When the Stars Tremble

Chapter 6: The sixth star

Unexpectedly, Feng Tao craned her neck and leaned in front of him to study him. "Is it true or false? Are you blushing?"

Jiang Chuyi also looked at him calmly.

Zongye smiled slightly, "Soon."

Feng Tao looked at Jiang Chuyi and said, "Don't mind it. We were just joking. Are you scared?"

She looked calm: "No."

Feng Tao said with regret: "I asked Zong many times before, but he refused to cooperate every time. Finally, he agreed today, and I met a calm girl."

Jiang Chuyi smiled and explained, "It's not that I'm calm, it's that I haven't reacted yet."

Feng Tao let out a long "oh" and said with relish: "Then, will Zong Ye continue to take off his clothes?"

Both of them were stunned.

Feng Tao laughed, "I won't tease you anymore. Come on, let's continue. Everyone should be more efficient so that I can get off work earlier. This business trip is very tiring. I have to catch a flight back home tonight."

This is the terrace on the second floor. Jiang Chuyi is leaning on the railing with nothing behind her.

Feng Tao was directing the prop guys to position the lighting boards.

As there was always a lack of atmosphere between Jiang Chuyi and Fu Cheng, Feng Tao had an idea and temporarily let Zong Ye and Fu Cheng switch places.

Souya was tall, so he had to bend down slightly to support his hands at her sides, somehow forming a posture that completely enveloped her.

The hair dryer was just a few meters away, and the staff squatted on the side, adjusting the wind direction and speed.

Suddenly, someone pressed the highest gear, and the huge fan blades spun rapidly, blowing towards the two of them.

Her hair and skirt were blown all over the place, Jiang Chuyi was dazzled and she used her hands to hold down her skirt in time. Fortunately, she was wearing a long skirt today.

But soon, she paused.

Feng came with his back to Zong Ye, and the two were only half a step apart. From Jiang Chuyi's angle, it was easy for her to see a different scene.

Souya hunched his back slightly, his posture relaxed, and his loose-fitting shirt at the collar was blown open even more.

I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Starting from the rouge mole and descending down, the lines of his collarbone are extremely beautiful, like bamboo joints, with an angular line extending to the shoulders, down to the waist, and then stopping at the tight abdomen... I can almost imagine the warm touch of my fingertips brushing against it.

She held her breath.

I have to admit that there is a reason why Zong Ye is so popular. He seems to be born to please women. There seems to be a kind of magnetic field on him, as if waiting for people to appreciate him carefully. After appreciating him, you will find that you have already been seduced.

The disturbing wind was deliberately showing off. He did nothing, but this unconscious leakage of amorous feelings made people's throats even drier.

But I haven't noticed it yet.

Zong Ye came closer and whispered a reminder in her ear, his breath seemed to caress her neck.

Jiang Chu immediately turned his eyes away and hummed as if he didn't mean to say anything. "What?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly and repeated patiently, "It's time to start filming."

She responded, "Okay."

It might be because they were too close. When Zong Ye changed his position, his hand brushed against her arm and accidentally touched her. Jiang Chuyi immediately felt a little unwell, but she couldn't tell where it was. When the wind blew again, she couldn't get rid of the glimpse she had just seen.

Feng Tao didn't know what was going on yet. She only saw that the atmosphere between them reached a delicate critical point in the camera, with ambiguity and restraint, which was exactly the feeling Feng Tao wanted. She quickly pulled a few close-ups and pressed the shutter.

Half an hour later.

Feng Tao put her hands on her hips and called them over to watch the film together. After a discussion, everyone agreed that the composition, characters and light were perfectly integrated.

Just as they were about to finish their work, Feng Tao suddenly enlarged a photo and said to Jiang Chuyi meaningfully, "Baby, you seem to be blushing?"

Jiang Chuyi: “…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zong glanced at her and curled his lips slightly. Somehow, he was amused by Feng Tao's words.

Jiang Chuyi reluctantly smiled and said, "It might be because of the light."

Ever since IM launched the recruitment for the joint movie with West Storm's fifth anniversary, the marketing accounts have liked to throw smoke bombs every once in a while. In various rumors, almost every young star has been mentioned, causing fans to complain.

The final makeup photo shoot was completed and the film "Catching Stars" officially started. In mid-November, BloodXGentle's official blog released pictures and made an official announcement.

Afterwards, several leading actors and their studios reposted the Weibo post. The long-rumored rumor was finally settled.

The discussion was all over the major active forums for a whole day. Passersby were betting on what kind of bizarre angles the fans of the single and group fans would use to fight each other when the movie was officially released.

You have to know that every time Xibao releases a single or MV, their close-up shots or singing and dancing parts, or even the derivative peripherals released by the album, if there is any mistake, it will trigger a bloody war. At the least, the square will be destroyed, and at the worst, the forum will be destroyed.

This time, the movie is not only about the distribution of shots, but will also involve the CP fans of Fu Cheng and Wang Tan, as well as several actresses outside the group.

You can imagine how lively it will be.

Before the filming officially started, Gao Ning flew to Venice to visit the set.

Jiang Chuyi took her to the place where they had a dinner last time. The two were talking about next year's plans when Gao Ning's cell phone rang and she picked it up.

I don't know what was said on the other end. Gao Ning frowned, pulled out a chair and stood up, "I'm going out to answer a call."

Jiang Chuyi looked at her strangely and said, "Just say it here."

Gao Ning waved his hand and left in a hurry.

The call lasted for half an hour. When Gao Ning came in again, his eyes were filled with dark anger.

Jiang Chuyi vaguely felt that something was wrong and was about to ask when Gao Ning slammed his phone on the table, "Damn, those beasts!"

"What's wrong?"

"Those professional blacks are so shameless!"

After listening for a while, Jiang Chuyi finally understood what happened.

Originally, she was just an ordinary supporting role. Even after the official announcement of the movie, no one paid attention to her. Jiang Chuyi has not been active in the public eye for so long that many people have forgotten her.

But that evening, on a forum in a certain district, a poster dug up an old post.

This post delves deep into the relationship between her and Qin Tong.

Jiang Chuyi made her debut by accident, and since then, most of the movies she starred in were directed by Qin Tong. Until she was 16 years old, she accompanied Qin Tong to a drinking party with an old friend.

After dinner, Jiang Chuyi helped Qin Tong get into the car and was photographed by a paparazzi squatting nearby.

Because the light was dim and the angle was tricky, an ambiguous photo was created and was used by many media to smear the photo.

Qin Tong fell ill in the hospital due to anger. At the same time, Jiang Chuyi's reputation plummeted.

The marketing account took advantage of the popularity of the official announcement of the movie and quickly moved the post to Weibo.

Unable to finish the meal, Gao Ning and Jiang Chuyi returned to the hotel.

When I was in the lobby, I happened to run into a few people from the same crew. When they saw Jiang Chuyi, they all fell silent at the same time.

When they passed by, Xin He took the initiative to say hello: "Just came back from dinner?"

Jiang Chuyi stopped and smiled back: "Yes."

After looking at her for a few seconds, Xin He said, "Don't take things online to heart. It will all be over in a few days."

Jiang Chuyi hummed.

At this moment, someone nearby said, "By the way, how is Director Qin doing recently?"

The others looked at each other.

Gao Ning was about to explode, but Jiang Chuyi held her back and nodded at them, "It's fine."

Back in the room, Gao Ning couldn't help but curse, "She's just bringing up all the issues. She's such a slut."

Seeing that Jiang Chuyi remained silent, Gao Ning breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her, "Forget it, don't go on Weibo for the next two days. I have already contacted the legal department and will send a lawyer's letter immediately to ask them to delete the post. Spreading pornographic rumors about minors is really fucking shameless."

Jiang Chuyi was very calm, "I know, you don't have to worry."

These so-called "black materials" are actually insignificant to Jiang Chuyi, and she really doesn't feel bored. Just like a war that has ended, she spent a long time to endure the most painful time. When people later mentioned this war, trying to restore the humiliation and smoke of that time and open the scars again, it actually couldn't give her any impact at all.

They looked upon her as a joke.

Isn't she the same

Jiang Chuyi settled Gao Ning down and didn't stay any longer. The crew had a meeting to read the script tomorrow, so she went back to her room to take a shower and also take some time to read the script again.

As it approached midnight, WeChat was still ringing, with many friends sending messages of condolences. Regardless of whether these people were kind or just joining in the fun, she was too lazy to reply or read them.

Jiang Chuyi took the phone, set it to silent mode, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Jiang Chuyi did not sleep well at night and had several intermittent dreams.

She was awakened in the middle of the night by pain and broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that her period had come early. She turned on the desk lamp, went into the bathroom, called room service, and changed the soiled sheets.

After several efforts, it was already past six in the morning.

Jiang Chuyi sat on the bed and checked her phone. Er Er had sent her a WeChat message last night, asking if she could come earlier tomorrow to discuss the script.

Jiang Chuyi memorized her lines for a while, packed the character biography and script into her bag, and went to the next room to find Xiao Zhong.

The reading session started at nine o'clock. Jiang Chuyi couldn't eat breakfast, so Xiao Zhong helped her directly to the meeting room.

Er Er hadn't come yet when they arrived. Xiao Zhong charged the hot water bottle and hugged Jiang Chuyi, "Cover her up."

Fearing that she would be cold, Xiao Zhong carefully covered her with a tassel blanket and said, "If you really feel uncomfortable, just lie down for a while. I'll call you when the screenwriter comes, okay?"

Jiang Chuyi wrapped herself in a blanket and responded vaguely.

After a rustling sound, Xiao Zhong took a cup of hot water and put it on the table, hesitating to say: "By the way, sister, I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"Take a look." Xiao Zhong hesitated and put the phone in front of her. "It was too late yesterday, so I didn't talk to you."

Jiang Chuyi lowered her eyes and saw a news release -

"Xin He personally came out to like the post. Was it a slip of the hand or was it intentional?"

She scrolled down and came across a screenshot of Xin He liking a negative article about her.

"This happened last night. It was too late, so I didn't tell you. But when I woke up this morning, it was trending again. I don't think it's going to stop for a while."

Looking at her expression, Xiao Zhong carefully asked, "Xin He has already posted on Weibo, saying that she slipped her hand or something. Should we respond?"

"What's there to respond to?"

Jiang Chuyi handed the phone to Xiao Zhong and said, "Don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with us."

"But… "

"in spite of."

Jiang Chuyi was too lazy to say anything more. He put his arms on the edge of the table and lay down again.

She occasionally had a bit of a temper, which would come out when she was not feeling well. Seeing her like this, Xiao Zhong whispered worriedly, "Do you want me to go to your room and get you some painkillers?"

Jiang Chuyi buried her head in her arms, not having the strength to answer, and shook her head slightly.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chuyi felt a pain in her lower abdomen while half asleep and half awake. She was not in good spirits and asked listlessly, "Xiao Zhong, what time is it? Please buy me a cup of coffee."

No one answered for a long while. She was pressed down by the tassel blanket, too lazy to change her position, and called out weakly, "Xiao Zhong, go buy me a cup of coffee."

"coffee?"

Jiang Chuyi responded tiredly.

After a few seconds, she felt something was wrong, opened her eyes and turned to look.

Ji Kai and Wang Tan stared at her strangely.

—Xiao…Zong

The conference room, which only had a few people in it, was eerily quiet.

The person being ordered around looked normal. He raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and asked, "It's eight o'clock. Do you want something hot?"

Jiang Chuyi was stunned by the question. Her mind was still frozen. She repeated his words in a daze, "Hot? Hot."

Zong Ye followed suit and said slowly, "Then please wait a moment."

Wang Tan chuckled and finally couldn't help laughing.

After being stunned for a while, Jiang Chuyi suddenly regained consciousness and asked, "Um, where is my assistant?"

"Your assistant?" Ji Kai leaned back in his chair and tilted his head to indicate with a half-smile, "I went to buy you some coffee."

Jiang Chuyi: “…”
