TRMP Chapter 54

Jiang Yifeng woke up and looked at the time, only to suddenly realize that he hadn’t been able to stay up late with Xie Jingshen last night.

With a heavy heart, he went to find Xie Jingshen, but immediately spotted Xie Jingshen, dressed in a suit and tie, wearing that sparkling tie clip.

It was the New Year’s gift he had hidden away, intending to give to Xie Jingshen in person.

Jiang Yifeng was stunned.

“Did I already give it away?” Jiang Yifeng frowned and muttered. “I wanted to give it in person.”

That way, he could see Xie Jingshen’s expression and tell him it was a gift for his boyfriend.

Xie Jingshen squeezed the tie clip and said softly, “You gave it to me this morning… I gave you a New Year’s gift this morning too, but you were sleeping so adorably that I didn’t want to disturb you.”

Jiang Yifeng’s eyes curved into crescents at Xie Jingshen’s praise, but he still regretted not handing the gift to Xie Jingshen himself.

He looked around and finally found Xie Jingshen’s gift by the door—Xie Jingshen’s gift was exquisitely wrapped, and when opened, revealed a red envelope and a neatly packaged set of clothes.

Jiang Yifeng carefully opened it and saw a pure white suit.

“Do you like it?” Xie Jingshen interlaced his fingers and placed them on the table, pressing the knuckles, clearly a little nervous.

Jiang Yifeng looked it over.

His fingers gently pinched the cuffs, finding the material of the suit very comfortable and soft against his skin.

Jiang Yifeng carefully took off his clothes and put on the suit, the close-fitting suit outlining his figure even more handsomely.

“It looks good.” Jiang Yifeng smiled, “Xie Jingshen, you still remember what I told you that day?”

“Actually, I wanted us to wear matching outfits.” Xie Jingshen slowly stood up, “I only need to wear formal attire on a few occasions… but whenever I wear formal attire, we’ll be wearing matching outfits.”

He couldn’t see Jiang Yifeng, nor could he have Jiang Yifeng officially appear by his side and accompany him, but Xie Jingshen could wear matching suits with Jiang Yifeng on every occasion, and Jiang Yifeng could do the same.

Just thinking about that scene made his heart soften considerably.

“That’s great.” Jiang Yifeng smiled too.

His soft gaze turned into a pool of gentle water.

“But…” Jiang Yifeng lowered his head and pinched the suit, “It doesn’t feel like this suit is any better than the one I bought.”

He wondered what Gu Miao was mocking.

Jiang Yifeng turned around in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror with satisfaction.

And Xie Jingshen, watching Jiang Yifeng wearing the same suit as him, was also thinking about what to send him next time.

Even if they couldn’t touch each other, they still had the same scent, wore the same clothes, and in the future, there would be more similar things that connected them.

They were a match made in heaven.

The drama started filming on the 15th, but he had to move into the production team before the 15th.

Jiang Yifeng packed his things and waved goodbye to his little apartment again.

Luo Qi personally accompanied him to the set. As his van drove into the residential area, Luo Qi frowned as he looked at the unguarded gate and building.

“We’re definitely going to be big stars in the future, living in a place like this… it’s so unsafe, there’s not even a security guard.”

Luo Qi tirelessly tried to persuade him, hoping that Jiang Yifeng would find a new place to live as soon as possible.

However, Jiang Yifeng remained unmoved.

“Brother Luo, I’ve lived here for five years, and all the decorations in the room have been added little by little over these five years. I can’t bear to move.” Jiang Yifeng said helplessly, “Besides, when I was so poor, the landlord lowered the rent for me… For so many years, my rent has been lower than the rent of nearby residents.”

“Then you can’t not move for the rest of your life, can you?”

“I want to buy it when I’ve saved enough money.”

Jiang Yifeng was quite attached to the house he had lived in for five years, and besides, he had just paid off his debts with his salary, and didn’t have much left. Luo Qi finally compromised.

He took Jiang Yifeng to the film set.

Before arriving, Luo Qi acted unusually calm, and told Jiang Yifeng to communicate and build relationships with the people in the crew.

However, as soon as he saw Zhao Wenjun, Luo Qi immediately smiled obsequiously, shook hands with him, and stuttered, “Director Zhao… Director Zhao, I’ve admired you for a long time… Director Zhao, let’s collaborate more in the future…”

Zhao Wenjun’s personality was very approachable.

He shook hands with Luo Qi politely, and when he saw Jiang Yifeng, his pace faltered for a moment, then he quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Jiang Yifeng.

“Oh, the real person is even more handsome than the photos.” Zhao Wenjun shook Jiang Yifeng’s hand vigorously, his excitement making Jiang Yifeng a little at a loss.

Jiang Yifeng nodded to Zhao Wenjun, and the director looked even more satisfied.

At this time, Jiang Yifeng realized how many big names were gathered in the crew.

In addition to the male lead being the most popular young actor in the Yanshi acting circle, all the supporting roles were characters that Jiang Yifeng had known since childhood from watching TV.

For the sake of ratings, the main cast was all new-generation actors, and the luxurious supporting cast made the whole team even more luxurious—just thinking about the status of the actors present, Jiang Yifeng could feel the investor’s importance to the TV series.

And the fact that he was able to grab a role was simply… too lucky!

Jiang Yifeng’s eyes lit up.

He hung out in the crew for a few days, taking costume photos with everyone, and became acquainted with the male lead, Guan Shaodong.

Guan Shaodong was already a sociable person with a good personality, the same age as Jiang Yifeng, but was jokingly called a “resource coffee” in Yanshi—his resources were super good, and he was clearly someone who could easily be criticized for being heavily promoted, but he successfully gained the audience’s favor through several good works.

When Jiang Yifeng interacted with Guan Shaodong, he also knew why Guan Shaodong’s resources were strong, but his reputation in the circle was good.

One was that he had a strong background, and the other was that his sociable, chatty personality was really hard to hate.

They took costume photos and held a launch ceremony on the 15th.

The media and reporters at the launch ceremony were almost pushing the supporting actors out. Zhao Wenjun’s table was full of microphones, and reporters from different places kept asking Zhao Wenjun questions, chasing him for various questions about the TV series.

As a member of the supporting cast, Jiang Yifeng could only stand outside the media group, watching the lively scene inside.

Guan Shaodong, as the male lead, was somehow squeezed out of the media group.

He leaned against Jiang Yifeng, lowered his voice, and gossiped to Jiang Yifeng, “Do you know why there are so many reporters today?”

His expression was smug, his face full of “you ask me quickly”.

Jiang Yifeng had no choice but to follow his lead and asked, “Well, why are there so many reporters today?”

“Because they got the news that Gu Miao wants to play a role in our film.”

Jiang Yifeng suddenly heard the name “Gu Miao” and was surprised for a moment.

Guan Shaodong thought Jiang Yifeng was also very surprised, so he continued to share his inside information triumphantly: “Gu Miao originally seemed to be fighting for your role, but was rejected by Director Zhao, saying the reason was not handsome enough…”

Jiang Yifeng didn’t think Gu Miao would hold a grudge against him for such a small thing.

After all, he didn’t know about Gu Miao’s fight for the role at all, and the decision was in Zhao Wenjun’s hands.

“I don’t know if Gu Miao, who is so proud, will still insist on acting after being rejected.” Guan Shaodong sighed softly.

Jiang Yifeng shook his head, a little worry faintly growing in his heart.

But thinking of Zhao Wenjun’s reason for rejecting Gu Miao, Jiang Yifeng felt relieved again.

He didn’t have confidence in his own luck and resources, but in terms of his face… Jiang Yifeng thought he was super handsome.

The launch ceremony lasted for more than three hours, and the first scene didn’t start until the afternoon.

Jiang Yifeng watched the male lead act in the opening scene, and his scenes started from tomorrow morning.

While watching Guan Shaodong act, he carefully watched the surrounding actors.

Gu Miao was clearly not in the crew.

Jiang Yifeng withdrew his gaze.

Zhao Wenjun had high requirements for filming, but he didn’t require the aesthetic sense of every shot like Xu Chen.

Sometimes, the material he shot was often Guan Shaodong’s ugliest angle, but because the content and atmosphere were in place, Zhao Wenjun beautifully used the ugliest version from the ugliest angle.

Jiang Yifeng: “…”

Jiang Yifeng secretly looked in the mirror in private, trying to see what he looked like when his nostrils were shot from below.

However, Jiang Yifeng soon realized that Zhao Wenjun’s requirements for each person were different.

When he filmed the next day, he had to wear women’s clothing and play the role of a girl in a lively brothel, waiting for the male lead, who wanted to see the brothel after time traveling, to enter the brothel and order the courtesan, and then meet the male lead disguised as the courtesan.

He changed into a woman’s clothes, a light and thin gauze garment draped over his shoulders.

In order to conceal his male characteristics, the makeup artist not only changed Jiang Yifeng’s hairstyle, but also used fluffy, opaque clothing to cover his slightly broad shoulders.

When filming began, Jiang Yifeng only needed to stand in the woman’s room, and after Guan Shaodong finished selecting the courtesan, he would walk in and help Guan Shaodong undress.

He originally thought that this funny plot would still follow the previous filming of Guan Shaodong, using unique angles and slightly distorted and strange expressions of the characters to make people laugh.

However, when a camera attempted to shoot from the bottom up, it was stopped by Zhao Wenjun.

“When shooting him, remove all the upward-shooting cameras and shoot from a bird’s-eye view.”

“But he’s quite tall…”

“Shoot from a bird’s-eye view.”

Zhao Wenjun was unusually persistent.

Jiang Yifeng listened from the side, thought for a moment, and his gaze drifted to Zhao Wenjun.

Jiang Yifeng’s character was a death warrior who always placed himself in a low position, and regarded his master as his belief throughout his life.

And he always appeared beside the male lead, standing by his side, but always a humble person.

Although bird’s-eye view shots were simple, they could easily set the tone of the character’s identity from the lens.

At this moment, Jiang Yifeng admired Zhao Wenjun immensely.

As the music sounded, the red gauze slanted, and the hazy red obscured the young man’s vision.

He lightly lifted the curtain and fell on the bed, the young man, who had drunk a few more glasses of wine, was already drunk, holding the wine glass and kicking his feet, feeling the wonderful and happy ancient life.

The door opened, footsteps slowly approaching, he opened his drunken eyes, only to see a slender figure walking slowly behind the hazy gauze.

He closed his eyes again, feeling the beauty come behind him.

A pair of soft and boneless hands gently took off his coat, the fingers pressing on his shoulders, teasing the young man’s heart.

He couldn’t help but grab that hand, and looked towards the person along the hand.

Eyebrows like paintings, lips as red as blood.

The young man was about to call out when he heard the beauty speak.

“Master.”

—Clearly a man!

The author has something to say:

Jiang Xiaofeng’s first cross-dressing was contributed to Guan Shaodong.

President Xie is angry.

But President Xie can buy Jiang Xiaofeng the kind of women’s clothing that he can’t wear in the crew to make up for it.
