TRMP Chapter 55

Chapter 53

The director had already yelled “Cut!” but Guan Shaodong hadn’t recovered from the shock.

Even though he knew the plot well, Guan Shaodong was stunned the moment he saw Jiang Yifeng.

It wasn’t until Zhao Wenjun called him that Guan Shaodong snapped out of it.

He rolled off the couch, his bare feet hitting the boots, his eyes fixed on Jiang Yifeng.

Seeing that he was about to change clothes, Guan Shaodong asked somewhat reluctantly, “Don’t change. You look so good in women’s clothes.”

After speaking, Guan Shaodong looked at Zhao Wenjun again, “If I were the director, I’d definitely make you wear women’s clothes for the entire show. Cross-dressing is so popular these days. Wearing women’s clothes throughout would definitely boost ratings.”

Zhao Wenjun couldn’t help but laugh, pointing at Guan Shaodong, “You just think Little Jiang looks good in women’s clothes. You’re just horny.”

Jiang Yifeng was already unbuttoning his clothes. Hearing Guan Shaodong’s words, he tried hard to suppress the urge to roll his eyes, smiling as he turned his head, “The quirky style is popular now… you cross-dressing would be even more shocking. The audience would get more and more hooked. It still has to be you.”

Guan Shaodong scoffed, but when he looked at the director, Zhao Wenjun was actually nodding.

“That escape scene for the male lead could try it.” Zhao Wenjun held the script, making a sweeping stroke with his pen.

Guan Shaodong froze on the spot, suddenly realizing what it meant to try to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.

Because Guan Shaodong had a playful personality and Zhao Wenjun was easygoing, the entire set was filled with an abnormally harmonious and silly atmosphere.

When he wasn’t needed for a scene, Jiang Yifeng would squat beside Zhao Wenjun’s camera to observe his shots, or squat at the scenes with the veteran actors to watch them show off their acting skills.

His time on set was peaceful and harmonious. He would also go talk to Xie Jingshen from time to time.

Xie Jingshen knew that Jiang Yifeng was filming in women’s clothing on the first day. Although he didn’t show it on his face, he privately bought several outfits of women’s clothing according to Jiang Yifeng’s figure.

However, Jiang Yifeng had no idea what Xie Jingshen was secretly doing. At the hotel, he was complaining to Xie Jingshen about how cold it was to wear thin yarn in the winter.

“Are you wearing very little?” Xie Jingshen asked casually.

Jiang Yifeng nodded without realizing anything, complaining in a low voice, “Very little. Only a thin yarn. I feel like my arms are going to freeze.”

“Then next time, you can suggest that the director add more clothes. You can also wear more women’s clothing.” Xie Jingshen kindly suggested. “Are there any other scenes in women’s clothing? What time is the next scene being shot?”

“The next few scenes…” Jiang Yifeng was saying when he started to feel something was off.

He suddenly looked at Xie Jingshen.

“I suspect you’re trying to get information out of me.”

Jiang Yifeng said with certainty.

Xie Jingshen didn’t panic at all when he was discovered. He pinched the little doll’s hand, then said in a gentle voice, “I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold. It’s so cold in the winter. Be careful not to get sick.”

Jiang Yifeng snorted, but didn’t continue to question Xie Jingshen.

And Xie Jingshen quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

— It seems that his women’s clothing will have to be hidden for a long time.

Jiang Yifeng was enjoying his time on set. Outside, the crew also began to promote the show.

Since the crew started filming, news about the actors for each role had been released.

Although the filming process was kept secret, with Zhao Wenjun in charge, many people began to pay attention to the filming from the very beginning.

Jiang Yifeng’s fans were also pleasantly surprised to find that Jiang Yifeng was participating in one of the supporting roles.

“Ahhh Jiang Jiang is participating in Zhao Wenjun’s show! Jiang Jiang is so amazing!”

“We’ll have a new show to watch soon. Wuwuwu I’m really looking forward to it. It’s Zhao Wenjun’s show, after all.”

The marketing accounts, however, focused their attention on the male lead Guan Shaodong and the previously rumored male lead, Gu Miao.

“Rumor has it that Gu Miao was already internally decided as the male lead of Zhao Wenjun’s new show, but Guan Shaodong was announced as the male lead after the start of filming. I wonder what the inside story is.”

“Yan City’s Young Master Guan Shaodong officially announced as the male lead? Online rumors that Guan Shaodong snatched Gu Miao’s role may be true?”

Gu Miao, as a top actor with extremely high traffic and popularity, has been around for four years since his first film was released. As a newcomer, he became an instant sensation with his first film, and later endorsements and resources continued to pour in, and he has always remained in the top tier of the entertainment industry.

His fans had expected Gu Miao to transform into a powerful actor by participating in Zhao Wenjun’s new show, but in the end, Guan Shaodong became the protagonist.

Gu Miao’s fans instantly exploded, and the marketing accounts, not afraid of adding fuel to the fire, stirred up trouble and set the rhythm, and the Internet was suddenly filled with various fan wars, and Zhao Wenjun’s TV series official announcement blog was also full of fans’ questions.

After a few days of bickering, Gu Miao’s big fans took to the stage to set the rhythm, and coupled with the collusion of ghosts and people on the Internet, Zhao Wenjun had to come forward to respond.

“The question of whether Gu Miao will participate has already been answered in the interview at the opening ceremony, and we are also actively contacting Gu Miao’s side for consultation.”

Zhao Wenjun’s words were vague, and fans had to go to the opening ceremony to find Zhao Wenjun’s remarks.

Jiang Yifeng was originally not interested in the online storms, but he couldn’t stand that Guan Shaodong was a gossipy chatterbox.

They had a lot of scenes together, and as soon as they were off the set, Guan Shaodong excitedly dragged Jiang Yifeng to chat about the gossip on the Internet.

After listening to Guan Shaodong, Jiang Yifeng asked doubtfully, “Then what did Director Zhao say in the interview?”

Guan Shaodong avoided Jiang Yifeng’s question, and instead said with a smile, “Gu Miao privately asked Director Zhao for your role, and also wanted to support your role to shoot a dual male lead, saying that he could use his traffic to help the crew promote and attract investment.”

After speaking, Guan Shaodong raised his eyebrows and pointed to himself, “Could I, Yan City’s Guan Shao, agree to that? The lead role must be mine.”

Jiang Yifeng was amused by Guan Shaodong and laughed, “Guan Shao, if the marketing accounts heard your words, they could unite to hype you up and blacken you for three days and three nights.”

“They’ve blackened me so many times. The name Yan City Guan Shao was given to me by them.” Guan Shaodong said cheerfully, “Who cares about them? I’ve never delayed filming to earn money.”

Jiang Yifeng shook his head.

He hugged his knees and used his phone to check on Gu Miao’s affairs.

Fans on the Internet dug up that Zhao Wenjun had said in an interview that he wanted to invite Gu Miao to play a special role, but did not receive a response from Gu Miao. Gu Miao’s fans were indeed much quieter after seeing the news, and they all generously said that Director Zhao Wenjun was very knowledgeable and that the rumored Gu Miao starring in the new drama was just a marketing account trying to get heat, hoping that the marketing account and black fans would not casually pull out XX spokesperson, XX ambassador, XX ratings, XX billion online broadcasts of the top male artist Gu Miao to block the gun.

Jiang Yifeng: “…”

He marveled that Zhao Wenjun’s public relations skills and emotional intelligence were indeed first-class.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to have filmed so many dramas without having conflicts with the actors’ fans.

He was scrolling through the news when Guan Shaodong suddenly came up next to him.

“The next escape scene, do you want to ask Director Zhao to wear women’s clothes and see?”

Jiang Yifeng rolled his eyes.

“Why don’t we discuss with Director Zhao and change the next escape scene to you dressing up as a woman.” Jiang Yifeng said through gritted teeth.

Guan Shaodong immediately shut up.

Most of the court dramas were filmed in Hengdian, and the crew’s living conditions were also very good.

Guan Shaodong was talkative, and Jiang Yifeng learned a lot of secrets from him. Although he didn’t know if they were true or false, it greatly increased Jiang Yifeng’s understanding of the complexity of the entertainment industry.

Every day, he would tell Xie Jingshen the things he had heard from Guan Shaodong in surprise, which made Xie Jingshen a little jealous.

Xie Jingshen knew that Jiang Yifeng was going to film with Guan Shaodong, and that he was playing Guan Shaodong’s Deadpool, so the two of them had the most and most frequent contact – he couldn’t directly tell Jiang Yifeng his jealousy, and being too obvious would only embarrass Jiang Yifeng.

But if he didn’t say anything…

Listening to the name Guan Shaodong, Xie Jingshen only felt that the ambiguous feelings were about to be drowned by the annoyance of that jealousy.

Besides, the other party had seen Jiang Yifeng in women’s clothing.

Xie Jingshen was considering so many things for the first time that weren’t work-related.

And he finally found an opportunity.

“Xie De and the others have recently dispatched all their forces, and I have almost figured out the informants they have hidden in various departments.” Xie Jingshen looked at Jiang Yifeng with a gentle expression, “They have thought of many ways… If you were really alone outside, I’m afraid I would be so worried that I couldn’t sleep. I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you.”

“It’s okay. They can’t find me.”

“But I can’t find you either.” Xie Jingshen’s eyes looked even more pitiful, with flickering eyes full of love for Jiang Yifeng.

He usually looks very powerful, but once he shows a little aggrieved and attached look, Jiang Yifeng feels his heart beat faster.

Jiang Yifeng felt that at this time, he seemed unable to refuse every word Xie Jingshen said.

“But we can chat every night…” Jiang Yifeng said, his voice getting smaller and smaller.

Humans are really difficult to satisfy.

It was clear that in the beginning, as long as Xie Jingshen said “Good night” to him in the middle of the night, Jiang Yifeng would feel satisfied.

But after the two confessed their love, it seemed that just meeting was no longer enough.

When Xie Jingshen pinched the little man, he couldn’t feel Jiang Yifeng’s body temperature at all.

Jiang Yifeng could feel Xie Jingshen’s touch, but could never touch Xie Jingshen.

“I miss you so much.” Xie Jingshen said, and then whispered, “They seem to have noticed my tightening movements, so while trying to continue to insert new people, let the informants lie dormant, they also want to recommend women to me to distract me… The Xie family has always wanted me to marry a woman to restrain me, and recently the movements have been so frequent and aggressive that I dare not attend any gatherings with women.”

“Because I already have you, I don’t want you to think too much, you… are so easily jealous.”

“Who is easily jealous?” Jiang Yifeng pouted.

Xie Jingshen spoke pitifully, and Jiang Yifeng also felt distressed.

He thought about Xie Jingshen being jealous, and then thought about himself and Guan Shaodong talking every day without any distance…

Jiang Yifeng: “…”

Suddenly, he felt a sense of mission as a boyfriend.

“I’m not easily jealous.”

Jiang Yifeng added another sentence.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Okay, you are the most generous, I am judging others by myself… I am very easily jealous, really.”

Jiang Yifeng nodded.

He kept Xie Jingshen’s aggrieved words in his heart, and the next day after filming, he ran to Zhao Wenjun’s side to watch the shots.

Guan Shaodong was just preparing to drag Jiang Yifeng to talk about the new gossip he heard yesterday. As soon as Jiang Yifeng ran, he followed, “There’s nothing to see here. Who doesn’t trust Director Zhao’s filming?”

“No, I’m learning the language of the lens.” Jiang Yifeng said seriously.

Guan Shaodong nodded vaguely.

However, he soon discovered that Jiang Yifeng seemed to be deliberately avoiding putting his arm around his shoulders.

Guan Shaodong: “?”

Guan Shaodong was puzzled, and couldn’t figure out how, in just one night, he was acting as if he was gay and wanted to avoid suspicion?

The author has something to say:

President Xie: I can’t not act. If I don’t act, how can I be my beautiful wife’s only husband?
