TRMP Chapter 9
by VolareHowever, after he asked, there was no response at the bottom of the screen.
Even Jiang Yifeng shook his head.
“You can’t help me.”
The system reminded him, [Your lover has rejected your help.]
But clearly, the system didn’t even give him the chance to help.
For the first time, Xie Jingshen felt that a dating game that didn’t even allow him to spend money wasn’t worthy of being called a game.
–Not tricking people into spending money, what kind of skill is that! Show some skill and let him spend money!
Perhaps the silence had lasted too long, and Jiang Yifeng’s legs were getting stiff from sitting.
He changed his posture, stretching one leg straight out and hugging his knee with his hand. This posture caused the already short pants to ride up a bit.
Xie Jingshen immediately moved the camera up.
“You… haven’t wiped off your makeup.”
Xie Jingshen’s reminder finally made Jiang Yifeng remember the makeup on his face.
Fortunately, as an actor, Jiang Yifeng always had a large bottle of makeup remover and cotton pads in his luggage.
He pinched a cotton pad and wiped upwards along his eyes, the black color spreading out like ink, but the pupils in the center remained as bright as ever.
Xie Jingshen suddenly closed his phone.
Jiang Yifeng looked at the disappearing white frame, a little confused in his mind: “What’s he doing?”
“Don’t know.”
The system also couldn’t understand how Xie Jingshen was so fickle—after all, as a high-level being, Xie Jingshen could completely cut off the system’s access to what was happening on the other side as soon as he closed his phone.
“He wouldn’t be…” Jiang Yifeng rested his hand on his chin: “Afraid I’ll make him go to bed at ten o’clock again, right?”
The system hesitated: “Maybe?”
After all, Xie Jingshen really didn’t seem like the kind of person who would be constrained by others.
Jiang Yifeng hummed softly, then buried himself in the bedding.
He slept soundly, and even played a game before going to bed, listening to his teammates’ praise, Jiang Yifeng had a good night’s sleep.
The internet, on the other hand, was in a chaotic uproar.
Su Xiaoyu’s fans and haters were arguing fiercely, and onlookers were adding fuel to the fire, with various rumors spreading like wildfire. Four or five trending topics were hanging on the charts, as if the entire internet was arguing about this matter—Su Xiaoyu instantly rose from a popular little flower in the fan circle to a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment circle, winning widespread attention.
But Jiang Yifeng wasn’t so lucky.
Passersby only praised the handsome guy casually, and almost no one was sincerely willing to speak up for him.
Although Su Xiaoyu’s haters were very active, they were only using Jiang Yifeng as a raft. As long as they could achieve their goal, who cared whether the raft sank or continued to float in the end?
Luo Qi only glanced at it a few times and felt that it was smoky and eye-straining.
And Su Xiaoyu’s team and the “Mu Yu Ge” public relations team, who were concerned about public opinion all night, also didn’t sleep all night.
In order not to affect the “clarification” effect, they needed to release the signed contract when the noise was at its loudest.
So when Jiang Yifeng arrived at the set the next day, many people present were in poor spirits.
Zhao Jinming, with big dark circles under his eyes, aimed at Jiang Yifeng while arranging lights and props.
When he saw Jiang Yifeng’s rosy complexion and energetic spirit, Zhao Jinming’s face darkened even more.
He waved and called him over, then lowered his voice and said, “We’re doing an interview tonight, you be prepared.”
“Okay, by the way, director, are all my scenes today in the morning?”
Zhao Jinming looked at Jiang Yifeng and didn’t think he was pretending.
He lamented in his heart ten thousand times: Jiang Yifeng’s mentality is really so good that it’s scary.
“If there are no delays, you only have scenes in the morning.” Zhao Jinming glanced at the list: “The interview is at seven o’clock after the filming ends in the afternoon. There will be a short interview on set, mainly introducing your character. There will be external media coming in, and maybe some fans…”
His intention was to tell Jiang Yifeng to be careful, but Jiang Yifeng seemed to be simply inquiring about the schedule, confirming it and leaving.
The weather was very good this morning, perfect to shoot a water scene.
As the male lead’s suitor, Jiang Yifeng, because of jealousy of the female lead, was controlled by his inner demons to push the female lead into the river. However, the female lead discovered this and dodged it, but was startled by the male lead’s voice and also fell into the river.
And Jiang Yifeng, this small cannon fodder, watched helplessly as the male lead rescued the female lead, failing to steal the chicken and losing the rice instead.
In the plot, this scene combined comedy, nonsense, sprinkled a wave of sweetness, punished the vicious male supporting character, and even highlighted the female lead’s resourcefulness.
But filming it wasn’t so easy.
Today the weather was sunny, with a maximum temperature of twenty-eight degrees.
However, the water temperature was much lower than the outside temperature. Even if the filming time was moved to the middle of the day, the water temperature was still terribly cold.
He finished his lines, then bumped into the female lead’s shoulder according to the script. The rope next to her was pulled, the female lead spun around to avoid it, and he threw himself into the lake.
Before Jiang Yifeng could choke on the water, Zhao Jinming called cut.
“You dodged too quickly just now, we have to do it again… Go change your clothes first and dry your hair.”
Zhao Jinming directed people to pull Jiang Yifeng up.
And Jiang Yifeng had to go and change into another costume, and then shoot the scene again.
Maybe Su Xiaoyu was too nervous, this scene failed to pass after three consecutive takes.
In the end, Su Xiaoyu had to walk through a few dry runs herself, and the fourth take was finally a complete success.
Jiang Yifeng’s palm reached out of the water, he struggled to reach out, his whole body floating to the surface and then sinking again.
After filming several close-ups of his struggle, he swallowed several mouthfuls of water before being pulled out of the water by the rope.
After this scene was finished, Jiang Yifeng lay on the edge of the water, and filmed the next scene with his whole body soaked.
By the time all the lines were finished, his lips were white, but after filming the entire scene, Su Xiaoyu went back wrapped in a thick blanket, while the assistant only threw a large towel at Jiang Yifeng, telling him to go change his costume.
Today’s filming was over, but Jiang Yifeng wasn’t relaxed at all.
He swallowed a lot of water when he fell into the water, and only felt a fishy taste in his mouth.
After changing his clothes, he leaned over the pool and retched, unable to vomit anything, only feeling a fishy sweetness in his nostrils.
Jiang Yifeng rubbed the tip of his nose with his hand.
He gasped for breath, his eyelashes also covered with a dense layer of water mist.
When Jiang Yifeng recovered, he sighed helplessly, “It’s really hard to earn money.”
His mouth was full of the taste of iron rust. The lunch box was very rich, but he still couldn’t eat a bite. He casually drank a few mouthfuls of mineral water to suppress the fishy taste, and then returned to the hotel.
He planned to take a shower and change his clothes, but when he opened the door, he saw four or five kinds of stomach medicine, cold medicine, and a pot of stewed chicken that had been cooked until soft and mushy on the table.
“System, was this prepared by Xie Jingshen?”
“Yes.”
The system didn’t tell Jiang Yifeng that Xie Jingshen had opened the APP early this morning.
Because he was afraid of affecting Jiang Yifeng’s work, the system didn’t give a special notification.
And Xie Jingshen watched Jiang Yifeng jump into the water again and again—the system’s perspective was closer and more realistic than the camera’s. Xie Jingshen saw him choking on the water mouthful after mouthful.
Xie Jingshen’s fingers rubbed the screen. He only watched half of it before closing the APP.
And when he opened the phone again at noon, he only saw Jiang Yifeng rinsing his mouth. His wet hair was stuck to his cheeks, and the originally high-spirited person was now lowering his head, spitting the dirty water out of his mouth, and didn’t even accept the lunch box.
So when the options popped up at the bottom of the phone, Xie Jingshen immediately chose several medicines, and also chose a chicken soup for Jiang Yifeng in the lunch options.
He couldn’t wait to fly to Jiang Yifeng’s side to supervise him to take the medicine, but the meeting at noon interrupted Xie Jingshen’s observation.
And that boss who didn’t care at first seemed to be gradually immersed in the game.
Jiang Yifeng gladly accepted the other party’s offer, but after taking the medicine and drinking the soup, Jiang Yifeng still looked worried.
“He rewarded me so much, but I don’t seem to have given him anything.” Jiang Yifeng twisted the tips of his fingers worriedly, and a look of concern appeared in his eyes.
The system showed the conscience of a money-grabbing game, “He took the initiative to give the money, accepting the money he gave is the greatest respect for him.”
Moreover, their game was already conscientious enough!
Several times Xie Jingshen wanted to directly give money, but they maintained their professional ethics and didn’t pop up a window!
“Because it’s not you receiving the money!” Jiang Yifeng looked at the exquisite takeaway box in his hand, he had never even heard of the restaurant name printed on it.
A trace of guilt towards Xie Jingshen arose in his heart—as a lover, he was really unprofessional!
He must make Xie Jingshen feel a strong sense of warmth!
Jiang Yifeng made up his mind, so he asked the system if he could send a gift to Xie Jingshen.
“There is a fee for express delivery of gifts.”
Jiang Yifeng was silent for a while, then changed his thinking: “Then is there no fee if it’s not express delivery?”
The crew finished filming for the day at four o’clock in the afternoon.
There was a crucial interview in the evening, and Su Xiaoyu, as the protagonist, was already so nervous that she didn’t know what to do.
–She had to face the reporters’ bombardments without revealing the slightest flaw.
Although the general questions had already been determined, and the agent had put the standard answers in front of her long ago, Su Xiaoyu felt even more nervous as she recited them.
“It’s okay, as long as tonight passes, the matter of you using a body double will be over.” The agent patted Su Xiaoyu’s shoulder and instructed, “As long as there are no mistakes on Jiang Yifeng’s side.”
“Chen Ruiyang that…”
“Chen Ruiyang is also worried that Jiang Yifeng will take advantage of his popularity, so he will cooperate with you to step on him. You don’t have to worry about anything, he’s the one who should be worried.”
The agent’s words made Su Xiaoyu feel a little relieved.
Thinking of Jiang Yifeng, Su Xiaoyu only felt angry and confused.
She was angry that Jiang Yifeng was stepping on her to rise up, and that his injury during filming had forced her to give up subsequent schedules and reshoot.
What confused her was that Jiang Yifeng, who had a good face and was destined to become popular in the entertainment industry, would completely bury his career tonight.
Su Xiaoyu was sad and worried about herself.
The more she recited, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she was so nervous that she could hardly speak.
The others were also busy arranging the interview for the evening.
And it wasn’t until almost seven o’clock that the big sucker of the night arrived late.
Jiang Yifeng rubbed the tip of his nose. He felt that tonight’s interview should be… uncomfortable.
He actually caught a cold because of falling into the water several times!
Jiang Yifeng once again lamented his weak body.
“You can’t deliver food without a good body in the future.”
He rubbed his eyebrows with his hand, sat down in his seat with a flushed face, and started playing Candy Crush.
