Chapter 121

"......"

There was a moment of silence.

Then, Jian Shiwu coughed, "You really want to watch from there."

Director Wang came from not far away. The JI company was the main investor of this film, so Shen Cheng was naturally a very distinguished guest in the crew. The director, who was very strict before, now had a smile on his face when he saw Shen Cheng: "Mr. Shen, there are so many people here, I'm afraid they'll crowd you, why not go to the director's studio where it’s better."

Shen Cheng sat on the chair, the man's legs were long and slender, his posture was lazy: "No need, it's fine here, thanks to the director's kindness."

Director Wang followed Shen Cheng's gaze towards Jian Shiwu. He has been in this industry for many years, and he now understood a little in his heart. He smiled: "Okay, then I'll let it go. The field manager will come and pour you a glass of water, the weather is a bit cold, so he’ll also bring a heater over here to warm up."

Shen Cheng, however, did not care about this, he lifted his eyes to glance at Jian Shiwu and said, "Just give them the warm air for the actors who are wearing so little."

He was obviously caring about Jian Shiwu.

Director Wang smiled and nodded: "That is natural, this weather is too cool, the actors' heating must be given enough, Xiao Jian ah, you and Mr. Shen...know each other?"

What was with this name call?!

The director is so smart that he can't hide anything. He paused and thought quickly, although he and Shen Cheng are now a couple, but this is also considered a hidden relationship, the scene is crowded, he doesn't want to cause trouble, so now was not a good time to go public.

But the image of Shen Cheng standing in front of his own lounge in the corridor just now, the other staff are not blind and were able to see it, he simply can not pretend not to know ah! The other way is that if he says they don't know each other, Shen Cheng will be angry, and it's not very easy to coax, so why not compromise?

Jian Shiwu smiled happily and replied softly, "Well, we are classmates from high school, we know each other."

Shen Cheng gave a meaningful snicker.

Director Fang looked back and forth at these two people, keenly aware of something, but in the end, he chose not to say anything, "Okay, okay, then let's get ready and start shooting."

When the director gave the word, the rest of the group began to prepare for the scene.

This scene was important to Jian Shiwu, in this scene, he wants the King of Yan to appreciate his excellent zither skills as well as his peerless beauty. This beauty is bone deep, not in the skin, so this was not a bed scene but within the curtains, the lone sound of the zither, the human shadow hidden.

Jian has to play the zither and also to show his form and express himself.

Everything went well at first, but when it came to the second act, as the curtain blew, he looked at the ground on a chair not far away from the set, where Shen Cheng was sitting, and the heroine of the movie was sitting on the ground. Instead of coming over to watch their scene, she ran to Mr. Shen's side, smiling like a flower, full of flattery.

"Dwoiing."

A guzheng tone played wrongly, causing the whole set to jam at once.

Director Wang's voice came out, "Cut!"

Jian Shiwu immediately stood up as he said, "Sorry, I played it wrong."

"What's going on, isn't this piece very familiar, how could you play it wrong?" Director Wang was obviously very puzzled, but he didn't be too harsh, he just said, "Take a ten-minute break and start again later."

Jian Shiwu responded and came down from the curtain, he was far away and saw Shen Cheng still chatting with the female lead in a low voice, looking as if he wasn't even looking at him. Suddenly a bit exasperated, his body reacted faster than his brain, he walked straight over and called out crisply, "Sister Xiao."

Gu Xiao, the female lead, looked at him curiously: "What's wrong?"

Jian Shiwu was not good-natured: "The director is calling you, saying that there is a scene for you in the next scene, so you should go over."

The female lead was surprised: "How is that possible, my next scene is not shot until the evening."

"I don't know, you should go and ask." Anyway, Director Wang would certainly not poke holes in him, so Jian Shiwu said with a straight face, "I've brought the message anyway."

Gu Xiao knew Wang's temper, and although she didn't want to let Shen Cheng go, she deliberated for a moment and then said, "Okay then."

She stood up, and Shen Cheng was still looking lazily, with no intention of speaking.

Gu Xiao said, "Excuse me, Mr. Shen, I'll come back later."

Shen Cheng nodded his head.

Only then did the female lead shyly walk away. Jian Shiwu glared at Shen Cheng the same: "Still watching ah, so fond of watching, why not catch up and talk about the play together?"

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows noncommittally: "What, aren't me and Mr. Jian just high school classmates, we aren’t that aquainted."

"......"

Jian Shiwu choked up.

Speaking of this he was inexplicably weak for a moment. He opened his mouth to retort, but felt that he was the one who was in the wrong, so he sat down next to Shen Cheng in exasperation, "I'm not wrong."

Shen Cheng did not continue to annoy him, but said, "How long are you going to be a high school friend?"

Jian Shiwu was asked, he hadn't thought about this question, but he knew that it was impossible for him and Shen Cheng to keep secret like this. The presence of the female lead just reminded him that Shen Cheng's status and position are too good, and in the outside world this is still a very respectable golden bachelor, no matter how he looks at it, it is a piece of shiny meat, if he does not mark his territory early, it is also very easy to get stolen.

After thinking about it, he probably had a fix, when this movie is finished, his career on track, he’ll find a day for an official announcement. But he still can not tell Shen Cheng, this dog man is just so arrogant.

Thinking of this, Jian Shiwu said with a smile: "If it were made public, would President Shen still have the chance to be so fragrant and jade everywhere?"

Shen Cheng was not stimulated, but was in a rather good mood, the man opened his lips and said: "You are jealous."

"I'm not jealous of anything." Jian snorted: "Sister Xiao has a rich bbacker behind her, she has a lot of things to do, she probably has something bad in mind for you too, probably wants your money so you should be careful."

Shen Cheng: "Is that so?"

Jian Shiwu: "Yes."

"What about you." Shen Cheng peeled an orange for him: "Do you want something from me?"

Jian Shiwu almost choked: "I don't want your money."

Shen Cheng turned his face away, with a meaningful look, hooking his lips and smiled: "Then is it the body you want."

Jian Shiwu met the man's handsome profile, knowing that he was making fun of him, but he couldn't help blushing. This man is really... too bad !

...

One year later

The movie "Duan Yang" was released, the first day the box office exceeded 100 million, ten days later, the box office reached 1.5 billion. The supporting character in the movie, Zhan Ling Shen, left a stunning and exciting impression on the audience, with a flood of positive reviews:.

"Immortal brother is really too good."

"Oooooooh, my white moonlight."

"He's been my white moonlight for a long time oooh wow!"

"I've become a fan, Jian Shiwu is amazing."

That year's summer seemed to be Jian Shiwu's, the role of Zhan Ling Shen became a hit, the name was often seen on the hot search. Luxury endorsements, resource announcements came one after another, the list of newly promoted traffic stars added another name, but unlike other stars, Jian Shiwu's strength was unquestionable.

When the film held another meet and greet, the number of fans and media on stage were numerous, the spotlight was on the glowing youth on stage. There was a lot of media scrambling to ask questions, and Jian Shiwu's nearest female fans and fandoms rather hated the small memory space of their phones.

At the very end of the meeting, the host asked the question that everyone was most concerned about at the moment: "Mr. Jian, it's like this, we've recently had gossip that you actually have a boyfriend, a very close relationship, often photographed shopping and hanging out together, so some people suspect that you are actually in a relationship, or actually a hidden marriage, can you respond positively? Can you give a positive response?"

Jian Shiwu paused, he didn't expect the host to be so sharp.

He had considered going public with Shen Cheng, but definitely not in a venue like this where he was being pressed, because the investor of this movie had Ji behind it and at this meeting, in the first row below was the suited and well-dressed Mr. Shen. The man seemed to notice his gaze and lifted his eyes to look over.

Jian Shiwu had actually been planning to go public with his romance for the past two days, but seeing Shen Cheng in this state, his mischievous heart arose and he suddenly wanted to tease him.

So, he cleared his throat and spoke, "This is all misunderstanding and rumors, I am single and actually want to taste the joy of love, everyone is welcome to introduce me to someone."
