Bai Ye had always been clean and honest. He never used relationships to hype himself up, and rarely had any scandals. Hearing An Ran's words, Qi Xingchen opened Weibo doubtfully.
The first trending topic was [Bai Ye met a mysterious woman at night, their relationship exposed], followed by a big red word, "Explosive", which was quite eye-catching.
"On the 21st of this month, our reporters took photos of Bai Ye entering a hotel near Baisha Harbor at around 23: 40 pm. He stayed for more than two hours before leaving at 3: 10 am. The next day, Bai Ye's nanny van stopped at the entrance of the hotel again and left after staying for nearly half an hour. "
An Ran read out the content of Weibo in a low voice, while Qi Xingchen opened the photos and looked at them one by one.
From the angle, these photos were taken across the hotel. The paparazzi who rented a room to watch the set of "Heart of the Ocean" accidentally found them and took photos.
In the photos taken on the 21st, Bai Ye and the crew returned to the hotel together. Director Shang, Tao Tao, Feng Qingyuan, and Qi Xingchen were all in the country.
In the photos taken out of the hotel, only Bai Ye was seen, and no one saw him off.
On the 22nd, Bai Ye's nanny van came and left, and Qi Xingchen got into the van.
However, due to the angle, only the top of Qi Xingchen's head could be vaguely seen in the photo. His appearance, height, and clothing were all blocked by the van, and it was impossible to tell if he was a man or a woman.
If an outsider saw this, this photo would be very suspicious.
Qi Xingchen was slightly relieved. He thought that Bai Ye had really gone to meet a girl.
Now it seemed that Bai Ye had been careless when he came to look for him these two times and was caught by the paparazzi.
He opened the comment section.
[Let me explain: The rest of the people in the photos are all members of the "Heart of the Ocean" crew. Brother Ye has a good relationship with the director and actors Tao Tao and Qi Xingchen. He probably went to visit the set.]
[If he's visiting the set, won't the director see him off? Shang Yuliang couldn't possibly be so indecent, right? And the next day, he went to the entrance of the hotel again. It's obvious that he called her down to get intimate with her. A certain Kong shouldn't deceive himself anymore.]
[I advise some people to watch their words. What do you mean by 'tender'? Do you know if he's here to collect or deliver something?]
[It's fine for an assistant to take and deliver things. Is there a need for your brother to do it personally? You don't even know how to find excuses. Aren't you afraid that the wind will hurt your tongue?]
Bai Ye had a lot of die-hard fans and haters. Now, the comments section was full of arguments. Qi Xingchen stood up —
An Ran stopped him. "Hey, Xing Xing, where are you going?"
"I'll give Brother Ye a call and discuss how to refute the rumors."
"Xing Xing, before I became Bai Ye's fan, I was your assistant …" An Ran looked embarrassed. "It's my duty. I have to remind you of something. Listen to me first before you decide whether to help him refute the rumors or not."
When she spoke, her expression was solemn. Qi Xingchen frowned slightly. Was there a problem if he helped Bai Ye refute the rumors?
"Go ahead." He nodded.
"I remember clearly that you told me that Bai Ye went out of your room at two o 'clock in the morning."
Qi Xingchen: "Yes, yes."
"Then take a look at the content of the Weibo article and the time marked on the photo of him leaving the hotel."
Qi Xingchen was stunned.
He didn't need to look.
When he scrolled through the photo just now, he observed very carefully. The time when Bai Ye left the hotel was 3: 10 in the morning.
The article could be fabricated, but the photo couldn't lie.
"I don't know if you remembered wrongly," An Ran analyzed. "If you remembered wrongly, you should help him refute the rumors. If I remember correctly … although you shouldn't think badly of people, you haven't been in the entertainment industry for long. Maybe you should think about whether you're being … used by others. "
"Of course." An Ran paused. "I'm talking about the worst case scenario. It's also possible that he just went to someone else's place on the way and didn't tell you. In short, once you help him refute the rumors, it'll be fine if no one finds out where he went after leaving your room. If they find out that he went into a secret meeting with a female or male star, you'll definitely be dragged out and slapped in the face … "
"That's enough!"
Hearing the words "female star", "male star" and "secret meeting," Qi Xingchen instantly felt a strong sense of discomfort. He interrupted An Ran. "He won't lie to me."
"Xing Xing, you're in the next scene. Are you ready?"
At this time, the director's assistant called Qi Xingchen to get ready. He put down the script. "I'm ready."
This scene was added later, inserted before Lin Xiao's confession was rejected.
The scene was also in the aquarium.
Lin Xiao didn't have lunch at noon, so Ji Yan brought him a bowl of noodles. Lin Xiao took Ji Yan's casual gesture as a sign of goodwill and kept pestering Ji Yan.
"Sister Ji." Lin Xiao leaned against the railing of the Beluga Training Ground, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other. "How did you know I didn't have lunch?"
Ji Yan was wiping the floor. "Swallow the food before you talk."
Lin Xiao stuffed another chopstick of noodles into his mouth and swallowed. "Don't change the subject."
"… Didn't you have a last-minute performance in the morning?" Ji Yan rolled her eyes. "It's already one o 'clock. You definitely didn't eat."
"It turns out that you care about me so much." Lin Xiao snickered.
"Cut —"
Shang Yuliang stopped him. "Little Qi, your smile is too fake. It's so ugly. Do another scene."
The scene was ready, and the sound of slurping noodles was heard again.
Unfortunately, Director Shang didn't pass this time and let them shoot the third scene.
In order to show that Lin Xiao liked Ji Yan's noodles, Qi Xingchen kept swallowing. He raised his bowl and signaled to the stage supervisor. "There's no more noodles."
For this scene, the stage supervisor prepared a total of three bowls of noodles and trotted to get him another bowl.
However, after the second bowl, Qi Xingchen still didn't pass. Tao Tao looked at him worriedly. "Xing Xing, do you need to rest for a while?"
Qi Xingchen shook his head. "No, it's okay. Stage supervisor, please help me get another bowl. "
"Then you should eat less next time. Don't overeat," Tao Tao said. "Try to pass in one go."
"Okay."
Next, the fifth scene. "Cut!"
The sixth scene. "Cut! Another one! "
"Director Shang …" The stage supervisor was troubled. "There's no more noodles."
Shang Yuliang said, "… Everyone, take a ten-minute break. Xiao Qi, don't move."
Shang Yuliang was very good at taking care of the actors' emotions. Usually, he would call the actors over to prevent them from being embarrassed if other actors or staff heard them.
This time, he was obviously a little anxious. He got up and walked to the training ground. "Xiao Qi, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Qi Xingchen shook his head.
"Then why are you in such a bad state? I was afraid that you would be stressed, so I specifically told the scriptwriter to make the new scenes simpler and less emotional. You made six NGs for a normal conversation. What's going on in your head? Didn't you have enough noodles? "
In fact, six NGs for a new actor weren't considered a lot. Shang Yuliang said so because in his heart, Qi Xingchen had become much more mature after this period of training. He shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
"Director Shang, I was wrong." Qi Xingchen apologized. "You can film the scene first. I'll ask the driver to buy noodles now."
Shang Yuliang glanced at his slightly bulging belly. "… Forget it. We'll move this scene to tomorrow. Go and rest for half an hour."
.
His stomach was too full. Qi Xingchen didn't return to his nanny van. Instead, he went directly to the SEAL training ground.
There were no SEAL scenes today. Xiang Xiang was lying on the ground very comfortably, eating hands and wagging its tail.
Qi Xingchen squatted beside it and kissed its forehead as usual. Then, he took out his phone.
40 minutes had passed. Bai Ye's scandal didn't die down at all. It was still firmly at the top of the trending list.
He didn't want to look at the comments. It must be very noisy now. He touched Xiang Xiang's face. "Brother, do you think I should ask him?"
"Pfft —" Xiang Xiang spat.
Qi Xingchen was spat on. "… You don't want me to ask?"
Then, before Xiang Xiang could do anything, he sneered. "That's true. I don't have a reason to care about his private matters. He's already very good that he can stay with me until so late. "
With that, Qi Xingchen stared at the Weibo post for a few seconds and called the front desk of the hotel he was staying at.
Half an hour later, he received something from the hotel. He edited the Weibo post and sent it.
— — Qi Xingchen: Asked by Director Shang, on the 21st and 22nd, Senior Bai Ye helped me with the drama for two days. I learned a lot from it. Thank you very much.
[Video]
The video was a recording of the hotel's surveillance camera. The quality was average, but it clearly recorded the whole process from when he came out of the hotel to when he jumped into Bai Ye's van.
After doing all this, he bent his finger and scratched Xiang Xiang's itch. "Brother, I feel much better now."
Xiang Xiang panted and closed its eyes. Just as it was about to pat its belly, it was interrupted by a voice behind it.
"Xing Xing, it's almost your turn. Go touch up your makeup."
The stage supervisor ran over to inform him. Seeing Qi Xingchen mumbling to Xiang Xiang, he asked curiously, "Hey, why are you chatting with the SEAL? It can't understand you!"
"Maybe …" Qi Xingchen lowered his head and smiled. "Maybe it's because I ate too much noodles."
.
For the whole day, Lin Xiao and Ji Yan were acting opposite each other.
After changing the script, the second male lead's presence was much smaller, and Lin Xiao and Ji Yan interacted more. From the looks of it, Qi Xingchen and Xu Sheng's roles were already neck and neck.
And from the interaction mode and the female lead's reaction, Lin Xiao had the upper hand and was almost taking on the role of the affectionate second male lead.
After being scolded by Shang Yuliang in the morning, Qi Xingchen had recovered 80% in the afternoon and passed every scene with an average of three lines.
After a monologue and a scene, Tao Tao's assistant entered the set with a phone. "Tao Tao, you just called."
Tao Tao looked at the caller and hurriedly greeted Shang Yuliang. "I'm sorry, Director Shang, I have to go out and make a call."
As the female lead of 'Peaches of the Night', Tao Tao's biggest advantage was her beauty, followed by her professionalism. It was rare for her to go out and make a call.
Qi Xingchen suddenly had an ominous feeling.
Five minutes later, Tao Tao ran back, but she didn't go to the Beluga Training Ground to continue filming. Instead, she whispered something into Shang Yuliang's ear.
Shang Yuliang immediately frowned. "So serious?! Let the assistant director keep an eye on the set. I'll send you there. "
"No need, Director Shang." Tao Tao was so anxious that she didn't even change out of her plastic uniform. "I'll go by myself."
Before her voice fell, Tao Taoren had already disappeared.
Qi Xingchen felt even more uneasy. Seeing Shang Yuliang throw down the walkie-talkie, he hurriedly ran up and asked, "Director Shang, what happened to Sister Tao Tao?"
"Her brother is in the hospital." Shang Yuliang stood up and sighed. "Tao Tao's parents passed away early, and she has been relying on her brother. If something happens to her brother, how is she going to live … Xing Xing, go back and read the script. I'll let the assistant director film the rest of the scenes. I have to go to the hospital to keep an eye on her. Otherwise, it's inconvenient for a female celebrity to do things. "
"Plop — plop — plop —"
The more Shang Yuliang spoke, the faster Qi Xingchen's heart raced!
He stopped Shang Yuliang, who was about to run out. "Director Shang, I have one last question. Why did Sister Tao Tao's brother enter the hospital?"
"He said he was beaten up by a classmate," Shang Yuliang said impatiently. "Alright, Xing Xing, I really have to go now. You have to read the script properly …"
