    Chapter 27

    Jiang Yifeng really couldn’t manage to act out profound suffering with his beautiful and charming face.

    However, just as he was worrying, the white frame popped up again.

    Xie Jingshen was looking at Jiang Yifeng, watching him frown with worry, and couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you finish so early today?”

    “Director Xu gave me a day off.” Jiang Yifeng looked up at Xie Jingshen: “Xie Jingshen, aren’t you supposed to be in a meeting?”

    “There was a sudden situation.” Xie Jingshen’s face showed a hint of gloom. “The short-selling fund we collaborated with some time ago encountered a little resistance.”

    Jiang Yifeng felt dizzy listening to this, but he still listened carefully to Xie Jingshen and, after thinking about it carefully, sighed: “It does seem a bit troublesome.”

    “It’s not a long-term problem, but other parties have entered the game.” Xie Jingshen shook his head. His originally irritable mood gradually calmed down after speaking. He looked at Jiang Yifeng’s bewildered and worried expression and couldn’t help but smile: “Even if I lose money, I can still afford you.”

    “It’s okay, even if you don’t have any money, I can support you.” Jiang Yifeng raised an eyebrow: “I’ll deliver takeout to support you.”

    Xie Jingshen felt a tickle in his heart.

    It is said that shopping can relieve depression when people are in a bad mood, and Xie Jingshen also had the urge to spend impulsively at this time.

    Unfortunately, he clicked on the game several times, but there was no button for giving a reward. Xie Jingshen propped up his face, watching Jiang Yifeng smile happily, and then asked Jiang Yifeng again: “Why did Director Xu give you a day off?”

    “It’s still the character’s problem.”

    Speaking of acting, Jiang Yifeng’s expression instantly turned gloomy.

    “I can’t act out that feeling.”

    He told Xie Jingshen the plot again, and Xie Jingshen first frowned, pointing to his handsome face and asking: “Then, do you have a feeling of attachment when you look at me?”

    “…” Jiang Yifeng’s eyes silently moved to the side, and then he nodded.

    “I promised to practice with you, so I’ll accompany you.”

    “But you don’t look that old either.” Jiang Yifeng’s face was almost touching the white frame, and the two people’s eyes were instantly very close. Xie Jingshen could see the fine hairs on Jiang Yifeng’s face, and the childishness that had not faded from his cheeks. “It’s okay if I like you, but how can I find the feeling for anything else?”

    Jiang Yifeng said casually.

    He wasn’t thinking much, but Xie Jingshen subconsciously moved back a little.

    His gaze fell on the depths of Jiang Yifeng’s eyes.

    Jiang Yifeng was really just saying it casually. His eyes were clear, his lips held a smile, and his gaze was bright.

    Xie Jingshen’s throat was a little dry, and he lowered his eyes and slowly said, “That little madman wants his adoptive father to die, but not because he hates his adoptive father.”

    Jiang Yifeng felt that the little madman was full of hatred.

    After all, his experience since childhood had extremely distorted his worldview. He only felt endless hatred for the surrounding world, so how could he have good feelings for his adoptive father, who had a relationship with him? What’s more, the targets he attacked had always been his adoptive father’s colleagues, obviously indicating hatred for that group of people.

    “No, I think he only has love.” Xie Jingshen thought about all the plot Jiang Yifeng had told him before, and slowly spoke his understanding. “He didn’t attack the people in his adoptive father’s team… The perpetrators of the bank robbery were all eventually caught. Except for a few who were about to be exposed and were killed, the others confessed their crimes. He knew all his adoptive father’s accomplices, and he also knew the shady dealings his adoptive father had done. If he really hated them, he would at least attack the people under his adoptive father.”

    Jiang Yifeng was stunned.

    When he was reading the script, he didn’t pay much attention to everyone who interacted with his adoptive father, but under the intense plot logic of the movie, the audience would clearly see every detail.

    Xie Jingshen was more familiar with the script characters than he was.

    Jiang Yifeng covered his face with his knees a little shyly.

    He was barefoot, stepping on the stool. Besides feeling ashamed that he wasn’t more familiar with the script than Xie Jingshen, Jiang Yifeng also felt a sense of relief in his heart.

    Perhaps it was because the feeling of being constantly cared for was too good, so good that he felt a little dazed.

    “Then if he doesn’t hate his adoptive father, what is it for?” Jiang Yifeng pursed his lips.

    He carefully flipped through the script.

    Some details inside had been crossed out with a pen and replaced with new content, some of which specified the required acting style…

    In order to make it easier for Jiang Yifeng to understand the plot, the screenwriter filled in countless details and backgrounds throughout the entire content and specially created a character biography of the villain, the little madman, for Jiang Yifeng. However, the entire plot was originally discussed and revised by Guang Haitao, the screenwriter, and Xu Chen together, and many plots became blurred with Guang Haitao’s death.

    He carefully flipped through it and suddenly discovered a very small detail.

    Before the bank robbery occurred, a conversation between several police officers.

    “Is that cocktail still open?”

    “Yes, that store is so good, who would be willing to let it close?”

    There were only two very short sentences of dialogue.

    However, when he flipped to his character biography, on the sentence [Once worked part-time in a cocktail bar.], the handwritten words [Part-time male prostitute] were marked.

    Jiang Yifeng’s pupils moved, his gaze fell on that line of small words, and his finger tapped on cocktail.

    “It seems the hidden easter egg is here.”

    Jiang Yifeng excitedly told Xie Jingshen his discovery, and Xie Jingshen also nodded.

    “So he only has pure love and attachment for his adoptive father.” Xie Jingshen looked at Jiang Yifeng: “Then you should be able to act it out towards me, right?”

    When Jiang Yifeng woke up the next morning, he felt that the heat on his cheeks had not subsided. He originally thought that the shyness could last so long that it was worth becoming a major topic in the history of medical research, but after he washed his face, he realized that he had a fever.

    Last night, in order to make himself more awake, he poured cold water over his head, but not only did his mind not become clear, it became even more chaotic.

    Jiang Yifeng tried hard to soothe his spirit.

    Thinking of the discussion and practice results last night, Jiang Yifeng was quite confident.

    When he arrived at the set, Xu Chen was adjusting the machine. Seeing Jiang Yifeng’s face was flushed, he asked in surprise: “What’s wrong?”

    “I have a cold.” Jiang Yifeng responded with a smile.

    He took the script and carefully told Xu Chen about his discoveries last night, and Xu Chen immediately understood Jiang Yifeng’s meaning.

    “Old Guang left too suddenly and didn’t have time to communicate everything clearly.” There was a hint of sadness in Xu Chen’s eyes. He shook his head and finally said helplessly, “He always likes to put these little easter eggs in the movie…”

    “Is it also a kind of fun to let netizens guess for themselves?”

    Jiang Yifeng laughed.

    They soon changed their performance style.

    This time, when Jiang Yifeng looked at his adoptive father again, he no longer avoided eye contact. When he looked up, his eyes were full of admiration and love. Even if he didn’t open his mouth, he could see his full affection from Jiang Yifeng’s eyes. And he smiled as he helped his adoptive father tie his tie, and laughed under his adoptive father’s caress.

    That kind of sweet and crazy feeling made Xu Chen very satisfied.

    They shot three groups, and the close-ups were all concentrated on Jiang Yifeng’s eyes.

    Jiang Yifeng happily finished shooting several scenes. When he was resting, Qiao Ran came over: “Why are you suddenly acting so well?” Qiao Ran, watching from so far away, felt his heart beating very fast.

    “Huh? I don’t know, maybe I practiced for a long time last night.” Jiang Yifeng paused and added: “I found a friend to practice with me.”

    Jiang Yifeng didn’t give anyone any hint of ambiguity.

    Qiao Ran was not a person who liked to pester, so when Jiang Yifeng refused, he hid his thoughts and didn’t dare to express them anymore.

    The following scenes were all filmed very smoothly.

    It was just that after filming for several months, the “Mu Yu Ge” crew finally ushered in the publicity period. Their post-production was all reshoots. The original release date was disrupted by the stunt double incident, but the marketing expenses that were paid in advance could not be recovered, so they had to bite the bullet and start building momentum on the original publicity date.

    The “Mu Yu Ge” crew had experienced many twists and turns, but they did not forget to call Jiang Yifeng during the publicity period, just to add some topics and popularity to the crew.

    There were many controversial points about Jiang Yifeng. In addition to the previous stunt double hype, the contradiction between Wang Mingchuan and Jiang Yifeng was also put on the table.

    Intentional media outlets had already planned to take the opportunity to interview Jiang Yifeng during the interview with the “Mu Yu Ge” crew.

    The result of Jiang Yifeng being completely unknown was that reporters couldn’t find a plausible reason to stir up trouble, even if they wanted to. They couldn’t rush to the set of Xu Chen’s new movie to snatch people.

    Therefore, many media reporters contacted the “Mu Yu Ge” crew through various channels, wanting to take the opportunity of the publicity period to interview Jiang Yifeng well.

    Zhao Jinming didn’t make it so clear when contacting Jiang Yifeng, only telling him that he was going to participate in an interview.

    Jiang Yifeng immediately agreed.

    The price of a single interview was not high. For most actors, it was just a little income that was better than nothing. The most important thing was to cooperate with the crew while increasing their popularity.

    However, when Jiang Yifeng saw the sum of money that was immediately credited to his account, he only felt his eyes widen.

    “That’s a lot.” He clicked his tongue.

    The system looked at the small amount of money.

    “Actually, your binding object can give you such an amount of pocket money every day, why don’t you ask him for it?”

    The system thought of the countless novels it had imported into the system, in which the strong and brave little white flower did not accept the president’s alms. But its host didn’t seem to be such a tenacious person.

    Jiang Yifeng sighed.

    He pretended to be profound and slowly said: “Actually…”

    The system silently turned up the volume.

    “I’m afraid of being audited for taxes, do you believe it?”

    System: “?”

    System: “We can…”

    Jiang Yifeng laughed: “Just kidding, just kidding.”

    Jiang Yifeng put his hand on his knee, and a serious look appeared in his eyes: “I just think that Xie Jingshen is such a good person, so I don’t want to take all his kindness to me for granted… He shouldn’t be treated like that.”

    “He may not care, but I can’t, other people’s kindness to me shouldn’t be taken for granted… What’s more, other people give pocket money, at least they give their bodies, but I can’t give anything.”

    The author has something to say:

    President Xie: Wife won’t let me spend money.

    President Xie: I can’t even touch my wife, and my wife doesn’t want my money. I’m really a poor guy with nothing but money.
