The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish - Chapter 119

On the day he got the script, Ye Zexi stayed up all night to read the script.

The movie is called “After the Rain”. After reading the script, Ye Zexi lay down on the bed for a while before reaching out and wiping away tears with a tissue.

He Jinyun was awakened by this sound, and when he opened his eyes he saw Ye Zexi wiping away tears with a tissue.

He was taken aback for a moment, then he suddenly sat up from the bed, and hurriedly took Ye Zexi’s hand: “Xi Xi, why are you crying?”

Ye Zexi didn’t expect this action to wake He Jinyun, he glared at He Jinyun with red eyes, and then complained, “Isn’t it because of you?”

He Jinyun was really frightened. Although he didn’t know the reason, he still took the person into his arms. His soft fingertips gently wiped the corners of Ye Zexi’s wet eyes, and his voice was very low: “I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”

Ye Zexi: “…”

This person really starts apologizing without asking the reason.

He felt a bit amused, but it was more of a warm feeling in his heart and the sweetness at the tip of the tongue.

“You…” Ye Zexi whispered in a low voice, but before he finished speaking, he sighed and said, “Forget it, forget it.”

He Jinyun looked down at him: “Huh?”

After knowing that Ye Zexi was crying while reading the script, He Jinyun was relieved and also a little amused.

“You still dare to laugh!” Ye Zexi glanced at He Jinyun uncomfortably, “I blame you! Every time you write a script, you make sure to shatter people’s hearts with the angst, the audience really likes you too much!”

He Jinyun laughed lightly: “Then don’t you like it?”

“How come I don’t like it!” Ye Zexi turned over and sat on He Jinyun’s lap, grabbed the man’s collar and leaned in to kiss him, “If I say I don’t like it now, are you going to change the second lead immediately? Huh? Mr. Director?”

He Jinyun’s gaze fell on Ye Zexi’s red lips, the man’s Adam’s apple rolled lightly, and he leaned over and kissed it lightly before saying, “No, you are the main lead this time.”

Ye Zexi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at He Jinyun in surprise: “What do you mean?”

“Literally.” He Jinyun smiled, “This time, I’m just a director.”

Ye Zexi was really surprised now.

After a two-second pause, Ye Zexi understood. Sure enough, He Jinyun already had the idea of ​​going behind-the-scenes early in his career, but he didn’t expect that this day would come so fast.

After thinking for a while, Ye Zexi asked, “Will you be participating in any acting role afterward?”

This time He Jinyun did not hesitate to say: “Yes. I love acting more than anyone else.”

“Then why this time…” Ye Zexi frowned, and suddenly a bold idea popped into his mind, “Don’t tell me you deliberately give me the main lead because you want me to win the award?”

He Jinyun smiled, his Xi Xi was much sharper than he thought.

He Jinyun never thought about keeping it secret from Ye Zexi, so he nodded, but at the same time said his own thoughts: “That’s not all, because this time I also want to win the best director.”

Ye Zexi’s eyebrows were still frowning together.

He wanted to say that the best actor award is actually not important to him, after all, it was not that he had not won this award.

After all, He Jinyun was not short of the best actor’s awards.

Think carefully about what He Jinyun said. Indeed, He Jinyun seemed to miss the best director award.

So Ye Zexi simply changed the subject: “Who is the second lead? Have you found a good actor?”

He Jinyun said a name that surprised Ye Zexi: “Tang Jing.”

“Tang Tang?!” Ye Zexi was really surprised, “have you talked to him?”

He Jinyun nodded: “Yeah.”

Ye Zexi still looked shocked.

He Jinyun looked amused: “What do you want to say?”

Ye Zexi gave him a look of understanding: “Then I hope someone will not be jealous on the set.”

“Will I?” He Jinyun raised his eyebrows, “I’m no longer jealous.”

“I hope so.” Ye Zexi smiled.

He Jinyun simply pretended to be angry due to embarrassment. He tugged Ye Zexi into the quilt and stuffed him into the bed. He got up by himself and walked to the kitchen. As he walked, he said, “You’ve been staying up late, have some porridge then make up for your sleep!”

Ye Zexi struggled to get up from under the quilt, not forgetting to say to the man’s back: “Teacher He! Remember not to be jealous at that time!”

Two seconds later, He Jinyun’s voice came: “Then I will simply call the agent and change Tang Jing!”

Ye Zexi burst out laughing in an instant, and quickly said: “No, no! Tang Tang’s acting is so good!”

“My acting skills are not good?”

Across the bedroom and the kitchen, the two of them spoke loudly.

Ye Zexi suddenly laughed louder.

*

In the end, the movie “After the Rain” officially started filming on October 15.

The day before the shooting, Ye Zexi finally saw Tang Jing.

Compared to before, Tang Jing’s current state looked much better, and the obvious fatigue on his face was long gone.

Ye Zexi couldn’t hold back and said, “Tang Tang has rested well recently?”

Tang Jing shrugged, “That’s not it,” as he said, he pointed to his agent who was chatting with Gao Shu, and said in a low voice, “My agent said this movie is a youth and school theme. If I come here with panda eyes, they might switch me on the first day!”

Ye Zexi was immediately happy after listening.

But what Tang Jing’s agent said was unreasonable.

Although Ye Zexi didn’t talk to He Jinyun much about the casts, after all, this was the first movie directed by He Jinyun, and many people in the industry had paid attention to it. There was a lot of attention, even if Ye Zexi didn’t deliberately inquire, he heard a lot of news.

For example, no to actors who have a stardom attitude, no to those who don’t have the temperament, and no to those who have bad acting skills, and so on.

He Jinyun’s choice of casting was quite like Chen Zhengtian.

Thanked to “Famous General” had a good reputation at the box office, so despite such strict requirements, many actors still actively came to He Jinyun, saying that even small roles are okay.

Of course, in the end, He Jinyun was also very strict in casting roles. Finally, after three interviews and several selections, he chose the current actors.

That night, the protagonists had a meal together, and they were getting familiar with each other.

Ye Zexi also knew who the leading actors were at this time. In this way, many of them were well-known entertainers and actors in the entertainment industry.

But apart from Tang Jing, Ye Zexi really didn’t know anyone.

Fortunately, He Jinyun was there, and Ye Zexi did not have to be forced to socialize.

The start-up ceremony began the next day, and the character photo was taken.

At 8 o’clock that night, the official blog of “After the Rain” officially announced the lineup of the leading actors, and at the same time released today’s character photos.

Netizens were shocked as soon as they saw the post.

“Wait! Isn’t this Film Emperor He’s movie? So where is Film Emperor He?”

“Is Xi Xi the male lead??!!!”

“Fuck! Who did I see! It’s XiTang!!! It’s our XiTang CP!!! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

“So this time, Film Emperor He is only directing the movie, he won’t participate in the movie?”

The movie Official Weibo replied to this comment: “Yes.”

One stone caused a thousand waves.

Fans of He Jinyun were even more shocked.

Fans had already guessed He Jinyun’s idea of ​​transforming, but they didn’t expect that this day would come so suddenly and so quickly.

“Well, isn’t it, I’m not ready yet!”

“Is it so fast?”

“Although I am sad, I still want to congratulate the male god who finally became the director QAQ.”

“Looking at what you guys say, I’m so sad!”

“Uuuuuuu I didn’t expect that “Famous General” would be the last movie that the male god would be in as an actor!”

Seeing that the tone in the comment area became more and more crooked, Ye Zexi couldn’t help but directly reposted the Weibo.

@Ye Zexi: Who said Teacher He stopped acting in movies? He didn’t shoot “After the Rain” because he is getting older. Who has ever seen anyone who is almost in their thirty act as a student?

As soon as this Weibo was posted, fans were relieved and laughed again.

“@He Jinyun Come and see, your boyfriend says you are old.”

“Thirty is okay!”

“Should I go through the process or just laugh directly?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

“We He Jinyun’s fans don’t even know whether to laugh or to cry for a while.”

“Xi Xi, you are too much! After all, he is your boyfriend ah!”

“Save some pride for Teacher He! Please!”

“Hahahahahahahaha, Teacher He doesn’t want pride!”

In response, He Jinyun’s reply was:

@He Jinyun: You despise me.

Ye Zexi replied again: “No, I just told the truth. Just like I said you are the most handsome!”

Fans who watched the whole journey: “Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!”

“We don’t need money for screaming!”

“Please always be this sweet!”

“Woo kdlkdl!”

“Sure enough, it was correct to ship HeXi at the beginning! Every day, they can give me different happiness!”

“Yes! Every day is a different candy! The XiTang fangirl next door is crying!”

“Sister upstairs, you’re not alone! We XiTang fans don’t want face!”

“Hahahahaha, speaking of it, today can also be considered that XiTang is giving out sugar! Xi Xi and Tang Tang are working together again!”

“…I think the sister upstairs must have lost her way after being bladed, you even dare to eat the glass shards sugar!”

“Today is another day for XiTang fangirl to tear up QAQ”

“…”

He Jinyun and Ye Zexi once again openly interacted to show their affection, and pushed the already popular Weibo to the topic list. For a time, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.

With the official shooting of “After the Rain”, good news came from the side of “Famous General”.

The Hua Guo Golden Bird Awards officially announced that “Famous General” was nominated for the best film of the year, along with best director Chen Zhengtian, best actor He Jinyun, and best newcomer and best supporting actor Ye Zexi.

When the news came out, the fans were ecstatic.

“Ahhhhhh! Good news!”

“”Famous General”, charge forward!!!”

“JiangZi, charge forward!”

“So happy!”

“Xi Xi actually has two nominations! Great!”

“Yes, yes! I’m not surprised by the other nominations, I was really shocked by Xi Xi’s nomination!”

Not just fans, even Ye Zexi was a little surprised when he heard the news.

He Jinyun looked at Ye Zexi’s expression and smiled: “So surprised?”

Ye Zexi nodded and said, “I knew I would definitely have a nomination, but I didn’t expect that there would be so many nominations.”

He Jinyun glanced around with his eyes and said, “As long as there is no strong competitor in the second half of the year, your award is set.”

Ye Zexi laughed: “So sure.”

“Yeah.” The man nodded heavily.

Because He Jinyun believed in his Xi Xi.
