Chapter 200

Three days later, accompanied by Yueyue and Yang Yang, Yi Tiantian boarded the plane and departed for the new film crew.

The entire crew took a day off just to give Yi Tiantian an enthusiastic welcome.

The chief director of the crew was a relatively young woman. Although she was only in her early twenties, she had a profound understanding of the directorial industry. So, upon learning Yi Tiantian’s exact arrival time, she decisively chose to have the entire crew work overtime to roll out the red carpet for his arrival.

After all, popularity is everything!

Yi Tiantian, a legendary figure in the industry, deserved a proper welcome!

So, when Yi Tiantian arrived at the mountain resort entrance accompanied by his two assistants, they were blown away by the scene, which felt like a wedding celebration.

Yueyue stood on Yi Tiantian's right side with a small backpack, while Yang Yang stood on his left with two suitcases. In the middle was Yi Tiantian himself, gaping in astonishment.

As the three of them appeared, all the crew members were on high alert, gripping their flower tubes tightly, ready to release them into the sky the moment Yi Tiantian set foot on the red carpet.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the colorful ribbons fell on their heads, everyone cheered together.

"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!"

"Welcome, Mr. Yi, to our crew!!"

"Ahhhh, it's really the leader Tiantian, now I can make a wish in the future!!"

The spectacle attracted the attention of many tourists at the resort. Those who didn’t know better might have thought this was a film festival red carpet walk.

A sea of people surrounded Yi Tiantian and his two assistants, forming a surging wave that gave them another strong visual impact.

They all knew Yi's star was rising fast, and his fan base online was growing rapidly, but it still didn’t feel real.

But after seeing it firsthand, the two assistants realized that Yi's popularity had surged far beyond that of typical stars—his success was in a league of its own.

But Yi Tiantian was even more surprised because he hadn’t expected such a grand welcome upon joining the crew.

And it was a bit... too enthusiastic.

"Yi Tiantian, you're really famous now... I can't remember the rest," he muttered.

He looked around and couldn’t help but mutter the famous line from a viral meme: "There are so many people."

At that moment, the people in the front row suddenly realized something was off. Even though Yi Tiantian hadn’t spoken, they had heard his voice.

Was it an illusion?

Everyone thought it was due to the crowd’s congestion that they had mysteriously heard the voice.

Director Xiao He, unfazed, quickly led the two main actors forward, positioning them at the center of the crowd.

Especially Gang Fengxing, who stood tall in an open shirt that hinted at his eight-pack abs, flashed a hearty smile with white teeth, and waved warmly at Yi Tiantian.

Yi Tiantian also waved back happily.

"Mr. Yi, it's finally meeting you. Thank you for joining our crew," said Director Xiao He, a girl wearing glasses with medium height, a bun, and light makeup. As soon as she saw Yi Tiantian, she quickly came forward, shaking his hand in greeting.

"Thank you, I'm very happy to be a part of this."

Yi Tiantian was somewhat frightened by this "overly enthusiastic" welcome, but he still tried to remain calm and smiled as he shook hands with Director Xiao He.

Gang Fengxing directly took Yi Tiantian's hand and gave him a big bear hug.

"Ah, long time no see, Tiantian Ge! Did you miss me while I was away?!"

Yi Tiantian was trapped in Gang Fengxing's bear hug, finding it hard to breathe because his muscles were so huge, especially his bulging chest muscles.

"I can't breathe..."

He squeezed out this thought in his mind, and Yi Tiantian started coughing uncontrollably.

Standing next to Gang Fengxing and Yi Tiantian, Director Xiao He and the female lead, as well as the staff behind them, still hadn't realized that it wasn't Yi Tiantian who had spoken just now, but his inner monologue.

Although Gang Fengxing knew it was Tiantian Ge's inner thoughts, he was reluctant to let go of his arms.

The hug lasted so long that even Yueyue and Yang Yang wanted to stop them.

Meanwhile, Yueyue, remembering one of her goals for joining the cast, secretly glanced at Yang Yang beside her.

If Yang Yang really had feelings beyond friendship for Yi Ge, he should be showing signs of jealousy right now!

But unfortunately, Yueyue found that Yang Yang's expression was completely normal, just a polite smile.

So she could only secretly shift her gaze and refocus her attention on Gang Fengxing in front of her.

Finally, worried that Tiantian Ge might suffocate from the chest muscles, Gang Fengxing reluctantly let go, his face filled with regret.

Yi Tiantian's face was flushed red from holding his breath, but he had already grown accustomed to Gang Fengxing's enthusiasm, so he could only laugh helplessly and then turned to look at the female lead beside him.

The actress playing the female lead, a seventy-year-old woman, was a fifty-something-year-old actress. She had a wealth of shooting experience and a gentle, pleasant appearance, making her very pleasing to the eye.

The actress's name was Zhou Mi, and she had a smile on her lips, also looking at Yi Tiantian.

Their eyes met, and Yi Tiantian took the initiative to reach out and shake her hand.

"You are Zhou Mi, right? I'm Yi Tiantian!"

"Hello, I've heard your name a long time ago."

Zhou Mi, as her name suggested, had her eyes crinkled into a warm smile, very gentle and moving, much like a typical beautiful woman from the Jiangnan region.

But just at that moment, Yi Tiantian's inner monologue suddenly came out.

"Zhou Mi sister is really the perfect fit to play the female lead in this age-gap romance!"

"Because in real life, she's a big fan of younger guys, surrounded by young, energetic college guys!"

Zhou Mi, who generally disliked discussing her personal romantic affairs in public, instantly froze in place, her hand that was about to reach out also stiffened by her side.

Who could be so bold as to say these things directly in front of her?!

Zhou Mi frowned and scanned the room, but in everyone's eyes, she saw confusion and an eagerness to hear the latest drama, yet no one seemed guilty.

And the voice she just heard was very familiar to her, as if she had heard it somewhere before...

Almost immediately, Zhou Mi realized what was happening.

But it sounded like Yi Tiantian was speaking—right in front of her!

He hadn’t spoken at all just now, so how could a voice come out?!

It wasn’t just Zhou Mi who was puzzled; Director Xiao He and the staff behind her were all extremely surprised, but their curiosity about the situation temporarily overshadowed their confusion.

“But Zhou Mi really has the charm for it, even though she’s in her fifties, her looks and figure rival those of women half her age.”

“And let’s not forget, she’s incredibly wealthy—who wouldn’t love that?!”

“I bet a lot of college girls would kill to get on her good side!”

Yi Tiantian’s thoughts rang out again, and now Zhou Mi was completely certain that the voice was coming from the young man in front of her.

These words made her smile even more. A gentle smile appeared on Zhou Mi’s fair face as she said to Yi Tiantian, “Welcome to the crew, I’ll have the chance to treat you to some herbal tea that I’ve made myself.”

Yi Tiantian’s eyes sparkled as he nodded in gratitude.

“Zhou Mi sister is truly beautiful and kind-hearted! She’s taking such good care of me!”

Zhou Mi’s smile widened even more, and now it was the turn of the people behind her to be puzzled.

Everyone in the entertainment world has heard the buzz about Yi Tiantian. Every artist and staff member who has worked with him sings his praises, and most importantly, he’s like a golden touch, bringing substantial wealth to wherever he goes.

Many who haven’t experienced it firsthand have tried to figure out the reason behind this, but they could never grasp the key point. Everyone in the entertainment industry who has worked with Yi Tiantian is in complete agreement on this matter, and they all say, “Once you’ve worked with him, you’ll understand.”

So many people think that Yi Tiantian simply has a powerful financial backer, one strong enough to make every TV series, movie, advertisement, and variety show he’s in a huge success.

At first, Director Xiao He and the crew staff also believed so, but today they realized just how narrow-minded they had been.

Yi Tiantian didn’t need to rely on a wealthy backer at all, because he had an even bigger ace up his sleeve!

As everyone was both surprised and delighted, Gang Fengxing proudly raised his eyebrows. His back was straight, and his expression seemed to say, “This is mine, impressive, isn’t it,” like a big dog showing off its owner—no, a big dog strutting around with its tail wagging.

This made everyone in the crew even happier because it meant that their *Forget the Age of Love* was destined for great success, and their salaries, profits, and wages would skyrocket at an explosive rate!

This wasn’t just getting a big celebrity; it was like welcoming the god of wealth himself!

The whole crew was over the moon, and some even wished they had hired a lion dance troupe to celebrate.

With everyone in tow, Yi Tiantian returned to the hotel and put away his luggage. Many even wanted to stay in Yi Tiantian’s room, hoping to get a lucky break, but Director Xiao He chased them all away.

After all, you don’t want to disturb the god of wealth’s beauty sleep!

Only after a good rest could he shower everyone with more fortune!

Gang Fengxing clung to the doorframe like a kid refusing to leave the playground. It was only with the combined effort of Director Xiao He and Sister Zhou Mi that they dragged him away.

“You still have scenes to film today, let Yi Tiantian rest for a bit!”

With a dramatic flourish, Gang Fengxing left the hotel in tears.

Yi Tiantian: …

Finally, after sending off the overly excited crew, Yi Tiantian collapsed onto the bed.

Thankfully, he didn’t have any scenes today, so he planned to rest for a bit before visiting the teahouse run by the real-life couple behind *Forget the Age of Love*.

Yueyue and Yang Yang agreed, eager to see what a real-life older-younger couple looked like.
