TRMP Chapter 5
by VolareWhen Jiang Yifeng woke up the next day, he completely forgot what he had mumbled to Xie Jingshen the night before.
He asked the system and confirmed that he had thanked Xie Jingshen, but he was still uneasy.
“Could it be that the thank you was a bit too hasty?”
Looking at Jiang Yifeng’s cautious appearance, the system couldn’t help but comfort him: “It’s okay, maybe he doesn’t care at all.”
“Even if he doesn’t care, I still have to thank him.” Jiang Yifeng said seriously: “Besides, I am his lover, shouldn’t I care about him more?”
Just like idols need to provide fans with emotional value and cannot fall in love, since Jiang Yifeng has become Xie Jingshen’s “lover,” he must create a good romantic image and atmosphere.
Jiang Yifeng believes that he can be very dedicated in any job he does.
The system admiringly gave Jiang Yifeng a heart. The pink circles hovering in Jiang Yifeng’s mind almost made him think he was poisoned.
He got out of bed, washed up, and when he rushed to the set, the stagehands and props were already there.
Zhao Jinming, with bloodshot eyes, looked at Jiang Yifeng, who had rushed over, with displeasure: “Go and do your makeup quickly. We’re tight on schedule today, don’t waste time.”
But after Jiang Yifeng finished his makeup, the main actors hadn’t arrived yet.
Jiang Yifeng was in the fourth scene. He sat outside the set memorizing his lines. By the time the two main actors arrived late, the morning shoot was already ruined.
The unknown Su Xiaoyu had already done her makeup and changed her clothes early. She smiled charmingly and apologized to Zhao Jinming, and asked her assistant to order milk tea for everyone in the crew.
However, the male lead Chen Ruiyang was nowhere to be seen. Even though he had changed his clothes, he sat slowly by the lights touching up his makeup, making Su Xiaoyu wait alone.
Jiang Yifeng vaguely sensed the storm brewing within the crew.
He held his hard-earned milk tea and avoided the crowd, hiding behind a pillar in the main hall, carefully watching the farce on the set.
Jiang Yifeng sucked on his milk tea while observing them.
Chen Ruiyang was clearly having a disagreement with Zhao Jinming. The assistant kept running between Zhao Jinming and Chen Ruiyang. Chen Ruiyang’s expression was ugly, and his temper was cold and hard. Zhao Jinming was clearly also very angry and didn’t even want to look at Chen Ruiyang.
The two of them were at a stalemate for a while, and the time was already late—the filming had already been delayed due to the stunt double incident, and many shots had to be reshot and re-filmed. Chen Ruiyang, as an actor, didn’t care, but Zhao Jinming couldn’t afford to delay.
“Jiang Yifeng, Su Xiaoyu, let’s shoot the fourth scene first.”
The fourth scene was where Jiang Yifeng meets Su Xiaoyu. After learning that she knows the male lead Chen Ruiyang, he excitedly asks her about Chen Ruiyang—the drama doesn’t explicitly state that Jiang Yifeng likes Chen Ruiyang’s character, but the scenes and words constantly hint at Jiang Yifeng’s attention to Chen Ruiyang.
And Jiang Yifeng’s first appearance, which was his meeting with the male lead Chen Ruiyang, was moved to be filmed later.
During the rehearsal, Jiang Yifeng finally learned the reason for Chen Ruiyang’s disagreement from others.
“Doesn’t want to have a scandal with me?”
Jiang Yifeng felt very wronged.
——He already has a “lover”! As a qualified and dedicated partner, Jiang Yifeng would never actively have any scandals with other men.
How could that be possible?
Jiang Yifeng only felt incredible.
He went on stage with a dazed feeling, but Su Xiaoyu’s face also looked very ugly.
“Don’t forget your lines when we film later.” Su Xiaoyu said impolitely.
Jiang Yifeng just smiled at Su Xiaoyu, without any flattery, but without any alienation or rejection either.
With Zhao Jinming’s “action,” Su Xiaoyu lifted her skirt and ran smiling from the corridor. Her pretty face was full of smiles, and she accidentally bumped into the other person’s shoulder as she brushed past them.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” The little girl immediately lowered her head to apologize.
“Hmm?” Jiang Yifeng raised his eyelids: “Whose young lady is this?”
“She’s that one’s…” The playboy next to him winked at Jiang Yifeng. Jiang Yifeng’s eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth were already raised. He smiled and lowered his head, staring into Su Xiaoyu’s eyes. He held a fan against his lips, and a pair of beautiful almond eyes shone brightly: “Younger sister?”
The slow-motion shot focused on Jiang Yifeng’s face. Under the camera, those eyes were surprisingly bright, and the slightly raised eyelids revealed a thick smile.
Zhao Jinming’s body suddenly sat up.
He stared at the camera, first smiling, but soon frowned.
The fourth scene was the first encounter between Jiang Yifeng and Su Xiaoyu.
Originally, he thought that Jiang Yifeng only had one day to prepare, and it was his first time acting, so it would be normal for him to have a few NGs.
But Jiang Yifeng performed very perfectly. Su Xiaoyu had filmed so many scenes, but she was led by Jiang Yifeng—his every smile seemed to be able to draw people into his emotions, so as to perform at their best.
After one scene, even Su Xiaoyu forgot to find fault with Jiang Yifeng, and instead looked at Zhao Jinming in surprise.
“Su Xiaoyu, reshoot a few close-up shots, the rest of you can pass.”
Jiang Yifeng and the others retreated. A few close-up shots were taken of Su Xiaoyu’s face. Su Xiaoyu tried to find the feeling just now, but she couldn’t concentrate her attention at all.
Zhao Jinming tried a few times, but Su Xiaoyu couldn’t return to the state she was in just now.
“Let’s find the feeling first, then come back.” Zhao Jinming called a halt to the shooting, and Su Xiaoyu’s face also turned red.
She also realized that something was wrong at this time, and her gaze quietly fell on Jiang Yifeng.
And Jiang Yifeng finished drinking the remaining half cup of milk tea—after filming one scene, the milk tea was still hot.
“Jiang Yifeng, can you help me find the feeling? It’s a bit dry to rehearse alone.” Su Xiaoyu looked at this former stunt double and current colleague of hers for the first time.
Jiang Yifeng quickly walked forward and stood in front of Su Xiaoyu.
Jiang Yifeng has a beautiful face. If he was born a woman, Su Xiaoyu would definitely not have a good face for him.
But Jiang Yifeng is a man.
Still a man whose future and fate have been bought out in one go.
Thinking of the press releases prepared by the company, Su Xiaoyu rarely felt a little pity for the smiling man in front of her.
“Wait a while, stay away from me and help me find the feeling.” Su Xiaoyu nodded to Jiang Yifeng, and then widened the distance between them.
After a few scenes, Su Xiaoyu successfully completed the shooting, and Jiang Yifeng also smiled and returned to the side.
The eighth and tenth scenes shot on the long corridor belonged to two supporting actors. The remaining three scenes of Jiang Yifeng needed to be completed in cooperation with Chen Ruiyang, but the well-known hardworking young man in the entertainment industry never appeared.
Jiang Yifeng could only wait by the side of the set, while looking down and memorizing his lines, while waiting to film.
[Your lover wants to talk to you.]
Jiang Yifeng froze.
However, thinking of the informal thank you from last night, Jiang Yifeng immediately put down his milk tea and found a secluded place.
At this time, the transparent white frame was already floating in mid-air. Xie Jingshen coldly looked at the busy little person on the screen. Only after he finally hid in the corner did he open his mouth and ask: “You slept so late last night, why did you get up so early?”
“Hmm?” Jiang Yifeng raised his head, his eyes shining. His costume and appearance further set off Jiang Yifeng as a dashing and unrestrained young master from a prominent family.
This Jiang Yifeng had a different kind of beauty compared to when he was in modern clothes. With the addition of light makeup, Jiang Yifeng was so beautiful that he was simply glowing.
“Are you sleepy?” Xie Jingshen changed his posture. He crossed his legs and changed his way of asking.
After all, the intelligence of AI is limited, and it may not understand complex words other than keywords—although Xie Jingshen didn’t know why he woke up and was so obsessed with talking to an AI.
“Not sleepy.” Jiang Yifeng blinked: “Xie Jingshen, was I almost asleep last night?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry.” Jiang Yifeng showed an embarrassed look on his face.
Xie Jingshen lowered his eyes. He didn’t know what Jiang Yifeng had to apologize for.
“I originally wanted to wait for you, but I accidentally fell asleep.” Jiang Yifeng’s distressed expression fell into Xie Jingshen’s eyes. The tip of his nose was a little red, and his fingers were clenched tightly. His distressed and hesitant appearance was vividly displayed on the screen.
That AI was so flexible that it was like a living person.
“Thank you for the meal yesterday at noon.” Jiang Yifeng nodded to Xie Jingshen: “It was delicious.”
He smiled so much that his eyes curved.
Xie Jingshen subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the screen, but before his finger could press on it, a voice-over dialog box popped up on the screen.
At the same time, Jiang Yifeng heard someone inside the set call out: “Jiang Yifeng! The first scene is about to start, how long are you planning to make Brother Chen wait!”
Jiang Yifeng’s attention immediately shifted over there. He smiled apologetically at Xie Jingshen, and then quickly ran to the side of the set.
The scenery in Xie Jingshen’s phone moved with Jiang Yifeng.
Then he saw Jiang Yifeng bowing his head and apologizing to two NPCs, pitifully lowering his eyes, without arguing, and just accepting all the other party’s difficulties.
The white dialog box on the screen showed the other party’s words scolding Jiang Yifeng.
After the person on the screen disappeared, a system prompt popped up: [Your lover was scolded by the crew because of you, and he is being ostracized even more.]
Xie Jingshen’s eyes deepened.
He knew that in order to stimulate spending, games often set up many obstacles and extreme situations, just to get people to solve the current predicament by spending money.
His fingers gently rubbed on the screen. Xie Jingshen’s eyes revealed all kinds of complicated expressions. He put down his phone and flipped open the document in his hand.
Time passed minute by minute, and the recharge interface did not pop up on the phone screen again.
The live broadcast screen above was also paused, and the silent black screen showed a kind of very unrestrained self.
Xie Jingshen endured and endured again, but when he opened the APP again, the second sentence popped up on the screen.
“Your lover has gone to work to earn money~”
A question mark popped up in Xie Jingshen’s mind.
He impatiently picked up the phone and called his friend. When he asked the question in his mind, his friend was first stunned.
“Do you mean you’re really playing that otome game? How is it? Is your paper-lover wife good-looking?
“I’m just asking you, is that game designed according to the real world? Why is the modeling so realistic?”
“Yes, the modeling is realistic because many scenes are actually collected and then modified through 3D modeling. What’s wrong? Don’t you like 3D wif-”
“Since you said it’s a dating game, everyone’s targets are different, why do you think your wife would be the same as mine?”
Author’s words:
President Xie: I won’t have the same wife as others, right?
