As summer drew to a close, the rough cut of the film "Skin" was released. The director booked a small screening room and invited the lead actors along with several industry insiders for an advance viewing. As the male lead, Jiang Ruo had to attend. "The Actor's Flower Road," which had been filmed last month, was almost akin to a seclusion. Once Jiang Ruo emerged from the studio, he felt like a bird set free in nature, fluttering between various social gatherings and dinners. Tang Jiani invited him…- 178.8 K • Completed
- That voice seemed to reach out with an invisible hand, pulling Jiang Ruo back to this time last year — when Xi Yufeng had rushed over at night, they hugged, kissed, caressed each other, went out for barbecues, watched movies, and did everything lovers would do. Even though they weren't officially lovers. At the same time, that single call confirmed that his arrival here today was not an accident, but rather a well-planned operation from the start. And he, knowing it might be a trap, still came here…

- Jiang Ruo was momentarily dazed again. Being in an atmosphere akin to an isolated island and hearing such ambiguous words, it was hard not to indulge in some unrealistic associations. After a moment of silence, Jiang Ruo asked, "Are you waiting for me because of something?" He had reverted to their initial aloofness. However, his outburst and slip of the tongue were seen through by Xi Yufeng. In this situation, breaking the superficial politeness was conducive to advancing the process and…

- Before the official release of "Cliff," there were several screenings arranged in various cities, primarily aimed at media and critics, with no need for the actors to attend. To make time for the promotional tour the following month, Jiang Ruo pushed himself hard during the recording of "The Actor's Flower Road." The third round's theme was the smoke and fire of war; Jiang Ruo played a soldier. To fit the role, he increased his physical training, but time was short. He didn't gain much muscle, but he…

- At the recording site for the second round of "The Actor's Flower Road," Jiang Ruo had chosen the theme of his performance as "Silent Love." The script was written by a specially invited screenwriter from the production team, depicting the reactions of a congenitally deaf and mute young man when faced with his loved one — the restrained yet undeniable affection lurking in the details. This was a performance without dialogue, and since Jiang Ruo had rehearsed it countless times before taking the…

- The Meng family's ancestral home was located in the eastern part of the city, nestled against a mountain and beside water, making it a precious piece of land with a reputation for auspiciousness, known for the purple aura coming from the east. When Xi Yufeng arrived, no one was in the living room. After a while, Mother Meng descended from upstairs and instructed the housekeeper to brew tea. They sat down and chatted for a bit. When Xi Yufeng took out the prenuptial agreement, Mother Meng's…

- Jiang Ruo had heard about it and didn't take it to heart. He merely recalled that Xi Yufeng had never mentioned his father before. It was Aunt Fang who had mentioned it once or twice, saying that the master knew that Xi Wangchen was useless, yet he still tried his best to lead him onto the right path. This showed that the master was biased. He didn't value Xi Yufeng despite how outstanding he was, but held Xi Wangchen, a good-for-nothing, in the palm of his hand because Xi Yufeng didn't have a mother to…

- A wedding reception typically involves a set routine — the exchange of rings between the bride and groom, speeches from both sets of parents, and the playing of a sentimental video clip. Director Liu had prepared a short film centered around Zhou Xinyao, pieced together from various scenes. There were clips of her walking down the red carpet, eating ice cream, squatting outside a church feeding pigeons, dozing on a folding chair on set, and even footage of her covering her face in tears when she was…

- The movie "Skin" officially started production on the day of the Lantern Festival. The director led the cast and crew in setting up an altar at the filming location, burning incense to pray for a smooth shoot and hoping for success in both popularity and critical acclaim. The outdoor scenes were set in Sea City, featuring beaches, river views, and small western-style houses, perfectly matching the story's backdrop of opulence hidden under the smoke and fire of a tumultuous era. The director was…

- A brief exchange on WeChat. Jiang Ruo asked about the item left behind, and Xi Yufeng mentioned it was a script. It reminded Jiang Ruo that he had printed out extra copies of the "Skin" script before, with one placed under the coffee table, convenient for reading while lounging on the sofa. He had forgotten about it when moving out, so Jiang Ruo hesitantly asked, "Would it be too much trouble for you to mail it to me?" A few minutes later, Xi Yufeng replied, "It's not very convenient." It made…
