After making headlines with the actor

"Ka, very good!"

Cheng Yuzhang applauded below.

Ji Ze let go, got up and walked to the side of the stage.

Fang Yi sat up in relief, before stepping off the stage, he couldn't help but cast a glance at Ji Ze's waist.

There seems to be nothing unusual. Could it be that he thought wrong just now?

"Aze, you have a good feeling acting with this kid, the sparks are flying straight away."

Cheng Yuzhang said.

Ji Ze snorted coldly, let go of his red and swollen palms, and said in a low voice, "Too tender, I advise you to find someone with big screen experience."

"I just like fresh and tender seedlings. It's only when you play with them that you can grow them. What do you think?"

Cheng Yuzhang's tone was low.

Ji Ze didn't bother to talk to him, and put on his sunglasses again: "There's an announcement, let's go."

Watching Ji Ze leave through the back door, Fang Yi's tense nerves finally relaxed a bit.

"Kids, don't be afraid. Ji Ze is just like that, just get along with him more."

"Director Cheng, what do you mean..."

Cheng Yuzhang stuffed the script into his arms and winked at him.

"That's what you think. Are you guys going on summer vacation next Friday? How about coming directly to the crew to report?"

"But—" Fang Yi hesitated to speak.

"Xiaolan, come, make arrangements."

"Okay, Director Cheng." The assistant quickly stepped forward to explain the matters related to the contract.

Cheng Yuzhang took off his peaked cap to fan the wind, and let the staff clean up the venue comfortably.Before leaving, he winked at Fang Yi and said with a smile, "Kid, see you next week."

When Fang Yi came out with the contract and script in hand, he still felt unreal.

He was just... chosen by Cheng Yuzhang out of nowhere?

And still cooperate with Ji Ze?

Thinking of Ji Ze's cold eyes when he was playing with him, Fang Yi couldn't help shivering in the hot summer air.

He even doubted whether he could live safely until the end of the filming.

"Fang Yi, how are you doing? How long have you persisted?"

Seeing him coming out, Song Qiao immediately went up to meet him.

"I……"

Fang Yi waved the contract in his hand with a strange expression: "I have been selected."

"Fuck, you bastard!" Song Qiao patted his shoulder with a palm, his expression was filled with excitement: "I knew you were the hope of the whole department! Sure enough!"

"Hahahaha, I'm going to tell the whole school, our class is so awesome!"

The news that Fang Yi was selected by Cheng Yuzhang quickly spread like wildfire. Within two days, when Fang Yi went to the cafeteria for a meal, he received envious and jealous looks.

Cheng Yuzhang's second male lead, this is a role that no one in the circle can beat, but Fang Yi, who is only a freshman, has easily won it.

"Fang Yi, shit, shit!"

Song Qiao's familiar loud voice sounded from the other end of the corridor.

Fang Yi didn't raise his head, he put food in his mouth: "Why are you so crazy?"

"Cheng Yuzhang's Weibo, have you read it?"

Fang Yi showed a puzzled expression.

Song Qiao slammed down the dinner plate, his eyes almost popped out: "He @吉泽了, said that the new film cooperation is happy!! Do you know what this means?"

"Um...what do you mean?"

"My brother is the male lead in Cheng Yuzhang's new play! You are going to cooperate with my brother!"

Song Qiao shook his shoulders frantically, and instantly turned into a lemon essence.

"If I had known that Ji Ze was the male lead, even if I knelt in front of Director Cheng and cried for my father and mother, I begged him to give me a soy sauce role. This is Ji Ze, I'm about to shed tears on the Huangpu River!"

He almost vomited the food in Fang Yi's mouth. He pushed away Song Qiao's fingers and reminded him, "Brother, this is a public place."

Song Qiao pretended to shed a few tears of grievance, seeing Fang Yi's indifference, finally couldn't hold back, and moved closer to him.

"Fang Yi, can we discuss it?"

"Why?" Fang Yi had a bad feeling.

Song Qiao took out a plastic-covered photo album from somewhere, Xing Xing stared at Fang Yi.

"After you join the group, ask Ji Ze for an autograph for me. It would be even better if he could write a sentence for me, okay?"

Fang Yi rolled his eyes.

"You go by yourself, I don't chase stars."

"I haven't found a chance." Song Qiao put all the braised pork and chicken legs in his bowl into the square wing bowl, and said persuasively, "How about a month's breakfast?"

Fang Yi was in deep thought.

Song Qiao gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Wash the shoes for another month!"

"Okay." Fang Yi said reluctantly.

"Yes!" Song Qiao suddenly smiled, touched his feet, and somehow took out a few more posters and put them in Fang Yi's hand.

"By the way, sign a few more posters, okay? I have a school girl who really likes him."

"Song-Bridge!"

"Then I'll take it as your promise!"

Holding the dinner plate, Song Qiao hurried away.

The day before joining the group, Fang Yi read all the scripts.When he saw Cheng Yuzhang's incomprehensible look before, he was afraid that this was some kind of bloody ethics drama. It wasn't until he finished reading the script that he realized how naive his thoughts were.

Cheng Yuzhang's new film is called "Innocence". The name sounds like a youth film, but the subject matter is very heavy.The protagonist of the story is an ordinary lawyer. One day, he received legal aid from a 15-year-old boy, A Fei, who wanted to sue his uncle for indecentness.Seeing A Fei's foolishness, the protagonist thought it was a prank, and didn't take it seriously at all, until one day, a bad boy named Zhou Fan stopped the protagonist on his way to get off work and beat him up...

It turns out that Ah Fei is Zhou Fan's younger brother. Zhou Fan has dropped out of junior high school and is the leader of the gangsters in the West District.The protagonist vowed to send these scumbags to prison, but when he really understood Zhou Fan and the family behind those bad boys and why A Fei wanted to sue his uncle, he realized how wrong he was... …

Shocked.

This is Fang Yi's biggest feeling after reading the script.The subject matter is sharp, pointing directly at the two most sensitive social pain points at the moment, one is juvenile delinquency, and the other is sexual assault of minors.Although out of commercial considerations, there are a lot of black humor plots in the script design, but the tone of the whole book is still heavy and sharp.This kind of film is very likely to be thankless, unpopular in the mainstream market, and even difficult to pass the review.

Ji Ze dared to challenge such a subject when his career had reached the top and he didn't need the blessing of literary awards, which touched Fang Yi a lot.

He knew in his heart that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he could complete the role of Zhou Fan well, he might be nominated for the male supporting role of Bai Hua by the end of the year.Thinking of this, he felt a little excited, and took out the comments he had made before and began to revise them.

On the day of entering the group, Fang Yi got up early.

He was carrying a pack of posters and photos, and stood at the entrance of the hotel. After waiting for a long time, he saw Xiao Lan coming out of the door.

"Fang Yi, here we come."

Xiaolan yawned, she probably didn't expect Fang Yi to come so early, she was a little surprised.

"Director Cheng and the others...haven't gotten up yet?"

"Yeah, Director Cheng usually sleeps until he wakes up naturally. Only shoot when he feels it."

Fang Yi thought that Cheng Yuzhang was such an awesome director, and the crew under him must be working from dawn to dusk, working every minute and every second, but he didn't expect to be so lazy and casual.

It seems that the rumors about investors being half-dead by his slow work pace are probably true.

Since Cheng Yuzhang was sleeping, Fang Yi couldn't disturb him.He took the hotel room card handed over by Xiaolan, and suddenly thought of something.

"Miss Xiaolan, I have read the script carefully and memorized one-third of the lines. Is there any other request from Director Cheng?"

"Ah, speaking of which, Director Cheng does have a request."

"Ok?"

"Show more sun, and then tan two shades."

that's all?Fang Yi entered the hotel with question marks all over his head. His skin color was already dark and his tan was easy. Every morning, he had to get up to practice his lines. When the time came, he would just run a few laps after practicing his lines.With such a vicious sun in Jiangcheng, he didn't have to worry about getting tanned.

It was almost noon when Fang Yi formally met with the crew.

Cheng Yuzhang's working status was completely different from usual, and he was terribly serious. He didn't say anything when he saw Fang Yi, but just waved his hand and motioned him to wait under the arbor.

Not long after Fang Yi sat down, Ji Ze came.He seemed to have just woken up, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his straight nose, and his eyelids were half drooping.Despite his decadent temperament, he managed to attract the attention of all the staff as soon as he appeared on the set.

"Mr. Ji, do you want some water?"

Immediately, a staff member came over with a bottle of mineral water.

Ji Ze shook his head and sat down on the recliner beside Fang Yi.

Fang Yi came to the set for a long time, but no one handed him a bottle of water.He looked at the box of mineral water in the corner, and unconsciously swallowed - water.

It seems that it is not good to ask for water actively. It should be for the staff...

Fang Yi felt a little regretful that he didn't bring a water bottle. He sat on a chair, read and reread the script in his hand, and suddenly heard Ji Ze's hoarse voice.

"Xiao Zhou, remove that water box."

Xiao Zhou is Ji Ze's assistant and bodyguard. He is not tall but has a strong figure. Hearing Ji Ze's words, he immediately went to the corner to unpack the boxes and distributed a bottle of water to all the staff present.

Fang Yi held the mineral water bottle and subconsciously looked at Ji Ze beside him.

The man walked behind the monitor at some point and was discussing something in a low voice with Cheng Yuzhang.

Fang Yi guessed that he was being self-indulgent, so he quickly drank a few sips of water and continued to recite his lines.

Fang Yi waited in the pergola for three hours.Cheng Yuzhang didn't speak, and he didn't dare to walk around, and obediently watched from the side.

In the afternoon, all of Ji Ze's scenes were filmed.The male lead he played was a lawyer named Jian An. Because he was not good at catering, he failed to become a partner after staying in the law firm for many years. He lived a numb life with a moderate salary every month. And a peaceful life until Zhou Fan appeared.

Fang Yi stood in front of the monitor, watching Ji Ze's every move behind the screen, his eyes widened slightly.

effortlessly.

This is Fang Yi's most intuitive feeling watching his performance.This person looks like he is not awake outside the camera, but when he is in front of the camera, his whole temperament has changed.The original elegant and noble temperament on his body disappeared instantly, and there was a sense of depression and numbness in his eyes, as ordinary as an office worker passing by the road.

Fang Yi clenched his fists unconsciously, he watched and thought, every detail, every movement, if he were Jane An, how would he perform it?If he plays against Ji Ze, how can he not be overshadowed by his light?

"Fang Yi, the next game is up to you."

Xiao Lan appeared behind him at some point.

Fang Yi was taken aback, and said in surprise, "So fast?" There was no advance notice.

"Well, Director Cheng's rhythm is like this, just get used to it."

Xiaolan's eyes were soft: "Go to the dressing room to put on makeup first, the next scene is your rivalry with Ji Ze."

"Which one is it?" Fang Yi smiled reluctantly.

"You beat him up and almost got into the game."

Cheng Yuzhang's laughing voice sounded.

"How about it, is it exciting to shoot this kind of scene on the first day?"

Fang Yi: ...
