After The Actor Made a Match For Me, He Died Out of Jealousy - Chapter 57

Chapter 57- Two More

“This is the last scene. Let the crew set up the set, and we will call it a day.”

Cheng Qinghua and the field manager walked over to Qin Lu after talking and saw him sitting on a chair, staring at the phone motionless.

“What are you doing?”

Qin Lu knew that his mood was a bit fallacious recently, “I have a friend who feels that his mood is a bit fallacious recently.”

Cheng Qinghua snorted, “Are you talking about yourself?”

Qin Lu frowned displeasedly, “I’m talking about a friend, not me.”

Cheng Qinghua: “Oh, I thought you were referring to yourself. Your mood today is a little bit sensitive.”

Qin Lu: “I’m not.”

Cheng Qinghua: “Alright, then why does your friend feel that his emotions are not right?”

Qin Lu: “He said he didn’t know either, but occasionally he felt a little irritated.”

Cheng Qinghua: “If it’s a woman, it may be her menstrual period, or she is nearing her menopausal period.”

Qin Lu: “He’s a man.”

Cheng Qinghua touched his chin, “If it’s a man, under what circumstances does he feel irritated?”

Qin Lu: “I’ll ask.”

After he finished speaking, he actually took out his mobile phone. He opened the WeChat app and sent a message to one of his contacts.

Cheng Qinghua stared at him for a while, thinking that it wasn’t him.

On the other hand, Zhou Wenbin, who received Qin Lu’s message, sent a question and asked him what was wrong. If whether he encountered something because he didn’t understand the question.

Qin Lu: [You don’t have to understand, just chat with me casually.]

He didn’t want Cheng Qinghua to know that he was talking about himself, so he deliberately did a show.

Two minutes later, Qin Lu felt that it was alright now and took the initiative to end the chat.

“He said that this irritable mood was related to a friend who had a good relationship with him before, and the two often chatted.” Qin Lu said.

“Well, then what?”

“Then the other party met a new friend recently. There is a lot of conversation between the two. Recently, they have been together every day because of work. In the past, the other party often chatted with others too. My friend didn’t feel much, but recently, he was a little unhappy every time he heard about him and his new friend. What do you think is the reason behind this?”

After Qin Lu finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Qinghua.

Cheng Qinghua was a little stunned. He almost didn’t understand it when he went around, but eventually finally figured it out, “Generally, there are two reasons for this situation.”

Qin Lu made a listening gesture, “What are those two reasons?”

Cheng Qinghua: “The first reason, your friend feels that he has been replaced by another person. Like within two good friends, another one suddenly butted in. This person gets to have a very good relationship with one of them. Because of this, the latter might feel that his friend is being taken away from him, making him feel uncomfortable.”

Qin Lu thought about it for a while and felt that this could be the reason behind all of this, “What about the other?”

Cheng Qinghua: “The other one is that he may like his friend. That is why he became unhappy whenever he saw him getting close to others.”

Qin Lu frowned, “But what if my friend didn’t mind him being close to others before? But now he is unhappy whenever they see the two of them close. Can this also be classified as liking someone?”

Cheng Qinghua scratched his hair. “If that’s the case, it doesn’t seem to be the case.”

Qin Lu nodded, “Then I understand.”

Cheng Qinghua thinks that there are other possibilities. For example, his friend might not like him before the way he does now. This is also possible.

……….

But before he could speak, the assistant director suddenly came over and called him, saying that there might be a problem with the set.

Cheng Qinghua got up to deal with it and then forgot to mention it.

Qin Lu opened WeChat and re-watched his chat with Jiang Liucheng. The other party just asked him if he had finished filming, and he replied that he had not finished filming yet.

Jiang Liucheng: [Then you can do it first. I’ll treat you to dinner when you finish filming.]

QinLu: [Go back to your hotel early in the evening and don’t drink.]

Jiang Liucheng: [Okay.]

Jiang Liucheng put away his phone and heard Jian Qiao ask him, “Are you talking to Brother Qin?”

Jiang Liucheng replied, “Yes, it’s him.”

Jian Qiao put down his beer can and said again with emotion, “You have a really good relationship with Brother Qin. Many people tried to approach him before, but they were unsuccessful.”

Jiang Liucheng: “Why? Because he is the best actor?”

Upon hearing this, Jian Qiao raised his eyes to meet his. He smiled, “You really don’t know, huh? Brother Qin is not just a movie emperor.”

Jiang Liucheng said, “I know. You and Director Qian Dao said before that he was the boss of Qiming Investment Company.”

Jian Qiao: “That is just one of them. In fact, there is another rumor. Many people say that Brother Qin is the heir of a wealthy family. This time, he retired from the entertainment industry to inherit the family property. Of course, this news has not been verified yet.”

Jiang Liucheng “Since it’s just a rumor, it means that it may be fake. And even if he’s not an heir, he’s good enough. So there’s no need to care if he’s the heir of a wealthy family or not.”

Jian Qiao lowered his eyes, resulting in his eyelashes to cast a shadow under his eyes, “Yes, he is really good himself. Many people like him, but unfortunately, very few people can get close to him, so I envy you.”

Jiang Liucheng was slightly startled, “Envy me?”

Jian Qiao sighed and said, “Yes, I am a fan of Brother Qin. When he first debuted ten years ago, I became a fan of his because I am a screenwriter. Later, I was lucky enough to add his WeChat. I was very happy at the time. It’s a pity that Brother Qin and I haven’t chatted often on WeChat for so many years. And sometimes, when I send him messages, he just responds with a sentence or two.”

Jiang Liucheng asked inexplicably, “If you regard him as an idol, shouldn’t it be a very happy thing that your idol can reply to your messages?”

Jian Qiao’s drinking stopped. It was true. He thought so at the beginning and was very happy that Brother Qin could reply to his messages.

“Maybe people get greedy. When the relationship is good, I hope to go further.”

Jiang Liucheng was silent. He didn’t think so. When he had a good relationship with Guo Qifan and the others, he never thought of going further, and the positioning between people was different.

After eating the barbecue, it was already eleven o’clock in the evening. After the bill was settled, the two got up and went back to the hotel.

The barbecue stall was not very far from the hotel, and they walked back against the summer wind.

It was approaching September, and as soon as the night fell, the wind became cooler at night when the market opened. When they returned to the hotel, the barbecue smell on them was also blown away by the wind.

Jiang Liucheng’s room was on the fifth floor of the hotel, and Jian Qiao was on the sixth floor. The elevator door opened, and their phone rang at the same time. It was sent by Qin Lu, saying that he had finished filming, and asked him if he had finished eating.

Jiang Liucheng said goodbye to Jian Qiao and returned to his room while replying to Qin Lu’s message.

The next day, Jiang Liucheng had a few scenes in the morning, and the crew was halfway through the set. In order to make up for the scenes left by the last actor’s accident, Director Qian gave him a relatively full lineup.

Jiang Liucheng brought his assistant and makeup artist to the crew early in the morning.

He Yu also came early, and when he saw him come in, he immediately greeted him.

“Do you need my makeup artist to do your makeup today? If you need it, you have to wait for me, maybe for an hour.” Jiang Liucheng said to him.

“No, no.” He Yu waved his hand, “I came in late because I didn’t need it today.”

Jiang Liucheng nodded slightly, “You can talk to my makeup artist next time if you need it.”

The smile on He Yu’s face became more and more sincere, “Okay.”

The other young actors in the dressing room saw that the relationship between He Yu and Jiang Liucheng was quite good, and they were a little envious in their eyes. Unfortunately, they didn’t recognize Jiang Liucheng yesterday, and they missed the best chance to be official with each other. It is impossible to be like He Yu if you lean over now.

In the next few days, because Jiang Liucheng had a lot of scenes, he didn’t finish work until eleven or twelve every time.

The progress is very fast, but the crew did not arrange all his scenes together. They only let him play when it was his turn, so the filming was late these days.

The original appointment of inviting Qin Lu to have a barbecue was put on hold for the time being.

After three days of work, Jiang Liucheng was finally able to rest and finish work early at 5 o’clock in the afternoon.

There are not many scenes left. In order to save money, the crew split up his scenes to be completed in a few days.

“Congratulations, you don’t have to be busy until eleven or twelve o’clock in the evening today. I know a delicious seafood porridge. They serve it very fresh, but it’s a little far away from here. But you’re leaving work so early today, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Do you want to go?” Jian Qiao came over after his last shot.

The people around hadn’t dispersed, and when they heard this, they couldn’t help but look at the two of them with strange eyes.

Jian Qiao has a great reputation. Maybe not many people outside the circle have heard of him, but many people in the entertainment circle know about him. He is equivalent to a star in the screenwriting world. When he actually invited Jiang Liucheng out to dinner, everyone was guessing what their relationship was.

Jiang Liucheng didn’t immediately agree, “What’s the name of that seafood porridge, and how far is it from the crew?”

Jian Qiao went to eat a few times there already, so he was able to say the name of the restaurant directly, “It should take about 40 minutes to drive, but it’s not very far.”

Jiang Liucheng could not refuse easily. The last time Jian Qiao invited him to have a barbecue, he should have invited him back again, so he agreed, “I’ll invite you to eat next time, but I may have to bring a few more people.”

Jian Qiao: “Okay, if I can have a meal with you, you can just bring a few more people.”

Jiang Liucheng: “Then wait for me for a while. I’ll take off my makeup.”

Jian Qiao made an ok gesture.

It didn’t take long for Jiang Liucheng to remove his makeup. He heard that they were going to eat seafood porridge from K’s family, and asked Jian Qiao to bring him a copy when he came back.

Forty minutes later, the nanny’s car stopped in front of K’s seafood porridge. The ingredients of this seafood porridge are famously fresh in the local area, so it is always full of people. Fortunately for them, they’re not too late. There are seats still available.

Jian Qiao originally wanted to sit outside, but Jiang Liucheng asked the waiter for a private room.

He didn’t know why until the private room door opened, and a tall man walked in.
