After being forced to confess his love, Cheng Yan felt the pleasure of going all out.

The level of "love, not love" has passed, and Ouyang Zhiyi's actions have also restrained. Days are getting better again.

The happiest thing is that Director Lu added scenes for him, mainly the scenes with Tang Bohu. "Shoot it out first, it's not sure if it will be used." Director Lu greeted him. Cheng Yan smiled: "I'm happy if I can shoot."

As soon as Ouyang Zhi was in front of the camera, he was very likable. Acting is one thing, the most important thing is that he never has to work to make things difficult for his opponents. Playing opposite him is easy to get involved and is a kind of enjoyment.

On the contrary is Ji Rulan. Originally, in Cheng Yan's impression, her acting skills were good—Ying Ning acted very delicately and smartly. It was only later that I found out that she could act well because Director Lu worked it out one by one. This time, Qiuxiang's character was not as colorful as Yingning's, and it was even more difficult to act.

Ji Rulan was not allowed to play Qiuxiang's gentleness and strength, either she used too much force, like a working woman turned over to be the master; Director Lu couldn't take it anymore because he knew her details. Not to mention Ouyang Zhiyi.

Probably because the patience to tease Ji Rulan was exhausted, Ouyang Zhiyi finally turned black.

Cheng Yan had just started working that day when he realized that the atmosphere at the scene was not right. The staff members were all on the verge of an enemy, and they dared not speak loudly. Cheng Yan was surprised: "What's the matter?"

The little girl from the clothing team who came over to try on his clothes frowned: "I'm filming a crying scene, old Ji Rulan is NG."

Cheng Yan was surprised: "Isn't this scene scheduled for this morning?" It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

"So..." the little girl sighed.

This crying scene was after Tang Bohu was wronged, and his only sister died of illness. He felt sad and cried loudly. Qiuxiang was heartbroken and comforted with tears. All kinds of feelings and affection intertwined. Finally, she broke out and confessed to Tang Bohu: "I love you! No matter you are rich or poor, I will marry you!"

It can be regarded as Qiuxiang's most emotional scene in the play.

But Ouyang Zhiyi's eyes were already swollen from crying, and Ji Rulan's Qiuxiang was still acting in various ways.

When Cheng Yan came to watch, he saw Ouyang Zhiyi crying again, and Ji Rulan was standing there, speaking his lines a little hoarsely: "Bohu! I..."

As soon as she said a few words, Cheng Yan knew that she couldn't get past this one. As expected, Director Lu called to stop, and Ouyang Zhiyi immediately jumped up to stop his tears, trembling with anger.

Ji Rulan was also so frightened that she cried, although she looked very pitiful, this kind of situation could only make people feel angrier. Ouyang Zhiyi did not comfort her, instead he sneered: "Let Cheng Yan play Qiuxiang better than you!"

It was the first time Cheng Yan found out that Ouyang Zhiyi was so mean-mouthed—he insisted on getting involved with Ji Rulan even though it was an affirmation of himself.

There were actually some staff members snickering around. It may not be that he really thought Ouyang Zhiyi's words were funny, but he was dissatisfied with Ji Rulan's procrastination.

As expected, Ji Rulan cried even louder. Director Lu's stubborn temper also came up, he insisted on filming this scene well today, and took Ji Rulan to train him alone.

Ouyang Zhi didn't see Cheng Yan until he came out, knowing that he had heard what he just said, he wasn't embarrassed, but instead showed a self-conscious smile.

The premise is that if his eyes are not so swollen, he will be really elegant.

Cheng Yan handed him a cigarette.

At this time, the two of them subtly felt that they were fighting against each other - it must be known that the next match would be the rivalry between Cheng Yan and Ji Rulan. But judging by today's progress, whether it can be photographed is still a problem.

Ouyang's assistant came over with a hot towel and eye mask, and while covering Ouyang's eyes, he muttered: "It's a crime to take pictures of the inner seal in two days..."

Hearing this, Ouyang thought of something, and asked Cheng Yan: "We are going to shoot the calendar together this year, you know?"

Cheng Yan nodded, Teacher Yang had already mentioned it to him before. The company is going to shoot the New Year's calendar, there are only four men, Ouyang Zhiyi, him, Shen Leming, and a singer.

Before this, Cheng Yan had never been on the company calendar. It is said that many problems can be seen in the annual cover photo.

Ouyang Zhiyi held a cigarette, but didn't smoke it. With two eye masks like adhesive tape hanging under his face, he said very deeply, "It's time for you to take over this year."

When I am making a movie.

Cheng Yan smiled: "What's the superior or not." He said a few words politely: "You have a good rest, you will have to toss about it later."

Ouyang Zhiyi stopped him: "Cheng Yan."

Cheng Yan paused.

"I've always been very optimistic about you, really," he said very sincerely, "I really wanted to help you back then."

It's okay if he didn't mention the past, but when he did, Cheng Yan couldn't even fake a smile: "Thank you so much. I was the one who didn't know good and bad back then, and I wasted your kindness."

Ouyang still smiled: "You know I didn't mean that."

He thought for a while: "Okay, I want to admit my mistake to you. I treat you to dinner another day. How about just writing off all the old things?"

Cheng Yan didn't answer, turned and left.

Back then, he had a crush on Ouyang Zhiyi, and then he was provoked by those ambiguous actions, and soon sank into it. He always felt that Ouyang was also interesting to him, maybe it was just because they were of the same sex.

Then one day Ouyang asked him to go drinking with him, and there was a producer with him.

Fortunately, he has always been a good drinker. When Ouyang proposed to open a room, he was still sober: "You, and me?"

He was so pleasantly surprised. But that surprise quickly turned into a devastating blow. Ouyang dragged him aside and explained the reason very tactfully.

No matter how tactful it was, it still made Cheng Yan feel sick.

A certain producer has his eyes on Ouyang, but Ouyang is a straight man and doesn't want to accompany men. Since Cheng Yan likes him so much, and also happens to like men, he hopes that Cheng Yan will accompany the producer.

"It won't offend him, and I don't have to suffer... You need to know more people at this stage, and it won't hurt."

After a moment of sluggishness, he shook off Ouyang's hand and ran away, jumped into a taxi and fled. As for how Ouyang and the producer solved the problem, whether they called another unknown little actor, he didn't want to care.

Many years later, Cheng Yan still remembered the feeling of ants crawling all over his back.
