little hedgehog was not the type to suffer any loss.
Zhao Zeyu took two more attempts before he barely passed. Ye Lingchen continued with his own performance. He stood up and left the main seat. When he passed by Jing Jianchen's character, he nodded slightly at him. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Jing Jianchen bowed his head respectfully. The little prince left surrounded by the crowd.
As soon as Ye Lingchen finished filming this scene, Lu Xiaofeng surrounded him and offered him water. "Ye Chenchen, do you want some water? Are you hot? Are you hungry?"
This set of three consecutive greetings made the little girl next to her laugh out loud. Why does Lu Xiaojin look so much like Ye Chenchen's mother?
"Not bad." Ye Lingchen had just filmed a scene, so he didn't find it strange to watch the crew.
Lu Yijin started to flatter him again, "Ye Chenchen, you're amazing! You acted so well in your first filming!"
"Ye Lingchen, change your clothes and let's go back." Jing Jianchen called everyone back to the dressing room to remove their makeup.
Looking at Lu Yijin who was always sticking to Ye Lingchen, Jing Jianchen felt a little headache. Wherever Lu Yijin was, most of Ye Lingchen's attention would be diverted.
Although he did not agree with Qin Jinyan pretending to be Ye Lingchen's royal brother, he strongly agreed with Qin Jinyan to take action quickly to get rid of the person.
Photos of the filming site were leaked that night. In the photos, the young man in ancient costume had a face as white as jade and was very handsome. His moon-white brocade clothes made the surrounding scenery dim.
In particular, a candid photo of Ye Lingchen getting out of a sedan with his back half bent was widely forwarded, attracting many passers-by and netizens to come and ask who he was.
[Ahhh, this little brother is so handsome, the way he looks up is killing me! ]
[Newcomer? How come I haven't seen him before? When did such a handsome guy appear in the entertainment industry?!]
[Is this a renaissance? I finally see an actor with such good manners!]
[Ye Lingchen, Ye Lingchen, he is my Ye Chenchen! ]
[Chenzi, why didn't you say anything and went to film? Are you going to give mom a surprise?!]
The person who originally sent out the photos was a little fan of Ye Lingchen in the crew. Unexpectedly, this set of photos became popular, and an entry #叶凌辰古装# followed by a hot word slowly climbed up.
The crew of Nansang Dynasty saw that this was a hit and directly reposted it using the crew's official account, "The new Ninth Prince, the editor is really a fan (≧≦)"
[Nan Sang Dynasty? Never heard of it.]
【Wow, Jing Jianchen is here too! 】
[Why keep all these handsome guys hidden? Good things should be shared early, understand?]
[Your crew is reluctant to even spend money on publicity. I've never heard of this.]
The popularity of Ye Lingchen's photo directly brought fame to the drama "Nansang Dynasty". The director was so excited that tears came to his eyes when he saw the crew that was also on the hot search. He also wanted to spend money on publicity, but the funds for his drama were limited. Among the many IPs of Shengtian Media, he was just an inconspicuous little grasshopper.
The biggest star in the whole show is Jing Jianchen who came to make a guest appearance. He only has a few shots left and will be offline in two days. He is almost heartbroken.
