Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Chapter 104 My Su's acting skills may be the worst

Su Yu is now really struggling to withstand Hu Lianxin's advances.

Aside from filming, this girl loved to hang around him whenever she had free time on set.

She would offer him water when he was thirsty, massage his shoulders when he was tired, and even the way she looked at him was full of undisguised admiration and love.

Judging from her expression, it seemed like she couldn't wait for the entire crew to know that she had feelings for Su Yu.

Su Yu felt that if this continued, he would really lose control and be severely electrocuted.

So lately, he can only spend as much time as possible chatting with Wang Yanlin and Peng Yichang.

Although Hu Lianxin was also going to come along, having other people present would at least help to avoid any suspicion.

When Wang Yanlin and Peng Yichang first joined the crew, they were somewhat cautious in their attitude towards Su Yu, afraid that they might accidentally offend him somewhere.

They had all witnessed the fighting power of Su Yu's fans. If they offended Su Yu, they would be buried alive by those crazy fans if word got out.

Especially Wang Yanlin, a seasoned veteran, has participated in many film and television crews and has been in many crews since he entered the industry, so he has naturally met many actors.

In his opinion, most famous celebrities, especially those who have only recently become popular, have rather bad tempers and are practically arrogant.

He had encountered such an actor before on a period drama set; being late and leaving early was the norm for him.

Once, when the makeup artist's hand trembled while applying eyeliner to him, he immediately threw the makeup brush on the ground, pointed at her nose, and cursed her for a long time, making the young girl who had just entered the industry squat in the corner and cry for almost half an hour.

Wang Yanlin was playing a minor supporting role in that group at the time and witnessed the whole process firsthand. From then on, he developed a deep wariness of "newly popular traffic stars".

So when he joined the "Someday or One Day" production team, he was on high alert. When he spoke to Su Yu, his tone was somewhat reserved, and his words were exceptionally respectful, for fear of saying something wrong and offending this top-tier boss.

Although Peng Yichang hasn't been in the industry for very long, he is a very disciplined person.

He was also exceptionally tactful when speaking to Su Yu.

However, after spending the past few days together, the two of them found that Su Yu was much easier to get along with than they had imagined.

On set, Su Yu ate whatever they ate; he never received any special treatment.

What surprised the two even more was that after Su Yu learned that they both played League of Legends, he often invited them to play together.

Wang Yanlin is fairly skilled at gaming, but Peng Yichang's skill level is... well, let's just say it's questionable. To paraphrase Su Yu, "Peng Peng, you're a complete mess when you play ADC!"

But Su Yu would still call him every time they played together, complaining while silently carrying the whole team.

As time went by, the two of them stopped being as cautious as when they first joined the group, and gradually became more comfortable chatting with Su Yu, occasionally even making harmless little jokes with him.

At this moment, Wang Yanlin saw Su Yu walking towards them again, his expression carrying a clear sense of "seeking refuge." He couldn't help but tease him ambiguously, "Teacher Su, you're quite the ladies' man."

Su Yu glanced at him, sat down in the chair next to Wang Yanlin, and said in a calm tone, "Don't talk nonsense. My relationship with her is completely innocent. There's nothing between us."

Wang Yanlin sensed that Su Yu was speaking with a serious attitude, and suddenly remembered the uproar that had happened some time ago.

Su Yu almost got his career ruined by that smear campaign.

Wang Yanlin then realized the inappropriateness of his words and quickly composed himself, his tone unusually tense: "I'm sorry, Teacher Su, I was being sarcastic. I won't say such things again."

Su Yu waved his hand dismissively: "It's okay, just don't talk nonsense outside. I don't have many taboos, but I have one bottom line: don't joke about my love life."

"I've got it." Wang Yanlin nodded solemnly.

He cursed himself inwardly: I've been spending too much time with Su Yu lately, and I've gotten a little arrogant. I'm saying all sorts of things without thinking. Luckily, Su Yu didn't hold it against me.

He had seen too many celebrities in this industry who seemed easygoing on the surface but held grudges behind the scenes. If he had made that joke to those people, they might have just laughed it off on the surface, but they might have secretly held a grudge.

Su Yu not only didn't hold it against him, but also took the initiative to draw a line for him, making sure that any taboos were clearly stated to his face.

In Wang Yanlin's understanding, this kind of person usually doesn't bring up past grievances behind people's backs.

This frank behavior made Wang Yanlin think even more highly of Su Yu.

Su Yu saw that Peng Yichang was staring intently at his phone screen and didn't even notice him coming.

So he curiously leaned over and asked, "What is Pengpeng looking at? He seems so engrossed."

"That Victoria's Secret model fell during the show." Peng Yichang handed over his phone. "It's trending on social media, lots of people are sharing it."

Su Yu saw the hashtag #XiMengyaoFallsInVictoriaSecretShow# prominently displayed on the screen, followed by a dark red "Explosive" character.

He clicked on the link and saw that during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show held in New York early this morning, Chinese supermodel Xi Mengyao accidentally stepped on her skirt and fell on the runway.

The video has been edited into various versions and spread wildly on Weibo. Some versions have been accompanied by sentimental music, some have been replayed in slow motion, and some have been made into comparison pictures of other models' reactions.

What left Su Yu speechless was that the top comments section was already filled with "sympathy" and "hugs" from various celebrities.

He handed the phone back to Peng Yichang, his lips twitching slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Peng Yichang didn't notice his expression and was still sighing, "Poor thing, it must have hurt a lot to fall down like that."

Su Yu was speechless at Peng Yichang's words.

No? Are all celebrities in the industry this empathetic?

This was clearly not Xi Mengyao's own mistake, so why is everyone sympathizing with her?

Wang Yanlin listened from the side, his lips twitching slightly, but he didn't say anything, only nodding and making a few "uh-huh" sounds.

Su Yu noticed his movement, and at that moment Wang Yanlin also looked over. The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's thoughts.

They smiled at each other, everything understood without a word.

Peng Peng, being the simpleton he is, didn't notice their little interaction and was still making some comments.

Hu Lianxin walked over at this moment, curiously approaching Su Yu, tilting her head slightly, her expression showing a hint of confusion: "Brother, what are you two discussing?"

Su Yu briefly explained the whole story to her.

After hearing this, Hu Lianxin slightly opened her mouth, blinked, and looked incredulous: "This can even trend on social media?"

Su Yu completely agreed with what Xiao Hu said. He could only say that she was indeed his little fangirl, and that they were on the same wavelength in their thoughts.

"Maybe everyone's pretty free."

The group then stopped discussing the matter, as the film crew was about to begin work.

When the group gathered for lunch, Su Yu checked his phone and found that this trending topic had completely exploded.

As time went by, more and more people in the industry began to side with Xi Mengyao.

On Weibo's trending topics list, the hashtag #XiMengyaoFalls# not only didn't drop, but instead continued to gain traction due to more and more celebrities reposting it.

The scene was quite lively, almost comparable to the Wong Kar-wai incident back then.

He glanced at the celebrities who had shared the post: Chen Chichi, Xie Na, Yang Mi, Chen Xuedong, He Jiong —

Goodness, half of the entertainment industry is here!

Su Yu had a lot of complaints he wanted to vent, but looking at the bustling film crew, he remembered that he had just been targeted by online attacks not long ago.

So he had no choice but to suppress his urge to complain.

"Wow, everyone from the Happy Family has shared it, and Sister Na even wrote a long article to support Xi Mengyao."

Peng Yichang was holding his phone and sighing.

This made Su Yu feel even more frustrated. He could understand He Jiong, after all, He Jiong had a really strong sense of empathy.

But Xie Na really couldn't hold back anymore. After all, this woman is known for being carefree. Posting a long article to support her at this time would be a clear attempt to gain attention.

The key point is that she also said that Xi Mengyao made a mistake because she was injured, which is just fooling everyone.

What made Su Yu most nervous was that a certain hip-hop champion and deer driver stood up to support him.

Dude, don't you know what kind of person you are? Why are you coming here to play the role of a kind and caring guy?

At this moment, Peng Yichang suddenly said, "Brother Yu, aren't you going to post on Weibo to show your support?"

This left Su Yu speechless; he didn't know how to respond to Peng Yichang.

He's already showing some restraint by not complaining, and now we expect him to support him?

Wang Yanlin's expression was the same; like Su Yu, he was also holding it in and looked quite uncomfortable, his face tense and strained.

Seeing Su Yu's constipated appearance, Hu Lianxin asked with concern, "Brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Yu let out a long breath and calmed himself down. "It's okay, I just choked."

Hearing this, she was startled and quickly came over to pat Su Yu's back.

"Brother, do you want to go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Su Yu waved his hand, "It's okay, I've already swallowed it."

This distraction finally managed to smooth things over.

After everyone finished eating, filming resumed.

After so many days of getting to know each other, everyone has become more and more in sync.

What amazed everyone the most was Hu Lianxin's acting skills; she switched seamlessly when portraying Chen Yunru.

Her acting skills have also improved rapidly.

Wang Yanlin's acting skills are beyond question; he perfectly portrayed Xie Zhiqi's perverted nature.

Peng Yichang, on the other hand, is a naturally gifted actor, and his acting skills are beyond question.

Su Yu felt that it wouldn't be long before he would be the worst actor among them.

His acting skills are still at the level of Jiang Chen in "A Love So Beautiful". After all, he has been busy with other things recently and has no time to improve his acting skills.

This filming experience served as a wake-up call for him, since he couldn't rely on idol dramas for his entire life.

Therefore, it's still necessary to improve one's professional skills; after all, you should love what you do.

As a representative of professionalism in the industry, Su Yu naturally didn't want to become the kind of actor he hated most in his past life—an actor who only took money and did nothing but use green screen and stare blankly.

The day's filming ended quickly.

On the bus, Xiao Zhou looked at her phone and naturally came across the trending topics about Xi Mengyao.

"No, these people are really bored. How can such a trivial matter make it to the trending topics? I see Weibo's trending topics as a toilet; anyone can use them."

Xiao Zhou directly complained that since there were no outsiders in the car, she naturally didn't need to be careful with her words.

Her comment immediately brought out Su Yu's long-suppressed urge to complain.

Since there were no outsiders in the car, and only the most trusted Xiao Zhou was in the back seat, Su Yu immediately unleashed his full power.

"Who says otherwise! This group loves to form cliques this way, just like last time with Wong Kar-wai, a bunch of them flooded Weibo saying they liked him," all fawning over Wong Kar-wai.

"What a fucking hypocrite!"
