Chapter 27 Completely dominated by desire...
In mid-April, when the filming of Building No. 8 was progressing smoothly, the film Qingye finally made up the funding gap after Ouga withdrew its investment and announced the start of filming.
In view of the previous farces, the Qingye crew failed to hype the show and was fired instead, and its reputation declined before it even started filming.
Therefore, at the opening ceremony, in order to prevent the media from asking inappropriate questions, the crew was extremely strict and only invited a few media outlets with which they had good relations to enter.
It’s a pity that although the media’s press release looks good, netizens and viewers just don’t buy it.
[Oh my god, I’ve been so busy focusing on all the materials on Building 8 that I forgot there’s even a “Qing Ye.”]
[+1, you spent so much energy on hype before, but in the end you got slapped in the face, didn’t you? 】
[I’m dying of laughter. When other companies start filming, they promote it as vigorously as possible, but Qingye has to consider how to cover his mouth first. Is that unique? If you are so scared, why not just turn it on quietly? You really want both. 】
[It is said that only three or five media outlets went there, and they were probably paid hush money. Even the articles they wrote were all the same, with nothing new. 】
[They don't dare to let other media in, otherwise if they ask about Bai Youlai, wouldn't it seem that they are blind and cruel? 】
[Bai You's popularity and number of fans have increased very rapidly recently. I guess they must be regretting this a long time ago? You deserve it! 】
[My goodness, why is Wei Enquan's smile uglier than crying this time? When he pushed his colleague down, wasn't he smiling brightly? 】
[According to people who were at the scene, because he affected Qingye's reputation, the two leading actors had a very average attitude towards him. 】
[It's just flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak. Although it is true that Wei Enquan is a masochist, can what he, a third-rate actor, say has everything to do with it? I don't dare to offend the investor so I just take it out on him. 】
[Why does Qingye give people the feeling that everyone is evil from top to bottom? 】
[No matter what, Wei Enquan really deserves it. How proud he was at the beginning is how embarrassed he is now. He deserves it! 】
【……】
The popularity of Qingye's launch was not very high, and the comments on the screen did not scroll very fast, so Wei Enquan was able to see every one of them clearly.
At this moment, the media had retreated, and he no longer pretended. The "smile that was uglier than crying" on his face had long since disappeared, leaving only gloom in his eyes.
"Xiao Wei, why are you sitting here?" He Dajin came in carelessly, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Wei Enquan's posture and expression, "Who really cares about what those people on the Internet say?"
He came over and pulled him, "Come on, come on, Brother Yu is already waiting for you in the car."
Wei Enquan then turned off his phone and followed He Dajin out.
After acting for a whole morning, Feng Yu was already a little tired and was leaning back in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed to rest.
Wei Enquan was going to sit next to Feng Yu, so He Dajin naturally got on the passenger seat.
As the two people got in, the car shook slightly, and Feng Yu tilted his head and opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?" He glanced at Wei Enquan nonchalantly, "Are you unhappy?"
"No." Wei Enquan said.
"If it were me, I wouldn't be happy either. This suppression at first and then promotion actually helped Bai You." When mentioning Bai You, He Dajin unconsciously licked the gold tooth in his mouth again and said coldly, "His popularity is no longer the same as before."
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and sneered.
"The design of Building No. 8 is really amazing. When Bai You's design and Reuters' photos came out, wow," He Dajin said with a click of his tongue. "Don't mention it. Some of my friends are so fascinated by it..."
"Humph," Feng Yu sneered from behind, "Who dares to snatch someone from me?"
"That's right, that's right." He Dajin immediately flattered, "We took every precaution, but we didn't expect to fail in Building No. 8."
Feng Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "I heard that Old Wu is in Building No. 8 recently?"
"Yes," He Dajin said, "I am working as an assistant behind the master."
"Contact him," Feng Yu said, "We'll go check on his class later."
Hearing this, He Dajin grinned happily.
"Okay," he said, "We've been working together, so we have some friendship. It's only natural for me to come over and visit the studio."
Feng Yu then leaned back in his seat and tilted his head to look at Wei Enquan who had remained silent.
"The film has started shooting, so stop looking so sad." Feng Yu said, "Isn't the third male lead I promised you now a sure thing?"
Wei Enquan lowered his head and forced a smile with difficulty.
"With your acting skills," Feng Yu sneered, "you can't even put on a smile, how can you expect to be in Liu Ben's movie?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Enquan’s body stiffened.
He knew very well that Feng Yu could not hide this matter from him.
But he refused to admit defeat: "It's impossible that all the good things are taken by Bai You alone, right?"
Feng Yu looked at him and suddenly sneered, with sarcasm in his eyes and eyebrows.
Compared to the last time they met, Feng Yu had lost a lot of weight, so the harsh look between his brows seemed even sharper.
Recently, the projects he was working on had problems one after another as if it was pre-arranged, but they were not completely dead.
Give up, all you lose is money.
Rescue it, it will be laborious and time-consuming, but there is no guarantee of success, and the loss may be even greater.
It was as if it was placed on a scale, the question swung left and right just right without tipping the scale over.
Feng Yu had no choice but to become a hopeful gambler, running around every day, hoping that the scales would have a chance to tip towards resurrection.
He was so busy during this period that if Qingye hadn't started filming today, he would have had no time to come back.
For Feng Yu, who was used to a carefree life, this kind of life was undoubtedly extremely difficult to endure.
But even so, he never missed Bai You's movements.
Compared to his previous mostly casual attire, which was refreshing and beautiful as if it were glowing, in Building No. 8, the young man showed a completely different side of himself.
Noble, elegant, superior...
As soon as that invisible sense of abstinence came out, even his bones felt soft.
So, during this period of time, he really wanted to see him day and night.
I just regret that I am always too busy to do everything.
"Let me tell you," Hearing Wei Enquan's indignation, he couldn't help but sneer, "God really wants to give him all the good things, do you believe it?"
The corners of Wei Enquan's mouth twitched with difficulty, but in the end, he couldn't even maintain the smile he had forced out before.
Bai You is indeed different from him.
No matter how he tries to deceive himself, he has to face this obvious fact.
At least, Feng Yu was still somewhat sincere towards him.
Even the suppression before was just a small warning after the pursuit failed, a small means to force people to be by his side...
In the few years that Wei Enquan has been with Feng Yu, he has never seen him be so patient with anyone.
And I am just one of the tools Feng Yu uses to force Bai You.
This is also one of the reasons why Wei Enquan hates Bai You so much.
Why in such an environment could he still stick to his beliefs, not back down, not give in, not flatter, like a rock, hypocritical and noble?
And he had to sell himself out in order to seek a better development path?
However, even if he sold himself out, he can only be stuck in the circle of the second and third male lead until now, and as for big productions, he can't even touch them.
But Bai You easily got the role in Building No. 8.
This made him look like a clown and was extremely embarrassing.
Especially the expression on Feng Yu's face at this moment, which hurt him deeply.
"Didn't you eventually lose patience with him and no longer want to wait for him to be willing, but wanted to get him with drugs?" He sneered, "It might not be a good thing for him, right?"
"Oh my," He Dajin, who was standing in front of him, couldn't help but make a noise of ridicule, "How come even Xiao Wei has become irritable after not seeing him for a while?"
Feng Yu, on the other hand, probably knew that the next words would be a bigger blow to Wei Enquan, so he was not very angry.
"Do you know why I suddenly did this?" he asked.
Wei Enquan didn't say anything, but in fact, he was also curious about Feng Yu's sudden change in attitude towards Bai You.
"I have some friendship with Director Liu's assistant," Feng Yu said. "I invited him for a drink last time and got some information out of him. Director Liu still wants Bai You as the male lead for his next movie."
Upon hearing this, Wei Enquan's heart suddenly choked.
While being torn by extreme jealousy and injustice, he had already understood why Feng Yu suddenly changed his strategy.
With Liu Ben's influence in the circle, his films are not like those of a small crew like "Qingye" that can allow Feng Yu to interfere, or even directly control him.
It can be said that every one of Liu Ben's movies is bound to be a hit. If Bai You really gets involved with Liu Ben again, not to mention that Liu Ben can easily protect Bai You with his ability, it is just that if he becomes popular again, it will be difficult for him to be controlled and manipulated.
That's why Feng Yu lost his composure and could no longer sit back and relax.
He had to resort to other means in order to keep Bai You tightly in his hands.
But maybe even he didn’t expect it?
There was no movement from Liu Ben's side, but Bai You suddenly entered Building No. 8.
For a moment, Wei Enquan didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
Compared to Liu Ben, which one in Building No. 8 is more suitable?
Not to mention the influence of the main investors Zhao Yunzhuang, Qin Jianhe and Meng Qingyan, just talking about director Zhou Lian, he is not much worse than Liu Ben.
Jealousy had long been deeply rooted in his heart, but at this moment, Wei Enquan felt a little gloating towards Feng Yu.
He turned his head away for a moment, not wanting Feng Yu to see his true emotions.
"I don't believe that Bai You could have resisted the drug I gave him that day, twice as much." He turned back after a moment, "As long as you can find evidence that he fooled around with someone else that night, even if Building No. 8 has already started filming, we can still destroy him and make him return to your hands obediently, and he will never be able to turn over again."
"When the time comes," he approached Feng Yu intimately and whispered, "Isn't Bai You just a little toy that you can do whatever you want with?"
"This is a good idea." He Dajin in front slapped his thigh, extremely excited.
In comparison, Feng Yu is very calm.
"Don't tell me you haven't followed this line of investigation?" he asked Wei Enquan.
"Yige's backstage seems to be very strong," Wei Enquan said, "I can't retrieve the surveillance footage from that night."
Hearing this, Feng Yu crossed his legs with a smile and said nothing more.
*
After a spring rain, the temperature began to rise gradually. The flowers in the flower beds gradually bloomed, and the lawn also showed tender new buds. The whole courtyard suddenly became full of vitality.
When Zhou Lian looked at the weather forecast a few days ago, he had already decided to take advantage of the best sunshine at noon today to reshoot the swimming pool scene that was missed due to the temperature drop some time ago.
There are many swimming scenes in Building No. 8.
For this reason, the crew spent a lot of money to build a swimming pool in the yard.
One day in advance, Meng Qingyan called his mother and asked her to prepare some soup to ward off the cold.
Shen Yueting was very surprised.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Meng Shizhao, "It was winter when we were filming Burning Heart. I rolled in the mud and water without complaining to my family. How come you suddenly know how to take care of your body recently?"
Meng Shizhao is watching today's news.
Although the times have developed and electronic information has become more convenient, he still likes to read paper newspapers due to the habit he developed when he was young.
Hearing this, he put the newspaper down and hummed.
Shen Yueting is funny.
"Both father and son should let go of their worries and stop pretending," she said, raising her hand to press the mask on her face to prevent it from deforming.
"Then let Aunt Lu stew it and send it to him tomorrow." Meng Shizhao said, and then criticized Meng Qingyan, "You have to endure the hardship when you have a good life."
"That is to say, who does this look like?" Shen Yueting teased, "Back then, the jewelry store left by my father was enough to provide a comfortable living for the whole family. You also had to endure hardships and transform yourself to build Meng's."
Meng Shizhao was speechless for a moment.
Shen Yueting said: "If he wants to go in and train, then he can go. He didn't say he won't come back to take over in the future."
"Just spoil him." Meng Shizhao complained, but his tone showed only helplessness and doting on Shen Yueting.
Shen Yueting smiled, and his thoughts returned to Meng Qingyan.
"I was just wondering," she said, "whether this child has someone he likes."
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible, and she told Meng Shizhao, "He even asked me for donkey-hide gelatin paste a while ago."
"Who would like him?" Meng Shizhao said, "Look at Xiaoyu, he took over early and managed QL in an orderly manner. He only knows how to play."
"Oh," Shen Yueting didn't think so. She had a very thick mother filter. "Ren Zhi is several years older than him, isn't he playing too?"
She expressed her own opinion, "The older generation endured hardships just to make their children live a more comfortable life. Besides, he has taken over Tianying and is running it well."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Knowing that Meng Shizhao couldn't bear to hear such words, she patted his shoulder and said, "When you find a partner in the future, it will be fine if someone takes care of you."
Meng Shizhao didn't think that anyone could control this lawless thing in his family, and he couldn't help but snort.
"You are weak, so don't worry about him all day long," he said. "I don't think he would have starved to death without his parents."
Shen Yueting raised her face and took off the mask, saying cunningly, "Tomorrow, I'll ask Uncle Wang to secretly see who he gave the soup to."
Meng Shizhao was also somewhat curious about her, but he still looked arrogant and said nonchalantly, "Okay."
At noon the next day, Feng Yu generously ordered milk tea and fruit baskets for the entire crew of Building No. 8 in the name of visiting Wu Bo's team, the camera assistant of Building No. 8.
But when he arrived, everyone had not yet finished get off work. Even Wu Bo was very busy, following the cameraman and preparing for the next shot.
Seeing him coming, Wu Bo only had time to say thank you and then hurried back again.
Outsiders were not allowed to enter the set, and Feng Yu was only allowed in because he had contacted Wu Bo in advance and greeted the gatekeeper.
At this moment, there were busy staff all around, and Zhou Lian was also sitting in front of the monitor concentrating. He didn't dare to go forward to disturb them, but just stood a little outside and stared.
Someone was setting up equipment by the pool, and the photographer had already changed into a professional diving suit and put on a small oxygen device.
Obviously, this is to shoot the swimming pool scene.
Feng Yu smiled with interest and felt that he was quite lucky.
Maybe I can see Baiyou in a swimsuit.
But soon he was disappointed.
Bai You was indeed going to shoot a swimming scene, but he was wearing a swimsuit that only exposed his collarbone at most.
As soon as Bai You appeared, everyone on the set focused their attention on him.
The black swimsuit wraps around her tall and straight figure, and the graceful lines outline her perfect figure, while the pair of long legs exposed are glowing white, slender and well-proportioned.
There is hardly any imperfection.
Subconsciously, Feng Yu swallowed.
The more he can't get something, the more irreplaceable it is in his heart.
Especially at this moment, although Bai You was wrapped tightly, his invisible sexiness was brought out to the extreme.
But he seemed unaware. He just came to the director, bent slightly, and whispered something to him.
Soon, everything was arranged. Bai You went into the water to adapt to the water temperature, and the camera started running.
"SHOT 55, TAKE 1," Zhou Lian raised his hand slightly as the sound of the board rang out, "ACTION."
In the water, Bai You's figure was as agile as a swimming fish, while above the water, the elevator was slowly adjusting its height.
It was not until this moment that Feng Yu noticed the boy's fiery and obscure eyes in the third-floor window.
Soon, the pair of dark eyes disappeared behind the curtains.
In just a moment, the young man appeared at the gate of the small building.
Zhong Ling was dressed much cooler than Shen Nian, only a pair of swimming trunks, with a strong waist, broad shoulders and long legs, and his overflowing hormones nonchalantly exuded a strong sense of attack and aggression.
The set was very quiet. As he got closer and closer, the camera swept across his extremely beautiful abdominal muscles and the faint mermaid line.
Zhong Ling didn't stop and went straight to the swimming pool.
Kicking off his slippers, he frivolously put his foot in to test the water temperature of the swimming pool, then dived in, splashing a sparkling water.
At the bottom of the pool, two figures were moving rapidly, and when they were about to reach the shore, Zhong Ling raised his hand and grasped Shen Nian's ankle.
Shen Nian bent his knees and kicked out fiercely, his body turning over at the bottom of the pool with the movement.
His black hair was flying, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and he was as beautiful as the legendary mermaid.
Zhong Ling raised his lips to him without hesitation and released the hand that was holding his ankle.
However, the moment Shen Nian surfaced, he followed closely and pressed the person tightly against the pool wall.
He stood up from the water and looked down at Shen Nian.
That look seemed to be a scrutiny, an appreciation, or a silent and unbridled teasing.
Shen Nian raised his hand in anger and grabbed his throat, then leaned forward slightly and said, “Believe it or not, I will push you down and drown you in this swimming pool?”
His tone was extremely cold and cruel, but Zhong Ling just smiled at him.
Instead of retreating, he advanced half a step forward again and pressed the man against the pool wall.
The tension in this tomb is extremely high. Although there are very few lines, from beginning to end, the two people are trapped in an invisible confrontation.
As Zhong Ling took a half step closer, even though no one could see the situation under the water clearly, they knew that the lower parts of the two people were already tightly pressed together.
As an investor, Feng Yu was naturally attracted by this scene.
But at the same time, because of Bai You's excessive beauty in this scene, and the two of them being too well-matched in the shot, he felt an inexplicable jealousy in his heart.
Soon, Zhong Ling leaned forward slightly, and used his neck to push back Shen Nian's arm that was strangling his throat little by little.
Drops of water slid down his eyelashes and fell into Shen Nian's neck, which was filled with water.
He panted softly, and the frequency of his breathing could be heard bit by bit. It didn't sound like he was suffocating, but rather like he was completely dominated by desire.
"Teacher Bai," he said in a very low voice, not Chen Nian, but directly called him Bai You, "Before I die, can you let me lick the water from your neck first?"
