TRMP Chapter 78

The crew looked at Gu Miao cautiously, afraid of angering him.

Zhao Wenjun frowned and couldn’t help but tug at Gu Miao’s clothes. He leaned close and whispered, “Let’s talk about anything over there.”

Gu Miao also realized he had lost his composure.

The corners of his mouth flattened, and he unusually failed to maintain his indifferent expression.

Gu Miao’s outward demeanor was not overbearing.

On the contrary, even when conflicts arose, Gu Miao would often have his studio come forward as the villain, while he remained aloof and unperturbed. Occasionally, he would do some favors, earning him a decent reputation in the entertainment circle.

Zhao Wenjun was also aware of the capabilities of Gu Miao’s team, but he had never seen Gu Miao himself lose his temper.

This was the first time he had seen Gu Miao lose his composure so openly.

After thinking it over, he could only assume that Gu Miao was angry about the role again.

Zhao Wenjun was displeased but still took the initiative to reconcile, “Gu Miao, it’s just a role. Guan Yiqiang wouldn’t let Guan Shaodong share equal billing with someone and let you mess with the script.”

“I just feel that the character of Death Servant has a lot of potential to explore, and we can also lengthen the conflict line between Death Servant and the male lead…” Gu Miao shook his head, “It’s just that your focus isn’t on Death Servant.”

Of course, Zhao Wenjun knew that the conflict between Death Servant and the male lead could be extended.

However, Zhao Wenjun didn’t want to.

Zhao Wenjun simply didn’t want to offend Guan Shaodong and Guan Yiqiang.

Gu Miao stopped talking.

Zhao Wenjun said helplessly, “Stop staring at the role of Death Servant. Jiang Yifeng didn’t steal your role. Let’s film properly. Tomorrow is your last confrontation scene. He doesn’t have many scenes left. Finish filming it well. The character setting of Ming An is more likely to gain fans than Death Servant…”

Gu Miao didn’t speak.

Zhao Wenjun thought Gu Miao had agreed. He breathed a sigh of relief, patted Gu Miao’s shoulder, and turned back to continue preparing for other work.

Gu Miao stood in place and glanced forward lightly.

Jiang Yifeng had just finished talking to the assistant director about the filming tomorrow and was standing with Guan Shaodong.

Gu Miao chuckled softly in his throat.

“So that’s what it is… just like me.”

Jiang Yifeng subconsciously turned his head to look.

He noticed that Gu Miao had just withdrawn his gaze, his expression looking as calm as ever.

Jiang Yifeng patted Guan Shaodong with his hand.

“Does he have some kind of grudge against me?”

Jiang Yifeng pointed to himself.

“Besides the role of Death Servant, is there anything else? But when snatching the role of Death Servant, he targeted me and slandered me for a while…” Guan Shaodong paused for a moment, then frowned, “You two shouldn’t, right? I haven’t heard your name much before. But Gu Miao became an instant hit with his first drama four years ago and has been popular for almost five years. The person with the deepest conflict with him should be the head of Xinghai Media.”

Jiang Yifeng was a little confused.

Four years ago, he had already resigned himself to delivering food. How did he provoke Gu Miao?

He seemed to have known him for a long time.

Jiang Yifeng stopped thinking about it when he couldn’t figure it out.

When he looked for Xie Jingshen in the evening, he also told Xie Jingshen about his doubts.

“I can’t figure out why he’s trying to make trouble for me.” Jiang Yifeng rested his chin on the table, his face tilted slightly to one side. The stacked round face was pressed against the table, squeezing out round cheek flesh, looking fleshy, cute, and well-behaved.

Xie Jingshen looked at the soft flesh squeezed out of Jiang Yifeng’s cheeks and couldn’t help but pinch the little doll’s cheek hard.

He had touched Jiang Yifeng’s cheek. If his fingers really touched it, he could feel that it was all soft.

However, the doll under his palm was stitched and even felt prickly.

Xie Jingshen looked down at the little doll.

Sure enough, once he touched the real thing, he began to dislike the old one. He thought it was ugly and cute when he first saw it, and very beautiful.

“Don’t know.” Xie Jingshen saw that the system couldn’t give any hints, so he raised his eyelashes and smiled, “But if he attacks you, listen to me, I’ll give you money, and we’ll buy marketing accounts to smash him.”

Xie Jingshen was too far away to help.

But Xie Jingshen at least knew that marketing accounts in the entertainment circle could be smashed with money.

He had nothing else.

He only had money.

If the garbage system didn’t help, he would have to help Jiang Yifeng find a way.

“Xie Jingshen, you’re so extravagant.” Jiang Yifeng’s eyes curved, “It’s okay, I haven’t done anything, he can’t say I’m bullying him.”

Jiang Yifeng tried to avoid Gu Miao as much as possible, staying far away, and couldn’t even take a misleading photo, so he definitely wouldn’t let him find an excuse.

Xie Jingshen looked at the blank interface of the garbage game and could only remind him, “Teacher Jiang, don’t hide anything from me. I’ll be angry if you hide it from me.”

Looking at Xie Jingshen’s appearance, Jiang Yifeng couldn’t help laughing. “I won’t hide it from you, Xie Jingshen. I never hide anything from you.”

The next day, when Jiang Yifeng and Gu Miao were acting together, the other party behaved particularly coldly, seeming too lazy to even look at Jiang Yifeng.

And the character of Ming An looked down on Death Servant in the first place, so his cold and disdainful expression was also interpreted vividly, making the male lead’s immortal master exceptionally moving.

After a group scene was filmed, everyone was exhausted. Even Jiang Yifeng was thrown into the mud several times to complete the whole scene.

His face was covered with mud, his clothes were completely dirty, and his face and hair were covered in gray.

One of the crew members ran over and handed Jiang Yifeng a few wet wipes, also helping Jiang Yifeng wipe the dust off his body. His courteous appearance made Jiang Yifeng himself a little uncomfortable.

“Teacher Jiang, I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect to shoot so many times today… Did you get hurt just now?”

The supporting actor next to him also walked over and said apologetically.

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and laughed, “The soil is soft. I’m a man. What could happen?”

His body had only rolled on the ground a few times. He looked embarrassed, but in reality, nothing happened.

The concern of the crew and other actors made Jiang Yifeng feel particularly new.

After the two people confirmed again that Jiang Yifeng was really okay, they slowly left.

And Jiang Yifeng noticed that Gu Miao seemed to be looking at him just now.

Gu Miao’s role only required him to knock down everyone present in a very handsome manner, then land behind Guan Shaodong and say, “Who dares to touch my disciple?”

The remaining scenes were just sitting and watching Guan Shaodong show off.

His fight scenes mainly relied on “inner strength” to achieve, so there was no possibility of injury. But he had the most people around him, offering warmth and care, handing water and wiping sweat. The assistant director handed flowers to celebrate the completion of filming, taking group photos, signing autographs…

But he was paying attention to Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng was confused.

He drank water from a bottle of mineral water, and Guan Shaodong walked over from the other side of the set. He looked at Jiang Yifeng’s face covered in dust and couldn’t help but ask loudly, “Teacher Jiang, are you injured, Teacher Jiang?”

Jiang Yifeng rolled his eyes at Guan Shaodong.

Guan Shaodong didn’t mind Jiang Yifeng’s attitude at all and stood next to Jiang Yifeng, lowering his voice and said, “The fight scene just now was really good. You can’t tell at all that you don’t have any skills.”

“You can see skills even when being beaten?”

“Being beaten is when you can see the most skills. They use inner strength, and you use moves. I can’t give you special effects with the naked eye…” Guan Shaodong said, then laughed again, “I heard that Director Zhao is planning to promote you. A TV drama script from one of his relatives is being filed and needs a good actor.”

“There are many good actors.” Jiang Yifeng didn’t believe those rumors.

Before a contract is actually signed for any resources in the entertainment circle, it can’t be determined who will act.

Even if a contract is signed but not officially announced, there are still many variables.

Snatching roles, resource replacement, betting…

All kinds of situations can happen.

“I don’t know what the script is like, but it can sell Director Zhao a favor…” Guan Shaodong had only heard a little news. Zhao Wenjun didn’t personally decide, but he passed a little wind to Jiang Yifeng through Guan Shaodong, meaning don’t take on new work for the time being.

Jiang Yifeng has become a little popular recently. “Mu Yu Ge” didn’t become popular, but Jiang Yifeng did.

Luo Qi used all kinds of methods to suppress the company from letting Jiang Yifeng take on messy variety shows and interviews. But there were still continuous jobs lined up behind him. Once Jiang Yifeng finished filming Zhao Wenjun’s drama, other crews would definitely invite him to participate, and the asking price would also increase.

Zhao Wenjun’s meaning was to hold back the subsequent dramas. Maybe there would still be a chance to cooperate with him.

Jiang Yifeng understood the subtext.

He tapped his head a little embarrassedly, then sighed softly.

“Forget it.” Jiang Yifeng said slowly, “I’ll try with the company first…”

After all, the company’s resources also have time limits. Unless a crew is willing to lose money to delay filming and wait for an artist’s schedule, the filming time between resources is also one after another. If you miss it, you can only wait for the next one.

Now that Zhao Wenjun is helping to suppress it, the company is only arranging interviews for him.

But when the drama is finished, Jiang Yifeng will have to bear the pressure himself.

“Do you want me to help you talk?” Guan Shaodong asked tentatively.

“No need.” Jiang Yifeng shook his head. “Someone in our company wanted to jump ship a while ago…”

“Yang Yan? Right? I saw that her momentum was still good before. Now she’s been snowed, right? The methods are too low-level.” Guan Shaodong knows very well about the gossip that can be told to outsiders.

“Don’t make our company think I want to jump ship too.” Jiang Yifeng patted Guan Shaodong’s shoulder hard.

He and Yang Yan are not very alike.

The company didn’t collect Yang Yan’s liquidated damages in the first place in order to occupy an absolutely advantageous position in that public opinion.

But once Jiang Yifeng’s affairs of running food delivery, being a group performer, and taking online jobs are found out, it will definitely be a breach of contract. As Jiang Yifeng has earned a lot of remuneration recently, his liquidated damages have begun to increase, making it even more difficult to pay back.

Guan Shaodong pouted and finally gave up helping.

Jiang Yifeng still filmed according to his own rhythm. In the following days, his scenes were very concentrated. After filming for about ten days in a row, Jiang Yifeng finally filmed the final scene.

His chest was pierced by a long sword, and his mouth was stained red with blood. He vomited blood, and even his originally cold expression was made even more gorgeous by the heat of the blood.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his pupils seemed to have lost focus.

The male lead hugged Death Servant tightly, his expression changing from confusion to shock, and finally staying on anger.

“How dare you—” The male lead erupted, and the power hidden in his body was instantly stimulated. The people around him were shaken open and vomited blood, and some people were even crushed to death directly under the pressure of the powerful inner strength.

But the male lead’s gaze stayed on Death Servant.

He desperately wiped Death Servant’s lips with his hands, but Death Servant’s eyes were empty.

“Death Servant lives for the master and dies for the master.”

Death Servant recited.

“I have completed the task and should rest.”
