Chapter 90

Chapter 90

It's a bit of a shame that Chu Hengyi only has one costume in the movie "The Mandarin Duck Buckle." However, it must be said that this costume really suits him. Not only is Ye Mingzhao captivated by it, but even the other actors who have been with Chu Hengyi for two months didn't expect his ancient costume to be so stunning.

So that night, after finishing filming, Chu Hengyi didn't remove his makeup or change his clothes. At Ye Mingzhao's suggestion, Chu Hengyi maintained his cold killer look and returned to the hotel room. They spent the entire night in the room, and the conclusion they reached was that acting helps to warm up their relationship.

"Do you two really need to warm up?" Ye Mingxi sneered upon hearing this conclusion: "You two are like dry wood and fire, you could just ignite directly!"

Chu Hengyi casually tugged at his collar, intentionally or unintentionally revealing marks on his neck: "You don't understand."

Chu Hengyi patted Ye Mingxi's shoulder and said earnestly: "How could a single guy like you understand the sweet feelings of a couple in love?"

Single dog Ye Mingxi: "..."

Ye Mingxi, feeling provoked, couldn't hold back: "You two are so reckless, have you thought about how to convince our parents and eldest brother?"

"I'll convince them to be open-minded." Chu Hengyi placed a peeled tea egg into Ye Mingzhao's bowl and said gently and virtuously: "Family harmony brings prosperity; understanding is key."

Ye Mingxi listened to his younger brother's weak and insincere slogans and couldn't help but shake his head. He had asked Chu Hengyi in vain.

Ye Mingzhao ate the tea egg Chu Hengyi had peeled for him, savoring each bite, then drank half a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge before smiling and saying: "Second brother, don't worry, I have a way to make our family accept us."

Ye Mingxi asked curiously: "What are you planning to do?"

Ye Mingzhao smiled mysteriously: "Heaven's secrets are not to be revealed."

Ye Mingxi looked at Ye Mingzhao, who was deliberately being secretive, and although he was extremely curious, he could only hold back. Because he knew that if Ye Mingzhao didn't want to say something, no one could get it out of him.

In the following weeks, the filming proceeded step by step. Many crews split into groups to save time during filming, but "The Mandarin Duck Buckle" did not do this.

To ensure the quality of the filming, all shots of the film were passed one by one by the director sitting in front of the monitor.

Sometimes, the entire crew had to wait for days to shoot a sunset scene. Sometimes a scene had to be NGed more than ten times, not because of the actors' performance, but because the entire crew wanted to "keep one more take."

The budget was being spent rapidly, but the entire crew was not anxious. Under Ye Mingzhao's guidance, everyone maintained a state of striving for excellence, striving to make every shot their best performance.

Everyone knew that the "The Mandarin Duck Buckle" crew had plenty of money. They had spent two months in advance training to make a classic. This attitude subtly influenced the rest of the crew, so that everyone maintained a very subtle pilgrimage attitude during the filming, seriously interpreting their roles.

After all, in the increasingly fast-paced film and television industry, such crews that do not care about cost and only pursue the work itself are becoming fewer and fewer. The actors who got to be part of "The Mandarin Duck Buckle," whether they wanted to take this opportunity to please Ye Mingzhao or were attracted by the crew and the creative team, simply wanted to feel the atmosphere of serious acting, and everyone sincerely wanted to make this film well.

However, Ye Mingxi thought that compared to the noble sentiments of other actors, Ye Mingzhao and Chu Hengyi's thoughts were simpler—these two were purely here to fall in love on the company's dime.

"You two really know how to play." Ye Mingxi, who kept an eye on the two every night, shook his head and even began to wonder if he was getting old. He didn't have so many moves when he was in love.

Not to mention Ye Mingxi, even Chu Hengyi felt a dreamlike trance. At least in his previous life, Chu Hengyi never thought that one day he would dress up in ancient costumes, stand in front of the camera to fight and kill, and fall in love through role-playing, acting in a movie he had watched countless times.

This gave him an inexplicable thrill of secretly communicating in front of everyone. Not only thrilling, but also a feeling of adrenaline being stimulated that is indescribable.

Chu Hengyi has always been a very introverted person, and he is not very good at expressing himself through words or actions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up being betrayed and desperate in his previous life.

But now, in front of the camera and so many crew members, he and Ye Mingzhao, who played the male lead, called each other brothers, sharing life and death, but outside the camera, no one knew that the two of them were sweetly and passionately in love.

The sword in his hand took lives one after another in front of the camera, he was a cold-blooded killer. But after work, the tip of this three-foot sword, which had harvested countless lives in front of the camera, kept wandering on his body.

The tip of the sword was cold, even though it was a blunt weapon, it was still sharp and hard. The ancient and sharp tip of the sword pressed against his bronze skin, leaving a trail of coldness wherever it went. But under the cold touch, what was ignited was a cluster of flames.

And at the other end of the sword, a slender, fair, and well-defined hand held the hilt. The crystal chandelier in the hotel room cast a warm yellow light, and this hand, under the warm light, was so white that it made people dizzy.

Chu Hengyi felt that his whole body was also dizzy, his mind was blank, his body was burning hot, just like countless times when he had a high fever, he couldn't think of anything.

All he could see was the person holding the sword.

A month later, Chu Hengyi had finished filming all his scenes. But he didn’t feel like leaving the set. Ye Mingxi, who also had just one scene, had already taken off without a second thought. He couldn’t stand how lovey-dovey these two were.

Ye Mingxi felt that if he kept watching, he’d go from being a bachelor to a lonely dog.

Though he didn’t know what they did in private, he couldn’t ignore how openly they flirted in front of him!

Seeing this made Ye Mingxi jealous, so he decided to turn a blind eye and just walked off!
