TRMP Chapter 56

Guan Shaodong, as straight as a steel rod, never quite understood.

However, with his thick skin and resilient nature, he quickly consoled himself. Even without draping his arm around Jiang Yifeng’s shoulders, he still stuck close, eager to flaunt gossip.

Jiang Yifeng’s interest in other people’s gossip was limited to “knowing” it. The various behind-the-scenes battles for roles seemed to him like elementary school kids pulling hair. Guan Shaodong spoke with relish, and Jiang Yifeng listened happily. However, compared to Xie Jingshen, Jiang Yifeng didn’t have as strong of a desire to share with others.

Guan Shaodong had told Jiang Yifeng so much, yet he was surprised to discover that Jiang Yifeng had never mentioned it to anyone else.

For a moment, Guan Shaodong felt deeply moved.

In the entertainment industry, keeping your mouth shut was simply the most important and most valuable quality in life!

“I’ve decided to make you my friend.”

Guan Shaodong declared firmly.

Jiang Yifeng didn’t quite understand why Guan Shaodong had to say the friend declaration so many times.

He smiled amiably at Guan Shaodong, who was so moved he nearly cried. Holding Jiang Yifeng’s hand earnestly, Guan Shaodong said, “Now that we’re friends, can you take some cross-dressing photos for your brother to enjoy?”

Jiang Yifeng raised an eyebrow.

“Friends always exchange cross-dressing photos.”

Guan Shaodong indicated that the cross-dressing photo matter could wait, and that good brothers didn’t necessarily need cross-dressing photos.

Although most of the gossip Guan Shaodong provided was useless, he particularly enjoyed talking about Gu Miao because the production team had been constantly entangled with him recently.

From Guan Shaodong’s mouth, Jiang Yifeng learned that Gu Miao seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with his boss.

“Many of Gu Miao’s early resources were provided by that boss… but now that Gu Miao has become the company’s cash cow, things definitely aren’t the same as they used to be. That boss is a notorious playboy with countless lovers. If I were Gu Miao, I’d definitely leave the company as soon as the contract ended.”

Jiang Yifeng listened in stunned silence.

“He…” Jiang Yifeng felt a little foolish.

Could it be that Gu Miao suspected that he was his boss’s new lover, which was why he initially treated him with such disdain and ridicule?

But Jiang Yifeng felt something was off.

That emotion seemed more like a deliberate posture made after panic and fear, rather than a show of strength.

“Do you know him?” Guan Shaodong asked curiously, “I’ve only had contact with his studio, and they’re incredibly arrogant.”

“Our company’s annual meeting invited him as a guest, but he’s quite popular, so I didn’t have a chance to talk to him.” Jiang Yifeng smiled and glossed over the matter, and Guan Shaodong didn’t notice anything amiss.

He believed everything Jiang Yifeng said without the slightest hint of suspicion.

He continued to film his scenes as usual. One day, during filming, Zhao Wenjun suddenly called for a break.

After taking a phone call, he led someone in from outside. That person was fully armed, looking every bit like a big star.

Before the name could even form in Jiang Yifeng’s mind, the person had already removed their mask and glasses, revealing Gu Miao’s face, which was more confident than handsome.

“Gu Miao will be making a special appearance as the character Ming An, let’s all welcome him.”

Zhao Wenjun said sincerely, and everyone applauded in cooperation.

Gu Miao smiled warmly, but the smile froze for a moment when he saw Jiang Yifeng in the crowd.

He put his glasses back on and asked softly for the location of the makeup room. The production assistant excitedly led Gu Miao away. As he walked out of the set, he looked back at Jiang Yifeng, only to find that Jiang Yifeng hadn’t even glanced at him.

Gu Miao took his acting very seriously.

The character he played didn’t have many scenes, but he was particularly likable. The setting of a reclusive expert, a cold and beautiful person, easily became a classic figure in various website lists. Gu Miao only needed to appear when the male lead fell off a cliff to teach him martial arts, and when the male lead was in danger and the assassin risked his life to save him but was still trapped, he only needed to step forward and say in a cool way, “Who dares to touch my disciple?”

Jiang Yifeng only had a few scenes with Gu Miao, but in the setting, Jiang Yifeng was suppressed by Gu Miao.

Once, Ming An saved the male lead, and the assassin searched for months under the cliff, finally finding Ming An’s residence. Seeing Ming An holding the male lead’s sword, he was convinced that Ming An had stolen the relics of the dead male lead, so he rushed forward and desperately tried to seize the sword, but was suppressed by Ming An using the male lead’s sword.

The second time was when he accidentally encountered the male lead on the road to finding death in a daze. After the male lead explained the situation, he returned and knelt down to thank Ming An.

The third time was when the male lead was in danger. He failed to protect the male lead, and the enemy went around to kill the male lead, but Ming An suddenly appeared and killed the enemy, then turned around and scolded him for being useless.

Gu Miao’s schedule was tight, and Zhao Wenjun adjusted the shooting strategy, so all the scenes under the cliff were brought forward.

They found a place in the mountains and fields, set up equipment at the foot of the mountain, and filmed that scene.

The scenery in the mountains and fields was beautiful, with the only two shortcomings being poor signal and tight accommodation.

However, the signal could not affect the magical abilities of the system. Even in the deep mountains and old forests, Jiang Yifeng could still chat with Xie Jingshen.

The crew fully respected Guan Shaodong’s opinion and arranged for Jiang Yifeng and Guan Shaodong to be in the same room. Jiang Yifeng had to go out every night to chat with Xie Jingshen, shivering from the cold in the early spring forest.

Xie Jingshen felt sorry for him and immediately asked the system if it could transform the call into a mobile communication mode.

At least it could pretend to be on the phone with someone.

The system very tactfully charged Xie Jingshen a fee and helped him realize his wish.

And Jiang Yifeng was finally able to curl up in the guesthouse, holding the quilt, and whisper good night to Xie Jingshen.

“Who is it? Why do you have to chat so late every day.” Guan Shaodong frowned on the opposite side: “And is your mobile communication normal? I don’t have any signal at all…”

“My signal is okay.” Jiang Yifeng’s finger gently blocked the screen.

“Huh? Who is it? Even with such a bad signal, you have to report every night… Girlfriend?” Guan Shaodong winked at Jiang Yifeng.

“…No, boyfriend.” Jiang Yifeng lowered his head and adjusted the screen.

He knew that Xie Jingshen could see Guan Shaodong, so he didn’t explain the current situation.

“Is there still a scene with Gu Miao tomorrow morning?” Xie Jingshen’s voice was amiable: “Go to bed early, be careful tomorrow… I’ll be with you.”

“Okay, it’s okay.” Jiang Yifeng responded: “Good night, remember to drink milk before going to bed.”

Jiang Yifeng watched Xie Jingshen disappear before turning his gaze back to Guan Shaodong’s dumbfounded face.

Guan Shaodong was completely stunned.

It took him a long time to recover: “You like men?” He subconsciously wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and then thought of Jiang Yifeng’s voice just now. Guan Shaodong’s face turned red, and he squeezed out a sentence after a long time: “Why do you talk to him like that, like a girl, talking with a squeaky voice.”

“Girls don’t use squeaky voices, and my tone is very normal, right.” Jiang Yifeng looked at Guan Shaodong’s strict protection and couldn’t help but sneer: “I’m not interested in people who look like you.”

Guan Shaodong: “?”

Guan Shaodong was hurt and felt despised.

“You’re saying angry words, I don’t believe it.” Guan Shaodong said angrily.

Jiang Yifeng threw a pillow at him, put his phone aside, lay flat, and immediately fell asleep.

Guan Shaodong saw that Jiang Yifeng was sleeping peacefully, and didn’t take him, such a handsome guy, to heart at all, and for a while, he felt infinite emotion: “Why isn’t he a girl.”

Thinking about Jiang Yifeng wearing women’s clothing, Guan Shaodong felt sorry.

It would be great if he was a girl.

The scene to be filmed the next day was a small interlude in Jiang Yifeng’s scenes, but it was Gu Miao’s most important scene.

He had been learning from the martial arts instructor for several days, and the moves he made were already quite decent.

Jiang Yifeng and Gu Miao went through the moves several times, and every time Jiang Yifeng was suppressed on the ground, he could feel Gu Miao’s slight excitement.

However, Gu Miao did not take the opportunity to retaliate. Instead, every time he suppressed him, he would pull him up, and the two of them would continue to connect the moves. Because Gu Miao still followed every rule of the set moves, even if it looked like Jiang Yifeng was beaten very badly, in fact, the two of them did not touch each other a few times at all.

When the official shooting started, Jiang Yifeng was finally going to officially confront Gu Miao.

The two of them completed a set of connected moves, and Jiang Yifeng was beaten back steadily. He rushed up and was pierced by his master’s sword, only to pierce the other party’s chest with the long sword in his hand, but unfortunately, he was easily avoided by Ming An.

Gu Miao unloaded the sword in his hand and pressed the person hard on the ground.

Half of Jiang Yifeng’s face squeezed the ground, and the dust rubbed his cheeks very dirty.

Gu Miao looked at Jiang Yifeng expressionlessly.

Jiang Yifeng looked back with extreme hatred.

His heart moved.

Jiang Yifeng didn’t know why, but he felt that Gu Miao in front of him seemed to be trembling.

There was not much expression on his face, but his eyes were particularly dignified.

The camera from top to bottom could not capture Gu Miao’s expression, but Jiang Yifeng felt Gu Miao’s hand pressing the sword trembling slightly.

“You can’t kill me.” Gu Miao’s finger tapped Jiang Yifeng’s collarbone fiercely, destroying the assassin’s power. “I’ll spare your life, go.”

After saying that, Gu Miao got up, and Zhao Wenjun also called cut.

“Come, Jiang Yifeng, let’s shoot another set of eye shots.”

Zhao Wenjun called Jiang Yifeng’s name, and Gu Miao stood not far away watching Jiang Yifeng being suppressed in the mud with his body sideways. His eyes were surprisingly bright, and even if only his eyes and eyebrows were exposed, he could see his full hatred.

Gu Miao’s fist quietly clenched.

He suddenly felt a little fear and worry – that feeling had become more and more intense since he heard that person had taken care of someone from Ocean Media.

He didn’t want Jiang Yifeng to get up.

But Gu Miao felt that he was overthinking it again.

Can a small star who can only play the sixth supporting role in acting really rise up?

Jiang Yifeng finished shooting all the details before standing up while holding the ground.

He patted the dirt on his knees and smiled as he took the towel handed over by the assistant.

“The eyes were filmed really well.” Guan Shaodong gave Jiang Yifeng a thumbs up. “I heard that you’ve been in the industry for several years? You look so good and your acting is good too, why weren’t you popular before?”

“…Bad luck? Actually, I’ve filmed a lot of dramas.” Jiang Yifeng thought about his rich experience as a group actor and felt that he was also very experienced.

“Bad luck?” Guan Shaodong looked at Jiang Yifeng’s face: “How bad must the luck be? If I had your face, I wouldn’t take the power faction route… It’s too tiring, I’d just accept variety shows, reality shows, and interviews until my hands were soft, and I could become popular by playing a wooden beauty at random.”

“I think you might not be unlucky, maybe someone is afraid that you’ll become popular and deliberately suppressing you.”
