TRMP Chapter 30

Chapter 28

Jiang Yifeng had always felt that taking money from bastards was perfectly justified.

For example, the 500,000 yuan he received for his role in “Mu Yu Ge.”

He asked Xu Chen for leave and then spent a fortune of 2 yuan to ride his little electric scooter to the studio.

Inside the studio, all departments were preparing. Seeing Jiang Yifeng arrive, they handed him the interview script first.

Only then did Jiang Yifeng realize that the interview questions had been agreed upon long ago. All the actors had received the scripts in advance and would discuss the answers with their managers and assistants before participating in today’s interview.

However, Jiang Yifeng’s company didn’t care, and the other party couldn’t even find Luo Qi’s contact information, so he didn’t get the script until he arrived at the studio.

Jiang Yifeng flipped through the script. Fortunately, he only had one question.

Jiang Yifeng was thinking about how to answer when he didn’t notice the people coming and going around him. It wasn’t until someone sat down next to him, very close, that Jiang Yifeng turned his head in surprise.

Chen Ruiyang was actually sitting so close to him, and his expression actually showed a rare hint of gentleness.

Jiang Yifeng: “?”

Jiang Yifeng silently asked the system in his heart: “Is he sick? Has it affected his eyesight?”

System: “…”

Before Jiang Yifeng’s doubts could be answered, an assistant following closely behind raised a camera and took a picture of the two of them.

As soon as the picture was taken, Chen Ruiyang’s expression turned cold.

He stood up and walked around Jiang Yifeng, as if avoiding something dirty, even drawing an arc as he walked.

Jiang Yifeng felt that Chen Ruiyang might have been driven mentally unstable by the backstabbing in the entertainment industry.

“So pitiful.”

Jiang Yifeng sighed silently as he watched Chen Ruiyang’s back.

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Ruiyang’s assistant, standing not far away, pressed the shutter again.

The main subject of today’s interview was simple: various interesting anecdotes about the filming and some plot spoilers.

Jiang Yifeng’s seat was right next to Chen Ruiyang—because his character’s setting was close to Chen Ruiyang’s, the interviewers had specifically arranged for Jiang Yifeng and Su Xiaoyu to sit next to Chen Ruiyang. Su Xiaoyu sat in the first seat, with Chen Ruiyang in the seat below her.

Jiang Yifeng had no objections to the seating arrangement.

He closed his legs together to one side, leaning his body slightly forward, and looked extremely serious as he listened to them speak, with a smile always in his eyes.

His fingers were interlaced in front of him, looking relaxed and well-behaved, and his whole person exuded a gentle aura.

When the host livened up the atmosphere, Jiang Yifeng would also cooperate with a smile. However, during many of the boasts, his mind drifted away, and he wasn’t really present.

However, Jiang Yifeng was really good-looking.

In the live broadcast without beauty filters, ten lights were shining on the people on stage, making everyone look like they had their own soft-focus effects. However, Jiang Yifeng was still the one who was so good-looking that he made people’s hearts flutter.

Just a smile that bent his eyebrows and eyes was enough to make people unable to look away.

“Jiang Yifeng, is this your first time acting?” The host’s gaze fell on Jiang Yifeng’s face.

“No, I’ve acted in other things before. This is my first time playing a small villain,” Jiang Yifeng said gently.

Chen Ruiyang next to him also looked over. While Jiang Yifeng was answering seriously, Chen Ruiyang raised his voice and chuckled, “A small villain? I think he’s quite cute.”

–Are you sick?

Jiang Yifeng almost couldn’t hold back his expression.

But Chen Ruiyang didn’t seem to feel Jiang Yifeng’s rejection. Instead, he leaned even closer to him.

Half of Jiang Yifeng’s body stiffened. He pursed his lips, and his gaze slowly drifted to Chen Ruiyang. Then, amidst the host’s teasing about “You two have a really good relationship,” he felt that the world might have changed a little.

The host asked him again what he thought about the filming and what his views were on the show. Jiang Yifeng slowly leaned back in his seat and spoke, answering in official terms without revealing any gossip.

Chen Ruiyang’s gaze was always focused on Jiang Yifeng’s face, making Jiang Yifeng feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

He wanted to check the situation online after the interview, but the host then asked a question that wasn’t in the script.

“I see that Xiao Jiang seems to be filming a new show, and there’s been some controversy online. Everyone is saying that you have conflicts with Wang Mingchuan…” The host’s eyes were bright, and he was very much looking forward to Jiang Yifeng giving an answer.

Whether he belittled Wang Mingchuan or praised Wang Mingchuan, it would create a buzz for them.

“He didn’t say anything wrong.” Jiang Yifeng’s gaze was direct and clean, which stunned the host.

The camera’s close-up focused on Jiang Yifeng’s face, hoping to capture any trace of his irritation or special expression. But Jiang Yifeng’s expression was unusually clean.

He didn’t complain, nor did he gloss over the truth with superficial praise.

“He was talking about our state in the show. I’ve always played villains, and during that time, I played his teacher as a guest role,” Jiang Yifeng said lightly, “Sometimes, even I would get confused about my role.”

He didn’t take the responsibility on himself but instead told the truth in a different way, which made everyone present speechless.

Jiang Yifeng’s eyes still held a smile.

He was calm and composed.

Although the meaning of his words was still unfavorable to Wang Mingchuan, Jiang Yifeng chose a less harsh answer.

Now the crew had nothing to ask.

Looking at Jiang Yifeng’s eyes again, the host couldn’t ask any further questions and could only smooth things over and let the matter pass.

When their interview ended, Jiang Yifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He packed his things and prepared to leave. The host was still chatting with Su Xiaoyu. He walked around those people, put on his hat, and was about to leave when Chen Ruiyang called out to him.

Jiang Yifeng felt a little strange.

Chen Ruiyang… Jiang Yifeng still remembered how much Chen Ruiyang hated him, to the point of wanting to cut Jiang Yifeng’s scenes and kick him out of the crew.

But now, Chen Ruiyang was standing in front of him awkwardly.

Like love was hard to say.

“Is there anything I can help you with?” Jiang Yifeng’s gaze fell on Chen Ruiyang’s face.

Chen Ruiyang gritted his teeth and finally said, “There’s a contract I want to sign with you. To create a buzz with me and make you famous.”

If Chen Ruiyang’s manager hadn’t pulled the two of them into a room and explained it to Jiang Yifeng seriously, Jiang Yifeng would have thought Chen Ruiyang had gone crazy.

It turned out that one of Chen Ruiyang’s competitors had recently starred in a male-male drama. Chen Ruiyang had been waiting to laugh at him, but he didn’t expect that after the drama aired, the other party took advantage of the momentum and soared to the sky.

Seeing that his competitor of the same caliber was becoming extremely popular, coupled with the emergence of many follow-up projects, if he rushed to film a drama to ride the wave now, it would probably take a year and a half before it could be released.

Just thinking about it made Chen Ruiyang feel anxious.

And the only drama he had waiting to air was “Mu Yu Ge.”

“You just so happen to be playing a couple with Ruiyang in the drama…”

“Not a couple, I’m the villain.” Jiang Yifeng corrected him extremely seriously, “And when the drama is released, you’ll be creating a CP with Su Xiaoyu, not me.”

“As long as you sign the contract, someone will naturally help guide public opinion. And if you’re worried about the stunt double incident, I don’t think you need to think so much. Someone will help Su Xiaoyu resolve that,” the manager’s smile made Jiang Yifeng’s hair stand on end.

“Creating a CP is also good for you,” Chen Ruiyang said, frowning, “And what kind of traffic am I? What kind of traffic are you?”

Chen Ruiyang was just short of saying that Jiang Yifeng’s traffic was small and his popularity was low, and that creating a buzz with him would only be beneficial.

Jiang Yifeng was silent.

He wanted to think of a decent answer, but when his phone rang, Jiang Yifeng belatedly realized that it was ten o’clock.

It was the time he usually persuaded Xie Jingshen to sleep.

The interview had ended at nine-thirty. If he had left earlier and splurged on a taxi back to the hotel…

He might already be in the big bed at the hotel saying “good night” to Xie Jingshen.

But now, there was only Chen Ruiyang in front of him.

And his expression was terrible.

“No,” Jiang Yifeng said slowly, “I already have someone I’m flirting with. I can’t cooperate with you in creating a buzz. He’ll be unhappy.”

Chen Ruiyang’s manager smiled obsequiously, “It’s okay. Besides, things in the entertainment industry are half true and half false. Your… person you’re flirting with won’t be jealous of this.”

“He’s very jealous,” Jiang Yifeng repeated, “I can’t.”

After saying that, Jiang Yifeng didn’t dare to stay any longer.

The two people’s eyes were like knives. After Jiang Yifeng refused, the manager just snorted and said, “Many things in the entertainment industry are involuntary. Even if there’s no contract, it doesn’t mean it definitely won’t happen.” After saying that, the manager raised his head and looked at Jiang Yifeng mockingly, “I thought you should know this better than me.”

Even if Jiang Yifeng didn’t sign that contract to cover up the stunt double incident, he would be forced into a storm of public opinion.

It was the same this time.

It’s just that Jiang Yifeng didn’t agree this time.

“I have to be worthy of my partner.”

Jiang Yifeng smiled, “I can’t beat you, so I won’t play.”

After he said that, he left. When he rushed to the hotel, it was almost eleven o’clock.

Jiang Yifeng couldn’t say good night to Xie Jingshen, and he felt a little uneasy before going to sleep.

He took a bath, crawled into the quilt, and wrapped himself into a caterpillar. He grabbed a bit of the top of the quilt and asked the system with half-closed eyes, “Is Xie Jingshen asleep?”

“I can’t temporarily know the other party’s status unless the bound object clicks into the game system. Our system data with inanimate objects in another world is not connected, unless the intimacy between you and the bound object reaches a certain level, then the data interoperability function will be activated.”

The system said a lot of messy things, which made Jiang Yifeng’s head hurt.

He pouted aggrievedly. The composure he had when facing the host today and the calmness he had when facing Chen Ruiyang were all gone. Jiang Yifeng, with his messy hair, thought, “Forget it, it’s just one night without saying good night.”

He closed his eyes, calmed down, and planned to fall asleep early. Suddenly, he heard a laugh.

“Like this, you’re a bit like, a concubine.”

The author has something to say:

Jiang Xiaofeng facing others: I can’t beat you, so I won’t play.

Jiang Xiaofeng didn’t say good night to Xie Jingshen: Woo woo woo woo
