Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Time quickly passed and it became 2017.

Before New Year's Day, the film crew moved from Xiangshan to Zhongwei, Ningxia.

Wang Churan didn't come along; her scenes were mainly dialogue scenes, and she didn't have much to do in the war scenes.

When the film crew moved to another location, she returned to Shanghai to rest and wait for her next assignment.

It's been almost a week since we separated.

On New Year's Eve, the film crew continued working as usual.

There was no hint of commotion; Lu Haoji sat behind the monitor, his expression exactly the same as usual.

After finishing work in the evening, Ma Sichun organized a dinner party.

The location was a local mutton restaurant. The private room was small, but it was packed with about ten people. A steaming copper pot was placed on the table, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of mutton soup.

When Su Yu arrived, there were already quite a few people sitting at the table.

Wang Xuanqing sat next to Ma Sichun. She played Qiu Hua, Ye Zhao's deputy general, in the drama. She had a romantic storyline with Hu Qing, who played Su Yu. They were quite familiar with each other both on and off screen.

Sitting across from me was Zhang Junming, the one who played the Western Xia prince Yinuo. He had only recently joined the war drama crew and hadn't had many scenes with Su Yu yet.

There were also several actors who were on good terms with me; they were all familiar faces from our time on set.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became lively.

Wang Xuanqing suddenly exclaimed, "Seriously, Su Yu, you've improved so much in the last few months. Now I have to be on my guard when I act opposite you, or I'll be overshadowed by you. You truly deserve to be called a top student."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Sister Xuanqing, you flatter me."

Ma Sichun also chimed in: "He's not only very talented, but also very lucky. His first drama after entering the industry became a hit. Look how popular 'Medical Examiner Qin Ming' was recently."

The others also praised Su Yu, whether sincerely or insincerely.

"Please stop praising me, everyone. If you keep praising me, I'll get too cocky."

Su Yu didn't take their flattery seriously. That's how the entertainment industry is; as long as you become famous, you'll be surrounded by applause and praise.

What he needs to do now is to stay true to himself, because his experience with the emblem has taught him that one shouldn't be too arrogant.

As for how long it can last, Su Yu himself cannot guarantee.

Midway through the conversation, Zhang Junming, who plays the prince of Western Xia, suddenly spoke up: "By the way, why isn't Yilun here?"

There was a moment of silence on the table.

The group exchanged glances, their expressions becoming somewhat subtle. Zhang Junming had only recently joined the crew and clearly hadn't yet figured out the interpersonal relationships within the group.

Ma Sichun picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said meaningfully, "He has something to do and can't come."

The actor next to him patted him on the shoulder and whispered something. Zhang Junming said "Oh," and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face. He didn't ask any further questions.

The people at the table exchanged knowing smiles.

After all, everyone knew why Sheng Yilun didn't come. It was New Year's Eve, and he was probably spending time alone with Director Lü Haojiji.

This wasn't a secret on set, but no one brought it up openly.

Soon after, Ma Sichun suddenly picked up her phone and laughed.

"Hey, Ouhao is video calling."

She answered the video call, the screen lit up, and Ou Hao's face appeared on the screen.

"Are you guys having a get-together?" Ou Hao's voice came through the phone. "Please say hello to everyone at the table for me."

The people at the table all raised their hands to greet him.

Happy New Year, Ouhao Ge!

"Happy New Year!"

……

Ou Hao laughed and replied, "Hello to you all too."

Upon hearing the name Ou Hao, Su Yu immediately thought of his famous scene with Hai Qing.

After they finished their video call, Su Yu suddenly leaned close to Ma Sichun and asked with a mischievous grin.

"Sister Sichun, what does Teacher Ouhao think about 'You are my god'?"

Ma Sichun was speechless. How could she ask her boyfriend about something like this?

"I don't know. Why don't you ask him yourself next time you meet?"

"OK."

Su Yu nodded seriously; he was genuinely curious about what Ou Hao was thinking back then.

Wang Xuanqing, who was standing next to them, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard their conversation.

The people at the table continued chatting casually afterward.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was chatting on his phone with his girlfriend, who was far away in Shanghai.

"We've only been apart for a few days," Ma Sichun joked. "You're even chatting while eating?"

The other actors at the table also wore meaningful smiles.

After all, everyone had been on set for so long, and they all knew about Su Yu's past.

Su Yu wasn't embarrassed.

He picked up his wine glass and raised it to everyone.

"It's my fault, then I'll punish myself with a drink."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone burst into laughter, and Wang Xuanqing slapped the table and shouted, "That's right!"

After dinner, it was almost 11 p.m. when we got back to the hotel.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Su Yu sat on the edge of the bed drying his hair.

The phone screen lit up; it was a video request from Wang Churan.

He answered the phone, and a bright smiling face appeared on the screen.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Churan was wearing loose pajamas, her hair was down, and her face was bare as she nestled in bed.

"Su Yu," she whispered, as if afraid of being overheard, "I miss you so much."

Su Yu held his phone, looking at the face on the screen with tenderness in his eyes.

After all, who can resist a girl who only has eyes for you?

I miss you too.

Wang Churan couldn't help but smile, and then she started rambling on about what happened that day, like going shopping with friends, trying on a really nice dress but not buying it, drinking milk tea, and seeing a cute orange cat squatting in front of a convenience store, etc.

She spoke with great enthusiasm, her voice unconsciously rising when she got excited, then suddenly lowering it again as she hunched her neck and glanced towards the living room.

Su Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you acting like a thief?"

Wang Churan rolled her eyes: "Isn't it because I'm afraid my mom will find out?"

She brought the phone closer to her face and whispered accusations, "And also, I didn't go to the Bund with my friends today just to spend New Year's Eve with you, you pig."

There will be a New Year's Eve light show on the Bund tonight.

Su Yu looked at the face on the screen that was pretending to be angry, and his gaze softened.

"Then I'll go with you next year."

Wang Churan paused for a moment, then smiled with her lips pursed.

"It's a promise."

"Um."

Time ticked by, second by second.

As midnight approached, Wang Churan propped up her phone, rested her chin on her hands, and stared at the screen.

"Su Yu".

"Um?"

"Happy New Year."

Her voice was soft, and the time in the upper right corner of the screen jumped to 00:00.

Su Yu looked at her face and smiled too.

"Happy New Year."

After hanging up the video call, Su Yu leaned against the headboard and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while.

He picked up his phone and opened Weibo. His finger hovered over the input box for a few seconds before typing a line of text.

Happy New Year 2017! /Fireworks/

The accompanying photos are a series of nine pictures taken during his time on set. They are all group photos of him with other actors, but the one in the very center is a solo photo of him and Wang Churan.

After the Weibo post was published, comments began to flood in.

Su Yu now has over a million followers on Weibo. Since the broadcast of "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming," his popularity has remained high, and the comment section is very active.

Happy New Year, my husband!!!

"Brother, you must be working hard filming in the desert. Please keep warm!"

Happy New Year! I want both you and the beautiful scenery.

"Is my husband still awake so late because he's thinking about me?"

Su Yu scrolled through a few posts, and then casually clicked on Wang Churan's Weibo.

She just posted one too.

"I had a very happy New Year's Eve this year /heart/", along with a selfie.

In the photo, she is wearing the costume from the film crew, making a peace sign with her right hand next to her cheek, and wearing a silver bracelet on her wrist.

Her eyes crinkle when she smiles, and she radiates happiness from the inside out.

Wang Churan has few followers on Weibo, and only a handful of comments.

She hasn't officially debuted yet; most of the people who follow her are fans of her looks who were attracted by the drama's promotion and fans of the book "General and I".

Happy New Year, miss!

Looking forward to Liu Xiyin!

"The bracelet is so beautiful! Please share the link!"

What fans don't know is that this photo was taken by Su Yu when she was on set, and the bracelet was also a gift from Su Yu.
