TRMP Chapter 24

Chapter 23

Jiang Yifeng had always thought he was optimistic enough.

However, he always ended up thinking of Xie Jingshen at inappropriate times.

The two of them were simply paper person to paper person. Xie Jingshen treated himself as if he had a paper lover, and Jiang Yifeng created a romantic atmosphere for him, each getting what they needed.

Xie Jingshen had indeed helped him a lot, ordering meals for him, sending him medicine, chatting with him, and also helping him submit resumes and get rid of Zhao Panyang’s harassment.

But he couldn’t create illusions for Xie Jingshen forever.

Jiang Yifeng felt that he might be a bit emotionally rigid, so he was reluctant to accept things that should be taken for granted.

Xie Jingshen shouldn’t give up the opportunity to date in reality for the sake of a game lover.

As for himself…

“Staying away from marriage is the key to happiness.” Jiang Yifeng performed a mental ritual for himself in his heart before re-establishing his mental defenses.

Xu Chen didn’t care about Jiang Yifeng’s marital status, but he needed to understand it.

He valued Jiang Yifeng very much, and even thought about signing Jiang Yifeng to his company.

“How many years are left on your contract?” Xu Chen tentatively asked Jiang Yifeng for the first time, and Jiang Yifeng said without any guard, “Five years left.”

“You signed a ten-year contract the first time?” Xu Chen was very surprised.

Jiang Yifeng nodded.

Back then, after their company saw his face, they believed that he would become very popular in the future, so they signed a ten-year contract with a big wave of their hand.

However, Jiang Yifeng stumbled along, finally making the company realize that they didn’t have the fate to go public.

Jiang Yifeng also quickly went from being a heavily promoted newcomer to a liability of the company.

“Fortunately, if someone helps you pay the penalty for breach of contract, five years isn’t too much money.”

“…” Jiang Yifeng slowly said, “I don’t have any money.”

He really didn’t have much money.

Xu Chen didn’t expect Jiang Yifeng to be in such dire straits. He patted Jiang Yifeng on the shoulder, encouraging him to work hard.

Jiang Yifeng nodded seriously, then turned the pages of the book and continued to memorize his lines diligently.

He was doing the work of two people, and Xu Chen even discussed with Jiang Yifeng whether or not to give him a little extra pay.

Jiang Yifeng agreed almost without hesitation, without the slightest bit of artistic arrogance.

“You don’t even refuse?”

“Why should I be against money?”

Seeing the confusion in Jiang Yifeng’s eyes, Xu Chen felt that he might have misunderstood the proud young actors of today.

But now he didn’t care about these small things.

Xu Chen deliberately kept Jiang Yifeng by his side when filming, carefully teaching him the techniques of film shooting.

Jiang Yifeng felt the formation of a movie in front of him for the first time—Xu Chen was indeed a good director, and his pursuit of aesthetics was integrated into every frame. Even when filming a police and gangster movie, he could render every frame exceptionally beautiful.

However, previous films focused too much on aesthetics, putting the story behind.

And the main line of this movie was clear, and the plot was straightforward, so Xu Chen’s shooting technique was the icing on the cake.

Jiang Yifeng quickly put his worries behind him.

However, if he didn’t go looking for trouble, Wang Mingchuan would take the initiative to come to him.

After Xu Chen got angry again and scolded Wang Mingchuan for not having enough emotion, the pent-up anger in Wang Mingchuan finally reached its peak.

He posted a blog post with a very sarcastic tone of apology.

[I said a few words casually in a previous report, but I didn’t expect it to cause misunderstandings. I don’t know why the marketing accounts nowadays always have to take things out of context? @Jiang Yifeng YiF, sorry brother.]

He @’ed Jiang Yifeng’s account, which hadn’t been updated for several years, instantly drawing all the attention to Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng was in a daze when Luo Qi woke him up with a phone call.

It wasn’t until he heard Luo Qi tell him to log into his account that he belatedly checked it out.

Oh, Wang Mingchuan had finally made his move.

Jiang Yifeng calmly looked at the abusive comments in the comment section of the last blog post on his homepage.

However, in addition to Su Xiaoyu’s fans and others who already had malicious intentions towards Jiang Yifeng, there were more water army bot accounts.

“So you’re not only hyping things up but also secretly married and had children, pui!”

“Hyping-up artist! Trash!”

“I don’t know why anyone would like trash like you who’s secretly married and had children!” (Water army account)

Jiang Yifeng rarely logged into his account, so he took a look at his fan group that he had created five years ago. There were a total of 6 people, one of whom was himself.

The fan group didn’t organize any effective counterattacks. The last message was at the beginning of the year when someone asked if there were any new materials.

Jiang Yifeng was excited.

–The beginning of the year! Someone actually asked at the beginning of the year!

He looked again—the beginning of last year.

Jiang Yifeng was a little disappointed.

He breathed a sigh of relief again.

–At least when he was attacked, none of his fans would be sad because he was being scolded.

He was too lazy to reply to Wang Mingchuan.

That person acted very kind and friendly on the set every day, but in reality, he was ugly and vengeful.

However, Jiang Yifeng didn’t completely ignore him.

“You’re suspecting me? What are you suspecting me of? Reconnaissance and surveillance! I even blocked this bullet for you! Xu Chuan, you suspect me!”

Jiang Yifeng spoke calmly, but every word seemed aggressive.

He was clearly shorter than Wang Mingchuan, but every time he took a step forward, Wang Mingchuan was forced to retreat.

Wang Mingchuan gritted his teeth, but his momentum clearly weakened: “Teacher, the news about the cargo ship, the deployment of our team… How can you not make me suspect you!”

“Cut!” Xu Chen suddenly called out: “Wang Mingchuan, you are now confronting him, confronting! Our camera is mainly on your face! Your momentum is so weak, are you feeling guilty?! Again!”

Wang Mingchuan gritted his teeth angrily. At this time, his expression was much more vivid than before. He glared at Jiang Yifeng hatefully and stood back in his original position.

Jiang Yifeng had to play the role of the old actor, so he often overshadowed Wang Mingchuan’s role.

As long as Jiang Yifeng suppressed the aura a little more, the performance of many of Wang Mingchuan’s scenes would be affected.

Once or twice was fine. Xu Chen had reprimanded Wang Mingchuan, and he could use Jiang Yifeng’s “unmarried and having children” hype to comfort himself.

But after being named by Xu Chen for the fifth time in a day for not knowing how to act, and being asked to walk through the scene alone, Wang Mingchuan finally realized that Jiang Yifeng was retaliating against him.

“You did it on purpose.” Wang Mingchuan lowered his voice, “You did it on purpose.”

“Aren’t you doing it on purpose too?” Jiang Yifeng smiled, and even the final ending sound of his tone was raised.

Wang Mingchuan was stunned.

He walked through the dry scenes in anger and resentment, and was reprimanded by Xu Chen again and again for his eyes and movements.

The film shooting was concise and meticulous. In addition, Jiang Yifeng’s part would be cut later, and the real old actor would re-shoot the shots alone, so Wang Mingchuan’s emotions were the focus of the shooting.

It was a pity that Jiang Yifeng suppressed him.

Wang Mingchuan was rejected by Xu Chen after walking through the scenes five or six times in a row, and Xu Chen waved his hand to let Jiang Yifeng come up to help.

“See if you can give Wang Mingchuan a demonstration.”

The set was silent.

Jiang Yifeng calmly walked to the front of the camera.

He didn’t look at Wang Mingchuan, just silently waited under the camera.

At the moment when the camera started, Jiang Yifeng slowly clenched his fist. Although his eyes were lowered and looking down, his back was straight, only his neck was slightly down, and his whole person was tense like a bow.

He opened his mouth to say his lines. Although it was the same words, it seemed to have infinite sadness.

The moment the first word came out, Jiang Yifeng’s eyes turned red.

After saying the whole passage, Jiang Yifeng didn’t shed tears, just stood there.

However, his eyes not only had anger, but after speaking, he seemed to be in a daze, and when he looked at the nothingness again, he seemed to have a hint of pleading.

There was clearly no sound and no one around.

But just him standing there seemed like a betrayed child hoping for the last bit of light.

Xu Chen didn’t speak.

He just silently aimed at Jiang Yifeng’s movements and filmed, and for a while, he regretted letting Jiang Yifeng play the small villain.

However, when he looked at Wang Mingchuan, Xu Chen relaxed again.

–Forget it, he’s a bit ugly, it’s better for Jiang Yifeng to play the villain.

He coughed and looked at Wang Mingchuan: “Do you understand?”

Wang Mingchuan was almost driven crazy.

However, he still gritted his teeth and nodded.

Perhaps because of this anger, Wang Mingchuan expressed his anger very well in the next scene.

Although it wasn’t as layered as Jiang Yifeng’s, and he completely turned the master and apprentice into enemies, Xu Chen couldn’t shoot a better effect after trying again.

He sighed disappointedly and finally let Wang Mingchuan pass.

When Wang Mingchuan left, he looked at Jiang Yifeng, who was looking in his direction.

He bent his eyes at Wang Mingchuan, and Wang Mingchuan’s face turned red.

Xu Chen was originally looking at the monitor, but when he saw Jiang Yifeng’s appearance, he couldn’t help but call him closer and instructed: “Wang Mingchuan is, after all, a person with a reputation. Their company is strongly promoting him. Don’t… overshadow his scenes anymore.”

Jiang Yifeng nodded.

He knew that Xu Chen was doing it for his own good, but Jiang Yifeng couldn’t be happy.

It seemed that no one in this world would unconditionally stand by his side except for Xie Jingshen.

But Xie Jingshen was not a person from this world.

He seemed to be living a lonely life, no one cared, and no one liked him.

When he returned to the hotel, picked up his phone, and saw the news about him being secretly married and having children.

Secretly married… with Xie Jingshen?

Jiang Yifeng thought aimlessly.

However, he quickly realized that Xie Jingshen hadn’t come to him for a long time.

In the past, he would secretly watch Jiang Yifeng when he was filming.

He could say good night to Jiang Yifeng no matter how busy he was.

Jiang Yifeng asked the system, and the system was also particularly melancholy.

“Your intimacy hasn’t reached sixty yet. If the bound object doesn’t log in for a long time, your connection may be passively terminated. Then I’ll have to deal with a lot of junk data again, and then re-select a host…” The system felt even more uncomfortable when it thought of the junk data in its memory.

Jiang Yifeng blankly laid down for a while.

It seemed that he was going to be alone again.

Jiang Yifeng buried his face in his arms, and his appearance looked a bit distressed.

“Host, do you want… me to try to contact Xie Jingshen?” The system hesitated.

It was now constantly popping up notification boxes on Xie Jingshen’s phone, but unfortunately, the other party completely ignored the game’s prompts, as if he was seeing the game for the first time.

The system couldn’t monitor Xie Jingshen’s every move, it could only pop up prompts at the appropriate time.

However, the initiative was still in the hands of the other party, it all depended on Xie Jingshen.

“No.”

Jiang Yifeng refused very definitely.

Jiang Yifeng rubbed his face.

He lowered his eyes, and even the system couldn’t see the expression between his eyebrows.

Jiang Yifeng took a deep breath.

“Forget it, I can’t always put my hope on others.”

“Besides, I’m just a fake anyway.”

He was about to sort out his mood and prepare for the next day’s scenes, but he caught sight of a white box.
