Ying Ming had already made it clear that he did not want to continue cooperating with the publicity stunt, but the matter did not end there. The thoughts of the investors, the director, and the producer were obviously at odds with his, and Liu Li's attitude made Ying Ming's opinion seem even more insignificant in the whole situation. Many people in the crew understood what was really going on. Some watched for the fun of it, while others spread gossip. As with anything, some people were…- 283.2 K • Completed
- Unsurprisingly, Ying Ming and Liu Li’s newly added scenes together made the news.There were various speculations. Some said it was Liu Li’s request, while others claimed it was Ying Ming’s. No one could verify the truth, and when the parties involved were asked, they all uniformly stated it was the director’s arrangement. Privately, though, Liu Li had become noticeably warmer toward Ying Ming. Since Ying Ming was friends with Shi Yi, and Liu Li was Shi Yi’s girlfriend, it wasn’t unusual…

- In this industry, as long as there’s a rumor, it’s like finding the source of a draft. It doesn’t take long for a light breeze to turn into a strong gust, then into a full-blown hurricane. By the time it becomes common knowledge, the person at the eye of the storm is often still oblivious. Ying Ming’s fleeting thought from a few days ago had somehow made it to the cover of a gossip magazine in just three days. But instead of Shi Yi, the headline scandal involved someone else. Wang…

- "How did you and Shi Yi get acquainted? He doesn't seem like your usual crowd!" In the hotel room, Wang Yiqi was still relentlessly pestering Ying Ming about how he’d met Shi Yi. Ying Ming lit a cigarette, glanced at him lazily, and replied, “I wouldn’t have connected with him if it weren’t for you.” If Shi Yi hadn’t approached him because of Wang Yiqi, it was unlikely they’d have ever crossed paths. Having his past brought up, Wang Yiqi looked a bit uncomfortable. He gave a…

- Shi Yi was abroad when the film started shooting. He was in France working on a business deal, so he just skimmed through the news and gave Liu Li a quick call to congratulate her. Over the phone, Liu Li said, "Do you know what role Ying Ming is playing?" "What role?" "He's playing the villain. He’s supposed to rape me." She laughed after saying it. Shi Yi raised his eyebrows on the other end and teased, "With his build? That's a stretch, don’t you think?" That comment, however,…

- Later, Shi Yi told Ying Ming that the group was very happy. Ying Ming humbly said that he wasn't very good at organizing things like that. Shi Yi just gave a slight smile and didn't say anything. Most of the time, Shi Yi's friends could be categorized into a few distinct types. One type included people like Wang Le, with whom he had grown up. Their bond had become a habit over the years. They might eat a meal together every now and then, rarely call each other unless something came up, but they…

- When Shi Yi came downstairs, he noticed that Ying Ming still had a pile of rafting gear in his car. "So, you were out rafting?" Glancing at the back seat, Shi Yi chuckled. "Next time, remember to invite me." "Sure," Ying Ming said casually. Leaning back against the car seat, his hair still damp, he ruffled it a bit and tilted his head toward Shi Yi. "Tell me what you're thinking. What's the plan?" Leaning back against the car seat, his hair still wet, he ruffled it a bit and tilted his head…

- It wasn’t until much later that Shi Yi finally figured out why Ying Ming had looked so familiar. Turns out, he was a celebrity. Considering that face of his was his meal ticket, that made sense. Shi Yi tried to recall what roles Ying Ming had played but couldn’t come up with anything specific. It wasn't a huge surprise. He never really had much interest in movies to begin with. Watching movies had always felt like something to pass the time back in his student days. After leaving those…

- At 3 a.m., even in B City, famously known as a sleepless metropolis, the streets were nearly deserted. Only the neon lights were on, making the long autumn streets look a little bright. From a distance, came the deafening roar of engines, loud enough to disturb the entire city, speeding closer at a heart-stopping pace before vanishing just as swiftly. By the time the noise faded, all that was left were two faint red dots disappearing into the distance. And before ten minutes had passed, the…

Sticking around any longer would have been pointless. He Dongying told Mu Yuan to pass a message to Xiang Yang, then left on his own. Mu Yuan picked up two slices of cake and walked over to the bar. He handed one to the man sitting there. The man took it with a smile and a hint of flirtation in his eyes as he looked at Mu Yuan. “You look unfamiliar. First time here?” He leaned in slightly, resting a hand on Mu Yuan’s thigh and tapping his fingers a few times. His eyes were half-lidded,…- 147.2 K • Completed
