Yi Wan: "Chi Jixia is wearing the dragon robe."
Bo Jiang: “…”
Yi Wan: "Chi Jixia went over there."
Bo Jiang: “…”
Yi Wan: "Let me see, Chi Jixia is performing his first scene today. He ascended the throne as a young man, relying on the remaining national strength, perfunctorily dealing with ministers, indulging in cultivation, and claiming to be a perfect young man..."
Bo Jiang: “…”
Yi Wan put down the phone in his hand and said, "Don't you want to go over and take a look?"
"I... go over and take a look?" Bo Jiang said.
He knew his fingers were trembling a little.
The crew of "Inside and Outside the Mountains and Rivers" is indeed a very sophisticated crew. The scenery is exactly the same as in history. He has been silent since he came here.
"You'll have to go and see it sooner or later." Yi Wan said, "In a week, you'll have to perform it yourself."
"Why do you have to let me go?" Bo Jiang looked at Yi Wan and said lightly.
Yi Wan completely ignored the displeasure in Bo Jiang's tone. He said, "Well... or do you want to do a lot of NGs in the scene a week later to prolong your suffering, no, the filming time?"
Bo Jiang: …
Yi Wan held the phone and continued talking. It seemed as if he didn't think these words were enough to convince Bo Jiang...
But Bo Jiang pulled his wrist and stood up.
Bo Jiang lowered her eyes to look at him. His phoenix eyes were long and upward, and when he looked at Yi Wan like this, there was a different emotion hidden in his pupils.
Although he was melancholy, he was extremely oppressive. If someone saw Bo Jiang's eyes now, they would indeed believe that he was once a prince of a country.
Yi Wan was pulled by his wrist and looked up at him.
"Okay." Bo Jiang said, "Let's go together."
Bo Jiang pulled Yi Wan's wrist and walked forward, very forcefully. Yi Wan followed behind him, blinking and stumbling a little. A staff member passing by saw them and said, "Bo Jiang and Yi Wan have a good relationship."
Dean Liang, who had just finished a phone call on the other side, frowned.
Dean Liang was still very busy even though he accompanied his father to the ancient city of Anyang. This time he called to scold the Youth League Committee teacher of the college because the effect of this year's recruitment promotion video was not ideal.
Saying "the effect is not ideal" is a bit too much. X University is one of the best universities in China and the goal of hundreds of millions of students for the college entrance examination. Even if you film a pile of shit and say "as long as you get into X University, you can shit in X University's building", it will still get a lot of views.
And to be honest, how can one or two promotional videos influence university admissions? When it comes down to it, students choose a school based on its teaching strength, international reputation, and employment rate. At most, campus culture is also a factor.
But this is of great significance to Dean Liang. The online spread of the recruitment video cannot affect the enrollment of X University, but it can affect Dean Liang's political achievements. Dean Liang is not good at academics, so for many years, he has claimed to be the leader of X University who "can get along with the younger generation best in propaganda", and has a vague intention to shape himself into an expert in this field and use this to get promoted. For example, he operates the official WeChat account of the college, the college's B station account, and the college's Douyin account. Every year on Labor Day and Youth Day, he squeezes students to stay up all night, work for nothing, edit and upload live videos to portal websites, and engages in face projects such as "poverty alleviation". Recently, he also wanted to let the college student union settle in Xiaohongshu, and it would be best if it could have hundreds of thousands of fans within a month. This time, even the president of the student union told him that he couldn't do it.
But Dean Liang thought it was impossible. It must be that the student union members were not serious.
The same is true for this year's recruitment video. The student union submitted the first version of the plan at the beginning. It was very lively and lively, and the overall effect was very good. Then he rejected it on the grounds of "disrespect". Later, the student union submitted the first version and the third version... They were also rejected many times for "not thanking the school leaders", "making fun of the ancients", and "boring". In the end, the video copy was revised dozens of times, and it was so different from the first version that it was unrecognizable. The student union itself was not satisfied. But Dean Liang said that the DDL was coming. They must publish it before the History Department of the neighboring Y University to be the first.
Y University and X University are both among the most famous universities in China, and they have always been "deadly enemies". So the student union worked hard all night and finished the video. After the video was shot, Dean Liang was not satisfied again, and asked for redoing, and even thought that the girl in the video was not pretty enough, and it would be better to find a pure girl with a national wife's face to shoot the promotional video so that it would be popular. The girl ran away in anger, and the student union went to comfort her... In short, after a lot of bumps and bruises, it was released before Y University.
But the effect of the promotional video is really not very good. It has only been played for a few thousand times on station B. What's worse is that the promotional video of the History Department of Y University came out, which "parodied" the ancients, did not thank the school leaders, and the boys and girls were only good-looking, but it still went viral.
It was a huge hit. It had over a million views, and one of its jokes even became a hot search.
Dean Liang gritted his teeth at this. Damn it, this will affect my career.
So he asked the student union to reshoot a version and release it. As a result, the Youth League teacher in charge of the college student union called this time. She came on behalf of the students of the student union and tactfully said that since it had already been released once, there was no point in shooting it again, and the National Day had already passed. New Year's Eve is coming soon. Dean, didn't you say that our college must have something to do on Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day? The donkeys in the production team didn't dare to torment the students of the student union like this, and the drama club that came to help with the filming last time also made a fuss, saying that we agreed to shoot for an afternoon, but in the end we asked them to rework for a whole week, and we didn't pay them or give them money, and the drama club members all failed the midterm exams...
Dean Liang said that what can college students do? The seniors have to defend their papers, so they let the freshmen come in to do the work. They just don't pay attention, right
Moreover, the video playback volume was so high in previous years, why did it drop so much this time
This time, the Youth League Committee teacher backed off, and after a long while he uttered, "Dean, we had Bo Jiang before."
Before, Bo Jiang could get millions of views just by standing there with his face. His fans are very loyal.
The Youth League Committee teacher added, "And Bo Jiang is rare. He is not the kind of nominal student who just puts his name here and buys a trending search every time he attends a class. He is really studying, and his GPA is really high. He can get a national scholarship without relying on Su Tuo to get a high comprehensive evaluation score. It was legitimate to use him for publicity before... It's a pity that he has dropped out of school."
What a pity. Before Bo Jiang was here, the students in the student union were relaxed.
Dean Liang finally gave the Youth League Committee teachers the highest instructions to reshoot. After hanging up the phone, he saw Bo Jiang pulling Yi Wan away not far away, and lowered his head to look at his phone again.
What if Bo Jiang could help us
He asked the staff: "Bo Jiang is very popular now, right? How many fans does he have?"
The staff member was a little stunned, because Dean Liang asked so matter-of-factly, as if she was just an errand boy. But she was good-tempered and still looked at her phone and said, "It's more than 20 million now."
More than 20 million!
More than 20 million!
It’s different after debuting. A year ago, Bo Jiang was still a “little transparent” with “only” more than one million fans, but now the number has increased countless times. If Bo Jiang is willing to cooperate with them to become a “positive energy student idol”, it will save a lot of trouble. Strictly speaking, Dean Liang has “dealt” with Bo Jiang a lot before—although most of the orders were given indirectly through the Youth League Committee teachers. To some extent, Bo Jiang should thank him for his “cultivation”. Bo Jiang is not only an excellent actor, but also has good grades. If he makes some moves, shouldn’t the credit be attributed to him? In the end, this person dropped out of school as he said.
He is so pretentious that he doesn't even know who he is. But many celebrities these days don't need academic qualifications.
But Dean Liang has some connections with the Bo family. It was not necessary before, but now it is needed, so he remembered it. Dean Liang decided to talk to Bo Jiang first and let him participate in the recording of the supplementary video.
As for how Bo Jiang was filming the reshoot video in Anyang... Dean Liang was too lazy to care. Let the student union figure out a solution for this matter.
He followed the two to the shooting site. Bo Jiang pulled Yi Wan's wrist and found a high place for them to stand on. At this moment, Chi Jixia was ascending the throne in the hall.
But to their surprise, there was someone else next to them.
Liang Huishi.
Liang Huishi looked at the two of them. Yi Wan knew that Bo Jiang probably wouldn't say anything, so he asked Liang Huishi, "Are you here to see Chi Jixia ascend the throne, too?"
Liang Huishi froze for a moment: "Come and see how he's acting, whether he's still acting badly."
People outside say that Chi Jixia and Liang Huishi don't get along. Chi Jixia herself thinks so. But would ordinary people have this attitude towards their enemies who ruined the movie they value most
Yi Wan blinked and said, "Oh... I heard that Ji Xia messed up your movie before?"
Directly cut off Liang Huishi's ladder to the throne.
Liang Huishi sneered: "Yes."
Yi Wan said: "Ji Xia said the same thing. She also said that you particularly hate him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Huishi's face turned completely black. After a long while, he muttered, "What a fucking heartless person."
Yi Wan: "Maybe Ji Xia was just too conscientious, so he quit the film industry afterwards."
"Quitting the film industry because of guilt? I think he just wants to make money by being a jerk. What crap have he played in the past few years. Those people even said that I was the one who scared him away. What kind of person is this..." Liang Huishi started to complain.
Liang Huishi's feelings are a bit complicated. He hates, resents, cherishes talent, and there are other things that are hard to explain. But as an ordinary person, how could he know the entanglement between Chi Jixia, Chi Qiu and Chi Xu, let alone know that Chi Jixia has a system. So for him, the fact that Chi Jixia inexplicably collapsed mentally, started to play badly and ruined his movie, can only be a mess after all.
Yi Wan then only said one sentence: "Brother Liang, what do you think of his performance this time?"
Liang Huishi was quiet this time.
After a while, he looked at Chi Jixia and said, "The performance was quite good, beyond my imagination."
Yi Wan looked at Bo Jiang again... Bo Jiang was still holding his wrist. The cold beauty whispered, "You acted very well."
"Very similar." He added, "I have never seen my father look like this. But Chi Jixia's performance made me feel that he was like this. In addition to my father's own arrogance, there were also many factions in the court, which led to his world-weariness and inaction."
He added, "Perhaps Father himself doesn't know. When he announced that he was going to indulge in cultivating immortals, he hoped that the ministers below the stage would dissuade him."
This is the difference between an actor's self-cultivation and just immersing himself in the character's emotions.
At that time, Bo Jiang's father's mind could not understand the situation he was in. He was immersed in arrogance, self-abandonment, desire for enjoyment and world-weariness. He did not realize that he had hope and despair. He did not realize that in that era, he was just a hateful and pathetic clown.
Chi Jixia brought out the absurdity and tragedy in him.
Director Ye also stared at Chi Jixia, his eyes fixed on her. So did everyone else.
But only Liang Huishi said a word.
"I think Chi Jixia is a little panicked." He frowned.
Yi Wan and Bo Jiang turned to look at him.
"Logically speaking, Chi Jixia shouldn't be so panicked. He acted very well and understood the role very well, so he should be confident." Liang Huishi said, "What is he worried about? It seems that it's not just his acting skills, but also things outside the play. I can't tell..."
A strange premonition moved him. Yi Wan asked tentatively, "Brother Liang, how could you tell? Neither we nor Director Ye could tell."
Liang Huishi said, "What do you think I have been doing in the past few years since the movie flopped?"
Of course, I kept watching Chi Jixia's acting skills.
He repeatedly thought about the filming process, watched the bad dramas that Chi Jixia later played, and analyzed Chi Jixia's mood and acting structure. In addition to disgust, this almost paranoid behavior also has another subtle emotion:
He really wanted to know how he "destroyed" Chi Jixia.
Why did Chi Jixia perform well in other people's movies, but when it came to his movies, he completely collapsed? And from then on, he could no longer act in a serious drama? What on earth irritated Chi Jixia? Was it because of what he did? What on earth...
Did he destroy a genius
He was the young genius chosen by him personally to play the first leading role in this famine escape movie.
Liang Huishi doesn't like geniuses. He changed his career from directing to becoming a perennially unsuccessful actor. With his average talent, he has never been favored by fate. But he really pays attention to details, whether it is his or others'.
Even Chi Jixia's.
Wang Yuyan's acting skills are...
Therefore, such a supporting character who has never been favored by fate will be trapped in his own inner demons day after day, until he can see the most subtle emotional changes in Chi Jixia.
Sometimes, a person's passion for acting can even surpass the protagonist's golden finger and the script.
Bo Jiang didn't know what Chi Jixia was so flustered about, so he said calmly, "Maybe it's due to lack of confidence."
Yi Wan said: "… maybe."
Chi Jixia didn't use the cheat code this time, did he? Did he fall into the same panic as in the previous episode of "Rao Tianchou"
But I always feel like there's a piece of the puzzle missing...
Chi Jixia's scene was finished. Then came the first scene, the third scene... Considering Iris5's schedule, Director Ye arranged their filming schedule very tightly. Fortunately, the three of them were minor supporting roles, and they could finish their scenes in about ten days after joining the crew.
This is also thanks to the excellent reputation that Chi Jixia had passed through in one go... and the excellent reputation that Yi Wan had also passed through in one go.
The whole process lasted until the afternoon. Chi Jixia had finished work temporarily, as there was one night scene left. Liang Huishi also left the hillside - he went to pack up and wait for the next scene with Chi Jixia.
Yes, there are several scenes between Liang Huishi and Chi Jixia, which tells the story of the exile of the military advisor's family.
The military advisor was over 30 years old when he appeared beside Qu Yun, so Liang Huishi was just right for the role. But he was in his teens when he threw himself beside the emperor's carriage on the way to the altar to cry out for justice. As the saying goes, it is difficult to play old or young, especially young. With a face like Liang Huishi, it would be ridiculous to play a teenager with makeup.
What's more, Chi Jixia is a real teenager, and he is still playing an emperor in his early thirties. "Then let's compare who is better, me or Chi Jixia. It's a bit sad to say that I am a man in my thirties or forties, and I have to compete with a child in acting." Liang Huishi shook his head.
After watching Chi Jixia's play for an entire afternoon, Liang Huishi's attitude towards Chi Jixia was obviously much better than before. Yi Wan watched him leave with high morale and nodded.
When he turned back, he saw Bo Jiang still looking at the set in the distance. The evening scene was filmed in another place, and the people in this set had all left, but he was still watching. Yi Wan asked him, "Should we continue watching?"
"This is what the Zhou Dynasty looked like in the eyes of later generations." Bo Jiang whispered.
Yi Wan: “Yeah.”
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at when I say this." Bo Jiang laughed at himself, "Now in my eyes, it looks like it's about to run out of luck."
Yi Wan said: "Do you think there is something wrong with the shooting?"
For example, when a scene is about to begin, you can show off your historical knowledge, chat with the director or an expert, and gain admiring looks.
Bo Jiang shook her head: "It was filmed very well. Besides, compared to the real history, I also want to see what it looks like in your eyes."
Bo Jiang is now 50% relieved.
His eyes no longer had the arrogance, cynicism, and hurtful gloom and sharpness that Yi Wan had seen in the office for the first time. Instead, they became much calmer and gentler. Bo Jiang looked into the distance, his eyebrows like calligraphy and painting, and the corners of his light-colored mouth were no longer tense.
Perhaps this is Bo Jiang's true character.
A beauty who is cool but gentle, artistic and responsible. She will constantly criticize herself for being too responsible and always try to shoulder the overall situation.
Yi Wan: "Ah..."
Speaking of which, Bo Jiang is still the captain of iris5. Although Brother Liu just randomly appointed one at that time.
But now it seems that Bo Jiang is indeed the most suitable person to be the captain. If he works hard, the atmosphere of the entire iris5 will be very good, right? And a person who is so harsh on himself that he becomes depressed will also be very responsible for the external affairs of the iris group, right
I feel like I can just lie down and let the captain do the work from now on... Looking at it this way, we are getting closer and closer to buying that house.
Even though he was thinking about all sorts of things, Yi Wan's expression remained dull. Bo Jiang suddenly said, "Yi Wan, why are you so happy?"
Yi Wan: …
Would Bo Jiang become so sensitive after she turned 50? Could she even detect such an emotion
Yi Wan said: "Bo Jiang, you have started to communicate with the outside world."
For example, talking to Liang Huishi was something I couldn't even think of in the past.
Bo Jiang said: "...Is there?"
Yi Wan: At this time, just keep a straight face.
"Yi Wan." Bo Jiang said again, "Actually, I am also... looking forward to seeing your interpretation of Bo Mingjiang."
In the setting sun, Bo Jiang lowered his head slightly, and the evening light illuminated half of his face, with soft and beautiful lines.
I always feel that Bo Jiang is a little shy.
Yi Wan: "I will act well."
Bo Jiang smiled. He took Yi Wan's wrist again: "Yeah."
Yi Wan: … Bo Jiang seems to have gone from keeping strangers away to the other extreme of liking to hold people’s hands.
The harmonious atmosphere between the two continued until another person appeared. That person frowned and seemed unhappy: "Bo Jiang, come here."
Yi Wan turned around and recognized the man as Dean Liang from X University.
"… The History Department needs to shoot a promotional video this year. I think you would like to help, right? After all, X University is your alma mater." Dean Liang said, "See when you are free recently. The Youth League Committee will contact you later."
Dean Liang and Liang Huishi both have the same surname, Liang, but their personalities are very different.
Yi Wan said: "President Liang, we have to film in Anyang for a month. Isn't X University in X City? We can't go back."
Dean Liang glanced at Yi Wan, seeming to find his interruption annoying. He said to Bo Jiang, "Don't worry about this. The Youth League Committee will know how to arrange it."
For example, online video shooting, or asking the student union to take the high-speed rail to come here... But why take the high-speed rail? Bo Jiang is now in the crew, aren't the facilities here more practical and professional? There are also professional photographers.
The effect will be better.
Yi Wan spoke again: "President Liang, we are just two minor supporting roles. Besides, the photographers and photographic equipment have their own uses here, so how can we use them privately?"
Dean Liang said: "Your entertainment industry... Tsk."
There was contempt in his voice, as if he was trying to say, what are you talking about morality and private use in the entertainment industry? Aren't they all just messing around
Yi Wan said: "President Liang. It is precisely because fairness is important that we must set an example and not confuse public and private interests. We have many young fans and we need to set a good example..."
Dean Liang didn't wait for him to finish his words and said to Bo Jiang, "You can find a way to solve it yourself, right? Besides, X University is a well-known university. Being able to participate in the publicity will also help you. If your agent knew, he would be very happy."
It was clearly for the purpose of promoting his political achievements, but he ended up using the banner of University of X as if this matter would be of great benefit to Bo Jiang... Yi Wan began to look down at his phone this time.
But Bo Jiang said, "President Liang, I don't think I agreed to film this, right?"
Dean Liang: “Hmm?”
"I am an artist now. If you want any cooperation, you need to talk to my agent. Besides, I don't plan to take this job. I am no longer a student at X University." Bo Jiang said coldly, "And..."
He sighed softly, "Also, don't bother those student union cadres. They are students too, and they will have to prepare to enter society after graduation, with an uncertain future. University is a place to learn knowledge and grow yourself, not a place of fame and fortune where you do private work for someone."
Bo Jiang looks cold, but in fact, he is easily soft-hearted. He couldn't explain clearly whether the 80% factor was because of the pleading eyes of the students who stayed up all night when he cooperated in shooting so many promotional videos.
Dean Liang had never been rejected so bluntly. He was so angry that he was fuming, but he still sneered: "Bo Jiang, don't forget, you are a student of X University! The whole network knows that you are a bully at X University..."
It implies how much benefit you have gained by relying on this identity.
Bo Jiang was speechless for a moment. After all, he was an ancient man raised under the culture of loyalty and filial piety. Even though his reason told him that this was not the case, he felt a little ashamed of his master.
Dean Liang saw his little emotion and his voice became colder and colder: "The outside world doesn't know the reason why you dropped out of school, right? Do you think it's your fault or the fault of X University that this matter got out?"
Yi Wan suddenly spoke.
"Bo Jiang certainly has the right to choose which school he wants to go to. He learned knowledge at x University, and he should thank the serious and responsible professors, the knowledgeable lecturers, and the united and friendly classmates." He said, "He would also thank the founders of x University, the educators who passed on the torch from generation to generation, regarded the inheritance of knowledge as their own responsibility, spread the light of knowledge to all students, and regarded the rise of China as their own responsibility." There are always idealists in every generation.
Dean Liang was about to interrupt. He was a little surprised that Yi Wan could say this. In his eyes, most of these celebrity idols are illiterate. But Yi Wan continued: "Bo Jiang's knowledge does not need a diploma to prove it. He left X University, but he is still Bo Jiang, and he still has the knowledge he has. If he really needs a certificate to recognize him, he can still go to Y University or Z University... But what about you, Dean Liang?"
"After leaving X University and your father's protection, are you still Dean Liang?"
"Can you still take it for granted that you can use the banner of X University to exploit and enslave those students?"
"Do you have power, or do you seize enormous power and use it to satisfy your own selfish desires?"
"Is the x Congress proud of you, President Liang?"
Being ruthlessly exposed, Dean Liang's face turned pale and blue - Yi Wan knew very well that for these self-proclaimed noble "literati", tearing off their fig leaf was more painful than killing them.
Dean Liang was shocked: "You... you think you are..."
"Just like there are uneducated scum in the entertainment industry, there are also some in schools," Yi Wan said, "but there are also idealists who care about the world - such as your father, Professor Liang. Dean Liang, please don't let your father be ashamed again."
Dean Liang was so angry that he couldn't speak. He looked at the two of them gloomily, and after a while he said, "Okay, that's fine. You're quite good at talking."
He sneered and said, "Just wait."
Yi Wan delivered the final blow: "Dean Liang, your father is eating the lunch provided by the crew today. Didn't you bring him a lunch?"
…How did Yi Wan discover this detail
If the previous words were surprising, the last sentence was what made Dean Liang shudder... He clearly remembered that Yi Wan was not present when they talked about boxed lunches that day.
Could it be that Yi Wan also observed this
How did he do it
This person is simply... unfathomable and terrifying!
Yi Wan stood on the hillside until Dean Liang left. He turned to Bo Jiang and said, "What I just said may cause you to be expelled..."
He widened his eyes slightly.
Because Bo Jiang smiled.
This smile seemed to melt the ice and snow, and the spring flowers bloomed. Bo Jiang reached out and held his hand, saying to him, "Then let him leave."
Yi Wan: …
This is changing so fast.
"Like you said, without them, I am still myself." Bo Jiang said calmly, "Let's continue to watch Chi Jixia perform."
In fact, we should have moved on long ago.
The scene in the evening was also easily revealed. The weather was cold today, so the crew discussed with the hotel and decided to have a self-service lamb hotpot in the restaurant. The Science War also joined the dinner. Director Ye called out. Everyone got in the car and happily went back to the hotel.
On the way, Yi Wan saw Chi Jixia looking very worried. A staff member asked him, "Brother Chi, you performed so well today, why do you look unhappy?"
Someone joked: "Is it because your girlfriend doesn't reply to your messages anymore?"
In the past, Chi Jixia would have reacted to such a joke. But today he didn't say a word.
Yi Wan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Arriving at the restaurant, Yi Wan saw another familiar face. Qin Xuexin had already arrived. She was sitting there in a red dress, and next to her was her assistant Qin Nian'er.
It looks like everything is normal.
