Chapter 185 Mr. Chi, you're so rough!
Chapter 185 Mr. Chi, you're so rough!
Jiang Haochen was furious with the fans of the Huangquan CP, but he was powerless against their overwhelming number of supporters.
So he began to take his anger out on others.
Jiang Haochen: "What's Old Man Yang been up to lately? Hasn't he finished the script yet?"
Before, when I retired from acting, he would always talk about making me come back to acting whenever we met. Now that I'm really going to make a comeback, this old man is taking forever.
Chi Yuan suppressed a laugh and coaxed, "Director Yang is still working on the post-production of 'Eternal Life,' so the script might not be ready so soon."
Jiang Haochen: "The only thing left in the post-production of 'Eternal Life' is the special effects, and he doesn't need to be involved in that part every day. Didn't he spend more than two years working on the script? Why isn't it finished yet? I have to urge him."
Jiang Haochen was driving while making a phone call to Director Yang.
Chi Yuan didn't stop him. He also hoped that the movie could start filming soon. Filming with Jiang Haochen was a dream he had since he entered the industry.
After a few beeps, Director Yang's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Director Yang: "Feed?"
Before the other person could speak, Jiang Haochen asked directly, "Director Yang, how's the script coming along?"
Director Yang scoffed, "What, trying to start filming sooner?"
Jiang Haochen: "That's right."
Director Yang exclaimed, "What goes around comes around! There's a time when even you, Movie Emperor Jiang, are begging me to make a movie."
Back when he took the script to Jiang Haochen to make a comeback, what did this guy say? No interest?
I'm interested now.
Old man, you've got him figured out, haven't you?
Jiang Haochen said unhurriedly, "Chi Yuan just told me that Director Yang is currently very busy with scriptwriting and post-production of 'Eternal Life'."
Director Yang: "It's good that you know."
Jiang Haochen sighed, "I know, and I feel sorry for you too. So I've been thinking, how about you take your time working on this script, and we can look at it again next year?"
Director Yang immediately sensed something was wrong: "What do you mean? You haven't taken a fancy to any other script, have you?"
Since announcing his comeback, Jiang Haochen has received numerous scripts. Moreover, this time, Jiang Haochen is essentially returning for love; if he only makes one film and then retires again, who will he cast in his movies?
Of all the male leads in his movie, Jiang Haochen was the most suitable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited so many years and kept nagging Jiang Haochen.
Jiang Haochen's lips curled into a smile: "I'm discussing this with you right now."
Is that really true?!
Director Yang was so angry that he cursed, "Discuss my ass! I've been working on this script for years, it's a pretty complete script. You're the one who insisted on adding scenes for Chi Yuan, forcing me to change the script. And now you dare to replace me? You really think I can't live without you, huh? Believe me or not, I won't change the second male lead, I'll just change the male lead directly and let Yan Chuan and Chi Yuan play the roles."
These words struck a nerve with Jiang Haochen.
Jiang Haochen: "Old man, you..."
"I'm not acting!" Chi Yuan interrupted Jiang Haochen and said directly to Director Yang on the other end of the phone, "Director Yang, I'm not acting with Yan Chuan. You don't need to change the script anymore, the original script is fine, we'll just film it as it is."
Chi Yuan had read the previous script; it was an excellent one, especially the male lead's character. Although he was a villain, he possessed immense charisma—gentle, strong, and lonely. Upon seeing the script, he understood why Director Yang insisted on casting Jiang Haochen—because the role truly suited Jiang Haochen perfectly.
But after he agreed to everything, Director Yang suddenly said he wanted to revise the script again, which he found strange. It turned out that it was to add more scenes for him.
Director Yang gave him the role of the second male lead, an undercover police officer who deliberately gets close to the male lead. The male lead goes from being wary of him to trusting him, and eventually treats him like a younger brother. He even tries to clean up his career and change his image for the second male lead, but just when he is about to succeed, the second male lead betrays him.
At the end of the movie, the protagonist discovers that the person who betrayed him is the second male lead, whom he treated like a younger brother. The second male lead continues to act out their deep brotherly bond, even trying to coax him into revealing the location of the final arms deal. The protagonist watches him play along, contemplating killing him several times but unable to bring himself to do it. In the end, he even shields the second male lead from a bullet with his own body, only exposing the betrayal at the very moment of his death.
"I had intended to die with you, but... I couldn't bear to. Sir, is my life worthy of a first-class merit?"
The most painful thing about this movie is that the male lead is really good to the second male lead, so good that anyone in the world could kill him, but the second male lead can't.
That's why the protagonist's death at the end was so heartbreaking.
He chose Director Yang's script not only because he was familiar with the director, but also for a more important reason: this was Jiang Haochen's first film after his comeback. He wanted the audience to know that his status as a Best Actor winner had returned at its peak.
He knew that the second male lead's character was not as good as the male lead's, but he didn't mind. He didn't expect that Jiang Haochen would secretly ask Director Yang to revise the script for him.
Jiang Haochen clicked his tongue: "Didn't I tell you to keep it a secret?"
Director Yang grumbled, "How could I not know Chi Yuan was with you?! I think you're just deliberately using me to say it so you can curry favor with Chi Yuan."
Jiang Haochen was momentarily embarrassed. Sure enough, experience counts; the old fox had figured it out.
"Never mind, never mind, just finish the script as soon as possible." Jiang Haochen was about to hang up the phone when Chi Yuan stopped him.
Chi Yuan reiterated, "Director Yang, please don't ruin the integrity of the script because of me. I think the original character design of the second male lead was already very good, and there's no need to add scenes."
Director Yang felt much more at ease after hearing Chi Yuan's words: "Don't worry, if Jiang Haochen's words are unreasonable, I won't add scenes arbitrarily. The original second male lead's character was indeed not well-developed enough. He did give me a lot of ideas. Compared to a movie that highlights a single male lead, a movie with two equally matched male leads will be more interesting. I've almost finished the revisions here. I'll show it to you when it's done."
After saying that, Director Yang hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Chi Yuan's car immediately fell silent. Chi Yuan lowered his head, seemingly angry.
Jiang Haochen's heart skipped a beat. He had indeed called Director Yang because he was provoked by the huge difference in the number of CP fans. His suggestions to Director Yang to revise the script were genuinely intended to improve Chi Yuan's character. But he hadn't discussed these things with Chi Yuan beforehand. Was Chi Yuan angry?
Chi Yuan already lacked a sense of security. Would Chi Yuan feel that he didn't care about him because of his domineering behavior? Would Chi Yuan feel that he was still habitually interacting with him as a sugar daddy?
Jiang Haochen became increasingly uneasy as he thought about it.
The two drove all the way to their destination. Jiang Haochen stopped the car, intending to explain to Chi Yuan. He turned around, and just as he called out to Chi Yuan, his lips were sealed by a kiss.
"Hmm~"
Chi Yuan had unbuckled his seatbelt at some point, leaned over him, and kissed his lips fiercely. He pressed him against the car door with a fierce, domineering, and forceful kiss.
Jiang Haochen was first taken aback, then realized something, and was immediately and easily overpowered by his delicate and weak body.
After a long kiss, their foreheads touched, their eyes locked, and they breathed heavily.
Finally, Chi Yuan seemed to suddenly come to his senses and hurriedly created some distance: "We're... here."
As he spoke, he was about to get off the bus.
Jiang Haochen, a stark contrast to his previous delicate and soft demeanor, pulled the man back abruptly. His shy expression contrasted sharply with his domineering action: "Mr. Chi, you were really rough just now."
Chi Yuan was both embarrassed and flustered: "I...I...yes..."
"But I like it."
Before Chi Yuan could apologize, Jiang Haochen shared his feelings.
His kitten is starting to show possessiveness and aggression towards him, which is a good sign.
Chi Yuan blushed and said, "Oh."
Jiang Haochen, however, wouldn't let him off the hook: "Why were you kissing me like that?"
Chi Yuan truthfully expressed his feelings: "I want to thank you."
Jiang Haochen: "Didn't I say that you don't need to thank me?"
Chi Yuan whispered, "That's why... we kissed."
Jiang Haochen could no longer suppress his smile, and just as he was about to say something to tease Chi Yuan, Chi Yuan's phone rang.
Chi Yuan hurriedly answered the phone, and Huang Kai's impatient voice came from the other end: "Hey you two, are you done kissing? If you really can't, there's a hotel next to the apartment complex."
Chi Yuan suddenly looked up and saw Huang Kai standing ten meters in front of their car, staring straight at them.
"Although you'll always have a spare bedroom in my new house, don't even think about bringing men in to have sex."
