Zhao Yilin's crew was going to host the opening ceremony of the new movie in front of the office building where the movie was shown.
"How am I dressed today?" Zhao Yilin was both excited and nervous.
"Very well, don't be nervous." Zhang Yanzhen was wearing a black mask and a slightly rustic overcoat. He looked like a veteran manager standing by her side.
One by one, the participants of the opening ceremony arrived. Other than the male and female lead, the second male and the second female lead were also present. She didn't know who was acting, but she suppressed her curiosity and stood modestly behind them.
Suddenly, she heard someone call her name. "Linlin, I'm over here."
Zhao Yilin's heart skipped a beat. She saw Fang Xinying getting off the van and waving at her.
Yingying! "Why are you here!" Zhao Yilin ran towards her with a smile on her face. She held her hand tightly and observed her surroundings carefully. When she saw that Zhao Yilin was dressed beautifully and was brimming with energy, she finally felt relieved.
Fang Xinying whispered: "What do you think I'm doing here?"
Zhao Yilin pointed at herself, puzzled. "You're not here to see me?"
"Tsk." Fang Xinying smiled, "I'm here to participate in the opening ceremony. I'm Gesanshan, the female lead."
Zhao Yilin blinked, thinking that she had misheard. Her eyes turned redder and redder, and she almost burst into tears.
Fang Xinying shook her hand and smiled to comfort her.
On the way to pursue her dreams, Fang Xinying had paid more than she did, to the point where she had even given up her soul. Therefore, when she heard the news that the audition had failed, she only felt sad, while Fang Xinying wished that she was dead.
Quite a few reporters were preparing to interview them while the organizers of the event led the participants to their respective seats. Zhao Yilin was being selfish, so she held onto Fang Xinying's hand, wanting her to stand beside him.
At this moment, Wu Tai shouted, "Yi Lin, come over here and stand with the male lead."
Zhao Yilin turned to look at Fang Xinying and saw the second male lead hurrying over. He was a rookie who had become famous overnight because of his online TV show.
Relieved, she let go of Fang Xinying and stood between the director and the screenwriter.
He really didn't know when Zhang You had walked off the stage and taken a picture of her with his camera. She looked over at him with a bright smile.
With a flick of his finger, he pressed it lightly. The smile remained on the camera and was deeply imprinted in his mind.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "The male lead is here!"
The reporters surrounding the stage shouted and ran towards the entrance of the office building.
Zhao Yilin turned around in excitement, but her heart sank when she saw the male protagonist's ice-cold face.
Huo Yelin walked out of the revolving door and threw the signed documents in his hands to Dou Dou. "Find Tian Qi to take care of the rest of the matters. I've been busy lately."
Before he could finish his words, a group of reporters quickly gathered around him. The microphone was extended over with a 'ka ka ka' sound.
A reporter asked: "Do you decide to play the male lead of this play, is it a personal hobby, or is there some other purpose?"
"What do you think about your role as the male lead, and what do you think about Miss Zhao Yueran?"
Huo Yelin could see the back of Zhao Yilin through the crowd and the flashing lights. She was wearing a black hat that flew left and right.
He walked up the stage step by step. When the reporters saw that he did not answer them, they shouted even louder and started talking at once.
Finally he stopped beside Zhao Yilin, picked up a microphone from the crowd and said, "You'll know when you see the movie."
Zhao Yilin stood beside him with a smile on her face. Her mind was buzzing. Could she run away? No, there were too many reporters here. Moreover, Yingying was still here, she couldn't destroy the opening ceremony. Can you pretend to faint? That doesn't seem to be any different from running away …
She thought of some useless countermeasures in her mind, and inadvertently felt Zhang You Zhen's gaze. He was standing behind the reporter, pouting at her: Don't be afraid, I'm here.
Zhao Yilin felt a pang in her heart and tried to smile at him.
At this moment, Wu Tai waved at the actors and investors on stage, "Come on, let's take a picture together."
Everyone squeezed together, holding Zhao Yilin and Huo Yelin in the middle like sandwiches. The two of them were constantly being kneaded. No one knew how complicated the emotions were behind their smiles.
Huo Yelin placed his hand on Zhao Yilin's shoulder, both of their auras flowing into each other's body. It was because they were too familiar with each other that they felt like strangers, as if this was the first time they had met, the first time they had hugged each other, the first time they had placed each other in their hearts.
"One, two, three, eggplants —!"
The photographer looked down at the photo and made an OK pose. Zhao Yilin watched his back and thought to himself, "This must be the ugliest photo I've ever taken."
The next process was very simple. The filmmaker, director, screenwriter, and protagonist spoke. Everyone lifted the red cloth covering the camera, hoping to start the show. At this moment, the screenwriter Fu walked up behind Zhao Yilin and Huo Yelin and patted them on the arm. "You two go and start the ball. You have to do your part well!"
Zhao Yelin's legs trembled. Before she could refuse, Huo Yelin took her hand and pulled her to the start ball.
The audience went silent for a few seconds, their gazes focused on the two of them.
The host said loudly, "'In order to make love come true' will officially begin today!"
Huo Yelin grabbed her hand and pressed it on the start ball. The sounds of fireworks immediately resounded from all directions. Colorful ribbons filled the sky as warm applause rang out from the audience.
Zhao Yilin looked up at the fireworks in the blue sky, and completely gave up on the idea of filming.
The hand he was holding was warm, strong and a little rough. Huo Yelin was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his expression calm.
He hadn't said a word to her until the end of the ceremony, and neither had she.
After that, they each drove to the first location.
Zhao Yilin was sitting by the window, staring blankly out the window.
Fang Xinying hugged her shoulders tightly and said, "Linlin, be happy."
"I'm very happy." Zhao Yilin sighed and said, "I just don't know what kind of demon he's up to."
Zhang Ye was indeed driving in front, and he glanced at her through the rearview mirror.
Fang Xinying said, "We're filming a movie here. No matter how unreasonable he is, he should at least abide by his professional ethics, right?"
Zhao Yilin nodded and decided to trust him again.
The first scene of the male and female protagonists was filmed beside the charming Huangpu river. Everything was fine except that the wind by the river was too strong and too cold to even open one's mouth.
Huo Yelin looked at the script and said, "Back then, you rejected my proposal in front of so many people, and now you're crying as you came looking for me. What's the meaning of this?"
His voice was already low, but it sounded real.
"No." Zhao Yilin paused, not knowing who the damnable actor was. "Ye Lin, believe me, I've been fond of you since a long, long time ago. Before you met me, before this world even began! "
Zhao Yilin couldn't help but wonder who had written the lines in Qianyu's style. At this moment, the screenwriter, who happened to be looking in her direction, smiled and waved at her.
Zhao Yilin: "…"
They were facing each other on the riverbank. After reading one page, he flipped to the next page. The first line read: Dong Xiaowan has taken the initiative to embrace and kiss Ye Lin.
Zhao Yilin: "…"
His progress was way too fast!
Huo Yelin flipped to the next page. Upon seeing those words, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Read it quickly." Huo Yelin urged.
"Wait a minute, I want to talk to the screenwriter."
"About what?"
"The plot is progressing too quickly."
Huo Yelin turned around and looked at River River. The black scarf slipped from his shoulders and swayed with the wind, "You didn't read the original book did you? This progress is already considered slow. "
Zhao Yilin shivered. She could feel the wind blowing through her sleeves and scratching her heart.
He put the teacup into her hand. "Drink some hot tea, and the film won't be so cold."
Huo Yelin put his hand on the stone railing. Seeing Zhao Yelin take a big sip of her milk tea, his mouth dropped in a comfortable smack and his eyes squinted in delight. "It's so delicious. It's much warmer now."
"Is this your agent?" Huo Yelin suddenly said.
"Yes." Zhao Yilin vaguely sensed that he was looking for trouble, and hurriedly told Zhang Youzhen, "You should go rest in the car first."
"Your agent can't." Huo Yelin spoke straightforwardly with a sharp look in his eyes, "Treat others well. Don't you see that there are two people here? You just brought a cup of milk tea over? "
Zhang You stared at him fearlessly, but his tone was polite. "I was not considerate. I'll go buy another one right away. I wonder what Boss Huo likes?"
Zhao Yilin stepped forward and said, "No need to buy it, I don't see any grown man who likes to drink milk tea!"
Huo Yelin was still staring at Zhang Yanzhen, his anger boiling. "I like it, and I like the taste of you." He grabbed Zhao Yilin's milk tea.
Zhao Yilin was surprised. She frowned as she saw him inhaling from her straw.
Zhao Yilin patted his arm and said, "You go back first, I'm not cold anymore."
As the two of them were playing, Zhao Yelin would occasionally look at the milk tea in Huo Yelin's hand. The straw in her hand was blown away by the wind, while the tip of the tea had already been bitten off by her.
Before the auction started, the two of them were walking towards the venue. Huo Yelin casually threw the milk tea into the trash can, and with a bang, he said, "I've never tasted anything so bad." "It's sweet, but it has a hint of plastic."
"You!" Zhao Yilin said angrily, "If you have the ability, don't drink it!"
Zhao Yelin was fuming. She did not manage to shoot the movie twice in a row, but Huo Yelin was very focused on it. Every word he said was filled with the anger and coldness of the male lead.
After the third time, Zhao Yilin finally let go of herself and forced herself to fall in love with the man in front of her wholeheartedly.
According to the script, she took the initiative to hug his waist and print her lips. The cold north wind stirred her wild spirits, and the waves of sound rolled in her ears.
When the director stopped clapping, their lips parted reluctantly.
